same problem here, but not related to the update!

i know this from my past:

as my signature shows i'm coming from hd2, and i had a desire hd ROM running

at last. there, after some days of the same rom, the problems with non-updating

news reader started to happen. i even felt smart and deleted the data from the

settings/ applications menue of the news reader, after that i had the same

problem as dyonas: a non functioning news reader.

sorry, but back then only a clean start (factory reset or in case of the hd2 a

deletion of the data.img) worked...

would be also glad if somebody would tell us how to fix this without having to

reflash/hard-reset!
[Desire HD General] Dyonas:
Funny that you say that TML, I backed up all my apps thinking that it would be the only solution that would definitely fix it. I'll wait and see if we hear anything other than this but it shouldn't be a big deal to restore the apps again. I'd rather avoid it but at least the option is there.
[Desire HD General] Dyonas:
Well I figured I might as well try a factory reset and it worked. The widget works again, and as a bonus my DHD feels ultra nippy again. I thought it was a tiny bit sluggish after I entered account details for sync but a few minutes later I saw why. Notification bar said 36 applications restored.

This phone rocks, Google rocks, Android rocks. All I had to download were things from the HTC hub. I even still have my text messages from before the reset.

[Desire HD General] taz_mw:
hey glad you sorted it...mine seems to be force closing now too.. I'm a newbie so please can you point me in the right direction on how to do a re-set, backup, and restore contacts/apps/messages??? thanks!...btw after reset if I restore apps will the apps still have my data e.g. Angry Birds with my score...or will I have to do it all again!
[Desire HD General] Dyonas:
To backup apps and phone data I used MyBackup Pro from that market but as I said, I didn't need to install them since Google restored them. I didn't get settings and account information on things like Toutieur (twitter app) restored because I didn't restore my backup, I don't know if it will restore properly on the DHD since I didn't try. I was about to try so I could offer a better answer but I'm having issues with data connectivity tonight that I'm 99% sure are to do with T-Mobile.

Steps taken

Download VISIONary from the market and run it to get temporary root

Use MyBackup Pro with root privileges, backup apk and their data, backup phone data (sms, mms etc)

Factory reset the phone (Settings > SD & phone storage > Factory data reset at the bottom)

It gave me two separate confirmation screens (liked that!) then it does the reset, reboots and restores from firmware and the phone loads up after a few minutes.

That's all I did. It's worth mentioning that you shouldn't do this without plenty of battery life.
[Desire HD General] eyeofthetiger:
I am now having the same problem, the news feeds wont refresh! Is a hard reset the only option?
[Desire HD General] Dyonas:
I don't know if a hard reset is the only option but the response I got from HTC suggested clearing the cache of both the app and widget, which I did before my "force stop" madness. The factory reset was a pain but short of waiting a week or more for HTC to get somewhere it's the fastest. Using WiFi during the setup after the reset it had all my apps and other information back within 10 minutes. The only things missing were sound sets and a skin I downloaded from the HTC Hub, everything else was there.
[Desire HD General] taz_mw:
I just hard reset mine. Newsreader is now working. I got the same response as you from HTC
[Desire HD General] kpf16:
Hard reset for second time, working again but for how long? Just using app not widget.
[Desire HD General] mbrudnoch:
what about backuping up News 1.0 using titanium backup for example
[Desire HD General] eyeofthetiger:
Can confirm this has now happened twice to me!

Any solution here? or an alternative app that has a nice appearance like this one?

A hard reset is not a solution!
[Desire HD General] kpf16:
Is this problem just with the widget? Can the above back up app only be used with rooted phones?
[Desire HD General] bzpwhx:
my experience froyo 2.2

Just my experience....

Tried to add BBC or Gizmodo.

On the channel list showed up a red spot with ! Probably cause no news are found!

Seeing that I have opened the channel and I have played with the menu

Some seconds and I all the news appeared !!

But returning to the channels list the red spot was still there.

I think that the reader think the news are already been red or something like that...

And more, I cannot remove the subscription!

