Help! "Activity TwLauncher (in process com.sec.android.app.twlauncher) is not responding."

Hello,

I have the Samsung Fascinate phone and I've had it for almost a month now. I recently updated my phone with the new software that was pushed to my phone. After the update, I began to receive the following message: "Activity TwLauncher (in process com.sec.android.app.twlauncher) is not responding. I'm not able to slide the pages on my phone like I used to; the phone freezes at times too. What should I do? Please help if you can. I greatly appreciate it.

Sorry to learn of this difficulty. I would like to provide you with some troubleshooting steps for a resolution. To troubleshoot, tap Menu>Applications>Manage Applications>tap on the Running tab, and force close all applications, widgets, etc. This will clear all cache.

If you have any additional concerns, please let us know.

Thank you very much!

That sounds like you are having trouble with the TouchWiz UI.

Did you do a factory reset after you received the update to FroYo ( Android 2.2)? To completely clear the issue you are having it might be worth completing one now if you haven't already done a factory reset.

Sorry you're having this problem. After a bit of research, I found this is an issue that has been reported about all Samsung Android devices, across all providers, which is normally caused by a corrupt widget.

To troubleshoot, tap Menu>Applications>Manage Applications>tap on the Running tab, and force close all applications, widgets, etc. Once completed, launch the widgets again, as this would have cleared all the cache resolved the matter.

Thanks!

Hi, I have the Galaxy S. The Task Manager shows 0 applications open but I still always get the Tw launcher is not responding message. Since the system update on May 25th nothing works! I have done a reset and even closed down and taken the battery out for a couple minutes.

My Fascinate started doing this yesterday and today I can't do anything with my phone, except turn it on.
