apps installer crashing

I'm having the same problem. My Nexus One just auto-updated to the latest version (2.1.1) and since then apps installer is crashing on open, and Email client won't work either - I can't get past the initial setup screen with my username/password - Next/Manual are greyed out. Tried downloading the Email apk from this site, but I can't reinstall it without apps installer (or at least I don't know how). I'm trying to avoid resetting my phone, but it's looking like I might have to.

Hey!

Anyone know of an app or widget that keeps track of how many SMS you have sent and how many minutes you've been talking (outgoing calls only) within a month?

I had one before I wiped the phone, but I can't remember the name.

Also, I've tried one that's called Free Widget but it didn't work as expected. It only counts how many sent messages you have stored on you phone, once you delete a message the counter drops down.

Cheers!
[Android Apps and Games] dizzer83:
I know that Handscent SMS has a messages sent counter that you have to reset manually (or timed im not sure if they updated that yet)
[Android Apps and Games] rekekjeks:
Thanks, but I prefer the built-in SMS application =)

I appreciate your reply though.

[Touch 3G General] studentpaps:
I have recently found that in the past couple of days, if I charge my battery to full it will lose charge, and reset itself, exceptionally quickly.

I can have a full charge one minute, my girlfriend can call for ten minutes, and then the battery will die; when I turn my phone back on, instantly, the light will flash and the 'battery low' symbol will appear in the right hand corner of the screen; the strange thing is, when I leave the phone for ten minutes, or more, the phone will suddenly come back to life again, and start working as usual; as you can imagine, quite an annoying situation, especially when your girlfriend thinks you are constantly hanging up on her........hahaha

I have taken steps, and ordered a new battery, but I'm unsure if this is the issue, or whether or not it is the original orange rom that is the problem. It'd be of much help if someone can inform me on this issue, whether they have experienced it before, or, if they can give me any steps to change this..it'd be much appreciated.

hi

1. how old is ur phone may be its more than a yr old and its time for a new battery mine is around 2yrs and the battery is draining fast but then i gave it to my wife whos usage is not much and its ok for her:D

battery life is something u cant really comment on some get great life some get not all that good life mine was quite good for all the usage and flashing i did :D

but im sure ur new battery will give u better battery life i dont thing theirs any thing wrong with ur phone this as per my experience thats all:D
[Touch 3G General] studentpaps:
In response

The problem that I have is that it only occurs when I'm on the phone; the phone conversation will last between 2-5 mins and then just cut off and reset; the phone works perfectly fine when I'm doing any other task- I can stream programmes on myplayer, etc. So, all I can do is wait for my new battery and hope it's a battery fault.

I bought the phone second hand, so the battery and the phone maybe more than a year old, so I just have to wait and see. It just seems a bit random, especially since the phone was working perfectly about a week ago. It seems like something has affected the battery, or something that won't allow me to make or accept any incoming phone calls.

Oh, and thank you Haree for your reply.

Regards,

Nick

Hello I updated to the official froyo but they left out the 3d gallery with pinch to peek, is there a way to get it? I'm not rooted should I be? I don't even know where to start help much appreciated
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] chino0131:
Honestly, I dont know how, or if, you can get it without rooting. My advice would be to root. I can understand being apprehensive if you've never done it before, but what you gain is entirely worth it. Especially wireless tether. Follow any guide, most are basic, and you should be good to go. You can get the 3D gallery two ways. 1) push it to your phone via ADB. If you google "3D gallery" the APK is easy to find. Or 2) Flash the latest Fresh Rom, go into Rom Manager and download the "Vanilla Lock+Vanilla Apps-World Clock". This will give you the Vanilla Android music app, clock, and 3d Gallery.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gx1400:

[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nhutpham:
If he updated to official froyo, he wouldn't be able to root right now, right?

The gallery usually shows up with options to look at just camera shots or certain folders, it doesn't do that for you?

You can Download the software from the following site: outlooktolotusnotes.com, psttonsf.org

[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nickc71:
Has anybody tried "Music Control Lite?" This was developed for the Droid and I couldn't get it to work for the Hero. But I've been looking for something like this for MONTHS, something where I could advance the songs by pressing a hardware button (i.e., when I'm on a treadmill from my pocket without having to swipe open the screen). Blackberry's have allowed you to advance or go back by hard-pressing the volume buttons since my old Curve. Does anybody know anything that does this with the Hero?

I know I can get a BT Headset with the buttons but my Hero rooted, non-rooted no matter what ROM I'm on just skips and slows to a crawl in BT mode ever since I got it last October...

Someone told me that Darchdroid rom had this ability, but was just checking to see if an app did this before I loaded a new rom, on Fresh 2.3.3 now..

So i just upgraded from the original g1 to the samsung vibrant, and im missing the calendar widget from the g1. I couldn't find a widget that does the same as the g1 calendar widget. By this i mean it showed a rectangle that had my upcoming events from my gmail calendar on it. Could someone tell me of an app that does the same and/or does it better?

Thanks :)
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] Fathom0195:
Have you tried smooth calendar? That looks & works great!
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] tpreludesh:

I am rooted and side load enabled so that isn't the problem.

I downloaded MT3GS rom dump and found what I thought might be the apk for it and that refused to install. I also found a thread that claimed to have an installer for it but that wouldn't work either.

I am rooted and side load enabled so that isn't the problem. Any guesses or has anyone gotten the software working on anything?

I'm currently using the AT&T Fuze. I'm waiting to get the Samsung Galaxy S that has a keyboard (unbastardized by Sprint), but my phone is constantly having more and more hardware issues. I am interested in buying a Touch Pro 2 that is of the GSM version and it can be either new or used. My one biggest thing is that I want the screen to be scratch free. If any of you guys are planning on switching to a new phone and don't know what to do with your Touch Pro 2, please message me with how much you are willing to sell it for. I live in the US.

