When I dial particular numbers my phone application crashes, I see black screen but call is still going on I can hear and talk to other end. after few seconds screen shows force close message. as soon as I force close I loose network and it takes 2-3 mins to connect back to network. During this 2-3 mins if I dial to my number from other phone, i hear ring going but dont see anything on my phone .. any idea what can be the problem?

Kernal: 2.6.35.7-I9000DDJV9-CL312456 (root@SE-S605 #2)

I want to start messing around a bit more with roms and stuff (I have, but I didn't really understand what I was doing and was just following a guide)

However I'm concerned about bricking, and wanted to set some stuff straight:

As long as I don't mess with bootloaders, is there anything else that's dangerous that could mess my phone up? I know Odin is risky, so I'll try sticking to CWM. Something else that's notable? Right now I'm reluctant to pretty much do anything involving root, ever since I tried to install TW 4.5 and bootlooped.

Also how often do stuff like this actually happen? I mean, I see people on forums complaining of problems plenty, but then again - usually people won't mention it if it works properly.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] f3n0m3no:
Beside bootloaders,nothing can stop you. But you will have to flash the base through odin(stock samsung firmware). You cant brick your phone with cwm,it s impossible. Also if you download the stock firmwares from www.samfirmware.com you have nothing to worry about.Bootlooping happens when you install something which doesnt match for you and thats because people arent reading all the.instructions.

i think galaxy s has achieved the highest quality dev support. unless we get the ice cream sandwich android.

cm7 is faster,but not necesarelly better. it has reduced battery life,no .avi playback and no touchwiz applications which i found better than google's(my files,music player,touch calc,etc.)

you should temporary disable the dsifix module, because it will make the phone can not suspend mode when the fix is working after some time. To turn off it, just rename the file “dsifix.ko” to “dsifix.ko.1″ in folder “/system/lib/module/”.

not 100% guarranted since i have galaxy s, not defy.

4. run odin as administrator

I try my luck here.

I wanted to flash Cyanogen Mod on my I9000.

I came from DarkyRom 10.2.2 with JVQ, wiped everything down, formatted system/data/cache, wiped dalvik cache, battery stats and so on.

Then I flashed cm_galaxysmtd_full-127.zip which has been released today over Recovery menue. It's the nightly type as you may know. The installing process was very short, the phone started to boot and it looped all the time, with the cyanogen Bootscreen.

For a better understanding:

1. normal Galaxy S Bootscreen

2. cyanogen Bootscreen

3. some code (like in recovery menu) crossing the screen

4. loop baack to No. 1

I pulled out the battery and booted in Download-Mode. Works fine. Flashed ezBase with Froyo and CWM to try it again.

tried to install the cyanogen zip via recovery menue... same as before.
