sync icon wont go away - Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

i have a rooted atrix on 183 with gingerblur 3.1.
dunno what to do, just started doing it, ive deleted apks from it..
email
gmail
mms
music
news weather widget
those are it really...
so i romed it back with GB 3.1 without deleting any more apks and i romed it again with greyblur without deleting apks and im still getting teh sync icon up top...
when i plug it to pc and change it connection to syn or something other than none....THEN i put it back on none, it goes away...but comes back eventually.

You shouldn't have deleted anything you don't understand. It was the mail apks that are causing that.
Reflash and then next time freeze the apps that are system critical.
Its safer than deleting them if something goes wrong

thanx for the help, but no it wasnt the mail apk.
i did a reflash back to 126 because a reflash of 183 still popped the icon.
when i made made it back to 183, i did gingerbreak, and flashed gingerblur, with all that deleted.
mail
gmail
mms
music
news widget
god i LOVE my phone. thanx to ken for the rom.
i have like NOTHING on my phone, its powerful, with absolutely NOTHING i dont want, and i was able to put better mms and music player and not have to keep BOTH, which truly annoys me. if im not using it, i DONT WANT IT. just like on a computer. you know.
btw, the apps i deleted i replaced with something else, so i still get my emails, i just didnt want TWO of everything that i found better of.
and the time i didn thave any mail app, nothing happend. no sync icon. it just doesnt get mail. thats it.

[Q] Gmail crashing when deleting emails

My Gmail has started acting up, and won't let me delete certain emails. I try deleting them on the NC, and the gmail app force closes!
Does anyone know how I can fix the problem?

Are you trying to delete archived emails? That's when I had the problem. Had to delete from computer.
I'm trying to delete messages from the inbox. Some messages appear to sync once, but won't sync again ever, so if I try to delete, label, or archive one of these stuck emails, the app either quits or backs up. I can delete them from another device just fine, but those specific emails stay stuck and won't go away.
As a temporary fix, I'm using K9 until I can figure out how to fix it.
I'm having the same problem, rooted stock 1.1. I found that this only happens on emails that are marked as read. So if I mark the message as unread, then I can delete it just fine. This problem only occurs occasionally for me. Doesn't usually cause the app to quit for me, just fails to delete typically.
Hope this helps.
I've found Gmail to be very unstable on 1.1. I've switched to k9 and am happy with it.
I had this exact same problem on my rooted stock 1.1.
The issue did not appear until after I updated CWM from 3.0.0.5 to 3.0.1.0, including installing the kernel with ext2, 3, & 4 support. I was never able to determine with any certainty if the CWM update/kernel had caused the issue because even after restoring to a backup I had made prior to the update it didn't fix things.
I also tried uninstalling gmail and reinstalling it, but that didn't fix it either. I scoured the internet for a solution but couldn't find one. Eventually, I got so fed up that I completely restored to stock and took the opportunity to upgrade to Froyo. The problem did not carry over to Froyo, fortunately.
Nevertheless, this error shouldn't be happening on rooted stock 1.1 and it didn't for me for most of the time I used Eclair, so I'm not advising you to drop Eclair by any means. However, you might want to consider restoring to stock and starting over.
I noticed the same issue. Was not present when booted to Nookie Froyo on an SD card. I'm back to running the stock rooted OS, so I still see this GMail problem.
I'm just waiting for a good SD version of CM7 that has the market and soft keys preinstalled, preferrably that runs like it does on Nookie Froyo.
Anyone ever find a fix for this?
sent from my nook color using tapatalk pro
No, but the good news is that a stable release of CM7 (aka Gingerbread) is nearly upon us. I think pretty soon Eclair and Froyo will be obsolete as far as the Nook goes.
My solution to this was to mark as unread and then delete, the app no longer FCs if I delete that way.
However, not all emails seem to trigger this problem

[Q] FriendStream not working

Is anyone on a GB ROM having trouble with FriendStream not working? the widget works just fine, but when I open the app, it always says "loading" the eventually goes to "no updates" I've tried re-installing, removing the account and adding it back, etc numerous times but still no luck. Any help or suggestions would really be appreciated. Thanks
I have the same problem and can't figure it out...can anyone help? I just updated to Bamf 2.1 and have FB synced up through HTC Sense. Widget works fine but when I click the arrow on friendstream, just says no recent updates and all other tabs are blank as well
Did you guys use titanium after flashing 2.1? my friendstream kept FC'ing when i restored everything. Try doing another flash of 2.1 (make sure to wipe everything first). enter your friendstream login manually.

I used titanium only to restore some apps...no system data. but it still didnt work. i even tried uninstalling friend stream and pulling the apk from another rom to see if that would work but still no luck. i've tried pretty much everything.
I did use Titanium but also did not restore data, just apps. and friendstream was not one of them. I dont have time to reflash and setup my homescreens (takes 3 hrs) and its not worth my time for this one app to work, i guess i can just use the fb app for live feed and friendstream for the widget. HTC you suck!

