Hi guys I'm on bionix 3 with JACs OC kernel with the latest voodoo and color fix installed. Since I installed the newest kernel my rotation has stopped working in all my apps. I downloaded an app to test my orientation sensor, everything is set to 0. I also dropped my phone after I installed the kernel so maybe that could be the reason...any ideas? Is there a way to test if items software or hardware related? If it is damaged hardware, should I unhappy and go to t mobile? any advice is greatly appreciated thanks!
Revert your phone to complete stock and see if it begins to work again. If it doesn't, then your best bet is to bring it back to Tmo.
I don't always complain, but when I do, I #BlameWes

thanks ill try to remove the lagfix and ODIN back to stock.
if i were to take it to Tmo and the stock rom didnt fix it, would they replace it under warranty, you think?
I'm almost positive they will replace it. Just don't tell them you dropped it!

Happened to me, requested a new phone because it would not orient even after wiping.
So I get the new vibrant and go to town and wipe again, removing superuser su busybox, when in one app I realize it orients....
It had been on lagfix and orientation worked. I moved it to ext2 on sdcard, orientation worked.
So I blame an app or something else I have not redone on this replacement.
Btw check your compass, stuck at north too isn't it?
Edit: Wasn't me knocking it off the couch if a wipe fixes it.....

some apps automatically put the phone in landscape, like the youtube app once you watch a video, but if you press back and get to the main youtube app page it will stay in landscape but it wont rotate to portrait at all until you get to the home screen which i have locked onto portrait....ill wipe and odin to stock and see what happens, but what did you t-mobile when you gave it to them? and how do exchanges work exactly? ive never done one before with a phone, do they switch you out right then and there or do they mail you a replacement?
Thanks guys for your suggestions =]

If you turn off auto orientation and exit your media apps, phone is in portrait, makes it more usable until you wipe phone.
I am not sure the stores do it past the 2 weeks, you call tmo and they might ask you to try things until they send you a new phone via ups, you put old one in a box and put the return label on and drop it off at a ups store to send it back, if you take more than 7 days, you get to pay for the replacement
pretty painless process unless you are impatient and say sure, charge me $21 for express shipping.

Hmm that is strange, but there were a lot of weird things happening when I had the rom and kernel combo I had before. I had long wake up lag, intense battery drain, and no rotation, but I odin'd, rooted, flashed the same things again and everything works fine now, I even titanium restored some apps and settings ran fix permissions and nothing weird happening yet. Idk what could have caused it before...
My accelerometers are very flaky -- I have been assuming it's related to my nearly-useless compass and my completely non-functional GPS. I use "Digital Speed" whenever I drive my '55 (which has a broken speedo cable at the moment) and sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't. Completely random, even after a fresh reboot.
Same problem here. Running Bionix 1.4. First noticed a problem when I installed a game that needed tilt to operate, it wouldn't work. Then I checked and the homescreen won't flip. Test apps show "no data" or "INIT" and no actual values for the sensors. I'm using the OC Voodoo version, is this a common thread with the problem?
Don't restore system setting from backup. It can kill the orientation. This is my experience.

Didn't.
I upgraded to Bionix 1.5 without Voodoo and the problem is gone. I thought maybe the 1.5 update fixed it, but another user is reporting the problem while on 1.5. I believe the Voodoo kernel is to blame at this point.

A full wipe worked for me, then again i never used anything too crazy. His experience suggests you should try it, oddly enough for me running the calibration tool, the error message talked about a stale nfs file
Reminds me of deleting battery statistics to reset the battery meter on other phones......and the full wiping/odin flashing nukes it.
Everything works fine on the replacement too with the same apps and fixes (minus lag fix) as before (orientation working wasn't found to be working before i already got a replacement on order :/ ), only thing i hate is gmaps 4.5.1 causing a load of 8.x+, enough to once get everything killed (uptime did not change although everything was reloaded, media was scanned as if it had rebooted) and a shut down the other time.

