First time poster, all, so be please be gentle!
I've got a problem that I've not seen anyone else ask about or reference. For some time now, my Captivate has not been ringing when I receive a regular phone call. However, it does: play media files with sounds as normal; play notification sounds; play game sounds; alarm sounds when the alarm goes off. In fact, the only sound-type application it has any problem with is ringing on an incoming call.
I'm not a complete noob, so please assume that I've checked all the usual suspects (silent mode, vibrate mode, using stock ringtone vs. custom, physical volume up/down buttons, rebooting, etc.) However, if you know of a more esoteric setting that could be missed, I'm dying to hear about it.
I'm running Cognition 2.3b1 or 2.3b2 at the moment, but I'm going to go out on a limb here and say that this problem began before upgrading, although I've been using Cognition before the Froyo update; I really don't think it's an issue with Cog, especially as I haven't seen anyone complain of the same symptom.
Is there perhaps some system level directive along the lines of incoming_call_ring=NEVER that I've somehow, someway triggered and just don't know how to undo?
Anyway, thanks in advance for any help! I enjoy these forums and the sense of community, even though I generally just lurk
If it really has been going on since before you flashed I think you know the answer to your question
Sorry to hear that.
Have you tried master clear? If it persists then flash to stock.

I haven't tried master clear yet, good suggestion. By this weekend I should probably be at just the right ratio of desperation vs time to give that a try. I'll post back here after.
Not just me!
It would seem that this is affecting a small number of Captivate owners. The solution was suprisingly simple and effective: push in the 'speaker' with your thumb. Guess the speaker isn't locked in as tightly as it should be, or is prone to short-circuiting. Haven't had any more problems since pushing it in, go figure!
Anyway, see this thread for more details:

I just updated my UK unbranded galaxy s to froyo (JPO) using kies (no hacks, just worked).
I'm now running into an issue with the notifications bar. It was working, then I went to the market and updated some apps, and now it keeps stuffing up. It starts off working fine then something happens, and after that I try to drag it down and it goes down a few pixels then stops. I have to hit the back button to close it in order to continue using the phone.
I thought it was launcher pro having problems with it, so uninstalled and went back to touchwiz. After doing that, it worked for a little while, but now its started it again.
Has anyone got any advice? I'd rather not have to hard reset if possible...
ps, I tried searching but couldn't find anything
I have the same on my international I9000 (JPO) every now and then, also usually after installing apps. Restarting the phone fixes it, but when it happens it's pretty annoying.
Here's assuming that you, like me, didn't wipe your SGS after upgrading to 2.2? I can't be bothered to reinstall everything right now, but I would speculate that after a wipe the issue is gone.

yeah I didn't wipe it, was really hoping to keep everything in tact, but this is annoying me so I'll probably end up wiping it unless someone has a solution for us
this has also been happening to me, anybody got a fix for it? i wiped the phone initially and then backed up the apps with titanium backup which might also be a reason. hoping theres an easier fix around this though!
So even wiping it resulted in the same issue? bugger
I'm also getting this. I did a factory reset before upgrading, so I don't think that's it.
I've found with auto rotation on and touch pro, you can grab the bar, rotate the phone and it will show you just enough of the notification bar to select what you want.
Is there any way to force close the notification bar and reload it with out restarting the phone?

I've gotten this problem a couple of times too. What's interesting to note is that the bar comes down fully and without problem if you activate it via <menubutton>->Notifications.
But of course, that's not available when you're within another program; only works from the desktop. So it doesn't really make this problem less annoying.

ha, yeah thats the same for me too, at least I can see the notifications if I really want to!!
I'm having the same problem with my i9000 with JPM. I upgraded with kies, installed voodoo lagfix and my notification bar freezes every so often. Also screen wont rotate anymore which is a real pain.
I am having the same problem with my galaxy s after upgrading to froyo. I upgraded using the reg edit hack as the phone was branded to 3 in the uk but got tired of waiting for them to release froyo.
Thought it might have something to do with that but i did a factory reset after the upgrade and it hasnt solved the problem.
very strange! any suggestions would be gladly received...

That's interesting because someone told me that installing Voodoo fixed the issue for him. He probably just hasn't run it for long enough then...
I had this, factory reset solved it. Just remember to back up anything important.
Do you have advanced task killer installed? Deinstall it (deactivate also would be enough)and install the version for froyo from the app store that made the trick for mine

Same problem. Usually experience after updating an app from market or when the market app update available notification comes app. I click on it. Usually it is Angry Birds. I don't update that. And then I start experiencing this problem.
Did a factory reset after flashing JP6. No lagfix. No advancedtask killer.
Have to reboot each time this happens.
please test this:if the notification bar is not working start the task manager kill one app after another and test the nb then make a ram clean and test it again
we could find out if an app is a reason(but i can't imagine it could be an app beside of an task killer) so we will have to further search for a reason (perhaps i will find something in the cernel differences (i am a developer but not for android and not kernel stuff at all)but i doubt that one too )) atm i am kind of idealess sorry

I had this exact same problem for a few days. It would irritate the **** out of me. I read somewhere that restarting the phone might work. And it did for me. So it might be worth doing. Just restart your phone, no factory reset or anything, a simple reboot.
I'm not saying this will work, just that it fixed it for me.

