What ROM are you running?
Overclocking too high maybe?
Dude you gotta be more specific.

Agreed when you post something like this people can't really help you.. It's like saying the brakes on your car are bad.. There's like 100+ types of brakes to replace it with but we need the right one.
My first instinct would be to tell you too Nand restore and check to make sure you're running the right spl&radio for that rom.

Thanks for the replies guys...was running CM 2.1...no overclocking, a few widgets on home screen, no swap, no CC...on class 2 sd card...had to reformat and repartiton...somehow sdcard got corrupted...but went back to 1.6...had too many other issues with 2.1...no more problems yet...

if you are using cyans 2.1, download an app called Menu Unlock from the market for $0.99 there is some places on here to get it for free maybe google it you should be able to find it

home problem?

ok my phone is messed up. ive done a lot of testing and think i know whats wrong, i just dont know how to fix it.
problem: sometimes when i reboot my phone, it loads up the screen then the sceen just goes black instead of loading my homescreen
now from what ive seen, it only does this when i use any other home app as default besides my default. open home/advanced launcher. when i turn my phone off and my default home app is the default home, it'll boot back up nicely. how can i fix this? or should i just stop using alternative home apps?
btw, im on cm 4.0.4
latest radio and hard spl
g1
cm 1.4 recovery
and i HAVE tried wiping many times. and reflashing. doesnt fix it.
or could it be that these home alternatives arent compatible with cm 4.0.4?
idk. you guys are the experts
I think you answered your own ?

well sort of.. i was kinda wondering if theres a fix to this, so that i can use home alternatives, or if im screwed and just gotta use the default
I would imagine with cyan having so much donut in it and the home alt's not being designed for it they wouldn't work right.
Wow, a real answer and one that made a whole lot of sense, it must be getting cold outside
I have alot of gas tonight. Stupid taco bell
And he's right we are the experts, of what I don't know but of something
of what we do.
lol. thanks...
i think
Possibly, not sure either
ohh billly
idk about 4.0.4
but cyan said home alternatives wont work on his experimental. i believe he said only dxtop was updated (dont quote me on this, check his twitter)

Help G1 problem

Hi,
Recently I have been having a problem with my G1.
When I have left my phone on stanby for a period of time and I press the menu key to turn on the screen the screen back light comes up but it's blank.
I have to press the end key periodically to get the screen to come on this can take anything from 5secs to 1min. I have reflashed and wiped several times and tried different themes but it still does it.
I am running cyanogen 4.2.15.1 with the enoch theme updated via cyanogen updater.
It does not do this all the time it did it more with Darkstar.
I have been told I should re-root but I am worried about doing this because I am on the new radio and have been told I cannot flash back.
What to do???
Then why don't you just change roms and see if the problem still consists :S

DREAIMG.nbh will over-write you radio and spl, no worries there if you wanted to go that way but I think it's a little too extreme. What you need to do is a complete wipe and stable rom with no a2sd or swap. Once that's running for you - start adding stuff 1 at the time. Sooner or later you will pinpoint the problem.
Good luck.

Ok I reformatted the partition and set it back up using amon ra 1.5.2 swap 96 ext 512 then installed super d 1.10.2 and slowly added apps to my a2sd, did on Friday no problem till Thursday afternoon it once again I pressed menu and the screen stayed black after pressing the end key repeatedly it came back up about 30 seconds later.
2 theories here
Could it be because I am using a class 2 sd card or
Could it be related to a lock screen, before I used lockbot though I uninstalled it it still happened noww I am using lock screen 2.0 the day after it started happening.
Cyanogenmod has always done this on every version I've flashed. Try a different release.

I am on super d 1.10.2 not cyanogen, do you mean a rom that does not use cyanogen guts???
hey i've also got this problem but it's kind of different, 1 im not running cyanogen, 2 it might be a hardware issue with your's as it is one with mine. So far i think its the flex cable but not too sure. My screen would go black and whenever i try pressing the home or something the device would just completely shut off. I would remove the battery and have to try and boot it up at least a couple of times before it decides to work properly.Any ideas? i might get a new flex cable but im not sure if thats the real problem.

Super-D does use few CM bits and pieces in his rom but that's should not be the problem.
Do you use any home replacement apps?
Do you use a task manager?
If so, make sure that your taks manager is not killing your home. Do make sure that it kills other memory intensive apps when not in use
If you use stock home then make sure to check "Keep Home in memory" in the "Spare Parts", see if that helps.
Sounds like either a memory leak somewhere (one of the apps) or a hardware problem. Let's hope for the first.
And yes.... please get rid of that class 2 card ASAP. New class 6 8 Gb card is around $15 and will last your thru few devices so its a money well spent.
Good luck.
I pretty certain it's not a hardware problem as there is no pattern to when it happens, I do have a habit of installing different home apps as I like to try them all that could be the problem.
]I give that a try
Try cleaning the cache . Maybe there are too many things running in the background .
how bout you do a full wipe and try out super cdsi v4 rom its just about the fastest rom out there

Phone restarts by its self after flashing fresh 2.1.1

ok first off i love the fresh roms so im not bashing.
does anyone else have an issue that seams to be directly related to flashing the new fresh 2.1.1 rom.
when im in a call and end it with the power button it restarts the phone.
is this because of what i think it is or something else.
i wiped everything when i flashed so i dont know what else it could be, in the mean time i guess i have to go back to fresh 1.1 sense i cant find a fresh 2.0d download link anymore and i deleted my nandroid and the 2.0d rom off my computer like an idiot. uneless someone could point me to a 2.0d link

probably should be in q&a or fresh's thread but here is a link all fresh's downloads are on geekfor.me should be at the bottom

I found that the restarting issue on my end was linked to the battery stats and roation stats. After i wiped those, for some reason, i stopped restarting.

Alright I did everything mentioned, above. i wiped the battery and rotation stats in ra recovery i even re partitioned my sd card and did a wipe data/factory reset plus the ext and dalvik-cache. then re flashed fresh 2.1.1.
also i am not using any other dialer that i know of. just the one that comes backed in the rom.
so why am i still resetting randomly!!! it even did it when i was doing nothing at all not just in a call like before.
this is on two seperate sprint htc heros that this is happening to.
anyone please help!

couple questions.
1. are you using any aggressive process killers, like the one found in spare parts?
2. what, exactly, do you mean by resetting? do you mean a quick 10 second restart of rosie, or a full on 1.5 minute reboot?

sorry i took so long to reply.
no process killers.
Im now able to replicate it restarting (not randomly) if i let the phone go to sleep by its self and sit for a minute when i hit the end button to wake it up nothing lights up like it should instead it does a full on 1.5 minute reboot every time.
on a separate thread someone suggested i try a different battery because whenever they put a different battery in it stopped resetting. (I was not able to try this yet because i don't have any spare batteries laying around)
I just find this hard to believe only a few people are having these problems and why no one seems to have a definitive answer.
This is kind of one of those bugs where I have to say it's something going on with your phone. Fresh Rom 2.1.1 has been downloaded over 4000 times. I restart mine constantly while testing things which means I am constantly duplicating your situation of restarting the phone, letting it sleep, and then turning it on via the power button, and I have never had this happen.
Please post a debug log of it happening and we'll see if we can figure out why your phone is doing it.
My sister had this issue even on stock 1.5. Rooted, added recovery still had it. Flashed 2.0d, still had it, went to recovery and wiped battery stats.
Haven't had it happen since. Now on 2.1.1 and all is well...go figure.

thank you for helping flipz, sorry for thinking it was something to do with your rom (foot in mouth). I now believe it a hardware issue related to any 2.1 fw.
This has happened to me on 2 different phones. Mine and my friends. Mine restarted "randomly" once i wiped the battery and rotation stats and it fixed mine. My friends on the other hand i could not get to stop restarting for the life of me. So i was forced to switch back to a 1.5 fw rom.
Point being it will take me a few days to get back over there and put a 2.1 fw back on it and get a debug log off of it. for now i can try using his battery in my phone and see if i have any issues. im crossing my fingers in hope i will so we can buy a new battery and see if it goes away for him.
in the mean time i can post a debug log for my phone but it probably wont do any good
i will try to post the results of the battery swap later today.
again thanx flipz i am confident with your help we can resolve this.
ok i thought i attached a error log but i guess its too big, so ill try zipping it and attaching it.

