[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fjelsten:
Background:

I updated to JVB though Kies when it became available (code: XEE). Before that I was on Voodoo, but on RFS.

After the update, it ran for some time but suddenly a week or so ago I got quite a number of problems with the phone acting up (not wanting to hang up after calls -the green status bar would remain, I could not even hang up it in the notification area). Generally the phone was also using a lot of RAM.

I thought, let's do a factory reset. When I did this all my user apps did not seem to get deleted although I did get the "New phone" startup sequence. I

Finally, I booted into CWM recovery but trying to do the reset there, I got some errors

Formatting /data…
E:format_volume: rfs format failed on /dev/block/mmblk0p2

Formatting /dbdata…
E:format_volume: rfs format failed on /dev/block/stl10

Deleting Meta Data

E:format_volume: rfs format failed on /dev/block/stl11

When this failed to work a reflashed the firmware (Code: NEE) with repartition and everything and everything was clean. I rooted via CF-Root and restored all users apps + data for these. I also restored some "system" data such as call logs, smses, etc.

After a day I started getting force closes when I used the dialler. I.e. I start typing e.g. "253" and the phone tries to match this against contacts and after 1 sec, I get a force close. OK I thought, maybe I should not have restored system data.

I restored from a Nadroid backup (that had root) and started all over with user apps. I did not touch any system data this time.

I still get the force closes often when I try to find a contact using the key pad.

From aLogCat:

Does anybody have any idea what may be the cause of this?

BTW I use e-mail and Nitrodesk Touchdown to get contacts on my phone.
