[Q] Webpage check - Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi, sorry to be a pain straight away on my first post but could someone in the UK check the following webpage on their Desire?
bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-suffolk-11008584
I'm asking because I recently upgraded the Flash Beta to the full program and this page crashes back to home screen every time. Uninstalling the Flash upgrade does not fix the issue.
Many thanks.....

You linked in a format that is different to how FroYo does it (incomplete), so it looks like you're still on an Android 2.1 ROM ?
I'm on a 2.2 ROM (in the UK) with the latest full Adobe Flash Player 10.1.92.8 That page opens and runs fine each time. There is no Flash displaying on there for me.

Thanks for checking that out. I copied the link straight from my windows PC so I hope that explains why the format is not as you expect. I've managed to load the page by setting my desire to enable plugins 'on demand' rather than 'always'. That way the page loads but with no flash video, (the windows version does).
I was hoping i could just leave it set to 'always' though as 95% of the flash on the BBC site works perfect.
Cheers

Forgot to say i'm using a factory unbranded Desire unrooted with 2.2 update and Adobe Flash Player 10.1.92.8

You're right. Set plugins to 'always on' causes a browser crash even on the stock FroYo. Although I always use 'on demand' so it wouldn't be a problem for me.
Not very good. Now I can't start my browser as it keeps crashing on opening.

That page also crashes my browser. This seems to be an issue affecting several people, as someone else posted a similar problem the other day regarding BBC Sports pages here. Having just switched my plugins back to "Always On" and can confirm it's still an issue today on those pages too.
Does anyone have any idea if this is affecting everyone on Froyo? I guess many will switch the plugins option to "On Demand" and never notice it because of this. However, if you do that for these problematic pages, you don't even get the green arrow button to download the flash video.
I guess the other question is - is this BBC specific? (I've not yet seen it elsewhere.)

Hopefully now we have identified there is a problem someone can fix it! I tried another stock Froyo Desire today and it did the same thing too.
th3, i hope you fix your browser, hate to think it's faulty because of me Mine still works ok........
I've not noticed it on any other site yet, but the BBC site is my main source of info.

Does it with numerous bbc sites on my desire in uk too. Get dolphin browser from the market. Problem solved.
Sent from my modded HTC Desire... oh yea!

[ADDON] Facebook Rhodium Intergration [V.01]

UPDATE: If your using any of the new roms and are having a problem with the my profile page then use the file ive attached on the second page that should sort out the last part of the puzzle,..
DONT USE THESE FILES WITH ANY OF THE NEW ROMS FLOATiNG ABOUT
most new roms have most of the facebook problems sorted now, this was initially for people with the early versions of the new rhodium port,----
If you're creating your own rom you may still find some of these files useful so ill leave them here and when i finally sorted the my profile page ill upload all changes.
-----------------
Fb-RhodiumInt V01.zip
ok this is experimental and i take no responsibility for you having to hard reset your phone,
the facebook option has always been in the rhodium manila it was just left disabled so with a few edits to the manilla.xml file, it will then display the updates page in the all people tab.
there is a few missing manila files (that help with login etc) from quite alot of the rhodium roms/oems so now its just a case of finding them all,
i havent gone through all the differnt roms but im sure files needed will differ from person to person so hopefully if everyone intrested in this helps out we can find them all. i started from the rhodium oem package and added the files in the uploaded , so far i can see updates page, log in to facebook started to try and get updates but i dont think this is 100% and also the link to fb profile for your contacts isnt working.
So Basically
Working--
visible updates page in all contacts
Logs In to FB
NOT Working--
Link own Profile - not 100%
link friend profile
Don't know if you've got this working allready, but just in case
With Dutty's HD V2.2 Xtreme I think I got it all working (I think) with som reg edits! Manila even suggested to me wich friends I had in my phonebook that I also had on facebook, and linked them. I could upload birthdays and contact photos. Even status updates are displayed in my contact list.. To the people that manila didn't match between facebook and my phonebook, I could link to whatever facebook profile I liked.
well, could you please post the edits you made in the registry?
Have you had any problems with the facebook integration?
Thanks
im not sure if this works with davide's v3 im still looking into all roms, thanks for getting involved, if you can post the changes im sure it will help us get this fully done
I'm not 100% sure if this is everything I did, but I think so (I was just playing around).
In HKCU\Software\HTC\Manila I changed:
- Facebook.disable to 0
- Manila://people.page.hidden to 0
- Manila://people\browserlayer\peopleupdate.page.hidden to 0
- Manila://Peopledetail\peopleView.page.hidden to 0
I'm not sure how the facebook integration is supposed to work, so I don't know if something isn't working..
But all the things I wrote in my previous post works.
Remember I'm using Dutty's HD V2.2 XTREME
Oh, and btw, I get the link to my own profile also..
If i edit The facebookSDK in HKLM\Software\HTC to that I have a new message in my inbox, I can see this in the people update page, but that I didn't get to work if I actually had a message in my inbox.
Thanks to your tips, I managed to get the Updates page back into Dutty's Extreme 2.3, but when I try to login, the text box is 1 character shorter than my email address. All I can enter is <email>@gmail.co
Gutted! So close!
[UPDATE] Tried signing in with a shorter email address, but Manilla simply crashes and restarts
[UPDATE2] Having checked the FacebookSDK in HKLM\Software\HTC, it seems it did actually sign me in (status, birthday etc are all there), but it still crashes when I try to go to the Updates page

