Phone acting weird, help please! - Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I have searched and found nothing exactly like this so here I am.
My phone was 100% charged prior to going to bed last night, I wake up this morning and the battery icon is red. I unlock the phone, and see that I have (no service.) A few seconds later I see a force close, SORRY! process com.android.phone has stopped unexpectedly, please try again...BLAH BLAH.
It just keeps force closing, and I close it, then it comes back, again and again.
While this is happening, I went to settings and noticed that airplane mode it repeatedly turning on and back off during this whole force closing problem.
I have had this happen before and forgot how I got it to stop. I have wiped everything and tried and still same thing. I know for a fact that last time this happened I DID NOT re flash the rom or anything. Nor do I want to now, im hoping someone knows the simple solution for this.
Thanks.
UPDATE, actually turning airplane mode on will stop the force closing loop, but once I turn it back off, it still has the force close

If you are running cyanogenmod it's a bug due to toggle 3g/2g. To solve your problem you need to flash cm7 again. Then the FC will stop

I am running cm7, and now that i think of it, yesterday I added the toggle 2g/3g button to the drop down notification bar... it didnt start to force cloe right after that though, it was like 8 hours later.... weird..

Sense Keeps Force Closing

Just today I was checking my email when Sense force closed on me. After that, it force closed on me every few minutes or so. I cleared data and it just force closed on me again. Not sure why all of a sudden this started happening. I havent installed any apps since yesterday. This morning it wasnt doing it, just all of a sudden started doing it. Anyone else experiencing this? My next step would be to do a master reset but really dont feel like setting my phone up again since we dont have root and cant do titanium backups
Have you tried uninstalling the last app or two that you installed? I also assume that you tried restarting the device too?

Mine does this too. I noticed that it happens more often when it's hot where your at. I work outside and get lot of force closes but at soon as I get home where its cool I don't get any Force closes. I guess heat isn't good on the sensation.
I get it a lot too. Even with the 2nd phone. The first one was just Force close GALORE. The 2nd phone Force close a lot to. I hate it also tried a factory reset fine for about 24 hours them back to the same thing. Sense also loads way to often,

GTalk Won't Open Anymore...

I have a weird problem with my GF's inspire where her GTalk won't open anymore. If you click on the app the screen just flashes and boom your back at the home screen screen.
We've cleared the cache and stuff so that's all greyed out now. You can force stop, but that doesn't seem to actually well fix anything. She also doesn't appear to have low amounts of space either.
She's currently running the stock Gingerbread 2.3.3 ROM, and she didn't have this problem till just this week.
Any ideas?

Is her phone rooted?
She hasn't rooted her phone yet no.
Sounds silly I know, but she has tried rebooting phone with "FastBoot" turned off? It can be found in the main settings under the "power" section.

Actually I saw this recommended when I was Googling for a fix, but I forgot to try it when I was hanging out with her last night. I'll try it tonight and post back with results thanks!
Okay turning that off seems to have fixed at least the GTalk issue with her phone anyways. Thanks XDA people!

[Q] Processes Crash

I have a Sidekick 4G with the Glorious Overdose v5 ROM. Yesterday night, I found that everytime I restarted the phone, all of the phone's processes would crash and I would never get past the Setup Wizard after I rebooted. Before it started to crash, I had just put some new music on it and after I disconnected it from my computer, my phone crashed and nothing would work after. Is there a solution to this? Or is it just the update with the ROM? I would love to get my phone back to working again because I love Glorious Overdose.

You might have to go to recovery stright from phone being off
(Pull battery, put battery in, hold power & volume down)
You can try to fix permissions
You can back up an then advance restore after you wipe an should fix a lot of issues

Thanks! But, unfortunately, the Setup Wizard seems to still force close. All of the other processes don't seem to force close on me. Which is odd.

I think with GO Setup Wizard always crashes. I remember running a rom where I was unable to run the setup wizard

Are you talking about GO Apps? Like GO Launcher and all? Cause that's the launcher I had before it went all glitchy.
Ricandroid and myself kinda left that project on the back burnner, I did pick it up again a few weeks back and fixed some errors but have been busy, yeah the rom has loads of potential but is super buggy, really its a base off gov2 with some tweaks and theaming that ricandroid made into a rom called advitamin, which if you can find this its (in my opinion) the best rom for the sidekick
Maybe ric can upload it or someone else, ill try to find some time near a pc as I still have a copy of it before everything else was changed. So if you can get it, flash this until gov5 is fully running or even better, windixixs 2.3 rom has a full keyboard
School starts next week for me but I hope to have some time to pick up my sidekick again as I'm mostly a good stoping (pausing) point for my other projects
Happy flashing!

