[Q] google apps - EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

has anyone run into the problem with their phone restarting by itself and then google apps not working anymore? That is what happened to me today. All the google proccess stopped woking all of a sudden and none of my goolge apps work not even google market (google play). My question is, has this happened to anyone else and how do i fix it if possible?
android version:4.0.4
kernel version:2.6.38.8-playground-ics
playground ics version: neweras
build number: htc_supersonic-userdebug 4.0.4 jmm76d eng.deck.20120413.071906 test-keys

Haven't been drawn to stay on ICS yet...
Wipe system only and re flash the rom and gapps. Your data will stay intact.

Popular apps in the market doesn't support desire z

It is really amazing that some of the most popular apps in the market does support desire z.
Such is foursquare, another is the so-called instagram in the Android platform, picplz.
https://market.android.com/search?q=foursquare
https://market.android.com/search?q=picplz
it is said that the apps are incompatible with my device which is desire z
Any one got suggestions?
I currently use foursquare and picplz on my vision.

That doesn't seem to be a widely reported problem, actually yours is the only case I have heard off so far. I and running 2.2.1 as well and have never had one bad install from the market. I would suggest a factory reset.

[Q] Gmail Margin Problem with Gingerbread ROMs

Does anyone else have problems with the right margin in Gmail, where there's a good-sized gap of whiteness? See the screenshot below to understand what I'm talking about. It happens to me just about on every ROM that is based on Gingerbread. I can rotate my screen to landscape mode, then back to portrait, and it's fine. But, when I close Gmail, open it back up, it happens just like what you see in the attachment again. It totally sucks.
Thoughts?
Anyone have suggestions on how to fix this?
Nothing? Wow...
Just for the record, I have tried the following gapps with various Gingerbread ROMs, and these do experience the right-margin issue in Gmail.
- gapps-gb-20110120-signed.zip
- gapps-gb-20110307-signed.zip
I've never had this problem running the following ROMs...
- Virtuous 1.0.1 (HTC Sense)
- GingerVillain 1.5 (Gingerbread)
- all Froyo-based ROMs
Just hoping someone has a simple fix, tweak or anything to get around this problem. Thanks.
Same problem on cm7

I don't have this problem, not sure if I ever did but if I did, I didn't notice it. I'm running a rom that's based on a CM 7 nightly after RC2, can't remember exactly the version. First try to go in to app management and clear all app data for Gmail and see if that fixes it for you.

I've done all of that on various CM7-based ROMs, and it doesn't help. Running a ROM based on HTC Sense (i.e. Virtuous 1.0.1) has zero Gmail issues whatsoever, so it's apparently related to Gingerbread... or something Cyanogen related. I just wish that stock Gingerbread comes out soon, one that is truly AOSP based and not filled with Cyanogen. I have nothing against CM in any way shape or form, I just want to have a taste of PURE Gingerbread.

Of course I did that. I always do a full data/cache/dalvik wipe between ROMs. I don't have this problem with non-Gingerbread ROMs.

okay so I got the same problem with my nexus one. x10,desire ž and desire hd on cm7. I'm not sure if its supposed to be this way but it's quite annoying once you notice it
I am also having this problem with Gmail on CM 7 nightly 30. Honestly I didn't even notice it until you pointed it out. Only seems to happen with text though.

The thread shows some 3rd part apps for wifi tethering. But when I install them and give them root permissions the wifi does not start. Under wifi it shows (Error).
Test if your WiFi antenna is misplaced.
Remove battery lid and put it back on again, making sure its proper on

This is a pretty common issue for custom roms. And in most custom rom, they should be fixed already.
In my opinion, the problem you are facing is most likely rom related issue, so it is best you go back to the thread where u downloaded the rom and browse through to see fixes. Or simply update to the latest version of your rom.
well i went through the forum and to my surprise or unfortune no one has reported abt the issue i m facing. and i checked the rom official site,the rom i m using is indeed the latest stable rom, i even checked my phone's wifi antenna its not hampered or has moved from its position.

You can try re-downloading cm7.2rc3. If it doesn't work, download cm7.2rc2 to see if it works, restore your apps after you find out if it's working. That rom is Gb and shouldn't be having those issues.

Well this is what I ve done.I was using cynogenmod rc2. I flashed rc3 hoping this would fix the issue. So thing is if i flash it back to rc2 it would not add up to solution.

let me explain in a very explicit manner possible. i was using cynogenmod 7.2rc2 long back with same wifi problem so some user on xda advised me to update the rom to latest version ;7.2rc3, so i did the update.but when i started facing same problem with 7.2rc3, i reported this in a post on xda to which u replied to downgrade the rom to rc2. but as i ve aforementioned that before reporting it on xda i was using 7.2rc2 version with the same wifi problem so corollary of this is if i downgrade it back to rc2 there ll b no difference except i ve to redownload my apps and configure settings.
and one thing more i ve re-flashed the cynogenmod7.2rc3 but that also does not work.

