Anybody else have a lot of force closes on FRG83D?

Ever since I updated to FRG83D I have been having a ton of force closes with various apps like: Facebook, the market, browser. As well everything seems a lot slower like bookmarks take a bit to load and Facebook just force closes when I open a picture or freezes.
I also am not being able to unlock my phone due to the touch screen not responding or the display won't turn on at all which requires a battery pull. This occurs sometimes.
Any idea what's causing this? I'm on a fully stock ATT nexus one.

I have exactly the same issues. It's actually the first time I've experienced a "frozen" touchscreen on my N1, and it's happening regularly now.
Just hoping Gingerbread fixes it

Same here with email.apk
Constant freezes or messages that the app stopped responding and whether I want to force close.

Had a few apps that did that so I uninstalled then reinstalled. Seemed to fix it.

I don't have any problem!! I use this rooted complete stock rom FRG83D.
You can try it. http://www.mediafire.com/?bd0ira8h6rdb9jm

I have tried un installing the apps that freeze but even after that they still freeze.
I honestly dont want to root my phone yet. I want to keep it stock until my warranty is over.

Just try resetting to factory default and you should be good to go! Froyo will backup all your apps so once you are back the apps will reinstall on their own. But make sure to backup app data to your SD card if the app has that kind of option (for example launcherpro, adw launcher and card star) has in app backup option. I had some sluggishness with FRG83d but now it seems smooth!

I was hoping to avoid a full reset. I also am the 2nd owner of this phone and I read that it only backs up the first Google account. But the second one won't back up apps.

That's really strange and very weird ... are you sure about that? But if you reset, it shouldn't take more than an hour and a half to fully recover. Good luck.

Amazon Apps Problem

I downloaded WeatherBug Elite when it was free and it will work for 1 or 2 times and then give me the error:
"unknown error. Please download the app again"

Is anybody else experiencing this problem?

Have you done what it says? I had that popup after uninstalling weatherbug free. I reinstalled and have no issues.

Unfortunately I have done it multiple times and continue to have the issue.

Read the reviews. Everyone said it sucks. Granted most of those people dont know how to operate a phone. I installed ran fine, just drained my battery in like 2 hours, with the status bar temp thing, so its gone now.

That's why I don't allow programs to run in the background and give me "updates". If I want to see the weather I'll pull up the program.

I pulled a noob and just created my own thread about the same problem... oops!
I've been having the same problem, it also happens with Shazaam. I have to delete and reinstall both every time I reboot the phone.

Talk about pulling a noob, I responded to your post not realizing you asked for it to be deleted! Here was my response to your post:
I also have this issue with both WeatherBug Elite and Shazam Encore. I actually uninstalled Shazam (at the time I noticed it) because I installed SoundHound Infinity.
However, I just manually rebooted my phone and, yes, my WeatherBug Elite came back with the error (after re-installing and setting it up).
I tested my other Amazon apps (Airport Mania: First Flight, Angry Birds Rio, Angry Birds Seasons, Diner Dash 2, Doodle Jump, Flight Control, Fruit Ninja, SoundHound Infinity, and Talking Tom Cat) and it's only the WeatherBug Elite and Shazam Encore.
Something is going on with the rebooting for just those two apps. I can't believe it's an Amazon specific thing.
I'm running a Droid X with Liberty 1.5 ROM.

Hmm rebooted and got the same issue... interesting. Ill try deleting app data and using TiBackup the next time after that.
In Amazon app store you can send issues to the developers.. i sent them this issue. Hopefully more users do the same and we get an update.

What was weird is that it alerted in the taskbar just fine.

Doing a little research with a few people here (with Droid X's) is that it only happens on my phone.
The difference between mine and the others is that I'm running a custom ROM (Liberty 1.5).
It works fine for my Droid X friends that 1) is stock and 2) rooted, but stock ROM.
So, for me, it looks like there is something with the app and the fact that I'm running a custom ROM.

I too experienced fc on weather bug and shazam on Phoenix Ultimate and current rom Unleashed. May be it's an issue with the app itself. Other than those 2 apps, all works without any issues.

I think it's an app problem... All my other free paid apps work fine.
I just deleted it and got the weather channel....

I was having an issue where Weatherbug Elite would say I had to enable one of the location services (GPS or Network location) even though I leave network locating on. I tried clearing the app cache by going to menu>settings>applications>manage applications, hit the ALL tab at the top, go down to Weatherbug Elite and hit Clear Data. This cleared up my problem. Maybe it'll help yours.

I have the same problem. Everything else works fine but this thing is the Devil. I cannot get it to work on my EVO. I have tried everything. I mean everything and now I'm more confused then an Amish Electrician.

