ok i have a samsung captivate i987.
i bought it already rooted running cyanogenmod and miui. this was 6months ago.
the phone has worked a treat since then, its perfect.
but 2 days ago all of a sudden its been forcing close on nearly everything - facebook, browser/internet, hotmail, google, even sms.
i have no idea what's causing the problem or why i why its happening. i havent installed any new apps recently
and i have done no other rooting or anything with the phone since i got it. since its not even the newest version i assumed it was stable or at least it has been for the past 6 months so i dont get why it would suddenly change.
also when it forces close i have the option to report it but i cant complete the action as it asks me to use gmail or bluetooth. usually there is another option and its easy to send right away without having to input a destination address.
if it helps i'm running android version 2.3.7
can anyone help identfy the problem? and help me to fix it?
this phone is great and i really dont want to have to chuck it.

The most likely issue is the fact that it is running a dual boot and your SD card is messing up. I never advise dual booting as things like this can happen. I would reflash a stock rom. Then go from there. Also might find more help in the captivate section.

Dear All.
My samsung galaxy s2 skyrocket had been working with ParanoidAndorid (v 2.55) for 2 months without problems, but since a week ago I couldn't place regular calls. I can dial the numbers and receive calls, but in neither case I can hear any sound. The rest of the functions work just fine (youtube, chrome, etc). After checking for sound configurations, such as noise reduction, the problem persisted. I have to say that the problem goes away after rebooting the system, but is happens again at random times. I've change to Cyanogenmod 10, but the situation holds.
I noted that two apps seems to be producing this problem: Viber and Line. Immediately after I receive a Viber/Line call the problem arises. This is strange as I've been using Viber from the beginning, but the problem has been happening only from last week.
I would appreciate any suggestions. Thanks in advance
Contact the app DEV and provide him some logs. It's not the phone from what you're describing.

I'll try using the phone without Viber/Line for a couples of days just to be sure that is a app-driven problem. Given the popularity of these apps, I would be surprised if this is only happening to me.
Did the app update recently? I'd unistall it then clear caches and reboot. If the problem goes away it's the app.
Hi @MarceloR -
I am a rep. of Viber here on XDA.
Thanks for sharing the details of the problem.
First, please note that Viber does not officially support your device, s2 skyrocket (here is the full list of fully compatible devices: http://bit.ly/Hm5k9p). Furthermore, we (Viber) don't claim to fully support devices with Custom ROMs, since it is impossible for us to adapt our app with all of the Custom ROMs out there.
Both these issues may be the sorurce of the problem you're experiencing. Have you tested this issue on Stock ROM on your device? (though it's not fully supported).
Having said that, the problem still sounds odd - Viber should not affect your ability to use your phone for regular calls.
Same problem, different software
I'm having the same issue - no mic, no sound on phone calls. I do not have either of the above-mentioned apps installed. I'm running CM10.1, though (Rogers). Tried installing the CLI3 modem, and the stock Rogers modems to see if that might help.
I did notice that the ear speaker was getting quite hot when I tried to use the phone, and the phone app itself is performing tremendously slow.
If anyone has thoughts / suggestions about how to fix this, I'd really appreciate it.
It's a common issue and has nothing to do with Viber, i've never used it personally.
This has happened to me on all kinds of roms stock, custom and AOSP.
Usually, when it happens, it happens after or while i am running an app that uses audio. Like any video / audio player and games.
It's not that big of a bother since it doesn't happen too often, but just embarassing.. when you've payed some $300+ for a phone and it doesn't even make phone calls lol. Might as well have bought one for $20 that does.
My point is i want to know a reason or explanation for this if someone can offer one.
Update: pulled SIM card, battery. Reboot, shut down, insert SIM card. Everything works again. Using the same 3/3 nightly. No other changes.

