[Q] MDJ CM7 reboot causing many force closes and very unstable behaviour

Since a few days I am using CM7 by MDJ. Today, I rebooted the phone, and after the reboot everything got completely unstable, and I got many force closes. Almost no app works anymore, Besides, all my contacts and text messages are gone.
What happened?

Force Closes on multiple ROM'S

Okay, so I initially rooted and was running Bonsai on DK28 and everything was great. When EB13 came out I installed syndicate frozen 1.0.1 and after the fixes for email and maps everything was once again great, for 3 days.
Today I started getting force closes for my wireless tether, email and messaging apps. Rebooted a couple of times and it still was happening. So I flashed Bonsai 3.0.1 and the same thing was happening. The only thing I installed today was the Angry Birds update and Startup Auditor, although I never opened and set anything up with that.
What do you guys think I need to do to get it back to "normal"?

Uninstalled startup auditor and rebooted. Still force closing.

It sounds like your data was corrupted. When you installed bonsai, it backed up the corrupted data and restored it. I would use AppBrain to sync your apps, wipe data 3 times in recovery, and then flash a new rom and reinstall your apps (from appbrain).

i have almost same problem except i did a fresh install of eb13 with odin , day 1 everything worked and then day 2 stuff kept crashing like messaging, email and some others

Did you ever pull your battery while the phone was still on? I did that twice and it did the same thing. The newer roms have journaling disabled so you have to be gentle and let them turn all the way off before pulling the battery.

I hope you didn't Advance restore your data from a previous DK28 rom...

Has anyone made any progress with this? I have the same issue of getting FCs on pretty much every ROM I use. It pulling the battery a problem?

Very much so. If you pull the battery on a no journal ROM your data gets corrupted because it gets no chance to close files and write back to the phone data. Journaling keeps and compares a copy of data to prevent this. Easiest way to get rid of FCs is factory data reset then enable journaling. Also if you keep restoring corrupted data you will get FCs all the time.
Try clearing data in all the apps that are FCing and clear data in Google Services Framework. If on a GB ROM you have to use Titanium Backup for rhis.

SMS Force Close

so i am trying to fix this for a friend. her stock sms app force closes every time you open it. i have cleared the cache and data. no different. i have read that factory resets may fix the problem but they dont give what is causing the problem. which is not a valid argument to factory reset if they are just guessing. its completely stock. no root. any help would be awesome.

I've been having it happen too. Just hold down the power button and selecting restart works. Shutting off the phone once a day is good too

restarting the phone does not work in this case. i have tried a few times.

my wife's MT4G has started to show similar symptoms recently. random force closes, and she will have to reboot to get it to work, but once she reboots all of her messages are gone and smsbackup is not backing it up. Her phone is completely stock no root and never has been. (she won't let me touch it ) lol

My wife is the same way and her phone was buggy too...she got the update a week or two ago and so far so good....

the best thing to do is a factory data reset,as to why its force closing, it could be a simple bug or something went wrong on installing android on the phone. if it continues to keep happening go to t mobile an have them replace it,under warranty. the other option is to root an flash the new 2.3 update for the phone.

Got my first random reboot on EI22

Everything was fine until today when I decided to remove the stock recovery reload script, reodined CWM and also flashed the CRT off zip.

Was the CRT script based on the EI22 framework?

I got it from the EI22 CRT off thread in the theme section.

Last night I also had an odd reboot. Not like the old random reboots that would happen when the phone was asleep, this one seemed like it was caused by a GPS crash. I had been using an app that triggered the GPS, (weatherbug I think) and when I closed it, the GPS icon stayed on. Even after I turned off GPS it still stayed on. The phone also started getting pretty warm. GPS itself no longer worked. After a few minutes of trying to shut down GPS the phone locked up. A minute later it did a "partial" reboot, playing the startup sound and eventually giving me the launcher screen. It was still not running right, with the GPS icon stuck on and the phone very sluggish. I did a shutdown and restart. The phone took a long time to start up, sitting on the "big S" for a while just like on it's first startup. Makes me think something got corrupted in the cache and it had to rebuild it.
I don't know if this was just a random event or the sign of problems to come.
This was on Stock EI22, installed as an OTA upgrade over a fresh EC05 install. The only mod was the CRT off / Circular battery mod that I created at the UOT kitchen.

Well fortunately my phone hasn't done it since. Thinking back, it may have been somehow triggered from a WiFi issue as I leave my WiFi toggle on most of the time and I had just pulled into my garage so the phone obviously was switching from 3G to WiFi around that time.
I am still having a weird issue though where Launcher Pro force closes initially every time I reboot the phone ever since then.

Perhaps clearing data on LauncherPro and rebuilding the setup from scratch will solve that for you.

Tried clearing data, reinstalling, etc. Doesn't matter, still FC's immediately after reboot. Problem must be with Launcher Pro not liking something, because I just flashed CleanGB Rom (which includes the CRT-off and several other tweaks) to try it out and it does the same thing on that.
Update: Seem to have solved it, but not sure why. Had Voodoo Plus set to load module on boot, when I turned that off LP did just fine after rebooting. Decided to flip the load on boot back on to see if it would start FCing again and magically enough it hasn't.

I just had a random reboot and im in stock EI22..... Why?

Been on it since it was released, no reboots here... Working great for me.

ive had this off and on for a few days now. i find it to be caused by having multiple launcher in my case spb shell .had it running stock the first day so i flashed a rom and its still there. also other apps that use alot of resources will cause it. it partail reboots about 3 or 4 times and then runs normal.

