App dock open and close repeating...multiple

All of a sudden my Captivate is opening and closing my app drawer multiple times, and the phone vibrates as of I am hitting the button to do this.
I am on Cognition 2.16.
I have read that multiple vibes means that FVs are happening, but with the app drawer opening and closing like that, I'm not sure that is the case here.
Any ideas? Of something is FCing, is thee some log I can check?
I'm afraid I may need to do a completely fresh re-load.

Not sure if this is related, but when i first got a captivate the home button was hitting itself and you could see the home button dimming as if it was pressed.
All apps would close themselves, since the home button was being pressed.
Related? I am unsure, but the vibrates are suspect.

Did you find a resolution?

Whatever is going on with this thing it is killing me.I'm out of town now, but when I get back, I guess I'll have to try a complete refresh, with a master clear. Doesn't seen anyone has any input, do this must not be a very prevelent problem.

If anyone is paying attention to this little saga ....
I think I need to exchange my phone. I have flasted back to stock build (stock even before the 'fix' that they sent out)...and I just experieneced it do some of the wierd stuff.
I think I'll finish applying 2.17 Cognition, just for kicks...but expect it to still be problematic, and will likely return it tomorrow for a new one.
By the way, I'll add: it was generally acting like it was entering various random keys. Most often, like it was hitting the BACK key. But then it would possibly back through several things, such as opening the APPS, then closing, then reopening.
I could be in XDA app, reading a post, and all of a sudden it would back out.
Really strange.

My second unit did the exact same thing (my first unit had borked wifi). Oddly enough, mine didn't do it either until I flashed my first ROM onto it, but then again that only took five minutes from when I first opened the box. A flash back to stock didn't help. I had to exchange my unit, and have had no problems since. If you're even close to your thirty day window, run, don't walk, back to the store.

Got the new one. Flashing mhy cognition 2.16 to it right now. Fingers crossed.

[Q] I think my phone has insomnia.

So here's the deal.
Whenever I lock the phone, it always ALWAYS wakes up for no apparent reason, even if I manually put it to sleep with a short power button press. Its really annoying since I have to charge the phone more often than necessary now.
Is there a way for me to look for the cause of this? It all started when the car kit application keeps on popping up when I move the phone slightly. After I changed the settings + did a full reset (Stock --> custom ROM), it was okay but the backlight still is waking up.
HELP!

Have you tried to remove the car kit app completely? you can always put it back if this is not the cause... But if this is when it all started, this would be where I start.

I don't exactly don't know how to remove car kit completely.
I searched around google and came across this thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=619859
which describes the same symptoms as mine (Insomniac phone, Car Kit opening immediately after flash, Auto-speakerphone during calls, etc.) and they link it with a hardware problem, specifically with the microusb port.
The reasoning is that SOMETHING is causing the 2 circuits to short together (eg. rust or dust. yes, dust.) that makes it think that it is on car mode.
I'm not entirely sure if moisture had come in my phone, but I just cleaned it right now with some compressed air and I will report any changes.

Update:
Cleaned out the USB port with a pipet tip, blew some air in it:
Never had a problem since.
AH-MAY-ZING.

Update: Phone acted up again. Tried cleaning without any luck after.
Sigh, I guess I'll research more. Can anybody help me? I know its a microUSB issue but I don't know what to do. Can HTC replace my handset?

DId you ever fix this problem? I am having the same problem and its really pissing me off.

SK4G Software FLAWED!

What the hell is going on. I tried resetting and everything, even exchanged the device and the new one is doing the same thing! Also vibrating and force closing it is getting on my nerves! The followig seems to happen after a while I am TIRED of having to turn of my phone and turn it back on! ~ I go to play a .mp3 it says " FIle type not supported"...My .mp3 ringtone does not work the phone just vibrates the selected ringtone doesnt work. I got too take a picture or record video it says "Camera Failed"....I get a visual voicemail....the "play" button is grayed out and I have to turn off phone turn it BACK On just to check my voicemail. Also occassioally my sms wont work either. I turn my phone off and on every morning and throughout day I notice this and its getting REAL annoying !

Well first off, this isn't a software flaw, this is specific to you, as we have many users here including myself who are using these phones daily without the issues you are describing.
You had said that the issue was with an mp3, can you upload that somewhere for us to test on our phones?
As far as the camera and visual voicemail, I've never heard of that issue before, perhaps you ended up with a bad phone again?

I am getting the frequent force close with messaging. I also have had problems with the camera and idk about the mp3 stuff I haven't put any ringtones on the phone yet. This is getting really annoying I agree.

I don't have any issues with mine? Have you guys done anything like rooting or flashing anything?

Nope, completely stock. The most I have done is take a screen shot lol.

hmm maybe some have a defect? It's not all SK4g's though, as some of us have no issues at all. I would suggest getting it replaced by T-Mobile, as this is a factory defect. not sure why that happened to you guys. has anyone else had these issues and found any fixes?

