I also have this problem, including with stock JVH.

I have tried a lot, including:

Flashing a different lower firmware and upgrading through Kies.

Doing full reflashes though Odin.

Uninstalling all apps and reinstalling one by one (but the problem has been impossible to pinpoint

Taking all contacts of my Exchange account, going through them one by one, exporting them and reimporting them to fix any issue with those.

Clearing all caches, etc

Nothing has helped so I finally just installed another dialer from the market and with this there have been no problems. It's very annoying though because I like the stock apps.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] marwan91:
Try searching for phone.apk for jvh an then replace it on system/app by using root explorer or other file manager

U could also download another dialer like (Go Dialer) but when u search at the market search Go Contacts it will install dialer with contacts list.. after that-(optional) go to system/app change phone.apk for phone.apk.bak.. this will delete the phone but u will keep it saved on system/app when u want it back just rename it phone.apk

flash 3 file js8 repartition pit / factory reset from cwm / flash jvq + you might want to factory reset here -> test for fc -> no fc

then you might root or whatever and dicover what breaks it
[Galaxy S I9000 General] dj_aleks:
I´m not following? are you suggesting that i reflash the phone with a new rom? i like the stock one so that doesn´t do it for me..
[Galaxy S I9000 General] $omator:
youve got some mess on system partition that is resulting in phone aplication fatal errors that closes it (btw can you copypaste logcat part when this app fails)

aside there might be other modules not working as suposed that you are not noticing because they do not force close but they can for example make some proceses not go into idle = more battery consumed idk there might be a milion things that are going wrong due this incompatybility

by this flash order i suggest you to revert to froyo and do a factory reset there (because ive noticed myself tons of times factory reset failing on all gb releases and never on froyo - must be some gb/ or maybe rooting issue) and ive noticed new files not beeing copied on fresh fw instalation because of that all that on gb and never while upgrading from froyo

what i am proposing here is flash order that is always working for me and ive developed it after countles hours of reflashes - and hey i never had any drain any force close problems =)

thats just friendly xda advice - make it or not i do not care but i would be happy if that would help you

common issue also is reverting backup files from previous system version to current one (people restore system files from eg jve to jvq and are amazed that their phone forcloses on most apps or somrthing) you can not use some system files backup from previous on current firmware
[Galaxy S I9000 General] dj_aleks:
So how do i do this then? bare in mind that i´ve never flashed a phone...ever :D
[Galaxy S I9000 General] $omator:
just a second, i will find youa nice tutorial =) refresh after like 10 minutes ;]]]
[Galaxy S I9000 General] dj_aleks:
Thanks a billion!!
[Galaxy S I9000 General] sinancetinkaya:
My advise,

Flash the original stock rom you want, (not any deodexed rom!)

Flash the kernel you want via odin

Reboot into recovery mode

Do "wipe data/factory reset" and "wipe cache partition"

Don't restore any backup
[Galaxy S I9000 General] $omator:
well thats a nice tutorial for you -> http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1139050

just proceed with those instructions and you should be fine =) good luck!

And this guide will work with a swedish phone?
[Galaxy S I9000 General] $omator:
yes it will work on egyptian one also =) i can see svenska as an input language but not as a swype but ive made a cwm flashable with svenska so we will deal with it later =)
[Galaxy S I9000 General] dj_aleks:
Funny thing, i actually downloaded Go Contacts in order to do a contact backup, but that´s actually a better dialer and call log app than the stock one :D

I´m thinking of maybe keeping this one instead of the stock one for now?
[Galaxy S I9000 General] $omator:
feel free to do that =)
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Stile35:
Did you solve this crashing problem?
[Galaxy S I9000 General] dj_aleks:
No, i changed the dialer to Go Contacts
[Galaxy S I9000 General] sinancetinkaya:
The person requested a help is not me
[Galaxy S I9000 General] $omator:
orly? have you spoted that the tutorial shows step by step what to do (with backup and so)

while you just pointed few steps that means nothin to unexperienced user
[Galaxy S I9000 General] sinancetinkaya:
in that message, seemed to me that you were speaking to me, not to him.

Nevermind, no problem.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] penfold:
i have a similar problem for the last couple of weeks.

80% of the time i try to make a call, the call just does not go through and the phone just closes to the lock screen, no crash.

stock JVP +cf-root.

Coming from 2.2.1, I did restore [contacts/calls]contacts storage in titanium, but that is a data storage file surely, not a system file.

