[Q] no dialer screen after flashing stock gingerbread kf1 and other problems - Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hey guys just had a couple of questions, I flashed the stock kf1 on both mine and my brothers captivate. I was on stock froyo and he was on stock eclair. i followed nakedninja's guide here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1127209. On my captivate i had used TB to restore my contacts data and on his i restored contacts data using the export feature in the contacts app. I also rooted mine using the guide and i left his unrooted. The problem is both he and I have the same problem where we will receive an incoming call but the phone does nothing but stay at either the home screen or what ever screen that you are currently on and just play the ring tone. There is no option of answering the call. I have to wait until the call ends for it to tell me that I had a missed call by so and so. Then I can manually bring up the dialer and call that person back. Also when I do get the notification at the top for the missed call, usually I can just click on the name and the phone will take me to the call log of that contact and all i have to do is tap the contact and it will make the call. But on gingerbread when i use the notification bar at the top to check the missed call and if I tap that name to call, it will not call that contact it will call the last person that was in the general call log which is weird. any ideas?
Thanks in advance

Anyone?
Can I reinstall maybe just the dialer or just the contacts menu or which ever one that is causing the problem? if so do i just add the apk to my phone and install or is there a different way?
Thanks

hmm.. 124 views and not one reply. if nobody has heard of this problem than can anyone who knows about reinstalling just certain apk's let me know if i can wipe the dialer and contact apks somehow and reinstall them. I am assuming the problem is coming from the apps themselves and thinking if i could just reinstall them without having to re-flash the whole phone that it might fix it.
Thanks

Dunno what the export feature in the contacts app is, but I never restore my contacts. After I sign in to my google account my contacts are being synced automatically. Maybe restoring contacts is the problem.

i think u shd reflash the rom again...clear cache..factory reset..and format internal sd card after and before flash...
just give it a try..might solve ur issue...trying wont hurt

wow sorry guys did not see that you guys had responded. stangri, killer_raj, thanks for your tips I'm going to give that a try and see what happens. i was wondering though, since i already have flashed the gingerbread bootloaders and dont want to flash them again, can i just do a master clear and then reflash just the rom using odin? if so which option do i check in odin? do i uncheck everything and only check one thing? is it the PDA, Phone, or csc option?
Thanks again

If you want to flash with Odin stock KF1 without bootloaders I recommend using this.

Downloaded. thanks prbassplayer.
i will give this a try a little later. a couple of other people are having the same exact problem as i am here. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1204823 ill let them know about this thread.

and yes restoring data & apps from tibu is cause of forceclose and freeze and lot of times...
not all the time..and when u know what u r doing...so just see after the fresh install everythin works fine..then dont use tibu...
the best n the cleanest..safest way of restroing contats and sms..which i always use...
from contacts..import/export...and export to sd card..u wil hav just one vcf file..having all ur contacts in it..so u can even copy that to ur comp for future use....and restore later when u done flashin..
and smsbackup and restore app by ritesh sahu in market..its free..and it makes a backup on ur internal sd..so copy it to comp or to external sd after taking backup...later after install put that back on internal sd..and install app and restore ur sms...
and i dont use tibu to restore my apps..i always hav the apk's i use ..so i fresh install after the flash...or i download them again from market..so i never had any freeze/forceclose problem ..after any new rom flashin...
replied the same in that otehr thread as well...

Kaiser: SMS text messages disappear

I am running ROMeos 4.1
Since yesterday, suddenly, SMS text messages cannot be opened!
I receive a new SMS: I see the header, title, sent time, etc: I open it: it is empty!
Also old messages, that I could open earlier, return an empty screen.
No warning, No error messages....
I have NOT installed new software.
Please help
Saulo866
The only thing I remember is that I performed a backup few days earlier.
Using SPB 2.0 backup
Saulo866
are there any suggestions?
saulo866
I have 3 kaisers, with the same ROM and same basic setup, same software. Only one show this problem: I see a new SMS coming, I see the sender, the title,..when I open the SMS I receive a blank page.
Please help
Saulo
I had this issue on one of my installs. I fixed it by redownloading the ROM fresh and reinstalling it. I didnt however restore a backup. I manually put all my apps and files back in in case it was a registry issue.
im also facing the same problem. The messages when opned are blank

What ROM your running would be helpful. Most likely can be fixed by clearing dalvik or wiping the phone and flashing a new ROM
fixed it thanks

