My phone used to go back to sleep after i received a text now it doesn't it only goes back to sleep if i have that puzzle thing on but i hate that someone please help....
search the market for a 3rd party lock screen...
I had a recent issue with this due to a scheduled backup with Titanium Backup. If you use it too just update in the market the new version is supposed to fix it.

So I rooted my Atrix the other day and it's now running version 1.57. Everything is running smoothly expect for 2 things. First, the text messaging. When I receive a text, I'll be notified, but I'll go to the default app and it'll just be an orange circle rotating like it's trying to load. I figured it might just be the app so I installed Handcent and GO SMS Pro...same thing...my notifications will pop up, but when I go to my inbox or to a list of my previous texts I received, NOTHING IS THERE. How in the world do I fix this? I tried looking for a "Default Application" setting thinking that maybe I can clear the default one that came with the phone, maybe that's the issue, but I have no idea where or how to change that setting. The customization I once had on the Android OS seems to be gone.
Also, when I installed the ADW Launcher, I noticed it gave me a completely new keyboard, which is fine and all, but the default keyboard that came with the Atrix would actually rotate with the screen and become bigger if you turned the Atrix sideways...I'm trying to figure out how to get it back or change this setting as well.
Any help would be greatly appreciated! Thanks!
So this is what happened in short. I used Advanced Task Killer app to kill apps to save battery. It worked well for about couple of days. I was careful in what apps to kill. But after my last boot I unintentionally killed some app/task after which i get a "blank screen".
My phone boots normally. I can view my phone screen wallpaper in my locked mode. But when I unlock my phone I get this black area below my notification bar. Only my notification bar works. The menu, home, back and search button do not trigger anything in the black screen. Incoming call is received but i cannot attend them.
I tried multiple reboots. Took off my battery, sim for a few min and booted again. The black screen wont go away. I did a backup using clockwork recovery couple of days back. The last app i installed was Lookout antivirus.
Can someone please guide me how to fix this issue
I will be out for a few hours. I will respond as soon as I'm back. Thank you
Odin back to JFD Stock, Then root and see if that resolves the issue. If it does, then reflash your rom, do not forget to make a backup and save an extra copy on the computer not the phone.
If Flashing Stock does not resolve, then it very likely to be a hardware problem.
what launcher are you using? if its anything besides the gingerbread launcher or twiz then you are probably accidentally killing the launcher you are using and thats resulting in the launcher having to reboot. be very careful with your auto kill settings or set exceptions for your launcher.
you could adb push a different launcher so when you hit home it would ask which one to use and select the new one to gain access.
Hi i resolved the issue by restoring backup. i think killing launcher pro prevented the home screen from launching. Since I could view other thing I hit the power button and then chose Recovery option. It booted in clockwork recovery and I restored a backup I did a couple of days ago and the restore fixed the issue.
Thanks for your inputs.
In the attached pictures you can see two icons in the top left of the notification bar. I want to get rid of or disable the one on the left. They both pop up for an sms for some reason, and I only use the stock messaging app.
The only way to get rid is to pull down the notification bar and press clear.
It serves no purpose to me. I've frozen whatever I could think that was doing it in titanium but I clearly haven't found it.
And either I'm crap at google or no one else has a problem with it, but I'd appreciate any help that can be offered.

When you click on the notification, what app does it open?
What other messaging applications do you have instead of the stock messaging client?
List your Market apps here and we may be able to help.
Seems to me that you have two SMS apps, so the problem will be solved if you disable notification on the other app or uninstall it if you use stock SMS app.
Thanks.
I don't believe I have any separate messaging apps (apart from the likes of Whats App).
I have always used the stock. I did get rid of it before but I can't for the life of me remember how, I recently wiped my phone and started again, restored titanium and it's popping back up. I assumed Titanium would've kept whatever it was frozen.
Easiest way to list my market apps? I have a lot.

