My girlfriend got her Galaxy S 4G around January and everything was going really great for her. The problems seemed to arise when I updated her phone from Froyo to Gingerbread through Kies. Since then, she constantly sees random force closes, typically while using Navigation, Browser, Contacts, SMS, etc. There is no popup saying "Bla bla has randomly closed...." etc, it just shuts back down to the main screen. Sometimes this will repeat numerous times (trying repeatedly to go to the contacts). I rooted her phone and flashed ICBINB, wiped cache, dalvik, permissions, etc. etc. but the problems have not changed in the least. Has anyone seen or experienced anything like this? It seems like no matter what I do, the phone is just doomed. Only thing I haven't tried (and am seriously considering) is reflashing back to stock Froyo; I don't think she'll mind, as long as she can use her phone peacefully. Thank you for any and all help.
I would try this rom here.

Its using the most recent build of a stable kernel.
Or install sgs kernel flasher and flash the latest kernel from this thread.

Thanks! I think I will try that. At first I was kinda waiting for things to iron themselves out but now I'm kinda in desperation mode...plus after telling her how great droids were and convincing her not to get another blackberry, it kinda sucks to have her experience be so poor lol.

Hey installed FBs Valhalla mod..all is well so far! Only thing is when she tries to unlock into messaging the phone kinda stutters, media scanner restarts and it says something like "ROM author is so lame he broke voodoo sound app"? Familiar to anyone? Other than that so far so good knock on wood.

For the voodoo sound bit go to settings, then applications, manage applications, find the voodoo app and click it clear data and then uninstall the voodoo sound app. Reboot the phone and reinstall from the play store.

You have to go in settings under tweaks and set the custom app to messenger. It will stop soft booting then.

Just an update: new from is great and she loves it. Still experiencing force closes, however. Seems the biggest culprit is opening the phone app and clicking on either the contacts or call log tabs. Those love to shut down (with no message) all the time.
Sent from my SCH-I500 using XDA
It's actually not force closing...i had that problem before and it would happen randomly. It got to the point where i was trying to quickly select a contact or start a message before it would return to the home screen. I never found out what was causing it though. Try a new kernel. I think it happened less or went away. I haven't had the problem in awhile and i think that was the only difference. I'm on erikmm's miui now and haven't had that problem.

Or try something like GoContacts EX from the market. It is a dialer and contacts. Theme it. Customize it. I find it a lot better than stock.
Maybe reboot to recovery and fix permissions. Only use a third party app once you get the stock working. That's like putting a bandaide on a cut that needs sutures.

If you don't use stock stock dialer or contacts - it is not a bandaide. It's a replacement.

He stated the forces closes is when opening dialer and contacts. He has been pretty good at giving info on what he is using. So it's safe to assume it's the stock dialer/contacts app.
I don't disagree that using a third party app can/is nice. But if there is a problem with the stock it needs fixed first. Eventually it will create bigger issues if not fixed. Plus the Rom he is on there shouldn't be any problems.

I appreciate all of your help and suggestions regarding the matter so far. As it stands I haven't had a spare second to flash a new kernel on her phone, but she hasn't seemed to have any problems (knock on wood) since that day; I'm sure it's only a matter of time before it comes back to haunt her, though. I'll try fixing permission for the heck of it, but I did that when she was running ICBINB to no avail.
I'll post an update as soon as I flash a different kernel, but despite all the drama she loves it more than ever!
I have a HTC Inspire 4g, AT&T, 16gb microSD Sandisk card, no root, no roms.
It boots slow, but i've looked around and that seems to be normal.
Sometimes itll just freeze, anywhere from 3-15 seconds
Sometimes the screen and sound keep going, but the touch cuts off completely. half the time the buttons at the bottom work, the other half they dont, and i have to click the button at the top to turn the screen off and back on to fix it.
Sometimes when the screen is off, i click the top button, and the orange light goes on, and it clicks, but the screen stays black.
Sometimes it just freezes and i have to reset. Some of those times i have to take the battery out to reset it.
Sometimes it lags, hard, like the keyboard freezes, and i go ahead and finish typing, up to a whole sentence, and after 5-15 seconds all the text i type pops up on the screen, but i get no haptic feedback like i do when its not lagging.
Things load slow, the gps takes forever to connect, if at all, and it won't pick up wifi even when i'm well within range, and my mom's first gen ipod touch picks it up in the same spot at the same time with no problem.
Everything is up to date.
Anyone got any ideas? I thought about rooting it and putting a rom on, but idk if itll make a difference.
Its not covered under warranty anymore.
Pretty frustrating in general.

