This issue just started this afternoon, I have powered my Evo off for more than 5 minutes and then back on, but it is still happening.
How to cause the issue:
After launching ANYTHING that takes you away from your home screen (ANYTHING= any app, settings page, marketplace, email, games, tools, as long as it runs full screen), when you exit out by pressing the back button, using the apps menu quit or exit option, or by hitting the home button.
What happens:
I get a full screen white background with HTC logo (very rarely, ie 2 or 3 times out of 20ish, a black screen, no logo, but notification bar is visible), then my wall paper appears with a loading wheel while the icons all load up. Additionally I have found if I press the apps launcher button on the home screen as soon as it allows me to do so, I have to sit and watch it add apps to the list before I can select anything, this can take between 5 seconds and 25+ seconds, it seems to be taking longer the more I do it... (actually I can select an app while this is happening, but it may load a different one than the one I targeted, depending on if the one I targeted moves before the OS detects my touch). If I delay 15 or 20 seconds before hitting the apps launcher I do not see this happen. One time I did press the app launcher button immediately and after .5-1.5 seconds it closed itself and 30 seconds later when I launched it again I had to wait for it to fill with my apps. Additionally this kills some apps, ShootMe dies, but SystemMonitor and MyLookout do not.
Proof:
YouTube - Sprint HTC Evo 4G home screen recaches after closing full screen apps
What I have done with my phone:
I have no launcher replacement, I have no home screen replacement, I had not installed nor removed anything in the 3 or 4 hours before this issue started.
***update/reply to below... That is next on my list of things to do. Thanks ***
