Maybe we can start a sticky thread about applications that are not working right on the Eris. I don't mean apps that are designed for another version of Android, just apps that don't work for one reason or another(this could include apps that keep force closing).
Pandora can cause your phone to reset your phone then cause major force closes which require a factory reset to fix. It's not every time but it happens to me
PDANet force closes alot. And, brings my laptops internet with it. Sad days.
Grooveshark has the habit of not downloading music to play while on mobile network. It will try, fail, and wait for you to pause and play it again.
I had an odd problem the other day: when I rotated my phone to landscape the screen would fade to black as it was being rotated. Found this out by trying to use camera and had to do a factory reset in the options menu. Big pain in the ASS. Never had so many problems with my G1 or MT3G. Come-on HTC get the Eris together, this is not the only problem I have had either.
Iheartradio once in a while force closes. Also, not sure if this is an issue of the Eris(due to 3G connection issue not fully fixed), or an issue of the software, but certain stations cause my Eris to freeze a second and the won't work(I never been able to connect to a few stations).
For me it was Task Panel. After I did the manual update, every time I exited task panel, I got stuck on HTC screen for a while. I had HTC sense, HTC touch input, and thing needing to run on Ignore list, so I know they were not killed by task panel. Finally I deleted it and am fine....although am itchin to keep checking my memory

The HD7 marketplace has been a pain for me all night, kept locking up or kicking me to the front screen. Zune was also problematic.
Anyone else experiencing this?
Hi, yes i have the same problem, sometimes marketplace lock up and its not possible to start him and its still kicking me to the home screen. Then it helps only to turn off and on the mobile, what i will give for a task manager to close the application.
Been problem free since I got the phone on Saturday. Marketplace and Zune have been perfect.
Had this last night. Would start downloading something then hit back.
Black screen nothing happens. Hit HOME then back into Market and it just dumps me back out.
Had to power cycle to get it working again.
Seems problamatic.

yeah same issues, restart seems the only way to clear it - and agree a task manager would be pretty handy
Same issue here..... In between the app list scrolling and loading, it just locks up.. After i toggle my screen on and off to get back to the homescreen, it will refuse to load back up along with the zune app.... Very fustrating. Restart fixes it but its a real pain
Same here, It seems to lock up specially if you scroll to fast thru the lists. I have to do a restart in order to get in the market again.
The Marketplace seems to crap out when you exit out of it abruptly. Def needs a fix. Searching is also a pain.
Sorry if this is a dupe, I can't seam to search just a form form with the mobile app.
Has anyone else has a issue where after a few days GPS stops working? Anything that requests a fix doesn't get anything, maps and gps fix. Toggling GPS or Airplain modes doesn't fix it. I end up having to reboot, thanks for no reboot option in the power menu moto, and then it works fine.
It seams like a odd bug. I do use task killer somewhat frequently. Are there any apps that will let me restart gps?

I am having the same issue. One day it works fine, then a couple days later, no go! It doesn't even bring up the icon in the status bar showing that it is trying to get a fix. I have a hard time believing that no one else is running into this issue.
A reboot fixes it, so I have this strange feeling there is an app/process of some sort that is making it hang...
Same here. Always does it at the most inconvenient times too.
There have been satellite issues over the last few weeks - solar flares and whatnot - that have disrupted service. Task killers, also, could also be screwing up your system. Tasks aren't the same thing on your phone that they are on Windows, and don't actively use up power and memory. Android generally manages tasks quite well. Using a task killer is wasting more energy than not using it would, I'd bet.
I get the same issue.
I put the GPS widget on a home screen. I click GPS off - wait a sec - and click it back on. Works.
I usually have to reboot as well. I've noticed the gps icon just doesn't show up at all.
which reminds me. I really hate VZ navigator. It keeps running.
Alright. post 2 (trying to keep it useful...)
Okay, I've got several Samsung Keyboard issues, so bear with me as I explain as it may be a bit long.
First and foremost, my keyboard keeps crashing. At first, I assumed this was just a general issue that a reboot was necessary in order to fix. This is entirely not the case, as it even happens directly after a reboot at times. Also, they keyboard crashing happens in several different ways. This normally happens while using Kik messenger, but it does happen at times while using normal text messaging as well, so I'm assuming Kik isn't the problem.
1)Normal keyboard crash, where it gives an error and the phone tells me it has stopped working.
2)Keyboard entirely disappears, yet I can still type by touching the black area where the keyboard would normally be.
3)Keyboard doesn't disappear, but text entered doesn't appear inside the text box until after closing the keyboard.
4)Keyboard crashes normally, causing either (2) or (3) to happen.
I'm unsure what's going on. I am running a rooted system, so I'm guessing it may be some issue with the root combined with something I've installed, but I'm unsure what it could be. Keyboard was (and has been) working fine for months and months, and I haven't installed anything new since the day I rooted.
I'm rooted with Rooted Community Rom. I've not had any problems with this root since I've installed it, so I don't know what the Hell is going on. Any input would be wonderful, especially if someone could tell me what's causing this to happen, or if others have this issue.