I suppose that the first time you connect to Google it download your google reader subs and after then fails to sinc or manage new ones
[Desire HD General] Dwro8ea:
I have the same issue with the news gadget and the friend stream gadget. I might agree with some of the posts above that this happened around the recent update. No other issues with this phone

[Desire HD General] taz_mw:
Right...the dam widget has stopped working again and is force closing. I DO NOT want to hard reset AGAIN! I have just sent HCT support a raving email!
[Desire HD General] taz_mw:
Hi mate...try Buzzbox in the market..I think it's the closest you'll get for Free
[Desire HD General] ankhazam:
SOLUTION!!!!

Ladies and Gentleman,

this issue can be fixed!

1) Clear all the cache from News and News Widget

2) Clear caches of Reader (might be unnecessary though)

3) Clear HTC Sense Cache (might be unnecessary)

After the 1 step the widget stops to work.

Therefore this is what should You do to continue:

4) Go to Market and download Google Reader (an ugly Google RSS app), it installs as Reader.

5) Run it

6) You might mess with some of its' subscriptions (the same as for the news)

7) Re-initialize your working HTC News Widget :]

EDIT:

Please try first without steps 2 and 3 :)

EDIT2: (working confirmed procedure)

1) Clear all the cache from News and News Widget (optional)

After the 1 step the widget stops to work.

Therefore this is what should You do to continue:

4) Go to Market and download Google Reader (an ugly Google RSS app), it installs as Reader.

5) Run it

6) You might mess with some of its' subscriptions (the same as for the news)

7) Re-initialize your working HTC News Widget :]
[Desire HD General] jeronnimo:
Thank You! Works fine for me!
[Desire HD General] uniqueusername:
Thanks for this, works for me.

I started at step 4 as my news & its widget had no cache to clear (hadn't worked since 25th Nov, dunno if that makes a difference). After installing and running the Google program I restarted the News widget and it was like new...thanks again, I'd given up.
[Desire HD General] xmoo:
Yesssssssss confirmed working :D
[Desire HD General] ankhazam:
Goodie.. Sticky it then :)
[Desire HD General] Gurps777:
Locations, Maps and weather.

Okay so randomly my weather widget stoped working, it's stuck on one location which is 5 miles away from me...it used to work perfectly. I read up a little and seems it's known problem...Any solutions...Yes i've tried hard reset.

Htc Locations and (Google) Maps is brilliant except it doesn't find my exact location...maybe a couple of streets away...

Is this normal? I mean I used to get exactly location when i turn off "Use wireless to find location" and Gps is off...So it's finding location from nothing??? but it found it exact then it can't update and asks me to switch on location settings and once on it can't find the exact location.

I'd be thankful if anyone could elaborate and explain things a little...
[Desire HD General] cattleprod:
have you try clearing the cache as well as the data in news app
[Desire HD General] Zbig_T:
Many thanks ankhazam for posting your findings - you've saved my evening as I'd probably perform second phone wipe just because of this issue if I didn't find your solution. It happened for the second time on my Desire Z and it looks like it happens every two weeks or so but more on this later. Oh, and greetings from Trójmiasto, BTW ;)

I wondered how is it possible that you can fix this using completely different app and began to suspect there's some security token which is expiring. Doing some googling I came by this:

groups.google.com / group / fougrapi / browse_thread / thread / 2b62a89db99f2b07?pli=1

(sorry for that -turns out I'm not yet allowed to post links here)

and it seems that's just the case. Looks like the very same issue, doesn't it? If that's really the case, we'll have to do the official Google Reader install-uninstall trick every two weeks or so until HTC fixes this. Maybe even wiping of the app data doesn't have anything to do with it? Have you tried to just use the official Reader and see if it fixes the HTC one?

I think I'm going to forward this info to HTC support - what do you guys think?

Regards

Zbig
[Desire HD General] wmfreak:
install google reader and it will work
[Desire HD General] wmfreak:
Had the same issue, installed Google reader and after syncing the account the news feed worked again
[Desire HD General] Zbig_T:
I did. But that's not a solution, that's workaround. The issue will most probably reappear after some 2 weeks. I don't want to use Google Reader, I want to use HTC News and it's up to HTC to fix this.
[Desire HD General] pwraggcan:
Simple solution. Don't use htc sense until they sort it ALL out. There are many issues with sense hd. Leave it for a while.
[Desire HD General] eyeofthetiger:
Can someone tell me how to clear the cache from htc news? I have tried to look for this in settings but cant find. Is it essential to do this before you install google reader?
[Desire HD General] cattleprod:
Go into setting, application> manage applications when you find htc news, select it and you will see clear cache option I would clear data as well

