Go Launcher help - screen shifting and contact - Samsung Epic 4G Touch

There appears to be NO means to contact the go launcher folks (just spent 30 minutes trying gave up)
anyway LOVE go launcher. problem is the main desktop has 5 screens you can swipe/slide whatever between.
the MIDDLE one is primary. you then have 2 left and 2 right.
for some reason I keep ENDING UP at the far right screen which is very annoying cause I then have to swipe left twice to get back to my main screen.
it seems totally random I will turn on the phone and I am on the extreme right screen.
I also notice if I press home I go home but if I press home a SECOND time it ALSO takes me to the far right screen.
anyway to change/stop this from happening?

Strange... I've been using GO launcher for some time and never had an issue like that. Bad install, maybe?

Not sure. Just installed calkins rom. installed go clean instead of from backup.
will see if it happens again. VERY annoying. SO FAR so good. in fact now home does just what it SHOULD do.
takes me to the center screen and if I hit it twice GOES to center screen if not on center screen.
hopefully it was just a hinky install.
alas like an idiot I did not backup my contacts so the 4 hours I spend attaching pictures and correct numbers and entries in my contacts. all that work POOF. what a moron.
also all my circle launcher backups I carefully made are GONE. I had assumed they were saved to SD but apparently not. what is the point of backups if they go away with the program ???

U can change ur home screen by going into preview and clicking on the home button

Don't want to change the home screen. I want to stop it from moving around
it appears it was a "bad install" or something corrupt.
I installed calkins rom today and clean installed a fresh download of go launcher ex and so far its been PERFECT.
and in fact home works as it should double tapping it takes me to the "center" home screen.
so must have just been a goofy install or a corrupt file or something.

my reply stands ur home screen was not set as the middle screen but the far right one that's why it always went to it and u had to scroll to the left

Agreed.

You know I was about to make a snarky reply of ok smart a$$ you show me the setting. I have been through the settings and there IS NO SETTING for such a function.
and I would have kind of been right. there is a flat out hidden in plain site setting for it I happened upon by accident.
a screen I have NEVER seen before. in fact first time I saw it I had no clue how I did or or how to make it do it again.
after some experimentation I found out if I "swipe up" (something I usually have assigned to a function but had no done so yet on this install) this NEW window appeared that I never saw before.
it have all 5 of my "screens" displayed in miniature and the home screen was "green" but I was not ON the home screen (only reason it stood out to me otherwise I would have ignored it)
and then it hits me. I bet whichever one is "green" is the one it defaults too. sure enough if I touch the house on one of the other "screens" IT became green.
sure enough it was the "default" now.
I have no idea how it got changed (maybe when I was reaching in my pocket or something??? because i had never seen that screen before and I can find NO means to "invoke" that screen THOUGH hold on that give me an idea.
HAHAHA sure enough if I goto "EDIT" from the soft menu it brings up the same miniature window display. I had never bothered with THAT either
Just assumed it was to EDIT the "dock bar" which I had no desire to do.
so I must have gotten into that screen at some point and changed the "default" and never even knew it
how funny. of course I canceled the aggravated post and waited till I got home (now) to reply. Just found out "edit" did it right now too

I guess I misunderstood your original post. It sounded like you had been able to get to your intended home screen with one click, but a second click was sending you elsewhere. Sorry, guess I overthought it.

thats what it was doing.
many times it was at right screen (boot up wake up etc..)
sometimes it would take to home but hitting again would goto right screen.
I am almost certain I somehow "changed" the default screen as "home" without knowing it.
when I do it on purpose now it behaves exactly the same way it seems.
at least its fixed now and if it does it again I know whats wrong

Problem with IExplorer

When i was using IE once, i tried to view it in full screen, by clicking on..... full screen. it went to full screen, but then i can't do anything with it! Each time IE is opened now, it goes automatically to fullscreen and i can't actually use it at all i have htc mobile.htc.com on the screen and that's it! No icons, nothing happens when i touch the screen
Has anyone else experienced this? and how can i fix it??
hope someone can help
thanks!
I don't use IE as Opera is much better, but mine does the same, apparently no way to exit full screen without hitting one of the hardware keys to get out of it completely!

so that means I can't resolve this?? and ie is totally unusable?????
i agree about opera being better tho, i wasn't really using ie much, but i just hate having something that i can't actually use at all!!!
Sorry I'm being a dumbass.
Was getting confused cause the WM6.5 ROM on my HD is different (automatic full screen with button in corner) and I've only had the TP2 a week!
Tap and hold while full screened in IE to get the menu, select full screen again to go back to normal windowed mode
Shows how much I use IE
well of course that was the simple thing to do and i didn't do it!!!! gahhhh!!!
thanks!!!!

