Hey forum,
1st question:
I flashed cm7 a few days ago. Just an hour ago, I haven't been able to connect to any phone or data networks. I restarted my phone and now I get a force close message, "the process com.android.phone has stopped unexpectedly. Please try again.". When I hit force close, the message comes back 3 seconds later. If tried the press the power button and turn the phone on and off a few times but that hasn't worked so far.
2nd question
I went into cyanogenmod settings>interface>notification power widget>widget buttons, and checked the "toggle2G/3G" option. I checked it out and decided I didn't want it anymore and went to turn it off but it grayed out, making it impossible to uncheck it. Any ideas on how I can make this go away? I have restarted my phone with no luck.
any insight on these questions are greatly appreciated. Thank you.

So turned on my new Gtablet this morning, after leaving to charge overnight. Booted up - with no welcome setup screen - set up wifi OK and got the message to update to 3558.
Started that off, it seemed to run OK; after about 5 minutes I briefly tapped the power on button, as the screen had gone dark, and got the message that read something like, application android media.com has stopped unexpectedly (sorry I didn't write it down) and forced closed. The download didn't proceed any further so after another 10 minutes so I cancelled it.
Powered down and rebooted. The welcome/setup screen now appeared. I accept the licence agreement set the date/time and press next.
Get message: "The application Tablet setup (process com.tapntap.welcome) has stopped unexpectedly. Please try again.
I have now repeated this about five times with exactly the same results.
I am really at a loss what to do next. NVFlash restore? Format SD card?
EDIT: Fixed by running recovery with the stock 3558 ROM and instructions from here : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=842000
Thanks for the post. I was mighty PO'd when my new toy crapped out on the first use.
I'm Sorry if this doesn't warrant a new thread but I honestly have no idea what to do.
I am running the latest stock program, and have rooted with z4root because I wanted to try a few of the nifty little tricks on this website.
all was running smoothly until one time, I turned the device on and needed to put it into airplane mode asap (because obviously I was on an airplane and apparently they frown on that sort of thing) so I held the power button to try and access the menu with the airplane/sleep/turn off buttons (sorry about the lack of technical vocabulary, I'm fairly new to this whole side of computers) and the device just switched off again. Perhaps I was a wee bit too liberal with the power button, I dont know. Anyway, when I tried to turn the device back on, an error message appears claiming (with some variation) "the application K9 (process com.google.process.gapps) has stopped unexpectedly. Please try again." after I select force close on the first of these notifications, a notification for every app i have downloaded (all from handango or whatever the g tablet market is) comes up. I force close them all and then another comes up saying "the application google services framework )process com.google.process.gapps) has stopped unexpectedly. Please try again." I try force close and it comes up again and again and again.
I have attempted to clear the cache etc. as suggested in various fixes on the forums, but as it doesnt actually turn on (the error messages and force close loop happens just after the TnT loading) I cant access the g tab in anyway via another computer as it doesnt even recognise that there is something plugged in to it.
Any help would be more than appreciated.

I pulled down the update this morning (finally) and now I am not getting my ring/chime when I receive a text or call. Just vibrate. And no, I'm not on vibrate... If I go into settings>sound and try to open the volume, ringtone, or default notification menus, the settings app freezes. Eventually I get a pop up asking if I want to wait or kill it. I've waited and waited and it never works. Killing it and trying again doesn't work either. Neither does a reboot. Everything else seems to work ok, from what I can tell so far. What is going on here?
Not sure if there is any relation, but as it finished up the app updates during the upgrade (I think it said starting apps) it froze. I did power + vol- to turn it off and then rebooted. Got the upgrade successful message.
Thanks for your help.
My phone froze on the exact same screen and I ended up doing the same thing. Here's the thing: From what I can tell, the phone wasn't really stuck. For some reason, it might take up to 2 hours for some people to make it past that point. So, something is running in the background, even though it is stuck.
If you perform a Power + Volume Down force shutdown, when you reboot it will eventually tell you that the install was successful. But..., everything that it needed to do wasn't really done. In my case, the only way to fix things was to perform a Factory Reset (not as scary as it really sounds). That fixed it for me.
Can't say it will work for everyone, but I do recommend it anyone who performed the forced shutdown because s/he though the phone had frozen.

woke up this morning.. recalibrated my battery.. Now i can't send sms messages. Typed *#*#4636#*#* into my dialer went to phone info and changed network back to lte/cdma/evdo.. Pressed home then switched airplane mode on then off. Now it works.. But it switched back to lte/cdma/evdo/gsm/wcdma after reboot. Repeated the process multiple times .. somehow i got the network to stay where it should be but now upon every reboot i have to switch on airplane then switch off again.. Not a big deal for me but during my research i found a lot of others with the same problem or close to it.. Maybe these steps will help someone else.. My question is has anyone found a solution without reformatting and staying the root process all over.. Thanks
I posted this in the A500 forum as well, but it's probable that this is not a problem limited to my device, and it's also possible that there is a rom that might help me out.
I purchased my tablet on the day it came out, so it's long out of warranty. Everything has been fine with it until three nights ago.
I woke up in the morning to a crashed app alert. I don't get crashed apps often, but it does happen, so I hit ok. A few seconds later I was inundated with crashed app alerts. At that point, any app I opened would also crash immediately. Figuring a good reset would fix it, I turned it off...and it wouldn't turn back on.
I did finally get it to start by holding the volume up and power button.
But that didn't fix the problem. I've discovered that it is somewhat stable if I keep wifi off, but if wifi is on, within minutes everything starts to crash again.
I tried uninstalling some of the apps that crash, but when I restart, the apps are back. It doesn't matter what I uninstall, when I restart, it's back. Installed apps also disappear, the wallpaper resets...basically nothing I do sticks once I restart. I tried to factory reset using the button combination required for my device, and the screen gives the "erasing user data" message, but when it loads up, everything is just as I left it. I tried using the android os option to factory reset, but when I hit "erase everything", the button depresses, but nothing happens.
So obviously, I'm a bit perplexed.
I've never rooted it, and I ran an anti-virus scan a few hours before this all happened and it came up clean.
Anyone ever experienced this? Any advice? If no one has any ideas one how to fix it, is there a way to bypass the main os completely with a rom? I have absolutely no idea how those work, so it may be obvious that it won't, but I figured I'd check.
Thanks in advance! And thanks for reading this far, even if you have no advice!
