I'm not sure it hasn't been asked before, but I couldn't find the topic so far (maybe I haven't searched thoroughly, in this case I apologize). I'm using a DesireHD NAND ROM. So the problem is:
After letting my battery drain to near empty, I tried to turn on my phone for a few times, but I didn't watch the whole boot sequence, I was just surprised to find it turned off again after a while. Then I figured I have very low battery, then i plugged on to the wall charger. Then everything went fine, the phone booted and Sense loaded. I got a few error messages, like: The application (<application name>) has stopped unexpectedly. Please try again. The only choice was to Force close the application. Then came the first strange things, namely:
- a few applications' icons are shown as stock android package files
- practically no application is functioning, apart from Contacts and some fundamental programs, they all give the error message like the one above.
I guess it has something to do with me letting the battery drain that low, but I don't have a clue how to fix it. I wouldn't like to hard reset my phone, if there is other way.
Thanks for any help in advance!
You should try to fix permissions. If that doesn't work, start to see whether your rom recognizes your sd card. If it does, I would recommend a total wipe and reinstall. Make sure to wipe cache, etc. This should be a last resort though, as you will have to reinstall everything and there is risk involved.
As a last *last* resort, task29. As with the reinstall, risk is involved. If you don't pay attention and do these correctly you may be phone shopping soon.

I found the Fix Permissions option in the ROM Manager, ran it, and rebooted. Now background processes (Appkik, SetCPU) seem to be working fine, though the icon of Dolphin browser is still missing and some app icons are still shown as android package files, and are not working. This has happened before, don't remember exactly what made them go away, but they somehow disappeared. Thanks a lot!

My phone just turned off on it's own today. The minute I turn it on...5 sec. later it shuts down again. It continues to do this now all the time. I reinstalled the ROM from bootloader...no problem here
I don't think it's was the ROM (Seatone: SONE 2.1) as I went through Seatone's thread. (& yes, I hard reset after ROM install)
But what I'm trying to figure out is, which app was responsible for this event?
Last Installed APPs
• Magic Mobile
• SensorScroll v.05
Checked above APP threads with no issues that match...
Not saying it's the above apps but I'm just mentioning what things I did last in order to figure this out.
Can those who's devices went through this same phenomenon please share.
Ok, use a program like AdvancedConfig to edit the display timer and see if that works.
When it starts back up again, it doesn't even get passed the flash screen.
Don't worry about that, i've reflashed the device and everything is working. What i'm wondering about is what caused it to get like this?
Might be something was wrong in the rom, preventing the phone from charging. So it might just have been empty...
Just my 2 cents.
Anyone have any idea what may have happened here?
I was unexpectedly away from home, but using the device quite heavily, and didn't have a method to charge the battery.
Once the battery had drained to about 3%, I switched the phone off but I ended up needing to make another call. The phone booted, but all core apps returned a force close message. Phone, Maps, Google Account, all the main stuff... Other apps would launch and function with no problem though.
Thinking it may have just been a glitch, I rebooted the phone again thinking there would still be just enough juice to allow a phone call, but while booting, the battery totally failed.
Once I had a chance to plug in the charger, all core apps continued to fail, even though the phone now had plenty of power.
Even after a battery pull, the same issues continued, rendering the phone pretty much useless. No link to Sprint, no WiFi network, nothing...
The phone is rooted with v1.5.2 RC and Fresh ROM v1.0, so lacking anything else to do, I performed a Nandroid restore from a backup made about 2 days ago and that seems to have fixed up the problem. (whew.. I did not want to resort to the RUU)
But, I just can't figure out what may have caused this odd behavior in the first place....
Are you using apps2sd?
No, I'm not using the apps2sd feature.
The lockscreen text showed "No service" and the notification bar icon showed the same. The "phone" application was the only one that would attempt to restart after being forced closed. After a second fc though, it would apparently give up.
Oh, and just remembered one other oddity.. Once booted and all force close messages removed, attempting to turn on the mobile network resulted in a hard reboot. I really didn't expect anything since there was no service link, but I was just clicking various shortcuts to see what did or didn't work.
Good part is that a Nandroid restore saved the day, so it's more of a curiosity at this point to what the root cause might have been.
I wouldn't have thought that a battery drain could have corrupted the apps or prevented the root filesystem from mounting.
You probably had too many apps installed. It's a known issue with the Hero, where having too many apps installed causes a bunch of core apps to fail to load for no apparent reason. The phone losing power just caused it to reboot, which triggers the issue.

