PlayNow App Force Close - XPERIA X10 General

Can someone help me. I turned on the playnow in mediascape and now it always force closes because of playnow. Is there a way to turn off playnow or fix the problem in anyway? A hard reset maybe?

Even with playnow disabled in mediascape i get the forced close error message

it happened to me and I fixed it with a hard reset. There probably another way to do it but I just didnt have the time to look around and I had no info on my phone so I just did a restore to factory setting and it got fixed. Its probably because playnow is not compatible in the USA.

Need to update
there is an update out there, it's called version R16 (you may have R14).
X10 does not find this OTA, so you have to use the SE update service while connected to the computer to fix this (it worked for me)
also it only works in UK / Europe. (i am in US so i can't use it)

PlayNow
Change the timezone to something like GMT+x (i.e. GMT+2) and then start PlayNow. Then the update should be available for download. After the update is finished then you should be able to set any timezone you want and PlayNow should work without force closing.

You are my hero/heroine! I've been dealing with the playnow fc problem for a while now. Your time zone solution worked perfectly. Thank you so very much.
No more fc when messages come in!

OTA Camera update

Just received an OTA update to my legend. Claimed to be a update for the camera. Updating now......
... Firmware now say: 1.31.405.4
New market?
Seems to be a new market app as well, now missing apps are showing up
Anyone noticed any other changes/improvements besides camera/market fix?
My legend doesn't find the update, maybe because it's branded
Try to reboot your phone
Thanks for the tip, but still no update . I'll just wait for some more days
any success on branded phones until now?
This is not fixed in this release:
1)My contanc photoes which are synced with google do have a wrong resolution after syncing with google contacts!
2) HTC browser app doesn't fit google services web sites like (buzz gmail reader) correctly withing a browser window, it zooms them greatly so they become unreadable. Also an address bar covers a web page while page is loading and its very annoing!
3) Search in people app works only in english! I need it to be reachable in Russian also.
cool, thanks for the tip.
Updating on SIM free / unbranded phone now.
is this update only for UK ROMS? nothing for asia ones.
Anyone problems after update?
I have wifi problem don't find any networks more
I can activate and deactivate from settings
sorry for bad English
No problems here after the update!
iziy why don't you try a reboot!
I have tried manual install via Settings-About Phone-System Software Update!
Now I can see many apps that were not available before in Market!
no update in germany with vodafone branded legend... hope this changes soon... or do we have to wait for vodafone to release a branded version??? hope not!
Update ok in Norway on unbraded phone.
http://phandroid.com/2010/04/22/european-htc-legend-to-receive-fix-for-missing-apps/
It's just a small bug fix for apps not noticing the camera...nothing else, move along people..
Update complete swiftly on a unbranded legend in the Netherlands.
Just updated over the air.
can see all apps in market now. Not any noticable diffrences.
It did how ever fix a weird bug i had. My Stand-bye was always showing twice the amount of time of the unplugged time and showing like 80% battery use its now back to normal wonder if it also makes a difference for my actual battery usage.
Updated on unbranded Legend in Spain.
Finally, Layar is available in Maket and working correcly.

My wifi is fine: working and locating several networks. Also correctly enable and disable from wifi widget.
Market is not able to recognize and update "manually" installed apps. Need to install from Market again (it keeps user settings) to update to new versions.

hoping that I'm not stating the obvious here.. have you all gone into mediascape, press the Menu hard button, select "music home settings"; select show on-line service.. then when you come back out of MS it will be showing at the bottom of the music home screen.
Apologies if you've already tried this!
PlayNow is not on Canadian Rogers X10a either If I activate the online service under Mediascape I got some stupid Rogers' urMusic service
the only thing i get when i press the menu is get album artwork.
same here, only album art
Same here missing since I did the SEUS update after the OTA update whilst trying to see if SEUS had a later update than 020

does anyone happen to have the playnowupdater.apk? my playnow only has a very few free apps and games, but no media such as music at all, wondering if this is due to restriction on the current version.

i believe it is because there is no play now online store in your current market for xperia x10 yet. This happens to me in US. Only a few free apps and games. no others stuffs are available.

I don't get any music features in Playnow here in the U.S. but I do get games and apps. More than what I had before.

Push/toast notifications stopped working for apps

For some reason the toast/ push notifications for my apps that use it have stopped working...
Apps are:
Live soccer Scores lite
Spell It
AlphaJax
I also don't get toast notifications when an email comes in
Anyone else run into this problem or have any ideas how to fix this? I don't want to hard reset the phone...would lose way too much
Have you tried reinstalling them?
I get an error for Spell It that says:
Cannot initialize push notifications channel. You will not receive notifications related to this application
I have uninstalled and installed the game several times...same issue. It worked at some point but just stopped all of a sudden.

