I suspect my issue is a problem of the phone not remembering some settings. I am using the latest CM7 nightly as of this morning (155), but this has been an issue for quite a while.
If I am having only one problem, it manifests itself in a several ways...
1) My facebook contacts won't STAY in sync. Every time i turn my phone on, I have to re-sync my facebook contacts if I want to see them.
2) The first time I send a text from outside the SMS program (sending a text via Vlingo for example) after a reboot, the system asks me which SMS program I want to use. It remembers that choice until the next reboot - when I have to chose again.
3) The first time I tap an internet shortcut, the system asks me which browser I want to use. It remembers that choice until the next reboot - when I have to chose again.
4) I have to re-sign into Twitter the first time I open it after every reboot.
There are other similar issues - none major, but annoying nonetheless.
What am I missing? I've gone through all my settings and can't find one for "Remember all my $hit" . I've run the phone with sync on, and I've run it with sync off - still the same results.
Any help would be appreciated.
I had something similar happen at one point about 6 months ago. I ended up (after much trial & error) just reflashing the whole danged thing....my sd card, recovery, and rom. No issues since.
Not sure what happened, although that was the time I was really flashing lots of different ROMs.

I tried this yesteday morning. As you suggested, I formatted everything including the memory card. Twenty-four plus hours later, everything is working fine.
Thanks for the tip.

I have flashed this rom onto my phone twice, both times working fine for maybe 3-4 days, after which the messaging fails to initiate when I attempt to open it. Not only do I not receive email or text, but I cannot even open the app to read any messages already there. The first time I thought I might have messed something up, but it happened again when I wasn't even using my phone. I've tried soft resetting to no avail. I don't want to hard reset every time this happens, for obvious reasons. Can this be corrected in the registry? I don't understand why this is happening, but any help is very much appreciated.
Whenever I had problems with the Messaging app not opening, it was because I was saving attachments to the Storage Card, and somehow, the card became corrupted. Once I stopped doing that, I didn't have any more issues.
For what it's worth, the problems with the storage card getting corrupted stopped when I stopped syncing the phone via USB and went Bluetooth/OTA only.
yes
im having the same thing happen.. any update?
How about you say which rom you are using .... That info would be greatly helpful in your question. There are many touch it roms.
I've flashed my phone maybe 4-5 times since getting it a couple of weeks ago. and the last time i did it was after using it for a few days, so had all the settings for the programs, ringtones, email accts, alarms, wifi settings set up etc.
then ran into a problem and had to reflash, and it took me forever to basically get all my settings back. i vowed to never flash again as long as the rom works fine. well, now there are a few major issues (bluetooth not working, camera black screen) for me and either i'll have to hard reset or flash to a new rom (might as well if i'm going to hard reset anyway). and i'm already dreading the long process of getting the phone setup again.
for those of you that seem to flash every few days constantly, how do you do it? do you just suck it up or get used to putting in all the diff settings?
spb backup could be the thing you're looking for?
i personally dont use it because i dont flash all the time..
I believe certain backup software titles allow you to restore files specifically after a ROM upgrade, I'm not sure how effective this is though.
Also, look out for the UC compatible ROMs. With a bit of knowledge, you can automate quite a lot of things including installing apps, registry cabs, settings etc. It can take a while to setup the script initially but once you have it mastered you can make use of it on different ROMs.
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
My warranty expired, so I figured why not root... but it's turned out to be quite the ordeal to get things back in working order.
I unlocked my bootloader, flashed amon ra's recovery, and then tried to flash a pre-rooted gingerbread rom from another sub-forum. I got stuck on the "X" after a reboot, and couldn't get past that after several attempts, so I tried flashing CyanogenMod 7.0.3. That worked, but it really wasn't what I wanted.
A little frustrated, I used the passimg.zip method from the wiki to go back to froyo and let it update back to gingerbread. But the gingerbread update kept failing immediately upon trying to download it. I told it to factory reset and format my sd card, which seemed to fix it enough to download and update successfully.
But now I can't seem to add contacts to my phone. It says the contact is saved, but it doesn't get added to the list. If I dial manually, the name I saved shows up like normal during the call, but is still not displayed in the contact list. I tried loading contacts from my SIM card, but same thing, says they are saved, but nothing is displayed in the list. I looked for settings that may hide them, but couldn't find anything.
I've tried several factory resets now, and reflashing amon ra to preform wipes, but it's the same every time. I can add contacts immediately after a reset's first boot and have them display normally, but if I let the screen timeout, new ones fail to display when added afterwards. Rebooting seems to have no effect.
I feel like I'm missing something simple here, but I can't for the life of me figure out what. It worked fine prior to me mucking with it.
Any ideas on what I can do to solve this?
Accounts and settings. Sync contacts.

I really didn't want to do that, but for some reason it worked.
It added my phone contacts that already displayed normally to "my contacts" in my Gmail account, the ones I added later that refused to display on the phone were added to "other contacts".
Since the sync, I can now add numbers to my phone and they display normally... but why did it do this in the first place? I assume it was something I did when setting my phone back up the way I like it, but what?
I really want to avoid doing it again in the future, it's an annoying step go back into gmail and delete my phone book from it when my N1 borks up like this.
Guys I have some issues with my s advance. They all started when I flashed cm10.2, but I also encountered them in cm11, and now in stock jb (now my phone is not even rooted).
The main issue is the internal storage space (ROM memory) which after a period of time gets full although I don't a lot of apps. The first time when I had the problem it appeared after about a month of using cm10.2, then even sooner in cm11, then after a couple of days in stock jb, and today after a couple of hours (about 4). The only solution I managed to find till now is flashing a new rom or doing a factory reset, but I don't want to do this every couple of days. Today it happened even though I had only one app instaled besides the ones that come with the stock jb. First time I thought that it had to do with cyanogenmod os, then with the fact that my phone was rooted and I had a lot of apps instaled, some of them not from google play, but since I reflashed jb I didn't even root the phone. So if you have any suggestions about this problem please let me know because I don't know what to do.
The second issue has the same story behind it, meaning that it appeared in cm10.2 and I don't know what it causes it and how to solve it. So the phone restarts itself usually when is not used for a period of time. For example in the morning after I wake up, but during may night shifts at work (where I dont't sleep) it nevere restarted. Also during the day if I don't use the phone for a period of time I found the phone restarted. The frequencyof this problem is variable, sometimes a couple of time in a day, sometime one time in a couple of days.
I mention that at home my phone is always connected to the internet via my wireless connection. I don't know if this has something to do with it, but when I searched the web for my problems some users where suggesting that the phone stores some data over the wifi connection. Also some where suggesting to install es file explore and find the folder or folders that occupies the space but es file explorer does not show how the internal storage is occupied by files and folders. There weren't a lot of result when I searched for my issue but there were complains of similar problems with different models of phones, most of all galaxy s2 and some htc.

You should do factory reset when you change ROM. On CM10.2 there might be still some problems - yes reboots happen some times. So I suggest you to use CM10.1 or CM11.
You can use this to see what uses most of the space on internal memory. With space you get how much space is occupied in folder.

hmmm
So you are saying that I should flash a new rom for example cm11 than I should do a factory reset from recovery? It may be possible that I had already done this but I will try i again because I got nothing to lose.

And to see what do you have on internal memory manualy.
