[Q] Annoying "application stopped working" pop-up message. How to turn it off?
I'm on 4.0.2 stock and the app that stopped working was Taptu (RSS-reader).
I have set the widgets of the app to update every 2 hours and I figured the reason I got the message was that it was trying to update, but could not for some reason. I went into the app and tried multiple times, getting some of my feeds at a time, until it all worked.
Oh well, but my problem was that ICS gave me this annoying pop-up message that the application has stopped working. I pressed "OK" but it came up 3 times before I went into the app to check. I guess it was trying to update all those times.
The problem was that damn spammy pop-up message ICS gave me. I was in the middle of taking pictures.
I don't want those pop-up messages at all, is there any way to turn them off? I couldn't find a box to tick/untick in settings.
if an app is crap, and it seems is it, uninstall it
why u want keep an app that crash all the time?
That was not my question, but you're right none-the-less.
My point was that I don't want that message. Every app can stop working / FC or whatever, it happens, especially on a new platform.
I just don't want to get those pop-up messages from the system, in the middle of doing something else, and would like to turn the messages off.
i understood ur question, but i don't think u can disable that message..maybe in a future custom rom it will be possible
anyway, im using my gn from 2 months on the stock rom, and i saw that message very few times, usually on a new installed app, so soon uninstallet because it was not working..and never when an app was in background..a working app should work..none of my actual apps/games (about 80, maybe not too much anyway) crash
You're right about not having to live with a badly working app, but when it's working Taptu is very nice.
I love the ICS widget where you can go through stories like cards, the same way the photo-album works I think.
I'll keep an eye on it in the future and maybe have to search for a replacement.
But any app can FC / stop working, I don't want that pop-up message ever. I could live with it being a notification message, but that pop-up sure is intrusive.

Has anyone noticed the stock Messages app has some glitches in it now. Specifically, I've found 2:
1. If I'm typing a text, about 50% of the time, the screen will suddenly jump to the very top of the conversation list. This also removes the window you are typing in and stops you typing. So if you have around 200 messages in that particular conversation, it can be quite irritating to have to start flicking back down to continue.
2. This one is less frequent but I'm now sure it exists. When I tap on a particular conversation from the main list, occasionally I get taken to a completely different name/conversation. I used to go back to the main list to see if I mis-tapped, but the conversation it went to wasn't even close.
I've now gone to Handcent because of the irritation, but I'm wondering if it was only me that saw this?
i have the first problem too... very frustrating but i like the stock sms application because its so simple... tried chomp sms and handset 2 months ago and went back to stock app because i couldnt search in greek to add a contact (i dont know if it has been fixed)...
non rooted desire with froyo
yep, got these problems too, however I'm not on stock froyo, NeoPhyTe 5.0. I have also noticed another problem, whenevery I'm scrolling through the widget, sometimes all messages seem to be from one contact, even though they're not! weird, but then I let it reload and all seems fine
Strange thing happened this morning. Using the device clicked a link in the XDA Developers app, but then canceled it. Device immediately locked up. Did battery pull after waiting 10 minutes. Device froze at lockscreen after booting. Battery pull, waited 10 minutes, could not get past lockscreen (gave a little vibrate when I touched the screen). Cleared Dalvik, booted itself a few times. Finally got past lockscreen, but kept getting Apex Launcher has stopped working - clicking OK just bring up error message again. Tried fixing permissions, no change - just keep getting Apex Launcher has stopped working loop, and I can't get past it...
HELP!!!!! Any ideas?????
EDIT: Data is working as I keep getting email which I can load quickly from status bar after hitting ok on the error message. But then the error message shows again in front of the email client.
ICS - Abduction ROM, Apex Launcher latest stable.

I had a similar problem a while back when I first tried out CM7...
I uninstalled the pre-installed ADW and installed ADW EX but for some reason when I'd start the phone ADW would constantly force close and the only thing I could access was stuff that popped up in the notifications bar.
Now, it seems my problem was a little different in that when I would access something else, I wouldn't continue to get all sorts of ADW errors like it seems you do with Apex after opening the email client. I really wouldn't expect that to happen... the launcher is just an app, so if you've switched to the email app and Apex force closes once, there should be nothing starting it up again to allow it to force close again (until you press the home button).
Nevertheless I'll tell you what I did and maybe it'll work for you...
I wanted to be able to get to the market so that I could uninstall ADW and then reinstall it. Since I couldn't get to it via the launcher, I did a long press on the search button, and did a voice web search for something... anything will do, you just need to get to the browser. Once you're in the browser, go to the android market website. It should ask if you want to open in the Marker or the Browser. Choose Market and viola... now you can uninstall and reinstall.
Hope that helps.
Thanks for the reply. That sounds like it would have worked, I had to go out and needed my phone. So I just flashed (updated) to Abduction 1.81 - twice. The first time still was getting the Apex error. Very strange, but it seems better now. Thanks again.

