i want to get up and start using mobitv since i just got it..
i opened it the first time and it loaded good and asked me to update in order to continue so i did.
and now everytime i open it up i get a blank black screen, and sometimes a notification saying that i need a connection to get started. but i have my wifi and my data connections already connected so i dont see what the problem is.
anyone care to help? i tried searching but all it gave me was threads about asking where to download mobitv
reboot the phone.. or did you do it already?
yeah i already did countless times.. lol this is like the only app that isnt working for me for some reason.
umm.. i think you should take back to tmobile.. and tell them the application doesnt work, dont just stay quite talk to them they should solve the problem or they will give you a new one.
so i should take it back just cause mobitv isnt working? theres gotta be something else lol.
well i don't know about you..but ill want my hd2 without any problems i don't want to mess something up they'll do the job for me. but i don't know maybe somebody in here know what is going on with you hd2.

I had the same problem. Do a HARD reset, (see wiki). This should fix your problem.

Sorry, dual post.
My wife flashed her hero to the official sprint 2.1. She had never rooted or flashed a custom rom before, so her going to the official 2.1 didn't really bother me much. However, now she's running into an issue with her data not working. A couple days ago she noticed she wasn't getting her e-mail. Strangely enough, mine quite working too (I'm on fresh 2.1.1). I rebooted my phone and mine started working. So I went to her wireless and network settings and turned off her data. I then turned it back on and after 30 seconds or so it said it was connected and everything started working just fine.
The strange part is there are no errors and even when the phone tries to check e-mail, it doesn't report any errors. Now, on my phone when this happened, my HTC Mail app threw a fit because it couldn't connect to the exchange server. Since I could refresh my gmail account and got no errors I thought it was just our exchange server. I signed into my account on my PC (for exchange) and it was in fact working fine. After I rebooted (just this one time as mentioned above) gmail kicked off with new mail and exchange connected fine.
Today, she has told me 3 times now that she went in and reset the connection (turn it off and back on) and a while later it would quit working again. She turns her phone off every night, but for good measure I am having her reboot it now.
Anyone else have this issue? She never had this problem on 1.5, so I don't think it's hardware. I've only had the issue once, but I'm also not in her area right now (tower related, maybe? My data borked when I was at home where she is at right now).
Thanks

This does seem like a tower problem. However, if you want to troubleshoot, you could always reset your data settings via the Sprint ## codes.
For data, enter this code: ##3282# on your Dial Pad. Give it a second and it'll ask if you want to view or edit your settings. Trouble shooting this problem would mean you have to Edit the settings, but in order to edit them you need your MSL code, which can be obtained by either contacting Sprint CS and asking them for it; or you can search around here on XDA and I'm pretty sure some people posted other ways to get your code.
Once you have your MSL code, choose edit when you get the pop up window and then click on your menu button -- there should be an option for you to choose reset -- enter your MSL code and your phone will reboot.
This may or may not fix your problem; I've had success whenever I've had data problems.
Hey thanks! I did a search for MSL and found a thread with a procedure to get it through CDMA workshop but the drivers don't want to work with Windows 7 x64.
However, my wife was complaining the other day that it takes a long time for her phone to start ringing when someone calls. I think I'll call sprint tonight when I get home and just tell them I need to fix that and see if they give me the MSL... Might kill two birds with one stone.

On the taking a long time to ring:
1) Move the ringtone off the SDcard into the phone, in some cases the SD card is to slow to read it fast enough. - Worked for a buddy of mine
2) There is a polling rate you can set when you get the MSL - but I have heard sprint forces a particular rate from the tower even if the phone has one set. - This will also decrease battery life.

This may be too obvious of an answer, but have you tried using the device self service tool and updating your profile and prl?

