To start this off, I want to say that this is an awesome community full of great people willing to help others. It takes this sort of open source sharing to come together for the greater good. That is why I want to make a thread to document my experiences so that it may help others and myself.
As of yesterday, I started using froyo 2.2.2 by joshkoss. This update is probably the best of all of them and I like it much better than 2.2.1, which is what I previously had installed. Having said that, there are still some problems, which I almost find enjoyable to discover how to fix.
Throughout most of my updates, my GPS has been slow to connect. Finally on 2.2.2 it is impossible to establish a connection and everytime I turn on GPS it always asks me to 'Accept' or 'Cancel' the agreement. I've never had this happen before. Anyone know what to do about that?
Beyond this issue, I wanted to try this fix by ciscogee. I have gotten all the way to the point on ADB tools that in my cmd prompt I can type 'adb devices' to show me my devices serial number. For me, it ends there. As soon as I can figure out how to do this fix step by step for a beginner I will type it out in this thread. I am using Android SDK.
Another problem with this 2.2.2 update is that my banking app no longer works and it force closes right after start up. Then when I try to send a report, that also force closes. It worked on 2.2.1 so Im sure it has something to do with it.
So as of right now this is where I'm at. I hope I can help some people out with their Continuum. I just dont have the detailed knowledge of the inner workings to really bring something to the table, but I hope to at least help someone else out and learn something in the process.
My Wells Fargo app quit working when I switched over to EC07 and I haven't been able to pinpoint what the problem is. I posted my problems in another thread, but basically I had several apps that were FCing when I tried to use them. I did logcat on them, and based on the errors I got from there, I think is has something to do with the apps trying to access data either over 3G or wifi.
Never got any further than that though.
That's weird. Did you have problems reporting the failure? Ill have to try out that log app and see what I can find out. Hopefully ill have something later today.
Anyone else have problems with a banking app? Mine is comerica bank.

I tried the hacked browser and it didn't change anything on my phone. Both the stock browser and TB's hacked one FC as soon I tried load a page.
One thing I did notice though, was that the browser would let me surf the web just fine. It was when I tried to log into any account; Wells Fargo, Google, etc.,that it would FC. Don't know if that means anything or not. Wonder if it is the same reason some banking apps aren't working. Could it have something to do with using secure connections?
Just a thought.

Ok, after reading some old posts, I think I may have found a connection with the FC issues and certain apps. It seems that there were alot less FC problems when using the EC03 baseband vs. the EC06 baseband.
Does anyone know what the differences are between the two?
I've said it before, but; I don't know much about programming, language, kernals, etc. but I can see patterns. And what I have seen is that most of the apps with FC problems are trying to access network data, and alot of those seem to be secure connections (such as banking apps). Someone said before that it is hard to know what the real problem is because everyone uses different apps, but I have seen the same apps listed as causing problems with several different users here over and over again. So that makes me think that there is an underlying problem causing these issues.
Like I said, I don't know much, but this seems like the problem to me, and if these clues make something, somewhere, inside someone's brain click that actually does know something about this, then maybe I helped a little bit.

If that's the case, it sounds like a problem with ssl. I wonder if a fascinate baseband would fix it. Trailblazer proved that a fascinate baseband would work on our phones a few months ago

Hey, so I can't seem to find an answer yet so I figured I'd just start a thread a pose the question.....
Since I've gotten my Epic I haven't been able to use the phones native myspace log in. It always tell me login failed try later. I tried it on stock and a number of custom roms and it all says the same thing. If I use the actual MySpace app everything connects just fine, I would just like to have that feature functioning too. Not a dealbreaker by any means, just a little annoying thats all.
If anyone can give me some advice as to potential fixes or if that's just something that hasn't worked at all, it would be appreciated.
Wow people, no responses? Am I the only one that has this problem or something?
Who even goes on myspace anymore? Lol