I just recently got the vibrant and got the OTA the same day, the gallery freezes about half the time, and about half of the time that it freezes i have to pull the battery, i cant get to task manager or put the phone to sleep and wake it up.
I searched google and there are alot of links regarding it but i didnt find any that gave any ideas to fix it.
I searched this forum and nothing came up. Anyway, I have a class 6 card, the gallery on my nexus is very quick and has never frozen, so it is definitely the phone.
In my experience with the g1, MT3g, N1 and now this vibrant, any time ive received an OTA it has come with costs, it always brings fixes and features but also causes new problems, large and small. So I dont doubt what I found while searching, that the gallery issue is a result of the recent OTA for the GPS fix. Anyway, its kind of silly that this awesome, technologically advanced device freezes when you open up one of the native apps. But can we do anything about it? And if not, is it likely that Samsung will address it in another OTA? thanks
edit: ive also just recently had my phone just turn off every day or so, and it wont power back on until i pull the battery. Maybe these 2 issues mean i have a defective device? Or is this par for the course with the tmobile galaxy s?
Overclock your phone to only run at 800-1000MHz. It completely solved this for me, 400-1000MHz still hiccups.
thank you, yet another reason to root i suppose...
So no way to fix that with stock phone? =(

That is odd, I've never had my gallery freeze or my phone reboot... Are you sure you don't have some rogue app? Perhaps you should factory reset and start fresh? Do you have any "junk" apps on your phone (stupid apps)?
I had a freeze on opening gallery right after the JI6 was released. I think it was trying to recreate the thumbnails from scratch and download pics from my Picasa acct.
Happened one time only and I actually had to pull the battery since it went unresponsive. Never had a problem after that.
~SB
perhaps unmount and remount the INTERNAL memory card. I've done this before just because I saw it as a suggestion and it recreated my gallery.
I having the same issue. I am ready to delete it and use a different app. Is that possible?

If you're rooted you can probably remove it.
I have tried factory reset so I don't think its a rogue app. I got the ota the day I got the phone so I can't compare before and after. If some people aren't having the issue period maybe a warranty replacement would resolve it. Of course, if we do end up getting froyo maybe that's something that will improve. Love the phone either way, I just get fed up with stuff like gallery freeze, random reboot, GPS issues, etc... stuff that i would think shouldn't get past product testing.
OP, this is discussed at the thread below. (use the search next time)
You are not the only one having this issue.

Quick Summary:
- Even with the removable card blank, the Gallery still have the same issues.
- I did a complete wipe and still have the same issues.
- I cleared data through System Settings which recreated thumbnails and other data, still have the same issues.

Wow i am so sick of reading some loser tell somebody to "search next time". You'll be so very relieved to know that I actually did search, and all i found out is that you dont have any friends. But honestly I did find your thread, however it didnt seem to me to be on point with what i wanted to ask specifically. Your post says that "watchdog" told you your gallery is a "resource hog" and that you have to kill it. I dont know what watchdog is, nothing told me anything i just cant get into my gallery app very often, so that didnt seem applicable. Also, i got ji6 the day i got my phone so putting the gallery issue in the context you did ("since ji6 update") didnt mean anything to me, i dont anything about this phone pre-ji6 update. All I know is that my gallery app sucks, your thread was a bit technical for me to be able to apply to my particular issue
Anyway, now my gallery freezes every single time i initially try to open it, i have had to pull the battery 6 times in a row, it works after the pull. This has been my favorite android phone (of 4) but now i just want to set it on fire and run over it with my car. I guess Samsung and Android arent interested in making their $600 products work, does anybody know how i can fix my phone so that it does what it is supposed to? Also im not rooted which i assume probably makes it impossible for me to fix? thanks for any help.

Hey Guys,
Having an issue that I just can't seem to figure out. First, my phone specs:
Running EB01 Modem & JT's EB01 Voodoo Kernel w/SuperClean 2.2 Voodoo, ASOP Lock, Power & Battery Mod (via Domush walkthrough).
Now the problem: my phone just shuts off completely when it feels like it and the only way to get it back on is to do a battery pull. Searched the forums and throught it might be the proximity sensor, but flashed it back to stock and it was fine. It seems to happen randomly. It's not the battery because each time i turn it back on it have plenty of battery life. I've tried freezing all my apps and it still does it as well.
Is there someting i'm missing? Anyone else have an idea?
Thank you in advance
My first suggestion is backup your apps and do a wipe wipe wipe. See if that corrects problem.
Let us know

