many problems with diamond.

ok so i'm going to try and write down everything that is going wrong with my phone right now.
when i boot it up, touchflo will not start, i just see calender and contacts on the bottom. if i click on contacts, it takes a while to load, then just says enter a name on the top. with no list of my contacts.
i can not receive or send calls. i just had a friend try to call me and the middle round button and the send button blink, but no screen pops up saying i have a call. i try to press send and nothing happens.
i can barely send a text message, it takes about 10 minutes for the text message to load if it even loads. can't browse the internet.
calender works fine, google maps works fine, small games work fine, like teeter. age of empires will not load though. messenger will not load.
i can browse my programs though and go into file explorer.
activesync is giving me a message when i try to connect saying
"Activesync cannot connect ot the windows mobile powered device. to troubleshoot the problem, click ok."
the scan after says this
Unable to establish a connection between the PC and the device. Get up-to-date solutions to common connection problems. Please click the following link: http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkId=65257
when i was drunk and camping on the weekend my phone gave me a message saying it could not start because it was not properly turned off the last time and said i would have to press the volume button to restart it, which i didn't do cause i didn't want to lose my contacts.
has anyone else had these problems? any way to fix it? or am i just going to have to do a hard reset?
also i'm not sure if the Pim Backup v2.8 works for the diamond? i'm in there reading right now.

another problem i noticed is that when loaded a text message, if its the first text i've gotten from a number it loads really fast, but when i load one from someone that i've communicated with for a while, it takes forever to load if it does. most times it just doesnt load and freezes for a bit.

I think we need some more information. Maybe if you answer these questions, someone can help you, before you'll have to hard reset..
The ROM version?
The TF3D version?
What software, like lockers, screen rotators, key mappers, task managers, battery savers etc. are running in the background (as a service)?
What does Settings - System - Memory say about free program memory?
Anyway, PIM Backup works fine on the Diamond. Good luck!

[Q] Foce close error all installed apps not showing 2nd time...

Hi,
I have a rooted GT-i9000m (bell Galaxy S Vibrant). I used the one click lag fix to root my phone and it works fine.
A few days ago out of no where all the apps started auto closing as soon as i opened them and then both the menu and back touch buttons lit up and the screen went black. I held the power down till it rebooted only to get and error with com.android.calendar even tho I never use the app. When it finish's booting none of my installed apps are showing.
The first time it happened with com.android.app and I did a full wipe and factory reset and just reinstalled everything.
Ideally I don't want to system reset to factory settings again and lose all my files and notes that i copied back on to the phone 2days ago...
Please note I have tried clearing the data for the calendar app in settings -> apps and i cleared the calendar back up. My problem is that none of my installed apps are showing...
(Update) I also cant reinstall or update apps due to a Installation error - Insufficient storage. But there's room on both SD cards. I also set 850mb for apps when i did the one click lag fix and i don't have 850mb of apps installed.
(Update 2) I did a factory reset again this time i didn't format the internal and external SD cards. (It works like new again) Thus I got to keep all my personal files and ring tones ect. The only thing that was deleted that I didn't back up is my Notes. This leads me to my new question whats best for backing up apps on a rooted SGS (bell Vibrant)?
If anyone has answers they would be much appreciated.

i had the same problem
install rom manager from the market place
there is a option in there "Fix Permissions" just run that and it will fix it up for you
only takes 1-2min to run

Tried what you said but i cant install anything... I get Installation Error - Insufficient storage available.

I now understand the cause of the problem. I change my battery once and some times twice a day. At first I would wait for the long shut down (untill the screen goes totaly black) and then take off the back and swap out the battery. At least 3 times the phone would boot up and ask me for the network unlock code (I bought the unlock code directly from bell for 75$). I found this rather annoying so i tried just taking the battery out wile it was on (idle) and it appeared to work flawlessly at least 20-30 times before the phone would start to do an endless force close loop cycle. This kept forcing me to do a factory reset on the phone. I can only assume the one click lag fix and my disregard for the need of the shutdown before removing the battery must be all the cause of my problems.
I will try and see if my phone is more stable with out the one click lag fix.

nope that is not the cause of the problem
but it sounds like you are another victim of the lag fixes that is killing your internal SD card.
not the fault of the lag fix, it just make the problem apear sooner than later

I have been having a similar issue and I'm using Voodoo lagfix. I think it's because I took the battery out before it had completely shut down.

