ive recently got my htc one x back from repair now trying to disable all the apps i dnt use. but i cant seem to disable stocks or friend stream? there both greyed out any ideas?
I will give my guess, when you disable those apps (at least friendstream) there is the possibility that there are going to be problems with push messages and live updates of widgets like facebook, and sync problems. I can't disable them either on a custom rom (but delete them if i want because we have root on custom roms)
Somebody please correct me if i went down the wrong road here

So, I am not really sure how long my phone has been doing this since I have not added a contact in some time, however now whenever I try to add a name to a contact (i can add a contact number...but not their name) i get "The application People (process com.android.htccontacts) has stopped unexpectedly. Please try again"
Sooo I cannot update / add new contacts.
Running stock EVO, non-root. Anyone seen anything similar? I tried searching but was unable to locate anything similar
I've never run into this problem on a non-rooted phone.
As a workaround, you can try adding the contacts to your Google account, they should then sync with your phone automatically.
I've been doing a bit more google-digging, and have also been removing some random apps (cleaning house?) but I also seem to FC com.android.settings after *every* uninstall.
One suggestion I read blamed launcherpro so I have removed that, however it did not help (now I get to re-do all my widgets )
ah well...If I do manage to find something I'll post what I find for others...also I found a similar problem (I'm totally going to piggy back this guys thread here http://www.sprintusers.com/forum/showthread.php?p=2375527 )
This same issue just started happening to me as well unrooted froyo evo and I'm not able to add a name to any new contact, already did a hard reset a week ago to fix other problems I don't want to have to do it again. If anyone has any info please share some because this is really upsetting
Solution to ----- process com.android.htc contacts has stopped unexpectedly.
I had the same problem on HTC HD2 Android 2.2. I solved as follows:
Source: http://www.google.com/support/forum/p/android/thread?tid=6786a5dc2dab4183&hl=en
Go to Settings - accounts and sync
turn off auto sync and then remove your facebook account from the "manage accounts"
Go back into the "people" application and go to "online directories" (the little globe) then go to facebook. re-enter your details.
hopefully after resetting it all. the problem should go away.
the annoying thing is, you have to go back through and link all your contacts to their facebook accounts again.
I have done this and it all seems to be working.
I'm getting this really annoying problem for the last few days after a rom update. Whenever I access the Facebook directory in People (online directories tab), a message popup:
The application Facebook for HTC sense (process com.htc.socialnetwork.facebook) has stopped unexpectedly. Please try again. Force close.
I've tried everything below but nothing works:
1. Remove Facebook account and add it again
2. Clear data and cache of the app
3. Try flashing another ROM
4. Unroot to original ROM
I think the problem is with my Facebook friend list but I can't figure it out. Has anyone experience the same problem as mine? I have around 400 friends in Facebook.
Update1: If I choose "View" in the Menu, the number of Facebook contacts is correct. Some of the facebook contact have been synched with photo, but still I cannot access the Facebook contact list.
No reply. I guess I'm on my own to solve this.
I did a google search and this came up I am having the same problem did you find a solution?
I am in. Just notice this problem too
I found removing the fb for android (?), and doing a full sync and link contacts help.
Really sure for the linking contacts step. Since i notice that fc happens everytime i use it to those with multiple contact (same phone,mail,etc) but not yet linked.
Occassionally, my phone will say something like find multiple contact bla bla bla. I just choose link em all. Now i rarely get fc

My problem is similar... HTC Evo 4G (original EVO), (being an admitted NOOB to the android arena), I rooted my phone... then had to unroot, and return to Sprint after falling out of the car window, and being run over by my back tire, (damned dogs, jumping up, happy to see me!). Sprint's techs said that if I didn't have the triple layer Seidio Extended case on it, it would have crushed the phone completely). As it was, my screen was broken, and I had to have the phone un-rooted to get the service.
Got the phone back ($37 for the repairs, Thanks Sprint!), and re-rooted her, and back in business... everything worked... until I couldn't find the root manager, I had used last time, so started using Root Explorer. I bit more advanced, and less noob friendly, if you ask me... as I was deleting bloatware, I deleted both Facebook AND Facebook for htc sense... I got the sense ver. back, and synce with my contacts by setting up the account again... only thing is, I can't upload pics. I could before, just can't now.
Only thing different I can recall doing this time, over last, was getting rid of Friend stream and a few other things I didn't last time (football, nascar, for example). Admittedly, I deleted things that didn't look like they belonged with any apps I was keeping. So, who out there knows what files may be associated with uploading photos to FB, via htc sense? I have the actual app, as old as it may be... was this one ever updated from 2010? I'm not looking forward to re-flashing the phone, just to restore one issue... but I will if I have to.
Thanks, in advance!
Mac-
You have a HTC EVO 4G. So please ask in the forum for this phone.

I just got prompted on my Desire Z this morning that there were two plug-ins and one widget available. LinkedIn and Picasa were the plug-ins and I can't remember what the widget was. Anyway, i tried to download the Picasa plug-in and it started and finished but that was all it did. Didn't install, doesn't show up in the gallery (even after a reboot) and i can't figure out how to get back to the plug-in section in the HTC hub to try again....any ideas? or did HTC pull the update only to bring it back at a later date?
Any thoughts would be good.
I had the same issue but downloaded linkedin. It is not in my app drawer, cannot open it but it is in my manage apps. There is a thread in the HTC Desire HD section on this with a number of people reporting similar problems.
Those aren't apps, they're just account providers.
To use them go to Accounts & Sync and then add new accounts for them.
You'll see them in the photo gallery and in 'people' after you've added the accounts. They're similar to facebook and flickr which come preinstalled.
Thanks rewen, i hadn't thought of that. I went to check it out though and I don't have the account to flag on but the others are there as you said so i think i'm in the right place but just that it didn't install.
So back to where i started, not being able to get back to the plug-in section to re-download.

