Develop Bugs

Office Programs take more than 1 minute to load

Is anyone else having this issue yet? I have asked this on the rom development page and it seems that I may be the only one experincing this.
I have NRG's 10\28 rom loaded and I have removed many of my installed programs and I can not get the Office programs to load quickly. I have Nrg's rom 10\17 or so loaded on my wife's phone but hers doesnt seem to be doing this.
I am suspecting that it is something that I am installing that is doing this but I am not sure.
I have even downloaded the office 2010 beta today and it stil does it.
It does stop doing it for about a half a day if I reboot many times till it behaves, but then after about a half a day, it is back to taking more than 60 seconds to open word or excell, then about 20 ot 25 seconds to close it.
Any ideas??
Thank you all for looking at this.
Jeff

Takes no more than a few seconds max on my Tilt 2, I don't know man.

Same porb here, i dont think its a ROM issue as it did the same thing on most of the roms i flash. i just thought i was a WM thingi, and the worst part is it takes near 10 sec to open a NEW word doc..

Finally, someone else is also having this issue.
I have a slightly older version of the Energy rom on my wife's phone and hers is always fast to open.
I have been uninstalling programs one by one to see if one of them is affecting it.
What I have found is that as I install a couple, it will start working good, then a a few hours later, it goes to 1 min to open again.
And I am not even opening a file, just click on the excell icon, so that eliminates the bad file thing.
I will let you know what I find.
So do you have many apps installed? I have a lot, to many to mention here at this time, but if you only have a few, please list them and I will see if there are any in common between us.
Thanks,
Jeff

I had this problem on my AT&T Tilt 1 a long time ago. I was able to isolate the cause of the problem to sending/receiving Email over mobile data (wouldn't happen if the update was via wifi). Unfortunately the only thing that solved my problem was a hard reset .

interesting you mentioned wifi, i just observed today that it does not take a long time to open when i am on wifi, then i switched to no wifi, and it was taking lont time to open excel.
turned wifi back on and sure enough, excell opened quickly.
i then turnrd off my wifi network plugin, (disabled my map network drive) and now it seems to be opening excell just fine reguardless of wifi or not.
i will continue to test this ane report back.

Office Mobile looks for any files of the appropriate type (e.g., *.doc files for Word) on your device to open prior to loading. Before reading this last comment I was going to suggest removing your storage card, but if you have network drives mapped it's probably attempting to reach those while loading but timing out if they're not available.

So as long as I dont have my "enable Network Folder" clicked on the HTC's Network Plugin, it all works good. As soon as I click that, and enable the network folder, then it takes forever to open office unless I have the wifi turned on.
Man I have been fighting this for months, not sure if it was a rom thing or something that I was intalling.
I hope that others who have this issue can find this post and fix thier stuff too.
Here some searchable key words, pleae add if I am missing:
Office Microsoft Excell Word forever long time

The time is not correct.

I have a stock ROM Tilt2 and I am loving it. The best phone yet. However, the clock has been off several times. It happened again today, it said 3:23 PM and it was actually 4:24 PM. I have a cab installed to stop the 1h 2m flip (if it matters). I have figured out that if I turn it to airplane mode and then back to phone, the time updates to the correct time.
Is anyone else having this same issue? And is it a problem with the phone or AT&T?

I've had the problem before. When I had the Touch Pro(Fuze) from at&t but unlocked for Tmobile. and when i first got my Touch Pro 2. i never really figured out what was wrong for the fuze but my tp2 stopped. I noticed it happening when I would unplugg my power that's when it would change time when I had my stock battery. When I changed it to the seidio battery it stopped happening. I don't think the battery has anything to do it but it might have just be a coincident.

On my case, every time I do a sync with my lap top it changes me the time, no matter what I disable or adjust on Rhodium...it always changes me to a different time zone...

