hey,
So I have a Bell Samsung Galaxy S Vibrant, it is rooted, runs 2.2 & Speedmod kernel.
It has been running fine on the speedmod kernel for several days now, until today. Out of no where, when I was using the phone Launcher Pro started CONSTANTLY force closing, basically leaving my phone in a useless force closing cycle.
AND, on top of that there are other apps that are force closing about every 10 seconds or so. they are: Market, Clock, and Samsung Apps.
Any idea whats happening here?
Thanks a lot!

did you install any recent apps that cause problems? it might be one of them.
You may need to ODIN back to stock.. well thats how we go back to stock on Galaxy S VIBRANT.
should be the same.
I haven't installed any apps that have caused problems that I know of...
I was just listening to music for an hour or so in the car, then when I unlocked my phone I was met with countless force close messages.
Yes, I was thinking that might be the route I have to go, but I was hoping there would be some way to uninstall those problem causing applications (namely Launcher Pro) somehow. I don't know how I would go about uninstalling it though, as my phone is basically rendered useless due to the constant force closing.
But thanks a lot for the input!

i don't think theres a difference between our phones, mines Tmobile Vibrant, but theres a built-in feature in stock, and most custom roms called SAFE MODE.
most people don't know about this.
This mode helps you do exactly what your facing, uninstall apps that act up.
In Safe Mode, it disables any startups and all that shiz.
Try going in like this.
shut down phone.
press power and wait till it get on vibrant screen, then start holding the MENU KEY the whole way until it starts.
the way to know if thsi worked is.. on the bottom left hand corner, it'll say SAFE MODE with a box aroundi t.
if this doesn't work, ODIN is the best way.
If you haven't turned it off recently, try a reboot. Yeah, standard boring advice, but I had constant-force-close issues a few months ago and a reboot fixed it.
So I somehow managed to get into the task manager by long pressing the home button, then from their I was able to uninstall Launcher Pro. So the CONSTANT force closing has stopped.
BUT, I still have plenty of other apps that are force closing very consistently. For example, everytime I go into the messaging application it force closes, so I can't send or receive texts. Along with that, Facebook, 'Clock', Samsung Apps, & Market are force closing.
When I go into the market it says **Connection Error (or something like that) and then sometimes force closes....so this problem renders the market useless as well.
Oh, and when I go into safe mode, I still get the constant force closing... but thanks for that info! I had no idea you could even go into safe mode with this phone.
Honestly, at the point flashing stock firmware back into ODIN is looking like my best option, but I reallllllly don't want to lose all of my installed apps, and text messages, and whatnot.
Anybody have any other ideas?
btw, thanks a lot for the input so far!
So I did a backup of all my data using the speedmod recovery menu (volume up, home, power)
If I reflash the PDA in ODIN, will I still have the speedmod kernel, thus allowing me to recover my backup of installed apps, texts, etc.?
Or will re-flashing wipe the backup and get rid of the speedmod kernel..?

Idk what the speed mod thing is.. But yes. It will be erased.
If u want to save backups of apps..
Get titanium back up doesn't matter if u get pro or free.
Just restart on everything dude.. Like a clean fresh install.
Its something that u installed or flashed that's causing these problems.
Sounds like your phone's internal SD is dying. Our Bell Vibrant has a nasty habit of the internal SDs dying, and I've heard that force closing all the time is one of the signs that the SD is going. There's a thread in development about this. I suggest you start backing everything up
Alright, I started from scratch and now everything is working great! thanks for your help guys!
plus, now I'm even running Darky's v7.5 Gingerbread Edition, this ROM is soooo epic. haha

