[Q] dialer crashing - Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hey guys
I just flashed to Cognition 3.04 and im loving it
after customizing my homescreen and stuff i got through the day happily (was worried i screwed up somewhere)
everything was good but today my dialer stopped working
i dont exactly remember when it started, but what happens is the call goes through, then my phone vibrates a few times and the dialer closes
afterwards, i get the popup saying Auto-update of Time and Date
I have no problems receiving calls, and my calls do go through (dialed to other people but it seems like the dialer closes after a few seconds)
I`ve noticed that 3g turns off as well :S
Is there an app I can use to figure out whats causing the crashes + any suggestions or solutions?
thanks in advance for any help
nevermind, sorry D: fixed it by turning off call status tones

Notifications - odd issue

OK I've had this issue for a little while since trying non-stock firmware but it seems really inconsistent. The issue seems to be network related but that's my basic diagnosis. The problem is that I seem to only get notifications if I wake the phone up to check manually.
The best example of this is using any Twitter application where I have it set to check every 15 minutes and it seems like half the time that works fine and notifications come through fine. The rest of the time, something that that happened not long ago too, I looked at my phone and nothing there. I opened Twitter app (I Tweet in this case), refreshed and messages from an hour or more ago popped up.
There's a similar issue I've had where notifications would be there but I wouldn't get the sound notification unless I wake the phone up where they'd be waiting for me. I put that down to using the Hero ROM though.
I thought it might be down to using the Hero ROM but now with Cyanogen's 3.8.9.1 the same thing happened. It's a big issue to me but I don't see anyone else having it. Any thoughts? The only thought I had on it is a data connection issue where nothing is pulled in regardless of settings unless I manually witness / do it. Halp
Damn, i thought i was the only one. I guess not, funny thing is im on JF V 1.51 ADP with HTC Hero theme V1.3.5. Same thing with me, sometimes the texts and other notifications come through fine...other times, i wont get nothing for hours and be like wtf, ill manually unlock my phone and as soon as i touch the button my phone starts vibratin, ringtones go off, a million pop ups and my phone goes nuts. I thought it was just me but i guess not, i wonder what this could be? Maybe its a specific something, lets see what we have in common...
Phone: Black T-Mobile G1
ROM: JF's ADP V1.51 Cupcake
Theme: HTC Hero V1.3.5
Text Messaging Apps: SMS Popup, ChompSMS
Facebook App: Bloo
Also, i have to re-do my email always after awhile because at first it will be fine and ill get the email notifications fine but then after a day or two it always stops working and i have to go through settings, into applications, then to email and delete cache/data. Go back into Email, re type my email, password and everything and then it just starts all over.
Little stupid ish like this is drivin me nuts.
Oh thank gawd.. at least we know that we're not going insane and imagining it! Unfortunately I don't see anything on the phone we have in common other than both ROMs being based on 1.51
Phone: Black T-Mobile G1 (UK)
ROM: Cyanogen 3.8.9.1
Theme: Running Open Home
Text Messaging Apps: None currently
Facebook: Spawn of the debil! Don't use it
I don't use e-mail other than GMail on my phone right now and that works fine as far as I can tell but I get so few e-mails I can't say for sure.
This is a known bug with Android, started before Cupcake. Reboot usually will fix it for a while, I usually reboot my phone once a week or so.

Random vibrate with Cognition?

So I updated to Cognition's 2.2, and all is well except every few seconds it will start vibrating like I have a text or e-mail. I don't have any texts or e-mails and I have service, so I am not sure what the issue is. Anyone having the same sort of thing happening? Thanks in advance.
Also noticed that I can't get to silent mode. It will go to vibrate mode, but I remember in 2.1 there was Vibrate and Silent. Only vibrate in 2.2? Weird.
Edited again: And while in Settings, the back button doesn't work. Awesome. If anyone has a fix for this let me know, or else I'm probably going to master clear, go back to stock and try and start over ;\
Not sure if these are FC's.... anyone?
I can tell you that someone in the DEV thread on the COG 2.2 build did say that was due to FCs. But that was close to the end (as of a few min ago) and there was no resolution that I read.
I had this problem with One Click Lag fix and email FC's that made my phone constantly vibrate. Once I disabled OCLF, the problem went away.

Incoming call screen disappears - can't answer call!

Hi all,
Friend and I both have the Incredible S, loving it! He has a slight issue and I can't for the life of me solve it. Everything was working fine but now when he has an incoming call and the screen is off the incoming call screen flashes up briefly then disappears and device shows normal 'desktop' - you can't answer the call!
If you call his phone and the screen is active, incoming call screen pops up as expected and you can answer call.
Any ideas peeps?
Thanks

Hmmm,
I'm having the exact same problem. Running Fresh Evo on HTC Evo. Would love to know why this is happening. Any ideas?

