try going to the phones main settings, applications, manage applications, all, browser.. now press clear data and clear cache. try opening the browser again.
You can try going to the home screen -> click menu button -> Manage apps -> Click the All tab -> scroll to Browser (or whatever browser she uses) -> click that, then clear data.
That may cause her to lose bookmarks, etc.

Hey,
my facebookapp uses more battery than all other apps together, the screenshots are from today, and shows the batterydrain during the night --> no use
does anyone else has the same problem??
How often do you have Facebook set to sync? Make it less often and battery use will go down.

I had an issue with the same thing and this seemed to fix it:
The most accurate recognition will be achieved when all the training images are taken directly from front (i.e. no profile images etc.). Also, you should take training images in different illuminations (in those environments where you usually use your mobile). Sufficient amount of images per person is about 5 to 10.
give it a shot and see if it changes!

It doesn't seem to work on a rooted Evo. Every App I lock goes to the face program then the app starts anyway.
been using this all day here and i must say im impressed. now i just need this to work with the "stock" lock screen (take the place of a pin pass or pattern). that would be amazing.

Im rooted running synergy rc1 and it works fine. Try wiping the app data and uninstall and then do a fresh install and see if that helps.

I am running the latest MIUI and this works fine. Awesome application. My only complaint is that on MIUI you can drag applications to the top of the screen for an uninstall. If you do that with the app, it will remove it and then you can access whatever you want on the phone. Obviously nobody is going to really know that they can do that unless they are familiar with MIUI, but still something to nag about.
Awesome application.

Same here so what I did was place it in a folder and selected the HIDE APPLICATION option that way it cannot be found
That's what I ended up doing as well. Worked really well since you can't delete the folder with something in it, but you can't find what's in it.
Also, I found that if you hit the home key while the app is loading, it cancels the protection out.
Say you have it protecting messages. You click on messages and while the screen is blank for a second or two (The camera security is loading), hit the home key. Now open messages again and it doesn't lock you out.
Just me or others too?

Where is the sound recorder app? I see it listed under manage apps but its not in my app drawer. And no I didn't disable it. Just did a factory reset so nothing is disabled. How do you access the sound recorder?

LOL it's in the market
Kidding, by adding a widget ti the screen (if you've downloaded it from the htc widgets app)
Or by installing a 3rd party one from market
Alternatively you can opprn the command prompt and type begin, writeln(LOL), readln; end. But that is only for hackers cuz we do it the hard way

haha I'm talking about the stock app. I dont havce a widget for it either. But the "Sound recorder" app shows up in manage applications. I just dont see a way to run it. It's odd every other phone I had, had the app in the app drawer
yeah, dude i thought i was the only one who noticed/needed this wtf is up with that?
note* i STILL cant find it...its prolly only there for integration for other apps :/

if you can see it in Manage Apps then try to search for it from the Home screen. I know the Dock Mode doesn't show up in my App Drawer but I an run it if I search for it.
& yes, TMOUS did take it out along with some other things.

good tip for the dock mode, i always saw it running, but never saw the app before
but voice recorder doesnt show up under that search, even when i enter the package name :/
oh well 3rd party app, here i come
EDIT: when looking at the all, its 0.00kb, with NO app data or cache...looks like they deleted the app data, but forgot to uninstall...slackass T-Mobile :/
Go to the market & download "any cut". Open it & select "new shortcut" & then select "activity". Once the list loads, scroll down till you find the entry for the sound recorder. Select it, follow the prompts, and it will add a shortcut to the sound recorder to your home screen. Voila- sound recorder.

You do know that it's HTC that does the software modifications that T-Mobile requests, right? So it's slackass HTC, not T-Mobile.
On another note, I agree that T-Mobile does always seem to request removal of useful things and add crap like MyAccount. We can get that off the market if WE want it. My best guess is that by the time they are done adding they're crap too much just is running the background so they start removing other stuff.

If your using touchwiz launcher, you xan go to manage apps, and click on TWlauncher. Theres a button that says clear cache. Clear it - it will reset the launcher to default.

This should work. But are you saying it's stuck even if you re-boot the phone? If so that is really strange.
Or, you can try downloading a different launcher from the Market. I personally love Go Launcher Ex (with Honeycomb Theme--separate download from the market). Let's you multi-select apps for your homescreens which makes it quick and easy to set up.

As title, I'm running 5.02 (Netherlands) on a P900. Everything is pretty good and I can switch on toolbox but if I actually select toolbox then settings crashes. Any ideas?

Thank you. I can confirm that it works now.
I think it's the initial set up that's causing it to crash. Once you have one app on the toolbox, setting no longer crashes when pressing toolbox.

Wish I would have read this before I did a hard reset
Oh, that's what those 3 dots are!
Thanks, Yoshi! I've been trying to figure out what those 3 Dots were once my Note Pro "downgraded" to 5.02.
I'm having crashes with Toolbox as well. Once I followed your instructions, the 3-dot icon had the apps I picked. Then I realized this was "Toolbox". Of course, a little documentation about what was being changed by version 5.02 would have been a great help. But it seems like it costs too much nowadays to create documents along with hardware/software.
But why would I need Toolbox when I've been using Slider Launcher app for a few months to do the same thing? And Slider doesn't have the 5 app restriction of Toolbox as well.
Now if I can only get my Logitech Pro keyboard and the Samsung keyboard to work like they did under 4.4, and the S-Note widget to show all my notes ... well, here's hoping 5.03 will be soon coming and enhance my tablet instead of degrade it.
