App icons disappearing - Redmi K20 / Xiaomi Mi 9T Questions & Answers

I notice when using Evie launcher as well as Nova launcher that occasionally (it's happened three times now in a month) that when I look at my phone in the morning after waking up, 30% of the icons on the home screen are missing. Evie has a backup/restore, so I then just restore and it's all good but not sure what's going on. My thought is that somehow the automatic phone backup that happens once a week is somehow causing this.
Any thoughts?

anybody have issues with widgets?

Yesterday i turned on my iconia and all the Widgets were gone off the home screens. The app shortcuts were still there but no Widgets. Also noticed my YouTube widget is a 1x4 now and looks funky. Anybody else have this issue? Is it the iconia or honeycomb?
YES
I thought it was just me, but everything came up "problem loading widget."
I am using ADW launcher EX and just blamed it on that. What about you?
I lost mine when I did the upgrade, but no issues since.
I am having issues where the widgets disappear and a 'Loading' message appears; the only way to fix it is to do a reboot.
I'm using the stock launcher. I didn't even have a loading message. Widgets just disappeared. Tried rebooting several times but that didnt work. I ended up reinstalling all the widgets yesterday and everything seems to be alright now. Also my YouTube widget is back to a 3x2 so that's good. I dunno seems like a honeycomb bug or something.
I had the same problem.
Suddenly the widgets were gone, each of them replaced by a grey icon saying "error loading widget".
Rebooting several times didn't fix that.
I use adw es too and i noticed that if i switched to the stock launcher the widget worked but returning again to adw they were still missing.
I had to remove the widgets and reload them.
I think it' related to Adw.
Sorry for my poor english.
I've had the issue as well. When I added the Music (official Google app) icon to the home screen they all reappeared. Likely just adding any icon to the home screen will bring them back up.

Problem loading widget is an ADW error, likely. I've had it before, usually if I do a wipe then restore my desktop settings via ADW and the widget isn't available.
Now, with know that error is due to the widget not being found, it definitely appears like the Iconia is for some reason not loading the widget, like it can't find them in the system or something. Hope this one gets addressed.

Widgets dont refresh/update in background

Hi.
I noticed that my Fancy Widget and other clock-widgets doesnt update anymore when i open apps, documents or other services. Example:
Clock shows 19:21, Widgets shows 19:21. As long as my phone stays on one of the 5 homescreens, the time updates as usual. But when i open an app (browser, mail, gallery, or any other app) or game and return to my homescreen i can see the time didnt update since i opened the app or game. Lets say i open my browser 19:22, i visit some websites, and switch back to my homescreen 5 minutes later (19:27), the widget didnt update the time within these 5 minutes. When i stay on the homescreen and wait for next minute, the widget updates the time correct.
Whats wrong?
I dont have any task-killers installed. I have 2.3.3 rooted. I didnt remove any bloatware.
I take it you haven't moved the app to the SD either?
What app you mean? Widgets cant be moved to SD, because they wont work when placed on SD.
Are you using SE launcher or a 3rd party one? Try installing https://market.android.com/details?id=com.th.android.widget.gTabsimiClock&feature=search_result and see if its the same. I am using that clock/weather/battery widget with no problems.
I am using SE Launcher again. I used ADW Launcher EX, but got to many errors, so i went back to my stock SE Launcher.
Edit: I tried simiClock, it happens too. It doesnt matter what clock-widget i am using. It doesnt refresh/update when apps/games are running and i switch back to the homescreen.
Most clocks do not update if you have moved them to the SD card.
Make sure it is installed on the phone.
My stock weather widget never updates the location in the background, only when launching it manually will it update on the home screen.
@dsswoosh
As i posted just before....clocks/widgets dont work at all when moved to SD. I install all my widgets on the phone!!

You mean Go launcher ex? try launcher pro, i have tried Go launcher ex, Adw and launcher pro and cannot seem to replicate the problems you are describing, also not had any errors or force closes on any. Do the clock widgets that come with SE launcher do the same? or just 3rd party clock widgets you install? If the stock clocks dont work then maybe reinstalling the fw will fix it.
I tried ADW Launcher EX again (yes, its ADW EX ). Time updates in the background as it should. It seems that its only an SE-Launcher issue. Can someone try?
Maybe it is always like this and i never noticed this before while using the stock SE Launcher?! I think i can live with it, but maybe there is a way to fix it without using a different launcher?

