Friend Stream forcing close

One of the great features of HTC Sense on Android 2.1 is the Friend Stream app if you want to simultaneously update both your Twitter and Facebook status. However, every time I try to open Friend Stream the app forces close. Is anyone else having thisproblem or do you know of a way to fix it. It happens even after a reboot and task kill, so I don't know what the deal is. Help would be awesome.

Twitter's official app made Friend Stream fc on my DI. After I uninstalled it, FS worked fine.

I use to have Twitter's official all installed but uninstalled it already. I'm using Touiteur (which won't attach pics BTW), and Friend Stream use to work but then just quit all of the sudden.

Touiteur updated today and the changelog made it sound like they addressed the picture attachment issue.

Still having issues every time I attempt to open Friend Stream. Is there someone I can contact about the software issue? Honestly, its not worth getting a new phone but I hope it's something that can be fixed. It's pretty frustrating.

I'm having the same problem. It must not be getting along with something else I've loaded onto the phone.

Do you have any idea what app might be causing this? Maybe we have the same app loaded.

I had this same issue, I did a factory reset and all is good. In fact, it's even working better than it was before.

How do you do a factory reset? And if you do that, does it erase all of your apps you've installed and paid for?

I'm also wondering how to back up or access the apps in case I do want to restore the phone. I'd like to do the restore if thY will help the Friend Stream app run better. help would be appreciated. Thanks.

This is what I did:
Please note that all data will be deleted from the HTC DROID Incredible as a result of this procedure. This process does NOT delete data stored on the microSD card. We recommend backing up all of your personal data before proceeding.
1.Turn the power off. If your HTC DROID Incredible is frozen, pull the battery out and reinsert it
2.Hold the Volume Down button
3.Press and release the Power button
4.You are now presented with a menu that allows for Fastbook, Recovery, Clear Storage, and Simlock
5.Select Clear Storage by pressing the Volume Down button
6.Press and release the Power button
7.Now simply confirm your decision: Volume Up for YES and Volume Down for NO
If you selected YES, all data including third-party applications will be deleted from the HTC DROID Incredible. Once the wipe is complete, the phone will reboot to its factory fresh state.
I hadn't paid for any apps. So I didn't mind starting new. Perhaps if you use one of the backup programs in the market.

Alright, I did as you suggested and Friend Stream works fine now. Thanks for the help.

Will this erase any "Scenes" you have saved?

Camera doesn't save pictures!

For some reason, my camera does not save pictures! it just takes the picture and it is not saved in the gallery.
Also, my wifi calling mysteriously stopped working.
I am running the latest phoenix rom..
I have tried the fix permissions thing, and that didn't work either. Any recommendations besides ref lashing?
PS The phone still allows me to send picture messages, just not take any and save them

Any ideas..?

Try a different camera app

Most likely, it is just sending your pics to a different location.
Check the settings.

Hmm what kind of camera app? I tried both setting it to save to internal and external but it does not work
Sent from my LG-P999 using XDA

Get your cell phone flashed, if any software issue, it would be resolved... cheers!!!

Maybe you have a setting that makes it so you explicitly tell it you want it saved. I know some camera apps have that setting. If it doesn't show up in gallery try plugging in your phone to a computer to look for some jpg files or use an android file explorer.

After upgrade to ics... Freaky navigation voice change and media duplicates?

So my two biggest problems since upgrading to ics are.
1)all my music is duplicated.. Actually 3 times... And the first two copies don't play so I need to click on the third copy...
- how can I force a rescan of all my music? I think it's cached someplace cause restarting and/or pulling memory card doesn't force it to recreate the media list..
2) while using navagation, sometimes the voice changes mid directions to the this really Freaky voice lol...
Any ideas?
I also have blue tooth problems but that seems to be a global/known problem and hopefully that will be fixed soon.
Thanks guys!!!

Duplicate music files is an ICS bug, been there in the last couple of leaks and the official. To fix it delete everything in /data/data/com.android.providers.media/databases and then reboot. The media scanner will then rebuild the music indexes.
As for the Google Nav voices, I've noticed that as well. Seems to switch to the 'synthesized sally' when data coverage is bad, otherwise I believe it downloads sound files to play for the directions and street names. I'm just guessing here.

Did you wipe cache partition/Dalvik cache?

freaky old lady voice happened to me too man, thought my phone was possessed...
I just did a fresh install and made sure my TTS was set... since then I haven't gotten the messed up voice..

The only work around I've found for this after you delete the DB files and reboot is to never reboot the phone. The duplicate files happen when you power down or reboot. Annoying as hell but until someone figures it out you'll get really familiar with where your media db files are. Anyone have any ideas at all?

You don't need to delete anything.. Just unmount and mount external sd card. Always fixed the problem for me.

[Q] Help connecting my Galaxy S Blaze w/ Provision V3 to my computer.

