Hello xda !
I have recently updated my s4 gt-i9505 to android lollipop 5.0.1. Now, i am, like many others experiencing a touchwiz home issue. It will just crash when trying to place or move an icon on the home screen.
Booting in safe mode, clearing the system cache and erasing touchwiz home's data don't fix the issue. So i think/hope it is related too our device's settings/ disabled apps/ installed apps.
Has anyone managed to get rid of this issue or could people experiencing the same issue post a list of their installed and disabled apps ? I have attached my app list to this post.
Thank you,
Inse
Didnt disable anything not a single crash!

Let me try that
Working fine here other than a few wee niggles.
SPlanner stops occasionally and I have to reload the widget on the homescreen and on a couple of occasions I've not received a notification tone when I've had a text but it's still vibrated and still had the notification message but that's only happened 3 times in the last few weeks.
I've used Titanium to freeze quite a few apps, such as the Samsung bloat-ware and most of the Google play apps.
Overall I'm happy with lollipop.
Chrome redraw and keyboard redraw many times home screen back to stock wallpaper once in 2 days auto restart..

Thank you for the info, I "undisabled" all my apps and did a restart, but that did not fix it.
Are there any others trying to fix or managed to fix this issue ?
Sorry, didn't see your posts earlier, i have not received a notification email. Thanks for the info all
Whatever you do these bugs come after few days of restarting your phone.. Lollipop fix needed very fast samsung should be reported to release a very fast

Yeah, it is a really bad update, some people mention that a factory reset doesn't fix it, some say it does... I do still think the problem is samsung related and that they will have to fix it.
Today I called customer service people they saying the fix is coming soon but compete stable rom will take at least 2 months

I tried different leak rom before,
and right now I am using official froyo
Every time after starting up the system, or after mounting the SD card,
when the media scanning is finished, launcherpro is not responding and hanging.
Anyone got the same thing?
I dont want to send email to the author if this is an only issue of me
I think another update is coming soon for lp. I sometimes get a lockup and fc in 2.1 with lp

I have the same thing, it's so annoying that I switched to Zeam. Hopefully a new update will come soon.
Same thing happens to me. I am running official Rogers Froto on my AT&T Captivate. I tried looking in the logs for something, but I couldn't find anything. Send a emails to the developer.
Yea I've tried like 20 roms.always locks up and force closes after reboot. Sometime it sits for like 5 mins before the fc message pops up. I have the plus version and running Axura 2.2.7.1 Voodoo.contacted tech support about it and he said that its my rom.can't be. tried 20 different Roms.pisses me off.

I have had this happen a couple of times as well. However, I have noticed that it only happens when I try to start opening things or moving between home screens before the media scanning has finished. If I let it do its thing, then it doesn't seem to hang ever. Still kind of annoying, and I don't know if that is the case with you all as well, but that seems to be what causes it on mine.

Nope because I always wait till the media scanner is done.but it still locks up and a fc message pops up.even let it sit for like 20 mins before but was still stuck until it errored out and fc again.they need to fix the dam bug.I even got the plus version.

LP runs fine for me, but I'm having a problem having it stick as the default launcher. Whenever I use Titanium Backup or long-press the home button, I'll get the prompt asking me which home application. There are a couple of other apps that result in the same problem, but I can't think of them off the top of my head. I've tried using Home Switcher to see if that fixes it, but no luck. I have the same problem with ADW EX.
This is happening to me as well.
If it locks up, try repeatedly hitting home, usually will give me a prompt to wait or fc. I never get this issue on my galaxy tab and it's running 2.2

Looks like there is enough evidence to show them launcher pro has some kind of problem in vibrant 2.2
This happens to me as well. Hold the hime button then go to task manager and kill lp.

When lp acts funny for me I hit the power button then unlock it and that usually works for me.
LauncherPro has worked great on my device with 2.2 (Nero V5) the only time I seem to notice anything is when the media scan is finishing its thing and there are to many apps running at start up in the background. I use advance task killer to kill the apps that do not need to be running and I never seem to have the problem again until I reboot. It doesn't seem to me to be a LauncherPro issue, media scan seems to bring the device to its knees until it is finished. Once my device is running smooth I never seem to have that issue again only after I reboot my device.
Love my Vibrant and LauncherPro Plus is far better then all the other Launchers I have tried (in my humble opinion) but each of us have different needs I guess. I actually use almost everyone of the widgets and can not wait for the update coming when the gmail widget will be added to the Launcher.
cheers

Yes this is what i do everytime after starting up...
But still so annoying and the should fix it.
So just to update on the topic I downloaded Launcher Pro again today and everything works well. No hanging after reboot and no other problem from what I've seen. You guys may want to give it a try.

