Maybe it's my imagination, but Chrome to Phone seems to stop working if I don't unlink the account on my phone before flashing a new rom and re-enabling C2P. Has anybody else experienced this?
ive had it happen before
but it didnt get fixed until i flashed a new rom
i run mln rl3 and it works, but takes about 5min to get to phone
by the time it pops up i forget i had even used chrome to phone (and this is for firefox to phone too)
disconnect it and connect it again until it works. Does it for me.
I have never gotten Chrome2Phone to work at all.
every time i install a new rom or restore from nandroid or titanium, i have to clear data for chrome to phone using titanium backup. Then it works perfect.

Hi.
I have the latest leedroid rom with the latest radio.
I have an unlimited cellular internet that works great on the cell phone itself.
When I try to use it as a hotspot I can only connect to Gmail from my computer. All the other sites show me a http denial message.
I read somewhere else in the forums that someone had a similar problem so he flashed the rom again but without any of the apps. I did the same and it worked like a charm. He then reinstalled the apps and it kept on working. I tried it and it stopped.
Before I try the very annoying attempt of uninstalling app by app until it starts working, I'd like to ask if anyone knows of some apps that cause this problem.
I was thinking of things like the AVG or viber/whatsapp. Meaning apps that keep working all the time in the background and use the internet.
Any ideas?
Thanks
fixed!
as it seems, some of the user data files stored in the titanium backup was the cause of it. I can't tell which one but when I flashed the ROM again after a full wipe and factory reset it worked great. I then restored only the data files and the problem repeated so I reflashed it with the wipe and factory reset and restored all the apps but non of the data files and it is working great!
This is quite annoying
Every time I turn on my phone, all of the apps that start when my phone boots force close. I'm not able to send a text or even use the dialer. I'm able to browse my home screen, but when I try to run an app, either it will run for a bit and then force close, or it will close as soon as I open it. The battery I have is bad, which results in my phone turning off randomly, I know it's a bad battery because I've had this issue before and replacing the battery solved it.
Today I tried to use soundhound and while it was "listening" the phone decided to turn off. No surprise. However, when I rebooted it, none of my apps were able to run. I get the "Unfortunately, x has stopped working..." and am forced to close the app. I'm not able to do anything on my phone. I can still receive texts, I'm unable to respond to them. I should be getting a new battery in the mail any day now, and I'm hoping it will solve the issue.
I'm running cm9 beta 1. I've cleared the cache and the d-cache.
Could the battery be the cause of this? Any suggestions?
I'm gonna try to temp boot to EL29. Mobile ODIN doesn't work, am I able to use ODIN 1.85 on my computer instead? I would install the direct boot v3 file under the PDA option right?
EDIT: The apps seemed to have worked when under a temp boot of EL29. I'm gonna do a fresh install to see if that does the trick
I doubt its the battery. Maybe a corrupted install. Download files to pc if possible then xfer to phone. Verify md5 before flashing. You can get software from sourceforge if needed.
The fresh install did the trick. Still not sure how this happened, but whateva. I don't need a new phone
That's good sometimes you just get a bad flash or flash a mod that just messes things up. I have flashed things that worked perfectly for others and my phone got jacked. Its all part of the game. I keep a recent one click on my laptop just in case.
It sounds like when you installed your rom you forgot to wipe data/factory rest or when you restored app backups you installed data with system apps from a TWiz rom. When restoring backed up apps you can usually restore data for system apps from TWiz > TWiz or AOSP/CM > AOSP/CM as long as they are on the same build ie ICS > ICS or JB>JB etc. You can restore data for user apps safely regardless of rom they were backed up on. But the FC issue comes from incompatible system data it screws up the system process and causes apps to FC when it tries to load the data

I'll cut to the chase with my issues and explain where I am now. Then I'll go through some if the previous issues leading up to this...
I got tired of the problems and flashed back to stock FC09 with Odin.
Booted up and made sure it worked...
Flashed CWM 5.0.2.7 with Odin.
Rebooted
Flashed CWM 6.0.2.8 with CWM...
Booted up to make sure nothing broke.
Data, dalvik, and cache wipe
Flashed a CM 10.1 nightly from a couple weeks ago.
Flashed goo.im's latest jelly bean pack (2013-03-01 iirc)
Booted up and went through the normal setup.
Only google apps that showed up are search, play, talk, and voice search. No Gmail or Maps or others. Gallery I'd there but force closes right away. So it and the camera do not work.
I haven't tried recreating the rest of the problems yet since I ran into a problem there.
The rest of the problem started after finally deciding to try the nexus radio hack. I got it working then had a hell of a time getting it working again after flashing a newer nightly. What should have worked didn't. Got it working then decided to revert back to the factory modem and CM 10.1 kernel. Wasn't worth the hastle for me.
After all that I got it working again. Then after the next nightly I lost all my apps, Google apps, and contacts.
Since then I was able to manually flash the Google apps and get it working but even then, it would not sync automatically though I set it to do so. It would forget my contacts and would not sync with gmail unless I did so manually.
Looked at to goo.im zip... realized gmail and maps were not in there.
While I was confused... that does not change the fact the phone seems broken in bazaar ways.
Losing my contacts randomly, refusing to automatically sync to Google, losing my apps after flashing an updated rom (also changes my background to an old one) and other weirdness.
Restored my latest nandroid backup after realizing the camera was broken last night. Everything worked perfect before making that backup. Now the camera and gallery force close...

Go to Settings->Apps->All : Find and click on Gallery then hit the button that says "Clear Data". That should fix the force close problem.

