Hi, I installed ADW Launcher, and it worked fine. But recently it takes a long time to get to the home app. Pressing home from ANY application takes a minimum of 1.5 seconds, which doesn't seem like a lot, but it's noticable when it takes something like 3-4 seconds just to load the home app.
I switched Home caching on (never kills) but it's still slow...
Any Ideas? Froyo FRF91, Stock.
Bump, anyone?
Hero Goes into sleep mode and does not wake up!!!
Has anyone had this issue, it has happened to all 3 Hero's that Sprint has replaced, out of no where it goes into sleep mode, does not matter what button I hit it does not wake back up, I have to actually take the battery out and replace it and then turn the phone back on to get it back. Is there something that is causing this issue if anyone else has had this happen, is there a solution to wake it up without having to take the battery out, it does not happen often, but at least once or twice a week.
I wonder if it could be an app causing this issue, it did it again today, the screen is asleep and when I try to wake it up, I do everything and nothing works, sometimes if I leave it alone for 10 to 15 minutes then it finally wakes up on it's own, or if I don't want to wait then I have to take the battery out to reboot it, that is the only way to get it back, and I am not doing another factory reset. I am not rooted and do not intend to root at the moment
This is driving me crazy please help!!!!!

Well dude, its kind of hard when you don't give us any info (and your font is hard to read...)
What ROM?
What apps do you have installed?
What are you doing right before you turn it off?
I am on stock 2.1 with the .6 update, apps installed are, Delete old messages, Launcher Pro which I am using as default now, Handcent, Juice defender, Quick settings, COL reminder, Dolphin HD, You Mail, Fancy Widget, Sense analog clock not using this right now, home switcher, Uninstaller, Google maps, Viz battery, Google voice, Barcode scanner, Opera mini, Astro file, PDA net which have not used yet, Free caddie, Color notepad, How far am I
I do not turn it off, out of no where it goes into sleep mode and I cannot wake it up, no mater what keys I press, if I take the battery out and replace then I can reboot it back, or if I leave the phone alone for about 15 to 20 minutes then all of a sudden it will wake back up. Anything else needed let me know!!

Could be
Launcher Pro
Juice Defender
COL Reminder
Viz Battery
all those sound like they might run when the screen is turned off.
Have you tried doing a reformat and starting over?
Yes I have, have reset many times, like mention a few other of my friends also have the same issue, this is also my 3rd phone from Sprint and they have all done this one time or another, as for LP, Viz battery, and juice defender I recently installed and did it before that, and COL I have not used in a while

I use launcher pro and juice defender with no problems, so you might want to start with the other apps.

You haven't hard reset it if you're still having the problem.
I have hard reset it 3 times now and everything works fine for about a day or two and then all of a sudden out of no where it goes into dark sleep mode as I call it, now remember it does not happen everyday, could happen once or twice a week and then not happen for 2 weeks straight after that there is no pattern to it. These are the 2 methods I have used list below.
Menu Path Method:
1. From the Home screen, press the Menu Button and select Settings.
2. Select Security.
3. Select Factory data reset.
4. Select Reset phone.
5. Select Erase everything.
6. The device will dump all of the data and reload.
Key Stroke Method
1. Power the device OFF.
2. Press and hold the HOME and Back Arrow buttons. While holding these buttons, press the End Call button once.
Release the Home and Back Arrow buttons and press the Trackball to execute the Hard Reset.
3. The device will reboot once the process is complete.

OK back to the drawing board, it is not the Blue Tooth as I had BT turned off for 2 days now and it just went to sleep again. I will try another program to deactivate until I find the damn culprit
OK my next step is I have turned auto polling off for the YouMail app,and have also set the downloads to the SD card instead of internal memory, I will still know there is a message as it sends me a text anyways, fingers crossed, any other suggestions are welcomed!!!!!
Anyone using Button Savior? I love it but it doesn't seem to survive a reboot. In fact, sometimes, it seems to die even without a reboot. Is anyone else experiencing this? Is there a way to ensure that it's always running?

I started using it today and have rebooted several times. Seems to actually work, whereas SoftKey didn't work as reliably for me.
I installed it via the Market. At some point, not right away, it asked for su. After that it has worked fine.

I'm another happy user of button savior. I use it on on my rooted HD2 and love it.
An update just came out for button savior, but I have never had problems with it. I do have to restart it once in awhile after a boot, but not every time. Not much to complain about because I love that some smart person actually came out with it!
I've been using it for several days and have rebooted many times. Installed via Market. So far so good.
I love button savior. I occasionally miss the button to pull up the menu because its so small but it has survived a few reboots.
I see the little button on my screen on the right but it does nothing, I cannot activate it, I have gone into the settings and I can move it from left to right but that's it, Help please

Are you sure your finger is touching it? I have trouble getting the nook to register my taps on the edges of the screen. Once you tap the icon a group of icons appear like home and back. Try reinstalling if you continue to have problems.
Since the update to 5.0 it seems like every time I hit the home button I get this annoying pop up asking me which home screen to use. I have hit the Damn always button about 10000 times and now it's just annoying the **** out of me anyone know of a fix?

I do not know how to fix that, but you might be able to use a different launcher and see if that solves it. It's an easy bandaid if it works.

OK so I downloaded nova launcher and after opening it seen that the Hotmail app might give nova a problem so I Uninstalled it and now have no issues
I found a new and useful app on Play Store. It's called easyHome for Samsung and it let you simply touch the fingerprint scanner instead of pressing the home button. Also, with the pro version, you can turn off the display with a long touch.
I'm trying it and it's really nice. Anyway the long press of home button is unusable, because if you long press the home button to start google now, when you leave the button the app recognizes a long press and shut down the screen. I'm also concerned about fingerprint life and battery drain because now it's always active.
Let me know what you think about it
Google Play Link: easyHome for Samsung
Just installed. So far so good.

Good app but I have found it works inconsistently so I have uninstalled.
I've played with it a little. It's nice when it works, but it's not consistent. Especially the paid long press feature doesn't work well, many times a normal tap triggered it.
The problem is the timing. When doing a tap, it seems to register as being a long-press even though it was fairly quick. To get the tap to register consistently, you have to barely touch the button.
These timings need to be adjusted. Even better would be an option within the app to set the timing ourselves.
it keeps my phone awake all the time :/

Yes. Battery drain is the main reason I uninstalled it. Devs says they're working on it, but nothing new.
I appreciate the screen off function on long press. I'm actually looking for a good alternative to turn off the screen.
