I was rooting my wife's bionic after ics update, was using motofail, program just kept saying looking for phone so exited program. When I tried again in the top right hand corner some kind of log showed up. No idea what it is or how to fix it. Any ideas? I've attached a picture

Well... the ROM upgrade went well - took just under 8 minutes and seems to have worked perfectly (great job!). So I started reloading all the stuff I had on the MDA before that.
At one point, SOMETHING must have conflicted or gotten messed up, because PocketBreeze seems to have simply disappeared off my machine, and the little notification message at the lower left of the Today screen (over the calendar button/text) will NOT go away. I can click it, and it blinks momentarily - but NOT message comes up, and "notification" remains.
With Wisbar Advance 2 running, I also see an exclamation "!" mark in the today screen title bar as well -- I can click that too, but it behaves the same way. NOTHING happens! I have soft reset several times. No change.
I uninstalled Contact Breeze and Pocket Breeze, and then manually went back in via Explorer and deleted the stuff that didn't uninstall properly. I used MemMaid to clean out bad links and registry keys. I soft reset several more times.
Still have the notification. There should be NO notifications -- and even if there were, I can't see them by clicking on the notification message.
Any ideas at all? Very frustrating... I have a nasty feeling I may have to wipe the machine and reload the firmware, starting from scratch again, if I can't figure this out.

Arggggh! Finally found it. I started uninstalling programs, one by one, soft resetting in between. Sadly, it was after removing about 5 or 6 benign programs (and all their settings!) that the next one fixed the notification problem. It was SBSH "iLauncher". I have NO idea what it was trying to tell me, but while it was installed, I had a "permanent notification", and as soon as I uninstalled it, the notification disappeared and I can see the "calendar" button once again on the today screen.
Now...because uninstalls in WM5 don't really seem to uninstall much of anything, I've been manually going in and cleaning out all references to the old programs, because it seems that most of these cannot be reinstalled OVER the remains of their last install.
*sigh*
Some more uninstalls tonight, then sleep. Then hopefully, clean installs in the morning.

Hello all,
I recently dropped my milestone and it looked and worked fine. Just yesterday when I tried to take a picture with my phone it just showed a black screen.
The little options to change flash and stuff like that still showed up, but when I tried to press the shutter it just didn't work. It stayed black and it took no picture.
I was wondering if anyone knows what part I would need to order to fix it, or even if it's possible to fix it. =/
Thanks for the help,

Looks like a HW damage for me...you can run dmesg and then start the camera to see if there are any errors during camera usage...the best is when you plug your phone via USB to your PC and then start "adb shell dmesg > C:\adblog.txt" while adb is running, start the cam on your phone and after 10 seconds close the camera app and onb your PC press ctrl+c to terminate adb. Check your log then for any error that occurred when using the camera...
Oh I see.
Hm... I'll give it a shot.
I was curious, if my milestone is still stock would the process of checking the ADB be the same? If not, would there be any other way to do it?
I learned that using ADB is useful for a rooted device, so I wasn't sure.
Thank you,
lilhugo
adb works also with unrooted phones...but to be honest I don't know if dmesg can be used without root...u should try and report back...

Okay I tried it out and I think I would need to root it first. It said "Access is denied."
I typed in the command you gave me after I got to the "c:\sdk\tools" part. Is that supposed to happen? When I typed in just "adb shell dmesg" it gave me a huge list of things that were going on with the phone. It gave me a list of things that were Height and Width dimensions. It said "omap34xxcam omap34xxcam: w 1296, h 972 -> w 848 h 480" could that be related to the camera?
If all else fails I guess I'll try to root the phone first and then give it another shot.
Thanks,
lilhugo
Update:
I just rooted my phone and when I tried to type in "adb shell dmesg > C:\adblog.txt" it still gives me an "Access is Denied" option.
Did I happen to miss a step?
I start from the C:\sdk\tools area.
I also looked at what happened next after I typed in adb shell dmesg by itself and it says "unable to detect sensor" and "Regulator for vcam is not initialized"

I have the same problem I could hear the sound of autofocus when start the app, but I can see only a black image near the bar of settings and if I take a picture they stuck for a while..

if its hardware, the camera is seprate from the motherboard, it would be very easy to replace, just pull apart, pull out the motherboard, replace the camera, it just pops off the motherbaord.
Long time lurker, first time poster.
I woke up today to see my captivate screen showing blank screen (active black screen with buttons lighted up) being unresponsive. It was on it's charger from the night.
I pulled the battery to shut it down. It rebooted. I thought nothing about it until I tried to use it about an hour later.
I have had it on stock Froyo, with no root. Never have flashed any other ROM besides updates through kies.
Problems and things I've noticed so far:
No puzzle lock screen. Can't find it under "set screen lock". Only None, Pattern, PIN, Password available.
Home button and search button do not function(they light up like they are pressed, but not action occurs in any apps or home screen).
No data. Usually i'd see edge or 3g, but I have no data connection.
Text messages wiped. None available through "Messages"(though call log shows history of messages).
Keyboard was on stock android rather than swype(since changed back to swype).
Holding power button only shows "Power off" option. Before there was at least Airplane mode.
GPS was on(I hardly ever use it).
Location settings seemed to be default("use wireless networks" was unclicked)
Most other settings/app data seems fine.
About phone info:
Model Number: SAMSUNG-SGH-i897
Firmware version: 2.2
Baseband version: I897UCKB1
Kerner version: 2.6.32.9
Build number: FROYO.UCKB1

