Hey, not exactly sure about posting in the right sub forum but i have a little issue
i am currently using a CDMA Hero for Sprint and everything has been going well after fixing the battery issue with a different messaging app, but now a new little annoying issue has arised.
lately when i have opened my menu bar for all my apps i have been getting multiple icons for the same apps
Examples such as Bonsai Blast and Teeter have 2 icons right next to each other that are the same. They both work but its kinda annoying
also some of the applications names are incorrect. instead of ChompSMS its titles is now com.p1.chompsms along with Google Voice being voicemail.xxx... etc
i have tried searching the forums quite a bit and haven't quite found an answer for this issue and am not sure if it applies to the GSM version (thinking it might be a bug for Sense UI)
anyone have the same issue?
i have tried reinstalling the applications and rebooting and it still keeps happening. (not really wanting to hard reset...)
Any help would be very much appreciated!
Thanks!
you are not alone, yeah for i have two print voicemail apps one with a long com..... something same with google sky and google voice app its odd but hey hopefully we will get eclair soon
I don't think it is the Sense UI. I think it is Android. They show the long namsspace name for the application...and some apps show other weird names as well. It happens when you reboot the phone, at least for me. I think it has to do with the way the apps register themselves when the phone boots. Or it may be sloppy programming in the manifest files. Not sure.
Having the same issues. Google Sky will actually show up as the first application, and titled something with about an End User Agreement. When launched it pops up the EUA and only option is a force close.
Not sure what is causing it either.

I had that happen also. I uninstalled and reinstalled the app and it fixed itself.

I bet if you reboot your phone the issue will return though...try it!!!
If that IS the case, see my post in this CDMA forum about app versions reverting. what has happened is that your app, in this case google sky, has reverted to an initial version, without telling you.

Just tested this and you are correct! Google Sky maps and Google Voice are the ones that do this for me.

I've confirmed that this app version reverting issue happens with at least 16 apps, not just the two Google apps you mention. I have a support question open with Google, so hopefully they can figure it out soon. It makes people think something else is wrong entirely.

I really think this now too,
so far i reinstalled Flixster Movies and Handcent SMS and when my phone reboots i get some different weird icon for both that are not the original ones.
also with the reboot, one of my original problems happens with the names of ChompSMS and Google Voice with their com.xxx.etc names
it has to be something changed on a reboot.

Mercado, would you mind also informing them that a reboot also is causing apps to revert to their older versions? I think the problems are related. Thanks!

Oops! Sorry for making it sound like I am in on the android developer work. It is way over my head. Just thought I'd share a link I'd stumbled across. If it's kosher, perhaps you might want to share the url to your version reverting bug with that group. Not sure how that works.
In any case, it does seem like this is all related (missing icons, duplicate icons, renamed shortcuts, version issues, etc.). Unfortunately, it so far HTC has not acknowledged their role in the matter. Hopefully as the bug reports add up, they'll do something about it. Or, maybe they'll simply release Android 2.0 with Sense built in.

Any way to get this in scandinavia? Its only available through market, and i cant access the paid apps sections from Norway
It has some big updates from last version, and i want it realy bad.
try to contact the developer
It's now running at v3.02, although to be fair I can't see any difference between this and the previous v3.01.... purely fix's one would assume.
The only thing which annoys me is each time it's updated it kills my settings and you have to go through the whole procedure again... i.e. Location, Clock skin, Weather Skin, and all other manner of boxes to tick/configure.
Why it does not draw from previous info beats me.... but I suppose that's the downside in a widget.

Not being able to purchase items really infuriates me.
Developers harp on (rightly so though) about supporting them and not falling foul to piracy but when you come up against stumbling blocks such as this it's no wonder certain titles get pirated.
Now I do not condone any form of piracy FULL STOP but in your case if the developer will not offer you the chance to pay other than the Market and you can not obtain it legally through pay sources then a search would 'possibly' bring up a pirated version.
I tell you this NOT to entice you to do this but because a Google search does list it as available.
What you do with it is entirely up to you..........
Thanks for all the tips

The only time Beautiful Widgets didn't save my settings was after a major version upgrade (like updating from 2.x to 3.0). All other updates carried over my settings perfectly.

