For the last week, everything on my home screen has been disappearing. Sometimes my apps and widgets will there, but usually they won't. If anyone has any tips/suggestions I would appreciate it.

U need to give more info than that to be helped. Did u put apps on the sd card?
I had this happen to me before too, shortly after I installed Launcher Pro. It was happening on the stock launcher (icons disappearing from the home screen). After I installed a 3rd launcher, ADWLauncher, everything seemed to finally work again. FWIW.

Sorry if this has been addressed, but the search function in XDA has been down for the last couple of days. I have a problem when I turn on my phone from the lock screen, the Accuweather widget will display "Restart Widget, Problem loading widget". Not a big deal as it has a button to easily do that, but it can be restarted, I can lock the phone, and 5 seconds later unlock it and it will display this. It doesn't do it all of the time, but probably half of the time. It will do it with the normal widget and the transparent one as well. I don't think it's the widget because I have other widgets (like a kill apps button that will display the text "Ending All Applications" and it won't work all of the time either. I never noticed this before I rooted my phone. I have an AT&T S4 with MF3 firmware. This happens while on stock or custom roms also. Anyone have any similar happenings or suggestions to help?

I had the exact issue just a day or two ago - I just got annoyed and totally uninstalled the widget, restarted the phone, reinstalled the widget and haven't had a problem since. Give that a shot if you haven't?

I'm currently on the stock rom and opened up Titanium Backup to uninstall it. It wasn't named SamsungWidget_Weather as I would have expected. Can you let me know the name of the app that you uninstalled? I'll give your suggestion a try.

I got my phone but haven't set it up yet. Are you using Nova right now with the 6p? Have they optimized it for Android 6.0?

Furthermore, I love the new "normalise icon" feature. It works beautifully.
+1 for Nova. If you got the $50 credit, get Nova Prime (paid), although test out the free one first to see if you like it.
I like Action Launcher 3 better than Nova but the latter is as good as it gets if you want to set up the phone old school. Realistically everyone should have a second launcher installed off the market just to get the backup for a corrupt stock launcher. You don't have to use it but if the stock launcher is hosed Android will start the phone up with the second which will allow you to get through your day and deal with the fix later.
Perhaps someone else will flesh this out for you but the reason people are saying install another launcher may be because you didn't used to be able to rid yourself of the search bar without root on Nexus devices. Not sure if this has changed since I only screwed around with it when it first came out for about the 5 minutes it took to figure out I hated it and haven't looked back since. Maybe that has changed though...
the gesture capabilities are nice on Nova too. i do a double tap to launch the Play Store for App updates.

You should download the screen off app and bind the double tap to turn off the screen. That for off and the fingerprint for on, you'll never have to touch the power button (but double tapping the power button for quick camera is still pretty awesome, so you probably will - lol).
any non root/rom ways to get screen to turn on with double tap or something by touching the screen?

You can use nova/screen on to turn it off and it doesn't require root. To turn on, you can use the fingerprint sensor.

Screen Off and Lock Apps break Nexus Imprint

The only thing I do not like about Nova is that it does not play nice with Google Now. Or at least that is the case on my tablet.

Have you ever had the launcher go bad? I never had that happen.
Nova launcher is reporting bug with pulling down notification shade and says Google is aware. This is marshmallow only.

Twice. Once when switching themes and once with an app conflict that hosed ADW. I normally have multiple launchers installed as I like to switch things up but it also comes in handy when the chips are down.

OK, so third party launchers? I always keep stock launcher active. I'm going to give the stock launcher a decent chance but that bar might drive me to Nova or action.

That doesn't make any sense. I've been using it for a few days and I've had no problems with Imprint at all.
Update: I take that back. So, I just played with it a little bit and you're right. If I power off via the button, imprint allows me to power on and unlock immediately. If I double-tap to power off, when I touch the sensor, it still asks for the pin code.
I personally like the Google Now launcher. I don't see what's wrong with the search bar at the top, personally. I'm not a fan of the newest skin they put on it, though. The launcher, as a whole, though us functional and minimal, which is what I prefer. Having google now with a swipe to the right is a bonus.
Anyone know of a fix? My clock will randomly be tiny in the center of my screen, but when I press and hold it to re-size it's already as big as it will go? So I go small, then back to big to make it full size again
I have removed the Widget
Stock Everything
Driving me CRAZY!

Have you tried clearing cache and data of your clock?

I have and just wiped Device cache as well.
I guess now I wait...
Nope! Still doing it! Someone has to have a fix for this!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!
Does no one know how to fix this? Is it just something I have to deal with & there is no fix? A Bug? Will be fixed in a future release?

You are the only person I've ever read of having this issue. I agree it's weird and I'm sure rather frustrating. Anything short of just wiping the device and flashing the factory image may be in vein. As long as you flash the image and don't restore any data I would be shocked if it came back.
Ugh... Wiped, FDR without restore and still having the same issue...
Okay, so I just got a replacement 6P for a pink screen issue & the damn clock widget still does the same thing? That's 2 separate phones with the same issue? I can't be the only one...
Some other app is causing it.

Take screen shots of what its supposed to look like and of what it ends up looking like. The only thing that would cause that on mine is if I put some other widget near it and it was fighting for the same footprint.

I have a very minimal Home Screen. There is nothing in the way to abstruct the Clock Widget
I have the same problem. It's been happening ever since the last update to the clock app. I think it has something to do with them making the widget resizeable for the Google now launcher. Im using Nova. It's definitely not your phone. It's a bug in the clock app.

Have you tried dragging the lines as far as possible so the whole screen is the widget padding? Just an idea. I use Google now launcher/apex launcher and have not had any issues. I'll try with Nova and see if it happens.
I have this issue. I only use nova and it happens to me most time. Im not using the widget anymore. Just using zooper widget.
I think making the widget bigger than it needs to be has fixed it! Yay! Thx Gizmoe
I recently rooted my phone using Is in and had my own set of issues with that but am now unrooted to the best of my knowledge. However I am still running custom Rom from the root. Everything seems to work perfectly except for Samsung Pay which I tried to fix by flashing all new stock rom through Odin to no avail, but that isn't my problem. I noticed when moving apps around on my screen that the whole screen woukd go blank and I'd just be holding the app guessing where to put it. When trying to edit widgets there was no home screen, except for briefing, which hadn't been working. After turning briefing on and creating a new home page simply because I didn't want to deal with it and couldn't find help, I couldn't place any widgets due to the fact that they are on this phantom briefing home page already. When changing the grid for apps within the page settings, I can see the apps on the "briefing" page but that is the only way that I can see it all. If possible I'd like to wipe the widgets or something of the sort if there is no way to fix my pages. Please help me if you have any advice. I just want my phone working again.
I have imgur links for the screenshots but can't post them because this is my first post.
Are you using a custom launcher? If so, which one is it.
Resolved, sort of.

I am using the stock launcher, I have since fixed the issue through a factory reset and restore of apps. My advice to all S7 Edge rooters until the bug is truly fixed: after you get your phone rooted or unrooted, running custom rom, if you see that briefing is missing, create a new home page and move all of your apps one page to the right. Leave the original homepage, now on the left, blank and designate the one with apps as your main page by clicking the home icon. With the two home pages set up, go apply a theme. This should force the phone to locate all of the apps and "think" about them. For me this automatically placed briefing over the blank home page that is to the left. I hope that this helps anyone experiencing the same issue. Thank you for the reply and I'm glad to be a part of XDA
