Hey, not exactly sure about posting in the right sub forum but i have a little issue
i am currently using a CDMA Hero for Sprint and everything has been going well after fixing the battery issue with a different messaging app, but now a new little annoying issue has arised.
lately when i have opened my menu bar for all my apps i have been getting multiple icons for the same apps
Examples such as Bonsai Blast and Teeter have 2 icons right next to each other that are the same. They both work but its kinda annoying
also some of the applications names are incorrect. instead of ChompSMS its titles is now com.p1.chompsms along with Google Voice being voicemail.xxx... etc
i have tried searching the forums quite a bit and haven't quite found an answer for this issue and am not sure if it applies to the GSM version (thinking it might be a bug for Sense UI)
anyone have the same issue?
i have tried reinstalling the applications and rebooting and it still keeps happening. (not really wanting to hard reset...)
Any help would be very much appreciated!
Thanks!
you are not alone, yeah for i have two print voicemail apps one with a long com..... something same with google sky and google voice app its odd but hey hopefully we will get eclair soon
I don't think it is the Sense UI. I think it is Android. They show the long namsspace name for the application...and some apps show other weird names as well. It happens when you reboot the phone, at least for me. I think it has to do with the way the apps register themselves when the phone boots. Or it may be sloppy programming in the manifest files. Not sure.
Having the same issues. Google Sky will actually show up as the first application, and titled something with about an End User Agreement. When launched it pops up the EUA and only option is a force close.
Not sure what is causing it either.

I had that happen also. I uninstalled and reinstalled the app and it fixed itself.

I bet if you reboot your phone the issue will return though...try it!!!
If that IS the case, see my post in this CDMA forum about app versions reverting. what has happened is that your app, in this case google sky, has reverted to an initial version, without telling you.

Just tested this and you are correct! Google Sky maps and Google Voice are the ones that do this for me.

I've confirmed that this app version reverting issue happens with at least 16 apps, not just the two Google apps you mention. I have a support question open with Google, so hopefully they can figure it out soon. It makes people think something else is wrong entirely.

I really think this now too,
so far i reinstalled Flixster Movies and Handcent SMS and when my phone reboots i get some different weird icon for both that are not the original ones.
also with the reboot, one of my original problems happens with the names of ChompSMS and Google Voice with their com.xxx.etc names
it has to be something changed on a reboot.
Google Dev group is on it. No fix yet though unfortunately:

Mercado, would you mind also informing them that a reboot also is causing apps to revert to their older versions? I think the problems are related. Thanks!

Oops! Sorry for making it sound like I am in on the android developer work. It is way over my head. Just thought I'd share a link I'd stumbled across. If it's kosher, perhaps you might want to share the url to your version reverting bug with that group. Not sure how that works.
In any case, it does seem like this is all related (missing icons, duplicate icons, renamed shortcuts, version issues, etc.). Unfortunately, it so far HTC has not acknowledged their role in the matter. Hopefully as the bug reports add up, they'll do something about it. Or, maybe they'll simply release Android 2.0 with Sense built in.

Ah, no worries. I have no shame, I'll put it in there whether it's kosher or not
After all, without visibility, a problem will never get solved.
Quick question. My transformer installs apps from the market fine but when im navigating around the market looking around the apps ive already dont show as 'installed'. Instead it shows 'free' or the price of the app. When i click on the app it shows as installed and it also shows the installed apps within the 'my apps'......is this normal????
Anyone else got this?
I have the same "issue".
same here.
I have it as well. I presume it's intended/design flaw.
same thing we me. i suspect they still need to squish this bug.
maybe 3.1 will have this fixed.
Thanks for confirming this, i though i was going mad. I half remember reading a review of honeycomb and it included this issue but i cant find it now. Its a hard one to Google as it gets mixed with people who cant install apps or cant see apps in the market.
I remember hearing that 3.1 would fix this problem.
Hmm i thought i was going nuts when downloading apps and sometimes they dont show up anywhere, hope 3.1 irons this out
Sent from my Transformer TF101 using XDA Premium App
agree, very annoying...
I had the same problem, I did a system reset and it all started to work also make sure you do not uncheck the restore device settings. I think that was the trick for me.

did i squeeze enough in the title there? lol
basically, i have an app, and the app did a major overhaul of its functionality and layout. soo for the past 6 months ive been intentionally not updating it when the market bugs me to. id like to just once and for all figure out some way to associate it with the market.
anyone out there wanna help me out with a way to do this? ive tried the titaniumbackup feature, but i dont believe it works anymore. i also tried changing the signature, but i always seem to break the app.
ill add "Thanks" to anyone responding with advice, thanks!

Just turn off auto updating in the market and you won't get bugged.
The titanium feature works for me even on 4.4.
Does anyone experience a strange glitch with the system behavior?
Like, when you press back to close an App and suddenly it would open and close a previously opened App.
Yeap, have the same, unfortunately I can't track what could be the root cause, didn't pay attention to it in the first place.
Could be a Google update or maybe switching to ART

I've never used ART, but its nice to know that i'm not the only one with this issue
Hi there,
not sure if this is a phone-specific problem or something else. I recently went from my LG G5 to a Zenfone 6 and used Titanium to bring over all my old apps. But when using Google Maps while driving, the app will randomly go into picture in picture mode even when no other app is visibly trying to open. Is there a way to find out which app causes this problem? Phone is rooted using Magisk boot image.
TIA

I remembered having similar issue in the past...it turned out to be a specific app that I had that kept doing that...(sorry can't remember it right now)

Do you remember how you figured out which app it was?

Hey,
To my best recollection, I think it was a bixby remapping app on my old Galaxy S9+ that did it. So unfortunately that won't apply to your situation, but it was definitely an app that was doing it.
Are you utilizing the PiP feature at all? If you don't, you can always disable PiP to prevent it from doing that.

Yeah, I would like to use PiP when it makes sense but not when nothing else is open