I could have sworn there was a setting in activesync somewhere that would let you disable the time sync with the host PC...but I'm digging now and I can't find it anywhere in the menus on the phone or on the PC client.
I wouldn't be surprised though if there's a switch for that in the registry somewhere, I'll see if I can find anything that looks related...don't hold your breath though

Also has happened to me...
I have a Tilt2 stock ROM, and have had this happen several times. In searching these (and other) forums, the only thing that I have seen that remotely resembles this issue is the time zone issue (which I must suffer from as well since my time zone is always reverting to Indiana..I live in Eastern).
The first DAY I got my phone I noticed this time issue, and I chalked it up to an incomplete charge up or something to that affect, however it happened a couple of other times. The time on the phone would be off by some major amount of time (several hours), and it was not just the hour that was off, but also the minutes (so it was not purely a time zone issue).
I could not find anything to MAKE it correct itself, so I manually changed the time to the correct it, but I have not found anything to address this issue. Luckily it only happens every so often, but I would love to find out why...

Happens to me. Hours and minutes off.
If its off by 8 hours, I know to just fix it. If its off by 20 minutes, I'm late to class.
There's an app in the software recommended thread. SynchroTime. It's your only fix. When you see the time is incorrect, run it and it fixes itself. I have no idea why the time isn't synced to Tmobile's servers, or even an option for that.

i have the same issue, on AT&T as well
I am having the same issue on an AT&T phone. I have been all over the phone looking for a place where you tell the phone to sync to network time, with no luck. My laptop was off by four minutes, as well as my phone, so i believe it is an issue with syncing to the laptop, but i would prefer it sync to at&t.
Any ideas?

The only time I have observed TP2 to be off by one or two hours, was after running a GPS program, that was wrongly configured. The GPS application caused also a time change.

Guys, don´t forget to vote!

Yeap has happened to me too. I'm using the stock ROM and it happened many times in the past. Actually what I observed was that the manilla clock was wrong (hours and minutes), while the windows clock was running ok. I have no idea how that's even possible.
I could not find out however the pattern of the above. I'm sure it has to be a manila thing though, cuz now that i have it disabled and using SPB mobile shell I have no similar incidents. It would be nice to know the fix though.

hey guys.. i have this problem too. i have a sprint touch pro 2, and i installed energy rom this morning.
the clock is wrong because the time zone keeps changing to GMT when i live where it's supposed to be GMT +8
here's what i noticed:
1. for example, the exact time here is 8:30am, the phone always changes the time zone to GMT and using my local time, but the minutes are slightly off. (8:19am GMT) So when i change the time zone to +8, it becomes (4:19pm)
2. everytime i sync with my computer, the time corrects itself, and all i need to do on the phone is to change it to the correct time zone, and it's all fine.
3. the time becomes incorrect everytime i restart the phone, or turn flight mode off and back on.
4. when i remove the sim card and turn on the phone without the sim card, the time remains correct!
5. i concluded that it has something to do with the network. i went to settings->phone, and theres something there about time synchronization. unfortunately, i dont know why, but when i disable it on my energy rom, the time still updates.
6. i tried using the same sim on another windows mobile device. i turned on time sync on that device, and when i restarted the device, the time became incorrect also! but on this phone, when i turn off time sync, it obliges, unlike my touch pro 2.
7. the culprit here is the network. the phone syncs with the network's time, which is minutes early, and the time zone is set incorrectly.
why doesnt my touch pro 2 obey when i tell it not to sync time with the network?
i cant text because the time is messed up and the message gets lost in the recepient's mailbox.
i hope this gets resolved soon. i've been searching for a definite fix but i found none.

marv, did you do a hard-reset right after installing that ROM? It's always a good practice, and a hard-reset is what ended up fixing this issue when it happened to me.

Found a solution that works for me
yup.. newly flashed rom.. and i hard reset a lot of times..
anyway.. i found a fix for it! i guess this is what many people around the forum are looking for. for some reason, the time synchronization setting in settings-phone doesnt seem to work.. i dont know why.. so i edited it through the registry..
go here:
HKLM\Drivers\BuiltIn\RIL
and anything that says time sync or time zone sync, i changed it to 0. all is well now. and i'm so happy i found a fix myself.

