The dev said that the app had been temporarily down while the force close was being fixed. It is back up on the market again:

by "typing this" you mean xda app fc? try uninstall then reinstall or delete data then open again. Our some apps are looking for internet connection our their servers are down tours why they fc. What rom are you using?
Sent from my MB525 using XDA App
Om on stock everything. And by "typing this' o just meant it did it again. The app that Fc is not the xda. It just pops up here and there. And that's all it says. .I cleared n reset. But still pops up.

Market Problems!

Is anyone having problems with the market place? When I open the market it works fine but when I hit "menu" then "my apps" the screen turns white and it doesnt show any of my apps that I downloaded from the market.
This has never happened to me before and was wondering if anyone had a solution.
Thanks

Try clearing the data under "manage applications". Should reset the app and start working again

I've seen this with Google Music. I've force stopped and cleared data but the problem randomly comes back and I dont know whats triggering it

For me, the best working solution is to press multitasking button and swipe away all the apps.

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Thats what i did too
At first i tried to open my music, it opened my google voice instead :/ but thats the temporarily solution i suppose :/
This has not gone away. Even if I try to access messaging from the app drawer or recent app list it doesn't work. Hitting back cycles through other apps, does not help. The only way to access messaging is through the people app or through a notification.

Try rebooting it?
Like someone said, swipe away all the recent apps.

Hide or Lock application

Hi Team,
Is there any way I can lock or hide my apps in such a way that it can't be uninstall.
There are apps in the play store through which you can lock & hide apps but you can uninstall the apps through task manager or through soft key menu option.
Any advice? I have Samsung galaxy note 2
Thanks in advance.

Protect application with one of good SW from play store, I am using smart application protector since > 2 yrs and really nice
Then add protector application to device administration (to make it uninstallable)
Then protect
setting
play store
task manager
Installer
along with application you want to protect.
Thanks for you reply.... This application is good but all the apps which I have locked through this application can be uninstall by using the soft key in th menu..... by adding this in device administration I can't uninstall this app but can uninstall all the other apps which are locked using this app. Any advice for this?
Sent from my GT-N7100 using xda app-developers app
With Soft key means?
Menu - uninstall, or long pressing on application isn't?
If you lock installer then it should ask password.
You have to protect all applications said in previous msg which can uninstall application.

In Note2, if you long press any app then you can move the app shortcut to home screen can't uninstall.
Soft key is the key which is at the left of the home button. If you touch the left soft key when you are in menu, you will find a list of options in which there is an option called uninstall when you select that option, a - sign pop up in each of the third party app. And when you touch that sign the selected third party app will uninstall.
There are two way we can resove this I guess :
1. If we can disable the function of uninstall from the soft key in a way that it ask for password as well or
2. We can have one app through we can hide apps and we can add the hiding app in device administration as well so no one can uninstall that app.

Got it
Anyway third party launcher will work, bcoz it will not have option to uninstall from menu.
Right now i am using Next launcher and having option to long press to uninstall and selecting it, pop up for password.
Thanks!
Do you know any app through which I can hide my apps and I can add the app in device administration.

You can't see CCSWE app manager in drwawer?
I have it in drawer and opening it will show you list of installed application and you can hide it from there.
I have uninstalled the app n install again. Now its showing but when I open it ask to confirm root privileges.
My phone is not rooted yet.
