me too ,,, a got the same thing ,,,,, first time is good ,,the second booting after restart ,,,, getting freze after 3s :crying:
[Galaxy Tab 8.9 General] fred_be9300:
Hey,

Not very clear... you mean you have a freeze on FC? Perhaps tested with Fast Force Close?

Did you flash the zip from post #8 above? It should fix this :)

BTW, if anyone used the "enable fix" from Fast Force Close, you must disable it again, before running my zip.
[Galaxy Tab 8.9 General] cebonk:
After booting I saw my homescreen ... and then freze . Just that ...

Ok I will try it ...

btw what different FFC and FREZE? .... I dont get it .
[Galaxy Tab 8.9 General] mikandlotta:
I was running fine until I installed an app )Polycom RealPresence) then, on opening the app, the system froze. Power off came to an unknown system boot screen, long power off rebooted then system would refreeze about 5 seconds after the opening lock screen appeared.

I will try fred-fix-free-on-fc file and get back!
[Galaxy Tab 8.9 General] fred_be9300:
FC = force close. When an app has an unrecoverable error, it just dies

FFC = an application (fast force close) which attempts to solve some problems in Samsung Roms regarding FC. It also allows to trigger an FC

Freeze = situation where software (system, or just one app) does not respond to any input (touch), nor produces new output
[Galaxy Tab 8.9 General] cebonk:
it still didnt work on me ,, still got Freeze and FFC :(

im using v2 ,,,,
[Galaxy Tab 8.9 General] fred_be9300:
Cebonk, I have not understood what problem you have, what you've installed or tried, etc. If you can explain those, then maybe....

By the way, this is not a miracle solution to every freeze situation, only solves freezes caused by force close in recent samsung ICS Rom (the ones ported by kallt_kaffe, and derivatives)
[Galaxy Tab 8.9 General] Hallucinogen775:
nice work, fred, this works for me. the crash test in FFC runs properly. only the ANR test doesnt seem to work, after 3 seconds nothing happens. at least it doesn't hard-freeze anymore, so i can get out of the situation by pressing back or home repeatedly.

your work is much appreciated! the hard-freeze situations were really annoying.
[Galaxy Tab 8.9 General] kozec:
Thanks for posting this, works perfectly on my device. May you and your thread have it's place back in DEV section :p
[Galaxy Tab 8.9 General] fred_be9300:
thanks both for reporting success

Not too many seem to have picked up on this - they are all focused on trying to solve battery problems in the ICS. I'm lucky not to have those.
[Galaxy Tab 8.9 General] kozec:
I just had another system freeze caused by same bug, but not triggered by force close message. It was "application doesn't respond" instead. I tried to apply same fix to /data/anr/traces.txt with partial success - Doesn't respond message doesn't show and app stays frozen, but I'm able to use taskmanager (long press home button to bring it up) to kill it.

// edit:

I have to correct myself, this actually works only if I'm fast enough, after few seconds system freezes as usual and has to be rebooted.

// edit #2

... becose something re-created traces.txt with original permissions. After chmoding entire /data/anr to 755 (only root can change anything there) I'm able to kill freezed apps again (no "doesn't respond" message thought.)

I played around with the One X and the GSIII before deciding on the latter, but one thing I really liked about the One X was the native calculator widgets. Is anybody able to port these widgets to be usable on the SIII? None of the ones on the market are nearly as sleek.
[Galaxy S III Themes and Apps] djide:
That would would be great especially coming from a HTC phone I miss it badly. Very handy when splitting the check. But native widgets on HTC phones are hardwired with libs and need the htc sense UI. So I doubt if it would ever be ported to another UI without sense UI.

