"Already in use"

My phone is giving strange errors today - when running things like Favourites, Menu, etc. I get an "Already in use" warning with a flashing red exclamation mark, but then the app runs fine. Anyone know of any obvious solutions, short of a full reset?

Phone was fine until yesterday...

I've tried turning it off and back on again, but to no avail.

Getting similar issues with the Psiloc apps, but also in all other apps too (eg TodayView)

having error like "already in use" meaning to say you left some application open, u must close application after using if you want to jump to another app. you dont need to keep re starting your phone...

hello, the thing to do is installing fexplorer, then you go to c en do "find" type there the filename like "game.sis" fexplorer will find the file and then you delete the file.
I had the same problem and it's solved now.

good luck

Ah, but I was getting this having selected Favourites straight after a reboot - ie the first time it was opened....

However, it resolved itself after about 3 or 4 reboots. I have also upgraded the software I felt was causing the problems, and all seems better now.

And things like Favourites and Menu are designed to be kept open, so it was certainly an obscure problem.

Not sure that's going to work for Favourites or Menu though is it?
