Hello all,
I have an HTC Magic, not yet 2 weeks old, and 9 times out of 10 when I return to the home screen (regardless of which screen I left it on last, left/middle/right) there are no icons on the screen and it can take up to 30 seconds for the icons to come back. I also cannot open the app list from the bottom, but I can still open the notification window, and hold down the Home button to access recently used applications. This often enables me to immediately launch Task Manager which never shows abnormal CPU usage at this time, there is seemingly no reason for the freezing.
I have a handful of popular apps that run in the background for various reasons, which don't show on Task Manager, these are:
We-Fi Connect automatic Wi-Fi (only cuts in when I turn on Wi-Fi via my Battery widget)
Screen On (set to keep screen on when using SyncMyPix because it messes up)
AutoLock (set to 1 min delay)
NetSentry
Screen On was only installed a couple of days ago and the problem was already present so I think this can be discounted, I think the main question is is this small selection of "background" apps too much for the phone to cope with, and thus causing the problem? I have disabled all widgets from all home screens to no avail. I have also uninstalled about 10 apps (albeit not ones that stay running) that I didn't want.
If anyone is able to shed any light on this it'd be greatly appreciated!