Best bet is to not root and have it checked via warranty. If you root you void warranty and if custom rom dont fix issue your stuck with it. Tho you can unroot with ace hack kit.

And it looks to have fixed it. Thanks to everyone that helped. If anyone has a rom recommendation, let me know
For best performance try cyanogenmod 7. Truely I can vouch for the Android Revolution HD Rom. It's a sense 3.0 Rom, and it has android 2.3.5 gingerbread(very smooth). I can say that right now, there are no fully working android 4.0 ICS or 4.1 Jellybean Roms(Release candidate).
Sent from my Inspire 4G using xda app-developers app
Depends on if you wanna keep sense or not. Cyanogenmod 7 and Revolution HD are good choices. Best thing you can do is flash around and find what suites you. If your wanting to check out some of the latest android versions like ICS I'd say give exits aospx a try, and keep your eye on the latest jellybean ROM called Jelly Time in the Desire HD thread...its exploded practically over night and is looking to be a daily driver in no time the way the devs are working over there.

For future restores
For me, my contacts and calendar are saved via my gmail account. Upon restoring to factory settings, or installing a new custom rom, and setting my account up in the phone, all of this data is automatically restored. For apps and their settings, Titanium Backup has been the lifeline for me. It has saved a lot of time and effort. Check it out and see if you like it. There is a free and paid version (which I paid for the extra options and to support further updates) on the Market.
Custom ROMS are individually unique for user experience. No one can really tell you which one is best (well...we could but it would be our own personal bias based on our individual preferences). You need to keep trying them until you get one you like. As always mentioned, nandroid backups can be your best friend.

Rom Suggestion: Runny Droid 5.0
working great for me since the past 3 months..i had same issues as u had..but everything resolved by this rom...
This phone is not my daily driver, and I'll do as much as I can, but I also have a day job
I would appreciate all discussion stay to this thread, and I'd love it if there were some community self-help.
State of the Union (for the Blaze 4G) (2012-11-05)
Current state of the ROM. This likely applies to any of the ROMs using the kernel sources coming from CyanogenMod for this device.
The device mostly works as it should. There are some problems currently people are having with this phone, and I will detail those here:
1) First and foremost, the Screen of Death. This is a problem that isn't only occuring to us. Just a couple of days ago I asked what the status was and the answer is that they have no idea. Some think it's specific to our platform (msm8660, which we share with a number of other phones), except that I've experienced it on other platforms, like my S3. Some think it's related to the display, except that not all the devices on this platform use the same display. Because of the randomness and lack of verbosity in the bug, they don't have a way of getting any useful data on it. dmesg and logcats are pointless. They are working hard trying to find it, but keep in mind that it isn't just us.
2) Saving pictures somewhere other than local storage. Yes, you should be able to save to your SD card. I think this is coming sooner rather than later. The following patch popped up over the weekend and adds in the functionality: http://review.cyanogenmod.com/25848. The Q&A responses to it look good. I suspect it'll go through a revision or two once they work out the bugs and then it'll get incorporated.
3) Saving app data somewhere other than the local storage. While I'm looking into it and talking to officials, I'm fairly confident that this behavior won't change in the official CM builds. Some of the other CM derived roms may allow this, and you should probably look there to solve this problem. The sad thing fact that our devices shipped with 1.2 GB of internal storage. I don't know why Samsung hates us so much, but they do. And therefore, the default behavior for CM is bad for those of us that want to game. Some users have reported success using an app called Directory Bind. I haven't used it and can't vouch for it, however it looks like it'd let you point specific directories from your internal storage to a space on your external storage. This is definitely safer than the mount swapping ideas that have been going around.
4) BLN isn't 100% unbuggy. Yes, BLN is buggy. BLN is the Button Lights Notifications. As of 11/10 we are on the official CM cypress-touchkey driver. However it seems there's still a bug there. Occasionally if you unlock during a notification, the lights won't come on. Sorry, that's just the way it is.
5) Camera Flash won't disable. This is unfortunate. Apparently if you tell the camera to disable flash, it simply won't do it. It's towards the bottom of my list, but it is definitely there.
The most important thing to keep in mind is that CyanogenMod version 10 is a moving target. Lots of stuff is happening, and until it's labeled as "stable" (and probably even for some time after that), we will continue to experience bugs.
Thank you

Make sure to check the MD5 sum of your download(s). Make sure you wipe dalvik, and do a factory/data reset from CWM. It might also help to format /system.

How has the data seemed? The "regular" stuff seemed to work great for me, but since I don't use this phone on a regular basis I don't know how to judge the 3/4g performance.
Also, I'd love to hear about maps performance (GPS, compass, etc).
I know I'm opening a can of worms by asking about this stuff (everyone will be hyperaware of things that never bothered them before), but it's useful to know as feedback.
Data seems normal to me. GPS and compass seem to be working fine for me also.

