Chrome to Phone - Black Screen on Setup - AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727

Anyone else having issues with Chrome to Phone on the Skyrocket? After connecting to my account in the app, it goes to a black screen with only the status bar visible and freezes. I have to press home multiple times and wait a few seconds for it to catch up before it lets me exit. I have wiped data and re-installed to no success.
This is on boneSTOCKeteer, (deodexed Rogers Stock).
Thanks.

It's worked fine for me on multiple ROM's. Currently SkyICS.
Try clearing program cache and a reboot?
Could be a problem on your Google end of things too. Check out your Google Chrome settings page.

No such luck. Now it seems to even have issues communicating with Google.

[Q] ICS text messaging problems

So I just updated my Atrix 2 to ICS and I cannot do anything regarding text messaging. I have Pansi, Handcent, and the stock app all installed. If I open either handcent or pansi after a few seconds it says the app isn't responding wait or close. If I open the stock app the loading symbol in the top doesn't go away and it doesn't load. If I open up my contacts and try doing it from there I can type out the text but as soon as I press send nothing happens it just freezes.
Also, every time I hang up after a phone call I get the process not responding message and then my phone is completely frozen.
While updating I was stuck on "upgrading media database" for nearly 3 hours and eventually got fed up and took my battery out and removed my SD and SIM cards. When I turned it back on it worked fine. Everything else works as normal.
Suggestions?
Try a factory data reset if nothing works. I think maybe all the databases did not get a chance to upgrade for you. Or if that still doesn't work, use the procedure to re-ics http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=32535217

Yeah the factory reset worked. No problems now. Thanks

[Q] Apps launching slow

I am on CleanRom 3.0 right now, fresh install. Now, for the problem. Today while sitting in class I took my phone out to see it was booted into safe mode. So I rebooted it back, and noticed a lot of my downloaded apps were launching 10-25 seconds after I clicked to open them. So, I rebooted again. That didn't work. I cleared cache and dalvik cache. That didn't work. So, I dirty flashed CleanRom 3.0, which still didn't work. After driving and listening to spotify in my car, the apps launched completely fine, and still are. Does anyone know why this is happening? By the way, this happened on my rooted stock rom, that's why I switched roms. I don't know if this could cause any issues, but I do use Directory Bind.
Have you checked if power saver is on?
Another possibility could be a lot of applications running the background and just slowing your phone down.
Check your task manager by holding the home button for about 2-3 seconds.
Yea, power saving is off. And there isn't any apps running in the background when it's ran slow. Most stock apps will launch fast (settings, phone, clock), but downloaded ones won't (I funny, handcent sms). I seriously can't figure out what the issue is. I've even tried messing around with set cpu, but that didn't help.

[Q] Notification icons gone after crash

I've got a Samsung Infuse 4G, originally Rogers now on Telus. It's been running ParanoidAndroid 2.53 from scott.hart.bti (build pa_infuse4g-userdebug 4.1.2 JO54K eng.scott.20121104.152548 test-keys) nearly flawlessly for a few weeks. I've installed a few apps (facebook, twitter, wikipedia, imdb, accuweather, etc.) but none recently.
Today, I answered a phone call from my brother, and when I took the phone away from my ear to hang up, it stayed black. I heard the disconnect sound, then it pretty much froze. I powered off to the Power Reset / Debug Mode screen, then rebooted. When it came back on, I'd lost a bunch of my settings, but not all. I currently have been unable to get back my full menu when I long-press the power button - it only has power off and reboot, no airplane mode, no volume, no profile choice (yes, I have configured these options in the settings). Further, my notifications work (ie, sound and vibrate), but the notification icon does not appear.
Anyone have any ideas what I should try? I could reflash and start over, but I'd rather not if I don't have to.
Thanks in advance.
Can anyone comment on whether or not this make be a problem with Trebuchet? Are the problems I mentioned the domain of the launcher, or is it something else? If these things are controlled by the launcher, am I able to reinstall / reset it to possibly fix the problem?
It sounds more like a SystemUI problem than a launcher problem. You can reflash the ROM without losing any data or settings by formatting just the cache partition and /system and also clearing dalvik cache. That will reinstall the ROM without data loss but if the problem persists I recommend a full and complete wipe and reflash.
If you believe it to be a trebucket problem though then download a free launcher replacement like Holo launcher from the store and see if that fixes your problems.

