I just noticed this recently as I don't normally change my lockscreen wallpaper. But now, everytime I do so, the device freezes and the only way out is to remove the battery
I'm not sure when this happened but the only thing I can think of that might led to this is that I installed and then uninstalled PocketShield. Anybody else has this issue? Or, anybody knows how to resolve this? Any suggestions?
Thanks for any help.
Ive had this happen to me more than a couple times, with many different roms.
Bottom line is that it's a bug in Windows Mobile.

But it did not happen before. I used to change the lockscreen wallpaper a lot and never had the freezing. It's only now and I'm suspecting that Pocketshield is the culprit as it has something to do with lockscreen. But thanks for the feedback.
If it's a bug, that means no solution at all?

Okay, so I've noticed that on both my lock screen and Clock app, that my alarm clocks don't show up as the Human Readable time format. For example, I have an alarm set for 6am tomororow (1/12/2010), and when the lock screen is showing it has the alarmclock icon and show "1263294000000" next to it, which is the epoch time for 1/12/2010 6:00:00 am. It also does this in the clock app on the app's home screen, but if I go into the alarms screen it shows up fine.
Anyone else experiencing this?
Weird. Mine shows up in a normal time. I've tried looking through the clock app, and system settings and couldn't find a way to replicate your issue.
Since yours is rooted it may have something to do with what youve flashed to it so far.
Or maybe not cause im rooted with cyan and just tried and it appeared fine

Lol. Yah. I've got a few friends around here that have basically the same setup. Not really an issue, more a nuisance. But I seriously don't get it. I'll probably try and reset later today and recreate it. I was just curious if any one else noticed this.
Strange.
I have another question for the clock app:
Is there a way to turn off the charging light and the backlight on the capacitive buttons when in the dimmed clock app mode? The screen is actually quite nice and readable in the dark but the bright lights next to it are annoying / wash the screen out some.
Maybe it's something in Locale settings? That's where I'd look.

Trust me, I went through just about every possible 'setting' i could possibly think of. I'm assuming it has something to do with a program i have installed. I haven't had the time to do a reset yet, but plan on giving it a shot later.
Here's what I know though, its not normal, and its not because of root. Seems no one else is having this issue. lol, WTF.
Hi all. I've just been wondering... has anyone else besides me ran into countless problems using the Nexus Launcher/Launcher2 on their phone? I'm running Fresh 2.0d with the included .apk, and here are some bugs I've found:
Unresponsiveness
Screen turns black and stays black requiring a battery pull
Launcher will launch without displaying icons in the menu
Now, it is not only Flipz's ROM that has these problems either... it is EVERY ROM I've tried. I'm sure most of you will tell me to use Helix Launcher. I have tried it, but it doesn't have the same feel that the Nexus Launcher has.
Has anyone found a fix for these stability issues? If not, I'd like to start a project so we can get this working, because I'm sure it's completely possible. After all, Flipz was able to get the 2.1 lockscreen working!

I am running fresh2.0d and stock screen turns black and needs battery pull when I use camera app and hit back button or any button.
Launcher has been pretty responsive except here and there....
I do get to the mode where no icons on home screen for few seconds at times but it recovers pretty soon....
As far as the lock screen, I ran in to an issue while my corporate policy forced me to assign lock/unlock password! Soon I enable password and lock, phone stops responding!!! I have to either pull the battery or issue reboot command via prompt!!!
I hope this helps.... I am not a developer though....
I have been disappointed by the nexus launcher's performance as well.
The black screen requiring a reboot (or if you hold home and happen to have settings in the app switch menu you can force kill it and restart it) is a common occurrence with seemingly no pattern. Sometimes it after a long browsing session, other times its happens after deleting a single e-mail message and returning to the main screen. The only consistent way to make it happen is to hit back after launching camera from the app drawer.
Ive also noticed in every rom with launcher, that when coming out of the launch screen the app shortcuts and widgets on the home screen don't load instantly. Almost as if the launcher was killed while it was asleep and when unlocking it, it is reloaded.
It's disappointing because as you said, while helixlauncher is an OK alternative, nothing else has quite the same feel as nexus launcher. Unfortunately I think it will take a good bit of modification to make it a perfect match with the hero and I have absolutely 0 idea where to even begin .
Flipz, if you ever read this, could you offer some insight on this? You've worked your magic on the 2.1 lockscreen
The only rom i had it running great on was Darchlegend v4.1 i think it was, i finally said forget it and started using helix
Every one i have tried has been buggy as well. Things mught improve once we get the hero 2.1 source. Or once google decouples them.
Hey, i got a weird notification issue. The animation seems to be off but I have no idea what app causes it. It seems that the status bar icons overlap over the notification. Currently on the t-mobile v20. it happens randomly.. I had gmail, sms and hop spot on before this happen. also had random game notifications. anybody seeing this?? You can see it more on landscape mode.

Mine does stuff like this every now and then. A reboot fixes it, don't know the cause though. Doesn't happen enough to care.
I have tried everything, changing screen resolution, DPI, screen zoom, etc. But I just cannot stop the screen from going below the bottom of the phone. Happening on the lockscreen and a few others, strange thing is does not happen on all apps.
Does anyone know how you stop this? Thank you.
Hi,
not sure it'll help, but under settings, there in the display settings is a option for "full screen apps"
Give it a try?
Did you try doing a factory reset
No I haven't done a factory reset as that is really the only issue, and everything else is running like a charm. Don t think it deserves hours of setting up again and no guarantees that it fixes the problem.
It's Lockstar causing that behaviour...
Give it up. Use the stock lockscreen.
That's what I did... Lockstar many times give me weird elements positioninig

Tried that, stock lock screen still does exactly the same. And it cuts off a few other app menus, but not all which is weird.
Strange thing I have noticed, I was playing a game waiting for the doctor yesterday, when I was called I switched off the screen without exiting the game. Later when I turned on the screen again all the icons were visible in the right places. Some kind of DPI graphics change when the game runs I imagine?
Found the issues causing this problem.
I enabled navigation gestures in settings rather than navigation buttons.
Fluid Navigation was set to hide navigation bar, I set this to do not hide.
Both the lockscreen and all other offsets no longer occur.
Now, I know that this really isn't a big issue as it only happens when rebooting the device or turning it off and then on again, but I've been wondering why it does that. Once I've then again changed the wallpaper to my liking, it stays. It will only revert back to the original (red) one if I reboot the phone or turn it off.
I find this to be quite strange, anyone else encountering this problem?

Deinstall the Wallpaper Carousel App.
This should solve the problem
