Occasionally, when opening an app, the app only displays on the screen for a fraction of a second, then disappears. It just kinda blinks on then off...
I can't figure out what is causing it to do this. It has happened to me with K-9, Facebook, Twitter, Maps...pretty much any app. Sometimes I try to open facebook, and it won't open, but twitter will....Some of the time you can get the program to open if you go home, then open and close the app drawer.....
Anyone else with a similar problem? I have reset the phone twice and it is still doing this...Other than this occasional problem, I love the Vibrant!
Do you have an app killer or startup controller? Mine did the same thing, and I quickly realized I was killing a service that the apps I was launching depended on.

^ pretty much exactly what I was going to post. What have you installed on your phone like this?
Mine has done this a few times, usually after an app force closes. For 30 seconds or so after if I try to reopen that app it will just shut off again, then after a bit, it's fine.
It's happened with the web browser more than once, and a couple other apps.
I get the same exact problem with no real reason. Whenever it happens I just go into the settings from the menu button. Settings opens fine and once I close it ever other app opens correctly again.

That's what I thought at first.. I wiped the phone and it did it even after when I had no task or app killers installed...

Yes, that seems to help mine too...
Did you erase unneeded apps? There is a list around here somewhere of apps that can be safely deleted, without violating dependencies. I have a stock unit with the lag, the blue tint, etc. . . But I never had this problem without the startup manager.

yes.. I took most of the bloatware off using root manager.
Startup auditor has a list of dependencies for each app that you have installed. Not much good for things that you have already deleted, but maybe the dev site can help? I know I saw a list somewhere of bloat that could be "safely deleted".

The only bloat I deleted was Telenav, so I doubt that's the cause of it.

I've noticed this as well. However, If you hold down your home key, after it does the weird flash, and select the app from the pop up menu, it will open. Weird.

I seriously doubt that this has anything to do with deleting the bloatware apk's...
I haven't removed anything and mine does this as well. Usually after an app freezes or force closes.

I have noticed that after I upgraded to the official 2.2 update and have the phone docked in the car dock, if I get a call or navigation voice kicks in pandora shuts all the way off and when I'm done it stays off. When I had 2.1 when I was done with a call pandora would start playing again. I thought it was the new battery manager, but I turned it to performance mode but it still turns pandora off and it disappears from the notification bar. Any ideas how to fix this?

I did a factory reset and it seems to have fixed the problem

I tried to post a link to my fix at Androidforums, but I don't have the permissions yet. Go there and search for "Froyo Pandora" and you'll find links to the v1.2.1 of Pandora which doesn't have this problem.
seems like pandora has gotten worse in lots of ways. it used to also show up in lock screen =\

I have this weird behaviour, that some app-icons in folder (not widgets) from apps i have moved to sd via settings (not app2sd) disappear after reboot. I have to kill the "Home" task and then they reappear. The apps also still listed as "installed" under settings->applications. Does anyone can confirm this or is my device buggy?
I allready tested different sds to make sure that the sd is not corrupt.
Cheers

i dont have this problem, try restoring/reflashing
Icons are missing is always market cache. Go to settings/applications/mange applications/all tab/market. Then delete cache. then reboot. Always works. sometimes needs a couple times though.

That doesnt work for me. Some icons still not visible in drawer. I can see that after some time, several icons are added but not all. I have to kill the Home task and then all icons are visible. Maybe I try also lauchner pro. I also contacted SE support and they said i should send the phone to repair.. i think its a softwarebug. i really like the phone and dont want to sent it away for a couple of weeks. I also debugged the phone via adb logcat to check if there is maybe a fatal error accessing the sd, but i saw nothing unusual so maybe the se home app is buggy.
hm launcherpro kinda solved the prob. all app icons are generated in the drawer after reboot, but now apps ive placed in home-folders loosing their icons. it seems that mounting the sdcard after reboot takes too long and apps depending on sd having probs. hope its not a faulty hardware. ill do another test with class10 sd

Ever since I flashed froyo on my phone I have had problems with my weather ticker. It hasn't been updating/refreshing like it should. Also when I click the icon on my ticker it no longer opens weather bug anyone know why?
If your running ec07. Try the GPS fix.

