Astrid + ROMs based on Eris leak

Hey guys,
I've tried a few of the Eris-based ROMs, and they are all pretty damn decent, my kudos to the devs.
But one common problem I am having is that when I try to set up the initial sync between Astrid and Remember The Milk, I get a "Page cannot be displayed" error. It's as though Astrid has no access to the web in order to establish that link with RTM.
Does anyone have a solution to this, or any other suggestions I can try? I've come to rely heavily on Astrid and it kills me to change back to another ROM.
Thanks in advance.
Edit: To be clear, I have no problems or connectivity issues with Email / Browser / Maps on both Mobile and Wifi data.

There is an issue with the leaked ROM and HTTP requests from within apps. For instanc, while Gmail can get my emails, when I click the show pictures button nothign comes up. Urbanspoon has the same problem as you described above. I think it is a common problem on all the ROM's based on the Eris leak

Thanks for the response...
Bummer.

That would be the same reason why babbler and bloo cant gain access to facebook then to be granted permissions, bugger.

I think I've had the same trouble with NavLauncher's automatic brut.all maps downloader.... I've got perfect signal and mobile internet, everything else is working, but the maps.apk just won't download.

Yes, I have the same problems, but it seems that some people don't have them.
I have seen reports that Facebook sync works and have found very few other people mentioning these problems on ROM specific threads.
No solution yet

I can confirm that problem with astrid and any other apps that make http requests
its so sad, astrid is _so_ useful :/

I wouldn't call it sad. Sad is losing a loved one, or popping a testicle. I think its unfortunate, but sad is not an emotion I feel towards a week or two without the use of a task list application.

Got the same issue with a few apps (pagesjaunes, wapedia)... I'm hoping somone will find a fix! I don't want to give up my rom and go back to 1.5...
Edit : Does everybody gets this error? Is it in all eris leak based roms? (I run Defiance). I wiped everything but did not format my sdcard when I flashed the 2.1 rom, coming from MCR 3.1...

I was kidding still - its not really fortunate that it doesnt work

for tasks you can try gtasks in the market, its free and syncs with your Google task list and if you use pure calendar it will also display on the due dates.

I don't think it's everybody...
There are just too few comments in this thread for it to be a generic problem.

Nah, i think it is @nprussell has even spoken about it several times in his VillianROM thread.

Doh! It looks like this is even happening in the Legend leak! (BeHero 1.3.1)

I asked the question in the BeHero thread at HTCPedia and indeed it seems that the issue is not resolved :/
I'll have to stick with MCR for now...

This issue is not specific to 2.1: I've had this with my completely stock 1.5 original ROM back from Hero release here in .nl (august 2009).
It's the primary reason I went to RememberTheMilk, but now that I've done so I'm convinced that RTM is better for me than Astrid anyway. But that's another discussion
As to resolving the original problem: I have no clue how. Sorry...

It would be nice if the devs could at least acknowledge that this is indeed a bug with their cooked ROMs in their "not working" lists.
It may not be a big deal to some, but it's a deal-breaker to many.

Yeah that would be nice..
I'm trying out the latest Legend alpha from benocharm, fingers crossed it's fixed
Will update this post shortly

Hullomail
i have exactly the same problem using hullomail. its annoying me alot. but also, i just love 2.1 so god dam much, it makes up for it. it does need recognising as a bug though.

Wooohooo!!!
We are back in business
I can confirm Astrid - RTM sync is working once again in the latest Legend ROM leak.
So far this leak is available from http://htcpedia.com/forum/showthread.php?t=2275
But note the ROM is a little laggy/slow, but everything seems to working ok, from the last 20 mins i have been using it

Google Talk

One major thing missing for me from WP7 is a decent GTalk client. I am using IM+ which is reliable in terms of notifications but very slow to start when you want to use it and if you switch to another app in mid-conversation, it takes ages to resume and reconnect.
I have tried Gtalk and JiTalk neither of which ever gave me a push notification.
Has anyone any advise?

Try OctroTalk. It works very well. There is free version with adds. I have unistalled IM+ after trying Octro, it's my primary chat client now

It is quite nice, but no better than IM+ in my view. It doesn't automatically log me in when I start it and seems no quicker at first glance. I am going to give it a go for a few days though, thanks.

One of the main reason why i am using it is because loads faster. Too bad for the auto login, hope they will add this feature

It auto logs in when you open it via a toast notification. Weird choices on user experience there. I reckon it might open and log me in very slightly faster than IM+. So I may have spoken too soon on that score.
It is still a poor experience overall though - and I mean the platform, not your excellent and kind recommendation.