oddly enough I've had a similar experience. it was 2 days before christmas and i was doing all my last minute shopping. heavy use of the phone caused the battery to die, so i just threw it on my car charger. it booted, but REFUSED to get any data at all (i didn't run into any fc's, however). I rebooted it 3 times and each time the issue persisted.
I was running the AOSP 2.0 build at the time, so i flashed my backup of 2.1 and everything was fine from there...

Hmm, good possibility there. Just did a count and I do have 85 apps installed.
(whoof, I had no idea the number had gotten that high. just too many useful apps for this phone.
Hello everyone, I've got an interesting problem that I want the experts here at XDA to help me troubleshoot. Feel free to ask questions as I know there's probably a million variables at this point with stuff installed, uninstalled, gps, root, task killers, etc.
alrighty with that said, I did the e-wrecked gps fix (changing the operation mode and server location+port). That seems to work great in terms of time to lock on my position as well as improved accuracy. Over the next couple of days I noticed some really choppy and lengthy phone start ups after the fix.
Eventually it got to (and currently is at) a point where it kept rebooting the phone, or at least touchwiz. It would load up, scan media, search for the network, do all the start up stuff, then lock up, and turn the screen off. Hitting the lock button/power button does nothing while it resets itself. Then it resets to the lock screen, the screen lights up and it goes into "searching" for the tmo network while doing the storage preparations, and other boot up stuff. It does not restart from cold (with the vibrant, tmo, and galaxy animations, only the lock screen and OS boot process)
Anyone else got any funky restarts going on, for whatever reason? I basically want to start seeing what would trigger this behavior. I started uninstalling stuff one by one trying to figure out why its doing that but sometimes it boots up fine, sometimes it boots but doesn't ever find tmo's network, and sometimes it just does the above.
Observations:
1. It will always boot up fine if the SIM card is out.
2. The last time it did it was today while I was at work, listening to music while the phone was charging. Im noticing that the phone gets pretty hot while charging and really hot if you're using while its charging (getting apps, surfing the web, playing games, etc)
So any thoughts from the tech gurus here? anyone have similar behavior in the past on other phones? is the heat affecting the sim card negatively? I can (and have) put my simcard back in my treo 680 backup phone with no issues whatsoever.
New observation, it consistently does the reset process as soon as the "Adjust Time and Date" as it registers/syncs with the network.
UPDATE: so, i did some research, ended up at the setCPU thread and saw that when set to OnDemand some people's phones experienced similar tendencies. Problem is, mine was already set to auto-detect and "Conservative". I un-checked start at boot, and tried again. Same problem. I uninstalled setCPU completely and my phone appears to be back to normal.
I'll update again if anything changes.
so one of the things that i removed during my troubleshooting was my corporate exchange account. When i added it back. it did its initial sync fine and gave me my calendar and contacts. I then rebooted and the problem came back.
I removed the account and rebooted. it went through two cycles of the restarts and on the third one, it worked. I left it alone after that.
I then was showing my friend some things (browser differences) and had 3 browsers open. It froze as i went to close Dolphin HD. Rebooted and now its back to the cycle.
Mine did this also. Installed several apps, woke up to find a slow phone. Resets galore. A quick reset to defaults and app restore fixed it, sans setcpu of course.

