com.htc.bgp force close. what is this and why?

Ok so I searched the forum with no luck on this. I Just want to know how to stop it. Is it lwp picker?

It has something to do with GPS. If you turn off all GPS settings, you should not get the FC anymore.

I don't have GPS turned on at all and I still get the force close

lol bump.
i turned it off and have not run back into it.
i think it might have something to do with all the Weather and HTC apps/widgets i had deleted at the time.
Fresh 2.0d

has to do with Htclocationservice

How many people saw "bgp" and thought "why in the heck is a phone running border gateway routing protocol?".

I am facing the same problem and found this on the web:
After I received the update to Android 2.1, my Google calendar was not syncing with my phone anymore, and I kept receiving the "force close" message for com.htc.bgp and com.htc.calendar.
I went to Settings >> Applications >> Manage applications and selected "Clear cache" and "Clear data" for (where applicable):
- Calendar
- Calendar Storage
- Gmail
- Gmail Storage
Now my calendar seems to be working fine and syncing properly with Google!
Hope this helps someone out there...

Thank you

LOL.. the thought had crossed my mind..

still get f/c
I did the clear cache thing... Except the clear cache button was greyed out on everything that had to do with mail/sync etc, so I can't clear cache (guess it's because CacheCleaner already did that for me.)
I still get f/c on com.htc.bgp.
A lot of people mention facebook. I don't use that, but now i tried getting android facebook from market, logging in with that, then logging in on web, deleting everything on facebook that had to do with android/htc. Then my phone said it couldn't connect to facebook (which it shouldn't even try to)
I then deleted the facebook app again. (by the way, in sync settings i don't have a facebook option, with or without facebook app installed)
Still have f/c on com.htc.bgp.
I tried looking in logcat everytime the f/c came up. What I often see in logcat is:
1. Bluetoothservice.. Seems it's trying to connect to something (i never used bluetooth and never paired a unit and bluetooth is off on the phone)
2. Something with a keypad [system/user/keychars/bravo-keypad.kcm.bin] (i don't have htc keyboard installed in my ROM, if that matters)
3. Wifi tether (which i have tried before, but is off when the log mentions it)
I have a Desire running Modaco r6, brewed in kitchen with no sense and most htc stuff, and no facebook or twitter. I have tried other ROMs. I always get the f/c on ROMs with no Sense... And i sometimes get the f/c on ROMs with Sense.
Hope anyone has found out excactly what com.htc.bgp is, and even better, can help me not to get the f/c anymore.

Restoring them stop the com.htc.bgp force close erros.

I was getting this error too. I am runnig Ava-Froyo on an EVO. I hadn't removed anything other than what was already removed from the ROM. I started getting this error after installing Youlu Address Book. I removed Youlu, but was still getting the error message. I then removed all accounts (Facebook, Twitter, any additional email accounts) except the default Google one. I rebooted my phone, and now I no longer get the htc.bgp force close error.
Hope this helps.

I was thinking the same thing: "why does HTC need BGP routing on a smartphone?"

having this on htc aria
I wonder if B G P stands for background processing and this app/service does various things with many processes, pulls from a weather/calendar database, checking your location, checking for bluetooth <shrug>.
I got this after:
1. Changing the weather app db to add custom cities
2. Installing AdFree
3. started getting FCs in Desk clock.

Hmm I also tried doing the clearing data and cache thingy but still getting that force close error. I guess removing the weather apps are the culprit... someone mentioned clearing the daivlk cache but that didn't work for me either... so I'm sucked with that error, coz I really hate keeping apps that I have no use for...

[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!

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

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.

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

HTC News app and widget issues

I've been using the HTC News widget to keep an eye on a few technology feeds and a few other things for a while and find it pretty handy. Unfortunately for reasons I haven't found it decided to stop updating around two days ago. I have it set to update automatically every four hours but that wasn't happening and tapping the bottom area to force a refresh just left it hanging at "Updating" without success.
I tried removing the subscriptions I had and added two test subscriptions to see what happened. When I finished adding them I was back at the home screen and it told me there was no news. Considering one of the subscriptions was Gizmodo I find that impossible to believe so something has bugged it out. Being the genius (HAH!) that I am I decided to try and see if going to "Manage Applications" and forcing it to stop would fix it. Big mistake! Now when I try to add the widget or launch HTC News it looks like it's about to open and then I'm staring at the home screen. No crash message, no errors, it's just as though the app quit instantly.
That's where I am now. I have tried restarting the phone to force all processes to restart at boot up but it didn't work so now I'm stuck with a the HTC News app failing to load. Any suggestions on what to do to fix this? I still have no idea why it stopped working in the first place either.

same problem
I am having the same problem. Did u get a system update from HTC? I think mine stopped working after this update.

