Sometimes when I hit the home button all I get is my background and rosie does not refresh, however, if I go to the task killer and kill all the tasks then click the home button it will work properly. How can I find out what task is causing this? Also sometimes when I wake my phone by pressing the power button the lockscreen is all black. When I slide up where I imagine the ring to be it still unlocks. Any ideas? Also, I've tried multiple roms and this ends up happening to all that I've tried. Not sure what app would be causing this. Also using Net's kernel, not sure if that would cause it.
Idk if its your unit or what but if its that serious just clear the defaults on the sense application and HTC lockscreen application and anything else you'd think is causing this. If its your unit and you care that much then get it replaced
Warning: idk if clearing the sense app will change the homescreens back to default
If all else fails, back everything up and perform a Factory Reset. Then run it with just the basic apps for a while. If it seems fine, then start reinstalling your apps one by one. It may be an app causing your issues.
If that doesn't help, then it might be time for a replacement phone.
Hi Everyone,
I have searched the forum for possible solution to my issue, but I am not able to find anything that is relevant or something that I am willing to do.
What I am trying to do is to delete a blank homescreen on TouchWiz.
My set up is:
1. Samsung Galaxy S3 - International (Philippines)
2. I installed the Sept 9, 2012 leak via Odin without clearing my phone. I just have it installed as instructed.
3. It was working fine, until I mindlessly went to recovery mode and wiped my phone data - reset.
4. I have to reinstall all apps.
5. When I was happy with my four homescreen setup, I was trying to delete the extra home screen that I dont need or want.
6. Drag the empty homescreen to trash, and boom. It crashes.
I have done the following:
1. I have cleared the cache of touchwiz, and I did my home screens again. Still not able to delete the extra home screens.
2. I have wiped my phone for the second time, this time settings > back up and reset > factory data reset
3. Reinstalled all my apps again
4. Did my homescreen thing, and was able to delete the extra home screen. Yay!
5. I was trying to call, but instead of pressing the call button from the bottom row, it moved it to NEW homescreen. I moved it back to where it was, and now I'm stuck again with a fifth unnecessary homescreen.
6. When I try to delete the extra homescreen, the trash will not turn red, and will just crash.
I don't want to reset my phone again. I have cleared the cache of the homescreen several times (settings > application manager > all > TouchWiz home > Clear data).
I'm sorry if this question has been asked before, or was already addressed, but I am unable to find the solution as to how I can delete the extra home screen without resetting my phone for the nth time.
Thank you in advanced,
Regards,

TouchWiz crash JB XXDLI8
same problem here with an austrian SIII.
updated from DLI6 by 1st flashing Easy_Jelly_Base.XXBLG8-XXLH1_Odin.tar as a base
and then updating the I9300XXDLI8-OTA-I9300XXBLG8_BTU_297718496.zip via recovery. (w/o wipe!)
everything works pretty well and speedy except removing empty homescreens results in a crash of the touchwiz.
so i guess it´s "just" a bug and we´ve to wait for DLI9.
regards,
George

Not 100% sure on a solution to this, but you could try fixing permissions, as well as wiping your delvic cache and cache in recovery.
Alternatively you could also use APEX or NOVA Launcher as a substitute to Touchwiz...
Try flashing modded touchwiz launcher from themes and app section. It works flawlessly

Just to add to this, I've got the 'out of box' jb on my Vodafone UK Samsung galaxy s3.
It's not been rooted, just has the stock touchwiz. Same thing happens for me since the jb update.
Looks like it's possibly a touchwiz bug.

Solution to this has been found, in developer settings you have to enable the animation scale. Even setting it to 0,5 speed is OK.
Technically it's not a solution since it will happen if animations are turned off, but it's an easy and good workaround.
It worked for me
Thanks, it worked for me.

THANK YOU VERY MUCH! Works! Another note: Just enable the animator duration scale to 0.5 and it works! you can set the others to off.

Man, this is the only option that worked for me. Tried other websites suggestion such as clear touchwiz cache (which is a bit of a bugger because it will erase all of your settings) remove battery, animation to 10, and developer options off. The only option that worked for me is animation setting to .5x.
Thanks everyone.:good:
Hello,
I've come here to ask your help on an issue that occured with my recent app menu (in which I mean the menu to change apps when pressing the menu button)
I've always had the stock Samsung multitasking bar, which was black and only came up in a small bar, overlapping my current app partially.
But after trying to fix something that had to to with google play (some app dependencies and patches), I noticed that the multitasking screen had disappeared and instead, it was the normal app switch screen.
I've already tried factory reset with a titanium backup restore from when it worked, but now I'm out of suggestions and I miss the functionality of the bar.
Does anyone have advice or help.
The device is a Samsung Tab Pro 10.1, rooted, stock rom (using nova launcher)
thanks in advance,
Durneztj
Hey all,
Just got my new OnePlusX and the first time I turned it on it prompted all the set up screens. I had to skip through them all because the keyboard would not stay open. It would open and then immediately minimize. Not a great start but no problem, I'll add my accounts and connect to wifi later.
Once I get into the 'home screen' I could see my status bar at the top but no icons and no way to access the app draw. I pressed the capacitive buttons and opened the notification slider which both worked and eventually got into the play store. From here I installed an app or two and got prompted to do a system update, which I did.
After the update I was hoping my launcher would work.. it didn't. The home screen is a black screen with the status bar at the top and no icons - the home button seems to do nothing when I'm in an app and press it.
I installed a third party launcher which worked - I now have a home screen and app draw. However, after opening an app, it crashes after a second or two (chompSMS does this as well as messenger, phone and contacts which are stock apps).
Does anyone have any information about this, what can I do here?
I know one option might be flashing a custom rom but being a brand new phone that should most definitely not be something I have to do to be able to call and message people..
Update: I ran a factory reset and all problems seemed to be resolved now. Not sure what was going on but I guess something happened that a reboot couldn't fix. I'll leave this post in case it helps others.
Have you done a factory reset after the system update??

Yep factory reset fixed it, thanks!
I just noticed today that the Samsung Camera app crashes when I select the "More" to access Pro, Slo-Mo, etc when I am in landscape mode. If I am in Portrait mode it works just fine. If I have More options open and rotate to landscape, the app will crash as well. Any ideas on how to fix this issue?
Try clearing system cache.
Clear cam app data.
Maybe a firmware glitch waiting for an update.
-or-
If the cam app has been updated try uninstalling the update.
Try in safe mode to see if a 3rd party app is causing it.
Try a hard reboot (simulates pulling the battery) not a factory reset!
Be glad you don't have spen glitches

Everything has been tried except Safe Mode (and of course glitch update) and of course a factory reset. No biggee. Once I select one of the options under "More" I can rotate into landscape with no issues. It is only when I go into the menu to make a selection that I experience the issue. Once the phone gets updated to Android 12 I was planning on doing a factory reset anyway so I will see how that goes. Thank you for the input.
