Hi.
When I try to dial a number and it hangs up my phone starts to lag like crazy. Someones calls me back and I can't even answer. I'm using official 2.2 with performance fix.
Thanks in advance.

Can you please explain further and more clearly, not completely sure what your issue is.
Are you saying when you call someone and they don't answer, they call you back and your dialer is lagging to the point you can't answer the call?

Thanks for answering. Yes, exactly as you described but not only that.
lets assume that you are my friend and i dial your number and you don't pick up. if i try to call you again it's almost impossible. The phone reminds me of an old windows 98 PC with a ton of crap loading in start-up and once you try to open 2-3 apps nothing moves. The problem seems to be hogging my CPU. Is there a CPU/memory monitor that i can see what happens when i use the dialer?

It's either your home launcher or a rouge app. Some troubleshooting steps but no answers
1. Try using Free Advanced Task Manager to see what Applications are running on your device at any given time. Uninstall one at a time to find rouge app.
2. Restart your home launcher (i.e. ADW EX would be home > menu > ADWSettings > Restart ADW
If restarting Launcher does it, than you probably just need to clear data (make a backup first) under ADW (or whatever launcher) Application Info.
ALso, worth a shot would be to Wipe Dalvik cache under the Recovery boot option. (power on with Vol up + Vol down). Wiping Dalvik does not delete user data nor remove any programs. simply rebuilds Android real time compiler upon first reboot (will take a while to boot one time).
Another idea is to run aLogCat, causing error to occur and than sift through your error log.

Launcher Pro is by far my favorite launcher application but I have noticed a few bugs with it on my Vibrant lately. I know it's Launcher Pro causing them because my device doesn't duplicate them when running stock TouchWiz or ADW Launcher.
Bug #1 - When activating GPS it causes the entire phone to freeze and sometimes restart.
Bug #2 - Sometimes apps will not launch at all until I reset my device. If I click on a app it closes will open and close within 1 second.
Has anyone else experienced these bugs?
Been using LP for a few weeks now and haven't noticed either of those bus. In fact, LP has given me no problems at all.
I've had LauncherPro installed since the day I purchased my phone in mid-July. Experienced none of these bugs. I don't think it's LP-related on your end.
The dialer also does not connect to an in call dialer. If you get a phone call and exit out of the dialer, you cannot get back to that dialer. When you click your dialer application, it gives you a fresh dialer acting like no one is connected.

If you pull down on the notification bar, and then press on the green phone icon, it will take you back to your call that is already in progress.
I'm using launcher pro and I've also experienced both of the issues mentioned in the OP. I've been using LP almost since day one, so I can't say whether or not they're LP bugs specifically. The app launching issue I've noticed more with Handcent than any other. On the GPS issue, I don't have any of the "fixes" applied, so it's not that. I'm thinking about reloading a completely stock ROM to see if that might fix it.

i like launcher pro, but it makes my vibrant noticeable slower than the tw launcher.
LP since July 15th... absolutely no issues.
what other things have you done to the phone? Rom? Lag Fix? Etc?

I'm still on the stock rom. No lag fixes, gps fixes, etc. It's rooted, but that's about it.

I have also had these happen but just with lp. Since the last update I haven't experienced them again. At least for now.

I don't notice any bugs with LP but I mostly use the stock launcher. Just not a fan of the stock android look...
I do notice one bug in ADW launcher though which I use from time to time and that's the scrolling of the home screens. Sometimes I'll try to flick to the next screen and all it'll do is bounce and stay on the same screen. I had this some problem on the mytouch slide so I know it's not a vibrant issue.
YES! I AM EXPERIENCE CONTINUOUS REBOOTS!
My Epic 2.1.1 rooted with 'one-click' method seemed fine for a day. But once I installed LauncherPro, the device stared to reboot continously every 30sec.
I had to go into recovery mode and wipe/factory reset!
Any ideas?
^ did you try and install a system app? Only way I can see that possible... would have absolutely nothing to do with LP.
My launcher pro is working great. I bought the pro version though, thought I might add that launcher was updated today the 3rd.

