Two days before the Google I/O I started noticing a new "Report" button whenever a Application would force closed. At first I thought it was a new feature of bTunes app until my phone died the same night. After waking up the launcher 2 crashed at boot and the report button was there again. Now thinking this was just some sort of odd temporary feature I just ignored it.
When the Google I/O keynote announced one of the new features would be Application Error Reports, I quickly realized my phone had a Froyo feature. Now the question remain, was this a silent update? Am I the only with 2.1 and this reporting feature? Also all numbers appear the same 2.1 update 1, same base band and kernel number. Thoughts?

I noticed the same thing just today and hadn't ever seen it before.
I wonder if this is some sort of sign that the Market has changed something, rather than a change in our phone's OS?

I actually had messenger crash shortly after the keynote and the report feature was there. I had never seen it before - unsure when it started appearing (running stock 2.1)
Same here, saw it about 2 days ago, but assumed it was part of the app that crashed. While watching the keynote speech I noticed a familiar feature, but after seeing these posts I went back to check, and it is definetly one and the same.
I have been a little supicious last few days, as I had received an out of mem notification while at work, when I hadn't been using my phone. Checking net counter it seemed I had downloaded several MB that I was unaware of.
Are google slowing trickling down froyo to us on the sly?
Has happened to me too, I now get that button whenever something crashes, and just about the same time this change happened my Genie Widget stopped working and I can no longer use it
I think that was built into 2.1.1 I've been seeing that for a while.

I've had this for about 2 days now. I didn't think anything of it at first, and I though it was part of the app itself. Looks like they did do a silent update. Since everyone here's got it, looks like they're going to be quite swift with the whole thing.
I think it is a silent update because I'm rooted on cyanogen and I havent got it. Unless you guys are rooted too

I'm rooted but on stock, I can't tell exactly when it happened, but it was at least 3 days ago.
Nah, Im on CM and have had this for some days and I (supposedly) can not recieve ota of any kind from Google so that would imply it was part of an application update.
I have Enomther's 1.9.2 and I have the report feature
hmmm any specific apps? I haven't had it yet
Yes I've been seeing this too and only in the last week. I just thought certain apps were doing it that had never crashed before.
Could it possibly have been an update to the SDK? So applications compiled since the SDK update have the feature?
maybe we're all having FroYo madness and we're imagining all this because we're getting so crazy from waiting lol jk jk
Maybe it's just part of the market app and it updated itself.
I couldn't reproduce this because I got no app to crash (and i think that's a very nice fact )
May I add: My stock AWS Nexus One has been on a shelf for many weeks since I got my Milestone, while I wait for Canada's first AWS carrier to launch. When I turned it on this weekend SIM-free, it connected to wi-fi and within a few minutes I got a notification of 30something app updates from the Market. I cleared the notification.
But the odd thing was, a few minutes later. I got a little notification "Lookout is scanning Market...", "Scan finished: Market is safe." This is from the Lookout security program and it normally happens every time an app is installed. So it looks like Android silently updated Market in the background and Lookout just happened to catch it and tell me about it.
So... I too suspect this is an updated feature of the Market.
I had believed it is the updates to market and attentant updates to apps that have the new feature enabled.
I've had it happen quite a few times I thought it was a rouge app or something. I started uninstalling stuff. I had it on a couple of apps.
I think the market app got updated
the report feature came up when something force closed yesterday....it was speedtest I think.

Hey guys, I've recently updated to the leaked Froyo update and occured some problems. My phone worked fine the first couple days, but now for the last two my facebook app doesn't work. Ive tried whiping, reinstalling the update, clearing cache for the app, and re logging back into it. The error message I keep getting is:
"An error has occuried while fetching data. [null]"
I've never seen this kind of error before, and can't figure out how to fix it. Any ideas or suggestions? I had CM5.0.6 on before this if that info helps. If you need anything else from lemme know, caz I'm out of ideas
Same problem here. Noticed it today. Even at home with wifi connected, I get that same message on Facebook. Anyone have an idea why. Facebood worked for a couple of days after updating to froyo, then now nothng
i have stock nexus one. started happening to me yesterday
It's not your ROM or phone people having same problem on the hero

btw - tested facebook app on my xperia x10a. gets the SAME error. facebook app problem, probably.
It's definitely a problem with Facebook itself. Most likely due to the changes in privacy settings (again).
ya, wifes cliq has the same issue all day
Yea doesn't work on mine either as of later night...same. " null" error. Strangely, I loaded 'Blue' and it works fine