Other than editing your post above to have a title like "Found a solution that works for me", that's all I know of. You could create a new post, but I would probably hold of on that until (if) you hear from other members that your method worked for them as well

oh alright..

this problem ocurs normally when you got your phone set to synchronize the time with your network,problem is that some network don't broadcast the right time sometimes.
you can disable it by looking in phone settings for network time tab and untick the box.
setting vary from from windows builds.
alternatively import the following reg setting to you registry;
HTML:
REGEDIT4
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Drivers\BuiltIn\RIL]
"NITZEnable"=dword:00000000

2.2 do not support Chinese？
and will it？

Mine is Diamond，where I can find a lite rom for android.

232603 are you talking about the language support? wouldn't see any reason it wouldn't be supported in the future if it isn't already.
as for a literom, are you gsm or cdma? are you looking for a rom to boot android or dualboot android and winmo?

We haven't built it in. I'm sure we have it in the source though. once the builds start getting more stable i'll start adding those in. For now we just fixing bugs.

Bypass Google Accounts? Or alternatively set it up over a wireless network.
Howdy,
I have been watching the Android development for the Fuze with quite some interest for a while now, and it has made leaps and bounds over the past several months to the point where I decided to try it out.
It successfully booted into Android; however, I have data access to my phone disabled. This seems to cause the Google accounts set up to fail and causes some sort of infinite loop where it keeps asking to set up my account
Is there A) any way to bypass the Google Account set up and set it up later or B) jump on a wireless network (or alternatively jump to shell)?
Any and all help is greatly appreciated!

Hi, i've been using xandroid since last month and everything is running OK except the battery is draining and charging quickly (1-2 hours) which is pretty unusual for normal usage or charging.
What I've noticed that this can also happened even in sleep mode. Did there is any way to preserve battery power? Usually it can stand up to 8 hour on WM6.5 (gps, data connection on).
I am using HTC Touch Pro (RAPHAEL).
Anyway it was the greatest effort you have put to make this device running Android

It is truly a problem when you only get a couple of hours of usage and even on sleep mode. There must be something you're using that keeping the device awake. To test what happening you can use adb logcat and it will let you know which process is kept on running or you can start a new build and test every app individually. Its a lengthly process but in the end if will help you and allow you to achieve greater battery life in the long run.

remap hard keys? my hard keys on the front bottom of the phone don't seem to work other than directional. Is there a way to make them work for back and menu? or remap some keyboard key to back and menu?

i changed the wall paper and then got into the endless xdaandroind logo boot screen. WTF ???? lost everything because of a wall paper from the ROM gallery which suppose to be ok.

A couple of questions about 2.2:
1. Is there anyway we can get slide to answer back?
2. Has 3d been activated on this build?

hi guys ive a htc touch pro and im using the latest energy rom on it but having problems in loading/booting android on it , whenever i open haret.exe via browser it just hangs and nothing happens , ive tried the same with other roms like tael rom and default rom and it runs on both of them so any idea how to fix this issue ?? thanx in advance

ROM has no effect on Android, that we've found.
Sounds like you didn't copy the startup.txt... Did you follow all the directions?

Yep there are definitely some stability issues and will create an infinite loop. Until we get the builds more stable these issues will be present

Isn't slide to answer default? Otherwise we'll implement it in future builds
And yes 3d is activated in this build. From the very beginning of 2.2 and recently back into 2.1

This sounds like a very strange behavior and making a layout like this would be kind of useless. Does those buttons work in winmo?

yahoo issues?
ok guys weird problem. not sure if anyone else has it.
i use mail.yahoo.com at work. it has the chat feature. i use it to send text and msg's while at my desk.
i've noticed that since i've started using froyo, whenever my phone boots up or comes out of deepsleep, i get signed out of my yahoo chat with a message that i've been signed in somewhere else.
now i have no messenger on my device. i have yahoo mail through the stock android email app along with my gmail and exchange mail. i also have a yahoo news widget.
i have had my g/f send me a message after i am kicked out. on her messenger it lists me as mobile. i have never received a message from her on my device.
any ideas on this?

