Hello, I installed the app after receiving my beta key and I have to say this is the best app I have installed yet. I'm just having a few issues. The first is that whenever I set the weather widget to display the temperature in celcius is always changes back to fahrenheit after a few minutes. Secondly sometimes, not always whenever I reboot my phone no widgets will load so I have to reapply the theme. These aren't big problems and I know the app is still in beta, so these are bound to get fixed. Just wondering if there is anyway to fix them.
Thanks:fingers-crossed:
I can't even get the weather working, I did set up my location on the widget settings but it shows nothing at all.
Same goes for me. I think Ill wait for the next update.
Try saving as widget after finish changing. Auto save seems not working properly.

Im having some refresh issue's.
Using the calendar widget, it shows todays date, however Ive noticed it hasnt updated today, and still shows todays date as yesterdays
Also, using the missed calls, unread text etc, I replied to a text, and the counter stayed at 1. it eventually went to 0, not sure when, but I was using my phone for a good 30 mins or so, and the counter never changed.
The weather thing isn't that big of an issue, but the widgets disappearing after reboot is really annoying. I have a Nexus 4 and after reboot it asks me if I want to allow themer to create widgets. Even If I choose allow it will never create them again, so I have to reapply the theme.

In an upcoming version (very soon) we have put the weather temperature setting within the main Settings of the app, so that issue will be resolved.
Widgets
Widgets dissapearing for me also on a reboot, I dont want to re-apply the theme as a workaround, as I have made changes, and if I apply the theme again, I assume it will overwrite my changes with the default theme I am going to apply again?

Coming from Nexus One so AOSP/CM were what Im used to.
Im currently running quick sense.
ADW as my launcher.
Just a few questions.
1. Is there a way to remove the PULL RING lock screen at all ?
Or at the very least change the shortcuts ?
I have pattern lock but Im used to going directly to that when waking.
2. Are there any modified APKs of the messaging app ?
Lack of customization isnt made up by its high res UI and slick design.
Handcent and GoSms are nice but not high res so Im caught in between
3. Anyway to turn off home screen rotate ?
4. Contacts. Im very lost here.
Can I sync JUST the Facebook contacts I also have on my Google account ?
Seems like its all or nothing.
I like having say "brenda's" FB status and profile pick...but not her sisters jane and diane who are also FB friends.
5. Is there a way to enable track skip for the volume buttons ?
If Im listening to music Im used to being able to press Vol up/down to change tracks.
So far love the camera..light bleed is there but hasnt irritated me (yet)..very heavy/bulky...but great screen and Audio seems FAR better than my N1 so far. Battery life went from wtf ? to oh..pretty good with Quicksense.
Thanks!!

3. My home screen doesn't rotate. Maybe try Settings > Display and check/uncheck Auto-rotate screen.
4. Confused here. Do you want your Google contacts AND your Facebook or just your Facebook? Or do you want to sync certain Facebook contacts.
5. You can swipe your finger across the screen to change tracks. That's about it as far as I know.

No. But there should be something on the Market to disable the lockscreen. I have a power control widget that has the option to disable the lockscreen when selected.

Currently, there isn't a way (that I am aware of) short of removing the contact from FB to prevent them from showing up. Alternatively, consider setting up groups such as Work, Friends, Class, Clan, Gang, Homies... whatever. I use the People widget on my homescreen with twelve or thirteen frequently used contacts and rarely need to go through my contacts at all. And with the People widget it also shows their latest FB Status, tweet, e-mail, missed call or sms. Maybe that helps?

Why not run Beastmod then?
It kills all Sense... Seems like you don't want Sense features since you are using ADW. Why run a bulky ROM for features you don't want?

"1. Is there a way to remove the PULL RING lock screen at all ?

Yes - you can customize which icons are on the lock screen - you get at them from the 'personalize' icon on the home screen - lock screen - settings - and can assign any app to the lock screen.

