My AT&T Captivate currently has Serendipity 6.2 ROM. When I go to the apps screen, many times I get a blank screen, with the Home icon at the very bottom. It doesn't happen every time, though; when the apps do show, it's because I've waited in the Home screen for a rather long time.
Does Serendipity hide the apps until it's loaded the icons for all of them?

When I flashed my rooted captivate with serendipity and then again with phoenix, I noticed that sometimes the screen would get vertical bars running down it.
For example, in gmail, only the top bar where it says inbox and my email name will have vertical bars going across. If I touch the screen it will go back to normal though. Anyone have any ideas?
This did not happen with my previous captivate (it had random shutdowns so I exchanged it).

Does this happen on stock too? If yes, get it replaced.
Hi,
I've only had my Nexus S for a couple of days and loving it so far, but this morning I had a problem. Here's how it happened:
When my alarm clock went off I hit the snooze button and turned the screen off, went back to sleep. 10 minutes later the alarm went off again later as expected and so I hit snooze again and turned the screen off like before. 5 minutes later I decided to get up as otherwise I would have been late for work, so I go to my phone to disable the alarm as otherwise it would be buzzing when I'm in the shower and the missus would get annoyed. The problem however was that I couldn't unlock the screen! I was jabbing at the power button repeatedly to get it to come on but no response at all. I ending up removing the battery. I should also add that my phone was plugged in a the time as I'd left it charging over night.
Has this ever happened to anyone else? I will try and replicate the problem. Here's how my phone is at the moment:
All my homescreens are bare apart from the main one where I have a 4 shortcuts, google search bar and the analogue clock widget. Apps I currently have installed are: Ebay official, facebook official, Twitter official, 3G watchdog, Fruit Ninja, Angy Birds, Live Holdem, Google maps, Gmail Unread Count, Movies, TV Guide.
I'm hoping that this problem was just a one-off.
Thanks
sort of same here. i bought it last thursday and today i can't use the lower part of the screen, right where the phone, menu and browser icons are. Space bar won't work when writing text, etc.
If anyone knows how to fix, pls share
The device is stock 2.3.3, i9023XXKB1, didn't root.

I have been using Nexus S for 4 months now, and I do have random reboots once in a while. Did the phone well work after the reboot?

I never had responsive problem on my phone other than the phone just freezing... Maybe theres something wrong, go ask Samsung.
unfortunately i also have such a problem now! since this morning my screen does not respond on touch correctly...it is very hard to unlock the screen (have to do it very slowly, bar is jumping like crazy) and after that it seems like the screen is reacting even on any reflection, suddenly the status bar is coming down, if i am in a menu, it always scrolls down and up...damned, that sux!
any ideas what i could do? or is this a case for samsung support?
ps: i did not flash anything in the last days, i even restored my nandbackup, that i made after 2.3.4-update (no custom kernel, no nothing), but that did not change anything...
So I updated a few apps (colorize widget, Go Launcher, and a news app) shortly after, I start having crashing issues. when the lock screen comes up, it gives me the message to swipe one direction to start using the phones, or swipe down to adjust settings, as if it was the first time I turned on my phone after buying. problem is, after I swipe either way, it freezes halfway through the opening animation, then the screen goes black for several seconds, then I see my home launcher restarting, reloading widgets and all. shortly after that, I re-receive the most recent text message i'd gotten. this repeats and repeats, I've tried a few times now.
I thought the Go Launcher update was the problem, but it happened after switching to Launcher Pro as well. any ideas what's causing?

Having different launchers and a lot of widgets can bog down your system, especially GO launcher. I would suggest heading over to the development section and rooting + custom rom. You can check fawkreview's bible thread for eveything you need to do, it will make your phone twice as fast and you shouldn't have issues like that anymore.
Hello there everyone. I've had my HTC Sensation since September and so far it has been a very enjoyable experience, with only one abnormal reset. However, in the past two days, some weird stuff has happened.
Every once in a while, I see the stock lockscreen flicker over my current screen (Even in an app). It is currently disabled by WidgetLocker as well.
The first day I had installed SweeterHome 2, StatusBar +, and also the application Faster Drawer. The first reset happened as I went to open Faster Drawer (Not for the first time, however). It then rebooted, but things seemed to work fine. Also, the app Profile Scheduler was no longer able to change the screen brightness when I clicked on a profile, just the other settings. I had to go into Android settings to do it manually. (There I found the slider down to 0 as I wanted it, and when I touched it, the screen brightness lowered to where it was supposed to be)
The second reset happened today and was even weirder. I was looking through my Minimal Reader widget when I was interrupted by the white and green HTC boot logo, and the phone took a few minutes to reset. When it came to, all of my widgets were gone, and replaced by "Tap to restore" squares (On both WidgetLocker and SweeterHome 2)
I really have no clue what is going on, though I am very disappointed by the reboots, especially for losing the widgets (Basically my entire homescreen was made of them, it will take a long time to restore). The only thing I messed with was the Accessibility applications; I had to check the one for StatusBar + and I clicked the one for WidgetSoid Notifications, but then disabled it. (Which by the way, the WidgetSoid notification toggles no longer work until I use the system toggle for data, then I can start using them)
Any help would be greatly appreciated. I am using a stock, unrooted HTC Sensation 4G on T-Mobile, running 2.3.4, and it had that firmware update by T-Mobile a few months ago.

the most ugly thing is i saw it with another sensation user in my famely to before i bought my phone. it got sended away by warrenty got back prob solved but more arised it began also after couple months. mine started doing it i rooted/s-off mine and started testing roms wich one feld like i wanted to use. because of quick changing i cound watch that after an rom from here the prob got solved so here are my suggestions:
1 send it and maybe get a worse phone back(telling from experience)
2 root/s-off test some roms and away goes problem
The issue just became worse. This time, without a reset, my WidgetLocker widgets were lost again, and replaced by the "Tap to restore" dialog. I was playing music at the time with the screen off (no other apps running), and it was not interrupted. When I went to unlock the phone, they were gone.
Any thoughts? This seems like a pretty serious issue to me. I'd like to stay stock since I don't have the money to replace the phone if something were to go wrong.
Try removin the apps and see if that helps,you seem to have alot on there that removes or modifies functionality
Hello,
I've tried searching but I cant seem to find anything about this, I recently upgraded my wife's Sensation 4G to ICS but now the phone suffers from the white HTC loading screen for about 5-10 seconds every time I exit any application. Is there a solution for this I'd like to keep this phone as stock as possible.
Thanks in advance.
Not enough ram. Too much is running so to save ram, the Sense launcher is killed. That kind of shouldn't be happening. Without being rooted, you can try remove some of her applications that are running in the background or factory reset the device and try again.
You can also tell her to hold Home and swipe unneeded applications to the left or right to dismiss them, hopefully this will close applications before the Sense launcher is killed.
I have the same phone and I had the same issue happen to me. What I ended up doing (and believe me it works) is I went to Settings>Apps>All>HTC Sense (the one with the green HTC Logo) and click on it and disable that one. Now go back to Settings>Apps>All>HTC Sense (the one with the picture of the home screen but in a tiny version and click on that and "Clear Data" and thats half the problem. For some reason it seems like HTC didnt integrate the "New" HTC Sense with the old one so they keep messing eachother up "allegedly." Well now for the last steps, So now you go back to Settings>Develop Options and scroll to the bottom and you need to uncheck the option that says "Don't Keep Activites" and make sure "Background Process Limit" is set to Standard Limit. Then restart the phone and your phone should be back to normal It took me all day yesterday to figure it out so hope everything works out for anyone having this same issue
