Help please phone is bugging out!

I installed the market version of OCLF (one click lag fix)... And I noticed a huge change in quality of phone conversations.. so I unrooted an undid the lag fix and undid the ext2 files or something silmilar that its called... Did all of that with that OCLF app.. Then I went to privacy settings in the phone and did factory data reset.... Now I noticed my phone buggs out like 3 or 4 times a day saying "sim card removed...reboot phone" due to this I'm missing a lot of calls...
I'm a newb... So is it possible that OCLF app messed up my phone by moving system folders around from interior storage to sd then back to internal when I was uninstalling everything?
Also I noticed I still have the update.zip on my phone's memory, is the stock phone suppose to have that update.zip file or I can safely remove it?
Any way to fix this sim card problem that I started to receive out of no where?
Thank You in advance for any tips or advice

How do Update my galaxy S to froyo?

Hi
I got a message from vodafone today about froyo
yey
but I really want to 'not muck everything up'
I rooted my phone with one click rooter to use titanium backup pro.
My questions:
Should i back up using Nandriod before i attempt the froyo update?
Is Nandriod easy to use? how do i use it?
How do update to Froyo?
Should I unroot my phone using the one click rooter before
and reroot to 2.2 after? (using the one click rooter)
Sorry for all the obvious questions
Can you guys help?

I was previously on JPC froyo, rooted & lag fixed. I use my backup pro for my backup. All I did to update via kies was backup the stuff I wanted, I didn't un-root I just did a factory reset, wiped the cache, then let Kies do its thing. Rebooted, applied a OCLF & Root then restored.

I used the Samsung KIES software. (cheers for the tip)
It took ages to update the software and i had to keep pressing retry i turn kaspersky off at one point but I'm not sure if that helped speed it up any.
I unrooted my phone
Did the Update through Samsung KIES software
the update
removed my desktop icons
and rearranged my apps list to alphabetical
but i get a cool new beach live wallpaper
but where is the autumn leaves one?
GMail app now shows full message
all good
but still GMail get things stuck in outbox esp video
and the TEXT app - 420 character text convert to MMS is still there
but it seems faster overall
and i had to reroot with
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=803682
and i used titanium backup pro to remove the vodafone spam apps

You can get the Autum leaves LWP again there's a topic about how to get it here.

I followed a suggested guide on Vodas eForum, but included my own backup step......
1. On 2.1 installed MyBackup (Free 30 Day trial) from the market and backed up my apps and data to local sd card.
2. Download KIES from http://downloadcenter.samsung.com/d...enter.samsung.com/content/&ModelName=GT-I9000 (http://www.samsungmobile.co.uk/support/softwaremanuals/software.do?phone_model=GT-I9000)
3. Manually copy off music and images and my backups from the sd card to my PC
4. Installed Kies
5. Factory reset phone (recommended)
6. Update via Kies*
7. Restore music and pictures from PC to phone.
8. Copy mybackup folder form 'sd' directory to 'external_sd' directory and restored data and apps.
* Also found that you need Windows Media player 11 for the MTA drivers to work, certainly did on my XP box.
Faffing around it took me about an hour and a half as I wanted to make sure everything was backed up. Only adverse affect is that games havent kept my progress/saved games, another good excuse to trash them again. Oh and the restored texts have the same date and time (time of restore) rather than the original sent times - meh, I'm not bothered 2.2 is better.

[Q] Preparation for OTA update

Hello everyone. I have a stock 2.1 Legend and I am wondering if I have to back up anything before the OTA to 2.2. Will I lose any contacts or other data stored in the phone's internal memory? If so, is there some windows program I can run that will help me out? I have backed up the SD card. Thanks to anyone who can help.

Prior to the OTA update your phone will backup everything important such as contacts, apps, messages and so on.

Actually you won't be losing anything. It will just look like an OS upgrade, even the apps will remain untouched. Of course few of those non froyo supporting apps might stop working properly (if you have any).
But its always a good idea to take a backup.
To backup contacts go to People-> Menu-> Import/Export-> Export to SD Card-> Select the account you want to backup.
to backup sms and call logs there are apps available in market, just search for them. i like the simple backup apps by Ritesh Sahu for sms, apn & call logs

Awesome, thanks for the help!

