HOME SCREEN PROBLEM FOUND!!! teaching u HOW TO AVOID

hi all

 

i jus found y so many people always have home screen problem, whether in contact bar, basic or shortcut bar.

 

when u r transferring files from hp to pc or pc to hp, maybe u r using the mass storage mode instead of pc suite.

after transferring ur files, u wanna take out ur usb wire, but u cant find any icon or shortcut that can click and "safely remove ur hp from pc"

(like using a thumbdrive, we always safely remove the thumbdrive before plug out the USB from USB port)

 

so, instead of searching the safely remove thing, "you" just directly plug out ur hp usb from pc.

as a resutt, ur shortcuts or keyboard key icon and others in your homescreen doesnt have any response when u tap it. 

 

i faced many problems in this also, i have formatted my phone more than 4 times until i found this is the problem recently.

 

if anyone faced the same thing, and u know what has make ur home screen disable like above, pls comment it here.

 

for those who r "curious" about what im talking about... u can have a try - (be sure to back up b4 u try)  transfer 1 file using storage mode and then plug out ur usb directly after that, and some of the shortcuts in ur home screen will be disable.....

 

the only way is format phone, *#7370#

You should never unplug ANYTHING in mass storage mode without making it safe to unplug on the computer. That's a basic rule of using USB ports or memory card slots. If you unplug stuff from computers without making the connection safe to unplug, it can cause damage to whatever was plugged in, including loss of data.

 

The "make safe to uplug" icon is usually in the bottom right corner of the screen on most operating systems, click on it and it should give you an option like "Remove Hardware Safely" or "Unmount Volume". Select these options and you'll be able to unplug stuff without causing any damage.
