[Q] Perception build 9.5 and phone service - Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi, I'm currently running Perception build 9.5 on my captivate and it seems that my phone randomly loses service. I've never had that problem at home or in the city with Eclair and my family doesn't seem to have this issue either so I can only assume that the perception has to do something with it.
When I'm in this state, I try to turn on airplane mode so that I could turn it back off but I can't do that either.
What can I do to fix this phone service error? I miss calls and don't receive texts until I restart my phone!

Airplane mode doesn't work? That's weird, perception is one of those ROM's that has a pretty huge userbase so problems that come out of the woodwork usually get answered pretty fast. I would try flashing back to stock and master clearing, and see if that makes a difference.
If it doesn't, I would try flashing over other modems(modem.bin), to see if you can find one that will give you service. You can do that via ODIN or a prepackaged CWM .zip flashable. Pretty sure Perception 95 comes with JL3. If reflashing/masterclear doesn't work, try some other ones!

Well actually what ends up happening is that it freezes and then as soon as I restart the phone, it restarts as airplane mode. It's pretty annoying. I will try first restoring 2.1 and then whos knows what

So I tried to restore my old samsung 2.1 onto my phone but it is stuck at the "DesignGears" Logo at the very beginning. I've tried restarting using the power and volume buttons and restoring again using the same image that I used but to no avail. I've tried to press the factory restore button on clockwork but didn't work either. I can't even get it to load all the way! What can i do?

Not knowing the details of exactly how you flashed your rom, it's hard to say exactly what could be wrong. From the sounds of it, though, something got corrupted in the process.
I had something similar happen the one time I tried to upgrade without taking everything back to JF6. My suggestion is to back up what you can, start over from scratch, and reinstall 9.5.
When you start that process, drop back to JF6 with Odin, then do a Master Clear, and only then install Perception 9.5. Going that route, you shouldn't have any problems.
Ad for your failed 2.1 restore, I'm guessing that you're talking about a nandroid backup? If so, it doesn't back up the kernel or the modem. You'll have to use some other means to get those reinstalled. I'd again suggest using the Odin 1-click to drop the original rom on the phone, then performing the nandroid restore from there.

thanks so much guys!
I did that as you said and used Odin 1-click to restore my phone and have installed 9.5. Hopefully this will conclude the thread. I will let you guys know by tomorrow. I really appreciate both comments and wish you guys happy holidays!

Actually, yea. Nothing has changed. My phone still loses signal every hour or so probably because of the switches. I wonder if we can contact a dev about somethin like this?

Most of the Devs that use i9000 or Vibrant ROMs for their base are aware of the problem. At this point seems there is nothing we can do though. I keep flashing things like Perception and Phoenix thinking one day it will work, but it never does. The only stable build for signal are Captivate based, ie, stock or Cognition.

Phone restarts by its self after flashing fresh 2.1.1

ok first off i love the fresh roms so im not bashing.
does anyone else have an issue that seams to be directly related to flashing the new fresh 2.1.1 rom.
when im in a call and end it with the power button it restarts the phone.
is this because of what i think it is or something else.
i wiped everything when i flashed so i dont know what else it could be, in the mean time i guess i have to go back to fresh 1.1 sense i cant find a fresh 2.0d download link anymore and i deleted my nandroid and the 2.0d rom off my computer like an idiot. uneless someone could point me to a 2.0d link

probably should be in q&a or fresh's thread but here is a link all fresh's downloads are on geekfor.me should be at the bottom
http://geekfor.me/category/android21/page/2/
I found that the restarting issue on my end was linked to the battery stats and roation stats. After i wiped those, for some reason, i stopped restarting.

