[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ronj1986:
I had the same problem twice.......i unistalled my task manager both times and the issue has not returned. I beleive my 3rd party taskkiller was the blame. I had it set to kill all when screen goes out.
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rapidstar:
I had no issues with finger print scanner for the first two days. Installed startup auditor today to manage apps to increase battery life, but it messed up the finger print scanner, it wouldn't respond to my fingers. It is working fine after uninstalling that app.
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Superhuge:
Mine has now started acting up this morning. Don't think it was related to any app install as I didn't install anything over the past 36 hrs and it just started. It wasn't reading any fingerprint swipes, and then I got something on the screen later that said "Initializing Fingerprint Reader", which didn't go away or fix itself. I've rebooted and it seems to work again, but that's really annoying. I'm not looking to reboot my phone every few days to work around something like this.
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] psufan5:
That fingerprint thing is pretty slow and annoying. Moto really needs to patch this phone on the stat.
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Rred:
Well, mine has behaved throughout Day Two.

And it doesn't matter if you pick the phone up upside down, i.e. swipe your finger from the top OR bottom first. As long as the finger is dragged from the joint to the fingertip (i.e. drag your finger "down" the scanner) it doesn't matter if the phone is rightside up.

The scanner is smart enough to read the finger even upside down BUT you can't "push" your finger over it, tip first. That smart it isn't.<G>
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] eallan:
Had this happen last night, one reboot fixed it. Very annoying!
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kofruge:
Had the phone for about 5 days now and it's done this to me on 2 separate occasions. First time it happened was after I'd owned/used the phone for a day. Rebooting the phone a few times didn't fix it. Had to go in and disable/re-enable the fingerprint sensor security lock. Happened again for a second time today (5th day I've owned it). Rebooting my phone fixed it. This is really starting to worry me. If it's a software issue, I'll probably keep the phone in the hopes that a software update will fix it (if not an official update from Motorola, hopefully some of the skilled developers from XDA will fix it, or just release a custom rom with fewer bugs). But if it's a hardware issue, I'd like to know now while I'm still able to return the device. I'm assuming it's a software issue since rebooting or disabling/enabling the fingerprint scanner seems to fix it, but it's still incredibly annoying to not be able to reliably use one of the unique security features of your device.

I'm about to contact Motorola to complain about this defect and I'd recommend everyone else who's experiencing it do the same. They're much more likely to address the problem if they see it's upsetting a large portion of their customer base. Also, if this problem is enough of a nuisance that you're considering returning the phone because of it, definitely make sure to tell them.

Think they can patch the power button? and by patch I mean raise it by a 1/2mm?
[Nook Color Themes and Apps] racks11479:
Hi everyone,

**Edit: 2/24 One of our great members here have found a temporary fix for the "My Apps" issue. I can confirm that it works. Rebooted three times and "My Apps" still shows. And also can confirm that it is not auto-updating on me. I'm running CM7 v3 dual boot with patched framework.**

**Edit: 2/24 Jumped the gun. It survives reboot but I just got an auto update on this. Now "My Apps" isn't showing anything again. Going back to my other vending.apk for the time being. This apk is also FC'ing on some people. Try out the patched framework from my other thread and see if that helps. If not, just use my other vending.apk for the time being until a fix is resolved.**

Credit goes "scuccia" for the patched Vending.apk:

"You may be able to prevent Vending.apk from updating if you resign the apk with test keys then push it back to /system/app."

Thanks again.

After install go into Settings-->Applications-->Manage Applications-->All-->Market-->Uninstall Updates.

APK attached. Try it out and see if it works for you as well. If you plan on pushing it to /system/app make sure to rename the file to Vending.apk

I just installed it as I would any other app and it works for me.

Thanks,

Racks
[Nook Color Themes and Apps] bigbob580:
Trying it now will report back
[Nook Color Themes and Apps] bigbob580:
Doesn't seem to work for me on V3
[Nook Color Themes and Apps] j.a:
Not working for me on v5.
[Nook Color Themes and Apps] Bawb3:
I thought the Vending Apk was part of the Gapps framework the the market runs on?

I also do not even see a /mnt/cache/cm7 folder using root explorer.
[Nook Color Themes and Apps] racks11479:
Could it be because I'm on a dual boot setup? Market says it's version 2.3.2.

This sucks, a fluke on my part? I wish I could take a screenshot but none of the screenshot apps seems to be working on CM7, only producing black screens.
[Nook Color Themes and Apps] digitalslacker:
umm...wow...kinda worked for me...on v5

i got a force close initially, rebooted...and all my apps are there...

