Hey everyone,
As you can see, I'm new here, and did my best to search (both here on the forum and elsewhere) and tried to put this in the right place. If I did something wrong, if you could politely let me know, I'll fix it.
As far as the problem goes, a couple of days ago, my phone just started having strange issues. All of a sudden it's been telling me all sorts of things are crashing, and force closing them. It's also been randomly telling me there's no sim card, and wont let me make phone calls. I'm also not receiving incoming text messages.
It's a Samsung Captivate, running Cyanogenmod 7, Mod Version: 7.0.0-RCO-Captivate-Kang
I'd try and grab screen shots, but Shoot Me can't get root privileges.
EX: "The application Email (processcom.android.email) has stopped unexpectedly. Please try again."
^I get a similar one for the messaging app, as well as facebook, but they flash too fast to read in their entirety.
Ex: Dolphin has Crashed
An unexpected error occured forcing the application to stop. Please help us fix this by sending your error data, all you have to do is hit report.
Here's what I tried to to:
I've tried restarting, pulling the battery, and a hard shut down and restart, but no dice. I figured I'd have to restore to the stock firmware, then tried to do this with the captivate toolbox, but no dice. I think it's because Cyanogenmod 7 makes everything think its a Nexus One. So what do I do? Should I try and update cyanogenmod? restore using Odin One Click?
This was my first flash, and it'd been working okay for a few months, but all of a sudden I got a ton of problems.
If you need more info, let me know.
Thanks Everyone.
Do a wipe data/factory reset in cwm. Do not restore anything and see if that helps.

You can always flash stock with Odin.

Using CWM worked, or it seemed to anyways. Thanks for the help guys.
Does anyone have any idea why it was doing that?
Sometimes our data with Applications and other programs may have a conflict with one rom to another.it just does.now I have found on cm7 that sometimes it can be just about anything.I just like to start fresh on any rom.

Please look around the forum before starting new threads. There are stickies in the Q&A subforum for ROM-specific questions, which is where this should have gone. Always search before posting a new thread.

I posted this over in the android general section. Hoping someone over here might see it since its on my Infuse.
I have a similar problem that many people have had with downloading apps from the market, however none of the solutions i have seen work. I purchased ADW Launcher Ex from the market the other day and it wouldnt authorize. I replaced all my billing info and then it authorized fine. I click on the purchased button and it authorizes, then says starting download, but after about 5 seconds it just stops and goes back to the bottom of the "my apps" list. I dont get a notification saying the download was unsuccessful, but when i try to download and install again, it says download unsuccessful and just goes through the same process all over again. Anything and everything else downloads and installs just fine.
I have tried wiping data and cache of the market and download manager.
I have restored my phone using CWM to a previous backup.
I have reinstalled my custom rom.
I tried an alternate rom.
I have reset my phone to factory.
I reinstalled the stock rom.
I tried logging out of and back into Talk.
I added another gmail account as well.
If ANYONE has any other ideas PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE let me know. Stupid google hasnt emailed me back yet, so i figured id probably get more help here anyway. Thanks in advance.
Your external SD card is causing issues with the mounted filesystem.
Try backing up everything that's on the card in your pc first, and then format the card. See if your purchases load then...

Just tried that and it didnt work. Downloaded GTG's ultimate unbrick to go back to complete stock. Still not downloading. I have no idea what else i could possibly do.
Try to set up a new account and see if you can down load things through that.
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I997 using XDA Premium App
Im able to download everything else just fine with the same account. Its only ADW for some reason.
And of course im still waiting for google to get back to me.
Dont know why. But it just decided to download all on its own. Thanks for all the suggestions.

It takes some time to authorize a purchase sometimes. I bought Launcher Pro, and it said "authorizing" and didn't download. I went to bed and when I woke up it had downloaded.

Exactly what the subject says. I tried clearing all data in the market app but that doesn't seem to be the problem. I'm running stock 2.2.2 with an OC kernel. Any help would be appreciated.

