A large portion of pages loading using the stock browser are loading between half to 3/4 and then hanging.
I am running myns warm 2.2 rls 5 and from what I have read researching this problem is that this probably has to do with the feature that disables ads.
Can anyone confirm is this is my problem? If so, how do I fix it?
Thanks
I was seeing the same thing in Austin, TX yesterday. The problem persisted in Warm and Miui, even after reprovisioning. I think it was a Sprint data problem. All is well today.
It's the adfree app that's pre-loaded. Evidently, there has been an update that didn't run because it's preloaded. Get Adfree from the Market, install, open, hit revert. Worked for me. Later on, I went back in to the app and hit update just to see and it still works. No ads and running just as snappy as always. Hope that helps you.
If you want to stop it altogether, there is instructions in Myn's thread. Somewhere in the last 50 pages or so.
Also seeing this in Austin TX with Sprint Lovers. I guess it seems like a service issue. I'm still seeing it today.

This was the problem, thanks a lot. I am fixed.
Good luck to you guys in TX.
I'm still having that issue as well on RLS5...but I also have an issue with mobile data just disconnecting and the icon disappearing even though mobile data always on is checked. I think I need to reflash the rom. Any other suggestion anyone?
I wanted to say I'm in Austin and my phone was doing the same thing and my girlfriends wasn't, my phone is rooted(latest sprint lovers) and hers is not, and yes it was the ad free. I did the above recommendation and it is snappy again. Thx
Im having the same issue with RLS 5 (was about to post a new thread ). I'll try the recommended fix above to see if that makes a difference. It makes sense based on how my browser seems to be loading, some pages its fine, other pages, like news sites with a lot of ads, it will usually hang for a long time or not load fully. Ill report back results.
Seemed to work for me. If I uninstall AdFree now, will it remove it from the ROM altogether or will it still be hardcoded into Myn's ROM and Ill run into the same problem again?
FYI this was also KILLING my HULU app. It would either take forever to load, or just load a white screen. I thought Flash was hosed. But seems to be fine now.

If i sometimes try and open a 3rd party app or even some 1st party ones like Gmail, i get into a force stop loop. (app then android, app than android) that i can't get out of unless i take out the battery. This happens ALOT! never experienced this before the mandatory bs update!
Anyone got any suggestions on how to fix, will a factory reset do anything?
ive been getting FC on my gmail and email app
odd, but would you expect less from a rogers update?

Task managers??
Hey, I found that happening to me on this new update ROM and another i was running before if I was using "Free Advanced task manager"
It would work great for a while, then start force closing.
Just restarted phone, by removing batter because the FC's were so constant, and then downloaded another app for that duty. Running fast and smooth now.
Hope this is your issue and not something more.
Force close...
I recently ran into another issue where having the full page weather widget would send the system into instant FC as soon as it tried to load the weather...
Honestly I'm still not sure what the problem was there but I ended up just switching "scenes" and it worked fine on another scene.
Simple but odd...
havent had any f/c since the update but the rogers rom SUX big time, my phone is slow as hell, no voice dialer and to be honest i dont really like sense UI very much
kicking myself for giving up root access for this lousy "update"
If the Rogers ROM is slow on your phone, there is indeed something wrong because it actually is very fast. It's the same as the HTC EU 3.05 update, the Rogers version just has a few Rogers apks added. I have tried the EU 3.05, the Rogers 3.05 and Cursorsense and I honestly couldn't tell which one was the fastest (Cursorsense maybe but it's so close that it's almost unnoticeable)
My guess about those speed problems and FC is that the old data is messing things up... I'd make a backup of my stuff and try to wipe the data (and as you don't have root : settings->sdcard and memory->factory reset should give the same result). If it doesn't help I'd then try to reinstall the update.
if u are using a taskkiller on your phone, make sure its not killing any of the tasks that are required for the rom to run, e.g HTC checkin Service, if the taskiller is killing the required services, it can lead to alot of random force closes
I tried different leak rom before,
and right now I am using official froyo
Every time after starting up the system, or after mounting the SD card,
when the media scanning is finished, launcherpro is not responding and hanging.

Same thing happens to me. I am running official Rogers Froto on my AT&T Captivate. I tried looking in the logs for something, but I couldn't find anything. Send a emails to the developer.
Yea I've tried like 20 roms.always locks up and force closes after reboot. Sometime it sits for like 5 mins before the fc message pops up. I have the plus version and running Axura 2.2.7.1 Voodoo.contacted tech support about it and he said that its my rom.can't be. tried 20 different Roms.pisses me off.

