[Q] Need help with a weird problem - EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi I need help with a strange problem. I'm experiencing it so far with the sense weather and twitter, they are both not updating. On the htc sense weather widget, it updates the weather for the other added cities but fails to update for the current location. I have tried restarting and wi-fi to no avail. The twitter app is the official one and the widget fails to update, however the app itself does. I have tried removing and re-adding the sense clock app. Any help or ideas please? it is really annoying. Thanks.

Try a full wipe what recover u using. Use amon and do a full wipe and you should be good to go.

I would hate to do a full wipe just for that. Noticed this behavior after installing kasperky mobile security. I have uninstalled the app and restarted the device, that didn't help. Anyone else had a same problem and found a solution other than a full wipe? What would be a good backup software for a non-rooted device, in case push comes to shove and that's the only option I'm left with? Thanks.

Try clearing your cache man really no need for anti virus. The phone works like linux so unless you run something bad for root which no app should need then your all good. Why you afraid to do a full wipe just do a nan backup and you can do a full wipe to see if it fixes it if it doesn't just restore your backup,

Don't guess you've used that program Autostarts to stop unneeded apps from running at different times. I've ran into all sorts of different minor issues by stoppin programs from starting that didn't even seem relevant. Just a thought

Naah I didn't ever use Autostarts. I did use Kaspersky, and I'm highly suspicious that is the culprit. Anyway, thanks for the help, I didn't do a full wipe, I cleared the data on HTC Sense, and re-installed the twitter app. That has solved the problem for now.

[Q] Problem w/ Youtube widget?

Has anyone else experienced this problem? On cm6 and Fresh, I've noticed that the youtube widget doesn't work unless I remove it and re-add the widget every time before I want to use it.
Same here. I thought I was the only one with this problem. Atr first I was getting a connection problem message on the widget. So I uninstalled it and reinstalled it and it worked. Then it stated giving me the problem where I click on the search or upload button, but nothing happens. When i remove the widget, then reinstall the widget it'll work again for a bit.
I'm running the newest Fresh Rom.

Haha. Yeah, it's a good thing I don't use it that much, but when I do...it sucks to have to remove it and re-add the widget. =(

[FIXED] Facebook for Sense auto sync issues

Facebook for Sense is keeping my auto sync [icon] on, even though I have it disabled. When I remove the Facebook account, auto sync [icon] goes away. No matter how many times I toggle auto sync, background data, data connection, pull battery/reboot, NOTHING is working.
A little background:
Fresh 3.3.0.1, ran the omegasun script to remove all Sense stuff, then I put the HTCFacebook .apk back on my phone with adb.
My questions are:
a.) anyone else have this problem?
b.) anyone know of a solution?
c.) is there perhaps some other .apk that I need to put back into /system/app in order to make this work?
I have just spent the last 3 hours trying to figure this out, and I am tired of wiping and reflashing over and over only to have the issue still arise. Any insight would be GREATLY appreciated.
If I remember correctly, Friendstream and Talk were the two known for causing that situation.
Well I don't have Friendstream installed and I know it's not Talk because as soon as I delete HtcFacebook.apk the problem disappears.
Have you tried deleting the sense facebook and then downloading fb for android from the market?
That is what I have done. I removed the sense fb and installed the market fb app and dont have issues with sync. They are and appear as two different apps. Try that.
Are you saying permanently delete HtcFacebook? Or reinstall it after I install the market app? I don't want to delete HtcFacebook because of it's integration with the people app, the pictures and such.

I personally deleted it completely but that might not be an option for you. What integration are you talking about though because I have no problems uploading pics through the market fb app.
In the Facebook for Sense sync options, turn off Sync live feed. I think that tries to sync to friendstream. I am running this way and the contacts and pictures still work correctly.

My contact list is synced with facebook, giving me everyones profile picture for their contact card. Also, birthdays, events. I don't think you can do that with just the market app.

I don't have that option. I only have the option to sync contacts which I have turned off. I manually sync them when I get the urge to.

Yeah you can't do that with the market app. Sorry I couldn't be of any more help.
That's cool man, I appreciate the fact that you took the time to post regardless if it helped or not.
This is driving me nuts. I can't tell if it's actually syncing or if it's just a bug where the icon won't go away. My battery life seems fine so I dunno.
edit: It's definitely trying to do something because my wake time is 100%.