Surprisingly this is actually more stable than CM9 lol. The camera is smoother and has more options and the Google account synching is easier. The transitions are fast and cool too.
While I'm not a fan of the navigation bar due to the smaller screen, I do love the easy access to the multitasking. It makes switching apps easier. Is this something that you could possibly port without the navigation bar when you fix the buttons? Like give an option in the settings to replace the search button for the multitasking action? I can access the searching from the top widget. Just throwing ideas out lol.
Also the UI sounds are not working, along with the keyboard sounds. I also get this message once in a while about the "CM updater stopped working" it's not a big deal. I haven't used the data much, so I'll report in a little while. Worked fine during the little moment I used it.
Update:
UI sounds are working. Never mind. Let's see if it's consistent or not lol.

Glad to hear it's working out stable for you!
I'm not a Java/Android developer per se... I'm a bit of a self-taught hacker and the majority of my work for this was really about the kernel and forward porting the changes from 3.0.8 samsung sources to the 3.0.43 that CM uses. Adding things to the settings seems a bit daunting to me, but I'll look into it. Always wanted a reason to actually start developing for android
I can tell you that on my SGS3 (and I imagine on other phones as well), the home button, when as a long press, brings up the multitasking menu. This would probably be the immediate answer to your situation for this phone.
I could also possibly just offer up a flashable zip to remap the key and that would be much easier for me.
My long term goal really is to get this into github (and into the CM nightly cycle) and get my kernel changes into the cm kernel for msm8660 so I don't have to maintain the patches myself.

I have a Verizon S3 and it has choppy animations when switching between apps using the recent apps menu. I've tried turning both animation and transition options to off in the dev menu and it will still sometimes flicker when swapping apps.
Also, the multitasking recent apps menu itself has always been choppy, which is really frustrating. I know touchwiz isn't the best, but I never thought the phone would be this choppy. The phone itself isn't really slow, it's just the fade in / fade out animation / draw time of the recent apps menu is TERRIBLE.
Things I've done to test:
Power saving is always off. I tried turning it on and unchecking the cpu throttling, but no dice.
Tested with brightness set to auto and not auto, but no dice.
Quadrant score was in the low 5000s, which I believe is good.
Has anyone else experienced this? Is this normal, or a sign of a defective phone? Thanks!
For the app switcher, mine hasn't been slow very often unless I'm dealing with Chrome. I have my "Window Animations Scale" set to: .5x so maybe that helps for the app switcher. I have all my transitions set to .5x actually.
I why I personally haven't noticed is cuz I dislike the implementation of the app switcher. I don't use it often unless switching from texting to Web browsing. I've used my mom's Nexus a few times and it's a smarter UI decision there. Holding the home button to activate the app switcher just feels like a step down to GB.

Thanks for the info. I seem to use my mine pretty often. I'm mainly trying to figure out if this is a known bug with touchwhiz (or if this is just how touchwhiz is), or if it's something wrong with the hardware and I need to return it for another phone.
I've also had some odd lag with the notification menu opening and closing, which only began happening in the past week or so.
What do you guys think?
Do you have the "force gpu rendering" box checked? If so uncheck it. I always get choppy when I have that checked.

Are you on any ROM or you running stock? Clearing out your cache could also help with any lag issues

I never noticed any lag or shutter when switching apps. Maybe try something like v6 supercharger and see if that fixes it.

I've booted into recovery mode and cleared the system cache but it didn't seem to help. I'm on stock, unrooted.

Yes, but it feels like it has gotten worse as of late.

Well I would suggest backup all your apps and Data with Google since you can't do TiBU because you're not rooted right? Then give it a reset and see how that fares for you. worth a shot

While I've tried a factory reset in the past, I didn't know about the recovery menu for non root before. I backed everything up, booted into that, cleared the system cache and then rebooted (triggering the factory reset). I skipped everything during setup and then restored only my Google account, and now everything is silky smooth. The recent apps menu is consistently smooth as well.
Thanks everyone! Hopefully it stays this way.

Glad to hear everything is up and running smoothly. Factory resets may be the last thing anyone wants to do but usually worth it. :thumbup:

After playing with it for few days, it's still very smooth when you bring up the recent apps menu and click through to an open app. It's kind of sluggish when opening the menu when you're already in an app. Anyone else seeing that?

