This is not the first time this has happened, but Pocket IE wont open. I would click on it and it would open for a split second then close. The last time this happened, I had to do a hard reset. Does anyone know how to troubleshoot this without haveing to hard reset?
Installed any new software or plugins lately?
I've never had a problem with my pIE.
Its weird, it was working fine with everything I have installed. It just stop working.
Ive had the same problem from time to time, looked into everything / anything to try and fix this but always ended up hard resetting or installing a 3rd party browser. Not much help but just wanted to let you know you are not alone! Oh btw which rom are you using?

Exactly! My only way around this is to use a third party browser, such as Opera, or do a hard reset. Oh yeah, I am using The official Cingular 2.5 ROM, overclocked to a stable 264mhz.

Hey guys...
So I was right on the bandwagon when Manilla 2d (M2D) first was relased a while back. Up untill about 2-3 days ago everything was fine with my phone. I installed the Manilla 2d customizer and yesterday I went to use my phone and the camera didnt work. It loads up and I can take pictures but the actual screen is all screwy. Only PART of the camera screen for me. Does anyone or CAN anyone send me a camera installation cab so I can get the camera to work again.
I would do a hard reset but I dont want to deal with the reinstallation of everything all over again if its something as simple as reinstalling the camera Ap. Like I said I press the camera button and can take pictures I just cant see what I'm taking pictures of.
Thanks in advance for any help or advice.
Aaron
i think you will find the best way is to hard reset the device.even if you manage to find the camera package and install it you will find that it will damage your current rom even more.
Sounds like you installed the Opal Camera, this isn't something you needed to do. You'll need to do a hard reset to clear everything up. Reinstalling the camera, which I have not yet seen, may not help with future issues. Personally, I suggest waiting until the project is fully complete before installing the 2D theme, due to various bugs.
do a soft reset.
this happens to me after i use the youtube app. i just soft reset and its fine again

A soft reset helps fix temp bugs. Typically, you want to try and prevent yourself from soft resetting, especially when your in the middle of showing friends how kick ass your phone is !

Yeah I uninsallted the youtube ap and it worked for a few minutes then back down to being screwed up. 2/3 of the camera screen shows up and I can take a picture but I cant change the lighting settings or anything like that.
I'm going to totally uninstall the manilla 2d program and see if that helps.
Uninstalled everything then reinstalled the newest release(s) for M2 to work and now everthing is fine. There must have been some conflict going on between programs.
Who knows.
Thanks though to everyone

It may have just got messed up - it can do that from time to time.
Go to start and lock from there. It should turn it back on after that.
Yes indeed, you won't be able to open e-mails from the sense screen as well until you do a manual lock....
Seems like a bug to me.
ahhh thanks guys i will try. i was wondering why my emails started doing that for no reason
i updated and of course, all internet browsers close as soon as a start using them. They open, let me go to a website or two, then close. I was super eager to test the full flash but i can barely get to the websites themselves without the browser closing suddenly. I updated the firmware, profile, prl, and everything. the phone was never rooted.
I'm about to do a hard reset but I figured i should check what you guys had to say first.

Hard reset is the only thing that has helped so far. Just do it, it will make the system work better anyway.
Will a hard reset effect firmware/froyo.
I had the same issues with the camera. Reset all folders permission to read and write.
sorry for my ignorance but how I can do a hard reset? and it will fix the problem?
No, a hard reset basically wipes your data and cache(?) partitions. All apps and data are deleted. This will return you to just your normal firmware, without any customizations. Then you can reinstall apps. I think that's the main problem, some apps aren't dealing with the upgrade too well, and as a result, you get some weird errors. It won't change any versions of your software though.
I'm having the same problem.. If we move the apps to the SD card we shouldn't have to reinstall them, correct? And if we re-install apps, does the settings/info saved on them return or would we have to change those as well? I'm getting ready to do a hard reset too and I spent alot of time with these apps and I was worried about losing info/settings..
Also, I'm using Launcher Pro, will it revert back to Sense after the Hard Reset?

Search "how to hard reset the HTC EVO". It can either be done through the settings menu or you can physically do it using the power and volume rocker.
My dad was having similar issues. And said that going into settings while in the browser and changing enable plugins from "always on" to "on demand" helps
Also the person using launcher pro go into the launcher pro settings or preferabces and all the way on the bottom you can backup your settings/homescreen.