Other related things:
Day or two before I received a text message from AT&T to download Kies and use Froyo(Don't remember exact wording, lost the text message, but something to the effect it looked like a mass mailing text to update to Froyo using Kies). I was already on Froyo(flashed as soon as I found out it was available few months back).
I also got a text message about downloading their at&t app to manage my minutes and pay my bill(also already had that app).
My Captivate would randomly freeze/unresponsive a few times, but I didn't think much of it.
Google Music app seemed to randomly start playing the audio file i paused(just in my pocket, or once when i put headphones in to make a call).
Searching the forums, haven't found too much related.
One thread suggested using "home switcher", which I have tried(both Froyo and regular versions, though can't press home button for Froyo version). Neither seems to know what my default Home App is, but it only sees TwLaucher(I only have TouchWiz).
Tried installing an alternative launcher(ADW,LauncherPro), still no home/search button.
I'm without my computer for the weekend, so I can't backup my files and reset to factory just yet.
Anyone have any thoughts to fix this or know what may have went wrong?
I might finally make the jump to a Custom ROM if it'll fix this.
Yes, you should either flash a custom rom or do a factory reset. I will say an event similar to this, also involving text messaging, is what made me make the leap to Assonance, and then Serendipity, and I haven't looked back.

At the least, try a master reset.
You're not alone....
Two Saturdays ago, I woke up, grabbed my phone to see what time it was and my phone was going haywire. It as blinking, flickering and rebooted on its own a couple of times...without me touching it.
When I DID manage to access the phone after a reboot there was no connection. I couldn't call, send/receive texts, nor could I access most of the features (during one of the haywire moments, the phone popped open my "Gallery" folder and started running a slideshow and then shut down. Again, all without me touching it!) There was a distinct blue circle with a slash where the 3G bars used to be on the top right corner of the phone.
I did a factory reset and didn't help. Wiped everything off the phone, but the device was still going nuts.
I got the phone in mid-December and have absolutely pampered that thing. Never dropped, never scratched, never abused. So I was surprised when I took it into the AT&T replacement center that the lady told me that my battery was wet! Not the phone, but the battery. Those two white-that-turn-pink indicators are so close to each other on the phone that I can't see how one gets wet while the other doesn't.
So they give me a new phone. One thing I noticed right away was that my data usage went WAY UP with the new device. To put it in perspective, I used 100 mb of data in 29 days and 64mb IN ONE DAY with my new phone. I thought it may be a one-time fluke, but it's not. I am only 10 days into my new month and am already at 164mb out of 200mb in my plan. I have NEVER used 164 mb in the 6 months previous, let alone in 10 days.
Fun's not over yet. I noticed a lot of crashes and "Force Closes" with the new phone too. I didn't even have any apps downloaded yet and things were still crashing. Last night I pull my phone out to take a picture and...nope. Screen was all kinds of whacked out and it crashed. And still does now every time I open the camera function. I managed to get in camera mode fast enough to do a reset, but didn't work. The screen is fine otherwise. So looks like I'm back to A&T tomorrow for another round.
I'm glad you posted this, cause the same morning all this happened -- literally, within 10 mins of me waking up -- my computer (brand new - 2 days old) went berserk and shut off and my stereo started flipping channels, turning the volume, treble, bass up and down..BY ITSELF without me touching ANYTHING! It was pretty freaky. I wondered if I was struck by lightning the night before.http://media.xda-developers.com/images/smilies/eek.gif
I was finally able to get back home today and do a factory reset. This (somewhat) solved the problem. Everything is mostly back to normal(home button and search button work on home screen, lock screen is there).
Lost a couple of game saves as I had no method to pull a save file(was doing adb pull on some known file locations).
I did run adb logcat before resetting, and home button and search button seemed to trigger something, just not follow through(Search button did work in a card game as a forward button and home button worked in the kies app to exit, just never as a return to home button in apps).
I'll be looking to root and flash a custom ROM, especially root so I can do a proper backup in case anything like this happens again.
I just want to say thank you posting in q&a and doing research before and after your flashing started. Then searched after your problem. You're a new member of a breed that are few and far between. I will hit your thanks when I get on my computer, app doesn't have it. You will go far here.
Hello community,
I'm facing something weird with my Mi 8, This situation rose up.
I was using the Check for Updates just incase and I got the usual No updates notification. And I tried to click on the three dots upper right corner to see what's up and a message was there saying Download Update. I clicked on it and this is what's happening right now. It's downloading an update. I don't know what's really going on. Have any idea?
First time there was a message saying Can't connect to network when I clicked checked for updates, then on the second try it said No updates available. Then downloading option available.
Same here, it is just a small update which is already installed previously that ucan download over and over again, just ignore it.
Hi everyone,
I've tried looking for a solution to this online but to no avail - hoping someone could point me in the right direction here.
I keep getting the "Knox license validation completed successfully" popup on my screen. It makes it super annoying to text, read, etc, as it affects the bottom-most part of the screen. The toast is also literally almost every second (screenshot attached).
I can't seem to find what's prompting this. One moment I'm using my phone and it's constantly popping up - then I turn my screen off for a bit - and when I open again, it's gone. I've seen people mention Anydesk - I uninstalled it awhile ago; same with zoom. I only recently installed Teams, but the problem pre-dates that.
Any suggestions on how I can find out what's causing this and/or just solve it?
Thanks
