So the excitement of the nexus s is still flowing through my veins. I have now switched 2 radios and 3 roms.
I recently went from SuperOSR to Zulugen. Yesterday I had a MAJOR crash. My google voice froze up sending a text. Even after a reboot it was stuck in a sending loop. I then decided to turn off data and see if that worked but that only made it worse as i couldnt turn my data back on. I then force closed it which started bombarding my phone with force close errors.
THEN CRAAAAAAAAAAASH force close errors every 2 secs, no data (even after the *#*# reset.
I tried restoring to an earlier image i took but forgot it crashed during that too and the image was bad. I then just restored back to the base rom and redid my phone after doing the *#*# baseband settings just for good measure.
these are the apps i THINK were responsible for the crashing. Proton Voltage, Cache Cleaner NG, PREY
I will stay away from Proton for now, and have put CC NG back on but removed certain system actions and apps i DONT want it to touch. As of now prey is on it but not active.
anyway here is my question
When you change your base-band radio do you ALWAYS have to do the *#*# or just if you lose your 3?
Can the wrong radio cause issues with a certain ROM? I am running UCKD1 as of now with zulugen. second time around it seems good but who knows and I always wipe data between roms.
I have asked the question earlier but in the wrong section, as Im still getting the hang of where to post things here but anyone from the New England area have a good suggestion on a specific radio? Im in ct near the water, the dead zone of signal ESPECIALLY for ATT
If I flash my E! radio back (either the image i took or the one form the thread) it states to back up your EFS which i did. But why does it ask this, should i worry going back to the original E1 radio?
Do i have nice shoes?
thanks