Just to be safe, I installed a new app and everything seemed fine

uninstalled that app, still fine....

rebooted for a second time...and it's broken again

hope that info help!

thats the first time i have seen anything in my apps so it's a step in the right direction.
[Nook Color Themes and Apps] digitalslacker:
and now i can't recreate...

reinstalled the apk...no FC...rebooted...no apps...

:/
[Nook Color Themes and Apps] racks11479:
Thanks for trying it out. This is also the first time "My Apps" has shown anything for me. Guess I got overly excited for myself and everyone. I've done the same steps you have and it still shows everything in "My Apps".

-Just a side note, I've also applied the patched framework.jar from my other thread to CM7. Maybe that has something to do with it as well.

-I've also attached a snapshot of my screen showing my apps in the OP.
[Nook Color Themes and Apps] racks11479:
Try going into Settings-->Applications-->Manage Applications-->All-->Market-->Uninstall Updates. Once I did that Market was showing my apps again.
[Nook Color Themes and Apps] digitalslacker:
yeah it seems like the market is taking an auto-update that's preventing your apps from showing up....

I just rebooted again after uninstalling the updates for a second time and it seems like my apps are available, have been for about 5 minutes

no force close yet like the first time.
[Nook Color Themes and Apps] digitalslacker:
and I rebooted again while my apps were still there....opened the market...no more my apps

Uninstall Updates is an option again in Applications.
[Nook Color Themes and Apps] racks11479:
At least it's working somewhat, and ugly workaround at the moment. Hopefully this helps out the devs in someway as we're troubleshooting it.
[Nook Color Themes and Apps] digitalslacker:
this isn't Google actively trying to prevent the market from running on a device that it's not supposed to run on, is it?

seems like a reach...
[Nook Color Themes and Apps] Narfx:
Yep, uninstalling market updates and immediately launching the market shows all my installed apps. It also shows the Apps and My apps icons from the main market page correctly, instead of having the top part cut off.

I wish we could block market updates :rolleyes:. Well, at least with this workaround we can update all the installed apps easily.
[Nook Color Themes and Apps] racks11479:
Funny you should mention that, only about a week ago I was able to goto android.market.com and I would be able to install apps straight to my Nook, now it says device not supported... sigh**
[Nook Color Themes and Apps] racks11479:
Did you use the market.apk from this thread or did you just do the "Uninstall Update" from yours?
[Nook Color Themes and Apps] Narfx:
Simply uninstall update. My /system/app market is the one from gapps-gb-20110120-signed.zip (2.2.11, I think). The problem is the auto-downloaded market update that goes to /data/app. And I don't see a way to block it :

(edit) Well, I assume it goes do /data/app. I'll adb into it and see.

(edit2) Yep, com.android.vending-1.apk in /data/app. I wonder what'll happen if I create an empty file there with that same name and 000 permissions...

(edit3) Nothing :(. It's overwritten anyway by market 2.3.3. But now 2.3.3 seems to work too for me :confused:. It shows all my apps.
[Nook Color Themes and Apps] scuccia:
You may be able to prevent Vending.apk from updating if you resign the apk with test keys then push it back to /system/app.

I believe that it won't be able to update after that. I'd try it but I don't have my nook right now.

EDIT: Try pushing this one to /system/app and see if it still auto-updates.

http://miui.info/Vending.apk
[Nook Color Themes and Apps] racks11479:
I can confirm that your Vending.apk is definitely working. Rebooted 3 times just to make sure. "My Apps" is listing all my apps again. Thanks for this, mind if I edit my original post with your file? Credit will be given of course.
[Nook Color Themes and Apps] Narfx:
Broken link? I can't download it.
[Nook Color Themes and Apps] scuccia:
Go for it. This is an ugly fix IMO but it works for now. I'm sure we'll be able to use the new market version eventually.

Can you verify that it didn't auto-update?
[Nook Color Themes and Apps] scuccia:
Still works for me...
[Nook Color Themes and Apps] digitalslacker:
so I push the Vending.apk with ADB and i'm good, right?

kinda still new at all this...
[Nook Color Themes and Apps] Narfx:
I get FCs with the uploaded vending.apk
[Nook Color Themes and Apps] scuccia:
Make sure that its named Vending.apk and also uninstall the updates in the app manager. Clearing the data wouldn't hurt either.

I don't believe this will fix the FC when you try to purchase an app.
[Nook Color Themes and Apps] dalingrin:
Market should be fixed after tonight's nightly(assuming Nemith's patch is accepted).
[Nook Color Themes and Apps] racks11479:
Great news! Thank you guys! I'll strike out my thread once the nightly is released.