I was in the middle of a skype call just now. Skype decided to freeze. Gave me an option of force close or report it. I did a force close.
And then notification bar decided to not work. There was no app running in the task bar so I cleaned the ram. Still didn't work. Had to reboot.

It happens for me with the market as well.
smth has to cause it can u confirm that it does happen in large percentace of cases after force closes or does it even happen randomly? does somebody know a good log programm which we could run on ur galaxys so we can really see what happened right befor the nb doesn't work anymore(i think we need program activity and deamons running......)
sorry for my bad english it's getting too late and it isn't my native language...

it is the notifications that cause it. Skype was also running in the notification bar and market update also comes up in the notification bar. When any of those crashes and are force closed. Notification bar gets screwed.
Does anyone know how to disable the Nook library sync in the stock ROM?
It seems that every time I do something full screen, it stops and syncs with that grey box in the corner.
Update
Just an update.
If you open the library, hold down volume up and click Library, a button will appear. This will let you sync manually and it seems to delay automatic sync. It doesn't eliminate it though and it will pop up again, just later on.
If anyone knows more info on disabling it, please let me know.
That was one of the factors the led me to flash stock rom with CM10.1.
I believe someone tried to disable it but it kept coming back...
Combining this with performance and other issues with the already quite limited stock rom, I decided to rid of it permanently and go with CM10.1.
I was able to get rid of most of the BN malware as described in my thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2318487 but it took some doing. I tried CM 10.1 first but unfortunately for me, it kept complaining that "System UI has crashed" repeatedly when I launched it. My tablet now runs fine except the call-home messages that I see in "adb logcat".

I am using Nova Launcher, went into Library app, but wasn't able to get the button to show up.
Tried stock nook launcher, couldn't get anything to happen wheb pressing and holding vol Up and Library either...
You may not have this problem anymore and my response is quite late, but I only got my Nook hd+ few days ago. I too had this problem and I found out that freezing CloudService.apk solved the problem, but after freezing you can't click on anything in Library app.
My nook says sync is currently experiencing problems. It will be back shortly. That has said that for almost 3 weeks now. Is there anyway to fix it or get rid of it? I haven't been able to play my jigsaw puzzle game since this happened.
Hi all... I basically have two problems. First of all, I got the Z3C happily rooted... The problems are:
1- Tap2wake simply doesn't work, regardless of how I tap... fast, slow, super fast, thumb, index finger, etc... enable it/ disable it... same issue... refuses to work.
2- I use exDialer for my dialer... It works great (I've been using it for a couple of years)... the problem arises when I miss or reject a call. When this happens, Sony'x Phone apk (forgot the exact name) crashes. I have to acknowledge the notification of the crash and everything continues to work... strange ha?
Any ideas what can be going on? Thanks!
Carlos
Did you uninstall Xperia Home? That will cause the phone app to crash on calls as you describe.
I assume you have the option for tap to wake checked? Possibly you uninstalled something that it needs? Never ran into that particular issue.
Can't comment on issue #2, but T2W works flawless for me in 99.9% of the cases (with firmware .98).
Did you (now it might be too late) check whether both problems were there before you unlocked the BL?
What firmware version are you using?
Thanks.. Yeap. too late... already rooted...
Regarding #1, still doesn't work. Even after unfreezing Xperia home, which indeed fixes #2...
Thanks!!!
Carlos
so I've frozen some apps on the z3c, but I can't quite figure out which one controls the tap2wake function. I've tried the trial and error way (freeze/unfreeze), but can't narrow it down. Any of you have any ideas which apk controls that?
Thanks again!!
Carlos

Thanks Kev. What I ment to say is that I want to be able to ENABLE it... I have it ticked on, but since I froze some APKs, it's not working. I wish to know if anyone knows which one is it to unfreeze it (if that's the case). I've tried but I havent been able to figure it out.

I'm about to receive my third warranty replacement for the numerous problems I had with my Note4. Most of the problems are fixable (camera, GPS, etc), but one problem is bad and I don't see a simple solution.
Something seems to be intermittently stealing the focus from my app (I believe). So, if I'm watching YouTube, it randomly pauses because it thinks I've switched apps. If I'm recording video, it randomly stops, because it thinks I've switched apps. If I'm playing a video game, it pauses while I'm playing until 'I return'. If I go to the app-switcher, sometimes it closes randomly before I select which running app to switch to.
I actually bought a new SD card (64GB wasn't really doing it for me, anymore, anyways) but the problem persists. The phone does seem better behaved before all my apps repopulate (although there's not much to do on the phone before the apps are back), so I suspect it's an app, but I haven't heard anything about this sort of problem on any website or forum.
Lastly, the problem may have started around the time of the StageFright patch in August, but a lot of apps also updated around that time.
I'm stock 5.0.1 without root (maybe in the future), although I always disable T-Mobile bloatware like DT_Ignite. Any help or suggestions are appreciated. Thanks in advance.

Just a shot in the dark: go to Settings, Display, and make sure Smart Stay is unchecked.

Thanks - And sorry for the late reply (I don't remember getting a notification about a reply). I'll try your suggestion if the problem comes back.
It appears to be a problem with the Samsung Techwin app for their video cameras. For others, the app would just randomly pop-up during phone use, making the problem easier to diagnose. For me, it would just steal focus.
I uninstalled the app & things are back to normal.

Very cool you found what was giving the problem. I'll remember this fix as well, another tool in the toolbox!
