**SOLVED** process com.android.phone - Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

:highfive: Hi there can someone help me ? I have look here, Google and none prevail.
Here's what I know so far, has to do with my SIM card cause when it's not installed I don't have that problem. It use to be just for CM roms but now a few AOSP and AOKP gives me this error. In CM9 had a french message telling me: erreur d'affichage de la zone utilisez un appareil recommandé
with CM10 I get this message about the process.android. But getting a few now on some AOSP and AOKP roms.
Did a full wipe everytime, tried disabling,deleting everything going to auto sync disabled, deleting contactprovider data I'm really lost and getting annoyed of beeing able to just flash a ''few'' roms.
Does any had the problem fixed ?
Thanks

MeteoMedia app problem. You're using it, aren't you?

Non, même pas. Not even one app. It's brand new installation and or replacing another one.

Because that's normally a problem with the MeteoMedia app or the weather being unable to get your location for some reason.
What is the exact message you get with CM10?
Try to put the phone in English US and select a "known" location for the weather, something such as Montreal if you're used to selecting a smaller city.

No cannot be that I have no apps whatsoever about weather. I flash from the original ''stock'' custom roms. I get that problem only when I have my SIM inserted too. I tried to set up in english with SIM and without, not set up in both languages without the SIM card and still no luck. Very odd and cn't find any info related as well.
Thanks alot by the guys I apprecate that ALOT.

Again, what is the exact message regarding the com.android.phone process?
I don't mind if it's in French, by the way.
Edit: Try setting your timezone manually instead of automatically. Settings > Date and Time. Uncheck Automatic Date/Time and Automatic Timezone. Set yours accordingly.

Malheureusement, le processus com.android.phone s'est arrêté.
That's what I get like message. I tried what you asked about the time in your last post and it didn't work. Just saw a post from a guy and he's with Videotron and has the same issue so I think it's a Videotron our carrier's SIM card. But odd that only 2 people are complaining about this issue.
Thanks again appreciate your help

So do you still get the "erreur d'affichage de la zone utilisez un appareil recommandé" error at boot, or just the com.android.phone process one?
Try to manually select your network operator in the settings instead of automatically, or the other way around.
In CM9/10, Settings > More > Mobile networks > Network Operator.

Nope I don't get the Erreur de la zone...only the process.com.phone error...And I will try as you said in the previous post about setting it manually.
Right now the only workaround I found is to not wipe data when I install the rom and I don't get the error.
On top of working rom I Wipe cache and dalvik then flash a rom (with the process.com.android error) and then flash cache and dalvik again and reboot.
Seems to work ok so far.
But still I will try a full wipe and try manual settings. Will let you know thanks again.

Have you tried a different SIM card?

Sorry about the delay was on vacation And still no luck still stuck with the same error even when I applied your tricks. I even tried with a different SIM card but from the same service provider. Had the same error. I will try my old SIM card as soon as I find it and try and see....
Thanks alot guys

Have you tried logging when error occurs via Logcat or DDMS:
ADB:
1. Connect device via USB.
2. Make sure Debugging is ON.
3. Open CMD Prompt and Type:
adb logcat -v long
DDMS:
1. Connect device via USB.
2. Make sure Debugging is ON.
3. Open CMD Prompt and Type:
ddms
DDMS window will open.
4. Select your device on the top left panel.
5. You can see all messages now being logged. For any problems, where it says 'verbose' choose 'Error' on the dropdown box You can also use 'warn'.

Well thanks again I have been working on this DDMS thing all day and the logcat. I see lots of error and trying to figure out since it's the first time i'm using this DDMS and logcat but can't be too hard. Thanks alot there the DDMS log if you want regarding the com.android.phone error. Incomplete but I get the error at the begining where it says Main fatal error.
Thanks lot everyone really really.

And now with JellyBelly 1.0 I don't have any com.android.process error I'm back with Erreur de l'affichage de la zone :s
At least I can maybe suspect that the problem has something to do with my SIM card not able to connect with my providers network.
Thanks again guys

