Randomly unable to launch apps

---

OK - I'm starting to think I'm the only person that has this issue as I haven't seen it reported..

Sometimes, my Photon won't launch apps. Apps that are already running continue to run and I can switch back and forth between them, but trying to start a new app, it just doesn't start! Fix has been to either reboot, or have it go to sleep and wake it up 15 minutes later and try again. I've had it do this while a system task manager was running, so could see that there was plenty of free memory (RAM) available..

This includes launching apps from apps that are already running. i.e. - sometimes the browser doesn't launch from a search query. (mostly though pressing an icon on the STOCK launcher doesn't launch it..)

Anyone else see this?

Yeah mine seems to do it every once in a while too. I noticed that if you open the task manager and kill the market then whatever app your trying to open will end up opening up right after the market closes.

One of the reasons, I took mine back to the Sprint Store. When they fix it, I may buy it again... otherwise, my OG Evo is perfectly fine.

I can't believe more people aren't experiencing this. I do have LauncherPro installed but I don't think that's the reason. I can recreate this all the time. After installing an app through Market, I randomly can't open apps from the home screen.

Nothing happens unless I force close the Marketplace.

Any input on this?

The new market is absolute crap in my opinion, way to many FC's with it and it just doesn't do what it needs to. If I can go faster than it can download, select, etc then it needs to be reworked, also I get a lot of packet errors, have to download apps two or three times just to get it to install.. Great idea but it needs a patch bad!

I wouldn't see why this is a reason to take the Photon back and go back to an Evo, I mean the Evo is a cool phone but the hardware on it is sub par compared to this phone. I used to have one, and it doesn't even hold a candle. But to each their own.

I have only had this happen a few times I was told that it is associated with the battery manager settings if you don't use performance it can cause issues that was what was causing the muted audio issues the battery management settings put it on performance and I don't see the issue.

I just noticed my battery mode was set to Nighttime Saver. Hadn't even looked at this option. I went ahead and changed it to Performance Mode and will see if it happens again.

Thanks for the suggestion.

Mine does it too. After the update that just came out it seems to do it less now.

Just started having this issue today. App launches and others won't launch unless you kill the "hanging" app or the market.

I have no idea if this is a bug in blur or some kind of hardware defect (memory). It seems to be a software issue.

Problem persists after complete hard reset and app cache clear.

I'm using an 8 GB Samsung class 2 microSD card (from old Evo 4G). It has been reformatted.

Other symptoms: Back button and select widgets become unresponsive.

App count at time problem started: 72

yeah i have the same issues. not sure how to fix it. Usually a reboot does it but man i hate to reboot it all the time.
