[Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A] r9800pro:
Have the same issue and I found this thread while searching for the issue.

I really don't understand what Google is doing here. It seems Google is too busy collecting money and leave testing to us (users).

How can they update a piece of software made by them (Google Search) and release it without even testing it on AT LEAST its own Nexus tablets ?!

It is not a hidden bug that affects "some" users, it is broken by design and one small "eye" test would reveal it.

I've really had enough with all the crap Google is doing from breaking ActiveSync for iOS devices to Youtube mess up and how crappy and cheaply made their devices are.
[Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A] habnzrot:
You're right, there's no more google search bar overlap when tab in landscape mode?
[Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A] xranix:
I've read that clearing google search data would improve (maybe fix?) the issue.

Attention that you (happened to me) loose all your "desktop" icon and have to re-enable google now.

I'll see if it fix. Too lazy to reboot now.

Edit: you loose all the other screens too.

Tablet support? if you use a tablet you have to switch to the phablet mode (tool is here - tablet mode was removed in Android 4.4.)

The overlapping problem was only in "phone mode" which is not perfect for tablets.

i've expanded the old an new apk and both versions have resources for mdli,hdpi,xdpii and xxdpi.

Sorry, it's a bug by design and affects not only Nexus devices.

[Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A] thetechaddict10:
Got so sick of that terrible 5x5 grid and losing my 6th app in my quick launch bar that I decided to revert back to Google Search version 3.1.8.x. I can at least deal with the search bar overlap until Google fixes their mess. Oddly enough, however, I found that somewhere the tablet cached my homescreen layout before the Google Search update that broke the homescreen. My old 6x6 layout sans widgets was just as I had left it. Weird.
[Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A] nogm:
yep

yup that's what it is, didnt have this problem until i updated google search

anyone got the last apk? ( the one before the most recent update)

For real tho, Google should just update Search again with a fix! Lol...just saying.
[Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A] jhannbernas:
Hi Guys,

This might help. I saw there is an update also for GEL. Try to install the GEL update from the link below and update also the google search (if you reverted back to old version). Also there is a download link on the thread for the previous version of google search (just before the latest one) if you still encounter some issues.

Thanks!
[Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A] Jleeblanch:
I tried using the updated Google Home app with the updated Search but it still produces same issues unfortunately. Had my fingers crossed, but oh well. Eventually Google will update Search again to fix their mistake.

Regardless, figured I'd let people know, using the updated GEL (GoogleHome.apk) doesn't fix the issues. Yes, I know mainly its Google Search but for those that were curious, here is your answer ;)
[Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A] insang-droid:
Same issues here. Also app icon dropping while moving to another home screen. This f'ing tablet is plagued with bugs and problems. Touch problem, Verizon not certifying it, software GUI issues. This **** is going on ebay as soon as I get back home from my trip.
[Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A] jhannbernas:
The only fix today is to uninstall the updates for google search. hopefully, google will fix the issue in the near future.
[Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A] drelite08:
Correct. Dropping back Google search does fix the bug. As above, hopefully Google will fix it soon.

Hi there, sorry but I am a bit of a newbie and I don't really know how to deal with this. I am having this happen on my Nexus 4 after installing Paranoid Android (was running stock for a while and CM 11 before that with no problems at all)...how do I revert my search app to avoid the screen resets? Thanks!
[Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A] jhannbernas:
just go to settings > applications and look for google search then unintall updates. But from what I know today, you use the most updated google search and update also the Google Now Launcher which is also available now on the PlayStore.

Google Now Launcher:

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.google.android.launcher&hl=en

Google Search:

Do you mean that since the latest update, the issue is fixed? I still had this problem on my Nexus 4 yesterday :(.
[Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A] jhannbernas:
try to install the latest google now and search. then try to clear cache both application if possible. then and setup again your homescreens.
[Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A] Downloaded7:
Tried this a few days ago and I still have problems. Should I wipe App data too? It's really frustrating and makes the launcher almost unusable.

I have installed TomTom 5 on my SD card, all working well.

I have one irritating problem however, whenever I remove and then reinstall my SD card, it automatically launches tomtom.

I've tried to stop the auto starting with the usual registry entries for START, etc, however nothing seems to work.

Does anyone know how to stop the SD card autolaunching this app?
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] findus:
The problem is caused by the folder 2577 on your Storage Card. IF you delete the Tomtom cabs from this folder it will stop happening. Alternatively you could rename the 2577 folder in case you need to install the software agin away from your computer.

HTH

[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] Melty:
Is there an app in the root of the SD card called start.exe? Also, when you insert an SD card it will automatically run stuff which is present in the "2577" directory if it exists. This is responsible for installing the app initially. Try renaming 2577 to something else and see if it still happens. If it does, try renaming the start app.

Think it's something to do with BusyBox and how it installs, is it fixable without a total wipe?

Had the same issue with the OTA upgrade to 4.4 (had to do a total wipe and lost a lot of files on the virtual SDcard as a result).
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gbarayah:
Not sure if it is busybox causing your issue or not. What the error means is that something in your system is not as it should be. Did you remove or modify any system apps?

You can have root and a custom recovery, but you must be TOTALLY stock in order for the OTA to work.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] s0litaire:
*slap my head and call me stupid*

Just remembered I installed the exposed framework.

