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

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

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.

@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

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 :$
I had this only ones it was on the first day. After clearing se home screen data it all went to normal. Try it maybe it will help

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

I might be the only one that doesn't like the notification bar with the quick access menu and list of recently used apps. I prefer the old version coupled with using widgetsoid instead to have only the settings I want/need, and not take up half the pull-down menu with the recent apps.
Is it possible to revert only the notification bar, or delete the quick access/recent apps options?
Not sure but i love that bar it makes finding the app I use most often ez like wifi tether.

True, but how is it any different than holding down the home button for 2 seconds?
Its really not in any way but i always forget that you can hold down the home button for 2sec but i am constantly reminded where my recent apps are every time i get a text,email or missed call...... Maybe thats just me though i can see how you would not like it.

Yeah I hate that new pull down bar it was a good idea but I'm so use to using the home key that even on a GB ROM I still use the home key

Damn, assuming that no response can only mean that it's impossible. That's a shame, really liked sense beyond this issue.
Anyone use LauncherPro? There appears to be a bug in the newest version which, if you opt to turn off auto rotation on the home screen, then it won't rotate even when u slide they keyboard out. Wondering if anyone else is experiancing this? My temp fix is switching back to the previous version but this is not something I want to continue doing if later versions still have this bug.

Just checked and I've got the same problem. Personally, I prefer to have auto rotation on so itns not really a problem for me. It should definitely be fixed, though.
Sent from my HTC Vision using XDA App
Discovered just now that if you go into menu-> settings->screen and remove the mark at Autorotate it works as intended. Launcher Pro is set to autorotate.
Hope it helps

Currently using launcher products with cm7 and I don't have a problem with the rotation as indicated above.

I'd rather have all my apps, etc auto rotate, but would rather LauncherPro only rotates when I open the keyboard because sometimes I accidently hold it at an angle or something and it gets annoying. Also, when I turn the device and push the camera button it slows it down slightly if it has to rotate first. The latest version of LauncherPro seems to be the only one with this issue.

I also was having this problem with my Motorola Droid and whpsnp's suggestion worked.
Menu -> Settings -> Display - > Auto-rotate screen is unchecked
Menu -> Preferences -> Behavior Settings -> Enable Auto-rotation is checked
This way the screen only rotates when the slider is open.
But then doesn't this stop other apps from auto rotating?

I just checked my Facebook app and it rotates to landscape when the slider is open, so it seems it doesn't affect that functionality. Not sure about other apps
I want other apps to auto rotate when I turn the screen. But I want launcherpro to only rotate when I open the keyboard. The newest launcherpro doesn't do this.

Is there a way some could extract the lockscreen from QQ Launcher or recommend a lockscreen that is very similar to it? I tried to get some off the market but those never override the system lockscreens. I was hoping for a apk or even a zip for one.
Sent from my SPH-D700 using XDA App
I dont know what that lock screen is but i use menu lock which gives you 8 buttons. You pull the button over to open an app that you have assigned. I also use No Lock which is an app that keeps your phone from using its lock. Together it makes it to where the only lock i see is menu lock.
It is the best app i have of the over 100 i now have and the well over 500 i have tried.
Good luck.

Thanks for replying.... I forgot all about No Lock. I think I know how to get the lockscreen that I want.

Yup NoLock is great I use it to text at school and don't want an unlock screen lol
Sent from my SPH-D700
Well I think I spoke to soon. I can't disable the system's lockscreen. Even with No Lock enabled. I downloaded the QQ Launcher just for the lockscreen so that I could use it with Go Launcher. It works sometimes, but Im still getting my old system lockscreen. Its gotta be a way to disable the system lockscreen.
