Got my HD7 yesterday morning and was really happy with it, even more so when I found out that the HTC Hub contained links to apps which retained some of the functionality I was used to on my HD2 such as Flashlight and a phone enhance functionality app which enabled the ringtone to get quieter when it detected it was picked up etc.
But upon trying to start these apps I was directed to the MarketPlace which attempted to download them, except it kept coming up with this error: "Can't play or download. There's a problem with the licence"
After re-attempting several times I found that around 1pm yesterday the apps disappeared altogether and that the HTC Apps section on the Marketplace is now completely empty.
Is anyone else getting this problem?
didnt have those options on my hd7, im guessing its not a problem but more of a mistake htc put links there. i would say its just a waiting game, i know from my desire that i have got too that it takes awhile for the apps to appear and some of them are definitely worth it
They were gone when I looked. Hopefully they'll be back!
remove first
I had this too after it tried to upgrade them, just go to the programs list press and hold on each of them to get the pop up menu to uninstall. Then go back to marketplace and install again.
Yeah, I noticed that this morning they have re-appeared (yay!!).
Only problem I'm having with the HTC apps now is just with the one I really wanted - the 'Attentive Phone' app which brings back some the HTC Senseness that you didn't see from my old HD2 (such as quiet ring at pick up, louder in the pocket and automatic loudspeaker when phone is screenside down on the table).
It downloads. It installs. But try to run it? Nah. You select the program the screen goes black, thinks for a second, and chucks you straight back into the programs list. Dammit.
I sent an email to HTC yesterday about their app trouble but have yet to receive a reply. I just hope that they know that this particular app still doesn't work. Although it is nice to have Flashlight and the other fancy ones back and up and running!
Attentive Phone installs and runs ok for me; and the features work as advertised.
However the flashlight app can't install, and the "love" app (god knows what this is) won't run after it has been installed.
There's also the Lists app (for groceries, todo lists etc), and Notes is there too. I find the Microsoft Shopping List app is better though.
I've got all to install and only the flashlight app doesn't run. I'll try uninstalling and re-installing.
Update: uninstalling worked fine but on attempting to re-download I got an error '8000ffff'. I discovered by accident that if you press and hold the app in the 'downloads' screen, it gives you the options: 'retry' or 'delete'. Retry worked and the download and install completed correctly. Unfortunately the flashlight app still doesn't work tho!
First of all to fix error 8000ffff in windows phone you have to go to “Start”
Now in order to open the app list just swipe your screen from left to right.
Now this list gives you the entry of valid apps as well as those apps which are downloaded automatically due to error 8000FFFF.
Slide to any of the invalid app and press and hold it in order to get the option and press “uninstall”.
Similarly you have to uninstall all the invalid apps that are downloaded automatically due to the error 8000FFFF.
You’ve successfully completed the task to fix error 8000ffff in windows phone
i have a problem with ma window phone when im trying detting up my window live id accounts..its need an activation code to finish setup plz can i obtain an activation code fot htc hd7t9292
Hi,
I'm using stock 2.3.3 w/ stock launcher, build GRI40. Occasionally, when I press home, I see my live wallpaper but no launcher. I either have to sit for a while until launcher reappears or reboot the phone (or kill the launcher app if System is in app history). Does anyone else have this problem?
Another problem I have is with Maps. Sometimes when searching, the soft keyboard doesn't show up but if I tap where the keys would be, it registers the press as if the kb is there.
And sometimes when going into the details for a point in the map and bringing up the context menu for more options, the screen darkens as if the dialog is there but no dialog is shown. Again, when I tap the screen, it registers the presses as if the dialog is there. I'm using HTC IME mod for N1. Killing the map app doesn't help, only a reboot seems to solve it.
Anyone else having these issues?
Are any of these apps installed on your SD? That would be the obvious fix...

No, all on the internal memory. This is stock Android so stock apps can't be moved to the sd card.
When you update from the Market, the update is placed in /data/app, not system/app, so it's possible your Maps is in data. I know that was a source of Maps problems for me, which I resolved by moving it back to system. If you're not rooted, you don't have that option through... Tricky... :-/

I know that I've been having problems with the new keyboard, wont show up, wont show key press popups, crashes completely. Maybe it's something I'm doing... I think it's something system wide that just effects the keyboard workings.
I don't know. but you're not the only one with key board issues. =)

I've started having a strange problem with HTC IME Mod. I type stuff and it never draws the suggestions although the suggestions are actually there - moving the Dpad left/right shows the text being replaced in the input box with the suggestion.
This is starting to look like a GB issue tbh, I never had any of these problems in Froyo. All my stuff is stock.

I saw this problem once, about 24 hours after installing 2.3.3. I was also experiencing severe battery drain. The battery monitor showed "Android OS" using most the battery. I found references to setting the Wi-Fi sleep policy to "Never" to correct this. Sure enough, the battery life has been fine and "Android OS" no longer uses much battery.
It may be coincidental, but since doing this, I haven't had the empty home screen problem and my phone has been up for over a week. You might give this a try if you haven't already and see if it helps.

It was already set to 'Never' but I've set it again to 'Never'. Lets see if it makes a difference
I have a tmous hd7 running 7712. HTC recently put out an attentive phone app that integrates into the settings menu of the hd7. Once the app finishes downloading, it disappears from the app list and a new settings category called attentive phone is created. Is there any way to remove the integrated app once installed? Long pressing the setting does not work.
Why u want to do that?

