After I recharge the battery I have a slew of force closes, certain system apps do not work, and 3g never connects... wifi works, same with phone calling, texting is a hassle with the force closes. And it's not a rom issue. I've used two roms(Bionix and Trigger) and it affects both. I've wiped the phone, aside from formatting the internal card, no clue. Any help will be great, thanks!
You say you wiped the phone, does that mean you odin'd back to JFD? If not, try it.
You could also try to back you internal to your computer and reformat it then just copy everything back.
Maybe one of the above mentioned will help.

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.
I've had my vibrant for about 2 weeks now, and have had some issues with media scanning. I know that the media scan can take a while if you have a lot of files on your card and all, but that's not my problem.
The issue I'm having is that my phone started doing a random media scan while sitting idle. After that scan was done, another one, and another, and another, and so on.. I pulled the external sd card, but still had the issue. Pulled the battery, same issue. The only thing that gets my phone working again is the "Factory data reset". I have already had to do the "Factory data reset" 3 times to get my phone usable.
Is there some kind of application that could be causing this? It seems to be something software related, since a factory data reset fixes the issue temporarily. The issue starts up after I get all my apps restored.
Maybe you dropped it or something. I would return it for repair. This is the first time I'm hearing of something like this.
Didn't drop it. I had more issues, so I performed a complete stock flash with odin. Everything is working great now. Definitely something I scewed up on my own...

yeah the phones are a lil flaky once u mess with them
Okay; so last night I unplugged my phone at 100% right as I went to sleep. I do this on a regular basis so nothing new.
I wake up this morning to my phone being turned off/dead. I attempt to turn it on after plugging it into the wall..and it got stuck on the boot logo and would vibrate in short bursts.
Weird; because I haven't flashed anything in a few weeks and everything seemed stable.
I pull the battery and reboot the phone..seems to work.
But as the phone powers on; the screen to log in to my account pops up to restore my data etc etc..
And guess what happens next? Force closes for every app I have install..no structural fc's.. just happens when I try opening ANY app installed.
I did try running Dolphin Browser through the phone's cache and moving the cache to my SD Card. Didn't work with it in the phone; but moving it to SD card allowed it to work for a bit then it crashed.
I fixed it by re-flashing the current rom i was running. I am running ext4; was posting to see if anyone has come across this?
What rom were you on?

I haven't seen or heard of this before but I would suggest a fresh install. Odin back to stock dk28 and redoing everything the manual way. It's a ***** but dollars to donuts it fixes your problems.

Been running midnight 2.2 for a while now. And it supports ext4; before you shoot that down
@kenvan I already fixed the issue; I was just seeing if anyone else ran into this..and to try and find out what caused it. Wish I was home so I could of gotten a logcat :/
I had previously posted an issue I have had with my phone randomly shutting down when it was in sleep mode. The only way to get it back on was to pull the battery. It was not ROM specific, and was driving me crazy!. I Odined back to stock, formatted my sd card, rerooted, put a ROM on my phone and the problem seemed to go away. I just installed Launcher Pro, to see if It will happen again, so far working fine. I think Titanium backup may have something to do with this issue, because last time it started happening, I had done a restore with titanium. It might also have something to do with the SD card. I am going to play with this more over the next few days, and If I can figure it out, I will update this post. Any comments will be very appreciated.
2 weeks ago, I received a replacement S5 when the screen on my old phone died. At that time I rooted lollipop and everything was running fine.
Today, I woke up and the phone was complaining that it was running out of internal storage. I checked and it was 10.30GB/10.52GB. I deleted some files and brought usage down to 9.7GB. The phone stopped complaining. 2 hours later, the internal card is completely full. I deleted a few more files and again the card is full.
I have rebooted and turned off data to see if the phone might be downloading anything to the card. No luck. I even tried looking at the directory structure in ES File Explorer, but the darn program keeps crashing, probably because there is no free storage.
Does anyone know which directories are safe to delete/what data can be removed? would it make sense to go into the application manager and start deleting data from apps?
What the heck could be causing the internal card to be filling up? browser cache? buggy programs?
I also just remembered something else: when I woke up and unplugged the phone from an over night charge, the battery was not at 100%. I got to work and it complained that it was at 20%. I plugged it in and after 2 hours it's only up to 30%. I turned off the phone and it seems to be charging normally.

This will most likely fix all your storage issues. As for the battery percentage, that may have just been a fluke. I've had it happen once before.

I asked one of the techs here in the office and he suggested I do a factory reset. I titanium backed up everything and did the reset. I then reinstalled everything and memory is happy. Only 6.31of 10.52 is in use. The only sucky thing is that I forgot to back up my noon app and lost a few days of food, exercise and weight. Oh well.
The weirdest thing and the reason I did the reset is that when I opened the card via USB, it displayed only 200+MB of files, but told me it was full when I tried to copy anything. So weird.
When you hook it up to USB, only your personal portion of internal storage is visible to you. The system and data take up internal storage as well, but that's visible to you via USB when using Windows Explorer or any PC file explorer. Doing a factory reset cleared all of the data on the phone, including system data. That's why you have all your space now. If you use Titanium Backup to restore things, then you are most likely going to run into the same issue. If you are done restoring everything you need with Titanium Backup, then follow the link I just posted before it causes insufficient storage.