Wife says her iPhone won't even work, so Facebook screwed something in the API.. Probably making changes so random people have even more access to your information.
Not androids fault. Blame it on facebook. Its on their end.

lol couldnt have been said better ..i started having this too. it just started today..i can get notifications to load correctly and comment and what not,but when i go to neww posts people have put or try to write something on my wall then i get that notification..
Facebook just changed the users privacy settings once again, so that's why.
It's working again today.
Hopefully, with the Android Facebook SDK released yesterday, it won't be too long before we get a really good facebook app like the one on the iPhone (as opposed to the crap we have now).

Ever seen the Windows Mobile Facebook? The current Android one is awesome compared to it.. Never looked at it on the iPhone.
And gee, I was right.. They were adding more "Privacy" settings. Funny how they use the word "Privacy".
Not sure if any of you saw this or not but I trust in Eric Tseng. He's been at Facebook about two weeks and he's already getting stuff done. http://developers.facebook.com/blog/post/385
Btw the error fetching data happens to me too. It happens all the time and they have to end up updating again. Have faith in Tseng!! He just needs more time.
I had that error too, it went away early this morning...
also, I cannot wait to see what the next facebook app has in store with the SDK being released...does this mean our facebook client will equal or even surpase the iPhone one?
even on a stock rom, i still have issues with fb
Facebook app seems to work just fine here (N1 running Froyo). I've tested using both both 3G and WiFi.

anyone else having trouble getting in to fb news feed? ever since yesterday its giving me "an error occured while fetching data [null]"
Not had a problem but wondered what version of Facebook you are using cos I had heard some people had problems after a recent update with 'Facebook for Android'.
If you uninstall it, I think it leaves you with the stock one that came with the phone which seems to work ok.

thats the one im using the one that came with the phone, and its only on the news feed everything else seems to be working fine.
Only problem I am having of late with it is that after reading the first set of statuses and go to click on Older Posts, it won't show me any more as the last two on the list (of the first set) are dates as Jan 1st even though they were posted today.
I just received a "new" (refurb) Nook Color on warranty (serial number starts with 2004) that came with 1.2 stock. I just Manual Nootered it and it's working great except for one thing: "News and Weather," the Google app that comes with the rooting process, crashes on launch. I used to use this every morning to check on headlines. I can't use the widget, either. Does anyone have any suggestions?
it might be because the news and weather app uses your location. you might need to install fakegps in order to get it to work. i have the same problem with seamless but havent taken the time to gifure it out.

I have been having the same problem. Installed FakeGPS but that only fixed the Google Search bar not the News&Weather app. It needs location and there isn't one. Maps etc. has the same problem. Looking for Network-location all the time.
Good (and bad) to know that I'm not alone. What's interesting here is that this never happened on my 1.1 rooted Nook. I wonder if the app has changed that significantly since...

Never happened on mine either. Here is what Gabrialdestruir posted in the Development section:
Known Issues without solutions:
IMEI Force Close -
There is no randomly Generated IMEI in this version. - Apps that close due to lack of IMEI need to be fixed by Developers not users.
Network Location isn't enabled -
Signature Issue again - Work is being done to locate the fix.
Calendar does not sync -
Yet Another Signature Issue - Work is being done to locate the fix.
So do we need a fakeimei app like fakegps? would that even be legal?
Posting on behalf of my coworker, who has the EVO 4G. Ever since his Gingerbread update came out, his phone frequently flashes the "HTC" green icon on a white background, and then all his widgets need to reload their content.
To me it seems SenseUI is crashing, so I said I'd do a little research. The Search button isn't working for me though, so I hope someone can help!
(Oh, and if this is just "the way it is" is there a way for him to go back to stock Froyo without rooting?)
If you get the stock Rom img you put it on the root of the SD card then go into bootloader then wait for it to ask you if you want to update then push volume up for yes and van ha

Yea, I have to admit, that is annoying. Mine only does it when exiting some apps and seems to be very random. Sense doesn't actually crash, it just seems to have to reload, like it was stopped, or closed.
If he is not rooted, their is no way to go back to 2.2 though.

