    Help slow to reconnect to mobile network after being on wifi

    Anyone using a third party launcher?

    I gave ADW EX a shot for a bit (since I use it on my tablet sometimes and I bought it for 10 cents the other day), but have come back to stock for now. ADW was surprisingly smoother than I expected it to be. Anyone else using third party launchers or is everyone still with the stock launcher?
