(Sorry if this has been covered before - I couldn't find anything by searching!)
When I go into the default 'Messaging' app on my Galaxy S (to write a text message), it often quits out, more or less immediately back to the home screen.
It isn't like a force close or a crash/freeze, but as though someone has pressed the back or home button to return to the home screen. Sometimes I can go back in no problems, other times this cycle goes on for a few times until I can successfully open the messaging app long enough to write a message.
Does anyone know what causes this and if there is a workaround?
I'm running Gingerbread.XXJVQ and ADW EX as my custom launcher if that helps.
Wow. Third thread... Not quite the same but similar thing happening over here

Thanks for the pointer Talon26.
I'll keep an eye on that thread to see if any answers surface.

Recently, I've been getting a slight glitch (don't know if that's the proper word) after holding down the home button to view recent apps. After doing it, and pressing the home button to go back to home, I get the pop-up box to select the default home. It seems that every time I view recent apps, it erases the default home... I tried uninstalling home++, which is what I use, using a different home alternative, and the same happens.
Anyone else have this problem?
This might be a simple error on my part.
Edit- I check it to be default, but viewing recent apps seems to erase the default option.
When you press home there should be a box with default box to check. If check then the default or alternative home replacement should now be the default return when going home.
Checking the box doesn't do anything... viewing recent apps erases the default home setting.
Update
I wiped and am still getting the same issue.
I'm running cyanogen latest...
this started happening randomly, and I've tried to find the cause but haven't been able to...
is anyone else having this issue?

Same issue here on two phones I hadn't correlated it to the holding of the home button but I just tested it and that is the problem. This is annoying, I don't have many shared apps between the two phones either to blame.
Just as the title says, I'm not able to set my default home permanently, e.g. launcher pro instead of tw.
I hit the "set default home" button and it does register as my default home, however after opening certain apps or holding the home button(to bring up list of last opened apps) the save is gone and the pop up will prompt me to select my default home again.
A weird thing is that when I hold the home button the default home prevoiusly selected comes up as a choice as one of my last open aplications.
Itsreally getting irritating as I have to keep selecting my default home. This bug happened only after using jm5 + oclf for aroumd 2-3 momths and still persisted after I flashed jp6
Have you tried 'Home Switcher' from the Market?
Yes, however after setting the default home to my favourite launcher it will revert back to no default home again.
Anyway, I found how to fix it.
I froze the launchers I weren't using with titanium which then allowed to go back to one home only.
I assume this could be a hardware problem? My memory chip or something may have been corrupted after using oclf for too long

You cannot solve this type of problem with setting default home with any app like 'Home Switcher'.

No, it is just SW problem.

Yes, it is a possible "solution". But it cannot help you when you want to use more than one launcher for example. The reason for this problem is that you install in your phone some badly written application. The error is located in this bad app in AndroidManifest.xml file which is integral component of every application on Android. The developer of app defined there wrong <intent-filter> for activity which has something to do with the home app. See more about AndroidManifest.xml here: http://developer.android.com/guide/topics/manifest/manifest-intro.html.
I have found this thread because I have the same problem as you. I remember that it started to bother me one week ago. I didn't find any solution, so I must go on my own way. When I get a time to solve this bug I decided to start with frozing every application which I have installed last week. And guess what happened? The problem disappeared. Then I defrosted just one frozen app after another and every time I test it with long press and then immediately with short press of home button to see if setting of the default launcher is still persistent. If it was ok I repeated this procedure and defrosted one more app and within a few iterations I quickly identify app which was source for this error. It was a graphic calculator which even doesn't use any permission, so who will guess that such an innocent application could behave so badly and could have deleted the default launcher setting? I definitely won't. Finally I froze only this badly behave app and the error has gone away. I informed the developer and now this calculator app is corrected in a new update so I can use it again without any collision with my launcher apps.
long story short, my bro did somethin w/ my phone & it stopped working...only worked shortly after battery pulls
so i factory reset and it works but im stuck at setup accounts and it keeps looping when i set up gps and goes back to backup assistant. Any way to get by this? the error says My Accounts (process com.motorola.setup) has stopped
also, i know the phone is working cuz i can get online(by using voice serch), pull notif bar down and go into wifi, gmail, & texts, etc
anyone???

Do you have the desk dock? If you do, plug it in, and go into productivity mode. There is an app drawer there. Go to the market, and install your launcher of choice. Actually, if you do voice search, look for a launcher pro apk. That'll work too.
anyone got a solution? please help.. even i am stuck at the same spot... dont know what app's i need to RE-install...
thanks
If you can get to your dialer (I had to use the Visual Voicemail setup to pull it up, then when it closes back to setup accounts, I held down home to get to the recent apps screen, select dialer from there) use the mic button to access voice commands. Say "go to market" it will pull up market. Download a different launcher, and then when you hit home, it will give you the choice to go back into Setup or your new launcher. Go to the launcher. You can take it from there...
Was the phone rooted? If so - did you remove any apps from /system/app?
Yes and yes. I had backed them up with TiBu, but the restore didn't work as planned so I found a dump of the system/app folder here: http://www.droidforums.net/forum/droid-3-hacks/167677-removing-bloatware-2.html#post1705285
yea i figured it out by trial & error Sat with a lil help from techdigital on another forum...altho i hadnt removed anything...stupid ass setuo apk lol
that helps... yay.
By the way if you tap each of the corners of android welcome screen starting from the top left (haven't tested on d3 but works on others) in order it bypasses setup altogether.
I am having this problem where while I am using the keyboard in any given application and while typing the application randomly closes while I am typing.
Anyone noticed this?
EDIT:
Never mind...I think I was hitting the home button or back button...I am still not used to the on screen buttons...!! LOL
I'm on Lollipop stock for VZW.
Over the past couples days, my back button has started to go to home instead of back about 75% of the time. For example, if I go to a site in Chrome, and hit back to go to the previous site, it instead takes me to the home screen. Or if I open an image in Reddit News, and hit back to go to the post list, it takes me to the home screen. Open a text in Textra, hit back to go to the conversation list, takes me to the home screen.
I can even open the app back up, and it will take me to the last screen that I wanted to go back from. I hit back again and it closes it again! Open it again, closes it. Open it AGAIN, and it will go back to where I want it to go.
This is driving me insane!!! I really don't want to factory reset but I'm afraid I'll have to.
