Homescreen icons and widgets dissappear - Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Just got my second nexus 4. Rooted then installed cm10. I keep having a problem where one of my home screens keeps losing all icons. It happens to different home screens pages. Did I receive a bad phone? This never happened on my old nexus 4. The only solution is to force stop trebuchet, then my icons come back. Really annoying.
Thanks

Lol no. It's something to do with the software. Try another full wipe. Do not restore any apps or anything yet, and see if the problem still persists.

I found the problem. The issue only occurs in nightlies. It happens when you switch from app drawer to home screen really fast. I replicated the bug multiple times by repeatedly switching from drawer to home screen. The problem is gone on rc5.

Widgets and 2.3.3

Anyone having issues with widgets loading in 2.3.3?
My twitter widget will not load. Even stranger, I cannot add any applications to any screen. Very odd.
I'm running on ADW. Is ADW the real issue?

how did you get them back? a long press does nothing for me now!
hmmm. my widgets work just fine. long press also works. did you try a reboot?

Only problem I am having with 2.3.3 is the screen colors. It's terrible, definitely gotta get use to it..
Widgets work fine. Try a reboot or a battery pull.
Works fine here, using LauncherPro Plus.
I chose to clear the dalvik cache before rebooting, after applying the update. Perhaps that helped me?

Haven't used ADW in a long time but isn't there an option to lock your screens? Which in turn wouldn't allow you to modify anything.
Press menu and check that out.
no problem here. all widgets work fine and i didnt have to mess with them at all.
This happened to me today but I'm still on 2.3.2...

Rebooted and long pressed. I did have it lose them a couple more times though. It's fine now... I think.

I noticed that too, the call interface is gray or something, the color seems different. What were you referring to?

This. From the home screen you can also press:
Menu>Add
To add a widget.
Menu>More>Unlock Desktop
To unlock the home screen if locked.

The few widgets I use are working the same. Only problem I ran into was having to reinstall Swype.
Running on stock android.
Not sure how it got locked, but the unlock feature did the trick.
Thanks!

Does anyone else notice this?

Im on stock rom and I realized their is a lot of lag when going through the home screen. I only have a couple widgets and icons..does anyone else have this?
what launcher are you using? mines is smooth as butter using ADW EX.
Im using the stock launcher
Yeah I also started to notice it. Very heavy lag too. I switched back to Launcher Pro Plus and no problems yet.

I'm on the stock rom stock kernel stock launcher. My homescreen is good even with the. nexus live wallpaper. I've always found adw to lag. This is y I always return to stock.
i only get that problem when i have a live wallpaper on. that will slow down the screen big time. other then that im all gravy baby
The only lag I have is when I first boot my phone. If I try and move anything on my screen I get told that launcherpro has stopped responding... I click "wait" and 15 seconds later were gold. Annoying yes, deal breaker...no

I've been doing it a bit lately flashing new nightly's and showing off the CM7 3D boot animation to people lol. But yeah it's whatever I suppose
I Used to have the same issue, regardingless if I'm ussing ADW/LIVE-Wallpaper/GO Launcher or something like that. After reinstalling my device on Saturday it works smooth as a new car
On the boot the media scanner slows the phone to a crawl that last longer the more on your sd card you can improve the speed by deleting the folder android from the root of your sd card then reboot. Sometimes the gallery thumbnails get corrupt

I get it sometimes. The best temporary fixes are to use a different launcher like ADW or LP or change the CPU governor.
ICS should enable hardware acceleration of the home screen, which will eliminate this problem, but we won't be seeing that for ~6 months.

Nexus 7 Stuck scrolling up?

Hi, this has happened twice now.
Once on Facebook, and once on the Browser I think
What happens, is it seems like someone (a robot with really quick fingers) keeps flicking my screen up, so when I try to scroll down the page, it goes down a little bit and then goes straight back up, so it seems to "bounce" off the top of the page.
I have to keep closing things, pressing home button/back button lots, close apps etc and then it will stop.
What could be causing this? I hope I explained it well enough.
Thanks !
Anyone?
Are you rooted? If so, try restoring to stock or re-flashing the stock ROM. I don't really have any idea what could cause that scrolling issue, but if it continues, I would exchange/RMA your N7.

[Q] Overheating and Launcher issues

Hi
I've noticed that my Nexus 4 has been overheating a lot ever since the 4.3 update. Additionally, whenever I try to rearrange apps on the home screen, I get and error that the Launcher has stopped working.
Has this happened to anybody else, and more importantly, is there a fix? Please help!
Oh and I should mention that my nexus 4 is stock and unrooted.
Thanks
PS: *Unrelated* The Facebook app has started misbehaving and restarts whenever I try to open a conversation. Reinstalling does not fix this problem. If you have a solution, please help.

overheating.. if its not shutting itself down at 100C, then its not overheating. and i highly doubt its reaching 100C. why do you say overheating? does it "feel" hot to you? you do realize that "feel" isnt a way to tell what temperature it is. what temperature does it reach for you to say overheating? cpu temp? battery temp?when most people say "overheating", what they really mean is that they feel the heat through the back glass, which is normal. the phone will get warm as you use it, thats how its supposed to work.
and what launcher are you using?
also, the facebook app has been misbehaving for years, its a known bad app. i uninstalled facebook more than a year and a half ago, and cant be happier. their site is just as good as their app, but their site doesnt misbehave constantly.
