Somebody Knows ?? WHY!, Mikevhl and owain94 are doing a nice work
ADW EX and Root explorer is not free, so I guess the xda moderators closed the thread.
we are making updates now and when those updates are ready we delete those two files so threats are back between now and 3 days i guess
The rom doesnt have an alarm app? couldnt find one.. + my market broke so...
Btw
I had some random restarts, 2
Market stopped working and just crashing now.
Any ideas?
And once there the rom did have some weird acting regarding touch and responce... Though only for half a min, perhaps a memory issue?
Anyone else experience problems?
Did a wipe, format cache/data/system before restore. Installtion ok.
Saw the threads were closed... Ill paste it here then, opened the thread started writing and then it was closed.. hope u fix it soon and bring some progress news like camera half done or so
Thread will be opened up soon. Need to have a couple of paid market apps removed and everything will go back to normal. also, this thread should be in general.
Original thread has been reopened. Thanks for all of your patience.

nice 2 hear

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.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=805784
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.

hi.i updated the facebook app this morning and everytime i press messages or friends it force closes.wondered if anyone else has this this problem?? im runnin wolf's v06 which i cannot compliment enough,any help would be great,thanks
hi i'm also getting a similar experience but using rendeiro2005 [MOD/ROM]scamble_v01.2[CM6.1.3].
however my initial problem was the contacts were not syncing with facebook. i so ended up completing uninstalling the app, removing the apk from the system/app folder and then reinstalling from the market (this was a fix on one of his previous roms), it still didn't work so applied the contacts fix from wolf and it worked ok - however I now get fc on messages within facebook.
i was going to post in the dev section but not enough posts yet to be allowed..

yeh im going to have a tinker round with is and ill let you know iv tried reinstalling doesnt work,but ive had facebook working fine so its probably not rom related. if all fails il post in the dev section,dont like disturbing people though their working on gingerbread...the sooner the better lol
hi, it seems everyone is having problems with the new facebook update.ive gone back to 1.5.2 and all is working again. ive uploaded it for you.if you cant roll back on the market like i couldnt. gd luck
brill thanks - just go tback off holiday and tried the older version of FB and works perfectly
I can't post in the thread because I am new which is completely ridiculous, but I just wanted the camera apk from Task 10 since the one on Task 11 force closes. I'd really appreciate it if anybody can upload that for me. Thanks in advance.
here man http://dev-host.org/ojzt02lxvujw/Camera_Calc_Fix.zip and this one is for screen capture http://dev-host.org/y4qy3beiw9ov/ScreenCapture_Fix.zip flash them in cwm, these files were posted yesterday on the thread by task so next time take your time and ready it please
If that doesn't work...
Remember to read the OP very carefully. If you are still having problems after the fix (I am, but it is just a lag with the back button showing up) WIPE EVERYTHING. Read Task's OP completely for directions. Also, the new GT11 Slim is missing the ASUS weather clock widget. I added it back using the Meta file in the camera fix and throwing the apk in a zip folder with it. Flashed with CWM and it works fine. Still checking on what is also missing/broken. Otherwise this new update is pretty smooth.
Anyway, use the fixes and if you have anymore questions, feel free to ask.
Thanks a million guys and I apologize for not thoroughly checking the thread (even though I read it every day lol). Appreciate the links and I love this tablet to the bone. Blessings.
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.
Best regards - Anthea Neums from Business Calendar Support
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....
Sent from my GT-I9100 using Tapatalk 2 Beta-2
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.

I've got a question, hoping somebody here can give me a hand. I'm currently making a CM9 ROM for my Inc S, it's been compiled with dsixda's kitchen on Windows 7 64bit. I've gotten it to boot successfully and everything seems to be in working order. One problem though, whenever I go into the settings menu and try to access the storage settings, it crashes saying "settings has unexpectedly stopped" At first boot up, the MicroSD card also fails to mount. Not quite sure what's causing this problem, I'll look into it further myself tonight. Figured XDA might have some solutions for me though, so I asked.
Thanks. :good:
Edit:Useless
Feel like an idiot for posting 3 times in a row and bumping my own thread yet again... but I changed the question in the OP since I figured out the old problem on my own. Felt it was better to bump this thread and change the title/content instead of making yet another thread.
Once again apologies for the multiple posts.
