I'm still very new to android but I wanted to know if anyone is experiencing this same problem. whenever i swipe left/right at home to back/forth between diff. desktops, the contacts and call button do not go away. It's particularly annoying... Has anyone else had to experience this? is it a general android problem? Is there a fix for it?
I have attached a screenshot. Look at the bottom how they are overlapping.
Are you sure they're not part of your wall paper?

looks to me as tho you've installed launcher pro, and havent set it as the default home launcher, what u can do is download an app such as Home Switcher, and choose launcher pro as the default launcher for the phone, this should get rid of the default Blue launcher which is what you are seeing in the background
i installed launcher pro before and then restored the phone to factory settings because it happened a few days ago... so after that, i decided to stay away from launcher pro because i figured it might have had some bugs since the Atrix is brand new, blah blah blah.. Well, without touching launcher pro, it just happened again earlier today... I didn't install anything either. I might have unplugged the phone or something but other than that i have not installed any new apps today... I cannot remove it through the apps and it's not a part of the background... What can I do to fix this? There has to be some easier way than reseting to factory everytime? anyone else have any ideas? am i the only one experiencing this so far?
I still get the same problem... I find that when I go into the running application 'Home' and click clear data, the problem is solved. My icons and all my desktops are also cleared... Is there some sort of config file I could edit instead of losing my icons everytime this bug occurs? I also don't have launcher pro or any other launcher app installed atm.
i'd do another factory restore if not take it back to ATT if u bought it from them.
were you rooted before, and did you install the custom rom?
Both times it happened, I was rooted. I never installed the custom rom. I'm still trying to look into what's going on and see if I can find a config file that I can edit to change it.
Same problem with my new ATRIX
Hey everyone, I just bought the Atrix last week and had problems with it freezing right out of the box. The next day I noticed that the direction arrows that pop up when switching screens would pop up and overlap my call and contact buttons instead of them dissapearing just like he said. So I went and got it replaced yesterday and all last night and all today my phone was working flawlessly and I was very impressed and thought I must of had a dud until just now my phone froze while playing a game. GRRR not this again So I was forced to take out the battery to restart it and then I scrolled over to the next screen and the stupid arrows were overlapping the call and contact button again I think this must be a common problem. Two phones in a row this has happened. This is kind of pissing me off. Surely more than just the two of us must have this problem? And no I haven't done any of the things you guys said could have caused the problem. The first time it happened I hadn't downloaded anything other than facebook or ebuddy.
I was super excited for the atrix but now am wondering if I should have got something else.
So it turns out that it may have been a program called mixzing music player thatwas causing the problem. After having some problems with the app I removed it and reset my phone and the problem has resolved itself. If anyone with the same problem has mixzing on their phone I strongly recommend using something like winamp instead. My phone works great now and Bell finally released an update today aswell

I haven't changed my charger, same dock, same cables. My power widget is still registering 4xxxMa, but the screen just dims and will not shut off and it goes dead sitting in the cradle.
It recharged fine just Tuesday.
I know Google plus had a weird update, first it was an invalid package then when it did update right it kept saying the package wasn't installed from the open in Play. It opens fine through the all programs though. I am using the GO launcher set so I have GO Locker on here and I think it updated also. I un installed Locker and Google+ but still acting weird.
Thoughts?

You really need to track down which apps is causing problems. After you installed the G+ and golocker yet still having problem means something else is wrong too. I would just titanium backup all your apps and format the phone and install one app at a time to find out which is causing the problem.
As stated above i would wipe and redo everything one by one to zero in on the problem best of luck
I know and agree. I was just wondering if anyone else bumped into this problem this week and see if it was a known glitch.
Ok, tearing apart my set up I guess is the hobby this weekend...
Thanks for the advice all!
New to this forum and seeking some help(obviously)
Had this phone for about 3 weeks now and I love it. I just have one problem with it.
In the stock messaging app, Kik, and a couple of other apps, my keyboard will occasionally freeze. Android keyboard, LG keyboard, Swype... They all do it.
But I can still type on it, it just won't show me a "live-shot" of what I'm typing. When I press the back button(hides keyboard), all the text that I typed would show up. For example, if I type/swype "I like cake", it won't show anything in the text field until I hide/exit out of the keyboard. Then it all the text shows up at once.
I've tried everything I know of. I've done a factory reset on the phone, I've disabled keyboards, I've uninstalled apps. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated! This isn't a huge pain because a restart temporarily fixes it, and this phone only takes like 45 seconds to reboot. It's just annoying since it happens several times a day.

