Strange Download Question - Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE

Just so you all know, I've searched the forums, google, and read the consolidated q&a thread and haven't found this anywhere.
I bought 2 evo's, 1 for me and 1 for my wife. My wife's evo on the pull down notifications says "Event Highlights for the week" is downloading. I can't seem to stop this and I don't know what it is. It runs all the time. This does not happen on mine.
Anyone see this and have a solution?
Thanks.
B.T.W., Stock, rooted, S-on.

My dad had a download stuck in the notification bar.
I had to clear data for download manager, force close download manager, then restart the phone.
The culprit was an attachment he was attempting to download through gmail.
Hope this helps,

My wife is out of town with the kids for a little while so when she gets back I'll give it a try. Thanks.

An app cache cleaner and removing the battery would accomplish this too if I'm not mistaken.

Thhaaaatttt seems a little excessive on a phone that you would have to take apart to accomplish such a thing
Anyway, my girlfriend had the same thing happen to her, sometimes notifications gets stuck like that. On her case I just force closed the app and re opnened it, downloaded the attachment correctly then. So try to force close before you erase data

Thanks, I may try some kind of app cache cleaner, but I'm pretty sure I wouldn't try removing the battery

Sounds like an air push ad to me. Download air push detector from the market.

Google Talk

Ive tried researching this but I have came up empty handed. It appears once my screen is off google talk is logged out. How do I keep google talk always logged in?
Thanks for any help!

I really hope this isnt a wide spread thing. I use Google talk heavily. I cant afford for it to disconnect upon my screen timing out. I havent used it since I activated my phone to test though.
Maybe check under the power saver option in settings. There is an option to turn off background data when the screen turns off. Maybe that's it?

Just uncheck auto away status and it will stop logging out.

Is anyone else having an issue where google talk won't load for them? I touch the icon and it looks like it loads for a second then flashes back to the app drawer. I tried clearing the application data, didn't help, and of course I can't uninstall/reinstall

Yup, I have to restart the phone to get it working. I also notice that Restart does NOT restart the phone for me. It powers it down.

I have both of those exact same problems. Hopefully, the next software update will fix these issues.

Htc sense authorization for facebook

I cant get the notification to go away, or get it to actually authorize. Anyone found a fix? Stock htc amaze, just got it today. Facebook works and all but notification is annoying.

Which authorization? I'm trying to follow what you're asking.
Have you tried restarting the phone?
When i first started my phone out of the box today, i logged in to facebook to sync contacts. I got a notification saying
"Authorize htc sense to access facebook". I tried many times and it says sense failed. I cant remove the notification now.

Try this, restarting the phone first.
If it's still there go into
settings>applications>manage applications>facebook for HTC sense>clear data
Restart again just to be on the safe side.
Then log back in.
Let me know how it goes bro.
Tried that, and didnt log back into facebook but notification is still there

If you just got your phone and don't mind wiping data how about a factory reset?
yeah I'm going to try that, but I'm afraid as soon as it boots up it will ask for it again. It asks for it when I add and remove synced accounts too. I have no idea. I'm surprised nobody else has had this issue so far.
well i reset the phone, as soon as I tried to add facebook account to my sync list (not the facebook app), it did it again, asking for authorization and now it's sitting in notifications again.

I honestly don't know what the deal could be. Sorry to hear you're having such bad luck with it.
Reboot, clearing data and a reset still didn't help.
I'm all out of ideas bro.
So tmo tech support has no clue and they're supposed to call me tomorrow with a resolution...this should be good.

Nothing from tmo yet, but task manager ending the Facebook for sense removes the notification, but after reboot it comes back, so if nobody else is apparently having this issue, I'll return the phone for a new one.

I had the issue. you have to hit the notification and wait. Do it before bed or something with the phone plugged in, eventually it will time out. I did this a couple of times and it went away. Also, Check your apps on facebook from your desktop, if HTC sense is already authorized, try removing it, then allowing the mobile app to re add it. If you go that route, I'd clear all data from facebook and uninstall the app (it's seperate from facebook for sense) and then deactivate the sense app from your facebook on the desktop before you readd your facebook account to the facebook for sense, then download the full facebook app. I'm getting sick of everything trying to incorperate facebook into my life.
^ Thanks man, you gave ne the idea of looking at the apps setting in facebook, and sure enough, i had platform apps turned off. I turned it on, and tried the authorization again, and voila! it's gone!

