Develop Bugs

[APP] Words with friends

Out now in the market, but has major issues right off the bat, notably no sound or notification settings. Sort of ridiculous to launch without those!

The lack of notifications kind of sucks. Been playing it and aside from those, there doesn't seem to be any other bugs.
I do get a visual notification in the status bar but without audio, its a pain.

It keeps giving me a force close error. Anyone have any idea why? ive uninstalled plenty times, and even cleared the data. problem persists.

Email the dev

After using it for the past few days, I do get FC's on a fairly regular basis. Not so much that it makes it unusable, but definitely enough to make it annoying.
I've read some other threads and this is one of the 'bugs' that needs to be ironed out. Hopefully they have an update for these bugs soon.

It'll get updates,don't worry.

The first time I installed it was plagued with all kinds of crazy stupid bugs and connection errors.
I uninstalled and reinstalled, and notifications etc. are working so far. Haven't used it a ton yet.
I can say that so far the UI etc. really isn't very good. and FULL PAGE ADS after every turn? extremely annoying. Considering how annoying they make it with ads, im surprised theres no paid version too...

I'm sure there will be updates. Question is when. Did take them a while to get the game out on Android.
I read on their website that a pay version without all the ads will be available in the future as well.

Update now available via the market...

Update fixed many issues with closes and errors, and gave options menu for sounds and notifications.
My current issues are:
1) Even when phone is on silent, the game sounds still play
2) I'm seeing some pretty serious battery drain issues since installing the game, even though I have the notifications push at 30 minutes. I've used other scrabble-type games for a long time with constant push notifications and never had battery drain like this. I feel like the crazy amount of ads really wastes lots of battery.

The update has definitely brought on some improvements but there is still a ways to go.
I still do not get any audio notifications. The visual popup works in the status bar but nothing audible. (Yes sounds are checked in settings and volume on device, both ringer and media is up)
I'm not getting as many FC's as I was before, but that doesn't say much as they were all too common at launch.
I have also noticed the battery drain. Not sure what exactly is causing it. Over the last three days my game play has been about the same. Day 1 drain was very bad. Day 2, it was normal. Day 3, very bad again. We will see what today brings...

maybe i'm missing something. I can't get this thing to stay open at ALL. it always FC's on me before I can even do anything. I've tried on both CM6 and CM7.
Any ideas? I've emailed the devs twice.

Seems like a mixed bag for everyone. I'm sure they've gotten 10's of thousands of e-mails. Gonna be a while before its stable gotta just wait it out.

I can get audio notifications when it pops into the status bar, only it doesn't seem to be effected by the sound status of my phone, so I just turned it off for now.
I have also noticed battery drain. I've been making maybe 20-30 plays per day maximum over a few games and my battery is just tanking. Words with Friends shows up in my battery status chart as 3%-5% of battery (which in itself is bad that its actually a quantifiable amount of battery drain), but I know its gotta be draining more, even with notifications on a 30min timer. I've been using WordSmith (very similar) for a few weeks now with push notifications and way more plays with no effect on my battery life so this is a Words with Friends issue.
I should also note that the last few times I've opened the app, something regarding the banner ad at the bottom of the page crashes, and blankets the whole screen with an HTML error. Sometimes it disappears and the ad blanks out, but other times I can't do anything about it. I don't think this is related to running the adFree Android app, but who knows with the level this app is running right now.

So you think it has something to do with adFree? I'm not sure about that as it works sometimes and not others, and it used to work fine before the update and now it doesn't. Cuz sometimes WWF will load just fine with a black bar at the bottom (per usual when u have adFree installed) and I can use it fine. But i'd say about 2/3 the time I get the full-screen HTML ad error. I haven't seen this happen in any other app ever and I've had adFree for several months now. Really weird.
Decided to just uninstall. Really not worth the hassle.
Noticed instantly after uninstall my battery stopped draining. Hope they fix the issues.

I had the same problem. What I did to fix it was to go into AdFree, and hit the "Revert" button, and that seemed to fix the weird HTML errors. Hope this helps!

Adfree was causing issues for me to, I had to revert my host file and reboot for it to work again.

Is it just me or is does this app rape the battery 8/

that's lame! I'm noticing more and more apps using the same kind of ads that wwf uses, so I hope AdFree gets an update .. =/ i hate having ads

Absolutely does rape battery. Main reason I uninstalled.

check these photos screen problems

got mine yesterday and when i use the browser the screen starts flickering and distorting anyone else had this problem??
please take a look at the photos

Not noticed that myself but I have been using Chrome.

i have noticed that on a couple of times, don't know why but it has gone away. but it's strange

To me it looks like either the LCD is damaged or the LCD connector has a problem with it. Return it for a new one

I have the exact same thing!
I made a topic of this myself.
Someone above said this is hardware, but i doubt this, because this glitch is only on the drop down menu, it is not random but outlined. A screen problem would cause this at any place on the screen.
What do you guys think of this?