[General Questions and Answers] ad4ms3:
I rooted my htc one x. It is the second phone I have rooted so far. Everything went smoothly. Then I installed Android Revolution HD, but I couldn't get suite tools to work so I decided to restore original rom which has been backed up earlier on. When I did that (using CWM) phone is keep on restarting. I searched forum and google and I found out it could be a invalid boot.img file (I thought that when I restore original rom, original boot.img file will be restored too). Luckly I copied all backup folder which contains boot.img onto the hard disk of my pc. Command fastboot flash boot.img didnt work.. I noticed that adb devices command does not recognise my htc. I reinstalled drivers (they are fine, no error in device manager) and pc recognises my phone but adb devices no! I'd like to ask how to make adb devices work again and how to install original boot.img from backup folder to stop htc restarting after restoring the system?

I'm pretty sure it all depends from boot.img file cause when I have reinstalled AR HD phone works perfectly fine.. I just don't know how to install original boot.img which is even more frustrating cause I replaced it with that needed for AR HD. Thank you in advance.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] GIBbeerSKY:
Hello everyone!

Today I've activated the mobile data plan, but H+ is draining lots of battery. I've heard that the code *#301279# can disable highly power consuming HSPA, and force to use slower but more battery friendly UMTS (3G). And the problem - after entering this code in dialer nothing happens.

I'm on XEO XXLQB (ICS 4.0.4) stock Samsung firmware, rooted and on SpeedMod K3-31 kernel. What can be wrong? The system app "Service mode" is not disabled. Some other codes are working, but this one - not :(
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] VanillaCracker:
I wouldn't suggest using the codes to do things with your phone. I hear that you can change Fast Dormancy from Off to On (It did not seem to do anything on my phone), but that is not just 4G to 3G or 3G to 4G. There should most definitely be a third party app (or widget) that allows you to adjust 3G and H+ from stock rom. I've seen them before. I don't use stock (so I always have an option to change to 3G if I want, but I know that you can finda third party app (or widget) to do so. You're welcome
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jokesy:
Try the following:

- Dial *#*#4636#*#*

-Select phone information

-Under select network type, choose WCDMA only

Problem solved!

Let me know what happens

Swyped from my Samsung Galaxy SII
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] GIBbeerSKY:
After changing it to "WCDMA only" phone sticks to HSPAP only, when the signal is very low it disconnects from network and doesn't "go lower" to 3G/EDGE.

I want to lock phone in GPRS/EDGE/3G and completely disable HSDPA etc.

Method using *#301279# was great, I've checked few hours ago under Android 2.3.x and it worked on it, but on ICS code's not working.

Guys, I am desperate.

I badly need a good video player with playlist support and shuffle

I have one of those cheap Chinese ICS tablets (btw working pretty good) and I planned to use it in my car to let my 17 month old daughter watch some videos I got from YouTube while driving home from our vacation. That is a 7 hours drive and she won't handle it without some entertainment. However I cannot find a suitable app, paid or free

I got so far

- Act Player.. does the job but only on Gingerbread (I have a GB Galaxy S phone). On ICS the playlist feature does not work

- Vplayer - does not support shuffle and after 4th or 5th video starts to stutter

- Mobo player - does the job but does not support shuffle and the little monster is getting tired of the first 10 vids she has to watch all over again every day

Any clue will be greatly appreciated. The vids are mp4 SD so the tablet doesn't have any problems playing those,

Thanks

[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] scythekain:
So, just a heads up guys (and gals); it looks like ATT blocked my device (reported it stolen) and now I'm locked out of the wireless network.

I still need to call them to see if I can resolve this issue, but it happened after I flashed the latest nightly CM10 and was running it all weekend with no problems, wake up this morning and I can't text, get no data. Try making a call and it states; "This device has been blocked". After using Google, that message is one that happens when a device is reported stolen.

Since I've had this device for it's entire life, there is no chance someone else reported it stolen.

I'll keep this thread updated with what ATT does, if they re-enable my device, etc.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RootTheMachine:
Somebody else had this happen to them on CM10, and it was because their IMEI became generic overnight. You can read about it in the Helly Bean thread.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] scythekain:
Huh. How does it overwrite the IMEI on it's own?

