My gfs evo 3d is currently crashing every app on bootup.. everything force closes.
Her contacts are not backed up. We cannot force a sync or get to the people option.
Is there anything we can do to pull her contacts? I am geeky so I can do almost anything..
Is the phone rooted? Also, contacts *should* automatically sync to google. Log into her gmail account on a computer and see if the contacts are dlready there.

Phone is not rooted and she did not have her contacts syncing to google.. it only synced like 10 of them and it wont sync now the app force crashes.
is there any more information you can give that may help someone figure out the issue at hand... something had to have happen for everything to force close everything

She said she left it on her desk.. came back and the screen flashed and restarted.
Now when you boot it up there are 40 things that are constantly force closing. The only menu she can get to is settings. She cant get to contacts etc. Were just hoping there is anyway to pull her contacts.
I can get the phone to connect via USB to the computer but I dont know how to swipe her contacts.
We tried wondershare mobilego but it isnt letting her conect to her phone.
If she didn't sync any of the contacts with Google when she saved them in you could call that a lost. Your phone is acting whacky, and the only way to fix that it seems like is rooting. Or you could take it in for a replacement. Either way, those numbers are gone.

You have adb set up?
If so, try this:

BS. They could go into a sprint store and pull the contacts and put them on the new phone.

How many apps are installed on the phone?
I would reeeeally hate to think that the old 70~ max app bug that was in the old Hero has crept back in.
For those who may not know, the Hero had a nasty issue where if you had 70 or so apps installed, it would begin force closing everything, including core functions, after a reboot. Flashing back to stock, or an older Nandroid backup for root users, was the only solution.
Had this same problem a few weeks ago (unrooted too). Managed to get to the the Reset screen after a while and reset it. The Sprint store may be able to get your contacts but I am not positive.

At first i thought it was just swype, since that always acts up. Ever since I've had the phone anytime a picture is present in an sms thread, it makes the app go bonkers. It either freezes up, the keyboard flashes at epilepsy inducing speeds or the "soft" menu buttons that pop up flash as well.
I could normally make the problem go away by deleting the picture/media out of the thread manually by selection. Now it does it sometimes without any media being present. Basically if a picture is present, it either refuses to let me type or does so at turtle speeds.
I emailed HTC days after receiving the phone, but the help ticket went down the road of them trying to help me with my frustration of not being able to download .mpo files through the native gmail app, only preview.
I also took it to the sprint store where of course the phone magically started functioning properly when I tried recreating the problem for the tech (yay?), it only took a few tries to recreate the glitch, where she just did a wipe of the phone (don't remember if she did it through the recovery mode or "regular" wipe). But I shouldn't have to wipe my phone every time the stock messaging app starts acting up.
Ill try to get video of it happening tomorrow, it's 3:30am right now... Kinda late to be borrowing anyones phone for such things
Tl:dr stock messaging app acts wonky when media is present in thread
Is anyone else having this issue?
I think no one here uses stock sms app anymore. Gosms and Handcent are great replacements. Plus on gosms you can text from anyscreen, if your in the browser, your sms will pop up and you can reply from their without switching apps. Its very useful, give it a try.

I use the stock SMS app. I like having the integration the stock SMS app has with the home screen and address book. Anyway I haven't had any of those issues the OP is having with the stock sms app. If it happens again try clearing the data for the sms app, that won't clear out your text messages.
Just tried it, data was only about 864kb anyway, problem persists. I dont have a ton of threads/messages in there clogging it up.
And I know about chomp and handcent, ive used them both. I honestly do like a lot of stock apps though, it's not from ignorance... I had a cm7 evo 4g.

I use stock without issue as well. I prefer it now over those apps. For popups I just use SMS Pop-up from the market. Problem solved.
Are We Not Phones?
We Are D3VO!
Are we not phones?!
3.DeE.V.O.!!
i too use the stock app. No issues at all here.
Im wondering if I should temp root and backup all my crap. Dont feel like individually downloading all these apps again if I take it to the store and all they do is wipe it again... If it comes to that and the issue persists, hopefully they swap it out.

