Motorola Droid Bionic :: Voice Search Ended Unexpectedly So Force Close
Sep 29, 2011
My voice search has stopped working completely! It gives me the error message that it has ended unexpectedly and I have to click on a button that says force close be it in the google search widget or in the gps mode.
I've just recently noticed that whenever I go to the app menu and hit the search key, I always get a Force Close with the error: "The application Homescreen (process com.motorola.home) has stopped unexpectedly. Please try again." It then opens the last app I was running. I tried to adjust the search settings to include/not include the apps. I have cleared out the search apps data. I am not running any other replacement homescreens or search apps
When I try to access the manage applications option under settings, it shows the spinning icon stating its working and then finally the apps look like they're loaded and when I try to scroll down it is EXTREMELY slow. After scrolling for a couple of seconds, it slows down and then stops. After being frozen for about a minute,I get the infamous black popup stating: process com.android.settings has stopped unexpectedly...force close.Also, I am unable to add quick dial contacts. I can get to the screen where it show 1-9 options with Voicemail alredy being #1, but I long press the number I want to edit and then select the contact to use but when it exits back to the quick dial page the contact I just chose is not there.I have the extended battery and prior to the GB update, my battery widget was showing 4200-4230 for the mV readings. Now, it is only showing up to 4155. I put the stock battery in to check that and the same thing, it stops at 4155.
When I go to all apps and press the search icon I get: "Sorry! The application Homescreen (process com.motorola.home) has stopped unexpectedly. Please try again." Only option is to press the Force close and from then on the phone does NOT work right. I end up having to power it off and back on.
I was having a issue with the Slacker app that came preinstalled on my Bionic. The app will freeze for about 5-10 seconds and then I have to force close it. I did try clearing the data and that did not work. I removed the updates for the app and that seems to have taken care of it. The app started acting funny after the .902 update and eventually became unusable until I did the above.
From the home screen if you go to "All apps" (btw.... I have 6 and a half pages of apps) and go to the second page of apps and hit the "Search" button at the bottom right hand side of your Atrix 2, it will result in a Force Close of the (process com.motorola.home). I have restarted my phone multiple time and have also taken out the battery. I have 3.7GB of free space on my Internal storage.
Whenever i press the search button while i am in apps screen in my razt xt910, it gives me "Sorry! The application Home-screen (process com.motorola.home) has stopped unexpectedly. try again". It than takes me to the home screen after a sizeable pause.
My Xperia X10 mini got switched off automatically and since then it is showing that "sorry, the process com.android.phone has stopped unexpectedly, with an option tab for 'Force close'." And since then it is not rceiving or sending any signal. It is also not getting connected to the PC. My repeated attempts by switching it OFF-on have yielded no results. That sorry window doesnot allow me to access anything in the mobile but for some duration of milliseconds when it is force closed with the option tab.
I downloaded the new update 2 days ago. Since that time when i try to access the internet, after just several seconds, I get an error message :The application Browser (process com.android.browser) has stopped unexpectedly. Please try again. " Then an option to force close.
Unable to dial from contacts. As soon as any contact is selected "The application Contacts Storage (process com.motorola.contacts) has stopped unexpectedly. Please try again.
Somewhere in all the options I had found a place where I could choose to force close/stop certain applications after a period of time after I've closed them. I can't find the setting anywhere..
I did erased cache I did restarted....now I did factory reset and still its doing it. I tried to erase email account by clicking 'my accounts' but can't even open this..
What a stress.....I don't have any problem with gmail. Its just other email (msn. corporate email) that I have in addition to gmail... what it does exactly is,
1. I click 'messaging' from home screen.
2. it opens with white background not showing any icon for msn or corp-email.
3. as soon as it covers white background it just comes back to home screen.
I have a Droid Razr and my carrier is Verizon. Ever since the motorola update on friday, 2/17 I cannot open 2 email accounts (bellsouth and godaddy) They both disappeared from my email icon and altough they are listed in My accounts they have a new green icon next to the name and underneath the email address it says com.motorola.blur.provider.email. The update didn't effect my gmail account. I have spoke to several Verizon reps and a Motorola rep after removing sims card, turning off and on and several soft resets nothing has worked. When I held down the email name in My Accounts it forces close. It says the application My Accounts (process com.motorola setup)has stopped unexpectedly pease try again.