Add widget, crash Google Search?

Anyone else had this?
Today I removed my calendar widget because it seemed to be syncing improperly, and long pressed the screen to re add it. I tapped widgets, then when I tried to scroll to the next page of widgets, Google Search force closed and kicked me back to the home screen. Repeated three times, same result. Uninstalled updates to Google Search, and the problem stopped but also the home screen went back to the default startup arrangement.

Same issue here. I have even just reflashed a stock factory image and it still happens, must be a recent Google Search (launcher) update that is breaking things. Don't seem to be many people reporting this issue though...

Found another post that cured this problem.
Clear Cached data in Settings/Storage/Cached Data
Worked for me!

Same problem here. But I don't think it was because of adding widget.
I did nothing and it just happened. Both text search and voice search stopped responding.
After rebooting, it worked for a while then it crashed again.
FYI, my problem happened before there's an update yesterday. After updating new version, the problem is still there.
I own both Nexus 4 and 5. The symptom only appeared on Nexus 5.
Okay I'll try upgrading again to see if it still crashes. I have a Titanium Backup of the current setup.
Alright, tried that. Immediately after the upgrade, it once again crashes when I open the widgets menu. However, clearing the cache does indeed fix it. Thank you!
I'm slowly leaning back towards just ditching this to return to Nova Launcher though. The new features I use so rarely anyway.

bad widget, bad!
Encountering this same issue for the last 2 days, although I haven't tried to add a new widget in over a week. Attempted clearning cache, and uninstalling any recent apps - no fix. Multiple restarts - issue persists.
I'm running ART... can anyone else verify that they get this issue whether or not they've changed their runtime?
cheers
Art seems to be the cause here, well definitely was for me.
solution
Simple, but effective.
I continued to have this problem until I turned OFF Google Now, then turned it back ON. From that point on I have had no problems adding widgets or changing wallpaper using either runtime.

This worked perfectly for me; tried clearing apps cache through system settings, didn't work. Went into recovery, cleared cache, solved it. Thanks!
Sorry to bump an old post but I'm having this problem (not running ART), and clearing dalvik + cache didn't fix it for me. Any other things I can do to fix this?

Random crashing/freezing + restarts

On 5.1.1 with a S6 from Rogers in Canada, stock everything, unrooted
Recently phone has been freezing randomly then restarting on its own. Previously would happen just a couple times a week, but recently has been happening, more, today it happened 3 times in one hour.
Doesn't seem to be a specific app that causes this, the crashing also happened when I booted into safemode.
I have done a factory reset, reflashed the stock FW via Odin, and cleared the cache. None of this has helped. Anyone else experiencing this as well or know how to fix it?
I'm out of ideas and about to send it off to Samsung to get it fixed
same goes to me. coming from rooted rom. sometimes can't even go into recovery. it will crashed randomly. managed to install stock rom. but still got a lot of crash.
I find the samsung gear vr app causes lots of ****.
You can't even review it because it's not in the google store they just push it to the device.
Half the time the install reboots and screen is reset to 1028*768 ish. and about 32 colors. I have to reboot in disgust. Seems to put it back.
Sometimes I turn it on and It's a black screen with a small white x in the corner like an ad. But you can't hit the x or back out of the app or use the menu button to clear the app or use the home button to goto the home screen.
I know it's samsung/oculus **** because it says it out loud "plug in your samsung vr device......"
I've taken to clearing the dalvik and even the cache even though I have to reinstall all the apps.
