[Q] PowerAmp - UID mismatch issue - Settings getting reset

I'm having a serious issue with PowerAmp app. My settings are getting reset to default every time the program is completely closed (either by a task manager or after a reboot). Not only that, the change log and Thank you popups come up every startup after the complete shutdown. Pls help resolve.
On contacting the Dev, he says its a UID mismatch issue and it can be solved by uninstalling and reinstalling the program. However that has not fixed the issue.

Strange, I'm using the PowerAmp app and I don't experience this. Have you tried contacting the Dev again about this?
Have you tried downloading it again and then installing it?
One possibility is that when you re-install it you are restoring corrupt settings back onto your device.
Have you tried a hard reset/factory reset then installing it again to see if it works?

It's working now. I used root explorer and navigated to the dbdata folder. Then I deleted the folder corresponding to Poweramp. Since then settings are not getting reset every time I end the app using a task manager.

None of the above works for me:
- uninstalled PowerAMP
- uninstalled PowerAMP Full Version Unlocker
- Deleted sdcard/Android/data/com.maxmpz.audioplayer directory with Super Manager
- reset the phone
- installed PowerAMP
- installed PowerAMP Full Version Unlocker
Same problem! Any ideas?

You will need a file explorer like root explorer since you are rooted. You got the wrong folder. You have to first uninstall full version. Then go to dbdata folder which is above the sdcard folder. Go to the power amp folder and delete the shared peers file. After that reinstall power amp it should be fine..

@mithunjo - you are so right! Super Manager was not it, Root Explorer did it. Thanks!

im having the same problem with power amp. however i couldnt find the folder "dbdata".i evn tried to use the search feature in root explorer to locate the folder but no use!. any suggestions?
im using sony ericsson official 2.1 firmware 0.24 and am rooted

same problem here... will try... thanks!

The dbdata folder is above the internal sdcard folder. In that delete the preferences file in the power amp folder which goes something like maxmp.player..

If you don't want to spend money for the 'Root Explorer', like me, get the 'Terminal Emulator'. It's free, and will give you a terminal interface. Open the app, press the menu button and choose the option to show the keyboard. The following commands will 1) give root permissions to the app and 2) delete the settings folder of PowerAMP:
su
rm -r /dbdata/databases/com.maxmpz.audioplayer
Thats it. The folder is gone. In my case I had to deinstall poweramp before this procedure, and reinstalled afterwards. Finally I can use PowerAmp again.

I've also had that problem (Galaxy S with Darky 8.0 (JPY) ) and deleting dbdata\databases\com.maxmpz.audioplayer helped me. I didn't even have had to uninstall and install PowerAMP.

Tried deleting only the folder with RootExplorer without uninstalling and then reinstalling PowerAMP.
I'll see if this is enough.

I have a rooted htc Inspire running CyanogenMod nightlies.
I have used RootExplorer to look for dbdata and have not been able to find it. I've been through every file with RExplorer and have also used it to search for the file. Both ways I have come up empty. Am I missing something?
And I did read the enitire thread first
Thanks for any help.

Annoying T-Mobile EMail Signature

I went to account setting and tried to both delete the "signature" and uncheck including it. Changes do not stick.
I changes permissions on the APK in system (they stuck), repeated above - same result. Rebooted and tried again - no luck. Tried searching for the text with Root Explorer - also no luck.
I could try deleting the app and installing another version, but since it is in /system, reluctant to do that - have had issues doing that in the past.
Extremely annoying and am reluctant to send emails with it still there. Looking for suggestions.

I'll be toying with this later as well. Its quite annoying especially with an exchange account.

Please search for this on the forums. I posted the same issue and someone posted a apk to fix it. I did it and it works.

I did search, and already downloaded a Froyo 2.2 EMail apk. I did not see any specific instillation instructions - so want to be sure I don't mess up the ROM (although I already have a nandriod).
I had already installed(app) a different Email app this phone (for another issue). It worked, but would not not keep email marked as read unless I fully opened them (simply checking and selecting "mark read" did not stick).
So was wondering if there is a specific flashing procedure I should follow (like deleting the app in system, inserting new one, and reboot). Again - reluctant to mess with /system directly.

Thanks I am rooted, but I think I just flashed over the existing app and some "noise" must have carried over. Did it the way in the other thread and it worked OK

Attached is the actual Email.apk (so your not going through 3 different forums)
Download it to your SD Card
Using Root Explorer:
Navigate to /system/app
Press and hold "Email.apk" and select rename from menu.
Rename it "Email.apk.bak", confirm.
Navigate to /sdcard/_ExternalSD
Press and hold new "Email.apk" and select copy from menu.
Navigate back to /system/app and select "Paste" from the bottom button.
Click on the new "Email.apk" and choose to install it.
Setup Email, set Signature, give me a "Thanks", and drink a beer... you deserved it.

When I go to rename the file, it says ""Email.apk" not renamed". Now what do I do?
Thanks.

Try ending the task first. Are you rooted?