I have had this happen a couple of times as well. However, I have noticed that it only happens when I try to start opening things or moving between home screens before the media scanning has finished. If I let it do its thing, then it doesn't seem to hang ever. Still kind of annoying, and I don't know if that is the case with you all as well, but that seems to be what causes it on mine.

Nope because I always wait till the media scanner is done.but it still locks up and a fc message pops up.even let it sit for like 20 mins before but was still stuck until it errored out and fc again.they need to fix the dam bug.I even got the plus version.

LP runs fine for me, but I'm having a problem having it stick as the default launcher. Whenever I use Titanium Backup or long-press the home button, I'll get the prompt asking me which home application. There are a couple of other apps that result in the same problem, but I can't think of them off the top of my head. I've tried using Home Switcher to see if that fixes it, but no luck. I have the same problem with ADW EX.
This is happening to me as well.
If it locks up, try repeatedly hitting home, usually will give me a prompt to wait or fc. I never get this issue on my galaxy tab and it's running 2.2

When lp acts funny for me I hit the power button then unlock it and that usually works for me.
LauncherPro has worked great on my device with 2.2 (Nero V5) the only time I seem to notice anything is when the media scan is finishing its thing and there are to many apps running at start up in the background. I use advance task killer to kill the apps that do not need to be running and I never seem to have the problem again until I reboot. It doesn't seem to me to be a LauncherPro issue, media scan seems to bring the device to its knees until it is finished. Once my device is running smooth I never seem to have that issue again only after I reboot my device.
Love my Vibrant and LauncherPro Plus is far better then all the other Launchers I have tried (in my humble opinion) but each of us have different needs I guess. I actually use almost everyone of the widgets and can not wait for the update coming when the gmail widget will be added to the Launcher.

So just to update on the topic I downloaded Launcher Pro again today and everything works well. No hanging after reboot and no other problem from what I've seen. You guys may want to give it a try.

I was using Nero5 and got the same problem FC alot in LauncherPro. I couldn't save the LP settings though. What seemed to fix it is removing LP and reinstall it. After that, things seem to work better and less FC with LP.
I'm using stock Froyo now with fresh LP install from the market, no FC so far. So I would say it's not LP always hanged in 2.2...but something is stuck or got carried over from previous installation/ROM. Just try remove it and reinstall LP again from Market, it should work better - at least for me, it did.

Same thing happens to mu phone on adw ex... when i turn my phone off and turn it back on, the screen goea blank, i can only see the notification bar scanning, but would hang on black screen then shuts off by itself.. that's with stock ka7.. now im on ka6 kies version and my phone is fine...
or maybe the cause was the lock screen? I used the pin code lock screen.. it could be it? Now im on ka6 official and with pattern lock screen, it seems fine... and i domt wanna try and use any other lock screen besides the pattern one. Ive done countless reflash because o this issue.. so no more flashing, lol.. but i could be wrong though, it could be something else that's causinrit, just speculating..
The only time I've experienced a FC of any kind on LPP, is when I had Colorize running with it. They don't play nice together. Other than that, it's been 100% stable for me with any rom.

What kernel are you running? Any themes or anything else that could change something? Also what build are you using? When was the last time you flashed a Rom? What did you have for breakfast?
Sorry for the 10 million questions, but it would be cool if we could narrow down whats causing it.

Was unable to download from the website with CM6 and market 2.2.7. Installed a market 2.2.11 zip...voila problem solved.
Using an unrroted Evo the downloads start almost instantly. It might be related to being rooted though...

I have had this problem come up a few times and it seems to me there is something getting stuck, however once I turn on WIFI the programs stated downloading instantly, then after that it seems to come unstuck... I started having this problem when i turned off the Enable aways-on mobile data, to save battery. So I offer this as a solution only becuase it has worked for me... That is download it via Wifi to get it unstuck and then try it via 3G or 4G...
I wiped everything last night (for a few reasons, not just this), and it cleared up the problem for me. I'm still on myn RLS5, as I was before when it wasn't working.
I restored all my apps + data, and a handful of system data (Phone contacts, Browser data, and some other stuff).
One thought I had was that maybe Google Talk data needs to be cleared? I think that's related to how the downloads are pushed to the phone. I didn't try that before I wiped.

