Okay, here's the sad story so far:
I have a (previously) unmodded G1, with normal T-Mobile software. Yesterday morning around 5AM I get the little notice that I can upgrade to Cupcake. Unfortunately, it's 5 in the morning, I couldn't sleep, and I wasn't thinking all that straight... so I decided to root my phone and upgrade it to 1.5 instead.
So I downgraded to RC29, got myself root access, and installed the latest Jesus Freke build. Now the fun starts. As soon as the phone boots into the JF build I get constant android.process.acore force close errors. And I do mean constant, I force close, and it pops up again, force close, pop up again ad infinatum. I reflashed a few more times, varying the order of installing the radio update and misc. stuff like that, but still no luck.
So I decide to go back to the T-Mobile build without root access. I mean, I lived without it before, and not having root is better than not having a functioning phone, right? So I download the official cupcake update from google's dev site and install that. Woohoo, no more force closing, it looks like everything works!
Orrrrr not. I can't get into Settings now. I've tried to open Settings from the home menu, from a shortcut on the desktop, and through the menu button. Every time I try to do so, it will open up a black screen (like it's starting to load the settings menu), stay there for anywhere between 1-4 seconds, then go back to the main desktop screen. Everything else on the phone works, Market, Camcorder, soft keyboard, everything. Most apps I've downloaded also seem to work. However, when I installed the Toggle Settings app and tried to toggle the GPS, it popped into the settings menu with a black screen with the Security and Location text at the top, and then promptly went back to the app without changing the GPS.
I've tried everything I can think of at this point and the almighty Google doesn't seem to have any answers, anyone else able to give me some help? It would be much appreciated.
Update and bump, because I really need some help here:
I flashed the phone back to RC30, and left it overnight. In the morning there was an OTA update to cupcake available, so I installed that. Unfortunately, even with the OTA update the settings menu still won't stay up. Any advice?

Silly question, but did you do an alt-W to wipe the phone?
yep, wiped it many times during my trials and travails.
before or after the issue with the settings menu?
I've actually tried it both ways, wiped or not wiped, the settings issue remains the same.
I decided to rename the thread because it seems many people have this problem, and people are posting solutions that worked for them ..
Im using Android build : Mdeejay eVo Sense v. 2.3 rEVOlution
If you get a network problem, try doing one of these :
Enable Airplane mode, wait for a while, then Disable it. [tgtoys]
Get a program that shows CPU usage, and try killing each program one by one to identify which program is causing your network to hang. [Gushfevah]
--> Gushfevah mentioned that STOCKS was causing a problem, try killing this first.
-------> Gushfevah suggested using System Panel Lite, try using that and comment if it fixed your problem !
Try a Hot Restart, fixed mine once.
I dont take credits for any of the solutions that worked, thank the people who replied down here that tried to help me fix my problem.

Hello all,
Im using this android build : Mdeejay eVo Sense v. 2.3 rEVOlution
Can someone please tell me how to fix my network connection problem ?
It was working fine yesterday but it suddently stopped working today ...
It shows 2G with a green arrow pointing downwards and a white one above it pointing upwards ...
I cant use the market, email or weather.
For example, weather says :
CONNECTION ERROR :
Sorry, but the connection dropped while your weather information was downloading
Please help !!!
This is a known problem. All builds using PPP data are experiencing drops, search through the threads.
To temporarily fix put your phone in airplane mode and then turn back to regular.
Sent from my HTC HD2 using XDA App
i have problems with cellular signal too on the same version
although its a great build, i'm facing natwork drops and connection failiers, some off my calls are hunged during talk.
radio version 2.12.50.02_2
I changed to MDJ Froyo Revolution 1.5 yesterday (love the build BTW) and had this random problem. (white arrow up, green arrow stuck on down) My phone became verry laggy, Airplane mode didn't work to sort it out, and all i could do was restart the phone.
When it did it the 3rd time i used "System Panel Lite" to see what was running, and the CPU seemed stuck on 99%, i killed everything in the list, and straight away it was fine.
Next time it happened i once again opened up System Panel and killed apps one by one. The one that made everything ok was "Stocks" which automatically runs on start i presume.
I restarted again and waited to see if it did it again, sure enough after about 1/2 hour using various internet apps it locked up, so once again i killed the Stocks program and it ran fine again.
Thinking that quite obviously something was wrong with the Stocks application i went into the Sync settings and Stocks was not set to auto sync, but it had the white sync circle next to it as though it was trying to sync but hadn't completed.
Anyways, i manually synced it, and since then i've not had a single problem since last night.
I don't know if its a co-incidence, and i'm still trying my hardest to get the data to freeze, but it hasn't as yet after a good few hours using Internet related features.
Will keep you posted on this.
2.14.50.04 radio btw
@Gushfevah:
That's an interesting solution (sort off), I'm going to give that a go now!
Was pretty fine today ... Just a few hours ago, I lost the internet connection ..
Nothing is bringing it back again .. Im waiting for the internet signal to comeback so I can get System Panel Lite and check for a solution !
EDIT
When I check 4G in wireless and networks ... it says 4G failed ...
Is that the problem ?
POSSIBLE SOLUTION
Can someone try this when they have a problem ?
Plug your phone into the charger, then do a hot reboot ... it solved my network issue ! well for now atleast ...
I will try doing this again if it stops and reply back here with the results !