HELP! QuickMenu doesn't show up and load is VERY SLOW

Since last night my t-mo TP2 has been really slowing loading up (this is AFTER "windows 6.1" green screen and "loading TF3D"....even if i touch the screen nothing moves. touch flow works fine after 5 min but Opera Mobile and other programs open very slow. screen rotation doesn't react and also parts of the screen image from previous pg remain when i go to a new program. By "quick menu", i mean the top right corner where u can get to the task manager (i do have this turned ON in my settings).
Can someone pls help me??
i really don't wanna do a hard reset so do i have any other options? THX.
okay, quick menu finally shows up after 15 min or so? it seems like everything is running smooth.
i hope this isn't normal cuz it happens to me every time i power off and turn it back on.
Eeep, I'll be watching this, I love QuickMenu! If ATT ever releases the TP2, that is..
damn no replies. i'm having the same problem with my sprint touch pro 2. loading where i can actually use and that will respond fairly quickly takes a good 5 min. fortunately, after everything seems to work fine but there are times i soft reset to clear everything and slow load, EVERYTIME.
can someone help? I have S2U2 and have tried EVERY combination of options, don't think it can be any of the other utilities I installed
QuickMenu works just exactly the way it's always worked for me on the Tilt.. I haven't ever seen it run slowly. I ran the older version at first, then installed the new version so I could increase the spacing to make it easier for finger poking, both worked just fine.
Not sure however if I used it with TF3D, I nuked that after a day. I suppose it's easy enough to switch, so I did, and still no trouble. I have it assigned to my Win key, if I want to launch the "honeycomb" I tap the Start Menu text. I use a bit of a combo of both. I don't really use any special settings, about all I set is to auto start, register win key, right arrow to close program, x button long press to close, don't mess with anything else.

Keyboard/Touchscreen Help

My evo is acting up, hasn't been activated for 30 days yet so I can't file an insurance claim on it, wondering if there is something I can do to try and make it work. My touchscreen goes through spurts where it acts funky. The V G and Y keys don't respond to any touch and the whole area around the keys seems dead. when I hit either of the keys the screen picks up the key to the left of it. Now it doesn't always do this, just sometimes. I can rub the screen on my shirt and the keys will almost always go back to working. When this happens sense also acts up. Swiping to change screens doesn't work. Sometimes the screen hangs halfway between screens and stays there. Also with the browser when I try to scroll the browser will zoom almost like there is another finger on the screen doing pinch to zoom. It seems like a software problem because also at this time all of my sense widgets get messed up.
Is there a way to re-flash the stock rom back to the evo and start over? Hard reset doesn't do anything to alleviate the problem.
Don't chance it. File a claim.

[Q] phone is stuck at splash screen/lock screen

Hello, I could really use some help with this..
I have a rooted Samsung Galaxy Nexus (Verizon) using an older version of SuperSU (think around like .98). I also
installed the free version of Titanium Backup to uninstall apps... And everything was going fine. I consulated with forums and app lists of the safe apps to uninstall. I kept uninstalling apps and everything was fine, but then I rebooted my phone one day and everything wasn't. The phone boots and the nexus X splash screen appears. I think it usually stays stuck there unless I press buttons, boot in safe mode, or charge it. So then it gets to the lock screen in some of these cases. The notification bar at the top works and the screen will flash on for about 5 seconds before it goes black. And this will keep happening usually. Sometimes just the area where the wallpaper is supposed to be will be black, not everything is - the notification bar, lock symbol, and time all appear as normal on the lock screen.
The touchscreen doesn't appear to take any input really, expect that you can slide the lock symbol to unlock the phone... Only thing is, it doesn't actually do anything like bring you to the home screen like it should. This could be much easier to fix, but I uninstalled about 3 or 4 apps before this happened and off the top of my head I don't remember what they were. If I wrote them down I not don't know where that went. I recall that I uninstalled at least one package that had the word google in it. I also do not recall if I uninstalled the one time init.apk. I have data on this phone so if anyone could give me a direction to recovering the data or something.
My overall technical expertise is decent, but I'm more of a newbie when it comes to smartphone hacking.
One more thing, I forget to mention that the phone doesn't turn off from holding down the power button. I either have to wait until it dies or take out the battery.
Have you had any luck with this. Mine phone is having the same problem.

Change Home/Fingerprint button behavior

I just got a HTC10 to upgrade from the M9 I had, and so far, I'm liking it, even with the stock ROM (but rooted with Sprint bloatware frozen), but one thing I haven't been able to figure out is the home/fingerprint button behavior. If I'm at the home screen and I press it, I don't have a huge issue with it bringing up all the screens for me to pick which one I want (but long press for it would be better), but I find it annoying that when I am in an app and press it, it takes be to the screen where I have to select which page I want, rather than to the last one I was on. Is there a way that I am overlooking to change this behavior?

I think you mean the multitask button rather than the home button, and if you double press it it switches back to the previous app.

I think you are correct... but why why should I have to press the button once to get where I need a few more presses to get where I want or press it once plus still need few more presses to get where I want? Is there any way to change this misbehavior?
I guess you could say my annoyance with this (mis)behavior is related to muscle memory... Every other Android phone I've had would take you to your last 'home' page when you pressed the similar button.. This one is (mis)behaving differently from every other phone I've had... It woudl be really nice to change it.
FWIW, I was finally able to change the behavior of the home/multi-function/fingerprint button - by ditching the HTC ROM for LinageOS 14.1. Better battery life, no sprint junk, seems to run better overall and I can actually assign different ringtones or sounds to different contacts. For whatever reason, that option seemed to be absent on the HTC ROM.
I still don't get what behavior you mean? Or do you mean that when you press the home button you are taken to the standard home screen, instead of for example the app drawer or another home screen page? Quite confusing what you mean