or go to settings apps - all - apex launcher - clear defaults .....apex often does that when it needs to update
Hello there,
I am posting this thread with a problem. Roughly a year ago I purchased the HTC M9 (after 2 very satisfied years using the M7). Up untill about a week ago everything was working fine for me, the only small issue I've had so far is the lack of memory space. Although this issue was easily solved by simply upgrading my device using a Sandisk SD card.
However, since a couple of days my device started overheating very quickly and lagging. Again, I tried to fix this by rebooting the phone and using CCleaner to clean up some of the junk on the device. Now here comes the actual problem: this morning I was simply using the Youtube app to watch a video when my device suddenly crashed (with 50% battery life). I plugged my phone into a charger and booted up the device again but I get a an error report saying "Sense Home stopped working", which means I'm currently unable to use my device. For some reason the HTC report function is bugged aswell, as I cannot seem to send an error report to HTC.
Can anybody tell me what is going on here and how I could solve this problem? I'm very dependent on my phone because of university and work and would like to fix this as soon as possible and preferably not with a hard reset.
Thanks in advance.
Okay I went ahead and tried out something myself based on the following on a thread on androidcentral com titled ""Unfortunately, HTC Sense has stopped" loop" (I'm not allowed to post links yet)
So I went to Apps and cleared the cache of the Sense Home app (without being in safe mode). My phone started working again, but I lost alot of information as apps like Whatsapp and Google Chrome are completely reset and I lost my contacts. Is there any way I can fix this process?
I cleared my cache but my device is still keeping me in that damned Loop. I don't want to lose my pictures or videos. What else can I do? I have an HTC One M9.

"Boot the phone as per normal, ignore the "Sense Home has stopped" message for now.
Pull down the notification drawer,
Tap on the cog to get into settings (once in settings clicking ok on the "Sense home has stopped" message should make it dissapear so you can see what you are doing),
Go into Apps,
Go into Sense Home,
Tap on storage,
Tap on "Clear Data".
This will delete all the data stored with the Sense Home app, not your photos or messages of contacts or anything like that.
You will have to re-configure your home screen(s) though :-/
Once you've done that you should be good to go.....You may need to reboot."
I have the same problem which started at the same time.
Tried everything, clearing Sense cache, system cache from recovery, installed custom recovery and Revolution HD rom its all the same... Everytime after few minutes or hours same problem occurs! Loop Sense crashing, rebooting, wifi turning on and off by itself...
Please someone help
Hi guys, I had the same problem just two weeks ago. Tried cache clearing, factory reset, yada yada yada. Despite all the error report pop ups I managed to use Google app to get to play store, and updated sense home from there. That did the trick. I lost all my contacts and apps but still the phone works again.

Thanks, great solution, apps and everything still there - I was so worried. For me this problem was a show stopper, do I even consider getting another HTC phone?? Why can't HTC modify Home Sense to disable the alert, once initiated, when the battery is fully charged, then this very annoying, irritating and phone disabling problem would just go away?
I am an avid user of Textra, I've thoroughly checked the Battery Optimizations and turned off "auto optimization", which has helped quite a few of my apps stop from restarting every time switch apps and attempt to return to them.
I tried reinstalling the app to no avail. Basically what happens is, every time I am in a conversation, "go home", and attempt to return to the app, it has restarted on the main conversation page vs the conversation I was in. It's super annoying when you're trying to sms back and forth with someone and you have to keep clicking their name to continue talking to them.
I tried installing YAATA as well, and it is having the same issues. I looked at all the settings and see no internal reason the apps are restarting. I currently am using PULSE SMS and it's working fine, and is not restarting each time I multitask to another app and back.
I have also checked under Developer options to ensure "Don't keep activities" was not selected, and that the "Background process limit" is set to standard, which it is.
Any advice?

Hello,
I have got this great phone, with OriginOS, unfortunately. Removed most of the Chinese apps. Now the phone is doing well.
I have one single issue. "Signal" app DOES NOT WORK.
I removed vivo.pem. The phone is much better with notifications generally, although the battery drains way faster.
However, the Signal app notification still does not work. I tried every single solution out there. Nothing worked.
Current situation: I receive the messages. I get the notification "sound", but nothing visual. No bubble. No kuck screen notification. No floating. No nothing. Sound only.
I uninstalled the app and reinstalled it dozens of times. Joined beta. Left beta. Installed from play store. Installed from app source.
Nothing worked.
One piece of information that might help. When installing the app, I get the first couple of notifications " visually". Then it stops. And this can be repeated. So, every time I uninstall it and reinstall it again, I get a couple of notifications before it stops.
Again, all permissions are given to the app. I do receive the messages, but not the notification. I either need to hear the sound or open the app manually to check them.
All my other communications apps work flawlessly. Whatsapp, outlook, sms.
Please help.
I have IQOO 9 Pro.
I have a similar issue with Google Message. I do not get notificiation at all.
I do get them on my smartwatch though. Go figure !
This Origin OS is a bit of mystery tbh.

Same. I get the notification on my garmin watch. What's happening?
Try a light theme, maybe the dark one on the dark one has problems with notifications.
