Is anyone else having the problem where after a soft reset(or a manual shutdown/restart) touchflo3d doesn't autostart?
It happens to me about 50% of the times I reset, but I jus thave to switch it off again and on again and usually it works fine.
Totally different, but I have this sometimes with Touch Flo 2D on my TyTn II. I usually get it if I've installed to much, It always launches if I haven't got the Micro SD card in though.
I've had this happening to me since I got it, and after a few hard resets it still happens... Seemingly at an increasing frequency too.
Yup, I'm experiencing the same problem.
It's really annoying, and more people are having this issue.
There's already a thread about this.
What works for me most of the time is this:
- Disable TF3D in settings.
- Soft reset device with power button
- Enable TF3D again
- Sometimes TF3D starts now, but if not reset again.
I can't wait for a more stable and fast cooked rom
Hope this helps
Oh Sorry, I couldn't find the other thread. I just keep resetting and hopee it randomly decides to starts. Love this phone, just a few things that really annoy me
The inability to find a way to make it autolock(not standby) after X seconds for example. If anyone can help with that, I'd greatly appreciate it.

DId you install any apps?
These kind of problems are mostly caused when 2 programs interfere with eachother. Teh reason why one time it does start up and the other time it doesn't is the sequence of programs starting up. Most of the time touch flow 3d will start later (because it's so big)
i have had this happen a couple of times as well.

I doubt it's caused by that. I've hard reset it installed core and tomtoma nd had it happen..
and I'm sure it's not just slow to start up, I've tried making calls and simply leaving it for 10 minutes and it still doesnt start up.
It only started haooening to me after I instaled software.
I guess the best thing to do right now, is to install all software with touchflo disabled, then reboot completly the device to finalize the instaltion, and then reboot it again. Now you can reactivate Touchflo again.
This "trick" has worked perfectly on my Pro 2
HastaSSSS
disable startup
Many programs that you install will leave a startup file in the windows\startup directory. Try cutting and pasting them to some temporary directory. I did that with poutlook and slovoed and the problem has gone away for me, without in any way impairing my calendar/contacts or slovoed functioning.
I got the same problem too.. soft resetting a few times do it or disable/re-enable on Personal-Today Items screen
Kinda annoying
Same problem here. Spoke to HTC today and tol them there were more people having this problem. Mine is so serious that it won't start at all! HTC says I was the first and ONLY one in the world with this problem. They told me that if there were more people having this issue they should CALL HTC. It's free to call them... please do so in finding a solution!
Thanks!
I am suffering under the same issue! It is really annoying! HTC should immediately sovle this problem!
Sounds a bit like my thread here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=3950507
I copied manila.exe from windows to my start-up folder, now it works fine.
yeah i have the same problem its really annoying. it works about 90% of the time now when i copied the manilla.exe to start up folder. before that i tried to put the phone in airplane mode before booting but that worked like half of the time.

