Yeah forgot about that too. Some other apps do this as well such as TD's app. I was assuming it was just either poor programming or the app stays running to launch it faster next time and or save your space. This I don't believe is the case for Contacts though.

Hi its a new task manager bug if you can rollback to ver 1.5 problem will disappear.

Anyone else have any solutions since I don't know how to rollback the version?

Accept terms whenever you access the market application?

Every time I press the market application it takes me to terms and conditions. Its not a huge hassle i just accept them over and over again. Anyone else?
not rooted
Did you try to clear the data from settings>applications>manage applications?

thanks for the reply. Yes i actually do that with a lot of apps pretty regularly.
I also just pressed Maps and it went through the initial page like its the first time to press it ever or after an update. It doesnt happen every time with this app but sometimes. Again its not a big problem just kind of curious...Im going to keep track of all of the apps this happens with, maybe its native apps only, not that that would necessarily mean anything to me. Oh well, i forgot to mention i have the test froyo so in all probability its just a temporary issue until the official 2.2 is released.
I'm alos using Froyo and i don't have this issiue. do you maybe have a app that clears everything, like cache?
What i noticed in Froyo you can clear everything, if you do this the app acts like a fresh start. I had this with browser, lost all my bookmarks. Luckily i had a backup with titanium.
I don't have an app like that afaik but it sounds like it could be the cause so I'm going to go ahead and check my apps again. Thanks
If you are running an app like Advanced Task Killer or any other task killer app, you need to make sure Maps and Market are on the exclude list. From what it sounds like, you have it set to kill apps whenever you turn the screen off. So when you click on Market, it asks you to accept. Try this. Go into Market. Hit Accept. Click the home button, then click back on market. Does it prompt again?

So i tried what you said and when i immediately reentered the market i didnt get the terms and conditions page. Ive accessed the market 4 times today and ive had to accept terms twice.
However i stopped using a task killer a month or two ago. Could it be some app interfering?
Also, I have one nexus one that i use just to charge a battery so i exchange batteries usually at least once each day, i wonder if that could reset it? Except Maps has worked fine all day and i have to go through the initial info screen in that app every now and again. strange...
One last thing. When i use Flikie HD wallpapers, about evry third time i use it it freezes my phone and i have to pull the battery, but im not exactly sure when i installed that app and i believe the market/maos and other apps issue began prior to installing it, but possibly not. A lot of factors in play here

[Q] Internet not closing on JPO

I've found on JPO that when I exit Internet normally the app doesn't close, I have to go into the app manager to end it. Has anyone else found this / got any idea how to fix it please (other than a factory reset!!)?
I am on jm1 and the internet app is behaving the same way. I don't think it's a jpa problem
Same here, i guess it's normal since its part of google core apps, i would leave it alone seeing as it doesn't cause any additional battery drain and android will automatically end it when it needs the RAM.
Google know what they're doing

JPO (Froyo) allows multi-tasking I guess it's so you can look at something else and return?
If you press the Home button in call it leaves you connected and you can check your calendar?
This is standard behaviour.
Otherwise how would you multi task? If you just leave it the OS will eventually close it if needed. This is also true of the gallery, music player and video player.

[q] Issue of Gingerbread 2.3.3 on N1

1) Genie (news/meteo) widget is broken. I remove the widget but, when I try to reinstall it, "genie" process suddenly ends.
RESOLVED: clear data from Application Settings Menu and then re-apply the widget.

Same issue with Meridian Pro player, the widget would make it crash.
Deleting the widget, clearing application data, then re-adding the widget fix it.
Note that clearing the application data makes it forget your unlock code for the pro version. Make sure you have a copy of your code before clearing the data.
I miss the Froyo keyboard, i loved to just swipe my finger up and get another pair of lines with symbols, WHY WAS THIS REMOVED!!!
Or perhaps is not removed, anyone knows?
My n1 is sooo much faster with gingerbread! The issue? I can't stop playing with it

Annoying amazon mp3 app is still there!
Can't access to Google Voice app (no more icon). The application appears as installed in the market. Can't open / uninstall from the list of applications (appears in grey in all apps list).
Anyone have the Trillian 1.0.145? (final beta before it went to market)
Seems to be the only app not working for me, never completes log in.
Not really an issue, but I.was so much hoping for copy/paste to work in gtalk but I still can't copy in gtalk.

I always chuckle when people say they avoid CM7 and other ROMs because they want to "avoid bugs".
Irony at its finest?
Don't know if anyone will care, but if you spam tap "Android version 2.3.3" you will see this image:

Do you really need to keep evangelizing CM? This is XDA, we know about CM7. If we wanted to be running it we would be already.
When you go to the USB storage connection screen the button seems to say "Turn off USB storage" no matter whether it's already on or not.

Yeah, me too.
Just close the Market and then re-open and you're back at the new one. You may need to kill Market in app management, or just wait a couple of minutes to go back in.
I'm having the umts hsdpa switch issue. It switches back and forth every few seconds, and I have strong signal. Anyone seeing this?

[Q] Contacts app failing?

I'm experiencing a wierd issue/non issue.
every now and the when I exit an app I get a pop up notification saying that "contacts force closed"
Or "contacts failed" one of those 2. I usually look past it, it doesn't seem to be effecting anything just kind of annoying.
Has anyone else experienced this?
phone is a month old stock non rooted, android 4.4.4.
:I meant to post this in the Q&A. Apologies:
Try clearing data for contacts app in aplication manager.

How to prevent multiple instances of the same app from opening

Simple question here. When I open up an app, say instagram, from the app drawer or whatever, I want it to make active the instance that's already open (if there is one open) and if there isn't one, then launch a new instance. I only want one instance of any app open at any given time. How do I get this behavior?
Ok.. I'll bite here as most people are probably wondering the same thing...
WTF are you talking about??????

Ok, so the issue seems to be with the Facebook app only. Whenever I go into running apps, there are always several copies of it running. (See screenshot). I only want one copy of that running at any given time... how do I ensure this?
No idea.. Never seen that happen on any of my phones. Have you tried restarting the phone? Maybe do a system cache clean? uninstall then re-install the app? That's about all I can suggest. Is it the Facebook app itself? or is it the facebook messenger and each one is a different conversation with a different person? I'm trying to replicate it on mine but I just can't get mine to do that.

I have the same issue. It happens when you open Facebook from a notification. If you open from icon it uses existing process.
