since updating to 2.10.405.2 stock firmware the friend stream widget hangs showing updating on the bottom bar. some times it show new posts other time it does not , seems only to be when manually updating / refreshing.
resting the phone / force closing the widget or removing it and re adding, when it reloads it show all posts and time when updated.
I have tried stopping the services and clearing the data/cash without success.
does anyone has any suggestions?
when this happened to me it was actually a problem with facebook/twitter
if you have the actual apps you might want to check if you've entered the right usernames/passwords etc
if it was working when you first installed the system then a hard reset would fix the problem, meaning either your information is incorrect or even when you reset you re-created the problem.
thanks. i can log in to facebook and twitter no problems and go in to the friend stream app, its only a problem with the widget.
Since i've started my adventure with Desire I have problem with Friendstream widget. It updates itself when it wants and never when I want it. Sometimes it is stuck for 2 days.

random fix, i installed the Facebook app from the market place and now its working, i was using the stock app that was installed by default
Hopefully this is the correct section to post this.
I'm running Facebook for Android 1.5.0 on my Desire HD (pre-installed, running the stock ROM), and when I enter the app, it updates right away and just fine, no probs at all.
But when I use the widget, the status updates don't update. It does however update how long ago the status updates that are displayed, were posted.
If I clear data and force close the app and then set it up again (I have set it to NOT sync my contacts, as Facebook for Sense is already doing this), it updates fine, sometimes for a couple of hours, sometimes more, then it stops updating again and I can start all over.
Any idea what's going on with this? Anybody else experiencing the same?
Thanks in advance for your input.
Yeah, same problem here. Doesn't bug me much, but that's me.
My Nexus 7 2013 or FHD or whatever has been working great since day one. I was just now listing to some music, and put it on pause to speak with a co-worker. I just came back to my desk with the Nexus boot up logo showing. It took a very long time (3-5 minutes) for it to finish booting up.
After unlocking the tablet I'm greeted with "Google Play Services stopped working." Instead of loading NovaLauncher right away it it asks me if I want to launch the default launcher or NovaLauncher. Selecting Nova greets me with the default NovaLauncher layout--all of my icons and folders have been lost to the default. And I no longer have a PIN set or anything.
Poking around further it seems several other things have lost data. Swiftkey wants me to re-download the English layout and complete setup. All of the stock system apps want updates. And I keep getting pop ups saying Google Play Services has crashed.
What's really odd is when I want to bring this up on another forum someone else posted a very similar experience:
The Nexus 7 is great but my experience was short lived.
I don't know if it was a bad tablet or bad encryption but something seriously broke. I wanted to add my company email to my tablet and part of that process involves enabling encryption on my device. Everything was fine and running well, until I plugged it in for the night. At some point my Nexus rebooted and it was at the pre OS screen asking for encryption credentials. I thought that was weird but entered my info. It chugs along fine until it loads my lock screen where I immediately notice it no longer was asking for a PIN and my background changed back to the default. I go to my home screen and noticed my widgets weren't loading and I started getting error messages saying Currents and Play Store stopped responding. I try and access those apps but they go straight to a crash message.
I go ahead and factory reset it and when I tried to reapply the encryption it would go through the motions but it would never encrypt. I thought it was a bad reset and reset it again. Now it just hangs where it says Google and never boots up.
I ended up calling Google Support and I'm getting my Nexus replaced. Has anyone else experienced anything like this before?

