So if I scroll thru the marketplace app list quickly, the phone will lock up and exit back to the home screen, after awhile. The marketplace will not open again until a reboot. Anyone else?
No problems here, I'd say try a hard reset.
yes its a known wp7 bug with a large thread on the wp7 support site.
Yes I found the thread after I posted here.
I've had this issue a few times..
I can usually avoid it by slowly scrolling through the list..
usually the first several items have no trouble.. but if you scroll too fast before the app information has loaded, the marketplace app seems to freeze.
I have learned to stop scrolling when I can see the scroll bar. When it disappears again, it's usually safe to go scroll more.
Hopefully they fix it soon.

My pocket IE closes on its own from time to time. Has anybody else had this problem? I can't isolate the cause, but it seems to happen whenever I'm scrolling using the bar on the right, or when I try to scroll while pages are still loading. It doesn't happen consistently so I can't say for sure. I tried searching Hermes_Problems, wiki, and searched forums but couldn't find a relevant thread.
I have seen this happen if you have your temp. files and cookies, etc. set to your storage card.
Try changing that and see what happens

Yes it does happen. However it is not closing down it is merely minimising itself. So if you install a task manager that shows an icons for open applications on the task bar, all you have to do is tap the iIE icon and back up it comes exactly on the page you were on. I forget now if the likes of Magic Button task manager shows the iconson the task bar - I think it does. (So might be worth installing it?)

I'm pretty sure mine closes it altogether. when i open IE back up it starts at the default screen. I know when i press the red hang-up button it minimizes IE because I can open it back up to the page I was browsing, so I know that's not it. hmmmmm...... defective model? it must be a software problem but it didn't go away with my flashing to WM6.
Ok, so I have been struggling for a couple days with this, and I hope someone can help me.
I want Android to always run my splash screen activity, because I load a bunch of data from web services that I need throughout the rest of the app. This works fine with the flag android:clearTaskOnLaunch="true" set when you launch the app from the home screen.
Where it does not work so well is the long press of the home button and then selecting the app. In that case it starts the app in whatever random spot the user left it last. The problem is that if the app has been killed due to memory, it still shows in that recent apps list and when a user restarts the activity from the long press, all my data is gone so the app force closes.
So, my ugly workaround is to remove the app from the recently run list. I would much rather it showed up there but that it started my app the same way as if it was clicked on the home screen.
Anybody know how to do this? The ebay app pretty much does this, so I know it can be done.

Instead of reading your data in OnCreate, you could do it in OnResume. See the flow chart here:
http://developer.android.com/reference/android/app/Activity.html
as you can see, OnResume is always called whether the app is created initially, resumed from pause, or reloaded.

In the onResume for the activity that is crashing, you could test your data to see if it's still there, if it's null you can run the code to repopulate it again.
I picked mine up about 2 1/2 weeks ago. It's fully stock and I'm running LauncherPro Plus with only 2 screens. Here are some of the issues I've noticed while using. Some would be considered bugs, others as design defects.
notifications will disappear with only the clock , wifi and battery showing. when I touch the clock everything will pop up but will disappear again when i clear the screen.
random screen glitches including flashes, screen rotations and lag,
music player will stop for no reason and i have to hit the play button again to get it going, or will stop when i open another app,
CNN news widget will disappear sometimes,
the volume rocker is difficult to engage
market only runs in landscape which is a major pain,
after reviewing a selection on the market, it returns you to the top of the category which is bad if the category has thousands of selections.
these are minuscule issues. honeycomb is new from the ground up so these will be worked out.
anyone else have these or other issues?

I hate this as well. It forces me to think do i really want to look at this app and have to scroll all the way down again? I would look at more apps and try more if i didnt have to scroll and find my place again.
That's like it is in every market app. I think it's a good reason to use the android market website. Since the application always returns to the top.

Bug it!
The only issue I can confirm is the market not returning to your location in the list, which is annoying. Everything else the OP lists seems like random issues with his unit.
Actually those issue are probably happening because Launcher Pro Plus was written for android 2.1, not even 2.2. The Market issue affects all of us.

Ive had some lag...not as smooth as my ipad2. I know HC has widgets and etc going on on the homescreen, but still, it does lag once in a while and its annoying when it hangs for a few seconds.
Volume rocker...yes, its super annoying and shows some places where Motorola did not really think this through entirely.
Market going to landscape...yea its a little annoying
Music player stopping songs...YES I got that a lot...extremely annoying.
Hi,
I have observed in a few apps a certain problem: Some apps don't support the NST side buttons, so I scroll by swiping my finger over the screen. In most apps this works.
But there are a few where it does not work properly: Somehow these apps seem to have a problem interpreting my swipe correctly. Sometimes they correctly interpret it as attempt to scroll down, but very often they will also interpret it as an attempt to scroll up, even though I am making the same movement. This way reading a long article is really annoying because you always get sent back to the top of the article.
Apps in which I have observed this: Wapedia, International Herald Tribune, Read It Later (this last one does not exist anymore, as it has been replaced by "Pocket" which does not work on Android 2.1).
All of these apps seem to show exactly the same problem, so I suspect a common cause.
Did anyone make similar observations or maybe even has an idea for a fix?
Thanks!
I have the same problem for some apps. If I do long swipe up most of the screen there is no problem.
But it is annoying when I forget.
Anyone know whats wrong when chrome almost always opens new page as blank, it starts to load, then it just show blank page?
If you click on screen the page is in background and if you click in right place it opens links etc.
Only way to display page correctly is to press home button and open chrome again, then page shows up correctly.
Really annoying bug and happens many times a day! (tried both, normal and beta chrome)
[EDIT] this bug is not rom/phone related, my wifes nexus 5 with different rom has this too...

Yeah, same thing happening here. Also you can swipe left/right on the address bar, to change tab, and go back to "blank" one, now it will show correctly.
This start happening i think before 2 updates.
Though I haven't found anything about that bug. I tried cleaning both, data and cache, with no help.
Been getting it a lot lately, not sure if it was a chrome update or the fact I've been dirty flashing custom roms lately.
I was so mad with this bug, that i tried clean flash, and first page i tried to open was empty... :|
Fun fact, happens alot on the desktop version, atleast for me but I think it has to do with flash.
It's down to chrome itself, not the rom.
If I remember correctly, I had it even while using 4.4.2, now I'm on 4.4.3
As I mentioned, bug was here from last 2 or 3 chrome update.
Also, I don't have this problem in chrome on my pc.
