hey everybody.. i've been around but don't think i've officially posted or said hi yet.
SO, hi.
Now on to business.. I'm running IntectedROM r248 w/ imo 6.1.
However, i've had this random icon appear overnight.
Anybody know WTF it is? (top left)
That came from an app you installed. Its a new advertising thing. You'll start getting pop up notifications too probably

i haven't installed any apps lately and this just showed up
Happened to my SIL as well...don't know where it came from. She has a stock Droid charge

Maybe it's some type of adware. It is odd that it just appeared.

randomly showed up, now how do I make it permanently go away?
Mine just showed up at random too.
Does anyone know what app it's tied to, or how I delete the little Icon?
Thanks

Let me give you the lowdown:
Today i went to use the News and Weather widget (GenieWidget.apk) on my droid X running rubix, it worked fine, till i went to the graph view/Histogram and clicked on a future point in time, expecting the displayed temperature and humidity to change. they did not, stayed the same consistant start values.
So i tried a different Genie apk, I tried a google built one, a cyanogen one, and the default rubix one... same effect.
So i assumed it was rubix.
Tried it on a stock droid my friend had, exact same effect.
Any ideas? i rememeber from my droid 1 that those values used to change. Is it non-functional on the droid X?
Also experiencing this on my nexus one. It started acting weird after the daylight savings time change. I remember this happening last year. It magically fixed itself then; hopefully it does again this time around...

That's strange. The way android handles time internally shouldn't be effected by that. Must be the way weather.com is supplying the info

Can anyone else report the same problem. Or report there's is working

I am having the same issue here! running fission 2.01 and now on 2.1rc2
same problem here, plus two of my friends. I'm sure it is a server issue. try changing the location to japan, it will work normal. they need to fix this soon, I use it every morning to figure out what to wear.
now I just walk around naked...

Link from CM forums, no solutions yet aside from installing "SnowStorm", which I don't want to do.

The Genie widget is full of suckage and has been since the last update.
Are there any similar alternatives , specifically the news portion ?
Have the same problem on my Nexus and Vibrant. Tried different apks all are broken.....
also looking for a fix or widget replacement app. i am using for both news and weather....
Same problem on my N1, started a thread in the N1 forum for some extra help. Nothing yet.
Cleared Data, reboot, nothing changes.
It suddenly started to work again on my phone. Looks like it magically fixed itself.

After I received the MR2 update my Tbolt texts the wrong person about 1 out of every 12 times. Not like the old problem where it pics the wrong thread, like every HTC phone I have ever had. You clearly see you have the correct thread and when you hit send it looks like it flips a page on the screen and sends it to who ever the phone feels like. This is embarrassing and quite unacceptable. I am stock and I have tried deleting all the texts and I hard reset once and it still does it. What gives?
Lol. I know what u mean..it has happen to me a few times and has almost got me in a lil bit of trouble if you know what I mean..it is very annoying..I'm rooted so instead of using the HTC messaging app I deleted it and installed the vanilla android (aosp) messaging on my phone..runs better with less lag, doesn't put mms as a slideshow, and best of all no wrong text sent. I have yet to figure out a solution to the problem tho unless you wanna use handcent or a another app similar.

Like above, I'd recommend a replacement app. I personally use GO sms and I havn't had it send a wrong message unless I didn't see to the person whom I was typing to.(which happened once lol) Maybe that is the best method other than rooting
I had the same problem and I couldn't control who the messages would go to, I'm using handcent and haven't had a single issue since. I go back to stock and it happens again. I don't think it's just the Thunderbolt as I've seen threads on forums for other phones that have had the same issue.
This is a bug, it was fixed in GB.

I disagree. Perhaps the particular bug you linked in that message has been fixed with GB, but I have seen text message bugs using Sense 3.0.
The most common occurrence for me is to try to open a text thread, and it opens a thread from someone ~5 threads down. I have also opened a thread, sworn it was the correct person, and then upon closing the keyboard noticed I have a different thread open. This can cause some serious issues, and I can't believe it isn't talked about more.
I have had this happen using froyo and GB Sense Roms when using the stock app and GoSMS pro.
Count me in no more sexting as it will get you in trouble lol. No seriously I've had this happen on.every Rom. I'll text persona and it shows sent but personb will receive. Just started happening since Mr2 official ota. The only time it dies not happen is with handcent or go sms. How do I install asop sms on sense Rom on rooted tb?

First download the aosp mms.apk and place it on you memory card..I used root explorer...open it up and scroll to "system". Select it then select "app" you will then see all your system applications. Scroll down till u see "mms.apk" ...at the top right of your phone u will see a selection dat says "mount' selct it..then long press "mms.apk" and select delete. After doing this then reboot your phone. When it is back up go back to root explorer and scroll to "sdcard" and selct it..find where u saved the aosp mms.apk then copy it ..now back out and return to the "system", click mount on the top right of your phone and paste the aosp mms.apk into the system..then u need to set permissions. Long press on the new mms.apk you installed then select permissions..the first row of boxes should be checked already and on the second row just the first box..select ok..click mount on the top right of your phone again then reboot your phone and there u have it

Hmmm, I wonder if this is an issue with Sense ROMs or the radio. I'm running CM7 so I dunno how it would affect me, but so far, I haven't had an issue.
This does remind me of the problem I had with my Droid 2 before I went to the Thunderbolt. It wouldn't send texts to the wrong person, but the damn messaging app would delete the wrong thread every time. I go to delete a thread with a long-tap, and it would delete a thread a few spaces down instead. It was freakin annoying as hell.
it's annoying. I have to remember to delete all threads to insure it doesn't text the wrong person. Texting the wrong person happens more than twice a week.
Weird, I've never had this happen.
I've had this happen on the original software the TB came with but since using mr2 or cm7 I've yet to have it happen.

I had it happen already a bunch of times, perhaps once every 2 or 3 weeks. Extremely annoying but thankfully hasn't caused any serious issues (yet). Still its happened enoighbto make me actually feel cautious about texting. I just recently switched to handset for this very reason to see if it continues.

It's not the phone that's doing it. The problem may actually be with Android or with sense. It happens on other models of phones as well.

Hey guys I'm rooted and running stock rooted and have been noticing for a week or so now that any app updates that I have downloaded and installed keep re-appearing in the marker after a restart. Any clues as to why this is happening? Anything I can do to troubleshoot this?
Thanks
Have seen that myself... If I reboot again most of the time they are gone...

Just did installed 6 updates again. Rebooted and 3 of them showed back up... Drag Racing, Google Docs, and TunesRemote. Hmmmm
That is happening on stock phones also. I think it must be a market glitch

So I've noticed that ever since this OTA update from almost 2 months ago happened, my phone has been acting weird with the standard messaging app. When I go to text someone (I know for a fact I'm entering a message to the right person), it automatically sends that message to someone else. Now this hasn't gotten me into huge trouble yet, if you know what I mean lol but its quite annoying! Any advice?

About 3 days ago, I got some Verizon Update pushed to my phone, just happened when I turned it on.
Now everytime I boot up the phone it gives the little APP update icon in the bar at the top..I pull it down says there are 3 apps to update. So I open it and there are no apps that pop up to the top to update?
This has never happened before..any ideas?
It's just annoying...not really a problem.
My phone doesn't pop it up randomly, but it does tell me the wrong number every time. For instance, it will notify me that 5 apps can update when only 2 are available. My first Charge didn't, this "certified like new" one that I just got does.

Try scrolling to the bottom of the My Apps list in the Market. You should see three Verizon bloatware apps that are under "not installed" that want to update.
