I have some people saying they're not getting the xda update which includes a ton of features including a thanks button for your mobile app. I have it on my rooted evo 3d and my unrooted galaxy tab, on both the old market and new. Tap a persons name and a thanks option comes up with a few others. Am I the only one?
[HTC EVO 3D] r0cky0790:
Nope, thank me and ill thank you. ;)

Yeah, new update is awesome. Search is still bloody awful. But a great update, nonetheless.

Except when i tried to upload a shootme screenshot, told me insufficient permissions contact site admin (or something like that). I've been on xda since 2008, senior member status. Anyone else experience this? Would really like to know.

Thanks in advance

Edit: i just thanked chefdave for the fun of it ;)
[HTC EVO 3D] chefdave12118:

Only the xda premium app has an update. The regular one does not.

[TouchPad Development] MrNick01:
Is anyone feeling adventurous (or have an extra TouchPad)?

If so, here is something that may entertain you.

This is a android image with a msm8660\apq8060 kernel, the qcom chipset used in the touchpad. Image built from gingerbread stable branch. Android 2.3.3_r1, kernel 2.6.35-7.

Will it work? I have no idea. As my touchpad is still enroute, I have yet to try it, but it will update this thread\post when I do.

there is no recovery, nothing to flash this with, wanna explain?

Ill flash it

Ill flash it, if you can help me find a way. I tried messing with webOS dr but it uses jar files for installations
[TouchPad Development] kns7977:
I'd like to flash it if:

1. There's a way a newbie like myself can do.

2. webOS doctor can reflash it in case of failures.

#1 shouldn't be much of a problem, since I'm a computer programmer but just new to android stuff.

But #2 concerns me.
[TouchPad Development] johntash:
I'm guessing you can probably use dd to copy the image over? If the image is already from a touchpad and uses a different bootloader, you could probably copy that too.

I'd be worried about webos doctor not being able to restore the device too though. If nobody else tries it, I might do it just to see what happens :)
[TouchPad Development] NotATreoFan:
Given the infancy of TouchPad Android Development, and the definite possibility of a shiny brick, I'm going to close this thread down.

[Motorola Droid 3] PyroHoltz:
---Solved---

So, I pulled a noob move and uninstalled a number of apps using titanium backup without understanding the repercussions of each. After uninstalling a few at a time, I would reboot my device and everything seemed fine. Little did I know, after uninstalling most, if not all, of the bloat I am unable to click a contact's picture to bring up the submenu and select call or text or whatever.

I didn't write down a list of items that I uninstalled and I should have frozen the apps prior to uninstall. I'm not a complete idiot and stayed away from obvious apps that shouldn't be uninstalled and what I thought was ALL motroblur stuff.

Long story short, I get a "com.motorola.contacts" stopped unexpectedly error(force close prompt) after trying to view a contact. I can look through all of the dialer menus showing contacts and recent calls and whatnot but I can't view a specific contact in detail. The searching I've done seems like there are a number of apps that use com.motorola.contacts and I believe I still have all of them installed but apparently not since there isn't a ton of detail on the latest motoblur that the D3 runs.

Does anyone have an idea of what apps use this process on the D3?

Thanks.

Problem solved.

Thanks again Javier :)
[Motorola Droid 3] Javier78:
Same situation here. I'm guessing it was the yahoo contact storage, but I'm not entirely sure. I tried pushing the yahoo app back into the system folder, but it still throws the error, even after resetting the phone.

Keep in mind that the entire system has been dumped, so I think it's as easy as grabbing the necessary apks from the system dump and put it back on the Droid 3.
[Motorola Droid 3] servax102:
It might be the best idea to reference the original list and restore what's missing then:

http://pastebin.com/HEtYBmuz
[Motorola Droid 3] royolpunk:
I got this same message. I defrosted all and redid. I think its the authenticators that's causing them, I re freezed stuff I didn't want and everytime I finished I checked to see if my contacts were working. They are as of now :]
[Motorola Droid 3] Javier78:
As it turns out, I was partially correct. The files that were missing were "YahooContacts.apk", "YahooContacts.odex", "blur_yahoo.apk" and "blur_yahoo.odex" (I've attached them for your convenience). Move these files onto the SD card, and using root explorer, move them to "/system/app". The important part: Once you move these files to this directory, you must change their permissions and their owner. Here are the steps if you are using root explorer:

1. Mount the directory as R/W in the top right corner.

2. Press and hold the file, and go to permissions. Change the permissions so that the Owner has read and write privileges, Group has read privileges, and Others have read privileges. Do this for the other files you copy over (This is important! These won't be recognized as system apps if the permissions are messed up).

