Which keyboard are you using? I have had problems using Swype in the Google Search app and I can only use the Swype keyboard in Quickoffice. I mainly use Swiftkey but that has become inconsistent.
The area around the capacitative buttons is sensitive to touch. If you by accident touch in that area the phone becomes touch insensitive....

The screen becomes unresponsive if you touch the area left to the menu button or right to the search button. In landscape mode the area that is now under the menu button is often accidentally touched by myself and the entire screen is unresponsive. Maybe if they wouldn't had disabled multi finger touch it wouldn't be a problem.

Yeah, there have been issues quite a bit but it always seems someone is using a different launcher. Maybe there needs to be some updates to these launchers to run atop of Blur. Another I noticed is that when I download a 3rd party launcher it automatically uses that launcher as default and when i go into settings I can't remove the Default for it so that might have something to do with it. Have you also done a reboot lately? After a reboot I notice that my phone decides to check the "Stay Awake" option under Applications>Development by itself. So maybe there something to that as well.

Weird, it was doing it before I rooted and after. And I must have tried a dozen different launcher apps and not once has it asked me to change the default. Of course, I only had one installed at a time. Do you just have LP installed or do you have others?

I have others installed but I don't really mess with em. I only have em while experimenting with what launcher I wanted. But I dabble with em on occasion. But if you hit the home key and haven't picked a default it should give u the option to pick your launcher and just under the launchers is a box that says" set as default"

Yes, I'm aware of that but if you only had one 3rd party launcher installed it won't ask to set it to default. If you want you can uninstall all of your launchers til you're back to Blur and then just download one of them and then hit Home and it will automatically go to the new launcher.
You really don't have to but it does happen that way which tells me that Blur (and all the settings it holds prominence over) is easily manipulated by a different launcher. Have you noticed you can still use all the MotoBlur widgets even while using LP? Can't do that on an HTC Sense phone.

I friend of mine has the Captivate, and when they edit the home screen, there is an option to make any particular screen the default without having to move them around to certain orders.
Anybody know what she may have loaded that gives that option?

It's not LauncherPro (unless there is some setting in there that I can't find), cause her home screen looks just like the default, is edited just like the default with that one difference.
I will check out ADW to see if that is it.
**EDIT** Just tried ADW, and it does not do what I was talking about in my original post, unless it also has some settings somewhere that I just can't find.

I just bought the widget locker app from the market...BEST 2 DOLLARS EVER SPENT!!! You would not believe the features this app has. Rotary lockscreen, iphone lockscreen, widgets and shortcuts on your lockscreen. And, my favorite part, NO HAPTIC FEEDBACK ON THE SLIDER!!! I would definitly recomend this app
*I attached a screenshot. The second shot has the iphone slider. Third is sense pull-down
I actually just got this app this weekend so im fairly new to it. How'd you get all those different sliders like rotary, iphone, and sense.
Open WidgetLocker settings then check under 'Look & Feel' > 'Sliders & Layout'.

Cool thanks!
I like the app but the couldn't get the security pattern to work with it. It was either a double lockscreen with a pattern, or no pattern at all. If they had that working I'd buy it again
Meh. Its ok. Not quite the best two bucks I ever spent. Its a little slow starting and doesn't actually replace the stock lock screen so much as cover over it. When u wake the phone u see a flash of the stock slider before widget locker takes over. Petty, but that annoys me. Using unlock patterns with it is also flakey. I do like the app, but in its current state its more the quality of a free app. Hopefully they continue to dev and provide some updates. If not, I don't figure ill be using it long.
That about sums it up. Neat app, needs work. If you have 2 bucks to spare, give it a try.

Hmmm, to bad. The settings are really touchy and you definitly dont have it right if your seeing the stock lockscreen when you wake the phone. To bad people put negative feedback out there when they dont even know how it works, see it all the time with apps in the market

I get same thing, the app can't open itself fast enough all the time to cover up the default lock screen. It is a cool app but not worth 2 dollars when there are so many apps out there that offer more for less.
No free app I know of let's you customize sliders and put widgets and shortcuts on the lock screen. You can bypass the 5 second transition from stock lock screen to widget locker in the settings.
Not meaning to sound negative. It is a cool app. I just expect a paid app to be a bit more refined. Less buggy, let's say. I will continue using and playing with it for a while.

some reboots when unlocking, and sometimes the stock lock screen appears before widget locker. I have changed the settings both using root bypass and home helper. Both of those options alleviate the issue, but do not fix it entirely.
Hey guys, I found a nasty little bug that has made my epic unusable. Basically if you have all your home screen pages filled up and decide to create a shortcut of an app (in this case it was dolphin browser) from inside the app, Touch Wiz will crash no matter how many time you reboot the phone. All other programs work just fine, however touchwiz will without fail crash. I am trying to find a way around this without reflashing but it looks like that is my only option. Be warned everyone EB13 is not ready for prime time.
Edit: Found a quick work around, just install launcher pro from the market and hit the home button and switch your launcher to launcher pro. Now can anyone tell me how to switch back?
So why not use something other than tw? Why would you load up that many icons on 7 pages? Home Switcher from market...

Yes you can add screens to launcherpro by hitting (from launcherpro) menu>preferences>homescreen settngs. To fix touchwiz, hit menu>settings>applications>all, scroll down to TWlauncher cick it, and clear everything.

I would really urge you to play around with Launcher Pro for a while. Try the different settings and see what they all do. I can't imagine using Touchwiz now. I love the way launcherpro both looks and works.

TW is for folk who want their phone to feel more iOSish, and if that's what they want, meh. More power to 'em.
I used LP for a long time, but am giving Go Launcher a whirl these days. I kinda like it even more, but...
Ugh, Launcherpro has THE BEST agenda widget on Android. No free widget I've tried even comes close. Really frustrating.

Meh - LP is pretty good but I suspect most people don't use most of the options, making it kind-of big. I haven't found a better option though. It's pretty darn good.
I use LauncherPro, and I have long since deleted both TouchWiz an the stock launcher from the /system/apps/ folder. It frees up a bit of space.

Using the app info method works great if you are not rooted.

No sir. You can do this with most of the pre-installed carrier software. I believe the option is "disable". When you see it you'll know what I mean. In fact it was the one thing that made me think that I wouldn't have to root my phone. Then I quickly got annoyed by the T-Mobile startup and shut down sounds. Can someone please tell T-Mobile to leave the standard start up and shut down sequence alone. I mean expect that from Verizon; Have you heard any of their phones start up? They're crazy obnoxious.
Great feature! You can also go to settings-applications-all and do or that way. Just uninstall updates and then you will have the disable button. Thanks for the top all.
