What sort of set up are you running there?
Stock, non-rooted N1? Or did you upgrade to FroYo over an existing install using Paul's zip? Any applications installed? When is the phone freezing?
Would love to help, but I think we're going to need a little bit more information from you first.

Previously rooted N1 back to stock rom prior installing froyo from Paul's direct install file for rooted N1 because I lacked stock recovery image.
Basic apps installed like ebuddy news apps etc. didn't install anything different from old install.
Like I mentioned phone stalls in while in sleep mode. Need to pull battery. Cannot soft or hard reset phone.
Ive been reading a lot on xda and didnt notice this occurring in pther phones thats y i decided to open a new thread.
Any help is appreciated thanks!

Did you wipe? If not, usually a wipe helps. I wiped and have not had a single issue of FC...Freezing or anything. I went from Enom to Wipe to Paul's Zip with Radio.

I have the same problem. Until now the screen stayed black after the other party ended the call. Had to pull battery 3 times.
Problem exists even after reflashing, wiping and clearing storage.
Im om pre-rooted frf50 from paul. Gonna try with an older radio..

does it work?

Im having similar issues with my 2.2 installation. I have it installed on my wife's non-rooted N1.
Not just that but the market is not even usable. Even if I clear cache.
Again, her phone is not rooted, I wipped everything from her phone then applied Froyo and its been a nightmare. Her phone isn't even stable enough to use and I cant seem to figure it out.
I need to find a way back to 2.1 without having to root her phone. She is adamant about me not doing that to her phone even though Ive rooted all the phones I've ever used with no issues.

I was having the same problem on my N1. Started suddenly two days after the manual upgrade to 2.2. The phone would either freeze to a black screen or sometimes the live wallpaper would continue but the phone was unresponsive even to the power button. Needed to pull the battery to restart.
It stopped after I:
* Turned off live wallpaper
* Uninstalled LauncherPro Beta
* Removed the Pure Calender Widget (was broken after 2.2 update anyway)
* Charged the battery (was down to below 10% when it started happening repeatedly).
Anyone one of them (or none of them) could have been the culprit. My guess it was one of the last two (PureCalender or battery) but haven't had time to troubleshoot it. Try some of these and see if it helps.

Ive tried all that on her phone. I just wiped it again completely and re flashed just in case that was the issue. Phone still had all the issues described in this thread.
I wiped the sd card, wiped all previous system files via the stock recovery and re flashed the update zip. You cant get anymore clean than that and its still so unstable the phone its unusable. I have to either hope soft booting works or pull the battery as a last ditch.
Is there any way I could downgrade her phone to 2.1 without rooting? I tried the shipping rom in the sticky above but it seems that isn't totally legit for stock use because the phone doesn't like how its signed.
I guess I could call google/htc tomorrow but who knows where that'll get me. The only bonus iud that her phone is not rooted so she didn't really have her warranty voided.

I was worried if I was the only one with this problem. Phone improved today (3rd day of using) but I didn't do anything to it. Only hanged once when someone called. Hanged on calling in screen and had to pull battery.
Only once compared to 7 times yesterday!

Yes until now it does. Sometimes the power button is reacting a little late but i havent had to pull the battery yet with the older radio.

You might want to download it again and flash that to see if you had a corrupt download. First copy all data from the sd and partition it. Just make everything fat. I havent used the stock recovery in ages so I cant recall if you can partition from there, if you cant, do it on the pc. Wipe everything that the stock recovery can wipe. Then try to flash your new download of the update. You can do this fairly quickly and its worth a try before you go through the process of reverting to 2.1.

I'll give this a shot when I get home from work. I'll report back on if it works or not. Thanks for the idea.

Interesting, not that I'm complaining, but after a few days of using 2.2 it seems more stable now....? haven't had any freezes today...yet.
Power button response also getting better.

HELP!!!

I flashed a new rom to my droid (MIUI rom) and flash a theme to it as well. well to cut a long story short, my droid all it does is constantly reboots. it gets to the eye, then starts to boot up process all over again, any way to fix this, please help.
Thanks very much

You have a backup? If not try wiping a few times and reboot

I tried that and it didnt work

You use rom manager or spcovery? Either way try going into recovery and flash a different rom you have downloaded
Sent from my Droid using Tapatalk

Try a different kernel maybe

it will not sync to market, usually only paid apps will re-sync. IIf you did not wipe data, system, that would cause a problem. Also, try Slayher's kernal, that might help.

Galaxy tab 8.9 LTE force closes

I have been getting a lot of force closes on my AT&T LTE tab over the last couple of weeks. Mainly gmail, Android browser and the google services framework.
Is anyone else seeing this same issue?
I rooted the tab back in December, but haven't had any issues outside this recent spat of fcs.

I havent seen this.
Did you install CWM? if so you can try fixing permissions.

