Hi all, when my TP2 is closed (keyboard) and I hit the start menu it appears as blank spaces unless I drag my finger from start menu to blank screen then everything appears again. Anybody come across this yet?
I have a T-Mo TP2...Thanks...Tj
PS I attached a pic.
Anyone have any ideas?
I have a TP2 and for some reason, the icons on my start screen have vanished! Basically, when I press the start/windows button in the top left, it opens up the start screen but the icons cannot be seen.
The funny thing is, they are still there because if I press the screen, I can load up the programs that you can use from the start screen - it's like the icons are invisible but are actually still there, I just can't see them but I can use them. Can anyone help me out with that?
Don't worry, it's fixed, soft reset XD
There appears to be NO means to contact the go launcher folks (just spent 30 minutes trying gave up)
anyway LOVE go launcher. problem is the main desktop has 5 screens you can swipe/slide whatever between.
the MIDDLE one is primary. you then have 2 left and 2 right.
for some reason I keep ENDING UP at the far right screen which is very annoying cause I then have to swipe left twice to get back to my main screen.
it seems totally random I will turn on the phone and I am on the extreme right screen.
I also notice if I press home I go home but if I press home a SECOND time it ALSO takes me to the far right screen.
anyway to change/stop this from happening?
Strange... I've been using GO launcher for some time and never had an issue like that. Bad install, maybe?
Not sure. Just installed calkins rom. installed go clean instead of from backup.
will see if it happens again. VERY annoying. SO FAR so good. in fact now home does just what it SHOULD do.
takes me to the center screen and if I hit it twice GOES to center screen if not on center screen.
hopefully it was just a hinky install.
alas like an idiot I did not backup my contacts so the 4 hours I spend attaching pictures and correct numbers and entries in my contacts. all that work POOF. what a moron.
also all my circle launcher backups I carefully made are GONE. I had assumed they were saved to SD but apparently not. what is the point of backups if they go away with the program ???
U can change ur home screen by going into preview and clicking on the home button

Don't want to change the home screen. I want to stop it from moving around
it appears it was a "bad install" or something corrupt.
I installed calkins rom today and clean installed a fresh download of go launcher ex and so far its been PERFECT.
and in fact home works as it should double tapping it takes me to the "center" home screen.
so must have just been a goofy install or a corrupt file or something.
my reply stands ur home screen was not set as the middle screen but the far right one that's why it always went to it and u had to scroll to the left

You know I was about to make a snarky reply of ok smart a$$ you show me the setting. I have been through the settings and there IS NO SETTING for such a function.
and I would have kind of been right. there is a flat out hidden in plain site setting for it I happened upon by accident.
a screen I have NEVER seen before. in fact first time I saw it I had no clue how I did or or how to make it do it again.
after some experimentation I found out if I "swipe up" (something I usually have assigned to a function but had no done so yet on this install) this NEW window appeared that I never saw before.
it have all 5 of my "screens" displayed in miniature and the home screen was "green" but I was not ON the home screen (only reason it stood out to me otherwise I would have ignored it)
and then it hits me. I bet whichever one is "green" is the one it defaults too. sure enough if I touch the house on one of the other "screens" IT became green.
sure enough it was the "default" now.
I have no idea how it got changed (maybe when I was reaching in my pocket or something??? because i had never seen that screen before and I can find NO means to "invoke" that screen THOUGH hold on that give me an idea.
HAHAHA sure enough if I goto "EDIT" from the soft menu it brings up the same miniature window display. I had never bothered with THAT either
Just assumed it was to EDIT the "dock bar" which I had no desire to do.
so I must have gotten into that screen at some point and changed the "default" and never even knew it
how funny. of course I canceled the aggravated post and waited till I got home (now) to reply. Just found out "edit" did it right now too
I guess I misunderstood your original post. It sounded like you had been able to get to your intended home screen with one click, but a second click was sending you elsewhere. Sorry, guess I overthought it.
thats what it was doing.
many times it was at right screen (boot up wake up etc..)
sometimes it would take to home but hitting again would goto right screen.
I am almost certain I somehow "changed" the default screen as "home" without knowing it.
when I do it on purpose now it behaves exactly the same way it seems.
at least its fixed now and if it does it again I know whats wrong

OK here is the issue when I try to move icons or type or even want to press the back button I can't. Is that an issue with the software or screen. THis happens when I try to move them to the left. I will post screenshot's later when I can
Every time I hold the home button down, the shortcuts used to come up for google now, quick memo, and voice control. I would use it often in order to get screenshots without having to use the back physical buttons. now whenever I hold down the home button, it takes me straight to google search and the shortcut icons don't even show up! is there are way to reset this or make them come up again?
I had downloaded nova and downloaded screen off, so maybe that messed it up; i've since deleted nova and screen off.
Keep your finger held down and then drag up. Yes it takes you straight to Google now but don't lift your finger. After Google now pops up drag your finger up.