No problem, hope everything works out.
I had the same problem, took it to the sprint store (Waste of time!) and ended up hard resetting it, seems to have fixed the problem. you can hard reset by turning off the phone and then holding down the end, back and home buttons and selecting "clear storage" or "clear user data" (sorry, can't remember the exact wording). It will completely reset the software but it will wipe the data off your phone.
I got her MSL code via the logcat method that was just recently posted and reset her data and also changed her slot index. Although some people say that it is overridden at the tower, I also changed her priority. I updated her PRL as well. Before, it was ringing after I would hear about 3.5 rings, sometimes 4 full rings. Now it's ringing on the second ring. Also, her data was essentially turning off after about 30 minutes. After doing all of the above, she is saying it hasn't stopped working yet.
Thanks for all the suggestions, looks like it might be fixed.
Well it's still not fixed. She has it happen a couple times a day and now my phone is doing it too. It's not happening consistently that I can tell, just seems to randomly stop working.
Also, I'm on Fresh 2.1.2 and I'm getting some really really bad lag. I don't use any custom ringtones, just the ones that came with the phone and sometimes my phone will start to ring and the only way I know is because the vibrate starts. Then a good 3 seconds later I'm still getting a black screen as the phone is trying to tell me who it is.
I will randomly pick up my phone to surf the web too and it won't respond or do anything for like a good 10 - 15 seconds. I open up ES Task Manager and usually one of the mail apps is trying to update with like a 5% - 10% cpu usage, but that's all that has any CPU percentage. I'm not really sure what to try next. I've removed some apps that I don't really use and a couple that I just recently installed just to see if they are the culprit.
I'm using the Launcher Pro Beta too. Maybe that's it?
I've had a similar issue... only happened to me a couple of times since the update though... but I've just been turning "airplane" mode on and then off it turns off the radio and then turns it back on... seems to have worked for me...
again.. for me it's only happened a couple of times since the update to 2.1 so it could be a different issue.
I never thought of airplane mode. Doing what her and I are doing just reconnects data, not turning the radio on and off. I'm going to have her try that next and see if that fixes it. She says that she turns the phone off every night, but maybe she isn't some nights.
Not good... From the start, Radio Shack and Sprint Servers took almost 2 hrs to activate my phone and accept my Gift Card. After everything was all said and done, I was playing with the phone downloaded the updated however I didnt install it just yet.
I rebooted the phone, and now it is stuck in an endless reboot cycle... I get the Sprint logo which transitions into the 4G one and plays the little tone; Non-Stop.
All I did was tried popping in my Droid 16GB SD card and it started happening... on my way to RS now to replace. WTF ! ERRR
UPDATE: After further discussion it looks like the issue was with Exchange Server Accounts and Pin/Passwords. Continue reading the thread for more discussion
HTC is aware of the issue and will be addressing in a future update. For the time being there are two ways to bypass the reboot/restart endless cycle.
1) When creating a PIN/Password include at least one Alpha character in your password; i.e "dad1" "1223x" "bobby23", etc...
OR
2)

I FOUND A FIX TO EVERYONE'S ISSUE
Like the poster above me said, that is exactly the reason that this works.
Here's what you have to do to get exchange server hooked up normally and not have a constant reboot!
Follow these steps and you will not have any problems.
1.) Hard reset your phone (VOLUME DOWN + POWER with the phone off)
You will have to go down to "CLEAR DATA", it will ask you to confirm.
2.) Let the phone reboot, everything will be erased. Setup your exchange and google account.
WHEN YOU CHOOSE A PASSWORD, USE A NUMBER AND A LETTER
3.) Go to the market place and search for "No Lock". Download it. Install it. Run it.
4.) Press the middle button to make the phone no longer require a lock.
Voila! I just did this and it works perfect!
OP you might want to put this in the first thread you posted so other people know about it without having to go through all these pages.

