[q] problem with calendar

I am using Android on my HTC HD2 for around 3 months now and I am really excited... It is like buying an totally new phone. The only major issue I have is that the calendar does not work!!! I always get the message
"The process com.htc.calendar stopped unexpectedly.... OR
"The process com.htc.bpg stopped unexpectedly....
Any help is appreciated

I'm bumping this thread as I'm having the same problem... I can't use anything calendar-related in Android without getting "The process com.htc.calendar stopped unexpectedly"
I'm currently using MCCM v3.4 (continuation of Darkstone's FroyoStone) but it's been the case since I got this phone with FroyoStone 3.0 and remained when I upgraded to 3.2. I'm also using a stock(-ish) 2.10 WM ROM... at the moment.
Any suggestions as to where to look/tweak?
Thanks in advance.

Bumping again.
So... many views (177 as I type this) and no responses. Can I assume from this that the original poster and I are the only ones experiencing this sort of issue?
I'd really, really, really like to be able to use a calendar in android!

looks like its just you guys?
ive never had a prob with the calendar, but did have an issue with HTC people/contacts app when using same data.img in a diff' build. clearing data & cache using app mngr & a reboot fixed it.
might work for u
or, might not.
worth a try.

Yeah, maybe we're just 'special'!
There seem to be a bunch of app managers available... any particular one recommended for the functions suggested above?
Thanks!

hey,
the stock android app mngr will do the trick (settings> applications> manage applications) or if you want something with more options try 'quick system info' from the market.
hope it works for u.

Hah!!! I've been brainwashed by the wealth of stuff available from the market (e.g. SystemPanel), and it's been so long since I've needed to use settings> applications> manage applications, that I'd forgotten you can clear cache and data using it!
As an update, there was no cache to clear for calendar, and only 2.0kB of data... clearing that didn't stop me from getting "com.htc.calendar has stopped unexpectedly" ... so I'm not expecting a reboot to help... but time to try it anyway... only my 17th reboot of the week!
Edit: Holy [email protected]!!! As mentioned, clearing data for Calendar itself made no difference, but I hadn't noticed 'Calendar Storage' just below it in the list... deleted the 48.0kB of data for this app, et voilà... calendar worketh! ... even without that 17th reboot of the week...
Thanks again for the suggestions.

good stuff, glad it worked for you

Android market won't open

I rooted my new Epic last night using the one click root. I then deleted most of the bloatware and my phone was working fine. I may have deleted a couple of apps that I needed though accidentally. The two problems I am having are that my android market app won't open and whenever I do a hard restart of the phone my home screen apps get cleared. When I click on the Market app it flashes to a white screen for less than a second and goes to the home screen. I have tried downloading new vendor.apks and it still won't work. Any help for either of these two issues is greatly appreciated.

Try to use odin to flash a fresh di18. Search around for a thread with a tutorial (there are a lot of the, just search epic 4g back to stock or fix brick (I know your not bricked)) If this helped please hit the thanks button! Please post problems with fixing in the return to stock tread .

Thanks for the tip. I might try this if I can't figure it out soon. The only downside about this is it will wipe my contacts out right?

Your contacts should be synchronized with Google. Unless they're stored on the phone itself, they should be fine.

My Apps Missing From Android Market

This morning, I decided to look at the 'My Apps' list through Android Market to see if I had anything to update. Typically there are about 20 apps to look at. Now there are only 3. I am running a stock Epic. I powered cycled the phone thinking it might have been a glitch. Same problem still occurring. Has anyone had this happen to them?

Indeed it did, and the issue lasted for a long time and I have no idea why. But I *may* have done a few things which helped fix it and perhaps Google was also at fault on their end, because the issue resolved and never came back (yet). Here's what helped:
-in the Market, download a program which clears your cache. 2 I use are Apps2SD and AntTek App Manager (requires root). The AntTek one is used less often because it clears more caches at a deeper level, but you may want to try it. First:
-go to phone settings/applications/manage applications. Find the Market app and clear both cache and data. You will receive a warning, but don't worry, all you'll need to do is accept Market terms and conditions again when launching. But don't launch Market yet.
-now, clear cache using the apps I suggested or maybe one or more of your own choice.
-launch Market again, accept T+C and now you hopefully will have all your apps back. The problem may reoccur but somehow I doubt your phone is at fault if it does. Eventually a combination of what you do and whatever the big G does may solve it like I think it did with me. Good luck.