Alright I did everything mentioned, above. i wiped the battery and rotation stats in ra recovery i even re partitioned my sd card and did a wipe data/factory reset plus the ext and dalvik-cache. then re flashed fresh 2.1.1.
also i am not using any other dialer that i know of. just the one that comes backed in the rom.
so why am i still resetting randomly!!! it even did it when i was doing nothing at all not just in a call like before.
this is on two seperate sprint htc heros that this is happening to.
anyone please help!

couple questions.
1. are you using any aggressive process killers, like the one found in spare parts?
2. what, exactly, do you mean by resetting? do you mean a quick 10 second restart of rosie, or a full on 1.5 minute reboot?

sorry i took so long to reply.
no process killers.
Im now able to replicate it restarting (not randomly) if i let the phone go to sleep by its self and sit for a minute when i hit the end button to wake it up nothing lights up like it should instead it does a full on 1.5 minute reboot every time.
on a separate thread someone suggested i try a different battery because whenever they put a different battery in it stopped resetting. (I was not able to try this yet because i don't have any spare batteries laying around)
I just find this hard to believe only a few people are having these problems and why no one seems to have a definitive answer.
This is kind of one of those bugs where I have to say it's something going on with your phone. Fresh Rom 2.1.1 has been downloaded over 4000 times. I restart mine constantly while testing things which means I am constantly duplicating your situation of restarting the phone, letting it sleep, and then turning it on via the power button, and I have never had this happen.
Please post a debug log of it happening and we'll see if we can figure out why your phone is doing it.
My sister had this issue even on stock 1.5. Rooted, added recovery still had it. Flashed 2.0d, still had it, went to recovery and wiped battery stats.
Haven't had it happen since. Now on 2.1.1 and all is well...go figure.

thank you for helping flipz, sorry for thinking it was something to do with your rom (foot in mouth). I now believe it a hardware issue related to any 2.1 fw.
This has happened to me on 2 different phones. Mine and my friends. Mine restarted "randomly" once i wiped the battery and rotation stats and it fixed mine. My friends on the other hand i could not get to stop restarting for the life of me. So i was forced to switch back to a 1.5 fw rom.
Point being it will take me a few days to get back over there and put a 2.1 fw back on it and get a debug log off of it. for now i can try using his battery in my phone and see if i have any issues. im crossing my fingers in hope i will so we can buy a new battery and see if it goes away for him.
in the mean time i can post a debug log for my phone but it probably wont do any good
i will try to post the results of the battery swap later today.
again thanx flipz i am confident with your help we can resolve this.
ok i thought i attached a error log but i guess its too big, so ill try zipping it and attaching it.

I kind of a noob, what do you mean reinserting the root file? i thought the root was the main directory not a file.
Also i dont know what "otwidhet" or "super pc" are, im assuming im not using them if they didnt come with the rom. right?
whoops, i forgot to post the results of swapping my battery with my fiends to see if i could single out a bad bad battery.
i didnt have any luck making my phone reset itself with his battery. One of these days im going to buy a couple new batteries put on in my friends hero and flash fresh 2.1.2 on it. Im also going to try using different radios on a hunch from a different thread i read.
i dont mean to waste anyones time im just busy and messing with phone is something i cant devote alot of time to especially sense i put a 1.5 fw rom on my friends phone and he no longer has any issues.
thanks for the patients in helping me guys.
ok im at a loss. i really need your guys help.
I put a 2.1fw on my buddies phone. put my battery in his phone let it go to sleep by itself and hit the end button to wake it up and it still does a reset. now i guess im not sure if it s a full on reset but it takes about a minute to reset.
so i put his battery in my phone and let it go to sleep and het the end button to wake it up and it also reset, now i did not clear the battery stats either and now after one time i can not get my phone with his battery to self reset for the life of me...???
no matter what bettery i try his phone will not stop resetting.
im posting an error log from his phone i got off adb using
adb bugreport > errorlog.txt
is that what im suppose to do? please help i would have been just fine with the 1.5fw on his phone but there was an audio issue that on some calls the person on the other end could not hear him.
does anyone know if the flipz audio fix will work for that or is that not a good ides?
Here is his error log, i hope this is what im suppose to post.
if anyone has any ideas about the audio fix for the 1.5fw that would be awesome cause now i gotta go back to that becasue i cant leave his phone with porblems.
Could it be that it is just Sense restarting and not the whole phone. Try using Fresh 2.1.2 with LauncherPro and see if you still have the problems. Make sure that you are not using the vanilla launcher in 2.1.1 as I had several instances where it caused instability.

[Q] cognition 3.04, phone force closes when a call is recieved.