Well, It wasn't working when I used EC03, and yesterday I switched to EC07. Still isn't working. I'm hesitant to try the GPS Fix because it's a shot in the dark if it would work and it's going to take a quite a bit of time for me to figure out ADB.
Any other suggestions? :/
Copy and paste GPS. Conf with root explorer in folder that the adb command says in post. Then reboot. Make sure to mount r/w in folder pasting to. (Button on top in root explr)

Ah thank you. I copied the gsp.config over, lets see if it works....
EDIT: Nope, a no go on the weather ticker. I can't even open it.
Are you on a stock ROM or one of the manymodded ROMs? the only reason it wouldn't open would be if someone deleted the app or if your ticker is forever "locked"which I have seen before....
Sent from my SCH-I400 using xda premium
I'm using Nuckins ROM. I don't think the ticker is locked, because I can still open my Text messages via the ticker bar. Just the weather thingymabobber won't come up, and the only way I can refresh it is by manually going into the weather ticker settings and clicking Refresh. It doesn't even seem to refresh automatically every 3 hours, like it is set to do.
I'm not sure if Nuckin's ROM has deleted the app or not, but if it has how can I get it back? ALSO... Before this ROM I was using THIS http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1203597 ROM by pastorbennett and the weather ticker OPENED but wasn't updating with it.
I know at one point on an older flash I was using TI and deleted some essential apps for the entire ticker section without knowing it. They're have very vague names. Reflashing would definitely fix the issue, if that's something you're willing to do.
Reflashing what? I've already experimented with 2 different ROMS. First time I had EC03/pastorbennetts ROM and this time I have EC07/Nuckin's ROM.... problems with both and the weather ticker. However, slightly different problems. With EC03 I could open the weatherbug app by clicking on the weather icon, but I couldn't refresh it not even manually. This time, with EC07 I can refresh it manually but that's about it. I can't open the Weatherbug app and I don't think it's refreshing on its own either. (Although it could be, I'm just having a hard time telling since I can't open the APP and see what time it updated.)
Plus, I've reflashed both of those more than once with the same issue.
EDIT: Unless you mean to reflash stock, then flash the ROM?
EDIT2: I think I've already reflashed stop after this anyway....
EDIT3: Well, I tried to manually go into my applications and open Weatherbug and it's giving a Force Close Error. >.< I uninstalled it, and reinstalled it, same issue.
Best advice I could give is to go into <2e> then open CwM (red seems to work nicely) wipe cache wipe data factory reset then reflash the EC07_clean! This ROM fixed most problems for me and its a simple quick flash. Then you can update to whatever ROM you've been wanting to use. The entire ticker-stuffs has worked flawlessly for me on the EC07 clean so I recommend that. It was a problem I was having too since rooting my i400.
Okay so now that my phone is unbricked, haha... I'm having my lovely WB ticker problem again. Except this time, the program opens when I click the ticker BUT I can't refresh it manually with the refresh icon. Any idea why or how it can be fixed? lol
Funny, I just started having the problem where the ticker icon doesn't open the app.

Think I deleted something... -.- I'll reflash later...
I thought I fixed it, but alas, I did not. >.< WB stop haunting meeeeee.
Anyone have any other suggestions? I assume thee is no way to have the ticker use another app either?
I can very easily, (well... Pretty easily, haha.... ) make the ticker use another app, haha...
I use my phone a lot in the car (GPS, music and phone calls), so I always keep the original apk's files from the Nexus One Car Home handy. The app is still listed in the Play Store, but it won't install in newer devices.
Just install both files as regular apps, reboot and you are set to go. I always liked this app for its simplicity. Enjoy!
Also, I will recommend getting some NFC tags and Trigger (https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.jwsoft.nfcactionlauncher), so you can launch the app automatically in your car. Trigger is a very easy to use, but if you want more control, get Tasker instead.
I really like the look of it too, but it kept reopening after I closed the app.
Try wiping Dalvik and cache, this happened to me one time and that fixed the problem.
I hope thus helps.

Nice one thanks, don't like the speedo, compass rubbish all the other apps have and the only other solutions to get the proper one on needed root.
Hah, no way. Cool thanks for posting this. I might have to give this a go.
Like @b1g1an said, to get proper car dock mode (i.e. landscape on the home launcher) you gotta have root, that's why I made this app: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.warner.carmode
but this Nexus One app is a nice optional solution.

Ultimate Rotation Control doesn't need root to rotate the home screen so might be worth a look how they do it, you'll get a lot more takers of yours if you can lose the root reliance.

Thanks for showing me this. Definitely worth noting this down.
When I use car mode I get the notification in the status bar which is fine but it also flashes the notification light which is useless and hides whether I have any "real" notifications.
Didn't have this issue on other phones I used it on previously. Any ideas how I can stop the light flashing just for this app?