Sent from my HERO200 using XDA App
still searching for an answer.....
Okay, so, while this is by no means a deal breaker nor am I going to have a fit if it doesn't work, giving me answers like "why does it matter myspace is dead" isn't exactly the most constructive way to address my situation. Like my momma used to say, if you don't have something good to say....you know the rest.
Anyway, I'm still actively looking for a solution to this. I called up Sprint (should've known better but I did anyway) and that got me no where. I fired off a message to MySpace support today so I guess they have up to 48 hours to respond according to their little blurb after you send a message.
If anyone has any CONSTRUCTIVE tips, I would greatly appreciate any feedback. I would like to have all the features on my phone working (I mean hell, why not?), and just cuz MySpace is dead for some, doesn't mean it's not still a viable network for others.
PS: That whole proxy settings thing someone suggested earlier....never found anything about that, don't know if that was a smoke screen or not but if not can you elaborate and possibly show me where you got that idea from?
I've been up late tonight, and just so happened to stumble across this article over at AndroidPolice. Figured it might interest some people here since it includes our phone.
http://www.androidpolice.com/2011/1...e-numbers-gps-sms-emails-addresses-much-more/
Here's the thing, though. They recommend uninstalling the offending apk immediately, which I tried.....Unfortunately that gives me repeated force closes over and over and over while the system tries to run it, to the point where I had to restore to a backup. So what do we do about this?
UPDATE: You can remove HTCloggers.apk...all you have to do is restart afterwards.

Yes because so many users run Sense.
No because I run AOSP.

Many devs remove these programs and such to remove ciq. I can't find the thread right now, but it reads just about everything. It's so deeply imbedded into the framework.
It reads every button you press on your keyboard.
Every text you send and receive.
Every app you use and download.
The pages you browse on using the internet browser.
It even goes as far to read any spot on your screen that you touch.
This is spyware to the extreme. Sprint and HTC will say its not "spyware" and say its used only for marketing to determine how phones are being used to further develop for the current trends in smartphones. It's very possible they could steal personal info with this. Is it currently happening? Uhh...probably not, but there will still be a lot of paranoia about it.

This is exactly why I'm AOSP. (that and sub-100MB ROM files)
I read the article too- (I have an Androidpolice/Android Central) feed in my Pulse reader....

I'm not amused by HTC/Sprint's collusion... leaving our bottoms out there in the cold for anyone to do whatever with.....
I bet even money my phones been cloned... sometimes I can't use it for calls .. recently -and I'd not had a single missed call or problem in a year.
I'm not a happy camper.. worried about my credit card #'s and really really am annoyed by HTC sliming us this way...

it appears to me that this file has already been removed from MikFroyo. At least, I can't find it...
BTW, you can just remove it using TIbackup, but you'll have to restart to get rid of the repeated force closes. Simple fix, and I've done the same for CarrierIQ as well.
It was removed from sprint lovers rom as well... I couldnt find it at least
I removed HtcLoggers.apk from mine and after rebooting (force close loop) it seems to be working fine. However, is there an old log file still on the phone that can be read by some Spyware app that needs to be removed or does all this data need to come from the logger app itself? If there still is a log, I'm sure it has enough info to still steal my ESN and other stuff.
Wow! Glad I run custom ROMS
In this evo thread someone also noticed that turning sound off on nav fixes the fc's (also mentioned in an epic thread).

It uses the stock tts so you may need to copy that back in. Push to system/app. Pull it out of the deodexed stock rom.

Technically, yes since it is missing the necessary support file for the voice. I am surprised that it doesn't have an error message about "tts not installed" or something though. And is it wide spread? This is the first I am hearing about it..unlike the 6 threads on su binaries. I am guessing you are correct and it is ROM specific. Flash the full stock rom deodex and see if that fixes it for you.

Just making sure I understand what fc you're referring to specifically; are you talking about the 'invisible' fc that happens associated with gps where it basically stops working in Google Nav? Or is this a different one? The reason I ask is, if its the one I'm thinking of, it happens in every pre-official stock Gingerbread ROM release I've tried, but doesn't on EC05, and if this is the same thing you're referencing, I'd be pretty confident in saying that a *lack* of TTS doesn't cause it anyway. If its something different you're referencing then...my bad
Well that's what I'm sorta trying to narrow down, I always used TeleNAV on GB. But in Simply AOSP v4 I do see an FC about 1min into NAV, but once muted it dosnt happen. I wonder if someone has/could try the mute trick on GB to see if that fixes "the hidden FC".
I am on Hurricane and use SVOX British Lady and don't get any FC or vibration, EH17 ROM and modem.
Sent from my SPH-D700 using XDA App
Interesting....I wasn't even aware of SVOX until this thread. I don't know when I'll have cause to go somewhere long enough to try it (I live about 3 miles from where I work), but I downloaded SVOX plus the 'Victoria' UK voice you mentioned and will try it (on EG22 here) next time I'm going anywhere of more significant length. If switching off of Pico fixes this issue I'll be thrilled, I haven't been able to consistently rely on Google Nav through Maps since EC05.
Yeah, I never used Google Nav because I hated Mrs. Roboto but with the British chick it is more tolerable.
Sent from my SPH-D700 using XDA App
hmm
i used to turn off the volume and the ff would go away in the past i thought everyone would do that. but the g maps is buggy on the epic. sometimes the volume would cut out on its own and freeze. or freeze for some other reasons. sorry i have used so many different roms and i used to use the gps daily when i rode the bike alot. but i havent used it in awhile for the epic. i moved to the nexus
Edit::: Thanks Kenny, it looks like it was tts.