Never worked it out, friend did factory reset in the end to fix it.

Bummer. Here's some info:
Latest Fresh EVO
Rom Manager
Rom Manager Janitor
Juice Defender Ultimate Juice
Titanium Backup Pro
Cachemate for Root
ShootMe
Adfree Android
adbwireless
Call Control (problem before this, though)
Launcher Pro
Any hints?
Having the same exact issue. This sucks... This started today for me around noon ( no calls before then), and has persisted throughout the day. Yesterday was fine.
I use Google voice for all of my calls.
The only thing I've done today that I haven't done every other day was that I installed the Gtalk app this morning. In the past, I've used Gmail directly. However, my computer was off during at least one of the phone calls I received today, so I can't imagine this could be it...
Perhaps because I installed gAlwaysIdle (an addition to Gtalk that makes you never go idle or always be idle) as well?
Does this correspond with anyone else's experience?
I'll probably just reflash my phone
<Rooted Atrix 4g running GingerBlur>
hmm this sounds like a serious firmware problem tho..
all i could suggest is flash a firmware that the most of the ppl are using, and dont got probs with...
well doing a good reboot seems to help alot these days. So disable the fastboot option en turn it off, wait a while (10 secs should be enough) en start the device again.
Also had some of the trouble like crashing things and this solved it for me. Give it a try and hope it will fix it.
Otherwise there seems to be no other way than a factory reset (go htc!)

[Q] Ultra-delayed response times

Hi folks,
i cant really explain it better in the title, sorry for that.
Sometimes my phone acts pretty weird.
If it's in standby-mode and i press the Power-OFF/ON button to awake it, it takes like an eternity for the phone to actually wake up.
Same goes for the Home-Button at the center.
When there is an incoming call and i anwer it, i cant "close" the call by myself, because i simply cannot access the menu once the phone is in standby-mode when talking longer than 20 secs.
The strangest thing happens when I call somebody else: i cannot close that call e.g. when nobody answers, i have to push home-Button or On/Off-Button a thousand times in order to get a short response from my phone where i see the dialer menu for like 2 seconds...
Somebody got an idea?
P.S.: Is it normal that LauncherPro-Background is bugged in Gingerbread-ROMs? It sometimes shows a black background while only the dock shows the part of the background i actually set.
Regards.
Aww i really want to get these problems solved :/
I'd realy like a solution on that aswell, it's very anoying
Well the launcherpro bug is because ram memory is full and launcherpro needs to reload himself. I don't have the first problem on cm7, which rom do you use?
I was on Darkys 9.5 extreme edition when this problem occured. In addition to that problem also occured when i was on a doc rom - irealy have no clue why.
I am currently on Darkys 10.1 but couldnt test if the bug ia still there when calling or answering a call.

[Q] Phone kinda reboots with incoming call

I upgraded my Captivate to gingerbread/talon/continuum yesterday.
That went fine and everything was hunky dory.
Phone was working fine the whole day today, incoming/outgoing calls, data.
I came home and installed Skype and thats when all hell broke loose.
Now the phone part is dead (kinda!). I can make calls fine but if I get a incoming call, the call gets disconnected after 1 ring and I get a msg popup (like some error) but I cant really see what the message is.
I also noticed that it disconnects me from ATT network when a call comes in and then after a little bit it reconnects.
I also verified this by going to the About->Status screen and then making a call.
It normally says ATT but for a couple of secs after call drop it says 'Unknown'.
What did I do to screw it up and how can I fix it?
Thanks
Glaring obvious first question -- did you try uninstalling Skype to see if that resolved anything?

Sorry, I should have added that to my first post.
Yes, I did uninstall Skype and reboot the phone, just incase, but no difference.
Still the same.
Update:
After playing around with various things for a couple of hrs, I finally gave up and reflashed Continuum.
Everything started working again.
Applied my Ti backed up config and loaded Netflix. Same problem. Dialer died with an incoming call.
I reflashed Continuum again and everything started working as expected.
I then applied my Ti backup, still everything working.
I am in the process of updating all my apps and then lets see if everything is still working.
The only thing that is missing for now is the Netflix app.
I will keep everyone updated if its the Netflix app causing the issue or its the Skype.
activemind: Keep us posted if you find a cause. I am on a Samsung Vibrant (3g) via TMOB but have been having the same issue today with a completely different rom (simply honey). This is actually about the 6th thread I've found in the past two days having this same issue on Galaxy S phones.
I have had this problem before and what caused it was restoring system data with titanium. Make sure you are only restoring apps.