I think system lite panel is a good way to see whats using up the CPU for network data .. probably jamming up the whole thing in the process.
When I got my few mins of network availability, I rushed to the market place to get it .. Well until now I dont have any problems after I killed some apps using panel lite ..
Im going to add the on the first topic
Not had chance to reply again till now.
I used to use the Hot Reboot as it was the only was i could re-establish the data connection, as airplane mode wouldn't work when it froze.
Once i found i had the System Panel and realised what it did i decided it was worth a shot.
Not had any Data Drops so far, but i've been using WiFi mostly since, and reconditioning the battery.
Gonna keep an eye on the system panel, and may buy the full version for the logging an reports to see whats hogging the CPU if it happens again once i switch back on the Data.

Can you please explain what do you mean by reconditioning the battery ?

See that thread
Its been 2 days since my network is dropped and wont come back at all !!
I tried restarting, airplane mode, stopping connections .... nothing is working :S
I opened panel lite but nothing was hogging up the memory ... what the ????
Any ideas ?
Not sure if this is a problem with the phone or some settings i'm missing. I bought the phone 2 weeks ago so i think there is still time to get a replacement but i was wondering if anyone has seen this problem before.
The stock weather widget that is on the home screen by default does not refresh the weather sometimes. If you manually click on the refresh sign from the home screen, it shows it trying to refresh but nothing changes. Same happens if you open the app and refresh from there.
I have data turned on, sync, gps, etc. Nothing i can see that would be stopping it.
The problem is fixed if i reboot the phone. If the phone has been up for about 6-7 hours it still does the refresh just fine. If its been up for 30+ hours the problem above starts happening.
I have another S4 as well, have not been able to catch if the same thing happens with it, but a side by side comparison of "status" and all the apps running is identical and where my phone fails to update the weather (up time over 30 hours) this other one works just fine (up time 5 hours).
The only difference between the 2 is that my phone is rooted.
Happened with my s2. Not my s4
I think i was able to narrow it down and i'm starting to think there is nothing wrong here.
Clearing cache/data on the app also brings it back so no need to re-start. But the failed refresh seems to happen when i'm not able to get a GPS signal. (would be nice if it actually dont you this with an error pop up or something) Still need to try it a few more times but im 95% certain its timing out if it cant lock on GPS. It only seems to happen inside.
The other phone was working even without GPS turned on, which i thought was odd.I later found that it was not displaying current city, but instead was just configured to display the city i happened to be in.
Edit: Seems this is a more widespread problem, looks like the consensus is that is has to do with Daylight Savings Time change & the wireless charging Orb. Some others with similar problem:

Hey guys. I have a 16GB Nexus 4 that is rooted (SuperSU 1.65), running CWM (6.0.3.6), stock radio, stock kernel, stock 4.3.
I installed the pre-released hangouts v2 that was extracted from the AOSP 4.4. It immediately started causing random apps to crash so I uninstalled it and reinstalled the original version of hangouts. Ever since then though, every morning when I take my phone off the charger (orb) whenever I try to open any google apps (gmail, settings, camera, etc) it will force close that app. Once I reboot the phone everything seems to be working fine until the next morning.
I have tried clearing the cache & dalvik but to no avail.
My last nandroid is from a few months ago so Id really like to have to reload that only as a last resort. Any suggestions?
Thanks.

Try clearing the data of Google Services Framework. If that doesn't work, reflash your Gapps package.
thanks, I will give that a shot.
Mine started doing this but not rooted and didn't install any pre-release apks. The clock even crashes while on the charger when it tries to sound the morning alarm.
A reboot clears it for the day but its back every morning. I reset the phone but no change.
crashes every morning
I think it has something to do with the time change???

I got the same problem, i click on clear cache of Google Service Framework but nothing happens!
Can you reproduce your steps?
whelp, i was wrong. When I woke up this morning, checked my email and it crashed. So I tried to go into settings to clear the framework and the settings crashed too. So I rebooted and its fine again. Any other ideas?
Same problem
I was the one that started that thread on Reddit. I've done a factory reset from the settings menu, cleared the cache data and factory reset via fastboot menu and the issue is still occurring. Phone is completely bone stock, no root or anything.
For me it started Saturday 11/2. I have been using the charging orb just as everyone else. I tried using my wall charger last night and I didn't have an issue. Not sure why out of the blue this could be the cause. I will be trying my orb again tonight to see if it reoccurs.
Mine did not crash this morning, after clearing the google service framework yesterday.... now it might crash tomorrow.
here is my thought into the process... Are we all using the google alarm clock? and after the time change?
4.4 can't get here fast enough

The first time it happens to me i was using the timely app as alarm clock. And it occurred the same day i got the time change. After that i uninstall timely and start using de default clock app.
The same day i got the time change the chrome app was not working either, i had to change my time zone to fix it.
I dont use my phone as an alarm clock, I dont use daydream or anything like that.
Do we all use the orb to charge though? Is that something we all seem to have in common?

