Develop Bugs

[Q] How do you fix Force Close when removing a home screen?

Hi All,
I am in the UK and have a new 16GB White unbranded unlocked Note 2 running stock JB 4.1.1, the device has never been modified or rooted. When I go into aerial view and attempt to drag a home screen into the trash I get a Force Close in Touchwiz which restarts and the home screen remains in place. I have tried format of cache in recovery but it made no difference. I don't want to do a factory reset and lose my stuff, but will do if thats the only fix. Do I have any other options? Has anybody got this problem and did you resolve it?
Thanks for any replies
Phil

Surely someone has at least experienced the dame problem ?

That happened to me when i diasbled animations in settings, development options, always enable them from 0,5 or higher.

Anyone found a solution to this problem. I had disabled animations from the "Developer Options" previously. I have enabled them now but I am still getting the crash.

Try reboot in recovery and wipe cache and reboot.

You read right, if your messages' sound is working and you are sure your speakers are alright then it is probably some application you installed, not like tweeter but an application that is setting your phone to silent.
1. Check if you have any apps that configure settings for you like Tasker or any other third party application that you installed
2. Check "quiet hours" settings which sets your phone to be silent for specific time
You definitely don't need to flash the entire firmware just because of this, at best you'll have to clear data/factory reset through recovery (stock or custom, doesnt matter). This will wipe your messages/contacts/apps so make sure you take backup before doing this.

uninstall antivirus
I had this issue and it was due to antivirus...
Try unistalling ur antivirus and reboot
see if it works.....

if u r using try uninstalling it.

If you're speakers are working fine, and you can actually hear the call ringing before the phone goes silent then your phone is fine.
It's one of the apps you are using to alter functions of your phone or one of the settings you tampered with that is creating this problem.
If you can't figure out what you have messed up, simply reflash your ROM/firmware and check if the problem is still there without any of your apps installed.

Nope this is lame..

I remember it reset like right after my cycle ended and I paid my bill but it came back a couple weeks later.

... Bump

Go to settings - apps - all tab , and select data usage. Force stop, and clear cache and data. Reboot and see if that fixes it.

Have you tried checking the limit mobile data and alert me about boxes, and then use the slider on the graph to set the limits to something unreachable?

What rom are you on? Stock or Custom and if custom which one? I notice your dock bar and app folders are different but that doesn't tell me much.

Yup and that doesn't do anything either. The only time it went away was when my monthly cycle ended then it went away but then came back. I read online about quiet a few other people having this issue on 4.3

I would back up sd card. Then do a factory reset. Something is buggy. You could also just wait for kit Kat and see if it fixes it. Should be this week hopefully for the update.

[Q] Q: strange behavior after kitkat; on touch another program opens

Hi all,
I have a strange kitkat problem, now the sound bug is fixed, but when I push or touch an icon on desktop, another program opens, and after a few seconds the program that was meant to open starts...
Any idea how to fix this? I don't want to do a factory reset or something similar...

Hard reset is factory reset, right?
So backup first? Is titanium still the best?

Lag

I'm experiencing a slight lag when switching between apps or the app drawer and the homescreen. Anyone else this or the solution? I also have Nova installed but would like to use the standard launcher for a while.

I already tried that but I got a message that there was insufficient memory... Maybe now, with a sd card inserted, it will work.

Simply enable a 30 second or so delay for the settings to kick in after a reboot. If your settings will make the phone unstable you have time to alter them/disable TricksterMod after a bootup.

What did you change in yours? I guess I'll give it a try, after all it might be worth messing things up if it improves performance.
