Issues on CM7 1.0-RC1.5-jordan-signed

First of all, I would like to thank everyone involved in making our Defy's so awesome.
Thanks to you all, as after getting all the info and help, I was successfully able to
upgraded to CM7 1.0-RC1.5-jordan-signed, and after few initial hiccups everything is working fine. Except the battery drainage issue. And I have been loving the new look and feel of my Defy ever since.
Today Morning. I've started getting a new problem. Whenever I want to call someone and I go to contacts, it force closes itself with following error:-
"The Process android.process.acore has stopped unexpectedly. Please try again."
I have restarted the phone and no respite from the problem.
Help please....

Did you change something or install a new app immediately before this started to happen ? Did you restart your phone while it was still connected to the PC or so? Some other people solved this problem by doing a factory reset. But you need to find the specific reason or cause in your case and correct that.

Well, the last thing I did last night was that I installed two ADW themes. and also downloaded few wallpapers.
Do you think, the themes could have created this problem?

As there is, according to my information, no standard cause for this problem, everything could be the reason. Other people reported this error on different devices too and the reasons were diverse.
Some have had the problem after installing a new app, others due to rebooting the phone while it was still connected to the pc. Others made a factory reset and then it worked again and the true reason was never found.
It won't kill you to try and disable/uninstall the new themes or wallpapers (if they are live wallpapers).
Maybe there is another specific well known reason for that out there. In this case I simply don't know one.
If you're lucky, others had the same problem and have identified a more precise cause. Then they will answer hopefully.
I would try to undo the last things you changed before and find out the true cause.

Thanks for the suggestions.
Will uninstall the new themes.
And as you said, Factory reset. If I do that, what exactly will happen.
Asking this because as mentioned before, I'm no longer on the version which came with phone and I am on CM7. so Factory reset will take me to which phase?

Have a look here: https://motorola-global-en-uk.custh...00/~/defy---master-reset-/-factory-data-reset
You may also try fixing permissions before with Rom manager.

well the link tells me what will happen on a stock rom. My question is. If I factory reset on CM7, will it take me to the original state or the default settings of CM7.

Flash cm7 again! maybe it helps.

guys,do i need cyanogen 7.1 installed on my device to install cyanogen 7.5?

Make a backup and try wiping via CWM. Both data and cache partition.

Recenty started getting few more issues.
1.> Phonebook crashing because of FC's. I'm hardly able to use my phonebook now
2.> Last night, messages stopped working. Again FC's.
3.> Today morning the native camera application stopped working.
And I have done following to overcome all the issues with no luck:-
wipes all cache including devik.
Did factory reset
reflashed with CM7 jordon 1.5
All failed to give me any respite from the errors.
Now I have downloaded cm7-110923-0710-Nightly.
Do let me know if this is an OK one. I've faced way too many errors and afraid of showing it off to anyone now as It might crash anytime.

Much to my disappointment, even flashing to newer nightly, I'm still getting the same errors.
Can someone provide me the 3.4.3-36-1.7 SBF? the one in the link provided earlier is not working.
Or any other solution.
The errors are way too much to ignore, and if this continues then I have to go back to Froyo. But I seriously love the new feel of the phone. All thanks to CM7.

[maguro] [paranoidandroid] I can´t wipe my phone

Hi,
Since this moring my phone is constantly rebooting. It first started when I tried to update 6 apps via the market. I´m on Paranoid Android 1.9.9.1. it worked smooth without any problems until today. I´ve alredy tried to reflash erverything but everytime i get the same result: the phone working for a minute and then suddenly out of the nowhere rebooting even if i don´t use it. Then i tried to wipe my phone which didn´t work either. Neither via cwm nor through the settings. Of course i have already searched the forum for possible solutions but it seems like i´m the only one who has ever experienced it. Could someone please led me to a thread wher my problem is discussed or provide me a solution i don´t what to do . Thanks in advance for everyone who is trying to help me.
P.S. I found out that i doesn´t reboot if i do not unlock it. If i unlock it either with sim inserted or not it reboots. WTF???

Flash your phone back to stock first to see if that resolves the issue.

You don't need to copy anything to your sdcard. Flash back to stock using this.

If you have any CPU apps that apply settings at boot maybe that's causing the reboots

Constant Reboots!! PLEASE HELP!!!!