Can't text

First, yes, my phone is rooted.
Now, I uninstalled the stock messaging app a few weeks ago, and was using GO SMS (I had been using Handcent but it stopped letting me open attachments months ago). It was working great at first, even after I uninstalled the stock app, no problems, now when my boyfriend sends me a text I don't get it, and the texts I do get come in in a pop up window and it doesn't notify me I have a new text (it just shows up when I turn the screen on). Also when I go into GO SMS the new messages aren't there, they have disappeared into thin air. The ones I send are there, but the ones I receive aren't there. I tried to update GO this morning and it totally uninstalled it (I did not tell it to unistall). Now when I try to install GO or Handcent the installation fails.
I'm running CM6, if that matters.
OK, rebooted and got GO SMS to install again. I was able to send, but still don't know if I can get them. Either my boyfriend didn't respond, which is likely since he's at work, or he did and I didn't get it... LOL

I seem to remember the stock SMS application was needed for both handcent and gosms to work properly. That would be why your incoming are not showing a notification or showing up in the app. Use a computer to open up the zip of the rom your using and take the stock SMS app from it and put it back on your phone.

If only it was that easy... I can't get my computer to recognize my phone when I have it plugged in. This is one of the reasons I wanted a new phone, but once again Sprint screwed me.
OK, got my computer to recognize my phone (my USB cable is wonky and doesn't work most of the time). While I'm not computer illiterate by any means, I am fairly smart phone illiterate and I'm not sure how to find the ROM. I found the clockwork mod, but can't find the ROM.

Open up the zip file of the ROM (aka the one you downloaded off this website and flashed), grab the stock SMS app (I think MMS.apk?), and ADB push it back to /system/app. Can't post too much from my phone, but search the board/Hero CDMA Wiki/etc, there are instructions on how to use ADB if you don't already know.

This is the right track. Take the zip for your rom, put it on your computer... open the zip and navigate to /system/app and copy the MMS.apk to your sd card on the phone, you should just be able to click the apk from something like astro or estrongs and it will install, if not, you may have to download the android SDK and push it to your phone. If your not familiar with that process, the alternative is to reflash your rom over what you have. You can do so without a wipe if your flashing the same rom.

If you don't have adb installed you should take a look in the dev section and look for my thread on how to install adb. It takes like 15 to 20 min tops. And it might help with your pc not recognizing your phone. Sometimes those htc drivers get outta wack. Hope it helps good luck.

Thanks everyone... going to try to fix the problem tomorrow, now that I finally get a day off where I don't need to have my cell phone operational and can take the time to do it.

[Q] Darkys 9.3 and Kies?

Hey guys,
its me again .
I have a simple question maybe anyone knows bout it.
First of all, like always i searched like ****.
I have the darkyS v9.3 and a speedmodkernel.
Now i tried to get my Samsung i9000, work with Kies 2.0.
But in the uper Corner, its just trying to get Connection, i let it search about 10min now.
When i do it on with just USB its connecting imediately.
Thx 4 sa HelP.
Kies is **** mate so don't worry about it. Kies connects for me on Darkys 9.3 rom
Kies its a known problem and i never found an actual workaround bar a different computer .
However its no loss as you can do everything without Kies and the only reason for Kies is the genuine firmware update route and you have locked yourself out of that with non genuine rom anyway .

Export your contacts to the external sd card or sync them with Gmail.
Now delete Kies as its ****!

[Q][Solved] Urgent Help Can´t send SMS

Hello Everybody!
My Girlfriend has a Galaxy S3 Mini I8190 and I rooted her phone to uninstall all the Google and Samsung bloatware with AppMaster.
Unfortunately now she can´t send SMS anymore. They just stay in "sending" and don´t go out. I guess it´s because I deleted also Samsung Push App. Usually I Backup the deleted apps. Since I never had a problem after deleting sysapps I didn´t save them this time.
Please tell me which SysApps are needed to send SMS and I also need someone to make me this Apps available to download since I didn´t make a backup.
your help is highly appreciated, have a nice day and thanks a lot.
P.s: I just saw that I also dont have samsung push, so its probably not that.
have you tried factory reset that should sort it & then go on from there, but be a little more careful this time...
solved

Thanks for the reply, I could solve it by myself. It wasn´t caused by any application I uninstalled but by disabling the messaging app with the autostart manager.
