I can't do a few things ever since I downloaded the latest update.
Sprint Tv is bricked.
I open it up and get this error: "Resource Fetch Failed"
If I try to press back a few boxes appear underneath.
Basically, it wont work.
Also my hotspot wont work... well, it never worked.
I try to update profiles and all that good stuff and no go.

My message apps (native Message and Handcent app) keep on reappearing, even when I kill them.
I've used the Settings > Applications > Running services, also Advanced Task Killer (by ReChild) and Task Manager (by Futon Redemption), but after a few minutes they'll reappear again.
This has only happened after I updated my Hero from 1.5 to 2.1. (I'm on Orange).
This seems to be a reoccurring theme of apps not being killed off after updating to 2.1. Others have reported Amazon MP3 and Skype apps not being killed off and even not uninstalling.
My battery life seems to be draining away now since the 2.1 update, and I'm thinking this may be the message-app-not-sleeping problem, hence my attempts at killing off the native message app.
Does anyone have any ideas to kill these apps off?
I updated and now i cannot recieve calls or send texts...will not hard reset to 1.6 now...T-mobile has no clue how to fix it..

View 4 Replies View RelatedEver since I have downloaded and installed the latest update I have been seeing horrible battery life.
With airplane mode on I have been experiencing 2-3% decrease in battery per hour with NO USE!
This is completely rediculous and unacceptable. Do they even test these updates before they push them out to eveyone?
I have juice defender and an autokill app. I was getting 1 1/2 days before the update. I am lucky to make it to bed now before my battery is dead. I have alost noticed a lot more running services popping up then before and I have no idea what the issue is
I am getting really sick and tired of this phone really fast... If they don't have these problems fixed by the 30th. Its going right back to the sprint store and I am going back to the iphone.
I have an app widget that uses a Service to handle updates (as per the SDK sample). If a task killer kills the service, the widget obviously stops updating. Is there any way I can notify the widget that the service has been killed so it can attempt to restart it?
View 3 Replies View RelatedYesterday I clicked the update button on my droid, and now my droid is dead, all that appears is the motorola logo, even after pulling the battery. Of course technical support at Verizon has no clue what is wrong. The phone will not even turn off unless i take the battery out, the motorola logo shows until the phone goes dead.
As this is my second droid, I don't know that I want a 3rd one. My opinion is that the droid would be a neat smartphone-- if it worked. I doubt that anyone could ever consider using the droid as a business phone, since it randomly quits working. I've had many cell phones and blackberries and never had to return any of them.
I have the best buy protection plan, but not sure that entitles me to a new or different phone, since my droid is about 3 months old.
Is anyone else having problems with the advanced task killer since 2.2 update? Battery is running down fast because task killer no longer works.
View 36 Replies View RelatedI have seen a few firmware versions of FROYO banded around for the Desire on this Forum. Having updated my O2 Desire yesterday and playing around with it, I was curious how the O2 firmware compares with the rest. My software details are as follows: Android version 2.2. Baseband version 32.44.00.32U_5.09.05.30_2 Kernel version 2.6.32.15-gd96f2c0 htc-kernel@and18-2 #1 Build number 2.14.207.1 CL233777 release-keys Software number 2.14.207.1 Browser version Webkit 3.1. I may be optimistic/delusional but I have discovered some features in the O2 Froyo release from yesterday that were showcased the other day at the HTC Desire HD and HTC Desire Z launch event as being part of the all new HTC Sense.

Is there gonna be new features with this update like better predictive txting, better word selection, swiping through photos, etc.. or is it just gonna fix the "known issues" I really hope so, just because it will make this phone THAT much better! what do you guys think?
Xperia X10 was rocking with the earlier android 1.6 version. Now with the android 2.1 update its even more rocking.WOW am loving it. Live Wallpapers is just mindblowing. The phone is still more improved with the update. Additional homescreens and the layout of the homescreen is changed and its even more attractive. New menu applications have been added. And messaging delivery reports pattern has changed. Calling interface has been given a change. These are just some of the changes I have mentioned. There are still lots of stuff which have changed. I thank sony ericsson for bringing out such a great phone. SE team and Xperia X10 Rocks.