3. Press and hold the file again, and change both the owner and group to root. Do this for all the files you copy over as well.

4. Reboot.

This pretty much solved the problem for me. Now I know better than to go uninstalling willy-nilly. :D
[Motorola Droid 3] PyroHoltz:
Javier, thanks a ton, you saved my ass. Also, this finally gave me an excuse to purchase Root Explorer.

As far as you know, is there any risk to setting these files with such high permissions?

Also, do we know what the chances are, of getting rid of these files all together or is that going to require a custom ROM?
[Motorola Droid 3] Javier78:
As far as I can tell, these are the standard permissions set for every system app. There shouldn't be any risks. ;)

As for getting rid of all these files...that may require a custom ROM. Not entirely sure.

Oh, and it was nothing, really. I'm just glad I got myself out of that mess. :)
[Motorola Droid 3] scyang:
followed instructions, still not working

i restored the yahoo stuff, changed permissions and owner to -rw-r--r-- and root; changed group to root as well. rebooted and contacts is still crashing. could there possibly be more apps associated with contacts than just yahoo? i put blur_email back as well but that hasn't helped things.

[Motorola Droid 3] aurkachra:
This process worked perfectly for my Droid 3. I know i deleted yahoo contacts the day earlier. Follow the process and ur contacts will be up and running like normal.
[Motorola Droid 3] tech515:
I couldn't get it to work either until I tried this http://www.droidforums.net/forum/te...tacts-wont-display-droid-x-w-gingerbread.html

See post #3. After doing this, I pulled battery, turned back on. It boot-looped once, then started up. Took a minute to load, but viola! My contacts worked again!
[Motorola Droid 3] Cyaankali:
Hi Javier78,

Thanks in the first place for such a great post. I also had the forced closed contacts problem and i took all the steps that are needed but the problem still exists.

I placed the 4 Yahoo files in system/app with Root Explorer, changed the things that you said and also the owner to root.

Then i removed the battery, put it back in but i still have the forced closed problem.

What did i do wrong in the first place?

Hi guys, i have done exactly what you said, the files are in system/app with the good permissions and owner settings, but after my reboot the Contacts application still force close, and YahooContacts.apk ect. are not installed. Do you have any idea?
[Motorola Droid 3] iscyi:
Nevermind, found the problem. I needed the exact files for my Atrix 4G with the same android version.
[Motorola Droid 3] alelks:
I have a question about step "3". I'm using "Root Explorer" on a Droid Bionic and I see no way of changing the owner and group to "root" as "Root" doesn't show up anywhere on the permissions screen. I'm thinking that this last step is preventing me from solving my problem.

Could someone set an old fart straight on how this is accomplished?

EDIT: Also, I just noticed that I uninstalled the Yahoo Mail Authenticator and most likely that is my problem. Does anyone have the files I can put back into the system folder?

Thanks,
[Motorola Droid 3] alelks:
Got it. My problem was I deleted the com.motorola.blur.provider.yahoo files needed. Once I obtained those three files it works fine now.
[Motorola Droid 3] dvet:
Yes, thanks a lot to all of you, guys... just couple of additional tips from complete beginner as myself:

- In order to be able to copy files there, you must turn the "Airplane mode" ON.

- Even if the "Execute" permission is already turnd ON and seems tasty (after all, you are trying to EXECUTE these functions:-) ... UNTICK it. otherwise it wont work. Simply do EXACTLY as you are told on the posts above.

Lastly: In my case Yahoo stuff was already there (previously I have frozen it using TB and then found here at XDA that I have to defrost it) ... I brought myself this error by freezing some other apps... if there was comprehensive list of what does what and if it is safe to freeze/uninstallit, it would be helpful.

My current culprits are:

Work Contacts

Dlna

GoogleServicesFramwork

BlurContacts

BlurContactsSync

SmartDock

KpiLogger

VoiceSearch

VoiceReadout

SimContactsAdapter

GoogleContactsSyncAdapter

... to name some of many.