Swyped using a misguided desire HD with telepathy
[Desire HD General] eyeofthetiger:
I have cleared the cache and installed google reader now. Htc news is working and updating but it doesnt seem to update as quicky and when i manually refresh i get duplicate news for example the same news is listed 3-4 times. This eventually corrects but it aint working as cleanly as before. Is this normal?
[Desire HD General] Dyonas:
I'm cautiously reporting that since the latest update my HTC News widget has been working as expected. I'll know in a week or two if it's a permanent and welcome fix but I wanted to put it out there so those following the thread know.
[Desire HD General] leith51:
Does anyone know where I can get the stocks app from I deleted it got the widget but no apk
[Desire HD General] siddharthp72:
Thank you for the google reader fix, it works a treat, but one must subscribe to atleast one feed from any source.
[Desire HD General] hrvoje123:
Thanx guys for Google Reader fix!!!

I can confirm it's also working on custom ROM on SD card!

The htc sense widgets sometimes resize themselves and look weird. The only way to fix this for me is to reboot. Anyone else get this problem or know how to fox it.

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] skymera:
Well the Samsung Galaxy S has a more powerful GPU than the iPhone 4 (SGX540 vs iPhone's SGX535). So theoretically better games can be made for Android.

But with Android being so widespread the high end games won't run on all Android phones. For example, my old HTC Hero doens't have OpenGL 2.0 support and sucks at all types of gaming.

The main problem isnt the hardware, android has the hardware to support most iOS games (excluding the first few models) but we're lacking the developer support. One day they might realise and then start android development, and then we'd have the definitively winning devices :P
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ogrenator:
Well both ID with their RAGE mobile engine have said they are using it for android development and EPIC has shown their unreal engine running on android...both on tablet and phone...its a matter of time now
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pritishd:
the short answer... no at the moment.

Despite the fact I loathe apple, one thing I have to give to them is that their graphic engine for 3d games is much more superior than any android on the market.

Just compare playing Hero of Sparta on a SGS(which I own) as opposed to the Ipod touch. You can really feel the lag on the android.

However considering the fact that Sony annouced the PSP android phone, which is scheduled for next year, I am sure it is a issue that would be addressed by next year,
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] iynfynity:
Apple has all good games, android do but not that much. I hope next year more developers will be porting games to android. I really would like to have a tap tap revenge on my vibrant.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dopeee:
I also think its quite difficult to develop games on the android due to the large range of resolutions and styles of each android phone. its a lot easier to develop a game if its based on a single type of phone with a single resolution - like the iphone is.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xoltrix2000:
You guys are right. Perhaps is a matter of time, once they some how manage the fragmentation, like creating a gaming classification for handset manufacturers to encourage developers to make apps to that set class.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] my05:
Hmmmm,

They should require a "minimum specification" phone for more advanced games (i.e >=1Ghz, >=Adreno 205/SGX535, <=512Mb ram, < 800*600 pixels screen, etc).

No one would expect a game like Crysis, etc to run on an Atom CPU? Why should it be any different on mobile phones?
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bountygiver:
iphone DO NOT HAVE Standard resolution any more

Iphone 4: Retina Display 640X960

Iphone 1/2/3: HVGA 320X480

and almost all android games can now run on QVGA/HVGA/WVGA without problems

it's just a developer thing...
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] slajerek:
This is exactly 2x size of iP3. Also the screen in iP4 from the API is handled the same as iP3 (so the resolution is treated as 320x480) but on iP4 we can have half-pixels, thus we can display a small dot in the position 100.5 that has size of 0.5 pixel. So this is exactly the same screen from developer's point of view.

The problem is money. If there was infinity blade for android people will file-share instantly. Iphone there are jailbreakers , but most of iphone population doesnt mind paying for the game.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] evilkorn:
That's a really bad blanket statement. I think you missed the recent article that said the developer of Pocket Legends made more money on Android than iOS.

