.21 ASUS Task Manager Widget not working properly - Asus Eee Pad Transformer Prime

Since I updated to .21 it seems that the ASUS Task Manager Widget isn't working properly anymore.
- It doesn't refresh automatically
- Closing apps by clicking the x doesn't work
- Closing all apps by clicking 'One-click clean' doesn't work.
Note: the above doesn't happen all the time, as if the widgets stops working after some time.
When I delete the widget and replace it on the home screen it seems to work for a while.
Does anyone else experience this problem? Any solution?

Even before the update that widget never worked for me

Yeah, It has always been kind of a POS.

The battery widget shows the charger when docked -_-

Yup, it's been that way since I discovered that widget and that was way before the latest update. I don't use it that often but sometimes when I do it doesn't do anything.

Can anyone recommend a good replacement?

I had problems with the Asus Task Manager, so I stopped using it. After I installed a custom ROM, I was playing around with widgets and checked it out again and it worked. Don't know exactly why it started working again, but I'll use it until it doesn't again.

[Q] ICS Update - Asus Task Manager not working

Hello,
I have an issue with Asus Task Manager.
When I aad it to desktop I just get a pop-up window saying application has stopped. The Widget just prints the number of tasks running but no task list at all and One Clic Cleaning button doesn't work.
I tried a factory reset but it didn't solve the issue.
Anyone else having the same issue ?
Any idea to get it solved ?
Thank you for the attention you'll pay to my request.
That's a known issue, I haven't seen any solution to this yet.
am i really the only person with a working widget? i can add it to the desktop without a problem. it lists all the apps that are running, i can close each one individually and the one-click clean button also works just fine.
Mine works just fine

+1 Widget is working properly for me.
Just added mine to the desktop. It's running fine. Is there a way to uninstall and reinstall the widget?
Mine works... off and on.
Sometimes clicking the little X works to kill an app, sometimes not. Sometimes it will kill the app like 1 minute later. Just hit or miss.
mine does not....tried clearing data etc, no luck
Thank you all for your feedback.
Guess we can just wait for an update or somebody extracting the apk in order to reinstall it.
So, those of us who have a non-working Asus task manager, are we all having a german model?
Well... I bought mine in France.

i have a german model and its not working.
speculation: maybe one of the reasons they delayed the german ICS update for some devices....
Bump, I'm from the US and mine just started doing this..
Not only is my Task Manager widget mostly non-functional, but I've discovered it also seems to cause system-wide problems. Here's what I notice when I have mine running:
1. When I switch to the screen that the widget is on, the LCD dims. When I switch to any other screen, it returns to its standard brightness.
2. My Launcher kept crashing (popping up withe "Wait" or "Close" dialog), and I finally narrowed it down to whenever I switch to the screen containing the Task Manager widget.
I've removed the widget and rebooted, and neither of these problems seems to be occurring. I was having this for awhile, and so I can't say what build it started with. Probably .13, but I'm not 100% sure.
I found this thread by searching for Asus task manager has stopped responding, which I have seen several times today. Mine is a US model. If I don't a solution soon it's going bye bye.
I also have Rom Toolbox installed which has a task manager I think. I wonder if two running at once could be the problem. I don't know if the Toolbox one runs in the background or not. I like the Asus one. If it will work....

Google Voice widget issue

Anyone having problems with the Google Voice widget crashing? After awhile, my widget is just blank. Removing it and then re-adding the widget works but it's annoying to keep doing that.
Yea happens to me. Some times it comes back on its own or on a reboot.
I think it is an ICS issue. Happened on my GSII, Inspire, and Captivate too.

