I've found this as well, looking at the user widgets xml file, /data/system/users/0/appwidgets.xml and I was seeing all kinds of widgets I never even USE in it, like TuneIn.

I don't use HD Widgets (sorry ;) ) but I also don't use Tune In, so I removed that app from my N7 since it was in the list for no reason and I decided that can't be good.. I then removed all widgets on my homescreen and rebooted, looked at my appwidgets file again, it was 'empty', re-added my widgets and all seems to be good for me.

My problem hasn't been reboots as much as my widgets getting scrambled every reboot.
[Nexus 7 General] harlz:
No random reboots here. Restored 4.2 with factory image from Google then unlocked and rooted. Everything is great.
[Nexus 7 General] Maverick1707:
What's that work-around? I don't find that thing to delete ghost widgets? anyone can help?
[Nexus 7 General] altimax98:
I have a Deodex'd build of 4.2 and been running strong with not a single reboot.. I use lock screen widgets a lot, primarily Falcon and stock Gmail.. I also have two users both of which have lock screen widgets.

Here's my up time :)
[Nexus 7 General] AndreaCristiano:
Just happened for the first time to me. Any fixes or batch issues /swap
[Nexus 7 General] gbroon:
I flashed the stock 4.2 image and had no reboots for the best part of a week till today when it has restarted twice.

Not rooted, HD widgets is installed but no problem till today.

Only updated apps today were nexus stock checker and unified remote full (which added 4.2 support with lock screen widgets, not added any to lock screen).
[Nexus 7 General] Maverick1707:
Finally uninstalled HD Widgets and not a single reboot in 2 days. Also I noticed a significant decrease in battery drain.

With HDW i noticed that Google Servicies consumed around 12-14% of battery in a battery cycle, now without HDW, Google Services doesn't even appear in the list of applications in the battery section.

Respect to the HDW developer for coming here and offer information about it. I will personally install HDW back as soon as google fixes the ghost widget bug. Great app!!
[Nexus 7 General] perthtrev:
Haven't seen a random reboot for 2 days now since removing HD widgets. Was getting up to 4 a day (that I would see) before, thanks for the suggestion.
[Nexus 7 General] DrEzkimo:
exactly the same here :)
[Nexus 7 General] revmra:
I haven't had a reboot in the 3+ days since I uninstalled it. I think I might try reinstalling it and not using a lock screen widget and see what happens. I really miss HD Widgets.
[Nexus 7 General] Maverick1707:
Don't forget to tell us if you remain reboot-free after installing HDW without lockscreen widgets. :)
[Nexus 7 General] reidar.ostrem:
I never used the lock screen widgets, just home screen. Had upto 2-3 reboots a day, after un install I haven't had one in 4 days.. It's not just when using lock screen widgets

Edit: using nova launcher, could the combo be the cause?
[Nexus 7 General] DominatingSystem:
Since I uninstalled HDWidget I don't get a reboot. (4 days now)

I use the stock launcher.

So, yesterday I give it a try and installed again...

Without lock screen or home screen widgets!!!

And the end of the story, 3 reboots in 5 hours...

HDWidget and Google 4.2 can't be friends...

[Nexus 7 General] sparksd:
Strange. I'm on stock 4.2 & stock launcher and use HD Widgets with a widget displayed on 2 of my screens and have not had a reboot problem. I don't use a lock screen.
[Nexus 7 General] emylia777:
Try having that widget on the locksreen and see how ur N7 reacts and do update us. Like the HD Widgets rep said, it might be caused by a bug of that lockscreen widget feature by Google and not them. but somehow their app is the one that causes most N7 users here have this random reboot.

I on the other hand, share the same results as most users here, after uninstalling the HD Widgets (rebooted by itself even when uninstalling :eek:), now my N7 runs great and no more random reboot. So I'll just have to live temporarily without that widget till Google fix that bug.
[Nexus 7 General] kyo171:
i am attest to the fact that i also have not experienced any more reboots after uninstalling HDW. i also encountered reboot while uninstalling HDW, i think it is indeed a bug in google's lockscreen widget framework as i had HDW as a lockscreen widget while i was uninstalling it. I purchased HDW btw and i like it, so i think i will install HDW back after google patches this problem. Props given to HDW developers for reaching out to the community and giving us some of explanation.
[Nexus 7 General] AraDreamer:
Four days since factory reset, HDW still installed, still no reboots. And I have HDW for my lock screen (clock and toggles). It's the ghost thing, so I set my lock screen once and never touch it. -Ara
[Nexus 7 General] Tondern:
I'm not getting any reboots anymore after resetting my phone and not installing HDWidgets but I still get these random switches to the homescreen. If I play a game or use play store it just jumps to homescreen. I can still switch back to the app it's stored in the momory but it's like the app has been reset, like it's being loaded anew. Very frustrating.
[Nexus 7 General] fastredponycar:
I've had a few reboots but not doing anything in particular. once when I stated playing Riptide GP, another when pulling up a chrome link from my Gmail app.