It will return back to sense. It will be like a brand new phone. Before you hard reset backup your launcher pro settings and homescreen. Hard reset if my internet fix didn't work. Reinstall all apps and launcherpro and then restore launcher pro settings and homescreens.
Is hard reset the only way to fix this?
No you can remove Adobe flash and reinstall it.. worked flawless for myself.
James
I hate to ask this sounding like a noob, but I'm at work and can't do much research, but what would be the best way to backup all those files? Just with the USB drive or is there a backup app I can download, etc.
Nevermind, I figured out how to backup Launcher Pro, but how about apps still?

and how does one obtain Flash 10.1? It's not in the market

It should still be in the market, got it earlier for latest CM Nightly.
Yeah I don't see it either. I found Flash 10.1 beta on Appbrain, but it won't sync with my phone. I uninstalled and removed flash and my browser is still crashing.
Here is the APK. I had to uninstall it using titanium backup. was easier than going the ADB rm way
James
I had the same problem. Some are saying it's because of installing the half ass full flash version on 2.1 that came out a month ago.
I downloaded and reinstalled the apk and then it worked...for about 6 hours and then the browser starting crashing again.
The next time i uninstalled and then installed the flash 10.1 again, so far, so good.
When I get home I'm gonna try that and hope it works before I do a hard reset.
Nothing worked so I finally decided on the hard reset. I think one should do it anyway to get the best out of the update. Everything works fine now, glad to see that it remembers the apps I had already paid for. The whole thing seems to run smoother than ever, (I hated the baggy scrolling.) Southparkstudios works now, the entire video section of the new York times works now as well. Embedded YouTube videos work on Facebook they play without me having to leave the page/browser.
****ONE ISSUE***
Text fields act strange. I can't type status updates into the full Facebook site anymore, nothing happens when I tap the text field. That blows big time I hate using the Facebook apps I want the full site to work fully.
Similarly, I was never able to type into the text fields on the gmail full site. Now I can a little bit although Tue browser seems uber confused about whether it wants to deal with the text field or not. Any ideas why text fields (
Rich text fields) are such an issue?
I was hoping that yahoo games would work, especially yahoo pool but still no go.
So recently I've lost the ability to multitask, specifically in the way I could jump around from open app to open app and have them still be open as opposed to "restoring" their last state.
It's really annoying and feels alot like an iPhone. If I'm surfing a website or two and go to the text messaging program it's a black screen as if the program had just opened for the first time.
Then if I go back to my browser, all my tabs will "restore" back which is essentially like reloading them all from scratch whereas before I could jump back forth to between the programs and pick right back from where I was without waiting for some "restoring" nonsense.
Does anyone know how to fix this? I've tried different settings in autokiller but that didnt help either
Thanks in advance
So are you using a task killer? Try uninstalling it, soft reset, and try it.

I was going to say try a more lenient AutoKiller setting but if that's not cutting it, I don't know what would

I guess I could uninstall autokiller but I never used it until this problem started happening so idk what good it'd do. But I suppose it is worth a try!
Flashing worked, well I changed roms anyway but I'm sure reflashing would have worked too!
Now I get to enjoy Froyo
Hi everyone,
this problem is following me in every rom I try!
CM, Stock, 5.1.1, 5.0.1, it does'nt matter, in every rom I face this problem....
you see, music is playing in background and some other apps like Hotspot shield are running in background at the same time... as soon as i open firefox, music player completely shuts off and so does hotspot shield...
in every rom I face this problem so now I'm starting to think maybe its a hardware issue... could it be a hardware issue?
anyone with the same issue?
I have Flyme installed on my phone and its a good rom and I dont want to change it, even if I change it im sure the problem with come to me again in other roms, so help me fix this
Android closes apps when it is low on memory (RAM).
I don't think its related to that, I have plenty of ram when that happens, besides, closing all background apps at once?
and why does this always happen when I open a web browser?

I just told you in my previous reply.
Maybe that web browser uses all the memory.
Or does it happen with every web browser?

I don't have alot of apps running in background, 2GB of RAM and still its not enough for a web browser and a music player beside 5 or 6 other apps that each of 'em need 60 to 70mb of RAM? That's strange
I tried 3 or 4 different web browsers, Chrome, Stock web browser, Firefox, and some other browsers... all the same
This guy also has the same problem:

Maybe one of your apps causes the issues. After all, you changed several ROMs (clean wiped I assume) and the only constant would be the user apps you always install/restore after a flash.

Yes, always clean and wiped install.
Well, I don't use any battery monitoring or task managing app, but good point, let me check my apps again.
Nope, checked again, no suspicious app... non that I think have something to do with this problem

Go one by one and install and uninstall apps, while repeatedly trying to run the ones you stated in your first post. If there is an app causing that problem, just try doing some old fashioned process of elimination.
