this seems to be happenning very ofthwn for my phone, and it hasn't disappeared even with using a different ROM or kernel.
I'm on tweaky's 2.3.5 JVS now, and I sometimes when I am in dialer and I type in 3 numbers, it just closes itself and shoots me back to the homescreen. it keeps doing that, and I'm unable to dial out because of this, until after a while and it irritates me to no end.
this also seemingly happens with me using whatsapp or Viber, where when I want to reply a message, after whatsapp has loaded up, it shoots me back to the home screen.
now, I've tries to get rid of my task killers, and saw no changes whatsoever, so can someone enlighten me on what's going on, and how to rectify this????
You say you did try a couple of roms, have you performed a factory reset or re-partition when flashing the roms?
Yes I did, all the time with Odin... Happenned with Darky, symply, simplicity, all of them
I wipe data and factory reset, even format the storage.
I'm not sure but as you said you've tried to change both rom and kernal yet there seems to be some sort of constant.
Are you backing up your apps accounts data etc and then restoring data? or the apps themselves? Because this can cause in-compatibilities.
If you do then start from scratch install only apps but only from market and one by one. Try play around half a day or something (or if you know a definite trigger see if it happens) if nothing then install another of your old apps.
Also have you tried installing no apps just use those that came with the rom. If it still happens after everything has been wiped (cache, dalvik cache, repartition, format sd, no external sd) then im inclined to say its hardware... When did this start happening?
Hi, thanks for the reply.
I back up my applications using Appmonster, and this retains just the program itself, I reset everything back to how it was after I wipe.
I'm not sure, I tried to think on whether its an issue with like lacking of ram or something, because SOMETIMES it behaves after I kill of some apps and free up some RAM.
I also thought it might have been a task manager which is doing it but uninstalled that and nothing changed.
I tried to install the programs slowly and individuality and it was a VERY slow and painful process, and it got me really nowhere, as like after i uninstalled and backtracked it still happenned.
I was wondering to myself if it was app incompatibility, as I have a relatively large list of apps installed.
It doesn't seem to do it if its fresh, so I'm not too sure myself.
Any ideas per se? Maybe a list of my installed apps? IDK I'm trying to find a solution to this.
At this rate I'm tempted to get a new phone
No harm in sharing the list of apps I guess, maybe someone more knowledgeable can give you a hand with that info.
Okay, But are there known apps that do this to the system? doesn't seem to happen for games but for Dialer and Whatsapp and Viber.
Everything else just works peach.
I just realised it might take more than a while, perhaps I will try a slow install of only the absolute necessities then.
I'm just wondering if I'm the only one who's encountering this issue. I'll try a week of the basics soon.
Thanks anw. :3

It happened to me too.
I am also seeking the reason.
But the latest ROM Gingerreal v7.14 was okay..
That's really strange then.
Perhaps its the combination of apps... I don't know, I'll try getting rid of the unnecessary and see if it'll cause the same issues.

good to me the same thing happened to good use Viber but not if I used other application in restored times I have installed from scratch I have used several JVS rom and even some custom rom and also jvr stock but it is more about the JVS rom because jvr step with me after a few occasions,
JVS install and initially as well but in the kernel changes and custom rom rom that has happened to me in all I've used lately.

I was using my phone a few hours ago (adding an icon from the application drawer to the home screen if that will help with solving the problem) when suddenly, the phone reset itself as though I had done a wipe from the recovery console. I had to sign back into Google and re-sync my contacts and calendar. All my settings were back to defaults. My home screen icons disappeared and changed to the default icons (browser, contacts, dialer, market, messaging, maps) as did the wallpaper. All my SMS messages were gone. Basically, it as was as though I had wiped and flashed the ROM for the first time.
However, and this is the weird part. Not only were all my apps still there but they were still installed. All the settings were lost but they were still there. I am not concerned with the restoration of my settings or anything like that. I've got that all covered with backups. My big question is why did it happen? Has anyone experienced or heard of this phantom reset? My ROM details are in my sig but just in case that changes and someone visits this post later, it will make more sense to them if I list it in the post itself.
Cyanogen 3.6.8.1 w/Recovery Menu v1.4. Radio v2.22.19.26i. A2SD on 550MB ext2 partition. Compcache enabled/24MB.

Well, I can tell you why your apps survived, because you have them on sd card so that's not weird, you can wipe all you want and they will survive.
I would say this is a glitch, don't worry about it unless it happens again.

