[Q] cognition 3.04, phone force closes when a call is recieved.

Hello chaps,
I just installed cognition 3.04 from stock, and now I'm a bit frustrated because everything works EXCEPT when it tries to recieve calls. I did a little putzing around and found this person with the same problem, but it didn't help. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=918458 I tried getting the phone.apk from this thread here, but it will not install. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=10685612&postcount=861
Unfortunately, if I can't recieve calls, this rom is useless to me. It's a phone, after all. anybody have a fix for this that doesn't involve the words "master reset"? I don't care if I have to flash back to stock but I will not master reset. 32 gigs of music takes too damn long to sync haha, plus I don't want to have to reset all my tones/settings. I would like to stay on froyo, I like my flash player, working skype, and little pointer that makes it easier to pick a spot in text. (oh, and the whole "better ui" thing is great too)
I'm open to other roms, kernels, whatever as long as I can get everything to work, and not have to master reset

Depends on your knowledge level but it sounds like a reflash is in your future. Just flash to stock and reflash the ROM. if the problem persists, try another ROM. There are plenty to choose from. Please move this to QA though

You know Adam,
What amazes me is how you continuously help to contribute to the XDA community with your great FF, Phoenix and SN in addition to answering questions about other roms too.
We need more guys like you!
Looking forward to SN!

I did restore my apps with titanium, could that have caused the issue?

This was my issue too...I ended up going through all the steps to flash back to stock and then to cog 3.04 again. After that I cleared all the "caches" and did a master clear.
All of that may be a little superfluous but when I did my restore I did as little as I could because my suspicion was that the full back up from the stock rom was copying over some phone settings. So I picked through the restore items and only left on the apps and contacts left everything else off.

Sure could have if you reinstalled it with system data.

Yes that can definnately cause a problem
You are probably replacing the phone 2.2 with the version of your older ROM. The problem will show it self right after you reboot after restoring with TB.
Also what are you doing flooding the main forum. Either QA or post right in the Cognition thread.

A good rule of thumb for restoring things with Titanium Backup: If the name of the app is RED don't restore it. Only restore things that are GREEN or WHITE

Is your music only on your external sd card? If so, take your external out and master clear. Will only wipe your internal. If it is on your internal as well then ignore this lol.
Sent from my Captivate running Cezar's Continuum v.2.1 with SuckerPunch kernel.

I had this same problem. Phone would ring, and all I had was caller ID, but could not answer the phone. Turns out my Answering Mode was disabled. I don't know if the first flash to the ROM reset this or what, but once I reset to enable, I had no problems. I have since re-flashed ROMS and using Titanium Backup has restored my settings and have had no problems.

I have the same problem in mi Captivate. The phone.apk application hang up when I do OUTGOING calls.
For test, I unninstall the phone.apk and the SO always show an hangup for phone.apk and for messaging.apk applications. I have a Backup after that, and I restore it, but occurrs the same problema in outgoing calls. I didn't restore this application, but I didn't do a Master Clear. I try and post my result.
Otherwise, I have to rollover to Stock ROM.

[Q] Earpiece stopped working, need help figuring out if it's the phone or cognition

Hi guys. All of the sudden my earpiece died. I'm currently running Cognition 4.2.2, and I love it, but I'm not entirely sure that is the problem. I don't really want to have to re-flash cognition, because it's just a pain to reinstall everything even with titanium's batch operations... but if I have to I will. Anyways, I've checked it with a wired headset, it works fine. with a Bluetooth headset, it works fine. on speakerphone, it works fine but people can't hear me well. when people call me or I call them they say that they can hear me just fine but I cannot hear them at all until I switch it to speaker or my Bluetooth headset.
Has anyone encountered this issue? is it cognition, or the phone's hardware?
My phone is still under warranty, and everything else works... (except I think the battery is going bad) but that's another issue. If it's hardware, I can Odin it back to the stock rom and then see if they'll replace it under warranty for me.
(if I have to do that, can I transfer my titanium backup to the new phone so I can just flash cog and restore it to it's former glory?) If not, time to get my new inspire I guess.
Thanks guys.

well theres one easy way to find out if its the rom.
flash a new rom.
you should flash stock so if it doesnt work you can reutrn it!

I think we Canadians can communicate telepathically, because that's exactly what I was thinking. Good job picking up my signal, when I'm all the way down here in New Mexico =P
But anyways, I was going to do this if I didn't get any other ideas to try... just a pain to restore but oh well.
as far as restoring the new device if I get one, can I just drag and drop the titanium folder on my phone to my comp, and then to the new device and run titanium from there? or will it not work that way?
Saying goodbye to this cappy will be so sad though... I'll miss my silver speaker mod.

Yup, itll work that way. Did it on my sisters bf's cappy cause the dumbass threw it and broke the screen. I had to boot it to recovery and hold my working phone in the other hand and synchronize button presses to guide me through getting to mounting it. Copied over the entire sdcard, once the refurb got here just copied over all his **** (which had a tibu folder) flashed him to ff, restored and it's like he never chucked it across the damn room.

Alright. Cool. Thanks! shouldn't this work with my inspire too, as long as I only restore apps, not data?

i needed a good laugh this morning...
ya tibu restore apps (+ their data), no system data... (well maybe the green ones if you want, theres 8)

Interesting... phone works just fine after flashing stock...
Cognition problem it was, or so it seems.
Time to flash back. See if it fixes it.