Yes, you are quite right. It was the transition from version 2 to 3 which caused the problem.
Not sure what I thinking of at the time.
I'm running chromi-x. My chrome browser's address bar search feature is somewhat hijacked...
<search term> goes to google/yahoo/bing (as set in settings) but it searches for: http://www.search-goal.com/?q=<search term>&affID=<somenumber>&babsrc=amob_ait
Has anyone seen an android browser hijack? Any idea how to fix? AVG A/V hasn't had any luck....
EDIT/PS: This is not happening in the default android browser.
Oops. Didn't read properly. Sorry. Forgot you said it searches the correct engine.
Edit: after a few Google searches, I can't find anything about search-goal.com, and the site has no information about itself either. My best guess is an app you installed is doing it. Uninstall anything you may have installed in the last week or so, and see if the problem goes away.
My suggestion would be to uninstall reinstall if that doesn't work, reflash the rom. I just went to search-goal.com on my pc and it looks dangerious. Im wasn't aware the homepage could be changed without user input, if you've installed any root access apps (essentially any apk files) id uninstall them.
Thanks for the suggestions. I tried uninstalling chrome. Got it uninstalled but had a heck of a time re-installing. It would NOT wipe /data/data/com.android.chrome. I finally removed that with TWRP. After reinstalling chrome it's still doing it. I've done an "install over" rom install (install, no data wipe) and it's still doing it. As much as I've tried to avoid it I think I'm going to have to wipe/reload/reinstall apps one by one. My last shot is I'm trying to find where the search engines are set up if it's a file somewhere to see if I can edit it.
Definitely malicious given the one time I tried to open it on a PC that I knew I could clean if I needed to it came up looking like a google clone.
Thankfully it's not actually loading that site so it's not doing anything but being annoying when I try to search.
same in my case -> solution
I had the same issue at my tf101 (at Team EOS rom) - and I was able to find the reason: in my case A.I. type keyboard app and the so called customized web search capabilities. When you remove this "feature" chrome search is back to normal.
Happy camper!

Many thanks be to timbetu! I shut off all my extra keyboards I was trying out. (FloatNSplit, GO, Hacker's, & Perfect Keyboard Free). That left the Android, ASUS, and Google voice typing turned on. Sure enough it went away! I was actively using FloatNSplit at the time. Will do some experimenting to find out if it was that one or another.
You have saved me from having to resetup my tablet!

I'm using floatnspin keyboard and that seems to be my issue. There is a setting for web searches and once I turned that off my browser worked normally again. I guess thats a new "feature".
Had the same problem, uninstalling the app fixed it. Please flag this app in Google play so Google can know about this! If you ask me, changing the default search engine without notifying the user is pretty nasty and malicious.
FloatNSplit and A.I. keyboard seems to be the same app.

I recognized this problem at my tablet and searched for an solution. During my search I found this topic here - but unfortunately without help. So I tried everything at my Asus and as I discovered the guilty app I just shared this finding with other affected users (because I knew of this thread).
I have this issue where every time I install a new app, an extra homescreen is added to my phone. I can remove this by creating an app shortcut on the blank screen and removing it, or by restarting my phone.
Is anyone else experiencing this issue? And have you found a way of stopping this from happening.
Am I right in assuming that you have made sure that a new app icon is not being created every time a new app is installed from the store? That setting can be found in the Play Store. Sorry if this is too obvious, sometimes it is the little things.
Yes, I've had this too. It's not specific to the N5, I also get it on my other devices running GEL.
They disappear by themselves as well. No biggie.

