On-screen music widget not updating properly - Themer General Discussion

Anyone else have an issue with the on-screen music widget not properly updating on all of the themes? For instance when the song changes, the widget doesn't update to the next song. Also when you touch for the next track, the information displayed doesn't change and shows i am still on the last track. Anyone know how to fix this or is it just a bug that needs to be worked on?
Edit: My main music player of choice is Spotify

even I had same problem and still have...sometimes rebooting helped and sometimes i had to uninstall and install it...

Yeah, a restart fixes it temporarily, but it's a pain having to restart every time to get it to work properly. :/

It seems to get "stuck" after the screen has been sleeping for longer than 5-10 minutes or so. It's like something stops it from updating itself while the screen is off.

Hi, this trick should help:
1. Uninstall Themer.
2. Delete the /sdcard/MyColorScreen/ folder (removing the Exported folder within it if you saved any themes).
3. Reinstall Themer.
Hope this helps!

Unfortunately that does not work. :/

Just replaced the widget with the regular spotify widget for now until it's fixed. Doesn't quite match my theme, but at least it works for now...

had a few issues with the music widget including the exact same problem,uninstalling and completely removing themer,from the device does not correct the problem,as reported it goes but definately comes back,also while I am on the subject,which I have mentioned before is that the text will not stay where it is placed,in edit mode it will go centre,but as soon as it goes back to normal display it messes up.

[Q] How to disable the lockscreen sound?

There is an extremely annoying sound/notification that plays sometimes when I unlock the lock screen. I've looked in the settings and can not seem to find anything to turn this off. Anyone point me in the right direction here?

Yep, I've tried turning it on and restarting the phone. Then turning it back off and restarting. Also did those steps and pulled the battery. Got frustrated and just reset the phone and still no change. It's weird too because if I simply flick to unlock the screen it doesn't play the sound as often. If I take my time and slide the unlock screen and slowly release the touch then it almost always makes the sound.
Guess I can just live with it till I can through another ROM on it. Probably just an isolated issue within my Sense.

*bump
Sorry to bump this up but it's seriously annoying and I'd rather not take the phone in for exchange.
Has anyone else had this issue or anything even remotely like it? Any other suggestions, etc? I appreciate any help offerings in advance.
The only help I can offer is disabling the Lockscreen all together. At least until we get full root and you can just flash a ROM or figure out what the problem is. Screen Mode Widget (free in the market) will do that
Sent from my PG86100 using XDA App
Has anyone figured this out? It's extremely annoying. It happens every time I unlock the phone.
The lock screen sound setting someone else mentioned in this thread is an additional little beep that gets added on if you have the sound option checked. This noise is completely different and plays regardless of whether or not you have the option checked, or whether or not you have a lockscreen pattern.

I've had the same issue. I've tried uninstalling and reinstalling Maps to see if that helps. So far no other issues, but it's only been a little bit of time. Anyone else? I'm currently on EH03 debloated (courtesy of nitsuj17 I might add).

I have been having this problem for the last month. The only thing that sometimes fixes it is the hold power 30 sec/pull battery then launch maps first.
I have had this issue also. I noticed that clearing the data or cache before using navigation will prevent it from happening.

I have also had this same issue. Everything else on my phone is working fine but Google Nav, Waze, or Sygic all crash with a force close error when trying to launch. Reinstalling the apps doesn't work for me.
I haven't tried Wiping data....It might work but I'd really hate to start over again.
Does anyone have an old version of maps I can install that doesn't have this problem? I've been trying to start up maps first before navigation, but I still get the haptic feedback crash from time to time.
Had to replace Pandora with an older version to keep songs from skipping.
Which version of Pandora did you go back to get the songs to stop skipping? Been having this problem myself. Is it possible for you to post the .apk?
Honestly, I was so fed up with Pandora being nonfunctional, I just grabbed the themed unlocked apk floating around here. The version is 1.3 and I haven't had any of the problems since.

