[Q] Force Close Issue After Going Back to GB from ICS - Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)

Ever since I switched back to GB from ICS (had to, needed WiFi Calling) every GB rom I install has a bunch of problems. Yes, I followed the directions for going from ICS back to GB to the T and at first didn't have any problems. And yes, when I install a GB rom, I follow the dev's instructions to the T. So, it's not that. But anyway, the problems I'm having are:
Phone automatically reboots for no reason sometimes
After phone resets itself, I power it back on and the battery drops to around 1% (when before it reset itself I could be on a full charge, or close to it)
I get many, many "Force Close" popups for different apps and system processes (ex. "The application Google Services Framework (process.com.process.google.process.gapps) has stopped unexpectedly" and when I go to open SMS I get, "The application Messaging (process.com.android.mms) has stopped unexpectedly." And many other "Force Close" messages, GMail, etc.
Camera will not open
I've tried different GB roms (octane, vahalla -the different versions) so it's not just one rom.
I've tried fixing permissions, wiping dalvik cache, rebooting and other little things. I'm definitely stuck.
Again the problems started after going back to GB from ICS.
*Any help would really, really be appreciated!! :good:

What method did you use to go back to GB?

Man, it was so confusing getting it back to GB and it was a little while ago so I'm not positive but I think it was http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1333423
That's what I was just thinking actually, do u think I should just try to flash back to stock using another method?

Follow this method instead

Cool, thanks man, I'll give it a try. I'm tired as hell right now, so I probably won't get to it tonight, but I'll give it a shot tomorrow sometime and I'll let u know how it went. Thanks again.

Sounds like a battery issue. Does any of this stuff happen while it's plugged into USB?

Might be but the method he used was for the old Gingerbread, not the latest Gingerbread.

True, true

Don't restore the data for apps you backed up

This same scenario has happened to other people and so far they were battery issues. When you think about, all the battery problems make sense since most of the phone are nearing the 2 year old mark. If you were a heavy user in that time and charged your battery frequently then more than. Likely you have a dead cell in the battery. I went through all of the troubleshooting when I was having the exact same problem and never even thought about the battery until I did a battery pull and just so happened to sit the battery on a table and wobbled. So I inserted the battery from my wife's vibrant in and the problem went away.

About had it with this phone

I bought my Captivate on 12/13. For the first 3 weeks I had it I had almost no problems with it (other than the usual GPS issues). About 3 weeks ago I rooted (1-click Root), installed the 1-click decripple, SGS Tools, Titanium Backup and OCLF and removed some of the bloatware, but stayed with the stock ROM. Got some noticeable improvement as far as Quadrant benchmarks, but about a week after I did all that the phone started freaking out. I had my first of 2 unexplained shutdowns. Simple things, like receiving calls, would lock the phone up. Then I started having force closes when I tried to use a speed dial. The past week the battery has been doing strange things like losing 60% charge over 4-5 hours without using the phone for anything. It will somehow go back to normal and work fine for 4-5 days. Today, the force closes and lockups started anew. Again, an incoming call locked the device. I didn't even know it for 3 hours when I turned it on and the clock was over 3 hours behind and the screen wouldn't take any input beyond unlocking. Reboot and later I tried to speed dial and back into force close loop. Reboot...still does it. Tried to bring up my contacts and get a black screen, eventually leading to getting kicked back to the Home screen. Obviously, the contacts issue is related to the speed dial issue, which is probably related to the incoming call issue since they all are tied together. But what could be the problem? I am so frustrated I'm ready to hurl this thing at a wall. I uninstalled OCLF and am considering an Odin flash to stock. Seems like the phone is really flaky when it has a full of >90% charge. Any clues?
I would start with olcf. The lag fix it used its not recommended and may be causing data corruption
I have said it plenty of times before, and I will continue to preach....I recommend flashing back to stock and master clear to troubleshoot. That will give you assurance that you will start on a fresh clean slate, as far as bugs/data corruption/bad configurations. Obviously you will want to back up all of your data first. After you flash back and master clear, don't do anything else to it other than installing regular apps from the market to see how it runs. If it continues to act up, then you know you have hardware issues. If it fixes it, then you know you had something going on with your config or data corruption.
Whats your build number? If it is one of the 1007 builds then you may be able to get a warranty exchange for the reboots.
Getting noticeable improvement as far as Quadrant benchmarks go doesn't always = better
Here's the really odd thing, pulling the battery and rebooting seems to clear the issue for a few days. A plain reboot won't. I alternate between 2 batteries, both OEM. I've never cleared the battery stats. Could it be an issue with one or both batteries? It always seems to happen shortly after taking the phone off the charger.
If you haven't already, you can try recalibrating your battery. But the route I would take is flashing back to stock using odin one click. It doesn't take very long and it will rule out alot of things

Yup...I agree...and I would start with a 100% clean slate..and not use any data from any previous time..Flash a good kernel..a good modem..apply the gps fix of your choice..and enjoy..Trying to use parts of a stock rom..is self defeating...wither or not you get uber high benchmarks or not...You may want to stay with some type of stock build..but you IMHO your better off going with a I9000 rom/kernel/modem...Anything that is even close to stock AT&T is junk as far as I know.

