I tried to freeze wi-fi calling in Titanium Backup. But after that I still see this app when I check it in setting-->application-->managing-->running. And just as before, you cannot kill it from running application. Is this normal?
I used bloat freezer to freeze it and my battery life has been 10000000xs better ever since.

not normal. i froze it on mine, and my husband froze it on his, both using titanium and i havent seen it running since. perhaps you need a reboot? the app isnt in your drawer anymore, is it?

I just took couple of screen shots. This is my first time to link files from dropbox. Hopefully it will work.
here it shows the wi-fi calling has been frozen
https://dl.dropbox.com/u/27291692/g2x/2011-04-28 09.23.55.png
and here is shows the wi-fi calling is stll in running app list
https://dl.dropbox.com/u/27291692/g2x/2011-04-28 09.22.59.png
I cannot see the wi-fi calling app in the application screen. --if that's what you mean in my "drawer"(?)
When you say reboot, do you mean press hold the power button to turn the phone and and back on again? I think I did that last night but apparently it didn't resolve the problem.
p.s. the same thing happens to one of "my account" app as well (the one cannot be killed by manage application in setting)
same case as OP. Froze wifi calling and MyAccount with TitaniumBackup, but both apps still run. (yes they disappeared from the menu, but they are still constantly running)

You should have to reset it... cause i had the same problem i froze My Device and it sent me into this weird force close loop but after i reset the phone it didn't show up in the processes again.

factor reset? again? well, if that's the only easy option...
btw, I think someone mentioned there is thread that gives a complete of bloatware that could be frozen. But maybe I not good enough at searching, can anyone point it out? Thanks.

No no no i mean like battery pull or turn the power off and on not Factory Reset! and ALL bloatware can be frozen and/or removed if you want! But the only reason you get this weird force close loop is cause you freeze/remove the program, but the process is still running leading to the phone not knowing what to do. Than after you reset it(Not Factory Reset) it wont start up because you have removed the app.

I do not have any FC problem. My problem is simply that, when I freeze the bloats with titanium backup, these bloats would be removed from the app drawer BUT still be running in the background. (this scenario applies to WIFI calling and Myaccount)
I have restarted the phone, factory reset, and tried this on 2 phones already. So I really doubt that would fix the problem.
1 question: what do you freeze them with? Maybe bloat freezer can do a better job than titanium?
just kidding! I went to the menu you are referring to and saw the apps under running processes for me too! This scares me, however since the program is present but frozen, aka can't be actively run, I am ambivalent as to whether it has an adverse effect on battery life. (maybe since it's frozen it is present on the list but won't drain battery?) Also, maybe it's presence there insures that it won't get in the way of an otA

Or you can use AntTek App Manager(It is free and does the same thing that Bloat Freezer does)

I completely uninstalled it from my phone. If it 'breaks' OTA updates, I'm sure there will be a ROM dump within hours anyway on here, if I'm not running CM7 by then that is.
yea the thing is that, I sometimes want to unfreeze Myaccount or WIFI calling to actually use them. Uninstalling/reinstalling is quite tedious every time

Hi all, just got a TB and rooted it yesterday. It was one of the first things I did when I got my phone, so I can't say that this wasn't an issue beforehand, but it seems like LauncherPro isn't staying in memory. Every now and then, when I press the home screen, it will ask me whether to use HTC Sense or LauncherPro. This will keep occuring at random, even after I've checked to use LauncherPro by default. Is anyone else having this problem? Know a quick fix?
Nobody else experiencing this?
there's an option in launcherpro's general settings 'keep in memory'. have you tried that yet? are you using some sort of app-killer (like advanced task manager or ES)? is launcherpro ignored in that?
Sent from my MB525 using XDA App
Ah, sorry, should have clarified. Yes, I have the keep in memory already checked and I am not using any sort of app killer unless there is a stock app killer that I don't know about.
ok, then. in the phone's settings menu, go to applications/manage applications, find launcherpro. is it selected to launch by default?
Sent from my MB525 using XDA App
No defaults set, which is why I assume the settings aren't sticking. Should I just force stop, clear data, uninstall, reinstall to see if that works? Or do you know a nifty way to set it to the default launcher.

