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?

Hello. So I got into a problem this morning while updating Golauncher EX. I updated it and when I pressed home, I accidentally chose to have GoTo (a lockscreen application) the default app for that. Now my phone can't return to launcher at all.
When I reboot I just get a blank screen and can't do anything besides bring the notification bar down.
I know I can easily fix this by going into settings, but I can't get to that without launcher. So I tried to get into safe mode (boot holding vol down, track pad, and menu) and I can get there after the phone vibrates (it says safe mode in bottom corner), but before I can do anything the phone reboots. I don't really want to resort to a factory reset yet, so I was wondering if anyone had any suggestions.
Also I haven't rooted my phone yet.
Thanks for any help you can offer!
The only thing i can think of is press the search button, and see if that brings up the search screen. I would navigate my way to market or something, install adw, then hit home. The pop up for default should come up again, then you can make golauncher ex default?

Delete it from phone with computer. I think all the files pertaining to the app should be in sdcard/data and data/data...
Thanks for the tips guys. btw I tried using search, but nothing would pop up, but for some reason hitting menu would make a keyboard appear.
Anyways, something weird happened where when I tried booting into safe mode, my phone seemed to wipe all my settings and went into the normal launcher. It didn't delete all my apps, but made the majority of them strangely force close whenever I opened them.
In the end I just rooted my phone and everything is perfect now!
Good to hear.

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!
Hello,
I have a Tab Pro 10.1 and I'm very happy with it except a strange form of freezing (sometimes) when using or exit the browser.
The screen does not register my movements when sweeping from side to side (scroll through the home screens) but just jumps a bit. (It's like the touch stop working and let go of the screen) I can pull down the notification menu but nothing happens when i sweep from side to side (except the beginning of the movement and the home screen just moves a little)..
When I turn off the screen and turn it on again it works again. I've cleared the data on both the browser and my launcher (nova),
but without result. Could this be hardware related? The tab is not rootad and I'm running stock 4.4.2
Thank you!

Since you can pulldown the notification bar it sounds like its some software / app messing things up, try removing all the widgets off your launcher and see if it still happens...
or try another launcher.

I factory reset the tablet yesterday but it hang again with Nova. I uninstalled Nova and I'm back on stock launcher but no freeze so far..
It would be a pity if Nova hangs my tablet, because I like Nova :- /
Well.. The tablet hang yesterday again. Found out that pressing the upper frame on LCD will make the screen freeze and switching screen on/off will make it "unfreeze".. Pressing on the upper frame and LCD freeze.. Hardware issue?

Hmm sounds like it, pressing anywhere on the bezel shouldn't cause a freeze, there could be a short somewhere and power on / off resets the screen power (and resetting the short),
best bet would be to have Samsung replace it.
Yes, I'll take the tablet to service..
So my phone was in my pocket and it was getting hot so i took it out, and saw it on the boot animation. I left it and it didn't go past this boot screen so i held in the power button to restart it, and it restarted. Only when i turned it on, my 4G plan was active, and I could no longer use the notification pull down bar. I can swipe down from the top once, but not a second time to access quick settings. Also my circle and square (home and multitask) buttons are not working, the phone vibrates when i touch them but nothing happens, only the triangle (back) button works. On the lock screen, there is no longer an option to swipe right for the camera, and double pressing the home button to activate the camera does nothing, it just turns the display on and off. I have tried putting the phone into safe mode to see if an app was causing the problem, but the problem persists, when i turned my phone back on normally, the widgets on my home screen had disappeared. I tried switching accounts to the guest account but it says 'switching to guest' and then seems to fail to switch to the guest account and quickly says 'switching to (main account name)', before returning to my main account. Any ideas, I really need the problem fixed, thanks in advance!
stock rom??
my advice if you cant fix it try to do a factory reset do it like your last resource cause it wipes all data
another advice you should always have a backup you never know when **** like this happens
Thanks for the reply.
Yeah I am running stock ROM, so strange that this has happened.
I am struggling to backup photos etc as i would usually enable usb debugging and just click and drag the folders over to my PC, but it says on my settings page that 'developer options are not available to this user', so I am having to use another photo backup website, which is annoying.
This happened to be when I manually updated from MMB29Q to MHC19J without flashing MMB29V first. Only solution was to boot into TWRP to backup my files and then factory reset.
