No more FC after latest update. Its great!

An update was released after I went to bed last night. Just installed it, no more FC's w/ dockrunner anymore. That was the only issue I was having with it.

Now my only gripe is I feel like the phone icon on the tray at the bottom should bring me to the dailer, not my contact list. Its something I can live with though since the dailer is just one other touch away.

Its in the preferences of Home++.

Click Menu > Preferences > Dock Icons (I think) > Dialer Button

Should give you the option of bringing you straight to the dialer.

My home++ seems to be allergic to dockrunner. It constantly fc's when I go back to the home screen while dockrunner is running. Anybody else with this issue?

Well, I'm getting FC alot more than ever before. Still not sure what the problem maybe. I'm not running dock runner but I do have it installed. Dunno...

mine takes me directly to the dialer.... make sure in the preferences under button preferences you have the 2nd option checked that says "phone button to dialer".

After updating to 0.8.0.7.3 last night I have had zero problems. Updated to 7.4 this morning and everything is still running smooth. Loving this app plus the developer's quickness on updates, especially for a free app.

You could enable the top bar, but there is no option to enable msg count & notifications on the powerstrip yet.

My home++ seems to be allergic to dockrunner. It constantly fc's when I go back to the home screen while dockrunner is running. Anybody else with this issue?

Mine wouldn't open dockrunner, nor will it switch to multimedia mode when I put it into the dock. I ended up having to factory reset and am just going to stick with the stock Home screen for now. I need the dock to work consistently. I can't seem to find others who are having the same issue as me though.

I was able to run dockrunner, but always FC'd when closing the app. Then, after FC'ing dockrunner, portrait and landscape would act screwy as well. Not sure this is an easy fix.

Edit: Just checked after latest Home++ update and now more FC's and landscape portrait appears to be back to "normal".

One thing I noticed when I got a FC i would just choose wait and it would work fine instantly without lag or anything

Dockrunner

When I put it in my dock at first I did get an fc... but now it seems ok.

Stability for me just took a nose dive with the past few updates tonight.

Seems the weather widgets app is now an issue as well. Starting to wonder if there is some sort of conflict between the two.

It doesn't work if you try to use your GPS location. If you type in a zip it works.

Home++ is really nice.

Weather widgets put out an update and works fine again. Even with the gps loc on.

The Home++ updates (think there were 3+ last night and possibly 1 this morning?) have caused it to get slightly better. I did notice it is still in beta. I'll temper my expectations for a bit. h34r:
