Whenever I receive a call or try to make a call the phone freezes and ultimately crashes. I can hear sound of the person after a minute or so freezing. This doesn't happen at every call, like 8/10 times it will FC. This has made it impossible to use the phone.
The following message appears everytime it crashes:
The process com.android.phone is not responding. Would you like to close it?

If I am in contacts com.android.contacts crashes.
I have tried clearing the phone application cache but it doesn't help.
I am running Slim ICS (4.2) with no mod or anything installed. Its completely clean. I have tried CM9, AOKP on my phone and my brother's galaxy S. All have the same problem on both the phones.
Here is some info about the phone:
Baseband version: I9000XXJVT
Kernel version : [email protected] #` Wed May 23
Build number: 4.2
Mod Version: Slim_ICS_4.0.4
I am using this phone in India if it matters.
What can I do to fix this problem?
EDIT: I update my baseband to XXJVU. Didn't help. What now?
Have you tried clearing cache in recovery and all that jazz? Be sure to do a backup while in recovery before you do!!
Yes, I cleared all kinds of cache before installing.
I did wipe data/ factory reset, wipe cache, wipe dalvik cache.

This is guess work but maybe a different kernel would help, try out this Semaphore kernel and just flash it in recovery.
What is this kernel? Semaphore ICS 1.2.6s
The Semaphore kernel project is in a lot more detail here and here.
The problem was due to faulty proximity sensor. I had to install MIUI ROM to disable it. Its the only ROM that has the option of disabling it.
I was able to disable the driver of proximity sensor (GPA2) using hardware disabler app but the phone was too slow hence MIUI.

I'm on Darky's v5.6 ROM and everytime I try to open 'contacts' is says android.acore has stopped responding... force close etc...
Please tell me how to fix this!
I've done cache wipe and dalvik wipe which didn't fix it.
also having this problem, on 6.0. Did a full wipe/factory reset before flashing to 6.0, from 5.5.
Dear all,
I start using SpeedMod since version K12K.
There is no problem when I update the kernel from K12K to K12L, K12M, K12P, until from K12P to K12Q and so on.
After flashing with Odin and reboot, the phone becomes very slow, both in operation and the touch screen response.
I have tried updating from K12P to K12Q, K12R and K12S, they have the same symptom and slow. When I flash back to K12L or K12P, it becomes normal.
Any advises please?
Thanks in advance.
My phone info:
ROM: Stock 2.2 FROYO.ZSJPE
Maybe you should wipe the dalvik cache and cache. Go to recovery mode - clockworkmod options - wipe dalvik cache. do the same with cache partition.
Then reboot. That first reboot will take longer than usual because the dalvik cache has to be rebuild again. After that everything should be fine.
Thanks for your reply.
I have tried wiping the cache, then the dalvik cache, but it seems remain the same --- slow and lag. I would like to know if there is any sequence, let's say wipe the cache first, then wipe the dalvik cache, then flash the phone? or something else?
After wiping the cache, in general speaking, how long do I have to wait after the reboot?
Thanks in advance.

What i mean is that the first reboot after wiping the dalvik cache takes longer than usual because the dalvik cache has to be rebuild again.
You might check in the task manager if there's any running process cunsuming cpu time, which could lead to laginess. There are many things that could produce lags (widgets,apps etc.) I dont know what's installed on your phone.
Sent from my hand
I see. However, I am thinking if the lag is because of the apps. Since I am using the same apps before and after the kernel update. I did wipe the dalvik cache after flash, but after reboot, the phone response very slow, and whenever I click the home button, it just did not show up.
Any more ideas? Thanks a lot.
Sent from my GT-I9000 using XDA App
What i would do in your case would be:
Backup all important data/apps etc.
Then do a complete wipe and reset to factory defaults.
Then flash the latest firmware: froyo 2.2.1
Then flash speedmod kernel and apply all recommended tweaks.
After that restore app by app and rethink the real use of each app (do you really need/use it?).
Might sound complicated but it might be even easier than loosing more time on hopeless attempts to solve the problem...

Cheers man, this will be my last step. Thank you for your help.

