Well, the /system partition is by default mounted as read-only... which is what the error "read-only file system" indicates... you need to remount it as read-write before you can do anything there... I believe this should get you through...

$ su
$ mount -o rw,remount -t yaffs2 /dev/block/mtdblock3 /system

[Vibrant General] jblade1000:
Hello everyone, I've got an interesting problem that I want the experts here at XDA to help me troubleshoot. Feel free to ask questions as I know there's probably a million variables at this point with stuff installed, uninstalled, gps, root, task killers, etc.

alrighty with that said, I did the e-wrecked gps fix (changing the operation mode and server location+port). That seems to work great in terms of time to lock on my position as well as improved accuracy. Over the next couple of days I noticed some really choppy and lengthy phone start ups after the fix.

Eventually it got to (and currently is at) a point where it kept rebooting the phone, or at least touchwiz. It would load up, scan media, search for the network, do all the start up stuff, then lock up, and turn the screen off. Hitting the lock button/power button does nothing while it resets itself. Then it resets to the lock screen, the screen lights up and it goes into "searching" for the tmo network while doing the storage preparations, and other boot up stuff. It does not restart from cold (with the vibrant, tmo, and galaxy animations, only the lock screen and OS boot process)

Anyone else got any funky restarts going on, for whatever reason? I basically want to start seeing what would trigger this behavior. I started uninstalling stuff one by one trying to figure out why its doing that but sometimes it boots up fine, sometimes it boots but doesn't ever find tmo's network, and sometimes it just does the above.

Observations:

1. It will always boot up fine if the SIM card is out.

2. The last time it did it was today while I was at work, listening to music while the phone was charging. Im noticing that the phone gets pretty hot while charging and really hot if you're using while its charging (getting apps, surfing the web, playing games, etc)

So any thoughts from the tech gurus here? anyone have similar behavior in the past on other phones? is the heat affecting the sim card negatively? I can (and have) put my simcard back in my treo 680 backup phone with no issues whatsoever.
[Vibrant General] jblade1000:
New observation, it consistently does the reset process as soon as the "Adjust Time and Date" as it registers/syncs with the network.

UPDATE: so, i did some research, ended up at the setCPU thread and saw that when set to OnDemand some people's phones experienced similar tendencies. Problem is, mine was already set to auto-detect and "Conservative". I un-checked start at boot, and tried again. Same problem. I uninstalled setCPU completely and my phone appears to be back to normal.

I'll update again if anything changes.
[Vibrant General] jblade1000:
so one of the things that i removed during my troubleshooting was my corporate exchange account. When i added it back. it did its initial sync fine and gave me my calendar and contacts. I then rebooted and the problem came back.

I removed the account and rebooted. it went through two cycles of the restarts and on the third one, it worked. I left it alone after that.

I then was showing my friend some things (browser differences) and had 3 browsers open. It froze as i went to close Dolphin HD. Rebooted and now its back to the cycle.
[Vibrant General] martin0641:
Mine did this also. Installed several apps, woke up to find a slow phone. Resets galore. A quick reset to defaults and app restore fixed it, sans setcpu of course.

From XDA App on SGS-Vibrant
[Vibrant General] southpaw773:
my phone resets itself also as described above, but not really doing anything in particular. i dont have a whole lot of apps installed. i even was using google maps the other day and after it started up the screen went black and the device was unresponsive until the screen came back and it said searching and the media scanner was running.
[Vibrant General] jblade1000:
well first off thanks for responding lol. i thought i was by myself out here.

secondly, i found that if i leave it alone and let it go through its cycle, it does eventually boot up ok (this is recently, before, it was endless). i havent restarted my phone (im afraid to lol) since it did it on its own yesterday (showing my friend the browsers).

since yesterday, i've used it for navigation (motonav), serveral installs, downloaded podcasts, rss feeds, etc and its been ok (even while charging and wifi on). again, havent actually restarted it since yesterday because its actually functioning for once.

