Problem with Launcher Pro and Swype (Phone Restart) - myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

ok I have bit of an annoying problem with both SWYPE and LauncherPro 0.8.4.1.
I am on Cyanogen 7.0.3 Stable.
Every time my phone restarts, I have to "restart" LauncherPro so it activates the purchased version and all my widgets load and I have to select SWYPE as the keyboard in settings every time the phone restarts. For some reason, it won't stick.
Anyone know the reason for this?
Thanks!

Launcher Pro and CM7 are weird, for me it crashes on boot everytime so there's a conflict between then. As for Swype, thats weird, it should stick.

Tnt_lite_2.20 Launcher notification bug

I encountered a weird bug. If you open the properties button on the Launcher at top of screen and then click the "notification" tab, the tab pops up but never goes away. Click the Launcher setting tab again and nothing happens. At this point I rebooted the tablet to get the notification dialog box to go away.
Any ideas?
Hit the back arrow...
I tried that but did not work. All menus lock up after that. Reboot works.
Wow, that's definitely a bug - got the same thing with Launcher Pro when I clicked on Notifications. Needed to power down the device as it was (almost) frozen.
Anyone know if this occurs in builds before the 2.03 (performance pack)? I'm just wondering if this is the PP at work, or if this has been around since the first TnT Lite builds.

Roebeet, thanks for all your hard work
I can confirm the same results with 2.2.0 and launcher pro...almost frozen and my keyboard would not open.
Added to my Caveats section, just now. Thanks for catching this, smakcc!
Np. I really enjoy beta testing stuff.

I can confirm this on TnT Lite 2.00.
EDIT: I found that if I tap on the battery or wifi indicator, it resets the notifications, and the problem goes away after that.
Just wanted to confirm the same thing. I'll tap on the battery twice and that makes it go away. Glad I bought this thing, I love the feeling of discovery I'm getting from testing different apps and firmwares, haven't had this much fun since I hacked my first PSP!
Same Issue w/ ADW Launcher
I have encountered the same issue but only with ADW Launcher. Everytime I try it it eventually freezes with a white notification tab open. Launcer Pro and the standard launcher works fine. I have tried reinstalling ADW 3 different times and same results. I am running TnT Lite 2.2
I've had it happen with ADW and the swipe down action configured to pop up the notification panel. I never identified the actions it took to actually get it closed again, but I've been able to recover without having to reboot. 2.20 here for me also.

Wifi sleep policy does not work
Anybody else has this problem? My wifi immediately switches off if I put tab to sleep via power button, despite the fact that I put policy to never sleep.
If I'm understanding everyone here, when you swipe up or down on the home screen the battery notification bubble pops up and the controls on the top freeze? I fixed this by going into ADW's settings and disabled swipe up and down.
ETA it wasn't the battery bubble, it was notification bubble. My fix woiks - lol.
Tapping the wifi or battery icons does reset the notification dialog box. It would be nice not to have to do this though.

I found this to be a problem when you have gestures activated in ADW. I don't make my notification bar disappear, so I disabled gestures and the launcher notification bug went away. Of course, this does take away the gesture functionality, but it's something I only accidentally did anyway.
Ehun,
On a different note, thanks for your awe review of the g-tablet, made me go out and buy one!
You mention that it was hard to see buttons in the dark, I worked aroundit but using the buttons on launcher pro. If Only there was an app to poweroff the device it would be great.
Thanks.
I have this issue also. Mine comes from opening. FROM HOMSCREEN (LAUNCHER PRO) > MENU> NOTIFCATIONS.. when opened my window feezes and I reboot to correct...

