I have some overall question my phone has been acting weird last couple of days and I figure its time to go custom rom. I don't know who makes the best I want to go bleeding edge to get the most out of my phone. Also when the hell is that big update coming I want to be totally uptodate on thing before I say bye to stock rom. I have my apparently back up and my contacts and the software to go back to stock just incase is there anything eles I need to do.
If you are wondering what I meant when I said my phone is acting weird It is think an app is uninstalled when it not and when I go to reinstall it then acts like its there again and thing seem to be doing stuff slower. The only thing that is doing that is the gallery app.

Hi all,
for some reason, when i mess around with my phone, and install stuff, the people tabs stops working, and its starting to really bug me.
It seems that when i install stuff it happens, like just now. I had some themes and a font installed, and the phone was running perfect, and now, i just installed something else, and the people tab has died!
Does anybody know of the reason for this? Do i have a faulty phone?

I dont have any problems with this phone what so ever (using Duttys latest 2.5). To me it sounds like your installing faulty applications.
Its nothing that loads of people on here havent installed on their devices!
then you must be doing something wrong because this is the first i've heard of this problem
Actually I have the same problem. For some reason the entries of faforite people dissapear from the people tab. I run a stock Dutch ROM with nothing special...
Anybody know a solution?

Yup thats exactly what happens to me. Do you get an error report and then it goes back to the home screen and says launching touch flo 3d?
I run a stock ROM, and its really bugging me, because the good thing about win mo is that ability to install these kinds of apps, but im afraid to because the chances are it will bring back this errror.
I really don't understand why plp stay with crappy/buggy old roms... just because they are official... you should spend 10 minutes to cook one of the newest roms here around and you'll see how many steps they are forward to "official" ones

Agreed....I hate to say this gents, but the original ROMs that HTC publish are not as good as you think they are
If I were you I would pick a resectable ROM that looks like what you require, set your PDA up and "flash" away all the quirks and bugs that HTC introduce to the device!
I know its not right, but thats life with HTC.......
Official ROMs are fine.... until you find this forum
then you start installing apps... tweaking... uninstalling... it all gets messy.
You baisically try and create what custom ROMs do on top of a 'Official' ROM. Best advice is to Flash a ROM, you can always put it back to 'out of the box condition' by flashing the SPL and Official ROM back (i've had to twice for repairs )
if you are talking about your favorites clearing, that happened to me when i moved the people tab. i bet your favorites are hard coded to that location so moving or altering it messes it up in some way.
I've tried CyanogenMod, I really have. I just can't seem to get it going correctly without HORRIBLE slowdowns and other crap that just doesn't make it worth it to me.
For example, I would be in an app or doing something else on my phone, then I exit the app. I pull up my app list to find ALL of the icons bunched up in the top left corner. They then SLOWLY start to space themselves out, as if they were all reloading one by one. This was one of the many problems I had with CM that just made me go back to legit.
Other problems included slowdowns in just about everything else I did, and the Market FCing every time I tried to open it (probably unrelated, but I'm not sure).
I'm wondering if I may have done something wrong (even though I followed the steps perfectly, and I'm hardly a 'noob' at this kind of stuff), or if that's just how it's going to run on a G1.
I just want a custom rom, preferably with Apps2SD (most roms have it nowadays, right?), that won't run like crap on my phone. I hope that's not asking for too much. :]
bump?
I really want to get this thing upgraded again, but without being slow..
Try superF or sparksmod there pretty fast
Ok, so Friday morning I woke up and my phone was stuck in exhibition (desk) mode. I had to remove the battery twice to get it to boot into android and stay there.
This is a NON ROOTED Captivate. Using stock Froyo from Kies.
After I get it into Froyo, I went to make a phone call, and then the dialer sends the call, and vanishes. The phone freezes. The call goes through, but I now have no access to the rest of the phone. No ability to use the dial pad, or even to shut off the phone. I have to manually remove the battery.
After 48 hours I was pissed off. I'm out of warranty with AT&T by a month because I bought it on launch day last year.
So I used Odin to reset it to stock Eclair, and tested it, worse than in Froyo! The phone actually froze and the call didn't even go through! So I re-updated via Kies.
I'm back to square one. I have no idea where to go from here. HELP! I don't want to suffer this until the Galaxy S 2's come out here in the states, and I don't want to flash it to a custom rom if at all possible. Resetting it to stock should have fixed the issue if it was software, right? So it has to be hardware, right? But how does that make sense that only the phone function would be affected?
HELP!
Thanks in advance,
Tiberius Reign
^ Any recently downloaded app, widget, etc. that could be suspect ?? Anything come to mind that u may have done right before this started ??
I see u went to stock eclair, but i ask the above just in case u might have reinstalled everything after u went stock.
I tested the phone without installing any apps. I had a worse problem. The damn phone rebooted. I upgraded back to Froyo, and it became manageable. I saw someone else who was having similar issues with com.android.phone freezing and locking up all the time. Mine does it some of the time, and it's getting worse. I tried the delvik clear etc that was listed, and it still didn't help.
I'm kind of at my wits end here.
A lot of us i think are starting to have this problem. I had started a thread a while back about it but was never able to solve the problem. here is my original thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1168128
here are threads of other people having a similar problem that i have also replied in

