I did some work on one of the 2 non rooted units that I have and installed the Llama options for "sleep mode" where the unit boots to XBMC when turned on, goes to sleep after 20 minutes and if yo hit the home button it still takes you back to the FTV home page but with no activity for 15 seconds it goes to sleep again. If you hit the OK button it wakes back up in XBMC. What a great setup for a non rooted unit. Kudos to the Kodi.wikki site for the information and way to do it.
Long story short, I took my second unit and did a factory restore on it to set it up the same way. All went well, but I notice that now up at the top of the home page where the recently view items are, all of the original shortcuts are gone...Netflix, Youtube, Classic TV...... 14 or so of them in all and in thier palce now are two or three info videos including the original one you have to sit through to even get the unit working and two more new ones as well as a shortcut to Prime TV.
My question is.....is ther anyway to delete these videos and get them off my unit. They simply taKe up space and after having to watch that first one at least a dozen time now I don't even want to see a shortcut to it!!
Someone please say there's an easy way to delete them and tell me how.....
Thanks!
PS... I noticed other several subtle changes in the layout even though my firmware didn't change. I can't explain how it happened, but another change is when you go to settings, applications and manage all applications. The window with all of the installed aps used to open up to the right of the main app screen.....now it opens to the left of the main screen. Again, no big deal, but something did change today after resetting the unit and I just set it up for the first time several days ago....it's now different. I just want to eliminate those instructional video shortcuts though!

