Annoying "Major" Startup FC Errors - Loking for Some Feedback

Alright I've searched through XDA, and I'm sure this has been covered before but I couldn't find it.
Problem:
Booted up my phone (i9000T) up this morning and it started vibrating (the FC vibrating type feedback), and I was getting all these .com.Android errors (from the keyboard, to internal Android errors, to Pandora, to the keyboard again ETC). Eventually it kicked me back to the initial setup screen and all those errors kept popping up. (The last apps that I installed were 2 days ago, Shazam and Soundhound from the market)
Finally I said "Screw it", reflashed my phone in Odin, repartitioned, and reinstalled everything (since I decided to format my SD in the Recovery Menu too which I forgot that my TiBu backup was on)
Is my phone/SD Card dying, or WTF is going on? & How common does this BS happen to you guys?
A little background:
I had 2 different i9000m (bell) phones that died from the internal SD errors. When they were dying they went through this same startup BS as what happened to my i9000T. Eventually on the next reboot they would go through the "boot loop of death".
So I decided to go the "i9000T" route because I got really tired of my i9000m phones dying. So of course I'm very concerned about WTF is going on with my i9000T (since that phone isn't supposed to have the SD issues like the Bell)
My current Setup:
i9000T
Running one of the stock Froyo Euro Roms (I9000XXJPU) for a couple of weeks now
Added the I9000B_JPA_JP3_JPA_JPA_modem_850.zip modem to get 3G
Rooted with CF
Apps I have apx 60 or so (all from the Android Market) mainly general BS stuff like Launcher Pro, Smart Keyboard Pro, TV Guide ETC...
I mean I really LOVE the Galaxy S phones, but none of this stuff crapping out ever happened when I owned a Milestone, Desire, or even my Atrix.
My first 2 i9000M phones lasted a month, and now this goofy error happened right around the month mark for my i9000T too, but haven't received the "boot loop of death yet?"
Right now things "appear" to be fine after I reinstalled all my apps and settings again from scratch.
So as my bold question above states:
Any ideas what could be going on with my phone, and is this that common of an issue for the Galaxy S users?...

So how often does a stock ROM crap out for no reason for you guys?...

I once had an error like that, which I thought was probably due to me messing up flashing in Odin. However, it hasn't recurred in a couple of months now, although I'm using the international I9000 and not the I9000T. Also, I've stopped formatting the internal SD during flash to increase its longevity, given I don't flash too often.

do you have a lot of apps installed ?
if yes check if datadata is full or not..

I have exactly 60, with plenty of space available.
None of these errors are making any sense to me...

Clicking repartition doesn't do a factory reset and doesn't clean the cache data.. You need to do that in the 3 button recovery mode (Factory reset / Wipe cache data) in the On-Sound "-" and Home menu.

HTC T Mobile MT4G Needs help

MMMMMMMMMMMTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTT444444444444444444444444444444444444GGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGG
http://forum.xda-developers.com/images/icons/icon5.gif
OK, so here is where my T Mobile MT4G is at:
Had the phone since November 2010. Sole user. Never dropped, or wet.
S=ON.
I purchased a new battery last month as thought this may have been part of the problem.
Phone started acting weirdly, apps freezing, pone freezing, not working correctly and rebooting out of nowhere.
Decided to attempt reset, full factory reset. Could not do so via the phone or via the vol down power on method either.
After a few weeks of negotiating, because the phone is out of warranty, HTC customer service (Thanks guys!) gave me the PD15IMG file. I loaded it onto a formatted SD card.
Uchecked FASTBOOT.
I was able to use the battery out, re-install battery, vol down and power button to allow the new ROM to load from the SD card, which it seems to do, that is, all files, but the first TP file which is "bypassed".
Then when asked to hit the power button to reboot, the screen freezes on the T Mobile MY screen.
If after say 20 minutes, I remove the battery to reboot, doing it this way instead, all apps and previous settings are still in place and the phone is still more or less inoperative. The new ROM is not installed. Go figure.
Messages from various apps keep popping up indicating that Andriod app this or that is not functioning correctly.
I never dropped the phone or got it wet. It looks great, only does not work correctly.
I suspect part of the problem may be apps (guilty as charged for having too many apps) that may be conflicting and I can not even manually delete the apps as they constantly reappear, no matter what. Tried this many times.
This has happened repeatedly. For well over a month.
I can not factory reset from within the phone either (Phone and SD Card > Factory reset).
The factory reset seems to take place yet the phone when and if it reboots only reboots to the most previous state, it certainly is not reset.
I downloaded the full wipe software (FULL_WIPE_1.5_EXT4_DS), and am unsure how to use it.
I am tired.
Here's my proposition:
Am willing to send the phone to anyone who thinks he or she can get it working. I'm a 64 year old guy and will offer up to $50.00 if the phone can be returned to a fully functioning default state in whatever rom you choose. I will pay return shipping cost (via USPS) too. I know this is not much, but I am fearing the phone may be fried, or not!
Personally I am looking for a non app rom, like virtuous unity 2.2, (with S=OFF, naturally) and will settle for the HTC rom of PD15IMG (S=ON) at the very least.
I have spent too many hours on this and my son also has spent many hours attempting to get the phone working in the pristine state.
Any thoughts on this will be greatly appreciated.
Cordially,
Robert

