Since I manually upgraded from EPE54B to FRF85B to FRF91, my phone has been freezing a lot. I don't really see a pattern to it as far as which apps are open when it freezes. It has happened on Handcent, browsing, Gmail, and probably a couple other apps. Anybody know what could be causing this?
yes u are right, its freezing.
Try this, from lostinbeta:
Yes, boot into recovery (turn off the device, then hold down the trackball while powering on the device)... then follow the instructions to navigate to the recovery window)... I believe when you get to recovery you get an android with an exclamation point.... press volume up, volume down, and power button all at the same time to access the submenus. Wipe should be in there. Works for non-rooted and locked phones. It's the same way I did my manual 2.2 update.
Wouldn't that wipe all the data on my phone?
Select the wipe cache option first and see if that fixes the issue. That only clears the cache partition and not the phone data.
If it doesnt then you might want/have to do a factory wipe which will delete all ur info (so back them up first).
I wiped the cache, but that didn't help. I decided to try disabling some applications to see if one of them was causing the problem. I think I may have found it. I disabled some of the options on LauncherPro that said they could cause instability, and I haven't had a problem since.
I'm having problems with the phone freezing as well.
i had a problem freezing too and i jus did a factory reset/data wipe in recovery and everything came out good no freezes, did manual updates too
I ended up doing a factory reset/wipe as well, and that fixed the problem for me.
Go to the market and grab Process Manager Full. Kill some of the apps running in the background like mail, browser, music or stuff that isn't a service. Free up some memory and see it that temporarily fixes freezing. We all deal with this and for myself, closing apps always unfreezes the phone.
Is there a way to solve this problem without factory wipe? Mine freezes 5 times a day....

I was going through this as well. If I fell back to the original ERD PASSIMG and then updated to ERE27 and stayed there things were fine.
As soon as FRF91 got pushed to my phone it would begin running hotter and lock up / restart many times per day. Yesterday alone I counted five lock-ups in 45 minutes while out shopping with my wife.
I finally got frustrated and last night I rooted my phone and did the hack needed to block the 2.2 OTA. I am currently running rooted 2.1 ERE27 (otherwise stock) and my phone is behaving nicely.
I haven't had a single lock-up/reboot since I rooted. There are some things I miss from FroYo now (like properly working hands-free Bluetooth) but I can live without if it means my phone is behaving properly.
Your still going to get the OTA, I restored one of my nandriod backups FRF85, and the OTA was waiting for me after bootup. You can't flash it though if you have custom recovery. They have rooted stock FROYO, try it out maybe you'll like. I would never go back to 2.1 that's insane.

For some reason my Nexus One running FRF85B is unable to install or uninstall any apk's. It just hangs at the installing... or uninstalling... respectively. Has anyone else ever seen that?
Installing has always been really darn quick. Now it just appears to be hanging.
EDIT: Adding new symptom: "Manage Applications" shows the apps installed , but their space is forever listed as "Computing...". It's like the manage applications service is just hosed.

I have seen that as well. I would have to exit (back or home) then when I got back to the applications screen again it wouldn't have to load at all.
Same here, AT&T Nexus One using FRF85B.
The weird thing is, the app(s) actually DO uninstall or install correctly, just that the Market page shows it's not, and hangs at it.
When I force stop the market, then relaunch and check my downloads, they're now reset to the correct info.
Well I'm glad it is not just me. Thinking it was a bad ROM I reinstalled (with complete wipe) Modaco's ROM, then stock Froyo, etc.
Problem went away when I just said screw it and installed CM 5.0.8.
The only problem that persists now is the server error going to the downloads tab of the market. I can't seem to lick that one even though apps download and install fine from the market.
On a side note CM5.0.8 still is snappier than Froyo. I'm salivating at the thought of CM6.
If anyone is also getting persistent errors with the market downloads tab, please chime in. I find it suspicious that I'm having this problem regardless of which ROM is installed.