Does the time on the tf3d homescreen update ok when you use the manila.exe shortcut?
touch flor not loading
My phone is hanging again. I can't get it to load Touch Flo 3D. I get this message that it's trying to activate handsfree network and then it says connected and reboots and goes through the same thing 2 or 3 times. I hard reset back in Dec cause of this and then the same thing happened again about a month ago and out of the blue it loaded touch flo and fixed itself.
But this time it's been a couple days and my phone is so slow it's crazy. It's been trying to remove one program for 20 minutes. I thought removing a few programs might help instead of doing another hard reset but it looks like i'm gonna have to do one more.. I haven't added anything new lately. And I even got a message saying your phone can not boot up because of a program from an untrusted source or something else and it wants me to hard reset. It says press volume up to reset or any key to continue and then it goes to that hands activation screen.
Iv'e tried enableing and disabling bluetooth. Sprint store said I have a bad phone cause of that hands free actication message I keep getting and they want to order me aother phone but it's going to be a refurb so I guess i'll hard reset.. Something is causeing it to hang and not load and I don't know what it is.. But I came here and I tired puttingmy phone in airplane mode and rebooted nothng. I have unchecked and checked touch flo and rebooted..
But I went to windows and saw manilla.exe cause you guys said copy it to start up and I clicked on it and I saw my background and clock again but I don't think Touch Flo fully loaded and my task manager wasn't at the top and I ran clean ram cause it was still slow and it said it freed up 32mb but then my screen went black again. I put it in airplane mode once more and took out the battery. But when I never pasted the manila to start up should I do that? I just clicked on it and saw where my clock and background were back but my clock was off by like 15-20 minutes.. I'm sure I'll probablyt have to hard reset but wanted to ask around a couple more times before doing one.. Rose
I was sitting in my den and my friend said he texted me but I didn't get it. I went to check my phone and it seemed ok but no text. I then went to make a phone call and it hung. I went to turn it to airplane mode and it froze. When I restarted it, now I get the black screen with the top and bottom menu bar but no touchflo 3d loading. I get some weird hands free activation message and then it says successful and reboots my phone. When the phone starts back up it is in the same condition without touchflo 3d and the reboot loop continues unless I click cancel.
If I run manilla.exe it will boot up and my today screen will come back but it is SLOW and it doesn't seem to have completely loaded.
WTF happened and how do I fix this?
Same thing happened to me.. Touchflo wouldn't load phone was so slow hands free message kept coming and saying connected and rebooting. I did a hard reset and was good for a couple months then out of the blue on day it did it again. I turned off phone and left battery off overnight and just got lucky and the next day as I was getting in my car it came back on.
But then a few weeks later it did it again and I took it to a Sprint store. I was told that the handsfree activation is something that only happens once when you 1st get a new phone and they said my phone was defective. They were going to order me another one but it was going to be refurbed so I never picked up and just dealt with a hard reset once again. Don't know what causes this but I've had my phone reset for over a week and I just now tonight started putting apps back on cause I was afraid ut had to do with something I installed I really don't know what causes it.. But my touchflo wouldn't load at all compeltely black screen no today screen at all and boy was my phone slow. I went to windows and clicked on manilla.exe also and saw my today screen but it was still slow and not completely loading up to touchflo like you said. And then I read about putting it in airplane mode turning off BT nothing worked for me this last time so I did a heard reset again..
Maybe someone else knows what causes this but I'm leary and am not going to put everything back on my phone that was on there but I've put most everything back.. Sorry I wasn't much help but same thing for me hands free siad connected and would reboot and over and over.. I kind of want an Android phone now and I don't think Sprint should of offered me a refurb when I just bought this in Sept and it's an expensive phone. But oh well things happen.. Good Luck!