Finally solved
Was about time I was going nuts over this and on top of that I only I think 2 roms that I was able to flash without having this stupid error.
The problem was.......Drum roll Stk.apk a.k.a Sim Tool Kit. I just deleted it from the zip file and flash the new zip and voila stupid problem solved....
Or if it's already installed on your phone just remove with (i used Root Explorer) the apk in system/app and Stk in dalvik then just reboot and no more annoying message and everything works great.
Thanks to all of your replies and solutions...I appreciate it alot
Merci beaucoup tout le monde

hi,
i hope someone could help me with a few problems I can't seem to understand.
i'm using:
MAGIC; CyanogenMod 4.2.3.1
radio 3.22.20.17
kernel 2.6.29.6
hboot 1.33.2010
1.it happened while using the phone, and also when it was idle:
all of a sudden the screen went black, and the trackball started to glow on and off. the phone didn't responde to anything i tried to do. i used lolcat, but unfortunatly could not print it to txt. so anyway the log look something like:
I/PackageParser <1369>:Implicating adding android.permission.WRITE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE to old pkg [some package name]
I/PackageParser <1369>:Implicating adding android.permission.READ_PHONE_STATE to old pkg [some package name]
then it went on while doing this for all my apps.somewhere in between it read: D/dalvikvm <1369>:GC<0> freed XXX objects/ XXX bytes
then after a few minutes it rebooted itself.what the...?
2.a few days ago the comm stat went into no reception icon.when i went to MOBILE NETWORKS and tried to connect to my apn, the device did saw him, but after trying to connect i got a massege:the sim card is not allowed to connect to this network. this is not the case at all times, just sometimes and while being in the sameplace.
i tried reboot, NANDROID restore, wipe/ and then restore. nothing helped... it just fixes itself without seen reason. i checked my sim on another device and it's working o.k. again.....?
hope somebody managed to make it through all this text, and knows what's going on.....

1. is a known issue and reported in cyanogens issue tracker. I suggest you have a look in there and add a comment. the more the merrier..
thnx. i checked the bug tracker, and went through some log files.i could not find a report that looks like mine. i'm going to leave it alone for now cause in the past 3-4 days everything is good. i'm going to flash to 4.2.4, and hopefully evrything will stay that way.
just a quick qustion about the sim: is it likely to be a software bug? or rather an hardware prob?

How to Flash MOTOROLA DROID to Cricket: 2.2 Froyo FULL apps,web,mms

Flash Moto Droid to Cricket / Metro full apps, web,mms.
This is my attempt to recreate the solution from Howard Forums
i may have missed a few steps along the way but here it goes. as of 08/02/2010 - make directory now for 2.2 roms
FILES FOR FLASHING TO CRICKET (U2nl,PRL's,Autostart,SPRecovery,NV items)
Special thanks and credit should go to
SyZtyM (i recreated his thred for XDA)
gijoey1980
Tracphonejunkie
whiterabittorg
To0
Insaincain (For the nv items. You are a legend, and credit is due where credit is due**AS read from SyZtyM)
Admin (For all sites. PERIOD)
You will need:
1. CDMA WS 2.7 (google)
2.Harware Virtural Serial Port this is the demo good for 14days
3. Motorola A855 USB drivers (These are the 32bit Drivers)
4. Cyanogen Mod Rom from Rom Manager in market
5. SPRecovery
6&7.Autostart.sh & U2nl from whitrabbit.org (thanks to whiterabbit). Save autostart.sh and U2nl in C:\android\tools\.
8.download Autostart (Root) from Market
9. NV items from http://www.whiterabbit.org/android (u must generate this uniquely with you [email protected] i have included a generated [email protected] for sample or to replace x's with you MDN
Step 1. First step is to make sure you have the drivers installed on your computer, and you also need to have Android SDK installed on your computer.
You will need to root the phone, key here is to make sure the kernel you load supports iptables.
Step 2. if you need to ROOT: follow the guide
than download Rom manager over wifi from MARKET, proceed to flash clockwork and download and install cyanogen 5.xx rom, and google apps..wipe data etc.
Step 2.1 if first fails. get RSD Lite 4.6 (google), Power on phone holding down the up arrow and pressing power, this will put you into bootloader mode.
Open RSD Lite 4.6
Flash the SPRecovery_ESE81.sbf file with RSD Lite.
this should just flash the recovery if not download a rom like SMOKEDGLASS unzip and put in folder on SD named Nandroid
Once the phone is completely rebooted into rooted android, power it off.
alternately u can install BuglessBeast froyo v 02.1 from alldroid.org then skip to these steps below
Hold down “T” on the keypad and power on phone.
Plug into computer and open HW Virtual Serial Port (your drivers should install and connect etc)
In HWVS set the IP address to 192.168.16.2 and the port to 11008, choose the com port 10 click connect. (For this tutorial we will use COM10)
Open CDMA WS 2.7 and (go to settings tab and deselect NV Enabled) then connect to COM10. if you dont deselect you will get PHONE FAILED ERRORS
On security tab send SPC 000000. (msg says phone accepts blah blah blah
Go to tab labeled “Other” and write prl. For Cricket EVDO, 6499(new service plan) and 38515 is recommended.
Go to NAM and enter MIN ex. 615-555-5593 (usually different from your actual phone# and MDN(your mobile number ex. 615-555-5551 and click write.
Goto “Memory” tab and click write under NV items, find the downloaded NV items you got from here
for example you must generate the NV items by inputing your MDN([email protected]). box opens telling you to save them as .txt and select them with cdma 2.7. (Thanks again to insanecain)
It should then say, 12 NV items were successfully written to phone.
Go to Main tab and click mode reset.
You can now close HWVS and CDMA WS and open cmd.exe on your computer.
if you have QPST open it on the com port 10 read your settings. under MIP mip2,,PPP(Um,AN...etc it should say [email protected] etc in the right columns....in the bottom box password may need to be written to phone, just type in cricket for both Um and An, cricket is the password.
Also select mobile ip+simple ip under MiP tab
select write to phone
Once phone reboots go to the market using WI-FI and download and install Autostart root required
Open the Voice Dialer on the phone and say “Open APNs” and click open.
Click on the Verizon and edit everything to match below:
Name - Cricket
APN internet
Proxy wap.mycricket.com:8080
Port 8080
Username [email protected]
Password cricket
Server wap.mycricket.com
MMSC http://mms.mycricket.com/servlets/mms
MMS Proxy wap.mycricket.com
MMS Port 8080
MCC 310
MNC 004
Authentication Type PAP or CHAP
APN type <Not set>
Now click the menu button and click Save.
Before starting the next step make sure you have the u2nl file in your this folder c:/android/tools and also that you have you autostart.sh file in this folder c:/
Now go to command prompt and type the following commands,
cd c:\android\tools
adb shell
mkdir /data/opt/
exit
adb remount
adb push c:\android\tools\u2nl /system/bin/u2nl
adb push c:\android\tools\autostart.sh /data/opt/autostart.sh
Now:
adb shell
chmod 0755 /system/bin/u2nl
chmod 0755 /data/opt/autostart.sh
adb reboot
Now, once your phone has rebooted, you should have working web, mms, app, gps, and all. If you don’t go back and check all the steps to insure you did everything exactly right.
thanks everyone for reading.
i would also like to thank everyone who helped give back to the droid community by solving this, (I gave up and switched back to my eris for full support like a Beeach! which i bricked twice) im back on DROID baby

