Galaxy S5 :: Nova Launcher - Letters And Numbers On Pin Lock Screen Turning Into Solid White Blocks
May 1, 2015
I have a Samsung Galaxy S5. Its not rooted. But I am running Nova Launcher as my default launcher. It causes my lock screen to kinda glitch out. The letters and numbers on the pin lock screen are turning into solid white blocks. I know if I restart my phone, it fixes it. But I'm just curious as to what causes it.
After a while on my phone, my home screen numbers start to turn into white blocks. Then it starts to spread to the actual words on my phone (i.e. the dates). It is fixed by restarting the phone, but is there any way to fix this properly? Is there something wrong with my phone?
Samsung s5 keypad letters and numbers turn into white squares/rectangles and doesnt go away until restarted. I could show a screenshot but theres no upload here.. My phone is 3 weeks old and this happened atlest 2 times already..
I downloaded nova launcher from the play store and I didn't like it i can use the default launcher but it wont let me delete the nova launcher app...
When trying to delete it from play store it says: this app is devuce manager app and it has to be stopped before uninstalling (not 1 for 1 because of translation from hebrew)...
Using Nova Launcher rebooting at night while charging and also changing the wallpaper too?
It has happened two night in a row.
Just trying to figure out what's causing the change of wallpaper while charging at night. Can't figure out what's the cause...just thought Nova was the cause as I googled and saw that Nova has done it before
Nova Launcher will not show widgets in the current iteration. It gives this long winded explanation on how to show widgets. But when I follow it, you can't check the widgets you want.
I just got a galaxy s5, wanted to customize the screens and icons a bit more, read about nova launcher and downloaded. Am very happy with the screens and icons, etc. but ever since I did that I can't use google maps gps. What I try to put in an address to ask for directions it says "turn by turn navigation is only available in these location modes: high accuracy (or) device only" Then you have the option of hitting ignore, which means you still don't get directions, or settings, which takes you to the location section of settings. Location is set to on, but I can't see any place where "high accuracy" is an option and don't remember this ever being an issue with my S3 - which is why I think this is related to the Nova Launcher?how to fix it. I'll uninstall the launcher if I have to but wondering if there is an alternative.
Lock screen today started displaying blank white boxes where there should be numbers and letters, as seen in picture below. It still unlocks fine however.
Upgraded to Lollipop at the weekend so i'm assuming a bug related to the update.
I have been using Nova Launcher on my s5 and really like it. Before I get Nova Prime I was wondering if the unread counts will work using the teslaunread plugin with the Samsung email and Samsung SMS app.
Over the weekend I decided to take a shot with Nova Launcher Prime on my LG G4. One of the things I'd like to do is have a different wallpaper on each of my screens. I've tried using Five Wallpapers, Multi Picture Live and Go Multiple Wallpaper.
My phone was working good. I tried to update the software using SE update service. When I press C and connected the cable the software checked connected phone and replied product can not be identified, remove the cable and reinsert the battery. I did so. But now phone is not working when I try to switch it on, the screen just blinks with a light but no text on the screen. I tried to flash the phone too but it is also not wokring XS++ shows something link this.

I finally got my phone set up the way I wanted it using nova launcher and some icon themes. The first thing I tested was the tap to wake/sleep as I was disappointed to find out doesn't work.
I'd be willing to get a different launcher if it works with the tap feature but my first choice is to get it working with nova.
Ok I have been trying to figure this one out for a few days. I installed Nova launcher and for some reason I cant seem to find the stock messaging app in Nova. It's there in the stock launcher but nowhere to be found in Nova.
I have an HTC One from AT&T, and I just began using Nova Launcher. How can I delete some of the stock apps like FM Radio, Stocks, AT&T apps, etc with Nova Launcher? I've gone into the App menu under settings and disabled a few, but some don't have that option. Is there any easy way to get rid of these unwanted apps?
On, my Samsung 5S,all the numbers on my lock screen are blank square. I can select them and give the right info but it look likes there is a problem with the display.
Whenever I set a wallpaper on my Moto X while using Nova the buttons are in a black bar and it looks like they aren't "on screen." But setting a wallpaper while on the Google Now launcher resolves this problem. It's kind of annoying to have to switch launchers just to change a wallpaper.
I happened to look at the memory section in settings (6.0.1) and noticed my Nexus 6P (not rooted) using an average of 2.3GB RAM within the last 3 hours - 650MB of which was Android OS and Nova closely behind at 350MB - not exactly lightweight. I haven't noticed any issues performance wise (so what's the problem you might be thinking) but my Nexus 6 never used that much for Nova. In fact, with a similar setup I have on the Nexus 6P, I would sit around 1.5GB on the Nexus 6.
I will reinstall and test again but 350MB seems to be a lot in my opinion (which isn't a technical one)...
Having issue where nova launcher "crashes" becomes inactive when coming out of sleep or clicking on the home button? I have had it since upgrading to lollipop. I have the PE version and I just got moto yo send me a code for a new phone but they are showing my walnut backed version as "unavailable" so I'm not too excited about my options.
I've been emailing with teslacoil about this issue but they can't seem to reproduce... I've done a recovery and cleared partition but haven't reset since post lollipop upgrade.
I decided this morning to root my phone and am now realizing that Nova Launcher apparantly doesn't allow you to choose the location of your backup file if you want to restore it..I keep reading that the default location where the backup file needs to be is on an SD card, how could Nova have overlooked this for Nexus 5 owner's?
Role of people using nova launcher on the Nexus 6 phones, do you just your controls and settings menu on Nova Launcher at all? If you do, what kind of district controls do you use? For example, I'm trying to set up the camera icon in my launcher if I swipe up on the camera icon to automatically launch the video camera but I can't seem to get it to work at all.
I try to buy an app from AppStore. To confirm the payment, I have to write in my password (both letters and numbers). The keyboard that pops up has both a number and related letters on each key, but no other 'special keys', How do I toggle between numbers and letters to write my password on this type of keyboard?
I added a ms exchange account from my company and now the options to use a pattern for unlock are greyed out. Also under owners, it shows that exchange account.
Is there a way to get the Widget selection to read correctly (the text appears to be white on a white background)? I know there is a way to do this using methods not supported by these forums but I would like to avoid that if could.
I like that the home button quickly turns the S5's screen on to the lock screen to check the time or for notifications, but unfortunately hitting the home button again doesn't turn the screen back off and I have to reach for the power button. Is there a way to change that?
I wanted to re start my iphone because it was acting kind of slow . I held the home button and the lock button at the same time to re start it . I did it and i saw my apple logo but a few seconds later white letters started appearing on my screen.. i tried re starting it again connecting to itunes but it doesnt recognize it . How to turn it back on?
Every the lock button is pressed the screen turns back on by itself after a few seconds. The same thing happens when the phone is left to timeout. This started occurring after I left my phone to charge overnight and it hasn't stopped since. I've tried running it in safe mode, but the problem still occurs. I have also tried factory resetting, clearing cache, and a simple restart.
