Anyone heard of an issue where apps in internal storage just start fc'ing then are essentially deleted? I am running cm6 rc2 which I flashed about 6 weeks ago. I haven't had too many issues outside of the bugginess of the ads launcher which I replaced with launcher pro. This afternoon, I try to start up dogcatcher and it immediately force closes, I tried to access the podcast I was looking for through music mod and that fails as well. I thought I might need to reboot, but when I get back into the system two more apps fail as well as the original failed apps not working. Curious, I look in my application list and the apps are mostly gone except for a few apps that show the generic market app icon, which I take to mean corrupted apps. I was able to go into titanium and restore some of the apps to work again, but I have had a pop up stating mytracks has stopped working, but I haven't even started mytracks since the reboot. I guess what I am worried about is If my phone's internal storage is failing? Is it even possible? Any suggestions?

I had the same thing happen, everytime I rebooted more apps would become corrupt, I was worried that my internal storage was failing, so I wiped everything and started again from scratch, and haven't had a problem since.
When you say start from scratch are you talking about reflashing cm6? I had been holding out since I have been reading about a lot of issues with the 6 stable version.
I formatted the phone, deleting cache and dalvic cache, and then reinstalled. I was using CM6 at the time so reflashed it, did everything by the book to be sure and it has been smooth sailing since.
Only time I have ever had this issue, on the N1 or G1 was after flashing a ROM and not wiping. Sometimes I could get away with it, sometimes not. Wipe and reflash is what I would do.
Hey Thanks guys.
I went ahead and wiped everything and started fresh with cm6 stable.
I am not sure what was going on . I had done a complete wipe and install from stock to rc2 and it worked great for 4-5 weeks. The only thing I could think of was possibly an issue with K-9 mail. One of things I saw happen fairly regularly (3-4 times a week) after rc2 was installed was that K-9 would suddenly just fc. That in and of itself wasn't too weird, but every time it would fc I would get a low space notification right after, where I kew I had 40-50 mbs of space free. Memory leak or something? Dunno.
All weirdness aside, so far CM6 stable is running great...
I've seen this happen when my the /cache filesystem was full. ('App not installed' , FCs etc). Run a 'df' command in a shell to check.
Clearing the cache would be a temporary solution. Moving the /cache to the sd card using DarkTremor Apps2SD is a permanent solution.
I currently have 178 apps.
Let's start with some basic information. I am running not rooted stock Froyo 2.2.1, Baseband version I9000XXJPY, Kernel version 2.6.32.9 [email protected] #1, Build number FROYO.XXJPY. Using stock TW Launcher.
In the morning I've moved couple of apps to SD card. Few hours later my battery went flat and the phone turned off. I've replaced the battery with a fully charged one and the phone was booting quite a while and when it finished it started with locale setting screen. At the same time several apps started to force close unexpectedly. When I went through all the initial settings the wallpaper was the same, icons and widget layout was the same. There were many apps missing (I reckon all of them were installed on the SD card). Many apps that remained were either force closing just after starting or had the settings reverted to defaults.
Some examples:
- Android Agenda widget was in its place but settings missing.
- I've reinstalled TwittCaster and moved to Phone - although it looks like the data/settings are being wiped after every phone restart and I need to put my login details every time.
It looks like many of the apps are reverting settings to default every time I restart the phone.
Both my external and internal cards seems fine, I can access and open files (e.g. photos and music) on them.
When I was trying to install some apps from the Market I was getting error messages that the app cannot be installed in the chosen destination, or there is not enough space. But after few tries I've managed to install them. As far as I know there should be quite a lot of available space.
I've tried to unmount/mount external card, take it out and in again. I've formatted cache partition from recovery mode. I've tried to clear RAM with Task Manager.
I would be grateful if someone could help me to diagnose the reason behind all this, help me to fix it and prevent it from happening in future. I really want to understand the problem and the trigger so I can avoid similar problems in the future
I will appreciate any help.
Thanks!
Sorry to bump, but this is really driving me mad.
It appears that I need to reinstall every app as they all closing unexpectedly on starting. after I reinstall them they loosing settings every time I restart the phone. Is it an external or internal card issue or maybe internal memory? Please help!
I have also noticed that Android Market is quite slow on me. Muc, much slower then before it ask happened.

sounds like hardware failure to me. Its back to factory and exhibiting problems. Why not take it back and have it replaced/fixed?

