[Q] Post MR2 Update Minor Issues - Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

There are two minor things that are bugging me about this maintenance release update.
1) I can't seem to update (or download for that matter) the HTC Tip Calculator Widget to version 2.5. Luckily, I had it backed up on Titanium so I have version 2 still. But I would like to have the latest and greatest. Anybody have that APK or a work around to update this?
2) In the contacts list there is now additional contacts that can't be deleted. Such as #BAL #DATA #MIN #PMT. They have a SIM Card icon on it and can not be removed. Anybody know of a way to remove it?
Thank you in advance.

Number 2 has been extremely annoying me as well. Have not figured out a way to get rid of those.

I'm glad I'm not the only one who is anal about this then.

2.1 Dialler showing all contacts

Is it possible to adjust a ROM so this isn't the case as it wasn't in all 1.5 ROMS? It's really starting to get annoying
Not that I'm aware of... I've not seen this in any 2.1 ROM, but I'll check out the apk for anything in the smali code

Cheers, it's not just me though is it? As when you choose which contact type to view under contacts it won't show the facebook contacts etc but if you view them from the dialler then all are still visable....

I have exactly the same issue, the facebook contacts dont show in the phonebook but show in the dialer?! Yet to find a way to stop them from showing.
I'm running VillainROM 12 btw, and apart from this little gripe the ROM is awesome!!!
I've been asking about this for ages... I thought it was only me!
Glad to see this thread even if theres no solution as it means I haven't gone completely loopy!
its also show sim contracts which are not in the people program. I turned of the view in people as im on o2 and they have preinstall number for bolts on and stuff like that but there still in the dialer and even if i delete them from the sim if i reboot they are back..
that the only thing that get on my wick with this new update.
It wouldn't of thought it would be to hard to solve as there must just be a slight change from the 1.5 dialler as they look identical?
It's in every 2.1 Rom I've used.... VERY annoying!
I've also come to realise that when trying to send a message whichever application I use it seems to use the same contact settings as the dialer, so if somebody has a different mobile number saved to Facebook it will give you the option of 2 numbers for them and It's impossible to know which is the sim, phone, Google or Facebook number... Grr..
Moved as not development.
Ok just hope it gets as god response in here
I guess not....
To best of my understanding this is a lost cause: The problem is obviously with the HTC phone application, but we don't have the source for this application so it almost impossible for someone other than HTC to fix it. You can try to bug HTC about it but I doubt anything will come out of it.
So is this a problem on official 2.1 update too?
Like others, this is the only real annoyance for me.
Would it not be possible to replace the application with the one that was used in 1.5 to solve the problem? It's a major oversight at the moment
Surely this isn't impossible.....

[Q] Working GenieWidget for Gingerbread?

Gets asked a lot, but I'm just after some clarification as to how to get this to work
I recently rooted my Desire and installed Cyanogenmod, and now happily have a working version of Gingerbread on my phone.
Sadly, the GenieWidget (News and Weather) doesn't update unless I click on it. So I have stale weather and news for hours until I do so..!
Now, I've found some APKs that apparently work, but when I try to install I get an error saying "Application Not Installed".
From what I understand, this is something to do with the APK on the phone being signed by Google and the APK I've downloaded being signed by someone else (or basically just a general conflict in the signing of the apps).
Soooooooooo... anyone got any advice or directions as to how I can get a working News and Weather widget on my phone? It's one of my favourite widgets..!
Thanks in advance.
Hi,
CM7 has a functioning News & Weather widget.

Does it respect the refresh period for you? Because I can set it to update once an hour and 12 hours later the widget will still be showing old news and weather.
It only updates if I click on the widget itself, which wasn't what used to happen in 2.2 :|

Still get the "Application Not Installed" error when I try to install it onto the phone :|
I guess it's because it's a system app and has to be pushed there, right?

