Apps not staying open - Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I used to be able to open a bunch of apps and press the home button so that I can instantly open them again. But now they seem to get kicked out quite often. Is this what happens when you use art or something?

[Q] Apps not launching?

Alright so I got a 32GB nexus 7 from futureshop, unlocked/rooted it running stock 4.2.1 and stock launcher. After I leave my tablet in sleep mode for a while (Atleast overnight) and then turn it on I can't launch ANY apps. Settings, games, nothing. The touch screen works perfectly fine I can open up the recent apps and the app menu no problem. However when I click on an app it just stays "glowing" and it doesn't launch until I reboot the device.
After searching I found nothing that relates to what I'm experiencing. So is there any solution to this?
Try to wipe it using cwm and then redownload the apps. Hope it helps! Please press the the thank you button if I helped

[Q] installing APK

Hello,
When you download an APK, not from the playstore, but from the internet, and put it on your phone's storage and then install the app, let's say i wish to uninstall the app, does the app apear at the "downloaded" section of apps?.. or at the "all" section.
It should show up under installed. You can long press app while in app drawer and hit the red x in corner it will ask if you want to un install.

Under installed?.. if i look settings > apps > it only shows Downloaded/running/all .....
Go to play store hit menu/my apps first column is installed swipe to the right and it will show you every app you ever downloaded via the Gmail account you are logged into. Be aware that some of these app might be from a different device and might not be compatible with your current phone

Get Nova Launcher, you can drag & drop uninstall

GPS won't turn off

Hey everyone,
I have the AT&T 32GB GS4. For the past few days, I have been experiencing odd battery drainages during the second half of the day. I was looking at the battery section of the settings menu, and when I turn off GPS through the notifications bar (when I'm done navigating), the GPS is showing that it is still running. It doesn't turn off until I restart the phone. Also, Google Services is taking up 40%+ of the battery and it hasn't done that ever. I've had this phone for a month.
Any ideas?

could be location service related or weather app related. freeze all apps you DL'd and check again.
That didn't work. I turned off all apps and cleared data for Maps. Also, none of my apps are allowed to use my location.

try doing a factory reset from the settings menu. Just backup everything you want to keep onto your sd card
Do you have yahoo weather installed

Once you are rooted you can use an app like this one, pretty sure you cant on stock
Multi Window Manager
There is also have an app for adding Pen window apps

Chrome browser trouble

Running latest version. 35.0.1916.138
Works fine most of the day, not heavy usage, then sometimes I'll open it to go to a page and I get a blank page. Once I clear cache and force stop, then open it will work. I sent a report, hoping the next update fixes it.
