Yes, I think that the number of widgets may have something to do with this. Trust me when I tell you that I am the leading expert on the problem but am also the leading expert on not being able to find a solution. I tried to stop working on the issue but it's bugging the hell out of me. I've put an email into Google but you know how that goes.

EDIT ONE: You appear to have discovered the cause. I can add up to two widgets without any issues. Any more than that and I get the FC when long pressing the widget multiple times in a row. I'm going to put it another email to Google.

EDIT TWO: I can reproduce the error with only two widgets.
[Nexus One General] iVisionX01:
It just may be the amount of widgets, I have about 11 widgets total and my launcher is FCing on about everything I do. I switched to Home++ for the time being and I must say it is smooth as hell. I wish the regular launcher is this smooth. Also so far no FCs and I get landscape mode back. Orientation switches quick thx to the snapdragon processor.
[Nexus One General] xocassidychick15ox:
Are both widgets on the main screen? I have the power control widget and the news and weather widget and then 8 apps underneath. All other screens are empty.
[Nexus One General] BrooklynAvi:
I have the News and Power Control widgets on one screen, the Agenda widget on another and icons on another. I can reproduce the error with only one widget on one screen and no other icons, widgets or folders on a clean wipe. It is almost definitely a bug in the launcher. I cannot, after testing on more than one N1 and looking over the apps installed on seven N1s (thanks to those who PMed me), point to a specific app or widget as the culprit. When the source is released, perhaps a dev will look into it some more.
[Nexus One General] britoso:
Thanks for the info, I've switched too.

++No more crashes

++7 Home screens

++Nice quick launch bar, power strip, task list

++nice clock

++includes live wallpapers

Not a single crash yet.

Home++ is an excellent workaround for this bug.
[Nexus One General] everythingisround:
Home++ is a Great temp. fix

My force closing must have been some Launcher widget problem or some bug somewhere. I thought it was from too many apps, not necessarily running, with 80+ mb free ram I thought not. Home++ is blazing fast on the N1, thanks for the tip....big time....now bug time. I do miss the new home though :mad:
[Nexus One General] Ssantos6981:
I think the problem is with widgets that are of sizes 2x4, 3x4 and 4x4.

I have a bunch of 1x4 and 2x2's on my screens and I have no problem at all.

Try this, put a widget that is 2x4 (facebook widget) and leave the phone sleeping for a few minutes. Wake the phone up and try to move the widget. It takes a few minutes to reproduce the error, but once it starts to happen, it becomes like clockwork, always when I try to move the widget I can make it reproduce, specially on widgets 4x4. I've gotten force closes with a slide show photo widget (4x4) the calander grid (2x4) and the facebook app (2x4), and twidroid large (4x4).

Can anyone else confirm this?
[Nexus One General] BrooklynAvi:
I wish this was the case. I've even been able to replicate it on an icon, although not as easily. It also happens when the screen indicators are long-pressed.

To the Home++ users: while you may consider it a fix, I do not. It is not acceptable for me to not be able to use what is arguably one of the main parts of the device. Two emails to Google and so far not even a simple response indicating that they received them. Truthfully, I don't care if they take their time fixing it. I just want to know that it's an official bug so I can move on.
[Nexus One General] jcrabapple:
I have been experiencing a similar issue. My problem does not seem to occur when long pressing on any widgets or icons. For me it happens when I first turn on the phone. I get the Launcher Force Close message as soon as I slide to unlock the phone.

Sometimes just the icons will disappear and immediately return. Sometimes the screen will go completely black except for the toolbar at the top, and take up to 30 seconds for everything to show up again.

It's not that big of a deal because I rarely restart my phone but it does bug me that something is obviously wrong. I had all 5 home screens full of icons and widgets. I removed all widgets except for the power control and news/weather widget and restarted a couple times and it hasn't done it. Now I need to narrow it down and figure out which widget is doing it.
[Nexus One General] esemar:
After several days of frustration, I installed Home++ and started using it. Not only did the problem go away, Home++ basically makes the Nexus One the way it should have been coming off the assembly line. Very nice application, and when they start charging for it, I'm buying.

Issue Posted

I have posted this issue on the Android project home page. Please add your comments.

[Nexus One General] Wysie:
A similar issue happened with rogro82's earlier versions of GDE...
[Nexus One General] JoshHart:
Im using Home++ on 2 of my phones but I havent got Live wallpapers enabled on either, how did you get them to work?
[Nexus One General] BrooklynAvi:
I'm assuming it will be fixed by Cyan or enom sooner or later.

Yeah, Live Wallpaper don't seem to work on Launcher+ and Home++ but they are a ridiculous battery drain anyway and I never use them.

I've finally given up and am now using Launcher+. I much prefer that because it is a no frills exact replacement for the stock Eclair 2.0 launcher which is fine with me. No FCs and all my apps and widgets. Plus, since I'm no longer using the stock launcher I have ~50MB of memory available to me.