Sirius XM 2.0 App Apk

Would someone mind posting their US Sirius 2.0 app that was just released?
Us Canadians cant' download it, even when we use market enabler and change our provider.
Could someone post their apk from their /system dir?
Thanks in advance.
here you go... i pulled it from my phone, hope fully it works for u

.... those permissions are way off from previous versions... contact data? Sensitive log data?
What phone was this pulled from?
SiriusXM App 2.0 Crashing Droid Incredible MIUI 2.3.2
I downloaded the new app right away, hoping it would be better than the old piece of junk I've been running. Of course, every time I click on a channel I get an FC. It's unusable. I've had to roll back to 1.6.2. Anyone having similiar probs? Anyone have it working?
I'm also running Incredikernel, and I have apps / davik running on sd-ext. I suppose that might be causing the problem, but all other apps are working great.
(Tried installing Flash. No change.)
And there is already a new update: version 2.0.0.62 Could someone post the new version? Thanks.
Nobody?
Here's the new version
Hmmm. As a newer member I'm not allowed to post links.
So... it's at megashare /4179513.
Interesting. I flashing an older ROM and the App worked fine. Backed up the app and data, and then flashed MIUI. Restored data and app, but it still crashes.
Long story short, I have found a way to get it to work. You just can't tap directly on a station. But, if you select a PROGRAM, it works. I discovered this because I created an alert for a radio show, and when I started the new app it asked me if I wanted to listen to it immediately. I chose YES and it worked. Further testing revealed that this is easy to duplicate, and the solution does actually work. You just can't tap directly on a station. You have to select the program.
The app is still a memory hog and I'm still losing connection frequently... but maybe not as much as before. I hope this helps someone!
Thanks!
I don't have the problems all you guys have running ics 4.04 , it is however buggy when I don't exit it and receive or make a phone call.
Anybody have the ver 2.0.0.70 APK just put out today (June 2)? It has a lot of improvements that I have been waiting for. I am in Canada but my Sirius sub is a USA account so I can not get it through the market.

[Q] Known Contacts Showing up as (Unknown) in Recent Calls??

Anyone else having this problem? In my Recent Calls list there are only 4 out of 75 that shows my contact's name & image. The rest just say (unknown) and have the number listed. I looked at these 4 contacts to see what makes them different and I see no obvious differences that would make them somehow poll differently. I've had this issue since I got this phone and am finally fed up with it.
Another problem I'm having that may or may not be related is that when I type on the number pad to search for contacts via number or name... it doesn't work. When I start typing characters of someone's name the results just dwindle down w/o rhyme or reason. For instance, if I type my wife's name... nothing. If I type Chis I end up with three contacts with the name of Chris. That's nice but I have 8 contacts with the name of Chris. When I type any other name there is no results. Coincidentally if I type one of the 4 contacts from the problem above they will show up.
It appears as though there is some sort of disconnect between HTC's phone stuffs and my actual contacts and what not. Is there a cache I can clear or something to get this to work? Some sort of setting to get this to function properly?
Thanks for the help.
what rom and such? tried clearing cache or dalvik? are your contacts linked to google or facebook?

Stock ROM, rooted and unlocked bootloader. Contacts are linked to Google, not Facebook. As for cache & davlik... I have had this phone for a while now and this problem has existed since day 1. I have cleared them both for other issues and the problem remains so I don't think that is going to solve it as it hasn't yet. I appreciate the tip though.

Have you tried unlinking your google account and relinking it? Are you on the latest update from sprint (2.13 RUU)? have you fixed permissions?
This happened in 1.22 as well, its a problem with their contact linking. As soon as I linked Google plus and Facebook sense merged the info and disregarded the Google contact info, I had to reset and the numbers came back with out the actual info unless I opened their contact info. When I re linked Google plus and Facebook they came back

Yeah, I also had to do that for another problem so I know it's been done in the past yet this problem remains. I think most of the 'usual' stuff has been tried prior to starting this thread.

