Well I did a video to explain the issue, but no HTC clocks work. I started having this issue this morning. I accidentally dragged it off screen, now they won't come back. I'm sure it's something simple, but I can't figure it out. Only had this phone for about a day now.

Also, while I have an open help thread, hopefully someone will know, is there a root method available for the M9 yet?

Firstly, there is root and S off for the phone, S off is £25 root free its all in the forum, and the search option works well.
Secondly a quick factory reset will resolve this for you, but why not just re-add the clock via the personalize option?

Well adding the widget back doesn't work, as shown in the video. I'm not sure if that link worked or not. But it just disappears. I was hoping there was a setting that I checked that messed it up. As for the factory reset, I want that to be the last resort. I finally got it working decently. I hate sense, but if I have to use it, I have to have it set up a certain way. And I finally got it right, know what I mean ?
Try restarting your phone.
Alternatively, go to Manage Apps, All, and stop Sense Home. If necessary, clear Cache and clear data. You probably will lose your sense customization..
There is an update for HTC Clock in the Play Store from just a few days ago. Have you applied it?

Just done a hard reset after I had upgraded to 2.2 a few weeks back and discovered that nothing is backed up anymore!! Now whilst this has been spoken about on a few threads already, I did find a few things new that was a nice bonus.
1) News sync appears in the accounts & sync options. Now I can truly disable the news app thats pre installed in the rom.
2) Finally the location based sense weather works!!! I could never get my local area to display any weather, this has now been fixed but only after hard resetting! It never worked on 2.1 or 2.2 before.
Will let you know if I find anything else. Does make you wonder what else had been fixed but only after a HR.
Does compass work correctly?
News sync appears, but does it sync? When I tap on it nothing happens, no green icon appears on Accounts & Sync
Yes it does sync if you select it. I could never add news sync before, it was always as option but now it appears in the selected list, like googlemail and stocks. To be honest I don't use it and was never able to turn it off, it would always appear running in the services list but now I can turn it off and it's not running in the services list.

Hey,
The current location weather also never worked on my desire, and after upgrading to froyo a couple of weeks ago I looked to see if it had been fixed but it still didn't work.
However, after reading this thread, I decided to check again and now it works for some reason! I haven't done a hard reset so I dont know why it has started to work but I am happy that it has!

Maybe a dumb question but what do you guys mean with hard reset? Is that simply just to make a reset to back to the factory settings? Anything special?
Sent from my HTC Desire using XDA App
ok, so it looks like they changed something their end and has nothing to do with resetting (re weather location). Yes hard reset = Restore to factory (im an old old win mo user so still call it hard reset.

Hi guys..
I just buy a Desire 2 weeks ago and upgraded from official 2.1 to official 2.2. My question is: If I make a hard reset ( factory reset ) my Desire will go back to 2.1 or will remain to 2.2?? Maybe is a silly question, but I am a very new guy on Android forum. Thank you in advance.
Will stay with 2.2.

Hi all,
i've the new RC mix 3d on my htc desire HD. For a while it was working as a charm. But, after some hours it gave me the same issue as before. HTC locations is asking if I want to buy their maps, what is pretty annoying because i dont use it.
How can i get rid of it? Is there a way to shut it off? Or maybe it's handy if someone knows how this is possible, its the stock rcmix 3d nothing special, I dont have GPS on, and it's still asking
Anyone? I realy want to get rid of it because it's pretty damn annoying!

Try to use the app "autostarts" available at the market or somewhere else ( and disable Google maps in thelist "after start"... that should work
Allright Thanks, I downloaded Automanager, I deactivated the HTC locations shiznit, but after half a day, it's automaticaly booting. Is there an other way to get passed this issue?

Try to activate it once and then deactivate it in its settings... I dont know something about Automanager, but in "Autostarts" you have different categories, where you can deactivate Apps starting automaticly... thats just the way it works for me...
Btw, i'd deactivated the whole Google-Maps app from autostart, i think that had direct effects to locations app... maybe thats the way to do...
sent using tapatalk
allright, i want to download autostarts but you need to pay for it that's why ive downloaded the other app. Maybe you can upload it or something? I will try to shut all the google map things off.
Do you also know why my speaker is always on? I've searched douzen forums, but its not dirty the usb port, and after a reset its okay but somehow it begins again. thanks
Pls help
Every 5mins HTc locations window will pop up and ask me to purchase the premium navigation and its really irritating and taking the phone crazy,speaker would be on by default for all the calls and i formatted the entire phone n sd card and later found its such a cheap trick by HTC..can any one could help me to deactivate HTC Locations...

