Fix for apps not working in release preview - Windows 8 General

This should be stickied
Here is a fix for apps such as Weather (Bing) or cut the rope not working. this also fixed me not being able to add my Exchange account. I found this on the Microsoft forums and now every app works.
Slide the Start Charm bar out on the right side. press settings. Click change PC settings. In the list click on Ease of Access. Turn off Tab through webpages using caret browsing.
Immediately all my apps that were closing as soon as i opened them started to work and it accepted my exchange account.
I hope this helps anyone having this issue.

Facebook app cannot remember login info?

Hello,
When I use the facebook app come with HD2, I found that the app cannot remember my email and password even though I checked "Save Login" already. I need to enter them everytime when I run the apps.
Anyone faced similar problem? Any solution?
Thanks.
Edward
Close the app by hitting the X in the top right corner and never select log out/sign out.

Thanks a lot for your reply. However, actually I used X to close the program (although I use task manager to close the application instead of minimising it) instead of log out. I also noted that in the registry there is a key called "login" under facebook. However, everytime when I run the app, the program still asks me to enter username and password.
I am getting this problem also.
It all started after the phone cocked up opening an email from the sense viewer - I had to soft reset and after that the HD2 had lost all passwords, email acounts and Wi-Fi keys etc. Every thing is fine now I have re-entered the details apart from the facebook app?
I have tried re-installing facebook but that doesn't help.
I know most people recommend using the web version, but I quite like the app and this is a real pain in the ass to input password each time I use it
Any ideas anyone?
Thanks
Same problem over here. It happened to me yesterday while installing and de-installing some custom manilla cab's ( sorry, I can't recall which). I had to reinsert all my passwords but the facebook app is the only one keeping asking for the login info.
I appreciate if somebody come with any ideas. Really I don't want to hard reset my device.
Thanks
It doesn't happen to me at all. It didn't on my previous 3 wm phones. I don't know why you get this behavior.
Me too
I allso have this problem. My phone suddenly lost "all" settings, and now Facebook won't remember my credentials.
Me too!
Wont remember my login details?!
My phone has lost all settings today twice (wi-fi key, email settings etc), and still won't remember fb at all!
Would a hard reset be the best bet for resolving this?
No idea mate, but I hope not! Dont want to loose everything!
The same problem here. Any solutions ??
Same problem here, always requires username/pass everytime. Very frustrating
Unfortunatelly it is same here too
extremely annoying!
The solution for this has already been found. Install Omarket and search for the facebook app.

Missing Email Account HD2

Hi Guys and Girls,
This is my first HTC device and im loving it so far, being a long user for wimo devices, recently come from an omnia i8000, huge improvement going to the HTC, i wont look back.
Has anyone expericened missing email accounts? it still seems to be in the list but its hidden? i can create a new account with a different account name, and it works but is there any fix?
Thanks for your help
Bj,
I experienced the same problem today. However, I noticed that the mail settings had disappeared in addition to the accounts no longer showing up.
The only way I was able to solve the problem was by deleting the mailboxes and re-creating them.
Hopefully there is a better solution found in case this happens again.
Same thing happened to me just yesterday, wonder what's the cause.
Anyway I had the settings backed up to a cab as described here so a reinstall of that set them back up in seconds.
Have the same problem, but my internet settings was lost to...
Any fix for this other than the obe above?
//Johan
I had same misterious problem two times, and I didn't understand why...
:-(
Even I've had the same problem twice..and in addition to losing the email accounts, all my apps which required login like facebook, fring, etc stopped remembering usernames and passwords. Even if I selected save password, it kept asking me everytime is started the app.
The first time it happened i did not notice why, but the second time it happed immediately after a soft reset done using BSB Tweaks after making some changes in it.
I have removed BSB Tweaks for the time being, so will wait and see if it happens again.
the email problem can be solved by going to email- tab --> menu --> account settings (may have another name) --> choose your disappered account. you will notice some of your settins are lost, in my case the mail servers and the username. type in the missing information, and hit 'done', your email acc will be visible again.
Missing Accounts
Same problem after I installed the newest firmware in June. Never happened before, since then TWICE, so it must be the issue of the new FW. Sorry wergor, the solution you offer sucks. Doesn't solve the cause!

Hey,
I found a solution to this problem that I think works. The first time this happened my email accounts disappeared and all of my logins for other things (facebook, etc) also stopped working. This just happened again with no recent mods to the phone, and the only add-on I have is C00kie's Home Tabs (which I didn't have the first time).
The first time I used all the missing settings as an opportunity to upgrade my software. This time I'm on the road and I don't have time to fool with it. Happily I did figure out a way to resurrect the vanished accounts.
As you stated, if you try to recreate the settings, the system will tell you that the account exists, forcing you to create the same settings with a different name. You can probably find your original settings by doing the following:
Go to the settings tab. (Scroll left from your home)
Choose "Data Services"
Scroll down to "E-Mail"
Here you should see whatever accounts you created, even if they don't show up in your email tab proper. Select them and update your passwords (if they're missing, mine were). Everything should look normal.
As I said, I'm on data roam and I couldn't get my OTA download to work where I am. Hopefully when I get back I'll know for sure. Give it a try and I hope it helps you.
Dan
Dan.S - yes, it works, thanks so much. ;-)
It works
Yes, works. In same time, I lost my ability to connect to Facebook. Whenever I try to input name (email) and password, I get instant answer that there is problem with connection. Maybe password also lost. No idea where to find solution.

HTC Peep updating sense problem!!

hello everyone
i've been using peep for a long time, and i always had problems but i could find the solution on the internet especially on xda.
but this time i couldnt.
i updated twitter lastnight everything was okay, but today when i updated, the home screen popped up saying "Launching HTC Sense..." and of course when i looked back at peep there were still last nights tweets and no new ones!
i tried everything, i restarted. i restarted sense. soft reset.
and i dont wanna hard reset!! now tell me is there anything else i can do?
i really like Peep despite of its problems, and i wanna keep using it!!!
yup i'm having the same issue - just tried it on mine to test what you said about it
as soon as i update my twitter it reboots sense.
i'm disabling twitter for now to see if it has any effect, also contacting htc support as htc peep is their app
same trouble here - when i disable twitter sense works fine.. anyone else seeing this ?
my symptoms were very different though.. sense doesnt re-load - it just freezes me out about 10 minutes after every soft reset.. once i disabled auto-retrive on peep, it worked smooth enough, but the moment i tried retrieving tweets after last night - it froze up again.. now i've tried deleting the twitter cache in my temp file - but i dont think thats helped..
any ideas ?
I've had my UK o2 HD2 since Nov last year and have had no problems with Peep until today, but now it just relaunches Sense everytime it tries to update (which I've set to every 15mins) - I presume many others are having the same problem, so hope a fix or solution is provided soon!
:-(
Same problem here, when I want to update Peep, it crashes manila.exe.
So far I know it's because Twitter made a change in their security system.
It makes a lot of users and developers confusing right now.
I hope this will be fixed soon!
I am having the same issue. I've had my phone since start of year. No issues (like this). Running latest offical O2 rom from HTC site.
Whenever I try to update twitter HTC Sense crashes and restarts. I originally was worried that it was caused by the update to fix the calaender (which I had just installed before checking my twitter at around 5pm GMT). But seeing that you are all having issues I digged a little deeper.
This is what seems to be true
The problem only appears to be when checking "All Tweets" (Which is the main screen) and not when checking "Mentions", "Direct Messages" or "Favorites". I can even update Twitter but it crashes when trying to retrieve the messages again.
So the problem is that a server (either Peeps or Twitter) is not working right. Our Peep clients can access the server but are causing a failed responce. This is causing Peep to crash and take Sense with it (As the apps are closely linked). I guess we need to sit tight and wait for either an update for HTC (If the way PEEP works is chanigng) or for the server to be fixed.
Dear Adam Turvey,
It may be just a temporary glitch, can you try a soft reset, by removing the battery while the device is on. Leave the battery out for 30 seconds then try again.

any ideas anyone HTC dont seem to know
i've copied them a link to this thread too
on a side note i'm also getting "Windows Live Hotmail is temporarily unavailable. Please try again." since this has been happening with peep
Well the issues seems to have gone away now. Just checked again and it's all working.
Guessing the above post about Twitter security update/issues may have been true and the people who run Peep needed to make changes.
Still same problem here!...
Someone discovered any solution...?
still have this issue - am trying few diff things
have just
logged out of my account on peep
disabled twitter tab in home tabs options
then delete the device/temp/twiteng folder and
rebooted phone
revoked access for htc peep from twitter connections via web
re enabled twitter in the home tabs
and logged in to twitter again
Code:
HTC Peep by HTC Corp.
HTC Peep
Revoke Access · approved on 6:55 PM today · read and write access
Dowloading tweets......
CRASH sense.....
anyone else got any ideas ?
MoTweets & PocketTwit is working.. seems like a silent update from HTC Peep/HTC Manilla/Twitter which is wrong..
Looks like the connection to Twitter is working well.. at least, from my GF her Desire Peep is working..
Well mine is still working. What you might want to do is try the following
1) Sroll to Settings then pick Data Services.
2) Turn off twitter.
3) Go back to the Settings HTC Sense tab and click Menu at the bottom and All Settings.
4) Click the Today icon and then go to items. Turning off HTC Sense.
5) Load file explorer click "Menu" and turn on "Show All Files". If you haven't already.
6) Delete the TwittEng folder from c:\Temp.
7) Delete the Twitter folder from c:\Application Data\HTC.
8) Reboot device.
9) Turn HTC Sense back on via Start > Settings > Today etc.
10) Reconnect to Twitter using the log on via the Twitter HTC Sense tab (I did this via a wi-fi connection instead of the mobile network shouldn't make any difference but hey)
11) Then rechecked via mobile connection.
After this I've rebooted the phone and Peep is still working over Wi-Fi and GSM/HSDPA

Sadly that didn't worked, but thanks for giving us this option to try
To be honest I think what I did was just at the point an issue somewhere else was being resolved may on the server my account is on.
I'm guessing that the issue has been solved but the fix is having to work it's way through the servers/accounts. All I can say is hold on and wait it should be good by tomorrow.

I'm able to sign in, no problems, but I just cannot download my tweets.
I even can post tweets just as normal! but it crashes after posting is done.
Same issue here, Manila.exe instantly crashes when you update twitter.... Hope this gets resolved soon

Reading your post you didn't delete the Twitter folder in Application Data/HTC*
I found that when I first deleted it before clearing out the rest of the stuff when I was downloading the tweets that it would download just one of the user images again. There was also in the folder /Application Data/HTC/Twitter/TempPhoto was some sort of crap/corrupted image.
It might be worth just checking those. Like I said before I dod those steps and it works again. However is the problem is server based then it won't mean crap.
* Sorry got you mixed up with SilverRook. But again just check to make sure.
Solution for me: Log in to Twitter with Opera Mobile (twitter.com), and log out again. then Peep worked fine again.

FaceBook connection problem!!!

I try to use browser to view facebook but it show connection error,so can`t play FaceBook games. it's that any fix?
In the address bar type about:debug and then go to settings>debug and change uastrings to desktop then type about:debug to get out of debug again
You can do what he said, but I found that I would often go back to android mode. So I have switched to dolphin browser HD and set it to desktop mode as default and have a gesture set up if I want to use mobile mode. Much easier and no problems with Facebook or other sites yet.
Sent from my Droid using XDA App
I had this issue. Only started after installing the facebook app. I uninstalled the app and clear cache and changed uastring to desktop and it works pretty good. Only issue is after several hours of the tablet being idle and the tab open I see the issue pop up. I close the tab and launch a new one and I am good to go.
thank you for reply
im having serious facebook issues on my tablet too!
the facebook app never worked for me properly (couldnt see the feed screen) so i uninstalled it. I also tried connecting my facebook in Pulse Newsreader but that also didnt work either. Only way I could get it working was via the built in social jogger app which actually has quite a nice interface but is somewhat limited.
Also last night I tried browsing facebook via the default browser and it loaded the first time and then stopped loading after clicking a 'see all comments' link.
anyone know the cause?