my phone resets itself also as described above, but not really doing anything in particular. i dont have a whole lot of apps installed. i even was using google maps the other day and after it started up the screen went black and the device was unresponsive until the screen came back and it said searching and the media scanner was running.
well first off thanks for responding lol. i thought i was by myself out here.
secondly, i found that if i leave it alone and let it go through its cycle, it does eventually boot up ok (this is recently, before, it was endless). i havent restarted my phone (im afraid to lol) since it did it on its own yesterday (showing my friend the browsers).
since yesterday, i've used it for navigation (motonav), serveral installs, downloaded podcasts, rss feeds, etc and its been ok (even while charging and wifi on). again, havent actually restarted it since yesterday because its actually functioning for once.
Lastly, i unchecked the auto update time and date from network in the settings just to see if that makes a difference because based on previous expereience that is the point where it freezes and resets. Thanks for chiming in and let me know if there's any other advice you have
I'd suggest a reset as mentioned above.
Been checking out this site for awhile but this is my first time posting, today my phone started to have this problem and it just bootloops touchwiz if i have a simcard in the phone.
It works fine without a simcard but my problem is it will not let me turn of auto update of time and date, i have tried disabling this setting and it just enables itself again. I have also noticed that if I started messing around with time and date settings even without a sim touchwiz reloads once. I guess im gonna give a reset a go.

sorry, noob question (i came from winmo and a touch pro 2), what does "a quick reset to defaults" mean? is that like a factory wipe i.e. phone will be brand new again, gotta root again and reinstall everything, change settings, etc?

Root will stick but settings and apps/app data will be gone. It briefs you on what is and isn't lost when you do a factory reset.
Smae problem, its setcpu!
SetCPU with any settings will do this.
It needs an update, the auto detect some how loses and
will set the cpu to 19mhz max and min.
This is too slow to process. I rebooted and pressed settings and uninstalled it
while I could. Seems to behave once out of touchwiz.
For me it was another app not setcpu I never used it. After i did a reset i restored all my apps with titanium backup and once i restarted my phone it looped again. So i did another restore and left off all the apps that i installed right before the problem started and so far i think for me at least one of these caused it
Google maps update
google translate
the extra language pack for translate
barnacle wifi tether
hero of sparta
these are apps that I installed right before the problem happened and without these my phone works fine I am going to see if i can find that one that caused my problem.
It's not the maps update because my phone works fine with it.
It was hero of sparta a gameloft game from there web market funny thing is its suppose to work on the vibrant while dungeon hunter which works fine would only give nexus as a check out option. Anyway im going to try to get a refund tomorrow.
I get the same touchwiz reboot but for me it has only ever happened while using google maps. I do not use set cpu, but I have applied the gps fix. It is more than a little annoying. I have done a system wipe but the problem persists.

yes, if you have setcpu, uninstall it - its buggy with the galaxys
- sometimes you can't wake your phone (if you set a screen off profile), forcing you to do a battery pull
- constant launcher restarts

and this is why i started the thread, to make sure i wasnt all alone. i have everything you have installed as well, but it was doing it before i picked up hero of sparta (and nova, and asphalt 5, man those guys make some good phone game lol).
anyways i just installed barnacle wifi tether yesterday so thats not it either (at least for me). That leaves the google stuff, out of the apps in your list, all of which were installed when i first got the problem, and are still on there after I've removed setCPU