I circumvented this problem by installing an old version of viber (one from Dec 2012). I found the old version here: http://www.androiddrawer.com/
So far, no problems. Everything seems to be back to normal.
So this is my first samsung (S6 Edge 64) since the moment (which was an absolutely terrible phone and i vowed to never go samsung again) Ive been with HTC ever since the OG EVO. I was very excited to get the s6 mainly for QI and fingerprint scanner.
Well my problem is im having nothing but issues with this damn thing. MMS messages wont download unless i force stop play services and hangouts and clear cache then reboot. Also i dont get any of my push notifications like i should. With my m7 as soon as i use my gwallet card my phone would go off with the push notif. now i can use the card and ill be lucky if i get a notification ever. My google opinion rewards never show up, emails dont come in until i open the app and manually refresh. In general everything that makes this a worthy smartphone is failing, what good is it to have always connected internet if i dont get my notifications how im supposed to. Its almost as if data just stops working until i force it to work. Along with that data apps will take forever to load most of the time and i have to reboot to fix it. This is also evident when i try to open gwallet to add some funds to my card, the app will open and i put in my pin and it just sits there waiting to log in. The other day i was in line at the store and it took me 10 minutes of F^#&!ng around with gwallet to get it to finally log in correctly and let me add funds. At that point I felt like smashing the POS on the ground. Again I open up the m7 and click gwallet and BAM it opens up instantly with ZERO FU#KING ISSUES
Also the wireless charger on both my gf and my phone dont keep the phone topped off, we will wake up and the phone only be at 80-90% charge.
Also the Night clock on the edge lights up the whole damn screen, WTF is that all about, was that really not noticed in QA testing???
I have turned off connections optimizer since its garbage software, i made sure everything i want to sync is set so and ive checked all the settings multiple times (again no one should have to jump through all these hoops to get the phone working how its supposed to out of the box)
Ive cleared all google services cache and wiped dalvik six times in recovery. When i got the phone i skipped setup and downloaded the OTA, let that install then did a factory reset and then finally i set my phone up. Still have the issues.
My gf phone (regular s6 32) is also having mostly similar issues and she just jumped ship from the iphone 5. Her facebook almost never loads correctly, unless she is on wifi which is a slower connection by far (home wifi is aprox 8mbps and her cellular data in the same spot is aprox 15-20mbps)
This is NOT how a $1k phone should act. Its not an issue with google either as i can turn my m7 back on and connect it to wifi and everything works perfectly. All notifications populate instantly how it should.
One thing Apple does get right is the stuff usually just works and works well. Im an experienced tech guru and even im having these problems, If someone like me has these issues i can only understand how someone might feel coming from an iphone or something else.
All in all I know not everyone is having these problems (or at least all of them) but its really upsetting me and again samsung is putting a terrible taste in my mouth.
This is the end of my rant for now, im sure ive forgotten some of the issues ive had so far but ill leave the book as it is now. Anyone else getting extremely frustrated with this phone that costs way to much to be having these problems with!!
I called sprint about the data not syncing known issue they said latest software has issues to wait for an update from samsung have to use wifi to sync gmail and same if you use facebook prolly same thing with wallet i dont use it so not sure playstore and internet browser work on lte dont use mms much will have to test that today

Does your auto rotate at least work? If so, consider yourself lucky.
The night clock thing seems to be a software issue but Samsung support is clueless about it.
I've got the same issue as you my friend. This just starting happening to me. I will not get any notifications at work. ZERO. No email notifications, groupme, twitter nothing! I have called sprint and they just tell me to update PRL and Profile. Most of the time that works but I shouldn't have to do this. It has to be something about Spark switching off to LTE and 3g making you lose your profile on the network. I have go as far as switching my preferred network to LTE/CDMA instead of Auto and DATA roaming is set to HOME only. I'm hoping this fixes the issue for now until Sprint and Samsung can get this worked out. I am 95% sure this is a Samsung issue. My note 2 and Nexus 6 never had this issue.

Why was the update pushed out if it has known issues is what i want to know, if so many ppl are having this same problem surely it reared its ugly head somewhere along the road of certification? Thats not really acceptable to tell us we have to use wifi in order to use the phone correctly smh

I do have working auto rotate, and your right about night clock being a software issue, what upsets me is samsung is clueless about it? Again all the testing that goes on i cant believe no one noticed it before a major multinational launch. It works fine in the news feed but not the night clock that seems crazy to me.

This is definitely a samsung problem, as there are many other spark phones in the wild that have no issues receiving notifications or dealing with slow (dormant) data. I havent looked but is sprint the only one that is having these data issues, i wonder if it has something to do with that bullsh!t connections optimizer more than the towers handing off. That has got to be the most worthless software they have ever forced on us, the absolute first thing i do on any sprint phone is disable that malware. Except for my whole family has LG G3 and no matter how many times you uncheck that connections optimizer it just turns itself back on, GARBAGE
I completely agree about that garbage Sprint optimization app. I've turned that crap off. I've also changed my network preferences to see if that helps. I've gone to home and CDMA/LTE
You guys think that if we wait to see if Sprint can fix this problem that we will still be able to return our phones after the 14 day period if the problem isn't fixed? Because a lot of people on only Sprint have been having this issue. Everyone else on other carriers is enjoying their new Galaxy S6. Has anyone contacted Samsung about the return policy?