I kept thinking it is a network problem but now am having doubts ....although i do stil think it is a network problem.

will try using an other dialer app tomorrow to see if there is any difference, although i hate using 3rd party dialers because they use so much cpu for some reason.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] $omator:
you can try flashing this via cwm -> http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=15642232&postcount=143

some says flashing Phone.apk fixes their FC's

its stock JVQ dialer with a small tweak
[Galaxy S I9000 General] penfold:
ok thanks.

can the auto-rotation be disabled on that?

and will it work on JVP?
[Galaxy S I9000 General] $omator:
yes the latest version supports that - just disable autorotation in menu

and yes jvp = jvq files on phone and dialertab
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Eagle3386:
@ OP: what about using Titanium Backup to backup and then restore the app - but _without_ the data?
[Galaxy S I9000 General] $omator:
you DO NOT use system apps from previous fw
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Eagle3386:
That's true - I meant that he should backup up that app as soon as he flashed the new one (erasing/overwriting the old one) and then restore that new one but without the data, hence everything should be empty and working :)
[Galaxy S I9000 General] penfold:
i have confirmed that it is indeed a network problem, despite them sticking to their story that it is a problem with my phone.

I tried the sim in another phone and got the same problem .....with both phones when making a call i get network error and the dialer shuts off. Strangely it seems to be limited to my sim because others on the same network are not having this problem.

My fix is to turn off the antenna, and then back on again and it works briefly for a couple of calls ......fix until tomorrow that is, when i will be changing to a different service
[Galaxy S I9000 General] tugberk27:
i had that issue too, but i flash f1 sgs2 v6 rom. this rom has no any bug about calling dudes.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] dj_aleks:
Hmm..actually the Go Dialer is extremely slow after a couple of hours, and i´ve got a couple of other FC issues (maps and so forth) so i think i´ll go ahead and flash the phone anyway...

Question though, this version will work on a XEE phone?
[Galaxy S I9000 General] dj_aleks:
Ok,did the flash but now my market isnt working, help!!
[Galaxy S I9000 General] penfold:
well i tried flashing the the zip and after that i got messaging FC on launch and no phone at all ......doing a system restore from a CWM backup now
[Galaxy S I9000 General] $omator:
any of my files caused fc's?

not possible
[Galaxy S I9000 General] penfold:
i flashed the odex version and immediately on boot i got a FC 'messaging.mms' message and the phone app would not launch at all, but no worries, everything fine after the system restore
[Galaxy S I9000 General] $omator:
you do not have JVQ then
[Galaxy S I9000 General] dj_aleks:
Well, got market up and running atleast...but i can´t seem to root the phone using CF-root? am i missing something? it just says failed all the time...

I actually managed to get a BSOD and luckily reflashed the phone after that..

But the root thing´s really annoying.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] $omator:
check my mod first post for root problem solution ...

dudes if after flashing STOCK JVQ APKS with some tiny changes in them

you end up with some drastic errors bootloops fc who knows what else

stop for a while and think - why is it happening while for others it works

you have some unimaginable mess in your system. reflash the phone not the way "i always did and worked"

search the forums for ramads threads

or for the "jvq flashing guide for noobs" -> http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1139050

and just follow the instructions
[Galaxy S I9000 General] dj_aleks:
Yeah, your´e ofcourse right...beeing a bit too quick i guess...

but thanks to you, i now have a perfect phone! :D
[Galaxy S I9000 General] penfold:
no i dont, like i asked a few posts back i have JVP, and u said it's ok to flash your JVQ file
[Galaxy S I9000 General] $omator:
jvp=jvq in files Phone.apk and DialerTabActivity.apk

i know what i am doing
[Galaxy S I9000 General] penfold:
i'm sure you do, but for those of us less knowledgeable who have no idea what exactly that means maybe a little less cryptic explanation would be more helpful, but in any case, thanks for the help
[Galaxy S I9000 General] $omator:
shortly jvq phone & dialer tab files = jvp phone and dialer tab files

so expected result is working phone and dialer tab apk

fcs are indicating that you need a proper firmware reflash not restoring a backup

the link i posted is a very good tutorial how to do it + gives all info how to PROPERLY backup data & stuff

goodluck im unsubscribing
[Galaxy S I9000 General] dj_aleks:
Hey!

The guy´s been extremely helpful in my opinion! try searching a bit if it´s cryptical and i´m more than certain that you´ll manage it...