It was like that when I was on TW. It runs at like 6 fps and it's extremely disappointing that a badass phone like this would lag there. I read that the recents menu isn't HW accelerated on TW ICS? It's completely smooth on cm10.
Since there isn't an official thread for Q&A for CM 10.2 I figured there should be one, so I'm making one. Here we can list out bugs, issues, ask questions, etc. without cluttering or thread hijacking with other Android 4.3 projects (like what was happening to the CM10.1 and beanstalk threads).
I am testing the first official nightly and have discovered the following bugs/issues:
1. After setting up my phone and installing all my apps/etc, it will only boot about half the time. (major bug) I am having to hold power and vol - and pray it will boot THIS time lol I don't have anything exotic on my phone just apps downloaded from the play store. This may have something to do with the CM10.2 theme I am using. **Is more stable using 9-27 nightly and 6.0.3.8 CWM**
2. Screen will often not wake when power button is pressed when the phone is already on. (known issue)
3. Speakerphone mutes mic, you can hear them but they can't hear you (known issue)
4. For me the initial CM setup froze and hot booted (minor issue) ***Should be fixed as of 9-27 nightly, need to confirm still***
5. Compass, etc isn't working properly (known issue).
6. Dark theme for mms.apk (I don't think this has ever worked right...)
7. Selecting 'details' on an image in gallery crashes gallery. **Fixed as of 9-27 nightly**
8. Intermittent issues with the camera. Sometimes it will not start up.
What works:
Camera/Video (and you can finally select the sd card to store these files using the default camera) **having intermittent issues with the camera using the latest nightly**
Data/Phone (using any ICS blaze radio or the UVMC6 sgs2 radio)
Pretty much everything else works flawlessly...
If anyone else has anything to report, or as these issues are resolved, I will edit this post to keep anyone wondering what works/doesn't work with the official 10.2 nightlies where we are.
Also feel free to ask/answer questions related to CM 10.2 here

The initial setup screen froze after I pressed next and hot booted, but worked flawlessly after that.
I changed my theme and rebooted and it would not boot past the Samsung screen. Power and vol- and it rebooted and actually booted. Seems like anything from the system folder being changed will cause some serious issues from what I'm seeing... Even if its just changing the theme. IDK if that's just something with 4.3 but I could modify a ton in the system folder in cm10 and it would boot just fine.

They work, but it may take a few tries to get it to boot (it did for me anyway) if you shut the phone off or reboot for whatever reason.

Which recovery and which gapps are you using? I'm using the 2013-08-13 gapps from here.
Did you wipe everything (data, system, cache, davlik) before flashing from whatever rom you are coming from?
Other thing you can try is wipe data from the play store and remove your google account and try again.
Let me know how it goes!
I needed to update my gapps, thank you for the help. All is working great

Great job by everyone who made this happen . only thing I would like to see is bln if possible. I know we had them on cm10. KT and others mentioned there was issue with wake locks and bln was disabled. Other than that everything else is smooth and functional

Is there a way to access the developer options without using an app? Don't see it in the settings. Latest nightly working great so far!

I believe this started with 4.2.2 but you have to go to settings>about phone and then tap the build number 7 times. After three or four times a message will appear telling how many more times you need to press it. Then developer settings will be unlocked.

That is correct. I forgot about it until I flashed it on the blaze. Had to double check my wife's s2

Cool. Thanks.
I noticed my light sensor acts a little reversed.
In well lit areas or outside during the day, I can barely see my screen because the brightness is too low.
At night time, the screen is the brightest it can be.
I've disabled auto and enabled it back but no change.
I haven't done a clean wipe when I noticed it but then I decided to do a clean wipe and it still happens.
Anyone else notice this?

So far the only issue I've seen is the camera wigs out. So do other camera apps I install from the market. When I'm in the camera app the screen freaks out almost kinda like how the tv would flip out back in the day when you were flipping the slide switch from the RF adapter to put your tv in game or antenna mode when playing an atari or something.
It also says, "you must insert an SD card" but I have one in, and it works. So I dunno.

I haven't had the SD card message but I have had intermittent issues with the camera not starting up. I'm going to add it to the issues list on the 1st post and get a log in the dev section later tonight.
It seems that once the camera won't start up you have to force close the gallery or use the lock screen functionality to start the camera to get it to come back up again.

Well, I think my SD card issue is actually related...to my SD card.
It works, but man the write speed on the thing is SLOOOOOOOW. Even if I take it out and put it directly into my computer, it takes forever to write to it now. No idea why, but I guess I'm having bad luck with these things. I always bought cheap SD cards before, but ever since I bought this 64gig card (back when they were like $150) I've had nothing but trouble...Sandisk has replaced it twice now!

It's similar to CM10 to me. Stock ICS has always been the best for battery life though.