Thanks!

Also should have said that your suggestion about app2sd worked.

Glad it helped. It would be nice if it was only a one-time event for you, unlike it was for me (about a dozen). Maybe (haha) this upcoming new version of the Market will be more *reliable* too.

That has happened a few times to me. I usually have to remove the battery to get them to show up again

I've also found that if you search for them and select or update them, usually they repopulate. It happens a lot to me when I flash the rom when restoring a nandroid backup.

and you'll need to "Force Stop" if it's running

Removing SD card will restore the apps installed on the phone.

System Killing Launcher on every app launch!!

Hi!! I have a problem, I'm currently Running Darky's 10.1 with dark core 2.6... Everything is smooth and snappy, however the system keeps killing my launcher everytime I launch an application whether it be a game, browser, news app... Whenever I exit the app the launcher reloads and it makes the phone really really slow and laggy for 10-15 seconds...
I currently using ZEAM launcher, not sure whats causing this, i've been using this launcher since its launch and only had this problem when i was on stock froyo...
Any ideas what can be done to fix this issue...
Thanks!!

Same problem here.
I am on GigerReal 7.1.3 and the worse thing is when it you try to make a phone call and the bloody thing just restarts the phone every third key pressed.
I can only call using voice calling when this happens...
I am using LauncherPro but it also happens in Ginger Launcher and TW Launcher 4.5

Just out of interest guys, how much free memory is showing for you in Settings > Applications > Running Services ?
I am running stock JVQ and although the phone works fine after initial boot (with around 180mb free) this number seems to drop over time and results in any new application clearing any other app from the memory. This even meant that if I got a text message while using the web browser and replied to it, by the time I went to return to the browser it had to reload where I was from scratch. It was also clear that after playing a game and returning to the home screen, even this was having to reload and "redraw" again.
That in itself is a minor annoyance but eventually it seemed to get so bogged down the whole system froze with the "black screen of death" and I had to do a forced reboot. I'm aware, of course, that JVQ is not an official release so it's not fair to be too harsh on Samsung here...

I seem to have a lot of memory free. It happens after the phone has been up for some time.
I noticed that launcher pro was reloading the widgets every time it starts. Also i seem to notice that it happens when you dial a couple of numbers and it starts giving you suggestions from the contacts. So it could be contact related?

This is the same that happens on my system... The launcher just reloads all the widgets everytime I close an application... the amount of ram is always close to 243/337.. So its close to 90-100 mb free, which is enough i suppose... Still the launcher just reloads everytime an app is closed... Its really getting annoying...

basicly you must set HOME_APP_ADJ to 0 making home app unkillable =)
am not sure but probably do that
/data/local.prop -> add such line ro.HOME_APP_ADJ=0
and restart - have not tested just pure theory (the .prop location)

Actually, putting the value as 1 worked better for me. My launcher so far has not been killed even once.

ya 1 should work flawlesly
0 is making it bulletproof/unkillable at any state
but 1 should be safest value

I think Spare Parts allows you to adjust the task killer's sensitivity. Maybe have a play with that and relax the settings.

Attached is an APK which adds that line. Make sure you're rooted first. I wrote it in the past 10 minutes, so it's very simple and might crash, but it did work for me.
Just install it, launch it, confirm root and then watch out for a small message. If successful it will directly ask you to uninstall it. Reboot, and done.

there is also ro.HOME_APP_MEM that can be changed to 4096
to follow other oom_adj=1 settings =)

@martino2k6
Thanks a lot dude... The apk installed perfectly... I'm already seeing improved performance from my device... The launcher hasn't been killed once since the install...
Thanks again for all your help... appreciate it...

Try changing the lowmemoty killer setting to something less aggressive. Your phone is trying to keep too much free memory so has to kill off apps.
Download Galaxy Tuner (using memory manaber option)and set the application cache values to the new samsung default as follows:-
fa=10 MB
va=16 MB
ss=20 MB
ha=24 MB
cp=28 MB
ea=32 MB
Make a note of your current settings in case it doesnt help.
You can also use Galaxy Tuner to set JEWE's file system cache
, settings are:-
SWP: 50
VCP: 10
DEC: 5
DWC: 10
DRA: 90
DBR: 5
These work well for me so give them a whirl, you can always put the values back to where they are now.

mate the problem is solved already - please read dont spam those juwe crappy values ok ?

