1st-sometimes when switching from 2g or wifi back to 4g i cant get a connection even though i have 4 signal bars...the only cure is to reboot the phone...anybody have any ideas? And this happens in various locations.
2nd-started a few days ago..phone doesnt make a sound when i get email or sms but rings when someone calls..i reset the phone and sounds come back for a while and then it goes away again.
on cm7 7.1.0.1
1. Reset APN settings to default
2. Reboot into recovery, fix permissions, and wipe cache
3. Reboot and let it settle for 5 mins.
Good luck, let me know if it works.

I've cleaned my dalvik cache because I had some issues with an app (sipdroid) that prevented the phone to boot.
Cleaning the cache fixed the problem, but now almost everything App goes in FC.
I've read that I may need to clean /data/boot-cache via adb, but I don't have this folder.
Samsung spica and Samdroid/2.1 here.
Try to do an Factory reset?
Yup, Hard Reset or if all else fails...the dreaded Reflash.
something Ive done over 5 times.
Ugh
reboot your phone then it'll be okay
So my setup is I take my phone to work and I charge it there while I work and listen to my music on it. Well, I just got this two days ago and it seems when its charging I can't get on the internet. It has a full HSPA+ signal. Restarting it fixes it for about 3 minutes while charging. If I put on airplane mode and take it off while charging, again it lasts for just a few minutes then no connection in apps/browser.
I've searched for some posts but haven't seen anything on this. Any ideas? I'm likely going to have to take it back to the store and show them my issue and try to get a new one because this sucks!
Thanks in advance.

Something like that happened to me once. I had full signal and HSPA data icon but I couldn't get a data, voice or GPS connection. I wasn't charging. After I reboot the phone everything was fine. Only happened once. I also sometimes get the data connection dropped while the voice connection has a strong signal, but in that case the data connection icon disappears from the status bar.
If I were you I'd backup whatever you have on your phone and do a factory reset to rule out any software affecting the phone. If you still get the problem I'd suspect it's a hardware issue and get it replace/repaired.
If you are on stock, try factory data/wipe reset. If you are rooted, install clockworkmod recovery, wipe cache/wipe davlik cache, fix_permissions. If above didn't help, probably a hardware issue, you need to get it replaced....

if rooted and using a custom rom, there is also a possibility that the issue is caused by overclocking. Many overclocked devices lose connection to the mobile network with no discovered cause yet.
@dbannisterjr, if you have a way to reproduce this problem please let us know. If you are overclocking your device, try lowering the amount it is overclocked.

+1 this is exactly what i was going to recommend
hey all,
on friday I rooted my NS again to check out cm7 rc1. before i was totally stock @ 2.3.2. friday evening i wanted to show my iphone friends the nexus s with cm7. the first one took it and did take some photos. then he smiled and gave it back to me. force close: SORRY: Android.process(???) has stopped unexpectedly.
this error was looping all the thime. i pressed okay and one sec later it was there again. i tried to flash the rom again in recovery, but the error was still there. i did date and cash wipes and some factory resets and then the error was gone.
on sunday i was travelling home on train and suddenly the error was back. i tried again some wipes and then i deceided to restore my nandroid backup. so i was back on 2.3.2. during sunday afternoon and evening i got these errors:
- NS is freezing while it is in standby... if i grab the phone and want to unlock it but the display keeps black -> i have to put out the battery..
- NS is beside my keyboard and suddenly all four buttons are on. display is still black. unlock not possible--> battery again
- NS is freezing while using facebook or twitter app
today... i unrooted it again and went back to a nandroid (2.3.1) guided _here_.
after unrooted again NS wanted to update to 2.3.2 which i confirmed.
about to hours later the errors i explained came back.
am i the first one who bricked NS?
please give me some help how to get it back working correctly, because i love this phone so hard.
I did another factory reset and now the phone is hanging at the google Logo. The four buttons are powered.
This is looping, too.
Yesterday I tried some things to kill these errors. I did:
- factoy reset (in settings menu)
- fastboot erase userdata 2x
- wipe cache, wipe data, wipe devliak
Today the phone was with out a problem, but just a moment ago I wanted to unlock it by pressing the power button but the display didn't react as usal. It is still black and the only thing I can do is to take out the battery....
Last step I can do is to send it back to my girlfriends sister in US so that she can bringt it to Samsung US to get it serviced.
"bricking" the phones involves the phone not being able to turn on or do anything, period. your phone isnt a brick. after doing a "factory reset" you want to reflash whatever rom you are using. it seems like youre having problems with a bad app or some bad data.
thx simms22. i just flashed the newest cm7 nightly with rom manager (incl. wipe). i set up all my apps and 20 min later the error come.
to figure out if it is a bad app problem i do a factory reset now and won't log into google account and see if the error appears.