I was trying to get Google Earth on my vegan 5.1 Gtab and accidentally flashed a google apps file instead.
Now my maps and market don't work.
I click on them and it tries to open, but instantly goes back to the home screen.
No force close error message, just an instant closing.
How can I undo my mistake and get the Google apps working.
The file I flashed was
"gaps-gb-20110115-signed.zip" I think I got this from CM7 mod before I switched to Vegan7
Hopefully this is an easy fix so I don't have to wipe it and start from scratch.
I have Galaxy S with Android 2.3.4 JVR and it works like a charm - with this one exception: sometimes (too often) phone, contacts and messages (sms) keep closing. This happens usually within a second or two after opening up them. There's no force close message, it just returns to the home screen without any warning. If I reopen it, it usually does the same a couple of times, but eventually I get it to open.
At first I thought this must be a memory issue. However, I have Autokiller installed (my phone is rooted) and I have usually >100M free memory. Then I thought it must be Autokiller killing the dialer, contacts or messages apps. BUT: this happened also before I had Autokiller installed, so it can't be that either. The strangest thing is that I tried installing GO SMS Pro and GO Contacts + Dialer, and even they do the same thing occasionally (close immediately after I open them), so it isn't a problem with apps either.
I am bedazzled here, could somebody please help me? This starts to get really annoying, since the dialer, contacts and messages are the feature you normally use most in your phone!
I have the exact same problem! Somebody, please help
the phone app and etc. seem to be corrupt or something
try reflashing.If you keep getting the problem then revert back to your previous rom =/
Is there any way to try to replace only the phone etc. apps without flashing the whole rom?
from my experience no but you can try replacing phone.apk sms.apk etc with the previous rom's apps
The funny thing is that I have a stock 2.3.4 JVR, so it should be stable.
Plus, did I mention that this happens only sometimes? Sometimes they work ok. But this happens often enough to be annoying. You know, when you would have to make a quick phone call you have to open the phone app like 3-4 times, only then you're able to make it. I wondered if the the problem could still be in the dialer, contacts and messaging apps even if the problem occurred only sometimes?
In addition, the calendar app has done this a couple of times. Could it be that there's a conflicting app that's causing this? If so, do you have any suggestion what it would be?
Autokiller made my phone do some really funny stuff. After installing it i was having random reboots and apps crashing so i uninstalled and problem solved. You said it was happening before you installed it though so im just guessing that you need to either wipe cache and dalvik then reboot or do a full wipe and reinstall of your rom. When you do the full wipe go into mounts and storage and wipe system too
Hi and thanks for your comment. What are the effects of wiping the cache and the dalvik cache? Do I lose important data? Or can I do it safely? Sorry, I'm a bit of a n00b with android. I suppose you wipe the cache in download mode, right?
I experience exactly the same issue as you-though I am on stock jvu.I come from 2.3.3, stock as well, using chainfire root both times.
Sometimes phone contacts and message s close immediately after opening them, often several times. and sometimes everythings fine
here you can find some information about dalvik and normal cache wipe..your data will be safe-only first boot will take longer.I will try wiping now, too-reporting back then.
Edit:
For now wiping seems to have worked well and fixed the problem here..I need some more testing though-will keep you up to date here
edit 2: damn! The issue's still there.anyone got more ideas?
G'day!
I have the exact same problem with JVU and I had this problem with 2.3.3 but less frequent. I have no choice but to reboot the phone when it happen. I suspect it's caused by one of the widget (email and Go weather) that I put on the desktop. Going to remove the two widgets from desktop and see if it's help.

Okay, that sounds interesting - though I am not sure wheter a widget could cause this...
I am still running JVU but now with Galaxian Kernel instead of Chainfires root Kernel - flashed with SGS Kernel Flasher and still got root - and it runs very stable and fast 'till now. No more closing of phone, contacts and messages so far -.- since 2 days.
I'll tell you when it happens again, but so far it seemed to be a kernel issue for me...
I've been having the same issues with my Samsung SideKick 4G. messages would keep closing as I was typing them, I would lag and the key I pressed would "press again" like 15 more times, sometimes I just couldn't open a conversation, other times I couldnt answer phone calls cause the UI lagged.
That was all on stock firmware, and I got fed up with it so I tried to flash a custom ROM on it, and before I did that I had it OC'd to 1.2GHz which was actually pretty great. Needless to say, I screwed up on flashing the ROM and now I'm looking for firmware to odin back to stock. =\
exhibit II with Peach Sunrise 2.04 ROM
I have been rolling peach for about two weeks. Upon reboot I get “the application google services framework (process com.google.process.gapps)has stopped unexpectedly… then all other apps google related force close. Dolphin and opera browsers force close as well. How can I fix this?
Try clearing Google Play Store app data as well as Google Framework Services in: settings>applications>manage applications>(find both and select "clear data"), see if that helps things...