Ok, cool

Comments about RO Acudroid V3 ICS Themed - 21/02/12 on Super Smooth Android 2.3.6 JQ9

Being a noob I am not allowed to post on the development forums...........
last night I upped my Galaxy Tab (Thai ROM) to Gengerbread 2.3.6 and Acudroid V3 ICS Themed.
1st I would like to comment about the instructions and the process:
My Tab is an important work tool for me - and I was a bit worried about bricking it and taking days to recover... BUT - I followed the instructions of Acubens - and where pointed to teamovercome.net kept following their instructions to the letter, and happily after a couple of hours my Tab was running 2.3.3 with teamover's ROM and later 2.3.6 with the Acudroid V3 ROM.
Restoring apps + data was fast and easy using Titanium and very soon I had my phone up and running just like I want it
As far as I can tell so far - seems everything is working fine - phone calls, sms, camera, email, GPS, wifi, GPRS, sounds and notofocations. As I didn't see and speed improvement I downloaded and installed no-frills CPU and overclocked the CPU to 1.2GHz - and now the Tab is FLYING.......
Now that I've done the up and ROM change - I hope to see more new ROMs for the TAB

So far 2 small issues I came accross -
1. Some notification sounds are not right - i had chrome2phone app and instead of just a short bip like it used to be - it was a non stop bipping for about 15 minutes. I removed the app and try to re-install only I can install it now for some reson. I installed for now the "browser 2 droid" instead, but the notification sound is the same 15 minutes non stop bipping...
Don't get sound notifications for "what's up", and on Gtasks. Probably some other apps that I didn't notice so far.
2. On some of the menus the text under the icons is white over white so can't see it before actually pressing it...
as for battery life - seems a shorter than the stock ROM I used before, but that might be becuase I play with the phone a bit more now...

Hi,
To reduce the issues i only make wipe versions from now on, and nowipe will not be available. I know it is some work but see it this way i have a lot of work to make the rom available, so all i ask from you if you like to use the rom to make an backup and flash a wipe version and it is worth the trouble i think.

Hi, i will look into the sound problem you have, maybe those apps uses the default sound scheme of gingerbread and i have change that, so can you tell which sound they use of the system? And can you not change the settings in that app to use other sounds?
Menu is fixed as you noticed already,
If i have an update for your sound issue i will let you know..

Hi,
Sorry but no, i included a app called quickboot, this app shutdown or reboot your tab much faster, and you do not have to use a mechanical button that can be outworn if you use it much.

It worked fine on froyo - short sound and thats it. so probably some changes between froyo and GB cuases the problem. Only way to stop the sound is by forceclosing the app

WIFI
It seems I have a problem with the WIFI scanning. It only scans when I reconnect the WIFI. If I go out of the WIFI area the tab goes on EDGE as should be, but when coming into a WIFI area it wont show it nor connect to it unless I stop WIFI service and start again. Didn't have this problem on V3... Anyone else got this problem? any solution?

Changed it to 45 - hope it fixed the probel (will see next time I leave the office).
For the benefit of other noob's (it took me a while to find out how to do it...) here's how I managed the change step by step:
1. Used Rom Toolbox / scripter / Mount System Read Write / Run
2. Used Root Explorer to go to /system/build.prop << Long press on the file name and change permissions to rwrwrw
3. Used Astro to open the file (long press, select open as / text << select astro's text editor), located the line I wanted to change [wifi.supplicant_scan_interval=180], changed the value, saved
4. Used Root Explorer to go to /system/build.prop << Long press on the file name and change permissions to rwr-r-
5. Used Rom Toolbox / scripter / Mount System Read Only / Run
6. Reboot system
Careful not to change something you are not sure about as you might brick the phone....

use ES File Explorer.
Just make sure you go to its setting, Root Option and enable its Root Explorer and Mount File System.
Then you can browse to "Favourite" and select the "/"
and go to systems and edit the build.prop using its own internal ES Edit note, and it even make a backup of the original file for you.
A lot less step than what you needed to do there.
