[Q] Sorting apps - Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi Guys!
I got a problem with sorting my apps in the menu. When I select that the phone sorts my apps by date (newest) it does, but some some hours later it's not sorted at all. It's back to default.
I'm guessing it's some kind of bug in the software. Any one else got this problem ?
Cheers!

Can't Open Contacts - Helmi_c(V1.1)

Hi everyone,
I've recently upgraded my Rom to Helmi_c(V1.1) - which is really nifty by the way helmi . Everything's been spot on until this morning when I noticed that I couldn't open 'Contacts' on my phone, when I select it, it seems to open for a split second (The word Contacts appears in the title bar) before it closes and I'm back at the Today menu. Obviously this is a bit of a pain, does anyone have any ideas how this can be fixed or should I just reflash and start again?
Ah well, I just bit the bullet and re-flashed the device with the same rom and all is working now! I wonder what happened?
Possibly some software conflict, preventing contacts from opening.
You should have tried "Add Receipient" from Messaging and check if you were able to bring up the contacts list.
ok, I'm having the exact same problem. On a Apache, right after upgrading to aku 3.5
Didn't work. Any other suggestions ?

[Q] Android market problems?

Is anyone aware of or experiencing any problems with the android market?
I'm using a Stock UK Orange ROM. 25mb free internal space. Using Android market I can go through all the motions and tap install I get the message saying my item will be downloaded. The "downloading" bar appears and is animated, This happened last night. This morning the item had downloaded.
I thought that was the end of it but as I write this I've been waiting an hour for a clock widget to download.
Have also tried via appbrain but experience the same problem.
I can watch youtube videos and browse so I am online. Is there a hidden setting I might have misconfigured? or anyone else experiencing the same thing?

