Hey everyone.
When I turn my phone landscape to view web pages, emails, text messages etc (but not pictures and videos), my phone just switches back to the home screen. Every single time. Can I download and install a fix? It was working fine. I installed a couple of apps, Leo updates etc and now it is screwed.
Any answers.
Thanks in advance.
Richard.
It seems that when I reset the phone then use the above functions they are working fine...it seems sporadic though and it is annoying. If anyone thinks of anything let me know.
Thanks.

Hey, I just got a new AT&T 8525 about 4 or 5 days ago and I've been having a lot of problems with it, actually. Sometimes, when I'm using it the touch screen will just stop responding. I would just press the power button so the display goes away but then when I try to turn it back on, it just doesn't do anything at all! The led's still flash and everything.
To get it working again, I just take the battery out and then it works for maybe a couple hours until it happens again. I tried to look up the problem and I think I remember seeing that it could be from having a program that is constantly using data connections such as a weather program or an rss feed program.
I'm using WM5.
Can anyone please help me??
Thank you!
Anyone at all? It would be great if someone could help me.
Hi, I hope this is where I ask a new question. My HTC Snap had been working perfectly up until last this morning. Whenever I go to any app (i.e. PIE, Mail, Start button, etc.) my Snap reverts back to the home screen as if I had tapped on the back key, but this does it by itself after a about 15 seconds.
It never did that before. The last thing I installed yesterday was the TCPMP player, but I don't have any other type of mods on my phone beyond the install of a few apps, and again it was working fine last night.
Tried soft reset, but issue is still there. Afraid to do a hard reset thinking that will deleted everything including Sprint added apps.
Has anyone experience this? I want it to stay in the program until I decide to close it. It's now a pain when loading web pages and it jumps back to the home page. Help please from the experts!
**** UPDATE: RESOLVED ****
I found the issue. Somehow the Home Screen setting was set to 10 seconds. Bumped it up to 5 minutes.
Hi,
Bizarre problem started happening on my HD2 a couple of days ago... all HTC apps are now being forced into horizontal orientation, and they won't rotate back to portrait whatever position I hold the phone in.
Other apps not by HTC are fine, for example Opera 10 starts in portrait mode and I can freely rotate between landscape and portrait just fine... it's only HTC's own apps that are affected, so Phone, Messages, Calculator... stuff like that.
I haven't installed any apps recently, this has happened completely at random. I'm able to disable rotation in BsB Tweaks. But I don't want to have to do this. I just want it back to normal. Tried all the obvious things like soft reset etc. It temporarily worked the first time but doesn't now. Re-calibrated G-Sensor... no effect though, and seeing as other apps work fine this clearly isn't the problem.
I'm running stock UK (Vodafone) ROM 1.72. Don't really wanna reload the firmware but I will if I have to. Anyone else had this happen? Any ideas what to do?
Thanks.
Hi. I foolishly updated to NK1 a month or so ago assuming there was a root. Since the update, I've been having some really annoying basic functionality problems with my Note 3 (outside of it feeling sluggish overall). I've gotten around keyboard freezes, input lag and general f-ups in the Messenger app by switching to Textra. The now nonexistent haptic feedback was "fixed" by increasing the vibration length for each key on the keyboard. For some apps, I've sideloaded an old version to get them to behave like they did before the update. However, there are a few other issues that I'm hoping someone may have some ideas how to fix.
1) YouTube will constantly error out when trying to load a video and my subscriptions list. The white circle will just spin and spin until it finally gives me a "video cannot load" error. If a video won't load, it won't load no matter how many times I click on it to refresh it. I'll have to either close the app and reopen it, or for the really difficult times, restart my phone. Also, if I shrink the app rather than close it when I'm done, no videos will play when I reopen the app unless I close it or restart my phone.
2) The stock camera clears its settings whenever it feels like it. Auto flash, face detection and image stabilization will randomly turn from "on" and "auto" to "off."
3) All of the web browsers (Opera, Chrome, default browser) and Google Maps just randomly hang for about 2 minutes as they try to load data from Wi-Fi and 4G signals. It's similar to what happens with YouTube but they eventually fix themselves after these long hiccups.
4) Often when the backlight turns off before the phone is going to sleep and I touch the screen to keep it awake, the backlight gets stuck in its turned off state, making it hard to see the screen. The only way to get around this is to put the phone to sleep and then wake it up. It does this at least a few times a day.
5) Pulling down the notification bar will sometimes randomly cause my phone screen to start flashing between the notification bar and the lock screen. I have to do a hard reset when this happens.
Thanks in advance for the help! I'm sorry this post is so long. I hate this update and am seriously considering going to HTC.
Have you tried a factory reset?
I have not. I was trying to avoid that if possible and use a last resort.

It's probably your best option. But first try clearing data in the offending apps. Or making sure the apps are updated, or even unibnstalling and reinstalling the apps.
Hey,
I was wondering if some one knows a solution to my problem cuz it is bugging me out I have to restart the phone two tree times a day.
So basically on random occasions my drop down menu (clock/battery/sygbal etc) will stop working and I can't pull it down, I even had it stick twice when it was pulled down I was not able to pull it back up but the small portion from the background I had left was working. So in all situations in order to make it work again I have to restart the phone. The phone it self works I can call I can do anything but I can't pull the menu up or down. If for some reason I by mistake close the phone app wile talking I am unable to pull it back up and I can't close the conversation, I can talk but I cannot hang up or do anything with it.
I was wondering if some one has expiriance something like this if so if they figured out a fix, and if some one has any suggestions how to fix it?
I have nothing special on my phone it's not rooted or anything, I have mostly Google apps and some social media like tweeter etc.
Thank you in advance for your time and help.
Nobody?!