Hi guys,
I am using a Sony Ericsson Xperia Arc and am having a lot of trouble with the device constantly crashing and rebooting.
when this first happened these are the steps i took.
i completely wiped the device (factory reset, wipe dalvik cache, wipe cache partition, format system)
i then flashed Baseband 77 using flashtool
i then flashed fxp149 using flashtool
i then flashed Baseband 77 libs using CWM
i then flashed AOKP JB M1-R1 ROM using CWM
i then flashed gapps using CWM
i the reloaded all apps from the market and not applied any backups and yet it still rebooted all the time.
Since then i have tried using
Fusion 3.8
Fusion 3.9
Fusion 4.0
FXP 148
FXP 150
Stock Kernel inside ROM .zip file.
I have also tried putting it back to Baseband 72 but it made no difference.
None of these make any difference to my issue and yet before i had the issue, I had used all of these kernels except FXP 150 and they all worked fine with no issues at all.
I then decided to go all the way back to stock firmware as it is out of the box.
so I used flashtool and flashed LT18i_4.1.B.0.587_(1254-2716).ftf
I reloaded my applications and monitored the device only to see that by the next day, the problem had returned.
I am now at the end of my tether and do not know what else i can possibly do to figure out the issue.
the device has not been dropped or damaged in any way so there is no reason for a hardware fault.
i desperately NEED this device to be working as i use it on a daily basis for my business and cannot live with out it.
IF THERE IS ANYONE OUT THERE THAT COULD PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE HELP I WOULD BE FOREVER IN YOUR DEBT!!!!!!!

i also have a logcat that i was running in the background when one of the reboots happened
not sure if that can tell anyone anything but i have it if it does

First flash stock kernel (587), after flash the rom compatible with kernel. Remember full wipe before

have you tried not to restore your apps? Maybe one of them causes the problem. I'd try to stick with the clean (stock) rom an check if it still reboots. If it does I guess your device is ready for ebay

Could be a loose battery, try a bit of paper between the battery and the cover and see if that helps.

yes i am starting to think that may be my next move
will i have an issue with getting it repaired since i have unlocked my bootloader, flashed different kernels and roms and rooted the device?
if so, is there any way i can get it back to official "out of the box" state?

Flash a stock ftf and get the bootloader relocked. Having it rooted is fine

i have come across something quite interesting.
i had someone look at the logcat i had running live when i had a reboot and it showed that the last thing to function before the reboot was wifi scanning. they suggested i try turning off wifi and running the live logcat again to see if any reboots occured.
it has now been just over 48 hours and i have not had a reboot at all. i know is because my terminal session is still running the live logcat.
is there anyone that could suggest why this may be happening?
i mean, i know its wifi that is causing the problem, but would that be a hardware issue that could be fixed under warranty? or something else?
any suggestions are appreciated as always

i don't think i can help, i just wanna say that i had (have) the same problem. I said had/have because probably I still have the issue, but i don't notice it that often. Before, I had my phone set to ask for pin code, but now I have removed it to avoid being unreachable if a restart occurs. I have raised the issue long time ago, but really didn't find any answer. Other ppl had same problem with their phone (look at the thread i started about this issue http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1765537)
I also have HTC desire in daily use with CM7.2, that also reboots quite often. So I don't think the phones are broken. More likely it's kenel or rom or app issue, or some combination of those.
If you can tell me how to monitor things, I can do it on both phones, maybe we will figure out what's going on.

if you open a terminal session and type:
su
cd sdcard
logcat >> logcat.txt
it will create a .txt file and put the live logcat info into it.
you need to leave the terminal running in the background to make sure it continues to update
then when you see a reboot just get the logcat.txt file from the sd card and open it in wordpad or something. (notepad doesnt display properly)
have a look at the last thing that happened before the reboot and see what it tells you
mine had info about wifi scanning and showed that it had seen ssids
next step was to turn wifi off to see if the problem stayed or resolved.
good luck!! id love to hear how it goes

my att s3 lags a LOT

hi, i have a samsung galaxy s3 (ATT).
its rooted, ive been on a few roms this last month, and they all lag at times. sometimes it works flawlessly like it should, but there are many times when my phone just lags. its so bad that i literally have to pull out the battery and put it back in to reboot since rebooting the regular way lags and takes forever as well. ive wiped the system and installed new roms, cleared cache, messed with performace settings (i have them set to 1500 mhz or lower). i have no idea whats causing the lag. must i wipe the entire internal sd first and then install another rom? i need an opinion, any help? thanks

Have you made sure that none of your apps are slowing the device down....I would install something like trepn profiler and see what your soc is doing

Flash stock, factory reset and test clean. If you are keeping or restoring old apps and data, im willing to bet
thats causing your issues.

