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.

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.

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
Sent from my SPH-D710 using Tapatalk
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.
I installed an app on the note 2. Before I could use it it stated that I had to disable the app setting for automatically closing. It took me to that setting and I disabled it. I also did one other change thinking I coukd go back to this setting and change it if I didn't like it. Now I have no way of getting back to that setting area on phone. My Gmail is now on the right side of my screen so is all my pics on right side of screen.
No it Is not on the one handed option.
I use the Internet and now I have to manual close it when as before it would do it once I exited. I removed the app and have looked all over for this setting. I can not reacción whereI was.
I don't mind that the Internet doesn't close that is what I wanted but now my Gmail Is messed up. Where was this setting area that it took me too??
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.
I'm using RM-R835F (this is LTE capable) which is paired to my phone using BT. My career currently doesn't support numbershare so I can't set LTE up from the phone Galaxy Wear app (I'm in Canada).
What I want to do is to get a new plan for the watch with a separate number and everything. So the watch should have a separate phone number and data plan.
I saw some steps to use the watch completely independent of the phone. However I want to keep getting app notifications from the phone over BT. For talk, text and data from the watch, I want to use the separate plan and number for the watch.
Is there a way to achieve this? I searched around but couldn't find a way so far.
Thanks in advance!
I use separate from the phone plane with indepedent number. I have all notifications from phone and use watches for calls and sms from its esim phone number. Set Always On in mobile settings on watch.
P.S? It may cause battery drain due always on mobile network on the watches.

On the watch just go into settings, connections, mobile networks and set mobile networks to always on. Make sure mobile data is on as well (right below mobile networks). Then under connections menu check to make sure under data usage, mobile data is on as well.

He means steps to connect esim with indepedent number. In my country no one operator have possibility to work in watch officially (menu with QR code is hidden). So we get to this menu by simple manipulations.
Here is an instruction:
1. Go to Galaxy Wearable on your phone -> at the bottom of the list, select "About Galaxy Wearable" -> tap quickly 5 times on the label " Galaxy Watch Plugin"
2. In the menu that opens, go to the "Test SIM Feature" section and turn on the "Current QR TestMode" and "Current Test Mode" items (the later may not be necessary)
3. Go Galaxy Wearable on your phone to "Mobile networks" - > select any SIM card
4. After the window displays that "failed", a button appears at the bottom of the screen, now you can to connect any esim card by scanning QR code.

Thanks! I have enabled the option on my phone. I'll get a QR code and give it a go today.
Update: Got my esim from a provider in Canada that's not officially supported by Samsung. However calls and texts seem to work just fine after adding the plan to watch. Haven't tried using data yet.

I just recieved my eSim and it worked fine to add it to the watch, it got reception etc. However to activate it the carrier want's me to give the a code they send via sms. Can the watch recieve sms from both its separate number and the phones number?? The watch never recieves the sms from my carrier..

Yes mine gets notification from both. Your watch must be connected to your provider. Try disconnecting BT connection and send a text to your watch while it's connected to the provider to test.

Guys, please help me!
I tried these settings but something I f*cked up.
Now In step3, "select any sim card" is not possible for me, because it always uses some weird test data ((
So when I hit "Add mobile plan", it is not asking anything just goes ahead and tries activating some silly test plan
Is there a way out without wiping the phone to 0? And probably trashing it away..
Hi if you have already scanned the esim QR code then you need to ask your provider to generate another or find another esin somewhere as the QR can normally only be use once on many providers.
The watch can only hold 2 esim profiles so look under settings mobile plans to see if any are present ... and if required make space by deleting UNUSED esim plans.....
when you have checked that you will have space for the new esim profile ...proceed as described above ....by the other members...
but follow carefully and it should work ...

I haven't already scanned the esim QR. I just tapped 5 times on the plugin version, and looked around in that menu.
Before that, when I hit "Add mobile plan", my phone showed a dialog asking which plan I want to use (my phone holds 2 SIM).
But after I went into that hidden menu and tried some options there, my phone is not asking which plan I want to use.
And analysing the watch's SDB log, I can see that it tries activating a mobile plan which is not on my phone. It is the test plan I might selected when I was in that hidden plugin menu.
That's why I'm asking if you are aware of any option which could help my phone to get back it's "normal" operation and ask my desire of which mobile plan I want to activate.
after clicking 5 times on the plugin version a new menu pops up
if you have then selected QR testmode then go back to the main wear app you should get asked to scan a QR code with the phone cam when you select manage mobile plan ....note i normally reboot the phine after changing the test qr code.
to reset to nornal just click 5 times on plugin version then deselect QR testmode and any other options you have clicked in the past then reboot the ohone and then load the wear app again ..the next time you select manage mobile plan the app will try to add a mobile plan from your phones sim provider as normal...
First I haven't even selected QR testmode, I only looked into that menu, and tried selecting options within Automatic eSIM. I clicked eSim Auto Test, and selected an operator there. After that I clicked on "Reset auto test values".
After that wearable app is not asking me which SIM I want to use during "Add mobile plan" and it uses by default that test MCC and MNC which I selected in "Auto Test" in plugin's hidden menu.
I tried restarting the phone, the watch. Tried completely removing wearables, and reinstalling, this made my watch reset to factory as well.
Even after this process, wearable is not asking me which SIM I want to use.
Now after all, I finally succeed with activation with QR code, and don't want (can) add more plans to the watch, so I'm satisfied, just wanted to let you know that you can really have chance screwing up things in that menu!
Guys, this method is not working anymore as the updated Wearable app doesn't contain this 5tap-magic.
Do you know any other way to enable the QR-testmode with the latest wearable app (2.2.42.21.083061 + watch active2 plugin: 2.2.08.21081751)
Is (was) this menu implemented in the plugin or the wearable app? I'm trying to find the spots in the apks.
Thx
Forgive me. Have to press 5times on "Galaxy Wearable" label now.
Edit: i think i do not own the same model :/