Yeah, the second update not long ago. I think that's when the random reboots started too.
Sent from my Desire HD using XDA App

contacted HTC
I have just sent HTC an email about this RSS News reader problem. i will keep you updated if I get a reply.

same problem here, but not related to the update!
i know this from my past:
as my signature shows i'm coming from hd2, and i had a desire hd ROM running
at last. there, after some days of the same rom, the problems with non-updating
news reader started to happen. i even felt smart and deleted the data from the
settings/ applications menue of the news reader, after that i had the same
problem as dyonas: a non functioning news reader.
sorry, but back then only a clean start (factory reset or in case of the hd2 a
deletion of the data.img) worked...
would be also glad if somebody would tell us how to fix this without having to
reflash/hard-reset!

Funny that you say that TML, I backed up all my apps thinking that it would be the only solution that would definitely fix it. I'll wait and see if we hear anything other than this but it shouldn't be a big deal to restore the apps again. I'd rather avoid it but at least the option is there.

Well I figured I might as well try a factory reset and it worked. The widget works again, and as a bonus my DHD feels ultra nippy again. I thought it was a tiny bit sluggish after I entered account details for sync but a few minutes later I saw why. Notification bar said 36 applications restored.
This phone rocks, Google rocks, Android rocks. All I had to download were things from the HTC hub. I even still have my text messages from before the reset.

To backup apps and phone data I used MyBackup Pro from that market but as I said, I didn't need to install them since Google restored them. I didn't get settings and account information on things like Toutieur (twitter app) restored because I didn't restore my backup, I don't know if it will restore properly on the DHD since I didn't try. I was about to try so I could offer a better answer but I'm having issues with data connectivity tonight that I'm 99% sure are to do with T-Mobile.
Steps taken
Download VISIONary from the market and run it to get temporary root
Use MyBackup Pro with root privileges, backup apk and their data, backup phone data (sms, mms etc)
Factory reset the phone (Settings > SD & phone storage > Factory data reset at the bottom)
It gave me two separate confirmation screens (liked that!) then it does the reset, reboots and restores from firmware and the phone loads up after a few minutes.
That's all I did. It's worth mentioning that you shouldn't do this without plenty of battery life.

I am now having the same problem, the news feeds wont refresh! Is a hard reset the only option?

I don't know if a hard reset is the only option but the response I got from HTC suggested clearing the cache of both the app and widget, which I did before my "force stop" madness. The factory reset was a pain but short of waiting a week or more for HTC to get somewhere it's the fastest. Using WiFi during the setup after the reset it had all my apps and other information back within 10 minutes. The only things missing were sound sets and a skin I downloaded from the HTC Hub, everything else was there.

I just hard reset mine. Newsreader is now working. I got the same response as you from HTC

what about backuping up News 1.0 using titanium backup for example

Can confirm this has now happened twice to me!
Any solution here? or an alternative app that has a nice appearance like this one?
A hard reset is not a solution!

Is this problem just with the widget? Can the above back up app only be used with rooted phones?

my experience froyo 2.2
Just my experience....
Tried to add BBC or Gizmodo.
On the channel list showed up a red spot with ! Probably cause no news are found!
Seeing that I have opened the channel and I have played with the menu
Some seconds and I all the news appeared !!
But returning to the channels list the red spot was still there.
I think that the reader think the news are already been red or something like that...
And more, I cannot remove the subscription!
I suppose that the first time you connect to Google it download your google reader subs and after then fails to sinc or manage new ones

I have the same issue with the news gadget and the friend stream gadget. I might agree with some of the posts above that this happened around the recent update. No other issues with this phone

...yes ... but for example just to be out of this topic try to put a gel case to protect your dhd ...
your GPS signal drops down dramatically!! ok off topic....