What are the symptoms that you are experiencing when you try to download an app
Sent From My Stock G2x
It says "Your item will be downloaded," after which the download bar appears. It disappears after a second as if the download had never even begun.
Sent from my LG-P999 using XDA App
Try deleting dalvik cache, fix permissions. Turn off the phone for few minutes, turn it back on.
Did this started to happen after flashing kernel?
Make sure you are in a good reception area as well.
Sent From My Stock G2x
I think it did happen after kernel flashing. Sounds like a good idea. I'll try that and if it doesn't work I'll try reflashing Google apparently. I've noticed authentication errors. Barring that it's back to stock. Thanks for the advice

Same thing happened to me.. I fixed permission from Rom manager then reboot.
Now its working fine.
Just tried that myself. It seems to be working again

This same exact thing happened to me after changing kernels. I went back to stock and it was still happening. Four hours later everything was fine again. Weird.
Not only do you need to clear market data.. But make sure you clear 'download manager' data too in applications
Sent from my LG-P999 using XDA App
The problem started up again and continued after flashing back to stock. Someone else said that in this thread. I'll try the download manager wipe suggestion too. Thanks for all the input. I'm on a wifi network with a strong signal so it's a stable connection... Aaaaaand... starting download... still starting download... still still starting... At least it's doing something. I'll check back in later. Thanks again!
If I wipe dalvik cache, cache, fix permissions, and reboot after letting the phone sit for 10 minutes I can download four or five apparently after which the problem returns. I've also noticed that Google talk can't seem to log in.

-EDITTTT-
Fixed by flashing ki1 modem. The kj1-6 modems werent letting me send more than 1 page of messages at once. (yea i text alot...) not a major problem, just for people who are text-crazy
Currently running.octane 2.x.
Not the roms fault. Had this problem for a while. No matter what i flash.
Problem: i cant send more than 1 page of messages. Or it gives me a error. No matter how many tries i resend, no luck. Tried messaging apps, factory reset, cache wiping, etc. Thanks.
p.s. I know that some people here like to be douches, so im saying this in advance. If the solution is posted somewhere,Instead of flaming and calling me a noob and telling me to look for it, can you please just post the link to the thread? Or you can just tell me how to fix it instead of saying "theres already a solution to this" as i dont have a computer and the xda app search doesnt work so i cant really look for it.
THANKS IN ADVANCE! .

I don't know the solution, but you can search the forums just like a PC using the stock browser or one from the market.

I had this problem when I flashed the modem to kj6, all I did was flashed the ki3, works great now. If still on ki3, clear dalvik cache, and and fix permissions. If still not working reflash, clear, fix. That should fix it.
I installed CM7 on my infuse yesterday and having an issue. I have read alot of forums but haven't found an answer. I am having connection issues while using the phone. I have flashed different modems still doesn't change anything. When I am using the market I get connection timed out. It switches between H, 3g, and E all the time. Is there anything else I can do to fix this?
Thanks in advance.
Read thru the cm7 thread in dev section is a good place to start ready to find your answer. Me personally have no data issues while on cm7
Sent from my SGH-I997 using XDA App
Look for the APN fix it is in many places.
My data dies when I first access the market. After I leave the market and it will come back and I have no trouble after that.
As for it switching between 4,H,3,E CM7 is giving you real connection info when other ROMS do not.

1) Do you require bluetooth? If yes, don't use CM7. 2) Can you read instructions? If so, there's an easy fix for the APN thing and you'll be all set. CM7 is fantastic, I've used it for a long time.
In the instructions he asks to boot into recovery and flash the rom. now when i reboot into 3e recovery theres no option to install from zip... all there is are these options: reinstall packages, delete user data, delete cache data, format internal sd card...
---------- Post added at 06:16 AM ---------- Previous post was at 06:12 AM ----------
ok... figured it out... had to select reinstall packages
I like cm7 on every phone I have had, my phone runs 100% better, remember step where u flash again and to download Google apps zip to get market to get all ur apps and I'd recommend getting titanium back pro. I like backing up all my apps. Faster to load ur stuff back on phone.

thanks for the tip... i was a bit confused where the market place had gone
apps are downloading now... i backed up me apps and data with titanium... now when i restore, my apps and data will get overwritten i assume....
guys, sorry for the wrong section..
When flashing my ACE,i I need to root it first??
sorry for my bad english!