Beautiful. Thank you!
So twice now my icons disappeared on me. The only programs I can access will be the ones listed in the recently open list. I have to reboot to get the icons back.
Anyone else getting this? Also, I don't think I am doing much of anything but switching between apps. Thanks.

I got this too last night
a lot of times when an app automatically updates, it removes the icon. looks at the icon that disappeared and see if it was automatically updated in the market.
Every icon installed and apps/games, widgets. I mean everything disappears. You can't even swipe left or right to get to your other desktop. The only things you can access are the home (which really doesn't do anything because you are already home), recently opened apps, and the back (which again will not do anything). Settings work too but that's it. To get everything back, you will need to reboot.
Icons also going invisible
Add me to the group of people who lose all their icons. This happens to me several times a day. The icons are still there just invisible. If i touch the right spot I can launch things as normal. I can also change the background if I touch an empty area. But every single icon is gone and the entire background is displayed. Also the app button which I can touch and launch if I pick the right spot simply brings up a blank black background again with no apps/icons.
I do have the video issues on occasion where certain games blink/flash and lock up, but usually don't do this if I restart the tablet and run the game first thing. Also have the random occasional screen tearing especially when using a live background.
I'm looking forward to the February update and hope this fixes the issue. I'd reset the icon cache if I knew how but I'm not sure that's the issue. If anyone has ideas let me know.
Thanks
Possible cause?
Hi guys,
I didn't have this issue after upgrading to 4.0.3, but then sometime last week I did start having the same issue with the stock launcher "crashing" (well, it was still running, but in brain-dead mode where it won't display icons or widgets).
I started un-installing stuff and after about 4 hours of messing around I noticed that the launcher didn't crash when I had disabled "cool tool". (This is a really cool floating CPU graph.) Cool tool _seemed_ to work fine on my prime, and I had it floating over the status/button bar. But apparently it was, after running for a couple hours, causing openGLRenderer to run out of memory which caused the launcher to freak out.
At least that's my take on what was happening. Anyway, I'm using SeePU now, and I haven't had a launcher "crash" in a couple days. Maybe this isn't your problem, but I used "System Info Pro" (or something like that) to view the android log. Might help in troubleshooting? If this IS the root cause, I guess somebody should tell the developer...
Getting this thing loaded with apps & widgets AND staying stable and fast has been a challenge to say the least. But a fun one. I think?!

Same bug here. It happened to me a couple of time. I reported it to Asus Canada yesterday... But no news yet.
It looks like the "foreground" become transparent/invisible. The System bar still works. For me, I can even click on the invisible icons to start the apps.
The only work-around I found is to reboot my device.
I experienced the bug once more this morning. I tought it was related to "force GPU rendering", I had it enabled and since I disabled it, most of my bugs are gone.
But this morning again, the foreground became "transparent" and I was only seeing the background.
BTW, you could rename the thread: "Icons disappearing/transparent desktop".
Also, does version .13 fix this?
Same problem here.
Problem occus now a few times a day. All Icons/Widgets and app drawer icon are invisible but still clickable! Only a restart solves the problem or going to settings->apps->force close for the homescreen-app will solve it for some time.
Any Ideas or a statement from ASUS?

