[Q] Aplication problems - Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

A friend of mine bought a i9000 with some problemes that he thought he could solve but he couldn't so i post here hoping you can help him.
His i9000 works just fine until you wanna open some app or surf the web,his apps keep crashing,he can't save something on the phone,if you take a photo it does not get saved. If you wanna try and reset it to factory setings the phone crashes and after restart no changes have been made.
He tried to resoft it but he could not find a full andoid software for i9000,he find only updates to recent versions of andoid.
I hope that you understand what i've said and have a solution for my friend. Sorry for my grammatical errors.

Andoid version 2.3.6 Gingerbread
He can browse with file manager but when he tries to delete something it says like this(Media file scaning) and after this the deleted file reappears.
His internal memory has only 400 mb ocupied of 6 Gb,i don't think memory is the problem.
Every single app is crashing.

I also had a problem with subway surface in my gt-i9001 when my Rom was official gingerbread that when i close the game screen go black so i had to Disconnect the battery and put it back again but when i change my rom to cm 10.1 the problem has gone :good::good::good:

My suggestion is that its a software problem i would reflash stock android keep in mind using the right files be careful at this stepp ( make sure you have a i9000 not some koren or some other version ) then i would go to a custom jb rom since there are alot of them here.
Hope it helps good luck

Can you give me a link where i can find stock android.
He tried to instal a custom rom but when he opens the files from phone,it says (BAD) , don't open and the file are deleted automaticaly. He also said to me that if he puts something on phone memory,the phone does a memory scan and after that the files disapears.
Someone said him that phone motherboard could be the fault.

Hmmmm it could be corrupted internal memory if you look around the forun here youl find loads of threads with similar problems

[Q] Aps dont remember allready instaled

Hi
I apologise for my english
Thise happened 4 times allredy.
If i install app (no matter wich, last time it was Astro from market) it opens with wellcome window and setings etc.
I close it.
Next time i open it it behaves like it installed first time, opens wellcome window setings etc.
That happens to ewery app installed aftervard.
It is like aps think that they are just instaled, even if i set them and everithing.
Factory reset.
Everithing O.K.
After some thime all start to happen again.
It dosent matter wich app start thise behaviour first, it is random.
I woud like to know why thise is hapening, how i can prevent it and how i can fix it (without factory reset) once it happens.
I need detail instructions and explanation becouse i dont know anithing abaut android.
I use Galaxy S, no root, Froyo 2.2.1.
Thank you in advance
Iztok
Go to Settings > Applications > Manage Applications and open the all applications tab. Go to Market, tap it and select Clear Data. Then go back and open the Android Market..open My Apps and all should be well.

That dosent work and i have feeling that you misunderstand my question (becouse of my english).
Thise dosent have anything to do with market. It dosent matter if app is from market. Any app behaves like it is just installed. I apologise becouse my english prevent me from posting question more clearly but your answer have nothing to do with my problem.
Thank you for your answer, and i use thise trick twice before when downloads from market didnt start and market FC.
On some other forum i got replay:
Seems that your phone's NVS is not working.
But i coudnt get them to explain to me what that mean. Anybody know what that means and how i can fix it?
Thank you for your time
Iztok
Anybody understand what i am asking?
Someone had problems with applications that never remembered her configurations,he had to rewrite some linux path for permissions by adb.But there is a fix permission in rom manager,don't know if it can help I'm not aware of that kind of stuff.
Really I'm giving tracks without knowing...and my english...sorry.
Hey! I have the same problem..so annoying. If i run twitter i get a welcome mssg and if i run it couple hours later or reboot my phone..it lost everything..so welcome etc. .all appz does it :-(

Let's try fix permission in the recovery or by rom manager from the market.Don't know for sure but something like that.(hmmm maybe safer by recovery)

Don't know much either,i mean never tried it myself, the option is in the recovery menu with certain kernels.I see it in my recovery on 2.3 with chainfire CWM.
What rom/firmware/kernel have you?
I'll be sorry if that's not a solution for you but by searching google for your concern that's the only thing i can see...
Thank you.
I did search and didnt find anithing (my english is not good)
I have:
PDA:I9000XFJS4
PHONE:I9000XXJPY
CSC:I9000MOTJS2
Build Info:2011.02
Is that answer to your question?
I didnt root or install custom mods or anithing. I have vanilla Froyo 2.2.1
I also had this problem.
Both my apps tweetcaster and hullinail were telling me to register my accounts even though i already did jus a few hours ago.
Emailed tweetcaster who i didnt get a reply from.
Emailed hullomail, who told me to send them a log and after a few emails told me i needed to reset the phone. This solved it.

for AriesParts.apk I have the permissions:

Are yours the same? Are you able to tap it to install through a root browser? I have that option using root explorer...
Also which ROM and kernel? We need more info if we are going to help you.

