HD2 TmoUS stock rom. Been running perfectly until this am.
Went to the photo tabs via sens and everything froze. Now anytime i go to the tab on sense everything freezes and i am forced to soft restart.
I have tried
- disabling photos tab, soft reboot, re-enabling photos tab and same results
- disabling sense, soft reboot, re-enabling and same results
Searched and found nothing. Any ideas, short of hard reset?

Hi guys,
I have had the Galaxy S2 for just over a month now
I have not installed any custom roms. I've just updated it once and then rooted it after that.
I have had very little problems with the phone so far. It would rebooted by itself 2 to 3 times but it worked just fine.
The problem began when I turned my phone off. I can't remember why but I did and when I turned it on again apps would be crashing left right and center.
I pretty much have no access to anything since the crashes occur constantly.
It's the normal crash notification you see on the phone
ie. Sorry! Application xxx (in process xxxx) is not responding
ex.
xxx - TwLauncher
xxxx - com.sec.android.app.twlauncher
Pretty much all the applications that run at startup (including widgets) crash
I would click on "Force close" to get rid of the pop ups but
Logsprovider and Calendar Storage continue to crash making it impossible to use that phone
Any help or thoughts would be greatly appreciated!!
Thank you guys
I would try going into recovery mode and doing a factory reset, should sort it out.

is there no other way? i was hoping there was a way that fixed the problem but also retained my applications and data...
My SGS2 (original AT&T version) has started rebooting randomly once every 3 or so days. It doesn't appear to be triggered by any single thing or event. The last time it happened was when I was opening the Market. The device rebooted back to the Samsung Galaxy S II boot screen.
I've been pretty careful with the phone (only installed trustworthy looking apps, etc). The phone never rebooted in the first 30 days of ownership. Sometime after that it started rebooting with increasing frequency.
Has anyone else run into this problem?
I also had this issue. I returned my phone for another one. I havent had the issue on the new phone but I am crossing my fingers that it doesnt start doing it again on this new device.
Thanks for the input. I had an Atrix that also exhibited this problem after 3 weeks of use. Based on the similarities, I figured it must be something in common on both devices.
At first I tried removing the microSD card I had installed (same one I used in both devices). I still had reboot issues after removing the microSD so it probably wasn't the source of the problems.
I finally realized it was the Dolphin HD browser that was always 'involved' in the reboots. I noticed that I could sometimes trigger a reboot by exiting the browser. The device would stop responding and then reboot after a small timeout. Sometimes the reboots would happen after opening another app, but it was always preceded by exiting Dolphin HD.
I found a thread in the international SGS2 forums that talks about this issue: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1321612. It seems that it doesn't affect everyone, so it may be just be some combination of settings / installed apps that triggers the reboots.
For now I've uninstalled Dolphin HD and am using the stock browser. I'm going to use the stock browser for a while and see if removing Dolphin HD fixes the issues.
EDIT: To clarify, this only appears to happen if I 'Exit' the browser. Leaving it running in the background doesn't appear to cause reboot issues, which may be why I didn't run into this issue until now.
That looks really strange, dolphin never gave me any issues. However you can try using opera browser that is my main browser and supports all the features.
Soft reboot (back to bootanimation/homescreen) or hard reboot (back to Samsung screen)?

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
It automatically reboots back to the Samsung Galaxy S II screen. It then proceeds to go through the AT&T boot animation and finally ends up at the home screen. I assume this would mean it's a hard reboot?
I haven't had any reboot issues since I uninstalled Dolphin HD. I'm not sure if it's truly caused by Dolphin so I'm going to try a few more days without Dolphin before reinstalling it.
As a side note, I noticed some other issues which may or may not be related. These occur even with Dolphin uninstalled.
- Menu button sometimes not responding on the homescreen unless I go to 'Applications' and go back to the homescreen. Once I enter / exit the Applications screen the homescreen menu button will work again. Issue seems to be related to enabling/disabling the GPS from the notification bar, but I haven't reliably reproduced the issue.
- GPS not locking for long periods of time, even though it shows 6+ satellites in view. Sometimes it will lock within 10 seconds. My guess is some sort of AGPS download problem (maybe related to how supl is set to use wap.cingular?). A quick search on Google reveals a number of people suffering the same issue on the AT&T SGS2. All posts also indicate that it worked fine for 5+ weeks before GPS issues started to show up.
I'm trying to hold off on resetting my device back to factory defaults. I want to track down the problem instead of just assuming it was some bug that won't happen again. Based on the international forum posts, the Dolphin HD issue will come back eventually even with a reset.
Thanks again for all the input and help!
Yup that's a hard reboot. An app shouldn't be able to cause a hard reboot like this, but it is not possible to debug. Stock kernels don't have ramconsole for crash debugging.
I have this problem where when I click the home button to go back to the home screen, it would pop up this htc page & then a loading screen for about 10 seconds before I can finally access my home page, it's really annoying & happens everytime. I've been trying to find a way to fix it, tried restarting the phone & such. I would reset the phone, but not trying to lose all my settings, apps, data, etc. Can you please help? =\ I have a HTC Amaze 4G.
you could try deleting data/cache for HTC Sense, found under settings/applications/all. There are 2 listings for HTC Sense, delete data/cache for both. you will have to set up your widgets and such again though.
I had this problem alot with the sensation but never ever on the amaze?
Hello
I have my S3 since it was launched and worked perfectly until now.
Since 3 days it started to freeze, a very strange kind of "freeze". If have all off (wireless, 3G, sync etc) works perfect, no problems, any offline app works and games.
I turn on wireless or 3G, I go to google maps... after a while it freezes, I just turn on sync, after a while it freezes too... any internet activity after a while freezes the phone... it's impossible to use it, since it's freezing every time.
The freeze is strange, if it does while I am using the phone, the graphics are still on and working, the lights turn on when I touch the phone but no response, solution: reboot only.
If it freezes while I have the screen off, of course, it's like a brick... reboot also
I tried a hard reset, factory reset, changed rom, cleaned internal memory and hard reset and still the same problem.
Any possible solution without having to return the phone?

Hello,
I have an LG Mach. Today it has started running really slow and now it will not even let me use it. When powered on about every 3 - 6 seconds it locks up then after it unlocks it has closed all programs and it is back at the home screen with no data or wifi connection. Just like it just turned on.
I have tried soft reset and safe mode but it still does the lock up.
I tried to get the photos and contacts from usb but the constant resetting turns off the usb also.
Can anyone thing of a way that I can get the photos and contacts off the device before a do a hard reset?
Thanks
