Hello everyone.
Last week, I installed a call blocker program called root call blocker pro. Afterwards, I realized that the phone doesn't come out of airplane mode properly. I rebooted the phone many times and nothing was changed. I', getting a force close for the com.android.phone app. I finally uninstalled the call blocker app and rebooted and this time everything came back to normal.
The night before I turned the phone off, and now the phone has the same problem again. The airplane toggle doesn't work properly and no matter how hard I try, I can't get any antenna signal. I've removed the simcart for now, and when I go to settings, about the phone, I get the same force close message again.
Now I'm not sure if the problem was for the call blocker program.
I wanted to make a factory reset, but I suppose there should be an alternative for that.
Any suggestions?

Nope, didn't work. Thanks for sharing.
Looks like the problem was because of freezing Go launcher. I tried to get back to the stock launcher, but quitting Go launcher didn't take me back to the stock one. So I had to install "Home Switcher" and set my stock launcher as the default one. Since the choice was not permanent, I froze Go Launcher. It was working at the moment, but the reboot revealed the problem with turning the radio on.
Now I defrosted Go launcher, switched back to it and everything seems normal. But the problem is, I may not be able to go back to the stock launcher.

the process android.process.acore has stopped unexpectedly
it keeps FCing and restarting on its own, make the phone un-usable because everytime i try to press a button, it will freeze, put up this FC, and when i click "force close" it will close what i was trying to open, and the cycle starts over again
i'm stock with the new JI6 update via KIES mini, had no problems for 3 days, and last night the phone ran out of batteries while i was out of the house and when i got back, i plugged it in, turned it on and i got this FC as the phone was doing the start-up media scan thing.
it will show this FC everytime i reboot as well
under settings -> manage applications -> running services there is a service called 'contacts storage' which is governed by android.process.acore
that's the only other clue i could dig out
*edit* mine doesn't seem to have anything to do with facebook, however, i can't access my contacts as everytime i try, this FC will force me out of the contacts screen
I've seen them a lot of times. When I get them, I just re-flash a new ROM onto my phone. It usually happens when I do something stupid to my phone.
i didnt do anything to it! everything was working, even after i updated to JI6 ... nothing was broken till it ran out juice yesturday.
I'll get this when I do a Titanium restore and restore the system data by mistake.
This should be in Q&A not development.
Also, try clearing your caches in Clockwork Recovery

Since I unlocked the bootloader, and re-loaded my apps and system data, the stupid sync / arrow icon in the status bar will not go away... any idea on what process my be causing this, so I can freeze it's ass! Thanks for your help.
Mine has been doing that for over a month. Never could figure out how to fix it. I just froze Contacts Sync 2.2.2 and it seems to do the trick.
I have also noticed TIB automatically freezes ContactsUnconnected 2.2.2 everytime I reboot. Don't know if this is related or not.
No-risk attempt: did you try (in the gmail app) to clear cache / clear data / force stop and then restart gmail?
Edit: Or maybe go to settings->accounts->google and un-tick everything, reboot and then try enabling the syncs again? I'm just throwing ideas..
Yeah I think I tried everything. Even had some motor experts on the motor support forums trying to help. Never could figure it out. I think I left it up for like 4 days and it never shut off. So I just froze it.

I am using CM7 latest weekely every thing is perfect but now suddenly my phones screen turns on like call is coming and turns back off after 2 sec and this happens randomly.
is this expected behavior?
is there any work around?
My fiancee has an atrix that is totally stock and hers just started doing this yesterday. I would also like to know the answer to this. I was thinking it was a hardware issue with the power button but hopefully i am wrong, that way I dont have to mess with a warranty exchange. Any help would be appreciated.
by any chance have u just start using this app "Memory Booster - RAM Optimizer" if yes then this might be the one, i have just messed around in its settingsd and no screen wakup problems so far

No. The only apps that I think might cause this that I have on her phone is beautiful widgets and a data toggle. She has had these apps on there for awhile and the phone just started to act up.

