Help. Phone acting weird. - Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I currently have cm 9 installed and my phone cannot answer calls unless I am in landscape mode. I can make calls however the screen stays frozen. Screen rotation only works in apps and not on nova launcher. I did a fresh install of cm 9 rc 1 and akop and odin back to stock and still had the same issues. Any help would be appreciated.

I would backup my apps either using titanium or rom toolbox, then go to recovery and wipe data and cache re flash the rom or try a different build. Download titanium or rom toolbox and restore. If you don't want to purchase those just wipe the data and download all your apps again. But if your like me and play a lot of games the way I said about backing up your apps will allow you to keep your app data. Hope this helps good luck.

Get it to stock and take it into the store if your still having that issue on stock they should give you a new phone.

Simply don't use titanium backup to restore your apps. Dl from market then use a file manager to back them up.
Note cyn will back up all apps on Google server so the next time the market will restore them all

[Q] built in buttons not working right

ok...so heres what happened. I recently updated my rom to thunderhawk III EI22 and dont get me wrong its a nice rom and very clean and snappy. but when i installed titanium backup pro and it said reboot required. when i rebooted and everything came back up and running again my home button and my search button (the ones built into the phone) just those wernt working. and ive tried to reboot again and they still didnt work, i tried removing the battery and that did nothing either, and i even tried to reinstall the rom and that did nothing as well. im kind of at a loss...any thoughts?
What did you restore with titanium? What rom were you previously on? It is best to restore apps individually, and only restore data on apps that you really need to.
Edit: did you wipe data before reinstalling? The rom will backup data before wiping itself and restore on install.

i was going to restore the app data but when i installed the program to do that it wanted me to restart my phone so i did and thats when things stopped working
Hmm, I think that happened to me (asking to reboot) once when I clicked too fast and didn't allow titanium root access. Usually it never asks me to reboot. I have never seen the keys stop working, and have flashed countless versions of random rom, and use titanium pro all the time. Have you tried clearing data in titanium? If all else fails, wipe everything and start clean again.

Go to the market and download titanium.. the go to ur apps one by one, and reinstall. When u flash the roms, u have to make sure that u do a clean wipe 3x

Don't update titanium untill after u have installed ur apps.

[Q] epic 4g with cm7 2.3.7 cannot access gmail!

I have just installed cm7 onto my epic 4g. I have been trying to get the stock apps, ie gmail, market, etc.. I love the rom but I guess it didn't come with the bloat ware.. is there anyway to get them? I cannot add a gmail account either, server won't respond.

Don't the instructions mention to flash the gapps? I remember reading that when I installed it. I know there is only a google search link for gapps now. Gapps as in Google Apps.

So I'm using ROM manager and it has the gapps listed however after it finishes I get the options to "Back Up ROM, Wipe Data and Cache and Wipe Dalvik Cache". Is this the proper way to get these apps to work? If so, which option would I choose? I am kinda a noob to roms so this is a little confusing for me.

If you want to backup the ROM then fine, otherwise wipes are not even required. I don't wipe at each upgrade at all. It never hurts anything to wipe Dalvik and cache and can only help.

Ok so I had attempted to back up my ROM however it froze so I had taken the batterie out and now I cannt get into recovery mode at all, it just goes back to that frozen screen where it was attempting to back up the ROM. Any ideas how I can fix that?
Sent from my SPH-D700 using xda premium
So I fixed that but now when I use the market, no app will download due to an unknown error.. any ideas?

Try clearing data in the market app. Use Titanium.

[Q] Using Ti Backup from GB to ICS?

Sorry noob here but it's my understanding that I can't back up my App data and upgrade to ICS from GB, Is that correct? Is their anyway of updating to ICS and keep app data? I'm rooted and running Juggernaut ROM.
I believe most user apps and data can be restored from GB to ICS, just don't restore any system app, and keep in mind that some apps and games may not be compatible with ics and that's going to make the restoring batch get stuck, just keep that on mind

Will it Brick or Soft brick my phone if i redo a batch and it's not compatible do you know?
If you restore system apps or their app data, then it is likely, but if restored user apps have compatibility issues then you'll mostly get force closes.

quick reference
I do suggest referencing this post which has so far the best route if you're going your route. I have been able to upgrade and keep all the data using the stock upgrade in Kies for two other phones (not mine) and they have not had any issues.
I went the odin flash route and just want to remind you to wipe all the system partitions (I used Darkside SuperWipe) then flash Radio then flash ROM
hope that saves you some time.
Thanks Guys!!
Yeah, just hit batch and restore missing apps w/data. You'll be fine.

[Q] Issues with rooted T989

My wife has a rooted SSGSII with the stock rom. I have the same phone but have a custom rom. She has alot of weird issues like sometimes freezes when a call comes in, her time in the system bar is often incorrect. She uses Magic Locker and sometimes her time in Magic Locker doesn't match the system time or they may both be off. I wonder if anyone has had this kind of issue. We have replaced the SIM card already. She used Titanium Backup to bring back her apps from her old Droid after rooting. I don't have any of these problems at all but she has crazy issues like this. Any thought about what might be contributing to these issues?
I've never experienced this before, but I have had major issues with titanium backup to the point that I no longer use it. Have you tried reflashing without using titanium?

No. We didn't flash her device. We just used TB to restore some of her apps after she rooted it. TB website said it would be OK to use it with a Stock Rom.

i would assume TB meant it would be okay if it was from the same device... its not best when you're restoring apps from a completely different phone. I you sure its completely stock? i would just go ahead and flash a custom rom.
Thanks for the help. Think I will flash a custom rom and see if that helps the issue.
Often times if you use TB to restore apps and previous app data, this will happen. Couple options. Try restoring just the app without the data, or use ODIN to flash a clean stock, then re-root and start over. A clean can resolve a lot of issues. I ODIN my phone at least once a month regardless.
