Ever since I updated to 4.3 my widgets have been freezing and not responding at all! The widgets are Eye in The Sky and the stock 4x1 power control... Anyone else having the same issues or any luck fixing them?
Thanks

I have this exact same problem. Thought it might have been do to something with nova launcher so I reinstall, problem still hasn't gone away.
Same here.
It happens with the widgets "Eye in the Sky - 4x2" and "Smooth Calendar".
Interestingly the other widget I use "GTasks" works smoothly.
I thought the problem was related to the Jelly bean 4.3 or to the "Nova Settings" update.
I noticed that some apps are updating versions "compatible to 4.3". So, maybe the cause is the new jelly bean.
I have tried to remove the widget and put it in homescreens again. I worked for a while, but the problem come back later.

Getting the same problem with Facebook widget, OI shopping, smooth calendar and bbc weather.
I fixed the issue! I switched from Nova to Apex and everything is running smoothly again! I am going to wait until Nova sends out an update/fix, and then switch back again!

guys this prob can only be fixed by google itselve i guess! I tried everything possible! I also thought its an app or the launcher or more apps together or some widgets causing this but every time I thought I've found the problem source, a few hours of happiness later I was disappointed again. Tried with stock rom and custom roms but nothing helped and nobody on the whole damn internet seems to have a solution.
Unfortunately the prob also persists in Android 4.3 i saw. So I gave up every hope now.
The problem on my device stopped alone after some days. I think google sent an invisible correction/update.
Since more or less two weeks I didn't have the problem again.

techfrom10 got access to a test version of Market and downloaded some Google apps which apparently are test versions also.
Please see which apk works fine for you. As for me, only the camera is ok! LOL
What is working:
-Other users report Camera is OK (including me). FC when switching to video and viewing preview.
-Other users report Music is working fine for them.
-Clock widget is ok. Honeycomb style But only the widget. if you open it, FC!
*I checked the details of the apks: target version is 11, meaning those are for Honeycomb.
Maybe FCs are caused by missing or incompatible libraries.
Thanks to techfrom10!
im on dark v10 rc3 and i cant get clock, gallery, music to work. Camera and market work fine though, do i need to uninstall the old clock gallery and music to get it working?

Nope you do not need to. Somehow other apks work on other ROM versions of SGS. Mine which is running stock XXJVK only has camera working ok.
I hope others will test these and see which apks work for any ROM, may it be stock or custom, and maybe devs here could find out why it works or not.
Running Darkys 9.3 Music works fine, have not tested the others yet.
i got gingerbread.xxjvk, camera works until i change to video, everything else force closes.

Same as mine. As confirmed, these apps are for Honeycomb F/W only. It only goes to show that Google is about to release its proprietary apps for Honeycomb, with new Market interface
I'd be interested to know if there has been any updates to the Google News Weather widget app (genie.apk). I've got version 1.2.02 (RC2(PROD) according to the settings page in the widget, but i've had this since Eclair 2.1 and it was taken out of a Cyanogen ROM for the Nexus.
Now on 2.2.1 and the widget seems to still work, but sometime the offline caching doesn't work as well as it used to on 2.2.
Anyone got a new version of the genie.apk?

Apparently techfrom10 did not see or download it in the test Market. I think Google already abandoned that app as it is not even pre-installed on Nexus S.
Let us just hope that come Honeycomb release, a new better version of geniewidget will also come out. For now it is just MIA for that app.
none of them work on js8
i had music player and it worked fine on js8. and on xxjvk, the camera worked for me. no video, just photo.
thanks i will try...
Thanks for testing guys! I hope some devs could figure out how to fix or circumvent the FCs so we could use it on our phone
Though I am not that hopeful since the source code for those apps is not yet released. Besides any missing libraries, coming from Honeycomb, would be difficult to fix.
On stock JVK,
music, gallery, clock FC on open.
Camera FC when switching to video mode.

We all have almost the same result. Let's wait then for the HC to come out before we can use these goodies
I'm on Goatrip (Jvk) with damiangto's ultimate kernel beta 5
And i've tried all of them but only camera works
The clock widget works but after every reboot it gives me FCs :/

Hi,
I'm running stock 4.3 on my Nexus 4 (unrooted). Recently I've been getting this "No Client" notification popup at the bottom of my screen, it's independent of the app or window I'm on. It's driving me mad, I really don't know what it is.
Can anyone help?
Anybody with any clues? Ideas about suspect Apps or settings?
its one of your apps, 100%.
How do I find out which app?
you can uninstall your apps, then install them one by one until you find the guilty app. or you can go through all your apps settings until you find it.