I did the remove HD widgets from lock screen procedure that the HD widget developer said and I still got a reboot this morning.

I only had 4.1 for a couple of days and I still had a random reboot with that so in my own experience, it's not a 4.2 problem.
[Nexus 7 General] DominatingSystem:
Meanwhile I think... It's not a bug... It's a feature :D

[Nexus 7 General] AndreaCristiano:
Weird mine hasn't done it in days ( prays)
[Nexus 7 General] dalanik:
I never had HD widget installed :) It was ok for several days, only rebooted once. Then it started force closing apps. The apps would just CLOSE without any message! Yesterday it started rebooting often. Once it even displayed some weird white lines and rebooted. Couple of times it wouldn't boot (just nexus logo animation showing). I reset, nothing. Still rebooting during downloading of apps from store.Restet once again, acting weird, rebooted a couple of times. Left it to charge overnight and now it's OK. It installed all the apps and works (for the time being). I wish I never updated to 4.2, what a mistake to make... :) 4.1.2 was rock solid. I just hope it's not the hardware problem, because warranty here in the EU is f*cking unbelievable, by law they have ONE MONTH for warranty repair... (happened to me with my phone! Took them like 4 weeks to have it repaired)....

Edit: whole day today and no reboot...
[Nexus 7 General] revmra:
Well, I got a reboot a little less than an hour ago while the device was sleeping. I only noticed it because I had some Astrid notifications that suddenly were gone. This was after installing HDW without using lockscreen widgets (other than the default Android 4.2 clock). The crash in ActivityManager didn't seem to have anything to do with HDW, though. Here's the logcat:

The previous thing in the log was something that happened 4 minutes before that. FWIW, my Nexus 7 did not reboot either when initially installing or uninstalling HDW this time.
[Nexus 7 General] mroczek47:
I have random reboots too 2-4 times per day. Sometimes it reboots when i use it, but sometimes when it is in standby mode so it's totally random ;)
[Nexus 7 General] fastredponycar:
I guess I spoke too soon on my reboots. I had like 4 yesterday. totally unacceptable. I installed bugless beast rom which rolled it back to 4.1.2.

I've been on it all day today with zero reboots. Fingers crossed.
[Nexus 7 General] A.VOID:
No reboots for 4 days since uninstall of hdw
[Nexus 7 General] revmra:
Well, I got the 4.2.1 OTA. Time to reinstall HDW and see if it reboots.
[Nexus 7 General] emylia777:
Update us of the outcome too. Hopefully that tiny in size OTA update could fix the lockscreen widget bug, not just the December bug. :D
[Nexus 7 General] demosthen3s:
This reboot problem was not fixed for me with 4.2.1. If anything it is now worse. I've had 3 random reboots in an hour.
[Nexus 7 General] ondoy1943:
Idk what you guys did with your devices, but mine which is 16gb wifi, stock rom, rooted, cwm recovery, no system software patches except for the 720p video rec mod, has not experienced any random reboot since 4.2. With the 4.2.1 running good, not even a whimper or hiccup seen. Bluetooth audio streaming no problem at all, never missed a beat. Hope it stays this way, (knock on wood)....;)
[Nexus 7 General] demosthen3s:
Yeah I don't know what I did with either. Mine is stock, unrooted and not modified in any way.
[Nexus 7 General] volpe_astuta:
no reboot for 5 days!
[Nexus 7 General] anthonycr:
The only thing I use Bluetooth for is tablet talk. Tablet talk disconnects occasionally, so we'll see if it disconnects with the 4.2.1 update, which supposedly fixes Bluetooth problems.
[Nexus 7 General] AndreaCristiano:
Ever since I did a forever gone clean and unchecked the Google currents no reboots etc for days. All good :)

sent from my Nexus 7 while my SGS3 rests!
[Nexus 7 General] khaytsus:
I don't think there's enough logcat there, do you have more? It'd be good to have some context, and perhaps might be able to see which app is being referred to by the dalvik crash.
[Nexus 7 General] BobMiles:
A HDW guy told me it's a problem with Googles location service.

And I see a lot of that in your log, so this might be true. However he also said this bug is a confirmed Google bug, so probably they are working on a solution...

i had one reboot just doing nothing, the good thing is that it didnt ask me for the pin number

4.2.1
[Nexus 7 General] khaytsus:
Hmmm, nothing I can see that's specific to one thing, but grep for "activitymanager" to narrow those down and..

So maybe related to Media or Picasa Sync? Looks like maybe Gallery is doing some sort of refresh? Maybe disable Picasa sync?

I'm back to stock. I was getting random reboots a couple times a day. I'm running 4.2.1. We'll see how this works out.

I just experienced my first random reboot. I hope this was the first and last random reboot cuz I love this device and brag about it to all my friends and colleagues. I was just listening to music using Google Music application.

