Hello. I recently moved from the iOS platform onto the Android platform because I believe it provides a lot more freedom than Apple will ever allow. I used an app on my iPhone for a very long time called CoverMe, which is basically a texting/vault application that is encrypted and secure. The older I get, the less I trust those harvesting my data. I downloaded the app onto my new HTC One M8, but unfortunately it does not work. I open it and it immediately crashes, asking me if I want to report the crash to Google. It does work, however, when I am connected to WiFi. I emailed the developers about a month ago, but have received no solution. I'm not sure if anyone on these forums will be able to help, but it's worth a try. If attaching the logs/crash reports will help someone fix my issue, I can attach them.
Does anyone else have this problem with CoverMe, specifically on the HTC One M8? If you've come up with a solution, please let me know.
Thank you.

Just tried it and it crashed. You may want to email the app author.

I've emailed them on multiple occasions. A new update was just released today and I was hoping for a fix, but unfortunately it's still producing the same result. I'm going to attach the new logs in an email to them and hopefully that will help more.

I just launched the app in WiFi and it went through set up and everything. Try WiFi instead of using your cell connections.

I wrote about both of your suggestions in my first post, which you apparently did not care to read. I do not have WiFi at my house and therefore cannot use it on a consistent basis. Thank you for your comments.

If you want to get snippy, that's fine. But your original post only says it works on WiFi and never indicated you tried it on a cell connection. I was just telling you I got it to work.
Surely you visit a McDonald's that has free WiFi. Start the app there otherwise just deal without it. You don't have to be on WiFi all the time, just to connect to the app to accept the TOS.

I was not getting snippy. I thought it would be implied I tried it on my cell connection, as I wouldn't attempt to try it with no connection at all, and WiFi is the only other option. I used WiFi to accept the TOS and create my account a while ago, but it still crashes regardless when I open it and enter my password on my 4g connection.

I've been using the app you suggested for a little while now and it actually works pretty well. The only issue is that it unfortunately does not have an iPhone counterpart. That's okay, it will suffice until CoverMe comes out with a fix. Thank you for your suggestion.

Yeah! Try it only for installation and to set it up. Once installed properly, I think that will work fine after will cell connection.

(As I previously said) It still crashes while using my cell connection, even after I made my account.

Has anyone else gotten a message that this will be blocked if the service isnt added???
And if anyone can explain how this is something different that can be charged for if it is a feature of the phone... Using the same unlimited data...

Not sure about that, but if you want wifi tethering, look up barnacle wifi tether in the market.

If it keeps up, go to your apn settings and create a new one with the apn internet2.voicestream.com and you should be able to bypass the tethering message. If you keep it by default, mms will fail with that apn. You should be able to set the epc apn for mms only and the other for internet. something like that.
You can also try internet3.voicestream.com also. Speeds vary for the two apn's based on my experience.

Yes, Tmobile has an additional package you must purchase to use tethering and hotspot. 15 and 10 per month, respectively.

I've used Open Garden and never gotten a message, but you can also use USB tethering and avoid any greediness from Tmobile.
Thabks for all thw suggestions everyone. I am currently trying the open garden one.

Two tmobile phones using 5gb data/ month each for over 7 months, 4gb a month from computer using mobile AP....haven't had a warning yet. I read on another thread a long time ago that people where or where not getting notices depending on their type of data use....file sharing etc...not sure if that holds true all of the time though.

My sisters phone slows down after awile, and she uses netflix for about an hour, she gets a warning but we are no where even close to 5gb download.
I just got the T-mobile $30 5GB "unlimited"/ 100 minute prepaid voice plan.
In a short test the built in wifi hotspot feature in the stock Gingerbread Settings tab seems to work. T-mobile does not offer any add-ons for tethering on this plan.
Is it safe to use this built in feature, or should I be looking for some other app (open garden?) to do this?
nope this is what my dad uses and works great. if you have problems with it then get an alternative wifi tether.
clockworkmod tether is still in beta but I have it on my phone and it works great. google it. the software package you install on your pc installs the apk on your phone.
Me and my wife have been using the mobile AP for over a year and we just upgraded to ginger bread and now when we use it we get a message telling us we have to upgrade our plan and then next time we try to use it the Web will not work it just sends you to Tmobile. We tried downloading pda net from the market but you still can't go to sights that require passwords. It would be nice to find a way around this.

