[Q] All of a sudden random apps force closing for no apparent reason [i9000]

Hey,
this problem started only today and has never happened before. The only things changing were some app updates and a few new installs. I already uninstalled all of the apps installed in the last few days in hopes of reverting the situation but it didn't help. And after I made the first reboot when the apps began to force close randomly it looked like a semi factory reset was made. All my contacts are gone, there are no SMS/call logs, but all SMSes, pictures and videos are still there. If I try to open the Market app it asks me if I accept TOS, Gmail is not set, mobile internet is not working (due to reset settings), Wi-Fi and bluetooth settings are still there. In short, everything is half-fuc*ed.
What do you thing happened? And is there any possibility I can go back to a normal state without starting from fresh?

Go into Recovery and Fix Permissions, then reboot and see if that has fixed the problem.

Oh yeah, and another thing. Market, Youtube and Maps apps where all a few version lower than before and started updating immediately after opening the Market app. Market still is (even the old design and everything). How can this be?

I'm trying to avoid that at the moment. Just for the time being so I can make a complete backup of all my stuff.

i9000 random loss of data
Yes, this is a rather old thread I'm trying to revive here, but as it is adviced to continue those instread of duplicating them, here are my issues:
I gave my i9000 to a relative ~a year ago and recently it started acting strange. About 1-2 times a month I get a call from that relative saying: "I get a lot of force closes, phone is unusable, nothing works". I then walk over, take a look and yes, unusable. It appears that all information in the /system partition gets lost for no reason. The relative told me that this usually happens when some google apps are updating, but it might still be random.
Currently MackayRom (latest) is installed.
Usually when I got the call, I hopped over to my relative, did a factory reset (wipe of /system and /data + Cache and Dalvik Cache) then reflashed the ROM and Gapps and everything looked good again. Sadly the issue continues to return.
What I tried so far is a complete wipe of anything, reverting to a stock TW Rom, and going back to an AOSP Rom from there (first CM 11, then Mackay). The issue appeard to be gone afterwards, I didn't hear from that relative for an unusual amount of time, but after a month or 1 1/2, it returned.
My guess is, that one of the chips that are containing the /system partition is broken or at least close to die (I'm not sure if it is just one or multiple chips, since the CM Team or Pawit himself changed something in the partition structure somewhere between cm10, cm10.1 and cm11 to ensure the compatibility of that old device with KitKat). Anyways, I'd love to hear any ideas or suggestions on how to solve this issue (although I reached a point where I think that solving this isn't possible anymore, unless I wanna swap the Mainboard, which would mean paying an amount of money that I could get a new phone for as well.) Soon as I have the time, I'll Odin-flash the latest TW Rom to the device and have my relative use that for a while, just to see if the different/older partition structure helps in any way.
Thanks in advance for any replies .

Sprint Samsung Galaxy Tab 7 Inch - Tons of issues. Need help!

The principal of out school turned in her Tab 7 inch, they no longer want to pay $60 a month for 3G thats slower then a 14.4 dial-up!
It was given to out Tech Department and I snagged it to play with.
OK first thing, it's FC'ing on various apps. I decided to factory restore the unit by booting into Samsung's recovery and wiping the data and and clearing the cache.
This reset it but our principals gmail is still on the phone. It's the primary account. I can NOT get it to delete.
I found a thread here with a official Samsung flashing tool. This one:
Sprint_Galaxy_Tab_EA24_Flasher.zip
It seems to have worked, it got the device back to EA24. However when I reboot, it's FC'ing even more and the principals gmail is still there.
Well, it now sees an update called: EB28
It downloads it then boots into recovery and nothing more happens. No option to update, flash etc.
Also now EVERY TIME I restart/reset this device its like it's been factory reset, all the apps I installed are GONE, my Wi-Fi is GONE, and it FC's like crazy.
Contracts done on this phone so Sprints not going to do anything. Help! I'd like to get Gingerbread on this.
Thanks!

Wow, no one has one of these or has any advice?