you could do what I did, and use Titanium to remove HTC Sense from the phone. No point in having it if your going to use a different launcher.
Haven't checked yet, but is removing HTC Sense one of the safe removable apps? Were you having the same issues as I was or did you just remove it because you didn't use it?
i don't recommend uninstalling sense. i know, launcherpro is good and all, but it's still a third party software, and if something goes wrong, you're left with no launcher, and that kind of sucks... and no, i don't know any way to make it default (other that choosing from the list when it pops up). but reinstalling might help!

i am running das bamf and removed every bit of sense I could get my hands on immediatly as I like what they did with the rom but hate sense. I also installed launcher pro right away and deleted sense.
I have never had launcher pro end up at a point where I couldn't use it anyone. I did this for 2 months on my evo 4g, and will continue to do so.
Just stuck to the tried and true method of clearing data. LauncherPro seems to be sticking now. Thanks for all the replies!
Ah, spoke a little bit too soon. Doesn't seem to be sticking any longer. When I rooted, the process went very smoothly and all root apps that I have run with no problems.
I'm just wondering if there's any way that rooting may have affected LP since no other users seem to be having this problem.
Bumping this.

I have had this very same problem since day 1 with my T-Bolt, and it's driving me crazy. I have not rooted yet, so rooting has nothing to do with it... just so you know...
Like with your's, I get that nasty launcher selection popup randomly; and if I exit from any streaming app or music app, it pops up EVERYsingle time the HOME key is pressed.
It also happens with ADW in exactly the same way as LauncherPro, so I would bet it happens with any launcher that is not Sense.
What have I done to fix it?
1. I have uninstalled / re-installed LauncherPro (and ADW), with no luck.
2. Just in case it was a conflict of Google restoring what I had on my Incredible to my T-Bolt, I uninstalled every uninstallable app I could, and then waited over night for Google to do it's backup ( to create a blank backup), and then did a hard reset the next morning, with no luck.
3. In Settings>Privacy, I unchecked the "Back Up My Settings" box and discovered that a window pops up that says, "Are you sure you want to stop backing up your settings and application data AND ERASE ALL COPIES ON GOOGLE SERVERS?" When I saw that, I saw no need to do the overnight thing and did this repeatedly with hard resets - all this WITH NO LUCK.
4. As a last resort, I took my T-Bolt back to Best Buy (thinking that maybe something went wrong in the provisioning process during activation), and they reactivated my T-Bolt with a new SIM card. Once again, NO LUCK.
I don't know what the heck is going on with it. Maybe it's a rogue app that's conflicting with the T-Bolt. I don't know. What I do know is that there is no problem if I'm using Sense, but I don't like Sense and refuse to use it, so I'm stuck with that darned popup.
I thought that rooting and using a different ROM altogether would get rid of the problem. Have you tried flashing a different ROM?
We have got to find out what's causing this, or at least a good workaround.

Thanks for the reply. Puts my mind at ease knowing that I'm not the only one with the issue and also helps to know that you're experiencing this on an unrooted phone. I have not tried flashing any custom ROMs yet, so perhaps the people who have flashed a ROM can report back on whether LP is acting up on their phones.
I hope it's as simple as LP needing to be updated for TB.
Had this same problem myself... Download an app called HomeSmack from the market. It is free and allows you to switch between Sense and launcherpro easily. Have not had the issue since. Also I can easily switch back to my sense home screen and vice verse without a set-up every time.
Hope this helps

Yeah, I forgot to mention that neat little app - Homesmack. I like it. It's the only way I was able to actually get to LauncherPro from Sense. Without it, for me LauncherPro was simply a *download* that I could not access.
However, it did nothing to keep LauncherPro in memory. It does allow you to clear data from Sense and actually kill it momentarily; but once you get back into LauncherPro (or ADW), the problem simply repeats itself on my T-Bolt.