[Q]Gallery freezes when trying to access.

I did some searching on this issue but the only thread I found was from 2010 and we've come a ways since then. My issue is, randomly when I try and access my gallery I will get a black screen while my buttons remain lit. I have to hit the home button in order to do anything and then need to kill the gallery from running in order to get back into it. Has anyone else seen this or know how to fix it?
I'm runniny Serendipity VII build 2 kernel 4.

I haven't had this issues, but here are a couple of things I can think of:
1. Did you try installing a different gallery over it? (Using SGS tools)
2. How many pictures do you have? I could see a lot of folders/pics tripping it up.
3. Have you tried clearing the data from the app? (Through settings)

I haven't installed another gallery because I like the default one and haven't had any problems with it until recently. I've got a few hundred pictures but about 7gigs of anime that I can't keep from showing up each time. I checked the application settings but there isn't anything you can clear.

Try this: look around in your filesystem for a file called .nomedia, and put a copy of that in the folder/folders you have your anime images in. They won't show up in gallery, but you'll still be able to get to them.

Swype Beta

Google: "Da Swypes"

Do you have the swype installer? It should update swype automatically
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I897 using XDA App

or go to beta.swype.com

Storm, what if you can't get the installer to work? I am running a phoenix rom and the only swype I have is the beta. Unfortunately I can't run the 3.26 installer (which just came out, thereby deactivating my copy) because I'm getting an error "Swype Beta is currently unavailable for devices that have Swype preinstalled" - since my cracked copy had a beta to begin with - when a new copy was released, my copy was remotely deactivated. Is there a workaround?

I'm having an issue updating swype as well, when I go into the swype installer and hit "update" I get an error saying "There is a problem parsing the package."

Here's the new beta http://jbthemes.com/djdarkknight/darkswype-morph/

When I try to install that app, I start installing and a few second later it says "application not installed"

Wipe data and uninstall Swype using Titanium Backup. Boot into Recovery and clear cache and dalvik cache. Then install. PROFIT!

I'm using the new Swype to type this. You don't need to clear your cache and all that. Just uninstall Swype and the Swype installer from titanium backup. Then download the new installer. Reboot your phone and run the installer and it should go through just fine. Just so you know, its really good looking.

I found his themed swypes... oops, but now after doing some more reading I see Swype has cracked down on "unofficial" themes and XDA is closing threads related to them. So I guess you'll have to find them yourself - shouldn't be too tough though.

Here's where you can get every new swype beta. Just sign up on the official site and download the installer:
http://beta.swype.com/
The latest revision works great, but I'm having, like many others, issues downloading alternative languages pack on ICS/CM9. Did anybody figure out a workaround?

Yesterday I installed swype on CM9 B16. within an hour i was down 40% battery (edit: phone was sitting idle, screen off). Put it on charge an even that was going slow and the top of the phone was warm. Switch the keyboard back to the android default and the phone cooled off and charging went faster (from laptop USB). Using the show cpu usage overlay, it seems like the swype keyboard is always cranking away on cpu usage even in the lock screen.
Has anyone else had this battery drain issue with swype? is there a workaround? Swype was the best thing going on my carriers GB rom.

Nope I dont have this problem, ive been using it on ICSSGS Roms, no glitches or bugs works flawlessly. It might be a bad install, remove the app and redownload it..

Ive noticed that no matter what there is almost always a swype background process running so that can contribute to your batter loss.

I realize its always going to be a looming process. I did try reinstalling a couple hours ago. Its not popping up so intensely on the cpu usage monitor and have only dropped a normal amount (a few percent) of battery since then. I think the reinstall did it.
ps. I also had wiped my Dalvik cache before the reinstall for unrelated reasons, could have this been the atual fix rather than reinstalling swype?

Gmail freezes

Hi,
I have the latest stock rom (LC1) for 2 days already and today my gmail app started freezing. When I open it, i can do nothing, the only working button is the home one. I deleted its cache, user data etc. and rebooted my Note twice but it didnt work.
Any ideas ?

I have exact same problem, Gmail is acting up with erratic behavior, capacitive touch buttons dont work and app crashes if you share something with gmail.
I think the latest firmware is to blame.

................................

Same here. Reboots, and force closes doesn't help. Have any of you used the stylus calibration app?

No, never heard of it. Why you ask ?

Tons of people are having problems with gmail (myself included). My main gmail account used to lock up, but it has since disappeared from the app. Look at the reviews in the play store
edit: mine is back to proper condition now

It's a problem with the app. It seems to be a random problem, luckily for me, i'm not experiencing it, but i've heard of plenty of people who are.
