The other night I had tried metamorph to change my notification bar. First time it rebooted before finishing. I adjusted the time and reran it it said it had to reboot for changes to make effect and did.
After that it restarted and my wallpaper was reverted to stock and my market was pushed back to the old version the bar didn't change. So I fixed that went to bed (worked 18hrs that day).
Anyway I saw I didn't run the gingerbread version so it did and worked (tho the status bar kept fcin until reboot). My question is should I try and restore it with the framework from before I did it? Phone seems to be fine Im just obviously still new to android ****.

After updating to FRF91, I notice two things.
1) My phone froze at least 3 times since the update when I tried to make a phone call. I had to remove the battery and restart it.
2) My calls are now less clear even with my blue-tooth. When I call someone, they and I will hear static. Sometimes the static is really bad. (no, I am not holding it the wrong way )
Anyone have similar issues?
My Nexus One is NOT rooted.
stock 2.1 to FRF50(manual install)->FRF83(manual install)->FRF91(OTA install)
No issues here. Clean install.
I would agree it seems buggy to me also; it could be the manual update path of updating, but im def getting some wonkyness.
When im on edge at my house, it always seems like WIFI is on demand and not connected (This differs from what my phone used to do and i also have wifi to never sleep); so when i try to access something intially i get a network error then the Wifi connects; then i connect even though im on edge which used to connect albeit slow.
A slight jerkiness when I longpress to remove widgets; don't remember that one previously.
Very erratic battery life; seems to be due to network switching from 3g to edge to wifi; can't really confirm that though; not real rogue apps on my device that are running, but who knows.
Car dock has been giving some force close issues from time to time which didn't really occur previously.
FRF83 more stable
I was thinking of trying to go back to FRF83 as that seems more stable.
I will first try to do a factory reset and see what happens after that.

let me know how that works out; I may do the same. Maybe go back and ota update.
I applied the full FRF85B when I did mine, and wiped cache / format user data from the boot loader. That cleared up issues.
gmail stopped working properly for me.
I have had some issues with my phone freezing up too but my trackball would still flash when i got alerts. I think it might be related to trackball alert because now that I have uninstalled it i haven't gotten any freezes.
I did the factory reset and I no longer have any problems. I am still waiting to see if my dialing still freezes randomly though.

I'm still on frf83 and found that flashing the frf91 gapps has somewhat reduced the freezes/reboots.
My XDA app freezes for a couple of seconds before it responds. Is this app up to date for frf91?

1. Going into Gmail it takes forever to display emails (usually shows the "loading icon" for 10-20 seconds) as if it is only then connecting to the server and downloading new/old emails.
2. Caller ID still does not keep settings when rebooting.
3. Task Managers don't actually seem to kill tasks anymore. Have tried multiple with settings to auto-kill 10 minutes after the screen goes off ... 5 hours later the programs are still running. Obviously just KILLS battery life.

Yeah, obviously, you're using auto-kill, it probably tries over and over and over when they don't actually close.
Stop using auto-kill. Even if it worked you will get less battery life by killing tasks. Read up about it. Only reason to EVER kill something is if it isn't acting nicely and has a bug that keeps using CPU or keeps the phone awake.
Factory Reset works almost all the time
If you got problems after update you should allways wipe (factory reset)
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.
for some reason today when i restarted my phone.. it kept vibrating every maybe 10 seconds. i tried to respond to a text message, and the swype keyboard was no longer functioning.. it would show only the alphabet letters keys, but not the other keys. when i switched to default to the samsung keyboard it worked fine. anyone have any idea whats wrong? thanks
I don't have any answers for you but I also have that problem. I flashed the 2.2 kernel one night last week and everything was working fine. The next morning my phone started vibrating every 10 seconds or so. I switched to the Samsung keyboard and everything worked.
I sideloaded the android keyboard since Samsung took it out of their 2.2 build and have actually really liked it.

Very strange. I am running Cyanogen mod 7.02 and when I woke up this morning all of my home screens were reset with the default widgets and shortcuts that came with the rom. No other changes happened and all of my data is still intact, but now I need to reconfigure them again because i didnt save the layout. Anyone ever run into the same thing or know how this happened?
Thanks in advance for your input.
Logcat? That could tell us something
®patience is a virtue©
I had this happen to me less than a week ago with GO Launcher, except everything got cleared completely - all screens were empty. I have no idea how or why, but lucky for me I have maybe 4 widgets/icons on the 3 screens I have
At least now you know that backing up your homescreen settings from time to time is probably a good idea haha

Happened to me a few times. All my settings would be gone. Sometimes a reboot would fix it, sometimes it fixed itself after hours. It made me go back to froyo for a while. Now I'm running nightly 101 with fr 1.58 and 20mb cache and hoping I never have the problem again.

Hey all, I flashed the factory image last night and rooted again. Restores apps from TiBu and noticed some widgets are missing.
I uninstalled the apps and reinstalled them from the market and they are still missing.
I'm wondering if anyone else is going through a similar issue or if I had a bad factory image.
Apps/widget:
-TV Show Favs
-Any.do
Would someone please download any.do and see if the widget is even available? They don't even show up as an option for me....
I saw a thread yesterday where people were saying that some widgets disappeared but then after the phone sat for a few hours they magically came back.

Yep, exactly right. Either it took a half-dozen reboots, or crossing midnight, or some initial process after a rebuild that takes a long time. Not sure what, but after 6 hours or so, all the widgets that were missing from the list suddenly appeared for me.
Well I wanted to help you out sooner but I had to wait for the moon to get in the right phase before spinning a chicken over my head.
Glad you got it worked out.

I had the same issue. Some widgets I couldn't get back no matter what I did yesterday. Woke up this morning and they were magically on my homescreen as if they had never been missing.