I had that happen a couple times as well with SC 2.1. I only ran it for a couple days before SC 2.2 came out. After flashing 2.2 over 2.1, and wiping the cache a couple times, I haven't had it happen again. Then again I only upgraded yesterday, so it may yet happen again. Time will tell.
Posted from my EB01 SuperClean Fascinate with Voodoo
So far so good....I wiped x3 everything (cache, davik, everything) and it seems to have worked. Thank guys. I'll let you know if it acts up again.
Come to find out it was a rom prob, fixed in the forums, called the sleep of death.
Sent from my SCH-I500 using XDA App
FWIW, I did not have the problem with 2.2, and now have upgraded to SC 2.4, and the issue still has not returned. It does seem like I have to hit the power button twice to wake it up once in a while, but it never fails to wake up.
Posted from my EB01 SuperClean Fascinate with Voodoo
It seems to have only happen when you do the steps in a certain order. It's all fixed with the patch.
Actually, it's NOT been fixed with the patch. If you read the thread, the people that thought it worked had it come back after a few hours of use. The only way I've been able to "fix" it thus far is to go back to the stock ebo1 rom. FWIW, the problem for me seems to resurface after I access any media. The first time was after I listened to music through Poweramp and the latest was after watching a video in media hub.

Hmm, I'll have to check it out....I went through my photos and it worked fine after that. I use Audiogalaxy so I don't have music on my phone. I'll go run a video and see if that triggers it. Good looking out JJRocker
This so far has been an issue that's really hard to find info for and it's driving me nuts...lol. So yeah, even though I'm far from being an expert, I'm trying my best to figure out what's causing it so that I can work around it or better yet, help the devs out since they are the real experts here. Adrynalyne put a test patch up and asked people to report on it, so it would probably help a lot if everyone having the problem would post their results in this thread. He's the guy that's probably most likely to figure this out. Also, that link has the patch if you want to give it a shot.
One thing I should probably mention is that at least in my case, once the SOD surfaces, it happens about every 4th to 5th wakeup until I reflash the rom or go to another one. So if you've experienced it already, there's a good chance you won't be able to cure it without a reflash.
Ive noticed there is a certain population of folks who have it, and a larger population of those who do not.
I've been researching for hours on end, with no clear common resolution.
For some, not using Titanium to restore apps fixes it.
For some, my test patch works.
For some, a double reboot fixes it.
I had it happen once, ever, and it was on stock eb01. It never happened again. I myself have noticed increased instability on eb01 using maps and gps, however. A couple days ago, launching maps, and turning on the gps afterwards hard locked my device.
@adrynalyne
Exactly.
It seems that mine is fixed with the patch in both of your SuperClean 2.3 & 2.4, I've tried different media and it seems fixed. Only time will tell tho.
And thank you for all that you do with this phone. It had such great potenital and with you and folks like jt, it's making this phone amazing!
It's strange....I had it happen once this morning and now I can't replicate it. I have used Titanium to restore apps but I only restore one app, AndroidPit App Center. I need it to download ADW EX and Beautiful Widgets since they take PayPal and my debit card doesn't do foreign currency.
Anyway, someone at Android Central suggested avoiding ADW because people were reporting issues with the SOD and that launcher. So, I'm gonna run LP+ for a while and see how that works out.
I have been using ADW EX and no real problems...
...but I didn't think about it, I did clear out me Titanium Backup and just reDownloaded stuff this time. Maybe the backups are the culprit?
Well, right now I'm starting over on SC 2.4 and trying all the remedies I've seen posted thus far. I wiped data and cache, flashing SC 2.4. I'm going to skip the backup assistant since it might try to restore apps that were restored by Titanium. I'll run LP+ and flash a theme (VA green is my current fave...love the BA). Gonna restore my apps manually from the market and I'll even double reboot when I'm all done...lol. Anyway, wish me luck...the real test will be tomorrow at work. I use HandBase to keep track of things so I put my phone in and out of sleep a lot during the day.
And also, many thanks to Adrynalyne and all the other great devs here. The work put into this stuff is much appreciated. I wouldn't put this much effort into getting this working if SC wasn't such an amazing ROM.