This is a great! Thank you for the instructions!
I am having one problum tho, and its very annyoing!!
When i first turn on my fone everything works internet+MMS+GPS+TXT+CALLS everything!
then when i recive or send a text or call (Anything that has to use 1X i think) I loose Internet+MMS and GPS
the only way it comes back is if i restart my fone!
dose anyone have any ideas? did i do somthing wrong? Please help.
I have a idea i know its possible on some phones to switch it so texts use 3G insted of 1x. Could i switch that on my droid?
Oh and im running bugless beast 2.2
good tutorial im just stuck at the step its written a little unclear im a moto newb unfortunately
""if you have QPST open it on the com port 10 read your settings. under MIP mip2,,PPP(Um,AN...etc it should say [email protected] etc in the right columns....in the bottom box password may need to be written to phone, just type in cricket for both Um and An, cricket is the password.
Also select mobile ip+simple ip under MiP tab

i have downloaded cdma 2.7, nothing was stated about qpst in the necessary tools but i downloaded that too afterwards, and its not clear where i should go at this point after the initial reboot. are these directions for cdma2.7 or qpst? help???
................... bump
Hello sorry in advanced for the newbie question. My Moto Droid is already flashed to cricket. If I wanted to manually install 2.2 would I have to start with all steps or just from the 2.2 install?

from my understanding, cdma networks calls and text dont go through data connections, so when u place a call it will switch only to bars and no 1x/3g.
MMS and web will only work when not connected to a call ( i think thats what your stating??) ive never had a problem with data connection not coming back to phone after a call.... hopefully i answered your questions? and gps shouldnt be bothered at all that may be a rom issue. try a few roms other that bugless beast thats basically a stock ROM look into lithium mod or Chevyno1

hello, lets see i believe this was originally the instructions to get the data working. so you needed QPST to enter in the passcode "cricket"....it just depends what rom you have. if you flash a rom and your data doesnt work then u will have to enter those settings in qpst. after entering those your data should work.

you should be fine with the NV items. after you flash 2.2 dial 611 (you may need to reflash PRL, and then from there i would give your phone about a 2minutes to see if any 1x/3g show up. if not commence with the instructions lol.