I actually got that message twice (on stock, never since running custom ROMs), but they never followed through. Of course I don't use my phones data for my laptop often, only on rare occasion and usually not for more than a few minutes.
Sent from my SGH-T959V using xda premium
Tmobile can kiss my rear end on this one, they certainly did NOT have a tethering plan when I purchased the phone and its rediculouse to try to charge me now for a feature that was on the phone and free for the longest time now

I have Foxfi installed on my s3, it works great for like 5 mins then it looses connection and I have to re connect. It just continues, are there any settings on the phone that hinder the connectivity after a certain amount of time. Also when it does this I can immediately pick up the phone and hit the chrome browser app and it loads instantly. So I don't think it's the radio or my signal. P.s. have screen timeout set to 15 mins. Thanks and please help , I kinda don't want to root and nit even surer if that would make a difference.

Settings/developers options.... make sure the "do not keep activities" is unchecked.
Otherwise, welcome yourself to the disturbing (and growing) number of data connectivity issues popping up with the s3.
Before I rooted I was using foxfi and it was the same ****. I understand it as the same issue as dropping wifi.
Sorry I couldn't be more help.

My youtube is touchy over 3G, might just be the connection but it'll play just fine unless I try to skip ahead.
Thanks KP.
I will try a different network today. Odd that the other androids in the house have no problem on the network. Thought it may have had something to do w the "officially unlocked" boot loader. But if no one else is having this problem it must be my network, or my phone. Maybe different protocols are used...?

For posterity sake, I narrowed this issue down to my network. Specifically the Airave 2.5 that sprint just sent me.

I'm having the most random issue no matter the ROM. On LTE I usually hit 40mbp/s down and 15mbp/s up and every single app uses this just fine...except for Facebook. I have to use WiFi for Facebook otherwise only about %25 of whatever page I'm on loads. The WiFi in the house is 3/1.5 so nowhere near as fast as LTE. I've installed a few different ROMs, tried uninstalling and reinstalling Facebook to no avail. Any ideas?

I think it's Facebook I have had the same problem also with you tube but it's alittle better now
stripped apart rebuilt with Clean Rom&XdaTechnology!!!
I am having this exact same issue. Facebook only works on WiFi. If I am on 4G I get tons of authentication issues. Only half of my news feed and profile will load on 4G. I have used Odin and went back to stock, uninstalled/reinstalled Facebook, and tried different radios. I called Verizon about this and they have no idea what is wrong. They are supposed to send the issue to the network team and then call me back.
I did notice that Facebook thinks I am in Cheyenne, WY instead of Pittsburgh, Pa. If you log into Facebook on a computer you can look at your active sessions. It shows devices and locations. If I log in while on WiFi it reports that I am in Pittsburgh.
This is a very bizarre issue. Does anyone have any ideas as to what could be causing the issue? It seems like a network issue to me.

I've got no issue with Facebook working over LTE/ mobile data. Maybe its an issue with the service in your area? If you haven't maybe try clearing the apps cache/data and relog back in
** well I reread and it seems like uninstalling reinstall should do the same thing so no idea other than it being your area mine works fine (version 2.1)

Unfortunately that did not work. I am leaning towards a network issue on the vzw side of things since it works fine on WiFi. Thanks though!

Honestly, the FB app is utter garbage and drains battery like no other. It's gotten a tad better recently, but your best bet is likely just going to http://m.facebook.com

Seems that for some reason, I am unable to load certain websites, as well as my netflix and u-verse apps will not load videos or movies. This only happens when I am not on wifi(only on mobile data). I contacted sprint through chat and their solutions weren't really applicable to the problem. Any one else having similar issues or ideas?