Just want to make sure. You re-downloaded the file and flashed with a clean install and the same problem happens, right?
Sent from a dream.
yes i downloaded the file from cynogenmod official page. and did all the recommended steps like wiping cache,formatting,wipinkg dalvik cache and wiping battery stats.
I just did a quick search and couldn't find anything either.
When you try to use the usb or wifi tethering, to what are you connecting to? to a laptop? what operating system are you using on the laptop if such is the case?
yes i m connecting to a laptop. its dell n5010. os is windows 7 ultimate 64bit.

Damn, I accidentally thanked you. I was saving that one since it was going to be the 100th thanks I was going to give.
Go to the market, download cat log or any other way you prefer to create a logcat and post it in the cyanogen forum, or here see if someone can help. I'm thinking it's something particular to your phone/radio/service provider.
I'll flash the rom either tonight when I get home or tomorrow when I have some time. But I doubt I'll be able to reproduce the same issue.
Edit: have you tried fixing permissions in 4ext recocery or whatever you use? Sometimes it helps.

Search for logcat and find which one you are more comfortable using. There are several ways of getting one.
Logcats help developers figure out what is causing the problem.

{Help!} apps on Google Play not available anymore

Hi to all,
I have tested several ROMs since I have have lost my original stock fw.
For a few months I have used this one [ROM] S5660XXKTK [21.03.2012][Android 2.3.6].
Yesterday I tried GioSIII V7 4.0.4 CM9, looks and feels really cool, but I was disappointed by the fact that on Google play I could not install applications, my usual applications like Google Goggles was greyed out, and I could not install it, so I reverted back to 2.3.6 (enhanced236_09.06.2012) but the problem is still there, when I log with my Google account, I can not install most of my applications (paid ones).
Thank you for your suggestions.
Try one of the latest roms on phiexz.com And then go to spare parts and check compatibility mode , Maybe that works ?

Hi there, your advice helped, I have installed 2.3.7_2.6.35.7_cm7.2.0_phiexz and all my aplications are again available on Google play. Thank you for that
But my question is still there, does this mean that I will not be able to have 4.0.4 on my Galaxy Gio and to have all my applications installed from market ?
Thanks for your ideas.

Couple of Issues

Hello, I have Samsung Galaxy S Glide AKA Samsung Captivate Glide, Rooted to 4.0.4 (Ice Cream Sandwich) with ATT Rogers Rom. Kernel Version is 3.1.10
Basically the problem that I have is when I am at school and have my WiFi on I lose connection. I have to keep turning on and off my WiFi because the orange down arrow stops as I only get upload then. I heard its because there are many routers at my school therefore it has problems.
Also when I log in to snapchat, snapchat minimizes it self and goes back to my app screen no error was giving it didn't even say snapchat has stop responding.
Sounds like a kernel (or better kernel wifi module) issue.
Try CM or sediROM.

Hey, thanks for the reply. Kind of odd that WiFi works at home perfectly fine but not at school. Should I update the Kernel first with keeping the ATT Rogers Rom? or should I just totally update the Rom to sediROM or CM?

Well that depends on your own. I strongly believe that this is a kernel issue so you could start with that. The sediROM installer contains all available ICS kernels but you should not use the installer when you do not want to INSTALL/MODIFY a sediROM installation. But within the sediROM zip so after extracting it you will find several kernels/bootimages in /custom/..../ (don't know the exact subdir atm) but you will see it.
But BEWARE: you can easily at least softbrick your phone if you do a mistake or choosing the wrong kernel. So if you don't know how to unbrick or if you really depend on your phone you should think twice the same for installing a custom ROM like CM or sediROM of course (even the risk of failures are minimal here)!
Do never skipping backups of device,efs, etc regardless which way you want to go! Get familar with unbricking your device and keep adb in place.

1: pls contact snapchat support. Seems to be not a problem of ROM or phone
2: well you can try other ROMs until you find a good one. Or you could give sediROM a try if you like. After installation test wifi. If it is not fine you can restart the installer (like reflash but then choose "modify mode" in the setup screen) and choose another kernel there.
Test wifi and if it is not fine restart that procedure with another kernel!
If you want to try the 2.0 BETA write me a PM it contains even more kernels. That way you could try all available kernels to find the one which is best working for you.