I'm on 1.13 still. I don't have Google+ or Facebook linked though as I didn't want to deal with all that mess and the people I actually wanted in my contacts I enter manually into my Google contacts. I don't think this is the cause of my issues.
It sounds like the exact same issue except you haven't linked any info. Maybe it'll be addressed whenever the next update comes. I didn't have this problem until after the second update

Any thoughts on how to resolve this?
Nope I jumped ship to cm10, I'm thinking about flashing back to see if anything else I might have done fixed it or if it was just because I re linked the contact info

I may jump to CM10 once it's final as there's still a few minor bugs that I don't want to live with. In the meantime I just want to get this stupid call history bug fixed. Is there something specific I can clear the cache of or detach and reattach that might resolve this? I did plenty of Google searches and I see some people talking about factory resets but then half of those say that doesn't even work. The last thing I want to do is a factory reset and that is if it was even a know fix for this issue.
It's a bug in sense as far as I could tell, perhaps installing a different dialer from the market that integrates history and contacts will help
Something else I noticed today since I uninstalled GoSMS and went back to the stock SMS app... my contacts aren't showing up in my conversation list or the main screen. Only a couple of them show a picture and name and the rest are all the phone number only. This is especially annoying when I want to find someone in my conversation list to send a text message to because I have no idea who is who. This bug is driving me nuts.
Well, today I found a work around... sorta. If you go into each contact and then set default action under individual settings for each contact (yes... each one) so that the default method is a text message (calling may work too... haven't checked). Once I did this my contacts had images and names in the call log and the messages. I did notice that while I was doing this the first two I did had to be done again for some reason so I don't really know what is going on, what this fixes or ho long it may or may not last but if anyone else finds this... here's a possible fix.
Nope... still doesn't work. I thought I found this band-aid fix to make it work but after a few days it went back to not being linked. No contacts photos and no names. Just a bunch of phone numbers in my SMS list and my call log. This is very frustrating. Is there a cache I can clear or something other than the phone's main cache and dalvik? Is there an app in my app list or two that I can clear the cache of to get this to reload properly? I don't want to go back to GoSMS (too much spam and too much fluff) and it doesn't fix my call log anyway.
You could try clearing data from contacts storage in app settings or the 3 people apks then resync and see if that helps
Did you fix permission? This happens to me after I do it

Why would I need to fix permissions if I'm on the stock ROM? I thought that was only something you needed to do if you changed ROMs, no?
Not necessarily, if you do something as simple as restore a backup with titanium you might have to fix permissions, if you format internal and restore apps, you might have to fix permissions. If you change something in the Rom like remove bloat, it might affect other apps and you might have to fix permissions.
There's contact storage, then you have people, its broken down into 3 seperate pieces. Each one is responsible for different features like contact linking and contact sync from other accounts

I've rooted an unlocked... that's about it. If this could be my problem then I need to know how to fix it. Also, I get an error message whenever I open Titanium Backup saying that my device ID has changed and it asks if I wanted to change it back. I keep putting that off because I had hacked DropBox to get like 77gb of storage using the LTE Evo and then the SGS3 hack. After an update it lost the SGS3 storage space so I was going to look into this again and how my device ID applied before I did anything. I'm to the point now where I don't even care about the DropBox thing anymore and should probably figure out how to proceed with this whole device ID thing that TiBackup keeps warning about. Not sure if that could have any relation to this problem but seems like it could so that's why I just mentioned it.

So there are 3 different APKs for this? So I need to find each one in my installed list and clear data/cache? Any idea what they're called if that's the case so I clear the right ones?
All 3 are named people, the device id problem sounds like build.prop but Im not sure because I'm not entirely sure what you did

I updated to today's OTA and now I only get headlines in Google now

I updated to today's OTA and now I only get headlines in Google now.
When I swipe left I see all the articles with only the headline and a photo. No short summary.
The "more articles" section it's not affected.a refresh or system restart does not change
anything.

It seems I should refer to it as "Google feed" now. No-one else has this issue?
The S9+ is not rooted. Some things were removed after I bought it using ADB, but that has been some time ago. I had at least 2 OTA's since. This happened after I accepted the last OTA (of this weekend).

Are you talking about OS OTAs or updates to the Google app? Your original and follow up post weren't clear enough for anyone to offer help. It does seem like there may be an issue with Google Feed with an easy fix though. Changing the wallpaper. Seems silly, but might help you.

Hi... I was referring to the OS OTA of last weekend.
The link you gave me is indeed what's happened to me. Thanks!!!
The new problem I'm facing now is that I'm now somehow tangled in a Samsung account which I refuse to make.
Maybe i need to remove that wallpaper manager to get one that is not linked to Samsung.
If I can't find that I'll be back.
Many thanks
EDIT:
I removed Samsung themes and installed some other app and my feeds have returned
