LG Spectrum Jumping To Home Screen

I've got a problem with my LG Spectrum. I've had it about 3 or 4 weeks now. It keeps jumping to the home screen. In other words, whatever app I'm looking at or have open, it will just exit to the home screen. It's an intermittent problem. It doesn't happen all the time, but when it does it will often happen several times over and over again. It exits, I go back into the app. It exits again a second later. I go back into the app, etc.
I haven't been able to find any particular pattern to it. It can happen in any application. It can happen while I'm typing, swiping or just looking at something. It can happen if the phone has been on for hours, or if the phone was just barely turned on and I'm in my first application. It never shows my any error whatsoever. However, about 25% of the time I will see for a brief flash the Car Mode screen popup or the Car Mode icon appear on the status bar at the top. So, I'm guessing it has something to do with the Car Mode being activated inadvertantly/incorrectly, but I'm not even sure how the phone decides it's time to start Car Mode yet. Every other phone I've ever had you started Car Mode manually.
The phone is not rooted and the latest OTA updates have been applied.

bblake8480,
Good morning! I hope to make your experience with the LG Spectrum better. I know its no fun to have issues with your phone. I agree with mortb, that it may be a corrupted application causing these issues. An easy way to check this is to enable 'Safe Mode'. This allows the phone to run without interference from the Market/Play applications. I recommend trying it for a few hours to see if the issue persists. If not, then you know it's being caused by an application and you can begin removing any new apps or recently updated apps. If all else fails, a 'Hard Reset' may be necessary to wipe the software clean totally.
Please advise the outcome of these steps so I and the community can assist further.
Thanks,

Send Button Auto Jumps to Home Screen

I am having a problem replying to an email. For some reason, and this is happening with a specific email, when I try to reply to an email, I can type out the whole message, but as soon as I hit "send" the phone automatically jumps to the home screen with all the iphone apps. It doesn't do this if I try to reply to any other emails or compose an email initially.
Can anyone tell me why this is happening?
Thanks.

You are describing an iPhone application "crash" I have had it happen to me NUMEROUS times, usually when the application you are using is processor intensive, it appears. I'm sure most people have experienced this as well, as it happens to me frequently. I read some people discussing that it only happens when you have a lot of music/video synced from iTunes. I can go with that, since it only happened to me after I filled up over half of the storage space, and it didn't happen when I had almost all space free. I'm sure it is fixable via a software update from Apple...it better be, we are all waiting.
The good thing about this is, unlike an application crashing on a computer, all of the data is saved and restored (web pages, map locations, and as you described, a composed email.)
Apple: Let's fix this one, please?

HT1430 iPad 3 keeps jumping back to home screen ...

iPad 3 keeps jumping back to Home screen .

Your apps are crashing. Try some basic troubleshooting steps and see if they help at all.
Quit all apps completely and restart the iPad. Go to the home screen first by tapping the home button. Double tap the home button and the task bar will appear with all of your recent/open apps displayed at the bottom. Tap and hold down on any app icon until it begins to wiggle. Tap the minus sign in the upper left corner of the app that you want to close. Tap the home button or anywhere above the task bar. Restart the iPad.
Restart the iPad by holding down on the sleep button until the red slider appears and then slide to shut off. To power up hold the sleep button until the Apple logo appears and let go of the button.
Or .... Reboot the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons.
Start with those two things and see if the apps quit crashing - or see if the crashes are less frequent.

Galaxy S3 home screen button- home screen jump

I've been trying to search for answers to this but haven't found any solutions. I've had my phone for just over 2 weeks ago and about a week ago I noticed that whenever I press the home screen button, my wallpaper picture "jumps" from left to right, and when it does, the picture is cut off and the screen is partially black. It is hard to take a screen shot of this but this is the best I can explain of the situation. It does this for a few seconds, then my home screen picture comes back. I've tried using the stock photos that come with the phone and the live wallpapers but the same thing still occurs.
Is this the "lag" everyone is talking about? I've tried turning off S-Voice using the home button, restarting my phone, and taking out the battery. Nothing seems to work. Do I need to reset my phone? Kinda disappointing if I have to since I just got it.

Hi ellej5. Other than this hiccup with your wallpaper, I hope you're enjoying your new S3. I wasn't able to find any known issues of the S3 causing the wallpaper to lag while it's loading or jump around like you've described. Wildman had a few good questions though. Since this started about a week ago, I would actually start by uninstalling the application(s) you downloaded right before this started happening. (Settings > Application Manager > from the All tab, select an application > Select Uninstall. It's very possible that an application is causing interference with the normal process of the device. If you have installed any third party theme apps or launchers, I would also suggest to remove those too.
You can also try putting the phone into Safe Mode http://bit.ly/NnpVJG before you completely reset the phone. This will stop all the third party applications from running and allow you to run the phone a little more basically.

