Hey I just rooted my phone and applied manup fresh them. When I press the phone button in the bottom left of the screen it say "Application is not installed on your phone."
When I go into apps and press the phone app I get to the dialer, which lets me know the app does work and it is installed on my phone. Did anyone run into a similar problem and if so is it fixed.

hey guys, i downloaded this program, but i cant seem to figure out how to copy and paste. i thought u just held down the joystick key, yet that doesnt seem to be working (yes i clicked on teh icon and the program is running) thanks

The program should install itself so that you don't have to do anything to launch it when your phone boots. The only indication you have is a rectangular yellow box that pops up after your get to main screen that says 'the application is running'. Once it does, keep the center button in the D-pad pressed for 3 or 4 seconds and the menu should pop up. One thing to note that it doesn't always work in all applications.
it doesn't work for me, either - no way to activate it.
hardware: o2 xda cosmo running original wm5.0 (O2 branding)
i cannot figure out how to use it either...
When I m eg in the Market or running Internet and press the Home Button I don t return to the home screen anymore. I must have changed something but don t now what.....
no ideas anyone?
Ideas about what?! You're not describing your problem. What happens when you press Home?
I only see the screen 'flicker' 1 time
Have you tried rebooting the phone? Is your phone rooted? Is it unlocked or branded? C'mon, give some more details if you want help!
You might try installing "Home Switcher" from the Market and see if it helps.
Rebooting does not help. Original 2.1 rom, installing home switcher does not help either. Did I clean install last night, home button worked fine for some hours and after this there s again the same problem => no returning to the home screen and only a short 'screen flicker' when pressing the home button.
I would speak to HTC if that did not work. They should repair it for free because its under warranty.
It's unlikely to be a hardware issue if it sometimes works.
When using Home Switcher, what apps show up in the list? (might be a rogue app that is stealing the home button function by registering itself as a launcher application).
Do you have any apps installed? (you said you have done a clean install but it's not clear if you installed any apps after that; please note that you might have enabled backup to your sd card [Settings -> Privacy] and that even after a clean install some of your settings will he restored from that backup).

I'd suggest booting into safe mode as this will stop all 3rd party applications from running. If it works from there, it seems pretty likely that the issue is related to an application you have installed.
To get into safe mode, power off your device, and then power back up again whilst holding down the menu button, and keep it held down until the phone has completely booted. Once booted, you should find it says "safe mode" in the bottom left corner of the screen.
Note that if you do this, all your 3rd party widgets on the home screens will stop functioning - even when you have exited safe mode. You will need to delete and re-add them.

Dave

Very good idea/advise.
This worked for me
Reading through this thread made me wonder whether the fact my Home and Search buttons suddenly weren't working could have been caused by an app I installed the day before (No Lock).
Before uninstalling it I decided to give it a test. It was on "Locking Disabled". I set to "Locking Enabled" and tested the Home button - voilà, it worked. Tested the Search button, it worked too.
Set the app back to "Locking Disabled" - Home and Search buttons still working.
My buttons, home and both volume buttons are dying. I think it's just wear and tear really which is bad because I've had it less than a year.
Hello. So I got into a problem this morning while updating Golauncher EX. I updated it and when I pressed home, I accidentally chose to have GoTo (a lockscreen application) the default app for that. Now my phone can't return to launcher at all.
When I reboot I just get a blank screen and can't do anything besides bring the notification bar down.
I know I can easily fix this by going into settings, but I can't get to that without launcher. So I tried to get into safe mode (boot holding vol down, track pad, and menu) and I can get there after the phone vibrates (it says safe mode in bottom corner), but before I can do anything the phone reboots. I don't really want to resort to a factory reset yet, so I was wondering if anyone had any suggestions.
Also I haven't rooted my phone yet.
Thanks for any help you can offer!
The only thing i can think of is press the search button, and see if that brings up the search screen. I would navigate my way to market or something, install adw, then hit home. The pop up for default should come up again, then you can make golauncher ex default?

Delete it from phone with computer. I think all the files pertaining to the app should be in sdcard/data and data/data...
Thanks for the tips guys. btw I tried using search, but nothing would pop up, but for some reason hitting menu would make a keyboard appear.
Anyways, something weird happened where when I tried booting into safe mode, my phone seemed to wipe all my settings and went into the normal launcher. It didn't delete all my apps, but made the majority of them strangely force close whenever I opened them.
In the end I just rooted my phone and everything is perfect now!
Good to hear.

I recently had my Kindle melt down. I was adjusting the volume while listening to Pandora and I had an error that read "something/android/phone.apk has stopped"
After pressing OK the error window would appear again and then again. After rebooting it would appear at the lock screen. After pressing OK there is only about .5 seconds before it reappears - not even long enough for me to swipe to unlock the screen or hit the recovery button.
I had to restore a prior backup.
I heard that it was probably and app that was making a call to the phone.apk. Any ideas what apps might do this? It is apparently something that is starting at boot.
I really liked the SimpleCM9 ROM that I was using.
Thanks.
Not really sure what happened, but randomly my lock screen stopped appearing. When I hit the power button it goes right to the home screen.
Also, the home button will not bring me back to the home screen when I'm in the app drawer or operating within an app, but yet the home screen will wake the device up to no lock screen so I have to use the back key to get back to the home screen.
Really weird.
I'm running wicked v.10 and tried reinstalling the ROM to no success.
Help!!
Thanks,

If you are using Wanam Exposed then that is the reason.
Some of the options and settings in it can cause the issues you are experiencing.
If you have Wanam installed then open Xposed Framework and
click on "Framework" then select "uninstall" and reboot the phone.
It's a lot easier and faster that way than trying to search/find the exact
setting/option which was enabled that caused the issue in the first place.
Reinstalling it is fast and easy and does not require guesswork.
You can always re-install it really fast.
If you have not used Wanam then it must be some other mod which
was installed that's causing the issue.
Good luck!
Shoot. Didn't work. I Uninstalled it and the problem was still present.
I looked at my most recent updates apps and there wasn't anything significant.
Any other ideas?

Found out that it was the Google Home Launcher I installed. I uninstalled it using Titanium and POW, everything came back.
Not sure why that happened. but whatever.
WHEW!
