Title: weird issues
Post by: Melliejoy on April 15, 2013, 07:40:32 AM
So this evening began like no other, until a few strange issues started plaguing my Nexus 7. Firstly the owner picture won't update. of course I've restarted my rooted device (no custom ROMs or anything) but to no effect. secondly I can no longer add Widgets to my homescreen. a few were successful but now whenever I try to add one it takes me to the associated app or link, and then back to the widget/app drawer.


Any ideas?

Do you have a backup of when you first rooted? Might have to go there. Have you installed or done anything new or out of the ordinary recently that might be the culprit? I usually look at what i have installed or uninstalled in the last week and start there.

The owner picture is part of Google Plus right? What happens when you try and update it? Errors?

Long press the photo in settings/users to change it. I don't know, is there a memory limit for installed widgets? Delete some and try again. Anything listed under device administrators?

Hey guys thanks for your replies. Interestingly enough the widget issue has resolved itself. I tries deleting a couple of widgets and then re-adding them and everything worked smoothly after that. (I only had two per screen but oh well.. )
As for the owner picture I went into my Google plus app and found it had been disables (I'd been logging in via the website) and when I re-enabled it the photo updated.

Thanks again for your help guys. :)