When I redid it again my aps were automatically restoring themselves. So to save you some sanity, make sure you go into privacy and turn off "Backup my settings" and "Restore my settings" as well. It may be dimmed out, but it will sutomatically restore them as well. It's doesn't really do much from what I can tell (I still have to manually add passwords to wifis, which it says it backs up)
Ya know, maybe that's the cuplrit of this whole shabang
Ok, so I had the SOD on LP+ too. Out of curiosity, is anyone with this problem using Switchpro widget or another power control widget that changes brightness? The one thing that seems to always precede the SOD for me has been installing and putting this widget on my desktop. Also, one time I did have it before I installed the widget and checked my screen timeout settings...there was nothing checked which is the same as having the screen never turn off. Apparently, backup assistant restored the setting automatically from a previous flash. Also, I think Super Clean has a power control widget on one of the homescreens by default if I remember correctly. Everything was running great, couldn't get it to SOD, so I started installing some of my apps and put the switchpro widget on my main homescreen, and got SOD on the very next wakeup.
I believe I may have found my culprit!! But before I say, let me recap:
I backed up using TiB. Flashed everything back to DI01 and got the OTA update. Restarted, then flashed to DL09. Reboot, Flashed to Deoxed EB01. I also kept the origional kernel, didn't meess with it because I believed that it was the cuplrit, I am assuming I'm wrong. Everything was good. Slowly started adding programs back seeing which one will kill my phone. I finally found it......it was YouMail.
If you are using this product, you can have it on to your system and it will work. But as soon as it receives its notification of a New Voice Mail notification from their servers. It locks up. Hopfully uninstallation and a reboot will take it away, but only time will tell. I'll report back in.
Since updating to Gingerbread I've been randomly having to restart my phone because it will stop taking input from the keyboard. You'll see words suggested to auto-correct but nothing will actually type in the box. As soon as I reboot this is resolved, but it occurs 3 - 5 times a day.
Ideas?

I too have the same issue with the OTA. Tried these steps to no avail...
1. Reflashed Stock 2.3.4
2. Flashed Pudding and Unlocked.
3. Flashed a new ROM Alien
4. Installed SwiftKey (Keyboard) too
None of these have worked. I actually ran clean with NO APPS for 24 hours and gave up email and only used the stock text app and had the same thing happen. So I am stumped.
But the plus in all this I ended up running the Alien ROM and its blazing compared to the stock. But I typically have to pull the battery daily for the dang keyboard.
It really is weird how the prediction works so I can type a whole sentence but its not visable.
I hope you can get a suggestion.
It appears to be an issue with the process itself android.com.multitouchkeyboard. If I could find a way to just restart that process I think I can at least mitigate the problem enough to not require a restart every time.

So it appears to be an issue with Gingerbread build? That's great news
I hated the stock keyboard from the very first moment I got the Atrix. Shopped around for quite awhile before finding the ideal keyboard replacement, which for me was Smart Keyboard. I set it to the HTC skin, and it's the best keyboard I've ever worked with on a touchscreen.
No problems at all like what's been described here.
I'll give that a try. For me it doesn't matter which keyboard I've selected I still seem to get this issue. Currently using perfect keyboard free and it occurs on this as well.

If that's true, I would recommend a factory reset. I know, it sucks, but when you get an odd system based glitch like this (and it's a software issue) usually a factory reset fixes it. If that doesn't do it, something in the O/S may be corrupted, and installing a fruitcake build might help.
Earthdog, do you happen to have an SD card installed on your Atrix? I some how was able to recover the keyboard on mine without restarting by clearing the cache on the keyboard process.

I still have no idea. Some days I have a reboot once and other it happens 5 or 6 times. What Keyboard are you using?
I did discover a new mystery to the issue. If you type something in an app when the keyboard does not seem to work and lock the phone and unlock it the text is then visible.
Odd
um , im pretty sure you could just def get a another keyboard like better keyboard or swift or ect . you can download those in the app market and change the input on them . If that doesn't work then you could use a fruit cake to go back to stock . hope that works

Glad I found this thread. This has occurred on two phones now (atrix)
Also the clock in notifications freezes and CPU maxes the frequency. It gets really hot until it reboots itself or I reboot. I have been trying to fix this bug for a couple months now. Had anyone reported it?
It may have gotten this nailed down.
If you are having this issue do you have a SD Card installed? If so what brand and size.
After removing the SD Card and powering on does the issue go away?