FYI: My Nexus 7 is stock
[Nexus 7 General] revmra:
Yeah, I saw this Google bug report where someone did some digging and it seems to by tied to the location stuff. That would make sense, then, that HDW would trigger this frequently. It would also explain the slew of GPS-related messages I had in my logcat.

http://code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=40140

I'll try reinstalling HDW, but disabling all the location stuff and see if that does the trick.

[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] guyvergr:
Hi all!

I noticed tha on cm10 rom there is poor graphic quality and scrolling...

As for example on the resurection remix rom (wich rocks) the scrolling on the Xda app is laggy, on the other hand on the Ultima Rom (which i am dual booting) the scrolling on the xda app is smooth.

I also noticed that the wallpaper quality is poor on cm10.

Has anyone any knowledge of this? Should i Install any Driver (like clainfire 3d maybe) ? because i realy like cm10 roms moreee...:P

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] xtraspecialj:
I am completely stock and I have never rooted my phone or done anything other than use Go Launcher Ex up until a month ago. I recently discovered that I don't have to use the TWLauncher but that I can in fact use the regular Launcher on my Epic 4g Touch. So I uninstalled Go Launcher and started using the regular launcher (I'm on FI27 by the way).

The problem is all of my widgets dissapear off of my home screen after each and every reboot (and yes, I wait for Media scanning to complete. Still nothing). This is true for stock widgets and 3rd party widgets. The only issue I've found like this in my Google searches are people that had their apps/widgets moved to their SD card. Mine are not. I'm completely stumped. I really don't want to use the TW launcher and as much as I like the flexibility of Go Launcher EX I really really like the smoothnes and simplicity of the standard launcher and would hate to have to go back either of the other ones.

Any ideas would be greatly appreciated. I don't want to do a wipe simply because I am really lazy and don't want to have to reinstall my apps again, but if you think that is necassary please recommend the best way to make the app download and reinstallation as quick as possible for my lazy behind.

Thanks!
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] someguyatx:
App Backup & Restore from play store will backup the apps but not data. There are similar apps for backing up sms and call logs too.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] xtraspecialj:
So I'm guessing from your reply that you either A: Have not heard of this issue and therefore do not know of a fix or B: You have heard of it and the fix is to restore my device.

I'll give it another day or two to see if anyone else has come across this and found a fix but I guess I'm gonna have to try a wipe. I just hope that works.

Thank you for your suggestions sir and I will start researching further to try and make my restore as fast as possible.

since updating my adobe apps I've started gettting irritating junk notifications, not email or text, in the form of a star on the notifications bar.

i have checked running apps etc... but cannot see how to stop these pests.

anyone know how i turn it off?

thanks

[HTC Sensation] realsis:
Hi yes, try ad blocker, or ad away, both apps are designed to stop those ads. I use ad away, it works good. Or you can find out which app is the cause and delete it. But if you don't know , use the ad blocking app. It's easy to use and works well. Hope this is helpful. Best wishes
[HTC Sensation] rawrfische:
It sounds like you're describing airpush ads coming from some free app or game. Get Airpush Detector or another similar app off the Play store to find the culprit and uninstall it.
[HTC Sensation] dcorran:
thanks guys.

traced it to 'flash open view' or something like that.

had reinstalled my apps and must have put this on by mistake instad of flash 11

now sorted

Now a days so many Samsung mobile handsets are available in the market. Samsung Android phones is my first preference.

Ive always wanted a macbook, i just moved to germany so i have no computer and next year, in march i will go to a graphic design school, so now its the time to buy one, but these macbooks pro are so damn expensive, the 15 inch model costs 2.279,00 € but it only comes with 256 gb that's a joke to me and even a greater joke its that for a upgrade to a 512 gb ssd they charge 500 € ! a 512 sdd disk on amazon is usually 350 € !

Also do you think i will be fine with 8 gb of ram or i should pay extra 200 € and get the 16 gb of ram?

Have any of you actually used one of apples financing deals? i cant afford to spend almost 3000 € at once, since my german is very bad i cannot fully understand their conditions , how do they work? 24 months to pay+ 7.99% of interest+ ?? this is what google translate came up with lol "Example conditions

€ 1,000 Net loan amount monthly. Installment amount € 45.10, 7.99% APR, 24-month term, 5.28% bound borrowing rate plus 25, - € processing fee, total € 1,082.40. Subject to availability. The figures are at once the 2/3 sample in accordance with § 6 para 3 PAngV represents credit Agencies are alone for Credit Plus Bank,"

Also i could gather the money so that i dont have to pay with financing but do they have special discounts for students?

Right now my choices are:

a) 15": 2,3 GHz + 8 gb of ram + 512 gb disk for 2.779,01 €

b) 15": 2,3 GHz + 16 gb of ram + 512 gb disk for 2.979,01 €

c) 15": 2,6 GHz + 8 gb of ram + 512 gb disk for 2.899,00 €

d) 15": 2,6 GHz + 16 gb of ram + 512 gb disk for 3.099,00 €

Thanks for your help and keep in my mind that this would be my computer for at least 2, very likely 3 years!