Strange problem this...
I guess format, reflash and clean install of apps would be a better option... instead of just re-installing apps...
I just wish to avoid sending it for a repair. This is a new replacement I get several days ago from Samsung, for which I was fighting for 4 months.
Anyway I will try to format and reset everything and build everything up from scratch. But if only I could understand how and why it happened maybe I would be able to prevent it from happening in the future.
Is there a special way I can format sd cards before installing and moving apis there?

I am on SGS #2 atm and im trying to stress test it using the HD video method. I have noticed random apps starting to FC. I guess my real question is, Are there certain apps that are more likely to FC compared to others? I noticed the phone gets REALLY slow at loading as it reaches the drive capacity, however, once i delete all the junk videos, the speed returns to normal. Ive also noticed the FC happens when i open too man apps.
Are there any other clear indicators?
Thanks!
Yes,
It's about to go.
Fair well~
Mine did that not too long ago. I was playing Game Dev Story and it got all laggy. So i reboot and i started getting loads of force closes. COuldnt even boot because LauncherPro kept fc. so i reset to factory and speed came back and no fc so far ( maybe one per day..) Strangely , this came right after flash from ODIN for the first time. Although i only flashed a new KERNEL which is speedmod. I NEVER had any problems before that and had my phone since OCT. Anyways, updated to K12O and still on a stock - rooted JL2. Lets pray for the better!
Yep.
Mine started to force close on my email app. Then when I got it working, I tried to attach a photo to an email when the email and picture gallery crashed. Restarted the phone and I kept getting all kinds of FC's on different apps every 1 minute or so. Reinserted the battery, turned it on and it was all over.
I just want the damn thing to die so i can send it in for a new one from samsung...

Well the last thing that did it for me was I had backed up all my apps with myroot then formatted the internal card. Loaded all my apps back to my phone, then I did a mass update on all the apps at the same time. That's when my phone was unresponsive and FC's occurred consistently until the entire phone crashed.
OK I thought i could start a thread with ways that we can minimize the replay of reboot or freeze problems. Just a solution till LG comes up with a magic patch!
I managed to minimize the reboots by installing Launcher Pro and by not start (after Reset) the Antivirus Crap.
Also I managed to minimize to 1 freezing per 10 charges by charging with different method. (ex. USB , Hub to PC, or other manufacturer) .
Newest CM7 is very stable, not a hiccup all day
I never got the black screen of death early on while owning my phone. It wasn't until a few days in it began happening. It got particularly bad yesterday so I reinstalled CM7 nightly and wiped my battery stats through clockwork recovery. I haven't had a blackscreen for 10 hours now.
Yesterday, did you install #15 by any chance? I found it to be really unstable, #16 is miles better.
Yea, 15 was quite unstable until I reinstalled it a 2nd time. 16 is quite stable so far. I think a general rule to follow would be to reinstall if you find it unstable. If it keeps messing up just hop back to the last stable build.
I haven't has a reboot or lock up since UNINSTALLING juice defender. If that helps
Mine started rebooting after 2 weeks. I had about 10 reboots a day.
But uninstalling juicedefender did the trick for me as well! Finally no reboots anymore!
I havent used Juice Defender, and i dont have any reboots, no lockups or anything..
I just rooted the device + used Root Explorer to remove all the bloatware

Did you rooted from day 1?
Why you didn't update to 10d?
i dont even know how to update lol
i just rooted it with 1click (link in signature) and removed all the crap
it was about a week after i got the phone i think..
without the rooting i also didnt have any reboots or whatsoever.. a little lag occasionally but thats all
after I removed all those memory management apps, task killer apps,
I have no problem again. just try it yourself.
I was advised by a friend whos been using android for a long time NOT to use TaskKiller and stuff..
By just letting all the Apps run, the system is more stable..
Just remove the unnecessary ****
I'm using the stock v10b ( v10d not available in belgium... ) and i had several freeze after using some intensive apps like games or navigation ( screen keep working but nothing respond ). The wierdest is that i can play on the app for long time and once i come back to the home, my phone freeze.
I would like to remove all the crap stuff running but i couldn't find how to uninstall permantly some apps ( like the twitter app ... ). Do i need to root it ?
About reboot. I put some video file on SD card and my phone starts rebooting. I deleted that file and everything is ok. The reboot is started by SD Media Scan. Since then(1-2 months), no reboots.
After I rooted the phone and frooze some bloatware. I didn't have any freezes or reboots at all. U use also juice defender and autokiller. So I can do two days without a charge.