Yup happens to me too. It goes blank or doesn't update properly.

the thing definitely has problems on this tablet. don't know if this is necessarily an "ICS" issue as they just updated it with the new ICS look, one has to imagine they at least tested it on their own galaxy nexus. more likely it's an issue only affecting ICS tablets.
on my tf201 the GV widget has so many issues it's useless. sometimes it shows data but the data isn't current. other times it just goes blank. removing the widget and putting a new one down fixes but i wouldn't call that a solution.
and although this is OT, i can't believe there is no google talk widget. i want desktop with gmail/gv/gtalk on it and right now google is scoring 1 for 3.
So no one knows of a fix for this?
I have a galaxy nexus and have the problem as well.
I'm having the issue as well, is everyone still having this problem?
For me all I have to do to get it back is go into the app and let it sync.

Gmail app is slow or just shuts down

Does this happen on anyone else's TFP? It does not happen all of the time but large HTML messages will make it freeze and if I touch the screen too soon it will give me the not responding message and I select "wait" or it will just shut down. Sometimes it won't even be HTML emails that will make it hang, I will just open the apk and get a white screen that does nothing. I have 3 emails hooked up to it, is that what is effecting it so much but if so why does my phone Gmail app work great? Just probably my most frustrating thing about my tablet as everything else works really well and this is the #1 thing I use mine for. Any ideas? I just cleared data and cache so we shall see if that helps at all. I would prefer not to use a 3rd party app but I guess I may have to. If I do need a 3rd party app what are your suggestions that act very closely to Gmail? Thanks a ton for your help.

Mine is working fine. Try logging out and back in. Also, try wiping cache.
I'm having the same issues. Just started happening out of the blue a few days ago too. Erased cache, killed the process & restarted, rebooted the tablet.. Keeps happening. :-/
My problem started on OTA.14 Not fixed on .15
Sent from my Transformer Prime TF201 using Tapatalk
I've got the same problems, black screens, force closes, all kinds of nonsense. Wiping cache etc sorts the issues for an hour or so, then it's back
This is a massive pain. Is anyone having any luck sorting this yet?
S
Same Here
Lock ups, black screens, and force closes. Man, this really frustrates me because I didn't have these issues on my old transformer. Its not just my Gmail also. My corporate mail and G+ sometimes do the same thing. Its gotta be something in Ice Cream Sandwich.

Gmail issues?

Gmail has been freezing and forceclosing on me near constantly for the last week or so. Has anyone else had this issue?
Sent from my Transformer Prime TF201 using Tapatalk
Was having the same issue after OTA.14 . I think it's its caused by a memory problem as it happens either when it was used a long time or had a lot of programs open. Restart seemed to fix it temporally. Maybe the new OTA .15 will fix it.

I have the same problem.
Have you tried clearing the app cache then rebooting? Always the first step when troubleshooting an app.
Same problem here in ATP WW C1 with OTA .15 before OTA .14 this doesn't happen.
Clearing cache and app data doens't help.
A reboot solves the problem temporaly but if I play a game that need lots of resources like gameloft's games, shadowgun, etc. the gmail app has again this problem.
I also have the same problem with google maps: freezing and closing with or without FC.
Gmail force closes
I can confirm this issue with Gmail. I never had any problems with gmail before the update, now it forcecloses and sometimes I receive a blank white screen for about 15 seconds when first opening.
I was having an issue with gmail freezing and closing. I cleared cache, and app data then did a cold boot. Haven't had a problem with is since.
I have also experienced gmail freezing since ota .15. Restarting the prime helps.
Looking at the log cat when a gmail crash happen i noticed this error:
03-27 07:15:20.740 E/OpenGLRenderer(26566): OpenGLRenderer is out of memory!

Useful information. That's a good idea; I'll check out my catlog too -- my gmail has been unsuable for quite some time now, and I definitely suspect is a disk I/O or memory issue.
I can't get into my Gmail app any more. It just closes as soon as I click on anything. Really annoying, been this way for months
A temporary workaround is to use Gmail as an exchange mail server, use server name m.google.com and it will do push email.

