Yup, reorder. Or restore from backup.
oh yea, apparently my contacts are gone too. terrible, guess i'll have to restore then, ugh.
thanks.
oh and i just thought... why does that happen?
you must have pressed the home, back or volume buttons while booting, that enables safe mode

hey guys, I don't know what's going on with my S7 but yesterday was working fine and out of nowhere everything started to FC! From twitter to "Google Services Framwork", Gmail, browser, tweetdeck, calendar, voice, I can't pretty much use it anymore, I haven't done any new app installations so i don't know what's wrong! is it just me, or anyone else having this problem??
Any help will be much appreciated!
Thanks
That has happened to me 4 or 5 times. It's like half of the device gets erased but the apps are there. Everything force closes. I end up having to erase the device and re-install everything. Reboot into recovery if you can't figure it out and format the system and data. For some reason when i do that, i keep root. Not entirely sure how that happens, but one less step for me. I think root is power and one of the volume buttons.

ha! i remember I already did that. After the Update we had, and I exchanged mine for a new one I decided to stay with no root (i don't know why! lol) so I guess I'll reset everything and go back to root I figured at the end I was gonna do that, but I was trying to see if it was just me or there was a fix
thanks man!
ok, so since yesterday I've been trying to factory reset the DS, and when it boots back on, everything stays the same!
I'm a little confused now, if I take a picture and I turn the tablet off, when I turn it back on, the picture disappears. Same thing happens if I move widgets, delete or create new ones on the screen, they go back to as the configuration was on friday night! GV not working, and the last message that shows there, same thing, shows the last one on friday. I don't know what can I do.... should I call dell??
duck tape and dynomite
stupid thing started crashing yesterday FC this and FC that ....cant restore it as i no longer have write access to the internal sd card
1) tried nv flash
2) tried restoring from clockwork
3) tried pushing files through adb
4) tried fastboot ....
if i didnt just dump money into this thing id blow it up ......
any help would be appreciated.......any tips to fix it or kill it completely so i can get another one
actually deleted all of the files on internal sd card and uninstalled every program on the device looked completly stock ....rebooted it and it went back to how it was yesterday ......theres gotta be a reason why other are having the same problem that started on the same day .....maybe dell pushed an OTA update and screwed us ......just a thought cause mine was fine till i went 4g yesterday so my sis could post facebook pics ....not sure but hope we can figure this out
Samething happened to me
Hi, did you ever find a solution? my streak 7 was ran out of battery, before it shut off, the screen started flickering and then it turned off. after it came back on, it looked like it was fine, everything looked normal, but then everything started force closing, haven't found a solution

I'm running stock, and I discovered the hard way that you can't let the S7 battery run all the way down. The S7 will not power itself down in time. I had the same issue, and the only way around it was to do a complete factory reset, using the menu button from the main screen. I think the reset is in the "About" section, but I don't have my S7 with me now.
Being used to WM6, which powers the device down at 5%, I was not expecting the device to do this, but there it is.
dell streak 7
im not sure if I am the only one with this issue you but becareful with the streak 7 mine well both of mine wont charge properly and the newest one wont charge at all. i have to send it back to dell for them to fix it. Im not sure what cause this but my only advie is to never use a different charger for it only dell chargers. Im guessing that it messes up the battery callibration and then it gets really hot when charging
hey so i have a Samsung captivate and i just installed continuum v5.5 but every time to turn off my phone all my apps get erased. what can i do about that?
You flash the rom from cwm 2.5? That's my guess...
Try reflashing from where there. With talon kernel that has cwm 3.

im sorry but im really new to this and i have no idea what that means. All i have one is install the new package and now when i turn off my phone all my apps that i downloaded from the market get erased.
What you were on before you flashed that?
Anyway...from where you are now just boot into recovery
Wipe data/factory reset
Wipe cache
Go into advanced and wipe dalvik cache
Then reflash the rom.
umm for some reason i cant get into recovery mode.........haha any tips on that first
Turn off the phone. Hold volume up and power...that should do it
The extended power menu while it's on...
Or adb...
I have been trying those. none work, all that show up is a white screen that have AT&t and that says world phone. what should i do?
wait up!! AT&T screen?? FOUND THE PROBLEM!!!!!! although i have no idea how you have been able to boot at all... you still have stock eclair/froyo bootloaders. thats a gingerbread rom requiring updated bootloaders..so how it even got into the os is confusing me?
use this:http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=995143
then take a few days and READ!!! you skipped a HUGE step.
Im so confused now. it just stopped working? when i turn on my phone all that shows up is the AT&T world globe thingy and i cant get farther then that. I tired clicking the power and volume buttons but im just stick on the globe thing. is my phone like broken now??