[Q] Help - Detect App(s) randomly turning the screen on

As per the title I get a strange behavior with the screen randomly (every 30 mins) when in sleep mode.
It happens both with data and sync on and in flight mode.
I'm on the latest fw of my intl. S3, I had this issue since the beginning.
I'm rooted.
How can I detect what is causing it? Is there an app?

It happens both via 3G and Wifi (where my ICS Tablet does not have the issue).
More importantly it happens in flight mode.
Thanks but I think it is an app or an OS part.
So, is this the cause ??
Happens with me too, but I am unrooted to try this method.

I had the exact same issue, and the same question a day or two ago.
I did what a previous user stated, I traced back my steps and uninstalled the latest apps I had installed and then installed one by one and found the one causing the problem. Unfortunately I cannot remember which app it was for me, but it can be any one of them.
Guess there must be a way to log all current system activity to a file and once it happens, check the log?

Thinking of taking back my S3 due to force closes??

I've been getting too many force closes with my S3... It happens with many apps and sometimes it just gets stuck for like two minutes which I can't do anything until it comes back. Have you guys had any issues? I don't know weather to take it back or do a factory data reset...

Sounds like something you installed is causing it. Factory reset it. Force Closes are typically software related.
Its happened to me a couple of times as well on the gallery and tapatalk 2 app. It is few and far between so it doesn't affect me too much.

I used to have this problem on my OG Incredible, (haven't yet had it on my S3) and I would usually solve it by uninstalling/re-installing or clearing data on the apps that would force close. If every app is FCing though then it may just be easier to Factory Reset.

I didnt realize that the app had updated and unistalled it (as I have a backup of my apex settings and desktop). Reinstalling it gave me the same broken updated version without the ability to remove the update, so I used titanium backup pro to restore the app and data from 4 days ago and it worked perfectly. The only thing I had to do was re-add my clock widget and google music widget.
wow! wish I would have seen this earlier. Just wiped the system.

I can still use the default launcher on my tablet. If it's not going to take too long for them to fix it I might just struggle on with that. Otherwise I'll wipe and restart with the old version.

Yeah. Mine FCs all the time, as well.
Damn it. I should have checked here first. Now I cleared the cache, then all data in the app, and finally uninstalled to reinstall. Still always crashes.
And now I lost my precious set up
I'm just going to stick to using TW and not uninstall the update or clear my settings until they fix it. I'd hate to have to re-do everything :/

I dont have a settings option from within the drop down notification bar
had to wipe and reload from backup and quickly jump to play store and turn off download for APEX until they fix it :/
I just downloaded the update. Seems to be fixed now
edit: like someone else in the market mentioned, the app appears to be a little slow. Choppy transitions, etc. Tried a reboot and nothing. Clearing my defaults seems to have fixed the issue, but restoring my settings makes it slow again. Gonna re-do all my settings and hope the choppiness goes away.

It is slow.because of the standard wallpaper scrolling. I turned off wallpaper scrolling and the.performance seems better. But I,usually use stock for the weather widget.

Ok so my phones been bugging me about the 1.3.1 update and I tried to install it. It was failing because it said the same app with a different signature was already installed. So I went to uninstall the previous version if Apex and I did, thinking it was just the update....well it seems like it uninstalled the whole app because I have no homescreen now and no way to get to my files to install 1.3.1.
Any ideas on how to fix it? Hopefully I dont need to wipe and reflash....

If you have access to a PC and WiFi you can try to push the new file through Chrome to phone. Worked for me to get Nova installed when Apex crashed. Install the Chrome to phone add on, go to the Play store from your PC, download the new Apex launcher and select the Chrome to phone icon. It should load on your phone fairly quickly. If that doesnt work push Nova the same way to get your phone stable then reinstall Apex.

Awesome that worked thanks. There had to have been something wrong with the old one anyway because when I would try to go to the play store on the phone to update the old one it would say it was up to date even though Apex was telling me to update and the phone claimed to have 1.2.5
Oh well all is good now....