That's kinda tough the hearest t-mobile is like 4 hours from here /:
One of my friends who went with me on the trip to get the SK also got one and he says he's never gotten a force close so you may be right. But could it have anything to do with the amount of texts I send/receive? Because I have to admit it is pretty excessive. The failing to send messages when I am receiving one simultaneously is expected, but not the force closes in my opinion.

It shouldn't force close on you. I know mine fails to send every once in a while too, as I text a lot (kinda the reason I got the phone). failing to send isn't as big of a deal, as it notifies you and you just have to click resend. Not entirely sure why it's force closing though? I wonder if a logcat might help? if you have adb installed, you can try adb logcat and see what shows up when you force close? if we can find the issue there, it might be fixable from our end. all depends on where the flaw lies/if it's just a bad apk somehow or if there's an actual hardware issue or something.

I'll do a log next time there is a fc, I'm having another issue or it may be related, but this one is with WidgetLocker I believe. Sometimes when I go to unlock the phone it'll freeze up and then I dont know how to explain it, but it almost seems like it resets but it really doesnt. The phone will blackout for a little then the homescreen will pop up and service will gone for a while until the cards are read just like if I rebooted.

That might be a function of WidgetLocker, I used it on my old G1 and it always hung and black screened at me.

Yeah I know it does that from time to time, but on my previous phone it wouldn't do that reboot thing where it would lose connection then resend my latest text messages once it reconnected.

I'm not sure why it's doing that. My guess would be that the issues are caused because the SK4G doesn't use a normal lock screen. widgetlocker uses some modification of the system file for the lock screen, and perhaps it's not sure what to modify? just my 2 cents.

That's what I was thinking too, I'm gonna uninstall it for a bit and see if anything changes.

is anyone else having an issue with notification volume? everytime i reboot my SK, my notification volume gets pushed all the way down to nothing, so i don't get a sound notification for texts, emails, etc, until i move the notif. volume back up in my settings. i did root with the one-click for the Epic 4G.

This is a new UI so alot of the apps i.e. widgets you may put on will cause issues. If you like certain apps contact the dev so your device is supported correctly. Still to new to get mad at it till sum of the bugs get worked out. I did notice a couple of times when I left screen on in pocket on accident that when I go to use it again it doesn't respond to any touch but can move courser around till rebooted then its ok. If some don't already know the sk4g is almost the same as the epic. The sk4g is still a badass phone for 100bucks.

Same as the OP
I know this is a little old, but I've experienced the same problem as the OP so it seems they are not alone with this problem.
I actually tried two different newly formatted SD cards (because I thought it may have been the SD card), and still would have the problem. Then I actually did swap phones about a month ago and it seemed the problem would now take several days to resurface instead of several hours. And I could deal with that.
Since the OTA update about 2 weeks ago, the phone has been back on it's original BS as the OP posted and it's driving me nuts. I actually missed some emergency calls last night because the mp3 ringtone didn't work so I'm finding a solution to this issue today or trashing this phone.
My belief is that there is something interfering with the phone's ability to read the SD card for media. Because other apps I have that save to the SD card or read from it work fine. So I'm going to master reset it and not download any of my apps and see what happens when I set an mp3 ringtone. If it makes it through the day with no hiccups, I'll slowly add back one app at a time until hopefully I can find the culprit.
bipoler if you'd like, we can exchange via PM what apps we both have downloaded and see if we have some in common that may be problems.
I'll post back with any progress.

I've been having the problem with ringtones not working, just getting silence when I get a call. for me it seems to happen when I set a ringtone from the app Zedge, I don't think it happens when I use ringtones from the Android System, which would make sense if the issue is related to reading the sdcard. gonna go back to a system ringtone and see what happens today.

Yeah my phone had all those problems, but I installed the Lightning rom and all those problems went away, except for the ones about messages failing...I text A LOT

Lightning ROM
Thanks for that info on the Lightning Rom. I will check that out. Phone has been working flawlessly all day with the mp3 ringtone and no extra apps besides the master reset. I might give it until the morning before I start putting them back on.