Never happened to me....Are you stock, rooted, unlocked....if so what ROM/kernel are you running. It helps when you post as much information as possible so we might be able to determine if its something we can help with. That happened to me on my old Infuse ALOT, but i was flashing multiple ROM a day just playing around....

this is strange I have had no issues regarding this whether I was stock or otherwise. If you got it from best buy take it back and get another, I have gone through 3 LGOG until I found one that didnt have strange issues. But I also got mine early. Maybe some of the senior members have had this issue. Good Luck
Thanks for the replies. I'm not rooted and I've installed all the updates they've sent out so far. I've looked online and I haven't been able to find anyone else with this problem...
I got it from AT&T(They matched Best Buy's price for me!) and I have to go there in about a week to get a credit on my bill, so I'll just ask them to try to figure out what's going on.

Swap that out when you go. Good luck !
I fixed it. Apparently one of the few apps that I did not uninstall was causing the problem. Tesla LED(Flashlight app) was causing the keyboard to freeze. I have no idea why... That app has nothing to do with the keyboard. But I uninstalled it, installed another flashlight app and haven't had a problem since Tuesday night.

Hahaha, no problem, man! I installed Tiny Flashlight + LED and added the widget to my home screen. So now all I need to do is tap the widget and the flashlight turns on.
Ya, so I havent downloaded any flashlight app, yet fairly frequently, in messaging, web browsing, and the like, my keyboard stops displaying input (sometimes even gestures in web browsing, such as swiping to move around the screen freeze too). The words and other things i change, such as where in a web page it is focused does take effect after hitting the menu key on the phone. Typing also seems to work regularly in landscape, but im not used to turning it every time i type and id rather not get used to it. It happens with the Android keyboard as well as the LG one, and might be related to the similiar freezing the google voice and swype brought, but im fairly positive i completely uninstalled those, so idk...

Hey guys I just notice this as well fresh from the att store, although I've only seen it only once. So I'm 100% sure it's not due to rooting/bootloader unlocked. My suspicion is some sort of memory leak in the LG keyboard service (it's loaded as well even though you're using android OS). I clear both keyboard data and reboot, never happened anymore since then.

Hello guys
Here's an interesting problem:
Ever since I bought my phone (sealed, new, carrier-free, original ICS .54 firmware, etc), I noticed a strange bug in the Facebook application. Whenever I opened my messages or notifications, the arrow pointing at them (See first two pictures, link in the bottom of post) would be in the wrong place. At first I thought this was a facebook app problem, but then I saw that not only does this NOT happen on any other qHD screen i've seen on my friends' phones, but there are also positioning problems in other apps in my phone.. for example exDialer, which should have a small dial button in the middle and two other buttons on its sides, for me it has a huge dial button and the other two are pushed to the edges of the screen for some reason (I've drawn on the picture where the buttons should actually be, using great paint skills). And here's the best one: When using the stock timer app, there are two arcs around the clock that count the time left. The thick one is ok, but look at the smaller one, the one for the seconds. Yeah. it doesn't like to stay around the clock. instead, it's just casually floating near it. and it doesn't even draw itself entirely.
Does anyone have any idea regarding what could have caused this? I don't want to believe that this is normal and that they ship phones that make graphic glitches like this one.
I've had this problem ever since the first day I used it. At first I didn't know it was the phone,I thought the culprit was facebook. Since then, I have unlocked my bootloader, installed the Sliding_XP kernel, Fidelity ROM, then uninstalled fidelity and put back .54, then installed .75, which I also reinstalled yesterday because of a mod i installed and didn't like. None of these OS/kernel changes solved the graphics glitch.
I know that my warranty is void because of the unlocked bootloader. Does anyone know if there is a way to fix this without needing to send it to a service? It looks like a software bug, but it's very odd that upon formatting the system so many times, the problem is still there.
Thanks in advance!

