Have you tried rebooting the phone? Or wiped cache in recovery. Dalvik is imo still more stable and faster then ART atm.

I have tried rebooting and safe mode...
then I wanted to try factory reset but excidently got into download mod insted...I tool the chance of a brick and took the battery out while in download mode(since I didnt have files to burn via odin) and the phone just turned on using delvik and didnt show any problem...so the issue is solved,,,I have no idea how and why but it is...

I had ill effects when switching myself, found that best way to test it was to switch it to ART right after a hard reset or flashing stock via odin. Im sure just wiping cache and dalvik would have fixed it, but i was returning the phone for USB port issues anyhow so i flashed back to stock. not sure if clearing the android files on the internal storage or the cache/dalvik being wiped fixed it, but it ran find after that with no FC's etc. As stated though, i havent really noticed much if any improvement. Still too soon in its infancy to probably see much from it yet lol.
Good luck!

EVO Constant Reboot

Whenever i flash a new ROM, my phone keeps rebooting. Any ideas?
Thanks
At what point does it reboot?
Sent via the Sprint HTC EVO
Try clearing your cache, data, etc. and yank the battery, wait 30 seconds, put it back in.
What ROMs and kernels have you tried?
Constant reboot happens when exiting recovery mode after flashing a new ROM.
I have tried several ROMS. Only one that works is fresh ROMS.
What method is the best way to ensure cache is deleted?
through your recovery. you should always wipe before you flash
data/cache/dalvik all three options
Yo, I'm having the same problems.

Constant reboot fixed by factory reset for me.

Will give the Factory Reset a try.
Thanks
Just tried it. Didn't work.
Clear ALL cache and data from your recovery: Dalvik cache, /data, and regular cache. Also try removing your SD card (worth a shot).

This just happened to me also. Did you also root with the Unrevoked Evo 2 app? That's that I did, and it's the only thing I think might be causing the problem.

com.android.phone has stopped

Hi guys ino this problems has been posted before bui cant find the answers none of them work.
Basically this is note my phone its my grandads i updated the Firmware from Gingerbread to ICS last week and when people phone him this process stops. Now ive tried going into reject messages settings and having less then 5 and it does nit work. The phone is NOT rooted and will not be as I don't want to screw upp their warenty.
I would normally wipe permissions but I cant since CWM is not installed.
I also cant replace phone apk as I need Root access.
Please any help would be great.
Firmware version. : PDA:LQ2 /PHONE:LPT / CSC:LP4 (CPW)
Stock ICS 4.0.3 ROM
Guess first thing to try would be to wipe cache and data on the dialler app.
Every time ive had this problem though, the only tying thats worked has been a factory reset. Id watch out doing this on an ics rom though, samsung have now admitted the emmc issue and are working on stable kernels but they will probably be out a month or so.
Alternatively you may be able to use an alternative dialler from the play store.

Apologies, i think you'd need to be rooted to install an alternative dialler.

Wiping/factory reset will do the trick, I was having the same problem, coming from pre rooted Gingerbread to flashing non rooted stock ROM ICS through PC Odin.
After wiping problem no more force close on phone.

i wouldnt advise a factory reset with all the info we now know,would you like to be responsible for his bricked phone
i would wait til your in a position to install root safely and use a safe kernel then wipe
What I meant was a wipe after stock ROM was flashed through Odin, doesn't that remove CWM? It IS safe to do factory reset without CWM installed is it? And if you can't use your phone without well, having com.android.phone running and you do just a factorey reset it needs to go back to Samsung anyway. Hard resetting your phone doesn't seem to break warranty to me, does it?
Any advise will be appreciated, I'm still trying to figure out what to do and how to root ICS.
Thanks.
Do NOT factory reset in ICS as it could initiate the superbrick. Only wipe in CM9 or gingerbread.
Ok. Thanks. Already did it though . I was lucky to not brick the damn thing
Rolling back to Gingerbread doesn´t work, unfortunately, I get errors/fc on at least 3 important processes.
Edit: Well, I managed to get Gingerbread working again after all; flashed back to GB through PC Odin and then do a full wipe/factory restore.
wipe cache and dalvik cache will do the trick.
Guys I said that I do NOT have CWM installed nor am i rooted so little of these options will work. But I factory reset it went into reset area of setting and restored to stock and everything works fines now so THANK you also another note my granny's Galaxy s3 had the same problem after fixing the Galaxy note about 3 days after had to reset hers as well and its fine now. I wondered if it could be because i brought both phones from Carphonewarehouse ?
Thanks for your help

Nexus 4 Won''t pass Google Screen

My N4 doesn't seem to pass the Google Screen. I flashed a new rom because for some reason I stopped receiving messages but could make phone calls. I was on PAC now I tried to flash Revolt 4.4 but now it will not pass the Google Screen. Also, I am on twrp if that helps. I have used normal wipe. then advanced wiping the system,cache,data. Anyone know how to fix this?
-Thanks !

When you say normal wipe, do you mean wipe data/factory reset? If you haven't tried that, try it then flash a new ROM and then gapps. If your problem still persists then you would probably have to revert to stock ROM (factory image)
You may have gotten a bad download of the ROM, or some other problem with the zip. If you still have the zip of your last ROM (always a good idea until you know the new one boots), then try flashing it. If not, as suggested above, revert to stock and start over.

With factory image will my phone be completly erased?
And I mean with when you go to twrp recvoery the normal wipe. Not Factory Reset the standard wipe data and cache.
Fixed it.
Kind of bummed out right now. It seems TWRP recovery was bugged somehow. It didn't let me wipe anything at all. even when it said it did which is odd. I had to perform a factory reset. I'm glad about the phone now booting up. Just a little bummed out all those pics I took on the 4th of July are gone.

Update to kitkat becomes so laggy

I got my s4 a couple of days a go with 4.2 and everything is smooth, then yesterday i updated to 4.4 and everything is also okay after a couple of hours everything becomes laggy, cant even open any app, can go to home screen, just pure lag. Anyone else experiencing this? also I'm using i9505.
welcome to Android.

But I'm just on stock and not yet rooted, the only solution i found is restarting the phone, then after a while becomes so laggy again. any permanent fix for this?

Stuck in recovery mode loop

Hi guys
i have a custom rom, nougat 7.1 installed and its been working fine. last night i installed an aftermarket battery replacement as the other wasnt holding a charge. after turning on by simply pressing the power switch it went straight to twrp recovery and kept doing so. this morning i cleared the cache and data to start again which was a bit of hassle and it then booted fine. however, i just restarted again and its in the same loop.
i have checked for any obvious obstruction under the rear case that could be pressing against the volume keys but there isnt anything.
any ideas?
cheers
Did you try to reflash everything, e.g. also the ROM?

i didnt really want to do that unless i really had to. as i say, before the battery swap it was fine
But if you cleared already cache *and* data all your data is already lost, e.g. it's like a factory reset. So flashing a new ROM will not worse the situation ...