I have only recently got my iphone, and the screen won't rotate in Safari or messaging. It works fine in games (eg Doodle Jump). The screen portrait lock is off, and i have tried turning it on and off and updating it. Why wont it rotate?

I have only recently got my iphone, and the screen won't rotate in Safari, the ipod, photos or messaging. It works fine in games (eg Doodle Jump). The screen portrait lock is off, and i have tried turning it on and off and updating it. Why wont it rotate?

Next step is to Restore it in iTunes from your backup. If that does not work they try Restoring it as a new phone. If still no go it is a hardware failure and you will need to get it serviced.
And you are not showing the hardware lock icon on the top right of the home screen?

When viewing websites or iTunes my iPad sometimes goes to the home screen.

My iPad sometimes jumps back to the home page when on iTunes searching music or on safari searching websites does anyone else have this issue?

Your apps are crashing on you. Sometimes these basic fixes will help.
1. Reboot the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons.
2. Quit the offending app completely and restart the iPad. Go to the home screen first by tapping the home button. Double tap the home button and the task bar will appear with all of your recent/open apps displayed at the bottom. Tap and hold down on any app icon until it begins to wiggle. Tap the minus sign in the upper left corner of the app that you want to close. Tap the home button or anywhere above the task bar. Restart the iPad.
Restart the iPad by holding down on the sleep button until the red slider appears and then slide to shut off. To power up hold the sleep button until the Apple logo appears and let go of the button.
3. This may help with Safari. Go to Settings>Safari>Clear History, Cookies and Data. Restart the iPad. Restart the iPad by holding down on the sleep button until the red slider appears and then slide to shut off. To power up hold the sleep button until the Apple logo appears and let go of the button.

How do I get my apps to my home screen when it's in my setting

My Facebook app is in my setting but it's not on my home screen... When I go to App Store it says it's already down loaded... How do I get it to my home screen??

Facebook is in the settings whether you have the app or not, so that's not a surprise.
Search for the app. Swipe down from the middle of the home screen to reveal the Spotlight Search at the top of the screen. Type in Facebook. The app should appear in the search. If it is hidden in a folder, that folder will be shown to the right of the app name in the search.
if it's not in a folder, just start swiping from screen to screen to look for it. You can move it to the first screen by tapping and holding down on the icon until it wiggles, then move the app to the edge of the screen - about halfway over to the next screen - and the app should jump to that screen. Tap the home button when you are done moving the app.

Ipad is switching from home screen to power up screen

My ipad is jumping back and forth from the home screen with the slider bar to the power on screen with the apple logo. it is completely unresponsive and when I do a reboot (holding power and app button for a few seconds) it powers off and powers off. When I restart it does the same thing again. any suggestions?

Actually, if you're ever stuck, with the option to wait around while a big project opens to reselect and quit, or not, you can edit the XML directly in Textedit... In App Support/Color, the prefs file contains an entry like <singledisplaymode> (sorry I'm on an iPad ) which is Boolean - set it to true or false, save it et voilà!

HP Nbook touchpad leaps to the Windows 8 "home" screen w/ slightest motion - need advice

I am getting so weary of this. I hardly touch the mousepad to do a normal movement and I am hijacked to the Windows 8 home screen and must frequently press the "window pane" key to get back. Is there a setting I have somehow missed. My mouse settings are just as I had originally set them but I am still dealing with this. Any help out there?

Hello rudiger,
You’re having a problem with the screen jumping back to the windows 8 home screen.
This is actually and new feature that Microsoft thought of, to help people multitask.
Go to the start screen and type synaptic. (When you are on the start screen as soon as you begin to type it will bring up a search box.)
On the right had side select settings.
On the left hand side choose settings.
Uncheck the box that says enable edge swipe.
This will make it where the mouse will not scroll between programs.
Clicking the White Kudos star on the left is a way to say Thanks!
Let me know how everything goes.
Have a good day.

1 - Home screens, 2 - icon name change

2 questions -
1 - Is there a way to move an icon from the 2nd home screen to the 1st home screen? I can't seem to get it to work. They wiggle and move, but won't make the jump back to the primary home screen.
2 - Is there a way to change the name of an icon after it has been made? One of mine is too long and I'd like to shorten it.
Thanks in advance

1 - Is there a way to move an icon from the 2nd home screen to the 1st home screen? I can't seem to get it to work. They wiggle and move, but won't make the jump back to the primary home screen.
Yes. Just push the icon way to the left of the screen. It should move over there.
2 - Is there a way to change the name of an icon after it has been made? One of mine is too long and I'd like to shorten it.
No, you need to delete it and make another one, if you are referring to bookmark icons.