Hey there.. I just installed the Energy ROM after having received this phone as a gift from a friend (with an unknown other ROM installed). I haven't had any problems with it for several weeks until just earlier today when the Quick List has decided to randomly start appearing on my screen. I don't even know how to trigger that screen to appear myself, but I can leave my phone unlocked on my desk and it'll randomly show the Quick List for a little while, then it'll vanish, sometimes extremely quickly. But I can't do anything on the phone anymore since it's constantly appearing and interrupting whatever I'm trying to do.
Like I said, I attempted to install an Energy ROM (Energy.RHODIUM.21916.Sense2.5.Cookie.2.0.Mar.08.7z, according to the file I downloaded from the Energy website) and it just finished no more than 30 minutes ago. As soon as I turned the phone back on from a reboot, that dang Quick List screen appeared.
Does anyone know why it keeps popping up and how I can get it to quit? Or is there some way I can just disable the Quick List altogether (as the options on it aren't really useful anyway..)? Thanks for any help ya'll can provide!
Started having this problem a few weeks ago. Did some hardresets, some task29 and tried different roms. But this quick list keeps appearing outof nowhere. Starts to get frustrating.
It's happening again...
So, for no reason that I could tell, it magically started working again (same rom as listed above) and I never saw the Quick List window again until today.
Today, I was using that same ROM as before, but the Quick List window started appearing. I thought that perhaps it was just something to do with that build, so I upgraded to the English build available at (well, tried giving the link but apparently I haven't posted enough, so never mind). It's at "http : // Energy Roms dot com forward slash www forward slash flavors forward slash sencity.html" for the HTC Touch Pro 2 Cookie (April 8, 2011 version). The ROM installs without a problem (absent the annoying attempts to get the phone to not constantly display the Quick List) but as soon as I power the phone on, the Quick List starts blinking on again.
I searched around as before for a solution and thought I could just disable the setting so that when I hold the end call button, it displays the Quick List, but after 10+ attempts to get to the settings window without the Quick List appearing and interrupting me (then closing itself automatically and displaying the Home screen), I finally got the setting saved and it didn't change anything.
Is it possible to just turn the Quick List feature off? Is there some known reason why it has possessed my phone? Thanks for any help ya'll can give.
Is there still no solution for self appearing Quick List? because I have the same problem :/
EDIT:
I've solved it The front keys flex need to be reconnected to main flex because "endkey" was self pushed what in energy rom is configured to turn on Quick List.
I'm not a frequent poster, so excuse me if this isn't he right place to ask.
I have a TP2, RHOD500, Sprint flashed to Boost
My ROM is Standard Energy 21xxx (with the old start button). Hopefully, other can refer here for these issues, if they haven't already been fixed:
1) Activesync icon on taskbar, overlapping signal bars
I've seen a reg edit to make it invisible, but on other energy roms, (like GTX), the symbol does not overlap the signal. Is there a non-invisible option?
2) Random Start Button Freezes/Temp Phone Freezes
When I go to the home screen, MANY times the start button locks up and doesn't come up. But I can still use the home screen and press buttons and launch apps. It would take about 2 minutes before the start button works, or a soft reset.
Also, the entire phone freezes on the home screen. I would sometimes tap around to see if it works, and nothing happens. 2 minutes later, whatever program I tapped comes up, but when I return to the home screen, it's still frozen. Perhaps sense freezes? If so, how can I still launch apps from it, though it does delay?
3) All Settings option doesn't work
I go to the settings on Sense and then click "Menu" and "All Settings". The screen dims, as if the settings was to come up, but nothing happens. I click the screen, and it takes me back to Sense settings, as if I was clicking out of a window.
That's really it. I though Energy would be awesome, but it just made the phone all buggy in these respects. "Why don't you go back to stock?" Well, might as well try to solve the problem than quitting right? Well, any help would be appreciated, and if I have to move this topic, let me know. If you need any more info, just let me know.
try reflashing the rom onto your device, Ive found that doing that sometimes fixes some issues...maybe you got a problematic download too...I'm running the April 29th sense 2,5 sencity rom, build 21916, and it's flawless...I would also suggest posting in the thread for that rom/device, you're likely to get support there
Alright, Ill try that. I did flash at a comp that wasn't my own, so that opens the door to outside variables. I didn't think of that.
And yes, I will move this thread and questions after I reflash if any problems persist.
Thank you.
Hello All,
I am starting this thread for known issues with the Galaxy Tab Pro 10.1
So far I have noticed the following issues:
1. If you enable Google Search ans S-Voice and hold the tablet in your hand while putting a little pressure on the back of the tablet as if you were trying to bend it, does it launch either of the above mentioned applications? Mine does.
2. I also have a lot of apps exiting at random to the Home Screen.
3. Folders on the Home screen stop working at random. I have to press a few times to get them to work and then it only works sometimes.
4. Dolphin browser exits to the Home screen if i press and hold on any part of the webpage that does not trigger an article link. Sometimes it lunches Google search and/or S-Voice.
I am wondering if mine is defective or has a corrupt image. I have tried to reset it and reinstall my apps with the same result.
Thank you for you responses and I am looking forward to them.

I'm not experiencing the issues you described in 1-3. I just installed Dolphin and checked a couple pages, pressing on non-link areas as you described, and it didn't exit to the Home screen or launch the other apps.
I did find an issue in the My Files app the other day: If you rename a file within My Files, attaching that file to an email doesn't work because the renamed file doesn't appear in the list. I've tried with Gmail and the built-in email client, but neither could see the newly renamed file. Clearing the recent apps didn't help; I had to reboot the device and then I was able to attach the renamed file to an email.

Hello Jaegorith,
Regarding issues 1-3
1. Hold the tablet using both your hands, one on each side, you thumbs on the white part of the bezel and your eight remaining fingers, four each hand, on the back of the tablet while pressing with all your fingers and not really applying a lot of pressure but enough.
2. With me it is happening however I might be brushing the home button or the return key without noticing. I tried to pay attention but I do not notice me doing that however it could also be a bug with Kit Kat. I have not read anything on other forums that mentioned anything like it.
3. When I first created them them they were working fine however they started misbehaving after a little while.
4. If hold your thumb for 2 seconds on the screen, does Dolphin collapse to the Home screen?
5. I will look into our issue and try to duplicate the problem.
6. I typed this up on the tablet and while typing on the Samsung keyboard, Dolphin crashed to the Home screen severe times. I noticed that while pressing the space bar, being that it is close to the Home Button, it colapses. I am starting to think that my Home Button is reacting to my touches even though I am not engaging it directly.
Thanks for your reply.