Credit goes to Marc and Trip - Thanks guys.
That straight sucks yo...I didn't download the update at all. I hope your radio shack is better than mine. They had a total of 4 shipped to them, and they were all pre-ordered.
Damn it, and that's what I'm afraid of...
What's to do if this is the case at my RS. Also have you tried rebooting, and if its not too much trouble try tossing in another SD Card, then reboot
UPDATE: While typing this I was able to hard reset (Vol Up + power button)and it looks like its working... If I can duplicate the problem im gonna take it back, if not i'll keep it and keep a close eye for the next 30 days
Did you try pulling the battery?
Yup, tried pulling battery and everything...
I was able to duplicate the problem and its as followed;
Fresh EVO w/ 8GB Stock card.
Power Off using Off Button
Battery pull and insert Droid 16GB SD Card
Power On Via Button Causes restart
Only way to stop this from happening is a hard reset (Vol Up + Power Button)
What's weird is that when I do a hard reset with the 16gb droid sd card, the EVO starts up just fine and i am able to access my SD Card with all files without issues.
I'm gonna try doing the same procedures with the 8GB card to see if that causes the same problem - if so, it leads me to believe this is a permissions/mounting issue with the EVO that I'm assuming the bug/update fix takes care of. (I have still not yet installed the update in fear ROOT will not be accessible after the update)
Jason
UPDATE 1: Using the same instruction above, however going from the 16GB to 8GB the phone restarts fine with no reboot cycle.
UPDATE 2: Same instructions going from 8gb back to 16gb is now fine.... seems like the phone wanted to read the 16gb first - im confused *SCRATCHING HEAD*
I had the exact same issue with a brand new EVO that I accepted the OTA update (a Sprint rep confirmed that the update was specifically to address the SD card issue).
After the update installed and unit rebooted, it went into an endless cycle. I had to hard reset, and the device is in the process of Hands Free Activation. Will update when I have more info.
Mine is doing it with and without the memory card. F(@#& now i have to go back to the damn store! UGH!
It also started doing this after i did the upgrade.
khov,
I'm downloading the update each time I had to hard reset, however I am not installing it... Were you doing the same ?
OK GUYS, seems the issue at least for me was something with exchange server. After i connect to my exchange server it gives me this endless reboot.
here's how to fix it and start over. Press and hold VOLUME DOWN and POWER BUTTON until a screen comes up, at that screen select clear data
it will reset your phone to factory but that's better than a rebooting phone.
Trip !
You're a genius! It seems that after I initially did the hard reset, I didn't setup my exchange account. After I thought everything was all fine and dandy, I setup my exchange account started reading the replies and found Trip's findings...
Low and behold, without tampering with the SD Card, I rebooted (after i setup my exchange account) and now it has me in an endless reboot. FACK !
Anyone else please verify. Add Exchange account and restart...
It's the password that Exchange makes you set up.
Turn off "Require Password" on your Exchange ActiveSync Mailbox Policy under Client Access.

Thanks for the suggestions but this should not be necessary ! WTF. Who should I be pissed off at, HTC or my IT department for requiring a password.
What's weird is when I had an iPhone, I was required to put a password. When I switched to the Droid, It never prompted me for one. Now that I've switched to the EVO, its asking me for one but casues these endless reboots.
Like Trip, I cannot ask my IT dept to remove the use of a lock code. I work for a City Government that shares lots of data sensitive material via email (I know, dumb right) and I NEED access to it.

Sprint or Google is to blame here. It's Sprint's build of 2.1 that has the problem. I talked to them today and they acknowledge the problem and say that the fix won't come until 2.2 is released.
Everyone needs to call Sprint and complain in order to have a fix pushed out sooner than the 2.2 release date.
In the meantime, someone give TouchDown a shot and let us know if that is a feasable workaround or not. I would but I've already turned the password policy off for my account on my Exchange server.
I made this happen to a demo unit I was playing with (while the rep at Radio Shack continued to try to activate my phone - took nearly 2 hours to complete).
I was playing with HTC Sense's "Scenes" feature. I believe I was switching scenes too quickly, it automatically rebooted itself, and as soon as it started up again and got to the lock screen, I tried to use it and it rebooted again. I allowed it to reboot, and instead of immediately trying to unlock the screen, I let it sit and fully load, and it worked properly.
I don't know what the issue is, but I have yet to experience it with my own Evo... yet.

