People app errors - Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Soon after getting my phone, the people app keeps force closing whenever I do something that involves that app. I have all my contacts. I like to actually like to manage my contacts. I have a feeling this is a common problem, what is a solution. I'm slightly drunk so I don't wanna research, any help is greatly appreciated.
Thanks

You could also try wiping the cache partitions if that doesn't work.

XDA App not working on Nook

I spent some time looking through forums, if I missed the answer to my question you can throw me in the fire.
Running nightlie #95 and dal oc [email protected] 1200 mhz. 7.03 stable all the way up to this nightlie I haven't been able to run the XDA on the nook. It loads up and I can make a few selections than it fc's.
Is this because I changed my build.prop for netflix? Any ideas?

NOT TRUE!
The XDA app (free version) looks for an IMEI number which the Nook does not have. DizzyDen has put together an app to patch your framework.jar file to give your Nook a fake IMEI based off your Serial number so apps like the XDA app, Swype, HBO GO, and the Xfinity app which look for IMEI numbers will work.
Is using Tapatalk just the easier idea?
Guys i hate to break it to all of you but the XDA APP has work on cm7 since day 1. No mods no tapatalk pro no nothing. install it from the market and run what ya brung. i have never had a problem with it once.
EDIT: This is without any hacking of the IMEI at all.
I will have to try out the imei file. Sick of seeing "process com.quoord.tapatalkxda.activity"
Thanks for the ideas

This is true on phones (which have an IMEI) not on the Nook...

In my experience the XDA never worked right. On both NookieFroyo and on CM7 I could use it to browse but once I tried to login it would force close. Works great on my Eris though!
I wonder what is the advantage of the app is anyway? I just use Opera and go to the website. I'm doing it right now.
again i beg to differ I have never once had an issue with the XDA app from the day i got my nook. Never hacked anything. It has always worked perfectly every single time. Not to say other people my not have issues, but both my Nook and My Wife's nook has never had an issue.
edit: Question or clarification perhaps. Are you guys getting errors just trying to load the app or when making a reply?
The error it's typically upon logging in.

When you say it worked from day one, which version of the app and CM7 are you referring to? And what are you on now?
I have a recent SD install CM7/n87 and a fresh download of the XDA free app, and it FCs everytime when you try to do anything relating to log in. Can you confirm what you're running, may have done special to get it to work?

fuul, what you describe is exactly the problem I am having
I owe this thread an apology. I had never actually tried to login on the XDA app. I just browsed forums.
Note However: Now that i have logged into the app. I can still browse fine, the only time i'm getting a FC is when i try to reply to a thread.
Again i apologize for not testing further before spouting off at the mouth. Yes there is in fact a problem, i just don't experience "as bad" of a problem as some of the rest of you.
I gotta say that its kind of rediculous this app has problems running on the nook correctly since xda seems to be the center of Nook Color hacking universe.
Then again the app is pointless when I can just use my browser. In fact I'm now getting rid of any and all apps that can be replaced with my browser. What's the point?
just get the xda premium app, that does not require an imei number or do the framework hack.

But why? What does the app offer that browsing to the full site does not? Besides looking like crap and taking up space.

Anytime I can use an app made for a particular forum I use that over the browser anyday. Having multiple bookmarks saved for each forum thread and for each forum starts to clutter up the rest of my non forum bookmarks. An app like XDA lets you save favorites within the app itself, therefor freeing up adding 20 some odd extra bookmarks of threads I like to keep up on.
The site provides that same functionality. You can subscribe to threads eliminating the need to fill your browser with extra bookmarks.
When I open my browser and click on my xda bookmark I'm automatically signed in and ready to pickup on all the threads I have participated in or have interest in. I just don't see the need for a xda app. There has to be a reason for the app. There must be something it does for the user the website will not. WHY!?!?!?!? LOL

Lower bandwidth for one? Noticed that with the stock browser and dolphin HD, there are times when browsing the XDA site directly it has issues rendering certain pages. Could be luck of the draw and a misbehaving ad banner for all I know, or a bad internet connection from my side, no idea. But overall the XDA app feels like it's lower bandwidth.
Since I haven't been able to get the logged in version of the free XDA app to work, I couldn't tell you beyond just this if it's worthwhile.

