I installed Launcher Pro Plus on Das BAMF 1.3.2 and whenever i open up the phone/dialer the call history that normally displays behind the keypad is blank. If i select call history from the bottom, then switch back to the dialpad, the history will be displayed. Its a pain to have to switch back and forth every time i bring up the phone. This doesn't happen when using Sense as the default launcher. Anybody have any idea what causes this or how to fix it? Thanks for any help/ideas!
I am having this problem too, really irritating.
dbu over in the development forum posted this:
Note: there seems to be a little bug with all 3rd party launchers where if you you hit the phone button and the dialer pops up, the contact list is blank and the smart dial does not work. To remedy this long press phone, select a new application and restart Launcher Pro then add the phone back, you may also have to open up the dialer and try to dial a few numbers and delete them and the contacts should appear. Not really sure why this happens.
Going to give it a try and see how it goes.

I did it yesterday and it fixed it. Just change the icon back to what you want after and you should be all set. I haven't had an issue since I did this.
How's LP running for you? I was using LP paid, but after the last update, it runs like complete crap for me. (I'm on the BAMF ROM too).
Sense runs perfectly, but LP is laggy and FCs a lot. Makes my TBolt feel like my old G1, ugh.
I have been experiencing the same problem with Launcher Pro. Even stock my phone still did that. Like it was said above, type a number in and delete it and your recent calls will come up. I haven't installed a custom rom yet, I'm just running the stock root rom with the 1.4ghz kernal. It doesn't force close or run slow for me. I prefer it to sense.

Mine is a bit slow when I get texts and Handcent pops up. The screen unlocks, the window pops up, and it takes a while until the sms sound plays. I have been able to reply to the text and send it with time to spare before the sound plays. That's the only lag I've had really. I may try using the stock app and see if that clears it up.

It worked for me.
The fix worked! LP has been running great (im using tesla coil 1.1 with drod's latest kernel).

I finally had to give up on LPP for now. Sucks too because I had my phone set up very nicely. I ended up with more issues using Handcent and LPP(with Das BAMF rom) and I tried GoSMS(hated it) and the stock app(also hated it).
I'll keep it loaded on my phone for now and see when it updates if anything changes.
I'm not using LP but handcent works fine for me.
Sent from my ADR6400L using XDA App
I looked through the comments on the market for Handcent. Apparently there are a number of people experiencing the same issue I am regarding the lag. Maybe I'll uninstall it and reinstall it. If it's anything like a computer, it will work flawlessly after that.
OK - I'm starting to think I'm the only person that has this issue as I haven't seen it reported..
Sometimes, my Photon won't launch apps. Apps that are already running continue to run and I can switch back and forth between them, but trying to start a new app, it just doesn't start! Fix has been to either reboot, or have it go to sleep and wake it up 15 minutes later and try again. I've had it do this while a system task manager was running, so could see that there was plenty of free memory (RAM) available..
This includes launching apps from apps that are already running. i.e. - sometimes the browser doesn't launch from a search query. (mostly though pressing an icon on the STOCK launcher doesn't launch it..)
Anyone else see this?
-mark
Yeah mine seems to do it every once in a while too. I noticed that if you open the task manager and kill the market then whatever app your trying to open will end up opening up right after the market closes.

One of the reasons, I took mine back to the Sprint Store. When they fix it, I may buy it again... otherwise, my OG Evo is perfectly fine.
I can't believe more people aren't experiencing this. I do have LauncherPro installed but I don't think that's the reason. I can recreate this all the time. After installing an app through Market, I randomly can't open apps from the home screen.
Nothing happens unless I force close the Marketplace.
Any input on this?

The new market is absolute crap in my opinion, way to many FC's with it and it just doesn't do what it needs to. If I can go faster than it can download, select, etc then it needs to be reworked, also I get a lot of packet errors, have to download apps two or three times just to get it to install.. Great idea but it needs a patch bad!
I wouldn't see why this is a reason to take the Photon back and go back to an Evo, I mean the Evo is a cool phone but the hardware on it is sub par compared to this phone. I used to have one, and it doesn't even hold a candle. But to each their own.