Hi all, I've been playing around with custom ROMs on my One X for about a year and a half but was recently getting tired of putting up with stability issues and decided I wanted to return the phone to stock.
I relocked the phone with ADB, then ran the appropriate RUU for my CID.
The procedure worked fine and I managed to download the latest HTC stock update without any drama, except for one annoying issue.
The search function stalls every time I use the toolbar - the whole screen goes blank white except for the little 'working' logo, occasionally it connects to Google and responds to my search terms. Also I cannot find any trace of Google Now in the software, it has vanished from the phone. No cards appear on the search page and there is no reference to it in any settings menus.
What do you think the root cause could be? What are my options for fixing it?
Thanks

Thanks for the reply but whatever it's called it isn't working properly.
I'm getting error messages saying "server access failure" and there are zero cards or location-based info being presented. I cannot find any reference to cards within the settings either. Would a factory reset work? Or is there someway of resetting or re-installing the search apk?

I don't use it actually but I've just tried it for you and seems to be working fine, loading up up relevant weather and location information.
Yes you could try a factory reset or try uninstalling it from the play store, but don't forget you are looking for google search, and not google now.

Hi everyone,
I'm new here, nice to meet you all. Last night I finally bought the LG G3, switched from an iPhone 5S.
Right away I flashed the phone to Lollipop that I found in this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/lg-g3/general/kdz-poland-lollipop-lg-g3-20a00-t2938255
And the phone really works flawlessly except for one weird (and pretty annoying) bug.
When I'm surfing using Chrome or the generic browser that comes with the phone, after visiting a few websites (music forums, basketball websites, etc., nothing out of the ordinary that I usually visit), for some reason the browser gets redirected to an app called "Porn Factory" and wants me to download it to my phone.
Now, I'm pretty sure this isn't normal behaviour. And I've read that people have experienced a similar issue with their phones, but I still haven't found a solution to stop this from happening.
I tried a fresh install of Chrome, deleted all data/cache and it still happens from time to time. My phone isn't loaded with a lot of apps, just a few social media apps basically as it's brand new. Also tried scanning it with a few of the anti-virus apps on Google Play and nothing.
So yeah, if anybody could give a tip or two on how to solve this I would be very greatful. This is my last resort. :-\
Other than this, I'm really enjoying the G3!
p.s. I do apologize if the thread isn't in the right section, I'm new here.
Try to do factory reset (wipe data)
Next time use G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting forum as it belongs to this section.
sounds like it is trying to tell you something
but seriously it doesn't sound like anyone else has that issue (or they think it's a good thing, who knows)
could it be an SD card issue?
Can you boot into safe mode by pressing+holding the reboot button?
So the only thing I can do is a complete factory reset? How certain are you guys this could work? I mean I could do it, but I just want to try everything else before wiping everything and starting again from scratch.
Really appreciate the help guys!

Yeah, I logged in with my google account the first time I launched it. I could clear all settings and re-install the app and not sign in when I launch it for the first time. If that's a viable solution?
The thing is this is also happening on the stock browser which came with the phone and I'm not signed into anything on there.
* Try other browsers.
*Try some free antivirus solution.
* Is this happening on the same connection (WiFI / Data)? Maybe it's something in the network / dns proxy, etc.
* Check your internet settings (ip, dns, etc.)
What you have there is either mallware or some other type of bad "virus". This can't be considered a but by a long shot.

Same thing is happening on my home Wifi, my friend's house wifi and my cellular data. On Chrome and the stock browser.
Well I've done a factory reset a few moments ago, will see if anything changes.
My best guess is either some bad configuration (with a mallware dns or whatever) or some mallware that does that intercepting / redirect. Bugs are crashes, things not working etc not porn redirection , that's what mallware does.

I get what you're saying, but how is it possible the phone got infected out of the box? I basically used it for a couple of hours before this started happening. Didn't surf any "bad" websites and installed only a couple of social apps.
there are lots of "ways" these get pushed and lots of crappy ads that you press and install things or reconfigure things that you wouldn't know. I don't know, I would start analyzing the apps looking at what's going on ...
don't want to be the devil's advocate but maybe one of your friends played a practical joke on you ... don't know these things tend to happen ...

Nobody has touched the phone except me since I got it.... and just finished the factory reset thing and set up a totally new device, opened chrome, surfed a few pages and it happens again.
This makes no sense.
try this: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.bitdefender.antivirus
don't know, out of ideas really
One thing you guys may not have considered also, is that the guy you got the kdz from might have tampered with it and put adware or malware into the file...
Now, I'm in no way saying he has (Everyone on here is very trustworthy), but from all the solutions that look to have failed in this thread, that could be the only option. You can always try a factory reset, as stated above and if it's just something on the ROM then it might fix it, but if it's in the KDZ itself, the only way to get rid of it would be to flash a different file.

At this point I'm willing to try everything as reseting the phone to factory settings also didn't help.
Id consider flashing the stock kdz again. But get it from here from someone known and start fresh.

Its not a bug, just webpage redirecting. Some website does that, some on both desktop and mobile version, some just one of them. One of the web page i visit lg-phone-firmware.com is one of them. In mobile version it always redirect to ads.
Viable solution is to try desktop view. Else try browser that support adblock.
Well it appears I got rid of this problem. Downgraded to KitKat, rooted my device and installed a custom ROM that I found here.