Yes. You can root using SuperOneClick.
Yes it some apps don't always restore well via backup though. Like adobe I usually restore flash without data. Free version of titanium back will piss you off it stops on every app it restores.

start over as in reinstall gapps or reflash rom? and the steps for reflashing are the same as before or something different has to be done? and this time i should avoid restoring titanium backup??
I would wipe, reflash, I only restore user apps via titanium backup. Might download Google apps again. You only have to flash once if ur on cm7, just wipe flash cm7 and then flash Google apps. Then reboot.

ok...by wipe you mean format /system from recovery and reflash? also i have this weird thing where wifi icon no longer shows up if the phone is screenlocked for some time. when you unlock the wifi comes on. is the a CM thing or some setting i need to tweak for always ON wifi... thanks for all the help!
Also should I go to th 12/13dec build or the 20 nov build thats the latest on the links???
Wipe in where recovery and flash is. I would use newest build 12/13. I just haven't had time to update yet. Wifi, not sure where setting is since I don't use wifi with screen off but in past many phones would shut off wifi when screen goes off.

Definately go with the latest 12/13 and when you are in wifi setting hit menu button and advanced settings choose wifi never sleeps
Sorry if this is a repeat but I can't seem to find a similar problem. After staying on froyo for 2 years my phone started to slow down and give random application errors. I decided to try a new rom for the first time. I tried installing clockworkmod recovery and almost bricked my phone. A flash with gingerbread using odin got a working os on my infuse again. This came with red recovery already installed. For 2 weeks I used this rom and found that my dataconnection was super slow, random app errors and almost no wifi reception drove me to try something else. I flashed gingerbread bootloaders to get rid of the rainbow recovery(literally could not see a thing in recovery) and factory reset, cleared cache and flashed CWM 9 for infuse this post. This rom is running fast, data and wifi are great but there is a serious error. When I make a call, after selecting the number to call the screen goes black and unresponsive. No amount of button pushing will bring it back. Also you can see that the IR light on the front of the phone next to the phone turns on. The call is made and when the recipeint hangs up the phone will come back. If there is no cell signal this does not happen, the call screen normally appears and you can cancel the call. I have cleared cache, wiped data and dalvik cache, then reflashed this rom and the problem persists. I also downloaded a 3rd party dialer which displays the same symtoms. Is there a way to fix this? Is there a better rom to use? Any suggested workarounds would be nice. I would just like to get my phone back to a stable working os as I use it for android development. Some things specific to my situation: I live in Poland now. My phone is unlocked from ATT&T to work on european networks. This was working fine on froyo. I would post this on the developer thread but I don't have permission to do so yet. Thanks in advanced for any help/suggestions.
Go to delopment section and find cm10.1 by scott hart and odin back to stock with root/cmw follow instruction exactly the way the are coming from stock and should be good to go. And install GB bootloaders it will take care of not seeing recovery clearly and u can find how tos in stickies in delopment(I think) but do or research before u ask a lot of question and post bug. Its a good idea to read last 3-10 pages on a tom or going to install to know if there are any major issues or bugs.
This is just advise I have done what I telling and have not problems but i am not responsible if u brick ur phone

Thanks for the help!! How is JB running on your infuse? GB boot loader was installed before CWM 9. Recover is working fine now. As far as I can tell no one else is having this problem with the dialer like me.

Thanks for the help. I did try a different dialer which I downloaded from the market, but it had the same problems. I have already moved on to Jelly Bean and so far everything is working great. One problem that I still have is my Titanium Backup of my contacts wont work. This happened in ICS as well. Titanium says it works and suggests a reboot. After rebooting still no contacts. Unfortunately I didn't have these contacts synced with my Google account. Any ideas on how to extract the contact information from titanium and import it to the contacts app? I know the backup is good, I was able to use it when I updated to Ginger Bread.

I've got an idea, I think my problem is because I didn't make a fresh backup after I flashed ginger bread. I think the 'contacts' app must have changed database formats between froyo and ICS. If I were able to take that backup file and load it into an AVD, then restore my contacts and export them to my gmail account I think I could recover them on my phone without reflashing GB to do a fresh/compatible backup. Do you think it's possible or would most likely fail. I've never tried to bring files into an AVD but I do know that I have internet connectivity while debugging apps. It seems possible that I should be able to send files to the AVD as well.
