I have a 2 week old Droid3 right out of the box. Twice now the 5 home screens have reset to the factory default grey and black wallpaper with default icons. All apps and phone settings are still ok. Thought maybe Winamp, PlayerPro, or Dolphin were recent apps installed that needed to be uninstalled. Still happening. Has anyone else seen this problem? Verizon and Motorola have no records of similar issues. Thanks!
Do a factory reset?

There's no guarantee that there in't a bug and it could come back. I forgot to include in my original post is that it happened to a colleague's phone the same afternoon it last occurred for me. I'd like to find root cause rather than "rebooting" the phone.

I've not hear of this happening on the Droid 3 nor have I experienced it. The most likely cause is a rogue app or corrupted piece of software. If that is the case, a factory reset is the fix. If that doesn't work, its likely an incorrect ROM on the device. In which case, a factory reset is the resolution. By using the word "colleague" you imply that you too may use the phone for the same purpose, which would imply you would install similar apps. This goes back to software that you've installed. Factory reset is your permanent resolution. May not be the most convenient, but is definitely the most reliable.
same exact thing happens to my brothers. his notifications are now changing too. he's getting sick of this.

so, my front soft keys somehow disappeared, and I cant get them back; in the settings menu, there is no longer an option for them, and I have no clue how they went away...
any suggestions?
I uninstalled xposed framework, and gravity box, in case that was the issue,and have rebooted many times, but still not there..
thanks!
Not sure if you can or if it would help but did you try another launcher? Maybe a reset but not sure if that would even work.

Is your expanded desktop on from xposed?
Try factory reset as your last resort. Did you mess around turning them off with xposed?

-tried a different launcher, and it didnt work
-re-installed xposed, and gravity box, and made sure expanded desktop was OFF, and it didnt work
-rooting had nothing to do with it, as I rooted a week ago, and everything was fine until last night
thanks so much!
This is one of the reasons I've been leaving my Flex stock til we get a recovery. I know with the G2, zips were made to shrink the keys. Not sure if you could even get them back if you had a zip like that. Maybe you can search G2 threads and find a way. Sorry I can't help ya.
yeah, I even did a factory reset just now, and they are still not there; even in the settings menu, the "front screen buttons" entry is gone..
I guess I'll take it back to T-mobile today and tell them I want it replaced..its only 11 days since I got it, so it shouldnt matter..
I cant imagine rooting had anything to do with it, since I rooted a week ago, and its worked perfectly until it just went out last night

Before you do that you should try restoring with wolfgart's thread downloads. If you're going to be changing stuff, its good to know how to fix a brick.

Can you pull your build.prop via adb and enable the software keys like that and push it back?

i thought about doing that, actually, but it was alot easier to just return it and get a new one today.
If it happens again, which it better not, I will try that.
I think Gravity Box was the culprit, after reading through the 500+ pages of that thread; it seems to play havoc at times with soft keys, so users beware..
That was one of the reasons why i was debating on getting this phone. Nothing beats a physical button.(that works...)

Maybe your case?
thanks, I exchanged my phone yesterday for a new one, but I will remember this going forward..
I discovered this while digging around in the hidden menu. Accessed via dial pad in your phone apk by dialing 3845#*959#. (959 due to the 3 numbers in the device variant). Other carriers /variants use their last 3 accordingly. I don't know if this works for all carriers or not. I only have a D959.
First off let's learn why the "tether dun" option by using sqlite editor and changing the 1 to 0 doesn't work nor stick after reboot.
Carriers seem to have become wise to this hack since its been around from the first Moto RAZR XT912. And probably before that. Seems they have found a way to still tell whether or not you're tethering by monitoring the data stream and seeing the desktop user agent or style that is used by laptops and desktop PCs and/or other tablets use when tethering off of a devices hotspot.
So with that said there needs to be a way for carriers to disable this feature. So I went probing through my D959's hidden menu and found the option. I'm posting screen shots (hopefully in order of the method used) as well as my account page showing my hotspot usage has ran out at 3 gigs free that comes with my unlimited data.
I'm not responsible for your device or lack of following instructions to a "t". Its your phone and your choice to try or not.
With that said here we go:
First create new APN in your " access point names settings" to mirror that of your stock APN. And add to the APN type line - ",admin,dun"
The do the following :
1. Go to dail pad type in "3845#*959#
(The menu comes up)
2. Scroll to find option named " settings" click it
(Another menu pops up )
3. Scroll to find option "up sell url". Click it
(A smaller menu window pops up)
4. Chose " TMUS hastetheringoption". Click it
5. Back out like normal. I don't know if this matters but I use a 3rd party hotspot toggle as to not enter the T-Mobile hotspot apk.
6. Profit
Sorry to those of you who have trying with no luck due to I left out a step. My fault I apologize.