i think would should all stick to replying back to one thread maybe this one because its newer, this way it can be easier for us to help each other find a solution to this problem.
Its a Hong Kong bought LG P990 with GB, bought two years old. Rooted but 100% stock, just deleted pre-installed apps. At first it happened only once in a while, now maybe 1-3 times a day. It won't turn on. I don't know if its actually off or if the power button doesn't work. So I have to pull the battery and restart.
Its seems that about a year ago one day the power button require quite a bit of pressing to get it to turn on. Like I have to push really hard just to get it to turn on. Its been that way ever since. I always would have to do a restart every week or so because the thing would get REALLY buggy or REALLY slow. Then it started to not turn at all, the power button. It would do that about once a month, then once a week, then three times a day yesterday. This happen exponentially.
Its always been buggy and slow. I only have about 10 apps on it. Barely using any space.
Is it dying? How to tell if your smartphone is dying? How often do people replace their smartphones?
hi! you should try to:
a) flash the rom again and try to do it as clean as you can(try a hard reset then flash)
b)either use a rom that is already modded without the apps that you care to get rid off or watch if the problem is caused by the removal of unwanted app
c)have a little patience and test
hope it helps!

Thank you for your help. But I did the root and deletion of stock apps a long time ago. Why is this problem starting to get worst now? Or are you referring to the general slowness?
I never flashed a rom before so I don't really want to start. Unless its the clear answer to solve my problems. Is that what your suggesting? I have thought abut it, but I wonder how much worst I can make it. Plus, I am just scared I'll screw it up.
My v20s stock rooted rom was performing pretty well by my standards but after changing basebands and removing some unwanted apps i had some trouble with playstore(after using 3g internet, when switching to wi-fi it would not download or update apps) and the phone sometimes just shut off removing the battery being the only way to solve both problems.
Since i flashed the new v30a everything is peachy except the phone and that damn chrome app are a bit laggy sometimes(mostly chrome).
My advice to you is to ,one by one, try to eliminate each possible cause.Also flashing a new stock rom is not hard(and i guess neither a custom one tho i have no experience with that) so have no fear and please do read the tutorials for each rom. Good luck!
Hi,
I hope I won't get blasted for my questions having been asked before but I did search and couldn't find anything exactly touching on what I wanted to ask about...
So I have a Galaxy note, n7000 model, and at one point I did flash a custom ROM, but for some reason or other the phone stopped functioning properly.
So I then went back to my original ROM (I'm in the UK), and the phone's performance is extremely sluggish, even right from a reset, everything lags, launching the app menu, loading apps, switching between main screen pages, etc.
I don't know why the phone has become so slow it used to be a fast competent phone for basic OS functionality I've described.
My question is, does anyone know why this might be?
I don't believe I reflashed a stock kernal when flashing the original ROM back on, could this be the problem?
Or is there any other reason the phone might now be slow?
And any advice as to how I can get it working with the performance it used to have, would be much appreciated.
Thanks again for
