Hi,
I have a rooted GT-i9000m (bell Galaxy S Vibrant). I used the one click lag fix to root my phone and it works fine.
A few days ago out of no where all the apps started auto closing as soon as i opened them and then both the menu and back touch buttons lit up and the screen went black. I held the power down till it rebooted only to get and error with com.android.calendar even tho I never use the app. When it finish's booting none of my installed apps are showing.
The first time it happened with com.android.app and I did a full wipe and factory reset and just reinstalled everything.
Ideally I don't want to system reset to factory settings again and lose all my files and notes that i copied back on to the phone 2days ago...
Please note I have tried clearing the data for the calendar app in settings -> apps and i cleared the calendar back up. My problem is that none of my installed apps are showing...
(Update) I also cant reinstall or update apps due to a Installation error - Insufficient storage. But there's room on both SD cards. I also set 850mb for apps when i did the one click lag fix and i don't have 850mb of apps installed.
(Update 2) I did a factory reset again this time i didn't format the internal and external SD cards. (It works like new again) Thus I got to keep all my personal files and ring tones ect. The only thing that was deleted that I didn't back up is my Notes. This leads me to my new question whats best for backing up apps on a rooted SGS (bell Vibrant)?
If anyone has answers they would be much appreciated.
i had the same problem
install rom manager from the market place
there is a option in there "Fix Permissions" just run that and it will fix it up for you
only takes 1-2min to run
Tried what you said but i cant install anything... I get Installation Error - Insufficient storage available.
I now understand the cause of the problem. I change my battery once and some times twice a day. At first I would wait for the long shut down (untill the screen goes totaly black) and then take off the back and swap out the battery. At least 3 times the phone would boot up and ask me for the network unlock code (I bought the unlock code directly from bell for 75$). I found this rather annoying so i tried just taking the battery out wile it was on (idle) and it appeared to work flawlessly at least 20-30 times before the phone would start to do an endless force close loop cycle. This kept forcing me to do a factory reset on the phone. I can only assume the one click lag fix and my disregard for the need of the shutdown before removing the battery must be all the cause of my problems.
I will try and see if my phone is more stable with out the one click lag fix.
nope that is not the cause of the problem
but it sounds like you are another victim of the lag fixes that is killing your internal SD card.
not the fault of the lag fix, it just make the problem apear sooner than later
I have been having a similar issue and I'm using Voodoo lagfix. I think it's because I took the battery out before it had completely shut down.

Well the phone bit the dust today. I opened up google maps to look up an address and it crashed with the usual error. So i rebooted the phone and now it stays stuck at the boot logo. (the glowing S with both touch keys staying lit) So i did the recovery thing again but this time I had to do the Vol-up + home + power in order to get the phone working some what. IDK but it wont let me log into my google account to sync my contacts. My APN settings are correct and working and I even tried off my Wifi at home. I'll just hope its a google problem and not my phone acting up. Thanks for the pointer to the bad internal SD. That may be the problem kinda hard to prove it to Samy thoe...
I get force close errors after about 4-7 days of use. Now its gotten worse. A few days ago I was looking up an address and my phone crashed and rebooted it self. It then hug at the S boot logo for 20mins. I got to my friends apartment building to find my phone still stuck at this boot logo. I couldn't remember his apartment number or buzzer code... Normally i just check my contacts list and buzz the code. I was standing out side in the Canadian fall cold wind trying to get this phone to work... OMG i almost just smashed it on the spot. Anyways I remembered about something i had read on this forum about the recovery mode ( i had used it to root ) so i tried that out got the little menu and tried every option before having to do the dreaded factory reset. Well nothing work with the exception of the factory reset it got my phone working in about 5mins... LOL
Anyways I thought I might try upgrading the firmware when I got home. What a mistake... I cant control my phones MP3 player via my bluetooth car stereo any longer. Tried everything even a factory reset and formatting the internal and external SD's. I tried running it with out rooting it again and with out the lag fix in hopes that I wouldn't get a force close error. Wouldn't you know it about 5 hours after the factory reset un-rooted just after i finish coping over all my music. I get a force close error! So I tried again and this time the phone ran for about 30hours before it started giving me force close errors about the email now...
Sigh I've tried just about everything in my power to make this phone work. So I assumed it must be the phone... I called Samsung up to get a RMA going... Wouldn't you know it they tell me that I have to call my carrier to get it RMA/repaired. I try to explain that I bought the phone with out a contract and bought the unlock code from Bell so I could use it on Fido. They tell me to call Fido... ROFL Fido wouldn't even give me their APN settings when i got this phone so knew they would be of no help. They don't even have one android phone in their line up i tell the sammy rep. So they tell me I should go back to the Bell store I bought it from to get it repaired/RMA'ed.
I doubt Bell will be of much help but here's hoping.
Do you think my phone is broken, bad flash, buggy memory, ect and needs to be RMA'ed?
Update...
I got my phone back from repairs 2 weeks ago. They flat out replaced the phone for a new one. This was a huge headache for me because the new one wasn't unlocked. Took Bell 2 hours to get the new one unlocked wile my wife waited out side double parked downtown! (I thought it would be a quick pick up and I would be out) The blue-tooth works flawlessly again!!
Much to my dismay the replacement phone has started acting up much like my first one did. It gets several force close errors a day and has gotten to the point where it no longer can send or receive text messages (using Handcent). The stock Music Player app also force closes at random with more frequently. It looks like I got another Lemon. This time around I did NOT root, lag-fix, or flash firmware. I will be sending it for repairs as soon as I can afford to buy another phone to use wile this one is off at repairs. My back up phone is a 3~ year old Iphone3g that my son has made his... (cracked screen, vol rockers dont work, power button is jammed in, the LCD screen it self is bleeding on the top edge)
The Vibrant never let me down other than as a phone. As a divx player or using all-share it rocks! I use these features A LOT to play my 720p divx movies on any TV or the projector in the bedroom .
with that being said I might keep the phone just as a portable movie player to bring from place to place and put my sim in something more stable.
This is the LG REV. Great phone. I have it rooted, and several things frozen via Titanium. So, its been a few days, haven't downloaded anything, all my songs are good from before I rooted, no issues. This morning, my phone was off. My wife didn't touch it, I didn't either, I got up and the alarm was supposed to go off at 430, but I was up at 5 to check it. So there is that. Then I was driving, and Tune in Radio lost its connection, so I made a call to the wife to say hi. Ended the call, and went to turn on the radio, and it stalled so bad, I had to reboot. Well when I booted, I lost data connectivity. I booted, battery pulled, and lost it for about an hour. Finally I booted, called the wife to see if it would bring data back. It didn't. I rebooted again, and then hit Google Maps, it took a second, but the satellite popped up, and boom there was the data stream. What do you all think?