I'm thinking I should look for an app running in the background? Or can the popup/alert show up from any app? Oh boy, I have a lot of apps, it's gonna take a while!
This is driving me nuts..ive uninstalled/reinstalled most of my apps..and i still get this nagging popup!!
Do you use "Android Widget Pro" ?
Happens on my stock Nexus 5 as well.
Happening on my stock Nexus 7 2013 more and more frequently. Hopefully someone can identify the guilt app so I don't have to rebuild.
And no I don't use Android Widget Pro.
This has been bothering me for months. It has to be an app but I have no idea which one. I have over 200 apps installed so although the uninstall/reinstall idea would be effective, it is not practical for me. If the message was consistent maybe, but its not. Anyone with less apps installed want to try?
Same for me on my Nexus 4. Getting insane!!!

how about a screen shot of what you are seeing? I'm not getting the popup on my N4 or N7.

I unlocked my bootloader, rooted and installed CM. Installing my apps day by day and the stupid toast started appearing last night. I'll try to narrow down the app based on the time of install.
Right now I'm suspecting Pocket Casts.

Got the issue on my 2013 Nexus 7, unrooted. I'm not using Pocket Casts, using BeyondPod as a podcast client.
How about greader pro? I've been reading on another thread that turning location options off then on again in Google Settings sorts the problem.

No not using that app either. Mine is becoming more frequent, its annoying but not annoying enough to do a factory wipe. Hopefully someone will narrow down the issue to an app or setting soon!
I really enjoy Google now. I use it all the time. I've been using it since it came out. I also like the left side of my home screen more then the right. I don't need three different ways to get to Google now from the home screen and I definetly dont want to turn off google now. I also don't want to use nova or apex launcher because I've used them for years. Does anybody know where I can find the KitKat launcher without Google now embedded?

Flash CyanogenMod 11. In cyanogenmod, use "Launcher 3" as your default

I'd like to stay somewhat stock for as long as possible. If I start flashing now who knows what I could end up running. If I pull launcher three and run it on stock will it work? Would I need to be deodexed?
There's two or three kitkat launcher clones around, check the xda apps section or google play. Can't recommend one as I'm happy enough with stock, but they seem to be near exact copies.
I'm not sure if this works on the nexus 5 since I only got one three days ago, but on my gnex I flashed a KitKat ROM and then flashed bank's core gapps, not the "standard" ones and the launcher wasn't the Google now one. I did it on accident, but it may work for you. Just flash a stock ROM and banks core gapps and it may work.

I use this and love it you can turn off the Google now feature

Hi everybody, since I am on lollipop, there is this annoying lag when opening recent apps. I think everybody has this. In my case it takes between 3 to 5 secs until it opens. I can't stand that.
I already have chainfire s recent app installed but that doesn't work in my case.
My question is, if somebody has a fix or can give me a link to another Rom where the recent apps opens fast?
Help would be appreciated!
Regards

So you say that you never had a lag on lollipop, when opening recent apps?
That's strange!
Am I the only person with this problem?

Never, I tested it last night by opening about 15 apps, then hitting the home button after opening each one, so they all ended up as recent apps - then once back on the home screen, I hit the recent apps button and in under half a second it opened fine, nice smooth scrolling between them
The only thing that takes a bit longer to open for me, is the gallery, which is about 1-2 seconds opening time instead of instant, probably because I have hundreds of images saved
I'm using NOVA Launcher Prime if that makes any difference, TouchWiz is a laggy POS anyway, first thing I disable
Thanks for the info, perhaps nova is the cause, I will try that
@"detection"
Can you tell me if the Samsung widgets work on nova? Especially weather and splanner widget?
I have most of the Samsung bloat disabled / frozen so can't test
But I would imagine so, give it a try, NOVA is free, but you can buy the Prime version if you want extras, but for general use, the free version does everything and more than stock TouchWiz, and is 10x faster
So i've been reading for a bit and apparently there was an update that added an app drawer to Leeco phones (someone correct me if i'm wrong) but i can't find the system update option on my phone at all and i've looked everywhere.
Any help would be appreciated, thank you.
EDIT: Did some additional searching and it seems i have a shop rom (i have google apps and no system update option and zero chinese bloatware).
So for anyone that comes across this thread, you can't update unless you go through update.zip.
That's bad. I just got this phone and I was suprised that I don't have the bloatware launcher, but Google Now. Also I can't find any system updater in options. Seems like I have the same thing, which is both a plus and minus. And do you have a problem with custom launchers? Google Now is a poop and when I installed Lawnchair, I couldn't remove the last app I opened from the multitasking. Specifically it appeared in one "window" with the launcher so I couldn't "kick it out". I got back to Google Now, but I hate it. Do you have the same problem?
(Lol, such a long post)
Haven't actually tried a different launcher, i hear Nova is good though, it might be worth it to try.

Sorry for such a late reply. Finally moved to a custom launcher (Microsoft Launcher) and it has the same issue with the last app staying open. So i make sure to always keep the dialer/contacts app open as it seems like the least performance/battery heavy app to keep running. Annoying, but way way better than the launcher the phone came with that didn't even have an app drawer.
