It seems like nothing auto updates when you unlock the screen. Not even friend stream is updating.

Check your settings
Check the settings for the weather. On my phone there is a check box for update when opened & automatically. Also there is the update schedule.

Here's something really odd that I did. I had the same problem after flashing updates on my phone. I finally just ran the setup wizard and just went through the motions for the wizard. After that it somehow got the correct location. Try that

Excuse my ignorance, how do you run the set up wizard? Do I have to to it to this sense ROM as well as the cm7?
Sent from my HTC Vision using XDA App

go to your app drawer and use the app called Setup.
it'll run you through the first time wizard.
It did the trick for me. but it's just my experience.

which apk do i need for htcsense.com

hi,
i flashed on my desire z the latest cm-rom. everything is just fine. but I still want to use the service on htcsense.com (track the mobile, write sms etc.)
is this just n apk in the background, or is it more difficult?
Sent from my HTC Vision using XDA App
Hmm, I would have thought it would be a lot more complicated, needing the whole Sense framework.
Anyone know for sure ?
Actually,all I had to do was register the phone on there website by creating an account with them. Now I can download wallpaper's, ring tones and use all of the other HTC sense features. Works pretty well actually.

What rom are you running?
Sent from my HTC Vision using XDA App
in the signature is written cm-rom.
but how could you register your phone there? when i connect try to let my phone ring, it says "unable to contact phone"
My question was for utorrent. Im running virtuous and all i had to do was register with htc to use all theyre stuff. I was curious if he was running a non sense rom.
Sent from my HTC Vision using XDA App
i know you asked him, but i answered for him. take a look at his signature
I'm currently using the virtuos rom with the pershoot kernel.
Sent from my HTC Vision using XDA App
I just updated today to virtuous 7.3 wich adds the swype keyboard and a whole lot of other tweaks and fixes.
Sent from my HTC Vision using XDA App
Just to clarify some things utorrent is running a sense rom like myself so we already have all the sense stuff. The OP is running cm so he cant just register like we did. He will need at least some apks probly a lot more then that.
Sent from my HTC Vision using XDA App
My mistake I misunderstood.
Sent from my HTC Vision using XDA App
Its not a matter of just installing a certain apk. You need a sense rom which cm is definitely not. If you wanna try sense I recommend trying virtuous.

I had an issue with favorites and reinstalling the app fixed it.

Favorites are listed in both the premium and free version of the XDA App, but no forum posts, listings, or content when a favorite is selected. Please fix.

Same issues, no posts and wouldn't load unless uninstalled through settings-applications. Then reinstalled and it works, pain to have to readd favorites though.

The new update to the premium app is terrible. It's so bad I reverted to a copy of the free app even though I paid for (and prefer) the premium one. It's not right that they just leave it like that.

What's so bad about it?
The only problem I really have with the update is that now, pictures aren't displayed full-screen. It was annoying before when a resized picture would be really blurry, but now I can't see any pictures, and that's much more irritating. They're way too small now. It's just a thumbnail, basically, and it makes screenshot threads completely infuriating.
Oh, another thing, with the notifications for subscribed threads, it will only notify me after the first check, and not on subsequent checks, if it's making subsequent checks. For instance, say I get a notification that 2 subscribed threads are updated. The notification will say that there are 2 subscribed threads. Now, say it's 30 minutes later (or more; I just used 30 since that's how often I set the app to check) and there are 2 more subscribed threads. Instead of updating the notification to 4 updated threads, it still says 2 even though I never cleared it the first time. For a real-world example, I went to bed yesterday and woke up with a notification for 2 updated threads, but when I opened the app, there were 6 or 7 updated threads. These were all updated within a period of 12 hours, and my XDA app is set to check every 30 minutes. For some reason, after the initial check where it found the updates, it never checked again, or if it did check, it didn't update the notification.
I hope this is a clear enough description. It sounds kind of confusing to me, but I can't think of a better way to explain it.

I was getting nothing but empty screens in every section, not just the favorites section. It took three uninstall/reinstall cycles to get it functioning again. It still doesn't show favorites but I can live with that (for awhile) but the whole empty app thing was disaapointing
Also had problems with blank screens in favorites and couldn't add a xda premium app shortcut to my home screen anymore.
After a long press on the home screen and selecting it from the shortcut list I got a white screen.
After uninstalling and re-installing it still won't generate a shortcut, but launch the app instead when going through the steps above.
The only way to add it as a shortcut was to long press it from the app drawer.
Delete reinstall works great.

