HTC Desire HD specific app problem - Android Software Development

Dear Devs
One of my apps (biochemistry lab suite) seems to have problems on the new HTC Desire HD but ONLY on this phone (I myself own the "normal" Desire). It seems to throw an error when accessing a SQLite database. A colleague had the same problem with his App and said this being a race condition error while creating the database. Is anybody aware of such problems? Does anybody know how to test (and then of course fix) such problems without buying a new phone?
Thanks a lot for your help,
Reto

Unfortunately I have the same issue with my app... while creating the DB...
I still don't have any idea about it. You can start posting your logcat.

We're more people experiencing the same issue, only on Desire HD (running Android 2.2.1).
See here and here.
Hope we can get this sorted out before negative comments will start to show up in Market.

Upgrading HTC Sense Apps using Evo versions?

Anyone know if it is possible to upgrade components of HTC Sense on the Incredible, using newer versions of the same applications from the Evo ROM?
In particular, I'm interested in upgrading the Mail application. The version with have on the Incredible has one fundamental flaw when using Exchange/ActiveSync, in that GAL lookups omit the contact's phone number. I've heard the Evo's version of Sense resolves this issue, which is why I ask the question of whether or not we can retrofit it someway.
Well if you have root go to the evo forum and pull the Email.apk and try installing it. The screen resolution is the same so there shouldn't be any problems. Lemme know.
easier said than done...
I tried pushing HTC news from evo build to system app directory and cleared data in sense and the icons and widget showed up but fc when u run them. I think there is more to it. Need to logcat and debug with brut.all's apk tool.

[Q] Does any one experience this bug when using some of the apps?

Hi I'm still an Android noob. I got my white Dell Streak from Bestbuy about a week ago. It took me a while, but I was able to update my phone to the stock 2.2 after several failure. My phone works flawlessly and so far I only experience FC probably 2 or 3 times mostly due to applications (knock on wood) .
However, the Onion News Network and the Dictionary.com apps have been giving me trouble .
I couldn't get the Onion News apps to pass the initial update and every time when I click on the pronunciation link on the Dictionary.com, the downloading circular icon would appear, buy it will take forever and nothing would happen.
By the way, I could watch any clip on the Onion News website and hear the pronunciation on Dictionary.com fine by using the default Android browser.
Could anyone please help me download the apps and verify to see if this is happening to all the 2.2 Dell Streak? I would like to know if this is happening to everyone or maybe I messed up my Streak.
I tried to search the forum and the web, but I could find anything so far.
Thanks a lot.
Bump.
Could someone please helpl me download those programs and let me know if this is an isolated issue or it happens on all 2.2 Streak? I would really appreciate your help.

Same. Trying to add Facebook for HTC Sense fails too. "The service is currently unavailable."
Anyone figure out how to fix this?

They are no longer showing in the market so I'm guessing it has something to do with that.
Just a thought, but I''m thinking that HTC pulled all of their widgets from the Android Market and is moving them to the HTC hub.
It will be interesting to see once we can get some ported ROM's from the Desire Z if that is the case.
It's working on my wife's EVO not sure why it wouldn't work just on the EVO shift.
I don't think HTC ever had their widgets in the Android Market. I have the original Evo also and I remember a while back some of the Evo users ran into the same issue and it was a problem on htc end in which they had to send out a update that fixed the issue.
I assume everyone is unable to download widgets under the "get more widgets" area of the phone. If so, I'm 100% positive that this has noting to do with the market whatsoever. Me personally, I'm not having any problems with facebook sync or whatever. Although, just like other evo shift owners, I'm unable to download the other htc widgets such as profiles, tip calculator etc.
I'm just gonna sit back and grab some 3rd party apps from the market that does the same thing.

I know on my Hero I downloaded the battery widget and Today in History directly from the market.
HTC had several widgets for download via the market.
Actually, I remember the Hero having this issue as well. It was eventually fixed, but by then I was on custom ROMs.
Yup, couldn't access it last night.
Just got my shift today and I also have no access to "more widgets"
Just got mine as well. I really wanted the battery widget... and tasks
My evo is charging now so I can't do it. Maybe someone with an evo can download all of them, find their apk's and upload them somewhere. Of course try to install a few on the shift and see if they work first.
Everything except audio recorder.

Battery was tested and appears to work. Mirror if you want to keep sharing. From an Evo.
The last two have odex so I don't know how to deal with that so I included them anyway.
AWESOME! Battery and Tasks worked for me. I will let other people test the others
Widgets now available from HTC
Just an FYI, I just downloaded a few from HTC through the phone. Widgets listed are:
Battery
Daily Challenge
Fortune Cookie
Notes
Quick Record
Sand Timer
Tasks
Tip Calculator
Today in History
Translator
Word of the Day
I was able to download the HTC widgets directly from my shift. Maybe it was just a temporary issue.

HTC Hub acting strange

Yesterday I try updating the battery widget from HTC Hub. It uninstalled the older version but would not install the newer one. I kept retrying and it only downloads but doesn't install. I tried to install any of the other HTC Hub widgets but I keep encountering the same problem with all of them. Does anyone else also have the same issue? Can you try downloading a widget from HTC Hub and confirm. Any solutions? I really want my battery and tasks widgets.
PS. I'm unbranded and still on 1.32 so its not the new OTA update.
I have the same issue and I think it may be something to do with my current problem of having to force quit almost everything the first time I run it..
Will let you know if I find more..
Instead of starting a new thread why not post in one that's already created? http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1007718
Besides the problem is probably at HTC's end .
Sorry, I didn't notice the other thread. Hanging head down in shame. :'(

same problem.
i wrote htc some days ago and they said its because of htcsense.com and hub features are so new..they'll need some time to fix the problems.
i could download "fake call" from htc likes..but not from htc hub.
same problem with all updates though.

Turns out all the widgets on HTC Hub are on HTC Likes, just use the search function to find them. They install just fine from HTC Likes.

UK newbie with Desire Rom

Hi Guys, sorry for posting up - but I tried and tried searching, and I cant post in the dev forum..
First up - Had my UK HD2 for about a year, got fed up with hardly any updates and naff apps, so.. not listerning to that little voice in your head that says.. DONT DO IT!.. I researched and finally flashed the rom.
Everything went well.. (good job got a year left on contract!) - desire rom is up and running. Taken me a few days to work out what apps where causing me probs, but mostly its running very well. Finds my orange network.. works on wifi - its all good.
One prob I do have.. everytime I use a GPS program I get a 'freeze', google maps is quite important to me as I do a fair bit of travelling..
(its not a program thing - its the GPS) - tried many different GPS proggies.
So.. does anyone know if:
1) There's a patch or something to fix it?
2) If there's an update to the rom as its a few months old
([30.DEC.10][DFT]LEO "Stock Desire" NAND Android ROM)
3) How do I disable the ad's
.. other than that, its lovely!
Got angry birds to work by copying to the phone ram, stops the freezing.
One more question.. I downloaded an explorer app to access my home network NAS, works well - but some of the movies are in DIVX or WMV format and wont stream or play - any free suggestions?
Lovin it, big thankyou to everyone that contributed to me having the phone I always wanted.. Beer donation WILL be forthcoming, once I've got these probs solved.
Try the fix posted in the thread below, "instantaneous GPS fix)
Try adfree from market to stop ads.
I hear RockPlayer is good for video files.
If above don't work, install a more recent android build
Hope this helps