Wow.. suck.
I guess I got a rare one. The dude I talked to actually listened, put me on hold to speak with colleagues, and then confirmed and added my number to some list of affected people.
Hmm I just got off the phone with a Tech Support rep who sounded like he knew what he was talking about.
According to him, there are two UPDATES, an HTC system update (SD card issue) and a Firmware Update (fixes exchange issue)... he told me to go and manually check for updates - one of these should fix the issue ? does this sound legit /
For the past 48 hours I have been having problems downloading anything from the UK market? Everything stops at 'Starting download'. It had been working fine until then and I uninstalled the few apps I had recently installed to see if that was the problem but no joy.
When I turned my phone on this morning it downloaded all the updates I had been trying to get yesterday so I assumed it was working. When I then tried to download some more updates the problem was there again. Any ideas why this is happening?
I am running Cronos 2.1.3
I had the same problem yesterday. Rebooting the phone did nothing. However, I saw a post that said switching on airplane mode and then disabling it might work. Fortunately, it did. Hope it does for you.
o thought it was jsut me. Although the problem fixed itself after a reboot, and is fine now.
Running VillainROM 10.3.
I thought it had somethign to do with my phones low storage.
Android Marketplace
Is anyone still having problems downloading today?
I've just got back Hero back after HTC fixed the screen so I'm looking to reinstall all my apps - however nothing will download at all. I've tried WiFi, 3G, rebooting the phone, switching airplane mode on/off, logging in & out of googletalk & also hard resetting.
Still all I get is "starting download" and nothing else.
I can't see of anything else to try.

Thanks. Seems to have worked. I found that I had to leave airplane mode on for a while before turning off. If I turn it off and then straight back on doesn't seem to work
This is now getting stranger and stranger.
I left the phone overnight and awoke to find that about half a dozen apps that I'd previously downloaded (they show in my download list but not currently installed as the phones been wiped) had actually downloaded and installed without any problems at all.
The other half dozen or so apps haven't downloaded yet. And the ones that I actually told it to download also haven't.
I've left the phone for another 6-7 hours this morning while I was out .... and still nothing has downloaded. I've got 2 things that say "starting download" and that's it.
Yeah - I'm back to having the problem again. I'll try turning airplane mode on for a while. This is really strange. I wonder if we have not installed the same application (or an update) that caused this. I think most recently I installed the latest Evernote. Did you happen to do that as well?

In a post in this thread http://android.modaco.com/content/t-mobile-pulse-pulse-modaco-com/315840/android-market-resolved/ someone claims that this is the fix:
Turns out google have screwed up some (if not all) UK accounts with the switch to GMail.
The fix is simple. Change your account from @googlemail to @gmail, wait an hour (recommend 2) then factory reset your phone, sign into your google account (@gmail) and your good to go
You can change your account from @googlemail to @gmail in the GMail setting (On a desktop computer not a phone) The option is in tiny writing

I was having the market problem from Thursday to Sunday last week, changing my Google account to @gmail.com and doing a factory reset (I didn't read anything about the 2 hour wait, so skipped that step) fixed it for me. The other potential fixes I read about like opening GTalk, turning Airplane mode on and off did nothing for me.
I had the same problem. I tried wiping cache from recovery and applications menu. In the end I juts re-flashed after a Titanium backup which solved the issue. I was running VillainROM 12
I have changed my email from @googlemail to @gmail, done a factory reset and the market seems to be working. A PITA: thanks Google
Yeah - I've got a U.K. googlemail address. I was a little hesitant to switch from googlemail to gmail because I thought people had a lot of problems with that. Do your paid apps get transferred?

By factory reset, do you mean a full wipe? So I'd have to install all my apps again?