[Q] Droid Incredible Newb Question

As we all know the stock ROM that verizon pushes to our phone has a new annoying feature. When u connect the phone to the PC it makes a virtual CDROM drive. Ever since that got created on my phone it has caused me nothing but headaches. Namely that it causes my optical (DVDRW) drive tray to cycle open and closed. I thought that once I rooted my phone and installed a custom ROM that would go away. Sadly this is not the case. how do I get my phone to stop creating this virtual drive? Im assuming there is something in the ROM that can be changed to stop this. Now I know there is usually a CDROM.ISO file that exists in the stock HTC ROM and if u remove/rename that the drive wont show up in My Computer. My question is why does the HTC Android Phone USB device still appear on my system? Is there a way to prevent my phone from doing this? I am really tired of having my drive tray open and close for hours on end. I have taken to disabling the DVDRW in the device manager to get it to stop. I want to avoid doing that. Please help.

Nobody has any ideas??

Well I have some news. After I posted here on a whim I decided to send a support email to HTC. And they responded with some nifty instructions.
1. dial ##7764726
2. hit call
3. Type password 000000 (thats 6 zeros)
4. hit feature settings
5. choose cdrom
6. click disable
7. hit menu then commit modifications (it will say no item changed)
I tried the above instructions but I did not get any password box. It actually called the number. Maybe this only works if you are on the stock ROM? Anybody have any ideas about this?

The tip that they gave you won't stop it from showing up as a CD-ROM Drive. All that does it prevents that prompt for VZW driver installation. Any ROM based on the stock ROM (Virtuous, Skyraider, Redemption, etc.) will have this CD-ROM drive show up, though most of those ROMs have the driver issue disabled by default.
Switching to an AOSP ROM (like Cyanogen(mod)) will get rid of it.

I tried the HTC tip from within the stock rom and it does show up.
Why is it that this was never removed from any of the roms based on the stock rom?
I have tried Cyanogenmod and it restarts on me at the wierdest times.I can not even be doing anything with it. And poof it will restart. Dunno why either.

Rooted, yes? SwiFTP from market, no USB cable necessary.
Sent from my ADR6300 using XDA App

Yes its rooted. Thats how i got cyanogenmod flashed enuf to know its restarting for no reason. Seeing as my 2yo lost the wall charger adaptor somewhere in the house its the only way I have of charging my phone. its also how I put my audio books and music on my phone. The amount of data moving across is more than what a wireless connection should transfer. Its alot faster with a direct connection. Besides, Doubletwist airsync is not worth the money.

CM6 or CM7? CM6 is stable. Minor bugs, but reboots shouldn't be noticeably more than stock. On stock, I'd get maybe one reboot per week. On CM6, about the same.
CM7 is considered in an alpha state right now. It's going through nightly builds. Each build adds a feature or two, and then the next build is meant to add in another feature or two, while fixing bugs that came up from the last build's feature introduction. We may not see a release candidate for at least another month due to the fact that their remaining feature list to be implemented is still rather long.
Bottom line is, if you're slamming CM7 for stability, well, that's to be expected. It's not even officially in beta yet. The sad thing is, it's more stable than all but the grade-A ROMs out there today.

No CM7 for me. I live and breath with my phone to use something that is still being developed. I had flashed the following flavors of ROM:
Incredibly Re-Engineered rebooted 4 times in a matter of 8 hours.
Cyanogenmod 6 stable rebooted twice in the same time period.
I flashed nothing else to the phone except the radio which is 2.15.00.11.19. I did the radio b4 I even got around to flashing the rom and never had a single issue with it. Wanted to make sure nothing was gonna go south b4 moving on. Had the radio flashed for over a week and never had to restart my phone once. Im just trying to find something other than the stock rom.
I like the cyanogen rom cause it has the vanilla interface. Thats the first thing I flashed. Only part I didnt like about it was the camera interface. Felt like I had less control over settings. Also there are no ability to do wide screen pics from what I have been able to figure out. i like that ability. Hence the switch to the Reingineered. Was happy with it for the most part. Felt snappier than the stock interface only had a problem hitting the button for the phone cause it was so blasted small on the screen. Kept fat fingering the home and menu buttons below the screen. I want something stable and doesnt lose any of the features I have on the stock rom. I know thats asking alot but one can hope.

