switching on/off or rebooting...... = crazy things - Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

hey there fellas
(i'm sorry to post my problem here in the development section but i guess it might be related to the lag fix)
My SGS is acting weird lately , dunno if its related to the lag fix ( [UTIL] One Click Lag Fix 1.0 - 2.0 ) ever since i got the phone with normal use iv never seen anything funny like this. it all started with lag fix version 1 , the phone was fast and with that fix even faster , the phone was all good started with the root as step 1, then it was the market fix, after that i was tempted to try the lag fix which was amazingly effective, went from version 1 to version 2 of it and then it started.
the phone took long to respond 'sometimes' when the screen was off and after a day the phone simply didnt want to get out of standby ( black screen ) so used the boot mode and formatted the phone , once the phone started i formatted the internal sd and rebooted and applied the Root-market fix-lag fix ver 1.0 in that sequence, now the phone seems a little weird . by weird i mean strange things r happening like when i goto the apps menu the icons move by them selves in a random way after a reboot. I set it up to show apps in the first couple pages followed by games , now its all messed up and i didn't mind it at all.
with my internet provider i really have to keep an eye on my 3g usage, and have been using 3g watchdog to keep track. now i notice everytime i restart or switch off / on the phone, the counter goes back to 0 which really gets on my nerves.
now to track the problem would someone point me in the right direction ?
could it be the lag fix ? could it be the program itself ? should i switch to another ? would i need a fresh flash ? my phone is working on eclair 2.1 version I9000JXJF1 , using kies since day 1 there has been no firmware update for the U.A.E and i dont want to risk updating to anything unless its official from samsung.
any help is much appreciatted ^_^

it's interestingly weird case.
i'll start by suggesting to wipe the cache data, and data in recovery mode or
*2767*3855#
WARNING! FACTORY RESTORE, DATA WIPE AND RESET TO FACTORY STATE, as soon as you enter the last # use it only if you want to clean wipe your phone

i started with the first and then was like WTH and went with the second only to find out its the same procedure hehehe..... anyways phone is fresh now , started with rooting then off with lag fix 2.0 ( hope it dont get that same problem again ) . Now i notice there's no bootup logo when starting the SGS ( the swirling S ) but the sound still plays , is this normal ?

I had this exact same issue when I was using SetCPU. Uninstalled it and the problem was gone. Also some of the custom kernels are having wake-up lag.

Are you using LauncherPro? If so, this is common behavior and might also be so with other launchers. After booting up it will sequentially load your apps and that's why they will seem to popup in a random order bouncing about in the menu. After it's finished loading everything it will all be back to normal.

Seems to me that you had a problem with applying your lagfix and that the phone doesn't store your app-data properly.
My recommendation is to update to the JM5 firmware. It's the version that's been most tested with the lag fixes. I'm running JM5 with RyanZA's Lag Fix 2.0 and SamSet 1.9e (except kernel). It works like a charm and have done so for the past week. No wake-up lag, crashes or other weird behavior.
Hope this helps, and good luck

First boot will always take longer time and might also affect the sync between the sound and animation. It's normal!

thank you very much for your informative reply
let me start replying to what u just told me
#1
I had this exact same issue when I was using SetCPU. Uninstalled it and the problem was gone. Also some of the custom kernels are having wake-up lag.
i dont have SetCPU installed as i have tried it for a few days and found it useless , since i dont have the 1.2 ghz tune i dont see why i should even keep the app, yes i saw how the app messes with the phone so i removed it.
#2
Are you using LauncherPro? If so, this is common behavior and might also be so with other launchers. After booting up it will sequentially load your apps and that's why they will seem to popup in a random order bouncing about in the menu. After it's finished loading everything it will all be back to normal.
no im not using Launcher Pro and i could see how it would affect the arrangment of the programs but it wasn't that. My guess is it might probably be 1 of 2 , either titanium backup or Mybackup pro after restoring the data and not the apps.
#3
Seems to me that you had a problem with applying your lagfix and that the phone doesn't store your app-data properly.
im guessing a maybe here since i dont know how it would affect my 3g watchdog's app or make it reset the counter, i switched to Network monitor ( not as good as 3g watchdog but it does the same job ^_^ )
#4

just like i said id love to go that way but can wait a month or 2 till froyo joins the fun.
#5

