Has anyone else noticed that a lot of OpenFeint games are acting weird? I noticed with Abduction! 2, if I go to Airplane mode, it will not force close. But, once I have internet access, it starts up and within a few seconds, it force closes. It's attempting to connect to OpenFeint but it won't.
On other games, such as Fruit Ninja, it will connect, but instead of my username, it gives me some weird number as my user ID. I have to open up OpenFeint, tell it to connect as a different user, and then log in under my actual handle. After that, the games will connect fine using my actual username, but Abduction! 2 still crashes unless I turn off internet access.
I'm running on a Droid X2. Yes, it is rooted and it's running CM7. However, I tested this under stock 2.3.4 and Eclipse 2.0.4 as well and the problem still persists.
I've gone and cleared all the data for the game, uninstalled it and then reinstalled it, and the problem still persists. I've even gone and deleted the openfeint directory on my SDcard.
Any ideas? Every time Abduction! 2 crashes, I tell it to send a report, so hopefully there is something there.
Thanks!

Thanks for describing the problem so thoroughly. I'm having the exact same problem on a Galaxy Nexus. The crash stack trace says that it's hitting a ServerException when connecting to openfeint. It skips that request when in airplane mode.

Hi guys, I just got myself a Galaxy Tab 10.1, but not without any issues.
I just finished downloading stuffs from the market and start trying things out.
I just found out that my Angry Birds games (Original, Rio, Seasons) are always FC (force close) itself all the time. It occurs almost everytime during first gameplay. The birds didn't even have the time to launch. It just kicks me out to the tab home screen, and that's it. No error message at all. All 3 Angry Birds games are the same.
After going thru some experiments and frustations, including factory reset, flashing custom rom, stock rom, etc... what I found is a bit strange.
If I disable the network connection (wifi/3G mobile data), the games work fine!
Yes, I tried it over and over again, and it works that way.
100% crash with connection on, all smooth with connection off.
I don't know what could be the cause. Do you guys have any idea?
Is this normal or known issue? Are there any settings I set wrong? Might it be related to the ads in-game? or maybe something else?
So far I only get this issue with Angry Birds games. Hope I don't have to get a replacement.
I replied to your thread on AF, no need to cross-post on multiple forums.
Thank you for reading. I feel really stuck and though I've tried cannot solve this on my own.
The Problem:
When my phone crashes, the logcat apps that are happily recording the events get force closed along with it, and the buffer is lost forever. I seemingly have no way of recording the actual crash event so that I can research the problem.
Possible Solutions, Unfounded:
So I guess what I need is a logcat app that writes the events to file as it's reading (none seem to offer this, only saves manually) or a way to read the internal log after the crash occurs.
Crash Description:
When it crashes, I get a few short successive vibrations, then a lot of lag between a few seconds to a minute, then (if I'm lucky) the screen goes black for a few seconds and then a sort of an instant reboot occurs where I am at the home screen and all the widgets/icons are loading again and all the programs running a moment ago are not open, and any programs normally loading on a startup will start. It always will say the Sim Card has been removed and I must reboot. I lose contacts but not network. Sometimes the phone just freezes without going black and the fast reboot occurs after some minutes or not at all.
Background on what causes the Crash:
As you know, the GPS on the Fascinate and other Galaxy S models have serious issues with accuracy. I have tweaked the internal settings (*#*#3214789650#*#*) myself, without modifying system files (I dont think I ended up going that far) in order to produce better results. I did this months ago and havent changed it since.
The tweaks did not perfect it, so for some apps where accuracy is crucial I temporarily use an app called FakeGPS, which allows me to manually set my location while the app is running. It worked fine. After I updated about 12 apps at once, FakeGPS included, now whenever I run that application the phone crashes as described above.
At first I thought it was just the new version of the App, so I tried a different one that did the same thing. But it also crashes in the same way. I reinstalled both, still crashes.
I am using firmware 2.2. My phone is rooted. I'd be happy to answer any questions.
Really appreciate even just a point in the right direction.. I wouldnt be afraid to poke around the filesystem if need be.
Thank you!

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)?

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.
Hey, people
Odds are good this has been treated before. If so please link me to the thread? Thanks.
I've been having issues updating apps on Google play. The portion if the app to he updated is downloaded and it just freezes there. It looks like there's a problem adding the increment to the original file. How to fix?
I thought it was a problem with my Moto G, but it continues with my OnePlus One and it's annoying. Sometimes it completes, somtimes it just stays there and prevents other updates. Sometimes I'm able to finish the update by stopping and restarting. Sometimes even that doesn't help. Sometimes quickly resetting the connection by toggling USB tethering or just connecting to a laptop triggers a completion. Sometimes nothing at all happens.
I've tried clearing data and cache for Google play and services, like was suggested in a thread I read somewhere. No dice. Even Google+ just froze.
Can anyone help me?
Anyone?
I seem to have an issue with specific access points when I connect to them. This issue existed with my Galaxy Nexus, now my LG G2 and G Pad are both experiencing it.
When I connect to the wifi at the hotel I am at all apps will randomly close and kick my back to the home screen. Facebook, Clash of Clans, Chrome, all of them. They will stay open for 30 seconds to 2 minutes and randomly close.
Without rebooting I connect to my work wifi, no issues. back to the hotel, same problem. Both are running Lollipop. The G2 is rooted.
The logcat shows nothing. When I open it after it happens the logcat shows ---- beginning of system. The only other message that appears out of the ordinary is Activity_idle id: [email protected] time: xxxxxx
Any ideas why certain AP's will cause random exits with no error or force close message?
