Hi,
I fear this may be a silly question, but I've traversed the Internet as well as this forum and cannot seem to find an answer.
This issue happens on both a newly updated Galaxy S3 running 4.1.1 and Note 2 running the same operating system. Both devices were purchased unlocked in the UK.
Basically, whenever I try to add a widget to one of the home screens by dragging and dropping, the relevant app is launched, rather than the widget being added to the screen. I can add regular app short cuts just fine - this only happens with the widgets.
I've been using the Galaxy S3 for five months now with ICS installed and this issue never happened. I updated to 4.1.1 yesterday. The Note 2 was purchased today and the same issue happens.
I suspect the solution may well be very simple, but I can't seem to find it. Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Okay, so I have had this Galaxy Tab 10.1 since release. It is a great device, I love it. I bought the Bluetooth keyboard so it functions like a laptop. However, I haveb't really messed around with the operating system. So here comes the questions
1- Recently, I just installed the New ADW Launcher. It make my tab much better scrolling from screens. Now, 2 weeks later, I have been getting A LOT OF CRASHES from the Market. It just keeps crashing. I uninstalled the ADW launcher but it just got worse. And I really don't have too much apps. I don't understand whats causing it. Any tips?
2- When do you think we will get the ICS update? I don't want to get into rooting and flashing the Rom. I tried that before on a My Touch 4G and it wasn't pretty.
3- When I did get the Tab, it was loaded with the vanilla version. The borders where black, and most of the theme was black color. After about 2 months of using it, my father thought he can make it "better" so he updated. This new theme or update looks dull. It whitish color, and it has that task manager which I keep accidentally clicking. Is there any way to go back to stock version?
4- Every since i got the new update, the Wifi signal has been very weak. I'm in the same room as the Router, yet I get like 1 signal booster. Just imagine how it is when I am on campus. It's like having a 2g speeds.
5- Can I get an app that looks similar to Microsoft Word on PC/Laptop?
1- If you haven't flashed a ROM since you got it, do so now. You'll be much happier with galaxy task anyways, and that's the only foolproof solution.
2- Google it or just read some of the posts in this forum.
3- You can get the stock look by either 1) downgrading to a stock 3.1 ROM; or 2) get galaxy task and flash one of Boosted's themes (better than stock).
4- Beats me. Flash galaxy task. If it doesn't improve you've got a hardware problem.
5- Polaris office or quickoffice HD pro

Hello all! I have a little issue, just bought the HDC Galaxy S4 Legend recently. Great phone.
The problem I have is that, when I receive a call from someone (even though they're saved in my phone contacts, in the phone memory, their name doesn't appear, but the name appears fine in whatsapp and when they text me and all i receive is the number).
I've tried various roms, settings etc, but no joy. Right now i'm using android 4.2.3 fluffy rom (have attached a pic of the software and kernel. Which seems to be the most stable and with air gesture etc. Which works fine apart from the one issue.
I'm on T-mobile UK. And have also tried turning google/other syncs off etc, basically everything. If anyone could help me with this, it would be greatly appreciated.
*P.S. Apologies if I've posted in the wrong section etc, my first post.
Big thanks to anyone who could possibly help. :good:
Hello, I'd like to ask if anyone found any issues with the following apps as I did:
- WidgetLocker Lockscreen
- Zombie Tsunami
Zombie Tsunami hangs and crashes after a few seconds of running it, and it only happens to my S3. My friends and colleagues who are also on the S3 can run their app just fine, and we're all on the same version of the app. I've tried reinstalling, but no luck.
With regards to WidgetLocker, I can't add widgets to it. This was an issue with the app for the past few months or so, but even after yesterday's update I still can't add any. That said, the app may still just be broken.
In any case, I'm wondering whether it's my phone that's the problem. I'm running stock rooted JB 4.1.2, XXEME2. Thanks.

Hi everyone,
I have tried to search for a solution to my problem but I haven't been very successful. If anyone knows of links to possible resolutions to my problem, please reply with them.
I have an issue with the chrome browser starting with a completely black screen. At first I thought it was only my last phone (RAZR HD), but the problem is also present on my Verizon Note 3. If it were just an issue on a single phone, I'd probably ask in specific phone forums, but it's happened on two different phones now.
I'm presuming that the problem might be caused by an app I'm using, but the problem is intermittent so I can't tell if the issue subsides when I uninstall certain apps.
Any help or insight in this issue is appreciated.
Thanks
I have the same issue. Seems in my case its ANY 4.3 rom. It started after an update to Chrome around the fifteenth or so of November. It'll work but if I change tabs or switch apps it will turn black when resuming. Older versions of Chrome don't have the problem. I've gone back to a 4.2.2 root box rom with no problems.

The latest update to chrome doesn't render the pages immediately.
This would most likely be to open chrome faster.
However, users are reporting that they don't get past a black screen.
This is common.
Go complain to google devs though, not here. (The bug tracker they have)
Right on. Will do. Not so much complaining as just sharing with the OP. Thanks for letting us know its very common. My searches have not returned much information at all. Including Google searches and searches here and on XDA.
Thanks again!

I see. My RAZR HD was still on 4.1.2 and this was an issue there too. Thanks for the information.
Side note: I'm glad I wasn't the only person having difficulty searching on this subject.
sorry for the huge bump but if anyone was wondering my dpi was 350 and this issue stated when my Rom was changed to a 350 DPI. I used xposed and App Settings to change the DPI of chrome to 480 and no more black screens
EDIT(2 hours later):Nope it just came back.
Hi. I recently swopped my Sony Experia Z1 for a Samsung Galaxy Note 3. I believe the handset is rooted. I only know this because one of my favourite apps wont work and i got a message telling me it wont work on a rooted device. My problem however is this. When i go into settings and connections and select the screen mirroring, instead of searching for available devices it just says empty.
Screenshot attached
This is very frustrating. The problem also applies to S-Beam and Kies etc although i dont really care very much for those.
Can anyone offer some advice as to why this is happening?
I should mention the phone is running Android 4.4
Thanks