no. if it comes on its not broken.
what you need to do is pull the battery...and leave it off. come back to the forums and after you have spent several hours READING up on what exactly you are doing to your phone THEN you will have the knowledge to fix your phone.
this **** shouldnt be taken so lightly if you have literally no idea what you are doing.
yaaaaa i think im going to be done with all the rooting thing in till ive learned more about it. But is their a way to get it back to the way that i bought it.?
Yeah you just put it into download mode and use odin one click
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I897 using XDA App
This is a perfect example of why I ask that everyone to spend at least a day learning about what they are doing before doing it. Flashing a Rom to your device has some very major side effects if even one step is done wrong.
I tried to put it in download mode. it doesn't work, my phone will turn on and off but will just sit in the start up screen but thats all that it will do?
You will need a jig to force download mode.
Go to mobiletechvideos.com he has a video on how to make one actually heres the link to that video:http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Rdn5GoRjhn0... if you can't get yours to work or think it might be to difficult after watching the video he also sells them pre made for under 10 us dollars.
There are also quite a lot of useful videos for beginners to watch and learn about what you're doing.http://mobiletechvideos.com/blog/?page_id=31 that whole page is worth a look...
so theirs no other way to get the phone back to normal? If their isn't anther way to get it back to normal then can i just call AT&T to send me anther phone because this phone is only 3 days old??
thats what all of my posts have been trying to do. get you to normal.
especially the ones WITH LINKS!!
yaa ik, sorry what i was trying to say was that is their any other ways to get the phone into download mode that doesn't take making that JIG?
with phone off try holding both volumes and inserting the usb cable thats connected to your pc.
or take out the battery, plug it in and hold the volume buttons, then with the buttons still held indert the battery.
if those dont work the jig will. its easy to make...or if you cant manage its cheap to buy...
what is it with people so resistant to trying to make/buy a jig? both ways its under 10 bucks, and that beats the hell out of not having a phone, and the frustration of trying everything else before you get around to a jig. make/buy one now you will have it for future use. its never not handy to have. i made one before i flashed anything so i would have an out if it went bad.
Okay well thanks to everyone who helped, im going to try to make the jig thingy but if i can't make that then im just going to throw it against a wall and use the insurance to get a new one. thanks though
I've had a hunt around the forum and the net in general to look for solutions, but haven't come across the same issue.
The tab was running Overcome 4.10 just fine, but I decided I'd wipe everything in CWM and go for some ICS action instead. I used every wipe option.
In retrospect, I should have RTFM, but I used every wipe option in CWM.
After I did this I rebooted the tab and it went back to CWM. I decided I didn't want to do anything there and then, so I turned the tab off and came back to it later.
Hit the power button - no joy. Plugged in my charger cable and after a few seconds it came to life showing the battery charging screen, but it did not change from the first few seconds where there is a spinning/loading icon over the battery. I've left it plugged in for well over 4 hours in total now and still no joy - the battery screen comes on and goes off of it's own accord.
Now, I'm hoping I just have a dodgy charger cable and I'm going to resolder it just now while I wait for responses.
Any suggestions if that doesn't sort it out?
EDIT -
I've resoldered the cable and it's made no difference.
Also, a bit obvious, but I didn't mention that it will not go into download or recovery mode. The turning it on whilst touching the screen trick doesn't do anything either.
EDIT 2 -
I opened the tab up, disconnected the battery for a few minutes and reconnected. No difference.
adb, Kies and one-click unbrick don't see the tab. Win7 has seen the 2 sd card directories, but couldn't mount/access them. This isn't consistent, though.
Any ideas? I don't know what else I can do

Thanks for your reply and the links. Unfortunately, I've tried everything in the first thread with no luck.
I think I'll practice my soldering and try AdamOutler's UnbrickableMod.
I'm curious what exactly bricked it :-/ Wiping the battery stats with no ROM in place?
Oh well

Hmmm... this looks more like you messed up CWM. Normally, if one chooses to shut down his phone while in CWM, after reboot it gets back into CWM on auto. Try getting into CWM or download-mode by holding the buttons untill you see something happening on the screen.
If that fails, I guess you have a new goodlooking paperweight...
Any idea how CWM might have been messed up? No battery stats maybe confusing things? I find it strange that it did reboot into CWM after I wiped that stuff and then after being powered off it did not turn back on.
A mystery, but you're right - it is a very pretty paperweight

I rooted my phone a while ago and tried to speed it up a bit by getting rid of pre-installed applications that I never used[e.g. Twitter, ect.] Apparently just removing the system files won't get rid of them. I don't remember all of the files I removed, but now the Contacts app won't work right. I don't think I did too much damage though because I got Twitter to disappear, and the contacts storage is the only thing I have a problem with force closing. Does anyone know where I can find a list of all the apps pre-installed on the Droid 3 or an easier way to fix this mess I put myself in?
Do a system wipe?
i read somewhere that a guy had a different phone but the same problem, and when he did that, he couldnt use his phone for anything afterwards
haha! i'm so stupid. you're idea worked. i had to hold m down while powering the phone on, press the volume keys at the same time, and do a user\data reset. -my best Mr Burn's impersonation- "EXCELLENT"

Good to hear!
I was messing today with how to root my phone and something went wrong. Now when I turn on my phone its pitch black, the only thing that I see is the the battery and signal strength at the top of the screen...Everything else is blacked out. Nothing is working. I assume that I did something and I need to reinstall my Android system. Any help?