Indeed your right its ADW Launcher EX ive always just called it adw. Well using the stock SE launcher my clock widgets update in the background so im guessing its a problem with your SE launcher. Possibly reinstalling the fw will fix the SE launchers bug? Worth a try i suppose.
I've been experiencing this on my Xperia Arc too. It has nothing to do with launchers or task killers in my case (I use neither). I have been able to reproduce it three times:
1. after a week using my Arc, I noticed a new clock widget wasn't updating except when foregrounded, and not until the next minute ticked over. I also noticed a weather widget wouldn't update reliably.
2. after two months without a solution, i completely reset the phone. All good. While playing a game, I received a call. Afterwards, the above widget types wouldn't refresh except as above.
I deleted an unrelated widget because I didn't need it, and (perhaps coincidentally) the other widgets started refreshing properly.
3. a week later, I received a call while using the calendar app. Widgets no longer refresh, except as above. I haven't been able to find a fix this time. Tested widgets like the stock digital clock shows the same problem.
So for me it looks like the common thread is an incoming call while using an app. I would guess this must be happening to a few other people, as it's the same symptoms as the OP described.
If u hav installed beautiful widgets then..
Well after lots of trial and error.. the only solution i found is..
1. uninstall beautiful widgets animation
2. clear data beautiful widgets from settings - apps - beautiful widgets
3. uninstall beautiful widgets..
Living without beautiful widgets is better than facing that refresh problem..

[Q] Launcher redraw ?

I have latest 20G update on my D802. I'm using stock LG launcher. Lately, I get quick launcher redraw, afte unlocking my phone. Weather widget and couple of icons redraw with a "blink". Is there any solution to this? Anybody else expiriencing the same issue?
If the entire launcher is redrawing then it might be getting kicked out of memory. Some 3rd party launchers have an option to remain in memory, can you try one of those and tell me whether those launchers also redraw.

I tried Nova launcher and it doesn't redraw, but transition animations are choppy (micro stutters, but they are smooth when using live wallpaper), so I decided to stick with stock launcher. As I said, it's not that entire launcher is redrawing, but two folders and 4x1 default weather widget.
I have never used stock kk, so it could be an issue with the update. Try clearing cache/data for the LG apps via settings, Apps->All.

I had the same problem on 20d. Got tired of it and I use apex now. It never redraws and animation is smoother. Free ram is also much more with apex.
Too bad cuz i liked stock lg launcher.

Yesterday, I made a factory data reset, after updating to 20H firmware on my D802. Still, this launcher redraw issue is present and it's really bothering me. If I have to do something on the fly and just after unlocking my phone, this redraw happens and whole interface stutters for second or two.
Same here since 20G... Happy to see that I'm not alone... Again a buggy update...
Having the same issue with 20c, nothing changed after a couple of flashes as well.
Been using the stock launcher for 1 year and it always redraw. Finally installed Nova last week and there is no more launcher redraw issue.
I guess I'm lucky; not a single redraw here, not even that one when switching from portrait to landscape (or vice versa). 20H.
I also had the same problem with stock LG launcher but I`ve read somewhere that the problem is gone when there is no folders on launcher.
I had 3 folders and when I removed them the problem is gone
Is anyone with the problem having folders on homescreen? If you do try to remove them and see what would happen
well, actualy folders and widget are indeed redrawing and I can confirm that I have folders...BUT I had some on previous rom I it worked flawlessly...
I just removed one folder that was on my home screen. Lets see if there will be some redrawing now.
Interesting, never thought about folders and redrawing. Got 3 of them tho. Plus 4 widgets (if we count clock). Still no issues, eh...

