[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] CrimsonSylvr:
Thanks for the quick and simple answer, worked great!

I'm now running the latest CM9 Nightly without problems :)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] vulpy:
Issue: \data partititon become corrupt for no obvious reason.

Manifests itself through: Freezes followed eventually by (endless) reboots

When: Randomly when you install new apps (may be every day as it can happen only every other week/month), or setting up apps (like Twitter, mail, etc)

Temporary solution: Re-flash Samsung FW but lose ALL YOUR DATA. Attention: CWM restore will not fix the problem!

---- Here goes a link to the fabulous mskip's tutorial, you will find here everything you need to get it back up temporarily

I experienced this in 401, 402, 403 and 404, some were expecting better data integrity in 404... I confirm this is not the case :(

I would not go as far as saying that this is 100% the reason, but it looks like the NAND quality is craaaaaap! There is no external SD card, Android should be able to do a perfect job now at handling info and preserving quality of data.

I will contact Samsung and ask for a refund (if at all possible)... Disgusting thing to put such a piece of s''t on the market without proper testing and call it "flagship/pure Google experience". This is not an isolated issue, it happens to at least half of the people around and the others may have not seen it yet (it all depends on how often you manipulate data on the phone)...

Any advice, I am inetersted, have tried pretty much everything so far and did not solve the problem...

DO YOU HAVE THE SAME ISSUE? Let your voice heard...
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] David Horn:
No. Could it be possible you're overreacting?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Tito2007:
Agree as well ..seems more like rubbish
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] vulpy:
Thanks David, you're of great help :/

Overreacting? Glad you had a better sample, I bet you would "overreact" as well if you spent 500£ on a piece of junk losing all you data on a daily basis.

But hey, this is not happening to you, right ?

Community means lots of people, some are here to help, others just looking for a social life while trolling on this forum.

Sorry mate, I am trying to get through to the first category...
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] KWKSLVR:
Umm, sounds like you need a replacement phone.

Deep breath....deep breath. ;)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] vulpy:
Right :) While i'm catching my breath, found another thread pointing to the same issue IMHO (didn't not see it initially):

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1490815

Attempting to contact Samsung already...
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] David Horn:
Your first post came across as a hysterical rant - this is the first I've heard of the problem so it's not affecting many phones, and ultimately Samsung are going to have the occasional dodgy NAND chip. Sounds like you got one.

If you'd had several phones and they'd all exhibited this problem you'd be right to be peeved, but it simply sounds like you've been unlucky and are pissed off about it. Have you even discussed it with Samsung's tech support or taken it back to the shop you bought it from?

And accusing an XDA recognised developer of trolling is not a great start to your time here.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Tornlogic:
I've not heard of other people having this problem with the Gnex? Who are these other people having this same problem? Maybe speak with them and see if a replacement phone might solve the problem. I really hope you can get this fixed and not give up on such a great platform.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] adrynalyne:
The burden of evidence is on you bro. That is a pretty bold claim.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] vulpy:
Respect for your dev background (haven't used any of your ROMs yet), in all fairness I'm far less impressed with your communication skills... I must agree though, my message may have come across as too abrupt and you're right again, I am going to sort it out with Samsung...

Did not mean to get people horrified, rather to blow the whistle on a worrying and annoying bug and smth people may consider if they come across or consider a purchase.

For having worked in the mobile comm semiconductors space for years, I know just what sets apart a serious company from a me-too profile. Surprised to see Samsung having this king of issues. Normally they are ironed out easily though SW regression tests and HW stress processes (at least at serious OEMs).

I will let one of the moderators judge if my crime is so serious, your ego will survive, I'm sure ;) I will come back when/if issue solved (or in good progress).
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] killyouridols:
yeah, mine is fine. If it was a widespread problem I would back your corner, but I seems rather isolated. Rather then cause mass hysteria I would say you need to return your handset
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Remoteconcern:
This happened to mine. But only once.

