Lately everytime I pressed the home button or returned to the home screen the home screen reboots with a "Loading..." box and no inputs are accepted except dragging down the notification bar. Any ideas? Memory issues?
I've tried uninstalling a few apps to free up some memory, but nothing seems to really work. Also checked if my task killer was "killing" the home screen in some way but didn't see anything wrong there.
Currently running LeeDroid 2.2f Desire GSM
Any help would be appreciated!
Ideas anyone??
Boot in safe mode and see if it happens again.
If it doesn't it's a third party process that is causing it.
If it does, you'll probably need to reflash, but first you may try to erase cache and data of the "htc sense" system process.

By "safe mode" do you mean recovery or bootloader or what is safe mode?
Tried clearing data on HTC Sense process but all it did was erase my home screens, still has to reload the sense UI everytime I exit a full screen app.
I guess I'll try to reflash sometime, maybe I'll give cyanogen a try.
To enter safe mode you need to power on your device while holding the menu button till the home screen shows up.
Are you rooted? Try clearing cache and dalvik cache? I used to have that problem and clearing the caches helped (I have sense moved on to other roms though)
Tried safe mode and cleared both caches no apparent difference.
Will try updating to Cyanogen and see if the problem is persistent. Will update with how this goes!
Let me know how this goes, I recently flashed LeeDroid 2.2f and started to experience the exact same problem.
Flashed to 2.3b yesterday, so far no homescreen problems but we'll see how it goes.
Just flashed most recent Cyanogen, S-OFF, custom MTD partition, Firerat's a2sd, with launcher pro plus and quickdesk.
No more homescreen reloads!
But I must say this is the best configuration I've used thus far! Love the Cyanogen features compared to the more simple LeeDroid feature list and I can configure launcher pro to work the same as Sense but better. also have a lot more space for apps as well.
For those who dont know what quickdesk is TRY IT. IT IS AWESOME. Works swimmingly with any homescreen launcher.
Hmm, might give it a try then!
Is that Cyanogen or DeFroST?#
Cheers.

Cyanogen. I don't see anything in the features list in DeFroST that Cyanogen doesn't already have.
Hi,
I have the Htc Desire android 2.1 with launcher pro. I loved it until recently it is showing that Launcher Pro has expired & it won't allow me to do anything. I restarted the phone, took out the battery but nothing seems to work. I am basically locked out because I trusted this product. Please help me out here, I would appreciate it. Again, htc Desire 2.1,launcher pro free version saying expired & opening up the browser only. I can't do anything else & I can't reboot as I would lose my contacts & data.
I tried looking at the solutions provided over the internet but nothing suits my situation. A lot of those solutions work for android 2.2 but I have 2.1 which I cannot update right now. Please help me people.
Thanks in advance. My phone is bricked until one of you guys can tell me a solution.
First of all that is not a brick. Second can you get in to settings? If yes, got to application management go to launcherpro and clear the defaults hit the home button and select the Sense launcher or download 'ClearDefaultHome' and clear the defaults. If that does not work you can do a factory reset but you will lose all your data.
And last where did you get that version of launcher pro? From the market?
Same problem here - but for the HTC Wildfire...
I'm having exactly the same problem - My version of Launcher pro was downloaded from the Android Market and has worked fine until this morning when it expired.
My phone will not let me access my home screen or any of my applications. When I press 'Home' it just takes me to my browser which contains an error message stating 'You do not have permission to access /index.php on this server. Additionall, a 403 Forbidden error was encountered while trying to use an ErrorDocument to handle the request'.
As I cannot access my home screen, I am unable to access my settings in order to manage my applications and uninstall Launcher Pro... Starting to panic now!
Any suggestions would be appreciated!!!
Thanks x
Not bricked.
Erm, your phone is not bricked.
Well the way i see it,
1) you could email the maker of launcher pro and explain your situation, though I think its more of a user error
2) Do what TheGhost1233 said, try to go into your settings, and select clear default on launcher pro app. Use htc sense again.
3) factory reset everything and set up everything once again
4) root and flash a new rom (Its more fun )
edit* For people who can't access their settings, try downloading another app that allows you to change settings.
If a factory reset is a to big of a step you could also try to remover launcherpro (in recovery) via ADB.
Thanks for your replies! As ghost1233 and friedkimchi suggest, I am unable to go into my settings or do absolute anything with the phone. I have the exact same problem as described by the other person in this thread of not being able to anything but just go to the browser which I cannot use because wifi is not enabled and cannot be because I can't access anything.
I bought the launcher pro from the android market and it was a free version which I have been using for months now. I seriously want to avoid the factory reset thing until I can because I do not want to lose the data. If I have to then I will but just trying to see if I can avoid it somehow. Nothing seems to be working now.
Yes The Ghost1233, factory reset is a big step because I would lose all my data and contacts. But then, what is ADB and I thought recovery meant factory reset.