That's what's causing the problem. Uninstalled and the ota ran fine.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RootTheMachine:
Yep, I did the same thing. It's even worse when you notice it clearly says "app_process" in the Xposed installer.

E:Error in tmp/update.zip

what should i do?
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RootTheMachine:
Did you read this thread? It clearly explains in several posts above. You need to uninstall Xposed framework.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] buysellonline:
Same problem but a little different

So I am trying to upgrade to 4.4.3 and having the same issue however i cannot uninstall Xposed. The xposed uninstaller does not find process_app.orig to uninstall/resotre the original file. Where can I get this original file. Any suggestion on what to do next?
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Agosh13:
Have you installed xposed right? You have to open Xposed App and tap to "Install/Update" then "Uninstall". Remember to remove also all modules.

You should remove also ROOT files, just open SuperSU and uninstall it from SuperSU settings.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] buysellonline:
- Yes, I have installed xposed correctly and have been using it for months.

- Yes, I have deleted all modules from within xposed prior to attempting to uninstall.

- Yes, I have used xposed to do the uninstall - it fails, to restore the process_app.

- Uninstalling from any other app will not restore the original process_app file.

I need to push the file to my phone manually but I do not where I can get it from and unfortunately xposed did not make a copy of it for some odd reason. So here you have it. I guess if I cannot locate the file, my only option to fastboot a full version of the 4.4.3 losing everything on the phone. I know how to do that, I hope :)
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dpasut:
I can't believe I didn't think of that... I'm glad I'm not the only one that's done this though!
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] os2baba:
I have the same problem. There is no app_process.orig file in the /system/bin directory. Does anyone have an original 4.4.2 app_process file for the Nexus 10?

This link shows how to use the full image without losing your data. I haven't tried it myself and would have preferred to just use the OTA image instead. But I may end up having to fall back on that approach.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Garock:
Hi, been trying to update OTA with no success here. No idea if it's the same issue with app_process but here's what I've done

- Device status: Custom, so installed xposed framework, installed wanam, tick Fake system status and Device status changed to Official

- Choose System Update, and it's working fine up till this point

- Install the update and update will failed since wanam is still enabled (and it deletes the update file, so next time I want to OTA I have to redownload all 600 megs again :eek:)

- Now I tried to disable wanam and uninstall xposed (because I don't think I should uninstall xposed without disabling wanam first), however whenever I disabled wanam Device status will then reverted to Custom, preventing the install even if the update has been successfully downloaded (and yes, it deletes the update file again)

So any idea how to do it correctly then? Thanks
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jd1639:
First off, next time you get the ota go into /cache and copy the zip file somewhere else so you don't have to download it again. You need to uninstall xposed from within the app
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Garock:
Yep, tried that as well. However even if I copied update.zip back to /cache/fota, software update still redownload the whole thing again

And yeah, I uninstalled xposed from the app

Question, in my previous post, after each steps (disable wanam, uninstall xposed) I always rebooted to apply the changes and device status reverted back to Custom after I disabled wanam and then reboot. Should I uninstall xposed without rebooting first?

I mean should it be like disable wanam (no reboot) then uninstall xposed (again no reboot) and straight to do software update?

Thanks for the reply though

Edit:

Okay, tried this.

Disable wanam (no reboot) so Device status still at Official. Then uninstall xposed (no reboot), app_process has also reverted to original. Last temporary disable root using Voodoo OTA Rootkeeper. But still software update failed

Any idea what other things causing software update refuse to updating?

I did however modify /system/csc/feature.xml, does it matter?

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] coyttl:
Starting about .. oh, 3 or 4 months ago, I've noticed my phone dropping data, OR, getting stuck on 'E' or 'G' symbols, even in areas that have LTE. Every time I notice this, I go into APN Settings, and I find that the selected APN has changed. (Usually from 'T-Mobile US LTE' to just 'T-Mobile US'..)

I don't have any APN apps or anything, but have been running AOSP v4.3 (then v4.4) since about the same time this started.

Any ideas on what to check? Am I going crazy? (Is my phone going crazy?)

--Mike.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] Skipjacks:
You could delete the APN's that you don't want it to switch to. Just leave yourself with the one you want, and it shouldn't be able to change.

Now that MIGHT cause it to switch to nothing, leaving the phone without any connection. But if that happens a revert to the nandroid backup you make before trying this would fix it, at least back to what you have now.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] coyttl:
I went ahead and tried this. So far, everything seems to be okay. I'll keep an eye on it for the weekend, and see if any oddness occurs.

Thanks!

-Me.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] coyttl:
Okay -

This didn't work, but it DID change the.. er.. way to fix -

What happens is that the data symbol will vanish - no data. Voice works okay. Since there's only ONE APN, if I go into the settings, it's still selected. (Leading me to believe that when I had multiple APNs, the top one WASN'T actually 'selected', the code was just marking the first one as active, when none were. Silly Radio lists..)

I had to add and save a 'dummy' APN entry, then select it, and then reselect my real APN, and it starts working.

It happens maybe once every other day, so it's not a big issue.

Yeah - the phone seems to ignore that. Meaning that, it will still drop data, forcing me to unselect and reselect.

Though, I spoke to the developer, and it looks like it's a ROM issue, actually, and I'm running the lastest build now, which is *supposed* to have the fix. We'll see after the holiday tomorrow.