Never had any folders - still redraws every once in a while... Have 4 widgets though...
For the lag it seems that it occurs when I press home after switching from a band to another or from an antenna to another
Whell, last night I removed folder from the home screen and I still gor redraws, so it must be bad coding in LG Home launcher.
After KK update I've had launcher redraws even after killing all background apps, so I had them hundreds times every day. After updating to "H" release all redraws gone. Not any single redraw.
It is far better with 20h for sure but still having some lags
I have 20H firmware and redraws all the time. Even after factory reset.

Disappearing Widgets (all of them)

Hi Everybody,
I'm stock unrooted and still waiting for the 6.0.1 update.
Starting yesterday, all of my widgets began just disappearing. I put them back, and and later in the day they're gone again. Three of them on two different home screens.
Anybody experience or heard about this?
I've been having this exact same issue I don't know why but I'll set up my widgets and then at what seems to random times usually days apart the widgets just disappear and I can't readd them to the home screen as they are no longer in the widget selector in the Google launcher. The only thing that fixes it is a reboot and then the widget appear in the selector again and I have set them up again. I'm on 6.0.1 and still getting this issue
Me too. I had the same issue after the 6.0.1 update.

Google Now Cards Disappearing Too?
I am experiencing the same phenomenon with my widgets randomly disappearing on my Nexus 6P running rooted but stock 6.0.1. I thought it might have had something to do with me having Gravity Box installed with Xposed Framework and enabling the "resize any widget" function.
Additionally, all of my Google Now cards disappear and won't reappear unless I disable cards and then reenable them. Anyone having issues with their cards disappearing as well?
Stock 6P on 6.01 and someone keeps swiping my widgets too! Sometimes it's just one other times it's a couple and others it's all of them.
Seriously anyone have any insight into this??

Any update, anyone? This is driving me crazy!
I did a factory data reset and thought this problem was fixed. But then it happened again shortly after I plugged into Android auto. Anyone else using Android auto? Maybe that is the (or a) trigger.
Sounds like a launcher issue to me. I have been using Nova launcher most of the time since I have had my 6P, and I have not experienced it. Sounds like a bug in Google Launcher. If you guys are using Google Launcher, switch to a different launcher, set it as your default, set your apps and widgets up, restart your phone. See if it happens any over the next couple days.
Downloaded Nova launcher and they haven't disappeared since and it's been a day. Fingers crossed. It was happening up to three times a day before.
Update: It is definitely the Google Now launcher causing the issue. It's been several days now and not one widget has disappeared since switching to Nova launcher.

Mine still unpredictably disappear. Sometimes I'll go weeks without incident, and then sometimes I'll have to replace them days in a row. Sometimes just one goes, sometimes all at once. However, without fail my Google Calendar agenda widget remains unaffected. It's always there. I actually switched to it from Event Flow because I don't have to worry about it disappearing, even though the Event Flow widget is way better.
Maybe N will fix this when it finally hits.

I get this on my moto x pure too. Drives me insane. Any stock widget stays, third party vanish
Same issue

Nova Launcher switches to One UI when i clear recent apps

Hi, I have a Samsung S10+ running Android 10 and One UI 2.5.
I am constantly getting an issue with Nova Launcher where if i clear my recent apps the screen refreshes and then One UI takes over and it goes to that home screen rather than Nova. If i then press the Home button again it then takes me back to Nova's home screen again and does stay there until i clear my recent apps again.
Nova is definitely set to the default launcher and when this happens i go into the Nova settings and it shows no launcher is set as default, i then set it as default but the same thing keeps happening each time.
I have tried clearing the cache from both Nova and One UI but this didn't fix anything.
Is this a know issue? It has happened for a while but wasn't that annoying but since a recent android update it seems to be happening all the time now.
Does anyone know if i can fix this?
Thanks
James
Did you perhaps got sd card installed? Usually if the app installed on sd card, it will revert back to default launcher whenever you restart.
I have also had this happen to me recently, happens generally when I have recently restarted the phone for a couple of hours and then it won't happen, really odd. It started happening after the November update. And to @Zac3 I don't have a sd card installed.
Same here !!! It bugs even out sometimes, switch automatic to One UI Launcher, and i can not open sometimes my recents Apps, i had cleared so many times data and cache, but nothing seems working.
Also when i got Nova immersive in settings, it shows me the black bar at the top of the screen, that also doesnt seem to work.
