i9000 blinking icons problem - Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hello xda
I've got a problem with my i9000 with stock ROM.
Sometimes when I close an app, the icons on my homescreen keeps blinking. I mean they disapear and apear all over again in loop. I can't even open menu.
Sometimes it stops after few minutes but sometimes I have to reboot my phone to get it work normal again.
Do you know what's the problem and how to solve it?
Thank you in advance.
Greetings from Poland and sorry for my bad English.

Hi,
from time to time I had similar issue: When I closed a call the contact list stayed open and could not be closed (with the BACK button). I think it was due to the fact that the phone did not have enough memory available. I had to kill some processes (press and hold the HOME button). have you tried killing some processes when having these blinking icons?

Yes i still have the exact same problem! Does anyone know how to fix this?!

[Q] TwLauncher issues

Hi guys,
I am having some very strange issues with my Galaxy i9000.
Its stock, no mods and has a few apps running but they are totally safe ones from the Android store.
Ok the problem....
A few says ago for no apparent reason, my Galaxy started to freeze up. By that I mean all functionality was gone. Touch screen was and is unresponsive, the Home button does not work, and with the exception of the power button its a brick. Even when I hit the Power button and you get the options for flight mode and so on, you cant select an option as the touch screen doesnt work. All I can do is take the battery, sim and ext memory out, wait 30 seconds, and put it all back in and start it up.
All works fine till, just when you think all booted fine and you have service, then a message comes up saying.....
"Application TwLauncher (in process com.sec.android.app.twlauncher) is not responding." and you are presented with 2 options.... "Force close" or "Wait".
I have tried both but with no success (Note: this is the only time the touch screen works) and I have searched this and many other sites for a answer but no joy so now I pose the question. What is TwLauncher? and how do I fix this problem?
Any help gratefully welcomed as I have hit the wall and my Galaxy is about to hit it as well unless I get it to work properly.
Cheers
Brett
You might have corrupted sd or it is a kernel problem

[Q]

Hi,
I have Galaxy I 9000 and I am having some issues with it. I rooted my Galaxy to CM10 and usually it works fine, but once in while for some reason it seems like the screen is getting pressed on the bottom of the screen - if I have app. in the bottom of the screen it gets open automatically and continuously pressed inside the app. If I press on the home button then the touch is not working at all and the only way to stop this is to press on the right side button (menu button) which close the screen and press it again to reopen it (or reboot).
I tried to understand why it happens and thought that it might be related to the CM10 - so I replaced it with CM9 and had the same issue. Also tried Slim ver. but had the same issue so I guess it is something to do with the mobile it self.
As I wrote it doesn’t happen all the time but it does happen very often.
Any one has any suggestion on how to fix this bug ?
Thanks

As this is happening with all roms you are installing, this is not a bug of the rom. You should flash the stock rom and see if the problem occurs there.. if it doesn't flash the custom rom and check...
if the problem persists in stock rom too then get your mobile checked at a service center.

[Q] Problems with buttons home and back

Hi, i've got a problem with the Home and Back buttons. Sometimes when i double-click the home button becomes locked and i have to lock and turn on the screen for it to work
Is this problem normal? I've got a screensave and i don't know if that can cause it
thanks

Take a look at what you installed prior to issue showing up, if it was the screensaver then remove the screensaver to see if the issue goes away. If it did then it is your cause, if not what else did you do the phone. Don't forget to reboot the phone after each step to clear out any caches or residual programs.

Well , you mentioned that the system UI was force closing and then the problem begins .
Try flashing the original Z1 system UI and check if you have problems again

i just replaced all the priv apps and the framework etc, same result, i checked logcat and found some info regarding keyguard.apk and some errors with com.sonymobile.lockscreenwallpaper*
.... i think i found my solution, if anyone else is having the same issue this fixed it for me http://forum.xda-developers.com/xperia-z1/themes-apps/mod-keyguard-plus-xperia-blinds-t2935068/page1 .. i believe it was the keyguard apk causing force closes,, i just flashed this file, just in case someone else had the same issue flashing this should fix
the only thing needed from that zip is the keyguard apk. the framework2.jar disables wifi calling if youre on tmobile

[Q] Random freezes with Lollipop, I can only reboot the phone

Good evening.
I just can't take it anymore. After updating to Lollipop 1 month ago, at least once a day my phone freezes completely and I can only reboot it.
Most of the time, it happens when I unlock the phone to answer a whatsapp message. When the chat appears, the phone stop responding. It also happen in random cases, but usually just after I have unlocked the phone.
If I press the lock button, the screen goes black and never turn on. If I longpress the button, the screen to reboot or shut down the phone shows up, but not the background or any other app.
After upgrading from Kitkat, I did a factory reset from the menu. With KitKat this Z3C was the best phone I ever had, but now I hate it.
Is there a way to solve this problem?
Thanks in advance.
Nobody? Maybe have I to install again Lollipop?

I have exactly the same issue. It happened 3 times in 2 weeks, not so often but still annoying. I bought the phone two weeks ago and it was already with lollipop...

I've discovered that going in full screen mode with power toggles widget I can enter the settings and do whatever I want, but as soon as I exit (even if I just pull down the notification drawer only) it goes back with black screen and only the back key, which is not responding.
Is a Lollipop bug or should I send back the phone to the seller? Factory reset could help, even if it was new?