I guess from years of rooting and changing roms and such the Google Play website shows hundreds of apps installed on my device that of course aren't.
By using Google Play on my phone and going to ALL I was able to painfully manually delete many of them but after a certain point it stops loading very old apps and no longer gives me an option to remove them from the list resulting in the website showing wrong results.
I Googled a solution but found nothing anyone here have any ideas?

My apps is what the OP is referring to. The only way to delete them that I have found is one by one. One of the true PIA's of the Play Store.

I've often wondered this as well. It'd be nice if the store would only display 90 days of download recency. It'd be even better if you could sub-cat the downloads by device (if you've had multiple).

I agree.
There should be an option within the Store to sync the device you're on @ that time and show what's been installed/uninstalled from Play Store for that specific device.

I don't know who that's directed to but I have ocd and don't see anyone making light of it.
Anyway I don't even mind removing apps one by one but it seems after you go back several years time (on your phone mind you under ALL) it stops loading very old apps and there is just no way to remove them at that point.

OK I apologise then. I thought YOU were making light of OCD. You know, the whole "If I don't do xxx then I will die" kind of OCD (of which I am sure you know, there is no other). I'm sorry to hear you have that. My suggestion would be not to visit the play website. It's definitely preferable to feeling you will die because it is untidy.
Although the way you phrased this thread, it reads more like "I like things tidy" than actually having OCD, so again I apologise
No problem. It's not like this is keeping me up at night but it is something that has been on my min d to fix for sometime.
I'm sure I'm not alone in thinking chat bubbles kind of... Suck. They're buggy, they disappear at random, they don't work properly, etc.
So I'm hoping, through rooting or something like that, there's a way to disable bubbles entirely to make Facebook Messenger think the device doesn't support them. I know for a fact that on a Note 20 Ultra running 11, you can completely disable bubbles and Messenger goes back to using chatheads - but disabling them on my Pixel 3a (Android 11) just prevents any sort of popup notification.
Is there a command, rom, Magisk, or something to do this? And I'd rather not install an old version of Messenger again since Facebook disabled the ability to share pictures and videos for old versions.
FB is malware... and that's being too kind.
I tossed FB well over a decade ago.
It's far worse today... the bubbles are the least of its issues.
You may be able to turn off the bubbles in notification setting or globally...

No, I compiled an apk that disables the Bubble Notification API within the app, and in turn re-enables the default messenger chat heads. It's not hard to disable the bubbles, but that's not the point. Almost no one in this thread wants to disable bubble notifications because it does not bring back chat head functionality.

Lol okay but you had already warned the guy twice about Facebook's security issues, why'd you have to say it AGAIN and word it the way you did? He obviously acknowledges now that he's basically giving away his personal information for someone else to sell, so just leave it at that.

Honestly bro, I wouldn't update to 11 just yet. Even if the apk I provided was perfect (it's not though), I still prefer Android 10 over 11. Aside from that, there is one standing issue with the apk I compiled. Since Android 11 fixed some "issues" with the Apps Drawing Over Other Apps, there are now display issues with Messenger's chat heads, but only while in landscape mode. It works flawlessly in portrait mode, but when you enter landscape mode for some reason the heads fly off the screen to the bottom right and when you open a chat it opens it below the viewport, therefore just displaying an opaque overlay and nothing else. Very annoying for gamers who use Messenger a lot like I do, but for most it isn't a huge deal.

First of all, thanks for the detailed explanation
So the landscape mode problem you just mentioned is exactly the one I hate the most about Messenger on Android 11
I thought your apk can fix that, but turns out it couldn't

Yeah, sorry about that man. Unfortunately, I'm not smart enough to properly decompile Messenger to change values and stuff like that. Under normal circumstances I would have done it already, but Facebook uses their own method of decompilation protection, with their own custom value types and things like that. People have tried on multiple occasions to decompile it but it's just too complicated. Not sure what they're trying to protect, to be honest. But if someone else would be willing to help me out with decompiling, I'd be glad to fix the display issues!
