Bummer - Samsung Epic 4G Touch

As I scroll through my emails, I'm noticing there is no select all button
To delete emails at once.unless I'm missing something? my evo had a select all to delete.
Also,i had to reset my phone.i was using launcher pro and I started checking out
The sprint id app and made it the default home.i could still use lp
but, everytime I hit the home button it would make the original home screen
the default.i did clear data in the apps list.and couldn't get lp to launch correctly.

In the email app, hit menu, then delete....the delete boxes then appear

I found that.but, I was hoping for a select all button to show up
So I don't have to manually check each box off for deletion.

3 different incredible 2's same damn problem

I have had and returned 3 dinc2's and everyone of them will uninstall a random app or two after a week. Today my gmail app went and now I have no market access. I am sick of doing factory reset after reset. Is there any way this can be fixed?
I have a feeling this is user error...
are you sure you're not just hiding the apps in the launcher? this can be done in sense based roms.
When you head into settings/applications is the app still listed in there?
Yes it is. When I try to open gmail or market the screen goes white for a few seconds then right back to the home screen.

Could be a conflict with another unrelated app that you have installed on all 3 of them. Just an idea.
Been reading about this happening to a ton of other people since the gingerbread update.

thanks knipp. Anywhere I can view or keep an eye out for this information?
Had the same problem, I know this sounds weird but go to settings> applications> manage applications>all, then go to contacts storage..go ahead and clear everything and then try to sync again. Its not necessarily a problem with the phone, its a problem with sync thats why you cant access gmail or your market.
I just lost the use of the clock app.must be the same issue.
Sent from my ADR6350 using XDA App
I only heard and had the clock widget problem but fixed it so far with a factory reset. I contacted HTC when it happened and they said the GB update shouldn't have affect it. So i'm getting mixed views on what is going on.
I lost my dialer at one point.. had to factory reset to get it back. Annoying to say the least. Hope its fixed soon, or root for GB comes.. either will satisfy me.
also having this issue... can't pinpoint what's causing it - definitely a headache when it renders the phone itself inoperable and all you can do is factory reset it... I've tweeted to HTC, emailed their support, and posted on their support forums. Hopefully what knipp said is true...
Also lost clock and dialer. Did factory reset. Everything ok for1 week. Lost clock again. Waiting for dialer to crap out again. When it does gonna return to Verizon for something else. Maybe Thunderbolt. LTE was turned on 2 weeks ago.

No sadly I don't. I just ran across it reading the forums. Allot of people have seen it happen

If you are rooted you can fix the clock issue by unfreezing it in the free version of titanium backup. For some reason, if you install an app that interacts with the clock, it freezes itself.