[Desire General] aks1081:
Hi Guys,

Im new to this forum but was hoping i can get some help, i read all the related articles before submitting my case so here goes.

On 1st August 2010 i got a OTA update from HTC for the HTC Desire Unbranded handset.

I downloaded the update over wifi onto my sd card. Then it asked do you wish to install the update so and so so i said 'install now', it performed some backup operations but it said failed to backup settings and automatically restarted the phone.

I got a green bar on the phone so i assumed this was the update in progress. It got to the end and restarted again and i got another green bar. That got to the end and it finally said on the black white htc screen congratulations you have installed the updated so and so.

The phone started.

I realised my sim card was blown away from this update, lost my apn settings, sim card was totally blown. So i called Orange. Told them to send me a new sim card. Anyway prior to me realising about the network. The phone rebooted almost 50 times god knows what it was doing, and eventually i got so mad i switched it off.

Anyway i got a sim card from orange but this problem is not seem to go away, it keeps restarting on its own and i dont have a clue why?

Here are the apps i have installed:

Advanced Task Manager

Aloqa

APN Backup & Restore (decided to get this after first incidence all my apn settings were blown away)

AppBrain

Apps Installer

Aweson Drop

Better Keyboard

Bollywood Hindi Radio

Call filter

Es File Explorer

Extended Controls

Fring

Goggles

Gtasks

Handcent SMS

London Tube Status

Lookout Security

Wave Secure (uninstalled this thought this was the problem)

MP3 Download

Orange Wednesdays

PicSay Pro

Ringtone Randomiser

Sky News

Toss it

The weather Channel

Zedge

Launcherpro

Mybackup pro

Now i unistalled wavesecure thought it was the problem but im still having the problem. When i start My ATK i see there is almost 30 processes running of allmost all the apps when i have not even started them, before when i had 2.1 this never happened and im confused about this.

To be honest. Ive tried tried no result. I even called HTC support they told me to Hold the volume rocker down and power to go into the boot menu and select clear storage i did this.

I put all my phone back together from backup files and settings as everything was erased. Still the phone is restarting on its own.

Any solutions i can try people any help would be appreciated.
[Desire General] repitah:
Check on your SD card if the update is ~90MB (not branded).

The OTA my phone pulled was about 50MB, but when I googled the filename and re-downloaded the file on my PC the actual size was 90MB. The phone had downloaded just over half of the OTA and went ahead with the update, only to break just about everything. I guess a warning sign was the backup of my settings had an error, and that the update took ages. The real hint that everything was broken was when the phone didn't ask for my SIM pin, had no wifi and rebooted itself every few minutes.

Ended up wiping the phone and hacking the 1.21 WW full RUU ROM back onto the phone, then updating to the 2.09 OTA downloaded on the PC (via reboot > recovery > update.zip).
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xHausx:
I was using aLogcat earlier and noticed an error being scrolled every few seconds. If you turn 4G on it will start and the only way to stop it is to reboot and not use 4G.

Does anyone know how to fix this or what is causing it? Whatever DC is it looks like it is trying to connect to a server and update, but for some reason is it using the loopback address.

A google search showed people on the Aria are seeing this same issue and they don't know what it is either.

From the log:

[Vibrant General] timekillerj:
Maybe this is something people already knew, but I just found out by accident! Open the video player, start playing a movie and hit the Power/Lock button. Up to this point I assumed the lock symbol referred to the screen lock that happens when you power back on - NOPE, it's so you don't goof and screw up the movie you're watching! :)

Ironic thing is, I spent about 20 minutes early tonight looking for just this feature before giving up! This phone just keeps getting better and better!

[Captivate Themes and Apps] jamespaulritter:
When I bought the phone I remember plugging in my 2 gmail accounts and then days later noticing that some email was better formatted. Then i realized that the notification dropdown actually takes me to 2 different applications.

Why would it be set up so that I am managing the same email account through 2 different application? The gmail application does a better job of formatting the email so can I turn off the email application. Its a shame that the email application is stuck on the bottom of my home screen.

Also is there a way I can prevent deleted email from sounding an audible alert and placing itself in the notifications dropdown? For example I delete and email and then 30 minutes later when a sync occurs I get a notification that i have new email. Its new email to the trash bin.
[Captivate Themes and Apps] warri:
Its actually very easy to do this, First thing first, lets get that nasty e-mail icon off the bottom of your touchwiz. Check out the PMC (Pimp my Captivate) Guide in the General Section, for a better explanation (and i highly recommend you root, flash custom recovery, enable sideloading, and remove bloatware as per the guide), but essentially, open your applications drawer, hit menu, view type, custom, hit menu, hit arrange, then you can drag and drop out of the bottom row.

Next, open up that same e-mail client, hit menu -> account notifications -> uncheck email notifications .. done
[Captivate Themes and Apps] jamespaulritter:
I'm halfway done with your instructions. Thanks for the good info.

[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] omegasun18:
If you are rooted Most Roms will not allow an OTA to come through.

you have options the option listed above will unroot you and install 2.2.

the other option is to go to the dev forum and download a 2.2 custom rom or the rooted 2.2 stock rom. flash those and you are good to go.

I will remind that currently there is no way to root 2.2 so if you choose to go through the RUU and go to stock rom that way you will NOT be able to root at this time. It could also be WEEKS before a root method is found. I dont know why anyone would want to or would suggest doing this unless you plan to take it in to sprint for repair.