But the system alarm and clock app shouldnt have the issue should it? and multiple apps as well? But yeah I dont think its hardware related either, but then how would you fix that..
Service centre is the only option left i m afraid..
Anyone else have this issue? Occasionally I'll unlock my Nexus 5 and the current theme will have many of the icons and widgets showing letters or numbers instead of the proper icon anymore.
For example, the phone icon may be the number 4 instead of a phone icon.
The only way I've found to get things back to normal is to download a new theme and install it, delete the old one I was using, and every other one I already had downloaded.
Any idea as to the cause? It is kind of annoying and I've now lost out on some great themes and customizations to current themes (themes that are now missing from themer, adjustments to broken themes).
well had many problems here but unfortnately not that one,are you running latest version ? also if you upgraded current version instead of just an install of the latest version,try to remove everything connected with themer,ie uninstall then physically go into your device storage and delete the mycolorscreen folder (remember to back up what you need to keep first though ie exported themes) then reboot device and reinstall from market,this should hopefully sort it out.If not report back and we will have another go unless someone else had this problem and found a solution
Yeah, i'm in the current version, and I had to do a full uninstall and delete then reinstall when it came out as it kept crashing. THis has been happening now and then for months though.
My wife has had the same issue a few times on her Note 2, so I know it isn't just me. I'm still trying to figure it out. Perhaps I'll start a log of what I do on my phone and then see what last was done before it happens, in case it is my fault.

Hi,
Are you running any 'cleaner' apps? These apps think the Zooper Widget fonts folder is malware, and deletes it. As the icons are fonts, they revert back to the original default font. Unfortunately the only way to fix it would be to reapply the theme or ever reinstall Themer, unless there's a way to whitelist a folder within the cleaner app.
I think you guys hit the nail right on the head. I use clean master, and so is my wife. I went in and checked in the cleaner settings and it was cleaning the zooper.
Unchecked it, Ran cleaning again and the problem is gone away. That's quite awesome.
Does anyone else have issues with their launcher following the Lollipop update? I'm on B309, stock everything and not rooted. Since the update, everytime I reboot my handset it forgets nova as the default launcher. Have factory reset, cleared cache, data etc. No joy. Also, since the updatey my smart cover has stopped working. Now it just shows a demo clock onthe window with writing telling me to hold and swipe to choose a new clock. Suffice to say, holding and swiping does nothing.
Anyone else had such issues? I've reported them to Huawei, but just wondering if re-flashing it would help?

Yeah. This is an issue we have been telling them about since the Friendly User Test (FUT) began. There is a Let's Mod thread. Inside that are the workarounds. I'll find it and edit this post in a minute. Basically you freeze the HWHome and your launcher will stick.
EDIT: Here is the thread, http://forum.xda-developers.com/ascend-mate2/general/mod-5-1-update-t3149523. See the third bullet in the OP. Also, read thru the thread. Good stuff.

Need root to freeze though. There isn't a workaround for this if you aren't rooted.

Correct. But the issue is (hopefully) being worked on because it has certainly been brought to their attention.
Awesome, sorry my bad for not searching enough for this issue on the forums. However, I still have this stupid issue with the smart cover. Maybe I'll just use my giant trident cover instead
I don't have/use smart cover, but have you enabled smart cover under settings-smart assist-more?
I'm pretty sure Smart Cover is turned on by default. I don't have one either. Sorry I can't help.
IF you freeze the stock launcher, you better not have your 3rd party launcher crash cause if you do and it requires an uninstall and reinstall you're ****ed. My phone will now not boot because there is no launcher to boot to