Both me and my brother own atrix and it happens on both.It was happening on stock 2.3.4 and now on cm7 as well it must be something with the phone not a rom related issue
i also have beautiful widgets, can sk8trix conform that his and his brother phone have this app too. if yes then this might be the cause. or we have to tell each other whole list of apps that we have installed to narrow down the culprit.
On her phone I have all of her apps that are supposed to sync turned off. I recently installed data enabler for her so she would have a data toggle on her home screen. I use advanced task manager to kill her apps by force stopping them. Last night I used it and closed everything and turned her screen off. 5 minutes later it come on for about two seconds and shut off. I have been looking at what apps might be causing this and really dont see anything unusual except for the data enabler and beautiful widgets. I will uninstall both of those and report back later on to let you know the result. Hopefully someone else will come along with a better solution.

I don't use beautiful widgets ever.....I even tried with a clean install no apps installed except stock cm7 apps and google apps and it still happened so I gave up trying to figure it out.
it doesn't shorten my battery life at all so I don't worry however if there is a fix I will use it because it is annoying.
Edit the only time the phones wake up by themselves is right after we hit the power button to turn the screen off or when the phone firat boots and is still locked it will turn the screen off and turn it back on the dim again.
I dont think its cm7 issue cos i was at weekly # 4 and there was no issue then i flashed tuch recovery and after that boot it started happening. Then i flashed latest weekely and reverted back to old recovery. And i agree this only happen when i turn screen off (randomly)
OK here is where I am at now with this problem. I uninstalled both apps and it seems to be ok for the time being, but my fiancee told me she had been receiving weird messages in her notification bar. I looked into it and she was getting ads in her notification bar. So I downloaded AirPush Detector from the market and ran a scan on her phone and it detected a couple of apps pushing notifications. I got rid of the apps and now im back to checking the phone again. I dont know if that AirPush app would help you guys out or not but it would hurt to try.
since i have started this thread my problems have gone away like a little *****, and i dont know how to recreate this problem any more so i am stuck with no problem no solution thing.
12 hrs passed no problem so far.
It was apps in the background running. Airpush helped. I told her from now on no more free apps, i would rather buy them then fight this **** again. I put the data toggle and beautiful widgets back on her phone and it's ok. Thanks for your guys input.

I am having The same problem with my Samsung Galaxy ace Gt-5830i.
Earlier it had problems with charging and SD card. So we took it to authorized service center. And they said they had formatted the phone and installed stock ROM on it. They also replaced the charger port. But now after two days the phone screen is turning on and off at repeated intervals (for about 2 Seconds). So what might be the problem.
So I got bootlooped yesterday, my phone started up, I saw my home screen, then it shut itself off again and restarted. This is weird because I am not messing with any Custom ROMS. I am rooted, unlocked and am using the Stock ROM which I debloated.
Because of this, I deleted cache and Dalvik cache and did a Factory Reset through Amon Ra. Google Locations and the GPS weren't working, and although it had zero VZ bloat, I decided to just restore my Nandroid backup from a week or so ago since the interface seemed a little more familiar.
Once restored, I debloated a little again and restarted the phone multiple times (to make sure I wasn't messing about with any important apps that could be causing the original issue). The phone ended up restarting fine so I thought I was good to go. Then, today, after installing all my apps, and uninstalling the the Watch widget, I came to the HTC bootscreen. However, the phone wasn't really rebooting, the bootscreen just came on and then immediately went to my homescreen. Regardless, I thought I may restart just to check it out. The first time I restarted, I cycled through the homescreens immediately after boot and the phone turned off. Then I booted it up again and although it's running, I am getting no data. The Mobile Network tab is grayed out. I don't know what to do. I really don't want to factory reset again/restore my original nandroid backup.
I tried *228 but it just says that "A Verizon Wireless Sim card has activated your service and updated your phone's roaming capabilities.
So I tried the Bootlooping and Network fix on the stickied thread (sorry just found it on the website, it wasn't on Google). Regardless, I still have a reservation. If I do indeed bootloop again, even without the battery cover on, would I need to do a factory reset? Because that's what happened last time and I really do not want to go through that experience again.
Does you phone stay booted with the battery cover off?

No, it wasn't. It froze and then restarted seemingly 5-8 seconds after arrival on the lock screen and unlocking.
Also, after restoring, the Voice Mail app icon cannot be deleted. I have tried Titanium Back up, and now even though its deleted there, the icon is still visible.
I guess I had a different issue when my phone was bootlooping I was able get it to boot with the covers off then do the network fix (it was on wcdma)

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.