Only 15 apps can register for notifications, additional apps won't be able to. It's a platform limitation.
I tried to find it in the official docs, but can't. It's definitely in some stuff I was sent as a launch partner. Engadget also covered it.
Could this be your problem?
You have hit the 15 app limitation. This has happened to me several times and removing apps did not help. I had to factory reset the phone. I hope this bug (having to reset) is fixed with the NODo update. I know that 15 app limit will be there but having to reset the phone is totally BS. Samsung Focus unlocked.
Ugh. I am also suddenly experiencing this issue. I don't want to go start removing every app or doing a hard reset and spend a day re-configuring everything again from scratch.
I wish someone with the NoDo update could tell us somehow if this was fixed?
Nodo Update
I didn't experience the push notification problem before forcing NoDo update, but I am experiencing it now... Push works on emails, but not on my weather app, beezz, stocks live - all used to work before I did pre-nodo and nodo today.

HERE WeGo force closes [It works with version 2.0.11659 from 31.08.2017]

Can someone please install HERE WeGo app?
Mine is always force closing after trying to log in. Also navigation does not work, app force closes...
I've cleared data and cache and also reinstalled it many times without success.
Yea I had to uninstall the app yesterday after sending a crash report. I'll install it some other time whenever it's fixed!

Not sure about the app in question but my Maps app with navigation works perfectly.

Google Maps support voice navigation. I'm not sure if it is better or worse than other apps, but it is there.
Same here, fortunately I have bought Sygic in 2014
Oh wonder....
Here was answering on the App-Feedback after the app force closed:
"Thank you for reaching out, we are sorry to hear that you had problems with HERE Maps. We are aware of the issue you are describing and our developers are already looking into it. We will get back to you in case we have some further questions on your case."
Then we have to wait......

Hi Schickel,
I have (had) the same issue, and it finally works now, I installed a bunch of different navigation apps to try them , downloaded their maps to finally think about just fully restart my phone and HERE worked!!
I don't know what is the exact reason that made Here WeGo to fully (navigation, sign in and map downloads) work again but here is my guess to maybe help you.
Force HERE WeGo to stop
Delete cache
Delete files
Uninstall HERE WeGo
Restart the Xperia XZ Premium
Install HERE WeGo and don't start the app
Go to
Settings >Storage & memory>Advanced>Keep Cache
Select HERE WeGo
Close everything
Restart phone
Start Here WeGo
It worked for me and I'm happy to use my favorite Navigation App again, hope it will work for you also.
Cheers.

Thank you for the hint.
I'm happy that you can now use HERE.
But for me your hints are not working. After fill in my credentials for my HERE account the app force closes again.
So my hope is that HERE will fix this problem in the near future.

Sorry to read that
here are more "hints" about how i was using my phone before it worked
it was only the 4th or 5th full phone restart since i bought it ( i rarely reboot)
HERE worked again "after" installing different navigation apps, don't know if that did something (it will be weird), but i will uninstall them one by one and get back to you if HERE crashes again or not.
When HERE worked, i start the app by hazard just to test it again, it was a fresh install, wasn't signed in and no map downloaded, i went straight to navigation and it was my surprise to see that screen scrolling without crash, i tried a route and it worked, i was outside and not connected to any wifi antenna.
i then signed in without problem, and downloaded a map.
I remember also that after fresh HERE installation and before first launch, i went to app settings to manually authorize HERE to access Position and Storage.

I've tested around many options with different navi apps. And nothing helps.
Now I'm back back to Navigon. It also uses maps from HERE and it have one good feature what HERE not have: planning a route with layovers.
EDIT:
Now I've got the firmware upgrade to 45.0.A.5.1. But this also doesn't fix my problem.
I give it up for now

Hi,
Just in case, HERE released an update on the Google play store, hope it will fix your problem, at least it didn't bring any new bug on my phone.

No, it's the same. But now it doesn't start.
I've installed an older version from February 2017 2.0.11260. With this version HereWeGo works normally....
have you tried contacting the devs about the issue?

Of course... 3 weeks ago they told me, that his issue is a known bug and there are working on it. After this statement there was 2 updates, but without a working fix.
So I try out older versions and they are working normally.
Use older version help
I need to use older version 2.0.11036 newer than that it keep crashing
Did someone test new version from 2.8.2017 2.0.11608?

Still crashes on build 45.0.A.7.120.
The new update of 31 august (2.0.11608) seems to have solved the problem, it work for me !

whatsapp crashing since update this morning

I updated whatsapp through the playstore this morning and now it keeps crashing on me. Since i am on vacation in Turkey atm i really didn't want to uninstall it. I could receive notifications and calls but couldn't initiate any. Well i did bite the bullet und tried reinstalling, but now it wouldn't let me even past the initialising phase. So no notifications and no calls. Arghhh...
Anyone else has this problem? Version number is 2.19.244.
I really didn't know who i could ask atm.
Edit : nevermind. It seems that there was a conflict with whatsapp and using a theme built with hex. Was all for nothing then.
Haha yes overlays need to be updated each time you update the app itself. I'd suggest you to disable auto updates (for all apps like me or for the themed apps)
Yap. Will keep this in mind next time. Thanks for clarifying!