Not sure, maybe a few screen shots?
After a little search:
Zemna AppList Backup
Should be able to do a list from what read.
This is driving me totally nuts I have been trying for ages to figure this out and can't get it.
Samsung Galaxy S2 Totaly stock unrooted Android 2.3.5
My home screen had 4 icons at the bottom for quick launch.
Phone contacts messaging applications
Contacts is redundant since you can access that through the phone icon as well and I never use text messages so I swapped 2 of them for other apps so now the home screen is like this:
Phone Gmail Whatspp Applications
This is fine right up until I restart the phone
When it restarts all 4 are there until is "scans usb storage" at which point the gmail icon disappears
I have to manualy change my application tray from list back to grid view and then edit to put the icon back and then put it back in list view
The icon will then stay until the next restart
As I say this is driving me up the wall
Things I have tried:
Full factory reset and reconfigure the phone
Reboot of phone with tray in both list and grid mode
Clear data from twLauncher and set everything back up again
With and without external SD card installed in phone
No matter what I do as soon as I reboot that icon is gone and it always appears to be gmail.
And please I don't want people telling me to install a different launcher or to root the phone. I don't want it rooted and I tried the other launchers and don't like them
Dude - Sorry i dont have advice for you..but im sitting with something similiar..
Non-rooted phone..but when I reboot phone, the bottom icons (tray), get replaced by my last downloaded apps..for example, skype, flashlight and astro file manager...
After the phone has finished scanning they all return back to normal.
Im guessing this is some random bug, as I also tried clearing data from TWLAUNCHER and within time, after downloading some more apps, the same problem occurs.
Cheers

I have a Lenovo P780 dual sim since 1 month, bought on Amazon Germany, but shipped from China.
Have rooted it and added many other apps and deleted them when I didn't like them. I use the Apex Launcher. It has been perfect up until today. I wanted to move new app icons into the dock area underneath the normal home screens. I bought the Pro version of Apex Launcher because I thought the added functionality would allow me to do this. Whether or not this upgrade is the source of my present problems, I do not know.
The problem I now have is that once I unlock the screen, the normal home screen is now blank. If someone calls me the phone app lights up and I can pick-up and talk normally, later check my contacts, see the call and text logs. After the call, pushing the "Home" button briefly no longer works to bring back the home screen. Pushing the "Home" button for a couple of seconds brings up the running apps and lets me close it, then when returning to the "home" screen its blank.
Swiping down from the top allows me to seeing the settings buttons such as WiFi etc as it was before. I can click on the "Settings" icon to open the settings, but if I try to change the "theme" the app responds every time that it has stopped working.... Swiping back up returns the blank screen.
HELP please !!!

Hi. It seems to me that your Apex Launcher have one big proble. Try to install free version and see if this have this problem. Iff not this is a problem... Iff the free Apex have the same problem you need to change your launcher. Search another one on the market.

Sorry Stumpy, but I cannot use your advice. Since I cannot see my home screens, I cannot launch any apps. When I power on my phone I have no access to any apps. However if an email arrives, the GMail email app starts and I can then read and send emails. If I receive a telephone call, the native phone/contact/messages app starts and then I can also use these apps. But I cannot start or see any of the other installed apps, unless it has been prompted to start from outside my phone.
I have backed up all data and applications to my SD card using Titanium Backup before this problem started. I have reset the phone using the internal red button, used the settings menu to restore the data and apps, but nothing helps. I can change the Wallpaper using the Settings icon I can see when I swipe down from the top of the phone but when I try to change the Theme, the Settings app responds with "Unfortunately System UI has stopped". (This always happened since the phone was new - so I then downloaded Apex Launcher to go around this problem)

Hi again. Please tell me what rom do you use. Do you have custom recovery like TWRP or CWM?

Hi Stumpy
I managed to get my phone back!
I used my desktop computer to send myself an email with a link to another launcher (Go Launcher). When the email arrived on my phone I could then click on the link which gave me the chance to open the link using Google Play and then install the new launcher. Once the new launcher was installed, I could see everything again, except that I then needed to put all the apps back in the right places. Wow am I happy !!
Thanks for your time and trying to help me!!

I am glad that you manage to resolve the problem. Be carefull next time when you spend money on apps. Try free versions first time and install custom recovery for your phone. They are the best thing for backup.