I noticed reinserting the root file helped me also make sure your not using otwidhet or super pc unless u have a rom for it i use fresh toast 2.1 no problems quickquickquick

I kind of a noob, what do you mean reinserting the root file? i thought the root was the main directory not a file.
Also i dont know what "otwidhet" or "super pc" are, im assuming im not using them if they didnt come with the rom. right?
whoops, i forgot to post the results of swapping my battery with my fiends to see if i could single out a bad bad battery.
i didnt have any luck making my phone reset itself with his battery. One of these days im going to buy a couple new batteries put on in my friends hero and flash fresh 2.1.2 on it. Im also going to try using different radios on a hunch from a different thread i read.
i dont mean to waste anyones time im just busy and messing with phone is something i cant devote alot of time to especially sense i put a 1.5 fw rom on my friends phone and he no longer has any issues.
thanks for the patients in helping me guys.
ok im at a loss. i really need your guys help.
I put a 2.1fw on my buddies phone. put my battery in his phone let it go to sleep by itself and hit the end button to wake it up and it still does a reset. now i guess im not sure if it s a full on reset but it takes about a minute to reset.
so i put his battery in my phone and let it go to sleep and het the end button to wake it up and it also reset, now i did not clear the battery stats either and now after one time i can not get my phone with his battery to self reset for the life of me...???
no matter what bettery i try his phone will not stop resetting.
im posting an error log from his phone i got off adb using
adb bugreport > errorlog.txt
is that what im suppose to do? please help i would have been just fine with the 1.5fw on his phone but there was an audio issue that on some calls the person on the other end could not hear him.
does anyone know if the flipz audio fix will work for that or is that not a good ides?
Here is his error log, i hope this is what im suppose to post.
if anyone has any ideas about the audio fix for the 1.5fw that would be awesome cause now i gotta go back to that becasue i cant leave his phone with porblems.
Could it be that it is just Sense restarting and not the whole phone. Try using Fresh 2.1.2 with LauncherPro and see if you still have the problems. Make sure that you are not using the vanilla launcher in 2.1.1 as I had several instances where it caused instability.

Im still confused on what i have to do to get some help from the devs. i posted a error log like asked if i was suppse tp post something else could someone please tell me? this is getting extremely frustrating. am i the only one here???
please someone help.

[Q] Which Route for me... no pun intended!!

Hello, I am in need of a little help. I am a complete noob to android and have no idea really how the system works. I have a Samsung Galaxy S and have decided to root my phone for 2 reasons.. ap2sd and so I can install the lag fix. I have done a bit of reading and chosen the path I wish to take but would like some assurance and pointers. I am also unsure of: If I root my phone does this automatically mean that with a properly partitioned sd card that I can store apps 2 sd or do I still need to flash the handset with a new ROM and if so there I am stuck... I do not know where to begin with searching for the best ROM for me. Also I would like to know if after i've done this will the handset still be able to receive the official updates or will I just need to keep updating it myself!
Here is the rundown as far as i have got so far...
Samsung Galaxy S I9000/XXJF3 Updated!
All the programs for XP i need are downloaded (eg.net3.5/4, samsung drivers)
The root method I thought was best for me was that of TGA_Gunman
The lag fix I had chosen is by Chainfire
I have still to back up the original ROM with ClockWorkMod (Is this easy to do and if I need to use it will it bring me completely back to my original settings for warranty purposes, or is there other things I would need to do?)
Also could someone provide me with a link to the best noob proof SD partitioning method!!
Is there anything I'm missing here, or anything that could be done a better way!! Any and all pointers will be much appreciated....
P.s. I would be wanting to update to the official froyo update when it's available will this cause me problems and if so what must I do!
Thanks in advance

rooting the phone is safe, and it will not cause any damage to the phone.
but stuff that you install after you root your phone, or modifications and customization changes that you do, might brick the phone, is not done properly (that's the worse case scenario), normally it will just get stuck in a black screen, or endless loop.
All that can be easily fixed using the 3 button Recovery Mode, or 3 button Download mode as posted in the Wiki
I'll suggest you to try the phone rooted but stock with whatever firmware you choose to run.
use the "Lag Fix" only if you really feel the phone sloppy.
I've been using my phone from day one to now without the "Lag Fix" because i've not experience any lag at all.
However I do install Apps to the external SD card, as i want to keep my internal SD as free as possible.
the best link for the Lag Fix & SD card partitioning is the sticky here