Thanks for the "bad news". Pulling the battery last night helped, he hasn't had any issues yet today. I'm wondering if Sense has a memory leak or if GB is unloading too much of its memory.
I was having the same problem since the OTA, (non-rooted, stock btw) constant Sense restarting when exiting apps or going to the home screen. On another forum thread's suggestion, I removed all task killer apps. In my case these were Android Assistant and Advanced Task Killer. Since removing those apps and rebooting earlier today, I have not seen Sense restart once. Give this a try if applicable and see if it helps.
Edit: As luck would have it, as soon as I posted it happened again after exiting the Amazon App Store.......back to the drawing board.
In my case it is definitely not a task killer, as I am not running any task killers. But it does act like it is shutting down like a task killer would do it. I even tried freeing up memory by uninstalling all system apps that I don't need. I now have more memory available than I ever have, yet it still keeps happening. I have a feeling that it is going to take another update from HTC to fix it.
I'm having the same issue.

If you want to believe the techs on Sprint EVO forum, they say that virus programs such as Lookout are at the root of some of these problems, the phone needs to be reset, and HTC sense requires the data to be erased through the application screen. I have doe the reset, and erase Sense data and still occasionally had the problem. I have now uninstalled Lookout to see if that eliminates the problem
I'm now on my second evo ad the update broke the first one...with the sense constantly crashing and random apps force closing I took it back to the store and demanded a new one...I'll not make the mistake of accepting anymore ota "updates"...

Update, I ran across a post on the Sprint forums in which someone said that HTC claimed that Sense being booted from memory and reloading when you exit some apps was caused by some virus programs. So I shut off Lookout security, and I haven't had the Sense reload problem since, been over a day now.
i dont use lookout and have the same problem. if i run any heavy apps, such as web browsing with many windows or streaming video via the browser, when i go to "home" sense has to restart. it could be just gingerbread shutting sense down to free up resources for heavy apps.
and yes, its bloody annoying.
After playing with it for three days now, I have determined to my own satisfaction that it is indeed an HTC Sense GB problem.
If I turn off all apps that actually do work when running in the background, like Lookout and SystemPanel, I do not get the Sense reload problem. Unfortunately, If I have any program running that is doing things when in the background, Sense gets booted from memory and has to reload. For example, I start a market download, and while waiting for it, I play a game of solitaire. When I exit out of the game, Sense has to reload, and more than likely the app download has to start over.
It appears to me that GB's memory management is just not working as good as it did in Froyo.

I continue to have the problem also. I do not have a virus program as I did I did not install one after my reset to factory. Where do we complain, on the Sprint forum.
This is the post and link to the thread I started on the Sprint forum:
http://community.sprint.com/baw/thread/70794
HTC Sense restarting randomly and changing the wallpaper to one that I never used on my phone, began after the first GB update. It has gotten worse after the recent update. HTC Sense restarts when leaving the market and other apps Dolphin HD Browser and others, but not in every instance.
When the phone is booting up, just before showing the lockscreenit it will show the wallpaper that is the first one in the wallpaper section the colorful one with bubbles. I have never used any of the wallpapers because I have always used the originale scene installed on the phone. Now on several occasions when the phone started it put the Wallpaper on my home screens, but did not change the apps and widgets I had on the Home Pages. Luckily I had saved my scene and was able to get it back.
My phone has been reset to factory twice, initially be me and two days ago by a Sprint tech and a sercive center.
Sprint something continues to be wrong with these updates that is affecting HTC Sense, it is broke. Please, everyone else sith HTC Sense restarting randomly or changing you wallpaper, post and describe your exact problem. Possibly we will get Sprints attention.
I took my phone to Sprint to have the cracked camera lens replaced. Instead of doing just that an idiot savant installed this gingerbread update. Not only did the update delete dozens of programs but it also caused me to have the htc logo splash page appear several times a day. I was not happy when I found out Sprint applied the update & I'm even more displeased now.
It occurs when exiting programs & entering others. However I have not been able to discern a pattern. I do have lookout installed but I do not have any task kllers installed.