Right...the dam widget has stopped working again and is force closing. I DO NOT want to hard reset AGAIN! I have just sent HCT support a raving email!

Hi,
having the exact same problem as described. Tried different versions of Darky's ROM, currently running on 9.3. Extreme. But also experienced on 9.2. Can't remember if it occured on preinstalled Samsung Froyo.
Isn't there really any solution to this ? It's really annoying not to have an option to sort your icons when they keeps messing up after reboot.
What ROMs are you having, guys ?

Looks like lots of things can move your icons update of apps can shift stuff around .
But if you are not updating> factory resetting etc then the apps should stay where they are on a stock rom after a reboot .
jje

Solution
Guys, this issue has a relatively simple solution, the problem is with your touchwiz not saving correctly setting, do the following:
Go to Settings > Applications > All
In here, go find TwLauncher and click it, DON'T click force stop now just click the "clear data" button.
After this, your icons will mess around again, ordered alphabetically, just restart phone.
That should do it, next time you organize your apps they should stay where you left them.
I hope it help you guys, cheers!
EDIT:
If the above wasn't enough (in most cases it should), you can try to get Root Explorer and go to:
/dbdata/databases/
find the com.sec.android.app.twlauncher folder and delete it.
This is harmless, but it will again order alphabetically your apps, this folder will be restored again on next boot, so restart phone after.

Clearing the data worked for me! Thank you very much!

Didn't try deleting com.sec.android.app.twlauncher but instead clearing works. More feedback pls

I had the problem, changed ROM and solved.

Revert back to HTC Sense?

So I rooted my phone today and HATE CM7, it's ugly, outdate in appearance, backwards, fussy, complicated (maybe not given it enough time here and pron to hatred of change) but after a couple of hours just don't like it at all. Hate how menu's have changed.
Hasn't even sped up my phone for typing, there's still that annoying delay and that;s with the phone being empty on applications.
And to make matters worse for txt messaging it's taken away valuable screen space to read txt messages when typing.
How do I get my phone back to be totally 100% stock/factory.
Sadly I now have lost all my settings so will never have my phone back to 10o'clock this morning, but sooner I get off this eye raping monstrosity the better!

LOL at rant
Anyways, to answer your query: If you had taken a Nandroid backup prior to flashing the new ROM, just perform a Nandroid Restore.
if you had not, flash this ROM. Its stock Froyo Sense:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=877977
Steps for installing the ROM above:
- Flash this attachment in Clockworkmod. It will give you temporary 2.5.0.7 (Green Text)
http://forum.xda-developers.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=662193&d=1311319218
- Once you have that, Select "Wipe Data / Factory Reset". Let it perform the Wipe
- Then select the Option "Install Zip from SDCArd", Select the ROM Zip file, let it install, and reboot.

P.s. Cyanogen supports the theming of everything. And the wildfire in general suffers from the bad keyboard. It's the processor
It's not ugly, download a CM theme like NTSense which makes it look like sense, then download go launcher ex and download a sense theme for that.
You'll regret leaving CM. Battery life and speed rock.

Hi. Is there a way to get Cyanogen to sync with facebook (contacts, calendar etc)?
Update
Contacts synced fine but calendar hasn't even though facebook is ticked in calendar settings
Click to expand...
Click to collapse

ok i cant remember exactly how but you need to sync facebook calender to your google account calender. there is a setting somewhere in facebook to export calender then use the link to import to google account. i have mine syncing perfectly.

After my rant I have gottne used to it, still don't think it's the prettiest thing!
Going to leave it now, for abit longer, even thinking of trying others!
Didn't do a Nandroid backup...well not to my knowledge.
Some things I am missing!
Pressing the home button while on home screen used to bring up the launcher menu, any what to make this happen again?
I imported contacts as my sim card wasn't showing contacts and now I appear to have two sets of contacts. How do I delete one set?
When I get a txt message it gives me their facebook name. I am 90% sure facebook is unsynced. How do I stop this?
Apart from that it seems to be going better. Magical dissapearance of the keyboard at times requiring a reboot but other than that not much more.
If options for the above can't be sorted will just do a fresh install, don't have much to redownload anyway.

I like cynogen the only thing i hate is the cynogen for wildfire no have flash player support that is why i return to sense or some one can tell me how put flash player in cynogen for wildfire thanks
