With the 1 Cick Root for Droid 3, we can root the official Verizon Gingerbread update. If like me you use a bloatware freezer, the contacts in the dialer may not let you call your contacts. Instead, when choosing the contact, the screen closes to your home screen. If you have this problem, unfreeze the Yahoo! Authenticator. For whatever reason, this causes your contacts to close out. Hope this helps someone else.
I registered just to say that I had the same exact problem, and thank you for posting a fix for it.
Much appreciated
Thx a mil, i kinda went on a freezing spree with the bloatware.

After Sprint WM 6.5 upgrade adding Facebook as "favorite contact" causes lockups
Upgraded my Sprint Touch Pro 2 to Windows Mobile 6.5 from 6.1 last week. Now when I add a linked Facebook contact to my "favorite contacts" tab the TouchFlo interface locks up. Only way to fix is to remove the contacts or not link them to Facebook.
Took me 2 times of applying the 6.5 firmware update before I was able to nail it down to linked Facebook contacts on the favorite contact tab. Now that I've figured this out I'm not using the favorite contacts feature any longer and my lockups have disappeared!
Anyone else have this problem? If so were you able to find a fix?
Tried calling Sprint on the issue but apparently the tech support guys are new to this phone also. They were going to call me back but never did. Guess I'll have to try again another day but in the meantime thought I'd hit up the XDA forum.
bump......
I am using the same Manila, but cooked ROM, and it seems to work just fine.
Works fine with my Sprint HTC TP2 WM 6.5 phone

Well, I was sure I found an error. Still continues. If I add a contact NOT linked to Facebook no problem. If I add the contact AFTER linking to Facebook it starts to lock up.
I think I'll call Sprint back again. Confused...
When you first add contacts from FB, it does lock up for a min or two depending on how many contacts you have. But once it syncs all, it should be just fine.
If nothing works, try a Hard Reset, and start over again.