As soon as I have a few hours to spend redoing all my data, apps and info, I think that's what I'll do. I already downloaded the 1-click Odin OEM ROM. After flashing Odin do I have to redo the JH7 OTA update?

What if there's something wrong with an app I installed that is causing the problem? Wouldn't reinstalling my apps with TB just bring that problem back?

It really doesn't even take a few hours to back up and restore. I have an 8gb external sd card full of music, photos and videos and over 200 apps stored internally and it takes me 10-15 mins if that using titanium backup pro for apps . You don't have to restore jh7 but it might be a good idea to do so if that's what your phone had out of the box.

Typically restoring normal apps you get from the market will not cause you grief. But what can cause you grief is backing up and restoring mods, system data, configuration data etc. The goal is to create a totally unhacked unmodded totally stock experience to isolate and possibly identify what could be causing problems

and OCLF.... dont forget that OCLF causes PAIN!
I need my phone tomorrow for work, so I'll settle for just uninstalling OCLF for now. Maybe Friday or Saturday I can sit down and "go back." I don't remember if the phone had JH7 or if I updated it OTA when I first got it, but that's what it has been running almost since day 1. Is there an Odin for JH7?
No there isn't but heres a thread on how to install it...
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=790080&page=20
You will need to download jh7_ota.zip.
Basically, after you flash back to stock, you have to install clockworkmod recovery, place the zip file on your internal memory, boot into clockworkmod recovery and choose to install the zip file. I actually did this the other day to see if it actually works, because my phone came with jh7 out of the box.
PS...if you kept the box your phone came with, it will show near the barcodes if your phone came with JH7 or JF6
Box says JF6, so I must have upgraded it. Don't remember doing it, though. What's wrong with just using the Odin for JF6 and letting the phone do the OTA for JH7?
One click lag fix sucks.

Random reboots and phone app crashes on stock gingerbread

My wife's galaxy s 4g, reboots all the time by itself. We'll be eating dinner and hear it reboot itself in the other room. Also her phone app crashes all the time when she tries to make a call.
We complained to tmobile, they replaced it with a refurbished unit, loaded with the latest gingerbread update. Has all the same problems, and the only thing they'll do is replace it with another unit.
Since it happened to two different units, I have to believe it's an issue with the stock software, either kernel, rom or radio. Does anybody have a fix?
Is there a combo or kernel/rom/radio that is highly recommended? I don't mind rooting but would like to keep it as close to stock as possible, she wont like change.
There are custom ROMS and alternative radios that you can flash, but if you are having these problems with stock then I'd be hesitant to say they will go away with a different ROM or Radio. I would go for the 3rd T-Mo replacement....the refurb units are pot luck. I had a warranty replacement a few months back and it took two phones before I got one that worked properly.

Try the 1-Click Gremlin Remover in my signature. It will give you an older stock GB (2.3.5), custom pre-rooted kernel, and clear out any issues. It takes a while to download, but it works quite well. It is fully bloated, with all the bells and whistles that comes stock on our phones.
After that, you can dl kies mini and try the update yourself. But I would suggest instlling one of brian's (bhundven) kernel to maintain root (also found in my signature).
That should fix her up and maintain stock. Or, if you can convince her, try vahalla black or erik's new ROM Seet Child of Mine.

I'm wondering if it's not a problem with an app she has installed. Has she tried running it without installing any apps to see if the problem persists? Maybe perform a factory data reset (make sure you backup anything she wants to keep) and run it without installing any apps for a day or so to see if it works ok. If so, then start installing apps one at a time. Let each app run a day or so before installing the next. It's a pain but it may narrow down the issue.
Thanks for the replies. I'll try downgrading.
She doesn't use many apps, she has beautiful widgets, draw something, and maybe a couple others like facebook, etc - basically only the super popular ones.

I used beautiful widgets on my old phone, it would reboot when clicked on after a bit of up time. IIRC it was a known bug and should have been fixed by now.
I would try what stephen suggests as long as you still have time on the warranty to exchange.
My wife's stock does the same thing. Before and after the GB Kies update. It may be samsung problem. Kinda like the random reboots we are getting on the custom roms. I wonder if they could be related.