Hello chaps,
I just installed cognition 3.04 from stock, and now I'm a bit frustrated because everything works EXCEPT when it tries to recieve calls. I did a little putzing around and found this person with the same problem, but it didn't help. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=918458 I tried getting the phone.apk from this thread here, but it will not install. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=10685612&postcount=861
Unfortunately, if I can't recieve calls, this rom is useless to me. It's a phone, after all. anybody have a fix for this that doesn't involve the words "master reset"? I don't care if I have to flash back to stock but I will not master reset. 32 gigs of music takes too damn long to sync haha, plus I don't want to have to reset all my tones/settings. I would like to stay on froyo, I like my flash player, working skype, and little pointer that makes it easier to pick a spot in text. (oh, and the whole "better ui" thing is great too)
I'm open to other roms, kernels, whatever as long as I can get everything to work, and not have to master reset

Depends on your knowledge level but it sounds like a reflash is in your future. Just flash to stock and reflash the ROM. if the problem persists, try another ROM. There are plenty to choose from. Please move this to QA though
You know Adam,
What amazes me is how you continuously help to contribute to the XDA community with your great FF, Phoenix and SN in addition to answering questions about other roms too.
We need more guys like you!
Looking forward to SN!

This was my issue too...I ended up going through all the steps to flash back to stock and then to cog 3.04 again. After that I cleared all the "caches" and did a master clear.
All of that may be a little superfluous but when I did my restore I did as little as I could because my suspicion was that the full back up from the stock rom was copying over some phone settings. So I picked through the restore items and only left on the apps and contacts left everything else off.
Sure could have if you reinstalled it with system data.

Yes that can definnately cause a problem
You are probably replacing the phone 2.2 with the version of your older ROM. The problem will show it self right after you reboot after restoring with TB.
Also what are you doing flooding the main forum. Either QA or post right in the Cognition thread.
A good rule of thumb for restoring things with Titanium Backup: If the name of the app is RED don't restore it. Only restore things that are GREEN or WHITE
Is your music only on your external sd card? If so, take your external out and master clear. Will only wipe your internal. If it is on your internal as well then ignore this lol.
Sent from my Captivate running Cezar's Continuum v.2.1 with SuckerPunch kernel.
I had this same problem. Phone would ring, and all I had was caller ID, but could not answer the phone. Turns out my Answering Mode was disabled. I don't know if the first flash to the ROM reset this or what, but once I reset to enable, I had no problems. I have since re-flashed ROMS and using Titanium Backup has restored my settings and have had no problems.
I have the same problem in mi Captivate. The phone.apk application hang up when I do OUTGOING calls.
For test, I unninstall the phone.apk and the SO always show an hangup for phone.apk and for messaging.apk applications. I have a Backup after that, and I restore it, but occurrs the same problema in outgoing calls. I didn't restore this application, but I didn't do a Master Clear. I try and post my result.
Otherwise, I have to rollover to Stock ROM.

Continuous soft reboot

All, having a weird issue. I was on the phone yesterday using an automated menu system and my phone restarted. No rhyme nor reason why. It did that repeatedly throughout the day. I tried flashing a new ROM version, Phoenix 6.0!!, with no luck. I tried a normal restart, power down and then up, running a virus scan, pulling the batter for 30 minutes and no difference. The phone continued to restart. I finally got fed up and my battery was almost dead so I turned the phone off.
The phone was off for probably 5 hours and I charged it while off. I restarted the phone and transferred all of my content off, expecting to Odin back to stock and reflash Phoenix. The phone seemed to be behaving so I left it alone and plugged it into the wall for the night.
I got up this morning and everything appeared to be good. Went to work and still no problems, phone had an uptime of over 12 hours. Which would be what I would expect. Had the phone on my desk and I noticed it had restarted. When I mean it restarted, it went back to the boot animation and then loaded to the android screen and performed media scan and all my apps loaded on the home screens and services started up.
I went back to Settings->About->Status and the uptime was 18 hours now. So even with the restart, the uptime was still counting. Needless to say, I'm at a lose. Can't isolate any event that causes this reset or any app. Could I have gotten something from the automated call system? Is something just weird. I had been running Phoenix 5.2 for a few weeks with now problems so I'm confused. Any suggestions would be appreciated. I will probably flash back to stock and start again but I'd like to isolate this problem if possible.
To the best of your knowledge, no apps were just added, our settings adjusted?
Either way I would odin flash master clear. May even run stock for a but to see if behavior stops

sounds like a problem with the infamous 850-1900mhz handoff....
if your signature is accurate, that modem you are using is 1900mhz only i believe....it doesnt support 850, so if you are in an area where its trying to hand off to 850, it will cause a soft reboot.....i have seen it a million times myself when playing with the first run of i9000 roms