i hope its just a sync problem , but the phone gave up on the animation , after a couple of tries yea the logo simply isn't there anymore just the sound but i did notice a little faster boot up time this way with only a small vibration to indicate the phone has started.
i'll redo everything again 1 step at a time 1 app at a time , i'll delete my backups as i could do it just this time to get a good fix after a clean boot , and i guess i'll just stick with version 1 as i didnt see anything wrong with it so no need to jump to version 2 of the lag fix
could anyone tell me what app will back up all my sms/mms/call log without any trouble ? does titanium do that coz i looked everywhere and couldn't find anything regarding that
Thanx to everyone for your help ^_^
now to find a fix for that gangster game after redoing everything

ok new discovery
using mybackup pro to backup all the sms's and mms's restarted after the restore and boom
what i see now is the old background from before the *2767*3855# method and the apps linked to homescreen from before , could it be the trouble maker ?
ok now im not gonna use it and test the whole procedure all over again

ok i guess thats it... even after a factory reset the logo wont show up again T_T
any tutorials on how to flash the original FW safely ? where could i find my original FW ? thing is i need arabic lang and doubt the JW5 has it built in anyways im off for now....... ~ spends the night googling~

G1 Problem [Look out for the Monster]

Hey guys,
I upgraded my G1/Dream from an older cyanogen version, to the newer one 4.2.15.1
and now for some reason my phone keeps restarting Any reason why ?
Can you please tell me how to fix it?
I've taken battery out & Also 'green+home+red' . Same keeps happening.
It restarts when it wants, can be 2 minutes, 10, 30.. but lately ever 1 minute or so..
What can I do?
Bump
bump
Anyone?? please
I'd recommend a full wipe and reinstall of your desired rom from scratch. Sounds like kernel panics to me.
my g1 was freezin up alot on cm4.15.1.... before it died and i had to get it replace....try unrootin and then root again and if it doesnt work it could be a hardware prob.

Why would you completely unroot and reroot? That's just too much work.
Wipe, and reflash. Also, a few apps have a problem with custom ROMs, try disabling apps that run in the background one by one until you find that your phone no longer reboots.
However, if you didn't wipe, I highly recommend that as the person before me said.

Magic 32B keeps rebooting

Hi guys,
I have a problem with my Magic 32B and hope one of you guys could figure out where this all come from.
Since a couple of weeks my magic has become very unstable and I would say I have about 20 to 30 freezes or reboots a day. It suddenly started when I switched from a nightly froyo to another and since then regardless on the ROM I flash I always have the same behaviour (I'm currently on the CM6 RC1).
I tried the following:
- full wipe via AmonRa + format of SD (128 SWAP + 512 EXT + FAT) clean reinstall of a presumably stable rom --> failed keeps rebooting or freezing
- I did a fastboot erase system -w + flash of a clean ROM --> failed
The bizarre thing is it never crashes when the phone is USB plugged on my laptop, therefore I've never seen a logcat showing anything bad ...
Also I can't identify any pattern or scenario which would systematically frag my magic... Even when I install a fresh new ROM, it can work pretty well for as long as an hour but then start being screwed up.
I've spent quite some time on this forum desperately looking for someone experiencing the same troubles but so far unsuccessfully ...
Would you guys have any idea ?
cheers

Probably other people will say it, but wrong forum.
Also, what ROMs have you flashed after the nightly froyo? Nightly froyos are cautioned, which I'm sure you knew.
yep, I used a couple of FroYo SP French Connection nightlies and then switched to CM V6.0.0-RC1.
(sorry if it's the wrong forum, @admins, please feel free to move it to wherever make sense)

This may not be your problem, but I found personaly that as soon as I enabled swap, my phone became a bit unstable. It was not rebooting itself when I had compcache on. Then I turned that off and switched to swap and now my phone rebooted itself sometimes. For me compcache was noticeably faster but swap multitasks better. So I've kept swap in spite of reboots. I have also found that switching between them either way my phone becomes unstable and rebooted itself multiple times before becoming stable on compcache or at least not rebooting as much on swap.

well i had the same issue. nothing helped, i reinstalled the spl, radio, rom, recovery, everything.
the only thing that helped is :

I would expect a Donut based ROM to be fine. Which ROMs have you tried since the freezing/rebooting problem started?
The next time it reboots you should take a copy of /proc/last_kmsg and post it here. You can do so with:
Code:
adb shell cat /proc/last_kmsg > last_kmsg.log
Reboot cycle
I'm sorry if I'm in the wrong area, but I also have the same problem. I have a mytouch 3g (32B). I recently flashed it with "Froyo SPF Connection" and that made it reboot just about every 30 seconds. I restored it to the 1.6 Donut rom and it kept rebooting but repeated the process and now it seems fine. The problem is I don't want the 1.6 rom but that's all can have right now since everything else slows it down and freezes it. Please help me solve this problem. I'm opened to any useful recommendations and every help is appreciated.