I have only had this happen a few times I was told that it is associated with the battery manager settings if you don't use performance it can cause issues that was what was causing the muted audio issues the battery management settings put it on performance and I don't see the issue.

I just noticed my battery mode was set to Nighttime Saver. Hadn't even looked at this option. I went ahead and changed it to Performance Mode and will see if it happens again.
Thanks for the suggestion.
Mine does it too. After the update that just came out it seems to do it less now.
Just started having this issue today. App launches and others won't launch unless you kill the "hanging" app or the market.
I have no idea if this is a bug in blur or some kind of hardware defect (memory). It seems to be a software issue.
Problem persists after complete hard reset and app cache clear.
I'm using an 8 GB Samsung class 2 microSD card (from old Evo 4G). It has been reformatted.
Other symptoms: Back button and select widgets become unresponsive.
App count at time problem started: 72
yeah i have the same issues. not sure how to fix it. Usually a reboot does it but man i hate to reboot it all the time.
Could you list any changes, apps, app counts, microSD card, or settings your Photon has?
Mine is working smoothly after redoing my Photon for the 2nd time, reformating the microSD card via the phone, keeping my App count below 70, setting the Battery mode to Performance, and not installing Bump or Sensorly.
Still trying to narrow down the issue but it's looking like it's software related.
still happening
Is this problem still happening to anyone's phone?? It's starting to get really annoying, I tried a hard reset twice on two different photons and the problem's still occurring.
I fixed this by installing the automemory manager. Details in my thread called lag be gone.

These are a few things that I have found while I've had the Jetstream. All are minute and I would still buy the Jetstream again even knowing about these small bugs because the jetstream is that functional to me.
Anyone want to check these out and confirm them?
Also, list other bugs you see and we can confirm then as well.
1. In gallery, touch and hold a pic, share to Picasa, at the window to determine which album to upload it to, it doesn't provide a list and therefore won't upload to Picasa via gallery. WORK AROUND: Download the app Photosync by Akira Soumi (Doesn't support bmp file uploads though, i believe) I use this app to sync my photos between my EVO, Picasa, and Jetstream.
2. Sometimes the music app will show a previously played song list when browsing into a new album song list. Ex: when browsing into arcade fire, the song list instead will be David bowie if he was played last. WORK AROUND: Do not select a song to play. Instead, long press on the ALBUM the song is in. Plays the album every time with no glitch.
3. When using google docs, no keyboard appears when attempting to type. Though, this is an android bug, not only on the Jetstream. My roommate has a Samsung galaxy tab 10.1 and his does the same.
4. Like 3, this one is not native to only Jetstream, I assume. On some text fields on webpages such as Photobucket or Picasa, I am not able to touch and hold to bring up the copy/paste menu. I wish they would put copy into the menu list for the browser.
I cannot think of others at the moment. I will add to the list as I find things. Perhaps an update will fix these annoyances. Please share.
EDIT: Added work arounds for two of my glitches I've mentioned

Im sorry you are experiencing these issues. So far i have not experience any of them at all. the only thing i dont like about is is the lag. For been 1.5ghz dual it sure lags, specially the browser.also, the memory is always below 140mb free. Is this normal?
Thanks
I have the music app bug as well, so bad that I just downloaded the Music app from Google and was done with it. I miss the lock screen widget, but the HTC Music app was too painful to keep up with.
Another bug I've found is with using a Bluetooth keyboard. When the keyboard is left paired until the tablet sleeps, when turning the tablet back on and disconnecting the BT keyboard the onscreen keyboard continually pops up. This happens even on the home screen, and in the music app. Pressing the back key to remove the virtual keyboard does so, but it comes back in a matter of seconds.
I've had to turn off auto screen rotation because it was far too sensitive.
Still no option to sync picasa web albums in the Accounts & Sync section (such as was available on the Xoom)

