[Asus Transformer TF700] Mykew:
Thanks for the link mate. Seems to be every launcher (even stock) is buggy now since .30 update. The icons all disappear and get stuck with a blank screen. Factory wipe, format SD and all. I'm normally not one to winge, but this tablet is really starting to give me the sh!ts.
[Asus Transformer TF700] Svashtar:
Did you maybe go and read comments on Play Store. I don't think so.

EVERY user has problems. This is not Infinity, .30 update, or anything related problem.

It is just a bad update of the Apex itself, so just hang tight and wait for a fix.
[Asus Transformer TF700] Mykew:
Mate, as I said ... in the post above yours ... this phenomenon (all icons disappearing) is occurring across all launchers for me now. Even stock, and after a factory wipe. I have invested a few hours troubleshooting and researching this frustrating bug.

It will be very welcome if the next update fixes the stalling on Apex, but I'd be extremely surprised if it fixed faults in other apps.
[Asus Transformer TF700] Svashtar:
Sorry, my bad :)

Have you tried cold boot?
[Asus Transformer TF700] bckldwn:
I'm on .30 and mines keeps crashing as well. Waiting for the dev to fix it :)
[Asus Transformer TF700] Mykew:
No worries :) Yup, tried cold boot, factory wipe, reinstalling both stock .30 and then Zeus 4 after it showed up on stock. However, when I reinstall, my apps(170) get pushed from play. So it may be an app I didn't freeze when I was troubleshooting. The only thing I can think of to do now is reinstall, and add apps one at a time. Could take a while, because I think sometimes the bug only comes out after tab has gone into deep sleep. Sigh. I do really like this tab most of the time, but I couldn't recommend it to someone who didn't like playing with tech.
[Asus Transformer TF700] Svashtar:
Well, that's the main difference between Apple iOS and Android. For Android you need brains, for iOS not really :)

Joke aside, i had major problems with waking my tab from sleep (1 in 10 times i locked it i had to hard boot it to "wake up"), but after the update it has never happened again. I have also not faced any of the problems people are reporting. Weird.

This is something I will never understand about HW/SW ... how can thing works for some and not for others.

Well, yeah, there are user modifications and stuff like that, but still...

I think step by step approach to installing apps is a way to go, because if all the launchers are behaving strangely, than for sure there is something SW related and it seems like one of the apps is playing a dirty game there.

Good luck!

Beta worked for me too, thanks SoulSmasher. HTC Desire S - stock ICS
[Asus Transformer TF700] Svashtar:
Question: will beta release overwrite the stable one? What does that mean for further stable releases? Will I have to uninstall beta version and install stable one. I generally don't want to be on beta release, but it is a workaround.

Thx
[Asus Transformer TF700] Mykew:
Yep, it overwrites the stable one. But it gives you the option, and notification to update to the latest model. Only downside is if you have OCD (like most of us who tweak) ignoring the notification to update might bother you after a while ;)
[Asus Transformer TF700] gildedtiger:
Thanks!!

Yup, this worked perfectly for me too! Thanks!

Had this problem on my Razr this morning when I woke up. Uninstalled on both infinity and Razr and installed Nova. No problems so far.
[Asus Transformer TF700] jtrosky:
FYI - They've already released a new version that fixes the force closes... Problem is (at least for me), the app drawer is now *way* slower (to open initially and once it is open)...

I've reverted back to the last stable version for now - it performs much better (at least in the app drawer).
[Asus Transformer TF700] Mykew:
Well, after alot of mucking around it was Aldiko Reader that was causing stalls on the launchers...No idea how. Change to Moon reader has sorted it out. Still on beta Apex though. Troubleshooting can be a bit painful with the errors being so random.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] bar_rodoy:
Well... Its obious firmware has differents and they work with different technology , but what is the phisical different?

Why cant a CDMA version case fit to the GSM?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] StealthTH:
CDMA have dual radios with LTE. CDMA models are a bit thicker then the GSM counterparts. I'm not 100% sure but it may be due to the multiple radios
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] martonikaj:
CDMA is a touch thicker.

Simply look at photos of the phones with the battery doors removed and you'll see why the housings aren't interchangeable. They're laid out differently inside. Even the batteries are different shapes and capacities (1850mAh / 1750mAh).
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] strumcat:
Don't install the new Apex Launcher update until you've read the long list of reviews posted on the Playstore. *Everyone* is having FC issues. I hope this excellent launcher gets fixed soon.

It seems that the beta version of 1.3 (not available on the Playstore) was working fine for everyone, but the release version is apparently seriously broken. So until it's repaired, which will probably be soon, it's best to take a pass on the update.

Edit: See message #6 for a link to the working beta if you need it. (Thank you, jaidenwarren). The beta does work with the Pro license if you have it.

Edit 2: Reviews are now saying that the FC problem has been fixed.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] builtboosted:
Thanks for the heads up. But I recommend everyone uses beta version. Never any issues with them.

Yep, took down both Nexus phones here, one running JB and one running ICS. Luckily I had a backup on my JB one, my partner's phone wasn't so lucky.

Well, I'm sure the Apex developer has woken up to a nightmare scenario this morning. I'm a little surprised that the Playstore page hasn't at least reverted to the old version until the new one is fixed. Must have his hands full at the moment.

If, like me, you have Apex set up as the default launcher and stock launcher removed, the update can sort of soft-brick your phone. I had to restore a nandroid to get my phone back, like some others.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] zephiK:
You can adb push a launcher into /system/app/ and it'll ask you what launcher you want to use.