Ok, when flashing stock, u mean thru Odin? Or just use the root injected stock ROM?? I guess my question is, will I have to use the method to get rid of root and then re root? Just wanna make sure I'm doing this correctly. Thanks for replying btw

[Q] Video recording not working in 5.0.1 - force reboots phone

I installed the official T-Mobile 5.0.1 update N900TUVUFOB6 via Samsung Kies and rooted via Chainfire. I can take pictures okay but when I try to record videos through the stock Camera app, it freezes then reboots the phone, which happens every time! I've tried to install other camera apps from the Play Store but none of them work for video recording. I suspect it's an api issue. Has anyone run into this or know what the problem is? I've even wiped cache and did a factory reset through Recovery but still the same problem. I really need to be able to record videos on my phone, so if anyone has a solution I would be so grateful!

I have the same issue. Wiped the entire phone including internal sdcard, went back to stock firmware but nothing worked. Taking pictures works but as soon as press the record button it freezes and a few seconds later the phone will reboot.

Just to let you guy know what I am sure is going on, this video recording damage has been caused by none other than aosp! if you all have previously installed liquid smooth like I did in 3 separate devices
1.tmo s4
And 2 note 3's (one is tmo and one is sprint) I think it is any asop although each person having this damage to their device should answer if they previously installed aosp and specifically liquid smooth.
I was going to assume this damage was only going to happen on tmo note 3, so I tested it on 2 other phones and sure enough they must be forced to remain running asop (the s4 has candy 5) the sprint note 3 currently has the ever so bugging liquid smooth. I also have tried every clean Odin delete everything known to us layman's on the planet and now I am looking for a NV restore. I already tried so sort of a NV item restore Using the dialer *#9090# then pressing Q and then pressing 0000 then option 2,1,2,3 then all with no change. I read somewhere in the xda's grapevine lol about a flash able zip called "Brick_Loop_FIX_afterRestoringBackup" that starts an built in feature that restores or rebuilds the modem then upon boot restores the NV items. I am assuming they are the same thing. Although, with no thought it will fix anything I will flash the zip tomorrow and let you know. I got a couple things to back up incase whatever may happen capin, unless one of you guys try it first, let me know

Haven't heard from the grapevine what protocol, ims or a static rebuild even does except if your imei is all zeros and your don't have any network or stuck in a boot loop after a nandroiid restore I erpose this will fix those couple thing I have read. Although I assume the dialer hidden menu NV rebuild does not really NV rebuild all like it says it does or the all its referring to is really just the first 2 options that are just a couple basic stuffs or it would have fixed my aosp camera damage. Well never listen to anyone who says aosp is all the rave and how you should try it out lol its blackmail to get you to stay on a bugged out ROM forever! LOL

I had this same exact problem and i fixed it finally after hours of research and trial and error. I noticed that my baseband and bootloader was Nb4 even tho i had flashed lollipop, so i ended up flashing stock lollipop using odin from http://forum.xda-developers.com/note-3-tmobile/general/5-0-n900tuvufob6-extracted-stock-t3047672 then after flashing i downloaded the lollipop bootloader and used odin 3.09 to flash that bootloader in BL, and the modem in ap, video camera works now and youtube has been fixed also.

How does one find the bootloader version? I checked and noticed the baseband is in fact Nb4, although looking for the bootloader version I just seen the build is Ob6.

Try https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=org.vndnguyen.phoneinfo&hl=en
it tells everything including bootloader version

OK thank you, I will check it out. what does the baseband and bootloader need to be? I mean what does yours read so I know what files to search for and load using version 3.09?
BL and AP, what do they need to show exactly?
Thanks a lot for the help, if this fixes the video recorder I will post many places that you fixed the problem and link back to this thread. =)
After looking at my current setup it does make sense according to what you are saying if the current firmware is 0b4
And both the baseband and bootloader are Nb4.
Should they all 3 be ob4?
- never mind my son said I am sweating over nothing, just to make sure they are all ob4. If this works I am going to be able to use my camera again! Thanks again!