On stock id install so many apps that ran on the background that id get delay from opening closing swiping and turning onthe phone.. so I wiped it installed a custom rom and just kept the essentials.. havnt had a problem since... well.. occasionly ill have to odi but that's on purpose

[Q] Some Phone Issues (If you have some smarts please advice)

I have been having trouble with my i727 over the past few weeks. It has shown 3 different problems which are really starting to bug me. The three problems are not related but I have condensed them into one thread. Please pardon me as I am pretty noobish with the software end of things.
1. Glitchy when charging. Any time I plug in a charger the screen and softkeys freeze up. I have to hold the power button for a while to get it to unlock. When it is not frozen. The screen is messed up. Sometimes I tap with one finger or slide to unlock and it zooms as if in multitouch. One time I tried to dial a 3 in a phone number and it dialed 374 just randomly on its own. I don't know if the charger is messing something up in this. Note: This started happening after I rooted for the first time but has been consistent through the many roms I have had. I'm pretty sure its not skyics. Do I need to call ATT for this
2. Also my GPS has been taking a really long time to fix if not at all. I normally use it in maps but if I open a simple gps coordinates read out app. Sometimes the GPS fails to start. I don't know if it is a skyics issue or if I have a hardware issue. Any input would be helpful
3. Lastly, its not really a big deal and is probably a simple fix but I have tried everything. I use dolphin browser and everytime I search google it thinks I am in canada and no matter how many times a change it. It always reverts to canada.
If you have experienced these issues or if you know why they are being caused please let me know because I don't know what they could be. My phone (should) still be under warranty (if you ignore the root) so I may want to call ATT especially if its a hardware prblem

It sounds like a bad flash and you may want to wipe and reflash. As for the GPS I am on Sky ICS 6B and the GPS is glitchy frequently. For example today I wanted to look up directions to a restaurant down the street and the GPS thought I was 2,000 miles away in Vegas (I wish lol). I tryed it again tonight and the gps is working. I don't know how to fix the gps problem and we may just have to wait for updates in the rom, but as for the other systems it sounds like a bad flash as I described before. Anyone else think this?

First if you are on a Custom Rom, try updating it or reinstall the current rom. Delete Caches, and try again
for GPS, Maybe try another GPS app such as my favorite CoPilot
And for browsers I would switch to another browser, I am currently test three at the moment, Chrome, Puffin, and Opera. I must say Puffin is simple and fast, while I use opera on my Desktop so I would prefer Opera. Try it out might just be the browser.
Could be just settings in the browser that is set to Canada English Language settings.
Well I hope I helped some what. :cyclops:

I've had the exact same problem with the GPS on Sky ICS 6B, and I thought it was just me because no one has listed it as a known issue! I guess it's time to try a different ROM.
As far as the glitches while charging - are you using the supplied Samsung charger that came with the phone? This phone is highly sensitive to ANY other charger not designed specifically for the i727.

I find the opposite in my experience. When using my Samsung charger (usually at weird angles though because charge & use while in bed) it disconnects rather often , while my Atrix 2 charger stays connected without issue. As I said though it may just be the obnoxious angles the cord gets put in. As for the GPS I was also surprised to see little to no complaints about issues with it.

1. There's a few posts over in the ICS threads that talk about charging issues. Do a search for those (stock charger, etc) and see if any of the symptoms match yours.
Frankly, I think you have a bad flash, as someone else mentioned. IMO its best that you backup your pics, videos, music, etc, then wipe both your internal and external SD cards, then load ICS on your ext SD and start over completely from the beginning. No restoring backups from TB, either. Take the extra time and reload everything from the app store and set them up manually.
Case in point, Seanscreamz mentioned in the 4.0.4 thread that he accidentally wiped his emmc (internal SD) and after reload it fixed some glitchy weirdness.
2 & 3 are related. Your browser is using your map data, and so does your GPS if you have that turned on in settings. Fix one, you fix the other. I had the GPS issue in SkyICS as well. Go into the maps app, clear data and clear cache. Immediately reboot the phone into recovery, wipe dalvik and cache from there. Reboot. Since the phone has to rebuild the davlik cache, it takes awhile to come back up.
That fixed my issue (even if some steps were unnecessary, it can't hurt).
If you do flatten and reload the phone, don't forget to install Busybox and run Fix Permissions after you install the update.
Good luck!

[Q] Bluetooth will not turn on...

Just got a replacement N5 from Google for a warranty issue and after full re-root and setup I went to get in the car today and use bluetooth and I noticed a problem. Bluetooth will not turn on. Tapping the slider moves the position to on but it remains greyed out and, in fact, off. I tried a restore of the bluetooth share and pairings from Titanium backup and that just hung and never completed. I can always factory reset it but I hate to go back through that ... anyone got a way to 're-install' bluetooth and save a reset and reconfiguring for me?

This apparently has been problem for Nexus 4 and Nexus 5. One poster from android central posted this for his Nexus 4:
I called Google technical support and they found a solution for me.
-In your Nexus 4, go to parameters/Applications/All/Bluetooth
-Here: erase cache, data and updates.
-Resart your phone.
In Nexus 5 Settings>Apps>All>Bluetooth Share. There you might try Clear data and Clear cache.
Got nothing to lose. Hope it works. I cannot test it myself since my Bluetooth is working.

Thanks for the suggestion. I had looked around and saw a couple mentions loosely similar related to the N4 but wasn't sure if same applied to N5. Looking though ... I do not have a bluetooth share app installed. That must be the issue, anyone got a way to re-install that Bluetooth Share, seems my backups from Titanium won't restore it.