[Q] Investigating really slow Nexus 7 2012

Hi,
My Nexus 7 2012 (very first batch) is quite often behaving really slowly. It is common for the settings screen to take 15-20 seconds to open. From the homescreen. With no running app.
Here is a video after I've reset everything to factory defaults, let it run and index things on its own for an hour and then manually upgrade a small app:
At other times, the speed is pretty decent for such a tablet. I just can't figure out why this difference. I've tried to check for wakelocks, tried a logcat and many other things. I can't make any sense from it.
Rebooting the tablet seems to have 50% chance of fixing the problem. So it's probably not a memory leak.
The tablet is rooted, on the latest build and I noticed that App Ops X survived the reset but no funky software is installed and the behaviour predates the installation of App Ops X. The network is not a problem here. The 2013 Nexus 7 of my wife works just fine and so does the Nexus 5 taking the above video.
How can I investigate this ? Is there an app that can run various reliable diagnostics to find out what kind of activity is causing trouble ? I tried to use logcat but the result is quite verbose and nothing rings a bell. I would really like to understand rather than just return it and wait or, worse, buy a new device.
Thanks.

Let me know if you find a solution my Nexus 7 has been really slow, Im rooted with CM11 M6 & KK GAPPS, TWRP 2.7.0.0 I dont know what happened to this tablet.

Mine too. Nexus 7 2012 16GB running PA 3.99 (JB4.3). PA Kernel and GAPPS, PA launcher or whatever one came with stock PA.
It takes upwards of 10 seconds to unlock frequently, even from a fresh boot, and without any security just a simple swipe unlock.
App drawer can take 10-15 seconds to open.
If I touch too much during these lag times I will often get a launcher not responding error.
I've about given up myself and am looking at other ROMs. Before I reflash though I may try a different kernel.
I'm downloading a few right now and I'll hopefully remember to report back my results.

Mine is suddenly unbearably slow too. It's a 2012 edition and I'm not rooted, running the stock software. I've tried clearing caches (app and system), doing a factory reset, flashing the factory image, but it just runs like a dog. When I switch it on it takes a few minutes to become responsive, and apps regularly say they will take upwards of 20 minutes to download updates - small apps too, about 3MB. The download issues are nothing to do with my wifi as the tablet is slow wherever I use it, and my Nexus 5 downloads the same things in a matter of seconds. Would love to know what I could do to fix my N7. I don't want to root it or flash a custom ROM - don't want to go down that route - I just want the great performance that I had from it before.

I was having the same issues described here as well after owning the tablet for awhile, and tried every custom ROM, kernel, and android version I could find for our device along the way, in the hopes of finding a solution.
The one thing that finally helped for me, was formatting the device to use F2FS file system format on all partitions. The initial setup is a bit tedious, as you will lose ALL data on the device, so first must back up everything, then restore it all once the device has been reformatted. But the payoff has been huge for both me and my wife.
Making this switch has made both of our tablets usable again, even enjoyable! It's well worth the effort put in to make the switch.
See this thread here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2678140, which has the modified recovery, files, and instructions needed to convert. It also helps to first make sure you can successfully use fastboot/ADB commands from your PC to the device, in case you get into any trouble along the way.
There's also an app now available for converting any rom to all-f2fs (prior to flashing), it's cheap and well worth the cost (about the price of a cup of coffee) https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.runnerway.converttof2fs&hl=en.

