Homescreen reset? - Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Has anyone else had a homescreen reset where your homescreen just goes back to stock? just happened to me a while ago and its quite annoying. My wallpaper stayed the same though. Is it due to low memory? (36mb or so)

Don't need an answer anymore, realise it was my fault- I installed rf2012 which takes about 24mb or so and my memory got reduced to mere kb's-so I guess that's the problem

When I press home my apps dissapear for a while

This happens a lot. Is this normal? If so is it a ram issue with the phone? And is there anyway to improve that?
I haven't got around to permanently rooting my phone I have the stock OTA but if it can fix this somehow I will definitely do it. Thanks in advance

You mean when you press home your homescreen reloads and apps reappear in a few seconds? Seems normal as of now. Running CM6.1.0RC1 still happens. Haven't found anything to really fix this.
Root and overclock problem solved. Zoom zoom

Same here, when I overclock more than 1 g that problem seems to go away.
I used to have the same problem with the good old G1. Back then I thought it was because if not enough memory. Enabling "lock screen in memory" in launcherPro or AWD solved the problem. If you are not using them, run to the market and download one if them. No root needed

Yea I press the home button and my apps are invisible I guess and it last like 5 to 10 seconds and it happens a lot like every other time I press home.
Well in that case ill try to get around to rooting it.
launcherpro seemed to fix the problem so far thanks.

I'm overclocked at 1.1 and still always experience this problem. Also locked home app in memory in CM settings as well as enabled system persistent and still no fix for me. It's not bad, homescreen always came back. On my myTouch when this happened they'd sometimes just stay gone.

My mytouch used to do that too lol. But maybe its different for each rom. I started using launcherpro and that doesn't happen anymore

My myTouch stopped as soon as I enabled system persistent and enabled compcache.
Setting my mhz to the lowest number in the screen off setcpu profile seemed to take care of that problem for me, but it only happend to me when I was overclock to 1400+ and only when i unlocked the screen.

Lag redraw on home screen

So I thought I'd bring this up and see if others are having the same issue as me. I purchased a Google play galaxy nexus and it recently updated to 4.1.1. I've noticed that since the update there is often some home screen redraw where the icons and launcher reloads on the home screen. I thought maybe it was the flip board app doing that since after I hit home after using it it would redraw the home screen. I've uninstalled but I got another redraw. I have plenty of internal memory. I've also gone into setting, developer settings and allowed only a 4 processes at a time thinking my RSM was being used up. How much ram is available ? Is there a way to figure that out?. Anyone else getting this?. Btw I'm completely stock and not rooted. Never been rooted and no unlocked boot loader. I will not root and flash Roms. Any ideas.

Found out I have 218 mb free and used around 450 something. For some reason maps processes are running in the background. Anyone recommend any settings or cache apps

Flickering screen

Not sure if this has been brought I tried looking a few pages back but didn't see anything. Anyone else having this problem with the screen flickering while its dimming ? I noticed it was doing this even on a stock ROM unrooted. Then I rooted and loaded a custom rom and it still does it. Does anyone else have this issue ?

It dims really slow and there is a flicker otherwise. Known thing.

Had the same problem, I did a factory data reset. It's a pain in the ass but it fixed the problem.
Good Luck.

Any ideas why my clock reverts to G.M.T.?

I'm running "Darkside eVolution" and almost every time my phone reboots, or restarts from shutdown, and sometimes just randomly, my notification bar clock will have reset itself from Pacific Time, to Greenwich Mean Time. And depending on the time of day, (or night) the date gets whacked too.
Its weird because the settings are still checked the way they should be. Maybe someone knows a WY to fix this? I would sure be a happy S.O.B. if there is a way.
Thanks in advance.

S4 lagging.

From about a week, I have noticed my s4 lagging. I have a S-View like cover, so whenever I close it, the screen doesn't go to the black and doesn't show me all the details, instead it stays like that for 5 seconds then goes to the S-View screen. Then I noticed, sometimes when I try to put my phone on vibrate, I press the volume down all the way and the phone goes to vibrate, but the volume slider comes after about 6 seconds. Anyone else experiencing this too? Thanks.

Ya well could it be from the ridiculous amount of ram thats taken ...heck it used to be that 2g of ram was unheard of then the s3 got it, now its common on all phones almost. .. yet the s4 of the 1.78gigs avail we only get to use 0 .78g. I swear unless im seeing things crooked every time I clear my ram, it still shows a gig used and a 0.78g available. ..Now the s3 and N2 all are around 600mb used of 1.78 available. To me I think ram plays a big part with lag issues, and the s4 o.s is evidentally a fully packed and loaded o.s

At first i thought it was just the Samsung OS that was causing such lag, so i installed CM10.1 only to find out that it is pretty much the same. There is something weird with the GS4 and stuttering when animations happen or just overall lagginess.
I too get this lag sometimes. It's very comparable to what I was experiencing on touchwiz with my s3. Switching to aosp (tried a few different roms) made it run much smoother, especially without all the bloat and background processes running.
I'm sure once development for these phones pick up we will see more changes to the performance of this phone. I think more ram would help, but for what we have, debloating would be my best suggestion on touch wiz.
Also, I use nova launcher which is pretty light and maybe it's just me but I have less of that lag now.
