So I recently updated the HTC App Notes via the Marketplace and now I can't open it. Whenever I try to, it goes to a black screen, then back to the home screen. I wrote down some pretty important notes in there and would love to either have them back or get the app to start working again without losing any data.
Any suggestions?

Turn your phone off, then back on again.
And a word of caution - it's generally a bad idea to use apps which store your data only on the phone. Apps like the pre-installed OneNote will sync your notes to the web, so you'll never lose them.
Yeah restarting it was one of the first things I tried, but no luck.
And yeah, I guess you're right I'll take a look at OneNote after I get my data from Notes lol
Anyways, any other suggestions?

You can try uninstalling the app and re-installing it, but you may well lose your data if you do so.
Losing the data is what I'm afraid of :/

Why did you start using an app that has no way of backing up?
Dunno, I guess it was pretty and it was an official htc app? Lol it was my first time using windows phone 7 and I guess I just used what I found first time around

I just downloaded that and it seems to work well. One of the default settings disables it in landscape mode, which might be the problem you guys are having. Either deselect that option or try it in portrait mode to see if that works.
I'd still like to find something closer to what is described in the OP. It would be kind of useful to have it just turn on and off when I open and close my case.
Aite I got it to work upon closing sweet now if i can just find one that "aweken" my Xoom upon opening case....

I think you might be talking about Killswitch. It was developed by an xda dev. I tried to use it with my 7 inch tab, but had fcs. However he was very helpful. I haven't tried it with the Xoom, but I think I'll look it up.

I was able to install it yesterday from the link I posted. The apk is there under the market link and video. I decided against using it, but you can give it a try.
Anyone have this issue or know how to fix it. When I try to open up contacts it will send me back to the home screen and says "aab initializing" Never seen this before in any android so I'm kinda lost. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Nevermind got it. It was caused by freezing the att apps.

Which AT&T app did you need to unfreeze to get contacts to work again?
I'm betting it was contact sync. I used to close that service all the time cause I didn't care if my contacts were being backed up by ATT. Turns out it was controlling my entire contact app.
Yeah it was the contact sync, if I remember correctly. Been so long since I was on the stock rom can't say for sure.

Am i the only person who is getting sick of the market? It constantly is screwing up and wont load screens. Specifically tonight every time i go to update Superuser i get as far as where I can press Update and then the next screen wont load. I can go to Titanium Pro key but when I go to download it, I cant go to tge accept and install screen, once again it won't load. This happened non root and even while rooted.

And I like to call that screen the "white screen of death" - seriously annoying.

thank you. I am NOT alone. stuff like this makes me feel like im going crazy haha
Here are two things you can try:
1. Manage Applications/All/Market/Clear Data - you will have to "Accept the Google terms again and then it will take a minute or so for the market to sync back up with your Gmail account.
2. Manage Applications/All/Market - if the market page has a button that says something like "undo/uninstall updates" hit that.
Good luck.

I've done both. It's not just this phone. My buddy's CM7 incredible has the same market issues.

I was a victim of this white screen of death all day yesterday..... only thing that solved it temporarily was rebooting the phone...
i'm having the same issues exactly
Mine is strictly trying to use wifi with the marketplace though. works fine over 3G for the most part. I too have tried all the voodoo fixes like clearing data, blah blah none of it works either

It's the opposite for me. No issues on wifi.

I am having a problem with multiple launchers installed on my phone. If I install another launcher (launcherPro, adw, etc.) The resolver activity shows up like it is supposed to. I select a default (it doesn't matter which) and it does what it is supposed to do. After about 5 minutes, the phone forgets that I have selected a default, and if I hit home button, the resolver shows up again. This will happen every 5 minutes until i uninstall everything except sense.
Anyone else experience this, or know of any fixes?
I got my vivid on Sunday and since the minute I turned it on, I had adw ex. Haven't run into the phone wanting to use sense over and over.

^this , OR are you using the task killer and just pushing "kill all" ? i found that was killing adw ex, and i had to break the habit of just pushing that magical button and instead hit all the little x's and close the apps manually...
hope this helps,
-Dagnus
no task killers. I did a factory reset, and that didn't fix the problem. I think I am just going to live with it. Hopefully we get a permanent root and custom recovery soon. I figure it is a software problem that will disappear once I get on a new ROM.
An update: Digging through logcat, I have figured out it is the HTC Messages app that is clearing the default. I am on the phone with HTC now, but not holding my breath. The 1st level tech support had not idea what I was talking about, and when I mentioned logcat it really threw her.
Can someone confirm this by installing another launcher and firing up HTC Messages and see what happens?
You mean the stock messaging app? I'm using launcher 7 right now with stock messaging app. Works fine.
Sent from my HTC PH39100
What build number are you using pg? I have confirmed that the way htc is launching the stock messaging app screws up the home preference. I can duplicate it with a custom app i wrote.