Did you check the Zoom setting?
Have you tried a reset (reboot)? Hold HOME and SLEEP until an Apple logo appears.
If it isn't Zoom and a reboot doesn't help try Settings/General/Reset - Reset all settings

FIX: IPad turns on and off in a loop during charging, boots to home screen and reboots

Ok, after having my ipad 2 3rd Generation for about a year, its bombed out on me,playing on it until battery drained. Didn’t think anything of it, plugged into charge thinking it would be charged by the morning. This didn’t happen.
It was stuck on the apple sign, booted to home screen and switched off again due to low battery. Continued on this loop for the whole day……
I searched the internet and it seemed all doom and gloom that I would need to by another one. Then I stumbled upon a forum where the advice so far has worked for me.
The reason why it gets stuck in a loop is because the IPad was not shut down manually, so therefore keeps trying to boot up soon as it has some battery power. Problem is, its gone beyond a point and now and there isn’t enough battery life to boot to main or home screen after apple logo.
The remedy is quiet simple, follow these steps to get the ipad to home screen to power it down so it has sufficient time to charge up and boot normally and get off the endless loop.
Plug into wall socket to get it charging.
Wait until the apple logo appears and wants to boot up.
QUICKLY hold down home button and reset/ sleep button at the same time until it reboots.
Release buttons now. should now power down and reboot
Repeat step 3 at least 30 to 40 times which is about 10 minutes in duration everytime you see the logo appear on the screen.
Now Let IPad boot up fully, should see home screen with about 2% battery life
QUICKLY hit the rest/ sleep button down for about 2 to 5 seconds.
Swipe the screen to when slider appears to switch off the ipad.
This will now power down the IPad which now will not reboot by itself so it can now charge without any interruption’s.
Allow battery to charge for a least an hour or two without trying to put it on.
Switch the IPad on
You should now have about 10 to 20% battery Life
Power it down again by holding the reset/ Sleep button down again and swipe the screen to power down, let it charge fully to 100% now which will take few hours
Enjoy your IPad again
Lesson learnt. When your battery power is low, dont wait for it drain completely, rather power the pad down manually and let it charge when there is only about 2 to 4% battery life left.
Hope this guide helps people with the same problem as I had. Took me about 2 days of research and searching until I found a solution that worked. Hopefully this will assist anyone going through the same pain, and possibly not have to buy another one which seems to be the case when people take the pad to an istore with the same issue.
Cheers,

I tried to restore using recovery mode it give error 4013, also tried the same with iMac with my friend again error.
Let me give little more details:
1. After iOS 8.2 upgrade, 2-3 days often 3-4 times a day it used to restart again and again then will get Home screen.
2. Also at times it happened, it boots again and again left the device as it is then it comes to Home screen.
3. Lastly it did the same behavior but it did not boot up, but keep booting again and again apple logo is shown then restart
4. Tried to get into recovery mode, windows PC error 4013, now in the recovery mode.
My Battery was in good condition, when it happened it was ~80% now may be very less did not charge until now.
I read somewhere in the forum keep re-starting manually again and again, someone said since it did not shutdown properly there is a problem, please help.
The device is 1.2 yrs old ONLY.
Best regards
Prabu

Customizing the Home Screen Status Bar

I know right now that the ability to customize the home screen is more or less limited to the arrangement of the icons, right?
What I want is the ability to place a 'new mail' or 'new sms' icon at the top of the home screen, along the status bar where the time and signal strength are currently displayed.
That way I can see at a glance if I have new messages, even when the phone is locked, by hitting the unlock button at the top of the phone.
Luckily the SMS preview gives me that status, but I still need to manually unlock the phone with the passcode before I can see if I have any new email. I don't use an audible alert for incoming email.
I'd also prefer the option to have new sms messages neither display a preview nor even display a name on the home screen.
In short, I want more control over the behavior and display of the home screen. I've seen some rumblings that the Apple SDK disallows interaction with the home screen. If so, iPhone users are completely at the whim of Apple to include new home screen functionality.
I'm not happy with that arrangement.
Coming from the Windows Mobile word, I'm finding Apple to be a very closed system. I knew ahead of time that there would be some diminished flexibility, but I didn't expect this much of a drop.

Apparently you do not have a question, but it seems that you have some feedback for Apple. As this is a users forum, populated by iphone users -not Apple, perhaps you need the address for feedback that Apple does receive:
