I noticed this evening something strange. I wanted to check a weather forecast on my HD, but when I scrolled to the specified tab, I saw the screen comming up (no weather picture comming up though, and the button Update now was there, but not functioning at all) but nothing happened for a few seconds, and Touchflo3D hangs completely with the following error:
Wer're sorry
A problem has occured with manila.exe
blablabla
Send - Don't send
The stock forecast is working properly though.
Anyone experienced somehting like this as well, or somebody know what I can do to resolve this? I already tried to unload as many programs to be sure that those could not cause it. Also I have not installed something before that happend (at least that I'm aware of, but I don't know what the last time was I could access the Weather forecast correctly actually). The last program I installed was Igo8, but that isn't related at all to that, isn't it... I also reset my device, but the problem is still there...
I hope someone can help me with this. Otherwise I have to hard-reset my HD again, which I don't want to actually....
Thanks in advance.

Anybody who can help me with this? Is there maybe something I can check in the executable of Manila, or just a part of it. Or can I re-installe the weather app in some kind of way?

I've never experienced the issue that you are describing. Did you try a hard reset? Perhaps that should suffice for now until someone acknowledges a fix.

Well, that's just the part I want to perform at last. I did a hard reset about a week ago, and have everything installed again; would like to keep it and try to fix only the weather app; that's the only one which is causing the error.
Hmm, I thought I had the answer by deleting the database cache for within \\Touch HD T8282\Application Data\HTC\databases, but still not. Although I'm a little further now, in the meaning that I can see the picture within the tab, but when it tries to update, manila hangs completely and TouchFlo3D restarts again. But when the cache is deleted, and I hook my HD up to my pc and it wants to try to update, it sees there is no connection and comes up with the screen to retry or not. If I select 'No', I can come into the menu, also when I've disconnected it from my system... and keeps running, until I click update again of course...
Have to see what the next part could be. Although the weather application is not that important, I really like to know what could have caused this...

hey guys.
I have problems by adding up locations to forcast list.
after choosing country (us) the city list doesn't scroll down and keep going up to clorado spring.
any idea???
hi greenfrog. i discovered i'm having exactly the same problem you have. have you finally found a solution to this? i hard did a hard reset and installed things (nothing weird) and it happened. i was ok right after the hard reset though...

Oh mine does that too, did you find a solution?
as a matter of fact, i hv both greenfrog and nadar-1's problems.
but nadar-1's problem can be manipulated by "holding the scroll"..though i know there is still a limit.
the weather tab crash with manila.exe error is more serious.
Hi Greenfrog,
I solved my problem. My crash was caused by a tweak in Regional Settings I did. Hope it helps your situation.

Hi,
After downloading few free applications in my hero, some pictures and ads started popping out every few seconds in my screen. Mostly pictures of the Android depiction doing some stuff like eating or visiting places like Paris and stuff. Also, some advertisement to download videos.
How can I stop this from happening? Is there a virus scanner or a spam blocker I can use?
Please help.

Can't you just go into market and uninstall the apps you added?
Failing that, connect via adb and use adb shell to remove the apk files (presuming you're rooted).
If you aren't rooted or don't know about adb, ask or search. There are antivirus things available, but I'd just remove the apps.
Also, if you find the offending app, post its name here so others can avoid it (only if you find out which one).

Thank you for your reply.
Well, I was not sure which program installed this thing in my phone, so I un-installed all software that I downloaded. However, that did not resolve the issue. I still have the same problem.
Any advice?
Thank you..

Backup your contacts and other important media and factory reset the device maybe?
Thats a bit of a worry this! Not to scare you or anything, but that sounds like some form of virus/hijacking/trojan or something!
Why not install a "task killers" application and see if you can kill a particular process that is showing those ads.
If you find the right one, it might give you some indication what application created it - but do let us know if you do find out!
Or you can just write down the list of installed apps on your Hero here and then someone can take a look at the list?
Thank you guys. I found the problem, and it was due to the installation of a scientific calculator from the free market. Once I removed it, things went back to normal.
many thanks.
Do you fancy naming and shaming the app? Then no-one else will have to go through this again. Oh, and make sure you give it 1* and a negative comment on the market.
Perhaps we need an 'apps wall of shame' for any apps that do things such as this... Then we could look up any apps before downloading if they looked suspicious.

