Stop returning to Home tab on wake up

Hi all. Slowly battling through these annoyances.
I can't find anything about this on a search, but I'm sure I remember reading about it. Does anyone know how to stop the device returning to the Touchflo 3D home tab every time I wake the device up? It's annoying when it goes off when I'm writing a text message or in a call or listening to music and I have to navigate all the way back.
Also, is there a definate answer to the "screen off during call" thing? I guess I could live with it for now if I can fix the other problem.

Hi, this will not help you but just for your info: my TF3D doesn't return to the home tab after wake up... You have a branded phone?

mine does'nt either so the answer is to switch over to ROMeOS rom

Mine does it sometimes but usually a soft reset stops the return to home screen.

Perhaps I wasn't clear enough. I'm not bothered which tab it returns to, but say I have messaging open and the device falls asleep, when I wake it up it returns to the home screen so I have to navigate back to where I was. It's very annoying.
My unbranded 405 ROM TP does it and my gf's Orange branded Diamond does it.

Like i said, soft reset. Sometimes is could be a new bit of software you've installed, not much you can do about it unless you unistall it!

I've softresetted my device dozens of time's, I'm on ROMeOS but I have the same problem it doesn't stay in the app or folder where I left it, I have wondered about this. Others do to apparently, no help from me though

It's always done it, and my gf's diamond has always done it. It's definately a feature of the ROM and is highly annoying.

What about the option for returning to the today screen in the Today options? Try setting it to never and see if that fixes it for you.

That sounds just the trick, but where is this option?
Can't see it in in Start > settings > today
EDIT: found this on the Diamond forum: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=409374
They have the same problem. the thing you suggested is for today timeout. It won't affect how locking takes me back to the today screen.

Come on guys, this is super annoying. Surely someone must have a solution?
I leant my phone to the singer in my band today as he was reading some lyrics from the internet for a cover song we're doing. He was going mad about it because the damned thing kept returning to the home screen mid-song.
I like the lock/autolock feature but I don't want it to go back to the home screen every time.

Strange problem CANT ACCESS MESSAGING

When I try to get into my email or SMS on my touch pro nothing happens. Whether I do it from the Home Screen or the Start menu, there is no response when I try to open it. I've also had a couple of people send me texts and no ring nor vibrate.
I've never had this problem before. I've restarted the phone a bunch of times. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Had the same thing this morning, a soft reset solved it for me though...
(ROMeOs V1.12)
Did you hard reset yet? What ROM are you running?

Are you using a taskmanager? If not, you should try to install one. I think messaging will probably still be running in the background and for some reason stuck there. That would also explain why you don't receive any notifys on new messages.
Just an idea. HTH

I Updated to ROMeOS1.22, and have had no problem since...
The Task manager did not show Messaging running though..

Mine did the same last night. Soft reset did not cure the problem. I had to power off / on.

may i know what sms task prog name? izzit tmail.exe?
today happen again, seem nothing wrong with tmail.exe from background. But i close the task, and i able to access my messaging again without soft reset.

make sure you have your email set to download the whole message because if you don't it will not allow you to open the emails. especially if it is set to the default 2k. This will stop you from even clicking on the message. hope this helps

Yes, tmail.exe is pocket outlook. So when this is still running in background that's exactly what I mentioned above. I had this problem once on my TyTN and I fixed it by using a task manager that really closes pocket outlook every time I press OK.

yeah it's work, but is there any other way to not let this happen again? because this problem coming again, but yeah kill the task is batter then soft reset. thanks anyway bro.

I thought I was doing something wrong to have this problem. It only happened a few times and only with sms. Glad to see a workaround.

You're welcome, glad I could help (at least a little)
I don't know another solution unfortunately. I bought HandySwitcher at that time and set it to close applications by default (which also worked with the hardware OK button). That way I never encountered the problem again.

Where's the "Zune Like" Interface?

Hi!
I finally got around to flashing my phone with the Energy ROM with 6.5 on it. The pictures I've seen of 6.5 show a Zune like interface but I don't see it in my version. Were can I find this?
Thanks!
Brian

that would be the chrome interface.
Go into Settings/Home Then click on Items then click on Windows Default.
The one thing I wish it had was Zune support!

You're awesome! Thanks! Loving the new ROM...and to add another comment...the VPN is much more stable that it was on my stock FUZE rom.

It should be. Unless the flash went wrong. Just do the same steps just scroll down untill you see Touchflo3d or something like that.

Nope....TouchFlo3D is totall gone as an option.

Man...I promise you it isn't there....ha. I go to START, SETTINGS, TODAY, 2ND TAB and it is no longer there. I'll search for that latest ROM you mentioned.