Google Play "Missing Apps" Issue (AGAIN!)

Hello,
My problem is identical to the one show here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1377514
Basically, when you go to "My Apps" in google play, it just says "Applications and Games owned by this account will appear here."
I am unable to download previously purchased apps.
I have tried ALL the solutions on that thread to no avail.
It happened after I upgraded my Rom to a newer version (hydrogenics 23/03 to 25/03) but I doubt it is ROM related, since flashing back to the backup of my 23/03 rom does not resolve the problem.
My Google Play app is on the latest version (3.5.15) which is supposed to solve this issue.
I am really desperate and at a loss. Anyone can help?
I would be super super grateful for any form of help.
No one can help?

Too Many App Freeze on ICS

Hello,
This is my first post here. I hope you guys can help.
I updated to official ICS release recently from 2.3.6 (if i remember correctly). Since then I get too many application freezes. Generally games like DrawSomething, Plants vs Zombies... get frozen. I need to close the frozen app from task mngr and re-open it.
Anyone else having the similar problem or can you guys suggest me something to fix this error?
Thanks so much for all replies.

I would uninstall all the apps you don't use regularly
Sent from my GT-P7510 using xda premium
Thanks for all replies. So by "wipe" you mean uninstalling every app?
Sorry if I sound stupid. I am kinda new to phone terminology.
I have many apps. I use them all I guess. :-/

Seems like "wipe" is the only solution for me atm.
Could you please suggest me a back up app? And maybe a good "wipe" walkthrough forum topic link?

[Q] Apps won't download when started from playstore website

Hi all,
I have googled, searched and even called Google themselves but I cannot start a download from my desktop browser and have it install on my phone.
Phone does nothing at all, sits there pretending I haven't asked it to do anything.
The app will appear in My Apps in the play store and I can download and install from the device directly.
I've followed the guidelines on Google website, signing out of talk etc but still no luck.
I did manage to make it work by going back to stock, then flashing SuperNexus but within four days it's broken again.
Does anyone have any ideas what may be causing this and how to resolve it?
Try using a different Google account to setup the phone then sign in on the Web

Remove the Google account from the phone, reboot and log in again.
Thanks for the tips but still no joy.
Google refuse to help because I'm rooted!
So when you open play store, it doesn't start automatically?

I sometimes have the same problem. Toggling WiFi or data off then back on seems to do the trick usually.

Nope, sits there doing nothing as if I haven't touched a thing.

Backup and Format
Try to install antivirus and full scan if you face same problem Backup your Important data like contacts, notes etc complete wipe your phone
one thing I know for sure is that I have a large quantity of texts that I haven't sent. I've tried to get some legitimate logs but I keep having.difficulty. As for wiping my storage has been stuck as majority USB Mass Storage and I can't mount my external SD. I ran Dr. Web which didn't find anything except that my phone was rooted.
oh and for a split second when I opened GOsms to respond to a text I saw a whole bunch of animated emoticons floating around on the GOsms inbox screen. don't know if that means anything, but it freaked me out because I didn't intend for it to occur. and a large quantity of permissions and disk writing happened last night when I discovered this issue. Does Meta-INF mean anything?

Why get rid of go SMS? I know it's not any type of rogue app or app of malintent, so why?

As this is a messaging issue and go SMS is the app your using it is common sense to remove that first to test it out. Had many odd issues when i hhad used it and even brought it up in the apps thread with no good reply even though many had privacy concerns
Sent from Arkham
Ohhh okay, I see what you mean now. Well I just did a complete wipe and reformat of all my phone storage, and external SD. So if I have another problem I'm gonna lose it. I used the Infuse Toolkit to do all this and used the failsafe ROM to ensure stock while maintaining root. Is there any error in all that I did? If not I'll just go ahead and do a Heimdall return to stock, then root process. Thank you all for the input though