Lastly, i unchecked the auto update time and date from network in the settings just to see if that makes a difference because based on previous expereience that is the point where it freezes and resets. Thanks for chiming in and let me know if there's any other advice you have
[Vibrant General] heygrl:
I'd suggest a reset as mentioned above.
[Vibrant General] Judgement5:
Been checking out this site for awhile but this is my first time posting, today my phone started to have this problem and it just bootloops touchwiz if i have a simcard in the phone.

It works fine without a simcard but my problem is it will not let me turn of auto update of time and date, i have tried disabling this setting and it just enables itself again. I have also noticed that if I started messing around with time and date settings even without a sim touchwiz reloads once. I guess im gonna give a reset a go.
[Vibrant General] jblade1000:
sorry, noob question (i came from winmo and a touch pro 2), what does "a quick reset to defaults" mean? is that like a factory wipe i.e. phone will be brand new again, gotta root again and reinstall everything, change settings, etc?
[Vibrant General] heygrl:
Root will stick but settings and apps/app data will be gone. It briefs you on what is and isn't lost when you do a factory reset.
[Vibrant General] terminatorxman:
Smae problem, its setcpu!

SetCPU with any settings will do this.

It needs an update, the auto detect some how loses and

will set the cpu to 19mhz max and min.

This is too slow to process. I rebooted and pressed settings and uninstalled it

while I could. Seems to behave once out of touchwiz.
[Vibrant General] Judgement5:
For me it was another app not setcpu I never used it. After i did a reset i restored all my apps with titanium backup and once i restarted my phone it looped again. So i did another restore and left off all the apps that i installed right before the problem started and so far i think for me at least one of these caused it

Google maps update

google translate

the extra language pack for translate

barnacle wifi tether

hero of sparta

these are apps that I installed right before the problem happened and without these my phone works fine I am going to see if i can find that one that caused my problem.
[Vibrant General] heygrl:
It's not the maps update because my phone works fine with it.
[Vibrant General] Judgement5:
It was hero of sparta a gameloft game from there web market funny thing is its suppose to work on the vibrant while dungeon hunter which works fine would only give nexus as a check out option. Anyway im going to try to get a refund tomorrow.
[Vibrant General] dcam1075:
I get the same touchwiz reboot but for me it has only ever happened while using google maps. I do not use set cpu, but I have applied the gps fix. It is more than a little annoying. I have done a system wipe but the problem persists.
[Vibrant General] ranova:
yes, if you have setcpu, uninstall it - its buggy with the galaxys

- sometimes you can't wake your phone (if you set a screen off profile), forcing you to do a battery pull

- constant launcher restarts
[Vibrant General] jblade1000:
and this is why i started the thread, to make sure i wasnt all alone. i have everything you have installed as well, but it was doing it before i picked up hero of sparta (and nova, and asphalt 5, man those guys make some good phone game lol).

anyways i just installed barnacle wifi tether yesterday so thats not it either (at least for me). That leaves the google stuff, out of the apps in your list, all of which were installed when i first got the problem, and are still on there after I've removed setCPU
[Vibrant General] jblade1000:
ok so, contacts, text messages, etc stay? Meaning if i do a factory reset, root stays, and all app stuff can be taken care of by, say, AppBrain since it has a running list of everything installed and knows where to get it to install it again? I apprecicate the advice, but this would still be a last resort sort of thing. my phone has worked fine for the past few days but I also havent restarted it yet either:(
[Vibrant General] jblade1000:
just a quick update, my phone still does this if i reboot my phone (which is never now that i got my 32gb sd card), but for the first time ever hero of sparta caused it to happen while the phone is on. I uninstalled it so we'll see.
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] player4lifeov:
So i went to the Google Maps App and found that i couldn't get a street view. Has anyone had this issue?

Right now, I'm running NRG'z latest July 17th MaxSense ROM with radio version 4.48.25.20 and I appear to get better reception than with his previous july 10th ROM

Can the radio you flash improve/worsen your signal?

[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] steviewevie:
Yes, flashing a new radio can affect your reception, as well as your GPS lock time etc.