Found thread where someone had your issue and solved it with reset.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/google-nexus-5/help/activate-bluetooth-t2595761
Maybe you could do backup to PC and get this restored with reset.
I know it is a PITA.

I figured a reset would square it away, was just hoping to find a way to avoid that if I could. I suppose next w/e I will reset if I don't find another way to get BY back.

When I run this app, it says no BT folder found. Seems the issue is that somehow this BT Share app just isn't there.

Another fix...
I know you already solved your problem, but I thought for people like me, who have found this thread later on, I'd just sign up to XDA and post my fix.
I didn't want to do a hard reset, so I played around with the "Bluetooth-Share"-thing in the Android app manager.
I cleared the cache and the data, that didn't do anything, even after a reboot I couldn't get the Bluetooth toggle from beging greyed out.
After that, I found that button at the very top right, that is labeled as " Uninstall Updates" or something like that. I tapped it and tapped OK at the following prompt. Where the "Uninstall Updates" button was before, should now be a greyed out "Disable" button. Then you need to reboot.
Try to enable Bluetooth. The toggle should turn blue after a few seconds as usual. Bluetooth should work normally now.
I hope my post helped anybody, :cyclops:
-hiwye

I am not having any luck. My bluetooh stopped working after doing a hard reset. Please note I've never rooted or flashed a ROM, or unlocked boot loader or anything. My N4 and N5 have always been completely stock.
I've tried everything in this thread, except I am not sure what hiwye is talking about as I cannot find an uninstall updates. I went ahead and tried another factory restore/wipe and still have same issue. I hit toggle to turn Bluetooth on, it then immediately toggles back to off.
Just as a side note, my bluetooh was working fine until the factory wipe/reset. I did the reset in an attempt to fix a sim card slot issue, that is also still not resolved. Upon restarting my phone, I get "no sim card" message. I got a new sim card and also confirmed the sim card works fine in other phones..... i can turn off, pop it out and back in and boot it again. sometimes it will see the sim card again. It may take 20 times, but finally work..... I should probably start a new thread on the sim card thing, but wondering if my motherboard needs replaced.....

I didn't want to do a hard reset, so I played around with the "Bluetooth-Share"-thing in the Android app manager.
I cleared the cache and the data, that didn't do anything, even after a reboot I couldn't get the Bluetooth toggle from beging greyed out.
After that, I found that button at the very top right, that is labeled as " Uninstall Updates" or something like that. I tapped it and tapped OK at the following prompt. Where the "Uninstall Updates" button was before, should now be a greyed out "Disable" button. Then you need to reboot.
Try to enable Bluetooth. The toggle should turn blue after a few seconds as usual. Bluetooth should work normally now.
I hope my post helped anybody, :cyclops:

I am not having any luck. My bluetooh stopped working after doing a hard reset. Please note I've never rooted or flashed a ROM, or unlocked boot loader or anything. My N4 and N5 have always been completely stock.
I've tried everything in this thread, except I am not sure what hiwye is talking about as I cannot find an uninstall updates. I went ahead and tried another factory restore/wipe and still have same issue. I hit toggle to turn Bluetooth on, it then immediately toggles back to off.
Just as a side note, my bluetooh was working fine until the factory wipe/reset. I did the reset in an attempt to fix a sim card slot issue, that is also still not resolved. Upon restarting my phone, I get "no sim card" message. I got a new sim card and also confirmed the sim card works fine in other phones..... i can turn off, pop it out and back in and boot it again. sometimes it will see the sim card again. It may take 20 times, but finally work..... I should probably start a new thread on the sim card thing, but wondering if my motherboard needs replaced.....

I get the same Sim card missing screen I have tried a new sprint Sim and same issue. They way I have been fixing it is to pop off back cover and where the vibration motor sits (stays attached to cover) I put my finger in the hole and squeeze the 2 parts together and hold tight till it finishes booting and it will see the card. I'm not sure what's exactly the problem is but it works as temp fix and will stay until the next reboot.

Only device so doing it and taking PUC not gonna happen let me look up some images and I'll post them its not that difficult if you have had the back cover off before its very obvious where motor is. The motor is literally just under the flash led. Pop off cover starting at the top and slowly down each side with a guitar pick there is a tiny bit of adhesive at the bottom of rear cover about where the soft keys are when phone is on. Peel that up slow and you will see the vibration motor stuck to rear cover. See the space it came out of and put finger in that hole. And other finger opposite the first one on the glass and squeeze.... Not crazy so you break screen. Don't take much pressure. Start light and boot it. Says no Sim, try again with a little more pressure. When it first happened I googled sh*t for 2 days and couldn't find a fix. And this worked when I tried and a few reboots after. I shut phone off or battery dies I gotta do it to get Sim recognized.