HTC's instructions to fix the issue... may or may not be helpful - and I'm waiting on a 2nd reply as to whether or not this is something they're trying to fix/patch:
ANDROID – DUAL PROCESS ERROR ISSUE AFTER SOFTWARE UPGRADE
The first process error involving the core programming, you might consider clearing your Contacts Storage on your device. If you do not have your Contacts list backed up anywhere, you should consider sending a copy to your memory card.
======================================================
Backing up your contacts to the storage card
1. From the Home screen, tap APPLICATION LAUNCHER BUTTON > People.
2. Press MENU > tap Import/Export > Export to SD card.
3. Select an account or type of contacts to export > tap OK.
When you get your Contacts list saved to your memory card, you can forward a copy using a .VCF or Vcard to your Gmail account. After you have your Contacts saved, you can proceed with the troubleshooting steps (PROCESS.COM.ANDROID.ACORE).
1. Turn off synchronization
2. Back up your Contacts to the memory card then to Gmail if you would like.
3. Press Home > Menu > Settings > Applications > Manage Applications
4. Scroll down to Contacts Storage application in "Manage applications"
5. Tap on Clear cache then Clear data (ATTENTION! ALL CONTACTS DATA ON PHONE WILL BE LOST!)
6. Turn on sync again.
When the screen opens up, you will come to the Application Information screen. You will find several selections on this screen but you are looking for clear cache. If the button is green, you should tap on the button. After the cache is cleared, you should tap on clear data and there should be a confirmation window afterwards. You tap on OK to confirm and this step should clear the data in the Contact Storage application only. After your screen comes back up, you need to soft reset your device.
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
Changing General Sync settings
1. Press HOME > MENU > tap Settings > Accounts & Sync.
2. Select or clear the following:
§ Background data -> If this is selected, applications can send and receive online account information even if you are not currently using them.
§ Auto-sync -> If this is selected, applications can use the sync schedule defined in the account settings. If this is cleared, you will need to sync accounts manually.
Synchronizing an account manually
1. Press HOME > MENU > tap Settings > Accounts & sync.
2. Tap the account that you want to sync.
3. Tap Sync now.
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
GOOGLE APPLICATION ISSUES
If you are still experiencing issues with your Google Applications, I suggest you consider clearing the data in this application through the Manage Applications screen.
===================================================
1. Press Home > Menu > Settings > Applications > Manage Applications
2. Clear data from the Google Apps application in "Manage applications"
When your device screen comes back up, you should complete another soft reset. If there is still no resolution, you should attempt another factory reset but try the steps using the hardware keys instead.
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
Performing a factory reset using phone buttons
If you cannot turn on your phone or access the phone settings, you can still perform a factory reset by using the buttons on the phone.
======================================================
1. Remove the battery, wait for a few seconds, then reinsert the battery.
2. Press and hold the VOLUME DOWN button, and then briefly press the POWER/LOCK button.
3. Wait for the screen with the three Android images to appear, and then release the VOLUME DOWN button.
4. Press VOLUME DOWN to select FACTORY RESET, and then press the POWER/LOCK button.
Just received a follow up:
"Dear jntdroid,
I appreciate you sending another email after attempting the troubleshooting steps from the previous reply. I do not have any information about this being an issue but you are correct that there are a number of blog sites with a number of threads concerning this subject. We have found that the process error is usually affiliated with a third party application interfering with some core programming within the device.
Unfortunately, I do not have any information about an update but if Verizon is working on something, you should receive a notification on your Android device when the update is available on the server.
If you need any further assistance, you are welcome to send another inquiry through the HTC website by going through the Support page then tapping ‘send us an email’. You should input all the necessary information requested on the page."
To the OP, or others with this issue, were you by any chance messing with any of these custom skins when the problem occurred?
See here... they might be the problem.
Yes. I have several of them loaded.

Just uninstalled Xperanced Arc to see what happens. Clock came back imediatly after. Seems to definitely be the problem. Sad thing is I really liked that one but I've been using Black Expresso for a while. Still have it installed and running. Still have clock. Hopefully it's just the Xperianced Arc. I'll report back if I have any other issues. I have several different ones installed. Thanks for the info. I've been missing my timer.

Can't add contacts

Hello. For some reason I can't add contacts anymore. When I press "add contact " is comes up with a blank screen with "save" at the bottom but no form to add the contact. It also does it if I try to add a number from the dialer as a contact. Thanks for your help.

Did you either freeze or uninstall AT&T address book? You need this to add contacts.
yes, that was it. however when I try to restore it, it doesnt seem to be working it just says "restoring app + data" and the status circle just goes around and around. been doing this like 10 mins now.
Any suggestions?

Anyone getting mobile life contacts check status notification

Keep getting a notification that says mobile life contacts check status. I click on it and it doesnt do anything. I clear it... Comes back again within like 4-5 hours. How do i get this to go away?
Sent from my SGH-T989 using XDA
Don't know how to get rid of it, but just wanted you to know you weren't the only one that has it.
Also, you can't remove the mobile life contacts from the Accounts settings page either. I tried and it said it is required for some applications to work.
Strange. I guess when we start getting ics based off of the update we will be able to move it.
Sent from my SGH-T989 using XDA
I just got the same notification. Not sure how to get rid of it completely. Maybe titanium backup?
Possible Solution
I can't post a link yet since I am new but if you google "check status mobilelife contacts on htc" I found the support.tmoble one has a solution. I am about to try the google account one because I don't want to do a reset for something simple like this. Hope this helps everyone
I froze it using titanium backup.

Did the same, here.
Fix:
1.) Settings > Applications > All tab
2.) Find Mobile Life Contacts
3.) Force Stop and Clear Data
Reboot phone to ensure it doesn't pop back up.
Cancel that, starts again on reboot.
I thought i was finally helpful.

