Can't Preview in Gmail

FIXED!!! SEE END OF POST.
Using the latest RC30 mod from JesusFreke, everything works swell (cache to sd card, autorotate, multitouch, etc).
However I can't preview anything but .txt files in gmail! If I try to preview a .doc or .pdf file it crashes (Gmail has stopped unexpectedly) every time.
Not sure what is causing it, I believe it should be calling HTML Viewer and then maybe doesn't find it? I can view things with HTML Viewer though (txt files through ASTRO, etc).
I recently installed Linda File Manager as it adds a plugin to the Browser that enables the downloading of any content, however I've removed this app (and ASTRO) but haven't seen any results. I also reset the "defaults" on pretty much all involved apps.... At the moment I can't view pdfs through gmail and I really need to for work.
Any ideas?
Thanks

hey did you find a fix for this?? im experiencing the same exact thing....

concerning pdfs I had the same experience...
I noticed that my test license of jetcet pdf had expired. I uninstalled, reinstalled...
and it works again.
I am on JF 1.4.1 RC8

I fixed the problem by loading a nandroid backup from the previous day. then i opened gmail and when it asked me what default viewer i would like to use I chose HTML viewer
although it gave me the option of setting ASTRO instead. what i dont get is, why didn't the problem go away after i reset all programs to default and uninstalled ASTRO? mmaybe i should have restarted or something.

im on a stock rc 30 so im guessing id have to get root with one of JFs modded roms before i can do that nandroid? the jetcet program solved the pdf issue but im still force closing when trying to preview docs....html viewer opens independently but not through gmail...really annoying!

i would suggest clearing your defaults for gmail.... also root gives you nandroid yes but yu also need the sdk to flaah the backups. use mybackup as well!

no defaults are set....i guess i have to root to get it to work...

My problem came back! I uninstalled ASTRO, rebooted, and it is still here. No defaults to clear.
Using JF's version of RC33 now.

Also: you don't need root to reset defaults, but if you know how to do it via CLI, tell me! I can't fix it and I am afraid that if I go back to my old backup, update to RC33, it will come back!

getting really frustrated with this...im on a stock rc33 now and i still cant preview docs with html viewer through gmail....i have no idea what to do...i've reset the defaults and nothing?? does anyone have any other possible solutions?
thanks.

Still having the same problem.... I thought it was astro but it wasn't... what do we do?

Yeah, I don't even have Astro installed and it's having this problem. I have Linda File Manager and UnZip installed and that's about all I see that might be interfering...
Not only can I not view PDFs through Gmail, but I can't view any attachments at all.
I hope we find a fix for this...

Hey maybe it's Linda! I did have that installed a while back. I'm gonna do a nandroid backup and the reflash and see what happens.

Well I reflashed (finally got time) and the problem persists--- although I didn't install Linda. Astro is installed, but since you don't have it installed, it must be something else.
Very frustrating; it takes an hour to rebuild my phone (I could just re-flash the backup, but still) and I really want to see this problem resolved.

OKAY I FOUND WHAT CAUSES THE CRASH!!!!
It is an app called download crutch/download crutch lite.
It is a useful app, lets you download files from the browser that it might not recognize (ie zip files).
Anyways uninstall it, then delete the gmail storage/gmail settings from the app uninstaller--- then search for a .doc or .pdf file.
worked for me.
if you DO NOT have this app installed, then I have no idea. This worked for me on a clean install!!!
thanks

Google account problem

Hey
I'm using Azure ROM with google apps, but I can't connect to my Google account. I always get a "no connection" message, or something like that, but the internet connection works in all the other apps.
I had a similar problem on the stock ROM - the only app that worked was the browser (on 3G).
I don't care about the emails, I can use the email app for that, I just need the market. All the QR codes lead to the market
Maybe someone should suggest a good website where I can find a lot of apk's to download.

Anyone ?
btw which facebook app do you use ? I tried 2, but none of them works.

Reset the phone, same thing happened to me after i tried to install flash on my Legend! Google app saver .apk and install it with HTC Sync, and that'll save all your apps!