I loaded the latest ROM you suggested...same thing...if I switch to WINDOWS DEFAULT, there is no way back to TouchFlo 3D...it just goes away.
That isn't a big deal if it wasn't for the fact that after that, I began to have display problems (icons and today screen would start melting and smearing together.)

sounds like some bad flashes. IMO try Flashing the stock ROM to your phone and then flashing the new one. BTW just to make sure after the ROM is done flashing you are Pressing the volume down button and the center circle button while soft resetting to have a good solid flash right?

I even loaded this latest Aurora ROM and same thing...if I uncheck TouchFlo3D and go to Windows Default, TF3D will no longer be an option and the Windows Default menus start "smearing" after a while.
And do you have a quick link to a good stock ROM to give your other theory a try?

well this is bizarre
about the smearing i had that happen with one rom soft reset and it stopped and never again
like the poster above said. make sure you hard reset before and after flashing. before isnt as important as after which is necasarry
and are you sure you scrolled down the list of today items on the 2nd tab?

I just flashed a stock rom...reset and am now flashing the current EnergyROM...then I will hard reset again and see if that happens again.
And yeah, I scrolled all the way down in that second tab and TF3D basically removes itself if I uncheck it and go to another theme.

Well, I can go to Windows Default now and go back to touch flow but Windows Default still smears after a few minutes (or this last time, a few seconds!)

Got any NueROM tools installed? NueKBLight did this to mine, you need to go into the theme menu and change it to a different theme, then change it back and you should be good to go. Even though the menu is smearing whatever button should be on the screen are there and in their proper positions so you can still click them.

Clock always late by 10 minutes

Guys, I've been facing a clock problem for some time now, searched Google and the threads for a solution for some time now but no result is to be found.
My clock is always around 10 minutes late, i keep settings it to the correct time, a couple of minutes later, i look at the phone, and its ten minutes late again. I think its related to Sense 2.5, but i am not sure, anyone else facing this issue?
I flashed the phone with the Stock ROM before going to EnergyROMs (Lesson learned). Any ideas?
Thanks in advance

Moved as not ROM Development.

May be the Flip Clock is stuck ? So the animation doesn't works, and the time is late ?

Not really, the whole clock on the upper right corner is also 10 minutes late ,in addition to the flip clock. As explained earlier, I keep fixing them, they show up correct then a while after, the time is again, wrong! Its making me go crazy.

[Q] Unable to update apps (hit certain on-screen buttons)

I am having an odd issue with my Focus. The marketplace is stating that I have 2 updates to do (yesterday was one). When I click on the maketplace it opens up and at bottom of the screen states I have 2 update, but I am unable to click the words "2 updates" in order to install them. I can't even tell which programs they are for.
I am have a similar issues sending text messages. When I have the conversation up and type the text message, I am unable to hit the send button. I have found a work around for this... After I finish typing the message, I can click on the conversation itself and the keyboard goes away. With no keyboard showing I am able to click the send button (which is located in same location as if the keyboard was there).
Anyone heard of such an issue?

Well the weird thing is, like i said, once I minimize the keyboard I am able to click the button (in same location)
Also for some reason I was able to hit update today, and just sent a text without minimizing the keyboard... first time in like 3 weeks

I have the same issue with the Marketplace.. it's been telling me I have 6 updates for over a month now. Getting real old.

You also can't click the "6 updates" link?
Note that the current version of Marketplace has a bug that prevents you from installing updates for trial apps. However, that link should be clickable and the update process should be start normally; it only doesn't really update the trial apps.

rule no 1 for technology: if you find a weird bug, restart the device and see if it persists...

same here! i have 8 apps that just wont update. although i can press the update button they all look like they are updating but then they never do and im always left with 8. i suspect that this is because i have mainly trial version and i dont think these update, and of the free stuff that i have got all update ok!

if you want to update them, just uninstall them from the phone, then reinstall them again by finding it in the market place.

This would work, since at one time I had 3 updates to do and uninstalled many programs, and then the number changed to 1. But if you are unable to click the update button, you don't know which programs to update.
I had no trails on my phone.
for others that were having similar issues to mine, did you have the same texting issue?

yea it was more for davidebanks. have you tried restarting the phone? i think i had this at one point, and just turning the phone off and back on fixed it.

I have restarted phone plenty of time, haven't reset it thought, but as I mentioned it happened to start working again recently

lol dang. well in all honesty, with the jan update coming, it could fix the issue. if not... who knows.

This is a strange one, I have seen one or two bugs on my HD7 (garbled screen, random soft resets) but never this one.
Edit: Do all the people with this problem have a Samsung device?
