I've got a stock evo shift with the most recent OTA update (Android 2.3.3 Sense 2.1 Software number 2.76.651) and my Sense has been restarting ALL THE TIME. I'll be using an app, hit the home button or the back button to get to my home screen, and it'll show a white screen with the green HTC then show my home screen with a loading message for 5-10 seconds. This only started happening after updating and it's starting to get pretty annoying. Anyone else have this problem/know of a solution for it? I've tried reboots and it usually seems to make it happen less for a little while but it always starts to happen again.
Since you said Stock. Does that mean unrooted? It is a known issue on Stock Gingerbread. The Memory settings are to agressive. You can try AutoKiller Memory Optimizer to change the settings. But it will only help so much.

yup, unrooted unfortunately. waitin for the root to come out. that's pretty stupid that HTC/sprint would put that out without fixing it. devs these days

I had the same problem - got to where almost every time I switched back to the home screen from doing anything, it would have to reload. I tried disabling fast boot and it didn't do anything for me. I did a factory reset, re-downloaded the apps I wanted to keep, and that seemed to fix the problem. Very rarely happens anymore, only seems to occur when I am in the browser for a long time or playing a game for a while. Hope this helps.
I'm rooted, on the stock rom, and sense would re-load. I use Launcher Pro now, and while I still get a few reloads, the launcher refreshes much quicker than sense, and it does have widgets similar to Sense. I had paid for LP Pro last year, with my Evo, so I figure I'd use my paid app.

Hi guys!
I´ve just updated my TF101 to ICS and it´s really fast. But I have a problem with the laucher. Some times, when touch the home button to go to the homescreen, the laucher and all the icons desappear.
I can´t go to the apps that are open (with the multi-task button) but the launcher doesn´t appear.
The only solution I know is shuting down the Tf101 or closing the laucher app, but it is quite boring to do ir every 5 or 10 min.
Does it happen to anyone here?
Happens to me as well.

Same here... needs re-boot to recover...
I only had that if the option to kill tasks as u exit them was checked on. Its under developer options towards the bottom.
Edit: actually that's only the case on my phone. I have the option checked on my tablet and it works just fine.

Ok thanks for all I´ll re-boot it, but will I lose all my apps? I´ve never done a hard reset.
Everything that wasn't stock on the tablet will have to be reinstalled.

same here but may be able to narrow it down.
I am having the same problem. The whole screen just displays the wallpaper and removes any icons or buttons. So I can pan sideways and can sometime know what I am clicking on by memory but all icons go until I reboot.
weird thing is.... I have done a factory reset. reloaded my apps and settings. Its all working fine until I pop the Gmail and Calendar widgets on the screen, then boom. Gone again.
At the moment I am running without any widgets and I have not had a repeat. Do any of you clever clogs have any ideas on this one. Seems to be a small percentage of users with the issue.
Same...
I had the same problem however it seems to have stopped now. Perhaps as a result of my app purge that i did the other day.
Anyway for those still having this problem i suggest you use the notification bar to access the settings then from there you can go to the Launcher under apps and do a force close. after a bit it will reopen again with all screen icons and widgets back.
Guys I think this is the same issue, it happens on my tf.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1519943
yep
Happens to me too,
I managed to fix it the latest time without rebooting, by going into settings, running apps and stopping the launcher and anything google. Next time this happen I will make a note of which killed process gives me my app icons back.
also its strange that even with the app icons gone, you can still click around the screen and open things, as if they were there.
same ...
same problem on my tf101
I fixed this by clearing the data for the Launcher in settings. Hasn't happened since but annoying as it meant rebuilding my homescreens :-(