Go into settings>applications>manage applications, find Email, Clear Cache
Do this before renaming and pasting the new one over. Rebooting after clearing cache, might help too.

not sure why, but the downloaded email app cannot set up MS Exchange account? Am I missing something here? Thanks for the help.

found how to do it. has to choose manual setup

I cleared the cache and rebooted and its still not working. I cannot rename the file. I also cannot even see any files in my SD card when I use the Rooted explorer. I don't know what's going on. I was sure that I rooted the phone correctly. I followed all of the rooting instructions. It went smoothly. Is there a way I can check if I rooted my phone correctly?

I can't even end the task from the Root explorer. I dont see any options to end the task. I was sure that I rooted it correctly. I followed all of the instructions and everything ran smoothly. How can I tell if I rooted my phone correctly?
Thanks.

I use Enhanced E-Mail from the Market. It's an overlay for the existing e-mail client not a replacement like TouchDown (TD flattens the databases screwing up my contacts via Bluetooth). It's $9.99 and will allow you to change your signature (plus provides a ton of useful features). I know you shouldn't have to buy a third party product and T-Mobile's stupid for locking the signature on the phone but your sanity may be worth $9.99.

Can no longer copy anything on my S3?

So recently, I haven't been able to use the copy feature in any app. Every time I try to copy text, it then causes the app to force close. Anybody else having this problem?

If yes -
you may want to try clearing your data, cache, dalvik cache to make sure you have a fresh load.
If no -
Maybe see if you have a new OTA update for your phone

Well I haven't flashed a ROM, but I wiped the caches anyway. Still doesn't work and there's definitely no software update (I hate you Verizon).

I'm having the same issue! Sometimes it force closes, other times it let's me copy but won't let me paste. Are you using SwiftKey?
Sent from my SCH-I535 using xda app-developers app

2 options:
1) Factory Restore
2) ROOT device, install ROOT Explorer, navigate to / > data > clipboard, select ALL and delete all, than go into your Settings > Applications Manager > All, look for TestServices, than remove updates/clear data. Reboot and everything should be fine.
Something in your clipboard became corrupted by TestServices

I had the same exact issue (stock rooted) and I was using the newest SwiftKey as well. It's possible that it may be related to SwiftKey, so, maybe try changing back to stock keyboard? Anyways, for me, after I flashed my first ROM, the problem went away. Sorry, no direct solutions, but just wanted to chime in with my experience as well.

I had the same issue and I was stock EVERYTHING. I rooted just to get rid of it. It looks like the clipboard never clears itself. My folder had snapshots (using the Jedi hand wipe across the screen), text clips, weblinks, etc. each in their own separate folder. Wonder if this is a feature to data mine us Verizon users?
EDIT: Anyway, I found a link to fix this by user dr3do on Android Forums.
1. boot recovery (CWM) > advanced > wipe cache
2. reboot phone > Root Explorer > delete /data/clipboard/*
3. reboot recovery again > advanced > fix permissions
4. reboot phone > it's fine

Quite likely. When you re-installed it, did you make it a system app?

yes i believe it it is a system app

Try making it a system app. Right now its probably installed as an update to the system app, but its better if it remains by itself. This can be done in many ways. You could use Titanium Backup, or simply place the app in /system/app/ (and set the permissions).

dont work

i tryed to copy and paste it using es file explorer but it said that it failed. Any ways even if i do get past that how do i set the permissions ?

Or maybe delete the whole apk with titanium backup or a root explorer, reboot and install it again.
Happened to me with apex launcher and this solved the problem

Titanium Backup - Select the app in the list and choose "integrate update into ROM".
Manual Way - Use Root Explorer, etc. to copy and paste the file in /system/app/. Make sure you mount it as R/W first. Using Root Explorer, long press the file and choose permissions. It should be set to "rw-r--r--".
Reboot after either of these methods.

First you will need:
- Whatsapp you want to install in tablet.....First have it full running updated in your android mobile.
- Install apk Backup & restore in your mobile and your tablet.
- You must be root in android phone and tablet.
- Install root explorer in android mobile and in tablet.
- Install appguard in tablet.
- Install Go contacts ex in mobile and in tablet.
After all above is done:
Make Backup your app whatsapp from mobile and save in you SDcard tablet.
Make restore with same app in your tablet. (DONT OPEN APP Whatsapp yet).
Open appguard and secure your new app whatsapp installed........It will uninstall and install again. uncheck the option checking your phone status, inside "manage your secured app" (DONT OPEN APP whatsapp yet).
Now go root explorer in android mobile:
Copy the next files any place on your SDcard:
Data/data/com.whatsapp (full folder, with other folders inside).
(remember original permisions )
Data/data/com.android.vending/cache/thmb_com.whatsapp
(remember original permisions rw-------)
Data/dalvik-cache/ [email protected]@[email protected]
(remember original permisions rw-r—r--)
Now go root explorer in tablet SGP311:
Copy the above files on right same place and be sure give all same exactly permisions to all folders….files than original.
Replace any thing it will be asked to overwrite.
After all ready, be double sure all permisions equal than original of android phone.
Make reboot tablet.
Now open whatsapp app you already modified with appguard. (Very important be sure in appguard you unchecked the option checking phone network….) before start whatsapp. “In option manage your secure app installed”.
Now you will run whatsapp……..after running delete whatsapp from your phone android.
Some times it will crash unexpectelly, but mainly is working receiving and sending files, sms….....
Any doubts ask and I will try to solve.
Regards.