Thanks, this seems helpful and points us in the direction where everyone is suggesting us to go to i.e. install ADB and uninstall Launcher pro in recovery mode. There is this video provided in this link which tells how to do that: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=A1SOSXwkc_8
Is this what you guys think is the last resort we have here for this problem and if I install ADB, would that be make my phone rooted?
Thanks for all your help and replies!
No it won't root your phone but you will run in to the problem that your phone probably does not have USB debugging enabled.
But i suggest you follow the linked thread (the launcherpro forums) for further help.
I do not obviously want to run into any kind of problems. What do you suggest then. This is not something that I am choosing, I did not find any other options. Please suggest what would be my options given my situation. I am not a nerd so I do not know if I will be able to do all this installation thing properly or not. This was kind of a relief that this would not root my phone. I don't know why I am afraid of it but I really like the handset and I don't want it to be screwed because of anything.
Thanks
a coworker of mine had the same issue today. I'm just reposting the link from another website, since I typically come to xda to find answers to stuff like this... either manually type this into your ANDROID browser, or if you could somehow make it to this page from your phone, just click this link... from your phone lol
market://search?q=pnamerg.adw.launcher
it is the direct adwlauncher link to the android market!
hope this helps! =)

You used free version of launcherpro, right?

Yes, that's right. It was a free version that I have downloaded from the android market.
idk if some of you are still having the same problem but if you are, i got this from another forum and it seemed to work for them:
Hold down the 'home' key in order to start your native task manager.
You should see the Settings icon, probably in the bottom right, of your tasks.
If you don't see Settings, double-tap your Home key in order to open Voice Dialing. When it opens, say 'Open Settings.'
Once you're in Settings, go to Applications, and remove LauncherPro.
Hope this helps.

if that doesn't work you, and could open the browser type this in:
(it should download adw launcher)
bubiloop.com/download/org.adw.launcher
ps. my cousin had this problem and search for a solution and found it, just thought i would share since. xda always helps me out
Hey, I tried doing all this except for the download thing but it does not work. I cannot download anything because wifi is disabled and there is no way I can enable it. If I could have had a back up of my data I would have probably tried the hard reset.
I really appreciate all you folks to try and help me out. I am still trying.

Hi there I am new to the defy. I bought it locked so I unlocked it. Next thing I did was Debrand it by flashing firmware the latest t-mobile flash. I now have moo working Market. Everytime I try to download an app is says download paused. So I though ok let's try a factory reset. Only problem is when I press erase everything it does not work does absoluly nothing.
Forgive me for being stupid I have no idea about flashing rooting.
Thanks
Unchecked Data Saver...from settings ur download from market will work....
Sent from my Toilet using Motorola DEFY...
still does not work at all. i have tried all that already it keeps saying download paused and the market is still on original not updated
thanks
also des anyone know how i would restore my phone as i hit restore under privacy settings and does nothing thanks
Enter stock recovery. Reboot phone, then hold power button plus vol. Down. Then push vol up and down at the same time. Choose wipe data.then power to select. Then reboot
Sorry, for restore, you either have nandroid or titanium . Instead of booting into stock recovery, go to cwm.
Sent from my MB525 using XDA App
ok how would i do that? i just flashed it. i have no recovory or backup options and when i try to restore it wont let me. is there any way i can flash irt back to original retial settings as i would prefer 2.1 tbh thanks
uncheck the "data saver" option in settings and wait for few seconds..if download doesnt start then open market and the download will start..
i m sure this will work...try this..
hi yes i have already tried this
if i cannot do this i would like to reset to factory settings or downgrade to 2.1 thanks
i had the same problem and that trick worked..well if nothing works then its better to flash ROM again.
or else do one thing..uncheck data saver then open market....then go to downloads..if u have any app updates then do tat..if the download starts, the other paused download will also resume at the same time..OR else try to download anything from the market..
remember do this with data saver unchecked!!
hope it works
i dont know exactly the problem but it could be the baseband problem. or the signal.
i suggest first root ur phone, and after that install this baseband switcher. switch the band to ur country, and try again the market
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1052745
try using wifi to download and see if you can do that. if still can't, try to go Application > Market and wipe cache/data. if all else fails, root your phone, and flash the new gapps zip file. you can find it in the CM7 Dev folder
I did a factory reset and then restored my apps and system settings with Titanium backup. Now I cannot get past the lockscreen. I have set up a 4 digit code, but the tablet says it is wrong. I was fine until I did the restore with Titanium.
In HC after 4 wrong entries it gave you the option to reset the password using your gmail address. But in ICS I get no such option. I am stuck. How can I get past this to get back into the tablet? Do I have to do a complete reinstall and if so, how do I do that when I cannot unlock the tablet?

