Just recently got a refurbished phone from Sprint. Has been working fine except whenever I try to take a screencap in specific apps, or on the unlock screen it doesn't work. Just turns the screen off without taking the pic. Works every other time I try to use it except when I try on the unlock screen and in dolphin browser (also had experienced the problem on one other app anytime I tried to screenshot, but deleted the app.)
I've uninstalled and reinstalled dolphin several times, and have hard reset the phone. Same problem of not being able to screencap on same apps and the unlock screen. Could this be a problem with the phone itself? It has become quite annoying because dolphin is my preferred browser, and I'm having to open the stock browser whenever I'm wanting to grab a pic.

Got a gtab few days ago and installed vegan ginger. Mostly good and working, but a few minor issues:
1. Everytime i reboot the tab wifi is off even if on when shutdown. Each time i turn on i must manually turn on wifi.
2. Dolphin hd browser crashes a bit often, but each time it happens i do not get force close message or application killed message, i get no message. It just disappears and when i relaunch none of the tabs i had open are there, so its defintly auto closing for some reason.
3. Even with market fix i am missing some popular market apps. So far i have seen i cannot find official ebay or amazon app, and clicking links for those from app brain, when it trys to take me to market for the app it says cannot find it.
Also nowinstock product links in browser say page cannot be displayed, but on my home windows 7 pc the links work fine.
If it's a fresh install, you might have to nvflash it and start over.
I don't have any of your problems on my Ginger yet.
also dd you do a factory reset after installing? i forgot to do it on mine and it was hung on boot up for a while. then it hit me and after everything was working great.
I did both wipe data and wipe cache after loading the rom, is there another step for factory reset?
I just installed Firefox version 4.0.1 on my DroidX2 and it keeps causing my phone to reboot. I am able to open the application, and the home page loads. However when I click the address bar and the keyboard appears on the phone, it locks up for ~ 1 - 2 minutes, and then it either automatically reboots or I have to pull the battery. I am using the default keyboard.
Is anyone else experiencing this problem or is it only me?
I haven't tried Firefox on my X2, but I had the same thing happen on my DPro. I could never get it to work. Give Dolphin HD a try.
I tried Dolphin on my original Droid, however I heard you could share your bookmarks across Firefox, so I can have the same bookmarks at work, home, and phone. That would be a nice feature. Is there a way to import bookmarks from a desktop into any browser for an Android?
Long form:
I am using an LG Enlighten, not as a phone but simply something to connect to hotspots with, check my email, and such things. Since I was not doing anything vital with it, I didn't put much thought into backing anything up.
Now, irritated with the default web browser, Bing and suchlike, I downloaded a bloatware remover and deleted the browser, along with two or three programs that looked like Verizon bloatware. As it turns out, one of those was my home launcher.
I did back these apps up in the program itself, but that isn't much use since I can't even access the program without a home screen.
I realized what had happened when I pressed Back to get out of the app. Instead, it went to the last app I had used. And then the one before that, and before that, and so on. I tried to keep pressing back until it would take me to the market, where I could open up the bloatware removal app and restore the backups, but eventually I came to a black screen where I could do nothing at all.
I turned off the phone, and was unable to turn it back on without performing a factory reset. Now, the phone goes to the Activation screen, and I am able to connect to USB, but that's it. The escape sequence won't bring me to the home screen - the launcher is apparently still gone.
Do you know of any way to resolve this issue?
Short form:
Is there a way that I can restore the home launcher?
Search for the stock firmware and flash it...
Agreed. At this point, your best chance is to flash a ROM, if you're rooted.
Thanks. I take it that root carries through a hard reset?
Edit - I have to admit that I can't figure out how to access the bootloader on this phone. I had tried volume-down + camera, but that prompts a hard reset.
You could also try getting the launcher apk and push it via adb.I even think it doesn't have to be the stock launcher

Hi All,
I have 2x Galaxy S3's, a work one and my own one, my personal one is rooted (to allow titanium backup to do it's thing), it also has ClockworkMod running on it. It's got the stock rom still.
I'm an android developer day to do, and now when developing my app, if I'm using my work phone and it crashes on the phone it says Your App has crashed, click okay to force close.
However, on my rooted phone it doesn't do that, it just crashes and I have to restart the phone just stays with the notification top bar still there and working (clock changes and can see wifi sending/receiving) . But i can't close the app, can't use the home button etc
Does anyone know the solution to this? It's quite infuriating at times.
youtube link + ?v=3mawem-refw here's a video of it happening
When i open pretty much any app, it either crashes or continues to function properly EXCEPT when it needs a keyboard. For example Chrome, I try to type in a web address and then it just sits there waiting for the keyboard to open, before crashing. This is also happening with games, Such as Clash Of Clans, which crash upon loading.
I'm not running any 3rd Party Launchers/Keyboard, completely stock HTC Sense.
I was running Themer but uninstalled it about 2 weeks ago
I was running SwiftKey (legit) when this started, I turned it off, and has done nothing, apps still crash etc.

Is your phone rooted? This happened to my friend (keyboard wasnt working, apps crashing) because he flashed the wrong gapps into CM 10.2, but i know you said it is completely stock sense. If you didnt root or flash an incorrect gapp, I would factory reset. If you do, BACKUP first. There might be a better solution than my kind of last resort deal, but it shouldn't hurt.