NST won't connect to B&N

After rooting and re-rooting ½ dozen different NST I find that sometimes after rooting I'm no longer able to access the B&N storefront, whether to browse or download purchased content. I can't seem to find any common denominator, different kernels, installed apps, it just seems random, the only solution that I've found is to revert back to the original nandroid that was made right after rooting and starting from there. Has anyone else experienced this and if so how did you go about correcting it? TIA OB

Does this mean that you get a flash screen when you try to open Shop.apk?
Is this device assuredly registered with B&N already?

You're not copying the same /rom partition to multiple Nooks, are you?
If you are blasting 1.9G images to Nooks, that's what you are doing.

To answer you both, the nooks have been registered and working fine within the B&N ecosystem, however after awhile of trying different apps and settings I lose the ability to communicate with :B&N, on every device to be able to restore connectivity I flashed a nandroid backup specific to that device. It just seems to randomly stop connecting and the only way to rectify it is to go back in time with the nandroid. Which is much simpler than me originally going back to stock and rerooting the device. I wish I could narrow it down because I have quite a few gift cards from relatives, even if I purchased them on my pc I have no way to download them to the Nook itself. If anyone has any ideas I'm up for testing. TIA

So what is ACTUALLY happening when you try to, let's say, open the shop?

The sync button rotates a couple of times then all of the panes are blank, if I try from the home screen I get a generic error message that something went wrong and to try again. Happens on the home screen, library and the storefront. :banghead:

Boo. I don't really want to tell you this (because it's a hassle), but back when I was a newbie with hacking and such, I had that problem, too, and I had to do the interrupted-boot reset to fix it. :thumbdown:

Why would it be a hassle, there's a much better way to get back to factory stock, just hold down the lower page turn buttons while powering up the device, after a few seconds you'll get a prompt asking if you wish to reset the device. :thumbup: No more 8 failed boot attempts before you could reset.

It's not the same process. You can also boot with NookManager and do the factory reset offered there, as it makes the Nook think that it has been unsuccessfully booted 8 times in order to get the actual factory IMAGE to restore.
I'm signing off now. Bye.

New Nexus 6P User, problems out of the gate

So like the title says, I'm a new Nexus 6P user, and I had problems out of the gate.
I bought the device 2nd hand from a guy off craigslist, after my S6 edge started over heating after I had the screen replaced (don't buy Samsung "edge" phones, I know your careful, but on the off chance you drop it, your in a world of trouble).
I tested the phone, before I bought it, it appeared pretty much brand new, everything worked. When I got home, and hard reset it again for good measure all hell broke lose.
After a hard reset the phone wanted to update to build 19 something. After the update and a reboot, the phone app kept crashing before I could finish the setup process. The only thing I could do is factory reset it again. This appeared to clear up that problem. I did the near by device thing, and restored it from what Google could find out about my S6 edge. I wish it was more of a restore like what you can do in the iOS world, but it's better then what we had before so it's cool. I noticed that Chrome would crash everytime you tried to use it only in less I uninstalled the update. After I got the phone to the point where I wanted it, I thought I was free in the clear. When I started trying to use music apps, they all crash. Apple Music, Spotify, Soundcloud. Then I noticed YouTube also crashed the same way. When I tried to make a phone call, the phone app would crash too... So the phone was useless. I downloaded the SDK and the most current build which I think was 20 something. I followed a guide on here and formatted the phone reinstalling everything around build 20. The only thing this fixed was the phone issue.
I could now make phone calls without it crashing, but I was in the same boat with some applications working, and the same ones that didn't work not working. I flashed this phone 5, or 6 times, with the last time me formatting the userdata. I read that it wasn't a good idea because it could lock me to only 32GB ( I had a 64GB version), but after I did the flashing along with the usedata format, I still had 64GB of useable space, however I still had the same issue with the same types of applications crashing. I tried older builds, same issue (also the older builds all had the problem with the phone app crashing to the point that the phone wasn't usable).
I ended up sending the phone to the manufacturer, which appears to be in the same metroplex I live in. Hopefully they can find a hardware problem under warenty and fix it. I'm making this post to see if anyone else ran into similar issues, and if anyone knows if this is a hardware build issue, that was hopefully resolved.
I'm sorry to be so long winded...

Is the phone rooted and running a custom ROM?

Everything appeared to be stock, I don't know if it was rooted before, but when I was finished with it it was stock, I even locked the boot loader again (it was locked before I started flashing it)
