If something doesn't f***** work on your phone then it's a million times better to get in touch with the f***** developer using the email option (I even put my damned phone number up) instead of leaving a 1 star rating saying "Doesn't work".
Great, so now not only do I have a one star rating sitting at the top of a load of 5-stars, but have absolutely no idea why the app won't load or how to fix it. If only the Market gave me the opportunity to email a user who left a complaint and get the problem sorted. Oh, and it's a completely free app which pisses me off even more.
On top of this, the Market is STILL NOT WORKING properly for loads of people who for some reason can't see my app at all. Google don't respond on their forums, and it's complete f***** guesswork which phones it shows up on.
And breathe.
*Waits for ban*
We can understand you rage.
Sorry I can't help you but what's the name of the app ?

Just got my vibrant today and it auto locks almost immediately. Does anyone have a fix for this? Thanks in advance.

It's under settings->sound and display... 1 minute works great and under the appliactions->Development you can also set it so that it doesn't turn off while plugged into USB (charging). That was a god send when I rooted and put the deodexed ROM on.

Thanks for the quick reply. Do u know if there is a easy way to keep it from [email protected] all? I would prefer to just lock myself...

Get NoLock from the market.
Yes, nolock. An essential item. I pity all the regular people that don't go on forums with these phones, Samsung and Android are really going to alienate a lot of them. I suppose regular people go for the iphone though so maybe I don't have a point after all.
There is an awesome app called LockDelay that allows you to screen-off your phone after whatever time you specify, and then it will automatically lock it after yet another time you specify.
I HIGHLY recommend it, it really allows you to secure your phone and save your battery by turning that screen off.

Just sold a Vibrant in my T-Mobile store today. My rep was showing the customer hers and the customer asked her opinion, he also noticed I had one (I'm the store manager) so I walked over and struck up some conversation to close the deal. As I scrolled through the screen he noticed the XDA app icon and inquired about it. I gave him a few pointers and explained he should joined because there's a wealth of knowledge to be found on these forums. I've found having that little app installed on my phone, as well as our Android live demos is a nice way to introduce customers and new Android owners to XDA.
stock phone is very good. but after customizing, it becomes a whole different android experience.
Thanks for all the tips... I installed no lock, and set the screen to a min an its doing the trick.
Side note, its amazing that I could make the jump from blackberry an transition to the vibrant, can u think of 2 more different phones.

They are two very different phones, but as someone works in the industry, my opinion is that RIM hasn't helped themselves by keeping the Berry in the "stone age." Don't get me wrong. I understand they still have a strong following and a huge success in the business market, but Android is catching up and can be used just as well if you have the right phone. Glad you made the jump and the transition is going well.
I've been up late tonight, and just so happened to stumble across this article over at AndroidPolice. Figured it might interest some people here since it includes our phone.
http://www.androidpolice.com/2011/1...e-numbers-gps-sms-emails-addresses-much-more/
Here's the thing, though. They recommend uninstalling the offending apk immediately, which I tried.....Unfortunately that gives me repeated force closes over and over and over while the system tries to run it, to the point where I had to restore to a backup. So what do we do about this?
UPDATE: You can remove HTCloggers.apk...all you have to do is restart afterwards.

Yes and no.
Yes because so many users run Sense.
No because I run AOSP.
Frankly, I wonder how many other serious flaws there are.
I can name several apps that want their hands on permissions they have no business in [Facebook for one]
Its like 1984 for sure. There's an article in the new section here at xda that talks about some of the other vulnerabilities as well.

Many devs remove these programs and such to remove ciq. I can't find the thread right now, but it reads just about everything. It's so deeply imbedded into the framework.
It reads every button you press on your keyboard.
Every text you send and receive.
Every app you use and download.
The pages you browse on using the internet browser.
It even goes as far to read any spot on your screen that you touch.
This is spyware to the extreme. Sprint and HTC will say its not "spyware" and say its used only for marketing to determine how phones are being used to further develop for the current trends in smartphones. It's very possible they could steal personal info with this. Is it currently happening? Uhh...probably not, but there will still be a lot of paranoia about it.

Sounds like a really good reason to stay with AOSP to me...

Some of us haven't forgotten the XCP rootkit that was on some Sony BMG titles in 2005... hope HTC doesnt suffer a similar demise like Sony eventually has of late.
This has been removed from MikG.
This is exactly why I'm AOSP. (that and sub-100MB ROM files)
I read the article too- (I have an Androidpolice/Android Central) feed in my Pulse reader....
I already knew CIQ and such were slimy embedded spyware...but the Treve app- spotted stuff I hadnt deleted already... Sprint sent me a "letter" about bandwidth usage and We-KNOW-what-Your-Doing" ----
I'm not amused by HTC/Sprint's collusion... leaving our bottoms out there in the cold for anyone to do whatever with.....
I bet even money my phones been cloned... sometimes I can't use it for calls .. recently -and I'd not had a single missed call or problem in a year.
I'm not a happy camper.. worried about my credit card #'s and really really am annoyed by HTC sliming us this way...
to the tune- that it'll be an icey cold day in hell before I'd consider buying another HTC phone for anyone in my family- (my family has 3 Evo 4g)...
We are not amused.....

