Issue: Link in e-mails break & can't add pics to contacts - Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I have this reoccurring issue. It seems to happen after installing apps or certain apps.
Everything is working fine and affter I install some app from the market link in my e-mail stop working and I can't add pics to my contacts. Seem as if the little chooser pop-op (to add pics from the market or take a pic/ or to shoose with browser to use) doesn't appear. The background grays out but the picker never pops up. Seem to only happen after I've installed app and reboot.
I guess the app are somehow breaking these functions. I think App stacker and Cover Art Downloader are two of the offending apps (also some live wall papers).
Anyone else?
I've wiped my tablet about five times to day to fix this. Seems removing the app alone won't fix it.
I freaking afraid to add anymore apps to my Transformer now!
I'm unrooted and running the latest update and updated from 3.1 to 3.2 as soon as I got my tablet home yesterday.

The 3.2 update introduced a bug. For the email links, rotate the screen to make the app chooser list come up. Not sure about adding pics to contacts though, maybe someone else can chime in.

Thanks for the heads up.
I think it's the same bug. It just prevents the app chooser thing from poping up. Funny thing is it works at first. and breaks later on after a some re-boots.
Is this bug also present in the custom ROMs?

The bug is baked into 3.2. The bug reappears after a reboot.

well, I guess the work around will have to do for now.
I guess Google will eventually get around to fixing it.

Homescreen Icons Disappearing?

Is anyone else experiencing their icons on any of their home screens disappearing when attempting to move them? After long pressing, and "picking up" the icon, trying to move it to a new position will cause it to either revert back to the old position (meaning, simply can't move them) or just flat out disappear entirely.
Problem persists until rebooting, in which I find all the icons I attempted to move in one of my folders in my home screen.
Just adding to the slew of Gingerbread glitches. Anyone else?
Edit: I filed a report to Google: http://code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=13434 If you're also experiencing this, please visit the link and star, so more attention is brought to Google.
Really, no one else?
In general, sometimes icon apps refuse to be moved.
Yeah I'm getting something similar. Like when I try to add an icon on the bottom section closest to the trashcan, it automatically goes to the trash.
I even tried placing it on the corner but no dice.
After further experimenting, it seems that it only happens on the last screen on the right.
I tried the other screens, and was able to actually place the icons on the bottom section.

Oddly, it happens to me mostly on the screen farthest left. Ridiculous. The slew of glitches with Gingerbread continue.
If you haven't yet, please visit this report that I filed to Google and star it to garner more attention. http://code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=13434
Thanks.
I found out where all those icons went, they all showed up in a folder that I had on another screen which I named "sports" because it's where I keep the apps that I use for all my sports needs. When I opened it I saw like 10 google voice shortcuts because that's the app shortcut that I've been trying to add. Wired glitch.

Yep, I've experienced something similar. Disappeared icons appear in folders... randomly. Once again, anyone else also experiencing this, visit this link and star the Google report: http://code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=13434
Yes I have also had this issue but it only happens when I try to move an app. (I added a comment to the bug report and starred it)

Tiamat 2.0 Manta Ray Feedback

Since I can't yet post in the Dev section want to pass along my initial feedback on the new Tiamat ROM (2.0).
- First and foremost GREAT job. I was very disappointed with the HC 3.2 release and went back to Taimat 1.1 immediately.
- Would love to have back the new features from BRD's 1.1 mod pack. Screen capture and the enhanced Shutdown screen were awesome.
- Still can't connect my camera in Tiamat. Works in stock 3.2 . . . but no way am I going back there.
- Like others I really don't care for the new battery icon.
Again, terrific job Team Tiamat.

It's awesome! I don't mind the battery icon. Just add quick boot and there's a screen capture app (I forgot its name), so I don't care about mod pack (I didn't install it when I was on Tiamat 1.1).
I love the logical placement /naming of the MicroSD and the usbOTG.
All is smooth and working well. I added back ADW Ex launcher and that makes it just perfect.
just cant update maps very annoying.
Lordao
When you say that you can't "update maps", are you referring to Google Maps? Is it a question of not being able to update the version from Marketplace or something in the functionality of the Maps app not updating?
Thanks
Gordon
{Edit] OK, I have seen the answers from another thread. I guess that you can't update from the Marketplace.

