Which ROM do you use ?
Is your devise rooted ?
Is "Sync" enabled in your settings ?
Are using an ads-blocking solution ?
Did you tried to clean the app's data & cache ?
Please give as many informations as possible in order to get back a proper help

I'm on stock ROM 4.4.2,
yes my phone is rooted,
Can't find synch option in Zooper, wasn't needed before when it was working properly,
I don't use ad blockers,
yup, did the clean, didn't help

Problems related to specific apps must be reported to corresponding threads here in xda.
I noticed you have a lot of problems due to the intensive use of customisation apps. why not consider factory reset ?

factory reset didnt help

New to Froyo and 3 questions!

EDIT: 4questions !
Hi guys. I just installed the 2.2 update via OTA, but now i got "3 little problems". Since i didnt find them via search buttom, i'd like to ask them here.
1.- Most settings are the same as before (2.1), but for example, Google Talk changed my nickname, from my name to my e-mail. I know there was a way to change it, but i dont find the way to...
I know people can change my nickname, so each one sees me with the nickname they want, but the "default one" was my name and now's my e-mail
2.- Facebook events + brithdates. Is there a way to disable them? I got all kind of connections from facebook disabled.. but dont find this new feature so i can disable it.
3.- Flash. I found on market Adobe Flash Player 10.1. Wasn't it supposed to be enabled by default? I mean. Should i install it? Is it better than default? I dont understand anything since i read that 2.2 came with default 10.1... but there's an app, from Adobe.
4.- Is is recommended to do a hard reset after updating? I mean. I got all apps from 2.1 installed. And since I update, none of them were removed, etc. Do I lose some speed or something if i dont hard reset? Maybe Hard Reseting + Reinstalling ALL apps make my device to run EVEN smoother and faster than it does. (It goes faster now than before with 2.1, but maybe...)
See you soon and thanks for all!!!
Bump !!!

Still need help on:
1.-
3.-
4.-
Since 2 is exactly what we needed and 1,3,4 are things that you believe. Thank you very much !!!
w8ing for more answers
3 - included as default in the official rom
4 - always recommended when installing a new system, if not this could lead to bugs and performance issues. The official froyo is also odexed there's a chance your apps may conflict. if you have the time to hard reset then it's defo recommended.
don't know about the google talk thing though sorry.

3. and 4. answered
1. is still missing
Thank you for your answers ! w8ing for more

[Q] turns to silent automatically

hi i have an htc one x obviously
it goes to silent mode on every rom i used viperx cm10 arhd insetcoin etc...
i guess its from an app because i had it recently about a week ago ?
and am on stock kernal i guess because i haven't changed it but am gonna after fixing this issue so any tips this is driving me crazy plz help
Do you use Tasker?
Could be a profile you set.
Also try to remove any recent apps you have added, do this one by one until you see the problem disappear and you will have found your culprit.
Or you could try:
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.silent_time_android
And set it to turn on silent at certain times such as midnight till 7 am?
This could help re-configure the way your phones goes on silent and may get rid of the problem?
Finally, if your rooted try wiping the dalvik cache etc, maybe a hard reboot etc etc.
Hope I helped.

Your welcome mate.
Okay so tasker isnt the cause
I do highly recommend removing apps one by one and seeing is it carries on, remove the most recent first and work downwards.
Well a hard reboot is basically a factory restore. Which should be your last resort as it will remove all of your data.
Perhaps try another ROM/Kernel as another last resort also.

ok ill try to find it by removing apps
can games also be a problem or only apps ?
Anything that you have personally installed could cause a problem. But I would say it is more likely an app than a game. Try to think of apps that requested most permissions, or that you think may interact with the sound settings.

Bug Report: [ROM][WIP][PORT] CyanogenMod 11 M8 4.4.4 [BETA]

Hi there,
First off I would like to thank AngSanley for his work on the 4.4.4 CM 11 ROM, absolutely excellent development and keep up the good work. Hopefully I thought I would make a bug report here since i still can't post in the X development section:
1. Phone.apk problems:
a. Operator and Caller names coincide with each other (Issue was mentioned before in the thread however still looking forward to hearing from @AngSanley for a reply)
b. Repeated Missing Calls crash the com.android.phone process and the only solution is to call the missing call to get the phone app running again. To emulate that leave the call until it ends twice and see what happens
2. System Processes
In Jelly Bean and Ice Cream Sandwich you were able to disable system stock apps such as Browser, email, messages and it was possible to install the playstore apps as a replacement. I was wondering if it's still possible to enable that in the current ROM or it's not a bug as of the new releases.
Note: This also includes Trebuchet since I'm not currently using it.
3. Reboots in some cases disables the home button action in UDNB and prevents the lockscreen process from running properly which requires me to reinstall the ROM and Gapps while clearing cache and Delvik or by force stop and enabling lockscreen (which gets me to problem 2 sometimes).
Thank you again for the ROM and looking forward to hearing about upcoming updates with the ROM.
For the first issue, the problem is known. I mentioned it but it's difficult to fix.
For the third issue though, I found a solution. I disabled UDNB and installed Soft Buttons app. If the buttons crash, I disable them from the app and immediately enable them again. I reboot and... that's all!
(as for the second, I use some stock apps, so I can't tell you for sure)

Hopefully it gets addressed because it makes the phone literally unusable. The current list by AngSanley doesn't show it so I hope it's addressed to him.