Please fix premium app!!!! Cant open app from app drawer! Favorites won't stick...

+1 on the favorites issue after update. I delete and readd them then old ones sometimes reappear, requiring another removal, but without fail the newly added favorites will always show empty subforums at some point.
Keep having to revert to an old backup of XDA app if I "update all" from the market.
Same issue here with the favourite forums being empty. Can't even delete them. Well, you can, but they come back when you refresh. I deleted them and re-added them and it worked, but after a restart I was back to blank favourite forums again.
PLEASE, if the devs see this, let us know what's gonna happen.
Thanks

Google apps error

After i flashed gapps i couldnt get youtube ,gmail,goggles,chrometophone,..etc
What to do??
Thanks.
Sent from my HTC Desire using XDA App
Verify the download as the latest, download, and re-flash again.
Not sure about Chrometophone though.
MarketEnabler
If you don't feel like reflashing,
you can install apps restricted to certain zones (such as Chrome to phone) via the market using MarketEnabler
Reflashing doesnt work ,i.installed marketenabler from market but i dont know how to use it,now what i have to do.now?

Fire it up, go to the "Settings list", long press on one of the listed providers, click "fake this provider now" and then you can install Chrome to phone (and other zone restricted apps) like you would do for any other app via the Market.

ALL apps force close?
Something seems thoroughly wrong with your install. At this point I'd consider a complete wipe & reinstall of your ROM.

I think the issue is with HTC. I've recently been getting the same thing, even though previously it would update fine.
I have tried to force stop and clear data but that didn't do much. Seems to be a random issue, it does occasionally update fine.
I got email back from htc, not so much help so i forearded one more explaining issue in depth. Few guys at work with htc phones are having same issues.

Browser keeps crashing

Since the update from htc a few weeks ago or whatever, the www browser crashes all the time. Never had problems before the update. This is not, use another browser so please don't do that.
Tanks.
Sent from my ADR6300 using XDA App
Try going to menu - settings - applications - manage applications - all tab - internet, and hit force stop. Then clear data and cache. Reboot and see if that fixes it.
No go. Not fixed. Crashes randomly quite a bit.

What are your phone specs? (ROM, kernel, radio, etc...)
Sent from my ADR6300 using XDA App
And what exactly do you mean by crash? does the browser freeze? does it force close? does the phone reboot?
I have always found the browser to be somewhat finicky (a whole bunch of ROMs, froyo and gingerbread). But, the broswer was made to be (very) lightweight, as is the whole system on a phone, so I expect some difficulties with heavy content and poorly built pages. The browser will slow way way down when dealing with pages with many embedded videos, ads, and such.
My most common issue with the browser is it freezes with a half-loaded page (except CM 7.1 which FC'd all the time). Most all of my browser problems seem to do with not maintaining a solid connection to Verizon.
Things normally work if I do the one or some of the following...
1. ensure good connection to network (move to someplace with stronger signal)
2. restart browser
3. clear cache, history, then restart browser
4. do steps 1,2,3 and then reboot phone (usually not necessary)
There isn't anything the browser can do if Verizon isn't getting the data to the phone, which seems like the most common issue for me.
Browser just disappears and on any page. Cache, restart nothing helps. It can go to any page and just disappear. I can open right away and then it's fine. Other times I can be at a page for a minute then browser disappears. It's extremely buggy unstable pos since the update to 2.3 long ago.

I assume that means you are not rooted and still s-on. Without being rooted your options for fixing or trouble shooting are very limited. Really your only options would be to do a factory reset, and if that dosent work, an ruu.
OK. I've done reset before and didn't help.
What's ruu?
Is there way to root my phone from itself not hooking it up to a pc?

An ruu is a pure stock image direct from htc. It is what htc uses to originaly program the phone for the first time. Download the Gingerbread PB31IMG.zip and flash it thru hboot. You can find the ruu here http://pvillecomp.com/?page_id=22. And instructions on how to flash it here http://pvillecomp.com/?page_id=79.