Do you have to press your Home Button to trigger the action, like on the Galaxy s 4, or do you just touch it?
After calling Samsung tech support I found out that the home button should push in and mine does not. This is the way I received the tablet I already filled out an RMA request through Newegg. Sorry for the confusion.
Jaegorith, I have not yet tried to duplicate the issue you wrote about, however when I receive my replacement tablet tomorrow I will try it and let you know.

Thanks, and glad to hear they're replacing your tablet.
Sent from my SM-T520 using XDA Premium HD app
Hi! I'm hoping someone can help as rerooting and/or even backing up my data is not an option with my computer out of commission. I'm on a rooted Kindle Fire HD (the original one from 2012; this thing's so old it's got burn in problems on the screen) with firmware 8.4.3 and seem to have accidentally broken the lock screen ads. I want them back, as the placeholder is ugly and I'm one of those people who like them. Here's what happened:
Yesterday, the calendar app icon in my favorites menu (which I use as a quick way to see the date while in an app) turned into a corrupted-looking grey blob. Being sick and not thinking logically, I freaked out thinking the glitch was permanent and googled ways to fix it. One site said to go to the app manager and clear data and cache of the app called Launcher...
Not only did that not work, but suddenly my kindle went through the registration screen! But, thankfully, it already knew who I was ('this kindle is registered to [My Name], is that correct' or somesuch). It then gave me the tutorial screen like when you first register a kindle... But after that went right to my home screen with everything still set up and installed. I lost zero data that I know of and only a handful of settings-- most notably the one to turn off 'customers also bought...' on the home screen. All I had to do was set that again and it took effect. Today, at midnight, the icon for the calendar came back since it changed to display the new date. But I've got another problem I can't seem to solve.
Now, my lock screen takes a moment too long (usually no more than a second or two, thankfully, but sometimes a mini eternity) to come on, and when it does it has a generic, ugly image that says to verify my kindle is registered and connected to wifi. It is both registered and connected-- in fact, I'm using it right now to type this. I want the special offers back, but it still hasn't downloaded new ones or shown any indication that it can anymore.
I checked, and there were no system/assets and system/.assets folders, which i know are related to lock screen ad removal hacks. I added back empty folders with those names using ES File Explorer, rebooted the tablet, but it's been eight hours so far and no change. Could someone help me restore the lock screen ads? Maybe provide the relevant files/folders to put in assets if that would help and not carry a notable risk of bricking?
So about 2 weeks ago I got a galaxy z fold 3 device which I really like and it hasn't really given me any problems, with one exception - I assume it's because of the newer models interference with the app itself, because kindle may not have been entirely configured for the fold's versatility. Anyways, sometimes there's this glitch that appears when I open a book on my kindle app and zoom into the fonts to increase its size, and when I do that the page splits into one full page and one half cut-off page on the open screen, making reading uncomfortable. The same happens when the fold is closed and I just use the front screen. The glitch goes away when I restart the app, however it's really frustrating having to live with the uncertainty of when that problem appears in seemingly random time periods. I understand the extra steps for it to work regularly don't seem very important to begin with, but if you had to bash your front door twice or three times into its hinge for it to close properly, you would probably consider moving out or at least getting a new, working door. I can't find any relevant information online - is there someone with a similar problem who knows what's up with this? Thanks
I am not sure I am following you on the issue. I, literally, read books on my Kindle App on my Fold 3 every night before bed. I have opened a book and tried the whole Zooming thing you described, but I am just getting text zoomed in and out with no split pages or any blank sections anywhere.
A couple things you can try is to go into the App Settings and then Storage and Clear CACHE (not data) and see if it helps.
You can also uninstall the app and re-install to see if that helps.
Other than that, can you provide screenshots and/or a video?
Try clearing the cache of the app, update it, and uninstall it and re install it again, then reboot your phone
