menu problem with s6500

Hello! I am not sure if i'm posting in the correct section but this is the only one for samsung galaxy mini 2, so i do.
I am facing a problem with my device. I go to menu, edit the icons, move them around as i would like them to be, then click save.
I go to home screen, then enter the menu, everything is fine, the icons are still the way i left them.
BUT when i turn of the phone and turn it on afterwards the icons have lost their arrangement i made to them.
Anyone else has the same problem?
I would really appreciate the help, cause I bought the phone like 9 days ago, on the 2nd day i gave it to vodafone (where i bought it from) for service, the description of the problem was very accurate, but today i got it back, the service description said "upgraded, the problem is over" but the problem still remains...
Thank you in advance!

Widgets don't update regularly on Nova Launcher

I'm using Nova Launcher with One More Clock as my Clock\Weather widget. I've noticed that the widget does not update the time regularly - i.e. it'll stop updating after some time and it seems to be fairly random. Once it stops, I have to refresh the widget in order for it to update again. I've tried a couple of other widgets and the behaviour is the same, so I'm pretty sure it's not the widget. I've also gone and ensured it is a protected app, but still the non-refresh behaviour continues.
Anyone have any suggestions or ideas? I don't see it with the stock widget on EMUI...

That happens with emui launcher too. All widgets which are not stock stop updating after a certain amount of time.

Works fine for me. Make sure the launcher and the apps are "protected" in the battery settings. If you want regular android behavior just hit protect all in that menu. This allows apps to keep running and update while the screen is off.
The battery saving options are turned on by default with this phone. Under settings/apps/advanced you can also allow apps to ignore battery optimizations.
If you are rooted you can also just freeze the phone manager and powergenie all together to get stuff to update etc (that's what I did)

I've done everything you mention except rooting the phone. I want a phone that works without rooting, so I guess the P9 isn't really suitable for me. Too bad, as the hardware and general design of the phone is really good, but EMUI really lets it down. Additionally, I'm not happy with the software update strategy for it either. I'm on build 134 for the P9(EVA-L09) and I've seen builds 136 & 152 in the wild for my device variant and geography, but there seems to be no update for my phone. And I have the green garbled images for a lot of the photos that I take, for which I've been waiting on a fix.

I had this issue on FutureRom which i guess waa based on l09.. reverted back to my L19 and the issues don't exist.. might be a buggy PhoneManager is to blame..

But why if you don't mind my asking? I've never used non rooted or non jailbroken phones. You get some nice additional features for free. Every company had phones with broken updates or other issues, if you wanna take things into your own hands and not be dependent on them, you know what to do
Wow that became quite the speech. Sorry :angel:

I'm on that rom and nova and my widgets work fine, not noticed any ones not updating. They are all protected as mentioned above though.

I did protect the apps, but it wasn't working on FutureRom..

Yea, same for me too..

Try to toggle the specific app in phone manager then go to app auto launch

No issues here - have Nova Prime too. Have you checked your settings in Default Applications to see if Nova has been selected?

There is an easy fix for that mrsim. Go into main phone Settings (not Nova), hit Advanced at bottom of screen, choose Default app settings, choose Launcher, choose Nova Launcher.

Any solution for custom widgets on EMUI ?
Edit: Trying Ignore optimization under settings - apps - advanced

Did not work. No matter what, downloaded widgets will not update on EMUI. Really bad!

Yeah, I've tried all options and nothing seems to work for the widgets I use. I think it may be time to replace the P9!

It's been working for 24 hours now updating every hour. Protected under battery settings + ignore battery optimizations under "Apps" wasn't enough, but when I also changed CPU from Smart to Performance it seems to be working. I also re-added the widget on the homescreen afterwards to make sure settings worked.

what should I do on kitkat?

Wallpaper changing after restart

Hello people, yesterday I received my Mi 9t Pro and so far I'm quite happy with it. One problem I'm facing is the following: I'm using pixel 3 live wallpapers via Google background app and whenever I restart the phone the lockscreen wallpaper is going back to the stock one. Home screen stays the correct one.
Is anyone facing similar issues or has any idea how to solve this?
Edit: sorry for wrong topic! Thanks to the mods for moving it!

Hey, I had exactly the same problem and I read a solution somewhere that actually worked for me :
Go into settings / manage apps then look for "wallpaper carousel" or something like that and uninstall it.
And that's it, hope it works for you.

Thank you for the answer. I can not find anything similar to wallpaper carousel in my app selection... I might have removed this already with debloating I think!

Not in my indian variant .. but some themes will cause such errors ..
Please goto stock theme.. and check it back
Note : don't uninstall themes ?

Then I remember reading a few times that there is a problem sometimes with MIUI and third party app managing lockscreens.
Have you tried to set it up via the miui gallery app instead of Google app ?

I'm not sure, you could try with a factory reset and see if that fixes the issue. I don't have it since I updated to c27, I think.

To go back to older firmware just root your device ,install twrp and flash older stock rom. You won't face such issue in realme ui c24

Did any of you guys try a factory reset? Since not all of us have those issue, it's most likely gonna help.

your works fine with third party launcher?

I guess this is Android 10 gesture issue...

REPLY FROM NOVA LAUNCHER DEV :-
Hello,
If you are having issues with Nova staying as your default launcher, try this: Reboot your device. Or you can try Phone Settings -> Apps -> Default Apps -> Home App -> Nova Launcher. If that doesn't work, read below as it's been a known issue for well over a year now.
PLEASE READ THIS RESPONSE IN FULL!
The things mentioned below are still present with the release of Android 11 on September 8th, 2020. Google has made it very clear that they have no plans to completely fix these issues any time in the near or even distant feature.
You can read Google's official statement and our statement about the issues you and anyone else using Android 10 and Android 11 are experiencing. Please take note that Google admits to this being broken on their end of things and that a fix will be coming in a future update to Android(Stated March 2019.).
However, it's now well over a year later and there are still many issues with full system gestures and 3rd party launchers on both Android and Android 11. These issues will remain for the foreseeable future as Google has no plans to completely fix their full system gestures.
This includes things such as the CLOSE ALL/CLEAR ALL button not showing up when you access the Recent Apps screen. As well as a delay of being able to tap on app icons when returning to the home screen from another app, from viewing the Recent Apps screen or anything similar.
Please understand, there is absolutely NOTHING WE CAN DO TO FIX OR CHANGE THIS IN ANY WAY! Contact Google or your device OEM directly with these issues as contacting any launcher developer isn't the correct thing to do and isn't going to accomplish anything.
SAMSUNG USERS: Samsung has enabled full system gestures to be enabled within 3rd party launchers with their One UI 2.5 update. This means you can enable those gestures, but things are still very broken, especially when it comes to animations and how smooth the gestures work. This is NOT something Nova, or any other 3rd party launcher can fix. Only Google can fix it

I think that's bull****, but okay. Android is open source and Realme has their own kernel, they can certainly fix some things but they don't want to.

Why every launcher other than stock lag on this device?

I've been using Realme X2 pro CN varient from past year but still i couldn't figure why every single 3rd party launcher lag when returning to home screen? I've tried lawnchair, Nova almost every launcher i could get my hands on, But problem persist. There're no delay when i return to home screen from any app in stock launcher but other launcher gives a solid 1-1.5s delay. I've tried giving it background process access, Performance mode on but nothing worked. I guess it's a ROM problem. Anyone else facing similar issue? I don't want to unlock bootloader or root my device as of now.
Would love if anyone could help.