No problem it's fine. The imitation of it can be made if you even disable messages for example. It shows immediately that the phone loses functionality especially in the lockscreen process.
I'm really looking forward to hearing from @AngSanley on these. Especially on the phone process issue .

Couldn't attach it from Tapatalk. Here you are!
(Note that you MUST disable UDNB from Settings > Apps first, because the phone will show you 2 navbars!)

Unfortunately I won't be able to do that since I just bricked my phone while formatting to the original stock version lol. I'm currently stuck on Nokia Emergency Connectivity and will be sending it to the Nokia care center next month haha. I'll be doing a fresh install when I get it back.
PS: I'm guessing no solutions for this problem outside the warranty am I right?

Just an idea but go to your Developer options then scroll to the very bottom and select Inactive apps. Touch to toggle it for calculator and try again.

Thankyou for the brain storming you guys, still it didnt had any effect.
6p, and I have the same issue.. Strange.
Did you guys flash the update using factory image files or did you flash the actual OTA file? Because I find that flashing files from the factory images to update can cause issues sometimes. The OTA files sometimes have upgrade scripts that may change some things that need to be changed on the /data partition and you wouldn't get those changes if you just flashed the new /system partition.
Last night I was having this issue (as mentioned above). Today, the calculator app opens up just fine. Even more strange...

AccuWeather Widget Issue

Hello, right now I have an issue with my Galaxy Note 3's stock AccuWeather widget being unable to find my current location. I am running on the 5.0 FOB6 firmware with root and the widget was running fine until this morning when it would not update. My location settings are set to high accuracy, and my GPS still works without issue and currently the widget is blank showing the time and the "Tap to add city" phrase. A factory reset did not fix things with the widget nor did clearing the cache and dalvik in TeamWin Recovery fix it. The only way the widget works is if I typed my current city into the search box after the "Location error" box goes away.

Have you recently installed any type of app that requires location services? Also battery saving apps and antivirus apps can cause this problem. They can kill the widgets request for location updates. If you haven't installed anything new like this, then there's one quick thing you can try. Go into your Apps manager and go to the All tab. Find the WeatherDaemon and force stop it and clear the data. Then find the LocationServices and force stop it and clear the data as well. You'll have to reset your location preferences but it may fix the issue.
As far as I remember the only app that I installed that really used location settings heavily was snapchat. Maybe the latest update caused an issue. The only Antivirus app I have is Lookout. Now I'm assuming by the "WeatherDaemon" you mean the Unified daemon. I have cleared the data from it but I don't know which app would be LocationServices.
Yes the Unified daemon is the same thing. They are named different depending on some ROM's. Mine is WeatherDaemon and I have a LocationServices also. Just look for anything under the All tab that says Location and kill it and clear data. It won't hurt anything. You may possibly have to reboot to rebuild the cache, but that about it.

I recently just did as you said by clearing everything that included location in all of my apps and rebooted the phone. The stock accuweather widget still shows up with the cannot find location error. At this point I am either contemplating downloading the firmware via sammobile and doing a fresh install with odin or extracting the weather widget from the stock rom and deleting the widget from my current state.

Yeah an Odin flash would definitely do the trick if it truly is just software. Have you tried downloading the AccuWeather widget from the Play Store to see if it has location issues? Or any other weather widget for that matter. Try that can see if it works correctly.

Hey me either, I'm determined to fix this issue as ever since I bought the phone I haven't had any issues software related from that point all the way up until yesterday morning. Haha. Well I'm going to do the full wipe in recovery, Odin Flash and reroot on the latest firmware which should be N900TUVUFOL1. Afterwards I'll update and see if things have been fixed.

I too am having the exact same issue you described down to the T . I did all of thee above as well and nothing has been working to fix the problem. The only thing I didn't do was the factory reset, but that was going to be my next step if I couldn't find a solution. I also have the Note 3, the only difference is I am on Sprint. I found this thread through a Google search. I am beginning to think that maybe it's a connection issue between the stock software and Accuweather server maybe? I started having this problem yesterday. I also installed the Accuweather App from the Play Store and that one works fine.

I will really dig into the issue and see if I can find a fix for you guys. It's not just the Note 3 that's having this problem. I've seen people with the Note 4, S4, and S5 talking about it as well.
How weird is this! I just tried refreshing the location again a few minutes ago, and it started working again on its own! So NoteSeriesEnthusiast27 might wanna try again and see if it works for him too?
