Problems With My Infuse

So I'm loving my Infuse, but I'm having a problem. Whenever I turn it off and then back on (which so far has only been when it dies) my home screen always gets screwed up. My Pandora widget disappears, and I am not able to add it back unless I reinstall the app. Also I have a firefox icon in the app tray at the bottom, and that disappears too.
What can I do to fix this?

by any chance does you live wallpaper change too?
i haven't noticed icons or widgets disappearing but i noticed my wallpaper goes back to stock after a reboot.

I've had the stock wallpaper all along so I have no idea, ill try it out and see what happens.

You need to install apps on phone not external SD card that will fix it. At least the live wallpaper.

I put on a live wallpaper and it stayed there after reboot, but my Pandora widget still disappeared, and I had Dolphin browser instead of Firefox in the app tray, but that disappears too.
How do I choose to install apps to the phone?

Go to settings,application, ext SD card in the top right, find application you want to move click it it will say move to phone click it. It will install on phone

I forgot its settings, applications, manage application, then SD card.

I don't even get an option to add the Pandora widget after I move the app to the phone.

Did you reboot the phone?

eroracing, thanks for your posts about this issue - I already exchanged my infuse once, but am too chicken to reboot this new one yet. I followed your instructions about the SD card; my phone came with an external SD card and there's also an internal card listed in the "SD card and phone storage" menu, as well as the phone storage itself. I'm hoping the 'sd card' on the far right in the Applications menu is referring to the external card.
I moved what I could to the phone, but I'm still too chicken to reboot!

Yes the one all the way to the right. And I'm not sure what you mean you don't want to reboot your phone. Just power off and back on again.
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I997 using XDA Premium App

Ok, I finally screwed up the courage to power my infuse off and back on, and all is ok. Whew! Because of course once you get this large a screen, you just can't go back to something smaller!

Icons turning to default after reboot?

Everytime I reboot my icons change to the green uploading icons and not to the normal ones. I have to manually remove them and add them again. Another thing i've notices is once in a while distorted horizontal lines appear across some apps. They will not go away most of the time unless I reboot.?

Sometimes my widgets get colored lines in it and i have to reboot to. My.contacts app disappear and turn into to people app all on its on til i reboot. Hope they fix these issues but no updates in site tmobile and phone companies have bad service.

I have the same problem but it only happens with a few specific games every time. It's annoying but I've just stopped fixing it and leave them as the android icon.

Mine was doing this for SD installed apps... Solved in the last update however...
Change the theme and back to restore the icons... marginally better than deleting and re-adding

You could also change the language, go to the main page, change the language back to what is was and it'll solve the problem.

move the apps that are loosing it's icons from sd to internal memory.
few of my games were doing this on reboot.
soon as I moved them to internal, no more problems.
kinda sucks that we can't take advantage of app2sd feature that comes with some of apps but until we get an update that fixes this bug, this is the only sure way I've found.

Yep, that fixed it after a restart. Why do some games install on the phone and some on SD? There doesn't seem to be any consistency.

I don't think apps install on the SD unless specified. As for the icons changing on reboot. This has been a problem on Android since apps to SD was implemented.

I'm having the same problem as well with my game icons.
That worked, Thanks!

My Facebook app on my main screen does the same thing -- I do have it moved to the SD card. Randomly the correct icon/logo appears on it, but most of the time it's the generic Android icon. I've learned to live with it -- maybe they'll fix it someday.

My icons return after a reboot, when I turn the phone off/on.

I tried this and it didn't work, until I realized that there were two Sense applications running and I killed the wrong one...D'oh!

I tried to force stop HTC sense and dashboard.... none of this worked.
So I tried changing the theme and IT WORKED!!!! When I restored my previous theme, all the icons went back to normal.
This the easiest non-frustrating method. From time to time, my phone crashes and restarts by itself and all my icons would change.

Has anyone tried using Rom Manager and run "fix permissions" with any luck?

