Hey everyone,
I've been running the Stock Rogers GB with FUGU root for a few months now, and I have been dealing with a frustrating problem for most of that time. Whenever I download an app update through the marketplace, the phone freezes for a second or two and I get an error message telling me that Swype has crashed. Sometimes it freezes to the point I have to pull the battery, none of the buttons work and I can't even power off holding the power button for 10-15 seconds.
Has anyone else had this problem? I am wondering if it's Swype or the root method causing the problem(I have redone both installs numerous times)? Some interoperability issues I'm not aware of?
Please don't suggest installing Custom ROM A or B, I am more interested in what is causing this issue more than trying to fix it at the moment. I am happy with everything the Rooted Stock offers me for the time being, with the exception of this issue.
Any input will be greatly appreciated.
Thanks.
Why don't you try custom ROM with Swype included?

Either you're trolling me or you totally didn't read.
Thanks.
Try a factory/data reset, start fresh and from there try it!
I was on Rogers Stock GB before and I don't remember having those problem. Try doing what B-eock said, do a back up of your files (photos, music etc...) and do a factory reset.

Hey guys, my warranty is coming close to it's end so I would like to know if this is a hardware issue or a rom issue. When I was on ICBINB GB my phone started to lock up for about 5-10 seconds and then it would flash the "Samsung Galaxy S 4G" screen and reboot. I figured it was the rom so I switched to Audiophile FTW Edition So Fn loud your ears will Cream. For a while all was well, but now it's doing it more and more. I was wondering if I did the install wrong or what. I didn't notice it until switching to Gingerbread so does that have something to do with it? Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks!

for testing flash a stock rom clear all caches evne re parttion if u have to to clear everything move all important data off the sd card reformat it put the data u need back on the card reinstall all apps from market... Test the stock rom for a few days if no issues arise its a good chance its not so much the rom but more issues with the gb leaks u can also try a stock gb build dont use a modified stock just stock see if it does it....
Thanks, I was hoping that this was a known issue with a solution
I'll try what you suggested. Thanks

haha, I'm horrible with remembering that. Thanks for the reminder
For anyone else who may have this problem, it seems as if TWlauncher was the issue. The rom I was on didn't include TWlauncher so I installed it manually. It stopped locking up and rebooting so hopefully that was it. Thanks for everyone's help
Hi,
I have been using Atrix 2 for almost 4 months now and i was very happy with it. I also a got an OTA to ICS. But recently my dialer/phone is not working properly. Whenever i press the dial button for any contact it takes almost 5 to 10 mins to dial that number and during that time even the back button wont work in the dialer/phone. But all other apps seem to work fine. I am unable to make calls properly as it takes too long nearly 10 mins to dial that number. I tried restarting the phone and also uninstalled few apps which i thought might be cause. But nothing seems to fix the problem.
When i do a factory reset then it works fine for almost a day and the same problem repeats again. Details are given below,
Phone: Atrix 2
OS: Andriod 4.0.4
Root: Not Rooted.
Please help me fix this problem.

Might try booting into recovery and fixing permissions. Are you using any 3rd party dialing or contact apps?

No. I am not using any 3rd party dialer or contact apps.
Could you please let me know how to fix the permissions using recovery as mentioned ?

You're on a completely stock system right? Definitely weird, since you have no root and stock recovery, and factory reset doesn't fix it. Then I would suggest fxz a clean system. You can check the noob guide for more info about how to do it, and which fxz you need.

Flash it in CWM. There are some minor bugs though. I would suggest u manually write down the apns before flashing and add it back once done.
Im currently running beanstalk 4.2.2 v5 rom and when i try to install any app no matter how small or large the apk is, it takes forever to install it. I have no clue what could be causing this at all. it just one day started taking a very long time to install anything. is there something i can do to fix this or is it more of a device problem? ive tried searching google for anything that may help me out in this and came up not finding anything close to helping me. Thanks in advance!

i would say to flash to stock then wipe and do a fresh installation..
The only problem I have with that is that for some reason I can't get Odin to work on my phone. But its also been a while since I've tried as well. Is it BC I've flashed many different ROMs and installed and uninstalled apps with residual data left over?

no. go through the odin ts in the restoring to stock sticky, link in my sig
Does anyone have a problem with random "pauses" while using apps? It's totally not noticeable for applications that aren't continually running animations (ie: kindle, text scrolling) but becomes evident when doing thins such as:
- recording video (the "pause" will cause the recording to stop randomly for both continuous and time lapse)
- playing games (will cause the game to go to the pause screen)
- tasker programming (I think this is affected because tasker will randomly close itself without a FC dialog, profiles and tasks seem okay)
I turned on debugging to see if it was a dirty screen or anything, but the touch coordinates don't change at all when the "pause" happens. Anyone have an idea how I can fix this? It is rather crippling to the N5.
I am rooted and I have seen this problem on all roms (and I believe I noticed it on stock too...)
I use a ballistic case, if anyone else has had problems with it...
Thanks in advance!
Using N5 on Carbon + Franco kernel
I guess no one's ever had this problem before? =[
Have you tried factory reset? Fixes most problems. Could be Franco's kernel has a bug in the latest release.

Have you tried going back to complete stock to see if that fixes the problem?

I've tried out a few roms (factory reseting and cache clearing between each one) to see if it was any one problem, but whether AOSP or CM based, I still have the problem =/

Do you mean stock + unrooting? I think I remember having the problem back then, but I don't quite remember before I rooted...I'll try going back to stock w/ root first and see if it's still happening. Thanks!

Yes follow the link in the general to go back to complete stock and that will eliminate anything and everything that could be an issue related to software.
For what it is worth, what method did you use to root?

Hmm, I think it worked. I haven't tested it out for lengthy periods of time but I haven't noticed any pausing anymore! =]
I followed the unroot instructions to return to stock. Although I didn't relock the bootloader.
Then I booted up stock and it seemed like it works fine.
I reinstalled CWM recovery through adb (same as I did the first time) and proceeded to reflash
It seems like the problem is gone now on custom ROM as well. Interestingly enough, if I nandroid restore my old backup, I do get the problem again.
Is there something different between reflashing stock part and wiping from factory/data reset + system partition format + wipe cache + wipe davalik?
Thanks for your help guys! I was sure before that it was hardware since I had the problem on stock w/ root, but thankfully it's not a hardware problem! =]
Good day everyone. So I recently started to experience weird freezes and crashes of most of the apps. Like facebook, instagram, some games. Not all of the apps do this. It all started about a month ago. I tryed using multiple diffrent ROM's. Although that ROM did work correctly for another month before these errors came up. Now I am using Global Elite rom: https://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s6/development/sm-g920f-sm-g925f-griffin-t3435461
I always do a clean flash. Rooted with magisk, even though I was using SuperSU for other roms. Any help will be aprecieted. I am suspecting hardware failure (anyway to test that?). Thanks in advance.
Bumping this thread. Things getting worse... Please anyone. I am desperate...
Why don't you revert to your initial ROM, the one that never caused any issues?

Problem is that every rom I've tried do same things. What is left to try is stock official firmware. But I will have to try it later as I am currently on the go.
Try to do a factory reset and see if the problem persists.