Yes, the apps on sd being the reason I didn't lose them makes sense. I had a different problem losing apps on the sd when I wiped but that was a mistakes in the way I was slinking and it was also on JF1.51 (a2sd is very unstable on that ROM). Anyway, I'm seriously hoping it was just a one time glitch because my setup is voodoo smooth otherwise. I finally got my G1 running perfectly and I'd hate to think something was wrong. Either way, Nandroid is always an option.
Phantom Reset Not a Glitch. Happened Again!
OK. So it happened again. The phantom reset that I described in the first post happened to me again. It's pretty annoying to have to perform Nadroid restores all the time. Anyone have any real thoughts other than telling me it was a fluke?
Possible Answer
I am pretty certain that this happened right after I used Backup for Root Users. I have my identical setup on my father's G1 and this has never happened. He has told me in the past that he does not use that app. I don't want to instantly blame the app but I want to provide as much info as possible. Cyan's ROMs are too good for this to be an issue.

The dev has reported that it has issues (if you can replicate the errors, send him a logcat)
hes on the forums on this site
SOLVED
Thanks a lot. I will try and write-up (on dev's site) of what I was doing when it happened. It happened to me twice so I don't think I will use it again (at least until it's fixed). I am a backup freak so I like to use multiple apps but nandroid seems to cover it all. I will stick with what seems to work (and work well) for now.
On a side note, Cyan's latest looks too juicy not to try out. Going to upgrade now.
However ironic the title may be, I updated my fiance's non-rooted N1 to the official release froyo and from the very beginning, it will work for a few seconds, then it will just freeze for a few minutes. I have patiently gone through and stopped almost every process, and nothing will fix it. It still just freezes constantly and usually requires a battery pull to get it to work at all. I told her she could try a factory reset, but she would rather just go back to 2.1-update1. I'm going to try renaming 22607-ERD79-update-nexusone-stock-signed.zip (or PASSIMG_Passion_Google_WWE_1.01.1700.1_ERD79_release_signed.zip) to update.zip and reflashing it in the stock bootloader on her phone, but I feel like that won't work because it is a previous version and not really an update. Does anyone have any advice on how to just bring her back, or perhaps how to fix her freezing problems on froyo?
Thanks
Try a fresh flash with no apps installed and see how its doing.... if it doesn't freeze then its a app probably ...
I'd like to try that, but she doesn't want to do a fresh install. I'd imagine that if an app didn't freeze 2.1, it wouldn't freeze 2.2. Besides, 2.2 freezes even after killing all applications and services.
I guess I'm really looking for advice on getting it back to 2.1 without rooting her phone.

Just do a factory reset in settings and security ... no reflash. Just cause a app didn't freeze 2?1 doesn't mean it wont freeze 2.2. And even if the apps currently not running or closed, it'll still wack ya phone. I had a freeze every hour yesterday with my chosen apps installed, flashed 3 different times to no avail. Now I factory reset with only 4 definitely needed apps installed and haven't gotten a freeze yet. So my conclusion is 2.2 doesn't like something I've installed so I'm adding a few apps every hour to fins the cause.
Since I factory reset with my few apps. I haven't had a freeze yet all night and morning long..
I'm having the same issue too. Not sure what is going on with FRF91, but my phone keeps freezing and I need to pull the battery to get it to respond again. I agree it very well could be an application, but installing every application one by one and testing would be a pain. Is there a better way to figure out what is causing the phone to lock up? Any time of log on the phone that would be helpful?

Have you tried a factory reset? That might fix it... let us know what you find. I've noticed a couple of freezes as well, but I'm not able to factory reset it just yet because I'm out of town and don't want my phone down for even half an hour.
I have to pull battery a couple of times a day.
I'm having the same issue on 2.2. I have done 2 factory resets. Nothing. N1 call center said slowly reinstall all apps to see if an app may be doing it. No luck.
Is anyone having issues with the screen still being responsive while on a call? My screen will go black but you cant still hit keys when you have up against your face.
I'm betting that you do not have a custom recovery and nandroid backup, or you wouldn't be asking.
I highly doubt that the phone will let you push the old firmware on top of the new one if you don't have a hacked recovery and a test-signed zip. But I don't know - you could try it...
Here is what I would do:
1. Install a custom recovery (like Amon-Ra 1.7.0.1), either by unlocking the bootloader, or by following the directions in the dev forum for doing this without unlocking if you have the fear. If you already a custom recovery, don't worry about this step.
2. Now boot into recovery and make a nand backup!
3. Now go ahead and try this one of two ways - either delete one application at a time until you figure out which one is killing you, OR do a factory reset and then re-add one application or a small number at a time until you figure out what is crashing you.
If it were me, with my 100 applications, I'd probably add 5 or 10 at a time. Once you get crashes after one group, try removing those applications one at a time until the crashes stop. The last removed app when the crashes stop should be the answer.
Of course, since you'll have to have adb running to get a nandroid, you could also just take a logcat of the running, crashing phone and see what app is killing it there.
I did a factory reset today and will report back letting everyone know if that has fixed the issue. Everyone else that is experiencing the freezing issue, did you have Beautiful Widgets installed?
I have that installed, is that whats cousing it?
Beautiful Widgets was killing my N1, too. Freezes, sluggishness, etc. I uninstalled and wiped my cache via stock recovery. No problems since.
I'm on stock FRF91 BTW.

