Hello flyer users,
This afternoon I managed to get my flyer stuck on the "Red Triangle" with "Exclamation Mark" as I was playing with "adb".
Now to get out of the dreaded screen, you do not need to remove the battery as we do with other devices - especially because, as I have been told, you CANNOT remove it.
What you need to do to leave the red triangle screen is the following:
1. Press Volume up (the "+" sign on the side) and the Power Button.
2. Select "Reboot system now"
That is it, that is you done, and your flyer reboots as normal.
Here's another tip...
I keep activating the keyboard in the notes app or hitting one of the capacitive buttons because my hand always goes down before the stylus.
I found that by putting the thumb of my offhand somewhere on the screen in a non activating area, it stops my hand from triggering the capacitive buttons and the screen. Much easier to start writing. and I don't have to worry about stuff activating if I lift the pen too high either.
-Mike
Good tip. I have the same problem with the capacitive buttons in Notes.
Random launcher reboots?
Several times today, my Flyer would go to a white screen that shows the HTC logo and restart what I belive is called the launcher. All my widgets would read "loading" and reload.
Anyone else seeing this?

Yeah I got this a few times. Usually it is due to low memory and the android OS clearing the launcher from memory... but this thing has 1GB of ram...
I read that perhaps not having the Task Manager auto-load on startup might help, as Android versions like Gingerbread don't really need a Task Manager.
I might try running without it.

But upon start up theres only about 150 megs free.
Useless tip,
If you do a long and fast swipe across the home screen, it spins through more than 1 screen. I never noticed this before today
Here is another saver.
The FriendStream widget for some unknown reason would not show all the usual text in twitter and facebook posts.
I tried to recover or repopulate it by rebooting the device, tried re-sync, nothing was doing.
SOLUTION was deleting the widget, and then putting it back on its homescreen, and everything was back.
I had feared I lost my twitter and facebook messages.
Had to laugh at this one! Thanks Useless tip,

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 managed to get the settings icon back! I rearranged my icons a few times and put it next to one of my double clock icons and there it was! I did a factory reset. So far so good...... not sure what causes the problems below but I will leave this post unless a moderator wants to delete this thread for me ●●●●●
Hi all. Got a few problems with my Gear Fit... I want to do a factory reset but cannot! Honestly want to upgrade to a different smartwatch soon but for now I will have to work with this. I am disappointed in lack of apps that work with this but I LOVE the touch screen and features it does have...
1. No settings icon to factory reset my device. Thought there was a physical reset button on underside which I pressed in with a pin but nothing happens when I do. I held it down too... maybe not long enough? Does anyone know how long?
2. When I scroll in one direction its an infinite loop. Does not even show home screen with clock on it most of the time... instead there is an infinite loop as in the same 3 icons show over and over and over as I scroll....
3. Sometimes when scrolling, part of the clock shows on left half of the screen and its stuck there while the other half scrolls. Still no settings icon!
4. Also when I use the Gear Fit Manager on my S3, it shows 2 clock icons which I can drag and reorder but it only leaves a gap in the icons on the Gear Fit itself... looking at it horizontally should show 3 icons across but it will show 2 with a blank spot where 3rd icon would be.... sometimes I can see the clock but most times I cannot.
I wanted to contact samsung about these issues through email but I cannot seem to get there. I dont see any choice for smartwatches and model number so therefore I cant seem to figure how to send an email to the correct department.
Hope I can reset and start over before I end up getting mad and throwing it across the room!
I originally posted this in the AW forum, but no one has answered up. Anyone know? Thanks!
I'm sure this is a simple fix, but it has confounded me, so I turn to you for some help. How do I get the Moto on the latest version of AW to vibrate like normal, but rather than display the full screen notification, just the smaller card across the bottom? There are times on the 46,, Moto I don't want the message displayed without me swiping up to display it. I've looked all over and I can't find that setting.
I can see the whole "hide cards" and what not, but when I get a new notification, it fills up the entire screen.
Thanks in advance!
I don't think you can disable that, it's how wear works
I need some advise, i have a few questions about the phone which i have been trying to sort out without success.
1) Is there anyway to move the google search bar at the bottom of the home screen ? I cant get rid of it or move it at the moment
2) I cant get rid of the date and time at the top of the home screen. Usually you press and hold and drag up to delete
3) I tried to work around the top 2 questions by selecting a different home screen but i cant seem to do it. Is it possible ? I press and hold an empty part of the screen to select Home screen setting but that's as far as i get. Also tried pitch and anything else that came to mind. I can not delete a home screen either.
4) Icons don't fit and leave a white boarder around the edges.
I also tried a launcher which seemed to help the first three points but the icons still didn't fit
Will it still have badge counters next to the icons or missed calls on screen? What are the pros and cons of using a launcher?
Thanks in advance