I was using Nero5 and got the same problem FC alot in LauncherPro. I couldn't save the LP settings though. What seemed to fix it is removing LP and reinstall it. After that, things seem to work better and less FC with LP.
I'm using stock Froyo now with fresh LP install from the market, no FC so far. So I would say it's not LP always hanged in 2.2...but something is stuck or got carried over from previous installation/ROM. Just try remove it and reinstall LP again from Market, it should work better - at least for me, it did.

Same thing happens to mu phone on adw ex... when i turn my phone off and turn it back on, the screen goea blank, i can only see the notification bar scanning, but would hang on black screen then shuts off by itself.. that's with stock ka7.. now im on ka6 kies version and my phone is fine...
or maybe the cause was the lock screen? I used the pin code lock screen.. it could be it? Now im on ka6 official and with pattern lock screen, it seems fine... and i domt wanna try and use any other lock screen besides the pattern one. Ive done countless reflash because o this issue.. so no more flashing, lol.. but i could be wrong though, it could be something else that's causinrit, just speculating..
The only time I've experienced a FC of any kind on LPP, is when I had Colorize running with it. They don't play nice together. Other than that, it's been 100% stable for me with any rom.
Any idea what would cause ALL of my homescreen widgets to stop updating i.e. freeze for no obvious reason? I'm completely stock & un-rooted, and when this issue first came up I did a factory reset but the problem still comes up out of nowhere. Everything will be working fine and then out of nowhere they all stop updating. Here are the widgets I use:
Fancy Widget
Switch Pro
Android Pro Widgets
BattStatt Pro
I've been using these same widgets for at least three years, and over three different devices, and this has never been a problem, which makes me think it's something weird with KitKat. At this point I'm removing widgets one by one to see if I can narrow it down, but it is so f-ing frustrating because everything will be fine for a day or two and then WHAM all of my homescreen widgets just lock up and the only way to get them to update again is to reboot the device which is a pain in my ass. It's worth mentioning that even after all the widgets freeze the stock 'Weather' widget still works fine...
Help!
Nova launcher much better than touched just use that?

Thanks, I'll give it a try to see if I still have the issue. I used to run LauncherPro back in the day - even paid for the plus version - but then the dev promptly stopped releasing updates, and I felt somewhat ripped off. . . From then on I've stayed with whatever launcher came stock on the device.
How did you manage to put widgets on lock screen?
I had it on my S4 but I couldn't find that settings in the S5.

I posted about the same issue in the Verizon GS5 forums: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2738912. Hopefully one of us will get an answer. My weather widgets were stopping the refresh (BeWeather and Beautiful Widgets), and I use Go Launcher and Apex. And my interval between requiring a launcher restart drops - initially its a couple days, but as time progresses, I need to reset more and more frequently.
Not sure its a KitKat specific issue - my Nexus 7 (2012) running KitKat runs all widgets fine.

So, I'm NOT the only one after all. And you have this issue even on Apex? Not good - I was hoping that would be a solution for me.
In searching around online I found the following info on another forum:
"this issue occurs because kitkat has changed the way it manages background alarms. most widgets that update frequently use "alarmmanager" to trigger each update. but in kitkat, the trigger event is intentionally delayed so that android can group processes together, saving battery life and data use. so, for all those clock and weather widgets, the developers have to write a bunch of new code for kitkat devices, so that their widgets update at the intended time."
After reading this I tested a theory and set my alarm to go off in 2 minutes. The alarm went off, and sure enough all widgets were frozen . . . I figured it must be the 'Timely Alarm Clock' app causing the issue, so I uninstalled and went back to stock alarm. This didn't work however, because two days later everything froze up again . . . I'm wondering now if it might be one of the other apps I'm using in the background, but there are so many possibilities and the issue is so intermittent. I never use 'task killers' or battery monitoring apps, so that isn't it. I could spend weeks trying to narrow it down, and it's always possible that more than one app could be causing the problem.

I can't speak for the author, but I believe he was referring to "alarms" from a programming sense. I.e. the alarm is what "wakes up" the phone to tell it to go on the internet, fine the latest weather info, and update the widget.
Widgets are working fine on my Nexus 7 (2012) that runs KitKat. I think I had a similar issue on my SGS3 when I first got it, and I posted to those forums a couple years ago, but now for the life of me I cannot remember what the solution was...it may have been to move to Apex!
Interestingly enough, the problem seems to have fixed itself. There were updates to Apex in the meantime, perhaps its that.
My friend with Go Launcher is also seeing the same impact - the issue is gone.
Has your issue gone away?