but my LTE connection fluctuates wayyy more then a normal connection. i can do 3 back-to-back speed tests and get 10mbps, 18mbps, 4mbps, 23mbps (highest i saw) all while my signal is going up and down. Im calling this a bug since i happen to work for AT&T and know that the tower im connected to is only a few blocks and i radio tested my phone next to my tablet and my phone wasn't switching nodes/towers whatsoever.
and considering where i live theres prolly 20 LTE users at peak using the node since LTE isnt available yet and isnt planed till 2012ish. i know its one of the like 10 test towers in the city
ps, also calling it a bug cuz i switched the sim
ps and i dont knoow how to get a tabletinto test mode to see if it is somehow bouncing nodes/towers
pen issue
i use the scribe pen alot and notices that if i'm not using the pen pallet for a few minutes while in the PDF viewer - it won't open again until i'll quit the app and open it again. and that too is not so consistent.

i have also noticed video issues, mainly a lot of android vanilla stock video options are removed from the jetstream... thus apps like Plex do not work and it is annoying as hell. Also I wish there was a way to get root and enable the wifi hotspot ability. If i pay for data I want to use it as i want.

bizarre split screen noise on top half
ok I found this thread and have the jetstream since Sept '11.
awkward thing I notice is that flash does not want to work via opera browser.
in generic sense browser the flash works but playing videos via full screen flash player the screen splits with noise, static overlaying the top half of the screen. Can any one else please confirm this?
lastly I enabled pin lockscreen and upon restart and attempting to unlock the screen upon startup in landscape mode the device will just do this boot loop. I noticed you can avoid the bootloop if you unlock in portraitmode.
settings app would just close out if I attempted to enter the power setting in the list. hard reset fixed that.
tablet completely froze out when fully charged trying to perform an encryption. Had to enter the recovery mode and factory reset.
Anyone else having the flash player split screen when watching a video?

I have a dual Booted Tablet. When I hit the N button it usually asks me if I want to go home or ADW Launcher(The launcher I chose). Now it stays on the original Nook screen and randomly opens up different books on its own and flips pages on its own. Also, the option to open up ADW is gone. if I hit the N button it just opens up whatever book I was reading last. I turned the device and back on but it acts the same way. Can anyone help me?
I'm not sure what you mean by 'dual booted'. With CM7?
Similar behavior to what you describe (things opening randomly, pages flipping, etc.) usually happens when the battery is very low. I've also seen it happen trying to use USB power adapters that don't really work correctly for the NT. Make sure you're not operating on a very low charge or other power issue.
I used Indirect's Root. I was able to keep the original Nook look as well as boot into another launcher. It was working fine until yesterday. Now the Home button doesn't do what it should but the main thing is that the screen types and writes all on its own. I heard about the low power setting issues with some people. My Nook was at 60% so I don't know if that's considered low enough to be under that umbrella

I can't help you with your problem, but I want to make things clear.
You don't have dual boot or anything like that, you just installed alternative launcher application.
In general you have the same stock firmware you had before rooting with addition of a few apps, allowing you to do more, than B&N wants you to be able to do.

This is correct.
Disclaimer: I am a noob. Please take the following suggestions with a grain of salt.
Perhaps, clearing the homecatcher defaults will clear things up?
Alternatively, you could try installing a different launcher, such as golauncher, and see if it behaves as strangely as your current configuration.