I have the same issue with Zeam Launcher, clearing defaults doesn't seem to help. I wonder if there's some kind of half-assed check to make sure that TWLauncher is running? I dunno, but it's obnoxious considering how many times a day I'm forced to reboot EI22, added to the fact that they got rid of the deathgrip reboot.
My phone has "Randomly" rebooted on me several times, usually in an area with little signal coverage. Each time, it seems like there's some program (like Spotify or DI.FM) running that's making network calls when the signal craps out.
EI22 has been nothing but problems for me.

Just had my first random reboot. I'm stock EI22 not rooted yet. Imanually installed on the first day and this was my first. Phone was off just sittin on the table and the screen come on showing low battery but was still sittin at 30% and it shut off and the samsung screen come up and went thru the boot up process.

My Stable setting with no random reboots !!!!
After trying out virtually every rom/kernel out there (started with stock) I finally got a configuration in which I hadn't got any random reboot (or any other silly issues). My current setting are :
ROM : ERA Lagendary RC2
Kernel : Samurai 2.0.1 (inbuilt with Rc2)
Theme : Ei22Ics version 2 (just for fun !!!)
I have used Voltage control to OC it with settings : 400 Mhz minimum(recommended somewhere in dev post), 1340 Mhz maximum(~1400 mv voltage which I think maximum my handset can handle) with ONDEMAND governor.
My Epic is running flawlessly with no random eboots of FC's since last 4 days (while it used to reboot atleast 3-4 times daily earlier).
Hope this helps !!!!
Epic Timezzzzzzzzz !!!!!!

I still get random reboots in EI22, but not as many as I did on the GB leaks. I can cause a reboot by scrolling to fast in Settings, Applications, Manage Applications, All. I have had the phone run for 90 hours without a random reboot so I'm happy.

Had 2 reboots over the past week, where after charging all night I pulled the usb charger cable out and it rebooted. Stock EI22 except rooted, keyboard/CWM flash, and GPS_fix.

Sounds like your USB port or charger cord is going bad. That is not random. If connections are shorted momentarily it will cause a reboot. Happened once to me on my cheap car charger.

Well I did notice it only happened on that particular charger (from Walmart)...also, my wife's epic didn't reboot, but had the charging light stuck on all day. I had to power it off and remove the battery to end it. Would that be maybe the same problem?

Been on CleanGB for quite a while. Went out of town this weekend to Chicago and ended up being rebootpalooza on my phone. Probably had almost half a dozen, once it just shut down in the middle of a phone call at the train station after the low battery notice came up, even though after I powered it back on it still had 28%. Another reboot was I unplugged the car charger shortly after the "full" indicator light came on. Others were just amazingly random. I've loved my Epic up until this trip when it turned into the most unreliable thing I've had.

[Q] Nexus 4, Force close loop on all apps, Help?

Last night my phone was working perfectly and i didnt install any new apps yesterday so i dont know what caused this to happen...
At about 6am today i turned on my phone. it was all fine until i unlocked it. When i put in my pattern it unlocked and it showed a few of my icons for about half a second and then it came up with an error message saying that the launcher had crashed so i pressed "ok" and it came up again so i pressed "report" and then it said "market feedback agent has stopped" and went back to the launcher and came up with the first error again.
i was just thinking about a way of getting around all the errors to install a new launcher so then i could use my phone. i plugged in my earphones and used the button to start playing my music, then i unlocked my phone and quickly opened skype before the error came up again and then i went in my notifications and i could open Play Music from the notification, i had a notification for an app update so i clicked it and it opened the play store so i installed "go launcher ex" i tried going into my recent apps to change my song but it said "system ui" had crashed, i tried to get into my settings but that crashed too, i worked out that it was most of the stock apps and a few others like bbm that werent working.
device specifications:
Nexus 4
Android 4.3
Rooted
Stock rom
Stock kernal
I dont know what to do without losing everything? thank you for any help

rebooted already? This usually fixes a lot of probs.
cheers

This is happening to me to. I fix it by clearing the ram or closing all open apps. But it happens like once daily now. Any long term solutions?

just different description... Just cleared google service framework data... will check back in on that thread after tomorrow morning and let you know if it works.

Same here. Bone stock and I don't even shut the phone off but overnight something happens to it and all apps crash. It sucks because it was my morning alarm but the clock app crashes without sounding the alarm.
If I reboot it will work perfect till the next morning, then all over again. Wiped and it still does it. Called it in and Google wasn't aware of anything so if you get this make sure and call Google so they know its widespread.

I cleared services framework and it solved it. So far, 2 days without infinite force closes

Same thing happened to me today. I rebooted into recovery, cleared cache, clear dalvik cache and reboot. Been fine since.

That did not fix it for me.
I got the infinite loop the next morning.

i tried re-booting but nothing happened, i had to go into recovery mode and reset my phone. now i wish i made a backup.

I haven't been getting those major crashes yet but after a while I can't open any apps or they "stop. " I think it has been happening ever since I returned to stock for the kit Kat update. Closing all the apps sometimes fixes it but that ruins my favorite part of the phone which is I can have all my stuff open all the time.

I'm still having this problem. Did everyone else fix it or did it just go away?

You guys should try fastboot flash system... I was getting these crashes awhile back and flashing the system.IMG solved it for me. You will not loose any data either