The biggest issue I have is this one: http://www.nexusoneforum.net/forum/...screen-issue-please-post-here-if-you-got.html. This issue basically makes any white screens with text unbearably horrible. I really hope it's just a software update.
[Nexus One General] kitsunisan:
Just wanted to ask if anyone has found a threshold for the number of apps that crash the system? I started reinstalling apps, held steady at 112 without many issues, but once I installed everything I had, 150, I'd get fc's every 30 seconds or so, making the launcher unusable.
[Nexus One General] BrooklynAvi:
I have tried many (many, many, many) times to try and find this threshold with no real answer. I have seen it with as few as 30 apps installed but I have mostly seen it at around the 50-60 range.

Sadly, the recent OTA update from Google, as tested in Enom's TheOfficial, has not solved the problem. Thankfully, Launcher+ has literally worked flawlessly since I installed it weeks ago. It is a fine alternative, especially if, like me, you don't want a complete home replacement app but just want the standard launcher.
[Nexus One General] MindEracer:
Interesting I was just coming in to comment that I haven't noticed this bugs sense updating. I was excited at the idea this bug had been fixed! But now I'll wait and see, if it pops up again.
[Nexus One General] britoso:
Anyone test this after the update?

I tried and it never crashed.
[Nexus One General] stephen293:
Just wanted to let you know that I am still experiencing this launcher force close. Happens when I press a widget larger than the standard size.

Widgets I have had problems with:

Folder Icons

beautiful widgets

grid calendar

nexus light widget

I also notice this problem has been MUCH more freqeunt after installing smooth black bar via metamorph

BTW: Running Enomther's Rom.
[Nexus One General] BrooklynAvi:
The problem has nothing to do with which widgets, ROM or theme you have. It's an issue that Google has noted that has to do with an out of memory exception that is thrown when there are too many apps running. The ONLY solutions as of this post are to use an alternative launcher or have very few apps installed. I chose the former.
[Nexus One General] stephen293:
I'm just calling it as I'm witnessing it. I have been and still am using home++. Definitely wanted to test it after the update. I can say that while it has nothing to do with a certain app, widget per-say. Previous poster comments on this thread as well as your own show the obvious fact that widgets on the home screen does influence the force close occurrences. Either way I hope google fixes this, I am had posted to your code.google thread a while back. Well...back to home++
[Nexus One General] midtoad:
I'm sure glad I found this thread. I recently purchased a new Nexus One here in Canada (they just went on sale two weeks ago) and immediately starting having the problem of frequent Launcher force-closes. I also noticed that Launcher would crash immediately when I tried to remove an analog clock widget (only one on the screen) when I long-pressed it.

Taking a cue from some of the posts, I removed most of the widgets and short-cuts from most of my home screens. I was able to delete all of them on most of the screens. However, on one screen I have 9 folders (with shortcuts in them), and two more launchers on the screen itself. When I tried to delete the 11th item (Calendar short-cut), Launcher FCed. I deleted another shortcut and was then able to delete the Calendar shortcut. After that, I went to the screen with the Clock widget and was finally able to delete it.

My hypothesis now is that having more than 10 items on a screen is a no-no.

EDIT: nope, that hypothesis is wrong. I limited the number of items per page to less than 10. Then I added the Facebook widget by itself to one screen, and when I tried to delete it, Launcher FCed. I then removed all widgets from other screens that were more than 1x1 in size, and finally I was able to delete the Facebook widget.
[Nexus One General] BrooklynAvi:
Don't bother trying to find a threshold for the DC. There isn't one. I tried a million different combinations over a month. Thy solution is simple: custom ROM with more memory. The Google Android team has even said that memory is the issue.

[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] dreamstate83:
Let me start by saying my Kaiser has been the most reliable and tweak friendly phone I've come across. About 2 weeks ago, however, I started having a strange issue with the boot up of the device from a power off state. Every so often if I boot it, the device hard boots from the internal rom, erasing everything I've changed since burning the rom onto it. I'm convinced it isn't the cooked rom because it worked fine formonths.

Has anyone come across this issue before? I'm more of a computer guy so forgive any illiteracy, but I'm worried it may be a storage problem of some sort.

If anyone has any idea of what is happening, or perhaps knows of a way to log what is happening, please let me know!
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] dcarr622:
After this problem started happening, did you try any other ROMs? If so, did they exhibit the same problem?
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] topgunn:
Not that I am the world's authority on it but seeing as how I managed to get my IMEI changed with a simple ROM flash...amongst other issues dealing with incomplete flashing etc, seems you could have a corrupted BL, pop into the bootloader screen and have a look if there is any txt on the top right corner....even though it's erratic it could be sorted by a stock reflash and then flashing your personal flavour of ROM...