Hey guys,
just got a Nexus 4 yesterday and it looks like I can't login to Facebook Messenger with my new phone. I am able to use Facebook messenger on my other Android devices with no issues.
Even the main Facebook app loads and runs just fine, but everytime I load up Messenger I get a "Something went wrong. Please try again." error.
I've uninstalled, reinstalled. Installed old versions, cleared app data and cache. Tried on stock and CM10.1 nightlies. Nothing. Even changed my password to something simpler, in case it didn't like the special characters. But nope.
Google would suggest a mix match of people having this issue and no resolution.
Anyone came across this issue and found a solution?
Have you found a fix for this yet? Mine has been the same since I got it on the 9th of April. Works flawlessly on my N10 and worked on my S2 as well.

Nope. I've posted this issue on Reddit Nexus 4 sub too. I've emailed [email protected] but I'm not hopeful. Hopefully there'll be a fix. But yeah, somehow it's an app + hardware combination. I get the same issue with my wife's login. Facebook app OK, messenger not OK. But don't have any issues with any other device.
I have the exact same issue on my n4. Fb app work, messenger and pages don't. Works on n7, tf300t, xperia arc etc. I can get messenger to work using old release though. Still not ideal, but try 1.8.002 release.
Very frustrating fb please fix asap

Thanks for that. I tried a few other 2.X releases which didn't work, but the 1.8.002 release you suggested does indeed work for me too. I got it from: http://www.androiddrawer.com/1954/download-messenger-1-8-002-app-apk for anyone else having the same issue.
I emailed Facebook support back when I started this thread, and still heard nothing back. I expect a copy/paste response when I do though.
Thanks mversion and Clemoly!
Just an update that the newly released version (2.6.1) doesn't work either. Instead of giving a "something went wrong" error, it just continuously takes me back to the CONTINUE AS "FB NAME" screen. My last hope is that Jelly Bean 4.3 fixes it. But probably not.

I had a chance to install Facebook Messenger on a colleague's Nexus 4 (he didn't have it previously installed, nor does he have a Facebook account) and lo and behold, I was able to sign in with my own credentials.
So I thought I'd format my Nexus, start fresh and install Facebook Messenger before I installed anything else, including the Facebook main app. Well, I STILL GET THE DAMN SOMETHING WENT WRONG ERROR. The peculiar thing is that it didn't even get to the stage where it would send me a verification SMS (Facebook's 2-step verification feature), it just said something went wrong and that's it.
Somehow, just somehow, this feels like a hardware related thing. I don't know, but I think I am going to offer my colleague some money to swap our Nexus!
Im getting it on my Nexus 5 and 7 too
yeah, im getting the same thing on my n5.
I have this problem on my LG G2 and this is the only thread i've been able to find that relates to Android. I got this problem when the new update with the design changes rolled out about 5 days ago. Does anyone know a solution to fix the problem? I've tried all the usual, clearing data & cache, uninstalling, restarting my phone but nothing.
It looks like I have found the solution.
Step 1. Turn phone off
Step 2. Take out your SIM card
Step 3. Turn on phone
Step 4. Be amazed and shed tears of joy when you sign in to Messenger and it goes through without a hitch
You can then turn off your phone again, reinsert your SIM card, turn your phone back and so on and so forth. It's been almost an hour and it is still working for me where I'm able to send and receive messages. Freaking hell, something I haven't been able to do since May this year!
I discovered this fix by accident when I updated the Facebook Messenger app on my-now replaced by the 5-Nexus 4 and just for the sake of it thought I'd give signing in a go. I was surprised that it worked. Naturally I tried it with the Nexus 5 and it worked too.
Happy days.
somehow I ended up doing a double post.

If I could give you rep every day for the next year I would! Thank you so much.
I've also found that the above solution also works by toggling airplane mode instead of taking the sim card in and out, if you wish.

I still have the problem. The FB Messenger and FB Pages Manger both stops working as soon as I change network. I mean from 4G to Wi-FI or Wi-Fi to 4G.