i did a factory reset and skipped google setup after first boot.
i just entered sim code and let nexus s in idel mode.. about 15 mins later the four buttons were lightened but i couldn't unlock the phone. battery out... and i could power it on.
so it's some kind of bad data problem? but how to find and/or clean this bad data? thx again for your help.
edit: I found a lot on google for "full wipe bad data". I'm reading now! But I may have to ask you something
edit2: in recovery (cwm3.0.0.5) I did: format system, format data, format cache and format sdcard. then i mounted usb and copied this nandroid 2.3.1 to it and flashed it. I booted and installed system update 2.3.2. now testing again without apps.
edit3: the hole day no problems. I only installed twitter and in the evening 2.3.3 manually. This morning again the phone was not unlockable. I had to take out the battery... on my way to work I did a wipe from stock recovery but shortly later the phone freezed while I used the slider to unlock it. oh man that sucks I thought it was fixed.
I make some coffee now and start google'ing. If you have some tipps, please throw them to me.
maybe reflashing radio?

im going to have you try wiping once again. wipe data/factory reset. only this time reupdate to android 2.3.3 right after the factory reset in recovery. dont boot after wiping, update after wipe, then reboot.
--> stock recovery -> wipe / factory reset -> reflashed update (ota2.3.3) -> testing now without installing apps
thanks simms!
Edit: the phone got a freeze while I wanted to unlock it -.-
Edit2: I'm testing now in airplane mode. Maybe the error doesn't come...

im now thinking it might not software related. if it was software, a wipe and reupdate should have fixed it. maybe you should check into a warranty replacement. .
In airplane mode the error is there, too.
Okay thx 4 ur help. I'm starting a service request. Bad day -.-

the only other thing i can think of that might cause something like that after wiping is something bad on your "sd" storage. copy everything you need off your "sd" storage and try wiping that.

I think I allready did this? Or do you talk about this 1gb sd. If so, how to format this one?

According to this thread I think you will have to get it replaced:

Holy sh** what an anoying link. -.-
BUT: thanks dude.. now I know waaazzz up
Everything was going so well. I received my perfect phone a couple days ago...unlocked it, installed cwm 6.0.4.4, and rooted it. Kept it stock and only flashed franco and Drummerjed's volume boost. Life was swell.
I decided I wanted to try the Dalvik optimization mod and in preparation booted into recovery to make a nandroid. I always wipe the cache/dalvik cache before making nandroids because they're made faster when I do this. Never had an issue. This time, however, after clicking to wipe the cache partition the system seemed to freeze, which was weird because on my N4 it clears the cache in a matter of seconds. I held the power button down to reboot the phone and immediately knew something was wrong when I was greeted by 3 warning signs in the notification bar. I then discovered that I have no cell service. I am also unable to access internal storage.
I imagine that I'm going to have to flash the factory image and start over, but I'm wondering if there's any way to avoid that? I'm also wondering why this happened so I can avoid reproducing this in the future. Does cache wiping take considerably longer on the N5, and did I interrupt the process by rebooting the phone?
Thanks so much for your help.
I think you did interupt the process by rebooting the phone. Wiping dalvik/cache does seem to take a lot longer on this phone than on other devices (the only other device I have to compare to is the Nexus 7 though). I would say to just let it sit while it does it's thing next time.
I did have a problem with not having cell service once after wiping dalvik/cache though. I just rebooting into recover and wiped again and my cell service was back. Give that a shot and see what happens.

Thanks, ramdyc, wiping again worked. After rebooting, everything was back to normal (seemingly). Cache wipe on my N5 takes waaayyy longer compared to what I'm used to on N4...just gotta be patient with it!
If you are using TWRP, go into the settings and enable rm -rf and it will wipe instantly. (or something like that - forgot teh exact setting name)
If anyone reads this and wiping it again DOESN'T work, you can flash the stock cache.img via fastboot and you'll be good to go.

I'm using cwm. I actually just flashed the recently released touch version of it and wiping cache with it took mere seconds like it does on my N4. Thanks for your help, guys!
Im in the UK and on vodafone and yesterday i updated my s6 to 5.1.1
Now my phone keeps vibrating and playing my notification sound every minute or so even if there isn't notifications pending/received. Not only is this annoying but also runs my battery down quickly. It even does this when my phone is set to silent. Anybody have a cure before i return my phone?
Turn off the phone, hold volume up home and power button at the same time. Once you see the menu just wipe your system cache. It fixed my problems I was experiencing when I updated my phone.

Do you need to redo all your settings and reinstall apps when you do this though?
Wiping cache will not delete your data that may result to reinstalling your apps. Though its best to back up your device before doing it.

Just wipe cache
Choose Wipe Cache Partition. Choosing the other will delete all your date and reset S6 to factory state.
How can i format system partition ? But not installing custom recovery ...
The problem is that after flashing 5.1.1 with odin the phone has a lot of errors = force close...
I have tried to wipe data and cache several times and setup from start but seems that something stays from previous Rom....
