For some reason since yesterday I keep getting this other menu system coming up on the main page which slows my exec down.
It has tabs for home, custom, settings, help along the bottom. And on the left side of screen messages, calls, o2, video, media centre, extras, favorites. How can I get rid of all this?
I just want my main page to display the basic stuff like date, owner, messages, tasks, appointments, msn, battery status.
Thanks!
!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
what the ????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????
never heard of such a thing as what you are referring to?
Tried hard resetting it?
Have you installed some dodgy software?
oooooooooooooooooooooooooooohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh
i just re-read it
you have the ubeaut whizz bang O2 screw up system
hard reset the phone, go into coroprate mode, enter the magic key posted on this web 0506 I think or something similar
this is posted in various ways on these forums, alas I use the Jasjar so no such problem
You have 3 install types, and you want to go back to the basic corporate mode not the o2 bloated stuff
Anyone else having these problems?
Starting Download...
When you try to download from the Market, it hangs at "Starting Download..." and stays there for days? When you try to open Gtalk it perhaps immediately force-closes?
I was trying to find the solution to this for about four or five days - in the end, I had to do a factory reset. Google is (mostly) unresponsive about this problem.
Things I tried:
Toggling Wifi (nothing)
Changing google acct password so the Market has to ask for it again, perhaps resetting something? (didn't work)
Clearing data, cache, the whole shebang from Gtalk, Market, Gapps (no juice)
Couple of restarts (noooope)
Starting downloads and then killing the Market app - still nothing, and done mostly as a last resort.
Possible causes:
It was not tied to rooting the device - what I think happened was when I went to purchase Root Explorer, I had to create a Google Checkout subaccount, and then I was able to grab it...but after that, I could not install any apps from the Market. It seems like internationally this issue is tied to being @googlemail vs @gmail, but that wasn't my case. I've since restored Vb to her former glory, but it was tedious...factory resets suck and I hope I never have to do another one.
What I've done to keep this from happening in the future:
ROM Manager and Clockwork Recovery. I had backups of my apps and data on my computer of course, but this is soooo much easier.
I'll definitely let you know if it ends up flailing out on me again, but so far I haven't had any problems. If you have an app to back up your stuff, or if you want to just do it manually, do that and then selectively restore things after the factory reset. I actually had so few apps that I ended up just re-downloading them from the Market and everything is working smoothly, but that might be a hassle for others.
I had this problem back on my G1 but that was because I removed the IM.apk package not knowing what the result would be. I got it reinstalled and all was well. I've not run into this issue yet with my Vibrant nor do I know anyone else who has.
Had the same issue and found a way to fix it.
Settings -> Applications -> Manage Applications -> Filter -> All -> Download Manager -> Clear Data
Should work. Worked twice for me. I think this is a Vibrant issue

Not so, fortunately or unfortunately. People have been having this issue for over a year and a half, and different things fix it for different people.
Hi guys,
Been searching around but can't find answers, please if you know this question has been asked, just point me in the right direction.
I have a Vodafone Magic (yeah, yeah, I know, stupid right? Fancy wanting an android phone that the supplier will never upgrade past 1.6) But I didn't have that knowledge at the time. While I'm not happy with the phone generally, I have a more specific question.
I have always been happy enough using the stock broswer, although I have tried others too. But Just yesterday a problem turned up, that even using alternate browsers does not help with. When I go onto google site, and into preferences (settings) for google, which goes basically to the same page regardless of browser, I have always been able to save my prefernces, Ie safe search (other than moderate), save location, save searches etc. But yesterday, and since, every time I change a setting, save and then go back into settings, nothing I changed has altered.
Basically rambling, but say I change safe search to strict, press save, goes back to google page, go back into settings, and sure enough safe search is back to moderate.
This used to happen only when I cleared cache.
What the hell have I done to the phone to cause this, it's really quite irritating.
I have turned phone off and back on. I haven't done a factory reset yet, as hoping there is a solution that doesn't invole reinstalling all apps etc. I haven't done a soft reset, because I don't know if one exists.
Thanks in advance,
Steve
"have a Vodafone Magic is stupid right?" I don't think so haha
I upgraded my Windows 7 PC to Windows 8 (read: not a clean install) a few nights ago. Everything worked great, until recently. I changed the setting in PC settings to make everything appear larger. Now when I choose "Change PC settings" from the settings charm, I get the message: "This app can't open. There's a problem with PC settings. Refreshing your PC might help fix it."
Everything else seems to be working fine, but I am now stuck with a huge interface and no way to get into the PC settings. I have tried all of the obvious things (searching google/xda, restarting the PC, power off and on, etc.) As I understand it, performing a refresh will keep my Windows 8 apps, but will wipe out all my desktop programs. Am I correct in this? I really would like to avoid this, as I have a lot of programs installed, some of which I have lost the discs/installers for. What do you guys think?
EDIT: Now that I think about it, this also means I don't have access to many other important items such as Windows Update and user accounts.

Correct me if I am wrong but if you can get to the modurn settings to do a refresh then you should be able to do an advanced boot. I thnk there is a repaire install there that will not wipe out your programs. That said if you find something as wimple as setting to make things bigger has done this there could be a host of bugs but it may be worth trying to find the registry entry for this and changing it back to see if it fixes the problem. Not sure where it is but google is good here - always backup the registry before making changes.

EDIT: Well, I just checked my PC and apparently the problem resolved itself. Hopefully it will stay that way!
I have just taken delivery of my new N4, turned it on and set it up but now it is downloading all the apps I have installed on my Nexus 7.
Although I want some of them, I don't want several GB of games which I will then have to remove. Had to put it in airplane mode for now but I can't find any way to cancel the downloads.
On the market screen, when it shows your apps which auto downloading , you can see up and right corner a "button" to cancel the procedure.
During the initial set up it will have asked if you want to restore your account to this device. If you left that ticked then it will do this.
Thanks, least I know for next time. It had already downloaded loads when I realised.
Factory reset and choosing not to restore settings also worked.
