BUG with the WM6 'Task Manager' and Today refreshing

Hopefully this hasn't already been posted, but I just figured out a problem with my T-Wing that has been pissing me off for a while.
The issue: If I change my today plugins, they will not update until I soft reset.
I scoured through settings, uninstalled programs one at a time, nothing. I hard reset and reinstalled programs one at a time, still had the problem.
I finally realized that, without thinking about it, one of the first things I was doing was disabling the 'Task Manager' button on the Today screen (in the top right corner.)
If any of you guys experience this issue, check if you still have this enabled on Today. If not, to reenable it, go to Start > Settings > System > Task Manager and in the Button tab check 'Enable Quick Menu on the Today Screen.
I've toggled this on and off and verified that it was causing my problem...
Hope it helps!!

Thanks, I was wondering why the screen wasn't refreshing...I thought it was the change in the pagepool that caused the bug, but guess not.

"OK" Button Not Right on Tilt Since ROM Update

I updated my Tilt's ROM to the latest version, doing the reset trick to skip installing the AT&T bloatware just as I had done with the previous ROM version.
All seems well, except that my "OK" button no longer works like it used to. When I press it now, it minimizes/hides some applications instead of closing them out. Previously, it closed them (like tapping the "X" does). Is there a way to fix this without installing the AT&T software?
What's interesting is that it works correctly with some apps, but not with others. For example, if I have the camera or phone dialer up, pressing the OK button completely closes them. But if I have Pocket IE up, pressing OK only minimizes/hides it.

go into task manager. goto options, then make sure "press and hold X to close" is not selected. if it is, select the other one and it should work.

Thanks for the tip. I just checked, and "End programs by tapping 'X'" is selected (not "End programs by tapping and holding 'X'").
So theoretically, things should be working--but they're not. In addition to PIE not closing using the OK button, I just noticed that File Explorer doesn't, either.

I suppose you could try using Quickmenu (attached), this also has options regarding the "X to close" command. Give it a try if you want, I personally can't live without it

HButton all the way, I have my ok button set to <ok/close> if i tap it and <quit> if I hold it.

Thanks--I'll check that out.

[Q] Were are the games?

Last night i installed 2 games together with 20-30 aps after a hard reset. However they do not appear anywhere. Not in the app drawer or in the application manager.
When I try to reinstall them it asks to replace the application and then once I press install it says "out of space, free up some space and try again".
How can i delete them?
Please help I don't want to hard reset again cause it took me forever to get all the apps and setting right!

On Home Screen Long Press Home Button Then Task Manager Then Select Package Tab

Thats the problem, they dont appear anywhere but when i try to install them again it asks if i want to replace and then it gives me the not enough space error.

Search installed applications in Google Now stops working

Are any of you having issues with the Google Now search of installed applications? I have the checkbox checked in the Google Now settings (Settings -> Phone search -> Apps- Names of installed applications), but sometimes this just stops working until I go into the settings again to uncheck and check it.
This also happens with my Contacts

Yes! This just started for me a couple days ago. The only thing that setting you mentioned above does for me now is search THROUGH installed apps for hits, but no longer brings up the app itself. Unfortunately your fix of checking and unchecking doesn't seem to do the trick for me (I'm on a Note 2).
For anyone who's not familiar with this behavior, it's a really nice feature of the main Google Now bar everyone should have on their home screen:
Punching in part of an app name in the Google Now bar pulls up hits including the app itself.
It's very convenient to for example turn on your phone, type in "Scan", and get as the top hit the Genius Scan app for example (you might only remember the "Scan" part of the name of the app).
Or type in "Face" and the Facebook app shows up. (Partials work.)
It's very similar to the iOS left-swipe search, the Windows 7 Start button, and OSX Spotlight.
Hunting and pecking through the app list is for chumps.

After today's Google+ update patch, this issue is now resolved.

same problem here..

[Q] Text message count problem

I just updated my SGS III LTE to android 4.3 and I found this annoying problem and I don't know how to get rid of it.
The problem is whenever I get a new text message, I go read it by pulling down the notification bar and clicking on the new message and after that I go back to the homescreen by pressing the back button but on the SMS icon, there's number one on it indicating that I have a new message which I just read like a second ago. So, does anyone know how to fix this?
I use the original app and I have never downloaded or installed any other SMS apps from Play store.
I've tried to clear the cache from the application and also from BadgeProvider and force closed both and booted the phone several times but still no work.
The phone isn't rooted or anything and the only way of getting rid of that is by booting the phone and I would have to do that constantly.

Um yeah.. So it was open more than a minute so..
That wasn't the solution

Ahh the joys of 4.3..... Not

SOLVED
Go to Settings -> More -> Developer options -> Scroll down to Applications -> Uncheck "Do not keep"
If you don't have Developer settings then go to Settings -> More -> About Device -> And click on "Build number" seven (7) times until a pop up comes saying that developer's settings are now enabled. Then go back to Settings -> More and there should be Developer's settings on the list