You can adb push a launcher into /system/app/ and it'll ask you what launcher you want to use.

And the version pushed out to the Play Store is newer than beta6.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Lesicnik1:
That is why you always read the comments before updating an app :)

(unless you have auto-update enabled)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] jaidenwarren:
I know the version pushed to the store is newer than beta, but it is the latest beta seeing how the play store pushed a stable version. Correct?

Worked fine for me after i uninstall apex and installing it again unchecking auto update .pain in the ass to re-do your settings though
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] slinky1914:
I did a reboot and it works fine for me.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] strumcat:
Just checked and apparently the broken Apex update has been fixed. At least that's what the reviews are saying now. Haven't tested it personally. Incidentally, it now wants more permissions (read call log).

Take a look at the one-star-review bar on the Apex Playstore page. It jumped from nearly invisible to very substantial overnight! Every dev's nightmare.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] dirtygoldfish:
I can confirm that the latest version in the Play Store is now working.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] crixley:
it's been fixed and is now smoother than ever!

OK, thanks, guys.

That was pretty fast work by the Apex dev(s). About 12 hours from broken to fixed. Not bad.

[General Questions and Answers] blindskater39:
Please help! I am trying to figure out which of these portable batteries is going to be stronger.. one that outputs 5W or 5V? I tried to google an answer and conversion but they need a variable of how many amps to convert which I have no idea...

I just ordered a portable battery from ebay, (http://www.ebay.com/itm/2600mAh-Uni...891701?pt=PDA_Accessories&hash=item2c67137df5) one of these kinds that have an output of 5V. This little cheapo is not putting out nearly enough power to charge my android so I was thinking to get one my friend has its called an Igo battery http://www.igo.com/invt/ps002730001 that has a output of 5W
[General Questions and Answers] universeman:
According to the info from the two product pages, they have exactly the same wattage and voltage. However, the eBay item has a higher mAh (2600mAh vs 1800mAh), which is a measure of how much power it can deliver in total.

The math I used is that standard USB power is 5V, so both battery packs would output 5V. The math for calculating Watts is simply: Amps x Voltage = Watts.

Ebay Battery

Rated at 1000mA. So 1A x 5V = 5W

iGo Battery

Rated at 5W. So 5W / 5V = 1A

mA = milliAmps or how much pwer it delivers.

A = 1000 milliAmps

mAh = milliAmphours or how long it can deliver power

Watt = a standard unit which relates the rate of energy transfer

[Samsung Infuse 4G] reactorcooler:
I noticed that after a while of flashing the text edge of my Jelly bean rom would be jagged. We know generally Infuse 4G have jagged text issue and it can be fixed by Voodoo Screen Tuner(an old app). However, this is severe and even after Voodoo screen to fix it, it still bugs my eyes. It's very annoying. Also I noticed after a clean wiping /data, it would be fixed.

And under /data I further discovered that deleting /data/data would solve the issue for a while. So the problem probably is from some files /data/data

Are there any solution for it? :confused: I was on scott's CM10 9/14 build. I haven't get information for my current 9/23 yet since I just flashed it.

Thanks
[Samsung Infuse 4G] wolfmatters:
I'm on JellyBean 4.1.1 ParanoidAndroid 2.15 and found an adjustment that seems to fix the jagged edges we were able to fix with Voodoo. I'm too much of a noob to know if this setting is available on all JB builds but I was nonetheless happy to find this. This is where I found it:

Settings\Advanced\Screen\Scenario. I found that the CAMERA setting works the best to clear up the jaggedness. Good luck.

[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] HoundDK:
Coming from HTC this Sammy stuff works a bit different so I need a bit of help.

I've been reading up on root and it seems like there are quite a few ways to root, but I'm unsure which one is the best. SAMSUNG GALAXY S3 TOOLKIT V5.0, CF-root and Odin Flash+Root Guide looks usable but since I want to be able to flash any ROM/Kernel/Radio I guess CF-Root is out of the question. I'm leaning towards the Toolking V5.0 since it offers vital backup functionality, but your thoughts will be highly appreciated.

Should I root before or after upgrading to official JB? I guess there will be a rooted official JB ROM shortly, so before seems the way to go?

Getting back to stock is vital for me since my S3 is a company phone. As I understand it I just need to run Triangle Away to reset the counter, and then flash an official ROM through KIES. That is, right?

Sorry for being such a noob here - your thought and advise will be highly appreciated! :)

I remember having a notepad widget on an ASUS transformer tablet (at least I believe that was it) that I liked. It was a widget that you could handwrite notes on the homepage and flip through them and back again.

Anyone know of similar apps?

restore old version

I didnt realize that the app had updated and unistalled it (as I have a backup of my apex settings and desktop). Reinstalling it gave me the same broken updated version without the ability to remove the update, so I used titanium backup pro to restore the app and data from 4 days ago and it worked perfectly.

Any ideas on how to fix it? Hopefully I dont need to wipe and reflash....
[HTC Rezound] LOBBS:
If you have access to a PC and WiFi you can try to push the new file through Chrome to phone. Worked for me to get Nova installed when Apex crashed. Install the Chrome to phone add on, go to the Play store from your PC, download the new Apex launcher and select the Chrome to phone icon. It should load on your phone fairly quickly. If that doesnt work push Nova the same way to get your phone stable then reinstall Apex.
[HTC Rezound] loki993:
Awesome that worked thanks. There had to have been something wrong with the old one anyway because when I would try to go to the play store on the phone to update the old one it would say it was up to date even though Apex was telling me to update and the phone claimed to have 1.2.5
