Hi,
I've installed an older version of BW clock onto my Open Home page however, the animations are not working and it sometimes is force closing.
I have reinstalled but still no joy.
Anyone know if it actually does work on an alternative home screen or do you have to use only on the normal HTC one. (I would suggest pretty pointless if that was the case).
Can anyone advise?
Thanks
Ok so I have a very annoying problem with my evo. Everytime I restart the phone, the icon to any app that I have on my homescreen that is also saved on the sd card does not show up once my phone has restarted. In place of the icon is a standard android icon that takes me to the market when touched. I know that a simple fix is simply just to change the scene then change it back again to make the icons reappear, but it's such a hassle to have to do it everytime. Does anyone else have this problem, and does anyone know how to prevent it from happening so I dont always have to change the scene every time?
Put the apps back on the phone.
This is a gingerbread problem and I don't know why google hasn't done anything about it. It worked fine on Froyo on the 0g evo but as soon as gingerbread came out it appeared. The same thing happens if you use a widget for an app that you've moved to the SD card. After a reboot the widget will be disabled. Hopefully google will fix some day. It seems to be a problem with the sd card not being recognized before the apps and widgets are loaded on the homescreen. Maybe a change in the bootup sequence would help where the sd card is recognized before the home screen is rendered.
Ok guys here is a weird one..
My mother just got an HTC Flyer, and it is still stock / not-rooted. I did an OTA update as soon as the Flyer was set up and ready to go. Its running Gingerbread 2.3.4 and the build is now 2.23.405.4 CL104635. I installed LauncherPro for her as Sense is a bit laggy, and she recently started having a problem where the tablet keeps forgetting its default home launcher.
I narrowed the problem down and basically this is what happens. No matter which launcher is set as default, as soon as you pull down the notification bar all default launcher settings are cleared. You can tick the 'use by default' box again, and switch between and use apps to your hearts content, and pressing home will bring you back to your homescreen, but as soon as you pull the notification bar down, pressing home asks you which launcher to use.
Obviously the first thing I did was go to settings > applications > manage applications and clear defaults for either HTC Sense launcher, or LauncherPro, neither of which work. I've tried apps like homesmack, homeswitcher and cleardefault, none of which make any difference.
This is a bizzare problem, and again I say, it is easily reproduced by simply pulling down the notification bar
Any ideas?
Very wierd. I use ADW EX Launcher on my Flyer and have no such problems but I see no reason that other launchers should not behave properly.
I've tried various other launchers, and even did a factory reset, but the problem is still there. When trying any launcher besides HTC Sense, the default home is instantly forgotten when the notification bar is pulled down, and I am forced to choose between the two launchers EVERY TIME. 'Use by default' is useless.
I'd like to avoid rooting for now for the warranty, but I don't see any other option!
This is driving me insane! Come on guys, any suggestions?
my wife's incredible just started doing this exact same thing last night. I have no idea what caused it, and no idea how to fix it. Making me absolutely crazy. Going to try and backup her stuff and factory reset it.....it worked fine until yesterday.
have you tried Home Switcher app or similar?

Easy solution... unlock the bootloader and put Honeycomb on it, as per globatron's instructional thread. It's pretty straightfoward.
Lol, not on an incredible.

Totally missed that part . Wasn't expecting people to talk about problems with the Incredible in the Flyer forums haha
Thank goodness, I'm not crazy. I have the exact same problem and it was (is) driving me nuts, but I couldn't figure out that pulling down the notification bar was the event caused this.
It's rather odd, because I'd been running Go Launcher EX for a month or two without any problems, then this prompt started happening a week or two ago. I cleared launcher defaults, reset them, etc. So I decided to try ADW. Still: same problem. Uninstalled Go Launcher EX, still the same problem (with ADW still installed).
I have a stock HTC Sensation running Sense 3.0 on Android 2.3.4. I don't remember seeing any updates come down for Sense or Android when the problem started, but perhaps I don't recall something. I wonder if a recent update to Launcher Pro caused the issue that stuck around even after being uninstalled? I don't really want to do a factory reset to try getting a clean machine that never Go Launcher installed.
I'm still frustrated by this problem which I haven't been able to solve. I know Sense adds things to the notfication bar like the "Quick Settings" tab. There must be some part of Sense that is activated when the bar displays causing the issue on the next press of the home key.
If any of you have found a solution, please post!
Thanks
I am having the same issue. Running stock Android 2.3.4 on my HTC Rezound. Also on my HTC Thunderbolt. Both when running CyanogenMod and HTC Sense. Also my mother-in-law has an EVO 4G running CyanogenMod doing the same thing. Its frustrating and I have tried eeverything but call HTC themselves. Its frankly starting to piss me off.
If anyone finds a solution, please let us know.
I have the same issue with HTC EVO 3D. Pulling down the Notification bar or Long Press the Home button would reset the Default launcher. I also found out that if I take out my sd card, it doesn't happen any more but I couldn't live without the sd card.
I have the same problem. But only opening notification bar clears default launcher on my HTC Evo 3D (not long home button press). I don't have my Evo rooted because of warranty and too early state of alternative ROMs. Removing SD card didn't help in my case.
Please help, it makes me crazy. I tried factory reset but this problem is now back after few weeks and after installing my favorite 150 applications only into internal memory. So avoiding SD card didn't help and I also don't know the reason.
Hey all.
Anyone having issues with adding widgets on screen?
Whenever I add a widget its invisible.
If I hold down on space to resize it selects widget outline but still invisible. I can drag outline to delete it but Still cant see it.
I either need to reboot phone or wait like 5mins and eventually it will show.
Its really annoying !
Happened to me just once with a Factory Widgets clock. It occured after playing with many widgets for some time (downloading, testing and removing).
It never occured again.
My advice: Restart your device and try again. If it does not solve the problem, maybe you need to reset your Razr.
Hi guys.
Got my shiny new S III a week or so ago and I'm loving the smoothness. I had some early teething troubles when it locked up and I had to pop the battery; I never did work out what was causing it, but it hasn't done it again recently. Maybe I was making it tired by reloading all my apps!
My current problem is minor but odd. I prefer a local weather app to AccuWeather, so I uninstalled AW (using Titanium). However, when the phone is docked (in a real Samsung desktop dock) and has gone into 'screensaver' mode with the clock flicking to different places on the screen, I'm still getting an AccuWeather.com logo below the clock. What's that about? Any thoughts on how to get rid of it?
Thanks ...
**SOLVED** Although I'd deleted AccuWeather, I still had a couple of weather apps/widgets frozen in TB. Now I've deleted those the AccuWeather URL no longer appears on the desk/dock screen.
