Handcent SMS question.

For some reason, my Handcent app will at least once per day display its release notes when opened as if I just installed it, and any changes I made to its settings will be reset. This is particularly annoying because I use custom notification tones for different contacts & for new texts in general. What could be the issue? It's not set to autoupdate.

App updates through the market don't mess with your saved data/app settings, so that's probably not it. The next time it happens, uninstall/reinstall the app and see if that helps. Do this through the market, not from a Titanium Backup batch or anything similar. Also, I believe Handscent has an option to back up all of your user settings. The next time you have to reconfigure everything, make a backup of your settings. At the very least, it will save you a hell of a lot of time until you figure out what the problem is.

I reinstalled it like you suggested. I also tried reinstalling via EasyUninstaller. Neither fixed the problem.
Also, to backup the settings, you have to be a premium user.
The only thing I can think that would have affected the app is I installed a custom theme for it. It wasn't a theme from within the app itself, but a mod a user had made to change the keyboard color and some other things. I thought I had uninstalled it, though. I installed it via AppsInstaller with the apk being on my sd card. I'll try to find the thread I got the apk from.
OK, here it is: http://www.droidforums.net/forum/team-fusion/34058-release-themed-handcent.html

What Rom are you running? Stock Captivate or ?. Some roms cause this issue, resets the app (s) for some reason. I've had the issue on a few other apps but not handcent. I also registered the app, might make a difference.

I'm running Darkys 7.0.1 port, if you've heard of it. It's VERY nice on appearance and battery life, but this problem just sucks!
Would registering it fix the problem? I don't want to pay $3 just to remove the ad bar.

There is a free registration. Not sure if that will fix the problem but hell, it's free and saves your settings.
I have restored handcent using TiBu for at least the last 10 rom flashes, app + data and never had a problem, just did it this morning when going to Perception 9.5, and every things is working fine, logged in and it restored all my theme settings, preferences, etc.
That's with the free registration. Quote from them " Register free handcent account, get online quicktext and online themes services"
Other thing is, are you running the latest update? Every update has always fixed any issue I was having with the program.

Saw this: "with the new version of Handcent just released and it seems to break handcent even after resigning the app. " From the link you posted.

[Q] Few questions about P7

Hi, I'm planning buying P7, however I've read somewhere few things which worries me. First of all I've heard that you cannot change launcher and something about changing default apps. I want to use hangouts for sms for example. I'm not sure I'd like huawei stock apps. Can I hide or remove them?

yes, you can change the default app for home, sms, music, call, camera, gallery, email...with the emui 3.0 update the voice setting is difficult to find but after you know where it is everything goes well..for other app you can choose to freeze them (so the app apk is present but like it's unistalled)

Thanks for the answer. Freeze you mean they're not present on app list in launcher but apk still exist?

You can put the launcher that you want.

Stock Contact app crashing when I want to view a number

Good morning all. I don't know if anyone has come across or knows of a solution to this annoying problem.
Basically, the stock contacts app (by Samsung) crashes when I want to view details of a contact. You can open the program and it shows you the list of names, but if you want to open it up to call or text then it crashes. It's annoying as I cant use my call log as a point of returning calls. I've had to download Google Contacts to overcome some of the problems.
Is there any way of uninstalling it and reinstalling it as I know it's integrated into the dialer app too. Or does someone use an alternate dialer/address app that's simple and clean? No fancy themes or additional features.
Thanks all!

I've had similar issues with the stock dialer and messaging app. Sometimes they'll just freeze and only rebooting the phone will get them working again. Interested to hear if anyone has some sort of a fix as well.

I looked on the comments of the contacts app on the Samsung marketplace and other note 8 users had the same issue. So it's not just us.

Hmm.. tested over and over.. no problems what so ever

I had the same issue with the stock contacts app on my Note8 and here's how I fixed it. Go to Settings > Apps > Contacts > click the vertical ... in the top right corner > Uninstall updates. I hope this works for others too.
Edit: Unfortunately, this may only be a temporary fix.

Are you using any theme overlays? Substratum? If you are uninstall and try again.

This worked for me - thank you

It seems as though the latest update has fixed the crashing. My phone updated itself and I think the bug has been squashed.

Google assistant in all cn rom issues, help needed

Hi guys,
I'm getting a problem related to the chinese variant. And it's really irritating, i hope you can help as this is really popular and discussed a lot.
-Google assistant won't stay the default assist app.
-Access with voice match is greyed out.
-when i make google the default assist app, google is greyed out as seen in the third screenshot.
-weirdly enough i don't have default assist app anywhere in settings, I can only access it from google (first screeshot)
I already have disabled breeno stuff and some chinese stuff except breeno space.
I tried some solutions online from deleting cache to re-installing google, but the issue is rom related.
What i haven't tried is unlocking bootloader and rooting then making the assistant a system app. So what I'm trying to say is did anyone have it working like a charm, and how??