That's ridiculous. Easily on par with some of the ways apple has screwed its developers...
So after running rooted Gingerbread for a while now I've noticed a few bugs and was wondering if I was the only one.
First thing is Swype. Yeah yeah, I know everyone has that one. But after uninstalling the old apk with Root Explorer and then installing the beta everything initially worked fine. But my first reboot after the install of the beta Swype force closes every time it trys to open. Uninstall and reinstall doesn't fix the problem. Weird, but not a huge deal to me as I didn't use it that much anyway.
Second, and the most annoying thing I noticed, is the back lit buttons stop lighting up after a certain period of time. The soft buttons under the screen and the slide out keyboard still work, they just don't light up. Rebooting fixes the problem.
Third is the built in battery manager seems to have some issues as well. Although it seems to inherently do a better job of saving battery life than in previous versions of Android. On my phone it sometimes won't come out of it's no-syncing state and allow data usage. Other times it will allow data usage after waking back up, but data seems extremely slow. Again a reboot fixes the issue.
And the last thing I noticed today. Although I haven't had any noticeable signal issues or dropped calls, I was getting drastically different signal readings sitting right beside a guy with a DROIDX at work. As in he was showing full 3G service and I was only showing one bar of 1X and like a -100 RSSI. I realize it's two different phones, but my understanding was that the X and the original 2 were pretty similar.
Just wondering if anyone else has noticed any of these things or if I'm the only one with some bugs? Or if anyone has any ideas about a solution for any of the issues?
FYI I'm far from an expert, but I'm not a complete Noob either. Although I don't have a ton of posts I've been hacking my cell phone since the days of my Razr and have had and rooted three Android phones to this point.
Anyway, thanks a bunch guys!

Only problem that I have is that using Launcherpro when the home screen is rotated 90 degrees (widescreen-ish) and then rotated back the wallpaper gets a "letterbox" effect similar to what you see on TV's. Haven't looked into it too much, probably just an issue with Launcherpro.

I'm having a weird bug where three shortcuts to games I put on my start screens keep disappearing: Bejeweled, Optime's Hangman and Tic Tac Toe. I put them back and they stay for a while, but eventually, just disappear. I even rebooted after putting them back and this did nothing. It's quite strange.

The backlight issue bugs me to no end. I try to figure out how to restore it without rebooting but no success so far.
One other issue is that I can't access the multitouch keyboard. I disabled it because I really never used it, but then I felt like using it one day and there is no place to check to use it. I have SwiftKey installed as my only 3rd party keyboard
I'm having an issue with ridiculously low volume on phone calls......any fixes out there because it's hard to use your phone, as a, you know, phone, when you can't hear the other person on the line. I may have to SBF back and wait for the official 2.3 if it doesnt improve.
Rebooting takes care of the call volume problem.
Rooted Droid 2 running Froyo 2.2 with the 2.3.20 update
Yeah I had the low call volume too, I think everyone did. It went away after the first reboot.
As fas as the games disappearing. Someone mentioned Bejeweled, that's one of the ones on mine that keeps disappearing. There are a few that do it, I don't remember exactly which ones, but Bejeweled and Stupid Zombies are two that I remember always disappear.

I also tried reversing where they sit and the same 4 shortcuts disappeared, even sitting in different locations.
Hmmm, who knows. Even though all of mine weren't disappearing, just certain ones, it got annoying to me. I just deleted the shortcuts from my screen and pull up the games from the launcher now.
It is strange that its only certain games, and that we all seem to have the same ones disappearing.

Yea, I found this last night. I was the one who originally posted it here. The article on Android Police stated that the best option was immediate removal of the HTClogger apk. I did that, and got repeated force closes over and over, literally to the point of not being able to do anything on my phone. I had to pull the battery and restore to a Nadroid I made earlier, so just removing the apk isn't gonna work. I think it has to be built out of the OS, because the system keeps looking for it. I don't know how freezing is going to work either, but I think it would have the same results. I'm waiting on word from someone who knows better than me, and hopefully the dev who built my ROM can do something to get it out.
Not sure about being able to just wipe or freeze those services, but there are a variety of rom's that have them removed, or just go with an AOSP rom and problem solved.
don't forget to wipe..