Nope...
Tried that and also cleared the cache and dalvik in CWM.
Neither helped.
Thank you though...
Well, if anyone else runs into similar and finds this via a search here is where I ended up...
I re flashed to stock again with Odin. Only I set it to re partition this time. Then flashed can via Odin.
Finally, I flashed CM 10.1 and gapps.
Everything worked...
Restored the data out of my latest nandroid backup.
Everything was good.
Ran cyandelta to update to the latest nightly and all hell broke loose again.
Think it is because we are butting so close against a full system partition. I had less than 100k free.
I ran my "remove useless junk" script via a CWM flash. I now have almost 100mb free and everything is working as it should. I'm betting I won't have any more issues if I set cyandelta to flash it after updating from now on.
The flash removes a bunch of stuff from CM that I don't need and/or never use like wallpapers, sound files, videos, a few apps and other random things. Need to update it for 10.1 since I made it for 10.0 though...
And today it forgot my Google account...
Noticed my contacts were missing and then saw gmail wouldn't open.
Settings> accounts did not have Google listed.
+ Add account did not have Google listed to add it back.
Had to flash gapps again and set my account back up...
This is one of the original problems...
Yesterday my phone was acting weird - Poweramp was starting at boot, Poweramp told me it couldn't verify my license, I had no media volume (but system volume was ok), my lock screen was being bypassed on boot, S-voice was starting whenever I put headphones in, no sound from bluetooth, etc. Weird stuff.
After troubleshooting and coming up empty, I took a backup with Clockworkmod, then restored to a backup I took on the 4th. When I rebooted, apps started crashing non-stop. Not only gapps, but also twitter, dropbox, etc. Every 1-3 seconds I'd get a couple of crashes. I also get a lot of notifications (not in crash windows) that it "cannot open database". These appear across the bottom of the screen, like when I'm notified that an app has received superuser access. It happens so often I can't even shut the phone off - I have to pull the battery.
I restored to a backup I took on January 10th and got the same thing. I restored back to the backup I'd just taken, same thing. I wiped the cache and the dalvik cache, same thing. I reflashed my gapps, but that didn't fix anything. I tried to remove my google account, but I can't get into the menu because the phone's crashing too fast.
So far, the only way I can get a usable phone is by performing a factory reset and setting up my phone again.
Does anyone have any suggestions on how I can get my data back? I have an app backup from January some time using My Backup Pro, but I don't want to lose a month's worth of data if at all possible.
I'm running a rooted Galaxy S3 (AT&T) on Stock 4.3. I've been messing with Xposed for the past couple days, but disabled almost all of the modules while trying to troubleshoot the issue (and it seemed stable before it started acting weird while I was shoveling snow). Also, only the most recent backup has Xposed installed.
Thanks in advance.
UPDATE: I was able to remove my Google account and this initially stopped the Google apps from constantly crashing, but other apps continued to crash. After a minute or so, the Google apps started crashing again.
I was able to restore a much older backup (4.0) and this seemed to work ok for the few minutes I tested it.
I did a factory reset on 4.3, which seemed ok, but when I started restoring my apps through My Backup Pro, android.process.acore started crashing every second or so. I cleared the cache, but it didn't fix the problem (in fact, it started crashing on the lock screen, which hadn't happened before.)
I'm starting to wonder if I need to flash a new ROM because something not backed up by Clockworkmod is FUBAR.
As far as I can tell, the causes of my issues were:
I think my CWM was messed up. When I flashed CM11 to get a working ROM, I saw there was an update pending. I installed that and it seemed to fix the problem with making new backups. I don't think I'll be able to recover the backups from before, but at least I can make new backups now.
I think the android.process.acore issue was the result of the My Backup Pro backup being from CM10.1 when I was trying to restore to Stock 4.3. I think there was some system data in there that wasn't compatible with stock. Selecting only the 3rd party apps that I "needed" to install seemed to resolve this.
I don't know about the original sound issue. I got a ticket response from Poweramp saying it was a Google account mismatch issue. I hadn't made any changes, so my guess is that somehow the account was corrupted. I don't know if removing/adding the account would have made a difference, since the whole thing blew up before I could try. It's also possible that something else got corrupted that caused the volume issue. Volume works fine now that I have a new ROM, so it was definitely not a hardware issue with the headphone jack. I backup restore or factory reset might have fixed the problem, but I don't know for sure.
I posted something similar in the general questions subforum but of course there was no response.
I'm on stock rooted 4.3. If it matters, I ALWAYS get a message about gapps crashing.
Basically, I'm sick of ****Wiz and its continuous bulkiness and slowness. Tried a few ROMs, settled on PacMan. Trouble is there just seems to be NO way to restore my apps.
Titanium is no good because it breaks push notifications for any app that uses them - unacceptable.
The Play Store just refuses to act right. At first it wouldn't restore anything at all, then on one of my million flashes, I started restoring from Titanium one-by-one, then got even MORE frustrated and stopped. Now that list of about six apps is what the Play Store tries to "restore".
I've flashed and Nandroided back so many times because of this. And no matter HOW many times I manually sync, or how long I leave my phone on Wi-Fi to do it itself, when I flash it's those same six apps restoring.
Today I thought to make an update.zip in Titanium before flashing. Flashed the ROM, then Gapps. Tried the update.zip and it wouldn't work. Booted, then tried it. It worked, but didn't "reboot in 5 seconds"... had to battery pull after 10 minutes. Then the apps didn't have data. Titanium restored them and recommended a reboot. When I did that, the menu button no longer worked. At all.
I'm really ****ing sick of this. What am I supposed to do? If I have to stay on TouchWiz I'm getting rid of this phone. It's counterproductive at this point.
Are the custom ROMs based on the stock Samsung kernel? If not, that may be why your apps are crashing after being restored.

Well, they're not crashing. When I restore them with Titanium, everything works fine about them except push notifications and that just can't happen.
And the ROM I've chosen for now is PacMan. I don't think it is?
