TF3D launches at startup but have to tap screen to display home screen.

When I boot up after reset or power off, the homescreen displays top task bar, bottom soft keys, and displays "launching TouchFlo3D..." and then... nothing. The screen stays like this until I tap it, and then it displays the home screen. Anybody else seeing this?

Even when just switching it on from a while on standby, I get a black screen.
I press the home or start buttons, and the home screen comes on ...... when it feels like it

I have never got no one to answer a question on here good luck...

Does touching the screen make it start?
I know that not turning off TF3D before installing some cabs can make it behave oddly- TF3D restarts, fails to launch at boot, etc...

Mine does the same thing except its just a plain screen until I touch it then it says launching tflo

Might have something to do with locking the device with a PIN/password. Try to disable that and see if many of your problems go away (switching to home screen on coming out of sleep or turning the screen on when in call and taking the phone away from the ear etc).

It has something to do with the PIN lock code, you're right.. now we just need someone to look into this further who knows how to troubleshoot these issues from the back-end.
Bump for more answers!

so i've tried checking on/off Today/Item/TF3D, tried Flight Mode, and it still won't work. i'm talking like only 30-50% of the time it does work. and I never had PIN1 enabled!
i'm no programmer but it is conflicting with apps we install because TF3D works perfectly when the phone was fresh or hard-resetted. btw i'm using 6.1 Stock T-mobile

Mandatory Update Bricked my Phone....

So I've had the Optimus G since last night, and I noticed there was an AT&T update, but I postponed it. However, after postponing it three times, it launched the update automatically and forced me to update. The phone rebooted into the update screen, going through a firmware and software update before rebooting again. It got to the AT&T "Rethink possible" logo and stays there forever. No amount of hard resets help. I had root before the update, but I've read on here that others had root and updated just fine.... has this happened to anyone else? Do I have any other option besides going back to AT&T?
EDIT: How do I boot into recovery mode? I've read that for other LG phones you have to hold down both volume buttons while holding the power, but when I do that it just goes to the AT&T splash like usual.

Did you try holding the power button? I was able to get into download mode by pressing pwr/vol+/vol- simultaneously with usb plugged in, but I don't know if that will help your situation.

Yikes, sorry to hear that. I had no problems and kept root.
Sounds like a return if you can't get it going quickly. You shouldn't have to deal with that on a mandatory update.
Good luck!

From the manual, that I downloaded from the LG website (not sure that this helps, if you don't know what to delete):
5. Using Safe Mode and System Recovery Using Safe mode
To recover your phone when malfunctioning.
1 Turn off your phone and reboot. When you see the booting animation (Rethink Possible SM) press and hold the Volume Down Key . Your Home screen will then be displayed with the words "Safe mode" in lower left corner.
2 From the Home screen, tap the Menu Key and tap All settings > General tab > Applications.
3 Tap one of the available tabs at the top of the screen and select the application you wish to uninstall.
4 Tap Uninstall and OK to confirm.
5 After uninstalling the application, turn off and reboot your phone.

Neither of these solutions did anything, but thanks anyways.

Bummer sorry to hear that. Is the att store far away? I really don't think this has anything to do with root.

No, it's only a few miles away, but as a college student with no car it makes things a little harder. I'm not sure what happened, I'm surprised they forced me to update...

CM11 issue freezing at lock screen when gpad is powered on

I have cm11 and if i power on the tablet and let it a couple of minutes it is freezed at the lock screen. I cant unlock it by swiping the screen and i cant press on the clock widget. If i press the power button it turns on or off the lock screen but i can still do nothing. Only way to restore it is to keep pressed the power button to hard reset the tab. It boots normally then if i unlock the screen and dont let it auto lock. Is anybody else experiencing this issue? It gets really annoying. Could it be the nova launcher because i cant remember this happening before installing it.

Your guess seems to be on the money. Stay away from all those launchers.

yep, i disabled the option from nova settings to autolock the desktop and that seemed to fix it. This option prevents any changes to desktop and it looks like that it conflicted with cm11

[Q] Trouble with locking the screen.

