Whenever mine FC if i pull up a texting program it will pull up the keyboard however when i try to type it will act if its not there (click on a text string and it will bring it up in a full screen) very annoying.

I get the keyboard issue a lot and its very annoying. I don't know how this app is rated so high on the market with all of these issues.

Since my Vibrant is my first android since the G1 (only had it for about a year) I am not sure if this is a specific problem with the app or just with the Vibrant.

Does not crash when using eugene's hybrid

Yep, lots of crashes here. I can only get 3 posts and then it's a force close and upon starting again I get a un responsive keyboard.

Yeah I get crashes in my vibrant all the time..i came gee to post about it, saw this and at least I'm not alone ha. Some time nothing happens but it says it crashed...other time I have to close the program orry I can't use swype keyboard
(tminus 3,2,1 submit : crash

Get the same problem. Its inconsistent though. Someone else gave me the tip if you get locked out turn your KB into landscape and it will work again. I also noticed if you prompted to log back in, press cancel, then back (@ loading prompt) and you will still be logged in. I'm thinking this might be party of the problem though.

anyone know if this is exclusive to the Vibrant or if it is just with the android in general?

I use the app on my compal tablet with no problem, but on my vibrant it acts up sometimes. Last night every single time I would post the app would pop a FC window and would put me back to the main menu of the app. The KB issue I've seen in other apps such as facebook and even "send dev an email" in the market, so it may not be an issue with just xda app.

Built in screenshot

Ok so ive someone else post about this before just canteen remember if it was on another forums or not.
Ok so earlier today i was messaging someone and i was trying to get out the message screen but my phone was taking too long or i was just impatient but anyway i kept hitting the home button then i hit the back button and all of a sudden i heard a shutter sound. Sooooo i went into my gallery and there it was a seperate folder just for "screenshots" and mind you i do have the shoot me app and the folder for that is "shoot me". Has anyone else ever experienced this? I thought it was so cool that there is/was a built in screenshot but just wish i knew how to do it again i was so excited!!

I've experienced this 2 times, I searched everywhere in how to do it, but people keep saying they didn't on accident, we need a dev to answer this question

this happened to me a few days ago, as well. thought it was a hidden TW bionix-v function. I tried a number of different key presses to no avail. somebody has to know what the deal is, right?
Seen this alot here but no one can seem to remember what they did to make it happen...its weird..

I posted this same question in the axura beauty thread. I thought it was a special addition to the axura rom. I found out that its not a rom special but its actually an android feature, only problem I haven't got an actual answer on how to access this feature nor do I know what to look for. I have googled this several times and all I get are results telling me about drocap or shootme and how to use the ddms in order to screenshot without root.
Sent from my SGH-T959 using XDA App
I know for a fact how to do this. I don't think you can force a screenshot with any soft touch keys but you'll notice the screenshot goes off when you're exiting an app/browser and the system freezes up briefly and when you try to hit home on the frozen screen it takes the screenshot. It's happened to me on a few occasions and I distinctly told myself to remember what was happening when the screenshot goes off and turns out it always goes off when my screen is frozen and I hit my home key, while thinking my back button wasn't registered and in fact, was registered and I just got impatient and hit my home button.
I've got a feeling it's a bug log kind of thing. Every post I've seen about it mentions that the phone locked up, and the user pressed buttons rapidly. Sure, we can take Screenshots! You have to have a crashing app to do it though.
This topic has been covered soooo many times not only here on XDA but google.

If you have a vibrant running stock froyo.ka6 you can try this screen capture app from the market:

The only one that does NOT require rooting.

Hmmmm it seems like StevenJCarney might be correct. Like he said it seems like it happens when peoples phones lock up & it could be a bug.
Hope it isnt a bug & someone is able to figure it out.
Same exact thing here. It really sucks an app has to crash to use it.

If you have a rooted phone you can just use an app called screenshot which works perfectly. And it's free.

ive had nonstop maps issues on eh09, ei20, and eh03, doesnt seem to matter
I've had the same issue. I've tried uninstalling and reinstalling Maps to see if that helps. So far no other issues, but it's only been a little bit of time. Anyone else? I'm currently on EH03 debloated (courtesy of nitsuj17 I might add).

For me it started with their update that spilt maps into specific versions based on you're phones screen resolution

I have been having this problem for the last month. The only thing that sometimes fixes it is the hold power 30 sec/pull battery then launch maps first.
I have had this issue also. I noticed that clearing the data or cache before using navigation will prevent it from happening.

I had this problem as well. After I reinstall it hasn't occurred again. Hopefully it'll stay that way
cm7 w/ glitch v13
oc 1.4 ghz undervolt -100
Okay nvm, happened again. Though it seems to only want to do it when it's connected to my car dock.
I have also had this same issue. Everything else on my phone is working fine but Google Nav, Waze, or Sygic all crash with a force close error when trying to launch. Reinstalling the apps doesn't work for me.
I haven't tried Wiping data....It might work but I'd really hate to start over again.
Does anyone have an old version of maps I can install that doesn't have this problem? I've been trying to start up maps first before navigation, but I still get the haptic feedback crash from time to time.
Had to replace Pandora with an older version to keep songs from skipping.
Which version of Pandora did you go back to get the songs to stop skipping? Been having this problem myself. Is it possible for you to post the .apk?
Honestly, I was so fed up with Pandora being nonfunctional, I just grabbed the themed unlocked apk floating around here. The version is 1.3 and I haven't had any of the problems since.