AMEN
it appears to me that this file has already been removed from MikFroyo. At least, I can't find it...
BTW, you can just remove it using TIbackup, but you'll have to restart to get rid of the repeated force closes. Simple fix, and I've done the same for CarrierIQ as well.
It was removed from sprint lovers rom as well... I couldnt find it at least
I removed HtcLoggers.apk from mine and after rebooting (force close loop) it seems to be working fine. However, is there an old log file still on the phone that can be read by some Spyware app that needs to be removed or does all this data need to come from the logger app itself? If there still is a log, I'm sure it has enough info to still steal my ESN and other stuff.
Wow! Glad I run custom ROMS
Recently one of my friend blogged about increased time at Andorid Market. I tried it and I was all yay! because it really worked
Read more about it at http://knowmydroid.com/blog/android-market-app-refund-time-increased
still not enough for me. For example if you buy a sat nav on the market, How are you supposed to download the maps and test it works properly in 30 mins? JUst encourages people to get the pirated versions instead.
a step in the right direction! but still not enough.
I miss the 1 hour refund policy, not i dont buy as many apps as I dont wanna be stuck paying for one after it doesnt do what I need it to.
I would like a 1day return, that way I can properly test the app. some times I have brought an app that I liked, but it killed the battery over the course of a few hours so I uninstalled it, but I still had to pay for it.
I suppose if you were to test an app with a pirated version, there would be nothing stopping you from then going to the market and paying for it if it worked for you.

But I agree with the previous comment, it's a step in the right direction.

We should also get a warning when you try and install an app for the second time, I can't always remember what I've tried.

I remember all horrible apps
If devs got off their arise and used market licensing, which I promise is a breeze to implement, piracy wouldn't be a concern. If its not the current concern its probably potential loss of money on Google's part and that's their only concern.

Hi
Most apps prices are relatively low so in most cases it's not a big problem that will ruin you
But 30 min. is still a very short period, and I sadly have to admit that I have bought several apps that I never use.
Worst case for me was an expensive Copilot Live Premiere EU that I seldom use
It would be nice if we had some kind of return right in case app is too buggy
at least we have 30 minutes...
others don't.
look on FAQ's on their market or whatever the name:
What is the Mac App Store refund policy?
If you experience a technical issue with an app, first contact the developer of the app for assistance. Their support contact information can be found on the app's page in the Mac App Store. If that does not resolve the issue, contact Mac App Store Customer Support.
that's crap

First things first - if you're easily offended or recently had your appendix removed, with stitches that could come apart from excessive laugher, stop reading right now, hit the Back button, and erase the title from your memory. Cool? Alright.
So, a few weeks back, an app called "****" showed up in the Market, only to be quickly banned by Google (what a **** move, eh?). We called it the most WTF app to ever hit Android, and Google seems to be in agreement. Since there's a sexual connotation (who would have thought?), the Market's ToS are pretty clear - no porn is allowed, so nobody should have been surprised when the app got ejected.
However, we still wanted to play it (and so did a lot of you based on all the comments) and spin that trouser sausage left and right in the most hilarious ways possible. There was only one problem - nobody had the APK. And even if they did, it was copy-protected, so no dice on off-Market installs.
Not a problem - the app's author promised us to sort it out and release the APK without any copy protection a few weeks later. As you may have guessed, "a few weeks later" happens to be today, so let me present to you - ****.
But seriously, make sure there are no sharp objects on the floor around you - we don't want anyone hurting themselves rolling around, do we?

I know a lot of people complain about the official Facebook app, slowing down their phone. I just wanted to inform people that that is not the case for me. Simply because I don't have an account or the app.
Onto more relevant stuff: Under the Hood: Dalvik patch for Facebook for Android and Koush does a quick explanation. For those that have the time and curiosity, read the comments on Koush's post. Very enlightening.
Quite an interesting read. Thanks for the links pons.
The slowness is also a reason I switched to the app tinfoil.

I tried atrium, it was supposedly the top alternative in an article I read but was an immediate failure because it couldn't find a friend.
I would certainly like to know exactly what purpose the face book app has taking up 17mb on my precious dinc fresh off the market. I've seen it swell in excess of 40 mb with heavy use. Get outta here! It seems completely absurd and a bit arrogant of the Facebook corporation to clog up everyone's devices and hide god knows what kind of unpublished ill will in the code.
I wish someone would reverse engineer or whatever so we know why it is so big.