Reboots/missing apps probs in general

MY wifes sgs 4g is having really wierd reboot issues. i Used to have this phone and never had probs with val black but i left the val black on my wifes phone and its been just rebooting a lot. i went ahead and did fb ext4 starter again and also ran into the same issues with val blackFB251, icbinb and unnamed. Stayed with valblackFB and FC reboot the phone shows 1% battery (after charging all nite) after a reboot it will return to normal. getting FC's on email ,titanium and others on start up. when it does run wthout FC's apps disappear. I havent had MY 4g in a while but i never ran into issues like this and was wondering if anything crazy different has happened in the last 3 months that would cause these issues.
Currently phone is running Valblack FB and running basic with a twist 1.1.3 blue cwm. Same issues. And i have tried teh heimdall one click and fbext4 starter guide and no change. I appreciate any help or suggestions have ran through the forums and found similar posts but nothing in those posts have helped to solve the prob.
Try the steps in the Gremlin Remover thread. It has helped several people.
Tried one click gremlin remover including wiping sd and callibrating battery i didnt flash a custom rather just using the stock that comes in the one click and still experiencing same issues. Reboot when using browser then shows battery at 1% and now weve noticed the voice volume is very low now. I think the volume is a stock rom issue but the rest are same issues as before. Going to just flash back to stock and take it in if theres no other options or ideas as to what the problem could be.
Man, that's really weird stuff. Outside of performing a hard reset on the phone (I used GPS AIDS for this, but I'm sure there are other ways) I'd one-click it back to stock and take it back to the store. Might be buggy hardware.
SD card may be going bad. Try backing up all data from it and reformat.

Strange Issues with my Infuse

I've never had any major problems with my Infuse since I got it.
The battery is getting weaker but I bought a 2600Mah USB Backup Battery and that gives me another 7-8 hours for about 13-14 hours of use.
To make a long story short, I unlocked for use in Mexico City on TelCel and had some issues, so I returned the phone back to stock, unrooted.
Since that point however, while it would occasionally freeze before, its become a daily thing now and really bothersome because I can't even stop audio from playing via bluetooth. The touch screen becomes unresponsive and only a soft reboot or a hard reboot (removing the battery) returns the phone to a useful state.
It seems I have to do is every couple of hours now though, so I am posting here to get some suggestion on how to fix it.
Its been two years already since I got it so I am eligible for a new phone, but this one continues to work well besides this issue.
Thanks

1. your microSD may be going bad
2. if you haven't done so, back up all your stuff and try a factory reset...this may erase all existing info and bring the phone back to day#1

I mentioned that in the post, I did it while in Mexico City. It worked fine until this week, late last week. The battery only gives me about 5 hours now with just 32% audio playback and about 10% web access.
I guess I'll order a Anker battery from Amazon.
I rooted the phone again last night but before I did that, the phone became unresponsive three times in an hour. Which microSD card are you talking about? I just bought a 32GB Class 6 card and that works fine, I play all my audio from it, no problems.
If you mean the internal microSD card, that could be possible. I assume I can crack open the phone and replace this easily?
I should mention it never does that while plugged into a power source, so maybe this is all battery related.
Possible Fix...
When I had to hard reboot the phone again this afternoon, a little forced closed window came up for TwLauncher.
After rebooting the phone I looking at Titanium Backup and cleared the cashe from TwLauncher and that seems to have solved the problem.
Somebody on here mentioned that after installing a ROM they had the same problem, was worth a try.
I will report back if the issue returns.

My personal beliefs are that TB is good for causing a lot of problems.I used to use it,even bought pro,but even not restoring data when restoring apps I seamed to develop odd quirks or problems on about any ROM. Since not using it have much fewer problems.I am sure many people love it and think it's great, just thought I would give my $0.02
if your battery holds a charge...that is, it's letting you run the phone for more than several hours, it's unlikely to be the battery.
lags are usually due to apps misbehaving, media scan, wakelocks and wifi bugs...there are some others.
a factory reset ...complete reset..complete stock..will let you know if you have hardware of software issues.

Thus far, that issue has not returned. Yes the battery holds a charge, but last only about 5-6 hours now, not 7-8 hours.
It seems it was a minor software issue. I did a factory reset, you keep missing that.
I did it in Mexico City (7 days ago).... Since that point and returning to the US, I have put my apps back on the phone. I had already updated to Gingerbread and it just reset to that.
I won't know more until I am out and about with my phone. I will be watching various auto racing events and don't plan on leaving the house this weekend.

No problem, I've never had a problem with TB. I updated the rom to a rooted version of the AT&T Gingerbread release so I could even use it... lol
The phone was rooted for Froyo, I downloaded the AT&T Gingerbread from Samsung via Kies when it was released and it remained rooted.
But resetting it back to stock, TB didn't work until I put the rooted rom on the phone.