Same problem here.
It crashes.
I'm using V2.2, it works for me..
I'm actually on Dutty's Xtreme v2.3 and i can confirm that Facebook integration works 100% with his ROM...the only thing is that it links to the mobile version of facebook with TF3D in Opera...
Anyway, congrat's on your find and hope you get things sorted out with the integration to work 100%...
guys - only the MSVC version of Duttys 2.3 has the facebook fixes
I think the ones saying that the facebook page crashes are indeed using Dutty's 2.3. I say this because I am one of them. Logging into the facebook via TF3D crashes it, but the login data is maintained, so I can link the various contacts. The only page which consistently crashes TF3D is the main facebook one (IE the one not tied to any contact).
Considering this issue happens even after a reflash and a hard reset I am thinking it has something to do with the facebook profile itself, as the Touch HD regional settings clearly don't affect it (I tried it with my local settings, UK settings and US settings).

With or without the fix posted in this thread?
Thanks
EDIT
nvm, just read his changelog
The integration works on the mvsc verion of duttys 2.3 but still has the problem of the long email address.
I have tried using a shorter email address and it works perfectly
Any update on this

duttys 2.3 doesnt 100% work for me either, most of it works apart from the my profile link with reboots tf3d, its the same place i am now with all the work ive been doin on my own rom, the only rom i have seen the my profile page work in is davide V2 topaz rom, ill have another look at duttys rom again because you people have made me doubt myself. i kinda given up hope on 100% working but im sure ill get it done, so far tho my volume down key is no more. lol

Same here, I can link contacts to FB friends, but my on updates causes Manilla to crash.
I'm starting to get really upset. :'(
I have to say this is very good news! Since I'm on old Dutty 1.9 ROM I won't test this just yet, but it definitively looks like a step in the right direction.
Facebook integration was the only big feature missing from these new ROM's. I hope other programmers will join so we can finally get this working 100%.
if anyone is out there with the my profile issue still i used this file from the latest rhodium dump and all is now working 100%

Facebok App

Hi All
I have installed the new Facebook application from the Microsoft Website and when I run the app, it allows me to place my username and password, but then crashes and make my phone slow. (To resolve the issue I have to switch off and switch the phone back on)
I did have the Facebook-Ather version and this work fine, but the new full version (Facebook_v1.0.0.7p) doesn't
Has anyone else had this issue and is there any known fix’s?
Thanks
I didnt have this problem, but after i installed mine, i didnt really like it.
So i uninstalled it, and im now using the Fim programme now, which allows
you to use the instant messenger and look at your web page at the same time. Its so much better. Hope this helps.
Id say try this app.

Just yesterday I found that you can not add new friends using the facebook application by searching their name or email address.
the 1.007 microsoft facebook suck biiiiiig time.
Mostly with me it just says "fetching" for every tab and never gets the job done. And it doesn't update the stuff.
So I use opera on my HD for that stuff, fast - but many things are missing on the mobile version, like foto upload.
When you go to All contacts on your phone and check there the updates - once you have given your userid and pwd - it seems to find the known contacts quite well.
abe
i have one answer: use Iris browser. not only i am enjoying the full functionality of facebook but i can even play mafia wars ...
i don't understand the obsession with Opera. yes, our HTC devices come with Opera built in but after 5 minutes with Iris...i forget Opera.
with Iris you can enjoy facebook even in iphone style. just try on Iris:http://iphone.facebook.com
Thanks, I have traid this and it seem to work well.

[Q] web pages crashes stock browser!

