Anyone noticing bugs w/ Launcher Pro?

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

Beautiful Widgets Weather

Is anyone having difficulty downloading the weather animations update that Beautiful Widgets asks you to download when you are first setting up the widget? Mine just stalls at download and nothing happens. Could this be an issue with 2.3?

Possibly, if the app isn't ready for 2.3.... it's most likely just a server issue they're having though

Worked for me before and now it isn't.

Earlier today, it was fine for me too, and then I redid my phone and it won't download anything. I think it's their own servers that's screwy.

I was having this issue to. But I had a backup of those files and I restored them on my NS and issue resolved. Ill upload if needed tomorrow after 330pm central time.

Gmail crashing

Am I the only one? Just started to happen.
Sent from my Transformer TF101 using Tapatalk

I have had this since updating to ICS. The problem seems to pop up when you press on a notification message to go into an email app, particularly Gmail. Once you get the problem, you have to reboot for it to really go away. I've stopped pressing on the notifications to go into email and that has appeared to help, but my main account is not Gmail so I'm not using Gmail regularly to know for sure. Also, if you are using the Gmail widget, some people say that, after the ICS update, you should remove the old Gmail widget from your homescreen and add it again.

Have you guys try wiping data for the Gmail app

Yes, works for ASUS email app, but doesn't do anything for Gmail.

Thanks for the heads up
Sent from my Transformer TF101 using Tapatalk

I'm having the same issue... has anyone found any solid fixes? If not, maybe pressure should be put on ASUS to remedy the issue, they clearly didn't get the update quite right.

My Gmail app crashes (actually 'hangs' would be a better description of what happens with mine), but never so badly that I have to reboot -- usually just a force close inside settings does the trick for me.

Ditto. So many bugs in this ICS update. No help from Asus yet.

I've found that when using the wake lock app, not only does it prevent the random reboots, etc, but Gmail seems to behave as well. Soon as I disable wake lock, its not long until gmail acts up

Yea, go figure. Nothing to lose any sleep over. At least it doesn't reboot or SOD when on wakelock

Have any of you guys tried fixing permissions? I did and it seems to have worked so far.
Sent from my Transformer TF101 using Tapatalk 2

I have fixed permissions, and it only worked for a while. It seems everything I have tried only works for a while and then the problem comes back. It also seems that on a fresh reboot there is no problem, but after numerous hours the problem comes back?

That's the behavior I get. Less frequently when using wakelock

"Fixed Permissions" ?? Howto?

Yeah, I'm seriously considering going back to HC. ICS seems more snappy but that becomes moot when we have RR's, SOD's and gMail crashing left and right.
What a shame. ICS on my *unsupported* SGS runs like a charm. WTF happened that on a device which gets an "official" ICS has such great problems..

Completely agree with you. Asus released another update today, but my gmail still crashes left and right. Apparently it breaks root too, so now I can't go over to CM9 like I really want to...

I was having random Gmail crashes and slowness also with ICS. The firmware update yesterday seems to have resolved any issues I was having with Gmail.

Anyone else with no maps in weather apps?

Having a very strange problem on the g6. For all the weather apps I use they include weather maps superimposed on Google maps. But the Google maps part of it doesn't display. So all that shows is the cloud cover or precipitation (or whatever layer I have it showing). But since the Google maps part doesn't display I don't know where that precipitation actually is. And this is for all the weather apps I have tried.
I'm a long time Android user and have used these weather apps for years. Any idea why it's not working correctly on this g6? I've tried checking all the app permissions and uninstalling and reinstalling. And Google Maps works fine by itself.

Mine got a problem using uber app its just blank no maps all i can see is the cars available.

When i got my replacement phone i had the same problem. The maps didn't work for Weather Underground, Gas Buddy, Sensorly, etc. I ended up doing a full reset again. ugh!!! So much for spending the evening setting up my phone for the millionth time it seems. I've never had this problem before. I don't know if it's an issue with LG's android software or what.

Did that end up fixing the problem? Like you, I really don't want to do a reset after finally getting the phone setup.
Btw, I did a lot of searching online about this issue and the only other reference to it I could find was from someone with a Verizon lg g6 also.

That's 1weather on my tmobile g6. I didn't do anything, just working out of the box.
I wonder if verizon had done sth to mess with the maps. Can we check if other verizon users having the same issue or not?

Any progress on this issue?

Hi all,
I'm having similar issues except not just with weather apps.
I've also been using the verizon version of Lg G6 and noticed that google maps embedded in ALL apps (i.e. yelp, zillow, tripadvisor, priceline, etc) come out completely blank. This has been going on since day 1 of using this phone. I've attached a screen shot of what it looks like on yelp.
Google maps itself works just fine without any issues.
My phone is up to date with all the system/app updates. I've tried clearing cache, uninstalling and reinstalling all those apps. The only thing I havent tried is doing a factory reset... which I dont want to do =\
Anyone else having this problem?? Any fixes??

I did a factory reset and the issue didn't come back. Btw the reset wasn't as painful as I thought it would be. The LG backup & restore function worked reasonably well. Backed up to SD card bf reset and restored right after. Things still needed to be setup a little. I've always had a rooted phone before this and relied on Titanium backup, so didn't know what to expect.

Galaxy S8 Notification Slow Down Because of Google App

Hi,
I have been experiencing slow notifications on my S8 ever since I bought it, specifically with apps like Twitter and Skype. After research, I tested turning off the app power monitor, but that did not help. Then, I tried disabling the google app and the problem was fixed. However, I do use the google app on a regular basis so I would like to find a different way to fix the problem. I have also tried a phone reset with no results.
Thanks in advanced for any help!

Go really if that works by stopping the google application.
I have it like that, but there are many other things that I lose when I deactivate that function, for example the dictation to google voice, a function that is widely used by me.
I read that Nougat did not pass.
Amazing that there is no solution to this. There is no other solution?