I hesitate to respond for fear of tempting fate . . . But since installing Nova launcher two weeks ago I haven't had a single issue with home screen widgets freezing. I am also experiencing truly great battery life now, but I'm not sure if Nova had anything to do with that since I made a number of other tweaks I'd done trying to fix the widget issue. In any case, I finally feel like my S5 is glitch free and functioning as a next-gen device should.

Mine is still working good - only a few sporadic widget hangs. There must have been an update that fixed the issue - I just did two factory resets and my widgets still update fine.

I have had this happen with many widgets. It's been pretty annoying.
Hello,
I have been searching the forums and the web for an answer but no luck, I hope someone could help me figure out what could be the issue.
I'm attaching some pictures so you can see exactly what is going on. At this moment I have this issue, with the play store, facebook and viber...
I have reset the phone multiple times and still the same.
It happens when you start to scroll, with facebook it is actually weird, it doesn't happen all the time, and it overlaps only like the "gray box" where you have the Like, Comment and Share buttons.
Phone is Galaxy S5 SM-G900H.
Thanks for any help!

Saw your thread, mine has never done that, no lagging nor freezing.
Mine actually works fine. In any of the applications I mentioned, if I scroll to the right (viber and facebook) and then go back, the top bar displays fine, the if you start to scroll down or up, it happens again.
I'll continue searching and testing....
You are on the first stage . I think )
Hi I have a Samsung Galaxy S5 900h. I experience the same problem but only on Facebook, I did the screen test (*#0*#0 or something like that) and in my opinion the hardware is working properly. Also If I turn my phone Facebook screen refresh in good shape, so I think It's a refresh problem.
Does anybody has the same issue? How to solve it?
Regards.
overlapping issue
did any one found solution for this i am still facing this issue with facebook,twitter and viber
Hi:
Since yesterday tweeter is overlapping also, when scrolling up at the left corner it disappeared the tweeter icon and overlap the user tweet photo.
The screen works OK it's just a display refresh issue but instead of fix it there are some other apps with the same issue. Today Facebook and Tweeter shows the same problem.
Does Samsung knows about this? I Think they must deploy an operation system fix immediately.
Regards.
Hi:
I am very happy to tell you yesterday my phone receive an update and automatically installed Android 5.0. All screens problems have been disappeared in Facebook and Twitter.
Now my Galaxy S5 is working fine.
Did you already receive the update?
Regards!
Has anyone found a fix for this other than getting an update? I'm on the Straight Talk version of S5, which doesn't have any updates to Lollipop. I'm stuck with this overlapping issue. Maybe if I restore a nandroid backup or something? They never made an ODIN flashable for my version either, so nandroid is the best I can do. Maybe an xposed module could fix it? Idk, just ideas. I realize this thread is from over a year ago, but the problem still exists for some of us who can't update :/

Guys, I have noticed that, about 2 days ago, the Facebook app began to create a weird issue when I click the back button to close the app. Someone already made a video clip as seen below to illustrate the issue. Does anyone have the same issue and found a way to fix it? This hiccup really annoys me

I really don't know what causes this issue. Maybe Facebook app is the one to blame since I am using Nova launcher and the other guys use stock launcher.

I am also using the stock launcher. Probably is the facebook app as you said. Tested almost all my apps but it's the only one with the problem.
I'm 99% sure there's something wrong with their adaptation to full screen mode and it forces a redraw once you exit. It's been annoying the heck out of me.
I think I found a work-around solution for this issue temporarily. This is how I did:
1. Changed your default launcher to stock Samsung.
2. Restarted the device.
3. Changed the launcher to Nova.
4. Changed the Facebook icon to something else.
5. Clicked on Facebook app, used the back button .... and the wallpaper didn't jump!
I updated to the new OTA today, and the problem came back. However, when I went through the same steps, the issue stopped. Give it a try, guys!
I have the S8 and noticed this too, but I never took note of which app caused it. Now I know it's Facebook
I am unique.butt From Softlinks.
The Solution is so simple click and hold on Facebook App icone Then go into app info and scroll down and find the option (Appear On Top) disable this option now your Facebook app will close with back key if you fave similar problem with ither android app you can do this with those apps as well i hope you will like this solution thanks.
Hello!
I have a samsung s7 edge and after the update of Nougat the phone is not working correctly.
Especially when i use whatsapp & viber the keyboard has a big delay when i write something and when i go out from a chat the keyboard remain in the screen for 2-4 sec.
I tried to run some apps like malwarebytes or to run from setting menu the device maintenance. I tried also a factory reset which was the most effective solution but just for 1 week. After the first week the crashing in the apps came back.
Any thoughts for solution? \
Thank you!
Disable the prediction and the lag will stop
I have this too. On Nougat and GBoard. Super annoying. The other thing I noticed is that the voice icon disappears from the keyboard and have to restart the phone.
