Hey guys,
after I press home button and go to home screen, 3 of 5 times happens that usually first icon from the left looks like it's being touched by my finger. For better explanation, see attachment. When I touch somewhere else, blue rectangle disappears. This happens also in Messenger app, or Nova launcher. I really don't know where the problem is. Factory reset solution would be on the last place.
Thanks a lot, I hope I explained it well.

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.

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,

Alright so I just got a Samsung Fascinate through a trade here on XDA and everything seemed to be in working order...except for the actual software in the phone. For one, the home button doesn't take me home, it simply takes me to a blank screen. I can pull down the notification bar and everything...but I can't get home to actually access and apps or anything. The only way I can access anything is when I hold down the home button to get most recent apps.
I've tried multiple times to hard reset..battery pulls..everything. Someone please help me out. I contacted the previous owner of the phone and he said you just have to press the home button a little harder...that didn't work.
It obviously works because it takes me to a blank screen and allows me to access the most recent apps..but it won't actually take me home.
Any ideas? Thanks in advance guys
Considering the Hines button is capacitive, pushing harder does nothing.
Is the phone rooted or stock?
If stock, try to Odin fresh stock. If rooted, try a different rom
Try installing a different launcher such as Adw, launcher pro or zeam to see if the problem goes away.
Now it does have a crack, but I don't think thats the problem because when I press it it still takes me to a blank screen so it must work.
And he gave me those options..and said it was semi-rooted? Considering I just came fresh from a Moto Droid I really know nothing about the process. Is Odin like SBF? I just want to have the phone in its original state to see if I even like it first..

I would second this suggestion. Often, launchers can have individual settings for what the home button does (i.e., with Go Launcher EX, the home button can be set to take you to your home screen, and if already on your home screen, pressing the home button will open up a shortcut, app, preview homescreens, etc.). So, by installing another launcher, it my clear away whatever setting is on the phone you got (i.e., launching a blank screen). Another option would be to go into your Setting > Manage Applications, and find your default launcher. Open it, and then "Clear Defaults."
Alright I got it to work by restoring completely with odin and changing the home screen launcher.
Thanks guys! It's much appreciated
I have when I have the app tiny flashlight +led downloaded, and it's widget on the homescreen to the right of the main one that when I come from txt messenger..or hit home ( to see all the screens at once) then hit home again my screen will glitch.
Will someone please please try this to see if it is my phone, or the app. Please hit the home button a few times, and go from other apps back to main home screen and see if you get a glitch. Only seems to glitch whatever is on that main screen.. like in my case..beautiful widgets and smooth calendar widget. Also had a similar problem with visidon applock. On that one I would hit the home button and after a few times the screen previews would go all wonky.
I just need to know if my phone is messed up or if these 2 apps just cause problems with the RAZR. I just think its odd that I'm having problems with 2 different apps.
Thanks to any that help!!!
CORRECTION
both apps are now deleted and am still having the problem.
Can only describe as a screen glitch. widgets glitch out. I think you have to have some sort of widgets on the screen to see the issue. I took off all widgets other than the stock blur ones, and still have the issue.
Any help or ideas? Anyone having the same issue?
Yep I get this as well, especially on my power control plus widget.
Sent from my XT910 using XDA App
Surely this isn't normal? When I had beautiful widgets on it was SO obvious and annoying. Wondering what to do now? Take it back?
●●●●● 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 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
