Hello people of the world. My phone one day after I took the battery out to let it cool down and put it back in+restarted it, whenever I hit the home, instead of going to the home screen, it went to desk home built in app (I'm running stock 2.2). I figured it out by freezing desk home on titanium backup. But the real problem is that whenever I enter an app, like facebook or email, it is only in the horizontal view even though I am holding it upright. It is with ALL my apps (even the xda app D. I was wonderin if anyone knows the solution :S and if desk home had something to do with it.

I've tried just about every reasonably rated run/bike app on my Aria (Endomondo and RunKeeper seem to be the best) and always have the same problem.
I start them before a run/ride, but shortly after I begin, my screen turns off and the app seems to close. It actually is still running (when I press and hold the Home button, the app appears), but when I reopen it, my current run/ride has terminated.
Has anyone else had this problem? Is there a way to keep the app going when my screen turns off?
Thanks in advance.
i use runkeeper and dont ever have that problem, the screen normally stays on the entire time unless i manually lock it or change screens
i dont even know how to change the settings to make it do anything different
I also use runkeeper without any problems (running Liberated Beta 5). I start the application/activity, lock the screen, and it runs without fail either in the background or as the primary running application.
Are you using some kind of automated task killer or battery saving application? That is the only thing I can think of that would explain the closing of the app when your screen shuts off.
your old thread is still here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=742912&highlight=endomondo
did you try the app fix i mentioned?

I never saw your trackboost suggestion. I did a search on the Market and it couldn't find it. Can you send me a link to it?

I don't use a lockscreen. I just turn off the screen with the power button.
Not aware of using any task killer or battery saving app. In my task manager, it is still running.

Hello guys, I have a HTC hero from sprint which I intalled the 2.2 android version. I never notice this till today, for some reason when i try to open a picture sent to me via text, I press the play icon on the screen and just for less the a secon I can see the picture but it goes back to the message; it wont stay open. please help.
I always had that happen with stock messaging app. Try handcent or chomp.

If its a pic just long press and save or view attachment. Might work.
Yea its me again with the
Modified Hero
Yeah, it's a hit or miss for me. When I can't view it, I do what he said above me.
The only problem with saving is if it's an animated .gif file, it won't animate. And if I'm not mistaken, stock messaging won't animate either. Not 100% since I haven't used stock messaging for quite some time.
Hi,
I'm using stock 2.3.3 w/ stock launcher, build GRI40. Occasionally, when I press home, I see my live wallpaper but no launcher. I either have to sit for a while until launcher reappears or reboot the phone (or kill the launcher app if System is in app history). Does anyone else have this problem?
Another problem I have is with Maps. Sometimes when searching, the soft keyboard doesn't show up but if I tap where the keys would be, it registers the press as if the kb is there.
And sometimes when going into the details for a point in the map and bringing up the context menu for more options, the screen darkens as if the dialog is there but no dialog is shown. Again, when I tap the screen, it registers the presses as if the dialog is there. I'm using HTC IME mod for N1. Killing the map app doesn't help, only a reboot seems to solve it.
Anyone else having these issues?
Are any of these apps installed on your SD? That would be the obvious fix...

No, all on the internal memory. This is stock Android so stock apps can't be moved to the sd card.
When you update from the Market, the update is placed in /data/app, not system/app, so it's possible your Maps is in data. I know that was a source of Maps problems for me, which I resolved by moving it back to system. If you're not rooted, you don't have that option through... Tricky... :-/

I know that I've been having problems with the new keyboard, wont show up, wont show key press popups, crashes completely. Maybe it's something I'm doing... I think it's something system wide that just effects the keyboard workings.
I don't know. but you're not the only one with key board issues. =)

I've started having a strange problem with HTC IME Mod. I type stuff and it never draws the suggestions although the suggestions are actually there - moving the Dpad left/right shows the text being replaced in the input box with the suggestion.
This is starting to look like a GB issue tbh, I never had any of these problems in Froyo. All my stuff is stock.

I saw this problem once, about 24 hours after installing 2.3.3. I was also experiencing severe battery drain. The battery monitor showed "Android OS" using most the battery. I found references to setting the Wi-Fi sleep policy to "Never" to correct this. Sure enough, the battery life has been fine and "Android OS" no longer uses much battery.
It may be coincidental, but since doing this, I haven't had the empty home screen problem and my phone has been up for over a week. You might give this a try if you haven't already and see if it helps.

It was already set to 'Never' but I've set it again to 'Never'. Lets see if it makes a difference
my gmail will not auto sync any more. it only syncs when i do it manually. i have looked all over the settings, and i cannot find any way to make it sync automatically again. i don't know what happened. any thoughts?
Ok I had this same problem and never posted about the solution I found since it made me seem stupid...lol since you are having the same problem I will share my insight with you. The quick settings bar (I don't really know if that's the correct name) but the one with all the widgets in a row that you can turn on and off your wifi, gps, bluetooth, ect... there is a little sync icon there. That for me was turned off and my only problem. I don't know how it got turned off and every other setting I checked was set to sync, but as soon as I highlighted that little icon, gmail started syncing immediately... hope that helps!

Ok the widget is actually called power controls if that helps more. If you are like me and erase everything off your home screens when you get the phone, you might not even have it on one of them now. In case you don't have that widget anymore just long press on one of your home screens. Make sure you have a 1x4 space (basically and empty row) when you long press the screen a set of options will pop up... choose widgets and then scroll to power controls. Click on power controls and it will pop up on your home screen. Make sure the little sync icon is highlighted. That is what did it for me. Let me know if that works.

damn.... i am a complete fool... that was it. at least i am not alone in my follies
(Sorry if this has been covered before - I couldn't find anything by searching!)
When I go into the default 'Messaging' app on my Galaxy S (to write a text message), it often quits out, more or less immediately back to the home screen.
It isn't like a force close or a crash/freeze, but as though someone has pressed the back or home button to return to the home screen. Sometimes I can go back in no problems, other times this cycle goes on for a few times until I can successfully open the messaging app long enough to write a message.
Does anyone know what causes this and if there is a workaround?
I'm running Gingerbread.XXJVQ and ADW EX as my custom launcher if that helps.
Wow. Third thread... Not quite the same but similar thing happening over here

Thanks for the pointer Talon26.
I'll keep an eye on that thread to see if any answers surface.