No matter what I do I still get the server error in the Android Market application when I go to the downloads tab.
I've re-flashed the Froyo Radio and tried both CM 5.0.8 and Froyo.
I don't see others complaining about this so I have to imagine there's something wrong on my end. I just don't know how to diagnose it. Does anyone have any ideas? At All?

I did see that in the CM 5.0.8 ROM, but Froyo is a complete no-go. I've reflashed the radio, and have been using Modaco's ROM because it is the only one I know of that is just a rooted update I can flash with Amon-RA's recovery, but still no luck.
This is scary.
UPDATE
I went all the way back to Stock, Unrooted 2.1 from January, and still get the server error in the downloads page of the Market app. So for giggles, I wiped, created a new gmail account, and lo and behold, everything works. I could download apps, and they showed up in the download tab as installed.
That pretty much puts an end to thinking it's an app/ROM/radio problem, I think.
I then wiped again, went through initial setup with my primary Google account and I'm back to server errors on the downloads tab.
I guess maybe it really IS a server error. Don't know what I can do about it, except gripe...but at least I can stop scratching my head over what ROM/Radio is installed.
After several days of experimenting, the fact is that on any Froyo rom, whether it's stock or rooted, google's or cyanogen's, wiped or not wiped, new gmail account or existing gmail account, what I'm seeing is that, even if I wipe, go into Android and DO NOT enter a google account, going straight to settings | Manage Applications | running applications, shows "Computing..." forever.
Now, if I do a full wipe, it doesn't know anything about my account, right? And the cache, and all that are all wiped. So, what could possibly cause the infinite "Computing..." in the apps?
Does anyone know?
It happened to me as well last night. I was installing an apk (updating over an older version), and it showed "Installing...." forever. No hardware button gave me any response and I eventually had to reboot the machine by pressing the 3 buttons (luckily this worked. I really hate the thought of pulling the battery out...). After the reboot I tried again and it installed without a problem.
I m on a stock Nexus One FRF91, never hv an issue b4 that latest system update. Looks like it is bringing more issues to me...
what 3 buttons reboot the phone?
The same thing is happening to me. When trying to install any market app, it just hangs at "installing. I have to reboot the phone to get it to stop doing it.
Every once in a while, about 1 out of 15 times, I can get an app to install correctly and quickly, but all the other times it hangs.
It started happening when going to froyo. I have tried several different froyo mods and the same thing happens on all of them. When I nandroid back to 2.1 it is fine.
It happens to me with the Rodriguezstyle mod, the Kang-O_rama mod and the evil n-one shot Noir mod.
In order to fix this issue. You MUST do the following steps:
1. Wipe the SD card.
2. Wipe ext partition (if there)
3. Delete spareparts if you have it ANYWHERE on the system
4. Reboot the system into recovery
5. Wipe all cache's
Tada! Fixed!
This fixed it for me on Kang-O-Rama.
I belive the problem is when moving ROMs and the new app2SD feature stores files on the SD. When moving ROM's, it try's to scan them but fails. Something is stuck in a loop and wont stop .
When taking out the SD card, it ALL works flawlessly (give it a go if you need to install some apps to help)