I've been running into a issue lately with my phone and my research has turned up nothing so I thought I'd post here. For some reason, every night my phone automatically turns on silence mode around the same time. Originally I thought it happened because of me accidentally hitting the volume buttons, but I have made it a point to make sure the the phone isn't in silence mode before putting it down and it still happens during the evening. It started happening after I upgraded Lollipop and after doing some research thought it happened due to the new interruption settings, but it still happens even after "Downtime Days" is set to "None".
I am running the stock ROM rooted. I have looked into the apps I use and none of them should be able to set the phone to silent automatically. I'm trying to fix this without doing a factory reset if only because I'm worried it won't fix the problem. If anyone can help me out I'd appreciate it.
Hi gang, got a bit of a strange one here. had my G3 for about 15 months so far, and save for having to send it back after a few months for something i cant remember, its been a great phone until tonight when for some reason, it has decided to not connect to wifi or bluetooth. I have tried rebooting numerous times, and still the same. I have ran a factory data reset and still the same. When i factory reset the device, i tried to connect to the wifi however the phone simply rebooted and carried on rebooting until i took the battery out. If i get into the OS on the phone, and try to turn wifi or bluetooth on they simply say turning on, but never complete the turn on and seem to get stuck. My phone is an unrooted phone as i need it for banking apps that wont work due to the root.
I have searched on the net and have noticed numerous pages about this yet nobody appears to have a solution for it. i am going to give Three a ring tomorrow and organise the phone to be returned, but im just curious why this has happened? any ideas?
Same here, waiting for marshmallow official update, hope will work
Hey guys.
I am posting this particular issue because while I could find something similar to this issue (recovering from a bootloop for this very device), I couldn't find much in case your screen remained black afterwards.
I know why the bootloop took place (or at least I'm almost sure I know why):
-Via dr.fone, I chose the root option. This is a naïve move, as I know that one-click rooting options basically never work. Well, I know this now at least. However, the root never happened, as my device didn't even have OEM activated (there are some issues happening in this regard with lenovo). The program just couldn't continue, telling me that my phone wasn't registered in the data base or something like that. I was honestly just messing around because I didn't have OEM access, just wanted to see what error would pop up.
-The bootloop happened the day after, about 16 hours later. It also happened randomly, while the phone was idle without being connected to the PC. The screen was black, but I knew it was bootlooped because it would vibrate consistently every 10 seconds or so.
-If I pressed the Up+down+power buttons simultaneously, the blue LED in the top right corner would light up and a very long vibration would happen. There's a thread on this issue already, and adding a new firmware solved this.
-I tried to solve this by using ADB to add the stock firmware again. The bootloop stopped after this and the phone would charge. It didn't while bootlooping.
-I tried to factory reset and nothing happened. Except that my USB debugging option is now turned off, which makes things harder because I can't find a way to turn it on without having access to my phone.
I was wondering if there'd be a solution for this very situation. It's also worth noting that my screen is basically shattered, but I don't think it's an LCD issue because these two things happened at the same time. I find it too much of a coincidence.
Do you guys know what could be going on? I also wiped the cache data, even though my phone was factory reset just to give it a shot.
I very much appreciate your attention.
PS: this is literally only the display and the touch screen. Even the fingerprint sensor works.
Did you unlocked bootloader before root ?

No, the root didn't even take place. I tried to unlock the bootloader, but the Lenovo servers are down for that. So my bootloader is not unlocked.
I think that is the reason..
Your bootloader is not unlocked. You must have to ask someone before doing..
I think costumer care is the only option.
Hello!
Around Nov. 11th, I followed on-screen prompts for firmware update (I believe the fall One UI 5.0) on my Galaxy S22. Put in the password I've used since I activated the phone in July to "complete the update" after system restart, but device won't take it and I have only a few "attempts" remaining.
Phone is Verizon, no luck with Samsung Find My Mobile; Google's Android Device Manager won't even _ring_ the phone (it showed the correct GPS location at first, but not after I let the phone die and charged it up again ... tried resetting password from here, but even several soft resets later, it now reads device cannot be reached and shows a generic map with no pin).
I've heard of people soft-resetting until it works, but I don't want to waste more attempts with the only password I've ever used (definitely used the eyeball icon to make make sure I'm typing it in right!). No way to roll back the update or reinstall it? So much data since my last backup :-/
Any ideas for last attempts into the phone before factory reset? Willing to keep trying.
-J
P.S. Was advised to move this post, hopefully I'm in the right channel now. I have pics / video to suppplement post if needed.
P.P.S. Noticing that Airplane mode looks to be enabled, but I seem able to hit WiFi icon and "connect" to home network over it.
This started happening to me today too, I have a galaxy a51 though. I recently updated as well a few days ago.
My pattern unlock worked fine earlier in the day. I put it on the charger and walked away for a while, when I came back the pattern that I've used for a long time no longer works. I've tried so many times it keeps locking me out in increasing increments of times... now it's counting down from an hour.
Soft resets did nothing, I tried many times. I don't have find my phone enabled or a samsung account linked, my google account is linked but unfortunately google forced me to set up 2FA a while ago so now I need my phone to get into that too!
The only other thing I've seen mentioned as a fix is to let the phone die completely then recharge it and see if it will accept the pattern. Mine is at 60% right now so it's going to take a while. I also don't want to factory reset as none of my data is backed up, unfortunately.
I feel like the update has to be related to this problem too. I've had several problems since doing that update and never had any of these issues prior. Did you ever figure anything out with yours?