UPDATE: I have been using this script from the LG G2 forums on Jellybean 4.2.2 and all has been working great. Smanager works great at changing the 1 back to a 0 on boot. So no more having to do it manually.
LG G2 forums with script -
But since I've moved up to KitKat and still using said script, I got a message stating I've used all available data allowed for my WiFi hotspot. What? All available data? How could this be when I'm clearly changing the "tether_dun_required" -1 to a 0? Well I don't know if T-Mobile got wise to us or what. But I found another line in the same settings using sqlite editor called
"Package_verify_enabled". It also has a 1 (for true) out beside it. So being that I need my hotspot for my son to play xbox360 live, I changed it to a "0" . and what do ya know? I now have working WiFi hotspot and I tested this mod out for the entire Florida St. vs Louisville game tonight while streaming it to my Nexus 7 (2013) at work so all the co workers and I could watch what we thought and what seemed to be a Florida St. ∆$$ whipping but sadly enough Florida St. Pulled it out at the end. But on a good note, the WiFi hotspot hack still works.
Good luck

It never stuck after reboot and I always had to change the user string agent but editing the tether dun required value worked for me.

Thanks for the response. I'm currently running stock kit Kat (when i upgraded it borked something with the ability to connect in different modes with my computer, i can only connect with the "pc software" option) (getting new one sent on Monday) so it can't be any frozen programs. Not sure what it could be though really cuz I've never really messed with the hidden menus on phones. Always had build props and custom roms to do that stuff for me.

I have no idea about the other variants of the g flex. I have T-Mobile d959. I'm not even sure if those options are the same in the other variants. I do believe the hidden menu is still accessible with the 3845#*your variants number# but beyond that have no idea.
UPDATE 4-27-14 :::
I've had my hotspot on all weekend watching YouTube, showbox, surfing the web, as well as my son has been doing the same and even had his Xbox 360 tethered thru it and my hotspot data amount is still sitting on 3.0 gigs according to t-mobile's built in apk that is linked to our accounts. The T-Mobile folks no the apk I'm speaking of. It doesn't update instantly but does do so at least twice a day or more. Here's a screen shot showing. Notice the dates.

After reading my original post I left out a step. Make your own APN setting and add to "APN type" ",admin,dun". And reboot then follow original post.
Sent from my Nexus 7 using Xparent Skyblue Tapatalk 2
Hello, I tried this and it didnt work so I deleted the new APN I created but ever since my otherwise amazing data speed and connection has been inconsistent and spotty. Even looses signal sometimes which has never happened. Speeds are also not as good as they were.
I set the " TMUS hastetheringoption" option as advised.
My question is what is the default setting so I can go back to it as I believe it has something to do with what I am experiencing.
Thanks!

I believe its TMUS dataplanrequired. I don't understand why your signal is spotty and loss of signal. The more I mess with these settings I'm realizing that all this has done is create another option in the settings storage file where the other method of changing the tether fun required 1 to a 0 is. The other file I know have ,mind you im not sure how I got it, but I believe from testing one or several of the upsell URL options. That now has that tether dun required set at 0, not by me, and sticks through reboot. Here's a screenshot of said settings option that used to not be there. Let me know if this is just me or if others have noticed this now showing up.
Well actually I lost the pics when I flashed back to stock after a weekend long brick. But I managed to some how have screen shots saved to Dropbox of some build.props that I didn't notice before. The other settings option was seen thru sqlite editor when used to change that 1 to a 0 when I clicked on "settings storage" there used to be only one choice then a few days before I bricked and flashed back to stock I noticed another one called settings BCPM I think or something like that. It had all the same build.props in it except the tether fun required was defaulted to 0 already. Which kept me from having to set it or from going to the upsell URL again. The "BCPM" may not be the correct letters but it was something like that. Sorry for the delayed response also I've been bricked all weekend and trying to get it back lol

Its not app related since even in the main system menu it doesn't work. I went back to stock image and nothing. I've read that doing a factory reset OEM lock will fix it.
All other audio works. Can't be because I opened my phone, I refuse to believe that.

There is only a couple or cables that need disconnecting when swapping out the middle plate. So no, because it doesn't seem necessary. The cables are battery and wireless charging related...and since I'm powered on I assume its fine.
If anything I'll try hard reset and see what happens.

Description of issue, how to repeat.
Solution

I'll try to update this as they are posted.
Only one I have seen myself is the security settings
Bug- Settings crashing when trying to configure pin, pattern, password
solution- none
Log- none, will be fixed next release according to PA Team
Remember do not use Open Gaaps. PA team has had some issues. Also not recommended to use full package...(I'm running Nano myself)

Bluetooth/android wear worked fine, however when I paired the phone to my car the bluetooth share process started crashing constantly.
I switched to purenexus after two days but here's what I noticed:
-I was using the elementalX kernel
-random reboots when listening to google play music
-icon theming only worked once while using google now launcher (applied one pack and then couldn't change that pack)
No logcats, sorry. I might try going back after the next substantial update and keep the stock kernel that comes with it.