Well the phone bit the dust today. I opened up google maps to look up an address and it crashed with the usual error. So i rebooted the phone and now it stays stuck at the boot logo. (the glowing S with both touch keys staying lit) So i did the recovery thing again but this time I had to do the Vol-up + home + power in order to get the phone working some what. IDK but it wont let me log into my google account to sync my contacts. My APN settings are correct and working and I even tried off my Wifi at home. I'll just hope its a google problem and not my phone acting up. Thanks for the pointer to the bad internal SD. That may be the problem kinda hard to prove it to Samy thoe...

I get force close errors after about 4-7 days of use. Now its gotten worse. A few days ago I was looking up an address and my phone crashed and rebooted it self. It then hug at the S boot logo for 20mins. I got to my friends apartment building to find my phone still stuck at this boot logo. I couldn't remember his apartment number or buzzer code... Normally i just check my contacts list and buzz the code. I was standing out side in the Canadian fall cold wind trying to get this phone to work... OMG i almost just smashed it on the spot. Anyways I remembered about something i had read on this forum about the recovery mode ( i had used it to root ) so i tried that out got the little menu and tried every option before having to do the dreaded factory reset. Well nothing work with the exception of the factory reset it got my phone working in about 5mins... LOL
Anyways I thought I might try upgrading the firmware when I got home. What a mistake... I cant control my phones MP3 player via my bluetooth car stereo any longer. Tried everything even a factory reset and formatting the internal and external SD's. I tried running it with out rooting it again and with out the lag fix in hopes that I wouldn't get a force close error. Wouldn't you know it about 5 hours after the factory reset un-rooted just after i finish coping over all my music. I get a force close error! So I tried again and this time the phone ran for about 30hours before it started giving me force close errors about the email now...
Sigh I've tried just about everything in my power to make this phone work. So I assumed it must be the phone... I called Samsung up to get a RMA going... Wouldn't you know it they tell me that I have to call my carrier to get it RMA/repaired. I try to explain that I bought the phone with out a contract and bought the unlock code from Bell so I could use it on Fido. They tell me to call Fido... ROFL Fido wouldn't even give me their APN settings when i got this phone so knew they would be of no help. They don't even have one android phone in their line up i tell the sammy rep. So they tell me I should go back to the Bell store I bought it from to get it repaired/RMA'ed.
I doubt Bell will be of much help but here's hoping.
Do you think my phone is broken, bad flash, buggy memory, ect and needs to be RMA'ed?

Update...
I got my phone back from repairs 2 weeks ago. They flat out replaced the phone for a new one. This was a huge headache for me because the new one wasn't unlocked. Took Bell 2 hours to get the new one unlocked wile my wife waited out side double parked downtown! (I thought it would be a quick pick up and I would be out) The blue-tooth works flawlessly again!!
Much to my dismay the replacement phone has started acting up much like my first one did. It gets several force close errors a day and has gotten to the point where it no longer can send or receive text messages (using Handcent). The stock Music Player app also force closes at random with more frequently. It looks like I got another Lemon. This time around I did NOT root, lag-fix, or flash firmware. I will be sending it for repairs as soon as I can afford to buy another phone to use wile this one is off at repairs. My back up phone is a 3~ year old Iphone3g that my son has made his... (cracked screen, vol rockers dont work, power button is jammed in, the LCD screen it self is bleeding on the top edge)
The Vibrant never let me down other than as a phone. As a divx player or using all-share it rocks! I use these features A LOT to play my 720p divx movies on any TV or the projector in the bedroom .
with that being said I might keep the phone just as a portable movie player to bring from place to place and put my sim in something more stable.