As for the alarm:
If you have a task killer/manager/stopper whatever it is....make sure you have the ALARM ignored/excluded/blocked/etc.
Also...make sure you didn't freeze your alarm or the alarm widget with TiBU
I'm having major issues with my revo today. I went to bed last night with the phone on the charger after using it with no problems. This morning The alarm did not go off and I woke late. When I checked the phone, it was a blank black screen. No response to anything I did. I did battery pulls and it would seem to boot up, I'd get to the Verizon LTE screen and it would go black and just vibrate occasionally.
I did a factory reset and now it boots to the Lock screen but when I unlock it everything is blank. No responses to the buttons.
I received a phone call and was able to answer it, and now I can make calls but only from my contact list not from using the dial pad.
I'm off to the Verizon store fora probable replacement.
I have had some similar issues. I held out on taking it in to try cubed's rom but I'm still having issues. I have had a couple mornings that my phone was off, as well as a few other times it randomly turned off. A couple times it was while on a walk using SportsTracker. Three times when receiving a call the phone froze up and vibrated constantly for several seconds until it rebooted. Finally, I've also had a few times that data randomly stopped working. Guess I'm going in for a replacement today.
Yah, I think I am going to unroot and hang on that for a few days, and see what happens. I have had data hang ups the last few days, programing stalls. I have had to do battery pulls and all that fun stuff.
The phone: HTC Incredible S
The country: Canada
The Network: Telus
The OS: 2.3.3
The Sense: 2.1
Extra info: Not rooted anymore, problem started bout a week ago, dock mode openned alone when I plugged it in to charge at night via the oem htc usb cable and box.
The problems:
-Calls automatically go to speakerphone, both outgoing and incoming.
-No media sound plays from speakerphone or wired headset.
-No locking/unlocking screen sound
-No ringing sound when an outgoing call is connecting, Just silence until the other person answers. (makes it very awkward)
-Phone will randomly go into dock mode when I charge it at night and sometimes when it's in my pocket in the middle of the day
-When I make a call, I can press the home button and then go into any media (music, video etc) and if I play it, magically the media sound does play (at the same time as the call is on). As soon as I hang up the call, the media sound shuts off even though the song keeps playing (I can see the time advance, just no sound)
When I receive a phone call, text, voicemail etc the notification sound/ringtone plays well and loud.
I can only assume the phone believes it's in dock mode all the time?
Settings:
-Car panel set to NOT auto-launch
-Dock mode set to NOT auto-launch
-Media sound is set to high
-Flip for speaker is off
In the past week I have been going crazy. I have unrooted my phone, reset everything to factory, done factory resets like 4 times so far...took battery out for 3 hours...nothing worked. I have also tried wires headset routing fix, didnt work. I have tried installing invisible dock, still didnt work.
NOTES: I bought this phone second hand a while ago and have no waranty, nor do i have 250$ to buy another one. I am willing to root, use es file explorer to delete the dock mode completely, and change whatever code to make the phone forget dock mode exists. Or just make it not do anything when it enters dock mode.
Any help is greatly appreciated!!!!
Thanks
(Before I get slammed for not searching, I have been searching for over a week on this stuff, haven't found a single person with all the problems I list, most people can use headset for media or have some different issues, and half those threads don't have answers...which is why I came to the best tech forums )

aaah, now I got it yeah, try deleting everything that has sth to do with dock. Or at least deactivate. definitely a weird-o-problem
You do have a situation that is unusual for sure.
The only thing I could suggest is that you try the WWE GB 2.3.3/Sense 2.1 ROM to rule out the Telus crapware in your current ROM.
Since you have a IncS NA model PG3212000, you will need to use the pre-rooted stock version in the Development section, so you will need to root and install a custom recovery in order to flash it.
The ROM you want to look for is the WWE 2.30.405.1 version:
WWE 2.30.405.1 stock ROM