NP Tell us if you succeeded. You might want to try wiping thumbnail database before (forgot to mention that beforehands).
Sent from my hand
Just done a factory reset (erase data + data cache + dalvik cache)
and flash the new version of kernel. The phone is back to normal now.

Okay I have tried EVERYTHING! I tried uninstalling my CM9 Alpha 2 completely with Acme Uninstaller and then doing a fresh install. I tried wiping data, cache, davlik, and still nothing! I don't know what to do. I tried so many things and have been working on this for the past 5 or 6 hours today! Please SOMEONE ANYONE have any ideas? My Touchpad is fine for about 2 minutes and no matter what I am doing it freezes for a second or two, screen goes black for a second, and then it reboots. Please SOMEONE HELP! I am about to give up on Android and I didn't love ICS so much I would! Thanks for all the help!
Have you changed any of the DPI settings? in the build file?
Have you tried booting into recovery and performing a full wipe? Wipe data, cache, dalvik cache.
Sent from my Rocket in the Sky (SGH-i727) using XDA Premium.
I haven't tried changing the DPI Settings. As for wiping data, cache, and davlik cache I tried all that. When I wipe the davlik cache though in recovery I get this error:
E:unknown volume for path [/sd-ext]
Would that have anything to do with the rebooting? I don't ever recall having this error before. If so, how do I fix it???
Thanks for both suggestions!
Shound I uninstall everything and just start from scratch and put CM7 Alpha 3.5 and then update it the CM9 Alpha 2 or do you all think that would work???
I suppose the quickest answer would be to just to start again reload back to webos, then do the process again. I've never had any issues like your having and maybe instead of installing cm7 them cm9 just install straight to cm9. May of been a buggy install. Also maybe before that try redownloading another rom. May of just been a slightly messed up rom you installed.

The error is troubling. If it were me, I'd completely redo the CM7 to CM9 install process starting with the uninstall. And get a fresh download of the rom and gapps and every file that you have not used successfully once in an install.
Hi,
I've been using galaxy tab 8.9 with custom ROMs for more than a year and a half now, and sometimes it was acting strange, like flickering dialogs and crashes. Usually this meant an unstable ROM or just cache wasn't cleared when a new ROM was installed. And it was stable for some time, till I did a reset. Now no ROM is stable any more in addition to this, the battery sometimes says it is empty, but after restart it is back to normal status. I tried number of ROMs without luck, all are flickering lately which must mean it is not ROMs fault.
I am running out of ideas what to do with this tablet, so I'm asking if you guys have any suggestions, what else can I do to fix it.
NOTE: when installing a new ROM, I always did it with CWM recovery from internal storage with data, cache, dalvik wipe and factory reset.
regards, Daniel

Do you ever wipe the system partition?

Agree. In TWRP, a factory reset only wipe data, cache and dalvik cache. You have to manually format system. A clean install requires to wipe system, data, cache and dalvik-cache.

Try flashing the original firmware via odin.

Flashing original firmware would be my last resort. Is there any difference between odin and CWM flashing?

Of course. Flashing original firmware via odin brings back the original setup that came with the tab out of the box. I just don't remember if it will delete the contents of internal sd card. In any case, you can flash original firmware thru CWM as I always do, though I only flash boot and system images I modified in Kitchen. It will still be stock but only that it has been debloated, rooted, busybox installed, init.d enabled, and some system apps replaced.
Just remember that when flashing ROMs via CWM do a factory reset (wipe data, cache, dalvik-cache). In addition to the wipe, the rom.zip itself formats the system partition prior to flashing.
After flashing cm-11-20140306-NIGHTLY-galaxysmtd.zip and Semaphore_KK_3.4.0s and rebooted my phone, when it finished updating the apps. The error "Unfortunately, com.android.phone has stopped!" has appeared and everytime I click "Ok" button, it keeps appearing. Anyone can help me fix this problem? I tried flashing it many times, and downloaded the rom trice but still I keep getting the same problem.

i have found the answer to my question, thanks btw. i think Semaphore 3.4.0 is not compatible with the latest upgrade. I tried flashing the rom without flashing a custom kernel, and it worked.