It's good that we have a choice. Few months back there was no chat apps at all. There is still room for improvement but i think that we will not see any major improvement before Apollo

octrotalk has the best UI and also supports video chat
but
OT has lost a lot of offline messages for me.

My best is JiTalk.

JiTalk has improved a lot in terms of notification. been testing their Beta and it works very well.

I will give it another go then. It was a shame that it didnt work well for me before.

Next Launcher 3D comments?

I'm trying out Next Launcher 3D trial version and I like what I see. However, I seemed to get into some reboots
and boot loops since I installed it. I'm wondering if it's just me or are there any known problem with it?
I read their facebook page and it seemed to cause some problem on the S4 (bootloops) but I couldn't
find anything related to Note 2 (but that doesn't mean it did not happen).
I'd appreciate all inputs. Thank you very much!

I use the paid version of this app, its my favorite launcher, i have had no issues, or reboots since i have had it on my phone. i would recommend it to anyone looking for a smooth launcher with ALOT of cool features.

paid version here, no problems...

I just tried the trial version on Google Play Store. Not sure if it's any different than the paid version.
Emails sent to the developers and also posted on their Facebook page went unanswered...
(if pre-sale support is that bad, I can imagine how post-sale support looks like )

If you look at their changes log, every single update has this line:
fixed some crashes.
So, yes, it's probably not just you...
I love how it looks and function, but waiting 15-30 seconds several times a day for it to reload because it crashed after unlocking the phone, is unacceptable.

Thanks. Yes I really like how it looks and it's fast. however, if they never responded to questions I can't see how I can give then my money

Non stock chrome issue/bug on g3?

Anyone else getting the bug on updated/non stock chrome that causing the browser to become blank or just stuck at the background color after it tried to load/reload the page you want to view?
This bug occur when I leave the chrome on for too long in the background with several tabs open or heavy web pages
The only way to fix this is by closing tabs and clearing the app itself from ram
This issue occur on both stable and beta version of chrome, any chrome other than the one provided with stock rom
Anyone else experiencing this? Any fix/solution?[emoji55]

me dude. i just had enough of it and removed the update and now it's all back to normal.

Yeah removing the update can fix it but then it defeat the purpose of having update capability, is there any way to make google aware of this?

I am also having this problem. The issue is known to Google, if you research it. We have to wait for an update to see it go away. It's a sad state of affairs. I like Chrome and now I can't use it. And it ruins my exp3ri3nce with my G3, as the problem is practically non-existent on my N7.

According to a google community thread, apparently this is not an lg g3 exclusive issue, this happened on other devices as well and look pretty random
Hopefully a fix soon come because I've tried other browsers and while some of them are nice but they tend to eat much more battery compared to chrome

[Whatsapp] [Solved] Does the icon badge for new messages work for you?

Hi!
When you receive a new message, does sense home show a small number badge on the whatsapp icon like on previous HTC devices?
On my 10 i dont get the badge...does the new sense home support it for third party apps at all?
Newsest whatsapp version is already installed. Didnt try a reinstall yet, wanted to hear your experiences first.
Thanks!

I haven't got it

Same issue here as well

Same here. This might be a Whatsapp specific issue though, I do get the unread count on Mail, Telegram and Gmail apps.

Hm, when reading the FAQ on the whatsapp page im not sure that this is an issue with whatsapp, cause they are "blaming" the launcher, if it doesnt work.

Same problem here with whatsapp. I use typemail for email and that does show a unread badge

Same here. I use MS Outlook as Mailclient and it doesn't show badges as well. How is the chance that this will get a fix soon? ^^

It was working on whatsapp for me until I did a factory reset... Now it doesn't work

I didnt do a reset, it just didnt work out of the box. Maybe lets wait for the next Whatsapp version. Any other ideas?

Doesn't work for me either. I have send Whatsapp-support a message about this.

I believe this is an issue with Sense Home as I have the same problem with WhatsApp and also with truecaller. For true caller, I once got 1 notification and now it just wont go away or change.

Got the Sense Home update, but still the same problem. Can anyone who has the icon badge work on Whatsapp confirm it? Is it not working for all HTC 10 owners or only a few?

I got a sense update and a whatsapp update yesterday and now I can see the notification number on the icon

Whatsapp update version 2.16.98 fixed it.

Fixed on my end as well ????