U mean factory reset ? It didn't work on the stock ROM, I don't think it would work now... did you have the same problem as me ?
What is Google app saver ? I didn't find no such thing.
btw I don't have HTC sync, because I don't use Windows and I don't use the HTC ROM anymore.

I meant to actually Google the word AppSaver!Here The factory reset fixed the Google apps problem, but i dont use Facebook but can't comment on that!

Yeah, I found it later. But I have all my apps installed on my SDcard so I don't think I need it.
Maybe I'll try factory reset, but I just downloaded a ton of .apk's so I don't really need it right now.

WTF ? I just did a factory reset and it WORKED. Thanks, dude.
Didn't work on the stock ROM.

[Q] YOUTUBE PROBLEM IN NexusHD2-Froyo V1.9b NAND??

First of all, i want to thank all developers for their huge fantastic work they did.
i have flashed my HTC HD2 to NexusHD2-Froyo V1.9b NAND... it's really great. but YouTube application doesn't work. when i start it , this messege appear " Sorry, The application YouTube (process com.google.android.youtube) has stopped unexpectedly. please try again."
what can i do??!! help me please

Uninstall it and then download it again from the Market. I think you'll need something with root privileges, like Titanium Backup, to uninstall it.
Just out of curiosity, have you literally just flashed the ROM and immediately YouTube didn't work, or have you had the ROM for a while? I only ask because I flashed that same ROM this morning and YouTube works fine for me.
Edit: I just saw your other thread stating that Market doesn't work for you. Bear with me a few minutes and I'll post the YouTube apk from my phone.

I don't think you're going to have much luck, in that case. You can try this anyway, just in case it is an app issue.
You'll need the Android SDK installed on your PC, since you can't access the Market and download apps for moving files. With the SDK comes a debugging tool, DDMS, that gives you file access to the device memory. You can the use that to copy files to and from the phone. (There's also a command-line app that you can use, but the debug tool does just the same job and is easier.)
If you want to go down this route, get the SDK installed and let me know when that's done - I'll explain the rest then.
Otherwise, you could just download this apk and run it - see what happens!

[PROBLEM] 3rd Party Camera Apps Didn't Work!

Ok, it's weird. I'm on Froyo JSD stock and also tried out other 2.2.1 ROM like JS8. Gingerbread ROMs didn't have this problem.
Third party camera apps like CamTranslator, Mobile Hidden Camera, Barcode Scanner, or any apps using camera gave me error accessing camera. When I opened the camera app itself, it works fine, no error whatsoever.
At first, I just solved it with keeping Daily Briefing and Email autostart because I found that these two apps trigger the problem. But now it's back even I defrosted the two apps and keep them running. Weird, isn't it? What's the problem? Any idea. Already installed fresh JSD and JS8, the same problem occured, Daily Briefing and Email must keep running at startup.

Anyone??

Try another ROM?

Already tried all Froyos. I don't want Gingerbread.

Have the same problem. You have to restore stock e-mail client and wipe this app data - reboot, and should solve the problem.

If you really have removed the stock email app (did not read that anywhere and would not make sense keeping it in autostart, would it?) you could use this libcamera.so (replacing libcamera.so only is enough, be sure to make a backup copy) - Im using it with JSD and it works fine.
Asked what has been done to this lib some days ago but no answer yet.
Just posting in case it might be useful but does not seem to be a solution if you are using a complete stock rom...

[Q] What to do when apps just stoped behave properly???

Hi guys ... I'm not sure, whether it's just me as a person or my NOOK, but with every new thing I try, I get something strange :
My apps (Market, Youtube, Opera) stopped working properly :
- market doesn't search any more
- Youtube wont start
- Opera starts, load it self and after 1 sec it just stops working/jumps to home screen.
What I did was changing the uImage from NST-kernel v0.1. Tried it but it seemed like that multitouch didn't work - just seemed - it did what was proved by angry birds that I've installed just to test it.
But since then NONE of those three apps mentioned above worked properly. Even when I restore my backup (that I did few weeks ago right after I've followed minimaltouch) ... this behaviour still continues. After deleting all the partitions and restoring the backup I still have the SAME PROBLEM ?!
How is that possible even after backup - and not changing the uImage again ??? What could have caused it ??? Any idea how to get rid of it ??? Thanks for any advice.
My NOOK is 1.1 - I didn't update to 1.1.2 yet.