[Q] Replacing Stock Apps with Custom Apps...

Hello, I am messing about deleting different files from the phone, and replacing them with (in my opinion) better apps, what i want to know is, I current LOVE the 'Go' Products, namely the SMS app and maybe the contacts app, so, which files do I need to delete/backup of the Stock messaging/Stock Contacts? I am using Elelinux newest gingerbread light... and usually uninstall files with titanium backup pro.... so can anyone help?
Be careful what you do cause some files are needed to make other programs to run or you may find you will get force closes on your phone or even semi brick.... This happened to me when I tried to change the look of my stock dialer! I did manage to do it after almost pulling my hair out for half an hour. Just be careful, I would also like to do this with go sms too, post back your results if all goes ok
Sent via my pimped out Desire HD using Tapatalk
yeah i be very careful, i back up everything religiously, thats why I ask here, I love my Hero, and dont wanna bugger it up
In the Go SMS app settings it says that it's better to keep the stock mms app. I also think It's better to keep the phone app. But if you use a custom launcher, you can delete the default launcher. Other apps you can delete are for example: Genie widget (news and weather), kickback, talkback, soundback, the music app, Google talk, browser, Twitter, Facebook and Google voice ;-)
Edit: and there's no reason to be afraid of messing up your phone, if you delete something wrong, just reflash your Rom with cache and dalvik wipe ;-)

[Q] X2 freezing of apps/text problem

Ok guys I finally got around to rooting and freezing some apps last night on my X2. However, now I'm having texting problems. They seem to go out fine but they rarely come in. Also, I sometimes get a FC error saying the application Text Messaging ( process com.motorola.conversations has stopped unexpectedly.
Also, when texts do come in about 75% of the time I get two of the same text. This may be a chompsms thing since it was doing this before I rooted.
The list I used can found by googling "X2 freeze app list" and it's on androidcentral. (i can't post links, sorry)
Can you guys help sort this out? Thanks!
I've looked at the list and its sound. None of those apps should have caused the issue you are experiencing. You mentioned a 3rd party messaging app? Do you still have the stock messaging app?
Sent from my DROID X2 using xda premium
Yes I sure do. I haven't removed anything, I've only frozen apps. I went halfway through the list and just froze a few at a time but stillgot the random FC's. I'm not sure what to do now..
I would unfreeze everything and see if you still get fcs. If you do it might be your third party app. If not then freeze just Verizon apps and freeze the rest one at a time, that way you can discover the problem by process of elimination. I personally think the third party app is causing the problem but hey I could be wrong.
Sent from my DROID X2 using xda premium
If I don't freeze anything then I don't get any fc's or problems to speak of. But that kind of defeats the purpose of buying Titanium Pro and the phone is much quicker when I had a bunch of the bloat frozen. I'll spend some more time freezing apps slowly but the problem is that the fc's don't happen happen every time even with the same list of frozen apps so that makes narrowing it down very difficult. If you have any great ideas in the meantime let me know, thanks!
Sure thing I will keep it in mind

My frozen list without FCs in any stock apps:
Amazon MP3

Cardock2.apk (do not freeze if you use a car dock)
DeviceStatistics.apk (polls various systems and stores statistical data)
Dock.apk*

* These apps are also required for HDMI mirroring; keep ro.hdmi.mirror.enable=false in the build.prop as it is enabled via hotplugging
HelpCenter.apk

Slackerradio.apk
SpellingCheckService.apk (I'm a good speller and hate this crap)
SuggestionsProvider.apk
SuggestionsRuleCheckerCore.apk
SuggestionsServiceScheduler.apk
-- Freezing these will alleviate a lot of the lag experienced with the stock ROM; adding build.prop optimizations will complement this
ToggleWidgets.apk