It is not a permissions issue. It is quite simple.. the desktop icons are loaded before the sd card is mounted and accessible so it can't load the icons and won't retry later. Causing sense to reload in any way after the SD card is mounted will reload the icons. Changing themes works. Killing sense to force a reload works. Using titanium backup to freeze/unfreeze any of the sense Widgets works. I'm sure there are plenty more ways of making sense reload

Icons

I can say most of the time im restarting my phone the icons gone on desktop, i remount the sdcard but still no icons, anyone can explain this?
Sent from my HTC Sensation Z710e using XDA App

icons goes away because the apk is installed on the sd card, you must reboot phone in order to view it again, or install apks directly in phone's memory...

Are they widgets or icons? It's well known not to install widgets to the sd card as this is what can happen. Check they haven't and if they have move them back to internal memory.

I have the same problem.But I have to say the icons only are replaced by default icons on startscreens. In All Apps the icons are OK.
I asked HTC Support an got the answer I should try another microSD, which I did before asking. The support thinks maybe my card is not compatible or it can be damaged. As a result I would say answer not so helpful.
So I fixed the problem for me in moving all apps to phone.
@cjm1979: I only had it with icons, don't use many widgets

Are they installed to sd card? If so move them to phone

How to keep folders/images from showing in gallery???

Music folders album art shows up as well as some other stuff. For example, some apps keep a folder on the sdcard for thumbs etc. I tried copying a .nomedia file from one folder to another and that didn't work. Anyone know?
Sent from my PG06100 using xda premium

Any folder that you don't want to show up in gallery just put a generic file in there named ".nomedia".

Well on Supreme Sense v8, all you have to do is hit menu then the show/hide option and you can select what folders are to stay visible and which ones are to be hidden.

Did you go into the app called dev tools afterward and run the media scanner? The phone doesn't scan everything immediately and if you force a rescan it will refresh your gallery. This is what I do in cyanogenmod anyway. Rebooting the phone would probably do the same thing.

Can't go wrong with WidgetLocker (it's worth it).

Went to the play store to get Widgetlocker and I get a message stating that my device is not compatible.

I'm running qqlauncher, not many themes or widgets, but you can get widgets else where.
Well any who, also comes with a very good lockscreen.

Hmm... odd thing. Widgetlocker is not even showing up in a search at the Play Store. I have it installed so it shows up in my installed list with the "device incompatible" msg as well. I installed it from a Titanium Backup.

Go Locker is free and has a lot of themes available. I use it (I've even made a couple themes for the market...er..."play store"). And I think you may be able to use it without needing to have go launcher as your default home. As long as you set it up while using go launcher/ go locker, you might be able to switch to whatever other launcher you prefer. I may be mistaken since I haven't tried it myself (I use go launcher), but friends with samsung phones have tried it and can use it with other launchers.

I like that one too.
I like being able to change which shortcuts I have available and have more than 3 or 4. That's why I made my own that has 4 app shortcuts and the home unlock. If anyone wants to try it out and let me know what they think, it's free on the market here:

Thank you!! My LCD density was set at 256. I changed it back to 240; still didn't work. So then I cleared the Dalvik cache and the data from Goggle Play Store and now I can download apps once again!!

I think what you need to do is set the "Go Switch Widget" as a Device Administrator. Go to menu>settings>location & security>Select device administrators and then check the go switch widget.
The stock moto locker should not come up (except for when your phone boots up from a shutdown/restart). Let us know if that's what fixes it.
Also, just as a side note, make sure when you install a different theme for Go Locker that you do NOT hit "open" after the install. It will give you an error. After you install a theme, you just need to select it from the Go Locker menu. I've had a few friends complain that a new theme doesn't work, but it's because they didn't read the directions .

hmm..i can't find "Go Switch Widget" under device administrator.

You might need to download/install it then. The only reason I did is because it told me to. Strange that you didn't get the same message.
If you don't mind, try it out and report back.

Lock Screen Opinion
I would have to say Go Locker. Has a lot of themes IMO and if use the pin to get into the phone don't even have to type the enter key. I just want my phone unlocked faster.

found this cool lockscreen Active Lock Screen on play store.. its pretty neat, got loads of customisations for shortcuts and also a few themes..
