Managing start-up apps???

I'm new to Android, but I have a rooted Droid 2 and I have gone through and renamed some of the bloatware apps already... I was wondering if there is a way to better control what apps auto run on start-up? Things like last.fm that have no reason to be running automatically at start-up. Right now I am manually killing those apps after a reboot, but that is a pain to do everytime. Thanks for the help!

Reboot on call ignore.

Twice today my phone has rebooted after swiping the call ignore slider. Im running rooted official GB. Anyone else with this issue or have a solution?

I had this issue on froyo after I removed/disabled some system apps but I can't recall which one was responsible. Have you removed anything? You may just want to reinstall

Yea I think that's what it will come down too.

Contacts not loading

Hey guys. Running GB on my Bell Atrix (unlocked, rooted) and it works great. For some reason, when I try to open my contacts, I get a force close every time. Anyone know why?

Anyone have a problem with camera flash not working?

I keep randomly having an issue with the camera flash not working, and I've seen other similar complaints with other phones but they force stop camera and it works, mine doesn't. The only thing that works is a reboot, but I shouldn't have to do that to fix the issue. Flashlight doesn't work either at the same time btw. Anyone else worth this problem? Any fixes?

Not with the Stock Camera but I also have the Paid CameraZoomFX and the Flash doesn't fire with that unless I set it to Torch Mode. I know that they (CameraZoomFX) just issued a bug fix for the S4 Flash, so I wonder if they're going to issue one for the N3.

My brother had this same issue had to take the phone back for replacement. They replaced it with little issue at Verizon.

Maybe I'll do that. When they replace it do you get a refurbished or new?

I believe he got a refurb. That's what they generally do unless they don't have any then they give new.

Soft reset? Like just rebooting? Or full wipe and restart?

OK I looked that up and it says it's to troubleshoot an app that may be causing the issue, did you remove an app after that?

I have similar problems. My phone camera flash currently doesn't work at all. None of the apps which have access to the camera and the flash work. I'm currently using InFocus M320e. Several days ago I recorded a video for 35 minutes and the flash was on because it was dark at that time. Is there any way to fix it? Thanks.

Safe to uninstall?

Hi guys, I have a app called Samsung push service. Is it safe to uninstall?

I'm guessing your last phone was a Samsung? I had the same thing happen because Google Play pushes what was last installed on your device so if you had a Samsung with Samsung push services it will install it. I started freaking out when my phone started downloading 100 apps and started eating my data up lol.
Just remove the push service from Google Play and it won't happen again if you factory reset or something.

Thanks for the hypothesis. I had a sgs3 before this phone.

Yeah, I just upgraded from a Galaxy s2x :thumbup:
I even tried the S4 but returned it, much happier with this device. Now I just need to find a mod to try out that works for the Canadian phone...
Enjoy your G2!
