I tried an app called live home or home live on my rooted x8, since then the auto rotate function has stopped working. Even when typing this it doesn't work. I have since uninstalled the app, rebooted hoping it would come back. Sadly it hasn't. Does anyone know how to get it back ?.
Auto rotation is selected. Stock 2.1 rom

Well, maybe a master reset can do the trick for you, too bad that you will lose all your setings and programs. : (

maybe the app disable it n change the setting for it, try install it again, enable the auto rotatin (hope there is one) n uninstall if u don't need it anymore
I uninstalled it, restarted it then reinstalled the App seems to work now, wonder why it did that.

You might have to factory reset your phone. Back your apps up first using astro or similar. Make sure you've synchronized your contact lost etc too. Then it won't be too painful to set your phone back up.

Randomly when I hit the home buttn I am prompted with the option touchwiz or home. I can pick either on while checking the load default and it still asks again a few min later. What am I missing?

That's a first, never had that happen.
Have you recently installed any User interface programs like ADW launcher or launcher pro?
How about any programs in general.. please be a little more specific.
Welcome to the forums!
It only happens to me when I hold the home botton and bring up the task manager. When I hit the home botton again it prompt me to choose the launcher.

Try getting home switcher from the market and tell it to set touchwiz home as you default. See if that works.
I Will try and load my appbrain list but no to launchers. Just goole stuff and a couple widgets.

I can't post links yet so check out appbrain user: ErlyD I have no launcher apps and I did try that home launcher app recommended. But still have the problem.

Sgs tools and you go to the bottom menu and choose which launcher you want and bam! Launcher is set to default. I'm using 2.2 quantum and confirm it works.

Does my epic have to be rooted? I ran the app and set it yet still get the problem. It randomly asks when I hit home. Each time I set default then select touchwiz.

Download sgs tools from market. Install. Go to bottom menu upgrade stock apps, then choose laucner you want and follow instructions from there, easy fix.

Edit: this only works on rooted phones, I'm sorry if I miss read the problem.
Bottom option is:
.prop editor

I've looked over SGS Tools, over and over again. I do not understand where the option to make this fix is.
Could you give more specific instructions? Thanks!

Same here only .prop editor do we have to be rooted? To use this correctly?

I think I got a fix. I went to manage apps and cleared defaults on touchwiz but also cleared tw data. It sucked cause my icons and everything else I took the time to setup cleared but after rebuilding it seems to be working. Been about an hour now and the menu hasn't popped up.

Sorry guys I must have been way too blazed I swear I read that you guys had the froyo beta and had this problem, as I did have this issue. But it seems some of you are dealing with this on stock, without root and this will only work if you have root.

I believe that this issue is related to the installation of a certain application. As a matter of fact, I uninstalled several applications after going on a few downloading sprees (yeah, I get bored and have money burning a hole in my PayPal account) in hopes of fixing the issue, to no avail.
Otherwise, could it possibly be related to a glitch caused by setting a certain number of icons or widgets on the homescreen, causing the launcher's data to interfere with its default settings?
Either way, I took ErlyD's advice, cleared the data, and will rebuild my homescreens in hopes it won't happen again. Or else I will figure out what causes it.

I would love to follow his advice, but TouchWiz isn't listed in my manage applications list...what the heck!
Actually, none of the stuff that came installed is listed....nascar, amazon, etc.
Where do I find these?
Sent from my SPH-D700 using Tapatalk
Okay...found it via running programs.
Cleared data.
Didn't solve my problem.
Crap.
Sent from my SPH-D700 using Tapatalk
It failed. Sorry for the trouble it lasted longer than before though. I went a few hrs before it popped up. I am going to have to start uninstalling apps to see what happens.

So...my Epic continually asks me to choose my default home program every time I press the home button.
It asks me to either pick HOME or TWLauncher. So I installed DxTop Pro...now I have 3 to pick from everytime!
I tried Home Switcher and Home Manager - neither of them keep the default home screen either.
It doesn't always clear the default. I have tracked it down to when I press and hold the home button down until the task manager comes up. Once those 6 most recent programs pop up...my default home screen is cleared out.
I tried downloading the samsung task manager apk that I found on xda and installing it...didn't solve the problem.
So, I open it up to you all for ideas.
I could hard reset, but I know the moment I finish setting it back up...the new official ROM will come out and I'll have to do it all again!
Sent from my SPH-D700 using Tapatalk
Uh when you choose your homescreen when it gives you the option of the three, do you make sure the check box at the bottom of the popup is checked off...?

Just checking lol. Which launcher are you trying to run as default and which ROM/Kernel/etc you running?

Sgs tools from the market will fix this.

Edit: this does require root, sorry not for stock issues.
I'm on the stock Epic ROM from Sprint. Never rooted.
I was running the default TouchWiz, but once this began I started using DxTop Pro to see if it would correct the issue...it did not.
I'm still using DxTop Pro because I liked it better.

Did you ever get a fix? I hve same problem. Since I got my epic. On 11/17 touchwiz crashed rebooted and it started. I run stock and have never even rooted. I have done nothing to this device. I'm on appbrain user ErlyD if you want to see my app list. Also tried home switcher and sgs tools (which by the way the menus last options are .prop editor, I say this cause I was told to select an option at the bottom of sgs that would fix it. An option I don't have.)
Anything would help. Starting to not like this. Its happening to often. No matter what I select home or tw and set to default. It will eventually pop up again. As for task managers I fin my self using only samsungs version to avoid any issues from popping up.

There is a bug/feature that Samsung built into their phone (perhaps all THEIR Android phones) and this may explain your issue, in any case it explained at least 2 cases I know of:
http : //dennis2centsworth.blogspot.com/2011/02/auto-rotate-not-working-on-samsung.html
Basically do not lock orientation with anything other than the Samsung's "orientation Lock"...
Ive had the same market problem that many have had. Apps wont dowload and all i get is the orange triangle. After swearing at this phone for a few weeks now, and trying everything I could think of and searching forums until my head hurt, I uninstalled the market update and went back to the old version. After trying to download an app, the same thing happened, but now it says "download paused, waiting for wifi". I did notice last week when I was at a hotel that it worked as long as I was on a wifi connection. So my question is this - is there a setting or something that we all have set wrong, or did the new update take it upon itself to only let us use the market when on wifi?

This is a setting issue. Go into settings and look through the battery settings to find the appropriate check box to disable this.
