Hi, can anyone tell me whats going on with my stock dialer. It stopped working 2 days ago out of the blue. I have not rooted. Also when I go into the applications and look up dialer everything is zeros. It's almost like the whole thing got wiped. When I try to open the shortcut on bottom of phone in home screen, it trys to open then immediately closes. When I try to get to it through the contacts shortcut, it does the same thing. Ive downloaded and am using Touchpal Dialer. It's ok, but I locked the stock better. Thanks for any help.

Mine just did this last week too out of the blue. I could get into the contacts app but as soon as I hit dialer it would close. I tried clearing cache and data for the dialer app and nothing helped other than a data reset.
Count me on this little issue.
Stock Droid X running latest firmware from Verizon.
Good news is that there are a few free dialers you can install so that you can use your phone...
Still, I'd love to find out what's up with this.

So, when i turn on the phone, the G-sensor/Gyrator are working pretty well. But when i make a phone call or answer one there's something going on afterwards. When i open an application and rotate the phone to landscape, the app automatically is closed and i'm stuck to the home screen (when restarted everything is back to normal till the next call). This is really annoing when browsing the net. Any suggestions?

do not use GSEN
I have experienced a similar problem with SMS. I currently have Gyrator installed.
When i open a SMS and rotate the phone to landscape and try to use the keyboard, the app automatically closes and i'm stuck in the home screen.
I don't experience any other problems with other apps, just SMS & Email
This is really starting to annoy me.
I have checked WIKI which quotes
Simple enough, you could disable all rotation, then just use the "Windows Title" provided by Gyrator and select SMS and email tab (or others apps you wanted to rotate), add event and enable, then go rock with your Landscape full qwerty when typing SMS and emails.

Hi,
I have exactly the same issue.
WWE HD device.
gyrator2
after reset everything back to normal....
I stopped using Gyrator because I also got infrequent problems which seemed to be caused by this.
I now use AEB Plus with double press on the OK button to rotate the screen. I personally find this the simple way to rotate as I don't often need the rotate.
I disabled all rotation in Gyrator.
Then I only enabled the rotation for sms/mms, mail, tomtom, and just a few others.
Set the polling rate to 2 seconds.
It works oke now, except for the incoming call problem.
Thanks for the infos, i tried reinstalling the gyrator, made a phone call and everything was normal.

I rebooted the device and everyhting was oke (with rotating).
I made a call

Mine is the same.
Exceed: You havn't found anything that could help us out here?
No, mate, it just happend after i reinstalled the app. I don't know how and why.
Don't know what I did, but havn't had the problem for almost a whole day now...
Will update when I know more details.
Solved;
It was the 'darklord' coloured icons top bar cab file that caused the rotate to loose its focus.
I removed it and it worked.
Pitty that I don't see the percentages of the battery live not anymore...
with regards.
This is madly weird. I've been flashing roms on HTC phones for years and what I have just found with my HTC HD is after flashing to a new ROM is that I can not go back to the home screen with either the hardware button or the soft home button in the start menu. It just will not have it. The phone works but weirdly with no home screen. The start menu works as does to the call hardware button to take me to the phone dialer etc. Just no ability ot get to the homescreen.... only time i have ever seen it is after restart, but then homescreen will hang and when I navigate away from it, ie with start or call button I can not get back and screen refreshes are bad.
The only way i seem to be able to use my phone any more is not have manila of any flavour running?
Weird, any thoughts. Sorry for the ramble - I have done loads of searches to try and sort this but to no avail.
FIXED!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Very weird, FIXED...
FIXED by deleting app data on memory card. Found this out by accident as it worked without mem card in phone. WEIRD.
app data?
what do you mean by "app data on memory card"?
uhm... the application data folder?

This is a well known problem with 23xxx ROMs. Deleting the application data folder solves a number of problems. Check out Energy's thread for more info.
I'm so confused... i was using swype.. it just popped out of nowhere
asked me if i wanted to use it, so i said yes because i really do want swype.. i restarted my phone later that day and now it's gone and i have no idea how to get it back??
If someone could help me out i'd be very happy
It should still be an option in your menu. Open any program that uses the keyboard, then press just to the right of the keyboard icon at the bottom of the screen. The menu will open, and you can select Swype from there.

There's also programs out there to ensure swype remains the default keyboard after a soft reset. Can't remember which one i used but this seems to do the trick:

Hi,
I have an odd issue. I got a Legend as a loaner for my samsung SGS i9000m (don't get it...).
Anyhow the phone died from low battery last night and now when I turn it on I get the lockscreen fine (screen in full colour etc etc) but when I unlock it the screen goes black. I cann't get any menu to come up either unless I've used a program that I have accessed some other way. For example I can access e-mail if a notification shows up but I can't use it on its own because I cannot get to any home pages and I can access search from the buttons and the keyboard from the buttons but nothing else.
I've tried a battery/sd card/sim out reboot but no dice. I'll try another sd card in a bit but it seems like the sense ui is not loading or something.
Any thoughts or suggestions. I can't access market or any apps so please keep that in mind with suggestions. It was not rooted or modified in any way as its just a loaner.
Thanks, G
If somehow you can get access to "manage application", you could try doing a clear data/clear on HTC Sense and see if that brings back the home screen.
Or go to http://market.android.com and get ADW Launcher or Launcher Pro (remote Install)
And/or try to do a factory reset?
Thanks

Thanks for the reply but its now in a bag waiting to go to the post office. I told them not to bother and send another. I tried to get to the menus but no dice, and since I could not use the dialer, even any phone line commands I think would not have worked.
I had thought about looking into a remote install but thats too much effort to learn for a phone I was only going to have for a few weeks and it may not have worked still. Went back to just a plain old cell for now....

1. Go to market.android.com
2. Find LauncherPro/ADWLauncher.
3. Click install.
Was it really that hard? |:
At the most all you have to do is login to your GMail account.
Ohh- right from the phone, Duh!
Yeah that might have worked but I was thinking on the PC and then having to push it to the phone somehow.
Yeah could have tried that but its in an envelope now...
Hi all, a noobie here, I have a DZ running 2.3.3, although I had this problem before the OTA update. When I press the home button, on what is becoming annoying frequently, it crashes, the screen goes white with HTC in green, then the home screen appears, greyed out, with loading in the centre, for 15 to 30 seconds. I have tried uninstalling various apps, to see if they are the cause but it seems to make no difference. Any ideas to at least try and find out what is causing this? I have thought of doing a factory reset but would rather not if there is an easier way.
I have the same problem, It's annoying every now and again, but i've tried a factory reset which hasn't helped in anyway.
I'm not impressed with the 2.3.3 ROM..
It sounds like the launcher is closing itself to save memory. You probably have a memory-hogging app constantly running in the background. You could try force-closing the app in the App Settings menu, or you could install an alternative launcher such as LauncherPro (link) off the Market.
Just trying launcherpro now, so far so good, as stated earlier, I'm a join, would I be correct, from what I have seen so far using it, that I am no longer using HTC Sense?

Your ROM is still HTC Sense. You're just using a new launcher.