It's hard to know for sure because it is not easily reproducible. I will run with no sd and see if it happens again.
So I have a Droid X2, now un-rooted and back on stock 2.3.4 and this is an issue I have had since I had the phone and have never found a fix. I have asked this multiple times on the Verizon forum for the DX and never get an answer...
SO every day I seem to have issues with my notifications going mute, sometimes, but not always, my ringer even goes mute. Usually once a day I have to reboot my phone because it is the only way I can fix it. I thought at first it had to do with my blutooth, but since SBFing and going back to stock I have not re-added my blutooth and it still happens. I took it into the store and he suggested that it is an app causing a conflict and I should uninstall 10 or so apps at a time to try and narrow it down... but I just went ahead and did a factory restore to see if it would help... but it happened again today...
Now, the notifications I use are ones I put on the phone. I have tried putting them on the SD and the internal and it seems to happen with both. I have also put them directly on and also tried ringdroid but it still does the same thing. The sound and notification levels will be all the way up, and when you go into the settings and try to pick a notification sound or ringtone, even the stock ones, you wont hear anything (and you would usually hear a preview of the sound)... The only way I can get the sounds to work is to reboot the phone and when it comes back, it will be fine... for a while. Sometimes have to reboot multiple times a day, but almost always at least once a day to get them back up...
Since you all seem smarter than the Verizon folks and have been a huge help to me thus far, I thought I would ask here and see if anyone else has ran into this and has a fix or if there are any known apps that would cause this. I have done searches but found nothing...

Okay... happening again. Nope. Music won't play. Says something about not being able to play that type of file. Just regular music that plays any other time. If I reboot the phone I'm sure it'll work. Any ideas?

No rom. I was rooted but un-rooted and went back to stock gingerbread...
I upgraded to android 2.3.6 overcome 4.1.0 (its a custum rom for galaxy tab). Lets see if it resolves the issue. I'll report back if the problem happened again.

Awesome... thank you!
I've had a similar issue but not exactly the same. I normally keep my phone on silent mode but sometimes during the day it will automatically go off silent mode. Seems to happen most often when the battery level is below half. I just learned to live with it. My alarm would deactivate by itself in Froyo, so at least this isn't going to cause me to be late for work like that.
Problem is solved here after last week's upgrade. I'd suggest flashing a new build if possible. I guess for some unknow reason, parts of the OS gets corrupted or maybe its a bug in device drivers for our android phones thats been addressed in later builds.

So I have a Droid X2, now un-rooted and back on stock 2.3.4 and this is an issue I have had since I had the phone and have never found a fix. I have asked this multiple times on the Verizon forum for the DX and never get an answer...
SO every day I seem to have issues with my notifications going mute, sometimes, but not always, my ringer even goes mute. Usually once a day I have to reboot my phone because it is the only way I can fix it. I thought at first it had to do with my blutooth, but since SBFing and going back to stock I have not re-added my blutooth and it still happens. I took it into the store and he suggested that it is an app causing a conflict and I should uninstall 10 or so apps at a time to try and narrow it down... but I just went ahead and did a factory restore to see if it would help... but it happened again today...
Now, the notifications I use are ones I put on the phone. I have tried putting them on the SD and the internal and it seems to happen with both. I have also put them directly on and also tried ringdroid but it still does the same thing. The sound and notification levels will be all the way up, and when you go into the settings and try to pick a notification sound or ringtone, even the stock ones, you wont hear anything (and you would usually hear a preview of the sound)... The only way I can get the sounds to work is to reboot the phone and when it comes back, it will be fine... for a while. Sometimes have to reboot multiple times a day, but almost always at least once a day to get them back up...
Since you all seem smarter than the Verizon folks and have been a huge help to me thus far, I thought I would ask here and see if anyone else has ran into this and has a fix or if there are any known apps that would cause this. I have done searches but found nothing...

I'm certainly no dev, just an avid user who likes learning and tweaking to get the most from his phone. I recall having similar problems with FROYO stock or rooted which as I remember went away when GINGERBREAD came out. I've been running DZK's CM7 beta as my daily driver since it was released with virtually no problems and unlike most other ROM's does not need multiple tweaks and scripts to scream with the exception of a wifi and/or dialer glitch that looks like Moonshadow has recently fixed. Sooooo unless HDMI is a deal breaker I'd suggest you flash CM7 and see if that takes care of your problems just remember to abide by the cautions regarding use of TBU to restore apps. And lastly as a rule of thumb I reboot my phone every morning once I get to 100% charge...force of habit I guess.
Good luck

