[Java for Android App Development] DerStrom8:
Hi Folks, Hopefully this is the right place for this thread. I don't get over here very often so I'm guessing right now.

I wrote an app for my phone (Sprint Galaxy SIII) in Eclipse to control a IOIO (not terribly important to know for this question). I run the app in the emulator and it fires up just fine, but when I run it on my phone (with supposedly the same settings as the emulator--Android version, AP level, etc) it crashes on startup, saying "Unfortunately, <My App> has stopped".

Since it works in the emulator I can't track LogCat to check for errors, so I have no idea where to start looking for the cause. It only crashes on my actual device. My questions are as follows:

1) What would cause an app to work in the emulator but fail to start up in a device with (supposedly) the same settings?

2) Where can I go to look for errors on my phone (if possible) that might point me to the problem?

Thanks!

Matt

Only log could tell you the possible reasons.

Install catalog and look for the error log
[Java for Android App Development] DerStrom8:
Thanks Vivek_Neel. I tried a couple of log viewer apps but they all require superuser access for use on Android 4.1+. I forgot to add it to my profile, but I currently have a Galaxy SIII running Android 4.4.2.

Any other suggestions? I'd rather not root my phone if I don't have to.

Thanks,

Matt
[Java for Android App Development] Jonny:
Running the app on your phone with it plugged in to a pc and eclipse open should mean that eclipse catches the log, no root access needed, you would need to allow adb debugging though. If it doesn't work with eclipse I know for definite that it works with Android Studio.
[Java for Android App Development] DerStrom8:
Eclipse doesn't seem to recognize my phone. It only brings up the emulator as an available device. Perhaps I should dig more into the cause of that first. You're saying if I load the app on my phone while connected to the PC it'll still show up in the logcat? That would be a huge help if that's the case!
[Java for Android App Development] Jonny:
It should do - worked this way around a year ago when I was using eclipse myself before jumping ship to AS.
[Java for Android App Development] taptigo:
You might want to handle uncaught exceptions and either debug, write to a file or what ever is the best way for you.

You can see an implementation example for handling uncaught exceptions here: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/8943288/how-to-implement-uncaughtexception-android.

Please note that some crashes are not caught using this technique so you'll need to use the above mentioned methods to view logcat.

If you have root on your device, install a logcat viewer application. most likely that filtering the display by your package name (or parts of it) we'll lead you to the error cause.
[Java for Android App Development] DerStrom8:
Thanks everyone for the help, I have found the solution. Eclipse wasn't recognizing my phone because apparently the driver was no longer installed (I thought I had installed it a long time ago, but that must have been on my laptop--I'm on my desktop now). I installed it and Eclipse found the phone no problem. I loaded the app while watching LogCat and found the following:

Well that was embarrassing! Added the Bluetooth permissions to the app et voila! The app works just fine.

Thanks for your time!

[Xperia Z3 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fastlone:
You can try to reflash nordic Lollipop or download a KitKat firmware which you had when you bought a phone. Maybe it'll fix your screen. If not, you'll be on your default system. That will ensure you that your warranty is okay :)

hi i wanted to try out picsel browser for my trinity.. so recently I installed

Picsel Browser for Pocket PC but because it didn't work i removed it afterwards.

But the program left something in the machine that I can not think a way to remove it.

Every time I turn on my screen i get a "pop-up" wich says: "Can not find

\Windows\PicselBrowser.exe".

I searched all registry can not find the key to launch program at every time power on.

i hope some one can help me...

thx
[P3600 General] lts:
Try to check the notification queue for an event that will try to run \windows\picselbrowser.exe, and if there is such an event then delete it.

The event should be NOTIFICATION_EVENT_WAKEUP

Edit: you will of course need a program that can show the notification queue and delete the event if relevant.

If you don't have such a program already, then have a look at dotfreds taskmgr: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=280104
[P3600 General] mikeymika:
ok thx i'll go try it
[P3600 General] pthomson:
What didn't work with the browser. I'm using it and it runs great.
[P3600 General] mikeymika:
it just didn't start... it gave an error i believe...

so that was the reason i deleted the program again.
[P3600 General] pthomson:
Did the app just shutdown or did you actually get an error message? If the app just shutdown then its probably due to not having a data connection. The app does not open the connection so before using picsel I open up IE and once connected I close IE.
[P3600 General] emay:
Can you tell me where you got the picselbrowser software?
[P3600 General] Shadoh:
LOL, same please.

If you tell, tell privately. We're not allowed to distribute this app.

Is it running fine on your trinities guys?? It takes so much time to load the first time, something like 30 seconds..

Did anybody find a solution for this??
[P3600 General] mikeymika:
well i couldn't get it away... so i gave it a hard reset... that did work.. so..

and about were i got the software.... i dont know exactly anymore... i just googled...
[P3600 General] isidar:
Hi,

I have the same problem with the /Windows/PicselBrowser.exe popup and I try to get it away ...

Do you know, wether the Free Task Manager will work also with the WM 6.1 ???

So the question, if it works with WM 6.1 ... YES IT DOES !!!