First of all... let me address this before someone rips you apart here. Your question (if it is one) is a bit difficult to read. I am certainly not an english teacher but maybe a period here and there would make it easier to understand. Because I honestly don't know if you are asking a question, stating that you're having a problem with reflashing, going back to factory settings or other. I mean I had to read it 5 times!
Secondly... if you do a factory restore from the settings and you get the flashing android on boot you should let it keep flashing for a few minutes. You need to be patient because it is wiping all of your previous data/settings and restoring them to default.
Third. If it stays on the flashing android for longer then say three to five minutes (depending on how much you need to wipe) then go ahead and boot up in recovery mode and do a wipe from there. If you still get stuck on the flashing android then yes... reflash.
Fourth. Do not assume it is an app that causes this problem unless you are CERTAIN of it. Hundreds if not thousands of people have downloaded this app (including myself) and have not had a similar problem. Maybe do a search for the app name and read what people are saying about it. If it is the app then believe me you won't be the only one commenting. If you're lucky there will be a fix so you won't have to wipe or reflash.
Finally... every so often (especially before making a major change like apps to sd, themes, etc) it'll be a good idea to do a backup with Nand so even if you do end up messing something up (by app or user error) you can always reflash your image to your phone.
Good luck!
EDIT: Whoops! Wrong thread!
I'm very sorry for my poor English but my story is after installing ahome
everything was fine until I rebooted my phone. After rebooting the phone I
tried dialing a number and when I pressed a number once the it would dial
the number twice for example when dialing 7 instead of only dialing the
number 7 it would dial 77, or when using useful switchers turning off the wifi I
would try to check the wifi on but with one push it would check and uncheck
the wifi. Later I did a factory data reset and rebooted the phone I couldn't get
past the flashing android. I reverted back to stock rc33 just in case its a
hardware problem I can let t-mobile know thanks for the replies
i doubt it's a hardware problem.
i had the same problem, coincidentally after installing aHome; i was unable to get past the "flashing android" screen. The first reboot that i did, though, was after using the JF auto-updater app, so i'm not entirely sure where the problem lies.
long story short, i wiped my system, and am now in the process of installing Windows and the Android SDK to my system so i can do a restore.
thanks im gonna go back to root then
yeah, aHome still has lots of thigns to be fixed specially that force close issue every time u return to home :/ i liek dxtop better dont feel like scrolling tru 10 pages like the iphone..
So here is the problem - my sgs 4g (currently running valhalla black, earlier same problem with stock 2.3.6) turns off when someone is calling. It's not happening every time i get incoming call, just sometimes. It turns off without any sign of doing it(no vibration, no sound, not even the animation so i don't know that its happening, when the phone is in my pocket), and the caller gets voice mail.
I think the problem started after updating to 2.3.6, but it also can be caused by falling on the floor(happened few times).
What do you think? Anyone had similiar problems?
I live in Poland, so i can't get it fixed in samsung care point because they don't support SGS 4G.
sry for my spelling mistakes, i'm doing my best, but that's not my first language.
I'd say the best you can try is Gremlin Remover to see if it solves your problem.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=22596598&postcount=1
try tmo warranty after returning to stock gb
Gremlin Remover doesn't help. I flashed it only once.
I'm a bit afraid of sending it to USA Tmobile store from here, i think i'll look for some samsung magician in my country unless you have other ideas.
thanks for help and waiting for more solutions
#edit: is there any diagnostic software to check my phone hardware? Maybe something to save log of crash if its software failure?
When you say you flashed it once - do you mean Gremlin Remover or Valhalla Black?
And I wonder if it could be a modem issue for you since it started on KJ6. You might try flashing a different modem as a troubleshooting option.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=16127939&postcount=1
i had that issue on one of my sgs4g's a while back. wipe your sd card on your computer, odin back to kj6 stock. once you odin back to stock, make sure you perform a factory reset with the sd card removed. reboot and let it sit for a few min. do not sign into google or anything. have someone call you and see if the problem persists. let the phone function that way for an hour or so. then sign into google, but do not dl any apps. put back in your empty sd card and then reboot the phone. after a day, if you do not have the issue, you should be good to go. if you have the issue after a day, post back and pm me if i do not respond (i probably won't; i'm swamped at work and I am rarely on)
Ive had the same thing happen on valhalla black and I found that on my phone it was actually a skin that I had been using with adw ex. I changed my skin and cleared all my cache and dalvik cache and did not have a single problem after that. There are so many different things it could be. just experiment with it.
@lumin30: I meant stock 2.3.6 ->valhalla black (remover was the second)
That's something. I'll try everything you guys posted above and let you know the results in a few days.
Thanks for everything, appreciate your help.
#edit: LogsProvider service keeps crashing after blackout on valhalla black and i have to reinstall it. After flashing, the phone works for about 24h and then turns off. When I turn it on, logsprovider stops unexpectedly every 15 sec and i have to flash it again.
Now I am not sure if it's connected to incoming calls
After weeks of flashing and testing there is only one thing I am sure - nothing helped.. I tried many ROMs, different kernels and modems.
Now I can't see any relation to the software. Only thing on my mind is the battery, usually when my sgs turned off, the battery lvl was below 70%, so I ordered new one. I'll let you know if this changed anything.
I am having a very annoying problem with my Rogers I727R S2 phone on ICS stock.
The problem started to increase in frequency to become a real pain.
My phone would suddenly freeze and stop responding to screen touches for a bit, sometimes as long as 2 minutes, before bouncing back. When it comes back, it initializes as if it is restarting, so I would feel a vibration, lose all open applications and see icons start appearing on notification bar one by one. The media scanner would start working and software installed on SD card start appearing.
The problem happens spontaneously and out of the blue. It was occurring at less intensity on gingerbread before upgrading to ICS. After upgrading, it was not that frequent until only recently.
I noticed the problem goes away when I remove the SD card or when I am on flight mode with no Wi-Fi. I changed the SD card but this did not help. Connecting from home or work does not differ, so a problem with Wi-Fi would be ruled out. I once had a problem with home Wi-Fi when somehow the router’s DNS was not resolving, when this problem of mine was at its prime, and my phone was rendered unusable as it only takes couple of minutes before acting up.
I spent quite long time searching for an answer and so far no luck
I just placed a video illustration of the problem, and hope to get feedback on even where to head.

Try a different launcher.
the only way to troubleshoot is to start from scratch, read my 2nd link in my sig to restore to stock ics, reset within the recovery when odin finishes flashing, also keep out your sdcard out just to make sure your sdcard or its slot is not the problem. if still having probs its hardware failure, should still be under warranty

