Database Develop

switching on/off or rebooting...... = crazy things

hey there fellas
(i'm sorry to post my problem here in the development section but i guess it might be related to the lag fix)
My SGS is acting weird lately , dunno if its related to the lag fix ( [UTIL] One Click Lag Fix 1.0 - 2.0 ) ever since i got the phone with normal use iv never seen anything funny like this. it all started with lag fix version 1 , the phone was fast and with that fix even faster , the phone was all good started with the root as step 1, then it was the market fix, after that i was tempted to try the lag fix which was amazingly effective, went from version 1 to version 2 of it and then it started.
the phone took long to respond 'sometimes' when the screen was off and after a day the phone simply didnt want to get out of standby ( black screen ) so used the boot mode and formatted the phone , once the phone started i formatted the internal sd and rebooted and applied the Root-market fix-lag fix ver 1.0 in that sequence, now the phone seems a little weird . by weird i mean strange things r happening like when i goto the apps menu the icons move by them selves in a random way after a reboot. I set it up to show apps in the first couple pages followed by games , now its all messed up and i didn't mind it at all.
with my internet provider i really have to keep an eye on my 3g usage, and have been using 3g watchdog to keep track. now i notice everytime i restart or switch off / on the phone, the counter goes back to 0 which really gets on my nerves.
now to track the problem would someone point me in the right direction ?
could it be the lag fix ? could it be the program itself ? should i switch to another ? would i need a fresh flash ? my phone is working on eclair 2.1 version I9000JXJF1 , using kies since day 1 there has been no firmware update for the U.A.E and i dont want to risk updating to anything unless its official from samsung.
any help is much appreciatted ^_^

it's interestingly weird case.
i'll start by suggesting to wipe the cache data, and data in recovery mode or
*2767*3855#
WARNING! FACTORY RESTORE, DATA WIPE AND RESET TO FACTORY STATE, as soon as you enter the last # use it only if you want to clean wipe your phone

i started with the first and then was like WTH and went with the second only to find out its the same procedure hehehe..... anyways phone is fresh now , started with rooting then off with lag fix 2.0 ( hope it dont get that same problem again ) . Now i notice there's no bootup logo when starting the SGS ( the swirling S ) but the sound still plays , is this normal ?

I had this exact same issue when I was using SetCPU. Uninstalled it and the problem was gone. Also some of the custom kernels are having wake-up lag.

Are you using LauncherPro? If so, this is common behavior and might also be so with other launchers. After booting up it will sequentially load your apps and that's why they will seem to popup in a random order bouncing about in the menu. After it's finished loading everything it will all be back to normal.

Seems to me that you had a problem with applying your lagfix and that the phone doesn't store your app-data properly.
My recommendation is to update to the JM5 firmware. It's the version that's been most tested with the lag fixes. I'm running JM5 with RyanZA's Lag Fix 2.0 and SamSet 1.9e (except kernel). It works like a charm and have done so for the past week. No wake-up lag, crashes or other weird behavior.
Hope this helps, and good luck

First boot will always take longer time and might also affect the sync between the sound and animation. It's normal!

thank you very much for your informative reply
let me start replying to what u just told me
#1
I had this exact same issue when I was using SetCPU. Uninstalled it and the problem was gone. Also some of the custom kernels are having wake-up lag.
i dont have SetCPU installed as i have tried it for a few days and found it useless , since i dont have the 1.2 ghz tune i dont see why i should even keep the app, yes i saw how the app messes with the phone so i removed it.
#2
Are you using LauncherPro? If so, this is common behavior and might also be so with other launchers. After booting up it will sequentially load your apps and that's why they will seem to popup in a random order bouncing about in the menu. After it's finished loading everything it will all be back to normal.
no im not using Launcher Pro and i could see how it would affect the arrangment of the programs but it wasn't that. My guess is it might probably be 1 of 2 , either titanium backup or Mybackup pro after restoring the data and not the apps.
#3
Seems to me that you had a problem with applying your lagfix and that the phone doesn't store your app-data properly.
im guessing a maybe here since i dont know how it would affect my 3g watchdog's app or make it reset the counter, i switched to Network monitor ( not as good as 3g watchdog but it does the same job ^_^ )

just like i said id love to go that way but can wait a month or 2 till froyo joins the fun.