To stop reboots set wifi sleep to never. This is a known issue/solution. There will be minimal battery impact.

US 3g - working very well. You mentioned ADW ex working for you... I can't play with the settings (1/2 the screen is blacked out)... is yours OK? The only other quirk I've seen is with Folder Organizer - the "tabs" at the top are no longer tabs, just overlapping words. Otherwise a great improvement over stock with full SD access! Thanks to the development.

If you want to save a little battery, and you're using setvou, just create a screen off profile with the min/Max set to the lowest CPU.

I hadn't noticed the ADW settings issue until I saw it mentioned this morning. Yeah, mine's affected too. It doesn't bother me because there's nothing that I need in ADW settings, but it's weird what does get affected. One of my favorite casual games used to work fine full screen but now it looks like it's phone sized and there's no zoom/stretch to fit setting available for that one app. Go figure?
Thanks for the quick response.
Any wifi users with stock 3.2 using adw ex? Are you experiencing this too?
I tried editing the packages.xml too. No Bueno..... Does anyone have a fix for this?

saw in the apps/themes forum were several others (stock 3.2) are experiencing the same issue... so looks like adw needs to update for 3.2 and not a tiamat issue

i updated today from german MZ601 xoom to 3.2 for Euro xoom (as described here... http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1183416).
first of all, thanks to all in volved for the work you guys put into this. i am impressed with the ROM. i really should not have waited that long for updating the stock honeycomb
the only thing is that my 3G won't work. or rather, it will if i allow roaming in the mobile network settings (even though my sim card should not allow roaming)... any pointers to what i might have done wrong (yes, i am pretty sure i screwed something up here )
thanks in advance for the help and thanks again for the ROM!!!

I have a Google Apps account using 2-step verification, and as soon as I enter my generated password, this error pops up:
Sorry! The process android.process.acore has stopped unexpectedly. Please try again.
I followed all the instructions to install the Tiamat 2.0 ROM (i.e. full wipe) and tried fixing permissions, etc. After doing this 3 different times, I believe there is a bug in the ROM handling/syncing Google accounts which use 2-step verification. If I remove the account from Settings, the error stops. (I would post this in the development thread, but alas I don't have enough posts to do so.)

Web Links Stopped Working

Strange- For some reason I can no longer open a link in an email. I tried in gmail and in Yahoo mail with my maildroid client. When I click the screen darkens (not completely) but nothing else happens. I tried a reboot but other than that I am at a loss.
Anyone have a clue?
Yeah, it's the list chooser 3.2 bug or whatever you want to call it. All you have to do is rotate the screen and the list chooser will appear. Make sure you have rotate screen checked on in the settings.

Yes, that did it. I hadn't heard about that one. Kinda sucks. So if I choose a default action I won't have the problem?
Thanks
That's correct because it won't invoke the popup list chooser or whatever you call it. Some things that bring it up you will have to do that with if it doesn't appear.
beats me a how they can put out an update with error like that. they have field testers? Anyway, thanks for the info!
It's because were in a tablet war right now and it's who can get the best out the first. Android figures they can drop Honeycomb on us and pick up the little things along the way. Little things may seem trivial but I consider nothing trivial. It's the little things that make the whole.
Anyways, glad your back up and going.

Hi @Flyview cool concept. You asked for feedback. I think you should allow the transitions to be slower 2 seconds is to fast.
I don't really understand the seconds of the transition is it random ?
You might want to show a small overlay as a tutorial on first start I found the one tap to pause which is nice and the two tap to like, but I liked a picture without knowing what the 2 tap would do and I don't know which one it was
I'd like a go back feature too, if you see a picture and right when it disappears you notice something but you can't go back, so just a see previous like a swipe right.
Living in Paris I learned with your app that most pictures on instagram are of the Eiffel tower
Getting a blank screen many times.