Quite frustrating, as my phone is my alarm clock and it was bootlooping when I needed to go to sleep!

However, a reflash of the 4.0.2 stock images sorted it out, and no problems since. I'm pretty sure I caused it by pulling out the battery at some sensitive point in a reboot or something.

If this happens to you frequently, then you need to exchange your phone.

Also, I think this could be a pretty good resource as opposed to a rant if you put your mind to it. I'm not a developer, but I'm also not a total n00b, and it took me a little while to figure out how to fix the problem, when I had it. I'm sure there are people out there who would appreciate a guide.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] zeekiz:
In this thread, op is going through that time of the month, when was his own modification back fires in his face, his explosive emotions reek havoc on an online forum.

If you want to see a device with bad nand memory, see the HTC Desire S forum :-).

Also the reboots and freezes I used to experience on my device were application related. Device hasn't frozen, nor rebooted in about *looks at up time* .. 27 days :-).
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] vulpy:
... I was actually referring to a poll in another thread (link in this thread) concluding that half of the people who answered have experienced freezes and reboots... it may be biased somewhat by the fact that people who experienced the issue are more likely to vote than those who didn't... maybe an overstatement from me.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] daern:
Get the odd reboot (Chrome seems to provoke, strangely) but zero data corruption in 3+ months of heavy use. (4.0.3 AOKP)

Sorry, no endemic fault that I can see here (from reading these forums) and if I were you I'd be looking for a warranty replacement. Refund will depend on your location and supplier and duration of ownership.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] player911:
First I heard about this too. I've flashed tons of roms and mods and constantly installing uninstalling apps.

The GNex has been anything but non-stable. I think I've had to pull the battery once or twice since ownership. Never heard anyone complain about randomly losing all their data... especially not daily. Perhaps on a bad flash in CWM.

Maybe you should look into a super wipe that completely erases everything, deletes the partition tables and recreates everything from scratch. Maybe it'll help but it honestly sounds defective.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] vulpy:
Thanks Player911... Interesting idea, was thinking as well to do a total wipe and sort of a sector-by-sector reformat, but could not find a way of doing it. Is there any tool that would allow me to do it? Maybe this will isolate bad sectors...
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] vulpy:
Will check shortly with Samsung folks, thanks mate! (what slows me down is the fact that I'm currently travelling to the US and the guarantee is only European and it's Sunday= hotline is closed in Europe).
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] jonathan3579:
Uhh, I don't believe my reboots are due to this. Just saying. That whole thread does not point to your theory as the issue. :rolleyes: I'm gonna go ahead and call this myth busted and suggest you go get a replacement because this is just another extremist "my phone is busted but I refuse to get a new one" thread.

[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] leepcharge:
I can't really say much about stock since ics isn't out yet for i9020, but I definitely prefer custom gingerbread over custom ics. OXYGEN has been fast and rock stable for me, whereas all the ics roms I've tried have given me short battery life and many crashes.

I definitely prefer the appearance and functions of ics though :)

[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] migz012788:
what base versiom should i use? Wat gingerbread version
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] alexfiorani:
thats easy

ICS without any doubt. The phone feels a lot faster, my battery life is better in ICS then in GB, ICS is polished and beautiful, some new apps only work on android 4.0, the new OS has some good built in functions, like 3G data monitor, you can now make panoramas without a 3rd app, etc.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kwantran:
If looking at stock roms, then ICS for sure. Much more efficient usage of RAM, multi-tasking which allows me to close out apps I have open. It looks clean and nice color scheme. Also Holo (font) is freaking awesome. The new ICS widgets are also nice. Calendar and gmail have been improved.