Mainly happens while on facebook mobile, and will occure while typing completely randomly. The reply from support is simply update software, I can't see why I have to do all this, as apart from anything else I don't currently have a phone line for internet due to illegal BT sales activity! It is also suggested that I send phone off in a jiffy bag to be repaired if unsuccessful, and what do I do for a phone in the mean time?? Not only that they suggest that it will cost me if it is not a fault they cover.
My wife just got the Droid Razr after her X went bad. I was trying to set up her email accounts and the force close kept popping up. I tried a factory reset but that didn't help.
I go to apps > options > search and boom - "The application Homescreen (processcom.motorola.home) has stopped unexpectedly. Please try again." [Force close]I have confirmed other users are experiencing this.
I just tried to edit an existing event in my calendar and everytime I click edit I get a force close error. I've rebooted the phone but it's still doing the same thing.
When I have the App Drawer open and I press the search key, the Homescreen force closes with the following message: "The application Homescreen (process com.motorola.home) has stopped unexpectedly. Please try again." It consistently happens.
My Bionic was working fine all day. I put it my hip pouch and when I got it out in the car about 5 minutes later it had powered off and will not respond to the power button.I have reseated the battery a few times, including leaving it out for 8 hours. I tried another battery in the store but no change. I have tried the power button with one or both of the volume buttons pressed. To no avail.There is no response from it when it is connected to a charger but if I connect it to a PC USB cable with the battery removed I get a solid white notification LED. This is the only response I get of any kind but keeps me hoping that something is alive in there!!
Just to reiterate the phone was not dropped or anything, nor had it done any s/w updates as I have it set to update only when on WiFi, which it was not.Verizon are sending a replacement but I have a load of data and info and of course most of that is on the internal memory and I won't be able to recover it. Since I am an engineer working with software you wouold assume that I would have had it fully backed up as I do with the devices I work on .... but I kept meaning to get to that!! Please no responses of "You should have had it backed up". I know that and right now that won't help!!Does anyone have any ideas about forcing a reset that might get it to power up? I notice behind the battery cover that there are 4 open pins about half way up the case on the right (when looking from the back). I didn't know if these have any reset functionality
I am having force closes of system processes on my bionic. I have done a factory reset several times to which a day later the issues recur. Are there any files or something I can flash that will allow me to try and format everything and start over? When the errors pop up I try to recreate the issue and one out of 5 times I am able to do so. I have tried battery pulls and several factory resets/wiping everything. It even froze up and force closed on my one time when I was about to do the reset..
I was browsing on my bionic when I went to open a new webpage the browser stated I had reach my window limits so I went into menu, windows and when I click on the minus sign to close the windows it simply opened the page and won't close them.
I've noticed something strange on my Bionic. If I enable any of the screen lock mechanisms (password, pin, or pattern), the home and search keys stop working. I have to hit the back key multiple times if I'm within an app to get back to my homescreen so I can open the app drawer.
My voice search doesn't work when I am on wifi data. It keeps thinking over and over and comes back with no results. But when I switch to mobile data network it works fine and returns the results right away. I can not even use speech to text feature while on wifi it, it does the same thing as voice search on wifi. I am not able to find out what the problem is. The formatting was incorrectly checked causing all caps. Just changed the formatting to correct that.
I just updated my Razr HD to Jelly Bean and have been playing around more with Voice Search and Google Now.
I was wondering if there's any way to access search from the lock screen - the Jelly Bean FAQs mention that it's possible to access voice search by "swiping up on the lock screen", but that doesn't seem to work. Is it just not possible with the Razr HDs software, or am I missing something very obvious?
I have been reading articles about the new iphone and the ability to talk and surf at the same time. It seems that the new iPhone 5 will not be able to do this on Verizon and Sprint. This would really effect any one who may use hot spot sharing. Maybe I am just reading into this to much, or is this a possible move to keep iPhone off the VZW and S off there networks because it is a data hog? I just seems like a step back wards. I hope this doesn't move over to the android phones. It sounds like it may just be a limitation of the new iPhone's ability to work on several different networks, but don't you think a new device would have that covered? Just one more reason not to move over to Apple. I will keep my bionic as long as I can, and then purchase another android. After playing with some new phones the other day like the SIII, I think I will still be getting another Motorola when the time comes. The Motorola phone just flows better IMHO. [URL]
My old now deactivated phone (Droid X) rang in my bag. I answered it in confusion and it was the wife. My Bionic never rang. So I tried to make a call from the Bionic, for the first time, and I got the "we can not authorize your phone please hold" message.