I just noticed in your sig you are using launcher pro.
You can create a shortcut to the battery usage info (the partial wake usage found on spare parts).
Long press the homescreen, shortcut, activities, settings, battery history.
You literally dont need spare parts for this and others. Maybe under partial wake it might lead you somewhere.
Yeah I already checked partial wake, Android System is maxed, dialer is barely there and thats pretty much it.
I'm gonna run the stock PC36IMG and then try to work my way back to where I'm at. Hopefully that will help.
I had a lot of issues with that Facebook app at first also. Now I realized that the Facebook for HTC Sense Live feed works with Friendstream like others have said. It also put the info in contacts showing their last status. Its is rather annoying and took me a minute before I figured it out as well.
Hope you the info in here as helped you
FIXED!!!
Ok, It seems I have fixed the problem. The autosync icon is gone and phone is sleeping again. Flashing the PC36IMG is the crucial step. Before flashing it I had wiped and reflashed my ROM multiple times with no success. These are the steps that I took, in case anyone else is having the same issue.
1. wipe
2. flash the rooted stock PC36IMG.zip
3. boot it
4. wipe again
5. flash Fresh 3.3.0.1
6. boot it
7. run omegasun's sense removal script
8. boot it
9. push HtcFacebook.apk to /system/app
10. reboot it
11. restore with Titanium
12. reboot it
13. $$$$
14. PROFIT!!!

Good stuff. It sounds like the problem was that you were initializing facebook before deleting stuff and breaking the communications between apps that exist and dont.

No, that wasn't the problem because I tried it both ways- flashed, booted, deleted apps and flashed, deleted apps and then booted.
I'm sure it was just some stupid bug that got cleared up when I went back to stock.

[Q] force close com.htc.bgp

i have tried searching for this issue and everyone seems to not know...
so i figured the guys and gals on xda have to know
so i keep getting this force close at random...doesnt seem to effect anything...just pops up ... i force close it..and thats it...
i would however, like to know what this is exactly and if i can remove it.. or remove whatever app (if any) is using it..
sorry if this is a repost..if so.. please provide link
thank you
Well i'm not too sure exactly, but you can either uninstall or freeze the app in titanium backup.
I had the same issue after I rooted but before I flashed a rom, while I was still running stock.
I think it has something to do with syncing account info.
I had frozen a couple apps & when I did this problem started happening. I think I froze twitter & a couple of other things. When I unfroze the problem went away. If you've frozen anything that would sync through htc sense then unfreeze it.

[Q] Uninstalled Calendar App

I was browsing my installed Applications and noticed two Google Calendars. Naturally, I wanted to get rid of one. I checked when I last used them and uninstalled the one listing some time in 2008. Turned out to be a mistake. Since then the Calendar force closed without error message on me when I tried changing into Appointment Overview (or whatever it may be called in English). In trying to rectify my mistake I first uninstalled and reinstalled the Application and when that didn't work I uninstalled everything even remotely associated with Calendars. Including Calendar Storage and Calendar Sync App. Really should not have done that.
I tried to install the Application again but it is still force closing and on top of it now i obviously cannot sync anything any longer.
I would really like to avoid flashing and was hoping someone over here would be kind enough to help me out.
I am obviously using a Galaxy Nexus with CM 10.1-20130411-EXPERIMENTAL-maguro-m3 and 3.0.7.1.-leanKernel-6.3.1-05165-g0f0c8df
Thanks alot!
Reflash the rom, kernel, and gapps package. That will replace the missing system apps.

Well, that was significantly less hustle than I expected and it worked admirably. Thank you very much not only for your expertise but also for your swiftness and the general lack of "you stupid noob, you are the reason for carrier locked bootloaders".
Cheers!

Anyone has problem with Google Now Launcher?

I got a fresh new Note 7 few days ago, and installed Google Now Launcher as always, but it works in wierd way.
After few hours, it doen't show some widgets in home screen, neither on edit page.
When I reboot the phone, most of widgets were back but some have been missing yet.
Furthermore, in appdrawer there's no app at all.
I can run app from Google Now searchbar and home screen shortcuts, but nothing is in appdrawer.
I uninstalled and re-installed the launcher but nothing solved.
I tried to clear cashes and so on but app manager says there's no such a thing...
I have to reset my phone I guess, but that would be such a huge pain in the ass.
Does anyone esle has same problem with me? Any suggestions?
I had the same problem. Reading from the S7 area, it seems like it's Knox that is causing the problem. I believe they mentioned that you need to uninstall it. I haven't tried it. Need to do more research first before I try it myself.

That makes sense, I recall the problem occured just after me setting "secure foler". I have to visit Samsung Service Center since I don't wanna uninstall knox. Thank you very much giving me information.
Just played with it a bit more. If you don't need Secure Folder, you can just install that. Google Now Launcher will work correctly after rebooting. If, later on, you decide you would prefer Secure Folder, you can just reactivate it. I just tried it. I disabled Secure folders for now, since I really don't need it and I prefer Google Now.