i hope its just a sync problem , but the phone gave up on the animation , after a couple of tries yea the logo simply isn't there anymore just the sound but i did notice a little faster boot up time this way with only a small vibration to indicate the phone has started.
i'll redo everything again 1 step at a time 1 app at a time , i'll delete my backups as i could do it just this time to get a good fix after a clean boot , and i guess i'll just stick with version 1 as i didnt see anything wrong with it so no need to jump to version 2 of the lag fix
could anyone tell me what app will back up all my sms/mms/call log without any trouble ? does titanium do that coz i looked everywhere and couldn't find anything regarding that
Thanx to everyone for your help ^_^
now to find a fix for that gangster game after redoing everything

ok new discovery
using mybackup pro to backup all the sms's and mms's restarted after the restore and boom
what i see now is the old background from before the *2767*3855# method and the apps linked to homescreen from before , could it be the trouble maker ?
ok now im not gonna use it and test the whole procedure all over again

ok i guess thats it... even after a factory reset the logo wont show up again T_T
any tutorials on how to flash the original FW safely ? where could i find my original FW ? thing is i need arabic lang and doubt the JW5 has it built in anyways im off for now....... ~ spends the night googling~

[Q] Update to Froyo 2.2 gone bad?

Hi there,
Today i decided to install android Froyo 2.2 to my galaxy s(dutch). I did this using samsung KIES, everything worked fine and i was told my phone would restart. It turned itself down but after the samsunglogo (the blinking one) the screen turned black while the bottom 2 buttens are lighted, it doesn't go passed this stage.. Also it vibrates ones in a while, sometimes 1 time, sometimes 3 short bursts of vibration. I still have the phone connected to my computer, what should i do? Jank battery out and pray for startup? Or are there any other suggestions?
Regards,

I had this problem.
If I remember correctly, I removed the battery and powered it on into Download Mode and reflashed it. But I didn't use Kies so it may be different.

Thnx, ill google around to see how to flash without keys, iam gonna jank it out

tried this guide:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=853950
But it sticks on SetupConnection and then sais he can't open the serial comport
ideas?
regards,

This is the Dev section, please move to Q and A.

tried again, went to firmware update start.. param.lfs then complete (write) operation failed... Iam getting a bit scared now!!

afaik this is for the mods
you could have done it the following way (as a reference for the future):
*) save the content of your post - delete the post
*) open a new post in the other section of the forum
use the search function and google
I'm sure there's at least one solution for you to get your phone running again

[Q] Need some help getting into Emergency - mode

Hello,
I just got my new Optimus 2x in.
After 2 days using it and draining a lot of battery life installing apps and getting the phone the way I liked it.
The LG apps installed on it started to annoy me bigtime.
So i did the most respectfull thing every tweaker does, i rooted the phone.
Installed the Titanium Backup software and started deleting LG apps.
The deleting part went perfect, then my screen turned black and the only thing working was the kill andriod app software on top.
So i pulled the battery and rebooted, nothing.... the phone got stuck at the LG logo.
Did a Hard reset Volume down + the power button.
It started the installation --> google login --> setting up extra account --> and then got the error about a wizard having problems.
So i guess my rom is corrupt.
Tried updating trough the LG software - emergency and got the message "not possible anymore".
Tried updating trough KDZ firmware update tool but it can not find the phone*.
*Downloaded the original firmware from a thread located here.
Does anybody know how to get in emergency mode so i can try different things.
Or maybe other options i could consider?
If not i'd might considering sending it in for warranty.
But it boots so there must be a way to get things working again.
Thx i appreciate getting all the help and ideas.

Im sorry to hear about your problem
Hope u can fix it
But may i ask how do u root it? I try z4root but no use...

I rooted it with superoneclick.
--small update--
If i skip the setup part after my google login, i can force stop the wizard error.
But it does not go into android itself, i get the top bar but thats it.
The LG software recocgnizes my phone but says it's OK and it does not need a update.
Wait for android 2.2.3?
That might do the trick, but then i might have to wait more than 2 weeks

1.Turn the power off. If your LG Optimus 2X is frozen, pull the battery out and reinsert it
2.Hold the Home and Volume Down button
3.Press and hold the Power button until the device turns on
4.Follow the on-screen instructions to reset your device
That's the only option, on this time.

Tried this.
It says S/W Upgrade
Please wait
while upgrading...
and then nothing.

Try boot your phone to android then connect it to pc and run adb shell if shell working put all apk,s from rom dump here.
You have to copy all files to /system/app.

I'll give it a try tomorrow, have to get to work in like 3 hours =)
Im done for today.

