Quick advice please - Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi guys,
So I've just flashed NSCollab 1.0.35 and have a few troubles.
My first issue is that it's not finding my Orange service, therefore I cannot make calls, recieve, text etc.
The other is that com.android.phone, which is obviously the phone keeps stopping, recieving error messages every 20seconds.
Any ideas why please?
Re-flash?

I'd suggest re-flash, but make sure you do a data/factory reset, wipe cache and dalvik cache. If that dosent work, which it probly should. If not, flash another rom.

Any help will be greatly appreciated

Please bear with me i'm a noob.
I got my G2x with stock rom 2.2 Froyo and then rooted and flashed it without updating it to Gingerbread... I,ve tried CM7, Weapon, and now on Eaglesblood. None of them would let me use voice search without crashing..it will recognize what i say but as soon as i pick a selection from the list it force closes.. and some of the phone settings i try to access will also crash on me.
Is this because i've never updated my phone to GB before root/flash? Was i supposed to? I actually tried updating it with LG updater after root/flash (weapon at the time) and bricked it.. so im not going thru that again.
Thanks in advance!

Well for voice search... Have you tried uninstalling it and reinstalling it?
As for the rest of the phone, maybe a cache and dalvik cache wipe?
I'm not trying to patronize you, but you have stated that you are new to this, so I'm going to ask the following.
Between flashing new ROMs, did you:
Perform factory reset.
Wipe the dalvik cache.
Wipe cache.
Format /system.
This is not something you need to do everytime (Like when upgrading from one version of CM7 to the next), but is recommended (Especially going from the broad range of ROMs you went through).
If you haven't done the following, I recommend doing that first, then coming back should you still need to troubleshoot. MANY issues can be fixed simply by starting with a clean slate.
Yes, i have factory reset, wiped cache n dalvik, and formatted system between flashes. Im going to try reinstalling it now.

Voice search works on my 2.3.4 roms. They are not anything special, but lean, fast and stable.

So... I just tried reinstalling voice search to no avail. I uninstalled it first and then booted into recovery to wipe cache and dalvik. Now, what I noticed was that when I select wipe dalvik cache, it gives error log "E:unknown volum for path [/sd-ext]." but when I press Yes to confirm the wipe, it says "dalvik cache wiped." I'm not sure if it's really wiping dalvik or not... Well, I installed voice search again and it still force closed.

I will try out your rom!
People actually use voice search? I used to try but i always found it was faster to just type because it never knows what im saying.

The dalvik cache wipe is working, it will always say that unless you've wiped your SD card with CWM. Since there shouldn't be a need to, it's not a problem and shouldn't be a factor in your situation.

I would like to use it when I'm driving around.. and it's annoying to knowingly keep a feature of phone that won't work

[Q] XT720 restarts 10 time per day

My Milestone XT720 restarts many times. When i'm talking, when phone is in standby. It is restarting after i update it to FjFlacon's Cm7.2.
I love Cm7.2 and don't want to remove it. Please help to fix that reboots.
There is not enough information to figure out the issue.
You may need to at least provide some error/warning or logcat for some hints. Otherwise, we may not be able to address the issue, as not every people with that Rom face this issue.
Maybe is a bad flash... or try to do a factory reset... or just flash again your rom

I have seen the problem before when I didn't do wipe data/factory reset after applying the update. Just yesterday I flashed S'pore sbf, and applied CM7.2 as update, and did wipe everything (data, cache, dalvik), and all is well. So try all wipes possible from openrecovery.
Thanks, guys. Will try to wipe everything before i flash again my phone

Try to wipe cache, dalvik cache and factory reset your phone, it might be a dirty flash otherwise try installing another ROM

com.android.phone has stopped; how to deal with this?

Hi everybody,
2 day ago, I got an error message on my Opo: "com.android.phone has stopped" and ever since it has been popping up every minute or so, or sometimes every 10 seconds when I'm on my phone. The most annoying thing is that sometimes when I get that error message I also loose my network, so I can't make any phonecalls/use my 3G.
I was looking at the Crash Report and I saw this message:
"[crash] com.android.mms.service threw java.lang.NullPointerException"
I remember the first time this error happened was when I was writing a message and suddenly the interface was stuttering and everything was going very slow. Rebooted and then I started getting those errors
I followed some instructions found here, on Opo forums and on android central:
1) go to apps and clear the cache/data from phone, sim-toolkit, messaging and messaging service and reboot
2) perform a soft reset (via the phone)
3) perform a hard reset (factory reset via the recovery menu)
4) install custom recovery, enable root and reflash the rom
None of these solved the problem. But I also don't have the feeling that a hard reset
Moreover, after a reset, I still see folders from apps I had before the reset. Including pictures in my picture folder that I had downloaded prior to the factory reset. This doesn't seem like a factory reset to me, is there any way to wipe everything clean?
*edit*
This is the log of the error report that I get:
java.lang.NullPointerException: Attempt to invoke virtual method 'long com.android.internal.telephony.SmsMessageBase.getTimestampMillis()' on a null object reference

When I had the error my settings were:
ROM: Cyanogen 12.0-YNG1TAS0YL
Kernel: 3.4.67-cyanogenmod-g1cbb9b0 build04cyanogenmod #1
No custom recovery
I've trying to fix the error, installing custom recovery, enabling root mode and reflashing the official cyanongen 12 rom. Still the problem persisted.
ROM: Cyanogen 12.0-YNG1TAS0YL

You forgot to provide details (ROM, Kernel, recovery, mods, etc.)
java.lang.NullPointerException usually means that the code calls for some value and it is not available.

Sorry, I added details in the initial post under "edit2". In short, I started having the error with the Stock rom/recovery. Didn't fiddle with anything. Out of frustration I decided to install twrp, enable root and reflash the rom. Didn't work, problem happened again as soon as I booted up my phone. I feel it has to do something with the sim-toolkit? As soon as it access the network it starting to nuke the error, then loses network, then regains network, especially when I'm trying to write a message. In airplane mode it doesn't happen.

It can be that or modem issue or something got corrupted on the /data partition.

Any way I can fix this from within twrp? How do I figure out what is exactly corrupted?

Trial and error. The easiest way is to wipe your device clean (system, cache, dalvik and data - storage not needed) and flash the ROM again. Also try to flash the latest available.

Didn't work. Still get nuked by the error. I decided to flash OxygenOS (after system, cache, dalvik and data wipe). Now I don't have the error anymore, luckily.
But I still have problems with texting. I can receive texts from friends, but not from my girlfriend who has an iPhone. She can receive my texts and my MMS, but I don't receive anything from her. The problem is partly solved, but not completely. I feel it's still somewhat related to the original problem.