No matter how many times I try and install the Picasa plugin it does nothing. Also not in the accounts.
I am in the same boat.. I flashed a different rom and want to install those. Not sure where to find those in the htc hub. Just waiting for it to let me know that there are new plugins i guess. I wonder if you can find them on htcsense.com

Did you check the bottom pane in the gallery?
yep, not there. Even did a factory reset like some have suggested.
When I click on install it says "Your item will be downloaded". I don't actually see it download though.... Do you need to be on wifi or something...?
I'm not sure. It will be in the notification bar if it fails though. I've had them fail on me.
Regarding my own mini issue, I just got one of the two to download now.. I wasn't signed into htc hub apparently. Once I signed in it let me know of new plugins, however, when I downloaded linkedin it took me away from the page to get picasa as well. Ugh. Bad design...
I wasn't signed in either but I know I was at one time... I tried to install Picasa first based on you not getting back. It showed in the notification as downloading but now it's nowhere to be found... Not in the gallery, not in accounts... idunno, it's broken.
I don't recall seeing a download status. Just a success or failure. So I guess that means you should at least see a message of success... :-/
Hey guys, FWIW I got my 5th HTC Hub update notification for the Picasa plugin today. It installed it for the 5th time and actually worked this time. Have no idea what is different but it just worked.
I had never gotten any notification regarding the Picasa plugin.
After reading this thread I went to the HTC Hub app, went to settings -> sync, and my sync option wasn't checked for HTC Hub. After enabling it, I got a bunch of new widgets/plugins notifications. I downloaded the Picasa plugin and it showed up in Gallery right away.
Awesome!
Since i'm stuck in the mighty hell-hole of israel Locations are completely useless to me.
So whenever i try to look at an address from a contact or a calender event, the map is blank and i can't use any other application.
Any ways i can get the bloody thing to stop being the default and switch to gMaps or even Waze?
have you tried going into settings->applications->manage apps and clearing the default? if you can't do it through the app manager, you can definitely get rid of it by flashing a rom without locations.
It's not set up as default there, so nothing to clear..
And i'd kinda like to stay with Virtuous.
Update: I was able to remove it with Titanium Backup, and it solved the problem.
Got rid of sense though, <3 CM7.
Am too fed up with HTC Locations, but i dont wanna lose Unity ROM.
also how can i make gmaps as default in FriendStream and other HTC apps.
They always pop up the HTC location with Route66 incomplete maps ?
As I said mate, just remove it using titanium backup.
Hey you guys!
Ik hope this is the right topic to post in, since it's about an app, but about the DHD as well.
For about a week now whatsapp wont push my messages forward to a notification.
When i recieve a message i will only get notified when i open up the whatsapp main screen (like it has to load the new messages instead of pushing it right away). This ofcourse takes all the functionality out of the app!
Anyone here got the same problem? my buddies (none of them on DHD) have no problems what so ever, except when they try to reach me. Altough, 1 friend of mine has the exact same problem (running DHD ROM on HD2) another friend of mine (with the exact same software setup on HD2 as well) has no problems.
Also, htcsense.com can no longer reach my phone to ring or block the device.
-stock DHD on 2.3
-most recent version of whatsapp
-doesnt matter if 3g or Wifi
-tried reinstalling the program
-htcsense.com apparantly "Can't connect to phone"
any you guys have suggestions?
You aren't running a task manager app are you?, in my experience HTCsense.com would work intermittently at best anyway, but no problems with Whattsapp notifications here but I am running CM7
yes im running SystemPanel 1.0.9.
But im using this task manager for months now and until now there were no problems at all, the task assigned to whatsapp is excluded from the kill list

TASK MANAGERS ARE EVIL REMOVE IT NOW AND YOUR LIFE WILL BE BETTER, don't just take my word for it try some of these sources for size Phandroid, Androidspin, Infoworld, Lifehacker and Androinica. As Cyanogen himself says remove your task manager and reproduce the bug and we'll see what we can do.
Got the same problem with htcsense. Can't lock or locate my phone or let it ring. No problems with whatsapp, thats working fine. Also on a stockrom 2.3.3 on a Desire HD
Erik
I don't use htcsense.com, but I use SystemPanel (with Whatsapp excluded), and whatsapp works perfectly without exception: I receive audio notification when the phone is inactive, and the messages pop up in front of the lockscreen.
(stock rooted Froyo, eng & S-off)
I have heard a lot about htcsense.com, hence I don't use it... but Whatsapp is very stable for me. Could be a combination of ROM/other apps, but in principle I'd look at htcsense.com
I had these problems when I got my DHD. For me everything went fine after I:
-Created a new Sense Account
-Settings --> Location --> Tick Phonefinder and turn gps on
-Settings-->Accounts &b Sync --> Click on "HTC Sense" and Set the update schedule on "As items change (push)"
-In case its not there just try to download an additional wallpaper and log on with your sense account.
After that you go again to htcsense.com
Log in and then locate your phone.
Now you should see the GPS icon in your phones statusbar...
Now go outside an make sure you find GPS signal.
many thanks for the responses! I have found a few more things that could maybe help us crack this case.
When im in the whatsapp client, it shows the status of recepient (online, typing etc.) as "online" or "last seen at xx:xxu" in wich xx:xx is often after i sent the message.
In short: there is traffic going on between me, the server and the recepient even though messages i sent won't pop on their screens, and theirs not on mine.
(classic case of not enough internetz?)
Also, removing the task manager had no result!