Browser bookmark sync

I will.
I'd much rather the freaking feature work though.
It worked earlier on the Xoom and before I sent my tab to get repaired (I guess they updated it, it was gone for 3 weeks.)
Doesn't work on my tab10.1 either, very annoying that there hasn't been any OTA update since release even to fix the browser issues which are as follows:
1. Browser bookmark sync doesn't work
2. Heavy websites causing screen redraw, impossible to scroll from top to bottom without redraw
3. All websites refuse to load and the last website which did load is displayed but in garbled form.
4. Flash causing slowdown and stuttering - try loading www.techradar.com and enable flash and then scroll up and down - it's terrible.
5. Holding down on a weblink doesn't bring up the sharing function to share to another app.

All the same stuff is happening here. Not very happy with it.
Mine never worked until I:
Stop syncing in chrome.
Remove google sync on tablet.
Reboot table.
Start sync in chrome.
Add sync on table.
Has worked ever since. YMMV

Didn't work unfortunately. I guess i could flash a custom rom and see if it works.
This STILL doesn't work for me after a wipe and an upgrade to the latest 3.2 rom.
the sync will work but it might take as long as 2 days.

I've waited weeks before. It doesn't work. It worked fine on my transformer
touch wiz browser sucks
TouchWiz Browser sucks...regular HoneyComb browser worked flawlessly before I updated to TW. THe HC browser synced w chrome no problem. Need to get rid of my SGT10.1 and buy Prime or Acer 510.
I have had to wipe my chrome sync in the Google Dashboard twice since I got my tab in early December to fix the sync problem. Whether it's the tab's fault or your stored data's fault I don't know. After you get it set up again it can take 1 or 2 days for everything to trickle through though, so be patient.
I turned on "Encrypt all data" when using Chrome Sync, and since then my Galaxy Tab browser has failed to sync bookmarks.
I don't know if this is the issue, but it would make sense. Can you check your sync settings in Chrome?

Try to encrypt the password only, not all data.

Originally it was just passwords but I wanted everything encrypted. I was offering a suggestion of what might be causing the Tab to fail when syncing bookmarks, since it started failing for me after encrypting everything.
I think the only way to go back to encrypting only the passwords is to stop Chrome syncing, delete all synced data from the dashboard, and turn syncing back on. I could be wrong!
Okay, so this is what I did to get my Bookmarks working:
Go to Settings in your Chrome Browser.
Personal Stuff>Advanced
Uncheck Bookmarks
Change to "Encrypt passwords"
Click OK.
In the Personal Stuff Window, click Google Dashboard and login
Scroll down to Chrome Sync and click "Stop sync and delete data from Google"
Depending on how much you've got, it can take a while. Mine took about 7-10 minutes. Have a smoke or something.
When it's finished, go back to Chrome Settings>Personal Stuff>Advanced
Recheck Bookmarks, and double-check Encrypt Passwords is selected.
Done.
I did this the other day and I didn't lose any data. See below:
"Last sync: Apr 18, 2012 9:45 PM
Bookmarks: 204
Preferences: 22
Themes: 1
Autofill data: 3168
Autofill profiles: 5
Extensions: 9
Applications: 9
Omnibox data: 198
Open Tabs: 5
Search engines: 86
Passwords: 5
Note: Encrypted with password."
If your using the Android browser and it's still not working, look into "Chrome Marks". It's free and will one-way sync your bookmarks to your device. If you pay for it, it goes 2-way.
Can also try the Chrome Beta app. I've mess with it for a while, but they still have a lot to do just for stability...and it's been taking time away from checking out ICS.
Hope any or all of this helps out.
Edit: Forgot to mention you'll need to setup a new application-specific password to get Chrome Sync going again. I don't remember where though. gl
Dear SBGS FTW, thank you and your method worked my links are syncing again
Oh god this is annoying, my tab is almost perfect but those fukin bookmarks...
Can't get them to work no matter what, how come they have made it so difficult...
Plus, if I could just export from Chrome and then import to my tab, that would be enough.. but noooo.........