ok so, contacts, text messages, etc stay? Meaning if i do a factory reset, root stays, and all app stuff can be taken care of by, say, AppBrain since it has a running list of everything installed and knows where to get it to install it again? I apprecicate the advice, but this would still be a last resort sort of thing. my phone has worked fine for the past few days but I also havent restarted it yet either
just a quick update, my phone still does this if i reboot my phone (which is never now that i got my 32gb sd card), but for the first time ever hero of sparta caused it to happen while the phone is on. I uninstalled it so we'll see.
UGH! phone boots and works but i get "Sorry! The application has stoped unexpectedly"
bone stock 19000m with JH2(before 3button fix ). A few apps installed, (now gone after managing to enter the reset code in the dialer) and it doesnt load any of them. Even the ones in the phone itself (such as youtube). The only one that seems to work is dialer (which closes if i try to call) and calendar. I get no signal, taking out sim and rebooting does nothing. As well when connected to usb, it is not detected by kies but I can access it through the windows explorer.
GUYS WHAT THE HELL HAPPENED TO MY PHONE! this is way to random, im getting seriously frustrated with android... the only thing i can think of is it has a virus.
I came from a htc diamond, and i was good at tinkering, but everything ive done to try and get the phone back to working normally has failed... any suggestions?
edit: also i noticed when i got to settings>applications>manage applications> EVERYTHING in this list is 0.00B (meaning it isnt taking up any space)
re-install jh2.. or try full reset from recovery menu or settings in phone.
my phone is not rooted and my phone is stock, with jh2 ( i updated a few weeks ago when it first came out officialy on kies). MY phone is not modded. And last but not least, my phone is one of the ones that doesnt go into recovery menu. basically, i dont know how/cant to reinstall JH2.
I typed *2767*3855# into dialer... it went through, seemed to work when i opened it in windows esxplorer but the phone isnt gully wiped as settings are still intact on the phone Edit: when doing this, it crashes at the part factory data reset you guessed it: "sorry the application settings (process com.android.settings) has stopped unexpectedly."
after further observation it seems like the phone memory is corrupted somehow, hence the main settings (like wallpaper, and widgets that dont work are in their place). I am very frustrated, im about to call bell to get this thing sent to samsung.
alright XDA, you have 10 minutes before i send the phone to bell, put your thinking caps on right now if you want to save me 6 weeks of using my old crappy htc diamond.

My MoviNand chip failed on my Bell i9000m as I`ve referenced in other posts. My phone was flashed many times and eventually it failed. It wasn`t from the flashed, after having some help from someone much more knowledgable then myself it was determined the phone would have died anyway.
When the Chip started to die my Internal SD couldnt be read and my external was pretty much useless. I could still boot the OS and make calls, but no apps.
The phone would say "Internal Sd card removed" upon boot, then "External SD card can not be mounted" in the status bar after boot.
We tried many things such as partitioning and other things, and even though the memory looked fine, the kernel would not let it pass checks upon boot.
With my lack of experience I would suspect there will be a lot more posts like this as more people receive their bell i9000m phones.
My second one is a day old and after heavy use (no modification) it is starting to show early signs of the symptom that resulted in my phone dying.
I have another of the exact same phone in my household and it has minor force close and reboot issues also but not to the point of memory corruption.
Hopefully you are before your 30 warranty if you haven't taken it back already. If its before 30 days you get a replacement from the store. If its after you get to wait for them to send it to samsung.
Hi
Recently, I started experimenting with Team Blue Droids Android NAND-Rom on my (Europe, O2) HD2. By experimenting, I mean: "I install it, set it up, be happy with it for a few days, have to reboot for whatever reason, see my phone won't start up, phone starts but loses all its settings, wipe, start over".
After I installed the ROM "for the first times" (as in: after a clean install), I let it rest for a while, then put in my details for the first time setup, letting it rest afterwards again. And just to be sure, I restart the phone several times, each time giving it about ten to twenty minutes to get settled again. Up until this point, no problem.
Problems start occuring after I install some apps (like "Game Dev Story", Slice it, Catan,...) and rebooting the phone afterwards. All of a sudden, my phone tells me that several services (touch, calendar, clock,...) aren't respnding and that I'll have to forcibly end them. Sure enough, even if I try to restart my phone after these messages, the problems stay. Well, sometimes it will restart the "initial setup"-programm again (I'm still figuring out why it chooses to do so and when). After having typed in all my information again, I will finally get to the start-screen (yay!), but not a single programm will work -.- Oh, I don't get any messages about broken services, it's just that the programs I want to start just... *plop* back into oblivion.
Does anybody else hate his or her phone for doing something like this, too?
And most importantly: Does somebody know why this keeps happening? And how to fix it?
get the HD2 Toolkit and task 29 that bad boy. wiping the nand leave you needing to start from scratch (magldr, radio (if needed), CWM, and rom).
anytime ive encountered the services all FC after a flash, ive turned to the toolkit, Task 29, and all was good in my world.
hope this helps. peace
Thank you for your suggestion but that doesn't work either =/ I've already tried it several times...
Bugs bugs bugs........ will they never end??
