Installing Apps

Sometime after I installed an app, i got my home screen loading which takes about 30 sec to load up everything. Does anyone have a solution for this problem?

this has somthing to do with apps2sd in froyo, when you move an app to the sd card, the sd card gets unmounted for a few seconds, its no biggy tho happens to me

There are times after i exit from an app, it again show me loading on the home screen.

I have this problem also. It tend to happen to me most often when exiting either the browser or market.
Can be pretty annoying as it resets some of my widgets' info.
Not a deal breaker though.

I had the same problem with ny G1 and a hero Rom. It was because of the memory. The RAM of my G1 simply got full and that was the way of the hero Rom to free ram and reload all Stuff. But with a DHD this should not happen ! Try to look how much memory u got left when this happens. With a taskmanager or something like that.

Any solutions anyone?

Any kind souls can help us? Thanks in advance.

HTC wildfire loves mucking up after a few hours

Hi, I have the HTC wildfire A33333 model and it's been having issues with CyanogenMod where after a few hours, screens will show up blank from apps, however redrawing assets make them show. However, pressing where I guess them to be works. System assets cause issues too, the notification bar can have an invisible background and the keyboard will be invisible. Also the power menu is invisible, making it difficult to restart normally.
I am on the latest radio (20.10) and only use 3g and wifi. 2g makes these problems worse and reboots the phone, however my SD card isn't recognised.
My SD card is 16gb
I hope I can get this fixed

Which version of CyanogenMod are you using? And have you tried reflashing that CyanogenMod rom?

[Q] AudioIn wakelock, battery is lasting 4 hours on stock!

Hi,
I'm still on non-rooted stock and I can't for the life of me figure out what's causing this wakelock. I reset the whole phone to factory defauls and closed all apps, still won't go away!
Please see ss attached
Any ideas?
Thank you!

If you have reset and it still happens, this points to perhaps something on your SD card.
I had this a while back before I rooted. A number of things can cause it, but this is what worked for me;
I had a music folder called 'Allsorts' which had LOADS of tracks and Power Amp tried downloading album art for the lot. Somehow mediascanner got stuck on one of these pictures. Once I deleted all the album art out of that folder, it stopped happening.
To quickly determine if this is something on your 'SD card' getting mediascanner stuck, put a .nomedia file in the root of your SD card and reboot your phone. See if the problem stops. If it does, you then just need to move this .nomedia file from the root into other folders to narrow down the location of the problem.
Failing that, backup everything on your SD card, and then reformat it. If it stops, move stuff back a bit at a time.
Only other things I can think of are;
Try turning off 'Sync Google Photos' & 'Sync Instant Upload' in your Google account sync settings.
or
Turn off 'Pocket Mode' in sound settings (always turn that off IMO - silly option)
or
Turn off 'Screen Lock Sound' in sound settings. (not sure about this one. Just read somewhere it caused someone wakelock troubles).

Thank you for your elaborate and detailed response! It would appear the problem is indeed with some files on my sdcard. I'm trying the nomedia file on my music folders now. Thanks again!

On Google Now options...turn off from any screen.

SOLVED: Unable to install Amazon Appstore?

I am having a problem installing the Amazon Appstore (and the foxfi installer too now that I think about it). I am able to download the APK and run it but once in the program the install button does nothing. I mean I click on it and there is no error message, no program crash, nothing. It's almost like the install button image isn't a button and I'm clicking on nothing. Clicking cancel or show all for the permissions works fine.
I have enabled install from unknown sources and even tried to disable it and try but nothing works. Has anyone encountered anything like this before? TIA for any help.
EDIT: BTW I'm on stock and not rooted.
SOLVED: Thanks to Zerkai it appears that Screen Filter and Screen Adjuster can prevent APKs from installing.

Try to install these apps with an APK Installer. Like the following.
https://play.google.com/store/apps/...SwyLDEsImNvbS5wb3RlbnRlLmFway5pbnN0YWxsZXIiXQ..
See if that changes anything.

Just tried that and it is exhibiting the same issue. Called amazon and they hadn't heard of it and had no suggestions on how to fix it. They did mention security apps might be able to block installs and that led me to look at my apps. I did have Norton mobile security installed but stopping it and then even uninstalling it didn't get rid of the issue.
This is really starting to frustrate me.

May sound obvious, but have you tried restarting your phone?
If you were rooted I'd recommend clearing your dalvik and /cache.
One thing you may try is cleaning up your SD card.. Even try renaming the android folder on your sd card. It holds app data for diff apps. you system will recreate it. just delete the recreated on and change the name back after you've tested it.
The only other option (that comes to mind) is a factory reset. I would try the other stuff first. Something is corrupt somewhere.

By any chance are you using, Screen Filter?

I am not, but I did have screen adjuster installed and figured whatever screen filter was doing might be done by screen adjuster. So I uninstalled and guess what it worked now. Thanks a lot Zerkai, you the man.
But wtf would screen filter do that could cause this?

Beats me. Lol. I was baffled when I figured out Screen Filter was the cause. But all is well as long as it's not active. Have a good day!

Old thread. Yes, I know. Came across this thread trying to fix the same issue. The app causing the issue for me was JuiceDefender. I think JD controlling the screen's brightness level was the issue. Anyway, I disabled JD and I was able to access the button.

I have the same problem i am rooted and was throwing away bloatware every now and then i tend to hit a button accidently no room
to hold the phone without touching the screen here and there so i thought i accidently deleted it somehow until i found out the apk is still
in system\app, titanium backup shows it as uninstalled since there is no more icon on the home screen or the app drawer.
Anyone have any idea how we can get it back so all works again?

The only way I could get it back was by restoring to factory settings.
Hope this doesn't happen again.

wow that sucks i only have the phone a few days but going to a custom rom now i am on 4.1.1 sofar no update from samsung and the custom rom oddly enough is based on samsung but 4.1.2 i hope that also fixes the gally and whatever caused it to make it vanish. Weird though that only 2 persons have this issue it seems i expected alot more. Thanks again for your reply and on how to fix it.

well, use Rescan Media Root (if rooted), and also Rescan Media app.
Both can be found on play store.. :silly:

Well too be honest (too late now im now on custom rom omega) i doubt it works i noticed an other app vanished which was the clock app,
and since i sometimes use it to time something or just a simple alarm i noticed this today just before moving to the custom rom.
Something very wrong and crazy going on with the samsung stock rom especially since it even happened for him who didnt modify anything.
