[Q] FC when copying - AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III

Regardless of the application I'm using, when I click and hold on text and click copy. The phone freezes for several moments, Apex restarts, then I get a fc/stopped working message pops up for the app I was using. I tried using different keyboards, cleared google framework, neither made a difference.
Phone is rooted, stock Rom. I have no idea what went wrong, can't exactly say what I changed to make this problem start happening. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you

Bump.. nobody has any idea?

Read this thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1706921

Thank you so much! I can't believe i didn't find that thread myself, I was searching for days for a solution. Clear data/clipboard, force stop TestService! Worked like a charm, any idea what causes this bug?

Not a clue but it happens once every other week or so. So annoying.

[Q] Ventriloid/Mangler issues

So I REALLY want to get Ventriloid/Mangler working. It keeps force closing on me. Both apps do the same thing. Before I would connect and be able to talk 1-3 times then the push to talk button would stop functioning and I would have to abandon it and try again later where it would do the same thing. I changed the push to talk button from hold to a toggle and it worked a lot better. However it still force closes ALL the time. If it worked for a little but and then force closed I wouldn't matter as I was gonna use it for short conversations where I need to tell someone something, I really want this app to work. Has anyone been having the same issues?/Found a solution? I'm using stock rom and I rooted it and it still FC's. Halp please.
Sorry for posting again since I haven't received a reply. Am I the only one experiencing these issues?

It is sort of a PTT program but it isn't like tikl. I have downloaded the app and will try it later tonight once I get home to get my vent info and then I will post my results for the OP

I had similar issues when I used them before. I know the big issue is you want to "Force 8kHz Transmit" in the settings. I can't recall if that is enough to solve all the problems, but I know that got me working.
Wanted to give this a little bump.
I can connect to Vent, I can hear everyone and do everything the app is supposed to do, except the push to talk feature will not work. I have even tried to put it on auto but the mic never activated. I tried switching hotkey to a keyboard key and that did not work either, it just will not work
Sorry I Haven't posted that update yet but everythin works fine for me. I didn't mess around with any settings, just put in my vent info and it worked(though there were complaints of me being really loud and a tn of backround noise while I was talking mid raid)

[Q] Market issue, intermittent

Hey folks, having an odd issue with my market. Has been happening on and off since the last market update (3.1.5). I searched around and couldnt find anything about it. Sometimes when I go to install or update an app, I click on the install (or update) button and instead of going to the "Agree and Download" screen, it goes to a pure white screen with loading in the middle and sits there. I have tried clearing market data, force closing the market and starting it up again, etc, with no avail. It seems to be pretty random, sometimes it goes right to agree and download, sometimes it doesn't, and it doesnt seem to be app specific. It also doesnt seem to be rom specific. I have left it on that page for a pretty long time (>10 mins) with no change. It did it on an the ERA EC05 rom I was running, and is doing it on the GB EH17 rom I am currently using.
Anyone else having this issue? Has it been documented before? If so, I'd appreciate a link so I can check it out. As always, I am very grateful for any and all help. Thanks!

Bugs and Annoyances on Black Ice

Hello, I'm currently running the latest Black Ice nightly (from 7/16) on my Inspire 4G. I love this ROM but there are a few bugs and annoyances I have. I have searched the forums with no luck, and hope somebody who has had similar problems could help me solve these.
- When I select text (for example, half a sentence) and hit delete, occasionally it will start deleting the letters in front of my selection, but will keep the selection intact (as in, it stays shown as selected but acts as if its not). This is seemingly random and happens maybe once every ten times I make a selection. I can fix this by unselecting then reselecting.
- Sometimes when I plug in my headset to talk to someone, I can hear them through the headset but they cannot hear me through it. I can fix this by unplugging it and plugging it back in.
- GPS takes forever to find location. I have tried a few different GPS settings from within IceTool with no luck. Using GPS Status I can get 7-14 locks, but Google Maps still won't find my location.
- Apps also seem to force close occasionally. I don't know how to use all of the features in IceTool or the other tools that come with the phone, so I don't use them. Perhaps there are settings or tweaks that would make my phone more stable? Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
Again, great rom! Thanks!
Reboot into recovery, fix permissions.
Nightly releases are experimental.
If you want a stable release you can flash either v1.50 or v1.60
I've never flashed a nightly so I can't help you much with that part.