I did have a backup of my IMEI from last october (the entire EFS folder) I used ES File explorer to copy it over... But forgot to fix permissions... SLAP forehead.

(Fixed Permissions)

Now I'm back on ATT, guess it wasn't there fault.

:cyclops:
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] scythekain:
So after reading the other thread, I have to wonder if changing /System to RO mode (via SGS Toolbox) will prevent the EFS folder from being overwritten again? Or am I going to run into this again? The problem seems pretty clear, the EFS folder for some reason has R/W privileges, when it should be RO.

The second part of the equation, is _what_ in JB is deleting that folder?
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wilson735:
This same exact thing happened to me, but I'm on CM9 Stable... Still trying to figure out why my IMEI is the generic one...
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] stayintwisted:
I had this happen to me also,,and when I called att customer service they told me that the emei belonged to an iphone that was stolen,,in my case this actually happened three times,,I finally flashed back to stock to reset the emei and it seems to be holding,, I was running helly bean v24 and had been on the rom for a day or something ( well since that version came out ) in fact I have two captivate handsets and one was on v23 and they both switched the emei to the same one,,I have no idea what caused the emei to change but it sure caused some hair pulling on my part lol,, all seems well now
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] millerklj:
Same here, but on CM 7.2.0 RC2. I'm not sure if the IMEI just now changed or if it was this way since I flashed CM and AT&T is now cracking down.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] scythekain:
The above posts, kind of confirm what I'm sensing is ATT doing something that flashed a stolen IMEI onto rooted android devices.

1) What was the timing of your problem? - For me this happened yesterday morning, or Sunday night after 9 PM PST. I restored my IMEI about 9 AM, and the service restored itself around 13:32 8/20/2012 PST

2) It makes me wonder IS this the custom ROM that changed the IMEI to a stolen iPhone? Why would the ROM choose an iPHONE IMEI? I think this was pushed by ATT. Was it a mistake or was it intentional? Proof? CM 7.2, CM9, CM10 and HellyBean (which is based on CM10 with custom kernel, partitioning). ALL of them set the IMEI to the stolen iPhone THIS last weekend though?

For those of you still needing to restore your IMEI and you don't have a backup, use this thread;

EDIT:

You can also flash back to stock via ODIN to restore your IMEI.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] scythekain:
So it looks like the CM10 flash I did Saturday did muck up my IMEI. I was logging into the Google Play store to try and restore my apps from the web, and found out I have two captivates registered.

One with the correct IMEI, the other with this bogus IMEI:

IMEI: **********640000
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wilson735:
Here's the whole story:

On Sunday, in the course of 5 hours: 3 times AT&T blocked my device, I called them and got in unblocked. In one of those times, the guy says that the system logs say that my sim card was in an iPhone 3gs that was reported stolen. They also credit me with $25 for each of the 1st 2 times I called.

Anyway, on the 3rd time I ask to speak to a floor supervisor. She is able to tell me that because my phone is reporting an IMEI of a stolen phone, she'll forward it to the Stolen Devices team/department, and that they would get back to me on Tuesday. She can unblock it again on the spot, but eventually it'll get read by the system and blocked again.

I confirm with her that the IMEI that my phone software is showing is the Generic one (004999010640000), and not my actual one that I read to her from underneath the battery.

I was reading through the forums all day on Monday and came to the following conclusions:

1) That Generic IMEI may be what a ROM is mistakenly putting in place, it must use this as a failsafe of some sort, so it can have an IMEI, any IMEI. In reality it should be reading the hardware's IMEI.

2) Our IMEI's did not necessarily get changed this weekend. Last time I flashed, it was when CM9 Stable was released, and that was a couple of weeks ago. So, we may have had this IMEI for weeks, if not months. I know I may have. 1 month ago, my phone got blocked. They said that someone reported it stolen. I called, got my $25 credit, and the service reinstated. I may have had that Generic IMEI at the time.