Unfortunately that's what the rom does. The only way I had made it to work is using tasker..
My first approach was for event when the secure config was changed tasker will change it back to Google. But this doesn't seem to work all the time.
My second approach was to create a shortcut that set the assistant and then launches the app. See screenshot.

Man this is irritating, using tasker for an assistant ?? this reminds me of an old tcl tv I have running android 4.4 and no matter what I do i can't get apps to function correctly on there

I tried making it a system app. Didnt work. still greyed out. I used android terminal App systemizer
It moved the whole folder to system/apps. I also tried system/priv-apps. But its weird that i can still uninstall google from the app drawer.

This is absolute bs, i thought root will make it work but now i don't even know why the cn rom is behaving like this.
I really hope someone got it working

Question [SOLVED] Google Account Syncing not working using Mobile Data

Hey folks,
just got my X60 Pro+ from china. This is a really nice device, really like it so far.
But I'm having trouble when setting up my Google Account, I can't seem to sync them using mobile data. Turning my WiFi on, it syncs my EMails automatically and so on. I really searched the entire Settings library and this weird iManager app, but I can't find any Data restrictions whatsoever. It doesn't even let me sync it manually in the "Accounts and Syncronisation" settings menu, only with my WiFi.
Does anyone know how to fix this? I really searched everything and everywhere.
Greetings
Update 23.04.2021 : Vivo has fixed the Sync issue with an Update. Updating Google Webview and other Google Apps is also helpful, if the problem might still exist.

I do believe it's related to the Vivo.com app, you need to use script in order to remove it
I had X50 Pro Plus and faced the same issue.

Thanks. Just removed a couple of Apps, also your named Vivo.com App, but it unfortunately didn't fix my issue.

It's com.vivo.pem to uninstall on x50 pro plus forum. There are positive feedback about it. Not in my case

Yeah right, I also did that but no success. I've sent an EMail to Vivo Support, lets See.
My guess is, there is the "WiFi Only" toggle switch "missing" in the "Account & Sync" Settings tab.

Hello, It has been one day I'm fighting with my X60 pro plus : I can have my mail on outlook, but they are not syncing correctly. I think it can be the same issue as this thread.
I'll update here If I find a solution. Thank you.

Try to do a network data reset. I made it from the settings and notifications push seems to work now
Edit: after a while not working again

Hi! Did it work for you? Did you activate autostart apps too? Thanks

My Spotify also says that I'm offline (with 4g). I have chinese version. Smth tells me same problem involved. Also Chrome has "no internet connection" at the top of the screen, but still loads webpages

Download Chrome from Vivo Appstore and dont Update it then from the play store. Maybe it works for Spotify too, I dont use it.

Any chance I can use Chrome as default? I hate this chinese default browser, opening all links. And thanks for the solution, I'll try that

Settings > Applications and Permissions > Permissions Management > switch to Permissions Tab in the top right and then scroll all the way down to "Default App Settings"
There you go.

I'm sorry for you but I'm happy to read this. I have x60 pro China and by last Saturday, 10th April, with a new spotify update it doesn't work anymore with 4g, instead works well with wlan network. Have you solve it? Now I try to look for it in vivo store.

hello, this problem might becaused by the default dns server from China,please use dns changer app to fix this problem.

using dns changer to change dns to google dns will solve this problem

It worked, yes! But having an extra App for this is kinda weird. I hope there will be a permanent solution for this.

It works for my Chrome browser ("No Internet Connection" tab no longer appears), but my Spotify is still saying that there's no internet connection even though my mobile data is working just fine

Auto-Answer :
I finaly get it working, but I don't know exactly how because I did a lot of action :
- uninstalled vivo apps via dev usb
- granted all permission possible to Outlook
- disabled smart notification
- changed the default system sound
- updated everything I found.
I don't know what was the problem, because it was really not syncing : mails was appearing only when opening the apps and waited for few sec to sync.
Hope it helps.

Any instructions on that?

Hey,
I own the x60 pro (chinese version), I live in France I have exctly the same problem as Eric-mod.
I didn't uninstall any apps but I changed my dns (google ones) with an app thanks to caeanlin it works !
it's been several weeks i'm in contact with vivo france because this is a whole syncing problem, concerning also emails (when i want to add some documents), and especially navigators and spotify (spotify still not working, even with the dns)
so the guy from vivo france took all my info and i send him this page that he transfered to vivo global (or china)
he said the guys will react quickly about this
