What's wrong with my phone?

I'm having force close issue but I'm not using the app. Also there are times my fone still hangs even after upgrade to 2.3.4
Yesterday I just deleted dalvik cache using root explorer. Did I lose anything?
another problem: when my fone is sleeping there are times it doesnt open. the lockscreen wont appear so i have to long press the open button to reboot or take off the battery. any solution?

I had that issue when i was still learning. You accidentally deleted something within the phones framework.
Wipe your phone and reflash a 3 part file ROM. If i were you go get the JVS or the JVT one. Also, delete the dalvik from CWM.

try to format cache and dalvic cache

my rom is jvr.
how to format dalvik cache?

actually even before i deleted dalvik cache, im having problems already with my fone

go to cwm recovery by holding vol up+home+power button.
goto advanced->wipe dalvik cache.

nothing will happen on my other apps if i do that?

try the answer on this.
this will be the best solution on your problem by flashing the a stock GB.

I agree with hackfinn, however softpinkishlips you need to be more detailed in your posts, is that a stock rom or custom rom, did you update via kies?

What ROM are you using? A custom ROM? Custom kernel?

JVR

Best is to reflash since I don't have much information to salvage from your configuration.
If you're using Supersonic or a ROM that disables journaling, you'll get FCs if you encounter a power loss. That's normal. The solution is to reflash anyways.

There is nothing wrong with your phone. there is something wrong with your searching skills.
ALL rom's JVR, JVS have FC on the Phone.apk.
IF you'd be able to change your pampers by yourself, you'd use SEARCH feature to find it:
Simple, isn;t it? and flash

Someone has to teach me. I'm not technical when it comes to roms and flashing. I just do what I am told to do

Well, what happened?
I am stuck on the boot screen as well.

Did you performed Full Wipe on ICS Stock Rom ? If so then its unfortunate to say your note might be bricked.

I advise u stop flashing stuff when you clearly don't know what your doing.

It is not a good sign. Looks like a case of superbrick to me due to emmc bug. Probably will need repartition with custom pit or adb.

Hi guys,
I normally try and work this stuff out for myself (as you can tell by my join date and my post count) but this has me stumped..
I was attempting to change ICS rome and somewhere in the process something went wrong...
After many unsuccessful attempts of flashing, stock ICS & GB, Abyss.. I checked the partions for errors and found the actual size of p-10 was different than the reported size by 1kb.
So, tried the e2fsck fix- it reported that it had corrected some errors.. I tried flashing again and agin- no success.
I then deleted the partitions, recreated them and reformatted in CWM. ADB reports no errors on any partition. When I try to load an ICS rom, it installs then hangs when it gets to the screen where you select the language.
I can successfully install a GB rom, but after a couple of minutes I start getting errors- then the affected app closes.
Any ideas?
Thanks

Which ics rom were you on originally before you tried flashing to which ics rom? Did you perform any wipes while on ics? Does sound like you have a good understanding of emmc bug and partitioning so forgive me if this all seems mundane.

Download emmc app from market and perform a memory test... Get a rooted gb rom as it needs root access.. And skip all kinds of setup at startup once you flash the gb(rooted) rom

I was on N7000XXLRB, Kernel Version 3.0.15-N7000XXLRG, and Build number IMM76D.XXLRG. Tried to go to AlBa rom, flashed Abyss, wiped cache/data in the CWM recovery and flashed the rom in CWM recovery...
I can successfully flash a stock GB rom with PC Odin, but it hangs on the boot screen( so I can't install dmmc test).
I have tried everything I can think of, just waiting on a jig to come in the mail so I can reset my counter for warranty

If you find a solution please post it.
I think i have the same problem. I posted it in general ( can anybody move it over here? I think this was wrong. Sorry i panicked. )
It's called permantly rebooting after flashing cm9.
I pledge for a solution.

Crap that sucks. Best I can suggest is revert to gb by pc odin, in gb do factory reset from dialer, wipe everything and then pc odin ics, again. And then perform the rooting instructions to the letter.
For install guide see dr ketans thread.
Unless someone has better idea?