Hey guys,
When I woke up today my phone had some serious issue.
I can turn the phone on and off with the power button, but when the phone is lit and I want to
lock the screen, the button does not work. I can hold it in and get to the power meny, but when
i just tap it, nothing happens...
Do any of you know why it occour? Havent done anything unusual...
Clearly the button works, because I can enter the Power meny...
/Thanks

are you trying to turn the screen off on lock screen? if so just double tap the screen

Is the phone stock or modded (rooted, custom ROM, etc.)?

Did you try to reboot device already?

Yes, the first thing I tried.

I'm not completely clear on the issue. If you just tap the power button while the screen is on, it should turn off the screen (which in turn also locks it). If holding the power button until you get the power menu, the choices should just be Power Off, Restart, and Airplane Mode. I don't think there is an option to lock screen on that menu on a stock ROM (and actually no custom ROMs that I know of).

Sorry for the delay on the answers.
It's not that i can't access the power menu, that works fine.
But if you want to lock your screen, you just tap the power buttom and that dosent work.
And I just found out that the screen NEVER shouts down!? It's always on.
When I reeboot the phone, the screen darkens, but all the icons on the desktop is visible and when i try
to tap the screen it acts like its off!?
Can't even think of whats wrong with this now.
The power buttom clearly works, but i can't lock or shout down the screen.
It's like its always on!?

I'm having this exact same issue.

My solution
Obviously this is much too late for the OP, but for anyone who might still stumble on this thread (it is still one of the top hits on Google for this issue), I got mine working again by rebooting the phone, after first disabling fast boot in the settings. (Settings > Power > Fast boot - I should note my phone is the HTC One Mini 2, but I assume the M8 isn't too different in this regard).
I had previously attempted rebooting from the power options (both restart and power off), but this hadn't fixed the problem.

The Fast boot option in Settings was removed from the M8 as of Lollipop.
Even when the M8 had this option, it did not effect "Restart" in power options. At least on the M8, restart is always a try restart; and Fast boot only affected the "power off" condition.

Home button issues

Has anyone else had the home button stop working? It has happened to me twice and a reboot restores it. I'm running the stock US Unlocked but rooted RUU.

I've got the same problem. It worked after a reboot when I first got the phone. I put it in extreme power saver mode the next night and when I went back to standard mode my home button wouldn't work. I'm running everything stock, I'm on T-Mobile, I've tried updates, reboots, and a factory reset. Nothing has worked. I read a thread about an older HTC phone that said clearing the cache on HTC Sense worked for them but that didn't help for me either.

Best thing to do is to send it back for service. In my country (Belgium) HTC has great service. The sooner the better!

I've figured it out. How to fix the finger scanner /home button.
Start in your settings.
Then to apps. In apps hit the soft key in the top right corner of the screen. A new window will open up. Tap "show settings" this will show finger scanner app. Scroll down and tap on that app. Now tap "force stop". After this back out to home screen and restart your phone.
This should fix the problem. I had the same issues with my HTC 10. The scanner/home pad not working at all and no longer showing up in the "settings". I tried calling HTC customer care and did a hard reset..... 4x plus did a complete wipe and recovery. But that wouldn't fix the issue as well. So the other day I followed the top description. Now it works with no glitches.
Hope this helps you out.

Thank you so much, worked like a charm!
Edit: WORKED like a charm for boot up and a few minutes, but then stopped again. I assume I have a software interference issue...

Help
I also have this problem now both my home and finger sensor stopped working. I did a factory reset it worked for a bit and it stop working again. Please help.

Hi,
Similar thing happen to me but instead of the finger print my back button and recent app button stop working. The problem starts after i turn on the extreme power server and turn back off. I have tried hard reset and it will only work for few hours and then the same issue comes up. But i have notice if i open google maps both buttons work. I have not rooted the phone. Dose anyone knows how to fix this issue?.

Did you try to rescan your fingerprint from different positions. And another thing when used to fingerprint. Do you use smartlock setting? I mean maybe it detects you are in a trusted area and you do not even need to unlock it with fingerprint? Then it just shows the lockscreen when you tap it.
Greetings,

Same issue

I have this issue as well - and when I open google maps it works fine from there... Possible that it works from other apps but at other times they are really unresponsive. Did you ever fix your problem?
UPDATE - I just turned extreme power saver mode on then off and it seems to have fixed the issue for the moment...

OMG works!