I'm thinking 1) is due to Low Memory causing Force Close (due to many running apps) or the Keyboard App data somehow got corrupted and 2) and 3) are happening due to GPU not being able to draw the Keyboard and letters when called upon; can't entirely be sure unfortunately.
I can think of two solutions to try however:
Clear Data and Cache of Keyboard App
Go to Settings -> Apps -> ALL -> Keyboard
Select Clear data and Clear cache
Reboot or start a messaging app and start typing again
Try another Keyboard App
Many options available, try: AOSP Keyboard, Google Keyboard, Swype
Hope that helps!
Clearing it and letting it reload does fix all of the issues, but it just happens again shortly after. I don't have very many apps, and normally still have around 100MB RAM free at all times. I don't use social media or anything on the phone at all, and most everything else is just Google things, Kik messenger, and stuff pre-installed on the phone(Like the normal sms app, phone app, etc) Reboot, clearing memory, etc, all have the same result. Fixes the problem, only for it to happen again shortly afterward. Sometimes, in the case of the keyboard going blank, clearing memory doesn't fix the issue. It re-loads with a blank keypad. Doesn't happen very often, but it did once or twice today.
I've tried using Swype since it's already pre-installed, but it's not really the same size as the standard keypad and it's difficult to adjust to typing on it :\ I suppose I'll have to make due with using it for now, because that keypad doesn't seem to freeze or crash at all as I've used it (wasn't for very long, but the normal keypad tends to crash at least twice within the span of an hour if it's used regularly).
It wouldn't even be a problem if it wasn't happening so damned often. I'm used to things crashing at random, because having a load of apps (before) caused it to make things crash sometimes. But this is definitely not a "sometimes" issue. It's a "Please God, make it stop" issue lol

I know how that feels. I remember experiencing those keyboard symptoms you mentioned in the past. Frankly, I couldn't leave the stock ROM fast enough.
You should try AOSP or Google Keyboard, the keys are bigger and appear less confusing than Swype.
Google Play Music is really screwy. It works for the most part but sometimes when opening up a new interface like clicking on an album or artist it crashes my phone. The phone will freeze and it wont recognize any touch input. Turning the screen off and back on will just bring up the frozen page, it doesn't even bring up the lock screen. I have to either pull the battery or if i let it sit for a few minutes it automatically reboots. It continues to play music while frozen though. I uninstalled the app and got rid off my xposed mods that interacted with the app and then reinstalled it. I still have the same problem though. Sometimes it happens every few hours but I have had it happen every few minutes sometimes. I'm using the newest version of the Xtreme ROM but no one else seems to have this issue.

maybe do a KDZ installation and it might fix it. if it continues its something else.
So as of late my brand new device keeps having to refresh the home screen every time I exit an app.
Also apps that are open already always have to reload when going back into them from the recent apps menu.
It just started happening randomly. It's very annoying. I've done a hardware check on the device and everything passes. Samsung store also didn't find a hardware issue on the device.
I have 42GB of free storage space left. I only ever have 1-3 Apps open at the same time and I've done a hard reboot of the device.
Anyone else have this problem? What can I do?
Did you activate Developer Options", i.c. the one "Do not keep Activities"?
No
Think I may have fixed the issue. I cleared data in touchwiz home, and now my apps are staying in memory and home screen doesn't refresh.
Not sure what would be caused it or why it would've fixed it though?
?????...
If your home screen was reloading it sounds like a touchwiz or launcher glitch
Yeah but why would that have made my apps not stay in memory?