Thanks everyone... I havent been on because it strangely hasn't been happening. Not sure what changed. Did not uninstall any apps, and have not had any updates (as far as I know... well besides app updates) and for some reason it hasnt been happening lately. Again, no idea what changed. Still unrooted on stock 2.3.4 gingerbread and phone seems fine now. Been happening for months and when I finally come here to get help, the problem seemed to have went away. I will keep you all updated if this changes. Hopefully if it is happening to anyone else, it has also been fixed... Thanks again for all your help. Really appreciate you guys helping out this noob
what i did
i have an mb870 too with no service running google voice and groove ip . my issue with notifications
was with my kids hitting all the button selections she could. in the process my message notifications
got defaulted to the wrong messaging app. i was still getting messages but no tones or vibrations.
so i just went to all the messaging apps i have and made sure to select the right one for the default
hope this helps
I purchased this app and I am having an issue where it wont save the settings.
I posted on their help page saying I couldn't get it to save my settings and thought maybe I was doing it wrong, and got this reply.
Hello,
you are not doing anything from. This is a well known problem on some Samsung devices, since the update of Android version 2.2.1. The settings of some apps are not saved permanently. Once this problem occured, this will happen again and again.
As the problem seems to be caused by a bug in Samsung's version of the Android OS I am afraid to say that we can't do anything against it. We hope that Samsung is about to fix the reason of this in the future. Maybe you can contact the Samsung support, that they hopefully
accelerate working on that issue.So unfortunately your device is affected by this problem. Some people told us that a factory reset helps them out of this really annoying problem, but I won't guarantee for anything. That's up to you.

Now I have been running the Galaxy S since launch day and my Galaxy SII since December. I frequent the forums here daily. Yet I have never seen or experienced anything like this happening before. Is their reply BS or have I missed something in my readings? And if they are correct, is it fixable with a hack? I really like the program.

Weird. I use business calendar, and haven't noticed any issues with it not saving settings. I honestly don't make too many changes to the defaults though, so maybe it's something you are doing that I am not? If you want to give me a specific case that you can reliably reproduce, I'll give it a shot to see if it loses that setting for me as well...
All I have to do is open it and it goes right to the 'Welcome to Business Calendar' page nearly every time. I change the week to start with Sunday and the day to start at 7:00am, then when i reopen it goes back to the welcome page and my settings are gone.
Oddly it did that for a while, then it seemed to not, then it started again.
It does it for sure right after a reboot. I stopped rebooting to see if it would fix it but it doesn't.
I was considering switching to CM7 to see if that fixes it, but I like ICScrewd.
have you tried reinstalling the app? Maybe something happened during install. I also have Business Calendar and never have any problems with it (and I've changed the settings in the app, just as you are trying to do)

I'm also running ICScrewD (2.1, with Entropy DD 3/7/12 ATM but also with Siyah .13 for a while). Just tried changing week start day to Sunday (actually, shoulda done that a long time ago ) and could not duplicate your issue - closed out and re-opened, and it opened back up to the calendar.
As my friendly nemesis Mr. NYYDynasty said (yeah, I live in New England, I'm a BoSox fan ) it could be a bad install. You might also want to try clearing app data from
menu>settings>applications>business calendar>clear data
before remove/reinstall...
Good luck.
Thanks guys, I will give that a shot. I pretty much figured I would get better advice and help here on XDA than I would from the developers help page.
I will post back what happens after i give it a bit.

Well clearing data didn't help. As a matter of fact, there is nothing showing in the data indication before I clear it. 0.00B. Do you guys show some kind of volume on that data? I have nothing there or in the cache.
Its not saving anything in there I guess? It will work fine until I close it out. If I force stop it and then reopen its back to the welcome page.
I will try deleting and reinstalling.
edit: Nope, didn't fix it. I did have 16.00kb in the data section after a re-install and save so I was hopeful and it even showed that amount after a reboot but still went back to the welcome screen and lost my changes after the reboot.

Fwiw, I show 160k for data, and zero for cache. Not too many calendar items at the moment.
I got no clue though why it isn't working...

I run this app with no issues. Have not seen the behavior you describe. Do you by chance have both the free and paid versions installed at the same time? If so, delete both, reboot, and just reinstall the paid version. Just a wag....

I purchased the app straight off. Never tried the free version.
Deleting data and uninstalling has proven unsuccessful so I guess we are out of luck here.
I guess the developer was correct in saying some Samsung devices have an issue with it.
I am happy with the way my phone is set up right now but if I change the rom I will give Business Calendar a try then. Maybe a wipe and reinstall would change things. I am kinda holding out for CM9 before I do that though.
Seems to have been fixed when I switched to CM7 and then to RockRatts Cobra v2b. That leads me to beloved its not really a Samsung issue but rather a formatting issue.