- Things get even more difficult considering that different people use different services: myself, I have all my contacts on Exchange and synchronize using Touchdown - so I personally do not need Google stuff related neither to contacts, nor to calendar - but others live different life.

Using Root explorer, try changing "BlurContactsSync.apk" to "BlurContactsSync.bak"

---------- Post added at 12:22 AM ---------- Previous post was at 12:16 AM ----------

If you're using root explorer, and you've successfully navigated your way to to the system/app section... select and continue to hold until the options menu displays, then you can scroll down to "change owner" (it's a few below permissions and properties, just keep scrolling until you come to it) then it's a simple drop option screen. The window doesn't look like you can scroll down, but you can. Also, someone posted a zip file for the yahoo apps, but those will only address certain sync issues (that most people in this post seem to be having). Be sure to have the unzipped files located on you "sdcard-ext" for moving. You'll have to move them one-by-one and change the permissions and owner/group settings for each once they're in system/app location.

Ok I have sdcard directory mounted as RW, but it won't let me change permissions on anything! it says "Permissions change was not successful. Please note that some file systems (e.g. SD card) do not allow permission changes."

I've read it's because it's formatted FAT32?

any help would be appreciated....

[Motorola Droid 3] Mechphisto:
Nope

I'm having the same problem, and none of this has helped.

I have Titanium, but the only thing I have frozen is Easy Battery because I want to try GreenPower without uninstalling.

Speaking of which, the only thing I have uninstalled recently is GreenPower Free after I bought the full version.

I first tried renaming the two BlurContactsSync files, then reboot... no change.

Then I copied those 4 zipped files above (as I've an ATRIX 2 with 2.3.6) over to /system/apps and changed permissions to 644 and owner/group to root, and powerbooted... no change.

Then I saw something where someone mentioned LinkedIn app asking about syncing, and I recalled I installed LinkedIn and told it not to sync contacts yesterday. So I un- and reinstalled. LinkedIn and allowed it to sync contacts. But when I went in to my contacts... still crashing.

I'm now at a complete loss. Any more suggestions?

Thanks,

Liam
[Motorola Droid 3] 66crush:
If Freezing with Titanium...

I had frozen both my Yahoo Contacts and Yahoo Mail Authenticator on my Moto Electrify. I defrosted those and all works for the same error. Thought I'd pass that along just in case others only froze and didn't remove.

[T-Mobile LG G2x] Harjyot1:
I bought the phone new in Canada. I have experienced problems with the gps along with some stability issues, and minor screen bleed. I called LG Canada yesterday, and the guy was ready to set up a repair request. I delay this action, and when I called today, the LG person says I have no warranty, and the person I called in the US confirmed this. So what do I do now? I'll contact Cellworldco, who I bought it from, about it tomorrow, that's for sure. I am using the July baseband.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] jboxer:

I tried calling HTC but since I am not within the warranty anymore they said that they can't sell me 1. If anyone is still within their warranty and could get 1 from HTC and sell it to me that'd be really cool.

Well right now I am using an otterbox, but I qualify for an upgrade soon and once I do qualify for it I plan to use the phone just with this neoprene pouch. I really want to enjoy the feel of the phone without cases being on it all the time. But right now if I did that and dropped the phone and it broke, I'd be in a bad situation so I am waiting for my upgrade in a few months so if it breaks I have an upgrade waiting for me.

I have an ATT Atrix with 4.5.91. A couple of days ago, the Atrix started crashing 10+ times per day. It always happens if I try to turn on wifi, but happens other times too. Sometimes wifi will show error, instead of turning on. Bluetooth has been spotty as well. Any ideas? I tried reflashing 4.5.91 already.

It is unlocked with the 4.5.91 pudding + preroot sbf. I had the upgrade.zip version on it when I started experiencing the problem. I then flashed it with the 4.5.91 mentioned above to see if that would fix the issue. I have not installed any new apps recently, but some could have updated I suppose.

When I am able to turn wifi on, it will sometimes connect but only for a few seconds. Then it just reboots multiple times. If I am able to get it running, it says error by the turn on wifi option under settings. Mobile hotspot doesn't work either. If I keep wifi off, it doesn't crash.

I've tried restoring to factory settings, both through the factory data reset while the phone is on and through android recovery, but neither help. Any other ideas?