Hmmm...I have been using an i9000 roms for a few months with no issues. The last modem I was using was I9000UJK4, I think? I don't know without flashing back, whatever came with Phoenix 5.2 ROM. I had zero problems. I only flashed to that modem/ROM, Phoenix 6.0, in an attempt to fix the soft reboot.
flash just the JK4 modem and i bet the soft reboots stop. what you have listed there is i believe a 1900mhz only modem....

I will try that, when I can find it to download but the problem started with the JK4 modem. I was running Phoenix 5.2 with a JK4 modem and only flashed to the new one in an attempt to wipe whatever was causing the data.
Flashing UGJK4 right now, I'll see if that fixes anything however I'm not super confident since the problem occurred originally with a JK4 modem.
Update: Rebooted once after modem flash. Going to wait for a bit and see what happens.
if that doesnt work, i would think its a problem with your hardware

If the modem switch doesn't work, I'm first going to flash to stock and master clear. If the problem goes away, I'll flash to Phoenix again. If the problem comes back, it'll have to be part of my SW. If the problem persists at stock, back to AT&T for a refurbished phone.
Update: Looks like things are pretty stable right now. I'm not super in-tune with how the modems work but is there a way to allow the JK4 modem to use 850 or 1900 speeds, like an auto setting that will choose the best one. I use SGS tools for secret codes so if its in there let me know. So far so good, thanks pirate.
Reviving an old thread because I am also having soft reboot issues.
Unlike the previous poster, I am not using an i9000 based kernel. I am running the latest leaked Gingerbread for the i897 (JK3), rooted via Fugu kernel swap method; the only other tweak to stock has been to freeze via TiBu the AT&T Tethering Manager. I am even using the stock launcher as I try to isolate what is causing this.
The phone goes through spells where it will soft reboot every 10 minutes or less, and then periods where it will go days where it is stable. I have had this issue with multiple versions of the 2.3.3 and 2.3.5 leaks and am nearing wits end figuring out the cause.
Before each flash (and I have flashed multiple times with different stock leaks) I am wiping data and cache via recovery (I do not have CWM installed), then restoring apps only via TiBu. I have tried to be judicious about what I reinstall, but have not been able to identify if there is a misbehaving one yet.
I suspect this is software and not hardware, since I had this problem on my first Cap and have already done one warranty exchange; the external SD card, though, is the same for both.
I've looked for kernel panic logs and have not seen any, and have yet to find a good way to trap what is causing this.
This is my work issued phone (does Exchange sync and has company policies sent to it), so I am loathe to go all the way to a custom ROM, even though I realize that I voided the warranty when I rooted and went to leaked ROMs.
Anyone have an ideas as to what could be causing this, how I can isolate the problem, and hopefully resolve it once and for all? Worst case, I could go back to Froyo until AT&T finally drops the promised Gingerbread update, but I had different issues with Froyo with Market updates not always finishing and apps on the SD card not always being recognized.

[Q] Stock Dialer Gone Bad, Used Odin and Kies, Still bad! Help!

Ok, so Friday morning I woke up and my phone was stuck in exhibition (desk) mode. I had to remove the battery twice to get it to boot into android and stay there.
This is a NON ROOTED Captivate. Using stock Froyo from Kies.
After I get it into Froyo, I went to make a phone call, and then the dialer sends the call, and vanishes. The phone freezes. The call goes through, but I now have no access to the rest of the phone. No ability to use the dial pad, or even to shut off the phone. I have to manually remove the battery.
After 48 hours I was pissed off. I'm out of warranty with AT&T by a month because I bought it on launch day last year.
So I used Odin to reset it to stock Eclair, and tested it, worse than in Froyo! The phone actually froze and the call didn't even go through! So I re-updated via Kies.
I'm back to square one. I have no idea where to go from here. HELP! I don't want to suffer this until the Galaxy S 2's come out here in the states, and I don't want to flash it to a custom rom if at all possible. Resetting it to stock should have fixed the issue if it was software, right? So it has to be hardware, right? But how does that make sense that only the phone function would be affected?
HELP!
Thanks in advance,
Tiberius Reign
^ Any recently downloaded app, widget, etc. that could be suspect ?? Anything come to mind that u may have done right before this started ??
I see u went to stock eclair, but i ask the above just in case u might have reinstalled everything after u went stock.
I tested the phone without installing any apps. I had a worse problem. The damn phone rebooted. I upgraded back to Froyo, and it became manageable. I saw someone else who was having similar issues with com.android.phone freezing and locking up all the time. Mine does it some of the time, and it's getting worse. I tried the delvik clear etc that was listed, and it still didn't help.
I'm kind of at my wits end here.

