Hi all,
Seems like this problem is never reported so far.
I have encountered Arc startup in Safe mode few times (since i use it 3 weeks so far). It happened randomly, sometime after i reboot the system, sometimes after I finish charging the battery (in poweroff) then turn it on.
After the Arc enter safe mode, even i reboot it, all my installed widgets (beautiful widget, switchpro widget and etc) are gone to invisible (they are still on the screen, just cannot see, because i could not place anything to those location). Only those widgets (music player, media shortcut, facebook and etc) that original come with the phone are still visible.
Only after i uninstalled those apps then the invisible widgets are gone. I have to install them back.
Why the phone enter to safe mode at first place?
Anyone has the same problem like this? Any better way to fix this problem?
TIA
More than 2 weeks with ARC, never got this kind of issue :$

Thanks for reply,but what did you mean by "clearing se home screen data"?
Go to settings>applications>manage applications>all>SE home and then press clear data.
This will remove its settings and bring the home screen to default. Meaning it will remove all your widgets

Has anyone else noticed after the recent adw updates when going back from menu or an app it seems to have rebooted itself and has to reload icons and widgets which takes a bit sometimes?
Yep. All adw launchers do that. There is an option in the settings to have it persist. But you will lose auto rotate in the hone screen

Noticed it too. Seems like a new thing.
I always check out peoples comments when I get an update available notification. This one seemed to be a few issues so have left it til they sort it out and do a new update. They come out pretty regularly so hopefully you will get sorted soon. Have you emailed them or commented on the app's wall?
are you using any theme? i used to have that problem when i was using sense theme.
Can´t find how to turn auto rotate of the the screen of, anyone can help??

1.1.3 came out today.. (I think it was today..)... Lets see if it's any more stable.. I had virtually no problems with it prior to 1.1.0.. now it's a nightmare!
Anybody else find it annoying that they replaced the "Notifications" option when you press the menu key with "Edit"? Cause I have the notifications bar hidden and now I have to open some random app to get the notification bar... (And no, I dont want to use the slide up/down gestures....)
Yea, mine crashes often
Mine has became laggy when scrolling through home page after the update!
Same experience here.....
After disabled scroll cache in settings, my home screen scrolling speed back to normal again. Finally solved this problem which has been troubling me for days.

Is it just me or whenever I turn on this phone the widget has a problem loading unless I manually do it, is this happing for you guys? Try it put the YouTube widget on your launcher and reboot.

Yes, mine does the same thing.
Ditto, it's just my widgets way of reminding me YouTube is more importanat than work.
When I slide out the keyboard at the home screen after having installed the Froyo release (didn't reflash - just straight install, most of it has been wonderful), it takes about 20 seconds for the icons to reappear. In the meantime, TW seems to have crashed. If I tap the apps icon, it noodles around for about 10 seconds before display the apps.
When I close the keyboard, same mess. If I continuously open and close the slider, it gets much faster, but is anyone else experiencing this? I cleared TW storage, and while it sped up almost instantly, as soon as I added my icons back (almost no widgets), it's back to crazy slowness.
This did NOT happen with DI28 and earlier. I'm running EB13 stock, non-root.
try doing the horizontal screen calibration tool under display settings, but with your phone upside down instead. Just hang the bottom part slightly off the edge of a table and tap calibrate with the screen facing down. It might help

I tried that earlier today - no help.
No lag at all for me. I used the exe. You have any widgets that might be causing the problem. Mine is instant.

Anyone have any fixes? It's dramaticaly slowed down my use of the phone. TW literally crashes every time I pull out the keyboard. I have to open an app first before I switch, and homescree google searches are now pointless.

DING DING DING. I think you got it. In my case it seems to be the weatherbug widget. When I delete the widget, the icons reappear almost instantly.
Who still uses TW? Honestly

First of all, it doesnt matter. Second of all, TW is alot nicer after update
Sent from my never been rooted, stock Froyo Epic.
Wiped with the EXE. Worked fine for a while, but after adding 8 icons (no widgets), it does the same thing again. I don't think I've installed anything that runs with background services, so I have no idea what the problem is... no problems when I use ADW, but I'd rather not hog an extra 26MB of RAM...
I'm afraid I jumped the gun on declaring mine cured. When first rotating after closing an app, the delay is still there, but then subsequent rotations are immediate . . . until I run the next app. It is faster without the widget, but not cured.
Download terminal emulator from the market. Search the forums for Epic screen lag rotation and you will find an easy fix for your screen lag issues.

@Mike, I have no accelerometer-based rotation lag. Accelerometer-based switching is instantaneous. Only when I pull out the keyboard does TW take forever. Can you please confirm which problem the fix addresses? Thanks.
Folks, I posted a poll. I want to see how bad this problem is. For the record, I have the Google Search widget, and 16 icons (3 of them folders) on my main screen. 2 other icons on side screens, no widgets.
That worked for me!
Minor update: I removed EVERY icon on my screen, and it's now switching instantly. It doesn't seem to like folders at all. I'm slowly adding icons to see where the tipping point is... I had about 20 icons in one folder, perhaps it didn't like that. Annoying, because TW 2.5 worked perfectly in that regard.
Even more updates: Touchwiz *hates* the Angry Birds icons. It's causing a nightmare of a switching delay as soon as I add the icons. Should I just switch to ADW or LauncherPro? Any particular pros/cons to each one?
i get a lag when i go to landscape when im texting
the upside down trick worked for me

Soft buttons (menu, back, home) and status bar keeps crashing. Is there a way to manually start it up besides rebooting the nook?
Sent from my NookColor using XDA Premium App
There's an app on the market, called Notification Restart that is supposed to handle that.
https://market.android.com/details?id=com.tenthstone.notification&feature=search_result
I've also found that if the statusbar FCs on you - it does restart itself if you just rotate the device so it draws between landscape/portrait - most of the time.
Thanks!

Update: unfortunately the application does not work and neither does the orientation change. Is rebooting the only way? It happens every couple of days and is a bit irritating... thanks
Sent from my NookColor using XDA Premium App
I don't know of any other way to get the soft-buttons / noti-bar to restart. Not sure why it crashes - I can only assume it's because of the soft-buttons (since noti-bar is such a basic thing). I know of no other way.
You *could* try and install the Home Switcher app - and another home/launcher. Maybe toggling between ADW and some other launcher, then back to ADW might bring it back alive again.
Since rebooting takes no time at all, I've never bothered with that if I have to reboot.
Check with rom manager to fix force close

After using apps (no specific one) and hitting the home button to go back to the home screen, my background is blank then after a second or 2 all my icons appear. Anyone else have this happen? It seems to have started yesterday or day before. Just wondering what could cause it. I know it does it when I clear memory under "Task Manager>RAM". But this seems to be happening more and more.
Edit: I noticed that the screen will black out with my led blue and will not come on till I do a battery pull. This has happened about 3-4 times so far. Any ideas......anyone.....anyone

What's your current setup? Stock/Rooted? What tweaks/mods have you done? What apps do you have installed?

yes, stock rooted, note 2 hidden features, xposed installer, wanam xposed, flash gordon, notifyclean, xquick settings, 5x4 launcher, isis root bypass, pen window manager, titanium backup, sqlite, with other basic and stock apps, some apps are frozen like amazon and verizon bloat. I'm using a couple of Gunthermics inverted themes to google play, mms and maps as well.
Could be any one of those mods, my friend. I know it'll be a pain but can you disable most if not all? Start with the 5x4 launcher, then Wanam