it happened to me the gapps was FC every sec... i solved the problem installing the gapps again with CWM... remember to chose the right gapps file.... it happens to me while i was trying to change DPI screen size with LCD Density on JB, the market fix crashed gapps and they were FC every sec as i said... maybe installing new gapps over CWM can help you : D

Yeah, I'd say try a new Gapps package file and flash in CWM, also might not hurt to select the "fix permissions" option under advanced in CWM as well...

Exhibit + Peach Sunrise + Go Launcher = eventually many apps Force Close => Repeat ag
I've searched the forums and can't find a solution that fits my problem.
I bought a Galaxy Exhibit II with Monthly4G - love the form factor, accessible battery, expendibility (compared to big $$$ phones).
TMO default load was very unsatisfactory.
I flashed it to Peach Sunrise 2.04, ran V6 supercharger and the phone became what it should be - a good performer.
I also loaded go launcher.
I thought it was stable and just installed apps, updates, etc as I wished (you know like I did on the iPod for 6 months before committing to the android platform.)
For the second time the phone just melted down - starts getting all kinds of random Force Closes - reboots don't help.
I also tried clearing all cache and davlik, uninstalling google play updates.
However, the problem is also affecting some core services and almost any app I start on demand - including backup apps!
I had recently installed some updates and three wifi teathering apps (to make teathering easier). On one of the reboots go launcher went through it's setup several times (I know there was an update recently).
I am really enjoying the android platform and this inexpensive phone - but I really don't want to be reflashing it every 4 weeks.
Here are my questions:
Q1) Does anyone recognize my combination of software or a specific software as causing general instability (Peach Sunrise + Go launcher OR Wifi Tether utils that require root)
Q2) Is there a way to trace what causes the instability? (In my day job I use detailed tracing utilities on Windows to find problems with Apps / OS). I found catlog - but didn't have it installed and can't get it installed now.
Q3) Could I be getting hit from a virus or hacking? (I am running "Lookout" antivirus)
Q4) Does anyone else have this challenge of persistent reflashes required?
I'm not expecting to be hand held here - but when I search "Force close" with any combination I get a lot of information that ends with the solution of reflashing. If that is the only solution I can't be reflashing every month.
Thanks for any help.
I have this problem. So far, I can only find a temporary fix. Flashing anything or clearing cache or dalvik cache in Recovery mode temporarily fixes this problem.
I only get this problem when I'm using Instagram though. I don't know why.
I have this problem on my samsung exibihit 2 4g after flashing it back to stock because of the problem with sending texts while on data. And now none of my apps are working. i had to switch phones because i cant ecen text on it now. If anyone has a fix gor it please message me your suggestions. Thank you
This seems to be Talk crashing. I get the same FC message. I have to login manually to get Talk online again. Anyone else notice that
Hello everyone,
I installed the CM 7.2 based ROM from this thread [ROM][GB\ICS\JB][2012.09.04]Slim-CM7,CM9,CM10,AOKP.
It works fine but in about 2 months I experienced a weird behaviour.
When using the phone (it always happened using FB application but it could be just a coincidence) a message comes up and the all the running applications close.
From that point on, even after a reboot, every application I try to launch... closes immediately.
The only (that I know) way to exit this situation is to restore to default settings and so I have to reinstall everything.
Any suggestion?
Thanks

Nobody is working or developing on CM7 sources anymore. Switch to CM9 or CM10 or Slim Bean 3.1.
I recommend CM9 if you don't want random Force Closes, 'cuz it's yet the most stable ROM for our device.
CM9 installed!
Thanks for the tip and have a nice day.
