Hey All,
My first post ever on this super website that helped me root my phone, load Cyanogen Mod, and overclock my processor....
I have noticed (even before rooting) that when playing my favorite online game (armored strike) that if I get a text message, gtalk message, or sometimes even an email and I switch over to read it, then try to get back to my game, it ends up freezing the game causing me to force close...or the game will ask me whether i want to wait or force close and after several "wait" attempts I end up needing to force close.
It happens more than half the time I switch between the app and the messages. Any ideas on what causes this? If it is a known or fixable problem?
nothing?...no comments at all from all you super programmers out there? is my question too retarded and i do not realize it? :-( i am a most definitely a noob in the phone department but want to learn and have been getting into this stuff even though my friends call me a nerd and my wife hates this phone now....any help is seriously appreciated. thanks all.

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?

ive been using the official update without any problems...
infact, i havent even rebooted the phone since i got the update.
i have a few 3rd party apps installed, including taskiller. no force closes or anything to report.
so lets not hate on rogers about every little thing....

oh im not hating on every little thing... my phone is VERY HARD to use!
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 know there are tons and tons of ROMs to try, but i dont really have the time and patience to try every single ROM to find what i need, which is quite simple/basic really. i'm still running a stock ROM that my TMOUS HD2 came with, but the SMS is laaaaaaaaaaggggggy as can be. almost makes me want to return my phone. it's kind of laggy switching between conversations and stuff like that, but the major issue i have with it is when i get an incoming text, my whole phone freezes. sometimes up to 10 seconds. and if i'm talking to more than one person at once, it gets SO frustrating and i want to break the phone into pieces lol
so basically, i'm just curious as to if anyone knows of a specific ROM (or ROMs) that significantly speed up the SMS issue. i've searched a few, but none that got SMS specific. most just say faster and more reliable. so now i'm deciding to post a thread for one. the only thing i have on my phone currently is cookies home tab. along with a few other minor cabs (like the middle unlock slider)
i'm ok about trying a few out, i just cant go down the long list of ROMs flashing for days. so any help would be greatly appreciated
and also, sometimes the whole SMS app will act up and i will get a text, and it will say the exact same message that i just sent, just looks like it's from the other person. so i have to delete the whole conversation to be able to text again. and at other times i will send a text, and i think they get the message, but it never shows up in the conversation. again, delete the convo and restart the phone. it's quite irritating.
i should also mention i want to keep the conversation setup, and i do use swype (i think i read somewhere that swype wasnt compatible with that particular ROM)
If your phone is freezing that long then there is another issue at hand. Try formatting your SDCard. I experienced freezing once early on and formatting the SDCard fixed it for me.
As for a ROM to use, this question is asked at least once a week and no one can answer it for you but yourself. If you don't have the patience to try different ROMS then you really should read abit more on the forum before making a decision.
Energy ROMS work very good for me for what it's worth.
yeah i have a few i am going to try, but i thought maybe someone was experiencing a similar issue that they fixed. would save me some trouble heheh.

not sure what you're trying to accomplish by flaming here. Use your warranty like the guy above said. OR try to root the phone properly and get to know it better by tweaking everything. I own a nexus one and an x10. I like the x10 better due to the time i spent tweaking it.
Damn it!
My phone works!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!11 I'VE BEEN HAD. SOMEONE CALL A WAAAAAAAAAMBULANCE!!!!!!!111111111
I CAN'T BELIEVE THAT SONY ERRIC**** WOULD RELEASE A PHONE THAT WORKS!!! I'LL SHOW THEM BY SUPPORTING THEM IN THE FUTURE WITH NEW PHONE PURCHASES!!!1111111
will there be a update or something solve these problems? i wouldn know where to start! is ther apps or something that can do the tweaking for me?

Hi guys! Fahrbot Mobile would like to invite Desire users to participate in our open beta of Balanced, an app that uses USSD commands to obtain useful info like account balance, number of free sms, minutes and traffic remaining.
It then silently parses the replies into beautiful minimalistic text widgets. We need beta testers on phones we dont have at the office, so please come and check out the thread here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1006487
awesome!!!!!!!!!!
Im glad you like it! We will have some very unique functionality after the RC in the commercial version.
Hello. After the update some days ago I can't add a properly working widget to the desktop. Just have the caption and nothing more. Before the update everything was ok. Is there any detailed instruction how to use Balanced now?
You might have to add the widgets again.
As for detailed instructions, we have decided not to include them as people never read them anyway.
What exactly do you need help with?
ftgg99, I sent a pm with screenshots to explain.
Thanks, ill look into it - but its a strange error that probably has something to do with your setup, because my own Desire HD is running the app perfectly.
I am on cm6 though...
I also use Desire HD with stock firmware but rooted. My friend has the same issue and also and Desire HD with stock firmware but not rooted.
Hi, could you please send me a logcat of the error? Please follow these instructions:
What you need to do is:
1. Download aLogcat from the market
2. Run aLogcat
3. Reproduce your error in Balanced
5. Go into aLogcat and pause
6. Use the share menu to send the resulting text either to [email protected] or via PM here at XDA
Thanks!
I dii it. Sent the log from zel***@gmail.com
New update - beta extended!
Beta has been extended again, please send us some useful logs and suggestions on improving the app!
i dont know why, but it keeps draining my credit by sending hundreds of message to the person i personally do with the same content. the only way to stop it is by uninstalling it. i set it to check my balance after every outgoing phone call and message, and also every time i tap the widget. but the concept and interface is superb, would like to see this problem solved
Mate, the app doesnt send anything. USSD requests dont cost you money. Your problem is something else entirely.
Or youre a troll/ the competition...

oh believe me, im not a troll, and i can't code for ****. i searched around too, and it looks like i'm the only one having this problem. anyway, maybe you're right, the problem is something else entirely but the reason I suspected the application was the problem is because the draining started when i set the widget up and ended when i uninstalled the application. i apologize if i tainted the image of your app in any way.
Dont worry, i wasnt offended, just tired of fighting an uphill battle.
Imagine getting hundreds of crash logs from people with no root trying to use Root Call Blocker. Then they send angry emails. Finally they leave 1 star reviews.
Anyway, this should cheer you up:
Ok, so my girlfriend is having some problems with her phone and I thought I could swing some of this stuff by the board members for some expertise...
So basically what happened was, she was having some problems with her phone working very slow and getting laggy after compiling way too many text messages on her phone. When she tried to delete some of these text messages the phone wouldn't let her for some weird reason. She then took the phone in to some some sprint store and whoever worked on this thing told her he was going to wipe them directly from the SD card...
Ever since she is having problems where her phone won't even register when someone calls her... no ring, no screen pop-up, but she'll have a missed call notification when she misses the call...
The only other weird thing that I know of is I tried downloading a dj set for her on her phone over a wifi connection (around 55 MB) and it keeps saying download failed... I successfully did this for two other people on their phones as well as my own...
Any help would be appreciated, especially since she will love me to death if I can fix this for her... lol
I would sugest full wipe, that usually fixes lots of issues.
Do backup of her contacts and apps, turn off the phone and start up holding -vol and power bttn. than choose clear storage. That will bring the phone to the original stage like it come out from the box.
no need to backup contacts really they should be stored on her google account
I know she'll ask me this one... will she lose her pictures and stuff???

Pictures are stored on the SD card, so no.
If she has Angry Birds progress she wants to save, there are apps for that and they don't require root.
If she has a ton of apps, that could be slowing her phone down. Have her reinstall apps as she needs them instead of all at once.
