Hello,
I've updated my SGS to Froyo via Kies a few days back. It all went smooth and dandy, my phone working correctly, no problem at all.
Two days ago I checked my phone's APN setting and couldn't find any, but restarting the phone fixed this problem.
Yesterday while I was working, my SGS suddenly restarted by itself, no problem with the restart, the phone was working correctly and I didn't give it much thought as I thought it was a glitch.
Today, about the same time yesterday, the phone restarted itself again. the restart went smoothly too, but I'm worried that this might foreshadow a bigger problem.
Does anybody have this experience? Will this restarts stop by itself? Did the problem became worse? Please if anybody has similar experience, do kindly share it here Thanks in advance!
Did you wipe data after installing Froyo? I experienced reboots on connecting power to phone (no matter if AC or USB) after upgrading. Restoring default settings from recover menu fixed that.
P.S.
backup first!
yep, did a factory reset and remove cache. i restored some apps from eclair though, via Titanium Backup. Thanks for reminding me though!
Hello,
My SGT p1010 got unresponsive (the display didn't want to turn on) and I held the power key untill shut down. After turning on again, the home and search keys are touchable (I get the vibrant feedback), but there isn't any action performed. I unfroze some samsung stuff I had frozen before that and restarted, but no effect.
As a side effect, the icons and widget (accuweather) I placed manually on the desktop disappeared, and the programs got sorted by name (not like before - the latest installed - after the earlier ones).
Was this some kind of soft-hard reset?! No info disappeared though..
Any ideas why is this happening and how to fix it?
Well, I just did factory reset and it's all ok now..
It will happen again
i had the same problem. went to a samsung store and they updated the gt software. they were sure that the update was the solution to the issue, but it happened again. please contact samsung support to make them know this important problem.
Same problem here.
Contacted Samsung. Waiting for a call.
Problem:
- Home screen reset to factory settings. Some settings like key sounds reenabled
- Home and Search key not working
All account settings and apps are still there.
Also when you shutdown the phone there is only one option "shut down". There were 3 before. Like offline mode and one other option i don't remember.

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Just what I was gonna recommend. It usually does the trick
Tbolt meatclaws-talkatap
Doing the "trick" every day is not that great though...
Again
This stupid issue happened AGAIN....I refuse to factory reset it again! Any ideas?
@ravage2k : did u get a call from Samsung?
It happened to me 2 weeks ago, did a factory reset and I'm waiting for the next time :'(

I've had this problem for the past 6 weeks since I got my gt p1010. It happens a couple of times per week. Grrrrr.
The Kies solution fixes the home key & lock button issue and all the apps are there, however I get the following two things:
* All Homepage data is lost (I have to re-do all of my homepage icons)
* My browser bookmarks are all lost
Haven't done a factory reset as I'm not convinced this will fix the issue - that certainly seems to be the case for Malicieux anyway!!
Might this be something to do with pattern lock??
Has anyone found a solution to this yet?????
We need a firmware update and fast!!!
P1010 Home and Search Key not working
Hi Guys,
I have read your posts and have also had this really annoying problem.
The last time I did a factory reset, I have intentionally not installed any additional apps or setup my Exchange e-mail client, as I strongly suspect that it will be down to something like this.
I have not had any problems at all so far - where before it would lock up and reset multiple times in one day.
I have not yet installed any of the previous apps I had, but I will be installing one a day until I find it crash again.
It didn't have many apps on their but here are a list. I am curious to see if anyone who has also experienced these issues had installed the same apps as me.
Skype, BBC Iplayer, GoogleSky
or were connected to an Exchange account.
I have setup my exchance account once more today - but without checking the Sync Calender or contacts options.
It has been working for 1/2 day with still no problems.
I suggest everyone else who has this problem does the same and we nail down the offending app!
You will need to do a factory reset - not a Kies Sync fix - because you will always get the problem again (because you still have the offending setup / app)
Let's nail this down!
I have a P1000, so not sure how valid this is. I searched on Google and there appears to be an Android issue 8503 (I think?) related to this:
Home button vibrates but no action
Search doesn't work
cut-down "power off" menu
no security lock
I experienced this issue repeatedly when updating Overcome ROM, I narrowed it down to restoring backed up apps. So I've downloaded apps from the market and restored data from Titanium Backup. I think I've got a contaminated back-up somewhere.
Since not restoring apps (after trying at least twice, maybe 3x), my system has been stable. While not pinpointing the issue, I hope this helps someone...?
@ irw030370 same here...
@ snesy i think the problem lies with Skype.
my father has the same problem with his P1010 ans the same temporal solution when connecting the tab to his pc ( he does not need to start Kies, just connect it with a usb cable )
I did a reset once but installed all the SW directly after that...
strange thing is that my mother has also a p1010 same version of FW and so on and does not have that problem...
next week i'll get my hands on his tab and will perform a hard reset, and do as you suggest.
Will update my findings later on...
Greets,
T.
Edit :
With the basic install, added only skype and some email accounts. I did not have an issue.
Still looking...
Hi all
any advance on this problem?
You should update to Android 2.3.
Check Kies or follow http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1410035
I did not have any problems with this new version so far.
Hello,
Before everything:
I have a SGS with Android 2.2.1 JPY, rooted 2 months ago with 1click or something like that
It all happend yesterday... I was talking at the phone for aprox 2 minutes when my phone started vibrating... I sad ok, maybe some app just crashed, it happens. After i closed the call, my phone didn't respond to any command (any kind of button, power button nothing).
So i tought ok, a good old pull the battery out reset should do the trick. After restarted the phone... what could i see... the settings (with google account and sht appeard) and my background changed
Then i started receiving messages from A LOT of apps the i had installed (Titanium Backup, Color Note, so on...) that they crashed. My contacts are gone too (recovered them in the end), and it seems i can only use 5% of my installed apps (basicly the ones that come preinstalled with android).
What should i do ? Did someone else have this problem ?
Yes, same **** happened to me last night !
I did a hard reset and reinstall all and now it's working ok.
(FROYO.DXJPE)
Please don't think I haven't researched this on the forum. But people don't put plain titles telling their problem.
I.E. Blutooth Error, then you have to read the whole damn thread to see what there error is. and the one that has a similar problem to mine, which does use BLUE TOOTH WON'T TURN ON in the title doesn't clearly resolve the issue.
So if you don't mind I would like to post this just for those that have this error on 2.3.4
I have recently started using 2.3.4 and am very happy but after a few days I decided to switch on the bluetooth to pair with a device. It wouldn't turn on. I clicked the icon on the menu and it went a dull green for some time and then switched off. I tried this a few times, after which I went to the settings where I had the same issue except this time it wouldn't even let me tick the box.
So my solution was this. In plain English.
I turned off the phone and then turned it on again and as quickly as I could went to the settings and ticked the "Bluetooth on" box. It turned on immediately and scanned all my devices, not a problem.
Now I can turn it on and off at will, from the icon or the settings.
Why this happened I am not sure but I hope this plain explanation help others.
Feel free to comment on the technical reason why the glitch appeared if you know for sure.
Deeno
2 thumbs up... that worked perfectly...
Weird bug thow....
Weird
This is really weird but it worked..
Damn, thanks! It worked!
For me this didn't worked. After rebooting and activating mobile data and after that trying to activat bluetooth it doesn't work. For me ist was a bug in JVP. After upgrading to JVR this problem was solved for me without any reboots
This is really bugging the hell out of me. Has anyone found a permanent fix?
Hi,
I've started to have a problem with my WP7 HD7 about a week ago. When I try to start the camera it flashes up so I see the controls for a second then they disappear, this happens using the camera icon and the button on the side. I was running the NoDo update when it first happen, then I upgraded to the Mango beta and I was able to access the camera, but now the problem has occurred again. Last night I reset the phone, wiping all the apps and settings but it still happened upon first boot. I also left the battery out over night and rebooted it several times today with no success. Any ideas?
Fixed it!
I ended up taking it apart and found that the camera module was loose, turns out its a common problem. Works now