you should try Nova Launcher, it looks and acts like the default launcher in ICS. But with a couple functions added. I havent had any troubles with it.
Just search it in the market. to get the widgets to work just move it to /system/app
I installed ICS on mine at the weekend. For a couple of days it reasonably stable, though certain apps lagged somewhat. Then it got much, much worse. There's a recurrent problem with the launcher. If you've gone away from it, such as to use an app, and then return, firstly the widgets and stacked/grouped app icons vanish, then all the rest of the icons vanish, and the three squares on the top right of the screen. The icons are still there, as it's possible to stab on the screen in the right place and launch the app that the invisible icon links to. All five screens of the launcher have vanished. The tablet still runs, as the live wallpaper still runs, and the recent apps are accessible.
Other problems include major freezes or lags. It's common to go to launch email or the web browser only to have to wait 20 seconds or so before anything happens. I've had to wait 5 minutes before now for Opera to launch. Eventually the tablet will freeze and I have to reboot it, but even then, apps take an age to launch, and regularly freeze. It's getting to the point of being totally unusable. It's taken many, many attempts to write this email as the app crashes of its own accord, and perish the thought that I copy and paste any text in, including the email address - it's enough to crash the email app.
My TF101 ran Android 3.2 perfectly fine, and very, very quickly. It was gloriously stable. I can't get more than 2 hours of use out of this without having to reboot; this afternoon I've been having to reboot every 10 minutes.
I've drawn Asus' attention to these problems via Twitter and Google+, and I know they've been told about it on Facebook, but there's been a wall of silence.

I had the problem with a disappearing launcher on ICS on 4 different launchers. Recently I removed a few widgets (NewsRepublic, Bacon Reader, and DroidWidget) and haven't had the problem reoccur. Maybe some widget incompatibility is to blame?

Could be. Mine's more stable (touch wood) since I got rid of both Beautiful Widgets widgets off my home screen.
Guys I´ve finally done a hard reset on my tf and all goes fine.
Thanks for all
Same problem here with the stock ICS launcher. Using ADW Launcher EX without problems.
Some apps seems to be running super fast at times and then others super slow at times with ICS. Guess I'll do a Titanium backup and factory reset and see if that helps. ugh...
Hi,
Searched the internet but could only find one other writing about the exact same issue that I have.
Has any of you experienced the same? I happens quite often unfortunately...
Quote from this Google forum:
I have a habit of using "Back" button to "exit" from Android applications back to the launcher. Recently, I started noticing a rather peculiar and intermittent behavior associated with "Back" button. Consider the following scenario:
I launch my Out of Milk app using a icon on my launcher screen. The app starts successfully. I do what I wanted to do. And then I hit the "Back" button in order to return back to the launcher screen. The Out of Milk GUI disappears, but it is immediately replaced with Google Earth app splash screen. It is displayed for a very short time (a split second). Then it disappears and I finally return to the launcher screen.
Some other time I launch RealCalc app, do what I wanted to do, and hit the "Back" button. For a split second I get thrown to Contacts app for and only then I return to the launcher.
This seems to happen with all apps. Sometimes, when I hit the "Back" button I even get to see glimpses of two apps instead of one, in sequence, each for the very same short period of time. This behavior is very intermittent. In many cases the "Back" button works as it is supposed to, i.e. it returns me to the launcher screen immediately.
So, what is causing this strange "flashback" behavior?

well, if you don't have any launcher set to default, you can kill it and when you click on back button it goes to random app, but you have the default launcher set, so this is not the problem in your case.
P.S.: I also have Nova Launcher and don't have this problem, so the problem must be somewhere else.

I'm using the default launcher.
It's very random to me, which app is popping up. Mostly it's an app that I've been using within the previous couple of hours...

That's really weird. Do you use any custom ROM/kernel? Do you have Xposed Framework installed? Is your phone rooted?
same thing has been happening to me for a while on probably 5 different roms and I always use the GEL launcher. I cannot for the life of me figure out why it does it.

Stock ROM with Franco kernel. But I think it also happened on Faux kernel, but not 100% sure.
I also just disabled Xposed Framework to be able to run on ART, which didn't change it.