BUT I could not delete the event in the notification as you said, then I changed the moment it should pop up into "when a IR network was dected" or something like this - as I am sure I never will have a IR-Network working :)

Butu it is not the solution that makes me happy ...

may be I did something wrong ...

by the way, Picsel works quite fine with my Touch Cruise and WM 6.1 the only problem the nasty popup :)

bye

[XDA Assist] Heisenberg:
Hi :)

Thanks for writing to us at XDA Assist. Well, you're in a bit (actually, a lot) of trouble here. By deleting /system you've completely erased your operating system, so there's absolutely no way your phone is going to boot no matter how many new batteries you put into it, there's no operating system for the phone to boot into. I need some more information please, does the device power on at all? Do you see a never-ending boot animation? Or are there absolutely no signs of life from the phone?
[XDA Assist] rekz100:
Thank you so much for Response sir :crying:

Absolutely no Boot , No sign of anything . but when i try to put a new Battery on it , it boot for a couple of times :

Logo of Carrier after 4 tries of booting , coz iam hoping to boot in to Bootloader , stock recovery and trying if CWM still exist :(

It turns back to deadboot , and no startup no power , but still Detectable at my Desktop :(

My desktop is Windows 7 ultimate x64-bit Service pack 1 , is it possible or how can i forcely Flash system.ext4.tar or /system File on it :confused: ? and is it Okay or Possible to flash a Firmware that comes from another Model/Device that has same Specifications ?

i try to explore and search deep on any GSM or related to my problems ,

Try some " how to install driver of Qualcomm MSM8225Q , how to install qualcomm drivers , how to flash on ADB , but still no luck ..

Also on my Starmobile ICON , this is one of my Problem, is Where do i hell can i get this phone model FIRMWARE :( Thats what the tech told me " Only Stock Firmware is my Main Solution " :(

Please help me :( iam just a teenager , can't afford to buy a new one , and still hoping to revive my Phone :(

Anyway tnx again from your response sir :crying:
[XDA Assist] Heisenberg:
Unfortunately I can't find any stock firmware for your device anywhere so your options are pretty limited. You can try asking your question here:

Am I missing it or are there instructions to root and instructions for multi-boot but no ROM for the LG G Vista, please?

I've searched and read through a bunch of threads but nada ... so far.

Will any of the ROMs for other LG G-series phones work?

Thanks!
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] handygeek7:
Wait ... I just looked in About phone and it says this is a VS880.

I just got this from Verizon.

I'm seeing the VS880 referred to as a G2 and a G3 on the Internet - what is it really, please?

It came with Android 4.4.2, kernel version 3.4.0+, and our son rooted it for me earlier today.

Just in case any of those details help ...
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zelendel:
They are the same thing. One is the internal name while the other is normal users name of the device. As for roms make sure to do your reading up as the device is pretty locked down.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] handygeek7:
So, you are saying that there is no ROM anywhere for the LG G Vista/VS880?

Is there any reason to believe that anyone is actively developing one?

There are so many sites touting Rooting as a pathway to loading a ROM it seems odd there there is not one.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zelendel:
It takes more then root. You need an u locked bootloader or a way to bypass a locked bootloader like safestrap or bump. Most developers that make roms only make them for devices they own.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] handygeek7:
The bootloader bypass has been solved:

http://www.unlock-bootloader.info/mp3-0/lg-g-vista-6569.html

The LG G Vista/VX880 is "free" on Verizon with the $16/mo Edge data plan & has a nice big display.

I have my Samsung Tab4 7" tablet for sale as I don't need it now that I have the LG G Vista/VX880.

There are ROMs for the models all around the LG G Vista/VX880 - it's hard to believe that LG made that phone so radically different from the others that tweaking an existing ROM to port it would be beyond a developer.

Sure wish I had the skills ... sigh.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zelendel:
It's not really that. It's most developers seldom do ports. Let alone for devices that don't have. After looking at the spec is not a bad mid range device. But also remember that. Most carriers in the world are GSM carriers and very few work on cdma devices.

There are plenty of Tuts on how to port. Could be something you could look into
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] handygeek7:
Back to this ...

Modified request: Is there an app/hack that strips-out all of the Google stuff, especially their backdoors & data-leeching?

If no one is going to build a custom mod - which seems apparent - it sure would be good to have a clean machine onto which to then install carefully selected apps.

Thanks!
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zelendel:
Simple answer is no. You would have to build a rom from source and then remove alot of the Google based code. There is a project that is working on it but you lose alot of functionality.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] handygeek7:
Cannot the functionality be restored via privacy-respecting alternative apps?

What about an app that monitors the bad behavior of the Google code than cannot be removed and blocks execution of data-leeching & activity monitoring?
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zelendel:
Not completely no. Many have been trying over the years. Your biggest issue is the device your using. Once that is taken care of you can try and build something but like I said alot of the stuff is built directly into the os.

To be honest privacy is an illusion at best now a days. Every thing monitors what you do. From credit cards to social net networking. It is all made to get as much info as it can about a person. Even carriers do it. It has even come to light that Verizon can monitor the apps installed on a device.

[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jeff_roey:
Really? BOC4 looks like a later build even if the VZW flyer looks the same. If it were the same it should have been reissued as OA8. Makes no sense that Verizon would pull it, prob for performance, sit on it and reissue the same FW under a different build number. It's gotta include some change, even if minor. I'm expecting we'll eventually be allowed to take it.

Where did you read that OA8's won't get it? I noticed the sammobile and one other story reported the build no. as OA4, not OC4 that's shown by VZW which may be leading to some of that confusion. Something issued as OA4 would have been a roll back from OA8 based on my understanding of how build numbers are assigned.
