[Q] Problems with shortcuts? - Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I keep having problems with my shortcuts on my homescreen.
I have all my favourite apps in 4 folders on my homescreen, when I open apps, sometimes for the second time when they prob still running, they won't open and just force close.
They keep doing this unless I open them from the app draw and then they are fine again.
It's not all apps and it's not all the time but it's annoying when it happens as I obviously have them on my homescreen to speed things up lol.
Anyone shed any light on this?

[Q] homepage and rotation question

The defy has 6. And a home page. Im not using two of them how do i remove them? Tmobile was no help. 2nd question is there something that can rotate my screen upside down. ? Thanks for reading
I'm not sure whether you can do it with the stock launcher (though you should be able to) but I know with LauncherPro you can choose the number of homescreens by pressing Menu, then Preferences > Homescreen Settings.
thanks
I gave it a shot it works well. However i just don't like the home icons. I like the ones that came with it. (3) call. The circle thing and contacts is there any way to get them with launcher pro?
Well, you can change the default icons long-pressing on them. Choose the default ones or find some nice icon online and change it
Thanks

Hi, I am using 2.2 and sometimes my device hangs and reboots itself. When i was in landscape befor then the homescreen is in landscape after auto- reboot. So technically landscape is possible, but how to switch its orientation by yourself is a other question.
Greetings
To make it go to landscape once ur in launcherpro hit the 4 square button then behavior then check auto rotate. U should b good.

Icons Keep Disappearing: Why?

Does anyone have any idea why the icons keep disappearing? I'm talking about the shortcuts to applications you can put where the widgets are. It's the place were you can put shortcuts, widgets or folders.
You mean in the launcher, yes?
I had the same problem. It sometimes happens to the apps that are on sd card and when you boot the phone and start using it too early, before all apps load. Next time try to give your phone some time after reboot, a minute or minute and half shoult be fine to load everything and then start using your phone. I do it every time and it's fine for me.
Cheers

im also experiencing this, after a reboot even if i wait for 10-15 minutes before i use it, some apps from the shortcut i made are not there anymore..
Then it's a software problem?
It's an Android problem i believe ; you can use titanium backup to backup the sony ericsson home app or you can use a launcher which allows you to backup your homescreen i.e go launcher.
I found turning off the animation fixed this for me.

Had the same problem and after re-creating folders several times [painfully as I had all my games in individual folders by genre] I finally gave up on it. It happens anytime you pull the battery / switch sim card or unmount the sd.
The solution I came up with was an app called 'Apps Organizer' I now label and create folders/shortcuts using that app and all works well

[Q] Home Screen Icon Gone

Every time I exist the browser or an app with the home key, it take awhile for the icons/apps/widget to appear. Does anyone facing this problem?
Yeah this happens to me too..it lags for like half a second

It's not "lag". It's the launcher application reloading after being released from memory. It usually happens when closing a memory intensive app like a browser or game. The only time I have experienced this on the GNex is when closing Chrome.
Will there be a fix for this? Because it happens every time I exit the browser.
Just get a new launcher, or get a new launcher first, use that to uninstall the old launcher, then reinstall it.

Nova Launcher stutters.. where should I look for a problem?

Hi,
I use Nova Launcher (the non free version).
I have nearly 100 shortcuts grouped in groups and in 4 screens.
Up to 4 simple widgets (clock etc.).
Once a while if I press Home (while in any app), it takes up to 10-20 seconds to show me a home screen. While waiting 10-20s I see just my background. And then everything's back to normal.
It happens few times a day and is a bit annoying.
Notifications and recent apps - works normally. And it saves me as I can access recent apps without a home screen.
What could cause such Nova behavior? How to solve that? Clear Nova settings and start over again?
It's getting knocked out of memory when it does that and has to reload. Have you tried turning "aggressive desktop" on in Nova's advanced settings? There's other ways to force it to stay in memory, but that's the easiest way.

Default launcher issue

Hi, this may be silly, but is anyone having issues adding apps to the home screen using the default built in launcher?
It feels like half the time when I long press an app or a widget in the app drawer, nothing happens, or maybe I just end up launching the app. The launcher behaves as if the long press is not being detected. A long press on the home screen works fine however (I get a prompt to change the wallpaper).
I typically use Nova and that's not an issue there. But when I tried the default launcher I keep getting problems.
Thanks.