I get the same issue. orlando where do you change the permissions at in the file system?

You can fix permissions with CWM recovery.
Are you guys using the regular root kernel, or the OC kernel?
This stumps me, because I cant figure out why it would work fine for a month and then start to have FCs.
If you have CWM try clearing your cache and dalvik.
Since the tablet is so similar to the skyrocket, I would suggest reading this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1386234
*dont do what the OP says though, just read it for info*
This also may be of help, but it would have to be modified. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1487706

I am running the normal root kernel, and no cwm installed.
I will read those threads, try the cwm permissions fix, and report back.
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I957 using XDA App

My force closes only happened after installing the OC with the LIB's pushed. I did the permissions fix and cleared the cache and dalvik. I'll let you know how it goes.

Hmmm. Started getting FC on YouTube now. Also am on stock. Not sure what happened but has been like this since yesterday. Not getting any other FC's though.
Sent from my GT-P7300 using xda premium

this is weird indeed.
The YouTube issue is widespread across tabs.

Yup I'm experiencing the same issues with Youtube. I didn't pay attention to Youtube because I don't watch videos via Youtube on my tab that often.

Looks like YouTube issue was fixed last night for tablets. This might not resolve OP but thought might be linked hence brought it up.

I have been talking to thederekjay, and he has written a tool for a more complete wipe than CWM can provide.
read here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1487706
I checked out the script and the partitions are the same.
I am thinking that maybe running this after flashing clockworkmod and the custom kernel would aleviate FC's if multiple people are having them.
I dont know though, and the tool needs to be tested. I will let you know what he says.
EDIT: He said this should work. I sent him the output from my adb shell mount with partition layout.

I used the script. it ran fine.
really scary when i flashed the stock rom through odin and it froze at the ATT logo. wouldnt boot past.
i booted into 3e recovery and wiped data factory reset and it worked fine after that. feels slightly faster but that just might be a placebo effect.

yea its fixed.
my only suggestion to the other people seeing force closes is to maybe flash stock, and root without using a custom kernel....
OP, are you still seeing FCs?

OP...has your problem been resolved?

Since fixing the permissions I have had any force closes

[Q] I957 ATT , touch screen not working after ICS upgrade

Hello,
I have gotten the stock ICS rom from samfirmware.com, Installed using ODIN and it all went green.
However, after restart the touch screen is not working !
I have tried the following:
1. First the Default (XXX) ICS rom
2. Second, the Actual ATT ICS rom
3. Flashed CWM and it is working
4. Then tried AOKP unofficial rom, not starting
No luck so far, any help is much appreciated please.

The touch screen was working after step 3?

It is the Odin version I have used,
One more note now, am not sure if that is normal if not.but after the latest flash ( preceded by a data wipe and format ) I can now see zip file I have placed on sdcard but can't access them for flashing and/or ad new zip files from pc

In cwm do a factory reset, wipe and format system and data and then boot. I'm hoping that will solve the problem.

Tried,booted, "SAMASUNG"screen only ( as expected sicne i formatted the system ), then re-flushed the ATT ICS and same output
Am trying to get a new ROM flashed, but when the device powers up [ without me going through the wizard ], i can't write anything to SD from my PC.
Any info around here about flashing CM or AOKP using ODIN for this I957 ?

Not with Odin that I'm aware of. All are zip files and would go thru cwm. If you get only to the Samsung logo, my experience has been a factory reset usually gets you past that and if that doesn't work flashing the stock rom with Odin does. And I'd flash the honeycomb rom and bring it back to they way I bought it, then upgrade to ics

I should mention something that has gotten me worried, i flashed a TWRP recovery to check if the touch would work there, but it didn't.
Not sure if i should be worried about HW now, or try another TWRP for instance? Or perhaps TWRP shares another flawed tab wide configuration with the Android image ?

It's not twrp, I use it on my tab and it Works fine. If you were the only one who has this problem I'd say hardware for sure. But at least one other person has the same problem after updating to ics. It seems like there something with the firmware interfacing with the touch screen.

Phone shuts down after reboot

I have been experiencing this for a while: after rebooting my phone, the exact momment it finishes booting up, it starts shutting down, no matter what custom ROM I have flashed, so it makes me believe it's not ROM related, but related to the bootloader or something like that. after banging my head against the wall for so long I couldn't find any solution, so I'd like to know what's your opinion about it.
Edit: forgot to mention I've tried all the routine methods, cleaning dalvik/cache, wiping system, data and even internal storage without any success, that's why I believe it is bootloader related, but I'm no expert so... If this issue has been addressed here please show me where as I've become empty handed

i have seen this happening only when the custom kernel is not compatible with the rom installed. the bootloader has nothing to do. we just unlock it to install a different recovery image that help us install any kernel and any rom

Maybe you should reflash the .kdz file to be completely stock. If this problem still occurs, it's definitely nor ROM related.