UD?
Maybe try UltimateDroid v 2.5?
Lots of features you describe - I run it w/ InvisibleK's #18 kernel, haven't been happier.
Plus, no annoying popups when connecting USB

I do know that Skyraider sense 3.5 has the CD-ROM feature removed. That rom is based off of sense if you like that kind of stuff( I know I do)
So basically all that will show up in device manager (if you have Skyraider rom) will be the mass storage device(s): SD and internal. No cd-rom device detected from phone. If I remember correctly, I think the developer created a script that removed that from his rom.

Ill give it a whirl

SDCard bug? or something else

Well, the story goes:
My wife´s SGH-i474 (AT&T) had 4.1.2 installed, crappy reception, launcher buggy (it created more desktops everytime she wanted to delete one), and overall the phone felt laggy. She plays just 3 games, Farmville 2 CS, Candy Crush and Clash of Clans (she´s actually pretty good this one). Not too long ago, since the phone was only rooted to install greenify and link2sd to freeze the bloatware, she found out that it was possible to update the phone to a newer release; and I saw that there was an official OTA to 4.4.2, but since we are overseas, the stock update won´t go (it said that the phone was updated).
I dived into google and I saw that here on xda there was a method to get it into 4.4.2. And me, being the android guy and wanted to get lucky I tried it and succedded, but with one detail...
You see, I mentioned the games for a particular reason, 2 ouf of 3 work, Farmville for some reason doesn´t load (it gets to the loading screen and stays there at 0%). I left it overnight, with the option of leaving the screen on while charging, so that the phone won´t "sleep" to see if the game need to download a file and it was taking a long time, but no, 10 hours later it was still at 0%.
After that, I decided to install Logcat to see what was going on while the game at launch time. Surpringsinly, logcat was unable to save the log to the "sdcard". , another dive into google revealed that there was indeed a bug on the sdcard permissions (never knew that this kind of thing would happen to the gigantic Google, OMG ), and there were several fixes available, which I tried, even manually (just to see that the apps did indeed what they advertised, but to be true, the stock rom that I used had this fix already installed, thank you Mr even... or who ever went into the trouble of making all those files and instructions that helped me get into 4.4.2, I just don´t recall the nickname, but I do remember he has a beard )
Back to the point, I find it odd, that logcat was unable to write to the sdcard, and more odd that just a game was unable to work, because it worked before the update, but logcat doesn´t show anything related to "permission denied" to the Zynga app, nor to logcat itself when it wanted to write to the sdcard.
Since I am just a poweruser, I already wiped to stock and nothing changed, I tried another logcat application with the same result, so what I believe is that maybe the apps have something wrong, because I didn´t find anyone complaining about the stock rooted rom that I used. Besides that it was stock, and just rooted, I just wanted to know if anyone happened to have this problem and if they were able to fix it or have a workaround it.
Just to clarify, the phone works perfectly, and all the 51 apps that has installed (yep, she´s kinda a tech girl herself) work, except FV (which won´t go past 0% at the loading screen) and those to logcat applications that I used. (Catlog and Logviewer Lite, which can´t save logs to the sdcard), even the camera works and saved pics to the sdcard withouth problem (one of the things I saw reading is that maybe the camera would stop working but nope, just fine).
If you have any ideas, please, express yourself.

The kitkat update for google did in fact make it to where nothing could be written to sd. Google trying to get rid of sd cards for some stupid reason. Anyway, if the phone is rooted, try the xposed app with the external sd modules. Took care of my problems with that, not on my S3 because enewman17 is so damn awesome with his S3Rx rom that he took care of that, but on my Note 10.1 and Tab 4 fixed it right up

I see, could you be more specific about the xposed app, the name in fact, a search rendered quite a few, an I am not native english speaker.

I mustbe cursed hehe, I found the "app", is a framework, but guess what? I am unable to install because it is unable to write to the sdcard hehehe, I will give a try to the custom rom.

To mr Enewman, you sir, you deserve a cold beer, my wife is now happy, just a little glitch with the google keyboard at the first boot but after that excellent.

It is an outstanding ROM for sure. Glad it's working.