A bit off topic bit still a bit relevant:
I plan on hard resetting my phone in the near future, if I download Froyo, will the reset erase it?
Since I bought my Legend in August from Bell, I've never gotten a single OTA update at all.
Thanks.

No you won't lose group if you do a hard reset after fupdating, once you've done the update you're updated for good.

Deleting HTC Apps (problem I am having)

With any rom that I have flashed, I have removed a few of the HTC Widgets and Programs.
The problem that I am noticing is that when I delete the apps using root explorer it lowers the amount of space free on my phone.
Example - I flashed the MikShift rom - and removed Footprints, Peep, Stocks, News, FM Radio, and other various HTC and Sprint Apps, but in doing so - it took away storage space from my phone. Any idea as to why, or how I can remove these apps without it taking away from the storage space on my phone.
It took me from probably 330MB free to 240MB free. I came from a Samsung Epic and never had this problem with removing any of these apps.

Not sure on the storage issue, I'm not running any bloated roms, though.
Try removing them with titanium backup, see if it will recreate the issue.

I will try that - I was using root explorer. if i delete them from the ROM before i flash then it is fine. Using the MikSense rom - on first boot i have 368 free in SD and Phone Storage.
on a side note, it seems that every rom i have tried i have MMS issues with. the only one i didnt was preludedrews, I think.
When you say remove with titanium backup - do you mean the recovery hack to delete?

if you have root you dont need to use the hack. he means just use TB to uninstall it

thanks - now i dont have any 3G with the mikshift rom - going to RUU back to stock - re-root - and re-flash it. I just want a speedy decent stock rom without all the BS and working data and MMS for the moment.
I am really hoping that a good MiUi Port or CM 6/7 gets here soon enough. I got tired of waiting for either of those on the epic

Edit after I wiped cache and dalvik to flash the 1.8 back I gained 11mb .......Ok so I deleted sprint tv tel Nav quick office and some other apps I can't remember I didn't lose any internal memory I used TB but I only gained 2mb internal storage Lmao not much....I'm wondering if the shift will ever have a memory boost from firerat like the G1/hero

cool - i will give it a shot.
I ended up RUU'ing back to stock, re-rooting, re-flashed clockwork, and have used Titanium Backup to uninstall everything I didnt want. I also used the Install Updates into ROM function of titanium and now I have about 360 MB free on my phone, with only Titanium and ES File Manager Installed.

Gingerbread Help!

Hello all,
I just installed the gingerbread update for the droid x yesterday. I got to say I absolutely hate it! My music application doesn't seem to be working. My music files dont work at all. My phone doesn't run smoother whatsoever. I'm actually noticing a lot of lagging even when my phone is in maximum performance mode. On my texting app my keyboard doesnt work well. It also lags. I dont want to flash my phone but at the same time I want to go back to froyo. Is there anything I can do? If this isnt possible Id like to at least get my phone to work smoothly with GB. Any help would be greatly appreicated. Thanks in advance.

You can flash back to Froyo or you can try a factory reset on you GB config. I've seen some reports that it helps random issues experienced with the OTA GB.

I have the same symptoms. I don't really want to lose my application data, and I forgot to do a data backup before upgrading. Is there any application (like Titanium backup) that can save my settings without having root (unlike Titanium backup)? Is there any path for me that would preserve my app data? I have seen several postings that recommend SBF-ing back to Froyo and then using the rooted upgrade. If I follow this path, will I lose application data? It seems to me that the options are:
1) factory reset
2) SBF back to Froyo before updating with rooted Gingerbread
3) wait for root on OTA Gingerbread and do a Titanium backup
Option #1 is guaranteed to lose my data. Option #2 I'm not sure about. Option #3 is where I am now, and it's downright painful. My phone is barely functional at the moment.

Option 2 is option 1 taken a step further. If you don't wipe data, it may not boot. If all of your apps are from the market, they will just download again after it

I'm not worried about apps. I'm worried about the data. It will take forever to get three stars on every level of Angry Birds. It's not all about Angry Birds, but I think you get the idea. Does the data get backed up to Google as well? I don't think it would.

So, I have not gotten an answer to this. Anyone have any suggestions on how I can revert from the OTA update without losing my application data? For example, is there a way to mount the phone filesystem in Linux and copy the files?