It appears that's the root of my issue. I would uninstall the application and clear the cache and see if that helps. Report back with your findings.

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
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.

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.

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.

This should have been posted in Cognition Q&A.......
Long time reader, first time poster (hello everyone!). I was wondering what the opinion of the folks here might be and if they've any suggestions. Today my rooted Nook Color suddenly started acting up. Applications are very often not responding as they should, bringing up the 'Wait' and 'Force Close' box (happens when pressing the soft back and menu buttons as well). It's really quite weird, earlier today I was using it just fine, and suddenly it started acting like this. I tried the usual things like fixing permissions and clearing the dalvik cache, nothing helps. Also, annoyingly restoring a backup from a previous 'known working' state didn't help either. (I suppose I should note that I'm not running CM7 or anything like that)
Any suggestions or ideas on what could have happened? Should I perhaps return it to stock and try to exchange it for a new one (I've only had it for about a month)? The fact that it seemed to still be happening when I restored a back up makes me wonder if it's some kind of hardware issue.
The thing driving me crazy is how it's so suddenly acting strangely. I've been using it rooted (and overclocked, on dalingrin's excellent kernel) just fine for about a month and it's never seemed unstable or anything.
I forgot to mention (not that it probably matters) but the volume buttons caused the wait/force close thing too. Guess I'll be calling them tomorrow.
Having same problems. And VERY SLOW. Wait or Force Close
Very weird, but I noticed today that it started acting flaky in my Nookie Froyo 0.6.8.
I installed Amazon's app store on there today and angry birds rio. The apps seem to be okay, but general opening and navigating are herky jerky.
Something else that is weird, I was just using it and it completely locked up on me to the point of needing to do a hard shutdown by holding down the power. At the exact same time, I happened to look at my phone and it also had rendomly rebooted itself at the exact same time. My phone is running CM7 (Droid1).
Coincidence?
HI,
I had a variety of problems with similar symptoms as you describe, but I had
been playing with several uSD installs of HC/Froyo/CM7 internal/Froyo internal etc.
I believe that the main cause of my problem was due to an interaction between
the EXT3 and EXT4 formatting of the cache partition. The solution for me was to
reformat the cache partition for my current installation.
Other threads I looked at made suggestions such as:
Reformat the cache partition.
Clear the Dalvik cache.
Run ROM manager and select fix permissions.
Not sure if any of these are relevant to you though.
Good luck.

Try installing a custom ROM (not a backup), making sure to clear everything before install. If it still happens, then yeah it sounds like a problem with the device itself. I've had this problem on my Droid twice and it ended up being (the first time) an app I downloaded and (the second time) an app that I updated. It made the whole phone unstable!

All I'd need to do to install Froyo from here is format/factory reset everything with clockwork and then install the zip from within CWM, correct?
Couldn't get it to work for some reason. Since I wasn't sure, I decided to format data, cache, and system, then use one of the excellent "Nook Color Restore to Stock" zips. It seemed like it was ok (couldn't test it more since I forget my B&N password and evidently made a typo when tying my mother's maiden name ), decided to try that back up again since I knew the back up worked at one time with no problem (and the md5 was fine, so that shouldn't have changed) and it worked fine for maybe 20 minutes, but now it's weird again.
I'll have to try Froyo again tommorow when I'm hopefully less out of it. I suppose that's probably a more meaningful test.
I know I said I was going to install Froyo, but I decided to try bringing it back to stock and re-rooting it from scratch. I've been using it for a while (reinstalling apps, changing settings back...etc) and it's worked absolutely fine. Been using it on and off for a few hours.
I'll be sure to really bang on it today to make sure it's stable, but so far so good.
I think I can declare it stable. Thanks a lot to all who helped out. I wonder what happened? What a strange, strange problem.

Glad to hear! I actually just had a similar problem (again on my Droid) that it ended up being the ROM, but yet everyone else I know had no problem on that rom....just goes to show you Android is different for every unit.