Yeah, I am LOVING the new twitter widget.. only going to get better.
I've had no problems with LP, but I have with ADW. When opening the tray it keeps, for the lack of better words rebooting the tray. It will show the zoom in effect like 3-5 times before it loads the tray.
My phone is rebooting every 30sec once again! DAMN!
After the first bout, I re-rooted using one-click method, installed supseruser and titaniumbackup, then proceeded to restore all new app+data...
I stayed away from LP, but I went with ADW.Launcher. As far as system apps, I dont believe I installed anything like this; what would be an example of a system app?
I was good for one day, and then this morning, it seemed fine but the batt was very low. After plugging in the charger.... a few min later, this reboot cycle began!
I am on my 3rd recovery wipe/factory reset now.
Anyone else experience this or have recommendations?
I have a bug where it doesn't size live wallpapers properly when changing to landscape mode and the keeps the off size when rotating back to portrait. A dealbreaker for me since I love my lw's

Tried to search this topic and found a bunch of old posts from 2010 that required me to rewright some code in "manifest" but Im sceptical to try.
Can some help me lock my phone app in the portrait mode? It seems I'm always chasing the damn end button after a call.
I'm using Streakdroid 1.9.1. & Estrongs file explorer.

Have you tried using the force portrait mode in the orientation control app? you can get it from snappz or blackmart I believe...
So far I have found apps that force orientation all the time! I want it only for the phone.
Sent from my Dell Streak using XDA App
You can go another way:
1) flash the portrait zip from here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1084850 and uncheck "Auto-rotate screen". Now by default all applications will stay in portrait.
2) then install the Smart Rotator from Market (https://market.android.com/details?id=net.xdevelop.rotator_t&feature=search_result) and select all applications you want to be able to autorotate.
Im interested; however, how do I un-flash the zip should I decide I hate it?

Besides, the only thing the zip does (together with Autoritation unckecked): it prevents autorotation.
And if you want any application to be able to rotate, you just tell your wish to Smart Rotator, that`s all.
that's pretty nifty! might try that workaround myself thanks.
If you only want your home screen in portrait (not lockscreen) then you can use LauncherPro and turn off the auto-rotate settings for LP when your screen is in portrait. The rest of your apps will still follow the Streak's setting for auto-rotate.
Had the same problem and since I didn't want to mess anything up by flashing, I bought an app called Orientatiom switch. Lets you lock the screen in portrait or landscape. Made a thread about it here since I was so excited to see it actually work :-D

Thanks for the tip, works great here with force protait mode and the app is actually called "orientation control"

I almost forgot about this thread. I ended up using an app called Smart Rotator from the Market. It allows you to lock the streak into Landscape (...or whatever your phone uses for default) and elect which other programs you want to release from the landscape lock.
Now I don't have to chase the end button when I take the phone from my ear (in landscape mode while the phone is simultaneously turning the screen back on) and try to hit the end key while it is trying to switch to portrait. This seems to be the natural way my calls ended up. The phone is trying to do all those things and the whole process ends up with me cussing the phonewhioe trying to hit the damned end button.
Now, No matter what I'm doing...the screen is on Landscape, Period. Incidently, so are the contacts. They are linked to the phone so if you lock one, you are inadvertantly locking the other.

note: since I flashed this .zip I had 3 reboots and 2 complete shutdown of my Streak
@AIR-WIZZ
Thanks for the tip about Smart Rotator. Working great on phone/dialer app. Chasing that end button was my biggest source of FC's!

Hi !
So I have this problem when I open my contacts and when I receive a call or if I'm calling someone, the phone starts to block. Like everything just blocks and stays like that for like 30 seconds or even more.
I can't hang up on my calls or do anything after that
I tried on so many forums and nobody knew what the problem is. Please help me, how can I solve this ?
By block you mean freeze? becomes unusable?
Which rom are you on?

