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

[Q] Press and hold home screen icon problem

Hi xda-developers,
I'm having problem relocating and removing my home screen icons.
When I press and hold any icon, it would vibrate and then back to normal. It seems like I released it - but I'm not. I would say my press and hold won't "stick".
FYI, my firmware version is 2.1 update 1, systems version 2.51.0.
Please help me.

Screen protector solved the problem.
But it is clearly stated in user manual not to use screen protector.
I'm confused.

you used a screen protector and the problem went away??

i have the exact same problem. my firmware is also the same. i tried a hard reset the first time it happened and everything seems normal for a few days. but it came back again. i tried switching launchers and it seemed to cure the problem. the problem seems to come from the launcher pro launcher, stock blur weather widget, and perfect system monitor widget combo, not really sure though but still trying to figure it out. i tried go launcher but the problem still crops up. im on adw now and crossing my fingers.

Yes. I just use screen protector during boot up. After boot up, I can remove the screen protector without having the problem.
There's something weird happening during boot up, something like calibrating the screen or something.
Is this defective hardware or software?

S Pen Question

Hey guys,
Is there a way to completely disable the S Pen to not write/do anything when it is in the air? It drives me nuts cause i can't control it and just scribbles or clicks on things when i don't want it to. I really just want it to click and do things when it is on screen..
Cheers in advance

simple, return it for a warranty

S-Pen
Hi
Go to ‘Setting’ - ‘S-Pen’ and turn off ‘Air view’.
A question to you: Do you have the problem that I have? If the phone goes into sleep whilst I'm reading something (this only happens at night when the ‘stay awake’ camera doesn't see me) and I wake the phone with the home button I go to the home screen and not to the last viewed p-ge. The only way I get to the last viewed page is if I wake the phone with the power putton.

Pressing the home button, just wakes the phone does not take me to the home screen. May its the app you are using, I am reading a PDF using Polaris.

This problem occurs if you freeze S-voice or disable the "Open via home key" in S-voice settings. You can unfreeze s-voice or re-enable the open via home button to get rid of the problem.
It's annoying, I know. Happens to me as well, since I disabled the double click to open s-voice because it induces a lag in the home button.

I've turned that off already. It still doing it though

The tip of your spen is stuck in, most likely. I saw a video of a guy tapping the end of his spen to unstick it, kind of swinging it. Best to get it replaced though.

Possible solution
This is a solution to the infamous S-Pen hover/pressing problem (where it will register a press when it's not touching the screen!)
I tried turning off air view, tried tapping and moving the pressure sensor tip... nothing seemed to fix it properly .. nothing except adjusting the potentiometers in the s-pen
The rough guide:
1. Remove the button from the s-pen (a sharp blade in the middle and levering up should do remove it but be careful it doesn't fly off somewhere unknown!.
2. Adjust the potentiometer (variable resistor) closest to the stylus tip (the writing bit). Turn it clockwise to make it less sensitive and CCW to increase it. A few degrees should be enough.
3. Replace the button - put the tongue side in towards the stylus tip and then rest the button on the stylus. Press the raised end towards the tip and down.
Test (actually you might want to test it before you do step 3!)
A big thanks to kevie88 on YouTube for suggesting it in a comment - a quick web search seemed to confirm it. I made a how to video that might help someone.
I called Samsung support and they are sending me a new s-pen anyway so I thought the above method was worth a go

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

No lock screen and home buttone?! WTF?

Not really sure what happened, but randomly my lock screen stopped appearing. When I hit the power button it goes right to the home screen.
Also, the home button will not bring me back to the home screen when I'm in the app drawer or operating within an app, but yet the home screen will wake the device up to no lock screen so I have to use the back key to get back to the home screen.
Really weird.
I'm running wicked v.10 and tried reinstalling the ROM to no success.
Help!!
Thanks,

If you are using Wanam Exposed then that is the reason.
Some of the options and settings in it can cause the issues you are experiencing.
If you have Wanam installed then open Xposed Framework and
click on "Framework" then select "uninstall" and reboot the phone.
It's a lot easier and faster that way than trying to search/find the exact
setting/option which was enabled that caused the issue in the first place.
Reinstalling it is fast and easy and does not require guesswork.
You can always re-install it really fast.
If you have not used Wanam then it must be some other mod which
was installed that's causing the issue.
Good luck!

Shoot. Didn't work. I Uninstalled it and the problem was still present.
I looked at my most recent updates apps and there wasn't anything significant.
Any other ideas?

Found out that it was the Google Home Launcher I installed. I uninstalled it using Titanium and POW, everything came back.
Not sure why that happened. but whatever.
WHEW!