Just trying my best to contribute what I can to the XDA Nook Color community
[Nook Color Themes and Apps] digitalslacker:
awesome! thanks!
[Nook Color Themes and Apps] mustafazr:
I can confirm that the Market works pretty flawlessly on nightly 7 - My Apps show up, no Market FCs, stable.
[Nook Color Themes and Apps] jedikcc:
+1 on working market.
[Nook Color Themes and Apps] digitalslacker:
love to know how you guys managed that

i went from v5 with a wipe to v7 and had all sorts of issues with FCs

tried the suggested approach of v5 to v7 with a straight install...

my market had nothing in my apps and all the widgets on my desktop failed to load after every reboot.

i think i'm gonna sit tight until the next nightly.
[Nook Color Themes and Apps] Hilbe:
I upgraded build 5 to build 7 with no issues. Market working just fine in build 7.
[Nook Color Themes and Apps] Calla969:
I also updated from v5 to v7 with no wipe. I had to use TI backup to wipe data in the market before my apps would show up, but now it works perfectly! I have had no issues with FCs, I'm listening to Pandora right now, WiFi hooked right up, Iheartradio never connects, but I think that's because it's a horrible app. So far, everything seems great.
[Nook Color Themes and Apps] digitalslacker:
ok the 4th time seems to be the charm...at least for me...i'm lucky like that

restored v5...re-downloaded v7.zip...wiped just cache...installed v7.zip, button bind script, OC script

rebooted and things look OK

wifi blows up, thats fine. no youtube...but i got pandora, maps, my apps

google reader is all wonky but that's from the pixel changes right?

good stuff, maybe i just had a bad download...
[Fascinate General] papstar:
I rarely use task killers as Android does a great job managing resources. The only thing i use is the stock samsung task manager. That being said, is therr any way to get thia on AOSP? I find it useful for closing apps such as the browser, without being shown all the other running processes.

Thanks in advance.
[Fascinate General] chopper the dog:
Considering that it is TouchWiz based. No.

good day.
[Fascinate General] papstar:
Simple enough. Thanks chopper.
[Samsung Mesmerize] den0ts:
Does anyone know the exact differences between the samsung fascinate, mesmerize, and showcase? I think the hardware is identical, but what is different software wise? I would like to get into building/porting roms for the showcase and I was hoping someone that has already ported some fascinate roms to the mesmerize and showcase could list the differences here. Any info is greatly appreciated.
[Samsung Mesmerize] sageDieu:
It's mainly just the carrier, and slight differences in the frameworks that make it so you can't simply flash stuff from the fascinate onto the mesmerize or vice versa.
[Atrix 4G Themes and Apps] TurnipTruck:
I replaced my iPhone3G with an Atrix.

I am having trouble finding a good ap for access to custom audio stream URLs. The streams that I would like to connect to are all mp3, some require authentication.

Can anyone suggest an ap?

Thank you.
[Atrix 4G Themes and Apps] Immix:
Try an app called "Astro Player Nova". Select Radio from the menu and enter your custom audio stream URL. There is also an app called "just playlists" in the market. You can create a pls or m3u file with your url and use Just Playlists to listen to these urls.
[Atrix 4G Themes and Apps] TurnipTruck:
Thanks for the tip. I will give it a try. A good streaming ap is the only thing I miss about my old iPhone.
[Atrix 4G Themes and Apps] TurnipTruck:
Is it possible that Atrix has an issue with streaming audio? I haven't found any apps that will work at all, including the two you mentioned.

Thanks
[Atrix 4G Themes and Apps] Immix:
Well I am sure Atrix can stream audio becuase my audiogalaxy app works. Try xiialive. It can also stream custom urls
[Atrix 4G Themes and Apps] TurnipTruck:
I tried xiialive as well as AOnlineRadio. When trying to connect to mp3 streams, both aps (and many others) fail and report "Null"

Streams are known good as I can play them on an iPhone with fStream and many others.
[Atrix 4G Themes and Apps] SomeGut:
I use "doggcatcher" for all of my podcasts, urls and rss feeds. I went through the same transition when I went from a 3gs to a Captivate last year. Works on my Atrix as well

[Atrix 4G General] neer2005:
So Moto is going to unlock the bootloader?
[Atrix 4G General] PixoNova:
We'll see what they do. The Xoom being unlocked gives me hope.
[Atrix 4G General] TareX:
The Xoom was unlocked because it's a Google Experience tablet. The Atrix, on the other hand, comes with Motoblur widgets, code, and what not... I guess Motorola doesn't want anyone to rip it away on to other devices...
[Atrix 4G General] agentdr8:
Having a locked bootloader does nothing to prevent people from ripping Blur from the Atrix...not that I can imagine anyone would intentionally want to put it on another device...