If I have time, I'm gonna root my T-Bolt this weekend. And then I will immediately flash a ROM - ANY ROM - to see if this works.
From what I'm gathering with regards to the T-Bolt... there are lots of bugs with this phone; however, not all T-Bolts share the same problems, and some are way more common than others. My T-Bolt is, for the most part, flawless; except for the launcher staying in memory. My wife has the headphone jack problem with hers... not everyone is experiencing that, but there are a batch of T-Bolts with faulty headphone jacks. Guess that's what we get for being early adopters. What the heck though, every other 4G phone that comes out will have flaws too. If people are expecting these phones to be fully *worked out*, they should wait and upgrade to 4G next year.
In the meantime, I've found that hitting the *back* key instead of the *home* key bypasses the launcher pop-up selector altogether. It can't be relied on completely because there are some apps you can't get out of without hitting the HOME key.
btw, my coworker has a tb and has this issue of the launcher pro constantly asking to be the default launcher. looks like if you hold the home button to switch between tasks, it clears the default launcher setting. try not using the hold home to multitask function to see if that stops this from happening.
I can verify this behaviour, and it 100% reproducible. It 'forgets' the default launcher with 2 actions:
- Pull down the status bar notification.
- Long press home to switch apps.
It doesn't happen otherwise. I use Wave Launcher, and it doesn't affect the default launcher.
This only started happening this weekend. I have to go through the apps I added recently.
I'm not rooted.
Using Zeam launcher.
I recently did a clean wipe and install of Owain's ROM, but the only real issue I'm having now is that it keeps flipping in and out of car mode for no apparent reason. Is there a way to disable completely or at least understand why it keeps coming on?
You should be able to uninstall car mode completely. I think you can use root explorer

Well, I tried Titanium Backup, and I can't find the Car Mode app anywhere to uninstall. Am I missing something?
it should be in there... it always comes up for me when i flash a new rom and want to uninstall it.
Hi,
I've had this problem before too.
for some REASON, YOU CANT UNINSTALL IT.
You can't uninstall through titanium. (freezing doesnt help)
You can't uninstall through apps.
You can't unnstall through root explorer.
It ALWAYS comes back.
I dont know how all these guys are uninstalling, but it JUST DOES NOT WORK (at least for me, and looks like for you.)
So what I have is an app called DISABLECARHOME, and it seems to work (kind of). I sometime still get the 180 degree orientation and call speaker default when I answer calls.
Next time, I'm going to just take out the carhome.apk from the GAPPS when I install a new ROM/gapps.

It is called Car Home. It can be uninstalled with Titanium Backup, as I have done it on my G2x. You may need the Pro version though.

Yes, I've done it on Titanium.
I've also removed the physical APK via root explorer.
I've also feezed the package through terminal.
IT DOESNT WORK.
It still comes back. I'm not going to argue with you, but I still get the "touch to disable carhome" in the notification bar sometimes.
Also, I know its still there as I get the 180degree rotation, and default speaker when I answer calls.
So annoying.... DISABLECARHOME seems to be the only thing that semi-works for me.
PS: After you "think" you uninstalled it, try getting a magnet and wand it near the camera glass on the left/right. The screen will light up and you will see a carhome logo on the top notificaiton bar... surprise!

I can't confirm what you are saying. I deleted Car Home in Titanium Backup (it was listed twice and I deleted both listings) and tried using a magnet all over my phone. No Car Home popped up at all.
Are you running ICS and if so which rom? I can replicate what h22aboi is saying exactly, so now I'm curious if it is an owain specific thing or is it something with ICS as a whole.

I'm running burom (based on the stock 21Y), 2.3.4.
Sorry for bumping an old thread but...
For those of you who can't for whatever reason remove CARHOME app launching.... (myself included)
Reinstall a fresh ROM (after wiping everything), and when it comes time to install GAPPS, open the ZIP beforehand and delete the CARHOME and CARHOME LAUNCHER app in the zip folder. It should be under System/apps or something like that. Then flash the GAPPS.
I just upgraded to EB 2.8 (2.3.7) and wiped everything and installed the modified GAPPS.
I have had no ill effects of magnet turning on screen, carhome launching, speaker phone on during call answer, etc, etc....
I have seen countless questions asked about CARHOME and everytime, someone chimes in saying all they have to do is uninstall through (insert file manager/app manager here), but that NEVER seems to solve the problem.
Hopefully, this helps some people out.
Does anyone's phone just freeze for a while? Thanks.
are you on a stock rom or a custom? try long pressing the home button, selecting task manager from the bottom, then select the ram tab and clear memory there... this may help if that freezing happens after you have had a few apps open and havent closed out of them...

I have heard some other folks having this issue recently (via reviews on the T-Mo site) which I can only attribute to some update for a T-Mo bloat app breaking something. It happens.
Have you kept your apps updated? If so, you may want to check if a factory restore will fix the issue - just don't forget to backup your messages, etc. and sync calendar, contacts, etc first so the restore process is less painful.
i JUST bought this phone yesterday and today is the first day i have actually gotten to use it and start setting it up. Its all stock. the only thing i did was install my general apps that i use all the time, and disabled the useless apps. verizon apps, amazon, some google play apps, etc. nothing major to the phone. whats happening is that when i play a youtube video or play a game, i get like a half second stutter or freeze then it continues normally. this happens on all games.
any ideas what it could be?
Bring that sucker back and get a replacement.
In all seriousness, this really sucks to hear. Have you tried unfreezing all previously frozen apps to see if the issue still persists? Since you haven't modified anything in the phone yet, you could perform a factory reset and see if that helps anything.