Did anyone get the latest security update yet from AT&T?
Looks like it was security patches, but my Messaging and Gallery apps changed.
I am OK with the gallery app, and the Messaging app is OK with the exception the text is pretty damn small! I know you can pinch to zoom, but I am unable to find anyway to keep the ZOOM setting I selected in the new Messaging app, as soon as I back out and go back to a person I was chatting with, the text is back to being small.
Just confirming I'm not the only one with this issue.
Chris
Oh, believe me, you are not alone. Mine is doing the same thing. It is also showing replies to texts in white text boxes with white type. I had to switch my purchased themes 4 times to find one that didn't do this! I also lost the ability to schedule messages, and lost all of my quick responses! This is VERY annoying.
Krista
Ditto here, white text on white background for incoming texts. Exceptionally annoying.
A few people have complained on the AT&T support forums (https://forums.att.com/t5/Samsung-Discussion-Support/Text-bubble-issue/m-p/5452599/thread-id/35765), but it seems the forum moderators are going thru and deleting threads and replies. And so far, the only "answer" wasn't an answer at all, just a canned response pointing to a tutorial (that wasn't there last night, btw) on how to change messaging settings.
If anyone has any ideas, please let us know.

I don't understand what you mean, please explain.
It's another SMS app, you can download it on the playstore.
Thanks everyone for confirming it wasn't just me. It's a shame because the stock txting app wasn't pretty bad for the past ~2 years....here's hoping AT&T steps up, otherwise I will go third party too...
Pulse is awesome. I have the paid subscription and can access my txts from any device.
First, new "update" fubared text messaging; now, there's something running in the background that's turning it into a hotplate & sucking the battery down in just a couple hours, instead of decent consumption all day long. Even after a reboot & running the "save battery" app in Settings, it's still warm to the touch, & draining the battery too quickly.
Does AT&T have plans to fix this, or is this a push to force an upgrade? (this I put to them on their forum)
SAMSUNG-SM-G891A
Android. 7.0
Patch level January 1, 2018 (so no shenanigans about "security enhancements" in this one, they ain't there)
There were betas for these updates for several months now. There must have been some big changes under the hood and this one came as a 500MB update rather than a 35MB security patch. Probably stuck with any bugs until the next major update which will most likely be Oreo. All of this is just speculation on my part.
I didn't receive any notification on my S7 Active regarding BETAs - how do you sign up for those? I would have gladly given feedback on this Messaging app....
They don't have a beta program open to the public as far as I know. Over on the firmware update thread, user khaliullov posts a link to firmware and uncovered a way to directly download firmware from ATT's servers. That's where I've seen betas for this update for the past few months. You don't want to have those betas installed as they offer no upgrade path, so you would be stuck with the issues that whatever beta you used came with.
Got it - thanks for the info!
Looks like time to investigate rooting the phone...
Just got prompted for another update - let's see what this one does...

Same here, can't really see any difference in anything so far.
No difference here either, unfortunately. I was really hoping the Messages app would be updated. This new one SUCKS.
Is there anyone would could grab the old messaging app, make it a APK and then let us sideload it? I would be VERY interested in this, as would others.... this new Messaging app is junk!
The new messaging app is really weird, but all the features are there.... you hafta hit the + sign & the features come up. To schedule messages and more.
Could be worse, half your account could be stuck in Spanish. It's been well over a year and they still can't do anything about it. Lol.