thanks for the reply, well i had all but given up on my droid dreams and i figured out on my own that they were QPST directions but were missing this important piece. QPST 2.7 WITH A OLDER BUILD LIKE 264 WILL NOT CONFIGURE THE DROID,IT GIVES AND ONLINE ERROR. YOU SHOULD USE AN UPDATED VERSION. I ENDED UP FINDING 2.7 BUILD 323.
Also. its unclear as to why in the adb commands we have
adb push c:\android\tools\autostart.sh /data/opt/autostart.sh
Now:
adb shell
it may be obvious to some but if Now: is an actual command it wouldnt work. so im assuming it isnt, and pretty much adb after that point is irreconcilable.
no matter what the droid never left the verizon network needless to say, and i havent recieved any input as to where i could have gone wrong, everything else was flawless up until the Now: part basically then i had to piece together adb. even tried without the now part and didnt succeed.
i did this and everything works. only problems is it 1x all the time; how to i get 3g?

[Q] How can I access again the setup Wizard?

Hello,
When we start for the first time the TF101 (after buying or flashing with a new rom after a wipe data), a setup wizard asks us for some options. In these options there is a choice for enabling 3G/Wifi or only Wifi.
I would like to know how to start again this setup wizard without wiping data!
How can I do?
Regards,
kasi
Why? Not trying to be rude, but anything you can do in setup wizard you can do already outside of that. I always delete setup.apk and setupwizard.apk from all my devices because the life of it is over after we use it initially.
because i would like to have the 3G option back ;-) And it's the only first time to have this choice.
so you tell that files are named setup.apk and setupwizard.apk ? But which one is the real file I need?
Are these files deleted after the first boot?
Those options are inside of Settings > Wireless & Networrks > Mobile Networks.
Nope.
These options were in my Settings but disapeared after Prime v1.6 update.
So to get back this Mobile Network option I have to wipe data and then restart my TF101. The setup wizard will ask me what I want to use and then I will have it.
But for the moment I lost it.
So I would like to start again the setup wizard without wiping my data.
I have the same problem, it seems that we have to go back to prime 1.5 via Nvflash for access to 3G/Wifi model. is there any way? restart to factory is not useful.

Indeed. I've tried, after backing up my app/data, to wipe data/factory reset and same thing.
This option is no more in Settings!
Yes of course we can do a nvflash with Prime 1.5 but.... I think there is another thing to do....

I delete those two files by hand with root explorer..they are NOT deleted after you run them. They are no good anyway after you use the setup wizard the first time. I don't have a clue what could be your problem since just use wifi only. I would start from the very beginning and put in a rooted stock rom. Sometimes trying to save data is not worth the hassle of trying to repair the problem.
Thx for your reply life64x.
I've already tried to restore, to flash again and even to wipe/data.
But even after wiping data/factory reset the setup wizard doesn't ask me anymore to choose between "3G and Wifi" or "Wifi only".
For the apk file (setupwizard), I found it and launched it. Installation seemed to be ok but can't find a shortcut neither in Apps nor in Settings. Not even in Listed Apps for uninstall.
I think there is something missing in the Prime v1.6
Try asking the Prime author is he removed those options?
O? You bought the 3G version?
I didn't know 3G model is available any where but Italy at the moment,
sorry if I misunderstood, but why else would you want to enable 3G on a wifi only device?

no, rightnow there is not any 3g model available anywhere. but, there was a setting in previous version of prime rom, If we would be able to active 3g/wifi in setup, we can use 3g usb modems(dongle).
I assume you have ADB already, then type this line: "adb shell am start -n com.google.android.setupwizard/.SetupWizardTestActivity"
:good:
Hmmm... question from 2011.... I found since.... ^^
Thx

