Home and messaging keep shutting down!

its happening alot in using cyanogen 1.4.11 on a 32b magic.theres a link on the cyanogen website that might fix it but its not working.
bumbum

Can you please explain more? Whats going on with what. That way we can help you

If I want to write a text message (usually when its important ) I click messaging and it doesn't open and crashes, forcing me to quit. The same thing happens when I I exit an app or come out of suspend. Also occupationally when I receive a call my phone doesn't come out of suspend and stays in suspend but the tracker ball remains flashing

this is the fix i wanted to try but the link doesnt work

fix_permissions is already embedded in the cyanogen 4.1.11.1 rom.
just open a terminal window and run the file (assuming you have root).

what do i type in terminal? Im sh1t at it

Me personally would just reflash the Rom>Theme since it sounds like something got corupted some how

I did a fresh install and the first thing I got on top on the android begin screen was "the application datatraker (process com.fvd.datatracker) has stopped unexpectedly please try again"

And you cleared your ext3 first?

I didn't know it was needed. Formatted and reinstalled now

[Q] Source not found in Eclipse

Hey there,
I started developing Android Applications a few days ago.
Now, I wrote a Program wich is about to call a new class/activity.
But always when I launch the Program and it want to call the new activity, the errormsg "Source not found" occurs in the debugger.
I created the class with a leftclick on the existing class-file -> new -> class.
I know, the Internet is full with informations about "Source not found" but i didn't find any informations about exactly this issue.
Would be nice, if someone could tell me, what I did wrong...
Thx and greez Visosilver

Please elaborate on what you are doing. Does your app start? Does this happen when you are debugging your app?

I imagine that you are debugiing and stepping through the code. If you try to go into a method from the framework you need to attach the source code for the framework otherwise you get the message "Source not found"

[Q] Random reboots - Is there a log I can view?

Hey all,
running CM7 (in particular this), and have always experienced these random reboots since I rooted/ROM'd etc.
I have worked out it is to do with 3G/4G data connection and/or swapping back to 2G to save battery or something along those lines. I have tried different radios, but not other ROMs (dont particularly want to change ROM).
My question is, is there a log file or some sort of diagnostic i can run to see exactly the cause so i can better find a fix/report the bug?
Cheers.

Ye, just write su than logcat > /sdcard/logcat.txt in terminal emulator this will save the logcat to the logcat.txt file, you can than copy that to your pc and see what happened before the reboot.

I'm going to try and provide a log too. Problem is, I usually only notice it after a while, when I take my phone and see that it has rebooted and waiting for PIN.

Thanks man, will do this very soon and post my log (if thats ok? and if there isnt anything personal in there)
EDIT: Holy c***. its 14,500 lines of code... what should I be looking for?

I have found there are several errors relating to GTalk (which i never/cant use). I didnt realise I hadnt Frozen this with Titanium Backup, so I have done that now.
I was also getting errors relating to sqlite and the Market, but not sure this is causing any reboots as yet, the error was as follows:
Code:
I/Database(12351): sqlite returned: error code = 0, msg = Recovered 8 frames from WAL file /data/data/com.android.providers.downloads/databases/downloads.db-wal
I will see if I get any more reboots and let everyone know, but I suggest freezing GTalk as a start if you are getting reboots.

FWIW the culprit in my case was SKYPE

Really! Interesting. Did you uninstall or freeze?

Also, I can tell you that freezing GTalk definitely has reduced the number of reboots, but not eliminated it. I have just tried uninstalling Skype (I never use it anyway) as wintermute000 suggested, and will follow up again in a few days.

Uninstalling Skype has greatly helped. Thanks wintermute000!

No worries. I just run skype when I need and exit fully when done, no need to freeze or uninstall

You can redirect stdio (will increase logcat events):

sometimes dmesg it's useful too...

How to diagnose a Settings error ...

Hi - I was wondering if I could get some assistance in an issue I'm experiencing please.
I'm trying to diagnose a particular "Unfortunately, Settings has stopped" error message and why I'm getting it - and I'm trying to use this as a stepping stone into getting back into Android programming.
I've had a look at the logcat logs and can't see anything that particularly matches that particular string, but I see a section that starts with
"[ 02-27 23:55:51.509 28773:29176 E/AndroidRuntime ]
FATAL EXCEPTION: pool-1-thread-1
java.lang.OutOfMemoryError"
Could someone tell me if this is indicative of that "Settings has stopped" error please ?
If so, then I do not see a line that gives a "Caused by" reason - is there any further diagnostics that I can do without having to resort to a full system restore ?
Thanks in advance.

Well an Out of memory error will cause a force close, so it should be the cause for the message you see. Out of memory means your app is trying to get more ram that it is allowed by the system. Most of the time this happens when dealing with large bitmaps (perhaps forgot to recycle them?) or in an infinite loop.
You'll have to manually debug the thread to see where the problem is.

Hi - many thanks for responding.
I'm sort of cheating a bit as I'm trying to diagnose a bug not of my own making - i.e. I haven't actually written an application - I've downloaded a few apps from the Google Play store and one (or more !) is causing them to crash with the aforementioned error when I go into Settings->Apps and I'm trying to localise which application it is.
As it was really bugging me I've since factory reset my phone, and the problem appeared when I installed the latest version of the Shazam app. More worrying is that I've uninstalled the app and carried out a power cycle of the phone and the issue is still appearing - which means either that :
a) Shazam has somehow corrupted the OS and the phone requires another rebuild
b) It's not Shazam
Unfortunately I have no idea on how to take this further

[Q] Problem getting started on Android Studio

Hey guys,
I have been having trouble getting started developing applications for android. I know how to use Java, and frequently use the netbeans ide for my java homework ect. But I decided why not adventure out and build upon what I learned in school. Unfortunately I have ran into nothing but problems. The first problem is this:
"Gradle project sync failed. Basic functionality (e.g editing, debugging) will not work properly. "
In the messeages window it reads:
[file path to \app\build.gradle]
Failed to Find: com.android.support:appcompact-v7:21+
I have had trouble using grade in eclipse....well I only got eclipse to work once, when I first got my phone, and managed to make a small pop-up app for my self. I did not know any programming language at the time. I merely just copy and pasted most of the code.
and problem number two;
The generated code is riddled with errors?
I look through most of these errors and they state that certain things can be resovled. For example, cant resolve "support" <--- I think that by not having this imported correctly (I think this falls into the first problem) is causing the rest of the errors in my MainActivity file to go crazy.
Is their any way to post more information? Like a log file, maybe that might be of more help too. I just am unfamiliar with Android Studio, as of right now. Attached is a picture of the IDE when is spawns the error.
Thanks for the help in advance!

Ok guys, I figured it out. We need to install a package from the sdk manager. The picture shows which one needs to be installed. The package is "Android Support Repository"

Seems you have already gotten the answer. But for this kind of questions, past the main line of the error log into Google is much faster than post a question, I think.