Since you have 25MB free, that is peculiar. Typically downloads get stuck in queue when space is low -- in which case you are getting a notification in the Notification Bar that you are "Getting Low on Empty Storage Space". In those cases remedy of course is to uninstall a few apps you rarely use. After you do that, the "Low on Storage Space" icon will clear, and the instant that it does, all of the downloads you had started -- but were all stuck in queue -- will now proceed -- instantly.
But in your case i don't know. Are you for certain NOT getting that icon notification? (just checking that's all)... Then this probably won't solve your case at all. THIS POST: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=7663366&postcount=17
No worries.
The only thing in my notification bar is the icon for advanced task killer, and 1 Gmail notification.
I've uninstalled a couple more apps but that still hasn't forced a download. This has only happened in the past couple of days and it crossed my mind that google might have been tinkering, but i've read nothing of the sort.
Just been to the shop and back and in those 5 mins Tajam (the clock widget from my OP) has downloaded... I've just added a pinball game, but it hasn't downloaded...
Is it at all possible that an application has reserved space? As in I might have 25mb free but some app has reserved some of the free space on my handset?
Nobody else had this issue then?
Any thoughts on a solution? would a hard reset solve this?
Try to:
- start your google-talk-app
- use the menu-button to open the menu and sign-out!
- restart the google-talk-app
- use the menu-button to open the menu and sign-out!
usually, after the 2nd or third time you do that, the download-process begins...
edit: you should notice that the log-in-process of the google-talk-app takes some time, seeing the spinning wheel-symbol on the top-right... just ignore it, start the app, wait 5 seconds and sign-out, repeat...
Thanks for the reply but I dont have google talk installed.
I'm thinking a hard reset might be my only option but it's a pain, and now difficult to download any backup software.
Found this thread http://www.google.tm/support/forum/p/Android+Market/thread?tid=57b5e3efa7477b50&hl=en
Started by a google employee, subsequently locked. Seems to be a recurring problem
I've the same issue, cancel/abort the download and start it again fixes the issue
Sent from my HTC Desire using XDA App
Hey,
I suffered from the same issue...
I literally tried every in the book but to no avail!
Eventually I had to add a file manager into a rom in order to manually download the apps from the internet and then install them onto my desire!
This is a repeat issue with the Android OS. It does go away after a while... Give it a day or two and it'll just literally stop with the issues.
Good luck friend
I had this issue last week and tried every trick I could to get things working again, even a hard/factory reset didn't work. From reviewing the thread you quoted from the Google support forums I got the impression that it was a Google account problem of some sort so before doing a second factory reset I changed from @googlemail to @gmail and for whatever reason after the hard reset this has done the trick.
Yes, I am having the same problem too and only started couple days ago... I can't download anything at the moment
Still no market downloads
After the froyo update for me, there's still no way
to update or download apps from the market.
I tried all the options now known:
Gtalk
Cache clearing
Factory reset
Etc.
What to do next???
I checked a few places and this seems to be a common problem. One thread on the market forums was started by a google employee, 400+ replies later the thread was marked as answered (which it clearly wasnt) Now the forums are becoming littered with posts on this same problem.
I've managed to sort it out. Settings>apps>market>clear cache>force close market>soft reset seemed to force any pending downloads.
But that wasnt really a solution, so had to export contacts to gmail. Change my googlemail account to a gmail account (as prompted when you login to Gmail in the UK.... then I had to perform a hard reset and make my Gmail account the primary google account on my handset.
Very annoying, and I'm in disbelief that google are SO aware of this and dont seem to be offering any help.
But for the time being it's working again. The suggestion on the market help forums is that the UK market is having problems with @googlemail accounts.
Well i never had the googlemail adress and i'm not from the UK, so there's more to
it then only that specific problem....
Pls advice....
None of the great developers here has an idea what's happening here or maybe a solution to this issue????
Pls help out guys?
Guys please advice, i'm just a bit desperate with this issue.
Nothing seems te help and google stays as silent that i lost faith they are going
to fix this....
Does this mean my DESIRE became useless??!??!?!
It's a bit temperamental to be honest, I left it at 'Starting Download' and sometimes it would start after a few hours and another time after about a day. Never used to be like this before. Google need to seriously take a look at this problem.
Sadly my downloads all just end in "failed" within 5 secs....
Had Problems downloading for a month
Hi All,
I have had this problem for about a month now. Never starts to download for me except if I do a factory reset then it downloads some apps between 3 and 22 apps before it hangs again. The phone is a Samsung Galaxy s I9000. Unlocked. I tried different SIM cards from different carriers and removing the SD memory. I can download from different places on the web like Samsung or one of the web sites that have the apps just not the market.
Has anyone else been having this problem for that long?
Regards

Same here. I usually leave the downloads "hanging" around. After 10 min. to a few hours, the downloads start.
Same with "Chrome to phone". Both apps use the GTalk service to send commands to the phone. Google broke something.

[Q] My Facebook app will no longer refresh. Anybody else?

Tilt 2 with the new ROM. Whether I use the app that is in ROM (1.07 I think) or the newer one from Marketplace when I tap "refresh" I get the hourglass (or whatever you call the circling dots now), but no refresh. I can post status updates. If I delete the facebook files from the root when FB first loads everything will be current, but no refreshing. I have tried uninstall, reinstall etc. No luck. I've been running the new ROM for a couple of weeks and this just started so i am assuming the ROM is unrelated.
Is anybody else having this issue (maybe it is a FB issue), or know anyway to fix this?
Same here, on the october stock 6.5 ROM.
Same...
I am having the same problem...
I was using Energy Sept, 7 ROM and Switched today to Sept, 24 ROM and still having this issue.
Went to marketplace and download latest version of FB and still having this issue? I logged out and logged back in and it refreshed but, It doesnt always work.
Someone please help us out...
I was just having a similar problem. Logging out and back in will let you refresh but only once.
Same here... I was just looking around to see if anyone else was having trouble. I'm running 11-SEPT Valkyrie_v7.4 FireStorm-LEO 23135 with Facebook v1.1.0.17.
KC
Same problem here ¬¬ I don't know what's happening with this app
I assume the problem is that Facebook has been through some changes, and Microsoft doesn't have time/interest to update their client.
Well I'm sorta glad to see that it's not just me
Happening to me too ... bummer
i have the same problem.
Does anyone get information from microsoft?
Add me to the list too
Please, complain here: http://social.answers.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/windowsmobilehelp/thread/79d1e81a-84df-4cbb-b258-c563b8a678bb
Lets see if Microsoft can hear us this time...
im in the stock-factory rom and its the same, no refresh in facebook
Mine hasn't worked for a few weeks now.
Mine has also stopped working.
Facebook App Solution
I'm having the same problem so I googled it and there was a solution (forgot where or who). Anyway, open file explorer and go to device. Now look for files that has the name facebook (I deleted 3 including a file named fbmail) and delete them, them soft reset. Now log-on to your FB account and everything should be as before.