Well I would just install another launcher but the problem is that I can't access the other launcher any longer. The Home button doesn't work like its supposed to but instead opens up the Nook's Book Library. The whole thing just started acting weird and randomly the keyboard would pop up and write by itself in addition to opening and closes the book Library. Its been acting like it has a virus. I factory reset it but unfortunately it didnt help. So I figure my screen is faulty

I got the same few hours after I rooted but using go launcher, just clean your screan very very clean if you haven't put a screen protector on it, then make sure its charged. Now try to open anything in that you could find a link click on it so it opens the browser then go to the android.market.com and download another launcher. After that I took my tablet and removed all the B&N crap apps, ijust left the games. Don't forget to apply the OTA block again.
Advice: remove home catcher.
PS: you could also use adb to push a new launcher but as you factory reseted usb debugging must be disabled, you need can enable it again by downloading tgps_launcher.apk from indirects root thread using the Nook browser.

Have you tried going in to manage apps and deselect the default for ADW, B&N's Home Launcher and Homecatcher if your using it? I use button savior so I have software buttons rather than the n button. by deselecting the default launcher you should get a window again asking which launcher do you want to use as home.
I have a question that might relate more to Android than to the Note. I've been using an iPhone since the 3gs and got my Note on Sunday.
On an iPhone, I can exit the browser, do something else, then come back to the browser and continue where I left off. The state of the browser is saved.
With Android, the browser goes back to the home page. I tried Opera and it seems to bring me back to the page where I last left off, but it has to reload it. It's better than nothing but I'd really like to save the browser state in memory.
Can I get the same type of thing in Android? I looked through the settings and didn't see anything?
Thanks
As long as you don't use the back button, it should stay on the page you were viewing. Hasn't happened to me yet.
Hmm.
I just opened up the Android Browser, went to slickdeals.net, hit the home button, went back into the browser (slickdeals was still there), opened up the weather widget, hit home button, opened go SMS, hit home button and went back into the browser and it took me to the home page again.
What am I doing wrong?
Hmm mine does the same thing. I'm using Opera. It seems like if it's closed for any length of time then it dumps the page from memory and requires a reload when you come back to it. My guess this is working a working as intended feature of the operating system.
I tried the exact same thing. Opened Engadget, hit home button, hit weather widget, hit home button, opened the messaging app, hit home button, hit Opera and it had to reload the page. I remember my iPhone saving browser state for days and I guess I never noticed it when I switched to Android about 8 months ago. Just tested my old Inspire on wifi, it does the same thing and it's running ICS. It's gotta be the operating system.
I notice the same thing with my Note. my moto Atrix didnt do this so i dont think it has to do with android in general.
its android..doesnt have anything to do with the Note.

I know what you're talking about. This happened to me several times on my Note. The first few, I kind of blew it off, then it got annoying. When I actively tried to duplicate the issue, it came right back to the same page I was on, rather than the home page. This makes me think that either I closed all apps from the task manager and forgot or that Android actively killed the browser after a time. I definitely never had this happen on my Skyrocket or Vivid.
I just tried to reproduce this - opened Opera, loaded a page, went back to Home, opened a half-dozen apps, went back to Opera, and my page was still there.
Opera keeps the page but has to reload it. The default browser just loads the home page.

Dolphin Browser HD seems to save my pages for days. If I forget to close out my pages it is always on where I left it.
It probably has to do with how the browser is treated by the automatic task manager built into android. My guess is that the stock browser and Opera get closed after a while of non-use, whereas Dolphin probably has some sort of higher priority and stays where you left it.

To be clearer - Opera did NOT reload the page after opening the various other apps in my test. It wasn't until much later when I re-entered Opera did I see it reload the page. Maybe an hour after I ran my test.

This is samsung's browser most likely as I didnt have this happen when using cm7 on my htc inspire, but if you go do something else and want to return to the browser's last page you were on what I find is working for me is holding the home button and when all the open apps show up just select the browser and it should return you to the last page you were on. Since it only shows 6 apps, if you've opened more than six apps since you left the browser then it wont be on the list and would need to start a new session. This is so far how I've been able to return to my browser's last page I was reading.
This is not a Samsung or a typical Android issue. I have had the Skyrocket, Atrix, Atrix 2, Thrill, Inspire, Captivate, and a some others. Never had this issue. Only with the Note.