Glad I'm not the only one. I just found this same error after gmail closes. Strange since I appear to have a ton of memory available. Almost seems like the ATP won't use all available resources. I have a lot of stuff running and seem lately to have been getting system reboots from it even.
UPDATE:
Just found this tidbit:
https://groups.google.com/group/android-developers/browse_thread/thread/28c5ffe1588436e?pli=1
http://stackoverflow.com/questions/9412662/how-can-fonts-cause-opengl-out-of-memory-error
This might explain some of my behavior at least, as I'm using a bunch of Simple Text Widgets on my home screens (17 currently across 4 screens). Not word on a fix though. I really like the look so I'm quite bummed.
Also this one:
http://forums.developer.nvidia.com/devforum/discussion/6631/tegra-2-3-ics-driver-memory-leak/p1
I have the exact same issue. This pisses me off big time because it means I need to complete reboot the tablet to solve this. I am running the latest ASUS update as of this date (ICS 4.0.3) for the Transformer Prime.
The following error gets repeated over and over:
[ 06-15 14:56:33.460 563:0x233 D/OpenGLRenderer ]
GL error from OpenGLRenderer: 0x505
[ 06-15 14:56:33.460 563:0x233 E/OpenGLRenderer ]
OpenGLRenderer is out of memory!

Now, from what the previous poster shared, it seems we need to reduce the font size on widgets on the home screen. The question remains, how small do they need to be, when I look at my widgets, I don't even see any font I consider "large".
Did anyone solve this issue at all?
My Gmail was fine pretty. 28 update, but after the update it constantly freezes just after opening it. It's actually quite unusable as it is right now.

Confirmed..
Hey developers.. Would you consider this an Android problem or a developers app not compatible with 4.4 problem?
I would report this to the app developer. He will be able to file a more detailed bug report if not fix it himself
I cannot drag and drop app icon from App drawer to the Home screen. Every time I try this I just load the app. It doesn't matter for how long I'm holding the app icon. Maybe this is due to the low battery, which is doubtful. Reboot doesn't help. Please kindly let me know if I'm not the only one with such weirdness.
This is definitely some malfunction since per Android 4.4 User Guide (http://www.google.com/help/hc/images/android/android_ug_42/Android-Quick-Start-Guide.pdf):
To add an app icon to a Home screen:
1. Go to the Home screen where you want to place the app.
2. Touch theAll Apps icon.
3. Swipe from right to left, if necessary, to find the app you want.
4. Touch & hold the app until the Home screen appears, slide it into place, and lift your finger
Edit:
Found out that this only happens when the device is plugged with USB cable. Maybe this is a feature not a bug...

styckx,
Just a small suggestion for the bug list. Rather than have a raw URL link please make the subject title the URL link. For example the first bug:
Nexus 10 - KRT160 - Homescreen not redrawing Google Search if you flick items off instead of dragging to remove
In this way your list will be is easier to scan. Thanks for creating this thread.

Has anyone noticed that since the upgrade to 4.4 that your device is staying awake? Seems to be caused by Android system. It doesn't sleep anymore and it's draining my battery because of this. Anyone found out what the problem is? I read on another forum that it's being caused by the Google Keyboard that is shipped with 4.4, if I change the keyboard with the 1,2,3 layout, will this solve the battery drain issue? This is weird man......
Thanks for the replies!

Haven't had a look at battery stats or anything but I got over 6 hours screen on time yesterday, so I can't say i've got a problem with battery life
Here's a screenshot I made. To verify it, I disabled the keyboard for a moment, and indeed, the device went to sleep. I then re-enabled the keyboard and again the device won't sleep! Without use I lost 5% of my battery in just 30 minutes. Anyone knows how I can update the keyboard with the newest version?
I think I solved the problem. I turned off Hotword detection under Google Now settings, and then Voice. Seems to have done the trick! Now when the screen is switched off the device goes to sleep. This is weird though, it should switch off when the screen is off but it doesn't! So, I think this is a legitimate bug that needs fixing! Can someone give this a try and report back if this solution helped?

Well, more than 20 hours later and looks like turning off Hotword detection solved the battery drain issue.....
I'm not sure if this is a kitkat bugit might be just a google search bug but when i try to set a reminder ussing google now it says cant connect to google. Can anyone test this to confirm it?
