k i read about an app called spare parts on here so i figured hey i'll try it out. i did saw what extra setting were there and decided i wasn't gonna use it didn't even change any settings.
after opening the app and then pressing home something wierd happened i saw a white screen with HTC in green in the center for about 3-5 seconds my backround with a loading pop-up and nothing else for about another 3-5 seconds. this is happening every time i press the home button or exit out of an app. it's getting infuriating, i'm also getting wicked bad lagg in sense and lot's of hang up's and force closes. also wicked bad battery life. i don't know what to do to fix it.
i have the OTA and rooted last night with unrevoked method, this morning is when i tried the app around 10 or 11 not sure last couple days is a blur.

get used to it if you intend to use sense, the screen you speak of is sort of like the htc sense/rosie intro. If you dont like it you can go vanilla and use another launcher, like adw froyo,launcherpro, or even the extra launcher thats included....
Sounds like you enabled aggressive handling of apps. Can you get in there to turn it off?

Or just do a factory reset.
also, you are experiencing some isolated problems which leads me to beleive the issue is software related rather than hardware.I have experienced NOT ONE of the issues you speak of. Make sure you update prl. I can vouch for that one. My data was 90% broken till i did. Also try and wipe data, that would prolly fix everything as well.....FYI, i cannot gurantee the problem lies with your hardware OR software. Thats just my diagnosis. Good luck
Thats what it was the agressive handling of processes thanks alot guys feel like a fool.....

Heh...I did that once on my hero. I know the feeling.
some versions of spare parts come with a launcher. the problem is that when you press the home button now, it's trying to goof with /system, which is forcing the reboot. even though you may be rooted, you don't have rw privileges in /system while messing with android.
you may be able to get away with accessing /system and erasing your goofy installed spare parts app. you'll have to do that through adb shell, and the custom recovery. do a search for 'remove apps', you should find it easily enough. i think the thread was moved from dev to general, or q and a.
anything that will call a write to /system (i.e. a rooted app that needs access to it to work right) has the potential to cause the phone to reboot. when i installed adfree, it had the same effect. trying to install hosts (which write to /system/etc) caused a reboot. i had to install hosts through recovery with a push after remount.
hope that helps
Hmm I installed autokiller and it appears to work doesn't mess with anything that is
I really dunno a way of testing that its actually working though if you where looking for a way to manage memory
I was using a task killer but read up on stuff and turned it off just keeping it in case I need it for something that wont close and the phone is running great and battery life keeps getting better and better.

autokiller
People you need to be careful with autokillers!
Make sure that you are not closing down sense items.
Put anything that says htc or sense on ignore.
If not you are shutting down parts of sense. Then sense has to reboot. Witch is why you see the white screen with the htc logo in the middle.

When it is open press menu and go to options and it will say something about automatic launch, un check that, then if you are rooted get titanium backup and uninstall it from there. Are you having problems with the speaker phone being on every time you make or receive a call? That's my problem and I can't figure out how to stop it.

Me too!!!! Any help is greatly appreciated!!!!
Assuming you mean Car Panel.
Is it docked? If not, you should probably reflash your ROM and if you are restoring using Titanium Backup, don't restore Car Panel or the system data for it.
Car Panel
my evo cm7 wouldnt charge in my car even though the car panel app came up. i uninstalled it through Titanium Backup and now my phone charges!
My wives EVO is having the same issues. It started on FreshRom, so I switched to MikFroyo, and its doing the same thing. Would flashing a new radio have anything to do with it, because FreshRom was fine until a few days ago?

My friend's phone just started doing this. His USB started bugging out at the same time so I'm thinking the two issues might be related.
i fixd the car home thing!
ok.. for those who are seeing car home annoyingly pop up.. here is my solution.
1. extract the zip file that u use to install the google apps on ur computer.
2. once extracted, delete the car home apk found under system>app> carhomegoogle.apk.
3. once deleted, go to the first sub folder in the extrated folder. ( the folder should have two folders in there called META-INF and system)
4. highlight those folders and create a .zip file.
5. rename it something simple ( gapps may work. since your are replacing the original gapps.zip folder)
6. mount on to the root of ur sd card.
this part might sound a bit extreme but this is the only way to make sure..
7. go to ur phone's recovery, and reinstall cm7 and the new google apps.
thats it.
the key here is to delete the car home app from the zip file. since anything inside cant be tampered with,u must extract it and modify it that way. then remake a new .zip file that does not contain car home.
enjoy.
i am now car home free.
for anyone still having this issue, which just started for me this morning, it seems to be a hardware issue not a Software issue. I could fiddle with my USB jack and it would stop for a few then start back up i am guessing mine is worn down and causing it to send a false call for a car dock.
Just look up "Dock no-op" on the market that fixed it for me.
Titanium back up works well too. It's also faster and easier in my opinion.

