[Q] Widgets Issue - AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5

Hello again!
Does anyone have any problem with their Galaxy S5 G900A regarding widgets?
For me, some widgets do not work. I drag and drop them on the screen, but don't want to stay on. In the running apps, it says that they are already running... Are they invisible or what?
Tried uninstalling and installing again. Tried reset to factory settings... Nothing works.
Thank you in advance!

Anyone?

Anyone else?

The only problem I have had with widgets disappearing is if I have moved the app to the SD card. If you use a widget and I use a lot, you can't have that app anywhere but the device.

Thanks for the reply.
No, all my apps are on the devices' memory. The only things I keep on the SD Card, are the photos, videos and music files.
And it's not that it's disappearing, the damn thing doesn't even stick to the screen... :|

Launcher Pro not responding at boot

Lately I've LP has been freezing on me in a few moments after boot, basically after media scanning is done my UI is frozen and I need to bring up task manager to close out LP and exit out of task manager and it runs fine again, anyone know whats causing this?
it happens i think. i remember just installing chompsms and it's been happening since. switched to handcent and the problem's not there anymore.
maybe some application is causing it on your end?
I have the same problem! No matter what I do, Launcher Pro freezes after booting up, I have to close & re-open!
I had the same problem no matter what setup I used on my phone, even did it straight after a clean factory reset. Gave up with it in the end and am using Zeam Launcher now, very quick and responsive although I do miss the LP widgets
Found a fix, its caused by the .andriod secure folder on the EXTERNAL SD.. delete all the contents from there and mark the folder as READ ONLY and reinstall your apps that were there w/o the EXTERNAL SD card to guarantee they dont come back.
100% fixed on my end!

Ain't that the folder used by apps 2 sd? I would rather put up with fc in lp then screw with app 2 sd.

I dont even use app 2 sd in the first place.
I still have thouse hangs at bootup, sometimes goes fine, sometimes it is needed to be closed. I had this folder on my external sd, the folder is empty. Read and Write flags are off
Any other suggestion?
I have same problem... +1
it looks like its an actual error with the app itself, i have had this problem lots of times, i did a full wipe and only installed launcher pro, nothing else, the only 1 app i had on the phone was launcher pro and it still froze.
i just went to ADW launcher, i like it alot and you can resize widgets and stuff, very customisable..
2nd favourite is zeam, would be my number one but i couldnt figure out how to save the settings... theres a wide range of other launchers why not try something else ??
my LP does that as well on my vibrant. it really isn't that big of a deal, unless you repeatedly reboot your phone...
just wait a little while after your phone boots and just let everything load up
Yes, we can try another launcher, but launcherpro is best for me, because I want grid 5x6 icons. Go launcher is great as well, but there is max 5x5 :/

[Q] Losing desktop icons and wallpaper on reboot

Hi all,
I've read hundred of stickies, Q&A's, FAQ's, nd whatever, but I haven't found a similar problem. I's appreciate any help or hint.
When I reboot, many desktop icons (direct links) disappear. Also the wallpaper (I use Ownskin). Widgets and other settings seem to remain unaffected.
This doesn't happen to all icons: e.g, in the 4th desktop screen I have 16 game icons. When I reboot, 8 or 10 of them have disappeared.
I wonder if this is related to having moved some apps to the SD, as if they have somehow lost track of their confg files (sorry if this sounds dumb, newbie Android user).
I am extremely happy with my SGS, but this problem is getting really annoying.
Here's my data
GT-I9000
Official carrier (Spanish Movistar) Froyo.BGJP3 update
Baseband I9000BGJP2
Rooted and lagfixed, carrier bloatware removed.
TIA for your time!
same problem here.. every program i install to sd the icon is gone after reboot.. seems to be some kinda timing thing where when it builds the desktop the sd is in the middle of scanning for media or something.. running stock jpy 2.2.1 with bln kernel.. anyone else..
Your explanation is probably correct. However, I am curious as to why you still need app to SD despite having 2 gb of app space.
that is normal with most apps 2 sd
if you refresh it again, they will show up
dont really need apps to sd with 2 gig you are right.. but apps such as angry birds.. automatically install to sd (ie over 16 meg)..
allgamer. how do you refresh your desktop.. scanning media is not the same.
and it is a pain to manually add icons after every boot.
is this the problem in all froyo.. really needs to be fixed.. there needs to be some kinda delay say 2 minutes after boot before removing icons.. even if it has to show some generic icon till the app is avial.

Yes, that was it! I moved all apps back to memory, and everything is working fine again. You are right, there is no need to put them into the SD, with such an amount of available space. Anyway, I still think this is a bug in Froyo. If it has the option to put apps to SD, it should work correctly.
Thanks!

Replaced MicroSD, double apps?

Last night I switched my microsd card with another one in my captivate. While it was out, I noticed that some apps were missing. No problem. When I stuck the new microsd in(I had copied the contents over from the old one) certain apps now appear twice in the app drawer, such as Hex Defense, and Flight Frenzy. Has anyone else seen this, or better, knows how to fix this?

press down your home key it will bring you your task manager then press end all running active applications then open app drawer again and see.
or reboot the phone....
I tried both of those....no dice.
Odd, the problem seems to have solved itself...went in and updated all my apps and it went away.

[Q] Galaxy S i9000m rearranging apps not saving

hi
i apologize before hand with the nature of this question but its been bugging me for sometime now since i got the i9000m...
the issue:
every time power down (shut off) my i9000m, it seems to forget my rearranged settings on my app screen.. as in when i organize my apps to the way i want it and then shut my phone off it goes settings are all jumble and i have to rearrange my apps again... i dont get why its not saving even after pressing save after im done organizing my apps..
is there a fix to this?
my phone is rooted and running stock froyo from bell...
any help would be appreciated.. thanks
do you use the stock touchwiz launcher? i have the same issue but with go launcher.
Had same issue before.
Check if apps are installed on phone (not SD).
The SGS reads the SD card at startup and apps installed ther go to the end of each page in the app drawer.

App icon keeps disappearing!

Does anyone else have this issue? It started happening to me on JB stock LQ4 - I'd put the "sportstracker" app on my homescreen, and every now and again it would be deleted (its an app I use daily, so I notice it!).
I didn't think too much of it, but now I've installed LightJB and the CoCore E 6.0 I half expected this problem to have gone away - but it has happened again! It only seems to affect that one app, which is installed in just the same way that others are - not on the SD card, from the playstore etc etc.
Its more of a mild annoyance than anything else, but I have read of at least one other person experiencing it - any ideas where to look for a solution?
Cheers!

Go to settings, then applications, and tap on the app. Move it to phone storage, and then put the app back on your screen and restart. It should stay there. Seems a bit of a bug with touchwiz that if it is on sd card it is removed upon restart.
Yep, touchwizz have that bug.

I was just about to post to say that it wasn't on the SD card (because I haven't put it there!!), and then noticed that in apps it says "Move to device storage", so I guess it actually is on the SD card for some peculiar reason. Do the app developers get to specify where it is stored?
Anyway, thanks - I'll move it across and hopefully it'll "stick"!
Matt
Use Apex or other launcher and all will be fine.