Actually, if you get the notification bar, Android is working.
Sounds like you just deleted the Launcher, did you replace it?
If not, adb install and new launcher and you'll be good to go. Although you'll want one on your system partition too!
Have a look in the "Safe to remove" apps thread.

That's it, that's the one i accidently removed.
Any idea how to put it back on the phone?
As described above your post, trough ADB shell?
Can someone post LGLauncher in this thread?

Download here LGHome

Thanks i downloaded it.
But the thing is i can't run adb it gives me the error: device not loaded.
Tried installing the google usb drivers, gives me a no can do.
Another thing i figured out is this: Installing LG PC Suite IV.
It does give me the device connected, but i can not update.
* Can sync contacts
* Can sync Favourites
* Can sync Memo's
But no update (because it's not out yet)
Isn't there a way to fool the suite there is an update but in fact it's just the old firmware and replacing it (making it a repair).

This Thread is discussing the same problem as i am, btw

Fixed!
Obtained the LGLauncher.apk and emailed it to my google account!
Got it out of the above link i posted.

as i said in the other thread you should use root explorer to copu the launcher to /system/app
if you dont it will be gone again if you ever factory reset.
And next time dont delete stuff... just freez it from titanium... Frozen apps are gone (cant be started by the system or seen in launcher) but you get them all back if you factory reset (so no risk of bricking)
OK... we dont get the few megs of free space by freezing... but that is not really an issue on this phone.

Need Help ..

hi im new here, so if i posted in the wrong section of the forum , please pardon me ..
anyways, i need help with my tablet, is made by huawei , not really sure what model this is but its just a low end device but still somewhat important to me since it was a gift. going back, i have rooted way back , and earlier today i installed an app called app root delete, it basically uninstalls app etc., now it has two options one is the safe mode and the other i forgot, in safe mode the app basically only disables/hides the app and you can later enable it again , and the other (the one i forget) totally uninstalls the app ,now for my problem , i was playing with using the SAFE MODE option, i was scrolling down and up since i was surprise there were alot of "apps" which i dont even remember installing , and while i was scrolling back and fort my tablet suddenly freezes and i accidentally "uninstalled/disabled" an app which im not suppose to, then i suddenly got an error message which i cant really remember but it said something like "androind.something suddenly stopped working" and it gave me an option to force close it , i kept clicking on the force close button but im still having the error message and thats when i decided to turn it off using the power key , and now when i power it on again , its always stuck on the welcome screen , i've tried powering it off and on several times, but still its stuck in the welcome screen , i hope you guys can help me. thanks in advance

Several issues with your thread.
1) Without knowing the exact model tablet you have, nobody can help you. You need to find this first.
2) Once you find out which model you have, search for its corresponding forum, and search there for information to help you. If need be, make a thread in its [email protected] forum
For what it's worth, it sounds like you are to have to delete all your data, and flash a stock ROM. Follow steps one and two, and you should be good.

first thing if it is booting normal and running just continues vibrate take care maybe it is hardware so install triangle away rest the counter go cwm recovery wipe everything then download mode flash stock rom that should solve the problem or remove battery and sim and sd for the next day then try if not do those steps and go to the Samsung warranty center

this is a DEV sub forum , not a Q&A sub forum , can't you guys read?

I just found the Q&A a few days ago..
I solved partially the problem with the vibration.

Did you ever make a nandroid backup (before this problem was happening)? You could try restoring to that. Otherwise, I hate to say it, but it might just be a hardware problem... I haven't done much with my mini 2 yet when it comes to flashing etc., but judging from my experience, there shouldn't ever be a reason for it to vibrate when it's in recovery mode. I might be wrong, but I don't think the drivers for the vibration motor are even loaded in recovery - so something very odd would have to happen software-wise - assuming that the drivers are not being loaded in recovery - for that to happen. If you still have a warranty on your device, I would restore everything to stock, reset the binary counter (with triangleaway or whatever it's called - I'm not exactly sure how it works, all I know is that it does work), and return it for warranty service. If the warranty is expired, then you could try to take the phone apart (don't blame me if something goes wrong, though) and see if there's anything obvious that might be causing problems. Other than that, I don't really know what else to say...

I restored the best backup i had , now it seems ok , if i don't push the power button and i close the screen with a application there are no problems , i removed the cover i take out the vibration and still doesn't work , now works fine if i don't touch the power button , a few days ago i couldn't enter into cwm or download mode , when i entered the phone was restarted and i couldn't do anything , now i have stock rom , removed bloatware , no oc and works fine and i have a application to turn off the screen