Fixed permissions, and flashed stable 1.60. I'm still having the same problems. And now sometimes people can't hear me when I talk. I will call someone (or they will call me), I can hear them fine but they cannot hear me. I've tried reflashing a few times. Can anybody help?

I would say flash a stock rooted sense rom to find out if the issue persists. If it doesn't, report back after a full wipe: Format data/Factory reset, wipe dalvik, Format all partitions (except sd card). Download the rom again, flash it after the wipe obviously :silly:, check to see what problems you are having if any. After that we will work something out. I have a few ideas but I would like to find out first if it happens in the stock rom.
Logcat would be good too

Thanks for the help, I really appreciate it. I won't be able to reflash until Monday, so I will post the results then. What is logcat and how could it help me?

The logcat helps identify a problem. I know Guy doesn't know how to read one, nor do I, however, a dev or someone familiar with logcats would be able to see, if anything shows, where the problem could be.

[Q] Jelly Bean and the gallery

I upgraded via kies yesterday and have been exploring since. Only big thing I have noticed is that that photo gallery is almost unusable for me. Major hang ups. Do you think I just need to wipe it and start over again or are others experiencing this gallery slow down?
Any feedback is greatly appreciated!

Some gallery apk on certain jb roms have known issues. So it is not your phone
i would try to delete the android/data folder on your internal usb storage. There's some files for your pics/images thumbnails and sometimes gives problem when updating rom... Just delete those and restart... android will recreate them!
Don't do anything. It will fix itself.The caching of the thumbnails takes forever for whatever reason but after a day or two, it finishes and starts working properly.
I had the same exact problem. Someone else suggested the same thing and after a day or two its worked without an issue.

I can't believe not doing anything actually worked! Who said laziness doesn't pay off....
Thanks for the replies everyone.

I still think the 4.1.2 TW gallery is pretty awful in comparison to the AOSP/AOKP gallery, or even apps like Quickpic....Even after letting it cache, it's clunky at best...

Can't press 'Install' when installing an APK

Good evening, just lately I have encountered a bug when trying to install APK's. When I go to install via Package Installer it will open up the screen and when I go to press next it doesn't do anything, I have tried rotating the screen and pressing Next and it just doesn't work whatsoever...
I powered off my device and powered back on and this seemed like it fixed the problem.
Is/has anyone else encountered this? I've also noticed ometimes when typing on the keyboard the sound goes tinny for 5 seconds or so and go back to normal, it's been like this since unboxing too.
I haven't had this issue exactly, but when I install a new app and it asks for permission to access my location/storage/etc.. I can't press Allow.. I can press Deny though no problem at all. Right now I'm manually going into apps/permissions and granting all my apps whatever I think it needs.. Just a pain to do it that way though!
I had this issue the other night. It seems an invisible overlay gets stuck sometimes. Not sure what app or why, but clearing all the recent apps fixed it for me. Try that if it happens again instead of waiting for the phone to restart.
Sent from my G3223
Also had this problem two days ago and restarting seemed to fix it. I was disabling some of the stock apps at the time so I wondered if that had something to do with it but I don't know, don't think I re-enabled any of the apps or anything before or after the reboot and so far it's been working since.

Thanks for your feedback and I have also had that problem too. Of course yes we can go into app settings and enable and like you stated it's a pain haha. I know this isn't the place to point these problems out and get them fixed but it's nice to know I'm not the only one ??

Yes dude, that's correct and thanks for that valuable information I do clean my cache regularly and can't say I've come across the problem for a while, so thanks again.

I'd like to mention I have disabled and uninstalled quite a lot too, but I can't say if this adds to the problem. It'd just be really nice to hopefully get the new build of software that was recently announced on Xperia Blog but I can't say if this will fix the problems etc. I don't know? ??

I've experienced this issue as well and the culprit seemed to be an overlay permission from another app. As I'm sure everyone knows, this phone's screen is very bright even at it's lowest setting. I like to read at night and the light bothers my wife so I started using an app called Nightowl that further dims the screen. Nightowl produces a overlay that dims the entire screen. If i happen to be running nightowl and try to install the app, I can't tap install. Once I turn off the app I'm able to install like normal. Hope that helps lead you in the right direction as restarting the phone every time a problem presents itself is kind of a bummer.
