Hope someone can help here
Frequently when I have been either typing an email ot text message, when I return to the home screen some of the widgets disappear and then reappear very quickly.
This is damn annoying, especially for a phone that is supposedly fast.
Surely this is not right?
Running t-mobile stock firmware, have not changed a thing.

The pop up (one that shows the text and you are able to reply) sometimes will stay centered, and when the keyboard pops up(to reply) you can't see the text.
Handcent pop up is supposed to go to the top of the screen, how can I make it go to the top all the time? I didn't have this issue pre 2.1
Same thing here, quite annoying...
bump, looking for help still
Same thing happens to me (even with 1.6) if I play a game or have another app running.
Its not all apps though, just some of them.
Hey guys,
Any idea why the keyboard icon sometimes appear on the bottom of my CHT lockscreen? I does not happen on regular basis but it is a bit annoying because it's actually a working button that can be accidentally activated by movement.
I have experienced this on three different ROMs so far. Elegancia and Omega v21 & 22.
And it also looks awful on such tuned-up picture I've got there...
Thanks!
happens to me (and i use the default windows lockscreen.) haven't figured out a solution. tis quite annoying.
I have a feeling that it only appears when there's an app in memory that uses the keyboard. Like email or messaging client and others... I'll give it further testing!
I agree, this is frustrating to deal with. Has anyone found a solution?
i forget what its called exactly, not using winmo, but if you turn off the CHT custom softkeys i think that fixes the unlocked bottom part of lockscreen.
I have seen it very very few times using PocketShield. You might want to try it.
I think everyone gets this........ seems to happen every other time I wake up my phone, gotten so used to it its not even an issue anymore....
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!
I am suddenly unable to add widgets to my home screens. I am running the stock ROM. I have several empty screens, so there is plenty of room to add. After selecting the widget from the list, the phone goes to the screen showing all the available screens really small and has the "touch to edit or remove" at the top. If you pick one, nothing gets added. This phone is really getting frustrating. I have done 2 factory resets in the past couple of months to deal with problems with the keyboard not responding (using swiftkey). It takes hours to get everything back the way it was before. I am about ready to bite the bullet and pay full freight for a replacement phone. My upgrade isn't available until November. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Cross over to the dark side and try a ROM?

You can back up your data and settings so that at least you can save that time, or make a nandroid depending on why you're doing the factory resets.
MyBackup Pro or Titanium BU will do the trick.
I don't know why you're having issues with widgets. Are you grabbing it and then moving it up to the screen you want it on? Then just drop. Drag and drop. You get the edit and remove at the top if you already have the widget on the screen and long press it. I've never seen the edit and remove at the point where you drag and drop the widget.
I tried the new swiftkey for flow and I didn't like it. If you're using the flow version you might try swype. Some people don't like it but for me it's smooth as butter and swiftkey was driving me crazy. I don't tap though, always swype.
Are you updated to the latest version then? Been taking all the OTAs?
I have thought about trying a new ROM., but the root process seems too complicated for me to wrap my head around. And having the time to sit down to figure it out is another issue. It won't let me drag widgets to the screen like you can app icons. You have to long press a blank spot and work through the menus. I am planning to just do the reset this weekend when I have some time. Thanks for the suggestions.
Turned out my problem was Snowfall Live wallpaper. I have used it for a couple of years with no issues, but that was the culprit. No problems with widgets since I uninstalled it.

Hello everyone!
I've got some questions about my galaxy S2.
I have my device for about a month now and decided to root it (ICS).
I installed GO launcher and for some reason it appeared in my task manager and i swiped it away by accident and thats where the ~ started
Got a black homescreen, rebooting didn't help so i thought well this is some kind of brick?
Yesterday i downloaded the pre-leaked 4.1.2 jelly bean (as belgium still doesn't have the official update) and put it on my device. I think it's dated from early november 2012.
Everythings working fine now but i have a few questions about changing some settings i don't seem to find or that don't work.
1.) Text message app:
The chat bubbles seem larger and the text in it too compared to ICS (if i remember it correctly). Is there any way to make make the font size even smaller than the default "extra small" which is quite large in my opinion. I don't want to use another messaging app and i tried a few apps to change font size but they didnt change it inside the messages app.
2.) Message buzzer:
When recieving a message my phone buzzes very hard and loudly for about a whole second eventhough i put it on heartbeat :s
Any idea how to fix this?
3.) Notification bar:
When sliding down the notification bar the upper row of switches always is in the middle position and then scrolls sideways to the first switch automatically, is this normal? and is there a way to change this?
4.) Go Locker:
When pressing a button to open the lockscreen my touch doesnt always respond. Need to lock it again, light up the screen again and then i'm able to swipe the screen. Normal?
Thanks in advance
I'd answer your questions one by one but i'm gonna make an aseveration instead.
It's normal, you'll get used to it, use the vol rocker to change the size.
You're on the leak, you can flash the netherlands ROM if you like, it's jb final.
Some of the apps that worked so well on ICS won't work the same way because of the different OS and lack of app upgrade.

dun use go launcher/ go locker if u feel that it is the cause. go launcher is known for it's big memory hogging/ overeater. try buzz launcher :cyclops:
@gastonw i know about the volume button but it doesn't go as small as before
@cyelanius i have no trouble with the memory usage, dont see much diff in batery life and i'm not a gamer on this device
Thanks for the replies anyways
Trust me, you'll get used to; I did.
