KLWP display/freezing issues on Fold Z 4

Hi,

I haven’t been actively using KLWP this year, but recently, I’ve started to engage with it more frequently. I’ve integrated it with Tasker, which interfaces with Home Assistant to retrieve about six variables. These variables are then displayed in KLWP to show my solar battery status among other things.

However, after each reboot, KLWP disappears. Getting it to work again takes a frustratingly long time as I try various combinations:

  • Usually, to display it, I clear the cache of both apps, then go into KLWP and just hit “Save” to trigger the “Fix Wallpaper” message. After that, I can set it as the wallpaper, which often works, but not consistently. I haven’t found a single method that always works.

  • If I add it to the home screen, it usually refreshes and displays. However, when setting it for both home and lock screens, it might load and refresh once before stalling.

I’ve had to disable and re-enable parallel rendering repeatedly, trying different combinations until KLWP finally functions again. There doesn’t seem to be a consistent pattern to success; it’s more of a hit-or-miss process.

I’ve already read through numerous forums and topics, so no disrespect but please avoid the standard troubleshooting advice like adjusting parallel rendering, setting the correct number of screens, checking battery optimization, and managing permissions among the most suggested.

  • Is there a way for me to access or activate a debug log file or something similar to diagnose what might be causing these issues?
  • or obviously if someone knows the problem and the fix do tell.

No one? Do devs watch these forums?

There is only one dev and I’m guessing he’s always busy, so it might take a while for him to get around to reading all the topics

I emailed support about this exact issue almost 3 months ago. I also have a z fold 4. It started the day I received the push for One UI 6.1.1.

I went through the typical “did you try” scenarios then was asked to send a bug report, which they were going to forward to Frank (the dev) and was told, “hopefully it will be resolved in the next update”.

Looking at watch, tapping foot

I’ve had to completely stop using KLWP, which is disappointing since I’ve been using it for literally years and have so much time invested into it. The constant force stop, open, save, set as WP fix, just to have the whole thing freeze up again 30 seconds later was too frustrating. KWGT works fine though.

Yeah they replied that I got from support was less than useful. And I don’t mind it takes time to solve at this point I’ll just be happy if someone will acknowledges the issue… Anyways about for a refunds with Play store.
