Problem loading all widgets - T-Mobile LG G2x

I have been researching this for an entire night.. time to ask after no go..
I'm getting "Problem loading widget" on all widgets. Yes, they are moved to the phone. They load up fine when long pressing the homescreen and putting them up.. but as soon as I reboot the phone, I get the 'problem loading' msg for every widget.
I've tried wiping the caches, making sure they were on the phone, and fixing permissions... no go. I've tried removing/reinstalling, no go. I have tried new widgets... they don't work either (and yes, they are on the phone).
I'm at my wits end. Running stock 2.3.4.. Thanks for any suggestions.

What launcher?

LauncherPro (free). I should have read your question first.. i just wiped and I'm reinstalling the rom. I'm assuming a reinstall of it may have helped?

Thunderbolt HTC Sense Loading Problems

I rooted my TBolt earlier this week and now I just moved my bloat apps to my sdcard. All went well except i tried to put the car panel app back. So I read further about how to put back apps and resetting the permissions. I tried it with the car panel app and it seemed to have worked but I couldn't see it in the app list. So I read further and found a suggestion to clear the data of the HTC Sense app. My thinking was that I had to do that in order to get car panel app to appear again. But it did not work.
Well I cleared the HTC Sense data and now all I get after many battery removals, reboots, etc. is the following after I unlock the screen.
"Loading...
It may take several minutes to complete, please wait."
It's been doing this for a day now and I dont know what to do.
The phone seems to be functioning because I can receive calls and msgs. But I cannot launch anything.
I also tried doing the power+dwn vol, on reboot and tried to recover, restore factory etc... but nothing is working..
Any advice....?
THanks in advance...
Problem fixed, thanks

[Q] Phone, contacts and messages keep closing

I have Galaxy S with Android 2.3.4 JVR and it works like a charm - with this one exception: sometimes (too often) phone, contacts and messages (sms) keep closing. This happens usually within a second or two after opening up them. There's no force close message, it just returns to the home screen without any warning. If I reopen it, it usually does the same a couple of times, but eventually I get it to open.
At first I thought this must be a memory issue. However, I have Autokiller installed (my phone is rooted) and I have usually >100M free memory. Then I thought it must be Autokiller killing the dialer, contacts or messages apps. BUT: this happened also before I had Autokiller installed, so it can't be that either. The strangest thing is that I tried installing GO SMS Pro and GO Contacts + Dialer, and even they do the same thing occasionally (close immediately after I open them), so it isn't a problem with apps either.
I am bedazzled here, could somebody please help me? This starts to get really annoying, since the dialer, contacts and messages are the feature you normally use most in your phone!
I have the exact same problem! Somebody, please help
the phone app and etc. seem to be corrupt or something
try reflashing.If you keep getting the problem then revert back to your previous rom =/
Is there any way to try to replace only the phone etc. apps without flashing the whole rom?
from my experience no but you can try replacing phone.apk sms.apk etc with the previous rom's apps
The funny thing is that I have a stock 2.3.4 JVR, so it should be stable.
Plus, did I mention that this happens only sometimes? Sometimes they work ok. But this happens often enough to be annoying. You know, when you would have to make a quick phone call you have to open the phone app like 3-4 times, only then you're able to make it. I wondered if the the problem could still be in the dialer, contacts and messaging apps even if the problem occurred only sometimes?
In addition, the calendar app has done this a couple of times. Could it be that there's a conflicting app that's causing this? If so, do you have any suggestion what it would be?
Autokiller made my phone do some really funny stuff. After installing it i was having random reboots and apps crashing so i uninstalled and problem solved. You said it was happening before you installed it though so im just guessing that you need to either wipe cache and dalvik then reboot or do a full wipe and reinstall of your rom. When you do the full wipe go into mounts and storage and wipe system too
Hi and thanks for your comment. What are the effects of wiping the cache and the dalvik cache? Do I lose important data? Or can I do it safely? Sorry, I'm a bit of a n00b with android. I suppose you wipe the cache in download mode, right?
I experience exactly the same issue as you-though I am on stock jvu.I come from 2.3.3, stock as well, using chainfire root both times.
Sometimes phone contacts and message s close immediately after opening them, often several times. and sometimes everythings fine
here you can find some information about dalvik and normal cache wipe..your data will be safe-only first boot will take longer.I will try wiping now, too-reporting back then.
Edit:
For now wiping seems to have worked well and fixed the problem here..I need some more testing though-will keep you up to date here
edit 2: damn! The issue's still there.anyone got more ideas?
G'day!
I have the exact same problem with JVU and I had this problem with 2.3.3 but less frequent. I have no choice but to reboot the phone when it happen. I suspect it's caused by one of the widget (email and Go weather) that I put on the desktop. Going to remove the two widgets from desktop and see if it's help.

