Updating to Froyo via Kies? Best procedure?

Ok, I see that froyo is finally available for o2 uk, so going to make the change tomorrow.
Will it completely reset my phone back to default? Just concerned I will lose contacts and photos etc. I know kies can backup contacts, but does it work?
Will I lose the installed apps?
After the phone has updated, would I be best resetting back to factory defaults?
If so how do you factory reset?
I just want to get the performance from my phone. And am happy starting back from scratch (as long as I don't lose my contacts)
All advice is welcome!

TouchWiz won't stay on by default!

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?
Sent from my SPH-D700 using XDA App
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.

I'm having this same issue!
I tried Home Switcher and Home Manager...same exact symptoms.

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?
Sent from my SPH-D700 using XDA App
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.
Sent from my SPH-D700 using XDA App
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.

Will NOT Keep Defaults for Home Button

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...?

Of course. Still no dice.

Just checking lol. Which launcher are you trying to run as default and which ROM/Kernel/etc you running?
Sent from my Epic 4G using XDA app
Sgs tools from the market will fix this.
Sent from my SPH-D700 using XDA App
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.
Sent from my SPH-D700 using Tapatalk
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.

Check my post on another topic I had started about this. I might have found fix.

Did not work. I have started removing apps to see what might have caused it. Doing things slowly.

[Q] Installed adrynalynn's version of dl30 and have an issue

I use Mybackup pro to bring all my apps and contacts back in. I just installed adrynalynn's dl30 and had no flaws with that. I try use Mybackup and it says that "Could not get back up set" I really love this dl30 I hope someone can help me figure this out. Everything else work great. The last thing is can I still use DJ05 themes with the theme fix?

Titanium works fine, but you have to be aware of the apps that should not be restored from a 2.1 build to a 2.2.
The only themes you can use are ones that are made for DL30.

I understand the app thing. Ive already redownloaded my apps, but my contacts and sms are on the data end of it and that part wont work either. This program has worked for every other upgrade ive done. Im thinking there might be a setting or something I missed during boot.
Sent from my SCH-I500 using XDA App
This happened to me too could & I wonder if it has anything to do with voodoo? I think I did my backup before I undid the lagfix prior to flashing dl30. I even did a full wipe of everything twice before flashing too. Didn't have this problem going from di01 to dl09 nonvoodoo.

No voodoo. That voodoo is pita and my phone runs great so I never needed it.

Market probs after 602. Found the prob, need solution

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.
