I was using my phone as usual at work, and noticed I couldn't modify an entry in Jorte (calendar app). The phone would produce an error message. Next, the Jorte widget failed to load.
I restarted the phone and was alarmed to see:
The application com.google.process.gapps has stopped unexpectedly.
followed immediately by:
The application com.sec.android.app.samsungapps.una has stopped unexpectedly.
Probably half the program icons are missing! Settings>Manage applications shows that every app uses 0.00B!
Even when trying to do a factory reset, I get:
The application Settings (process com.android.settings) has stopped unexpectedly.
Phone will not start up on its own: I get the "waiting dial" icon for 1/2 second, and then nothing. Will only start when plugged into USB.
Rather than the 3G symbol, I get a circle with a slash through it (ie. no service).
What's going on?? Is the memory (internal SD) on my phone corrupted?
How can I determine the state of the internal SD? How can I reformat it, if need be?
I turned off auto sync for starters; no help.
EDIT: it looks like the only apps that still appear on the phone are the ones it came with; icons for all the apps I've downloaded are missing!
EDIT: Clicking the Samsung Apps icon comes up with a dialog "No SIM card or phone is turned off"! (Why would a phone app tell you the phone may be off?!)
