Occasionally, when opening an app, the app only displays on the screen for a fraction of a second, then disappears. It just kinda blinks on then off...
I can't figure out what is causing it to do this. It has happened to me with K-9, Facebook, Twitter, Maps...pretty much any app. Sometimes I try to open facebook, and it won't open, but twitter will....Some of the time you can get the program to open if you go home, then open and close the app drawer.....
Anyone else with a similar problem? I have reset the phone twice and it is still doing this...Other than this occasional problem, I love the Vibrant!
Do you have an app killer or startup controller? Mine did the same thing, and I quickly realized I was killing a service that the apps I was launching depended on.

^ pretty much exactly what I was going to post. What have you installed on your phone like this?
Mine has done this a few times, usually after an app force closes. For 30 seconds or so after if I try to reopen that app it will just shut off again, then after a bit, it's fine.
It's happened with the web browser more than once, and a couple other apps.
I get the same exact problem with no real reason. Whenever it happens I just go into the settings from the menu button. Settings opens fine and once I close it ever other app opens correctly again.

That's what I thought at first.. I wiped the phone and it did it even after when I had no task or app killers installed...

Yes, that seems to help mine too...
Did you erase unneeded apps? There is a list around here somewhere of apps that can be safely deleted, without violating dependencies. I have a stock unit with the lag, the blue tint, etc. . . But I never had this problem without the startup manager.

yes.. I took most of the bloatware off using root manager.
Startup auditor has a list of dependencies for each app that you have installed. Not much good for things that you have already deleted, but maybe the dev site can help? I know I saw a list somewhere of bloat that could be "safely deleted".

The only bloat I deleted was Telenav, so I doubt that's the cause of it.

I've noticed this as well. However, If you hold down your home key, after it does the weird flash, and select the app from the pop up menu, it will open. Weird.

I seriously doubt that this has anything to do with deleting the bloatware apk's...
I haven't removed anything and mine does this as well. Usually after an app freezes or force closes.

Hello,
I recently had a force-close issue on a recent rom (syndicate frozen 1.1.0) where I was overclocking to 1.4ghz and tried to wifi tether. Tether would not start, so I closed it with taskmanager, and restarted tether. Phone instantly rebooted and I was stuck with the apps that were previously running force-closing.
You need to be rooted for this to work.
Make a list of all the apps that are force closing (important that you include your launcher)
I found out that if you go to the "report" button, there is a "more info" button that opens browser (hopefully it still works). From there, do a google search for a free root file system browser apk (there are plenty of them). Download the apk. the pulldown menu should still be working. Once the download finishes, you will get a notification, pull down the bar and install the app. after it installs, you will get a prompt to "open" the app or "close" the window, choose "open". Navigate to your /data/data folder. search for something that resembles an app that keeps force closing. Enter that folder and delete all the files/folders inside. repeat for the rest of the broken apps. Reboot your phone and it should work fine now.
I am asking that all/most rom developers to add another button on the "force close" "report" notification labeled "fix" that deletes the files from the apps data folder.
Someone correct me if I'm wrong but isn't this just the same thing as going to settings-apps and then clearing data for that app?

ooooorrrr you could goto menu>settings>applications>find the app force closing and click clear data and achieve the same thing a lot easier...
rom developers dont have the ability to add buttons to those windows... those reports goto google or samsung...

I just enable journaling and what is this?
First off, sorry about the misplaced post.
I know it does the same thing, but if you are stuck at a force-close loop and your launcher app will not load, not allowing you to access the app management page; you see the dilemma.

i believe this could be because journaling is disabled. After you get your phone set up the way you want it, make a backup. Then restore the backup and you have journaling enabled. Or at the very least, if you get stuck at a force close loop, you will still have a backup to restore and not have to spend hours setting up all your apps etc.
just sayin'
Can also use JournalingOn.zip to instantly enable journaling.. but always having a bckup on hand is a good thing

Its because you have to click the second link in the email, log in on your phone when the site loads, then finally log into the app. Its running right now for me on synergy.

Maybe try restarting the phone. It failed on me a few times once I got logged in and I just restarted it. Try killing it with the task killer and going back in maybe; it should be working perfect now. Last tip: maybe try it without wifi (mine was on) and with wifi.

You have to use root explorer or adb and push it inside system/app. You don't install it you'll just keep getting errors. After you push it just reboot.
Edit: If you push it and it still doesn't work maybe your rom is missing some elements that it needs for hub to work. It won't work on sense 1.0 roms, just 2.1 and 3.0 sense.
gotcha thanks...
copied and pasted with file explorer... still a no go

What rom are you running? You'll need root permissions to actually push that I don't know if file explorer would work.
im running azrael x atm......
just installed root explorer and giving it a go... i bet it was because i was dumb and didnt mount as R/W

I downloaded TweetCaster on my tab it won't let me log in. Anyone having this problem? Any help will be appreciated. Thanks
I did have the exact same problem. Though eventually it did start working. Can't remember if I did anything special or just waited.
But I do remember the app really slowed my tablet down a lot, even when it wasn't running (but probably had a service doing background updates).
I didn't like the app. I use TweetComb now, doesn't wreck my performance like TweetCaster did.
Thank you Ravinmagi, did try the TweetComb, but it Force close. Did you experience this? Anyone? Thanks again!

You jinxed me! It was working perfectly for a couple weeks. Then just now I opened it up, it force closed.
I opened it again, I was redirected to the Twitter.com website and requested to authorize the Tweetcomb app (don't remember having to do this before).
Now it's working again, but all my settings got wiped. Hmm. Wonder if Twitter did something to require the app to authorize and that was unexpected and caused it to crash? *shrug*
You need to go into your settings and make sure your time zone is set correctly. Then try to lot in again.
Will try doing this also, hope it works. Thanks
@Ravingmagi... Sorry about that, hope it works! I'm still working on it...
Hello guys I have a strange question:
a friend has the problem that sometimes he unlocks his phone, some apps are shown instead of the honescreen. He says he leaves the app via the back button, we could exclude that the apps start in the pocket. Also he shuts his phone off very rarely (right word?!? means not often).
Maybe you can help?
Thanks and Greets

He says its most of the times "contacts" or similar. so important and not ad-based. I think I will tell him to download an antivirus program to check his phone and something like sdmaid.
I mean if he doesnt start the app by himself, the app either has to start by itself or by another app right?
And if nothing helps could we really say that its caused by the software and tell him to do a factory reset or restore the system?