Hi, are you shure you haden't this problems before? I'm also experiencing problems with the market search, so I use this app
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.firezenk.msplus
Regarding Opera, how have you installed it? If it got installed by one of the rooting tools it is missing some libraries. Uninstall it and reinstall it directly from the market.
Regarding multitouch, have you edited "/etc/permissions/required_hardware.xml" like it is described in the thread?

Thank you for your fast response mali100.
1. now you made me unsure. As I did have "searchmarket" installed as well, but I'm fairly sure, that I've installed the ES file Explorer and Opera directly from the MARKET.
2. Directly from the market (I was using CWM minimal touch, which I think doesn't include Opera). Even after uninstalling and installing again from Market - the fault persist.
3. No, I didn't do this. I thought that after "arkusuma" changed the uImage, then it wasn't needed. But Angry Birds worked (zoom) - I'll do that in the next try as I did a factory reset and will go through the whole process(minTouch CWM) again to see, whether youtube will work !?!?!
Still it's a big mystery to me why this stayed like this after restoring ?!

I think the search issues may be related to googles changes to the market, now known as google play store. Market search worked for me, but I decided to make a clean start with 1.1.2 and used MinimalTouch and since then my Market doesn't search, but as mentioned before, this could be also the result of changes made by google.
The MinimalTouch I used had Opera Mobile integrated, and it showed the exact same behaviour that you described, but a reinstall solved this for me.
Mulitouch works on my device (and on at least on other from which I know) with my NST-kernel v0.1.

When things don't work, adb logcat is a good start.

adb logcat is a good start.

Would a logcat from an app running on the nook help as well ??? I still didn't get to ADB ... its one of my later homework after I'll format my laptop.

Besides the hassle of installing the Android SDK, ADB is easy.
I guess that you could write an app or script to capture the log but it's hardly worth the effort.
Things not starting will definitely show up in the log.
The intents system is fairly complicated.
Besides, when you do get ADB working you can test stuff like:
Code:
am start -d file:///sdcard/start.htm -t text/html

Well ... I did a lot of stuff :
1. unregistered the device / factory reset
2. apply minimal touch from the begging. As it is a 2 step process - in the first process Youtube works fine. But after the second process the first app I run was Youtube = NOT working. I've installed Opera and same problem ... just loads and as soon as it should picture the first welcome page, it turns back to HOME screen.
3. I got upset - use MiniTool Partition Wizard to wipe all the partitions, erased everything on the Nook by writing "0" through the whole nook ... and then write the backup image of my nook, when I first got it (untouched).
4. Used minimal touch again ... and YOUTUBE not working, Opera jumping to HOME screen ?!?!
How is this possible ??? Is it that by wiping the whole partitions and erasing the Nook there is still something that is not touched ??? (like when you have Swype, do a factory reset, then you can't type as you are missing keyboard ???)

uninstall opera and reinstall it from the market, or try opera mini.

Forgot to do that = worked for Opera Mobile ... Opera MINI will not load (but now I don't care with Mobile running)
Thanks Mali100 for repeated suggesting (reminding) of reinstalling. Thank you.
PS : Having found this thread (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1553908&highlight=market+search) where RubenRybnik describes similar problems.

I had the same problem with youtube. I just uninstalled it and reinstalled it with adb push and now it works again.

hi all ,
I am also facing the same prob. My opera Mini starts and then crash ............
But I am able to make market search.
I uninstalled the OPERA and installed again many times, but nothing changed ..........
any solutions.......

Mini still doesn't work for me, but mobile does.
It is quite interesting that you can do the search on market ?! I'm wondering what you have different then the rest of us ?