Authorize HTC Sense
Did you ever get this resolved? I have the same problem. The Facebook app seems to work fine but I get the Authorize HTC Sense error in the notification bar. When I click on it, I get "error occured with HTC Sense, please try again later".
Read two posts above you. Ugh

Spam notifications?

Brand new phone from yesterday! I keep getting these spam notifications. any ideas how to stop it? hopefully without having to Download another app that will use the battery even more.The icon is a red star.
I wonder if it's cause the Battery issue as well. 4 hour little usage and only 43% battery life left!
1 day with this phone and i'm starting to feel like it was a mistake.

This is the worst advice ever.
Download Airpush Detector and find out which app is sending you notifications, then uninstall it.

It's most likely an app you downloaded. I've had that happen before. Once you find the app that's causing it and uninstall, it'll stop. No point in returning the phone when it's an easily fixed, user-created problem.

Was going to advise the exact same thing. I do highly doubt this is as a result of the software that came with the phone either.
Airpush is an awesome little app. Helped me out a few times too.

I hate these notifications. There are from some app you installed.
With Jelly Bean if you tap and hold the notification it will send you to the app that create it and you can disable all notifications from that app. Niceeeeee! No more ninja spam!
Thanks for the advice I'll get the app and try to figure out where its coming from. By the way heres screenshot of what it looks like.
Easy Mp3 downloader was culprit I think...
Sounds some apps pop spam.
I have the same problem when I download a game app.
After I download it, every time I connect to internet I would have a spam notification.
You could uninstall the spam app or reset your phone or rooted it by ROM provided in XDA.

Alarm clock issue after JB Update?

Hey guys, I am wondering if any of you have experience issues with the built in alarm. Mine sometimes does not tend to ring anymore
after updating to jellybean from att over the air update. It will show up in my notification bar asking to snooze it. When I click on this, the screen sort of freezes for a second and does not open the app. Even when I quit the app and try to open it, it just freezes unless I restart the phone.
Have you try clear data?

I will try that for tonight. It happens very randomly don't know why. I have not had any phone issues or updating issue or any of that sort. Except
for occasional lag but could be due to a lot of music on the phone

I had a few problems with my alarm before the update, but it seems to be working fine now. Just go download another alarm clock app from the market. I know it won't look as good, or feel as good as stock, but it's worth a try If your waking up late for work every morning.

Hey, seems that clearing the data has worked so far. I don't know whether its working because of that or not so still waiting till it hangs again. As for downloading a new alarm clock, that was the first thing I had done. But it seems that didnt ring eiher. So i think this was a problem with the phone having to ring,
Ahh, yeah sounds like a phone problem. I hope you got it fixed: )

Just like the title says, any chance it's associated with faulty hardware?

Same here... by any chance did you notice these things start happening after you modded the pen window or the multi window(assuming you may have).Im not sure but I just when into twrp and cleared my cache and delvik and reinstalled the deodexed m15 rom and then cleared cache and delvik again. Now my phone is running good with no more force closes... give it a shot, you dont have to clear the data as long as its the same rom..

I am all stock. No apps, no nothing. I do plan on routing the phone, but I want to know what it's like out of the box first. the force close issue is apparently an issue across all carriers. specific to that watch on app.
Second that! No modifications, at all. I just wanted to make sure everything was working fine before rooting.
I had the same thing happen to me Watch On would fc like every 5 min. but then I went into Watch On and set it up for comcast and no more fc's from then on.

I Cleared data on WatchON, and i havent seen the FC since then.
Yeah, I've found either clear the data on watchon, or go ahead and set it up, and the force closes will stop. Good old Sammy software lol

I had several watchons and one my magazine fc's.
Will try clearing the data on both, ty.
I get FC's for Apps I don't use Lumen Toolbar & WatchOn, for Apps I didn't know I had until they FC'dMy Magazine
Those are mildly annoying but since I never use the apps I can deal with it pretty well. I'm confident these kinks will be straightened out eventually.
It's when it's an app I use all the time like XDA Premium App FC's everytime I open it I get annoyed!! LOL
I'm expecting these inconvenience are only temporary and things will get optimized hopefully sooner rather then later. :good:
