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,
for a few days now i have something strange going on with my galaxy s. When i reboot the device, somewhere around the moment you can enter the pincode for the sim, the phone shakes one time first and and then two times as if there is something crashing.
After that all seems to be working fine... That is, until i notice up to two times now, an app went missing, from which i can't remember i removed it. After i reinstall the app, all settings i configured before for that app where there in place...
I am not sure if these two issues have something to do with each other...
I am running the stock Froyo rom 2.2.1 with the speedmod kernel (k12t)...
Is there someone out there who has an idea?
Thanks in advance.
Regards,
Mart
Did you recently change to the froyo 2.2.1 rom, and did problems only occur after changing?
Did you do a full wipe when changing?
Thanks you for the reply...
well no, i am running the 2.2.1 for a few weeks... As far as i am able to point to the moment it started it was just after i removed the battery when the phone was locked (i mistakenly thought it was off). After i placed back the battery and started the phone, i started noticing the possible crashing...
A day or 2 later i noticed an app was lost, the icon was still on the desktop, but it was a green android (like that from the market) and won't start. Because i didn't remember removing the app i looks strange to me. After reinstalling the app all settings i configured before where in place, as if wasn't gone for a while... That's why i notice it, because when i remove an app, i normally make sure everything is removed including settings...
Up until now i have found two of these in a strange way lost apps...
Because there was some time between the removing of the battery with the start of the first issue and noticing these lost apps, i am not really sure they are connected...
It seems that you have any kind of data corruption. If the phone shakes 1 and then 3 times, it is saying that some process has stopped. Also if you lost some app without your intervention... looks like I said. Consider backup your data, wipe and reinstall.
Good luck
Hello I hope you could help me solve my problem, because I have been trying to find any solution more than two weeks with no results. My girlfriend asked me to take a look at her phone Samsung GT i9003 because all her apps started to act weird and she couldn't see her photos. So I checked it and as she said, suddenly all apps started to crash one by one and then the phone freezed. I wanted to do factory reset, but even the phone restarted, it didn't work and all apps were back. Even if I tryed to format SD card. They I tryed another method to factory reset through dialer. Same result. Phone restarted and nothing happened. I have even tryed to run it through Samsung Kies, which couldn't recognise the phone no matter what I did. Then I have read something about starting the phone to bootloader by holding power, volume up and home buttons. Didn't work. Have anyone got a clue what the hell is wrong with it? She can't write messages, make calls, anything because it is freezing all the time.
bump. anyone please?
Hello lads! The last few days I have been trying to fix a huge problem with my Galaxy S4 i9505. I had been using the Google 4.4 rom for almost a month without any problem. One day, when my phone was low on battery it shutted down and I plugged it in my charger to power it on again. When it turned on I was prompted to the screen you see when you use the 4.4 rom for the first time. I had all my apps but everything was resetted. Every setting, all the app data, messages, etc. I thought this was a one time thing so I used about an hour to get everything back to normal again. Then the next day, same happened again. Phone turned off because of low battery, and everything was reset. I tried to google it but with no luck, so I did a factory reset and flashed the newest Google rom (4.4.2) with a new kernel called Ktoonsez. Got everything back to normal again and used my phone for a couple of hours before it just suddenly shutted down once again, but this time with almost full battery. When i tried to turn it on I was stuck on the Google loading animation and had to reflash 4.4.2. It turned back on and this time I decided to let the phone stay stock to see if any of my problems was caused of my apps or settings. It lasted for 2-3 days before the same thing happened again... I tried to flash different modems, other roms and firmwares but nothing have helped so far. I am also prompted with a message each time I turn the phone on which tells me that com.android.phone has stopped working. I have tried several factory resets, wiped dalvik, wiped cache, but still has the same problem... I have now given up trying and wonder if anyone of you know what I can do to fix the problem? Any tip is much appreciated and I hope to hear from you! Thanks!
edit: figured out I posted this is the wrong forum as this is for s4 active and i have a i9505. Sorry! Anyway, please comment if you know how to fix it. Thanks!

I know there is a lot of information on this, however my problem appears to be a bit more chronic all of a sudden. If anyone has any idea what this is (especially if it is a possible hardware issue), I would really appreciate it.
This started the past weekend and has been driving me crazy ever since. After uninstalling facebook on Saturday, I got the pop up. Rather than messing with trying to fix it, I went and reflashed the rom. While restoring all my apps, the error popped up again. Convinced there as something up on the phone or the sdcard file system, I restored back to stock 4.4.2 with odin. I rooted, went through the same restore process and after one of my reboots, it came back. Finally I searched and did "restore app defaults" in the application manager. That worked for a while, but came back a few times, until finally that method wouldn't fix it anymore.
Last night I reflashed with odin again. This time I didn't root. Everything was fine all day until I decided to uninstall twitter and the acore message is back. Doing an app reset did fix it again, however I am afraid at this point to reboot the phone or do anything else.
I had this problem maybe once about 3 months ago, now I can't get ride of it no matter what I do. I should also point out that I did not do a TiBu restore or anything, I installed all my apps through the play store.
Thanks in advance guys
Have you tried going into application manager and clearing data for contact storage? It's what I do when I get this error message

I did that, however it usually didn't work. I had to reset all application defaults and the issue usually went away. During one of my reflashes, even that didn't work anymore.
Seems like the issues started when either I turned off one of the bloatware apps, or deleted something. Sometimes the acore would start right away, other's after I rebooted the phone.
This last time, I got the phone setup, I got 2 acore's early on (Clearing app defaults worked both times). I didn't do anything else to the phone for a few days. Last night I finally rooted, installed safestrap and my other root apps and so far everything seems stable. I will just do a twrp backup before removing anything in the event things go bad again.
What still bothers me is don't know what caused this all of a sudden. I've been flashing roms for years and never once had this sort of problem. I will all set to consider this a hardware issue, until it finally settled down.
Hi there,
Okay, so I have been facing this weird and annoying problem(makes me sometimes throw the phone towards the wall, thanks to AHD solid build otherwise it must have been broken by now). Whenever I turn on the wifi and connect to the network, my phone hangs and freezes for like 10-20s and then restarts. It first started happening around 4 months ago and I have owned this device for more than a year. I cleaned flashed the stock rom again and it was fine and a week later it all started again. And the process of me flashing(Clean flash) again and freezing problem has become a loop. I have clean flashed like 5-6 times in these 4 months but the problem persists. I know some people say that this issue develops when there is a shortage of ram but I use the basic apps which I have been using for years. I clear my cache from time to time and have enough internal storage capacity always. I also have around 250-300mb free ram on average.
I have tried cm11, Validus, Lollipop roms on my AHD but they always have some bugs which makes me stay away from them. I like the fluidity and stability of stock therefore most of the time I stay stock.
Just yesterday when I connected to my home wifi the phone froze as usual and restarted. On restarting it automatically connected itself again with the network and froze and restarted again. This continued for like 10 times in loops, after which I immediately went into the settings and turned off the wifi as the phone restarted.
Please help me out, the phone has become unusable for me.
One thing more, I made a nandroid backup of stock rom JB 4.1.1 AT&T the very first time I flashed a custom rom on my phone and after clean flashing(format system, wiping cache, wiping user data, dalvik cache) I restore the rom from that backup. Basically I have never flashed the rom through RSD Lite.
So maybe I should try flashing with RSD Lite and see if the problem persists?
Seriously, would anyone care to help?
Or I'm just wasting my time here? Isn't this community built to help people?
It's not a problem I've had, but I'd say start from scratch. Go back to stock, then re root and try again.

Thanks. I'll try. Hopefully it would fix the problem