I have no idea about Samsung's return policy. Seeing that other cell services are not having this issue I am more sure now it's a issue with Sprint's signal and
Samsung's Cell radio's not playing together nicely. I can see that my download and upload speeds are working fine. It's when the signal goes dormant that
I miss notifications and emails. Which leads me to believe that this can be fixed via a software update. If it was a major issue with the phone every cell customer
would have it. I did see on the sprint website that Samsung and Sprint have acknowledge the problem and are working together. Let's hope an update is sent soon.

My sprint store said to call Samsung. I've had my phone for 18 days. If you're within 14 it's worth a try. Since they won't exchange I'm stuck with a phone where the screen doesn't rotate. It's very frustrating.

Just wanted to update you guys. After talking to Samsung and Sprint on the phone, I was finally able to get a sprint phone rep to notate my account to do an in store exchange even though I was out of the 14 days. So, give that a shot maybe. So far this phone only has the night clock issue. Going to stop using the fast charger in the meantime though.
I've been on 3g for a while now due to this issue, do you guys think if I switch to LTE/CDMA and roaming to homez it'll also work fine?
Im going on my 3rd phone. The first one was the rotation issue, second one my speaker stopped working on calls. Other end could not hear me.
So since I've posted this my push notifications have been better but i still have plenty of the other issues.
I wonder if gplay services have helped any
Great Phone
I haven't had a single issue with my phone...only thing it my be to fast....I just think people who came from iphone can't think outside the box. This is the phone i have been waiting for next update should fix any issues you guys are have. good luck and iphone user should go back to that simple tiny phone..

Replaced: 8-1-15? Camera issue
Replaced: 10-15-15? Touch issue
Replaced : 11-16-15 touch issue
Samsung Galaxy S6 5.1.1 key strokes randomly not registering
The phones ive tested so far have all been the following model so i dont know if it affects different phones. Please post if your phone is affected.
Samsung Galaxy S6 (Verizon)
Model: SM-G920V
Andriod version: 5.1.1
I am on my 3rd replacement phone now because of this issue and just figured out why it is happening. everytime i get a replacement and update it from 5.0.2 to 5.1.1 is starts missing key strokes.. My current replacement i purposely didnt update and it works absolutely perfectly. I have tested 4 phones now and all of them have the same exact issue. I believe the reason most people dont realize it is because of word prediction. most of the time Word Prediction will put the correct word in even tho it misses keystroke. My brother has an s6 and he didnt even realize it till i had him test it like i tested mine. I did notice it tho and got really annoyed by it and started returning phones until i realized that they all had the same issue.. Worked perfectly on 5.0.2, but as soon as i updated to 5.1.1 they started missing keystrokes.
This is how i tested and proofed to Verizon that my phone was not working right:
disable "word prediction" in the samsung keyboard settings.
in the texting app type the first row of keys and press enter repeatedly so it looks like this:
qwertyuiop
qwertyuiop
qwertyuiop
qwertyuiop
repeat about 10 to 20 times. If your phone has the same issues as all my replacements you should see missed keys 2 to 5 times in your repeated words
Example:
qwertyuiop
qwetyuiop (missed the r)
qwertyuiop
qwertuiop (missed the y)
qwertyuiop
qwertyuiop
wertyuip (missed the q and o)
qwertyuiop
Cant wait to see what everyone comes up with! Lets get this to samsung asap for a fix!
My keyboard misses presses and is generally laggy all of the time. The same is true for third party keyboards as well.
I don't blame the touch response though, I just blame the laggy and slow S6. I have to reboot this thing once a slay if I want it to behave.
And yes I have tried fresh instslls, avoiding known problematic apps, and so on.
This thing has been a huge disappointment.
all my replacements were fast and perfect until I updated to 5.1.1. so if u have always had ur issues even before the update then it just might be something else with ur phone. do u know if it was working good before 5.1.1?

