Launcher Pro is by far my favorite launcher application but I have noticed a few bugs with it on my Vibrant lately. I know it's Launcher Pro causing them because my device doesn't duplicate them when running stock TouchWiz or ADW Launcher.
Bug #1 - When activating GPS it causes the entire phone to freeze and sometimes restart.
Bug #2 - Sometimes apps will not launch at all until I reset my device. If I click on a app it closes will open and close within 1 second.
Has anyone else experienced these bugs?
Been using LP for a few weeks now and haven't noticed either of those bus. In fact, LP has given me no problems at all.
I've had LauncherPro installed since the day I purchased my phone in mid-July. Experienced none of these bugs. I don't think it's LP-related on your end.
The dialer also does not connect to an in call dialer. If you get a phone call and exit out of the dialer, you cannot get back to that dialer. When you click your dialer application, it gives you a fresh dialer acting like no one is connected.

If you pull down on the notification bar, and then press on the green phone icon, it will take you back to your call that is already in progress.
I'm using launcher pro and I've also experienced both of the issues mentioned in the OP. I've been using LP almost since day one, so I can't say whether or not they're LP bugs specifically. The app launching issue I've noticed more with Handcent than any other. On the GPS issue, I don't have any of the "fixes" applied, so it's not that. I'm thinking about reloading a completely stock ROM to see if that might fix it.

I understand this, but the dialer application should work. Thanks for the tip though.

i like launcher pro, but it makes my vibrant noticeable slower than the tw launcher.
LP since July 15th... absolutely no issues.
what other things have you done to the phone? Rom? Lag Fix? Etc?

I'm still on the stock rom. No lag fixes, gps fixes, etc. It's rooted, but that's about it.

I have also had these happen but just with lp. Since the last update I haven't experienced them again. At least for now.

I don't notice any bugs with LP but I mostly use the stock launcher. Just not a fan of the stock android look...
I do notice one bug in ADW launcher though which I use from time to time and that's the scrolling of the home screens. Sometimes I'll try to flick to the next screen and all it'll do is bounce and stay on the same screen. I had this some problem on the mytouch slide so I know it's not a vibrant issue.
YES! I AM EXPERIENCE CONTINUOUS REBOOTS!
My Epic 2.1.1 rooted with 'one-click' method seemed fine for a day. But once I installed LauncherPro, the device stared to reboot continously every 30sec.
I had to go into recovery mode and wipe/factory reset!
Any ideas?
^ did you try and install a system app? Only way I can see that possible... would have absolutely nothing to do with LP.
My launcher pro is working great. I bought the pro version though, thought I might add that launcher was updated today the 3rd.

Yeah, I am LOVING the new twitter widget.. only going to get better.
I've had no problems with LP, but I have with ADW. When opening the tray it keeps, for the lack of better words rebooting the tray. It will show the zoom in effect like 3-5 times before it loads the tray.
My phone is rebooting every 30sec once again! DAMN!
After the first bout, I re-rooted using one-click method, installed supseruser and titaniumbackup, then proceeded to restore all new app+data...
I stayed away from LP, but I went with ADW.Launcher. As far as system apps, I dont believe I installed anything like this; what would be an example of a system app?
I was good for one day, and then this morning, it seemed fine but the batt was very low. After plugging in the charger.... a few min later, this reboot cycle began!
I am on my 3rd recovery wipe/factory reset now.
Anyone else experience this or have recommendations?
I have a bug where it doesn't size live wallpapers properly when changing to landscape mode and the keeps the off size when rotating back to portrait. A dealbreaker for me since I love my lw's

I've set up the launcher, but when I set up direct dial on the desktop, it keeps telling that it can't launch action. Does anyone else have this issue and is there a fix for it

I just tested it for you and I had no problem with it. Try restarting Apex?
Tried restarting, uniinstalling the at and reinstalling, still doesn't work
I really don't think this matters, but I'll throw it out there...I am rooted, but other than that here is what I did. I long pressed on the desktop, selected Shortcuts and then Direct dial, then selected a contact. It created a contact on my desktop, I clicked it and it dialed it. I have to assume these are the steps you are taking as well?
Yes, but it still doesn't work
Try using the root setting in the apex settings. Cant remember the exact name of the root option. Maybe that will help.
Can't find the root setting.
Are you rooted? I could not tell by your response.
No, not rooted

Then, I would assume that may be the difference. I was rooted when I tried to duplicate your issue.

So i just noticed that with the stock LG messaging application i am not getting the pop-up quick reply. I'm assuming it has something to do with something i froze in titanium backup however instead of going through each one one by one and going through a bunch of test text messages to figure it out i'm turning to the community.
Does anyone know which service allows the pop-up to happen?
Thanks!
I don't always get it, either. Seems to only pop up if I'm on my home screen. Been meaning to ask a few friends to text me back so I can test it out.
That's how it is suppose to work, however that has stopped working for me hence the post

Well I unfroze everything & still not working dyes I have the option set to yes. Only things I've done is flash stock browser and installed an old apk of Google Talk as I didn't like Hangouts.
I think maybe something with the Google Talk install did it. Looks like I'll have to restore to a backup.