I bought this Mi Pad 5 (EU version) in hopes to have multiple users to switch between.
There is an app, SwitchMe, which (I think) would solve my problems, but I just bought the damn thing and have no need to loose warranty just to unlock the bootloader and root it in order to use the beforementioned app.
The included solution from MIUI, second room, doesn't allow the second user, to connect to google. Nor easy way to switch between users (actually, easy way to switch to first user, but not back to second user, AND only while using the tablet and not from lock-screen).
The last thing I found on the internet was, to enable multiple users via developer options.
The way to enable multiple user is to turn off MIUI optimization. But that is not an option on my tablet. As in, there is no slider to swipe to off.
Have I missed anything? Are there any way to have multiple users on a freaking tablet in the 21st freaking century?
Save me! you wonderful super nerds!
Hello,
Try post #20 of this :
Cannot access Google
Hello, Just got the tablet, it was really quick. Ordered when it went for sale in Italy on Thursday and today Friday morning already received it. Maybe I'm one of the first to receive the tablet with Global ROM, but I'm going to ask anyway: I...

I've had the same frustrations and can't for the life of me understand why Xiaomi would feel the compulsion to strip away Android's core multi-user stuff just to introduce a half-baked porrly thought out substitute. What if we're more than 2 in our household anyways ?
If the above suggestion kind of works for some google accounts, it won't for accounts supervised with family link. So if you wanted to share the tablet with a kid, registered as such, you're out of luck. I'm in the process of trying a custom ROM to get rid of MIUI, because I already can't stand the thing. And that makes me sad, because I thought such OEM nonsense had been left behind YEARS ago, and I can now see I was deeply mistaken :-(
So I have the pro version and I can connect to google just fine.
But when I go try it on the regular pad 5 yeah it can't connect both on second space and multiple users. Is it a rom issue maybe? that might get fixed?
Anyway.. to access multiple users try this:
1.Download Activity launcher from the play store.
2. Open the app and search for "multiple users".
Click on it and add users from there.
Extra step: press & hold on "multiple users" to create a shortcut to this menu to your home screen.
Make sure to enable Home screen shortcuts permission for the app first.
It's still inconvenient to use. Only way to access other profiles is from that settings menu.
And it won't connect to google, just wait and hit skip.

You can switch between the users using different passwords from the lockscreen. I'm using a different pattern for the second space.
You can switch to first and back to second user while using the tablet just you have to enable it from the settings. " add shortcut to home screen"
Also check the solutions on the mentioned thread above. I can see on post #24 someone got it connected to google on second space.
@Half Alive , you rock ! While I was waiting for Xiaomi to allow me to unlock the bootloader on my Pad 5, I tried your suggestion with Activity Launcher and, lo and behold, it worked ! I was able to add my son's Google account and family link is now doing its thing. Now, since the multiuser features are still there, why did Xiaomi jumped through hoops to hide them ? That still feels quite a bit dumb to me, but hey, as long as I can use them, I guess it'll do.
Thanks again !
I can confirm that the fix mentioned on the other thread is working to fix the login error on the second space Account. To solve the problem do the following:
* Go to Apps, show all
* Google Play Store -> uninstall updates
* Google Play Services -> uninstall updates (after this the app list disappear)
* You can go to the Play store and login
* Repeat for the other space if necessary
Thanks for the help

I posted my thread late December and unfortunately forgot all about it. Though I did have my dad and his wife staying over new year, so I was preoccupied.
Thank you for your replies and I will test the posted solution come dawn, and report back after that.
Thank you all for your contribution!
I am now a happy owner of a tablet with multiple users via second space. Not as polished as I would like it. But it works and I'm happy.
Thank you

Hi, can I have details on how you managed to get family link to work?
I tried to install my child's profile first but it wouldn't let me, kept hanging on family link manager. I also removed all accounts and added mine first and tried to set up multiple users but I couldn't set up the account. It would just loop on trying to contact Google. I also tried to uninstall updates and clear data on Google play and services without success.
Well, I ended up installing a phh GSI on it, because switching profiles was way too bothersome for everyday use in the end. So I can only try to remember, but I don't think I did anything other than what you said coupled with the trick mentionned by @Half Alive . I'm sorry I can't remember doing anything else :-/

Updated today to MIUI 13 Global version and.... not working. Again boot loop while configuring second space as a child's account
For anyone interested in setting up a managed child's account, I seemed to have figured it out. Take note, this is only for a single child's account on the Tab 5. Not for a tab being shared by two users.
When I first got the Tab, I set it up with a child's account and it was successful but I couldn't manage the account from family link and so tried to remove the accound and re add it but despite all the tricks above, it didn't work.
But this did work:
Totally factory reset the device and on the first boot set up the tab with the child's account. On this attempt everything went totally smooth (with no additional tricks). The account works fine and is totally managed by Family Link. Have been using it for almost a week smoothly.