Some updates on things I've noticed.
Well, previous to my original post, I was STOCK, non-ROOTED. This morning I used Roddricks guides to flash to ROOT with CWM via Odin.
It seems to have worked OK, I have root and I'm on the stock ROOTED Gingerbread but I STILL had all the default Google accounts. I booted back into CWM and did a complete data wipe and installed CM7. That worked too however when I booted it immediately said NOOK had forced closed...? OK, well I ignored that and installed a couple .apk's I had on my memory card and changed my wallpaper. Then I rebooted into Recovery again and flashed the Google Apps. Upon rebooting I saw no google apps and my wallpaper and installed apps were GONE. I was back to stock CM like it was just installed.
Now keep in mind I had done a FULL wipe to everything in CWM prior to flashing CM7. I booted the device BACK to the download mode and used Odin to re-flash Roddricks stock ROOT and kernel.
Upon booting the phone I'm back to stock Gingerbread and guess what? The default Google account is BACK and so are the two pre-added wireless networks.
WHY IN THE HELL WON'T THIS THING WIPE and why does it keep resetting to just installed defaults when I reboot.
I see I am not the only person with this issue. Someone else made a thread just the other day saying their 7 inch Tab resets on reboot too.
Can someone give us some pointers? In my case I can install custom ROM's but I have to set everything back up EVERY TIME I reboot? Come on, that's not [email protected]#@[email protected]#$

Firstly, it sounds like you're not actually doing the right kind of wipe. You want factory reset / wipe. Either from recovery or within the stock firmware.
Once you successful do this, all downloaded apps and account settings will be gone.
Next up it seems you're not actually managing to install custom firmware. You'll need to specify more details about what you've done and read carefully what appears on screen and report on it if you want useful advice.

I've done the factory reset from stock firmware, I've done the factory reset from CWM 4 and 5.
I've manually wiped from adb using rm -R and rm -rf for /dbdata /system /cache /data, all of which appear to be wiped and then doing an "ls" reports the directors are GONE.
Then I flashed stock GB stock rom, booted up and guess what? My default gmail and wirless networks were STILL there.
Adb'ed back after a root'ed kernel and manually went into the folders and deleted EACH file, then backed out and deleted the folders. Rinse, wash and repeat with the ROM and guess what? default Googles still there along with the Wireless.
Also one thing to note is that with every one of these wipes, boots, flashes etc, lets say I setup the Tab and install a couple apps, add my wireless, change my wallpaper etc, when I reboot, it's ALL gone. The Tab's back to default fresh like I just flashed.
Spent like an hour with Rodderik in the #gtab channel trying to figure this out.

Ok. I believe you.
I still can't rationalize what is happening there. One thing you can trust about computers is they do what they are told. However, sometimes it's hard to understand what you've told then to do.
Kies knows how to restore user state. It's also somewhat evil in terms of still running when you've quit it. Make sure Kies is not running.

Is it possible some settings got backed up to the SD and are auto-restoring? Honestly haven't used my tab in a while so I'm not even sure this is an option. Maybe try clearing dalvik?
Sent from my PC36100 using Tapatalk

sounds like somehow you may have a read only nand mode going on...strange haven't heard of this problem with the samsung its quite popular with the dell streak 7....in the dell streak 7 many people have to send it back to dell to repair it no other way... as for it on the samsung like i said never heard of the problem but if you can't reset properly or everything reverts to a state upon reboot then you may have whats called read only mode basically anything you install change add once you reboot the device it erases everything you did to it....from what i have read its a failsafe in linux try reading a few of the dell streak 7 problems with read only mode it may help in understanding and maybe finding a solution good luck. then again i may be wrong but just what you described sounds similar.

I would just load a new rom like overcome gbsafe_v5

[Q] Galaxy Tab 7in will not reset

I picked up a Verizon Galaxy Tab on Craigslist. I set it up and it seemed to be working fine. Then things started forceclosing,making the device nearly impossible to use. I keep trying to hard reset the Tab, via the settings app, also via the manual mode, it goes through the process as if it's resetting, but it will not clear the device. I'm still logged in to all my accounts. Is there some other way to clear the device back to the stock ROM? It is not rooted.

