Constantly being promted (Home Button)

I think it happened after buying the Launcher Pro Plus home screen replacement. I have since uninstalled it but depending on the app that I'm in, when I hit the soft "home" button on the phone, the system asks me which home screen application I want to use. Sense is set as the default in the application settings so I have no clue why this happens. Anyone experience this?

If sense is set as the default and launcher pro is uninstalled it should stop prompting you to choose a default have you tried a restart or a battery pull?

When that happens again and you get the prompt check the box you want it to default to and that should set it. Make sure the check box is highlighted.

I'm sure I've pulled the battery since then but I'll try again. And yes I do put a check mark in the default box when I am prompted. Funny thing is it only happens from some applications and while I'm in certain menus in certain apps. I'll see if I can pin point when it happens but it happens enough to irritate me. Shouldn't happen at all. Maybe I'll uninstall all home screen replacements and see if that stops it. Maybe if there's no choice but Sense, it will stop. If it doesn't I dont know what to do.

Just did a few more tests, Doesn't happen from the Internet app, Market but if I load up Astro it happens if I hit the home button or if I try to back myself out of the app to the home screen with the back button. However, it seems that if I place the checkmark in the default box when I'm prompted, then it doesn't happen again for that app. Strange huh? You would think this would be global but its acting as if it's per app.

Uninstall qik.

yeah, the new qik update was my problem too.

My fix was to load the latest OTA. Weird huh?

I'm rooted so I don't have the latest ota update. I removed the latest qik update. Let's see if that helps

Install CM6. Fixed it for me.

the best way to replicate the problem for me is to launch an app, hold the home button while in the app, launch another app from the list, and then push the home button once.
The bug triggers when you use the recent application list by holding the home button.
I also noticed that HTC Sense would show up in the recent list ever since I update qik.

Overlapping new text message icon

I'm using Handcent sms and everytime I get a text it'll show the icon on the notification bar like it should, but there seems to be another semi transparent icon overlapping it.. its not a huge deal but its kind of bugging me Does anyone know how to fix this or what's causing this to happen?

Be sure you have the stock sms app notifications turned off if you use Handcent notifications.
If you already do, look through Handcent's options.
If you can't find the culprit, email the dev team for Handcent.

turn off the message count in handcent and see if that clears up the icon ghosting (looks to me like the white message count number is the issue) or try a different color notification icon in handcent, see if it has the same issue.

Thanks it was the message counter.. I turned it off in the handcent settings and now it displays perfectly.

No "Notification icon" in Notifications ribon

After Jelly Bean update something happened to the Notifications ribbon, Notifications icon disappeared.
As a result there were no notification sounds (mail, sms, facebook, tumblr, etc.) on the phone except ringtone.
Goggled other forums, no solution that brings it back.
I tried hard reset - (volume up, home button + power button) - wipe user data/restore to factory settings
After that the sound cam back, but icon did not.
Any ideas?
-edited-
4.1.1 - does not have notification icon in its settings.

Trying to help but the pictures aren't showing up for me on mobile app, what do you mean "notification ribon"?

Flashing notification, None seen??

Anyone have any idea why my home screen button keeps flashing green despite the fact I do not have any notifications ?
I checked all texts, Thru the ATT Message app and the stock text message app.
I have notifications turned off for text on the ATT Messages App.
I got nothing.

I opened the Notification tray, Slid the apps on top around, Closed it.
Now it's not flashing.
Weird.

Happens to me too. Restart gets rid of it for me.

Contacts qustion

Greetings,
Had my galaxy 5 for about a week. LTE version US. Finally set up to mostly work. Question about contacts.
When using default Samsung phone app, there are two icons on the top of the screen: left is green dial and right is orange contact shortcut. The contact shortcut works after some reboots but after another reboot it does not. Pressing the button does nothing, like it does not exist. I downloaded a separate contact app to match my phone, which works fine from the app drawer. However, shortcut from the phone app does nothing. All permissions are allowed for both phone app and contact app.
What am I doing wrong? Why does it work sometimes, but not always. The only way to fix is another factory reset. Any thoughts?
Thanks