Click on the actual notification bar and it should clear it out. It seems to be a screen glitche where the pop up ends up on the left side of the screen and slightly off screen.
Thanks for the reply. I will try as specified. you do a great job with the support! Thanks!
"Quick Boot (Reboot)" from Sirius Applications Ltd on the market will let you reboot, power off, or boot into recovery. It's free and it works since you've more than likely got root. Be careful though: it does have a 29.18kb footprint if you're short on space. B)

[Q] Missing Launcher on boot

Sorry if a thread already exists but have done a search and keep finding irrelevant info with the keywords ive used.
It seems for some reason that the launcher doesn't load up and im left with a black screen.
I can however pull down notification bar and that seems to run fine although I cant get access to any menu's to install/activate launcher. I also tried putting a apk of a launcher in the AndroidApps directory to see if it would auto install it but it didnt so im assuming that it only works on first boot.
This has happened twice now on 2 different builds as far as I know and cant pin down what causes it as it seems random to me.
Has anybody had similar issue and know how to fix it by putting launcher back in offline maybe.
Did you uninstall all launchers you have or it's happening for no reason ?
Also, When on the black screen try pressing the Home button as it lets you choose a launcher whenever nothing is running.
No its just happening randomly, Im not installing or installing any launchers. Yes bud, I tried pressing home button as its the most obviously thing to try and nothing happened.
Its as if the launcher programs are not loading or are not there.
I ended up moving onto MDJ's Gingerbread now anyway but would still like it if somebody could shed some light on problem if poss.

[Q] WidgetLocker ForceClose

I recently began using WidgetLocker. However, When I slide the keyboard out when the display is off, WidgetLocker force closes.
I'm running Bonsai Leafless 1.0.2, Gingerbread 2.3 theme, LauncherPro and WidgetLocker when the force close occurs. Is anyone else experiencing this issue? Is there a fix?
Thanks in advance for any assistance.
Can anyone confirm this issue or is it something with my settings?
well i am running midnight ext4 v2.4 with LP and WL and I have no issues when I open the keyboard with the display off, the screen come on and WL is in Landscape.
happens to me 2 i stopped using it.
I think I *may* have found the issue. I'm not sure if it's the ROM, the theme, or some of my settings...
WithOUT WL running...
When I slide open my keyboard, it brings me to my home screen and bypasses the lock screen.
With the keyboard "closed", when I press the power button it brings me to my lock screen. If I slide out the keyboard while at the lock-screen, it bypasses the lock and brings me to my home screen.
I didn't find a setting for this in the phone settings or within Spare Parts. I guess I'll have to wipe and reflash the ROM and take it one step at a time to track down the problem.
I have been having the same problem with WL. I use GoSms to display incoming text messages on my lockscreen and i've noticed if my phone moves into landscape mode while displaying the text, WL force closes. I have tried the settings within WL to force portraid screen orientation but it didnt solve the problem
Yeah getting FC's on my R2D2 as well. Every time i slide the keyboard or set the phone in the dock. Hoping a fix comes soon.

[Q] Crashes when home button is pressed

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.

Phone buttons disappear from launcher

Hi,
this is not the first time that it happens, in the past to solve I had to reinstall the whole firmware, but honestly is a waste of time reinstall all the apps and restore their data. My problem is that sometimes when I quit from some apps (generally games) the buttons of phone, address book and sms disappears from launcher bar (as you can see in attached photo). Probably the question is stupid but... have you any hint on how to reconfigure the launcher?
TIA
just enter menu... then press soft key... then press edit... and then just drag phone, messages and contacts back to the drawer...
Mmmmhhhhh no way, from menu->edit I can only add and remove homepages.
i got that sometimes roght after restart when the phone is still loading ... either that is it or if it will not apear after like 15 seconds you can clear tw cache/data in settings/aplications/manage aplications/ALL - find tw launcher (sometimes in some languages it is called network) anyways youre looking for such icon there on list
Tank you $omator, this resolve my issue
FYI my application is called 'Home'
depends on translation in Polish it is Sieć and that means Network
anyways gg
why don't like you go launcher ex? =)
thanks again $omator
your trick has worked also for me!
btw in french it's "acceuil"

i like simple tw3 look for example modified a bit to fit my needs,
ofc they can always install alternative launcher BUT HOW IS THAT FIXING THE MISSING ICON PROBLEM?
it is not, and that is not this thread topic (what launcher do i use)
but how to solve particular issue
you should move the apps in your dock to the app menu before using a new launcher