Power off.hold down power and volume up button.Do a wipe cache and factory than reboot.problem solved.

Hey thanks for the response, appreciate it. One would think that would solve everything. Yet it doesn't. It shows that it's clearing the cache, and then that it's resetting device, I get the warning that all data will be lost. It does nothing. I reboot via the menu and nothing is deleted, accounts, apps are all there.
I'm wondering if perhaps I need completely reflash the stock image on the Tab. I have done that before on a Fascinate, but not on a Tab, so I'm not sure of the process. If anyone can direct me to a good link, I'd appreciate it. I'm new to hacking on the Tab. Thanks again!

Do you have a recovery in place? Try wiping your dalvik and cache.
Also, try wiping the cache on the messaging app. IS there a different messaging app you are using? What you are describing only happens with me on the google messaging app. Safe to assume no special rom in place, baby steps?
P.S I'm 99.9% sure rooting is not the issue, so you can calm down if you think rooting broke your messaging

ok you are speaking greek to me lol. i am very very new to this. i just rooted using the method listed in the t moble note 4 root. not the custom one just the first step with the root file. phone is stock besides that no special messaging apps just what came with the phone. i have had the phone for 3 months never had a issue. i rooted yesterday and now today im having this issue. everything else on the phone works just sending and recieving texts is messed up

Relax... Take a deep breath... there is one important thing to realize now that you have rooted your phone. You can fix just about any software problem you could have.
Root should not effect the sms or the mms though. So my guess is it is an apn issue. Do you have the correct apn set up? [Google search: Tmobile APN]
If the above doesnt work,Then next thing I would try is to go into TWRP recovery and fix your permissions. [Google search: How to fix permissions in TWRP]
If neither of those work I would try using TWRP to clear your cache and your davlink cache. [Google search: How to wipe cache in TWRP]
Finally If none of those work then my next idea would be to use ODIN to flash the NK4 stock ROM and then reroot using cf auto root. Then use Odin to flash TWRP again. http://galaxynote4root.com/galaxy-note-4-root/how-to-root-galaxy-note-4/

I think he just rooted and has not installed twrp or any recovery. I would say most likely apn issue .
BAD ASS NOTE 4

I see,
I will suggest you do some readings my friend...it comes with rooting. Do what @ShrekOpher suggested and do the google search he placed. If you do not have a crash course in what comes with rooting and how to get out of jam...especially what TWRP can do, how to install it, the benefit of it...it will be hard for anyone to help you. Ultimately, we will all be talking greek to you lol
Do not panic, for now download a third party messenger and read around than get back to fixing your stock messenger. Good luck! Google is your best friend!
P.S You can also search the terms he suggested with in XDA as well, a lot of good guides and questions for beginners. You have to be able to search and read read read, its a nice way to get rooting knowledge

I remember a thread during the first week about this, updating to nj7 and making sure my apn was set to TMobile US LTE fixed my issue.

Random Screen Freezing Post 6.0 Update

I received my 6.0.1 update via at&t a few days ago and have been loving it so far. However, I have run into an issue today. My screen in randomly unresponsive. It is lit up, but it does not respond to touch. If I press the power button to put the screen to sleep and then wake it back up again it works, but that's sort of inconvenient.
Has anyone else experienced this issue? If so, how did you fix it. I've wiped the system cache already and that didn't fix the problem.
I've also installed Good Lock, if that is of any importance.
This phone is fully stock and has not been modified in any way.
I appreciate the help in advance!!!

If you already wiped cache and the problem persists, then my friend a Factory Data Reset is the step to take. My Galaxy S6 running at AT&T received the Platform upgrade a few days ago and before doing the Factory Reset I install Good Lock just to see what's going on. I was pretty lost with it so uninstall. After the upgrade I never experienced an unresponsive screen.

Wiping Cache is not bad. It is when you have to resort to wiping data that means a lot of work.