[Q] Firefly Dropping signal when Recieving Calls

Hi there...Posted in the Firefly Q&A section but don't seem to be getting a response...I'm probably being impatient but it doesn't seem the Q&A posts are viewed as frequently as the forum itself...
I seem to be dropping my signal upon getting a call. It will ring for a brief second, and then it will go back to the home screen and loose reception, the caller will get a busy signal (didn't even know you could get those on cell phones...), and I won't get any missed calls (or any calls for that matter) in the log.
Subsequent calls have been met with no dial tone, and then straight to voice mail. At that point I won't have any indication that someone tried to call, not even a ring.
Is this a modem issue? I'm fairly new to flashing so I'm not too sure what's going on.
A reboot seems to allow it to ring at least, but only for a second and then the caller gets a busy signal.
This was flashed on yesterday night, and I'm pretty sure that was the first phone call I received since flashing. Tried calling myself from a home phone to the same results. Making phone calls works and sounds just fine.
Also: I am on Rogers if that makes any difference.
Thanks

Have you wiped cache and dalvik cache? Maybe a factory reset as well and then try it before you restore anything. Or Have you tried any other modems?

I have not... Im not exactly sure what I'm looking for... when I do figure out which modem to use... is it just a matter of installing it with CWM?
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I897 using XDA App

i cant tell you which one to try that all depends on your phone and area
try the ones labled I9000 the one in firefly is jk4 fyi..and yes a simple cwm flash is how you install a modem
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=876391

Just tried wiping caches and installing the JP9 Modem...Still no luck...There seems to be some sort of error that pops up on the screen right before everything crashes but it only lasts for about a millisecond before it closes down...Is there any way to see what that error is? Can still call out and it knows its getting a phone call but it still goes to a busy signal...Will try a factory reset if there's no other ideas

Go ahead with the factory reset ... If that doesn't work try flashing firefly again...sorry

I just discovered this same exact problem today too. Honestly Im a complete noob when it comes to flashing and modding. I just flashed to firefly 3.0 two days ago and i really love it but the call dropping thing is really frustrating.
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I897 using XDA App

It would seem the Factory Reset cleared things up... I have not recovered my apps via Titanium Backup yet...am wondering if it's something that it brings back that is causing problems?

K ill try that. Just to clarify, a factory reset will just wipe it to a clean firefly right?

One thing I did notice was that when I did a factory reset (I did it through CWM...should I have done it through Android?) was that SGS Tools was gone, as was Galaxy Kernel Flasher, and some others, but not ALL of the Apps (ie Spare Parts, Superuser were still there)...is there any way to get them back or should I reflash if I wanted them?

No need to re-flash, you can download the apps through the market. Factory reset from recovery or from android will give you the same result.

When u restore with titanium backup don’t restore system files and data only missing apps and data .that solved it for me when I had that problem but my backup was from 2.1 and I was restoring it on 2.2 I was not sure if that was is what's causing the problem.
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I897 using XDA Premium App

Good to know, thanks, I'll keep that in mind when I restore

- restored missing apps + data, system data through titanium after having done a factory reset
- notice that i can't change the wallpaper anymore (same glitch was happening the first time around too)
- also notice that my system data hasn't been fully restored
- reboot and notice the wallpaper is now changed and system data is now all in place... however, a test call shows the same problem (phone vibrates once then loses signal, caller gets a busy tone)
- reset to factory again
- restore only apps+data
- test call works
so far, so good!
thanks

Don't restore system data at all! That causes problems as you clearly experienced.

[Q] Problem Restoring Settings through KIES

Hi there, i have faced some problem here when i wanted to restore back my settings through KIES after i updated my firmware to LA1 using KIES too. i have not rooted my Gnote.
The problem is that it will take a LONG LONG time when restoring the 'miscellaneous content files'?
Anyone faced this before...Really appreciate your help...Thanks...

Yes! Very similar problem, if you replace 'a very long time' with 'a ridiculous amount of time'. It gets stuck around 76% and then just stops. As I've found with samsung software - it never actually tells you what it's doing, it just fails to do it.
My only solution thus far is to do the restore and deselect miscellaneous content files. Then the restore works fine. Unfortunately that means I've lost all my apps, and probably a lot of other stuff I'd really quite like. Going to call Samsung in the morning and see if they have an answer. Will post back if they say anything useful.

Restoring through Kies doesn't work
I'm having the same problem. I mean, how the heck are we supposed to back up our devices??
I had done a factory reset on my Note (for unrelated reasons) and backed everything up through Kies. But when I went to restore everything, NOTHING got restored at all, even though Kies said that the restoration was successful.
I've never had a problem backing up any of my phones in the past, and I don't know why it's so difficult with the Note. I'm looking forward to ICS coming out, but it's going to be a pain in the rear if I have to manually restore everything on my phone again.
Suggestions anyone? (My phone isn't rooted either)

Probably what we can do is to deselect the misc content files. To avoid losing the apps, we can use some software inside market such as apps backup & restore. That will settle both the problems of backup and restore.

You can refer to above.

It is more recommended to root your SGN and use titanium backup as the backup tools. Everything can be backup from using titanium backup.

Titanium Backup Problems?

Just last night my Titanium Backup has been locking up when I try Batch functions. I am on Doc's ICS but TiBackup has never given me a problem with any function until yesterday. Is anyone else having recent TiBackup problems?
Thanks

Not sure what the deal was but I just uninstalled and re installed TiBackup and it back working.

Just like jammed pistol...

Titanium Backup Locks
I am getting the same thing. TB is locking when trying to do any batch job. I did uninstall and reload it with no success.

Same for me! Hope this will be fixed soon!