Eclair ROMs are just as stable as donut ROMs and as fast as donut. Just don't use Froyo till it's stable. Use CM5.0.8 or any CM variant and you should be fine.
I'm having the same problem after flashing the new radio the phone will boot and as soon as its done loading the home screen it will reboot then load the home scree and turn off
Flashed French Connection ROM few days back and have had same problems as above ever sense.. Flash other ROM's and they constantly Reboot. cy 6.0 Working for me now, But only my Nandroid back up of it. Re flashed it fresh and it reboots...
why dont you reroot ur phones like i told you?
This freezing and rebooting problem is weird - it doesn't make sense a lot of the time.
I've developed a ROM based on AOSP 2.2 for the G1 and it also seemingly randomly freezes or reboots.
When it reboots it's usually the result of an ARM9 crash and so far I have tracked it down to a call to a proprietary library function which doesn't return to the correct return address. It seemingly returns to a random address and the consequences of doing so is random. Sometimes it causes a freeze or a reboot and other times it doesn't.
I'm starting to suspect something in the JNI code is causing the problem but it's difficult to track it down.
FroYo SP French Connection is overclocked to 614 by default. My Mytouch (32B) reboots and freezes constantly if i don't turn it down to 576. Try turning the overclock down in set cpu to 528 first then if its stable you can try turning it up a little.
Urgh, I hadn't considered clock speed as a potential problem.
What if some of our phones are unstable at the default Froyo maximum of 528 MHz?
I am (was) in the same situation (Magic 32B). It started with CM6 RC1 first and after it, my nandroid backups got weird too! I always wiped everything and rebooted by myself several times. I never played with overclocking, compcache or ext partition - but after trying other FROYO ROMs as well, even a clean install of CM5.0.8 final was unstable got fc's and rebooted...
So, after one year of trying nearly every ROM out there, i finally made a decision: i went back to my stock rooted 1.5 cupcake!! Yes, 1.5! I never tried this ROM before - even in my first days i immediately switched to sense...
And what should i say? I'm blown away by the speed and stability of this ROM! Unbelievable! ... sad day ... really sad ....
And my decision after that: i will wait for an official FROYO for Magic, which was at least officially announced...
sad, sad, sad...

Well, i think - like my approach - rerooting will not bug down the fault in FROYO ROMs. I hope it will be sorted out, but for me the daily flashing is over for now. I really appreciate the hard work of all the devs and i also donated to some, but at the end of the day i just want my phone and don't want to wait for going to homescreen or missing a call because of the lags...

Well, I think default for stock unrooted phones is like three hundred something you could try that but it would be really slow.

I totally agree. I know waiting for the official Froyo for the Magic may take years before it's finally released, but I'm tired of flashing and testing new roms every day without getting the results I want. As a result of this frustration, I will go back to Donut 1.6 for now and wait for the official update. Hopefully 5.1 won't be out before we finally get the update

Unfortunately the phone still rebooted due to an ARM9 crash.
I've attached a small CM6 RC1 update as a test fix for the ARM9 crashing.
Anyone experiencing random freezing or reboots should give it a try by copying it to your SD card and boot to recovery to flash it.
If you install the test fix but still experience random reboots I'd appreciate if you could upload a copy of /proc/last_kmsg to http://android.pastebin.com and post the link to it in here. A logcat up to the point of the reboot would be very helpful too.

Keeps rebooting after Darky 8.1 update

Now just had a little problem. I updated to Darky's 8.1 no wipe version. It updated fine but the first time it booted, it froze. Now it keeps doing a boot cycle over and over again. I see the i9000m screen but I do not get to the S logo screen or in this case the transformer screen because it reboots. Can you help me plz? Thanks.

try a re flash of another ROM preferably a stock ROM then start all over again, similar thing happened to me earlier, i am quite new to all this but i dont know if its the kernel or lagfix i had what caused this...
i re flashed back to froyo and then installed darkys ROM then re installed my kernel last.. all is good (for now)
worked for me first time but when i went to sgs tools to upgrade your apps ie gallery, camera, it said no busybox installed but went ahead and done fine in v8.0 and i see that cwm changed from red to green too went to market for busybox to download it but when it goes to install phone just reboots all the time mmmm...
Easiest way out of cycling boot:
pull battery
place it in
bring phone in download mode (not recovery!)
prepare Odin with a stock ROM
connect the phone to your PC and give it a kick thru Odin
When done feel free to switch again to Darkys (8.0) with wipe (you will loose data) and afterwards upgrade to 8.1.