I installed the leaked ICS over HC 3.21. I updated the leaked version 2 times and ended up with the final leak, which appears to be the same as the official release. The bootloader is stock.
I rooted the tablet and backed up with Titanium backup. Everything was working, except it had some stutters when it would not respond for a few seconds.
When I did the factory reset it seemed file. But some apps were not reinstalled by the Google server backup and the WiFi settings were lost. So I restored the missing apps and system settings with Titanium backup. When I restarted the tablet after the restoration, I could not longer use my 4 digit code to unlock the tablet.
I can get into the recovery menu, but I cannot figure out how to choose the "wipe" option.
There is no option after trying the unlock code to enter my email address as there was for HC.
Let me know if you need some other information. Thanks for your help.

ok kool thanks for the info!
well i dont remember the stock recovery very much...but power button should still be select and vol buttons to navigate.
if you cannot wipe from recovery there is a key sequence to wipe data...
1) Place the rotation lock switch in the up position 2) Press and hold the Volume down button, which is located farthest from the rotation lock 3) With the Volume down button held, press and hold the Power button for 3 seconds then release it. Continue holding the Volume down button. 4) Once the tablet vibrates, switch the rotation lock on and off repeatedly while still holding the Volume down button. 5) Release the Volume down button and stop switching the rotation lock once the "Erasing Userdata..." message appears in the upper left corner of the screen 6) Once the factory reset has been completed your tablet will load to the Welcome screen.
if that still doesnt work...do what u did before and flash the update.zip from the sdcard...
just a word of advice...restoring apps is ok...and system data like wifi passwords...bluetooth pairings etc
but once u get into restoring apps WITH data.,bad things can happen. ive seen it myself and no longer restore any data...just apps and bluetooth pairings..
cheers man!

That's disappointing to hear. I thought that was the advantage of using Titanium backup compared to just installing the apps manually from the market. I will restore more selectively.
When I try to mass text more than two contacts my phone freezes, I would select contacts that I want to message and then try to type my message the screen goes black, but the notification bar remains. Can't do anything so I have to just hold down the power button to restart phone. Tried typing message first and then select my contacts, but I still get the same problem. This doesn't happen when texting one or two people. Did a factory reset but the problem still persist. What could possibly be the problem and is there a fix? Any help would be appreciated.
P.S. I'm rooted and using stock Touchwiz with CWM recovery.
Clear cache for the messages app and try again. Is this a recurring problem or has it come up only recently?

I have never been able to mass text, so it's a recurring problem. How would I go about to clearing my cache for my message app, I'm using the stock app. Sorry, I don't know much about this, I'm new to rooting and smartphones in general.

Huh. You couldnt do this even on stock (unrooted)? Because if the unrooted stock base has this issue, then all custom stock roms will too...you can try making a nandroid and flashing another custom stock rom, it may just be an issue with what you're on
And no problem, everyone was new to this at one point
To clear an apps cache, you go to Settings > Applications > All apps tab, select the app you want, then wait for the app info page to load and tap the "Clear cache" button

Thanks, went to clear my cache, there wasn't anything to clear. I think I couldn't do this even on unrooted stock, I don't really remember. I've already made a backup before doing the factory reset, which I've now restored and currently using. I'll probably try to flash another rom to see if the problem exist on them as well.