Only works for one session.
I've had the same issue, and I'm affraid that Windows Mobile related questions will remain unanswered... This might not solve your problem guys, but this is the workaround that I currently use (already posted it in other forum):

Problem with "customize quick settings" in energy rom (23Nov)

I recently installed the energy rom on my evo (the version dated from 23Nov). When I go into the "customize quick settings" menu (under energy tweaks->notification menu options), it gives an error message and goes back to the energy tweaks menu. Please see attached image. It basically closes unexpectedly and I never get to change any of the quick settings. I was wondering if this is a known issue or not? I did a search and found nothing on this forum (or google for that matter).
I also had problems with restoring my mail settings with titanium backup, but I would bet you guys tell me that is a non-related problem and go pick a fight with the tb guys. Basically, after restoring stored mails and mail settings, the mail application fails to load (closing unexpectedly), giving a similar error as the one from above. I had to basically just restore only bookmarks and sms/mms messages and redo the mail settings myself.
Can anyone help with this? Or maybe the developer of energy rom can fix this and implement in the next release.
I would have posted this in the energy rom thread, but there is this gay rule about needing 10 posts. So, I guess I will wait till I get 10 posts.

I had the same type of problem. (HTC process stopped.) I think it has something to to with the semitransparent drop downs. I had to put them back to the original settings, and it has been fine since. By the way, this is by far the best ROM that I have flashed.

[Q] Peculiar behavior, possible OTA update these last few days?

Hello everyone,
I have a stock, unrooted Desire which has been upgraded to the official Gingerbread ROM released by HTC some months back and up to the day before yesterday was working fine.
Wednesday around 12:00 pm UTC+2 time, the phone started to show the com.htc.bgp error message on anything concerning weather (including the calender). My initial thoughts were that the device needed a clean factory install, so I erased the user data through the down volume/power procedure and then did a clean factory install from the SD menu, also adding my Gmail account info. After syncing with Gmail, the phone immediately showed the com.htc.bgp error message, so I went ahead and opened a new Gmail account thinking that my account might be corrupt... same procedure as before with the same error message.
Since I didn't have time to check anything else out, I left the phone fully restored with my original account and the error message popping up every 10 to 15 minutes till yesterday afternoon when the phone started to sync the weather correctly.
Till then, I've noticed a significant increase in speed (this compared to before the problems started), and although I'm not too sure on this one, the stock clock/weather widget on the home screen now does full screen animation of the weather; I don't recall ever having seen this on the Desire, just my old HD2 with win 6.5. Also just noticed another significant change... battery life is definitely much better than before.
My thoughts on the problems of the following days are that the network (possibly weather servers) was misbehaving and that there could have been a (silent?) OTA update of the stock Gingerbread Desire, possibly to disable the info gathering apps I've been hearing about in the past months.
Awaiting on your comments/ideas.

There was a problem with the weather api on HTC part.
Nothing serios. It's back to normal now.
LE: you didn't have to reset the phone, it was working ok.
Of course the phone worked better/faster after a reset, the memory and space was free of all the apps/settings you had.
If you format your pc now, you'll observe an improvement in speed/performance because you don't have a gazillion apps installed.
Thanks for the info!
The increase in speed is still visible even after I installed all the apps that I use (a handful actually). I'm really frugal with installed apps, having the absolute minimum for my work.
Please use the Q&A Forum for questions Thanks