I'm running cm7.1 stable, running off emmc, and every now and then my beautiful NC just locks up, I have it OC to 1.2ghz, I did a search and only end up with results from older nightly threads. Is this a common issue or just me?
PS... I have reflashed and cleared, data,cache, etc..
Thanks

Have you always had the issue or did it start recently? I would look at uninstalling any new apps you downloaded prior to the issue starting. There is a good chance you might find a bad app to be your problem.
It wasnt happening before, I tried cm9 with opengl, after I reverted back to cm7(fresh install not nandroid) it started happening, the apps I am running were the same apps I was running before trying cm9(and the freezing problem wasn't happening)

Since you are going for a clean install anyway and there is no issue with the CM7 install script did you try the factory reset option or was it just the caches that you cleared? Have you confirmed that you have a good download of the CM7 zip?
Also you might want to try flashing your latest nandroid and make sure that is still running the same as when you created it. If so and you still want to install fresh try it coming off of that one instead of from CM9.

I've had trouble with both Beautiful Widgets and Google Currents locking up my CM7. Got rid of those and I essentially never get lockups any more.

So did removing BW resolve the random freeze? My wife's NC is doing the exact same thing and she has BW too. But I just installed CM7 on hers last night so not sure if BW is the culprit or not yet.
I've been running CM 7.2.0 RC1 from SD card about a month now, and I've experienced a number of freezes. On April 5, I had two freezes within a few hours, and I started keeping track of the freezes, hoping a pattern would emerge.
From April 5 through April 17, there were a total of eight freezes. I don't know what the uptime was when the first freeze occurred on April 5, but all subsequent freezes occurred with less than two days uptime. During those 13 days, uptime got above two days on two occasions; both times a "Sleep of Death" occurred before uptime reached three days.
Was there a pattern? Yes! Every single freeze occurred while I was using Opera Mobile browser, and browsing these forums at forum.xda-developers.com.
On April 18 I started using Dolphin to browse the xda forums, and there has not been a single freeze so far. (I still use Opera Mobile for other browsing.) Uptime had reached five days when I voluntarily rebooted this morning.
I realize this may not be relevant to the rest of the discussion in this thread, which seems to deal with CM 7.1. Then again, maybe it is. This seemed the logical place to report the observation.
Update: Opera Mobile has updated to version 12.00.ADR-1204201824 on April 25. I'll revert to using Opera Mobile on the xda forums, to see if it still freezes.
My freezing problem was resolved by moving a bunch of apps from SD back to phone. I left on the SD partition apps I don't use often, and I made sure all apps on my launcher page in ADW were on phone.

You really don't gain much and lose a lot by running apps installed to sd. Since everything is automatically on 'sd' with an sd install, those that say they are installed to phone are really still on sd (in /data, which is also on sd). The only reason to install apps to sdcard is if you have so many installed that you have no more room in /data. And with sd installs, usually the /data is made of a generous size. Installing apps to sd slows your system since it has more system overhead to work through.
I know it sounds confusing, but with sd installs, installing to phone means installed to /data which is a partition of your sd. If it says installed to sd, it means it is installed to sdcard, which is another partition of your sd. So no matter where you tell it, it is all on sd and /data is faster because of less system overhead.
For anyone else having this problem, I found that if it was overclocked for me, it would freeze a lot more frequently. But, that may have just been bad luck on my part!

Came to post the same thing. My nook color will run max OC 1200 but often it will freeze for no reason. After many attempts of uninstalling the many different apps I thought were causing it I started moving the OC lower in small increments and running for a long as possible without a freeze. Finally got down to 975 and haven't had a freeze in days.
Kinda disappointed though since someone got it at 1600 and most run at 1200 and all I can get is less than 1000. I'm probably moving to a Asus Transformer Infinity soon anyways though.
It has been known since the early days of Dalingrin's overclocking kernels that many of the NC's have issues with anything above 1100 MHz and undervolting can create a great deal of instability.
My recommendations are to try 1100 MHz max... and lower voltage .05 mV at each step. I personally never have issues with these settings...
You can then try lowering voltage .05 mV at a time until you start having issues... then increase it back to the last one you had no issues with.
I just leave mine at 1100 and .05 mV lower than the reported "Stock Voltage"