Thanks, would you be able to upload to a file sharing site? From the topic, it looks like I'm not the only one whose been having these problems
In case anyone else needs older versions of apps, check out http://www.freewarelovers.com/android/app/
Maps 5.8.0 seems working for me. Hasn't crashed yet.

[Q] Facebook App?

Alright...so I just downloaded the Facebook App for my phone, and when I attempt to upload a new status message, the app just force closes itself. I want to know if anyone else is experiencing this and if there is a fix for this?
I am not sure if this makes a difference, but I am currently running on Slim ICS.
Facebook has been...and probably will be the single most hated app ever created that everyone has.
Every single version made never works right.
I've actually sat my phone on to of my router...with all other processes off......and still took 4min to even open the app

Yeah, I am starting to hate it myself now, however, mines does not load that slow. My only problem is I cannot post status updates..and I don't feel like using a web browser to log on and do it.

Friend of mine using samsung 7plus on stock rom also having the same problem..still cannot resolve...if u dont mind..u can use other facebook apps..such as friendcaster..
https://play.google.com/store/apps/...GwsMSwxLDEsInVrLmNvLnNlbmFiLmJsdWVOb3RpZnkiXQ..
i strongly suggest this. its not perfect, but i would say its the best facebook app out there. def better than the default. one major feature that makes it stand out is PUSH notifications for EVERYTHING...not just messages, friend requests, etc.

I'll try it out and see if it would work for me. If not, then I guess I am stuck using the web browser method.

Haha, but mines does not work at all ever since all the updates. Has been really annoying having to log on to FB using a web browser (I use Chrome Beta or Dolphin. Either works for me) and having to update my status like that. Mines does not FC, but only when trying to update my status. Otherwise, I can basically do everything else, just cannot write a new status update.
It seems to work perfect in diferent roms. I been using euphoria for a few days and it works like a charm

Yeah, I know what you mean about the battery thing. That's why I just stopped using it, and from one of the suggestions on top, used Friendcaster up until when I deactivated my account about 5 days ago. I agree with that person that it is not perfect, but at least it gets the job done.

Wave launcher force closes

I've had wave launcher on my phone since gingerbread, now I'm on I'VE and everytime I try to open the app itself to change some settings, it keeps giving me the message that it stopped working. Although it works when restoring my backup from titanium after restarting. I have no idea why I'm not being able to launch it through app drawer.
Anyone else having this problem?

Maybe it's having compatibility issues with ICS? I saw a comment on the app (not that we can really take those as gospel) from a gnex user saying it wasn't playing nice with ics.

yeah probably. Seeing that it was last updated last year in September. Oh well, hopefully it gets fixed somehow

Good developers reply to emails from play store. That's how I got MadMaxx over here for 4ext. If you really like the launcher, and since its a paid app, an email may be worth a shot

I have the same problem in my Galaxy SII with official ICS 4.0.3, the first times the app is active and I could go to the settings from the notification shortcut but when the app closed i couldn't opened anymore because when I try to open from the app drawer (that is the only way to active because the shortcut in the notification isn't there) it's always giving me force close.
The first times the wave is active when i restarted the phone because it was configured to open in startup but after two or three restarts it didn't activated anymore.
I tried everything I have installed all previous versions of wave launcher and the only that didn't give this problem is the 1.5 version but this version doesn't support widgets.
I don't understand why such a great application didn't receibed an update in 9 month, I hope the developer isn't dead
Sorry for my english.
I'm from Uruguay.
The only problem i had was the app would force close when launching from the drawer. So what i did was, i cleared the data, restarted and started from scratch again. of course the app still force closes when launching from the drawer and before, i hid the notification icon so there was no way to get to settings. Now its back and everything is working exept the only problem o had before, i have changed the settings and the apps i wanted to put are there. I can access it from the notication easily.

Have you tried Swipepad? I remember it being similar with Wave Launcher.... It even has more shortcut available (up to 12 I think)
I haven't used it for a couple months after resetting my phone though. So, I don't know if it works with ICS
waved launcher force close on ics
Me too.. ref: v1.8.1
Same force close problems.. Once I managed to get it up & running (that was the first & last).
Now I can't even get it to install, "unfortunately wave launcher has stopped"..
YES DELICATELY NOT COMPATIBLE WITH ICS (like most fancy launchers like ultimate faves pro

Is there any way of keeping Phone and Messaging Apps in memory?

Hi,
I have installed the AOSP gallery onto my phone to sort the super laggy gallery app on the GS3, but
my final issue is with the 2 second load time on the Phone and messaging apps when they have been
killed and reloaded in the phone.
I have seen the multitasking fix mod thread, but it doesnt work.
Anyway way to keep those apps in memory so they don't take ages to load? OOM Priority maybe?
Many thanks,
Biff.
Why do you keep killing them from memory?

He doesn't, android does it.
ExDialer would solve the phone and contact issue.
It keeps the phone in memory.
As for message, try Go Sms Pro.
It's launch time is very fast.

Yeah I was using those but themes don't usually have icons for those apps and gosms is pretty laggy
I had hoped devs would be able to lock those apps in memory like the homescreen but doesn't seem so
which is why i'm on AOKP rom now, the messaging app and phone app are far superior.
^
set the GO sms to run in LITE mode. pretty snappy for me
Edit build.prop and add line
sys.keep_app_1=com.example.app(replace com.example.app)
and sys.keep_app_2=com.example.app for the next app. Hope it helps