Usually when I connect my phone to my computer, it gives me an option to activate USB storage and I can transfer data between PC and phone. I just installed the latest version of Provision and I can't find any option anywhere on how to link my phone to my PC. Can someone tell me how I link them?
Also, can I reinstall widgets such as TaskKiller? I tried via Google Play and I can't find it on my phone.

For the USB storage. You go into settings/storage then press menu key. Click USB Connection and then it gives you a few options. Click USB mass storage.. Now when you connect your phone to the computer, it will ask if you want to transfer files..

I tried that, it would show the options then they would all close. I ended up starting from scratch and reinstalling Provision and now I'm waiting for it to boot again. It took several hours last time, is that normal and should I expect that again? If not, what am I doing wrong?
EDIT: Nevermind, I got it working. I just had to clear the dalvik and wipe data. I got all of my apps, widgets, and songs back. Noob mistake, probably should've looked into what I was doing a little bit more before I just started installing things, definitely more complex than jail breaking an iPhone/iPod. Let this be a lesson to any other noob who stumbles upon this thread. Don't be cautious with deleting your data, it will be backed up and you'll get it all back. I love Provision, great work!

Since I can't yet post on the original thread, I'll post my feedback here:
•The battery is dying quicker than it normally would with this. I listen to music throughout the day and before I got Provision, it would be at about 80% at this time of the day, but now it's at 60%. I believe the cause might be Ac!d, Dolby, and DPS manager. Also, I downloaded a task manager app (it would be great if you could include the stock task manager for s Blazes, that one is by far the best) and the Play Store refuses to close.
•The pull down menu is a little buggy, sometimes it only comes down a little bit, then shoots back up. The problem is usually fixed over time, but can be annoying.
•I don't know if I'm doing something wrong, but I can't install Swype onto my phone. I have a Zip file for it and I followed instructions exactly and it won't install. I tried going to Settings>Language & Input>Default>Set up input methods to find it, but then Settings crashes. If I could make a suggestion for a future update, I think the Swype keyboard would be a nice addition. I tried TouchPal, but it was just an awful experience.

*I deleted DSP manager from the ROM. It can't be AC!D and Dolby because it only turns on when your listening to music. Like I said on the Provision Thread, use different kernels like LZ or Blue lighting. Play store is fine in my end..
*I have no idea why the notification drawer does that. A quick fix is to just hit notifications again then close it..
*Look for a Swype apk. There are apks lying around XDA like the Beta one. To install it, just click on it like any other apk.. If it doesnt install, push it to system/app and set permissions.

1. App killers are useless...this is a Linux system not a bloated wincrap.
2. Beta Swype installs fine.
3. Pull down menu is extremely buggy. I have to relock and unlock my phone up to 5 times to get it to pull down.
4. the kernel that came with this is CM10 (i think), so yeah it will drain fast. Install LZ 2.3.6

I have 2 more issues. The first one is my storage. I can't take pictures or make recordings. I just get a message saying my USB storage is running out of space. I can download music and apps, but I can't use my phone's camera. The second issue is that I can't screen shot. I would assume there is a way, but holding power and home don't work anymore.

Get a file explorer, delete any unnecessary folders cache ,the Lost.Dir folder, clear downloads you don't need should free up a lot of space. Screenshots can be took by pressing power and volume down, or go to settings/ power menu/ add screenshot,

[Q] Video received via text shows as slideshow

A friend of mine sent me a video via text message but it opens up as a slideshow. There's no sound and the image doesn't change, it's just a picture. I've tried opening it in several different messaging apps with the same result. Any suggestions on how to view it as a video?

is it specifically that clip? try viewing another video clip and if it somehow plays as a slideshow, cant help you.
you could be recieving poor fps maybe.

I haven't received any other videos via text message to try out. But I can play videos from my gallery that I've personally recorded.

Morning agtonil
I have the same problem, and sometimes it doesn't even show up as a slideshow. I'm on CM10.1 and what I do is holding down the video or the message it came in so that I get a prompt to download it, and it then shows up in Gallery. You could try that, perhaps?
It's obviously not the best way to view videos, but at least it's a way.

When I download to gallery it still doesn't come up as a video, it's still in slideshow format so it's just a still photo.

My pic texts show up as a clip too. I've just gotten used to it. But it's a pain at times because it takes what seems like forever.

No he sent a video but when I go to try to view the video it tells me to "view slideshow". And when I open it like that, it's just a picture. I want to view the actual streaming video.

I understand. There's something off about mms and sms messages. Not sure if it's the aosp or the custom roms.

Do you think if I tried to open it on my computer by using Airdroid that it would play as a video?

Not really sure, no reason not to try. I don't have a solution either. Maybe someone out there will.

Well I think I solved it in case anyone else is looking for this answer. I downloaded GoSMS and went into the MMS settings and increased the maximum MMS size and then had my friend resend the video. It now plays as a video, not slideshow.