Camera Not Working

So today i tried to take a pic and i opened up the camera app and it said loading... then just went back to home screen.
I rebooted the phone and same thing was happening. Anyone know what could be wrong? I'm thinking of doing a hard reset, but question...where do all my contacts get saved to? Or is there a way to restore them?
Thanks in advance.

I have had the faceboook app / marketplace etc not working and reboot has always solved the problems
I guess MS is not so good with handling multiple apps as they say..
regardless have you tried opening the camera with the hardware camera button? cause I normally use that and not the app button..
there is a possibility you loose your contacts... as for me my contacts are synced with google so i always get them back once i log in
thats a feature in android and i was happy MS has introduced google contacts to link with live.

I am experiencing the same issue as well, I recently bought my HD7 off of eBay, everything works great except for the usual earth-wide annoyances such as:
+ Horrible speaker volume,
+ Wi-fi cuts off when lock screen engages....
When I try to start up my HD7's camera either through the software (applications list) or the hard key, it comes up as loading....then quickly vanishes and I'm put back to the main menu.
I'm looking around the internet for possible fix but still nothing, here's what I've tried:
+ Hard reset, same issue comes up
+ Emailed HTC Customer service: Still waiting on response.
HD7 looks and performs great in my opinion and I'm now looking forward to the big Microsoft Update before I give up and head for another HD7 (risky considering this might be hardware, grr!!) or moving back to ANDROID...yeah, I love open source, can crack that
Here's the video link, see what I mean...

[Q] Upgraded to ICS scrambled graphics on screen (GT-P7310)

Hi,
I received the 8.9 yesterday and was very happy with it. Played with it for an hour and went out for the day.
When I got back home I downloaded and installed Kies on Windows 7, plugged in the tablet and new ROM was detected. Installation was straight forward and no errors, booted up the tablet and ICS was installed no problem.
Logged in via my Google account and updates started etc. The problem is the screen, if the screen goes off and I wake up via the power button the screens graphics are scrambled, you cant read anything. Looks like a spectrum loading screen.
If I hold down the power button to restart the tablet the graphics load up fine, I can use it OK, no graphical problems. If it goes asleep the problem returns (everytime).
I know I did everything properly, no custom roms were installed, programs that were downloaded via play are also used on my S2.
Rang up the online store for a returns but somebody is getting back in contact which could take 48hrs!
Is there something I should of done/could do?
Many thanks,
Mike

[Q] Issue! HTC One Crashing

Hi guys, i am kinda new here, hope i am on the right spot.
I recently bought a HTC One in the Netherlands. Its a beautiful phone! Already like it more then my rooted Xperia Z.
Today (The first day) i started installing my phone. Setted up some random things, untill i came at the Google account set-up. I already had one, so i chose that option. Then the first crash occured. The phone sent me to the screen i started 1 minute ago, the "Select language" screen.
I ignored that, and choose to set that up on an other moment.
When I tried to open Facebook, it showed me the logo, the logo moved up, but then it crashed and closed the application.
1 minute later, i tried to pull down the notification bar, but then my whole phone crashed! It rebooted.
I tried to update the phone software, didnt work. I also tried to do a hard reset, didnt work either.
The summary:
I cant set up an existing Google account, it crashes.
I cant open facebook, it crashed.
Sometimes, when i pull down the notification bar, it crashes.
Can someone help me out?
Excuse me for my grammer/typo's.
Lots of love.
Richard.

If you can get past the setup screens, do a full reset of the phone. But it sounds to me like the phone may have a manufacturing problem and needs to be returned for an exchange.

Hey Richurdt.
I know you're HTC One's issue was long resolved already. I wanna know how you fixed your issue. Because I have a very similar issue to yours before. I'm afraid that mine might be a hardware problem. I used my HTC One for almost 4mos then I had the same issues as yours came up.
I hope mine doesn't need to be returned to the store.