Exactly...you had to use TB or another restore. If you used TB on froyo and restored on GB or vice versa, you may run into issues.
and ...sigh... I did not miss the fact that you stated that you had reset the phone. I just had doubts that you understood what I was trying to say...from inside the phone..under settings/privacy..there is a reset option. make sure everything you wanted is already backed up. reset it..then put it into download mode and use one of the odin or heimdall package and flash it back to complete stock...run it stock and dont back up anything. download only apps from the play store or side load the apps if you had the apk's.
check the battery use to see if you have wake locks or android OS or android system eating up for battery..then you will know

Well like this, I will not go into the details but somebody else put Swipe Lock on the phone and of course I didn't know what he put into the phone. I was trying to resolve data issue on TelCel.
I had to do a hard reset outside of the operating system. Since the ROM was already upgraded to Gingerbread but unrooted, it went back to its unrooted state meaning I couldn't use TB.
So I re-downloaded apps from my memory. All of them are free so it wasn't an issue, just time consuming.

See above.
I used download mode to get out of Swipe Lock. I never used Swipe Lock, a-hole wanted to charge me 120 pesos ($7) to wipe it and put it back to stock, I wasn't going to do it, I know enough about Android phones to do it myself.
Oh well, lesson learned, I believe wiping the cashe from TwLauncher has solved the problem.
I did re-install all the apps from the store. I wasn't able to use TB until Thurs night (5/16). I noticed the errors Friday afternoon, wipe the cashe and no issues since.

Atrix 2 - Official ICS - running very very slow these days - Help!

Hello Guys!
I own an Atrix 2 and am currently on Official ICS. My phone was working fine all along.
Recently I've noticed that the phone runs extremely slow many times. I have to power off & on many times a day to keep it functioning properly.
It is mostly sluggish these days and I don't understand why. I tried uninstalling recently installed apps but, nothing seems to be helping.
This is my first Android phone and am lost!
Any help would be appreciated.
Thx.

IF you think you phone is giving poor performance on official ICS then why don't you try custom roms . Read/Research on MIUI and I think you will get best performance. BUT READ TILL YOU UNDERSTAND EVERY ABOUT COUSTOM ROMS.

Hi,
What you are saying may be correct however, the same phone was performing superbly on Official ICS for around 6 months. It's been a few weeks that the phone has become sluggish.
I need to find out the root cause for this and rectify that.

You could try wipe cache...
Turn off the phone and then press and hold at the same time: the Power button, Vol up and Down Key until the bootloader screen comes up
Volume down to recovery and than hit Volume up to select
When the Android with the the Red Triangle appears push the vol up and down button together
Scroll to clear cache partition and push the power button
Wait for it to clear and than choose reboot once complete by pushing the power button.
It might be some rogue app.. Try uninstalling any app you installed recently.. Worst case, backup all apps and data, try a factory reset.. After that, restore only the apps you really need.. One by one when you get time and find out what was causing the problem..

Try downloading a Cache Cleaner like https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.jrummy.cache.cleaner. You could also make a titanium backup of all your apps and do a factory reset.
You might also try and do a FXZ and start over. It seems odd, sometimes that fixes all of the little oddities that pop up including slowness that shows up out of nowhere.
I faced the same problem a month ago. Opening Messages, Settings, EVEN PICKING CALLS, took 7-15 secs.
Turned out it was Android OS/ the Kernel. Whenever the WiFi status changed and some other reasons, the Android OS seemed to take 100% CPU usage for about 1-3 min. Also sometimes I had other processes such as kworker2, kworker3 and others. It took me many apps such as Watchdog, Systempanel, etc to find it out.
Even still I got tired and did a Factory Reset, Rooted it and installed Another ROM. Now its Working fine.
My suggestion would be a Factory Reset (Dont forget Backup if you need to). :good:
Tried the clear Cache Thing as well as uninstalled most of the apps which I never use. Phone started functioning good for some time.
But, now again the same thing.
Thinking about FXZ now. What is FXZ and how do you do it?
Factory reset I can consider but, does it really help?
I notice that the sluggishness starts when WIFI is on and the phone is connected to my home WIFI.

Go to your wireless settings and "Forget" the home wifi connection. Reboot your router and phone, then sign back in to your WIFI.
If you are thinking about FXZ, then you might as well try the FDR first.

If you decide to go the FXZ route, please ask and confirm which firmware to use with your Atrix2. Many BRICKED their phones flashing the WRONG FXZ!

slow atrix2 - email trash folder
I was having the same issue - tried wiping the cache (both via the system and with various cache wiping apps). Eventually I would get a slow atrix2 again. I noticed that the trash folder for my pop3 email accounts did not clean itself up, so I did a select all and deleted the messages from the trash folder. This was thousands of trash emails. Three days later and my atrix2 is still snappy. I'm hopeful that this was the issue.
