android.process.media FC - Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I keep getting this error while trying to download anything from the Market.
"The process android.process.media has stopped unexpectedly. Please try again."
I'm running JH7 with SRE2b6 and this morning flashed the evo blackbar minimalistic v1.2 theme. I'm assuming the minimalistic theme is the culprit for this, although before JH7 I didn't have this problem while using it, though I themed that through Metamorph and this through stock recovery. Any ideas on how I can this fixed? Thanks!

I should also make note that I'm not able to access any of my images via the Gallery anymore... I tried flashing a different Minimalistic mod, tried using ROM Manager to fix permissions, all to no avail. Haven't seen anything else posted on here that I could try, hesitant to reload my Nandroid that is a couple days old :/

I've had this same error many times. Everytime I had to nandroid back to a backup weeks old as it only happened like every other month. For future reference all you need to do is nandroid backup complete wipe and restore.
I tried everything else and nothing worked including installing the rom on top of her over again, reinstalling the kernel etc. The only thing that worked for me was the above.

Clear app data?

Please help me with UID mismatch!

Hello fellow android users, I recently started getting this fc on my favorite app, TaskOS. It was working perfect on my CM 4.2.15.1 until I decided to try SuperD 1.10.2. I was wondering if SuperD would work if I just flash it on top of CM but it didn't. Ofcourse I made a nandroid+ext backup, so I just restored CM afterward. However, the problem I was getting was that TaskOS wasn't working after the restore. It wouldn't even open and it would just bring me straight to fc.
I tried pushing the apk file to different places such as, system/sd/app and system/app, but I couldn't get it to work. I also tried fix_permissions in terminal and "fix uid mismatch" in the latest AmonRa and I tried reinstalling too.
Is it not mismatch problem? I don't know but I really want this app to work.
Thanks in advance.
That'll teach you not to flash roms on top of each other when it says to wipe when coming from a different rom set.
We need a logcat to verify if it is a permission problem.
Best bet is to just wipe and start over. Worse case senario you just restore back and you know it's a problem with the application or rom.
You'll know that I already restored with nandroid if you read what I wrote. So I'll try this logcat.
Read my post about wiping THEN installing the program again. AKA starting over.
Actually the reason why I tried to just install on top of CM is that I didn't want wiping. I don't want to lose my settings and saves. Anyway, I fixed it through logcat. thanks for helping!

Facebook app and market issue on froyo

I had wipe and reinstall modaco's froyo update after I messed up during adb, trying to fix my market issue. My phone was in a boot cycle, but I was able to wipe and reflash the update. I have been using froyo for a few days with no problems. Just certain apps were not on the market.
Now after the wipe and reinstall, my news feed on the facebook app will not update. I have cleared data, and rebooted. Nothing helped. Profiles, messages, and photos work. Just does not update my news feed. I get "an error has occured fetching data [null]".
Any ideas?
The Market issue can be resolved by flashing another 2.1 ROM. When you sign back into Google after the flash, Market wakes back up. Luckily for me I was running Cyan 5053 and I upgraded to 5070. I've heard you can nandroid beforehand, wipe, flash new rom, sign in, download one app, wipe, flash old rom, nandroid restore and it should work. Like I said, flashing the upgrade woke it up for me.
Facebook.. I'm still having that issue.
Thanks for the reply, good to know I am not the only one. It must be a facebook or it is my account issue, because it is doing the same thing on my HTC Hero running 2.1. Getting the same null message.

[Q] Phone Force Closes, Just Flashed Cog 3.01

Hey guys,
I'm brand new to this stuff, and I've searched the forums to the best of my abilities and I don't see a fix yet.
I just flashed the new Cognition ROM and used Titanium Backup to "restore all apps with data". During this process, it went through my apps one by one, and asked me if I wanted to install them or cancel and not install them. I picked and chose which apps I wanted to keep and which to discard. As an aside, the apps in question were things like games/puzzles for my kid to play with, and games and such that I had downloaded from the Market to try out but forgot to uninstall.
So, after everything was restored, I started to test stuff out, and everything works...except incoming calls. I get the "The process com.android.phone has stopped unexpectedly. please try again. force close"
Is there any fix for this besides going back to stock and retrying the new ROM? If there is a solution to this a link to the thread would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks for posting this, I am having the same problem. Any help would be appreciated.
Also, what is the best way to go back to stock?