Obviously some people may choose took apps like Facbook and instagram. Those are battery and performance killing apps. Anything that does any sort of push notification is running all the time and will drain battery and take away cpu cycles.
Disabling all of those apps is almost equal to having my own Custom ROM installed.
But back on topic... I have no issues with my touchscreen. This was an original device about 2 weeks after release.
Having a similar problem
Got 3 S6s for the family during the rebate sale. So far two of them have developed bad touch sensitivity. It took about a week to show up. It is worse on my wife's phone and that is not good.
When I did a hard reset and restarted it was good until somewhere near the end of updating. Maybe it was the Verizon upgrade, I don't know...
I know it shouldn't make a difference but increasing Pointer Speed to maximum increased the responsiveness of my phone keypad (but not the text keyboard). Up until that change, the dialer was barely useable. I also switched to SwiftKey and disabled (hide is the correct term) the Samsung Keyboard and that seemed to help. What makes this difficult is that it is inconsistent. I wonder if my fingers are too cold in the morning...
on the same one i got in may. never had this issue.
I honestly miss my s5 I think my s6 sucks, slow laggy battery hogging crap,can't figure why they took away allot of cool features like the ability to plug to TV for example (without having to buy adapter)waterproof I really don't care about, also miss having root .I don't have to many issue's with screen misses but could be I don't use it as much as I used to.
Same thing happened to me. Just got my replacement device today. Missed touches mostly around the edges of the screen. Started about a week after I got the phone. We'll see if this one does the same thing...

I realize I am just a noob but I have started debloating and I am frustrated with apps like the Samsung Keyboard restarting themselves on their own. These apps may be hidden from my view but they start running when Samsung tells them to. If these apps can't be disabled, then I feel like I am wasting my time on trying to identify the running apps that are causing the loss in sensitivity.
I have none of these issues.
if your phone stop responding to touch in random spots on the screen, uninstall Facebook messenger, that ****ty app is causing that.
So lately my gear s2 has been giving me issues by not giving me text or email notifications. When this happened I did a light refresh and it helped it out for a few hours but would go back to no text or email notifications. And now, after doing a factory refresh and reinstalling the gear apps, I am not getting text or email notifications. I have all my settings set right in the gear app and through the phone settings app notification. The funny thing is is that I get phone calls on my gear s2 but nothing else. Anybody else having this issue? FYI my phone is an LG v10. I have a suspicion that this is a Gear app problem. Any help would be great. Thanks!!
Yup...
... me too! Was working fine then just stopped yesterday evening. I wonder what's changed?
A factory reset and reinstalling the Gear App on my Note 5 managed to synch the last text received prior to the reset but nothing since.
I have heard others speak of the same issue on other boards so I have a feeling it was the Gear app update that is the problem. Hope they fix it soon

I had been having the same problems as well and it turned out I had to force an update of Samsung Accessory Service after the Gear Manager and Gear Plugin updates. Make sure the Accessory Service is at rev 2.26.106.
Hope that helps,

Unfortunately having rev 2.26.106 makes no difference on my Note 5. Interestingly I can control the S2 from my phone so it's definitely connected and it does get the occasional email notification (although not all). Unless Samsung sort this out the S2 is practically useless.
How

Stupid question, how do I force the update of the Samsung Accessory Service? I'm at 2.16.106 and see no update available for me

Not sure if you tried it already, but for me, turning off the "Limit Notifications" setting on the gear app dramatically helped with the reliability of notifications arriving to the watch. Thought I'd share, just in case
(I'm on a Samsung Note 4 with the 3g tmo S2).
Anybody figure this one out yet? Just received mine 12/10, and received texts that morning, none since. Still receives calls and alarms, just no texts or emails...
Mine worked at first, then stopped working, I tried everything I could think of (factory reset, reinstalling software on phone, clearing caches), miraculously it then worked perfectly for a week (I don't think it was anything I did), then it stopped receiving texts and email notifications again. There is clearly a connection with the phone as I get call notifications.... what a piece of junk.
Same here all fine then nothing
I contacted Samsung and relayed the problem to them and they told me the V10 is not compatible with the Gear S2. After looking at the list of compatible phones on the Samsung website, I saw the V10 isn't on there. It's just weird that it did work fine off the start and then stopped with the email and texts. But yet I still get phone calls. Hopefully they start to show some love to the V10

Unfortunately for me I have a Samsung Note 5, I wonder if that isn't compatible either? The watch clearly has major issues.
Same here, I have a G S5. I contacted the 800 number, no real help other than do a reset and reinstall Gear Manager.
I am just disappointed that it doesn't work with my V10. If I had a Samsung like you guys do I'd be really pissed. They really gotta get their stuff together
I recently had similar issue that one of the messenger app suddenly didn't forward notifications to my S2 classic while email notifications worked fine. The solution was to reboot my phone instead of doing anything to gear manager or watch. Now everything works like charm. Hope this could help someone who got similar issue. I have a note4 BTW.