I did my very first flash, BSOD restore and all of that tricky stuff thanks to this tread, and i´m sure u can too.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] dj_aleks:
Well...been using the phone for some time now, but the problem still exists, even after new rom, factory reset an so forth...just can´t figure this one out!
[Galaxy S I9000 General] $omator:
try my files.

find one proper for your firmware version (jvP, jvQ, jvR)

and ODEX or DEODEXED (if you have in /system/app/ apk files and odex files you are ODEX)

Phone.apk

+ Phone.odex (if you have a ODEX firmware ONLY)

DialerTabActivity.apk

+ DialerTabActivity.odex (if you have a ODEX firmware ONLY)

LogsProvider.apk

+ LogsProvider.odex (if you have a ODEX firmware ONLY)

both only if you are odex and you can not use apk files on deodexed, they are missing classes.dex. you must find proper file

overwrite the files you use, restart phone into recovery and pick fix permissions from advenced menu

if you will have nay trouble pm me
[Galaxy S I9000 General] dj_aleks:
Where can i find them?
[Galaxy S I9000 General] $omator:
ok :P check the /system/app/ any odex files there?

also what firmware version you are using?
[Galaxy S I9000 General] dj_aleks:
the question was more where i could find your files ;)
[Galaxy S I9000 General] $omator:
my signature ...

first post jvr

second is for legacy versions
[Galaxy S I9000 General] $omator:
keep in mind that those files are a bit modified -> for phone and dialertab the landscape mode is enabled and for logs provider the sms/mms are removed from the list.no theming & there is no logsprovider version for jvq.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] dj_aleks:
Ok, seems like the JVQ one isnt working properly though.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] $omator:
worked for me while i was on jvq

i do not make those files for downloads numbers =)

am using all of them by myself on everyday basis (or was as for legacy versions)
[Galaxy S I9000 General] dj_aleks:
Sorry, I was a bit unclear, the link to the jvq one doesnt work :)
[Galaxy S I9000 General] $omator:
there you go buddy =) ive searched my thread a bit =) all jvq mods

http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=15659416&postcount=619

will have to link it in jvq post later
[Galaxy S I9000 General] dj_aleks:
And just to make sure (sorry for my newbie attitude) the odexed ones are the STOCK ones (kinda?) i haven´t deodexed anything on my phone as far as i know...

And it also removes the SMS-list in the call log?
[Galaxy S I9000 General] $omator:
yes stock is odex

no 'cleared call log mod' for jvq
[Galaxy S I9000 General] dj_aleks:
Damn, i was kinda hoping for that one too, it´s damn irritating! :D

i´m guessing installing this is as easy as rebooting and installing an update.zip file?
[Galaxy S I9000 General] $omator:
or just move to jvr =)

yes via cwm
[Galaxy S I9000 General] dj_aleks:
I´ve heard alot of different opinions about JVR, so i´m waiting a bit.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] $omator:
its just updated jvq (front camera picture is mirrored properly, music tags are readed properlu, alarm clock is no longer killed and so on) nothin wrong with it
[Galaxy S I9000 General] dj_aleks:
I see, well, you persuaded me the last time to switch to JVQ so i might just listen to you again =)

Edit: I´m having a bit of an issue now, i get FC on androig MMS, and i can´t type in my pin-code for the sim? i never get the question?

did an update.zip recovery and fix permissions?

edit2: and FC when i enter call settings..
[Galaxy S I9000 General] dj_aleks:
Tried reinstalling, didn´t work =/
[Galaxy S I9000 General] dj_aleks:
Phone isn´t working anymore at all, i don´t get prompted for pin or anything.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] $omator:
your instalation is clearly messed up :)

go on and flash jvr
[Galaxy S I9000 General] dj_aleks:
****...argh..i´m at work man! :D
[Galaxy S I9000 General] $omator:
so factory reset =) try one from cwm, hope it will not screw thing up ;]
[Galaxy S I9000 General] $omator:
uhm and you made clear dalvik cache and cleared apps cache in settings/applications/manage applications ?
[Galaxy S I9000 General] dj_aleks:
Threw in JVR instead...=)
[Galaxy S I9000 General] $omator:
and? boy, girl? :D

It was a beautiful baby boy, 3,5 mins and we´re gonna call him JVR! :D

Has anyone experienced MMS messages being sent again after flashing a rom and restoring messages from backup?

Friends and family told me that I started to send them old MMS's yesterday (fortunately again to the same recipient) and my T-M account says i've already sent 13 of mms (maybe all of I have stored in my phone, i don't use mms a lot).

Please confirm my theory: it's a problem with incompatible MMS storage restored to another ROM with differend kind of message metadata, so the new ROM believed that all MMS are only to be sent. (App used MyBackup Root, migrating from Cronos to SalsaSense with AltMsg)

Please share your similar experiences.

Hi !