Seems to be a Tegra3/ICS issue. The Transformer Prime had similar problems for months.

is this the screen glitch u guys are talking about or is it another screen glitch type?
if it is the former, i have not had it yet in the 4 days i have the phone..

try to use a different browser like dolphin or chrome or whatever

I was half tempted to get the One x because I thought they learned from the Sensation but guess not. This is the real problem of having your own skin, you break a perfectly good OS.

Try it with other browser. I believe it is the screen defect. Mine doesn't hv those glitches issues mentioned in the forum nor the yellow tint problem

Same here. I also haven't this problem also not in the standard browser.

Haven't noticed that myself over the 5 days I've had the phone.

Saw it on my phone yesterday for like 3-4 seconds...i was using whatsapp that time...so i dont think its only related with the browser...

Same thing here
Same thing happened when I was on ARHD 1.2.0 in Netflix. See attachment.

I also get this screen problem. It is software/firmware corruption, and not a hardware fault as far as I can tell.
It happens at random in the stock browser, or at least appears random - I haven't found a link to any website or user action yet.
It does seem it might be related to anything involving animated menus with gradient colour or transparency - that's just a passing observation though.

Flickering Line of Pixels (AKA Yet Another Screen Problem)

Hey guys,
I know that the screens on these phones are turning out to be junk, but I'm looking for some opinions on whether my particular issue (which I don't think has been brought up here before) is a hardware problem, or if it just looks like a software bug.
I've attached a picture of the glitch, which appears as two lines of random pixels that flicker between pink and green. I've circled in red the pixels that were doing it at the time (it only seems to happen with darker colours). The picture is GTA3, but I know that it also happens in the music app and when flicking between sense themes (although it's harder to reproduce in those apps). Oddly I've played Spirit HD too, but that doesn't cause it.
So what do you guys reckon, is it more likely a hardware issue or is this something that a driver update could fix, and is anyone else having this problem?
Thanks
Apparently the attachment didn't work, so here's a link: img713. imageshack.us/img713/7762/phonebug.jpg (remove space after the first dot)

enough with this FUD the screens are not junk, in fact they are amazing and made iphone owners shivers
the software has a glitch causing all sort of graphical corruption ie not the screen, glitches that goes away are software, glitches appearing in the same place in all phones are software, glitches that never manifest in certain apps are also a sign of software issue
software is no problem, no one updates their phones faster than HTC

OK fair enough, but given the amount of people complaining about screen flex issues and the like, surely I can be forgiven for thinking otherwise?
I raised the topic because this doesn't seem like the "software issues" that everyone is talking about though (the ones with flickering status bar etc).
Thanks for your input

I have had no issue for 4 days and noe all of a sudden I'm getting a red box outline all the way around the screen when selecting options in some menus very random

A red box around the whole screen? I think that's caused by the keyboard. I never experienced this on my phone because i use swype but i see it very often if i use the emulator. try a different keyboard. perhaps this fixes your issue.

i think that's a debug option in developer settings...indicates whenever menu speed is above a certain threshold afaik...i might be wrong though.
disable "Strict mode", reboot, wipe cache & dalvik for the hell of it...

youtube app freezing issue while exit?

So i havent unlocked my bootloader yet.
And havent had any hardware or phone issues but with the youtube app when i tend to close it down the screen simply freezes and it takes a while to get back normal or a quick reboot helps.. Its actually everytime and doesnt happen elsewhere.. Not even in games.
Anybody facing the same problem or is it just me? I suspect cz of the new aspect ratio youtube is having problems properly rendering with the new screen though..
Let me know anyone with the same issue..
Edit : Problem solved turns out after getting youtube updated and then clearing cache it works normally now.

Screen Flicker Issue on Honor 7X BND-AL10 (Chinese Version)

I just bought the phone and I'm experiencing a screen flickering. At the time it occurs the screen becomes unresponsive. The bottom 3/4th part turns black. It keeps on flickering. The audio works when it occurs, but touch won't . It happens occasionally.
.
.
.
Maybe it occurs coz one day my phone dropped to the ground.
Any help would be appreciated.
[Update] : This happens only when using YouTube for a long time.

Thats the problem of YouTube not of the phone

Contacted huawei customer care regarding the same problem, they gave me an ota update which fixed the problem.

I used to get it but stopped having it. i didnt get any update. maybe it was youtubes issue after all

It's because of in-built YouTube application.. same happening to me as well. Finding a way to uninstall in-built YouTube app and download it again from playstore

It's not the phone's fault
YouTube isn't optimised for the phone yet so there might be some issues like the one you mentioned, but i haven't seen this problem yet at all.

Thank you everyone those who answered my question.
The problem was solved after clearing the data and updating the app.
