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.

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.
Whenever I attempt to run a "specialty" camera application (Barcode Scanner, CamScanner, QuickMark), the application crashes immediately. This was not a problem in the past, but started yesterday for no apparent reason. The stock camera application still works fine.
I already attempted to fix the permissions, but it didn't seem to help. I also tried to restore backups of previous versions of the crashing applications, but this didn't help either.
Any ideas for why this happening?
Thanks for any help you can give me.

Need more info to help. Rom? 2.1 or 2.2? Did you replace the email app as this is normally the issue
Running Darky's v9.02, which is 2.2.1.
The email app, really? Why does that affect the camera apps?

To tell the truth as to why i am not sure but this was an issue with a few roms that if you used an email app that was not compatible then the bar coder app would crash and it would crash as well if you switched to video recorder it would also crash. Did you change the email app or uninstall it?
Once of the first things I did was uninstall it. Video recording still seems to work fine.
Will reinstalling the email app fix things, or does this seem to be a case-to-case problem?

Yes reinstalling the email apk should fix it as it as on all the roms with this issue. If you cant find it have a look at the Phoenix thread and grab the email zip from the FAQ

Reinstalled stock email, rebooted the phone and now everything works fine.
Thanks for this, I never would have guessed that a missing email app was the problem here. Strange bug.

I know I would not have thought so either but my guess is that it is wrapped up in the email app for sending qr codes or something of that nature. Glad you got it fixed.

When I go to my contacts list (phone contacts, not WhatsApp contacts), I can slide right to call someone, or slide left to message them. When I slide left, I can choose whether to use Whatsapp or the default messenger to text someone, but choosing WhatsApp does not work (nothing happens). Choosing default messenger works normally. Is there a way to fix this?
Not sure if you tried this yet, but did you try uninstalling and then re installing the app? I had some issues like this with some apps after flashing a new rom. This method did the trick for me, along with fixing permissions in rom manager for good measure. Good luck, hope you can get it to work....

So it is actually supposed to work then? I figured it was just some incompatibility issue.
And reinstalling didn't fix it.
If it makes you feel better, I just truer and it does nothing for me as well. Very minor I'd say as I keep all my Whatsapp chats open anyway.

Is anyone using or having issues with the stock email application? I am using it for exchange and i cannot download attachments, reply, forward, or compose emails. I am stock and never installed the update.
After trying to do any of the above, the program locks up then a popup comes up that says "unfortunately, Email has stopped"
any ideas?

I'm using the stock client with Exchange Server 2010 and don't have any issues. During setup did you answer "yes" to all the security and permissions pop-ups? It might be something on the server side. Does your IT department require a client certificate?
Hi,
I am not the creator of this thread, but I am facing the same issues with an Exchange 2007. I dont believe it is server-related. Everything is working fine on my GTab 8.9, my Galaxy Nexus and my Note (the phone). Only the Note 10.1 is having issues. It is also working fine four a few hours after a tull wipe and stops working later. Tried this three times, always the same result. Also noted down all the steps I was doing before it stopped b7t could not find anything. Last time it just stopped working after a longer time of inactivity.
It is always the same thing with this Samsung stuff... Changing anything with there TouchWiz, leaving a perfectly working system (stock Android) unstable and buggy. Had those exchange issues on nearly every new Samsung device, it always took two or three firmware updates after it was fully working.
Update: To give you some more information. Everything is syncing fine... mails, tasks, appointments, contacts. I am also perfectly able to create and edit contacts, appointments and tasks. But whenever the mail application is trying to open the editor window (so on new, reply and forward) the whole mail app simply quits.

I agree with this, also i cant open attachments. I set up my gmail account on the stock email program (i use gmail app) just to see if it was exchange or the program in general. It did the same thing with gmail. It is the program that is crashing.
Not trying to throw salt in the wounds but i also have 4 emails running thru the stock email- including my exchange which works perfect- everything syncs and no issues like you are exeriencing. I also had this same setup without issues on the 16g GTnote before i just exchanged it for my current 32g. no issues on either.
Let us know if you figure it out- good luck.

question to all with working or not working email. did you install the update or not? I do not have the update installed and my email isnt working. I just deleted everything, wiped email data and reset it and still isnt leting me send emails or open attachments
I found the solution! It's working for me and it is reproducible: Disable "force 2d gpu rendering" in the developers settings (sorry, don't know how it is named inthe english version, I am German ).
I dont think it was the update- because on my 16g i had the update and email worked, On the new 32g no update and it works.
Also, i can confirm as posted in the other - i do not have the force gpu 2d or whatever it is -checked... so maybe thats the deal.

Thank you so much. It works. Good fix. :good:
Problem remains...
Hi! I'm having the same problem... However, I already the force gpu rendering disabled and it crashes anyway. I turned it on and it's the same. Already cleaned all data, deactivated and activated, etc and nothing. It always crashes... Any idea?
Ah! The same happened with YouTube after installing the update...
And it's my second tablet, the first one did the same and I was hoping it could be some hardware malfunction... I guess not...
Thanks!

I think I got it!
I did a factory format and reboot and tried the email client. It worked all ok, no crash until here. When I installed Flash from Adobe, the latest version, it started working oddly... Crashed and even the touch was not accurate as before.
So I rebooted it once again and didn't install Flash anymore. Until now it's ok, maybe there is some conflict... The truth is that Samsung and Adobe don't include N8000 in their list of devices to run flash. 4.0.X up won't anymore.
Thanks!

I use Samsung Galaxy Note 4 SM-N910C that is rooted and running official marshmallow. All was going well for 6-7 months. But suddenly I am not getting push notification from the facebook app for the last month. The only time I am getting push notification from the facebook app when I try to login from another browser and a code is needed from code generator. Push notification from other apps, email, instagram etc are working. I have tried clearing data of the app, turning off platform, uninstalling greenify. Butnothing worked. What to do now? Please help.
Hi there so generally the facebook app is unliked around here because it takes up a huge amount of RAM. Many people here prefer to use an alternate client for facebook I've heard of some I think you should try some out if you feel you have done everything to activate push notifications. Here is a rddit link in case you are wondering about some opinions https://www.reddit.com/r/androidapps/comments/3k2ol0/facebook_app_alternative/

actually nothing can deliver like the official app
I wouldn't now since I don't really use Facebook. Have you tried restoring a backup through titanium or some fashion?

yup bro
There actually might be a setting that might have to do with this however we could have a better idea if you tried using the Facebook app on another device. Have you tried doing that?

No, I don't have another android device. When I use swipe pro, push notification works in that app. and in facebook app itself, for code generator notification and someone is live notification, push notification works immediately. Someone told me that this is facebook's problem. He faced the same problem. After his reporting for 2 times to facebook, they resolved it some days later.
Then you should probably contact Facebook if its a problem on their end that way you can now for sure if you can fix it.