New question:

I installed the radio version in my sig, and now I get sporadic reception. Meaning, I will have full bars one moment, then no bars the next.

Any reason for this?
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] steviewevie:
Sounds odd, could just be a temporary problem with the cell masts in your area. If it persists, try flashing a different radio ?

How long do you think I should leave a radio flashed and experiment with it before I flash a new one?

PS: thanks for the move, wasn't sure if I was in the right section.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] LiquidXed:
did u switch to radio ver 4.49.25.91? is it workin for that at&t tilt 2?

Is there a way to see what ver of stock radio i got on here before i flash? and is there a way to get it off the phone? thanks
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] LiquidXed:
can i use Rhodium_Radio_4.49.25.91, i dont see if it supports AT&T?
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] smithisize:
It works better than my POS stock ROM by att.

And to check your settings and your radio version, go to settings (within Sense, not start menu) phone information, software information, radio. Bam.

Anyways, back on track, what is with the sporadic issue :( it's really upsetting! Perfect service, then a dropped call. WTF
[Vibrant General] Slashedice:
Hey guys, newbie user and android owner.

I picked up the vibrant the other day. So far its rooted, android-wifi-tether, and i performed the gps fix on it.

I really like the phone, but whenever I connect to my wifi router, it stops all data (android market, web browser, etc) It says connected and doesn't show any signs of problems. Am I doing something wrong?

Thanks for any help you can throw my way.
[Vibrant General] gravis86:
Hmm. Mine has problems with "No Connection" when it's connected to my wireless at home, but I just figured it was my router's fault since my computer gives me the "unable to load web page" thing all the time too. My router sucks, though. Maybe your does too?
[Vibrant General] techpreneur:
Yeah, mine does it sometimes too. I just turn on airplane mode, and turn it back off...works fine after that. Its a hit or miss issue.
[Vibrant General] tq745:
Mine works fine running off if my router. Btw, do you actually have the wi-fi tether working? Because I thought we needed a working kernal for that to work.

Feeling Vibrant on xda-app
[Vibrant General] Slashedice:
Yup that did it for me. All I had to do was turn on airplane mode and then turn it back off. Wifi working for me now. Thanks.

Please tell us how you got wifi tethering to work without a custom kernel.

[Vibrant General] younix258:
you know, i have a similar issue, where im connected to my router but i dont get internet and 3g goes away the moment i connect to wifi... airplane mode didnt help tho... its interesting really..

ive tried other routers and my phone can get wifi w/internet from them

i did factory reset on my phone 3 times trying to figure this out; 2 of the three times i got wifi to work w/internet until i disconnected and connected again. then i just got the same problem all over again
[Captivate General] caelestis2:
How do I keep that awful system volume low? The annoying click click is too loud and it keeps going back up. Anyway to fix it? Am I doing something wrong that makes it go up constantly? Can I disable the clicking noise?
[Captivate General] Dxtra:
Check the keyboard setting , turn off key sound. Simple.
[Captivate General] naplesbill:
There is also a separate system volume setting under sounds.
[Captivate General] scolford:
Use Tasker

I know what you mean about the system volume. I always listen to music on my train commute, which takes a lot of media audio adjustment due to varying external noise levels. Turns out, on my Samsung Vibrant, if you adjust the media audio, the system volume level adjusts as well, so I'd get to work and my phone would sound CLICK CLICK CLICK at an embarassingly high level until I adjusted the system volume back down. What a pain in the butt.

Just created a profile in the Tasker app, though, that should take care of it. For context, I am using Time = 00:00 to 23:59 and then created a task of System Volume = 1. My initial tests are good and adjusting other volume levels doesn't seem to affect the system volume level.
[Captivate General] ru_benz:
"Settings" > "Sound and display" > uncheck "Audible selection"

And while you're there, you might as well uncheck "Audible touch tones" and turn "System volume" all the way down
[Captivate General] halfsoul:
Using navigation in Google Maps turns the system volume to max... Presumably because the text-to-speech engine that it uses plays at system volume and they want you to be able too hear it.