RE the trailer:

The video was 98% renders from the PC and the other 3 seconds was from a phone, and it looked just as good as the best Android games.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xoltrix2000:
Um... you never heard of Installous??? It's the one and only best iPhone black market app that provides the most convenient way of downloading pirated apps, where as for Android you need to rely on warez sites, then transferring them onto your device and then browse for it to install.

So technically the ratio of piracy on iOS is much much greater than Android. I haven't met a single person where I live that doesn't have Installous.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] system60:
X2

I have a few friends with iPhones that pirate apps, and none of my friends with androids do. Also when it comes down to it iOS or Android, the majority of users aren't pirating apps.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] m4rk84:
You need to Jailbreak to use installous. You don't need root to install warez. Might affect your ratios...

Before i Jailbroke all my friends iDevices and showed them installous I didn't know anyone apart from myself that used installous. Cant really judge this just by the ppl around you.

All I can be sure of is what i know, and i know my inexperienced mind was much happier to install warez on my unrooted hero than it was to jailbreak my iPod touch.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] iynfynity:
It's really not safe to pirate apps on android. I remember one guy here reported that his phone got a virus because of installing pirated apps. That's why I don't think about pirating apps, and all the apps I need are free. :-D
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] natious:
Its most definetly possible, infinity blade only looks good because they use normal mapping and other tricks to give a "hi-res" model look, the problem was there wasnt really any android game engines that easily support those features, and its only supported on open gls 2.0.

Unity3d for android has come out afew months ago for the public and it supports all the fancey extras to get that graphically edge, same with unreal 3 engine, dungeon defenders was done in that and it looks pretty damn good, but i dont know when the android version of U3 will be released.

Im currently developing a game in unity3d and im blown away with current tests to how powerful these devices actually are.

edit:

Keep in mind infinity blade is a pretty crap game, swipe swipe swipe, repeat,
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zarpy:
Did you read the whole articule before saying thats a bad statement. The articule tells you its an exception rather than the rule.

Look its very simple to understand. Developers will go where they will make the most money. Sure iphone has jailbreakers which I stated in my 1st post. But Android has easy file-sharing access. No developer will bust his a$$ just to make $100 off a game that takes him 6 months to make.

File-sharing is easy on android just like windows mobile 6,6.1, and 6.5 . Unless developers can make money the way they do in the iphone market , they will not make the games for Android. This is not opinion but plain real life facts.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ravnicas:
alot of my friends who in fact have an android device, doesnt even know its android, and the ppl who know, doesnt know what root is, or an apk, or anything else.

so the majority wont install warez on their phone just cause of the lack of knowledge, the only thing google shoud improve, is the market, to provide a nice place for developers

[HD7 General] elbowz:
There seems to be a problem with some applications on my HD7, specifically the Zune and Xbox Live. Sometimes when I try to start them there is a short delay and then I'm dumped back to the Start menu. It happens several times a day and the only cure is to restart the phone.

Today things moved on a bit, as my bought apps fail to start and tell me I have an invalid license before uninstalling.

Can't say that I'm overly impressed with the software reliability thus far... shame really as I'm blown away by pretty much everything else about the HD7...

1 random phone crash

2 apps kicking back to start nenu

[HD7 General] elbowz:
Things went from bad to worse yesterday after I'd posted - I lost access to my purchased apps, couldn't download or re-download anything and my Windows Live ID was no longer recognised. Eventually a hard reset cleared all the problems and also seems to have put a stop to the problems I was having with applications failing to start... Fingers crossed its a permanent fix.

Was quite impressed with the responsiveness of the @WinPhoneSupport twitter account... got to give Microsoft credit for that...
[HD7 General] poopilot:
I've just had a similar experience. Phone seemed to completely hang, none of the buttons worked, so took the battery out, replaced it and booted up. All was good, but now every single 3rd party app claims to have no license.

I really don't want to have to reset the phone - it's taken me weeks to get to this point. Has anything changed in the last couple of weeks, making it fixable without losing all my data?
[HD7 General] fnordelus:
let me know how the Hard Reset goes for you. Many apps keep putting me back to the home screen. The Harvest being the worst of the bunch. This is extremely frustrating as I have had nothing but high hopes for WP7, I've been thinking about cancelling my contract with Sprint for my EVO. If this continues it'll be back to my Nexsus One.

I'm really feeling let down by Microsoft.