I reported the problem to Asus.
You should do the same, if it's not already done.
I have seen this 3 times in day or so...any one had any update on cause or fix other than reboot
Same here
Add me to the list as well... all icons go transparent ... only see the background ... can tap "invisible" icons and they work ...
I confirm it is still present in WW .15.
Sometime a "force close" of the Launcher is enough, but other time it happens again and again, only a reboot fix it (for a while). Beside this (annoying) bug, I consider my Prime very stable. Gmail sometimes crash, but it seems to be fixed (or less prominent in .15).
Asus Tech. Support suggested me to do a factory reset... Haven't tried it yet. I may also try an alternate Launcher (Trebuchet...) to see if it's only related to the Launcher or the system.
PS: Don't forget to report it to Asus Tech. Support.
I saw this for the first time today on the non-Prime TF101. I upgraded to the FOTA ICS update a couple of weeks ago (for which I've observed the same occasional resets as others) but this is the first time I've had this app problem.
Different desktops can be accessed, but they're all blank. Apps can be run from their invisible icons. The top-right app menu also has invisible apps which can be run.
I have a small (2.5MB 30s) video, if I manage to upload it.
I had a similar thing again since, but this time the icons returned when moving between desktops. I think the common thing I was doing was grouping apps together into single composite icons.
I'm not 100% sure, but since I cleaned up my home screens it does not happen anymore. I removed all my widgets except for gmail and calendar. And all my stuff is on one screen (thanks to folders).
You may try this too to see if it makes a difference.
Thanks. My screens were almost completely full. But I never saw this issue until I started using folders!
I got it the other day for the first time.
I had just downloaded Simplistic Text.
Rebooted, everything was fine--just assumed it had something to do with some file cleanup or something that didn't get done after the download.
Ah, and fyi, I'm running Honeycomb on the Japanese build. (They still haven't given us the damned ICS yet over here.)
All the icons disappearing used to happen to me a couple of times a day, with only a reboot fixing the issue.
Whilst trying to fix a constantly crashing GMail I removed the Beautiful Widgets home screen weather/clock widget and this amazingly fixed the disappearing icons and hasn't happened since. One down only another 101 bugs left to fix!
Hope this helps someone.

Indeed, this happens to me too.
Settings/Personal/Security/Screen Lock - Set it to "none".
Thanks, that works.. I notice it took a few tries of unlocking first but then the setting took..
I haven't been able to get it to work either but I found a workaround
Download the app Shake from the Play Store. App icon is a phone with two blue arrows rotating.
Download OClock from the OStore
Disable the lock screen option from Slide to None. Found in Settings -- Personal & Accounts - Security
Open the OClock app and select a watchface
Open Shake app and configure, here's my settings
Action when shaken - Simple - Run an installed app - Selected Oclock
Sensor sensitivity 16
Check Start at phone start up
Check Active when screen is off
If you want the Omate to sleep faster after a shake to wake, change the Display timeout in Settings - Device - Display - Sleep
Hope this helps.

How do you change the different themes? I tried swiping in all directions, each clock only has on option. Come to think of it, I swear there was a pong clock shown in one of the videos months ago...
Edit: Oh, I needed the Oclock app. Except I can't use any as my lock screen, it says I need to purchase it?
I wasn't satisfied with any of the watch faces available, so I ended up disabling the lockscreen and adding another home screen to my launcher (I'm using ADW), installed UCCW and Zooper Widget, and added a full screen widget with time, date, weather and battery status. After testing a few widgets I settled for Iridescent UCCW, but there are many good alternatives like Primium or Square Clock.
I just need now a way to disable the touchscreen without turning it off.
Hey all,
Just got my new OnePlusX and the first time I turned it on it prompted all the set up screens. I had to skip through them all because the keyboard would not stay open. It would open and then immediately minimize. Not a great start but no problem, I'll add my accounts and connect to wifi later.
Once I get into the 'home screen' I could see my status bar at the top but no icons and no way to access the app draw. I pressed the capacitive buttons and opened the notification slider which both worked and eventually got into the play store. From here I installed an app or two and got prompted to do a system update, which I did.
After the update I was hoping my launcher would work.. it didn't. The home screen is a black screen with the status bar at the top and no icons - the home button seems to do nothing when I'm in an app and press it.
I installed a third party launcher which worked - I now have a home screen and app draw. However, after opening an app, it crashes after a second or two (chompSMS does this as well as messenger, phone and contacts which are stock apps).
Does anyone have any information about this, what can I do here?
I know one option might be flashing a custom rom but being a brand new phone that should most definitely not be something I have to do to be able to call and message people..
Update: I ran a factory reset and all problems seemed to be resolved now. Not sure what was going on but I guess something happened that a reboot couldn't fix. I'll leave this post in case it helps others.