Everything is in the title ;)

I'm looking for SE stock apps to use them as replacement for SMS/dialer/contact, because I don't like the ones built in CM6/7. So, is there anyone who have managed to use them with CM7 ? :)

Thanks you in advance :)

BTW : The stock 4 corners launcher would be nice too :p

(Or maybe we should wait for the next x10 mini/pro and get the new rom to butcher it and port it to our phone :/)

I am looking for it too please :)

Can't help you on the stock progs, but, take a look at Go SMS Pro and TouchPal Dialer. I found them way better than both CM and stock dialers/sms

Danny
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] LKnight:
Indeed, Touchpad dialer is fine, even if the fonts are very small :-/

Go Sms seems good too, not totally at my taste, because again of the fonts' size, but it would do the job ;)
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] dindia2:
Well.. small screen - small fonts :)

Have you figured what to do with with the in-call screen? When I use in-call dialpad (to browse throught voice menus) the bottom rows (7890) are hidden ...

I use external keyboard for that..

Any ideas?

Thanks
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] LKnight:
Not a clue :-S, sorry
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] LKnight:
About that, we know now why SE did choose the four corners ui xD ... To gain some place for things like a dialer :-S

[Q] "Wi-Fi sharing" and Wi-Fi sharing manager"? Not needed for normal WiFi usage?

I find these 2 "Wi-Fi sharring" things running usually.

Sometimes they even rank quite highly in battery usage.

But I only use WiFi as a normal client for internet access, never for tethering, so I can stop those "WiFi sharing" processes?

Did Samsung/Android unintentionally mix up the naming of processes?

Has any one else ever seen "Wi-Fi sharing" rank highly in battery usage, even though he/she only uses WiFi for the phone's own internet access?
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AndroidFreud:
I have this exact same problem with the Wi-Fi sharing running in the background & draining my battery completely!! Still haven't switched over completely to this phone yet because of this & really hoping I can find a fix for it.

I've seen this mentioned in other threads but most of them talk about rooting the phone to achieve the solution.

Is there any other option for stock users? I can't believe Samsung would expect everyone to do that!!!

It's driving me insane. The battery is completely dead by the mid day! Thankfully I haven't completely switched over from my trusty Desire HD just yet. But am aching to use the SGS2 if there's an easy fix for this.

Anyone have a solution that doesn't involve rooting the phone?

Big thanks in adavance and apologies if this has been discussed already but all the threads I found only involved rooting.

Cheers,

AndroidFreud.

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] eeebbr:
you can remove it using titanium backup.

these 2 have no effect on the rest of the regular wifi functionality.its for connecting to the pc through WIFI.

they will appear as long as the WIFI is on

you can use titanium back up to back it up and remove them. in case you will need it you can restore it.so theres no harm. try it.

hope that i helped with it

Flashing my firmware to KF3 fixed this for me.

Previously I was on KE7, and had this problem.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] blue265:
I flashed KG1 and this is not an issue at all anymore either. If you don't feel like flashing, you can use Titanium and freeze both the sharing and sharing manager with no side effects from what I can tell. I am assuming wi-fi sharing would be convenient if you could share between two mobile devices using wi-fi but not if its a bug as it was in earlier firmware builds.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] allanon+:
I used Titanium Backup to freeze those 2 apps. Very glad to hear that the KG1 does not have this issue anymore.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] coolfire:
I did the same too. :)
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AndroidFreud:
Apologies, I'm a noob to this. I understood using titanium backup would mean you would have to have root. Is this not correct?

I've only recently got this phone & am on the stock rom. I'd prefer not to root a it would void my warranty.

Is flashing any different? I also have a desire hd & haven't had to deal with any of that. How would I go about it?

Sorry again for all the noob questions. Any help at all would be appreciated.

-AndroidFreud.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] LeWildDroid:
Well, you might lose the warranty if you are not using a tiny jig :D. The point is that you can flash custom roms / kernels, etc as much as you want, and if you brick you phone, just insert the jig and everything goes back to normal. But you will have to flash the stock rom / kernel though. But if you want root (more acces to your device) you can do it without changing f/w or anything else. Is good to have root especially for titanium backup imo. With paid version of this app you can even freeze things you don't use everyday or anything else (e.g. wifi sharing).

(sorry for the bad english, but I hope I was helpful)
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AndroidFreud:
Thanks for the quick reply.

What's a 'tiny jig'? And do you have any link on how to go about flashing? Will also do a quick search on this. Thanks again.

I'm just finding it incredible that Samsung would expect their users to go this route instead of via an update?! Arent any other users experiencing this?

I tried updating through About Phone> Software updates> but it always says connecting and then connection failed so have not been able to see if that works.

Thanks again for all the help.

UPDATE: Ok did a little searching and came across this which answers most my noob questions. Going to try it out.

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AndroidFreud:
Ok so that method earlier mentioned apparently will void the warranty so I'm back to square one again.

So has anyone out there been able to fix this on a stock rom? Anyone who got an official update from samsung that actually fixes it?