Sounds good. BTW, I called Sprint just to double check to see if they show any calls placed through my phone number or anything. The lady on the phone said it's possible but if someone did it wont post to my account for a few days, especially if they made any international calls.
I didn't figure there was anything scripted into the rom itself to do this, it's possible that it could be something rogue. It's also possible that someone with the skillz was just driving by and grabed my info from a wifi signal and texted me just to F with me.

Wow that is odd as hell. I've been running and testing uke since before it was released and I've never had that pop up on me. Its def not something in the rom and I hope you guys find the app doing it. Good luck.

I think this is what's making me think it's just a fluke or a troll... I've been running these apps for a while now and haven't ever had a problem with them. I didn't even expect a comment from One_Love_420 either. VICODAN is the one that recommended the ROM to me so I wasn't going to just point the finger to the ROM anyways. I did have my Wifi running all night long (had the advanced setting setup to not put my wifi to sleep when my phone goes off). The only thing I haven't done yet is check to see what my logs say on my Linksys router (maybe he tapped my phone for internet).
I think it's just a fluke (or at least I hope... this could be an exspensive bill if this person was able to make calls from my phone or anything like that).

yeah its def an oddity. have you ran miui on it anytime recently and maybe there was residual mess from it and someone was still able to mess with you? or hell, coulda been someone texting the wrong person, i would think its just a fluke if youve been using the same apps for x amount of time and havent had this happen before.
One thing does come to mind when looking at your app list. Go sms pro is a china developed app and has a ton of permissions that i would never approve of, one being the ability to make calls. Check its permissons list on the market. A little much for an app imho.

I haven't tried Miui yet. I started with CM7 and wanted to get into somthing light (meaning less sprint stuff and being able to uninstall maps and stuff since I only use them once in a great while). I know I got a lot of GO stuff on it but I've just been tinkering with it since the kernal is running a bit more then just the 800 mhz on the cpu. Wanted to "test" out what this thing is capable of.
The bling is nice, the personalization of colors and stuff is cool and all... But I use this for business a lot and kinda like a rock solid machine that's as efficient as possible. I'm looking into other options of roms that are just plane Jane Android next. U.K.E. has been running nicely even with all the bling (minus go sms now I guess). Depending on how put off I am about no bling I might just go back to using U.K.E.

You should always check permissions of apps even from the market..Google doesn't keep track of apps published on the market and if they are malicious or not. It's up to users to report if something funky is happening. That's why I un-installed GoSms a long time ago when they first added all of those strange permissions to the updated versions. It was even causing people to have issues with phone calls. Read through market comments and check permissions Always with any app even if it's just a update to a new version. The devs of GoSms are very un-responsive also when people ask them about the permissions and report issues. If you really want to get down to the bottom of something also run a logcat and see what the app is doing.

Wow very random if i must say. I have yet seen or heard of this. Im wondering if you have a rogue app messing with you two. Lets see if we can figure this out, what apps do the both of you have the same of? Ive yet to see this message to me or hear of it from others. And i can tell you that there is nothing written into this rom to send you that message. This is why im thinking its a rogue app. If we could get a list of the apps you both have that received this random message.

I can attest that UKE is a SOLID rom and is very secure.

Because it's based on cm7?
Solid indeed. Outside of that odd text I haven't had any other issues. I haven't tried to track down who's phone number that is Incas it's a friend just messing with me and I haven't had any charges posted to my account so... Might have just been someone messing with me.

It's definately not a rom related issue. Download Addons Detector from the market. This will help you to track down suspicious apps intalled on your device.
So I got rid of all of the GO products and I'm just running the AWD stuff that came with the rom. Only thing I realy miss is the SMS stuff. I looked at handsent and their permissions are the same (for the most part) as go sms.
Any thoughts on an sms program? I'm looking for character count and more info like sent date/time displayed without going into message details.

