[Q] QR Reader Crashing - Captivate General

Whenever I attempt to run a "specialty" camera application (Barcode Scanner, CamScanner, QuickMark), the application crashes immediately. This was not a problem in the past, but started yesterday for no apparent reason. The stock camera application still works fine.
I already attempted to fix the permissions, but it didn't seem to help. I also tried to restore backups of previous versions of the crashing applications, but this didn't help either.
Any ideas for why this happening?
Thanks for any help you can give me.

Need more info to help. Rom? 2.1 or 2.2? Did you replace the email app as this is normally the issue

Running Darky's v9.02, which is 2.2.1.
The email app, really? Why does that affect the camera apps?

To tell the truth as to why i am not sure but this was an issue with a few roms that if you used an email app that was not compatible then the bar coder app would crash and it would crash as well if you switched to video recorder it would also crash. Did you change the email app or uninstall it?

Once of the first things I did was uninstall it. Video recording still seems to work fine.
Will reinstalling the email app fix things, or does this seem to be a case-to-case problem?

Yes reinstalling the email apk should fix it as it as on all the roms with this issue. If you cant find it have a look at the Phoenix thread and grab the email zip from the FAQ

Reinstalled stock email, rebooted the phone and now everything works fine.
Thanks for this, I never would have guessed that a missing email app was the problem here. Strange bug.

I know I would not have thought so either but my guess is that it is wrapped up in the email app for sending qr codes or something of that nature. Glad you got it fixed.

Hmm, Will do.
Tho if he is mean im going to hunt you down! lol
No problems here either, running the latest one from the android market.
i did have a weird problem at the very start when i got my Nexus One and rooted it, installed the first betas of CM Handcent would automatically move EVERYTHING to blacklist (even my wife... well...) and for days i thought all my friends had deserted me.
I uninstalled Handcent and reinstalled and it hasn't done that since. -- maybe fix permissions helped too
Try going into settings apps and see if you can clear data, that fixes lot of probs with apparently IMHO
Uninstall/reinstall
I have also sometimes FC with the latest version of Handcent. Mostly when i'm doing something in the settings.

stock email client crashing

Is anyone using or having issues with the stock email application? I am using it for exchange and i cannot download attachments, reply, forward, or compose emails. I am stock and never installed the update.
After trying to do any of the above, the program locks up then a popup comes up that says "unfortunately, Email has stopped"
any ideas?

I'm using the stock client with Exchange Server 2010 and don't have any issues. During setup did you answer "yes" to all the security and permissions pop-ups? It might be something on the server side. Does your IT department require a client certificate?
Hi,
I am not the creator of this thread, but I am facing the same issues with an Exchange 2007. I dont believe it is server-related. Everything is working fine on my GTab 8.9, my Galaxy Nexus and my Note (the phone). Only the Note 10.1 is having issues. It is also working fine four a few hours after a tull wipe and stops working later. Tried this three times, always the same result. Also noted down all the steps I was doing before it stopped b7t could not find anything. Last time it just stopped working after a longer time of inactivity.
It is always the same thing with this Samsung stuff... Changing anything with there TouchWiz, leaving a perfectly working system (stock Android) unstable and buggy. Had those exchange issues on nearly every new Samsung device, it always took two or three firmware updates after it was fully working.
Update: To give you some more information. Everything is syncing fine... mails, tasks, appointments, contacts. I am also perfectly able to create and edit contacts, appointments and tasks. But whenever the mail application is trying to open the editor window (so on new, reply and forward) the whole mail app simply quits.

I agree with this, also i cant open attachments. I set up my gmail account on the stock email program (i use gmail app) just to see if it was exchange or the program in general. It did the same thing with gmail. It is the program that is crashing.
Not trying to throw salt in the wounds but i also have 4 emails running thru the stock email- including my exchange which works perfect- everything syncs and no issues like you are exeriencing. I also had this same setup without issues on the 16g GTnote before i just exchanged it for my current 32g. no issues on either.
Let us know if you figure it out- good luck.

question to all with working or not working email. did you install the update or not? I do not have the update installed and my email isnt working. I just deleted everything, wiped email data and reset it and still isnt leting me send emails or open attachments
I found the solution! It's working for me and it is reproducible: Disable "force 2d gpu rendering" in the developers settings (sorry, don't know how it is named inthe english version, I am German ).
I dont think it was the update- because on my 16g i had the update and email worked, On the new 32g no update and it works.
Also, i can confirm as posted in the other - i do not have the force gpu 2d or whatever it is -checked... so maybe thats the deal.