Okay, that sounds interesting - though I am not sure wheter a widget could cause this...
I am still running JVU but now with Galaxian Kernel instead of Chainfires root Kernel - flashed with SGS Kernel Flasher and still got root - and it runs very stable and fast 'till now. No more closing of phone, contacts and messages so far -.- since 2 days.
I'll tell you when it happens again, but so far it seemed to be a kernel issue for me...
I've been having the same issues with my Samsung SideKick 4G. messages would keep closing as I was typing them, I would lag and the key I pressed would "press again" like 15 more times, sometimes I just couldn't open a conversation, other times I couldnt answer phone calls cause the UI lagged.
That was all on stock firmware, and I got fed up with it so I tried to flash a custom ROM on it, and before I did that I had it OC'd to 1.2GHz which was actually pretty great. Needless to say, I screwed up on flashing the ROM and now I'm looking for firmware to odin back to stock. =\

facebook app stopped working

so, the Facebook app stopped working, and now only force closes. someone right next to me on a different android phone has no problem, so the issue must be isolated to the charge.
I,m running a rom called infinity, but I can't find the thread with that rom any more.
anyone else run into problems with the Facebook app? I've tried clearing cache, uninstalling, rebooting, reinstalling, and even tried emailing myself a known working apk to install. nothing works. what did Facebook do to break their app??

lol I've always used another app for Facebook though they all have their little problems, I'd suggest friendcaster (almost an exact clone of the official app), seesmic (cool smooth UI but lacking some features) and tweetdeck (kinda basic but gets the job done lol)

That is good.
Around the time I made this post, my phone began acting very flaky. On my way home from chuck e cheese where the app stopped working, and after I confirmed that Facebook was up, and the problem was isolated to my phone specifically, I rebooted into recovery to clear cache.
After clearing the cache and rebooting, my phone got stuck in a bootloop. No amount of battery pulling and trying again would get me out of the loop. After getting home I just flashed a new Rom. I decided a rooted debloated stock gingerbread rom was the way to go, so I flashed that with Odin.
Well, everything was peachy for about a week. On my way to a wedding rehearsal dinner with my girlfriend, I charged up my phone as I normally do before going out due to the dismal battery life when actually using the phone. I had the phone off at the time thinking that would make it charge ever so slightly faster since I was in a hurry.
Once I was ready to go I unplugged, hit the power button, stuffed the phone in my pocket, and left. Over an hour later, I pulled it out and noted that it was booting...
Then it rebooted
and rebooted
and rebooted
I was in ANOTHER bootloop. Tried battery pulling. Nope, back in a bootloop. I gave up for a while. At dinner I pulled it out and began tinkering. I cleared cache in recovery, but still was in the bootloop. I cleared Dalvik cache, but still was in the bootloop. I tried the factory restore option...
Well, that worked, however, I had disabled the default launcher (by renaming it with the file extension ".bak") and installed ADW launcher EX from the market. I hadn't moved the ADW apk to the system folder, thinking it would be easier to update if I left it in its default location.
So I had a phone with no launcher.
However...
I stumbled upon a solution. Somehow the voice search button still worked. I searched for market. That launched the browser. Clicking on the first link asked me if i wanted to use the browser or Market to complete the action. I chose Market. I tried installing ADW Launcher EX, but the install failed. Damn. I installed Root Explorer and launched it from within Market, used that to rename the default launcher, and voila!
Now, strangely, my phone is a LOT snappier than it has been the last couple weeks, though I've reinstalled all my apps except ADW.
I haven't quite figured out what caused either of the Bootloops, and I'm really not certain why my phone is snappier NOW after that ordeal than it was when I first flashed the rom.
After flashing a rom am I supposed to go into recovery and do a factory restore from within the new rom and recovery? I thought all you had to do was clear the Cache and Dalvik cache.
You don't necessarily have to, unless the ROM specifically tells you to in the instructions, but you can. I've also had times where my phone just crashes and burns, and I have to restock and flash ROM again. Not very fun and I have no idea what causes it, but it's not a big deal having to lose a of my stuff since I have TiBu on a nightly schedule. It's just a minor inconvenience.