Same here. And I'm not roaming. And also if I reply within the same minute the text came in my text goes above theirs in the thread, so it looks like I'm replying before they even send the text which obviously isn't the case... But regardless, I do love the stock app.
One thing really bugging me about flashing roms is that the market automatically downloads my previous apps and i don't like that since i have titanium backup is there a way around this besides having to cancel all my 100+ apps?
Go to settings. Then go to privacy and uncheck backup my settings. Also make sure automatic restore is unchecked.

i just don't sign into gmail after a reset or whatever your reason one. after your phone boots up go to market manually and sign in. when i do it that way it doesn't restore any of my apps.
but laie is right, i did that once but my contacts didn't come up and had to fact reset again but then i was all good

Who said anything about doing when you first go through the initial setup. Of course you will do it after the options are unchecked.

I was just browsing my SD card with astro trying to see if I could account for all the gbs I've used ...anyways I come across a folder titled bookmarks_thumb1 ..I go in and there is hundreds of screenshots of websites I have been to ...i looked at a couple and sure enough I came across private emails as well passwords etc...what worried me the most was a.shot of my bank account after I had already logged in which in this case didnt show much but what is it would of took a shot while I was at a sensitive page?
I'm not a worrying type but this unsettles me..can anyone explain this to me..why are they there? Can I erase the whole folder? Anyone can get into these files rather easily if they got ur phone but even worse where are these images being sent ?
You can erase it without problems and those thumbs pics are from when you go to windows ( pinching out to see what windows you have open ) that's why they made, if you want to use another browser and you won't see them
Sent from my PG86100 using Tapatalk
There are also.pics of inside apps..that has nothing to do with the browser..I googled it and i was reading something about sense UI tracking info on the Droid incredible.. I.dunno..I.don't understand why they are saved into my SD card..I.don't use any bookmarks except for 3 and don't really understand what you mean..I know when you pinch out you see the preview of other pages but why arent they cached..won't this folder get huge over time?
It will get big but it erased them after a while from what I seem, mm this been in the iPhone for a while but you have no way to access it (there was in story about how they caught someone cause he had an iPhone and it will take screenshots not only from web browser but dialer and other crappy) if you scared of this situation I would recommend you getting a dumbphone or so, I'm not being rude is just that how tech works I guess, yeah those tabs the little screen shot is not live is just a screenshot and the pics well it those pic thumbnails too, idk why would they be there but there is another folder as well
Sent from my PG86100 using Tapatalk
Go to CDMI and .thumbnails folder you will see all your pics, and that's what you see when you go to the gallery , same thin in your pc/laptop you will get something like that as well

I don't know if i will call it conspiracy but this just sounds like the behavior of any desktop computer which pretty much does the same thing if you know where to look. But you could go to the browser and in the search box type about:debug, then go to settings scroll all the way down and uncheck enable cache. You have to redo it everytime you close your browser though.

Haha, wow I completely forgot about that feature. They showed it off like it was going to be the next best thing. I wonder what happened to it.
yeah the whole HTCSense.com thing they made a big deal about and i just realized now that I dont show my EVO3D when I log into that site. Used to work fine when it was ported over to the EVO4G.
EDIT:
I deleted my account since I couldn't change the device from the one i created with the EVO4G port rom way back when. When creating a new one I found it odd that they even offer the ability to select the EVO3D as your device but you can't even set it up b/c you need the ability to sign into HTCSense from your device which we can't evidently since its not there in the setup to begin with.....WTF???