Got that as well. Backed it up and uninstalled using Titanium.
It won't mess up anything if you freeze it. Use Titanium Pro to freeze, and you will never see it again.
There's definitely tons of garbage to freeze with the official tmo release that's for sure.. TI pwnage
This worked for me
Resolution steps
To fix the MobileLife contacts not syncing, follow these steps:
If you wish to continue using MobileLife contact backup you must perform a master reset of your device. To perform a master reset of the device, follow the steps below:
From home screen press Menu.
Tap Settings.
Tap Storage.
Tap Factory data reset.
After the factory reset is complete, re-sync MobileLife back to your device through accounts and sync.
For an alternate work around and to back up contacts via a Google account, complete the following steps:
From home screen tap Applications.
Tap Contacts or People.
Press Menu.
Tap Import/Export.
Tap Export to SD card.
Tap MobileLife Contacts.
Tap OK on confirm export.
You will now be returned to Contacts or People.
Press Menu.
Tap Import/Export.
Tap Import from SD card.
Tap Google Account.
Tap OK to continue.
Your contacts are now synced with your Google account. Please navigate to Accounts and sync and verify that automatic synchronization is setup.

Not to be rude, but this just doesnt make any sense. On previous custom ROMs that were debloated, all I had to do was restore that apk using titanium and I was good to go.
This not withstanding, I recently flashed Darkside ICS, and I attempted to restore the APK, but now my contacts will not sync. Are there other processes that are required in order for the Tmo contacts to sync? If so, what are they? I personally like having my contacts synced to MobileLife...
Just to help out. What you are looking for is the "Back Up" and then is will have the version numbers. Freeze it for now. Then Delete it later to make sure you don't mess something up.
This should have the Icon of a rotated white book with T-Mobile color arrows on top and bottom of the icon.
freeze it. I did and it took away the account inside the "Accounts and Sync" area of settings.
Now only my Gmail account is there.
You will need the Pro version of Titanium, but it is worth every penny and more.
I know this is an old thread but I ran across it and wanted to put exactly what needed to be done.
Thanks

You are thinking about it wrong that is why you can't find the setting.
you need to go to Apps in the settings menu, then go down to Gmail.
Once you open the gmail you will have a few options, one is clear defaults (it will be down at the bottem).
Once you clear the defaut flage from Gmail, then the next time you click e-mail you will get a popup window asking you what app to use.
You can select the app you want (active sync account) and either press [just once] or [always]. (note you can double tap for Just once).
If you click always it will set that app as the default and going forward that app will be opened (untill you clear defaults on that app).
Good luck,
C

I mean when you are in the email app itself (the unified one). When you press compose (little pencil) what sets the default account that it chooses there?
Didn't find that option too. I'm using several account, but I mostly write from only one.

Only way I could find to solve it was to delete all but the account that I wanted to be default then re-add the others. Seems that first becomes the default. I know I have seen an option somewhere in past but maybe the last update took it away? I'm on .283
Yes, option has been there in .230, but on .283 it's gone.

Bypass "factory data protection" help?

tl;dr bought phone with box and everything, had pattern in it, put into recovery wiped it, now it's a brick.
So I bought a HTC One M9 from someone off of craigslist for $350. It was dead when I bought it, but I got pics of it with it on and functioning. It came with the box, charger and everything. So it had a pattern lock on it so I just put it into recovery mode and wiped it. Now it needs the original account to activate it. I've got a hold of the original person and they gave me the password and email but they reset the password so I think I have to wait 72 hours which is Tuesday night hopefully. But what if it doesn't work? Can I bypass it?

This works on Samsung, can try it out. Can't hurt.

So i have managed to get into the settings of the phone, so I've managed some progress at least!!
From the start up press next
Go to add another network, click advance options, proxy manual
add a couple letters under proxy hostname, push and hold what you added and select share
Select Messages, select yes, then allow
Push the three dots on the top right corner and select "Tips & Help" Press allow
Push the three lines by "how tos" select "diagnostics tools" push "phone storage"
Select Apps, scroll down to "Setup Wizard" select it, then push the i that's in a circle " force stop" it, select "ok"
At this point you should have all three navigation buttons on the screen at the bottom, pull the notification bar down and hit the gear. You're now in the settings of the phone!
You can enable developer options but it won't let you access them, but you're able to access all of the settings in the phone, but I'm not able to get to the home screen. But it's progress, maybe we can figure out a bypass with this information....

Yes, but it doesn't show any intonation in it. I was able to wipe the phone but it didn't clear the protection. The password the person gave to me after 72 hours finally worked, so I have a somewhat functioning M9. The signal is messed up it keeps dropping service. Verizon is sending me a new device, should be here later today.
