[Q] Android.Process.Media problem again.

First, thanks to the developers and participants. Great work!!
All was well with my Nook Color with
CM7 7.0.2 stable, Google apps / market, Dalingrin OC emmc-040411
Then I upgraded to CM7 7.0.3
All seemed fine except I couldn't tether via USB to my computer, which I need to do.
Someone on another thread said that this was a known issue with 7.0.3. No problem, so I used Clockworkmod recovery to revert to CM7 7.0.2., then reflashed Google Apps and the Dalingrin OC to get back to where I started before the 7.0.3 upgrade.
Everything seemed fine except for the frequent error message saying that Android.Process.Media stopped unexpectedly.
So far, video doesn't work, Android App market downloads don't work and I'm sure they'll be a few more apps but it's hard to tell since the message pops up randomly (or so it seems.) The NC also seems to freeze more than normal.
Any suggestions as to how I get clean this error? Your help would be greatly appreciated.

Never mind, Knaries2000 answered it in another thread.
The solution was to go to Settings/Applications/All, find Media Storage and delete it's data, then reboot.
Many thanks Knaries2000 !!!

I wish I could say never mind! I have this problem also.
I just rooted my NC last night.
CWR 3.0.2.8
ManualNooter-4-6-16
CM7 nightly-206
Google Apps 20110613
I've gone into the setup and cleared the cache as stated above, rebooted...no luck. I also read on another thread to use CWR to clear cache also, but that did not help either.
Any other suggestions?

Missing Sms!

i first of all , i have an alltel. 3 months ago i was running CM7 i had no problems with the rom! i decided to get back to a sense Rom. i found Wildheroc 2.1 i flashed it. i notice i kept missing sms! and didn't detect my carrier! so i flashed back to CM7 (the same one) and i started to miss sms with that Rom too? then i found the new sense Rom from yesterday i flashed it last night, same results. i think somehow i messed up my phone from flashing back and forth! can anyone help me?

Try flashing back to stock using the HTC RUU. see if you still miss texts. If not, then go back to CM7 or whatever rom you want with Z4root.

try doing a full wipe and full format( wipe data,cashe and dalvic, mounts and storage, format boot,cashe,system and data you know the routine) do a full wipe again, yes do it again then reflash your rom, you should be ok after that.
i do know theres been alot of issues with the wildheroc's mms and sms. BTW, What kernel are you running ??? Just curious

[Q] Please don't ban me or yell at me! Problem with root on galaxy s I9000 2.3.5

Hi all.
Really sorry cos I'm sure the answer's around here somewhere, but not sure where to look.
Problem is, I had my 2.3.5 rooted and all was ok. I then had a problem a while back with Titanium (paid) backup that said that I wasn't rooted.
I've tried re-rooting and that didn't work, so now I've done a factory reset, cleared the dalvik cache.
CWM is still installed but nothing works on there. Can't install busybox.
Just want to take it all back to fresh and root the phone with the fastest ROM possible.
Like I say, I've looked all over here and various forums but can't find an answer to my specific problem(s).
PLEASE HELP!
Thanks

use this link to get a JVU based rom on your SGS.. it'll be rooted with CWM recovery and stuff.. after that you can choose to flash any rom on your SGS.. just follow the instructions in the op of the rom you choose..

Thanks Ishangoyal..
Just to reiterate, I can just install this on top of the phone as it is not and it'll work?

I would highly recommend this tutorial instead: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1379650
It allows you to upgrade to ICS.

You're a diamond - it's done! saved my phone from being stamped on! ;-)

[Q] Abnormally Slow Galaxy S Captivate - Factory Reset Doesn't Help

Hi, first of all, I am new to Android devices.
I am having a problem with my AT&T Samsung Galaxy S Captivate. Games and apps seems to be running slower than normal after updating to Gingerbread 2.3.5. I have rooted my phone with Odin3 v 1.85, but it's been running slow even before the root. (In fact, I rooted the phone so I could install a lagfix, but I can't find one for Captivate I897 running on 2.3.5).
Anyway, I don't see the reason for games and apps to be running slow because I've heard that the Captivate has a pretty good GPU. Also, it's not like I've overstocked my phone's storage; I only have a few apps.
I've also made a short video explaining my problem further. Just search "slow captivate" on youtube. I should be the first video: "Really Slow Samsung Galaxy S Captivate - Fix?"
I've searched everywhere for a fix, but I can't find anything, so I came here. Does anyone have an idea on how to fix this, or at least reduce the lag?
Thanks in advance,

I was seeing my phone work slower and slower on 2.3.6, I suspected that the developers of the apps I used were starting to develop for ICS and that maybe it was different enough that the updates were causing the apps to misbehave on older versions. I flashed to ICS just to see... and it was a great move, ICS on the captivate flies!!! I used SlimICS, I think it is the right way to go for Galaxy S phones...

Have you run any tools to see what is sucking up your phone's resources?

First of all, lagfix isn't really used anymore. Also, I would say to get rid of those task killing apps. They don't help and only add to your problems. A lot of the symptoms you encountered are pretty common, and I was expecting something much worse. You seem to be running a different kernel that allows overclock; which is it?
If all else fails, try ICS

Hey
I tried to upgrade to ICS with Team ICSSGS [Android 4.0.3]. I followed a step by step tutorial using CWM to load "ICS_4.0.3_MR1-RC4.2_Captivate.zip" and installation seems to go well. But after I try to reboot my phone, the AT&T logo comes up, then the "Google" logo comes up, but it just stays stuck at the Google logo forever. ICS never starts up. I've tried removing the battery and then going back into CWM and restarting the process but the same thing keeps happening. What should I do?

You flashed it twice, correct? Try wiping your data.

Yeah, I've flashed it a few times. Each time, before I install it, I clear data/factory reset, clear cache, and davlik cache, but it's still just getting stuck at the "Google" boot screen. It's weird because every time, CWM says it installs successfully. I'm starting to think that the .zip I downloaded isn't so good...
Do you know of a good, stable version of ICS I could use instead? Maybe even the same one you're using?
Thanks

Maybe don't wipe dalvik cache. That can sometimes result in that happening

I gave up on ICS... I could not get it to work for the life of me and it was getting me extremely frustrated. I almost bricked my phone (I think).
Maybe I'll try it again if someone could link me to a detailed step-by-step tutorial to upgrading to ICS. I'm very new to the way android works and a lot of the tutorials are just plain confusing to me...
I ended up reverting back to GB 2.3.4.
Thanks for helping me out though.

Try reading some stickies, there are some great guides. There's also one in my sig.

GUIDE TO INSTALL ICS, my way at least
Hey if you're looking for a good guide to putting ICS on your captivate I can help, The first time i tried ICS i messed things up and angrily decided that i wouldn't try it again and reverted back to 2.3.5, after carefully trying ICS again i love it so much. I won't ever go back to android 2.whatever.
I used CM9 ICS and have no issues or bugs. It's possible there are other better ICS roms but i prefer this one since i know for a fact that it works great.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1363760
You'll need to download CM9 v17 and a gapps package on your SD card.
trust me, ICS is worth it, it's much better than 2.3
if you have titanium backup backup your user apps (NOT SYSTEM APPS/SYSTEM DATA)
Rom installation:
First things first always do a nandroid backup so you can go back easier, if necessary.
once thats done go to CWM recovery and do a wipe data/factory reset, wipe cache partition. once that's done install the CM9 .zip package for the rom.
IT WILL STOP HALFWAY THROUGH AND REBOOT ITSELF, as this is the new kernel being installed. while it's still rebooting pull the battery and let it turn off, reboot straight into CWM recovery.
once this happens go back to install you CM9 .zip file again. it will finish all the installation after that. once it finishes the install you should definitely install the Gapps.zip. it will load up your google apps (market,gmail,youtube,etc and your google account sync) if you don't load the Gapps you will not have very much functionality to your captivate.
once you have your google apps installed you should be ready to fly with a fast responsive captivate. Hope this helps, it took a few trial and error runs before i figured it out.
If you used titanium backup to backup your apps you can restore APPS ONLY!!! don't restore any system data/system apps!!!! it's very important that you don't do that.
that should be it. enjoy your ICS, it's much better than android 2.blah

Fastness: CM7
Sexyness: CM9
That's the answer to everything.

I have run aokp (my current) and doc's master. Both have been great!
I'm far from an Android guru but if you follow the directions, you will be ok. Both also have relatively supportive forums if you get in a jam.

endomondo no longer working

Since the last update I can no longer install endomondo sports tracker on my htc hero.
Are there people with the same problem?
And even better, is there anyone who knows a solution for this? I realy love the app.
Thanks,
Jerodev

It probably requires android 2.2 or 2.3 as minimum version. And as i remember the last update for hero was 2.1. So i recommend root your phone and install CM7

I have tried android 2.3.7 and now i have 4.0.4.
But neither of these worked.

Did you wiped data when you flashed those roms ?

Yes, I did a factory wipe every time.
I didn't do the cache wipe though, is this a problem?

No, when you wipe data it wipes cache as well

Sorry for the bump, but I would realy appreciate it if someone could help me.