VcastMusic.apk
VcastVideo.apk
vnav_DROIDX2... (VZ Navigator)
Vsuiteapp.apk
VVM.apk
VZWIM.apk
VZWInstaller.apk
WeatherWidget.apk
You can freeze the datacollection APKs, but just know that you won't have any battery statistics and some data push features won't work either. If you freeze datacollection without freezing the 3 Suggestions APKs, you'll get a force close on the RuleChecker at startup.
I kept the social stuff mainly because the stock ROM doesn't integrate the Facebook app like stock Android, so in order to have your Facebook contacts sync'd with your phone contacts, you need the blur_facebook.apk authenticator, and to keep the status updates intact when receiving a phone call from a contact with Facebook data, you need some of the social apps (mainly friendfeed.apk). I disable the social messaging notifications from the Messaging app in the launcher, as the official Facebook app provides notifications, and I don't need two.
If you don't care about that stuff, just remember that the stock ROM expects many of the authenticators to be there, mainly Facebook since stock Android also links with Facebook. You may get force closes when trying to open or edit a contact, or when text messaging contacts.
Here are the APKs that will cause FCs in the contacts area (opening or editing a contact):
blur_activesync.apk
blur_email.apk
blur_facebook.apk
blur_yahoo.apk
I kept blur_picasa and blur_youtube as I wanted these sync'd in my gallery.
blur_xxx are authenticators (used in the Accounts page)
Blurxxx are actual programs
Sorry about the length, but some things need to be explained so everyone can understand these things.
Thanks for the very long and detailed post Jason. I'm also trying to get my extended battery calibrated but the Battery Calibrator app doesn't seem to be working.
I will definitely get to work on that app list but with just those few that I had listed I wasn't able to get into my contacts without a fc. I don't see how everyone else is doing all these things so easily but I'm struggling. Is it possible to have a bad root or something?
I didn't read all of Jason's post, so forgive me if I repeat something, but I use Chomp and have run into something like this, but only if I freeze the default messaging application. If I freeze it, I can send text from Chomp, but not receive them. Unfrozen, I can send and receive fine. As much as I'd enjoy freezing the default app, I've just disabled the notifications from it and hidden it from view. I know I was able to freeze it without issue when I first got the phone (back on FroYo), but, since updating to GB, it causes issues.
I've seen problems when my mother sends me a text where it doubles the text, we are both in VZW and the text itself is doubled on her end, so could it be VZW?

Forgive me if mentioned or answered I didn't read...just saw this while at work
did u happen to freeze email engine or authentication?
That will mess up texts
I can't remember now for sure but I think I froze Corporate Sync Authenticator. Would that affect texts? I need to get some more time to play around with this but it's so darn frustrating, I thought this would be pretty straight forward. I also still can't get my extended battery calibrated. I get the blinking red-light after about four hours off the charger

Our phone will NEVER read an extended battery correctly
no matter how many times u "calibrate" it.
You gonna want to use a battery widget and keep an eye on the voltage left.
I believe around 3700 is pretty much dead and u should recharge.
Corporate email may have had something to do with that text issue.
It sounds more likely that it is the third.party message app giving u issues.
I know when I used go sms and I froze stock message app I entered the APN and SMSC #'s or something like that manually ((I forget exactly what I entered...but I had found what needed to be entered by digging around in root explorer somewhere)) for it to pull messages and send correctly....
good luck...
If I have time later ill browse around and see if I can locate what I did before...

Yeah I have had mine go lower than 3700
I meant that when it starts to go under 3700 it seems to drop faster also
so its a good idea to charge up when u get under 3700 since its a BAD idea to let a Li-on battery drain completely....they work better and last longer if u start charging when it gets to around 15%...
Thanks for clarification motcher
Thanks for the input guys. Unfortunately I just can't seem to freeze anything without getting force closes. So I guess my root was all for not :/ boo.
Is there a specific battery widget that you would recommend? Or will any do?
When i first got my X2 I had a problem with sending double texts and not being able to open a thread once it had 100+ mesages in it. I would have to delete the thread for it to be corrected. I rooted the phone and tried freezing and unfreezing a bunch of apps and it still gave me problems. Both when i was stock with very few apps and rooted. But when i flashed minimal x it seemed to quit. Ive been running Eclipse and now CM7 and havent had anymore issues. Btw the problem with the text wasnt just one phone. This is my second X2 and both had it till I put a rom on it. Im sure there was something simple I missed but I still dont know what.

I might have to give CM7 a try. This is just complete BS. I rooted in order to freeze and apps and calibrate my battery, neither of which I can do. So now I have a stock phone with a pointless root :/

not pointless
just gotta figure out which apps are interdependent
as with most phonesI believe
also
eclipse!!! best part of being rooted.....and it's about to become even BETTER
(a little Birdie told me hahaha)
there is just enough to keep us rooted x2 users busy...
take a stroll thru booked's sticky in development section to see what's available
Yeah I saw a lot of people raving about Eclipse. I was going to install that but for some reason while I was reading up on how do it I got scared off. Convince me it's easy
How long until the new rom comes out? Is it ICS?

[Q] Installed CM10. Email crashes

I upgraded my NT from CM7 to CM10 & overall, I'm very happy with it. My only problem at the moment is that my email app crashes when I open it. I can get yahoo & gmail, but when I open the stock app it crashes right away. I figure that if I uninstall/re-install it might fix it, but I have no idea of exactly to un-install & where to get it to re-install it.
Right after I installed CM10, Talk kept crashing but that has stopped. Not sure if that points to anything, but figured it should be mentioned.
Any ideas? Thanks!
Answering my own question in case it happens to someone else. It looks like I got it working. I deleted all the data, not just the cache. That meant I had to set the account up again, but it appears to have worked. Mail no longer crashes. Must have been something in the settings when it tried to check mail.