yeah thats what im on the original OTA xHausx one posted. They are in the accounts and sync but when you redo setup like htcsense.com asks you to do, you dont get an htcsense.com page to log in.
on a side note im continuing to show there is an update for htcwatch, but ONLY when I view it under the htc hub apps page. I dont have it in the notification pulldown at all and when i select update it updates it fine but whenever i go back to see the app in htc hub it shows theres an update for it.
Keep in mind I dont have anything blocked here and have all the htc/sprint spy stuff still on it since im only on the stockrooted one xhausx originally put up. real odd behavior since it acts fine and says update is there but not in the notification pulldown.
Also noticed i can't connect to the HTC Sense server right now for some reason. opening up HTC Likes app from the app drawer gives me the "unable to connect to the HTC Sense server. please try again later." message. Guess they might be doing work on it b/c i have full connection here fine....would explain why i couldn't get it to work on htcsense.com earlier too i guess.
BUT, i can go to accounts&sync and have HTCSense sync both HUB and Sense fine...
I'm not sure what is OP's question about it. I have offline Navigation on my Rogers EVO 3D. I read that it is a 30-day trial, but I didn't see anything like that when I use it.

Hmm, I know my maps work offline, Google Maps or HTC keeps them somehow. I wonder where its being stored?
Kill your data connection & then open Maps, it works.
I have a rooted Evo LTE on the factory ROM and everything has been fine... until just now. I decided I wanted to recover my call log from my Evo 4G backup via Titanium Backup. Now, after a reboot, I get a popup that says:
"android.process.acore has stopped unexpectedly. Would you like to send an error report to HTC? This will help us improve our products."
The problem is that when I click 'Don't Send' it goes away but then pops up again less than a second later. It literally will continue over and over again w/o any end in sight. My phone is bork and I don't know how to un-bork it at this point. Sometimes I wish life had an 'undo' option as I don't even really care that much about my call log. I was just trying to get fancy I guess.
Any help would be greatly appreciated as my phone is pretty much useless at the moment.
I was able to navigate back to 'contacts/calls' within Titanium Backup between popups and click freeze. It froze and I no longer get those popups but I now get"
'Unfortunately, the process com.google.process.gapps has stopped'
In addition to this I assume that my phone, contacts or something also doesn't work now that I've frozen 'Call/Contacts' but now maybe at least I can delete and restore this file with a proper working one?? Anyone??
Did you accidentally restore the Contacts/Calls application instead of the list?
You could have just synced the contacts to your gmail account on the OG EVO and they would have synced automatically on the LTE.

Yes, this is what I did. It was even in GREEN text which Titanium Backup says is safe to restore and to avoid RED. How can I fix this?

It wasn't the contacts I was after. All of my contacts are sync'd to Google so with the new phone I had all my contacts after logging into Google. I was just trying to restore my call log from my previous phone when all this began.
That Titanium Backup item is data only. Go back to Titanium to that line item, unfreeze, then wipe data. You should be good to go. Then maybe reboot to make sure there are no more force closes.
Edit: Actually, I may be wrong. There could be an apk with that as well. What I said above is still worth a shot, though. If it doesn't work you will have to find a way to restore that apk. Are you running a custom ROM?

That's the weird part was I thought that I did just restore the data. I'm about 97% sure that's what I selected in fact. I figured it would leave the app as is and then restore the data and bam! I'd have my call log. That's not the case. Clearing data from Titanium Backup was going to be my next step but didn't want to bork things any further. If you're saying it's safe to do I will attempt that.

No, like I said in the OP I've rooted a stock Evo LTE and that's all. Nothing else has been done.
Reboot into recovery (vol up + vol down + power and as soon as the phone powers off, let go of vol up) and fix permissions.

Oops... you did say that in the OP. My bad. Yeah, wiping data should be perfectly safe with any app, user or system, so that seems like a good next step. Let us know how you make out.

Unfroze and immediately got popups again. Between them I was able to clear the data for it and they quit. No rebooting to see if everything is good to go once again.

Good news. My advice would be to flash TWRP now though. Being rooted without having a custom recovery is mighty dangerous.

I agree and I need to. I need to unlock my bootloader first and I started the process but didn't have the files I needed at like step 8 or whatever it was. I guess I'll try harder to find what I need when I get some more time.
In case anyone is curious, the problem exists because you have a Facebook friend that has a birthday on February 29th. Either remove the Facebook friend or don't sync calendar data from Facebook. You will need to clear the data first and then re-sync contacts and live feed for it to work. Hope this helps. This is a bug that HTC needs to fix.