Last night a technician from the Stolen Devices team instructed me to remove my SIM card from the device for 24 hours so that the network can refresh the IMEI (his exact words, I don't know exactly how the network works, but...) and that this was necessary. Yes, I could ignore him and put by SIM card back into my Captivate, but eventually it would get blocked again. So leave it out of the Cappy, he said, use it in any other device, and after 24 hours you can slip it back in. He said that recently (in the past day or two), many users had been calling about the same problem.

Anyway, just to be on the safe side, I'll be following fohdeesha's instructions here:

http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=30563493&postcount=1780

Flashing back to stock 2.3.5, and seeing if I can get the correct IMEI. If so, I'll backup that EFS folder in 10 different places, revert back to ICS or JB, and if the IMEI is messed up there, I'll restore my EFS backup.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] scythekain:
Good information. I've restored my EFS from a backup I made last october when I first rooted and flashed CM7.

Not sure what leaving the SIM out does? Does it correct the IMEI folder on it's own?
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] peaceburn:
Sooo, I ended up having this situation for first time last night.

What I did was:

1) One click kk4 stock

2) Flash Devil's kernel to get CWM

3) Flash Helly Bean 8/13.

4) Flash ugjk4 modem.

Bam wrong IMEI.

Did the whole thing again, this time using ugjk3 modem - bad IMEI again.

Then I just copied back my efs folder, chown to radio:radio, chmod to 0700 and reboot - IMEI got fixed.

What is really shady is when is this happening? After the initial devil kernel flash? Or the initial helly bean flash when it does the partitions and reboots you back into recovery?
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fohdeesha:
Leaving the SIM card out cannot change, reset, or fix your imei, it can't effect it at all.

Leaving the sim card out simply blocks your phone from being able to "phone home" to att, and report the incorrect imei to att. Because when att sees this, that is when they block your device.

This is why I suggested in other posts that when you are flashing a new rom, leave your sim card out. This way if the rom flash does reset your imei, you can repair it and THEN put your sim card back in, without the phone automatically phoning home to att with the wrong imei right off the bat and getting your phone blocked
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Nickle60:
Ok I have a quick question. I copied my entire EFS folder and copied it into my external SD card. Do I need to do anything else to back it up? I have the correct IMEI and want to make sure it stays that way. I noticed one person mentioned the need to fix permissions. Is that all I need to do. Thanks.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 4-2ndtwin:
I would make a copy and put it on ur computer as well.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rickneworleansla:
Has this been figured out yet? Anyone have any idea why this is happening to some people and not others? What's the common factor here? After several initial failed flash attempts I went from one click froyo, to several cm9 nightlys, to hellybean 8/13 , to cm10 nightly 8/18, to cm10 nightly 8/22. So far I've had zero imei issues. My number still matches the back of the phone. Is this something att is sending out, an app, or one of the ROMs being flashed? I just checked and the permissions for my efs folder are set to rwx r-x r-x. It may help if everyone lists their history.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] scythekain:
1) I used one click root, to root my phone back in October, then backed up my EFS.

2) Odin CM7 CWM.

3) Flashed CM 7.1 stable, got fed up with the /datadata limitation pretty quickly. Tried Miui. (had same problem)

4) November, flashed last available nightly for CM 7.1 (till march of this year) this change the structure of /datadata to have about 400 Megs and to warn when it's getting full.

5) January, started flashing nightly kangs weekly.

6) Mid March, flashed CNA 4.0.3 - Horribly laggy.

7) Flashed AOKP, CM9 nightlies etc. Ended up sticking with CM9 nightlies.

8) 8.18 flashed CM9 nightly.

9) 8.18 flashed UXKH2 modem (awesome voice quality)

10) 8.20 no wireless data/signal - device blocked.

According to the Google Play store, the incorrect IMEI was registered on Monday. Which means something deleted it Sunday night Monday morning while I was sleeping.