Press the trackball, volume down and the power button all at the same time.
If you have root then the app quick boot is a one click solution.
When I was or do have a stalling at the install. I clear the market data and this works for me. I also try to keep the cache clear.
I have a bit of a problem here. Today I was at work and I notice that my Gmail app was unusable (it forced close on opening).
So, I restarted the phone and now all the apps I had installed on the phone are not showing in application list as well as gapps that are missing.
But the funny thing is that they are all there if I go in :
Setting>Application>Manage Applications
Everything is there, even google apps and I can uninstall them (I've tried with lookout and it uninstall perfectly). Once uninstall I can't install anything even if I have the apk file on my sdcard.
What can I do appart from hard reset? I have bell SGS i9000M UGJH2 stock, rooted and lag fixed wit OCLF. Arround 150 apps were installed.
I don't have any recent backup on Titanium and I will lose a lot of app data. It doesn't matter for sms as I had them backed up automaticaly on gmail before all my apps stopped working.
I've already tried wipping the cache partition and it didn't solve the problem.
Do you think I can flash back my firmware without partitionning and keep my data this way?
Could it be dangerous to flash gapps from Cyanogen wiki to see if once the market is back I have my installed apps showing again?
Update : I've tried to flash google apps from recovery and it seems to works at first as it showed up as "Installing package - Installing google applications" but the phone restarted before the bar reached the end and nothing changed. My phone is still showing only 21 apps (stock apps). Everything installed by me is not showing and google apps (Market, gmail, gtalk, maps, navigation etc..) are also gone.
It looks like something is preventing me from using my apps and installing anything.
Update : I just turn off the phone after I remove some apps to free space and see if it chages something but when I turn back on the phone it hangs on the big S logo.
Then I had the worst feeling ever. I tought my SDCARD was dead cause it's one of the symptoms of a dead i9000m sdcard.
So I just start in recovery and did a factory reset followed by a flash with odin of stock UGJH2 firmware and I tick repartition. Everything went fine and the phone is now factory fresh except that my internal sdcard is full of stuff.
Now my question is : Do you think this proble might be related to OCLF??? I applied the fix when I had some apps already installed (arround 100). I still had 500Mb free at this point. Had 380 when my apps stopped showing up.
The same thing happened to me shortly after I installed voodoo lag fix. Ended up having to get the phone replaced. Eventually my phone stopped booting up all together.. I would avoid lagfixes..
My phone is working fine for now. I applied voodoo lagfix right after the flash with odin and restored all my apps from a 3 weeks old back up, it's been good for today. The phone is not as fast as it was with OCLF but still better than stock. Hope it's not related to lag fix. Only future will tell. Waiting for other to comments on that!

Greetings all, I've been running 1.1 for a while with root while I waited for CM7 to get Bluetooth working. I had misplaced my nook charger and stopped watching threads due to real life, but now I've found it and had some time to get caught up on things.
I took the NC back to factory and upgraded to 1.2 without issues. Rooted using MN (using the currently latest version of MN, which is like 4.5.25 or something similar). Was able to root without issues, and started reinstalling all my apps. I'm not quite ready to get CM7 on there as I want a good backup of stock so I don't have to mess with dual booting and so that I can read using the native app rather than downloading the nook reader from the market.
Anyways, after I installed everything, I put CWM back on via rom manager, then rebooted it and immediately got bootlooped. Had to use cwm to wipe data and cache to get out of it.
So I started working my way through installing a few apps from the market at a time and eventually narrowed it down to being Adobe Air.
So after I got back in again, I started checking around in the OS and I noticed that AIR comes preinstalled (I checked the updater-script and it does not install air nor flash, but yet both are installed by default). I realized this after I saw that the option for AIR in the market is actually update instead of install, while the application list when I search for AIR shows free instead of update available.
Anyways, I'm about to see what happens after I use root uninstaller to remove it and then install it solely from the market, but I'm just curious if anyone else has encountered this? I have no problem updating gmail or maps from the market even though those are installed in system as well.
Thanks in advance
Edit: Removing AIR and flash did not cause bootloop upon reboot which is good news. No bootloop after installing AIR from market once I removed the default one.. Strange indeed. Must be an issue with checking the new one against the stock one's dalvik-cache entry. I installed a modified flash from the thunderbolt forums so I can get hulu in-browser on here, which works but the video is pretty horribly choppy, probably because I have it on Hi Def.. I'll try low def later.
I had 1.1 and then also went back to stock and upgrade to 1.2 than manual nooter 4.6.16 and was working to get my IMDB to stop force closing and getting Netflix to stop playing at highspeed. Happend to stumble upon flash 10.3 in the market and it asked for upgrade, so I did so and when to rebook NC. Well it now is stuck in a loop even after clearing Cache and Dalvik Cache AND reloading manualnooter 4.6.16. It'll load up to the oscilating color Color dev logo but then restarts loading and gets stuck every time at Nook Co (only partially loads the O). Do I need to go back to stock, AGAIN, and reload the Manual nooter 4.6.16?
Clear data, in addition to cache and dalvik.
You mean in mounts do a "format data" or do you mean clear data/restore to factory?