Exactly
And I may sound reaaaallyyy stupid right now lol, but I don't understand your last question or I just don't know what do you mean and how I'm supposed to know that
Go to Settings, then About Phone & perform a software update if available, if there isnt one available may i ask how many contacts you have? ive seen problems like this on my old Xperia Play, the reason was because i had around 2100 contacts.
This may sound stupid but have you restarted your phone? and if you have, keep hold of the home button, press the icon on the bottom left, then find the RAM tab & press Clear Memory.

I updated my software last night and I have around 80 contacts so that is not the problem i guess.
I restarted it, a tried a reset of phone few times and cleared memory too. I really can't figure it out. Sometimes when I open my contacts it just goes back to my homepage.
it seems to me a factory reset & ota update wont hack it.
So i suggest you go onto Sam Mobile or Samsung Updates & find the right firmware for your phone with the right network & flash it using odin.

Hi Guys!
New to android after years with my iphone, and I'm loving it!
However, everytime I try to open a link etc I get a box that says "complete action using" and a list of apps I can open it with.
For example, a youtube link in the browser will ask me if I want to make the youtube app the default action.
I click ALWAYS, but then the next link I click on asks me the same message again. No matter what I do, I can not get my phone to set any defaults.
It's getting very frustrating making extra button presses to open every file and/or link on my phone.
Anyone else have this happen?
If I go to the task manager, I can see the defaults I want are in fact there, and I can clear them and start over but no matter what I do the phone just won't use them.
I'm using the stock launcher, and having the same problems with Nova.
Thanks for your advice!
Hi,
Out of interest, did you have this issue before installing Nova?

to be honest, I'm not 100 percent sure because I'm so new to this phone.
Do you recommend me uninstalling Nova? If thats what it takes to fix it, then I don't need Nova that badly!
edit: ok I removed Nova and the problem still exists
Am I the only one with this problem?
Hi,
Something to test/try but pick an app that you don't mind losing your settings or data for, e.g YouTube.
Go into Settings, General (tab), Application manager, All (tab), and find an app you've already set to be default (but it keeps asking). Go into the app and clear cache and data. Now open a link or whatever, get asked the 'default' question etc and repeat to see if that cures it.
If not we might look to clear the main cache next (will explain). Don't be put off Android or the N3 with this - both are fabulous and worst case it might just be necessary to backup your stuff and factory wipe/reset.

well, the solution for me was to factory wipe, bummer! problem fixed though.
If this happens again, I hope to find a better solution!
Thanks for your help Jonty
You could have tried clearing the defaults for the app first in settings/general/applications. (clearing the cache and data does not clear the defaults, that button is a bit lower.)

Hello,
I have cleared my main cache and still every single time I click on (for example) a name on the imdb.com website it asks me to choose and app. I have selected the App multiple times and ALWAYS hit "Always" when I choose it. Can I get help on backing up my data and then resetting my phone and then putting data, contacts, photos, etc back onto my phone.
Thank you,

Hey everyone, I'm not sure what's going on but every time I hit the options button (the one with the three dots) the app I'm using force closes. Its not the one at the bottom but within the app itself. I tried to send an email and when trying to go to the options to forward etc it crashes and force closes every time. I have downloaded some things but I'm not sure if xposed installer and Wakelock terminator have anything to do with it but I'm about to factory reset my phone unless someone could shed some light on the issue.
Thanks!

Any apps or modifications that you have on your phone may be messing with it. I don't know all of the specifics but I know that after I got xposed a while ago, my lock button suddenly stopped working, and then continued after I uninstalled all of the modifications and xposed. I would only use a factory reset as a failsafe plan.

I'd just titanium backup and factory reset. Or if on a OTA and don't have root, FXZ back to your firmware using keep data or universal.

Reboot your device into safe mode. If it runs fine then you have a rogue app, but if you are experiencing the same problems then do a factory reset.
Safe Mode:
Code:
Power button > Press and hold Power Off > Ok