I haven't played around with the various ICS ROMs yet to compare those.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rasengan82:
GB. ICS is slow opening apps. Also the transitions look more polished but at the expense of snappiness. I flashed back to GB stock to do some things on the phone and I am noticing how fast GB is.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Oogway13:
I would say ICS (not stock). Currently running nuhetri v3.0.1 with AirKernel with voodoo colors and I definitely like it more than GB. No problems with this ROM and it has a great performance and battery life.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] keb00:
But the question is about the stock roms, not the customs roms....:(

For me is GB, is more faster and don´t have so many lag...;)
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ljordan2:
It's kind of weird that a lot of people are saying that GB is a lot faster than ICS. At least on my experience, ICS is much more fast and smooth compared to GB.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] keb00:

Hello!!!

I have a big problem with my omnia 7

From one moment to the other I have no sound: no ring tone, no alarm...

All the rest works ok.

I allready tryed severall roms stock and cooked and the problem remains.

Any sugestion?

Anyone have the stock rom for swiss orange?

Thanks
[Omnia 7 General] yigitu:
I am having the sma problem with my omnia 7. All of a sudden I lost the ring, message, alarm sounds. Other than that the phone is working normally. And also if I plug in a headset, i can hear the sound fine.

When I searched the internet some of the options for this problem are:

1. Headphone slot could be stuck somehow and so the phone thinks there is a headphone attached. Solution is to try to plug in and out a headphone jack in to the slot several times to try to loosen the slot. Didnt work for me.

2. I read in one post that a hard reset solved the problem. Didnt tried it yet, I dont want to setup the phone from the scratch. That will be my last option.

3. Somewhere I read about people going in to the diagnostic mode and adjust some audio properties like audio gain, speaker output vs. I am not sure if that will solve the problem.

4. Some suggest to send the phone to samsung for a repair. That is not an option for me, as omnia 7 is not officially sold in my country (Turkey) so there is no support for it.

I am still searching the internet for a solution, and will appreciate if anyone can up with one.

Thanks
[Omnia 7 General] yigitu:
Problem solved

I found a solution for this problem and posted it in another similar post. I am writing the same information here.

I was playing with some diagnostic codes from a website I found on the internet, I noticed there is a "Melody Test\Test External and Internal Speaker" which you can access by typing *#0289# while inside the diagnostic mode. While inside this melody test application I pressed the option 1. Speaker [L-R] ON and option 2. Receiver ON. I dont know which option did it but suddenly a ring tone started coming from the speaker.

I closed the diagnostic app and return to the main menu and now my ringtones, game sounds start working. Hopefully this will be a real solution not a temporary one.

Note:if it not listed in the app list, to get in to the diagnostic mode press ##634# from the phone pad.

Also note: I tried to post the link of the page which contains all the diagnostic codes of omnia but the xda forum would not allow me to post a link outside because I am a new user. The page i found was on wp7forum website
[Omnia 7 General] pipoka:
Thank you. Im gonna try.
[Omnia 7 General] pipoka:
Well...I tried your sugestions and only the 3rd worked. (after typing *#0289#, 2. Receiver ON)

But I have sound just until a new resart, then sound is gonne!!!

and with you?
[Omnia 7 General] yigitu:
You are right, after the restart the sound is gone for me too.

And also as "mrtnz" in an other similar thread (http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1546374) mentioned, probably this solution does not exactly activate the speaker on the back but re-routes all music and such to the front speaker ("ear piece")

I though this might be the solution, but apparently not.

Need help .... After i have discharged my Omnia 7 , All Sounds are gone , my mic is not working too !!!!

Any hint what it could be ?
[Omnia 7 General] warrenNZ:
Speaker fine - but no sound ?

Likewise ; my Omnia 7 does not give out a ring tone/sound.

I took it in to get a new speaker ; but when fitted, problem remains.

I can hear sound with earphones - but nothing externally -

I was told if I download an update ; it may fix the problem ?

The only theory the shop could give was that I had began an update when the battery was about flat ;

and somehow this may deactivate the external speaker/sound.

Thanks for the suggestion 'junior' - will try that ; however it seems apparently that was not a permanent fix.

As I am basically tecnicall challenged/OLD :( .... any easy/detailed instruction on how to get the ring-tones/sound back/on

would be appreciated.
