Make sure widget auto add is off in market in settings. More importantly on of your apps is doing it. I'd suggest looking at your added apps. One is doing it.

Folder problem

Can anybody tell me how to fix this annoying problem? I've created 3 folders in menu to separate my games, app and multimedia app from each other. Everytime i turn off my phone to charge it,when i turn it on all the icons from my 3 folders are out of them. They do not stay in treir folders! It' s really really annoying to sort them everytime. It's like my phone cannot remember this task.I have stock 2.3.5.

Two suggestions:
1. Go to Settings menu => Applications => Manage applications => All => TwLauncher => Clear data.
You may have to reboot your phone.
2. Use another launcher app, such as Nemus Launcher from the Market to organize your apps.
App folders are also possible.
Good luck !
I don't have twlauncher

We all have Twlauncher on stock rom... Have you looked in the 'ALL' tab in the manage application settings?
Sent from my GT-I9100
Yes,I've looked in All (it's between "downloaded" tab and "on sd card tab"). It's not there. Maybe that is my problem. Can I add it or something?
As i said I'm on stock(orange carrier) 2.3.5.

Jeez... I almost spewed my tea when I read this. Reason: I had the same problem, and couldn't figure it out. I ended up disabling and reenabling apps in App Manager (it worked). Can't believe I was so stupid, LOL...

Why does my phone only show one new notification per app?

If I have 2 notifications from the same app, the first one disappears and the second one takes its place in the status bar. Is there a way to change this?
Do you have a ROM installed. Or any tweaking apps?

No, completely stock. All my apps are pretty standard stuff, I think the one that does it the most is the bank of America app. As I'm typing this I'm realizing that most other apps give me all notifications. So it's not all apps doing this, just some. Is that part of how that particular app was written or is it a phone setting somewhere?

Floating Notifications....app

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=robj.floating.notifications I ran into this the other day and thought wow this works really well espcially for mycolorscreen set up i have curretnly with no status bar or anyting was really liking, i believe this is to replicate the "holo" feature on cm rom's you guys tried this what do you guys think??
So ive seen this out for a while now, and thought it was some cheesey knockoff version of Holo. I said to myself why waste my time. Then seeing this thread, and being bored I just gave it a go. Boy am I glad I did, ive run AOSP roms with holo and its still nothing compared to this. This is like simple multitasking amd they can be hidden whenever! Much better!
Thanks for being the one to make me finally try this out!

Been running it since build 2...big fan. It's great for quick views of emails/text etc when watching a movie or playing a game without having to exit and go to the app directly. You can view the header and then decide if you want to respond or not.
Really good find. can't wait to play with this
I made a youtube video about this when it was in beta stage. The developer is in the android apps and games forum. This is good stuff even for people that arent rooted. :thumbup:

Put myself in hot-reboot city last night. Enabled this in accessibility, rocking Beans 18 and AOSP lock screen - just started hot booting to the lock screen. Touch the lock - cycle repeats. Pulled the notification bar to get into settings and turned it off. It stopped.
I'm guessing AOSP lock screen + Xposed status bar + this checked in accessibility = no bueno.

I don't see how that would cause hot boots.....

Same exact set up (minus xposed status bar) and had the same issue with rebooting. Issue started 5 minutes after installing the app and allowing accessibility. Issue stopped after I deleted the app. Gonna try to see if I can change a few things to get it working.

Me neither, but it does! Lol. Trust me. I was eating a queasadilla and didn't see it coming.
I don't think it likes my xposed setup.

The issue is AOSP lockscreen and Accessibility settings. If you're on standard TW lockscreen, there are no problems. Had the same issue with LightFlow previously.
The only thing I have a problem with, and its probably something that cant be fixed is when I get the bubble on the lock screen and click on it ot doesnt unlock. Any fix for this?

click it and then click the actual text it self should pull the app up or the notification up... if i remember right

Good to know.
I assumed as much, but I love the AOSP lock screen. No lock/pattern AND music controls. Plus, the clock looks cleaner.
How well does this app work without accessibility turned on? Or does it? I flipped it on at about 2 am and messed around for about 15 mins before I started my trip to Las Bootsville, so I didn't get any notifications then.

Don't think it does with accessibility checked

Caused my phone to freeze up too. Didn't try this fix but will give it a try and see what happens. I hope it works.

[Q] What on earth is this icon?

I have looked, and looked, and looked, and I cannot find among ANY of the myriad Android "What is this icon??" threads spread around the world a description of this round, volume-knob looking thing.
There's nothing in the status or notification panels which seem to be connected to it, and I have no idea what it's trying to tell me.
Anyone?
Thanks,
R
PS See attached screenshot of the top of my screen...
Are you running some sort of sound booster/amplifier? It looks familiar but I can't remember what app it may have been.
Have you tried to uninstall apps to see if it goes away?

I've never downloaded any apps from the play store that put an icon there. Most icons that get put there are from system apps.

I have a couple - JuiceDefender and My Data Manager will put icons there, but they're configurable.

A couple, but mostly I've looked through the 'running apps' and there's really not anything in there I don't recognize (or want to uninstall). I might, if it really gets to bother me.

I don't think so... although now I wonder.
It's just the Debloated stock ICS. I don't think he stuck anything weird in there - only took it out.
Thanks for all the input!

Really, I've downloaded and tried all sorts of apps and have seen icons placed on the task bar.... Juice defender as mentioned... Battery guru... Etc. It seems like I tried a volume+ app that placed a similar icon. However I haven't confirmed that since I no longer have it installed. Usually you can opt out of having an icon placed on the bar.
Sent from my ADR6400L using Tapatalk 4
I'm saying I've never seen a downloaded app put an icon on that side of the bar and I'm not saying they can't put one there.
Sent from my ADR6400L using Tapatalk 2
There is a blank app icon between that icon and the other. It's not connected to the system icons. If you look closely at the spacing you can tell.