Thanks... I understand the risks. Bricked my windows omnia twice before I successfully managed to de-brand and update it!! lol... As to what you said about rooting it and staying with whatever firmware I choose? I wouldn't know which one to use. Normally I wouldnt bother with it all but the lag on my phone now is silly, 5sec pauses on black screens. I end up having to kill my inactive apps once or twice a day just to get some usability from it (which I'm not supposed to need to do)..... So with that in mind is there a firmware that is running better that XXJF3.... Also if flashing a new ROM will be more advantageous and easier I am willing to take that route. I had a look at the link you gave for the lag fix... but being honest I feel that is a bit much for me at this moment... there are many one click lag fixes out there that don't intimidate me so much, is there not a reliable one?... The reason the lag fix you posted scares me is that I dont really understand half of whats being said and am not to sure of the process (if i'm honest it's not explained simple enough for idiots like me) Also dont even know what a busybox is let alone have one, The one click options have them in the package. Sorry, I am so dumb and need the easy route!! LOL.... A Step by step dummies guide would be much appreciated.. LOL! But honestly The more I read the more it all confuses me.....
Anxiously waiting any help possible!!... if it's possible!

hmm.. then i'll suggest the "one click lag fix v2" in the developers forum.
that's the easiest way to get it going.
for the I9000 version JM1 seems to be the most stable ROM
I ma be following this thread as I am a noob as well
Thanks to the patient experts here!!!

Read some more into the problems with the lag fixes and now see why you were trying to steer me away.... Still way to many bugs for my liking!! I think for now its best like you said to just root and flash a better firmware... But how do I do this, correct me if im wrong:
1. Root phone via TGA_Gunman method
2. Back up phone using clockworkmod
3. download new firmware from samsung firmwares
4. put downloaded firmware onto root folder of internal SD
5. shut down phone then put the phone into download mode (Using the 3 buttons)
6. select the update.... then wait it out!!
Am I missing anything ???
As I side point I called the european samsung office today to ask if there was going to be a fix for the lag in the next month, or is it just the GPS it's concerned with... Samsungs response.... "There wasnt a problem with lag on the phone as far as we knew... You're the first person to complain of it... It has to be a problem with your handset"... Needless to say the conversation went no futrther, or I'd have lost the plot! LOL...

Holy stitch, what BS is that? FOR ME, THERE IS DEFINITELY LAGGING THE MOMENT I BROUGHT THIS PHONE (from music player to video player to switching between apps or even opening some apps though most of the times its just minimal).

Yeah I've had the same... The longer the phone is in use the slower mine gets... I'm not leaving apps in the background either... It seems as if it just piles and piles inactive apps into the memory then goes slow!! I cancel the inactive ones and It's fast for a while then BOOM!.. slow again, 5/10 screen lag! unreal they're sayin they know nothing! Just hoping that a new firmware will make it better as the lag fixes look way too buggy still! Good luck with yours.. let me know if you find out any better roots/routes to fix the dam thing!
i'll disagree with the lag
i'm still using the stock ROM on mine, and i don't experience the lags some people are having.
i can browse fast, switch apps fast, play audio/video fast, launch GPS app fast, and get a lock fast even when the car is moving on the road already
i do leave stuff like Fring running in the backgroup for my IM and video calls, meanwhile the music player plays via Bluetooth to the car Deck or BT headphones, and using GPS to check my route for speed, traffic jam, etc.
email is constantly syncing, set to auto sync every hour
if i want to check the weather it loads up instantly

As far as im aware you cant install a firmware using the update.zip method? this is more for custom roms and other modifications over the top of an already installed firmware?
you want to open up Odin3 and connect your phone ones in download mode, use this to flash the PDA file in your firmware pack
Using JG4. No lag. None zilch wham. I have seen the lag first hand at a local store.
I will not be installing a lag fix until I understand what they are doing so I don't be a tard (brick my phone).