YES !!! i agree, it is a pain.. but we love our phones and we would do anything for them its always best to flash back to standard FW if you ever get a problem...
I myself experienced this. Whenever I installed a new software, it would just boot. I got fed up because darky's forums are also down and there is no discussion. flashed doc's rom. Now everything is fine.
...mh... but it's not caused by Darkys ROM. This cycling boot feature may appear at all ROM, at all lag fix actions and so on. It depends how proper you interact with phone- and ROM-features while configuring. A lil disturbance during your session (by you or battery issue or whatelse) or a not so well prepared basic from where you start and your unlimited-feature-wishlist-and-paint-it-golden-one-click-action is enough to interrupt the whole thing and run into trouble.
It was and is all the same - since DOS or C64. And it will be the same, even when iPhone is on level 12.x or Android will be able to beam you elsewhere thru the barcode scanner.
It's a game. Nothing more. And game means lot of fun - and in the beginning a certain thrill when your phone stuck first time and you are thinking: "... f*ck... bricked..."
yup same for me

Thanks guys for all the replies. Now I did try flashing a stock rom but with no results. Was still having the same thing happening to me. If you guys can give me the link to the files you used to solve this problem, that would be great. Also just for your information I have a Bell i9000m unlocked running on fido. And NO its not an sd card failure lol.
As for DarelSteilz85, I did make one of those JIG usb for myself. It easy, just get the micro usb and strip it bare to the point you can see the pins on the usb which usually are connected to the wires and get a resister to connect one pin to another. Now for which pins, I remember it was 4 and 5 that you had to connect through the resistor but double check as I am not sure. Also the resistor has to be a certain level which I forgot so double check that also. Good luck.

Lag issue from 5.1.1 to 6.0.1 + TWRP not rec backups ?? + Cannot Mount/EFS Invalid

Helllo ! Sorry to post like this buuuut I am stuck with a huge pos of a phone right now. I was running CM13Remix with xposed for a long time and everything was cool just excess battery drain and some reboots but other than that I loved it. So I finally get my internet turned back on and I decide to find a bootloader and modem to move to EPE3 , the odin flash went smoothly but following I had a worse phone. I believe CM wouldn't boot and so I figured screw it and I'll flash EPE3 as a whole package. It does flash , it does boot but the primary issue is the horrendous lag. The thing lags so bad and hangs up in list views and typing esp. that I will go get a new phone and just make it an iPhone so I don't friggin touch it mod wise . ( I'd prob end up with jailbreak / cydia or whatever BUT thats a maybe and a diff story) so the few things I've had done , Ive done and notice are below
Initially had the phone IMEI redone via a weird USB connection but it was worth it. When I boot into factory 6.0.1 recovery I notice it says cannot mount E / EFS invalid arugument and I'm curious if the guy protected that partition to keep it from being overwritten which in my case I do have EFS Backups but I'm concerned in general what lengths he went to to rewrite the IMEI as I tried a number of things myself and couldn't do it.
The lag, it follows me over to AICP-OG android builds too which I've never noticed before. I need to try more ROMs that I can get to boot on EPE3 but I also went back down to DOK2 and it still has it. I've tried disabling things , I will try getting into the DFSV or whatever the dynamic cpu scaling but heres the other thing , I go into safemode and the lag still exists. So is it possible I messed my physical components up here using custom kernels and k.auditor ?? just odd that even in safe mode it is there
TWRP will not pick up my good backups. I tried a few things and they just wont show up. I went back to old TWRP , NEW TWRP and newest TWRP still no backups which I'd love to try as I just want to go back to my battery eating / occasional reboot machine !! I'd glady take my 4 batteries with me versus this lag!!
ANY help would be greatly appreciated. For now i'm running stock 6.0.1 and speeds are way better , battery life is great and I'm real happy with having access to stupid root lock out apps BUT the lag is so bad I just want to throw the thing. Thanks a ton , I'll continue reading and pull this thread if I get it figured out. I will not do the EFS Remount / any partition and ADB stuff until i buy a second phone / unless its totally necessary as I do not want a brick outta this / the old blacklisted IMEI to come back. I really would love to know how random dude on the web did the IMEI rewrite and if its perminently locked in there but I have no idea. I do have EFS backups in full from two diff apps so hopefully worst case I'll be okay but for now ........safety and lag. lag and safety. Thanks a ton if anyone reads this / can offer advice.