Mine stopped working as well. Did everyone here install GMD Auto Hide?
i used TWRP to do a factory wipe and it fixed it. Restored my backup and wasn't there. Yes i installed gmd auto hide.
I think GMD is breaking the pop up. Oh well.. I rather not have those ugly software buttons than have the message pop up.

I currently have had the SPH-720 for a month now, bought the blue one during the BB deal over the holidays...anyways. Been flashing ROMS back and forth and currently on Sacs ROM. Now I've spent DAYS Googling and search forums all over for help on this and I keep getting the same answer. My wife recently ditched the android life and got an iPhone and every time she sends me emojis or vice versa none of them show up on my phone. I can see what emojis I send but she just gets the black diamond with the question mark and I get them on my phone when she replies with emojis. Here are ALL the procedures I've been thru to get it to work on my end cause I'm assuming it's my phone. I've download ChompSms, Handcent, GoSms, Textra and all the emoji plug-ins to get them to work and I still get the same error of diamonds. I've even tried installing the DroidSansFallBack.tff font and fallback.xml whatever and changed the permissions and NOTHING. Can anybody tell me what I should do? Tried all the latest AOSP ROMs and nothing as well, I thought it was a error with Sprint with sending MMS over WiFi but that doesn't apply with the 3rd party apps so I've heard.
Not a Noob when it comes to android phones so if it's anything "complicated" any input is appreciated.
Edit: BTW I use Kii keyboard as my default and have tried KK keyboard as well but still getting the same error

I've tried that numerous times, wiped constantly and flashed 5.0-5.4 of sacs Rom, one of them my emojis worked but after I updated to like 5.3 I think I lost all my emojis. I can view them on Facebook, twitter, and IG but when use them in a text they don't show up.

I have the option to pull up emojis on my stock keyboard, and have iwinnime installed but I still get the same problem. Checked it out on my moms s3 last night and she gets emojis fine but I'm like WTF..I'm lost. Here are pics between my wife's iPhone and me using the stock TW messaging app and go SMS. Now I can type emojis using keyboards and any 3rd party messaging app but she all she receives is the error of diamonds in question marks. I'm currently on MJA apparently and I'm ready to wipe the device completely, return to stock and install mk2... Idk if it will help but I'm crossing my fingers.

*sigh* i'm at a lost lol, ok let me explain what i currently just did. so i used the STOCK rooted MJA Rom found on here cuz that was my current baseband at the moment this all was happened and i mentioned updating it to mk2 which i just did thru odin. So now I'm on the current mk2 baseband stock and rooted thru odin and philz recovery....I grabbed my office's ipad and loaded hangouts on there cuz that was the quickest way i could access at IOS at the time. I send a message from my s4 with emoji's on the default keyboard...via hold mic and select smileys....what do you know THE EMOJIs go thru on hangouts fine via message. So I had one of my friends with a iPhone send me emojis via sms. And here goes the Bullish** with the diamonds and question marks. I'm at A LOST!!!! I wanna install sacs latest but if I can't get the problem fixed on stock what is a custom ROM gonna do for me.

I pulled my hair out with this too. Do you use Google Voice with your Sprint number? If so, Google somehow screws up the emojis when they handle the data. I think the other features make Voice worthwhile, so I still use it with my GS4.
My wife has a Note 3 and was using Voice and had the exact symptoms you are. We removed Voice from her Sprint account (don't just delete the app, you need to remove it from your account...see Google), and the emojis immediately began to work fine.
You might not be a Voice user, but I wanted to put this here in case someone finds this down the road.
Lol it's funny that you replied to this @nobody291 . i came across the information this morning about this google voice problem and TA-DA!!! i disabled my sprint number and can now see Emojis again.

Working fine for me.
Everything seems to be working fine for me as well.
Is anyone else getting notification chimes during playback of music? I'm getting one for play/pause, two when it goes forward a track or I skip, and three when I reverse a track.
Received the update notification & upgraded to Oreo. Now my Verizon S8± widgets aren't working correctly. Beautiful Widgets time gets stuck, Evernote widget is partially blank, & RealCalc widget won't respond at all. Upon waking the phone, the widgets have disappeared. I have to put the phone to sleep & wake it to set them to reappear, but they don't respond.
I've tried to re-install those apps with no success. I installed HD Widgets & got the same results. Any suggestions short of factory resetting it? Thanks in advance.

Are those apps up to date> maybe the apps don't have support for the OS yet. Try reinstalling the apps or widgets and see if it helps. Maybe try force closeing and see if that does anything

All of my apps were up to date. The problem was with Next 3D Launcher that I was using at that time. I've switched to Nova Launcher & that solved my problem.
