[Q] Launch app when rebooting - Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I have a third party keyboard, but after reboot android reverts to the default keyboard. Therefore before I can change input type from a message, I have to launch the keyboard app from my app launcher, select that keyboard under settings, then finally under input type it will let me select the third party keyboard. Is it possible to tell an app to run automatically after reboot so that I can switch keyboards automatically from the messaging app without having to launch it after every reboot, or even more pleasing would be for it to be the default keyboard. I'm running aosp 2.3.3 20110307. Thanks in advance!

What third party.keyboard are you referring to?

Is the keyboard app on your sd card. Could be the issue if it's being used via apps2sd.

I'm using shiftkey, and it is on the sd card. how can I move it to the internal storage?

In your application settings, it should show an option to move it to your internal storage area. But if you're using App2SD, I don't know if it'll allow you or not. I stop messing with that once I got Firerat down. Check it out if you have the time; it's well worth the trouble.

Keeps forgetting input settings after reboot

Latest Cyanogen Build....(and all before it)
My problem is after reboots the phone forgets my input settings. It always reverts back to the default android keyboard... is there any way to make it remember that I want it on swiftkey?
Move the keyboard app you want (swiftkey) to your phone memory. NOT the SD-card.

Before you search for a new camera app have you cleared out your camera cache and tried the camera again?
Do the following:
Phone menu button > Settings > Applications > Manage applications > All
Scroll to Camera (or whatever the name of the camera app you're using) and click on it
Click on the "Clear cache" button and since you said you haven't done much with it, if you want, click on the "Clear data" though clearing data shouldn't be necessary at this point.
Its tha stock camera app that option was not there

You mean it was greyed out? All apps will have the same options so it'll be there, just probably not available which is also rather odd, imo. When you look at it in the "All" list, what number do you see under the Camera listing? While you're at it, what number do you see under "Camera Firmware"?

I cant get to it. I tryed the firm ware up grade and it wouldent do cause it force closes. Idk what to do wish i could find the stock files for it and copy over them and see if that would work...

Disappearing Apps!

This is ridiculous man. I've had 3 moto phones now and have never seen it like this! Every reboot I lose at least 5. The XDA app is cursed on this phone, not to mention others.
Before you ask, I didn't transfer anything to the media area.
This is silly, and needs to get sorted out soon.

Same thing happening to me. Annoying to say the least.

You want to know how bad it was the last time my phone was rebooted? (which was from a battery pull due to the XDA app freezing up the phone) - I had 5 1/2 pages of apps before - now I have 4 1/2.
This is wild...
Just got the bionic
And the same thing has happened to me
Kinda annoying

Ok... I won't ask if you transfered anything to the media area.
What I will ask is if you transfered your file which are in the media area back to the phone.
Some apps will install to the media area by default. You need to move them to the phone in manage apps.
Go to manage apps and select the media area tab. Make sure you go down the line and ensure there are no checks in any boxes.
If you have any, move those apps to phone if you don't want them top disappear.

You're a boss.
Just did what you said. I will report back at the end of the day if I lost any apps.

Not so fast
I just followed the recommendation to the T. And when I attempt to uncheck the box, I get a screen that allows me to move the app back to the phone.
So I next tried to move the app back to the phone, but when I do, I get a popup that states: "FAILED TO MOVE APPLICATION". Repeated tries yield the same results.
The QC on this phone is rubbish.
+1 ... I usually lose XDA, Netflix, and Madden 12. Madden 12 won't even show up in the market for me either although I have paid for it.
If the app you're trying to movve is already missing try re-installing it from the market before you move it to keep your data.
The apps which disapeared all start with "COM." And will have to be re-installed before you can move them.

When I download apps from Android Market, the Bionic occasionally (rarely) throws an insufficient storage message just prior to installation, despite have >2GB of application storage available. The downloaded file just disappears after that.
If I had to guess, when my apps disappear, they do so during automatic updates.
If you get that error, most likely it was trying to save an app to your media area.
Re-download and install the app.
Once install is complete, send the app back to phone asap. Get it out of the media area.

UN mounting and re mounting the internal storage works. So does restarting the launcher after the initial boot. You can use a task manager to kill the home process... When it restarts all my apps re appear
Weak we have to go through all that trouble... But it is better than no fix at all.
Losing apps is not Bionic specific
Dear All:
My lg revolution does the same thing, when I reboot phone not all the apps load. It seems to be software related aka Android glitches. The apps I have installed to the external SD card are the ones that are sometimes lost. Internal memory apps never get lost. BTW my wife's Fascinate the same thing.

What class SD card are you using? Try a slower class card. It also might be the brand is not compatible.
Your SD card is the problem.

I had this problem as well, and after doing a bit of searching around, this is what I came up with. This is apparently a problem plaguing the Bionic right now, and will hopefully be fixed with the soon to come OTA update. When you download apps, go to settings>Applications>Manage Applications>Media Area, and uncheck the apps that you want the phone to not delete, or if it's a new app you just downloaded, make sure it ISN'T checked. In a sense, sometimes the phone will save apps to the SD card (when the box is checked) automatically besides the standard internal memory, therefore when the phone reboots, it might not read the apps in your SD memory very well. So until the OTA udpate comes through, just double check in this area that all apps are unchecked (unless it's Backbreaker, or something). For instance, my DroidForums application kept uninstalling itself, and after checking the Media Area, I noticed that the box beside the name was "checked." After unchecking, it is no longer removing itself.

Why are my apps updating automatically

Since last two days many apps started updating auto how's that being done/?the verizons stuff apps , flash, skype mob and those which I had from market does thse updates tkes more memory?coz each time if all apps starts updatin then wud it have effect on memory..

Not sure if this answers your question but anyways you can turn off automatic updating on the apps market page.

Open Market app, hit Menu, select Settings and uncheck the "Auto-update apps" box.

(?) Storage nearly full notification, how to remove?

Basically all I want to know is how to stop, remove or otherwise prevent the 'internal storage is 75% full' notification that appears fairly often.
Better yet how do I move all my files from the phone to the SD card? Mainly photos if I'm honest.
I've tried searching but to be fair the XDA Premium app search function is rubbish, I preferred the free app search feature.

Ride it like you downhill it.
Long touch the notification and select app info, uncheck show notigication or force stop the app

Use a file manager I use antek like previously said you can just stop notifications of the application.. Also download clean master (or something along the lines) it will allow you to clean your cache of all apps and it will also show you big files in order of size so if there are any unwanted its easier to remove
