[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.

[Q] Updated but touch screen off

Note 8 not rooted updated fine but now my touch screen is off (have to touch links below where they are) and Chrome cuts off the top of the screen. It was "suppose" to make it more stable...

Sounds like your image is offset in some way. What have you tried to resolve it so far? Reboot? Wipe cache?

Rebooted, of course. Wiped cache. But that's about all you can do. I thought there was a calibration process in Settings but, if there is, it eludes me. I can't even get the S-pen to calibrate. I suppose I could do a factory reset and start from scratch but its not worth the aggravation.

the same issues with stock, no root. can't figure out a solution either.

I've got this too on a totally stock GN8 with the latest Chrome. Have any of you figured out how to fix it?

I'm noticing this too, in portrait mode only. I think landscape is fine, but haven't done any testing. I'm stock, rooted only.

OK, that's more than just me with this problem. How about it, smart folks? Any ideas? Best I got was do a factory reset and hope for the best. Really don't want to have to re-setup my toy again.

I too hope for someone more clever than me to figure out a workaround. Until then, Firefox for Android looks and performs wonderfully on this tablet - in portrait or otherwise. Check it out!

Actually, I haven't been able to recreate this problem since I posted this. I'm wondering if it was caused by the cover I used to use which had a very strong magnet. I'm now using the Samsung light cover.
If I see it again I will post it, but so far so good, knock on wood.

I have a nonmagnetic cover so that's out. Too bad for me! Still with me.

Got another update Monday - not sure what it did but it was there - and it seemed to fix the issue for awhile. Now it's back the way it was. Oh well.

Gave up and went to Opera. Fixed all the problems so the issue was Chrome not working right.

[Q] Lag going from Portrait to landscape

I have been having this issue since I got my Note 3 last week. It happens no matter what rom I am using.
My Note has a lag when going from portrtait to landscape when I turn the device. The lag is about 3 seconds and is very annoying. Does anyone else have this issue? Is it just the way it is or is there a adjustment in the settings I do not see? Like I said it happens no matter what rom I am running even stock.
Thank you very much.
Jeff

My stock rooted Note 3 does not have a lag switching. Might be you have some app that is causing the issue.

Yep, rooted stock on mine is maybe half a second.

Turn off the 'smart rotation' feature. I did this and it solved my issue.

Yup this would do it. Had the same happened to my s4 when I had it on. It checks to see your head orientation prior to changing.

I think it is on by default

I had to do a clean install to fix it... Just rebooting didn't work :/

Same...
I have the same problem, I'm on v7. Rebooted a few times, haven't reinstalled yet.
Hoping someone has a better solution, only because it would suck to do a clean install and have the same thing happen again a couple of days later.
After the clean install did it ever happen again?
Also, is this a Rom problem or is it Huawei's fault? (It is a Beta...)

For me the problem seemed to be conflicting XPosed modules... If you have those, try disabling them.

Power button problem

Hi, I purchased a Note 2 gtn-7105 LTE version, Yesterday and my power button is not working as it should be. Some times it will work flawlessly wile others it will not work at all' Sometimes spamming the button will unlock/Lock the screen. Or with great pressure being pushed on to it.
I also checked the odin screen
Binary is okay
Samsung original is okay
But know warrenty is void 1
Could this be a bug on the power button with somebody flashing roms/rooting etc?
Also the power button acts up when the phone is switched off and I need to power it up.
Thank you ! :thumbup:

If your problem is not related with hardware. It could be just that your phone is lagging and is not waking up immediately cause many people happen to have this problem. Also to test if its not your hardware problem try booting into recovery, CWM and philz recovery have an option for testing out the keys in the advanced section

There might be some button testing apps you can try, since the problem is not there for you always try repeated checking. And if he results are fine then the problem is with your phone being laggy. Try getting greenify(it has a mode to work without root) and greenify as much as possible to reduce the lag. Also uninstall unwanted stuff. As a last resort factory reset

Thanks a lot

Put a custom ROM on And it seems to have fixed my issue. Seems to be a 4.4 problem with the stock ROM. Phones running flawlessly now!