1.Hard reset the device.
2.Go into sownload mode, Flash GB rom of latest using pc odin
3.Boot device
4.Again booting into download mode
5. FLASH ICS LP8 using pc odin.
6. Boot device.
For rooting
1.Boot into recovery
2. Select cwm.zip from external memory
3. Install by confirming.
4. Reboot into cwm recovery.
5. Select su busybox.zip from internal memory.
6. Instal by confirmng.
Thats it now i will be completely rooted.
Is this correct??
Sent from my GT-N7000 using xda premium

heeeyyyy DON'T FLASH. its a feature of ICS...
i tried LPY last time and the way to do copy/cut/paste is by double tapping the word...

Whatever you do, do not perform factory reset unless you have safe ICS kernel.
BTW, double tapping words or tapping and holding on text for a couple of seconds pops out cut/copy/paste menu.
In certain applications for example - Gmail, there's even search option.
Hope this helps.

Corrected if double tab doesnt work.

If stock kernel is the safe kernel, then I'm the CEO of Samsung and I'm going to give away S3 to every Note owner for free...kidding.
Please read the PSA http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1633943
All stock ICS kernels including CF-Root kernels for ICS have superbrick bug.
Your device would get bricked if you perform data wipe/nand restore using those affected kernels.
DAFUQ, Franco R3, SpeedMod 3-3 are safe kernels.
Kernel used in official cyanogenmod is also safe kernel.
All known Gingerbread kernels are safe kernels.
Before you start flashing custom ICS roms make sure you read the respective OPs throughly.

Auto rebooting on CM9.1 (and CM9.0)

Hello mates,
I flashed CM9.0 on my galaxy note and it all went well but in the latest days it was autorebooting himself, kinda out of the blue. Then I flashed the updated rom CM9.1, hoping to this bug disappear, but it still going on.
Anyone knows how to fix that? I was thinking that it might be a kernel problem, but i really don't remember wich kernel I flashed in the first place.
I was thinking to flash Paranoid Android Rom, but I just can't find a stable one, any one knows how to find it?
thanks

Try to go to any stock rom....then see if it is still exist

I've just flashed another kernel and it is stupidly fast.
If I want to clean galaxy note, how can I do that?
Sent from my GT-N7000 using xda app-developers app

easy clean install first, dont restore data or apps, ever, and fix permissions solve 99% of the cases.
Just stick to procedures.
heres mine:
on safe kernel and safe kernel recovery(safe cwm)
wipe cache, dalvik and factory reset,
then format all(except efs and take out external card) in mounts
put external back in, reboot recovery, phone wont boot anymore but dont worry about that.
then install cm zip, gapps reboot, done! first boot takes time.
all at own risk,
you will lose data,
but the issues will not be caused by restoring of apps/data, or other crap lingering

[Q][Brickbug(?)] Galaxy note stuck at brick animation despite new rom/kernel.

Hi. Would be great if anyone could help as I bricked[?] my phone earlier today.
So here's what happened.
I was on SweetRomV1 JB previously and wanted to flash back to ICS RRv12.
So I stupidly flashed Abyss Kernel from my recovery forgetting that it doesn't support JB rom.
So the CWM started refreshing itself, stopping me from surfing the menu up and down.
I pulled out the battery, place it back in. The phone started up, but the screen was empty/blank/black.
Searched on the net then I realized Abyss Kernel doesn't support JB.
So under some forumer advice, I flashed a Stock ICS Rom using PC odin.
This time, I can access recovery with no problem. However I'm still stuck, the phone is not rebooting.
I'm stuck at the Samsung logo.
So I decided to flash a new kernel using PC odin and a new rom.
I flashed SpeedMod K3-15 using Pc odin and in recovery, I flashed the RRv12 rom.
Now it's still loading the boot animation.
I'm really at a loss now. Can anyone help?
I can access download mode and recovery. But I can't place files into my ext_sd because I can't boot up my phone.
Can anyone help me to get my phone working again?
Thanks in advance.

Flash stock gb via pc odin and work from there. The problem is you flashed incompatible kernels. The flash back to original should be fine.

I did it last night. I'm able to boot up now and I'm in RRv12 now. However, what just happened was, I changed to a fresh battery to charge it.
When I boot up, it shows that battery is disconnected. So I did a power off, and pulled out the battery. Used the method online, dropped the battery from around 2 feet high.
When I place the battery in again, I'm stuck AGAIN at the boot animation.
Any help?