here are threads of other people having a similar problem that i have also replied in
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1204823
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1226807
i think would should all stick to replying back to one thread maybe this one because its newer, this way it can be easier for us to help each other find a solution to this problem.

How to restore to stock

I was just wondering what the easiest way to restore to stock is. I recently updated to gingerbread then rooted and then went to ginvervolt. Love the speed of it but now any text I sent doesnt get received so I need to go back to stock. I think this might be a phone issue but I still need to be stock to take it in.
Just restore the back up you made before you flashed the ROM
that one is still rooted I want to go back to completely stock can I just restore then use revo tool to flash back to stock?

You can get the system back to stock but your stock GB recovery is gone for good. Only way to get it back is to ADB push it from the back up that S.Meezy has. What I meant about the stock back up thing was it might be something underlying in the phone that a different restore, from a phone known to be working after the GB update, might fix. But yeah to get the system back to stock just restore your stock back up that you made. CWM is there for good until someone posts the stock recovery up and how to get it back into the phone.
I was afraid of that. ever since I rooted I have had the issue. It really stinks as my work dispatches through text.
So far You're the only person I've heard of having the issue of SMS not sending... Try doing a data wipe and then reflashing Gingervolt. If that doesn't fix it idk. Maybe mtmichaelson can shed some light on what to do when he checks the forums.
I have done that a few times and the weird thing is at first everything id fine then all of a sudden no one receives my messages normally a hard reset fixes it for a bit but then it does it again.

huh. I have a few questions.
1. Does it freeze up on your end or just not go through to the person you are sending it too?
2. What kind of service area are you in?
3. Is your wifi on? (idk why I'm asking this honestly it just seems like a good thing to ask...)
4. I was going to add a question here but as I was editing I forgot it...
and last but certainly not least
5. Are you using the stock messaging app or an after market one?

on my end it says sent but they never get received. My service area is pretty good not to mention I am a service person and I drive all day and it doesnt make a difference where I am.
my wifi is normally on but I have tried disabling t when this happens just to see what happens.
I am using stock messaging app should I try another one?

Yeah try handcent or something. I don't know if it will make a difference but it might

this could be stupid but do they make a handcent in english in the marketplace its all different languages
Yeah they do.. I wonder why you are getting weird languages.. lol

No handcent but try this
So I went back to my previous back up and I removed a bloatware freezing program and it seems to be working. I wonder if the program was blocking something
Wrong again around 8 am it stopped working again. called verizon and they are sending me a new phone. is there anything I can do to try and hide the fact that I flashed and rooted the phone
Looks like verizon cant hit send in their systems either. They tech that was supposed to ship my phone never did. great so i got another tech who said she did something different but hey look 10 hours later and it doesnt work again man this is getting old
Should I maybe use the froyo restore and then try upgrading again?

I think you should use LGNSPT (I think I got that acronym right) to flash the V6 tot. That's the only way to completely reset the phone to an "out of the box" state and rule out any potential software problems.
After flashing V6, see if you can send texts. If you can, do the OTA update to V7, and then try texting again. If you still can, flash GingerVolt and make sure texting still works. I suggest checking if you can text at every step so you can narrow down if it's a specific version that's causing the problem.
But honestly, unless your phone has a hardware issue, flashing the tot will fix the problem. I've got a gut feeling that somehow your radio got messed up during the update process, and flashing the tot is the only way to fix that or any other random anomalies that could be messing your phone up.
A hassle? Yes, but probably less of one than dealing with Verizon to get a new phone. Coincidentally, this is the same thing you'd want to do before sending your phone back to Verizon.