I don't have encryption but I do have an exchange account added. There wasn't any remote wipe or anything. I haven't tried a factory reset yet but we'll see if I have the same issues the other person was having.
It's a little concerning to see someone else have almost the exact same thing happen. Makes me worried there's some defective memory out there. Has anyone else heard of this happening?
I've had some really strange experiences the last couple of days with my N7 as well. Bear with me as i try to explain.
I picked up my N7 after work yesterday and noticed the Fandango app had an update waiting. I tapped 'Update', and then went to check something in the Play app settings, and noticed the version was 4.2.9. When the Fandango app finished updating, i opened it up to check out some showtimes. After that i went back to the Play app, into the settings again, and noticed that the app version had been bumped up to 4.3.1. When i tapped the home button, the N7 locked up, and i couldn't do anything at all. I powered it down and attempted to reboot, but no luck. I could get as far as the boot animation, but no further, no matter how long i let it run, or how many times i attempted to reboot. The only thing that worked was to completely wipe everything via fastboot, reinstall 4.3, and start from scratch. I thought my problems were solved, as everything seemed to work fine once i got everything re-installed and configured again.
Until i came home from work today, that is.
Upon arriving home, i unlocked my N7 and was greeted by several dialog boxes indicating that both the stock calendar app and Currents had crashed. Neither app could be opened, as they'd immediately crash, and the stock launcher would also crash, even though i use Nova Launcher. I thought maybe uninstalling/reinstalling updates for Calendar, would help, but the Play Store would crash immediately and could not be launched. I went into settings>apps and tried uninstalling updates and clearing data for all three apps, but only the Play Store app seemed to benefit from this. Nothing seems to help Calendar or Currents. They won't sync or open, and i've also just noticed that the Gallery immediately force closes when i try to launch that, too. My Google Voice app, which i used last night with no problems whatsoever, had lost all its data and had to be reconfigured from scratch. I'm still going through the rest of my apps one at a time to see if there are problems with any of them, but so far all other Google apps are working properly.
I'm perplexed as to what the problem is. Software issue? Hardware issue? In any case, i'm calling Google Support to ask for a replacement, just to be safe. I'm hoping that the N7 i have now is just a lemon, and not indicative of more widespread problems.
I bought two, one works flawlessly (knock on wood) and the other one **** the bed after three days of use. I am returning it for a new one.

I'm all setup to return this one, and not a moment too soon as it's acting even wonkier now. DashClock force closes, and i'm finding some apps have had their data erased, while others are working normally. Hopefully the replacement works as it's supposed to, because i'll be really annoyed if i have to go through three or four tablets before i get one that works.
I just had almost the exact same issue, opened SoundHound premium and the nexus 7(2103) crashed.
After like 5mins it boots up, with my google account deleted (with it all my paid apps), all the google apps updates and google services crashing.
and above all extremely slow.
I'm now re-registering my account, to see if ir returns to normal.

Did you have an exchange account set up on the Nexus?
After this happened to me I wiped everything (I wanted to unlock the bootloader anyways) and things are going fine. If it happens again I'm going to exchange it.
Hi all!
I've encountered weird problem on my international HTC One X.
After about 3 to 4 days of use my phone starts to get very slow and laggy on every menu and application. And when I open the applications menu, I see many programs which I've had earlier but have then deleted them (attached screencap showing what I'm talking about). If I click on any of those deleted 'ghost' apps, there's just message saying the app is not installed.
The problem goes away again for about 2-4 days when I reboot my phone.
Also the problem just started appearing all of a sudden, I didn't install any new app prior to this problem.
I have always had Avast antivir running in background, and I recently changed to F-Secure Safe. Both Avast and F-secure scans have never found any malicious software.
Anyone got any idea what is going on?
Software versions on my phone:
Android 4.2.2 (non-rooted)
HTC Sense 5.0
Software number 4.18.401.4
HTC SDK API 5.41
Solved
I happened to delete game Throne Rush, and the problem has not occurred anymore.
These are cached in your launcher.
Clean your HTC sense launcher cache.
Will solve the problem
Recently the Email application seems to have renamed itself on the App screens to be called ACTIVITY_ENTRY_NAME instead of Email. Everything works but I'm so fussy that this annoys me and I'd like it to say Email like it used to.
Does anyone have the stock email APK so that I can try reinstalling this to see if that fixes the issue. Or can anyone recommend any ways to correct this.
Have done a reset of the device and have also upgraded to 10.5.1 and rerooted again and nothing has fixed it.
The application name changed about the same time as all the issues with Google Play Services stopped working messages occurring.