My market just changed to the play store. It FCs before I can accept the terms.
I'm on GalaxyTask 14. In fact I just went to GT14 so I tried wiping clean and I still get the FC on the store. Anyone else?
Same here ... I'm sure Task (on his thread) will tell us what to do once his Market also upgrades to Play...
glad to hear I'm not alone - sorry but misery loves company.
I didn't want to start off bothering Task in case it wasn't ROM related
Task 14 here and I get the same. Sucks because I need to redownload Touchdown tonight for a trip tomorrow afternoon. Hope there's a fix before then or else I'll have to find my corporate Palm Pre (gasp).
My market...eh, Play Store forceclosed and the icon is gone. Task 14 as well.

I had the same error with the fc... This fixed it for me. I went to settings> applications> manager applications> all. Found the new google play app & wiped everything I could, such as clear cache, clear data, then did a force stop, and finally an uninstall. After this I clicked my normal app store icon it told me it was being changed to google play again, so I figured I was in for more fcs. but went ahead and agreed. Everything was fine after no more fcs.
I noticed another file updated itself too, but can't remember the name it was some market file though.
Try this and see if it works for you or if I just got lucky.
In double checking on my memory of what I did so I could be precise here I noticed the google play application is now gone. but the market is updated and no fcs.
EDIT: Just noticed it may have only been called the play store app that I uninstalled. not google play app.

Do you actually have an icon for it that works?
Edit: nevermind... I'm sure you do. While the forum was in maintenance I found a way to keep the new google play store and still not have the fc's
So although if you want a quick fix you can uninstall as I instructed before, or just wait until I get up a quick guide to keep the play store without the fc's.
I'm hoping someone will beat me to it though.
Edit 2: Sometimes I make more work for myself by posting quick fixes before thoroughly making sure it's the best fix and this is one of them if you want to keep the google play store and still stop the fc's.
Final Edit: If you are having issues with the play store and haven't uninstalled it yet you should just have to force close it, clear data and run it again and it should start without the FC's.
If you have uninstalled it like I suggested in the previous post and want it back or if you don't have it and want it quicker this quote I swiped from somewhere while googling should help... "If you want to speed up the update process, the usual trick involving force-closing Market, clearing data, uninstalling updates and then loading up the app again seems to work." then wait for the update. It updated so fast for me that I had a hard time testing this fix and had to disable my wifi to confirm uninstallation although YMMV especially if you're trying to get it for the first time. You may want to make sure your device is on the list of supported devices at http://support.google.com/googleplay/bin/answer.py?hl=en&answer=190860 before trying this a waiting for something that may never come.
This may cause the FC's that started me on this issue to happen again and you'll need to force close it, clear the data and run it again, as stated above in this final edit.
I've already checked this at least twice, but just in case, I'm going to make sure everything works as I say so stay tuned for a few minutes until I post a final edit 2 just in case I'm missing anything.
Final Edit 2: Seems everything works as stated. I couldn't even mess it completely up when I tried.
I think the name is stupid as [email protected], but it's the new app store so what can we do? Seemed like it is really fast and they are having some great sales on apps and a little music, so maybe it's worth putting up with the stupid new name.
If I've caused you needless hassle feel free to call me names and cuss at me. I should have thought of the short way to fix the FC's before sugesting the uninstall. My bad.
Let me know if you have any issues still and I'll help where I can.
If you made it this far in the post congratulations, and thanks.

Would have been really simple had I just said go into settings, applications, manage applications and clear data for the play store. Which fixes the fc's.
Thanks for the thanks though

This must be a HC 3.2 only issue.. I had the problem on Task 14 and it was easily fixed but flashed back to AOKP b27 last night and the market updated with no issues at all...
Probably... Everyone I've noticed I said they were Task 14 except one who was still on Task 10 or something and asked task for help. I'm sure you know how that reply went.
"If you want to speed up the update process, the usual trick involving force-closing Market, clearing data, uninstalling updates and then loading up the app again seems to work." then wait for the update. This should only take a minute or two if you had it to begin with and you can trust it's official this way.

If like me you deleted it just download it from:
http://hotfile.com/dl/149080043/c8d34ef/com.android.vending.apk.html
And run it from file explorer

I wouldn't run any app downloaded from hotfile, not knowing where it ultimately came from. Too much of a chance it's been modded to steal who knows what. Especially a market app :what:

Good to know, I have yet to encounter any problems with hotfile but you never know. Your trick didn't work for me it would not update so I went the other way.
EDIT: info came from http://androidadvices.com/download-google-play-store-v346-tutorial/
actually this must be because i updated it on my galaxy nexus phone first - to update that i had to clear data on the market and then launch market and after i accepted the terms it updated itself. I then applied the same to my tab so did not see the issues others have experienced