I call sprint and dude tells me i was one of the lucky ones that got my hotspot for free? for the first month but now its gonna be 29.95 if i wanna use the hotspot? hello thats why i bought the fn thing? He said he would give me one more month for no charge but thats his final offer! I decline and ask him to give me the president so he can tell me why sprint is sticking it 2 me once again! Does the 2.2 software allow them to turn the hotspot one and off again at will? Until I figure this all out im leaving my other evo on 2.1.
View 19 Replies View RelatedI have a service in my app the creates an alarm and runs a check ever X minutes. I am new to android and I was wondering is there a way to prevent another app such as ATK (advanced task killer) from kill my service/alarms? It seems that if I normally close the app my alarms still work but when I go to ATK and stop the app the service dies as well. Maybe thats the point, but this service is rather important and most users would want it to run even if the app itself is no longer running. I assume that if the system kills it for whatever reason then their is nothing you can do about it. Could someone please inform me on this issue and a possible solution to do what I need?
View 3 Replies View RelatedIt may be an android thing or an Evo thing. But I tried the fm radio app and since I wasn't getting any reception while wearing headphones, I decided to kill it, even though atk said it was killed the fm radio app still stayed on. Had to power down.
View 3 Replies View RelatedI'm using Tasker to kill some apps. One of the apps has a persistent notification icon and it refuses to be killed (even with root). The notification icon is gone for a second but will always come right back. Using street I tried to find out if there was a watchdog process keeping the app alive, but I found none. Also it is not hooked to any events according to Auto-run manager. A force close under "app management" always works.
View 2 Replies View RelatedI noticed today that Froyo re-enabled "auto sign in" in Gtalk. I unchecked it, problem solved. If you're getting bad battery life after the update, make sure Gtalk is NOT auto signing you in. That's one of the biggest battery hogs. Just figured I'd post this to let everyone know a potential problem.
View 42 Replies View RelatedI have a service running in the background. It starts on device boot. Also, I have one activity (that appears in the task launcher) in which I have provided buttons to start and stop the service.
Now, I install the application on the phone and I start the service using this activity (and not on-device boot). As expected the service starts and starts doing its designated task. I no-longer need the activity. So it goes out of sight and may not be required for a long time now.
My question is, now, if the android platform kills this activity, will it kill my service too ? (This is because I see that after few hours, my service is not running anymore.). If this is true, then will the service continue running longer if the service was started on device boot.
I'm having a problem with unlocking my phone. Some of my friends tried to unlock the pattern but after 20 failures the phone blocked. Now I have to submit my google login so I can get back on it. The problem with that was that I was on vacation abroad so my 3G and wifi were both turned off. I've read about other problems like this and came to a point where I was trying to turn on my wifi with adb. I found that I could use the command "svc wifi enable" and I tried this several times, every time with the same result: I think the command starts but then gets killed before it finishes.
View 9 Replies View RelatedOk well basically I'm having a problem on my Galaxy S II in which when I exit all apps using the task manager, it kills my lockscreen app, WidgetLocker.
Is there a way that I can have WidgetLocker relaunch after it is killed? Or should I just not bother killing all the apps?
I've got a problem with a flood of touch events destroying my game's framerate while there is a touch active. Basically onTouchEvent is called (with getAction = ACTION_MOVE, x = 0 and y = 0) about a hundred times a second for as long as the finger is touching the screen. I've tried returning from onTouchEvent straight away, and even removing its implementation at all, but it doesn't help - the app slows to a crawl as soon as a finger is down. I asked on the IRC channel and Romain Guy advised me that they're aware of the problem but didn't have time to fix it for Cupcake, so I'm not expecting a full solution!

View 1 Replies View RelatedI have an application with many forms implemented as separate activities. The form variables are dynamically built based on a database, and there are a ton of variables in the C++ side of the application (accessed via JNI). I don't see how saving out all of this data to persistent storage each time the onPause() or the onSaveInstanceState() of one of these many activities goes into the background is a smart use of processor time. And I don't see how even if I save the local variables for each activity during that time I'd be able to restore a single activity within the context of all the others.
I have set up a service that auto saves the files when I detect that the app has gone into the background. (I set a time stamp when onPause() is called in any activity and then clear the time stamp when onResume() is called on any other activity. If the time elapsed is more than a few seconds, I know I'm not the top activity any longer and the service saves the files).
What I'd like to do is continue on as normal unless the OS kills one of my activities. Since we don't always get notified of this, I thought it would be nice if there were a way to tell the OS that I'd rather you kill the whole app than just one activity.
I originally rooted so I could remove the verizon bloat / crap. Then I realized I couldn't get OTA updates (and I'm not the type that wants to keep manually updating the ROM on my phone). So I did the "back to stock" flash that unroots the phone and grabbed the OTA update. Since then I've been using Launcher Pro just to hide the programs I don't like. Now, somewhere in this process, the touchwiz homescreen got killed. If I kill Launcher Pro, all I'm left with is a black screen with nothing on it. No TwLauncher dock, nothing. When the phone boots up initially, I'll have that black screen, then launcher pro and my wallpaper will appear over it as well. Any ideas how this happened? And could this hurt the operation of my phone?
View 1 Replies View RelatedOn Froyo, we found that some new "Task Manager" apps are now using the ActivityManager.killBackgroundProcesses() to kill apps. When this happens, Intent.ACTION_PACKAGE_RESTARTED is no longer fired. How can I find out that my application has been killed? I tried to start a service, and I do see this message printed in logcat:
W/ActivityManager( 2426): Scheduling restart of crashed service com.example.android.apis/.app.RemoteService in 20000ms
However, the service is never restarted as advertised, if the app is killed using the killBackgroundProcesses API. (If I go into adb shell and kill the service process, the service will indeed be restarted ...) This looks like a bug anyway, because the notification created by the app is no longer removed like in eclair (the StatusBarService, and a bunch of other system services, depend on the Intent.ACTION_PACKAGE_RESTARTED broadcast).
As is mentioned above,What i'm trying is to protect a sub- thread,and keep it going on as long as the App that starts it is still alive.In other words,If the system need more resources,Let it kill both the App main thread and the sub-thread started from it,Instead of just kill the sub-thread.Is there any way i can do this ?? And another question here,The android system seems to be "rude",As it killed my thread without telling me,even in the logs,Is this the case?
View 6 Replies View RelatedI can see on OMAP zoom2 platform, the moment screen timeout happens my application is getting terminated. I have a Google map based LBS application which is running on Zoom. I have implemented the interfaces given in gps.h to libhardware_legacy/gps.cpp .
GPS application talks to android framework and Framework talks to libhardware to get the GPS info. Now I can see that the moment screen timeout happens and the display goes off, my application killed. Actually from the framework the stop interface (hgps_stop() ) gets called on screen timeout.
I am wondring why this is happening, as I am not sending any stop request form my GPS application to the libhardware.
Is it something related to Android power manager, that android Power manager does not know about my application is running?