No Sound / Freezing Issues

This morning my alarm did not sound. Checked all settings everything was set to on.
Tried to call the phone no sound. Re-booted and everything is now working as it should.
Also 3 times in the last two days the screen has frozen and I have had to reboot the power using the power button.
Has anyone else had these issues?
I am using this as stock with the latest OTA update.
Same issue here.
Everything is working fine, but ~1-2 Times a day the Screen stays black and won't turn on again until a reboot via the power button. But the touch is working, because after the reboot some of the apps on my homescreen are moved (because I moved them while whiping on the black screen). Everything else is fine, CM11S Stock latest, *33R.
Just changed the Gov from "Interactive" to "On Demand", no other Modifications.
Greets, Alex
I'm having problems in this area as well, my notification will not work. I do not get any notification sounds at all even though everything is on. My call ringtone work fine, nut no notifications, not from email, or my third part oultook email app, and neither from my SMS's. It was all finw in the beginning but now it just stopped working. I got the phone with 33r and stock, have not done anything to the phone yet, and don't want to, but i cant figure this issue out.......any help would be greatly appreciated......
Same problem here.

I have also same problem... Do you get any solution for this ?
Just realize with your post that I have not posted an update......I like a certified dildo, had my phone in 'night' mode from the advanced power menu.... Put back to normal.....issue resolved......I would prefer more notification choices out the box, but that's easily fixed.....

Perhaps related to Quiet Hours getting stuck?

Interesting. I've been having the same problem, and this prompted me to take a look at my Quiet Hours setting. On the Quick Settings panel I noticed that the Quiet Hours icon was lit. That was odd, because I was well outside of the quiet hours I had set. When I tapped the icon, it would not change. I had to long press, toggle a setting, and exit back out before the icon started working normally again. Now everything seems to be fine. Hope this helps someone; the problem was driving me nuts!
I too have had this issue! No lights, sound and action
But I solved my problem :=) on my own because I'm Mister Wonderful :>
I reinstalled the quiet hours tile.
Then I went into quiet hours setting and changed hours from 00:00 & 00:00 to 01:00 & 07:00. The latter being outside the current time of day I was working in.
Then I went back to the quiet hours tile and turned it off. Holy Smokes this time it actually worked.
Because the power charger was connected the notification lamp began to burn green again. SMS notification sounds were heard. Even "You got mail" wasn't afairid to stand up to be heard.
Another wonderul day in paradise!

Has anyone downloaded and installed the new wireless update? Not sure why they changed to the Google messenger. Especially since Allo is due out soon.
Sent from my PURE XL using Tapatalk
Installing now. Kind of a disappointing update, but at least we haven't been abandoned.
I didn't think Allo was going to do MMS/SMS, but I've seen conflicting reports.
It looks like the issues I had with background apps closing when clearing all apps has been fixed. I've got no apps running in the foreground yet can see Whatsapp, Fitbit, etc still running and I'm receiving notifications for them.

You're right, my Garmin Forerunner doesn't disconnect when I do that now. Good catch.

The issues with the background apps closing seems to have been fixed. Thank goodness. Now Tasker and pushover work when closed.
As for Allo, I haven't read anywhere that SMS and MMS are not supported. It does seem to suggest that end to end encryption is primary.

I downloaded it and now my phone won't start up properly. It goes into a loop where it says android is starting and it is optimizing apps and then restarts back to optimizing apps over and over. I contacted Blu customer service and they said to hard restart mt phone. It doesn't work and my phone still does the same thing.
Since the update, it change the sms native to Google messenger and worts off it there is a bug, no notification at all on every sms program.
Do you have a link for this update?

I just hard re-set the phone a couple of times in a row and let the phone do its thing, optimizing the apps for 3 hours straight. The phone started up by itself and worked after that. Hope this works for you.

Hold the power and up volume buttons for 10 seconds to re-set phone. A menu with options will come up, select using the volume up/down button. Select re-set phone option with the power button. I did it twice in a row.
turning wifi off
So when battery is around 20% the strangest thing happened, wifi just turns off when phone is locked, just when it´s locked. Anyone else having this issue?
Does anyone know where to get the v19? I had to perform a factory reset and it backed up to v16. When I do the update it now claims that my system is damaged.

I do, but it was never a problem before the update. It seems rebooting helps with this issue, and then it lasts for like 1 month and then happens again. And now battery lasts nothing! do you have this issue after the update?