Lenovo IdeaTab a2107

Hello everyone,
I bought this tablet on ebay and it seems that the ROM preinstalled is a test ROM.
I searched the web to find a custom ROM but I couldn't find much info.
I found the way to root the tablet but that's all.
Is there anyone who can indicate me a link to a stock rom or a good custom one?
Thanks for those who will read and help!
What do you mean by TEST ROM?!!! this is ridiculous, I have the tablet and it's working like a charm even I received over air update yesterday, the only odd is that I can't use it as a phone because Lenovo has no license yet for that it's available only in the Chinese version, and I think this will be solved later when they start launching their mobile phones all over the world.
Hello mmis,
Test rom is not the correct terms but I didn't know how to call that !
The problem is that every widget I put on the desktop is loading but never display anything.
The information in "About tablet" are the following :
Model number : IdeaTab A2107A-H
Android Version : 4.0.3
Baseband version : MAUI.11AMD.W11.50.SP.V13, 2012/05/25 01:09
Build number : A2107A-H_S307_120605
If I search for system updates, it doesn't find anything. If I click on firmware update, the settings FC.
I made a factory reset but no luck.
That's why I thought it wasn't a stable version.
As long as you tried the factory reset with no luck, I think in your case its better to get back to Lenovo customer service or your local dealer if it's under warranty, they should be able to help you. it's a new device in the market and it will be difficult to find custom ROM for a while or even someone to give model-specific help. Good Luck
Would you mind linking to the instructions on how to root this thing?
Sure, no problem !
After several hours of search and difficulties to register onto Chinese websites
I managed to find the attached file. I take no credit for the tool because it was developped by someone else (SNARL I guess)
It was missing the superuser apk inside so I put it back and also translate the steps to English.
Here are the steps :
- Connect the tablet in Debug USB mode
- Launch root.bat
- The device will reboot at each of the 3 steps
If you need more info, don't mind to ask!
Here is the link of the original thread :

Fantastic, thank you very much.
LePad Chinese Model A2107A-H
I have a Chinese issue model of the A2107A-H that has the dual sim card cellular feature. I've been trying to get it rooted to get rid of the Chinese apks on it, but normal rooting software has not been successful so far, including the one posted here from SNARL via Ichi go's post. I get a "device not found" error message and in device manager on my PC it indicates that there is no driver installed for the device. I have "debug" turned on and the USB link seems to be working as I can see file folders on the device, but the rooting software will not run. I've tried several of the most well known methods with no luck. Any ideas on this would be appreciated and in particular, if there is a driver I need to have installed to get the rooting software to work??
TIA!!!
Rob
First of all many thanks to you ichi go it was very easy to root this device as instructed, but as the one I have does not have the phone calling capability, I replaced the phone.apk with different one but now the device does not recognize the sim card at all, I tried to push many versions of phone.apk to system folder with no luck, it seems even if I put the apk in the system folder the device will not launch it at all, could you please help me in that.
I've had this tablet for a while and love it. I just got the OTA update and its downloading now.
I'm a also keen on rooting it and inns installing a custom ROM. I guess once its a bit more common, we can expect a dedicated Dev community here on XDA
The update failed to install. I'm not rooted or anything but upon restart it gave a signature verification error.
Any way to fix this?
Edit: got it! was a path error since i had changed the default storage.
but i can't figure out any changes

How does your device appear in the device manager? For sure, the adb driver isn't installed. If it's not the case, download android sdk and then the Google USB driver in the extra section.

FM Tuner - perfect for in-dash?
The in-dash car tablet people should be happy to hear the A2107 has an FM Tuner. It's one of the few tablets that has a radio tuner, and the only modern 7" that I know of. I just ordered one. I will report back.
The Chinese stock rom I installed has the phone ability and that works very well! The problem of this stock rom is that the Google services aren't there. I'm trying to find a way to install the zip file but I need to know the exact path of the recovery partition.
I tried to find it with the cat /proc/emmc command but this partition isn't listed.
If anyone has an idea...

So I understood that you managed to flash the Chinese stock ROM, am I right?!! please tell me how to do as I am facing serious problems with my device, I managed to root and then I changed the phone.apk (what the hell I was thinking of) and now I have the the error message android.process.acore stopped working and sometimes the sittings force closed, I tried to re root, factory reset and deleting cache of almost everything with no use, even I contacted the Lenovo CS to reinstall the original firmware, I think they will charge me for that :crying:
by the way I don't have contacts anymore (I installed it manually) and the most impressive thing that the device doesn't recognize the SIM card (I cleverly deleted the original one phone.apk :silly and what ever apk I push into the system/app folder and change the permissions it will not install after reboot.
So...what do you think guys?!! any help?
I've confirmed this does work on the A2107-F.
I had some trouble with the ADB driver. I can't post links, so you will have to google it, but I used adb_driver_20110720.zip for the drivers. I forced it to install via Update Driver > Browse my computer > let me pick > have disk > pointed to the android_winusb.inf file > selected the thinkpad option, it was the bottom of the two.
I also had to manually turn the tablet back on after the first reboot, but it went fine after that.

Umer... have you tried installing an alternative launcher from the market or downloading it manually and putting on SD card then installing it, seeing that you have no wifi.
For the other problems... if installing another launcher won't work, try to do a recovery by using that LG recovery tool, which you can download on your PC by accessing LG site of your country.
go