Personally, I don't use any of the settings in it. The menu gets in the way, takes a bit longer to load than other settings, and feels tacked on. Besides, given that putting your app in the settings menu merely requires modifying the hubtype in WMAppManifest.xml, developers or carriers could concievably write crapware apps that are unable to be uninstalled. We should at least have the freedom to uninstall the application

If you don't use it then why did you install it to begin with? lol. Also, its completely out of way, being in the settings menu. By far a better implementation that having it clog up the app list.
There is no official way to remove it. It needs to installed again, but without the modified hubtype, so that it'll appear in the regular app list by which it can then be uninstalled normally.
forget me, im an idiot
How does it slow down ur system? I don't get it, works fine for me.... This is reserved API, you cant use it to put apps in the menus, its only for oem. Get over it or do hard reset.

I need to uninstall it because I've installed it twice
There are 2 HTC Attentive Phone in my Setting now
I have the same problem. It shows up twice in settings. It happened for me when an update for attentive phone came through marketplace. I updated and next think know, I have two links in settings.
This is the old one which published by HTC

YOU ROCK! This is what I´ve been searching for!
to everyone: here you go, deploy this with Xapdeployx with force uninstall option, and you can delete it.
Cheers guys, just bumping this so that others with the same issue can find it quickly
Usage Manager app (built-in/stock) used to work.
It no longer does. When I tap it, the screen briefly flashes dark (like it was opening), and then it instantly closes. No error message is shown.
I'm running Rooted Stock MI9 (rooted with RDLV - MJ5 doesn't seem to have anything I want that justifies risking breaking a working setup), with Wanam, TiBu, Light Manager (paid), Keyboard Manager (to use hacker keyboard with terminal and ssh, and swype everywhere else), and Pen Window manager, plus some really boring, typical apps. No games, nothing other than the listed apps that does anything exotic.
It stopped working some time during the last several weeks. I have changed no settings during this time. The only app I have installed is Light Manager Pro (I previously used the free version, until a paid one came out), and I doubt this is the problem, but I have run normal app updates.
Anyone know what it is that causes this issue? I can still get to the battery and data usage screens from settings. It's just usage manager that doesn't seem to work.
Stock MJ5, lots of other apps, no games or weird stuff. Never had Usage Manager on the screen, but I put it on now and it works. Did you try removing it and reinstalling it? (I know widgets sometimes get screwed up and you have to redo them, I've never seen it with an app, but maybe?)

Is there also a widget form of Usage Manager? I'm just using the app.
I can't remove/reinstall it, I don't think - it's a stock app, and doesn't show in application manager...
In any event, I suspect it's one of the root apps that's breaking it. But I don't know which one or what needs to be done to make them play well together.

No, sorry if it sounded like that. I just installed the app from the long-press on the screen.

Long-press the icon on the screen and you can remove the icon on the screen. Then reinstall the screen icon.
What I meant about widgets is that I've had widgets do weird things and by removing and reinstalling them, they worked again.

Oh, I've done that already - doesn't work.
It also closes instantly when launched from apps screen.
No bueno, How about unrooting, asking for a warranty swap and living with MJ5? Or isn't having the link on the desktop worth the drive? I think for a little thing like that I'd just live with it. I save my fights for nuclear war (like an OTA bootlooping the phone).

Well that escalated quickly....
This is clearly a software problem. I think it unconscionable and selfish to return known-good hardware for a software problem, because then the cost of this bogus warranty return gets passed on to everyone else (in other words, you and I). I choose not to make the world worse for every other AT&T customer (we suffer enough) to get one app that I am almost certainly responsible for breaking working again.
I'm sure I could fix it by reflashing stock, but I don't really want to do that, because it's so much work to get everything set back up. I was asking in the hopes that someone has seen this before.
Anyone know if there's a way to "reset app data" like you can for most apps, on the usage manager app?
I have pretty much the same setup except I'm on MI9 and don't have that keyboard setup you have. Mine does the same thing. Never could find out what broke it. Sure would like it back though.

I must stand corrected. I had the same fc issues last week with usage manager. Tried putting the shortcut back on home screen and messed with it for about a hour trying to find what broke it. Finally gave up. Just tried it now and it functions just fine. Oh well. Sorry I couldn't be more help.

What about using TiBU to restore the app data from a previous backup?

I believe mine started after installing the ATT Allaccess app
Mine broke when I used SD Maid. It deleted a temp file that much I know. Just not sure where. I'm going to refresh the rom and attempt to recreate the break by using sd maid. When I see what file is deleted I'll see if simply putting it back does the trick. I'm using a note 3 att 900a with the Walter White lollipop rooted rom.
Hi,
I'm having a weird issue when I'm in the recent apps screen. I'm not sure why, but as you can see from the photos, there is an ugly message showing up saying: "couldn't load widget" that specifically only appears when the there are apps present in the recent apps menu. I've had the google search app disabled since I upgraded to 5.0.2, but the message keeps showing even if I re-enable it. Further more, a family member also has the z3 compact and I can see that the google search bar doesn't appear on his phone in the recent apps menu even if it is enabled, so in his case the rrecent app menu on his phone doesn't show any widget whatsoever, regardless of whether he has the google search app enabled or not.
I'm no phone expert so I thought the best place to go would be the XDA forums, so I'm hoping you guys can help me figure out how to make this ugly text go away. The only thing that I tried to do, without any results, was to wipe the cache partition.
Thanks
It's just a guess, but I see some mini-widget icons I do not recognize from my phone. Perhaps it has something to do with those?

These are just some additional mini-apps that I have installed. I doubt they'd cause something like this though.
Anyone?