I added a new FB contact today and it locked up. I gave it about 15 minutes and then gave up since it was unusable. Did a soft reset and removed the FB contact. Now all is well.
I applied the firmware update twice. The first time I loaded everything and it was locking up. I couldn't figure out what the problem was. I then reloaded the firmware again and took things step-by-step until I figured out what was causing the problem.
So, with that said, I don't think a hard reset will work considering it was locking up right after the firmware upgrade.
sorry to semi-hijack this thread
does anyone know how to update the facebook integration password - i changed my password and now I can't upload photos through the HTC Sence and my contact's albums/status updates will not refresh
I do not have non-alphanumeric characters in my password
and I am using the stock sprint rom
Thanks
I recently just upgraded from CM 5.0.8 to CM6 RC1 on my G1. I had to wipe and reflash because I noticed my Google apps were missing and I tried to flash the gapps zip and I got stuck on the Touch Android to Continue screen. So I reflashed CM6 and the Google apps after starting over from scratch with a fresh wipe, but now my email app doesn't work! It worked one time, it let me configure my Yahoo account and I got to my inbox, and then I closed it. I try to go back again and I get the FC message every time now! I've tried clearing the application data, rebooting, removing battery and rebooting, etc, nothing works. Any help with this?
Also, thanks to the new 2.2 system on CM6, there's an annoying grey square next to messages that I've sent in Messaging that's supposed to be my profile picture? I don't use gmail often, so I don't have a profile pic on it, so it's pretty pointless to me. I've googled this, and everyone says to set my phone number in the SIM using an old phone, but I don't just have old phones laying around like that. >_> Also they said after that you sync it to your gmail again or create a "Me" contact in your phone or something and you can setup your picture from there. I think the whole contact photo thing is annoying in general, so isn't there a way to just plain get rid of the grey square or disable contact photos in Messaging altogether?
I'm not sure if this is the right section for this since I didn't exactly see any "Android Hacking Help" forums or anything, but if anyone can help, I appreciate it! Thanks!
Can't anyone help? I solved my messaging problem by just switching to Handcent SMS, but the email problem still persists.
Hey Everyone,
This is probably my first or second post here ever. I have just recently really gotten into trying different roms and flashing my phone. I can generally find my answer in posts already around but am having issues that I cannot find answers to.
1. I have a voice mail icon that will not go away. I have flashed Evio sense based Rom and Evervolv cm7 based rom and it will show up with both. I called Sprint and had them try to clear some stuff out (it was fun trying to keep them from figuring out I wasn't in sense anymore ) which has actually lead me to not have any data connection except for 4g. I am doing a recovery of an old sense rom that I have a nandroid of to check and see if a profile update will fix this issue though. My main concern is the voice mail icon. I do not use google voice and have my inbox completely empty. I also have called myself and left a message and gone in and dialed in and checked it and it still is there. Am I going to need to do a full reinstall from scratch to avoid having this? My guess is it could somehow be saved in my TI backup that I have and showing up after I restore the data. Is this possible?
2. I really do not like the interface for the phone in cm7. I know I can get Go Contacts or Dialer One to replace the contact search and the initial plug in of the number but once I call it switches to the same in phone interface and this is the interface that I really want to change. It seems like every thread that I have found just suggest changing to Dialer One or another app like this but does not change the actual in phone look. It also seems really unresponsive sometimes taking up to 5 or 10 seconds to end a call and leaving me standing there poking the end call button over and over until it responds. Does anyone else have this issue?
3. The final issue I am having is with MMS and from what I have read it seems to be an issue with cm7 in general. Is there any workaround for this? The other parts I feel like there is probably something that I am just missing and can deal with but if I cannot get MMS working then its probably going to be a deal breaker for cm7 until it is fixed.
In closing I would like to thank the community here. There is a lot of hard work and dedication to helping others that goes on and I really appreciated any help that you can give me! I know my questions are wordy and long but I wanted to explain what I have done to try to fix these issues on my own before coming here to you all. Thanks again!
I have the voicemail icon issue as well. I have had it with other roms. When I loaded up this time, the first thing I did was set up Google Voice and I didn't have the issue. All of the sudden, a couple of hours later, the ROM forgot I was using Google Voice and then what do you know...the beloved voicemail icon shows up. I have seen several "solutions" for this, but none of them work. Why isn't there a setting to clear the icon or an app that will do it?...or is there?...or maybe a command in Terminal Emulator.
I am using TAKEphONE as my dialer as I have had success with it. As far as I know you can't change the actual phone app. Sense is just a skin on top of the phone app as far as I can tell because when you have Google Voice ask you if you want to use Voice or Sprint, you can see the stock Android phone app for a few seconds.
I do not have any experience today with MMS so I am not sure about that.
The issue with the VM icon is still seeming to haunt me however I flashed Ginger-Ale and if you go settings>call>voice mail icon reset you can get rid of it. I am however unsure if this will be a permanent fix or if it will work after another flash but I will know in about 15 min once I flash the new one by Deck.
I also found that if I went into titanium backup and froze phone.apk (I did this to see if by chance I could get Dialer One to not use the regular CM7 in call phone interface that it removed the Voice Main icon but also caused the phone to repeatedly FC. I ended up having to flash to a nandroid backup which of course brought back the VM icon but it at least let me know where the issue was coming from.
Completely not an answer, but just so you know...
Any time you call Sprint and they do any communication with your phone, they pull the phone's info - rom version, radio, kernel, etc. This information helps them troubleshoot the problems you're having. Usually this will tell them which official release you have on your phone - if you've updated via OTA, etc. So they may not have known that what you're running isn't Sense, but they do know it's a custom rom and that you're rooted. Whether or not the person you were talking to pulled this information, took note of it on your account, or even cares, is something no one can answer. But it is a possibility.
So if you're ever having software issues and you take it in to Sprint (even if you've unrooted) and they refuse to fix it - you'll know why. Of course, you'd have to get a combination of asshole Sprint employees to have issues, but it is a possibility.
I've heard of the tech mentioning the custom rom to some people, so you know that even if they don't say anything, they know.

I have the tmobile contact backup turned off & set to not sync. Every time I look at my phone though it is shown in the notification bar as "Checking Status". Does this happen to anyone else? I don't want this damn program running at all!
Mine doesn't seem to be running. i went into manage apps, cleared the data and turned off sync. I still check it every now and again to make sure it's not syncing behind my back. I don't trust it because for the first few days it seemed undeterred when I'd tried to stop it.
I'll try that

Also I would advise you to delete your tmobile contacts form your phone, and just store and sue the google contacts, so that you can be sure if the Tmobile contacts syn has reenabled itself after you disabled it.
I can't wait for Root so we can get rid of this stuff!

I don't want to sync my contacts with google simple because it'll add any email address that you email. I use Outlook to handle them. I did clear the contact backup data & haven't seen anything happen since then
For some reason when I got the phone it added all my contacts about 5 times each... I had to delete everything from the phone itself, then resync with tmobile back up because of all the crazy linking of phone numbers. I don't even store contacts on my phone anymore I purely use the tmobile backup list and facebook contacts.
Since my device completely crashed, I re-installed it. (HTC HD2/NexusHD2 ICS CM9)
I encounter one big problem: my contacts and the telephone option both don't work at all! They stop working as soon as I try to open them..
Although I'm very glad that all other options work again, calling is still a pretty essential part of my telephone
Does anyone know how I can fix this problem?? ANY help would be greatly appreciated.
Addition, what's app and messages do find my contacts, but I can't approach them in a normal way so I don't know how to call either
Nvr mind, 'updated' the existing mod and my contacts work again