I'm fine up to the point of flashing the formware could you or someone please explain in a bit more detail what ODIN3 is, how it works and what i'm gonna need and what I need to do!! Sorry to be asking so much, but better I ask and get it right than ask for more help on how to unbrick my phone ...LOL
Is it an android program or somethin I put on my PC... also is there anything I would need to do to the phone other than the root!!
EDIT: Why o why do I need to use odin3... From what i'e read all that does is send it back to original settings and firmware... WHICH I HAVE!! I have not even rooted the phone yet, I am gathering enough info before I even begin!!
So back to the point in hand.... I will root my phone back up the ROM with clockworkmod!!
After this I am stuck as to how I flash it with a different firmware one that is more stable and maybe not having issues with lag!!
Which firmware should I pick and how do I get it flashed onto the device!
PLEASE HELP! I need to try something to get rid of this lag it's unbearable! I'm now wondering if there maybe is something wrong with the handset as the lag is really not to be expected 10secs to switch an app... and i've only added bout 15 apps so its not as if I'm expecting alot from the thing!
before you go all the way and do all those Mod to make the phone faster
lets try something more simple and safer to get rid of that LAG problem (10 sec is definitely too much)
go to the phone dial pad
and dial this number
*2767*3855#
Then give us an update if the phone goes back to normal speed.

did that played with the phone a little a began to see the lag creep up on me again (I am beginning to think this is a problem with memory more than anything, it just keeps loading inactive apps into the memory till it's full) .... Ran quadrant and had a score of 856 although this means not alot to me... what is the norm... and why does that seem slow.... it is after all a 1ghz processor.....
awaiting any ideas/responses.... maybe I am just being too fussy!!!
While i'm still thinking bout what to do... Anybody got any thoughts on the APK ryanZA has released on the market place.. one click root and lagfix!! some comments that it does nothing and some sayin its runnin quadrant scores over 2k....
IS IT ONLY FOR CAPTIVATE/VIBRANT or will it work with european models???????
if it's slow like 10 sec lag even on stock.... i'll definitely return the phone to exchange for another unit.
it should respond immediately, like in 1 sec

As I say it doesnt start laggy... it just gets that way after a while of using it!! 'is it then to do with the apps i'm using but them the system manager says its all inactive programs using the space... why does it load so many in!
I have just decided to root and lag fix using Ryans' oneclick apk from the market place... Has worked a treat... Am just waiting for the official JM1 update for mine... Kies wont update my version for now.. Anyway wait and see, got a feeling froyo will be out before they sort out the kies update here! If all else fails wait for the official froyo release and apply it myself with odin!...
thanks for the help!
question for you.
did you install any software that will log your activities?
i just recently installed a network logging app, to see how much 3G /2G/GPRS data i'm using, and i noticed the seldom lags
as soon as i uninstalled that particular software, the stock JH2 ROM runs fast as usual again.
i still have all kind of other apps running in the background like IM, fring, and many other online stuff running continously without any lag

Nope I was getting lag sometimes on a virtually clean handset with only 4 apps installed and the weren't apps that logging any activities at all... think maybe was bad firmware... had re-installation of system today at a samsung repair centre.. see how things go for now!! thanks though...

Lost boot up everything fuzzy, apps not working properly

After re flashing, I must of messed something up because when it boots the screen goes fuzzy and blank, you have to press the home button a few times to get the home screen to show, none of the apps work or market place or browser.
I have tried about 4 different versions of the Gingerbread o.s My tab is a sprint, also when the battery icon shows when charging that goes all fuzzy.
Hope some body can help
Thanks

Take another look at this section of forum. Now think, does it look absolutely anything like a section you should be posting a topic in???
Dev forum is for developments, not general discussion or questions and answers, They logically go in, err hmm let me think. "General" and "Q&A".

Sorry for not explaining better, To be honest I wasn't sure what I did to mess it up I was trying all sorts to make it wifi only from sprint!
Thanks