Vague but hope it helps..
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] dreamstate83:
Haven't had the issue in about a week now (crossing fingers) but there was never any text in the top right. I may try reflashing to stock and then back again as you suggested tonight. I use spb backup so whenever the issue occurs im able to just run an exe and restart for full recovery but id rather not rely on that!
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] dcarr622:
Reflashing stock is definitely a good idea, for a while virtually any 6.5 ROM would have a chance of acting up if you didn't flash back to stock first.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] xredjokerx:
does anyone experience similar problems? when im in a call, any phone calls that i get automatically become missed calls for me.. sometimes if they call a second time, it'll go through and i'll get it, but i seem to always miss the first call...

im also wondering if this is an att issue or my phoneissue. also, im flashed to energy rom..
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] xredjokerx:
anybody? im missing a lot of my calls this way! nobody else using att or energy rom has this problem? ALL call waiting calls come through? :"(

[Nexus One General] waffles123:
Hey, this is my first post here. I have been very interested in the Nexus One ever since a few images were leaked a few weeks ago. Anyway, I'm a student and I would like to buy an unlocked Nexus so I can use the $60 unsubsidized plan. (500 minutes, unlimited text and web.) So we have att, and my dad was saying that there are also taxes and surcharges to the plan, which raises it by $10-$20. If that is true, can someone tell me what the total amount of money you pay for t-mobile with what plan? Because I really can't afford paying that much money a month. Alternatively, is there a cheaper plan that I do not know of? Is it possible to get a data only plan with a prepaid t-mobile sim? Thanks a bunch :)
[Nexus One General] uansari1:
If you call T-mo, they can tell you exactly how much it would cost per month with taxes and fees. That won't account for any overages though.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] InfrnalSky:
Sorry if this has been addressed. I tried to do a search, but nothing came up.

Is there a way to use the standard 6.5 program menu while HTC Sense is running? I'm running the new stock 6.5 ROM from VZW.

Thanks in advance!

[General Topics] dany74q:
Hello everyone,

I found a man called Kenny Taylor that sells phones,and I compared prices,

he`s prices are ridiculously low,

he`s saying that he works at chinamobile as a sales rep,

though I really couldn`t find any information about him or about phones in the site,I could manage to see only blackberry`s there.

He claims that the phones are brand new,in original box and with all accessories and they are not china clones.

He`s quotes for the phones I wanted -

iPhone 3GS 16GB (unlocked) - 300$

iPhone 3GS 32GB (unlocked) - 350$

HTC Hero - 250$

HTC Nexus one - 230$

International shipping via Fedex/USPS - 60$.

The prices here are 300$ less than the MSRP,and I don`t know if I should buy from him - maybe it`s a scam or something.

If anyone knows the person/company,and did buy from one of them - it would be nice to hear about that.

*if the thread is not in the right section of the forum,it would be nice if you could move it to the correct one*

**this thread is not about advertising the company/the guy,just for information matters**

Lots of thanks,

Danny.
[General Topics] mlalahoi:
100% SCAM!! Those prices are ludicrous, no way in hell are those real, most likely you will get nothing at all. and FYI, mobiles and pretty much all electronics are more expensive in China than in the US, and China Mobile shops are the MOST expensive places. STAY AWAY!
[General Topics] dany74q:
Thank you mlalahoi, actually I was going to buy the nexus one from him,

knew I should ask in here first.
[General Topics] dany74q:
Quick update -

I have got an answer from the company,I have to say that it sounds very believable..
[General Topics] DaveTheTytnIIGuy:
That's not believable at all if you know what to look for. First, the grammar and spelling is atrocious. Any real company would take the time to actually write their correspondence letters in a professional manner. Secondly, a legitimate, respectable company would never use Western Union to transfer money, no matter the amount. Every money transfer scam I've ever seen uses Western Union, since it's not traceable or reversable. I would not buy from any seller selling new devices at those rediculous prices; even if bought at wholesale prices, they would lose a lot of money selling that cheap. My advice is to stick with a reputable seller so you don't end up losing a few hundred dollars and not get anything in return, as I can guarantee you won't get what you order from these people.
[General Topics] dany74q:
Thank you for your answer Dave,I`ll stay away.

Once again - thank you all for your time.
[General Topics] kosmarnik:
It's not that bad, heh, but there are a few things you should keep in mind:

do not buy "genuine" stuff from China, either you're gonna get a fake or worse: nothing

go with established stores like DealExtreme or FocalPrice

use only PayPal, only scammers use Western Union

engrish is somewhat the norm, even with bigger stores :/

if you're getting a phone from there, choose one which has been properly reviewed, DealExtreme is very good in that regard as they have a very active forum and users , so you know what are you buying

So on my G1, you could just hold shift and use the touchscreen to select text to copy it. Is there similar functionality hidden somewhere on the nexus one?

its the same android OS, actually newer version. i doubt they would take a feature out.

Thanks! I tried searching on here and in the google help for the nexus one and couldn't find it anywhere.
[Nexus One General] eaglesteve:
I've only used the Android on Samsung Galaxy, and was frustrated by the fact that its user interface varies from application to applications. To do text selection, cut, copy for example, you press and hold until a pop up letting you select/select all/cut/copy. This is how it works in messaging and an application called Andoird Note. However, if you go to the brower and do the same, a pop up with ask you if you want to save the picture (although your finger is pointing not to a picture but to text). In order to perform text selection then copy in browser, you press the menu button first. Whereas pressing the menu button in the other applications will not let you have access to the text selection/copy function.

Is this version of Android still the same?