I have just purchased an ebay dock, I will try to dock/undock it.
Also to delete the dock APK's do I have to be rooted? I kinda just unrooted yesterday haha... I will have ES file explorer, just I would think I'd need superuser to delete those kinds of files? (Sorry I am a noob when it comes to rooting...thank god for this noob friendly forum which assisted me in rooting it last time )
Also I have tried plugging/unplugging usb cable and headset didn't do anything, I also have toothpicked the hell out of all holes (lol) on the phone, she just doesn't seem to like it (lol again)
I will get some compressed air and try getting crap out...
EDIT: As for telus crapware the phone was originally with bell, I unlocked it and got a custom rom without bloatware, however now that I unrooted I am back with the Bell ruu/rom installed with all bloatware inclussive. However this started before all this back when I was rooted, and persists through unrooting.

You can just try to disable the dock.apk. No need for root, just go to manage apps screen

How do I "disable" an APK? I can force stop "Dock mode" however there is no disable option,. IE even if I close it, it would be able to run again. Also there is no dock.apk, just the dock mode icon in app manage...Anyways even when I force stop dock mode, the problem persists. I believe is may be a physical issue where the usb pins are always touching or something like that and it automatically disables media audio AND launches dock mode...rather than dock mode changing the media sound.

I know that there is no dock.apk it was just a random name, that you get what I mean Mmmhm... that's bad, you can't disable every app. It works with most of them but some are just too deep included. If you get yourself root access again you can kick the apk by using RootUninstaller
Quick back story, bought ZW3 and turns out it never made any sounds. Purchased a second one while the first went back to Asus for repair. When I got it back, I confirmed that it was working fine and then I shut it down, out it back in it's original box and put in closet.
After spending the normal time getting the watch and the phone to work as I wanted, I believe everything was working as it should. Then AW 2.0 finally came, and a little more learning, no problem. But then the phone goes to Android 8.0.0 and and I'm back to frustrations, such as no longer when you select your watch in the BT list of paired devices, does it say "connecting" or does the BT icon ever show it's connected, battery life now sucks, blah blah blah.
About 4 weeks ago, ZW3 #2 half the time the sound is low in volume and distorted like a severely blown speaker. So I shut shut it down and pull out ZW #1 and it doesn't want to connect to AW. Eventually I end up defaulting it but holy shizzle sticks! It takes forever to load ll apps and finally update to AW 2.0.... like more than half a day!
Now I bring you to yesterday and ZW #1 stops making sounds altogether AGAIN and on top of all that, I can't get either watch to be seen or therefore connected to AW on the phone. I have repeatedly uninstalled and reinstalled the app on the phone and 90% of the time it opens and sits on a white screen with the logo. Other times it goes to the "Set Up" screen and the first time I set the permissions and such, and after that it goes to the "Select your device" screen but never sees either one.
Now, if I "forget" the devices on the BT setting screen, it pops up with the request to pair and the code, but that makes no difference in AW functioning.
So, What little hidden step am I missing? I should be able to switch back and forth between to identically set up devices, or at least connect to one. So frustrated, plus now I have to figure out how to get Asus to realize that they didn't fix sh!t.
send all three in and tell them to give one good one.
You know you have to have both watches paired to phone, You cant just take second zw3 out and try to use it like it was the first one, do you? Yes? Ok.
Now if there is still problem:
1.Factory reset watch (unpair from phone from within the watch settings)
2.reset wireless connections on phone (will loose all wifi networks and BT paired devices)-but this helped me get rid of wear app misbehaving (like you wrote-forever sitting on splash screen,etc.),
3.clear data and cache of Wear app and then uninstall it
4.Restart phone.
5.Pair the watch.
I know it was after the update in September when my Android Auto stopped working.
At first, it was only in my car. I'd speak to it and I see the four color bands moving so it is definitely listening to me. Then says nothing afterwards. I tried "Navigate to Taco Bell"
Before, I could just say "Taco Bell" and it gave me a list of the nearest Taco Bells. I haven't been able to do that since C104 (CLT-L04 Canadian phone).
Now, even on my phone, it won't say anything and shows four circles staying still on the very top.
I wish I could go back, I hate Google Assistant but when I turn it off, my phone won't listen at all and I can't do simple commands so now I have to keep it on, but with the silent treament, I get that crap from my kids and my wife, I don't need this anymore.

Man, can you tell me your car model and annual model?
I found out it was permissions. I fixed it and now it's ok. Before, it didn't work in any car