Too bad too, I like maxivista.

Surprised their devs are so naive as to say they couldn't see the market for and android version. Guess they don't actually watch or read the news much.

(BTW, I mean the PC version, I have never drunk the apple/itunes koolaid)
[G Tablet Themes and Apps] itsallsubliminal:
Lol. I'll second that. Aren't we the "hackers" always looking to do something cool with our open source gadgets? They are as naive as it gets.

I was just thinking of something like this aswell. Is it possible to re-engineer the hdmi-out to take hdmi-in? I'd love to plug my cable box into my tab while i play xbox on the TV :) (or vice versa) I know there has been no positive progress on hdmi-in with HTC's mini-HDMI implementation. Maybe viewsonic (being a monitor company) has a better possibility? Any dev's feel like taking a crack at it?
[G Tablet Themes and Apps] blanksuspect:
iDisplay is available in the android market. works just like the iOS version.
[G Tablet Themes and Apps] r2d2tek:
Anyone tried iDisplay on the gtab?

I thought I'd buy it but there are only two bad reviews on their webpage and eleswhere I've read that they do no give refunds. There is no trial version on their site, but their terms of service says that customers are expected to run trial versions before they buy . . .

I sent them a kind message asking them if they truly expect anyone to give them money for basically nothing. But I tried to be nice, and to encourage them to post a trial so I could buy and give them a positive review. Five bucks ain't much, but darned if I'll give it away to shmucks . . .

Anyway, if the app works well, they deserve our support.

My gtab is running vegan5 and I use the HP mini wireless keyboard with both of the office suites available. The gtab is taking place of my laptop and doing a great job of it. To be able to also use it to augment the laptop by giving me more screen real estate would be icing on the cake.

Thanks for posting this thread. I never would have thought if it.
[G Tablet Themes and Apps] matthai5:
iDisplay working

I gave it a try and am happy to let you know it is working well. It is a bit laggy and slowed down my computer a bit but does work for an extra screen.
[G Tablet Themes and Apps] r2d2tek:
Thanks for the feedback. I'll purchase the app. I loaded the XP application and it appears that a virtual server is created which could be the reason for the slowdown.

It would be nice if some of these application developers provided just a wee bit of info that could be used to determine if an app is appropriate or not. I think that the apple market has set a kind of precedent for wishy-washy frivolity that is going to carry over into the android market unless google demands a higher degree of responsibility. The time is now, before the market matures as android tabs and notebooks take over most of our computing tasks, as I think they will.

The apps written for the old Palm devices were held to a much higher standard than a lot of iPhone apps I've seen. But then the Palm devices were oriented towards business productivity and not so much as toy/entertainment oriented as iPhones and iPads. I spent part of the day with my hands on the Xoom tab, and talking to several Motorola reps and Verizon sales people. I must have sounded like an evangalist for the android OS.

If google is listening I'd like to tell them to take their work seriously right now because they could be taking over the entire personal computing market in the near future. Computing, regardless of platform, is not all about entertainment. We in engineering and science have needs that also require more versatile hardware and software. The tegra3 is just around the corner . . . then what? How will all those extra processing cores be made truly useful? I want an android powered tricorder.

My evangelical proclivities are simply gushing forth . . . :o (in all the wrong places)

Thanks again to the OP for initiating this thread.
[G Tablet Themes and Apps] jpmi23:
I tried iDisplay today. I like it! It is a bit laggy, but works great other than that!

[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] n3x1s:
I am having a weird problem with my phone. It will not reboot properly. When I select reboot, it will shutdown fine, but hang at the 'HTC EVO 4G' splash screen. The only way to fix it is to pull the battery, boot into Recovery and wipe cache/dalvik-cache. After that, it'll reboot (although it sometimes takes several minutes before progressing past the splash screen to the bootanimation screen - then its the normal wait for cache to be rebuilt) and everything is fine until I reboot it again. This has been an issue with several ROMs I've tried: Calkulin 1.7.7, Calk 1.8, EVO ZONE (based on Calk's 1.7.7 and 1.8). I've also tried several kernels as well: Netarchy 4.3.2 cfs (havs, nohavs, more, less, noUV), Ziggy471.

Has anyone ran into this issue?

HTC EVO 4G

Hardware 002

Amon-RA 2.3 recovery

16 GB Class 6 (1GB EXT3 partition)

As far as I know, none of these ROMs has apps2sd or dalvik-cache2sd enabled by default (I may be wrong about the cache2sd, not sure).

[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sultan.of.swing:
As long as the Rom's are 3.70 based or AOSP there should be no issues then.

Maybe an app writing to dalvik causing issues.