You might give us the name of the app so that others can get a chance to stay away from it?
I find the AdFree app invaluable in the fight againt annoying ads in other apps.

If you can't get the host file to download 1st time click Revert and then download the host file again. Should work.
Okay, so I have the Acer A500 with Flexstriker's Rom and everytime I go to..
About Tablet >> Status it force closes saying the application Settings (process com.android.settings) has stopped unexpectedly. Please try again.
It is seriously pissing me off, any help would be appreciated.
Thanks,

Did you ask Civato about it on his thread?
I will only guess, some other app might be messing around, like a battery app or Task app. Utility apps, are known problem makers.
no i didnt - i was just curious if anyone else was having the same problem...

You should post it there on his thread. Civato is very good about taking care of his roms. Most Rom modders are. Myself included. And if there's an issue, I promise, we do our best to find a solution.
I myself found 2 users, who had an issue with my rom last night. 1 was user error, the other may or may not have an issue. But, neither was posted on my thread, and I don't know why.
Anyhow, Civato knows his rom, and he'll be better able to help.

My A500 seems to be infected with something. Every google search done from the default search on the tablet goes to some creepy website supposedly about jokes. I'm hoping someone here can help me fix it. I have anti virus running but it didn't catch this.
I'm not tech savvy, and my tablet is not rooted. Thx for any help!
Do you have a windows based tablet?

It's not a virus. You probably installed an app that changed the settings for your search.
Open your search, then select the "settings" in the upper right corner. You can adjust your defaults search settings from there. Also might just see the app that changed it as well
Sorry. I thought the "A" in A500 indicated an Android tablet. It is Android, not Windows.
Funny...the concept of buying a Windows tablet is so unthinkable to me that it never occurred to me to consider that someone would think it was other than Android. LOL
THANK YOU Moscow Desire! That's exactly what it was. Now to find the offending app....grrrrrr. I didn't see anything in the settings to clue me in to what app did this nefarious act. I will find out though...and post a "review" on the Market.
Thanks again!

Great!
Another thing you might try if you see some strange apps suddenly appear, or you get strange notifications, is go to the Market and install an "air push detector" app. Not neccessary to run it all the time, but on occassion.
Thanks for the tip! I will do that now. Still haven't found the offending app. Nasty little buggers.

Have you installed lookout or avast to see if it could detect it?

Avast did not catch it. I use Avast on my desktop and my tablet. In any case, the problem is gone now that I fixed the search settings. Thanks!
Use AirPush Detector from market. It's free,light and looks for apps that for example put ads on your lower bar (the one with clock, wifi icon etc).

Yep...have done that. Thanks!
My Comment is late in this thread.. And im sure you have it resolved..
But here is what i do to catch crap..
go to the market get advanced task manager app. Its tiny app and can be turned off to not Run in the background.. Once you do that it will not take up cpu or memory .
once in a while start it up and look at the apps that are running in the background. In the apps settings you can tell it to auto kill certain apps. This feature can be good to trouble shoot and find apps that have evil programming attached to it.
I will add be careful what you kill with it. If you open a app like the above and keep killing or set apps that you DO USE to be killed you will be fighting the built in management in android. IF Apps are in there that you know your running.If those apps you are sure is not the issue . DO NOT KILL Them they are just setting static for the most part. Killing them will cause cpu spikes as they will just come right back . Use the above mentioned app ONLY AS A TOOL To find rogue apps. not as memory manager app. Android does a great job with doing that if the apps will play by the rules..
Just wanted to add this to the other GREAT Replies you received in this thread. I believe most of the others who have applied use this or a similar app to week at ROGUE APPS.
Good Luck..
Thanks erica_renee...I'll take a look at it. If it's too complicated though, I probably won't be able to figure out how to use it. LOL Many of these apps have no instructions. The devs assume we all know how to figure them out. Not so true. I see "reviews" all the time from people asking how to use these things.
Does anyone know what this means? I've Google it and searched all the forums and can't find anything about this message I get. I can not recreate it, it is completely random and shows up at random times, random apps. It sometimes shows up once a day and sometimes lots more. I tried chatting with samsumg but their "experts" didn't help. Jas anyone else experienced this or knows what it is?
Do you have this watchface installed? I don't know what the notification means, but I'm pretty sure that's the culprit.
I did have it but I deleted it now so let's see if that does it thank you.