Thank you so much. It works. Good fix. :good:
Problem remains...
Hi! I'm having the same problem... However, I already the force gpu rendering disabled and it crashes anyway. I turned it on and it's the same. Already cleaned all data, deactivated and activated, etc and nothing. It always crashes... Any idea?
Ah! The same happened with YouTube after installing the update...
And it's my second tablet, the first one did the same and I was hoping it could be some hardware malfunction... I guess not...
Thanks!

I think I got it!
I did a factory format and reboot and tried the email client. It worked all ok, no crash until here. When I installed Flash from Adobe, the latest version, it started working oddly... Crashed and even the touch was not accurate as before.
So I rebooted it once again and didn't install Flash anymore. Until now it's ok, maybe there is some conflict... The truth is that Samsung and Adobe don't include N8000 in their list of devices to run flash. 4.0.X up won't anymore.
Thanks!

[Q] cant access dialer or contacts

hi everybody!
im having problems with my moto g again. the last thing i did was installing textsecure because i had problems with threema. i think all those problems relate to using davdroid (instead of google) to sync my calendar and contacts.
anyways, after installing textsecure when i try to open my contacts or my dialer it pops up for a second (and it looks totally normal showing my contacts etc.) and then shuts down immediately (like a crash). in recent apps the preview window for either one is just black...
im not really sure where to begin trouble shooting or how to fix this. is there a way to log whats going on there to pinpoint whats causing this or is there a better way to sync stuff (using the caldav standard). although im not 100% sure davdroid is the cause for this it also could be a xprivacy setting but neither the dialer nor the contacts are restricted by it in any way.
i uninstalled textsecure and after a restart everything seems back to normal again, but i need a working messenger and i'd like it to be encrypted (no hangouts or whatsapp for me).
any recommendations on where to start or working alternatives would be greatly appreciated!
thanks for reading and kind regards

What runtime are you using? If you are not running Art might want to send a bug report to the developer on your issues. Might be a compatibility issue with the phone or davdroid.

im not really sure what 'runtime' or 'art' would be, but im running stock rom (4.4.4, rooted) if thats what this is referring to!?
a bug report might be a good idea anyways ^^
thanks for your input!
edit:
oh yea, i forgot to mention: i reinstalled textsecure without the sms-functionality and now it seems to run just fine (dialer and contacts arent crashing anymore)! maybe this helps somebody for now...

Push Notification of Facebook Official App Not Working

I use Samsung Galaxy Note 4 SM-N910C that is rooted and running official marshmallow. All was going well for 6-7 months. But suddenly I am not getting push notification from the facebook app for the last month. The only time I am getting push notification from the facebook app when I try to login from another browser and a code is needed from code generator. Push notification from other apps, email, instagram etc are working. I have tried clearing data of the app, turning off platform, uninstalling greenify. Butnothing worked. What to do now? Please help.
Hi there so generally the facebook app is unliked around here because it takes up a huge amount of RAM. Many people here prefer to use an alternate client for facebook I've heard of some I think you should try some out if you feel you have done everything to activate push notifications. Here is a rddit link in case you are wondering about some opinions https://www.reddit.com/r/androidapps/comments/3k2ol0/facebook_app_alternative/

I wouldn't now since I don't really use Facebook. Have you tried restoring a backup through titanium or some fashion?

There actually might be a setting that might have to do with this however we could have a better idea if you tried using the Facebook app on another device. Have you tried doing that?

No, I don't have another android device. When I use swipe pro, push notification works in that app. and in facebook app itself, for code generator notification and someone is live notification, push notification works immediately. Someone told me that this is facebook's problem. He faced the same problem. After his reporting for 2 times to facebook, they resolved it some days later.
Then you should probably contact Facebook if its a problem on their end that way you can now for sure if you can fix it.

CM 14.1 Google Camera crashing on startup

I like Cyanogenmod, but the big issue I have with it is it's 'incompatibility' with Google Camera; it crashes every time I open it.
On stock ROM (RUU) the camera works just fine. The main difference I notice just before it crashes is that it uses the new look as seen on the Pixel/Nexus phones.
The other issue is not being able to restore from a backup when setting it up.

Thanks. I didn't get a chance to post back yet, but I tried the paid version of Snap-HDR that I've owned for some time and it works okay after disabling the stock camera app. It works, so far as I can tell, but it had force-closed on me a couple of times. I might try wiping and reinstalling with a slim set of Gapps without the camera app. Then install Snap-HDR as the primary. It is MUCH better than anything CM or Google have introduced to date.
Will post back the results.