Hi,
This is really weird.
This particular page:
h*t*tp://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/football/eng_prem/8906329.stm
(obviously without the *'s!) crashes my stock browser. I am running OD 3.2.1 but had same issue with 3.1.1.
Only that page so far, that I can remember.
Rest of BBC news website, Iplayer etc works fine.. Just that one page.
No FC errors, the page just disappears from screen and end up @ home screen. Browser process is no longer open.
reboot and clear dalvik cache no help. Also cleared browser cache and config, but no cigar.
Anyone else having issues?
thanks
I'm glad I'm not the only one! This is happening to me too - I first noticed the problem on exactly the same page last night when trying to check the football scores.
I thought nothing of it at first, but then today noticed pretty much all the BBC Sport Football team pages had much the same effect. The majority of the page is displayed, and just before completion the screen goes blank and takes me back to the home page. When I restart the browser, it defaults to the home page.
I too tried clearing the cache, cookies, history etc. but this didn't help. What I did notice however is that switching the "Enable plug-ins" Setting in the browser from "Always on" to "On demand" stopped the problem occurring - but I consider that a workaround, and not a fix.
At the moment I'm guessing it may be something to do with Flash on the BBC Sport pages. I'm not sure what's changed though - as I never had this problem before, and I've not (yet) had this problem elsewhere.
I'm using stock Froyo 2.2 on an unbranded Orange handset.
I too would appreciate any input on this one - but will also try searching a few more threads to see if this has been reported elsewhere.
Matt
Thanks fo the "on demand" tip..
That seems to have sorted that page.
Something is certainly fishy.
Iplayer is now telling me that it doesnt support my browser.
I had to change the user agent to Iphone (I'll need to wash my mouth now)
to get it to work.

BBC iPlayer seems fine for me - but most pages on the BBC Football site seem to crash the browser.
I found some mention of similar issues on another forum - but with the Evo 4G. In those cases there appeared to be 2 fixes suggested, neither of which appeal.
The first was to download an Adobe Flash 10.1 APK file, but this didn't seem to work for everyone, and I think it unlikely that will be a more recent one than the one we've just received with the Froyo update.
The second option was to do a factory reset and start over.
I'm not about to rush into either of these - although if I can find a version of the Adobe flash player that's definitely newer than the one we have, I may try that.
EDIT: I found the updated flash player APK on another XDA board here. This was version 10.1.92.8 (as opposed to 10.1.72.7 on the phone). It didn't make any difference for me, so I uninstalled it again.
Thought it was the news app playing up again as mine does this when going to some BBC pages from the news app, I hope the BBC fix it.

Glad its not just me. Seems like any page on the bbc news site crashes my browser. I am using Leedroid v1.9 rom (crashed on Leedroid v1.8 too).

Problem with Facebook/FriendStream - ARHD 2.1

Morning,
Using ARHD 2.1, working brilliantly bar one small thing.. I would normally ask on the thread but it seems its a little heated in there with people desperately waiting for v3.0...
My Facebook sync doesn't seem to like syncing up any more. I tried flashing to LeeDroid 2.2.3, then tried Buzz 1.3.5 but no luck. When it does sync up, my FriendStream widget says 'no recent updates', my Handsent messaging also doesn't put Facebook names to numbers. So Im guessing the Facebook link or update function is buggy?
Is anyone else having this problem? Is there a fix?
Thanks for reading!
I think this was reported in the news recently.
Google has withdrawn its support for Facebook, this is due to Facebook being able to collect loads of data about you via a Google API. But Facebook does not allow the opposite, as no API exists.
Where I read this mentioned that it was likely only to affect the Nexus S at first, due to it having the latest Android version.
Ohh... sad times.. Thanks for reply.

[Q] 4.1.1 HTC One X Share Menu Missing Apps

Hi All,
I have upgraded my HTC One X to 4.1.1 (HTC pushed down update, stock ROM, not rooted) and since doing that the "share" option available in most apps is very light on with the apps that I can share links/videos/etc with.
The two I use the most aren't there - messages (sending SMS) and gmail.
When I first upgraded the only for options were AndSMB, AndFTP, Bluetooth, and Download Manager HD.
Since then I have factory reset the phone, including formatting the storage, I installed the bare minimum of apps I use everyday and tried it again. Whilst the situation has improved slightly, in Youtube when I share a video I now only get: Bluetooth, Drive, Dropbox and Facebook.
Does anyone know how I can add the system apps back to this list, such as gmail and messages?
Thanks for any help you can provide.
Jason
$2 Fixed it!
Well after some more googling I found about an app called AndShare with fixed the problem. I didn't bother with the free version, I just went straight to the Pro and it worked an abosolute treat.
This is not spam - I just thought i'd update the thread for anyone else who discovers this same problem in future.

I have the exact same problem! I can't find the app you mentioned though, happen to have a market link for it? That'd be much appreciated!
I have the same issue. In my case it's just the Gmail app I an missing. It is out of the share menu in every app... Is there a solution yet? Where can one find this Andshare app? Thank you