So I use ODIN to go back to completely stock and try the ROM again, but use the "restore missing apps with data" option?
You should click restore missing apps + data. That should fix it

Maybe I'm just picky or don't trust TiBu completely, but I always restore my apps individually. Never had a problem. I've been back and forth between Cognition and darkys ROMs and (of course) stock on my AT&T Cappy.
Yup restore back to stock... and if you had issues with doing a TiBu restore with "Apps and Data" I would recommend just using "Apps Only" option in TiBu.
BUT... I would test the ROM out before doing the restore to ensure it's not a ROM issue first.
If you do not wish to go back to stock, there were quite a few suggestions in the Cog 3.0x thread on this issue. A few people in that thread simply had a bad flash. One just needed to do a good solid reboot to fix it. Another suggestion was to clear the dalvik and cache using ClockWorkMod Recovery (red version). Lastly, lots of people FC'ing with the phone process were experiencing problems due to the ogg files in phone.apk being compressed when they should not be (reportedly) and was fixed by disabling the "Call Status Tone" in settings/call settings/all calls/call status tone. One of these could be your problem.
If you wish to just try again the simple way, it would probably be your best bet to Odin back to stock, do the master clear (it seems to be a topic of debate if this is the best thing to do, but it is mentioned in a few different tutorials), and flash again. Then TiBu to restore your apps+data (as mentioned... no system data, just app data) again.
If you wish to try to fix the problem, one place to start might be a fixed phone.apk in the Cog 3.0x thread in the Development section for Captivate. It is posted by Andrewk_77 somewhere between page 85 and 90, I think (sorry, I've been trying to keep up with the reading of that thread for days in order to head off any problems I may run into with Cog 3 and it's kinda blurring together). Otherwise you'll have to try to search out other solutions in that thread.
Edit:
Found that post:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=10685612&postcount=861
I know that they don't seem to be describing the exact same problem, but might be worth a shot.
I reflashed Cog 3.02, didn't use TiBu to restore anything, just set it up myself again. Phone works fine now.
Though I do have a question about flashing back to stock: would I just put the stock ROM (in this case Rogers 2.2) onto the SD, and flash it using CWM? Or do I need to use ODIN, in which case I would get the AT&T ROM? Thanks for helping a newbie out.

[Q] SuperNova ROM Issues

I was wondering if anyone else is having issues with Supernova?
After installing 2.0.6 I could not receive calls. I flashed back to Stock and re-flashed ROM. Everything worked fine except the battery. It would drop down to 98% after disconnecting from charger. I decided to try to 2.1. Every time i would install it would say error or bad. I redownloaded it twice and even went to stock. Still said the same thing. No idea what went wrong?
So i went back to 2.0.6 and now my gmail force closes when hitting the menu button. I tried to install it from market and it says unsuccessful.
Any solutions? Is there a similar ROM with the 5 screen lock?
battery drops to 98% is a known issue for any rom on 2.2.1.
supernova needs sometime to be mature ...
Did you unzip the supernova and try to add/remove any apks to it? That's the only time I've ever run into errors when flashing.
2.1 should have fixes for your gmail woes...
What is the exact error you are getting when you try to flash 2.1?

I can't remember exactly what it says, it starts to install then says aborted, error installing the supernova_2.1.zip <and under this says (bad) the rest i cannot remember.
Open the zip and rezip it it sounds like a bad DL or just go and grab the 2.3 JS5 and give it a go.

[Q] Serendipity 6.4 Market links

This was my first rom i flashed and i have never had problems with it. I ended up upgrading to S7 liked it but tried out mosaic 8 I lost all my market links so I tried every thing you can think of to get them back. I cleared the data, force stop and reboot, used the market doctor, wiped back to stock and nothing continued to work. Wiping back to stock mosaic worked untill i rebooted and it went back to nothing. This was so frustrating I decided to flash back to S6.4 because I never had problems with it. I flashed it and restored my apps with titanium and no market links. I reflashed it and individually downloaded each app and they were in my apps untill I rebooted my phone. Tried the exact same steps as with Mosaic and I got nothing.
bump, anyone?
Someone must have an idea for me
