Hi guys.
Something I've noticed happening every now and again, is some Apps moving from one page to another, without my input, and leaving blank spaces in the app grid view. It's been driving me nuts for ages! Has anyone else noticed this, and is there any particular reason?
Cheers
Yeah, I just started a thread on this and worked it out. Go to Settings> Applications>Running Services then click the "All" tab. Scroll down to TwLauncher and clear the data. This will reset your icons, so make a note what you have and where, and once it's setup, it should be good. Worked for me.
Also, does this happen when you either clear memory our reboot phone? If so this should do it. Let us know how you went.

Hey everyone, I hope I'm posting this in the right place. This is my first post, so please be gentle.
Anyway, I was looking through my phone and ran across a "Days" icon under "All" in the "Manage Applications" settings. As you can see, it says 0.00B so I'm assuming it's not doing anything, but when I go inside I notice there's a whole lot of permissions this has. I'm wondering if anybody here knows what it is. I've enclosed a screenshot just in case.
Thanks in advance for taking the time in reading and (possibly) answering my question.
Days is the Days widget for your homescreen. Probably some files are missing. If you want to reinstall, download from this link and install.

Thanks for the quick response.
I'm assuming this is a Samsung stock widget then. I don't have any recollection of ever using it or what it does. It doesn't show up in my Widget list, I'm assuming it's part of their Calendar/Agenda deal.
Thanks again!
I have a Samsung Galaxy S II from Optus.
I have installed all my apps on the phone, changed around settings, added folders etc and made it up the way I like it. Now, randomly or definitely when I switch my phone off and on again, all this changes. Apps move around, folders no longer exist and even after fixing it all and repeatedly saving the changes - it will all stuff up again.
I realise this is a bit of a pedantic problem and I do not want to seem fussy but WHY is my phone doing this? What can I do to stop it?
Many thanks for all your help!

Wat launcher are you using ? Try clearing the data and cache in application and set the icons and folder again.
Hope this helps!
if your using TW - appzorter is handy
Thank you!
I am using TW Launcher. It was the default on the phone.
Appzorter is amazing so thanks for that. I have also cleared the cache and data from all apps so we will see how long this lasts for, if it changes again I will use appzorter to its full extent.
Any reasons why I should change launchers perhaps? I am hearing Launcher Pro may be better..
Thanks again for the help.

Hi,
I have a question about the dock.
When I plug the phone into it, the Samsung Home app gets launched. If I uninstall it, tuneIn gets launched.
Is there a way to set up the phone so no application is launched and it just goes to the Home screen?
I have tried clearing the defaults for tuneIn but it has none.
Thanks.
Try going to Manage Applications, Tunein, and clear data. Then dock, and it should ask what you want to launch. I don't see any way to NOT select something if you've got TuneIn loaded, though (I just tried it). I'd contact their support if clear data doesn't help.
FYI my alarm clock app does the same thing (Kaloer Clock) - their option to disable it doesn't seem to work on the i777, but I just hit home when it launches and deal with it 'cause I like it to much

I'll give it a shot tonight and see if it helps. The weird thing is that Clear defaults is disabled for TuneIn.
Thanks.
I had the same problem with TuneIn as OP. I think it is a bug in TuneIn.
A solution that worked for me was to install Dock No-Op. You can find it here.
Well, clearing data for TuneIn did not work but the No-Op did.
Funny to see a bunch of apps in the market like that one that do nothing
Now the strange problem I'm having is that ADW is going to a page to the right from my default when I drop it in the dock. Oh, well, that I can live with.
Thanks for the help guys.
I'm on CM7 and nothing launches. And it won't charge through the dock. Any idea why?
I'm not really sue. I am waiting for CM9 for my phone.
I use CM7 on my tablet and it charges fine with it's dock.
I hate to suggest this but can you try with a different ROM or phone to check if the dock is not the problem.

Alrighty, thanks for responding
I have a new Galaxy Note running ICS, successfully rooted and with Titanium Backup installed.
TB opens fine and appears to be in order, but I have no "Batch" command. I've read support pages and watched YouTube videos; the option simply isn't in the menu as it should be. Can anyone offer any suggestions, please?
Click on backup/restore and then press the menu button where by it will show you the batch option for backup and restore.

Thanks, but I'm afraid no, it doesn't! The backup/restore menu offers me:
Help & Support
Market capital's
Preferences
Overview of app storage use
Clean up the Dalvik cache
Integrate sys Dalvik into ROM
Undo sys Dalvik integration
Sends data
Import backup
Extract from nandroid backup
Create "update.zip"
Manage Android ID
Refresh app list
Reload application
and
Reboots the device
but not "batch" :crying:
Its the ICON on the top with a rectangle and an arrow symbol on it. Just before the ICS context menu.
The icon on the top of what?!
I'm attaching three screenshots, one showing the backup/Restore screen, the other two showing its menu.
^ In the first pic, it's the 'tick' icon, right next to the search icon.

In your first screenshot, top right you've got the search icon, the one just to the right of that with the tick is the one you want
Edit: waaay to slow should have refreshed before replying...

Star! Thank you VERY much. Problem solved, with gratitude @
Two separate tutorials that I watched on YouTube must've been older versions as their menus looked totally different, plus everything I've read and watched indicated that Batch was part of the menu, which of course is actually isn't! I also managed to discover myself, luckily, that I don't have a "Run the batch operation" command either, just a tiny gren tick!
Cheers again :laugh:
I've had the same problem!
I think it's a case of not seeing the woods for the trees.

Facebookesque "like" !
just wanna say i got this from a Google search and WOW silly me.... totally missed that silly icon.
lol thanks guys.
man this was frustrating me sooo much! As always XDA has all the answers
I found the answer here too .... I really can't imagine anyone figuring this out without googling for the answer
Yea I dont know when the app was updated but I was going crazy looking for the batch option as well. I don't think I ever would have figured this out on my own. Thanks to search!!!!

I had this problem, someone should do an updated tutorial.
I'm also glad to be forewarned of the other missing menu item.
I also googled and ended up here on how to back up.
Why did they remove the batch option in the menu?

Me too! It seems crazy to make such a drastic change to the UI and not make sure ALL users (even us non-changelog-readers) will find out about it.
Thanks
Guys, thank youuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu
I made my user account just to pay you all some props .....
hey thanks! i will try this!
I never expected this thread to still be going! I'm very pleased to have been able to bring this issue to people's attention, and that we're able to let more people know about it.
Hi all. Media scroll stopped working. Don't know what I did. How can I restart it?
Same thing happened to me. I tried everything to get it working again. Can someone lend a hand on how to fix? Thanks

what exactly are you referring to 'media scroll'
in a specific program/app?
front home menu?
need a tad more info...
Hi please help. I have an app called media scroll on my huge Samsung view tablet. I was having trouble changing the apps on it. (When you slide left from your main home page you open media scroll) anyway I uninstalled the app but now I can’t find how to reinstall it again. Please help me. The app icon is black with a purple/blue arrow kind of like the play store icon
mediascoll seems to be a front end app that is used on the ATT GV but is a in the background working app, one that holds no options at least on ATT version.
Have you tried a factory reset?