It will show a new picture whenever there is a new one available (up to minimum of every second), this will be configurable. I have to think of a good way to show previous pictures. I was thinking the old ones would become scrollable below but if someone new comes to the app they may think it's like Instagram where the point is to scroll down. And yes, intro overlay should be added as well. That's awesome about Paris haha!

btw does it work with gps only or can it localise based on network?

Hmmm that's not good. Do you have Google apps installed? What's your Android OS and ROM? It'll work with whatever location provider is available, GPS is not necessary.
Do you mean "Google apps device policy"? no
I run 4.4.2 on Asus A86 device
@Flyview nice app i have few suggestions
1. Ability to select the distance range for nearby pictures
2. Ability to click the user of the pic uploader, which takes directly to their profile so that we can follow them.
3. Custom picture refresh time.
4. Add an overlay which has buttons to Pause/Play Previous/Next buttons.
tried uninstall, reinstall and login.
there is an error warning warning telling me i have to enable cookies in my browser, or disable private mode? then this blank screen all the time. only way to reach login page is uninstall/reinstall

Oh ok that makes sense then. You need to enable cookies in Chrome (or whatever browser the Instagram login page is using). Otherwise LivePics can't log you in to your Instagram account.

well i checked and cookies are enabled in every browser installed: default, chrome, firefox, opera. not sure witch one instagram is using. will dig deeper in settings.
Same problem, I only get a white screen. Running KiKat on a stock TMobile Note 3. Tried clearing data. Hangs on login screen usually, then it will give the login/cookies error message. If I get past that, back to white screen. Tried uninstalling, then reinstalling - same results.
04/14 - update installed this week - fixed the problem - working fine now.

So do you ever see the screen where you enter username/password for instagram or does the message come before that? A screenshot would be great!

Google Customizable Search Widget

I'm at my whits end. My wife and I are both Google beta members. Same S7 Edge. Same version of the Google app and she has the customizable widget while I do not. I have tried everything. Uninstalling, updating, leaving and rejoining the beta, you name it. She did nothing. One day the three dot menu was there for her on the widget. I can't get it to happen on my S7 Edge.
Anyone else figure out how to make this happen? It's driving me crazy.

I heard its a very slow roll out (luck of the draw & youre unlucky).
Uninstall it then try this apk...if it's what you're looking for.
https://www.apkmirror.com/apk/google-inc/google-search/google-search-7-14-15-release/
Update--tried it myself and it won't install. Even tried disabling it. I wonder if anyone with an S7 has got the update.

I've tried installing APK's found on various sites that were supposed to install the widget but it just ends up being the same search widget. No three dots like my wife's. I don't understand how two people, in the beta program, with the exact same device and the exact same version (7.14.18.21.arm64), don't both have the same widget. This is bizarre.

Don't really want to do that. I don't want to have to configure it all again with what I like to see cards wise within Now as well as anything with the Assistant. I shouldn't have to reset everything to get the same widget my wife got with the same version of Google, without doing any of that. There has to be something we're missing here.
I also want to know how to get the 3 dots. Seems like there's no known fix

Tried this. Doesn't work
I've had three Google updates since I first posted this and I STILL do not have the customizable widget. WTF is Google doing?
No one? Did anyone else get the newly updated customizable widget? I've tried everything again. Uninstalling, reinstalling from links at various sites. Removing from beta, adding back. This is very frustrating.
Search bar customization
Same issue my wife and I both S7 edge have the customisation of option but my friend did the same procedure and he has an updated app but no customisation option I don't know why Google is doing this
I've had many updates to the Google app since I first posted this thread. Still no customizable widget. I guess Google is never going to release it to some people for some bizarre reason. I don't get their thinking on this. Why give it to some, update others, but don't include the customization???
what is the customisable widget? can i see a screenshot? now i want it too!
Hey still nothing for me too bruh.I want it too Friend in work who has S8 already use rounded version :/ **** is not fair.Google probably releasing this very slowly.Se we have to wait dudes
Any update for this thread? I had that rounded widget until today because i had to factory reset my s7 edge for various reasons and after that, widget dont let me customize it anymore. I have all google apps up to date and I joined to beta test but still nothing... Now I have different 3rd party google search, but I want that original to work again.. :/
Yup, I finally received it months ago. Just took time to show up.