I went through your instructions restoring to stock ICS (which did not wipe my data as I thought it would). This did not help though, and the problem persisted. After that I decided to a hard factory reset. This appears to have done the job and my phone was working very smoothly.
Because my phone is rooted, I restored to the buggy stock again using CWM in hope to be able to figure out how to my migrate my purchased software, data and settings after hard reset. I wonder if there is a way to preserve important files even with replacing systems. I want to hard reset again but I keep my important information

after restoring stock perform a reset in the recovery, if old data is still there after reset its a hw defect in the nand
edit: reread your post so nm what i just posted, use titu or other backup software
Hi, everyone, sorry to bother you, but I'm in a bit of a pinch.
My unrooted stock Nexus 5 was running smoothly with then latest OTA update 5.0.1 until I got No SIM card error. I eliminated SIM card as problem source, removed SIM, discharged it completely and after few days turned it on and it was working. But problem returned soon and same method didn't show result. So things I already did:
- check my card in other phone: works
- check other cards in my phone: doesn't work either
- left it off without SIM for a few days
- erase cache
- upgrade to OTA 5.1.0
- factory reset
- unplug battery from motherboard for some time
- flash stock 4.4.4 from developers google com
- put some tape on card to make contact better
in this order. My next move would be to check if SIM card case pins are broken. Warranty expired month ago so there's that. Do you have any advice to give me? Is there any part of the phone that could've stayed not wiped during 4.4.4 stock flash and that's the reason problem remained?
You have a weather widget, clock, GPS location app that is causing the issue. Try uninstalling one at a time until you find the culprit. For me it was transparent weather clock widget that was causing this. Something about the way the app polls the GPS location causes problems.
I flashed stock 4.4.4 and only stock apps are present. I can either uninstall upgrades or root and delete gapps for good. What say you? I think phone somehow got "stupid" hard and I have to reset certain part that wasn't affected during flashing because it haven't once worked throughout process.
My nexus 5 is doing the exact same thing, exactly as you described, since the update. I'm losing my mind
Seeing as we both have the issue I don't think its a problem with your phone in specific. If anyone knows please help! I've tried uninstalling every app, going on safe mode, swapping sims etc

If it happened immediately or just after update try flashing stock KitKat.
Got the same trouble
The problems begun 1 week ago with interruptions with the radio, i have to restart the phone with Stockrom 5.1 self flashed and uber-kernel to get any connection. Switch the airplane mode often to get any radio signals. I ask my provider o2-germany for some trouble in their radio stations - and there was, just a few hours it worked. In a few days ago I traveled across germany, from the south to the north and back, got while traveling no good receptions, only gprs and edge. And now I switched from stock-rom 5.1 to OptiPop 5.1 the trouble begins with no-simcard ...
I will try xTraSmooth 5, when this ist not working i try an older image...
Edit:
OptiPop working now without flashing UBER Kernel. Now Issues so far!
Mine is absolutely stock on 5.1, not seen it once in 18 months and now it has done it twice in 12 hours.
I've always been completely stock and my phone started doing this every time I reboot it. Any more word on this? It also does seem my GPS looses lock on a lot too. This seems to have started since the last OTA update a few weeks back or so.
after i flash latest factory image mmb29v I got No SIM card error. There is an error in Safe Mode and SIM card not detected .pleas help me
Got my note back in November, rooted through odin in December. Everythings been grand and perfect.
Till I watched a video on youtube 2-3mnths ago about good rooted apps (wanted to get more daring other than xposed) loaded gsm gestures app? I think was the name. Kept it for a week, didnt use it. Uninstalled it, phone rebooted, instead of the normal "app uninstalled"
After that my phones been laggy, freezes, and freezes and turns off. Its factory wiped itself 8 times. I have countless posts on Reddit timelining everything. Long short is, tried liquid smooth to see if that would fix my problem, lost text messaging with that could only text for an hr a day, flashed stock sprint firmware and rerooted afterwards, have been slow to reload apps on phone, incase of factory reset or whatever. my phone is now taking 75+ batter pulls to get into a normal boot, every 15bat pulls it jumps into download mode "could not do normal boot ddi_mms read fail" and now an ssl text ive only seen once today, ill try and write that down if it happens again.
Finally when I get back into my phone, sometimes I have to update prl to get service again, the other day my phone lost signal and all my network settings were unselected, I had to select them all and my phone was fine, then I was on the phone and it cut me out in the middle of a call and said roaming lost or something, and I had to reapply cdma/lte on sprint.
Im beyond frustrated, im getting married in 2 weeks, and going out of country immediately after, so I need a working phone as most my business is conducted through it. I have no upgrade on sprint, and cant afford to throw out 400$ for a "new" note 4
Please please please someone help me.
Thanks for your time.

Hi,
Here's a thread on returning to stock firmware. That should give you a fresh start,