If a factory reset didn't fix it (if you've done one yet), just take it back. No system setting is going to cause intermittent lag. That would be the worst idea for a setting ever... "Check this box to slow down your system at random times."

I have an M8 that at first was super fast pretty much at all times.
I installed Next Launcher on it, and it was still fast, for at least a few weeks I think.
But now I regularly get nasty lag when using that launcher (tapping on home or whatever, even other app's).. lag on the order of even 1-4 seconds before an action takes place… not acceptable at all.
I saw a post somewhere about modifying a build.prop option to "always keep launcher in memory" or something like that. I believe the post said that the launcher may get unloaded from memory at times by Android if other memory intensive app's are running.
Just wondering if anyone else has encountered similar lag from a launcher like Next Launcher… or other lag just appearing over time.
If I do a restart, lag will go away for a bit, but then return… I think it's when the Launcher is loaded, and resident in memory, that lag goes away for a bit.
I didn't want to have to root just to modify build.prop, but I guess I may have to…
Thanks for any ideas…
p.s.
I have the AT&T HTC One M8… but I doubt that would matter for this issue.
[Fixed]
Checking "System persistent" under "Performance Settings" seems to have fixed most lag on Next Launcher for me.
I also checked "Hyper Fluency" which may also help.
Nice that this option was possible so I didn't have to root just to keep the Launcher fluid...

Not necessarily. I've used more than 10 different Android devices, including the HTC One M8, and every one of them stuttered to some degree, usually once every 2 or 3 seconds while watching YouTube or Netflix, playing games, etc. It has nothing to do with network speed or a device defect. But if it's really freezing for half a second, that's a different story.

Yes, it does. You're just not sensitive enough to notice.
I am having similar issue. Got the phone a few weeks ago, and have been getting used to it. First off, the battery life is not what people made it out to be, unless mine is faulty...
Getting to the point though, in the notification bar, if there is more than 2 notifications at the same time, say an email, a chat, and a text, when I unlock the phone, the entire top notification bar "flashes" in a stuttery manner... and until i remove the notifications it continues to do this. I attempted factory reset but had no success.. Any advice?
Has anyone downloaded and installed the new wireless update? Not sure why they changed to the Google messenger. Especially since Allo is due out soon.

I didn't think Allo was going to do MMS/SMS, but I've seen conflicting reports.
It looks like the issues I had with background apps closing when clearing all apps has been fixed. I've got no apps running in the foreground yet can see Whatsapp, Fitbit, etc still running and I'm receiving notifications for them.

You're right, my Garmin Forerunner doesn't disconnect when I do that now. Good catch.

The issues with the background apps closing seems to have been fixed. Thank goodness. Now Tasker and pushover work when closed.
As for Allo, I haven't read anywhere that SMS and MMS are not supported. It does seem to suggest that end to end encryption is primary.

I downloaded it and now my phone won't start up properly. It goes into a loop where it says android is starting and it is optimizing apps and then restarts back to optimizing apps over and over. I contacted Blu customer service and they said to hard restart mt phone. It doesn't work and my phone still does the same thing.
Since the update, it change the sms native to Google messenger and worts off it there is a bug, no notification at all on every sms program.
Do you have a link for this update?

I just hard re-set the phone a couple of times in a row and let the phone do its thing, optimizing the apps for 3 hours straight. The phone started up by itself and worked after that. Hope this works for you.

Hold the power and up volume buttons for 10 seconds to re-set phone. A menu with options will come up, select using the volume up/down button. Select re-set phone option with the power button. I did it twice in a row.
turning wifi off
So when battery is around 20% the strangest thing happened, wifi just turns off when phone is locked, just when it´s locked. Anyone else having this issue?
Does anyone know where to get the v19? I had to perform a factory reset and it backed up to v16. When I do the update it now claims that my system is damaged.

I do, but it was never a problem before the update. It seems rebooting helps with this issue, and then it lasts for like 1 month and then happens again. And now battery lasts nothing! do you have this issue after the update?