I got the same result, no matter which way I installed it...
I'm sorry I couldn't be more help, possibly beock or someone else will know why or how it won't install/how to install...
A post in the ROM's thread probably wouldn't hurt either, since it came bundled with devil kernal

[Q] Help plz!!

A friend tried messin around with his tab when he doesnt even know how to jailbreak an iphone 3g... The tab wouldnt even boot past the Samsung Galaxy Tab screen, but it was able to get to download mode... I used a guide to update it to gingerbread using odin, and everything went well! I opened odin, selected PIT and chose the P1_add_hidden.pit file, then i selected PDA and chose the P1000NVFJP6_P1000NUBJP3_P1000NUUBJPB_HOME.tar.md5 file, and i made sure i checked Re-Partition, Auto Reboot, F. Reset Time, Phone EFS Clear and Phone Bootloader Update.. everything went well, but on recovery it was unable to update the systemfile.. but everything else on recovery updated and installed fine! as it reboots, it gets stuck in the bootanimation in the part it says Samsung glowing.. did i do something wrong? how can i fix this? I am still able to get to recovery and download mode fine..

Why do some people think its rational to use absolutely ridiculous titles like "hlp plz" etc etc??
Please use common sense and use descriptive titles, ie a short title that describes your topic for people browsing the forum. "help plz" does not describe your topic in absolutely any way other then somebody using a completely generic title.

[Q] SPH-P100 trouble installing CM10/CWM

Googled, searched, prayed, sacrificed a feature phone...no luck.
I have CWM4xxx on the Tab with RandomROM.
I want to install CM10 (p1c), but the install in CWM barfs basically saying it cant figure out that I have a SPH-P100 (error7)
I'm thinking the issue is that I need CWM5 to install CM10, but I can't find CWM5 anywhere for this tab.
yes? no? i'm an idiot?

Ok here's what you do get a zip program on ur computer I prefer winrar. Open up the ROM zip DO NOT EXTRACT IT, navigate to /META-INF/com/Google/android and open up the updater script in notepad. Start from the beginning and delete the first line up until the first semi colon you see (delete the first semi colon too ) and save and close the the zip and flash

Sent from my SPH-L710 using xda app-developers app
to return to CM9 from CM10 you need to restock to GB because of the incompatible MTD partitioning.
Yea...which makes it a huge PITA to do it that way. So much stuff all over the place it makes it real hard to figure it out
Sent from my SPH-L710 using xda app-developers app
what is the real issue? backup and restore?
Buy titanium backup pro.
Or is it hard to get stock ROM for CDMA tab?
The process of Odin/Heimdall restock is less than 5 minutes.
I did it many times (uncountable by now) on my P1000.
The actual step is where the pit file is loaded, making the partition "stock" again.
i am having the same problem can someone show me exactly what to delete?
i figured it out .

Rom manager

I heard from a thread that using rom manager bricks this phone if you have a partitition and I'd bought the premium version before partitioning my sd card, just want to ask, is this true?

Go on CWM, its healthier for our Ace!
It has nothing to do with having a partition or not.
It bricks the phone anyways. Better remove that app, its dangerous if you don't know what functions of it can be used safely.
Oh, so the whole thing bricks it? Why is that, also I am using cwm anyways

Mostly the motherboard i think, people reported that they had to get new a motherboard installed in order to unbrick it.
Hmm, that's confused me, I thought it would have broke it system wise. I know how to flash, root, etc, but I'm not exactly sure how they all work, but I thought that flashing just overwrit the system+os. So two questions, when you root/flash does that interact with the hardware in anyway and how?

Rom manager ... flashes new recovery ... with wrong mounting points ... making your phone useless it will be like having the light switch of your kitchen in your bed room and your bed room light switch on your attic ... know what i mean? Nothing will work !! Since the phone will change the mp to points that dont exist on your phone.