Wow, just went through the reddit thread. seems to be a much bigger issue that originally though.
I also edited the title to reflect the orb being the newly suspected cause of the problem - not hangouts as originally thought.
I also found a link to a google group through the reddit thread, so I posted in that to complete the triangle. LOL. Hopefully someone comes up with a solution.

Should also mention on here that my wifes charges her Nexus 4 wirelessly with an LG WCP-300. I charge with the Nexus orb. She does not have the problems.

It's not the orb charger. I've been getting the same issue, but I use the N4 cable charger. Timely alarm clock still goes off, but there's a FC message when I go to my phone. Reset fixes it for the day. UK based, CM10.2 M1 + latest goo.im gapps. Also, I have a weird issue where the screen keeps turning back on when I lock it. Just keeps the lock screen permanently on when I'm charging in the morning.

I dont think the problem is related to the orb or wireless charger. Two people just post about the problem and they are using wired charging.
Everybody had to change the time before the problem start (summer time, DTS, whatever)? i'm suspicious that android is not handling this changes.
Anybody knows if android has a log with the errors? Maybe we can found some tip.
has anyone had the problem and NOT charged overnight?
Its possible that this occus overnight because the DST change usually occurs at 2am so if the glitch happens at 2am most of us dont see it until we get up.
Im going to disable the automatic network time & automatic time zone settings tonight - see what happens tomorrow morning.

I like this idea, but for me, the issue started the morning before the daylight savings rollback.
I used my wired charger last night and didn't have the issue this AM, but will be trying my orb again tonight.
Hi guys, first of all, I came from miui 11.0.6.0 global stable rom and rooted with magisk. I update my note 7 to android 10 global stable version which release recently via "choose update package" in the setting. Everything works perfectly until I boot it up and got "System UI error" pop-up. After clicking wait, the UI restarted but its getting worst. Everything I did even locking the screen was sluggish. So in the end I change back to my original rom and unfortunately, my phone lags too but no error pops up. Trying to clear cache and even clearing the system via orangefox and reinstall the OS but it still lag. Wonder if anyone have the same issue and has solved it?

Stuck on dark mode
I successfully installed the Android 10 OTA update on my Redmi Note7 about two hours ago, however, my phone has been stuck on dark mode ever since.
The toggle isn't activated from quick settings, neither is it switched on from the display settings. This is happening despite my battery being at 68%. It only disable dark mode when I plug it in power outlet.
Please, who knows how I could fix this? I like dark mode but not during the day or in a well lit environment.
I've tried downloading the Themes for Telegram app, using the security app to scan as I read somewhere, heading into developer settings to make sure that dark theme isn't enabled, rebooted my phones a couple of days ago times, with and without charger charger plugged in. I should note that my status bar has been acting weird since I updated to MIUI 11 in January, like showing black icons and text on black background, and vice versa. And the battery icon not reflecting the actual battery status.
Someone help, please. This is getting to my nerves already. ??

I've resorted to doing that, but I have to first find a way to backup my app data. My concern, however, is that being that I don't have OrangeFox/TWRP already flashed and rooted, doing that now might lock me out, as I've read comments, on custom recovery threads, that flashing a custom recovery triggers password/PIN request, and formatting data is the only way past it.
My decision not to modify the phone is hitting me hard, now.
Fixed!
I only charge my battery fully every now and then. I don't usually leave it plugged in up to 90% even. Well, I decided to do that, yesterday—to fully charge it. And voila! At 90%, a notification came in that said something along the line of: 90% charged – features enabled (unrestricted)
The notification came from "Battery Saver" but not MIUI. Seems to be fragments of AOSP, can't say for certain, but when I tapped on the notification, it just opened a blank (white) screen. And trying to open the app info reveals it as the "Settings" app.
I had the hunch that it could be caused by remnants of AOSP—one of the first things I tried was use Nova launcher's activities shortcut to see if I could get an activity that points to AOSP battery saver. Then I also used "Hidden Settings For MIUI" to run advanced search for "battery" and "saver", but got no result.
I'll monitor to see if it would come back, in which case I'd try to clear settings app data, and hope that it'd get rid of it entirely.
MIUI 11 based on Android 10 has really got the phone performing nicely again, something MIUI 11 pie update wrecked. The update before this one, MIUI 11.0.6.0, was the worst OEM update I've ever had since I started using Android back in 2012. Just horrible performance, considering the specs of the phone.