Please help ... My widgets stop updating after deep sleep {if my phone screen is of for about an hour}
I have added the widget app in ignore battery optimization and enabled auto start and run in background in battery optimization .. still the widget stops updating ..

there is a reason the battery is so good. the phone is basically shutting down when idle. You need to go in tot the settings and exclude the app/widget from the battery optimisations.
as i stated before , i did remove it from the battery optimizations but still the widget stops working after sometime

Sorry, there must be an associated process that is sleeping. Have you tired removing all battery optimization for a while just to check? Might be worth emailing the Dev. They may know what is happening.
ill try that ,,, thanks for the idea , ill report back .

I tried that app for myself. Doesn't update automatically for me as well. However other widgets that auto updates frequently works fine. So it should be a fix to be done by the app developer for this specific app.

What firmware are you running on the phone?
The latest from huawei 8.0.0.115
I have another problem .. some times when i switch on the screen everything changes to very small even the navigation bar icons .. its like the resolution changes and everything will be small .. ill.post a screenshot when it happens again .. a workaroung i go to screen resolution and change from hd to fhd then back to hd and the icons and text comes back to normal size
I have the widget problem as well (on .115, C636). I'll report back if I find a solution.
I also have the widget problem on my ALP-L29 ".115 (c636)" and it's really bugging me!
Whichever phone I use, I set up the BBC News and BBC Sport pages as two full screen widgets to the left of my home screen. They're great apps/widgets which means everything I need to know is one or two swipes away.
After sleep, neither will refresh anymore. The sport widget actually has a manual refresh button but now the icon is just constantly spinning as if it's trying to constantly refresh.
Any help at all would be much appreciated.
These widgets were fine on my Mate 9.
115 C636. I have calender agenda widget which does not update automatically like it used to.
Same here.
Weather widget and News widget are working fine, BUT i tried 5 different calendar widgets from store and none of them did work (no refresh).
BLA-L29 8.0.0.115 (C432).
Did not have any problems on my former Mate 9.
Must be an Oreo thing. I contacted the developer of my calendar widget so let's hope he can fix it.
I am afraid to say that, but i contacted the developer of my widget also and he answered, that the widget is working fine with Oreo (Emulator).
I think it could be a problem with EMUI 8. Not sure, but i think at the beginning of the Mate 9 there were similar problems, that some notifications didnt work.
That was fixed with an update from Huawei.
Bad news so far folks, have updated to ".119 (c636)" via Funky Huawei and still no fix for both the widget problem and the issue of not being able to perform some actions from the notification shade (like delete Gmail emails).
Really hope this is fixed with next update or I may be tempted to get rid. Unacceptable for a 2017, Oreo phone!
---------- Post added at 07:16 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:14 PM ----------
By the way, I tried the same widgets with Nova Launcher and got the same problems. So it's something in Emui 8 or Huawei's version of Oreo that's causing the issues, not the stock launcher.
@Hymastar
Did you inform Huawei about this bug?
My developer of my troublesome widget says it works fine too. He thinks it must be EMUI killing the task in the background and not allowing it to run properly.
Hi, had a breakthrough of sorts!
I switched back to the standard/stock launcher and tried the option with no app drawer i.e. default setting.
Took me a while to organise all my apps into Huawei's fiddly little folders (can't stand icons everywhere!) BUT the widgets are working fine!
Just to clarify, the widgets in question are from the BBC News and Sport apps which I always use as full page screens to the left of my home page.
So, I'll stick with the non-app drawer launcher for now, but it doesn't really solve the problem as I much prefer having an app drawer... @Hudrator I wouldn't know how to go about contacting Huawei?
Forget the above post, after 12hrs or so (maybe a deep sleep) the widgets are once again failing to update regardless of home screen style.
Thought I had found a temporary fix...