Hey there guys. I really need some help now. I've been going at this for about 6 hours now and I really just cant do it alone anymore.
so here it is...
I just got my HTC evo and I attempted rooting it. The phone was working perfectly the day before. no problems what so ever. Today I youtubed how to root your evo and i came across this http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1OmPcT4pcks
I followed his exact steps but it didn't work at all. I got to the part where i installed the driver, i ran the unrevoked program and it failed to root my phone. i unplugged my phone then it started going all haywire and pushing stuff on its own, the 4 bottom buttons weren't working either when the keyboard pops up, whenever i try to type "o" "L" or "m" it presses all the buttons surrounding it besides the one i'm actually trying to press. So then i went to this thread
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=838448
that one rooted my phone just fine. However the phone going haywire was an ongoing thing. I even flashed a new rom on there and it still goes haywire.
right now i'm running this rom
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=992402
I'm really just stuck right now. I've tried unrooting my phone and getting it completely back to just normal so i could start fresh But i find the right zip file. If anyone could please help me i'd really appreciate it. Looking forward to hearing from someone. thanks
Do u have a recovery installed? I would suggest using RA then use the format all zip to completely erase your phone and flash a rom again and see what you get.

and flash unrevoked s-on first.
What happens if you clean your screen really well? Mine only pushes random buttons if it gets a drizzle of water on it or something.
the screen is really clean and it still does it. The screen does all sorts of loopy stuff. like itll zoom out like your pinching it then zoom back in. slide around from screen to screen. I flashed a new rom on there once again and its still doing it. I tried a whole bunch of the supersonic shipped roms but none of them would work. Is this phone done for good? ='(
about software entire thing is this
android version 2.2
baseband version 2.15.00.11.19
kernel version 2.6.32.17-gee557fd
[email protected]#15
build number dark cocoa lll
software number dark cocoa lll
browser version webkit 3.1
PRI version 1.90_003
PRL version 60677
Well I can recommend a few things..
1. Backup, do a complete wipe, reflash the rom
2. Try a different kernel.
3. Downgrade to PRI&NV 1.77.
the problem is your touch screen is going bad, not the root and the root didnt cause it. take it to the store, they will a replacement screen in stock.

Exactly. I had the same problem, just unroot, make sure you have s-on, get rid of anything root related on your sd card (ie soff.log), and take it in

I managed to wear a rough spot on the screen from using Swype. Apparently I text very violently and a lot. The screen looks fine but if you run your finger along it you can feel where the keyboard pops up in portrait mode is rough, and if you clean it, the cleaning solution beads around that area. I bought an invisishield screen protector and that seemed to solve my problem, which sounds the same as what your experiencing. Going to the store and getting it fixed is probably a better option, I've just had to fight with Sprint in the store on what they considered "physical damage" on my last phone, and the screen protector seemed like a easier solution for the time being.
Hey what's up guys.... for some odd reason my home button is now my menu button and won't change back. I opened up the phone and the connections are right but It still does it. I tried everything and still a no go and don't know what to do next
Do you have xposed installed?

Go to wanam xposed, settings and look for home button behavior. Then change it to default or whatever you want.
Sent from my SM-N900T using Tapatalk
Wanam doesn't work till the phone boots up so it's not wanam I already checked it. It's something else that's causing this
Thus should be In the q&a section but I think if you're running xposed and you have Samsung keyboard hold delay module on, it will mess with your physical buttons so disable the module if you have it

I'll have to wait till I get home to take it apart again and go over everything to make sure everything looks good

This is a weird post.
1) Why would you open the phone to check this? did you open the phone and physically do something to it first?
2) You provided no real info about your phone, rooted?, have any root modules installed? Using a different rom?
Sounds like you are messing around and now have messed something up. hard to fathom what the issue is with out any real clue what you are doing to it.

@krelvinaz what's soo weird about the post ??? When the iPhone home button fails it's usually the connection popping off. The note 3 is not hard to work on and I done it before so no its not user error because it happened when I was out for dinner last night and actually the home button stopped working completely and now it's working but as a menu button.. I was running jovys rom and kernel and I wasn't using Wanam or exposed.. right now I am running a stock rooted build of my own with a stock kernel no mods and it's still doing it. I jumped to cm11 and aosp and still does the same thing. I had this note 3 since black Friday so returns are out of the question and I do have insurance but it's bothering me that I can't figure it out lol...Whats funny too the phone vibrates when i push the home button like i am pushing the menu n back keys
Fixed it apparently the Home button has a short/bad connection.. i get my replacement on tuesday but at least for now I can use it
Hello,
Ever since the update to 4.3, the home button is absolutely annoying. Everytime I need to get back to the home screen, it opens the recent tabs list. Anyone who knows what I am talking about knows how extremely frustrating this is. So, is there a fix?
Sounds like it may be sticking. That's what its supposed to do when you long press home.

Definitely not sticking. It seems once upgraded to 4.3, it started happening. I was reading a lot of people were having the same issue. But they were old posts, so I wasnt able to find a resolution. Its really annoying actually as it slows things down quite a bit, like a major time stopper.
Never had that happen for me. Have you disabled double press for svoice? If you flash an older rom does it fix it?

Yes I have disabled that. No, I am completely stock refreshed from samsung after sending in to fix cracked screen.
Did you get the same one back, or a refurb? Id contact them either way if they caused the problem.
Or try reflashing your firmware.