It just don't make sense to me. I am also using Franco kernel, but not with stock ROM. I also have GEL and Nova Launcher installed. I have run out of ideas.
same here, quite annoying, 4.4.2 stock and franco r34
I find this happens when a [bad] app crashes. I can't remember which app I had problems with but until I uninstalled it every time I used the back button to leave it I'd wind up in another app, usually one I had not used in a while.
happened here too... stock launcher, stock kernel, gravity box installed, rooted... about the only changes i've made.
Just a kitkat glitch probably

This same issue happens to me as well, not too often but it does occur. The apps that mostly come up for me are the dialer and gmail. Im running SlimKat 4.4.2 Build 3.6 with Nova Prime set as the default launcher and I actually started experiencing it after seeing several people who brought it up in the SlimKat thread. However, from what all i have read, seen, and been told about it though, it has been happening to people on all different KitKat roms both custom and stock and not just any one thing in particular. Like another person said, i too believe it is just a KitKat bug in general and not something specific as to any one single thing that could be causing it. I would guess that it will be fixed eventually being that many people have been experiencing it and not just a few.

I'm also having this issue. Stock rom/kernel and rooted. Caught it on screen record. Excuse the background noise. Didn't realise it was recording sound. http://youtu.be/sOxzuiFv3xQ
Glad I'm not the only one experiencing this problem. Also sometimes when I'm exiting to the homescreen my icons and widgets take a split second to appear.
The same thing happened on my Skyrocket running 4.4.2 before it kicked the bucket. Figured it was due to running a custom rom but now it's happening on my mostly stock N5.

This is unrelated, it is just redrawing your homescreen.
Haven't had this issue. Are you guys tapping the back button quickly and repeatedly?
Hello everyone!
Let me start off by saying that i'm actually using an unrooted, officially update nexus 5, updated to the latest 5.0.1
I have no problem whatsoever, battery really seem to have improved, but lately i've been getting a strange behavior
After a period of use (it goes from a couple of days to a whole week) the phone oddly slows down when i press the middle button, to return back to the homescreen.
For example, if I'm using the facebook app, and watch a couple of videos along with opening a few external links, when i press the home button, the whole home "loads" from start. I mean, i literally see nothing for a second, then it slowly loads widgets and icons. After it's been loaded, everything works flawlessly again, but if i open facebook again, use it for a while and press the home screen, it loads again.
Mind that i have no custom drawer (i tried Themer, it gives me the same error, it says "loading homescreen" when the problem appears) but the problem is still there with the stock homescreen. I tried force-closing the apps i used, thinking about a memory issue, but to no avail. I have to turn off and turn on the device, and everything works wonders again.
Is there any app that could help me with this issue? I'd like to understand why it's doing this and which app is slowing down my phone.

I am not Sure whether this is 100% sure, But have heard that there is a memory leak issue in lollipop. Which might be the reason of ur problem. And the oly way get enough memory is to restart. But again, I am not Sure whether the above information is correct though.

I've heard that too, but it's strange that it has appeared only now. I haven't had this kind of issue ever since i updated it.
The FB app is just real buggy. My personal theory is whatever that app does exposes the Lollipop memory leak.

Yep i know about that, the FB app is just horrible script-wise. Nevertheless, i've never had THIS problem. And even if i forceclose it, it doesn't solve the problem anyway.
I don't know when this happened from the time i installed OOS 9.0.0 or from the latest OOS 9.0.3 update but is very annoying. Any application i have opened minimized/closed and sent me to the home screen of my launcher when i lock my phone or let it lock itself. I formatted my phone but nothing, now i installed Beta 6 but the issue is still here. Does anyone have the same issue with me?
Sorry for my bad English.
I have the same problem. I think it's from 9.0.2, hopefully somebody makes a fix for it soon.
In fact, I've noticed that gesture navigation is really glitchy. I've had multiple times that I've been forced to the home screen randomly while typing, none of which happened before the update. I'm surprised they've pushed this out.
