Hey guys,

So I'm not sure if it was after a recent update, but in the last couple of days my HTC 10 has erratically started popping with dialogue on-screen that states the following error message:

"Error: java.lang.SecurityException:
PermissionDenial: writing
com.htc.launcher.LauncherProvider uri
content://com.htc.launcher.settings/favorites?notify=true from pid=28864
uid=10156 requires com.htc.launch
er.permission.WRITE_SETTINGS, or
grantUriPermission()"

This appears for a brief second or two when I switch between applications or when I return to the home screen. It appears that something is attempting to perform a write function or setting adjustment for an HTC Launcher application? However, I don't do any coding, breaking, etc with my phone. Everything online points to this as being a developer code error. Any thoughts how to get rid of this or why it's happening in the first place? :-X

Thanks!
 
I'm getting the same message. It started yesterday. Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks bunches!!!
 
Bump!

I'm having this same etror, every message i send results in this error.

Please advise.
 
Me too! This pops up every time I send or receive a message on Textra but stops when switching to "Messages" app. Would this mean the problem is on Textra's end?
 
Same issue here. It seems to have started when my phone updated Textra. It's definitely all Textra on my end. Any news as to a fix?

Cheers

Not sure... I sent a message to Textra. Sure hope they fix it; I love their app!
 
Same problem sending and receiving messages on AT&T M8. I switched to Android messages to avoid the error, set it as my default app then went back to Textra. Now I am no longer getting this error, but I've only sent a few messages since. We'll see if it's fixed, maybe this will work for someone else.
 
Just heard back from Textra:

"Known issue. Pls disable Badge App Icon in Textra settings which will fix it while the dev team is working on it."
 
Disabled badge icon. Still receiving message. 😔
Anyone else still having problem?
 
I to started getting this error a few days ago..I seen textra mentioned in a comment below because I use textra too. Just uninstalled all apps downloaded in the last few days but it's still happening. It's annoying as hell.
 
Haha, wow ok it wasn't just me. I confirmed it was Textra too within the last couple of days. Hope they fix this soon.
 
Textra update this morning seems to have fixed it. I turned back on the Badge App Icon setting and did not get error.