Can't get widgets on home screen

Hi All, Help needed. My Sensation XE phone updated to ICS a few days ago, stock unrooted. Since the update I can't add any widgets to the home screen, and have difficulty adding Apps too .
If I long hold on home screen space, I can choose an App or widget but once selected I get thrown out to the centre home screen without success (even if I was on a different screen).
I am able to pin an App from the App drawer route, but can't get widgets from any method. Existing widgets work fine, but can't add any new ones, not even HTC ones.
I raised a support query with HTC, they said it is a "software glitch", and to do a factory reset. I really don't want to do this, I don't want to go through setting everything up again. And as I'm NOT rooted will lose App and game data. As I have a stock unrooted phone I'm not even convinced a reset will solve the problem.
Has anyone got any ideas on how to solve this or a work around?
1) Root the phone. It's super easy and you'll end up with the ability to back up all your stuff.
but if that's not for you...
2) Get a different launcher. (ADW is nice. Go Launcher is popular. Both are available on the market. Both are free.)
You'd have to reset up your home screens, but all of your data and system settings could be uneffected. And I'd bet that your problem goes away with a new launcher.
I may be forced to root, but not ready to go down that road yet. I like the simplicity and security of stock. And if things are going wrong with a stock phone I don't really want to venture into more complexity.
I may try another launcher but again I actually like Sense UI.
I thought there could be a service or program I could restart that would solve my problem. I get the feeling HTC customer service just get everyone to reset at the first sign of trouble.

There's a very good reason that you get that feeling
Factory resetting will fix 99% of software issues that the average dolt causes by doing something goofy. So they recommend it as the go to solution.
Try this.
Go to the settings. Select apps, then "All" instead of 'downloaded'. Find the launcher and clear the settings. If it works it'll clear off all your home screens. But it should reset the application so it'll work like the first day. You won't lose data or anything, just the placement of your icons. I don't know if it'll work without root though.
As for rooting, you can root the phone and keep the stock ROM. You don't have to change anything or install different ROM's. You'd just have the ability to tweak more of the stock ROM if you needed to, and the ability to fix more problems that you're locked out of now .
And there's a chance that wiping the dalvik and cache once you're rooted would fix the problem you're having with the launcher if the 'clear settings' option doesn't work.
hey, 1. confirm that your ROM originally includes those widgets...
2. go to setting-apps-all-htc sense-clean cache-reboot...
Thanks for your help guys. I found the problem which was a troublesome app that worked fine under gingerbread, but not happy with ics. Quickest. Removed it and problem went away.
Issue resolved - uninstalling certain applications was the solution!

While I tried almost all the solutions mentioned above, this solution worked for me. I removed all the previously installed applications, that were installed before moving over ICS. Somehow, I couldn't narrow down to the exact application that was causing the problem.
Uninstalling these applications resolved the issue and now I am able to add widgets to HomeScreen.
Thank you very much all of you for your help and suggestions.

Launcher3 constantly crashing.

After a swipe on the Homescreen, where i probably, accidently, caught the widget, first one widget disappeared and later all widgets were gone. I'm (were!) using TrebuchetBackup and thought "No worries, I'll just restore the backup"! Then the troubles started for real! Now Launcher3 crashes constantly. After many clicks on the OK-button to clear the crash-notification i can succeed in force-stopping the Launcher, but after a reboot the troubles starts all over.
I've tried clearing data and cache in the app, cleaning the caches, including Dalvik, on the phone, but no success. I've even reinstalled the ROM (YNG1TAS213/without wiping).
If I choose to send a report, I get the following title:
[CRASH] com.cyanogenmod.trebuchet threw android.database.sqlite.SQLiteCantOpenDatabaseExeption.
It's not the whole crash-report mind you, as I can't find the report anywhere on the phone.
Does anybody know where I can find the crash-report?
Does anybody have any idea, what causes the crashes?
Regards,