They do the same thing, so either will work
Was handing off my phone to my son, moving on to an LG G2, I let him test it out under my account, he added his account and phone was a little sluggish since the extra account was taking up more RAM, so he hands it to me while I was in bed and needs help, I factory reset it thinking it would just wipe out my personal data and allow him to enter his, well it did, but now he lost Root and I am stuck on the 1st nightly with memory leak...
Any method available to reroot this phone when in 5.0 so I can continue upgrading with nightlies? Or am I in a world of hurt now?
Justatechie replied in another thread, THANKS!!
Thats not going to work, it only works with the stock atrix hd 4.1.1
Cm12 can be rooted by going into developer options on the phone,
under root access (its disabled by default)
Just tap on it and allow apps or app and adb and it should be all set.
Other people prefer to flash supersu by going into recovery, just download the latest and put it where you will find it when you use the recovery.
I completely forgot about that, I had enabled developer mode, but nothing else, thought the reboot into advanced options was default, which it was not and slightly had a panic attack.. Thanks for the save...
Running apps stay running after a flash...
First thing odd I noticed, after giving him my phone and his adding his apps, is that when you click square to see running apps and click the 3 bars to turn them all off, they do not turn off, you have to swipe each one off now.
When I had the phone that process would end all apps I had started, now they stay on unless you swipe them off.
Also, after flashing the update to latest nightly, all the apps that were running before I flashed it and entered recovery to perform the flash, were running again upon a reboot. I have never seen this on any build, don't know if it is one of his apps causing this or what??
And I cleaned cache, cleaned dalvik, flashed both zips, cm12 and gapps, then cleaned cache again as instructed in the 5.0 threads.
I tried to see if it would happen again so I opened 3 apps, then performed a reboot, after phone rebooted, clicked the square and those same 3 apps were active...
What may have caused this?
Factory reset may have some bug as the phone was performing normally before I used that method to clear out my user data.
And if I ever decide to part with the phone I would expect that feature to work or I would be forced to keep it...

Apps will continue to run if you reboot. This is not a bug but a feature from Lollipop
I'm having a pretty serious issue. My phone rebooted on its own earlier and I only know because when it came back on it has the message: android system there's an internal problem with your device, and it may be unstable until you factory data reset.
I booted into safe mode and got the same error which tells me it isn't an app (I think)
Titanium backup force closes upon boot and will not open. I was hoping to use it to backup a couple of my games.
Anyone know of a fix? I haven't installed anything new in the last few days. Do I just need to hard reset? I'm hoping to avoid that. I might try to flash a new 5.1 system to see if that fixes it.
I had the same problem before. I believe its due to an error with the /data partition. Best thing I can recommend is formatting /data
As an update. I fastboot flashed I over D and did not get anywhere. I still get the error when it boots up and titanium backup is still borked. It was working fine before. I've heard that SMS apps can give issues so I am backing everything up, including the messages, and I'm going to erase all the messages and Textra. I will then reboot. If that doesn't fix it I guess it's time for a format of everything.
I've had Android for a long time, since the OG Hero on Sprint. This is the first time this has happened, so I'm hoping it isn't a common thing for the Nexus 6.
Deleting all messages and textra did not fix the issue. The only thing I think that could've caused it is recently by chainfire. It happened the day after I installed, tried, didn't work, and uninstalled. The next day the issue pops up and won't go away. Could also just be coincidence.
The only way I fixed this was factory reset. I did not have to wipe user data.
