Hu guys,
i was googling for some hours but couldnt find a soltuion to this. Everytime i install ANY app on my new sgs2 and reboot I get the following error message:
The application Status Bar (process com.android.systemui) has stopped unexpectedly. Please try again.
I get the message twice and then the bar is gone. When i dont press force close I see the bar just working perfectly in the background.
Only solution is factory reset, but as soon i install apps (no matter which) i start getting the same problems.
Thinking of returning the phone

Can you post what's in the 'About Phone's screen, what network you're using and where you bought your phone.

Try a reflash as i only got that problem when i pushed systemui.apk and didnt reboot straight after. Sounds like a corruption somewherw

the problem was when ever i made the inital configuration i ticked the box to sync my google config. my google config was from my old sgs1 which must have corrupted my phone. i reset the phone and unticked the google config option and i dont have the problem anymore.
Ahhh!!! I got the same problem!!! Is there any way to fix this? Anyone?
marcie82, i'm having the same problem and your post was the only post I found that addresses the issue. When you wrote that you've reset your phone, did you mean you reflashed it?
I just got the same phone from amazon.. and it worked fine when i first opened it but then the task bar disappeared..
i reset it back to original factory settings.. it's downloading my old apps now.. i'll keep on debugging this thing until something comes up
A buddy of mine had a similar issue, for him it was com.android.phone that kept randomly crashing, sometimes mid-call and thereby terminating the call.
We tried factory reset and other things as well, nothing helped.
So we ended up re-flashing the FW (he was on KE2 and we flashed a stock KE7), that is now ~2 weeks ago and he never had any crashes anymore since then.
So, long story short, try reflashing (a maybe newer) FW with odin, factory once more (if the ROM doesn't do it while flashing) and see if it gets any better.
Also check the CSC setting, we set it to generic XEU after the flash - use w/e suits your region/FW.
installing applications
i noticed that as soon as i go to google market and click on the 'my apps' button.. it starts downloading all the apps i previously purchased automatically.. is there a way to prevent that from happening?
Settings -> Privacy
"Back uo my data" and "Automatic restore"
untick at least the auto-restore, or the auto-backup too, maybe that helps.
I got both disabled by default (first thing I set after a wipe) and it never tried to restore my apps by itself (yay for AppBackupAndRestore ).
could it be a specific application?
debugging progress: i noticed that it's not installing *any* app that causes this task bar thing disappearing (at least not in my case):
i restored my phone to factory default.. then i disabled my automatic restore and defaults. then i installed only one app from my very long list of apps. (for some reason i had to do it from my 3g connection and not wifi.. but that's a different problem)..
anyways i installed it and it worked just fine! i restarted my phone just to make sure and the task bar is still there!
i'm gonna go through my apps ans install them one by one.. i know it's a painstaking process but hey i gotta give back to the android community

A trick I used in a similar situation was the following :
Use Titanium Backup. U make a backup of the application that has the problem. Then u wipe the data of this application and then u restore the data.
For me that trick miraculoussly solved that problem ...

Had the same problem with not working phone/contacts, freezing like "process com.android.phone - Force Close" etc.
I realized the error happens only after upgrading for example to KG, than after a short period making a backup of the whole system, downgrading to KF, then restoring with Titanium Backup.
It restores the whole system, including settings, and accounts and so on. This might be the problem. It seems nobody realized that the MODEM and PHONE is upgraded too, so there might be some components not compatible with earlier versions.
Solution: restore only user apps & data, not the system settings. Use a separate app for SMS, call logs, contacts or calendar. Do a cache wipe and then a fact reset from MENU+UP+POWER (restore menu), then reinstall your choice of firmware, restore user apps&data with Titanium or anything preferred, then enter/restore everything else manually. No problem when upgrading.
Tested, had 3 sleepless nights, but works for me.
Noob in need of androidized kindle help!
Hey ya'll,
I just rooted and downloaded ics4 onto my kindle. It was working great all day and I used the gba emulator for android and everything.
Now, for some reason I keep getting the error "unfortunately, system UI has stopped working".The tool bar on the bottom of the screen with the home and back buttons aren't even there anymore. I have rebooted and gone into TWRP and done a system reboot and everything yet that keeps happening. Why do you think that is ?
caused by Titanium

I am sure the problem caused by restore system data by Titanium. I have tried four times today. Factory reset and flash and restore. Only when I restore system data caused this problem.
Why resurrect a two year old thread?
For information, restoring apps WILL NOT cause instability......restoring data ESPECIALLY data from system apps WILL.
RULE OF THUMB......
If you are upgrading your android OS (eg...ICS to JB).....
DO NOT restore system app data....ever
For user apps....if the app runs as soon as you open it, you *should* be ok to re-install the data.
If the app requires the downloading of 'additional files' on first run, DO NOT re-install as this data is likely to be OS version specific......
My wife says I'm a phone geek....She's probably right
Due to an update of an Xposed module, I had badly corrupted my systemui. The phone was totally unusable, and I could only press the OK button notifying the stopped event at startup.
Lucky me, I still had not updated to 4.4.3. Via Skipsoft Android Toolkit I updated to the last Android release, and my systemui got fixed. I did not choose to do a complete wipe, so I actually maintained my previous apps. In relation to root, I did not loose it, but I had to reinstall SuperSU to get the non-official apps working again.
I hope this helps somebody else in my same condition, with no need to do a system wipe!
com.android.systemui stops working when battwry gets less then 16 %
Hi guys ,
Can anyone upload the system ui file for android KitKat?
I tried all things to fix "Unfortunately com.android.system ui. Has stopped working when battery gets lower then 16% so I think I should replace the system ui file from system app folder
Hey everyone, I just had this same problem pop up onto my phone while I was checking my messages. Ive never rooted my Motorola Droid Razr HD and the power button is jammed at the moment as well. Is there a way around this problem or is this phone done for?
Maybe you should try increasing the heapsize in the build.prop file, the no. of notifications in the status bar causes this crash. if you want to know more about the heapsize etc. google for this crash in cyanogenmod fourms.
Today I tried the CM9 ICS ROM from this thread on my galaxy tab 10.1. Before installing it, I did a backup in CWM. I then tried out ICS and reverted back to my old honeycomb after a few hours (basically because of the missing camera and no youtube HD).
Problem is, now all my google apps seem to have no internet connection even though I'm connected (Browser works, Twitter aswell). I'm guessing that all the apps that were in that ICS build have no connection now that I reverted back to the old version. This makes my tablet basically useless and I haven't been able to fix this on my own.
I tried to delete /cache aswell as the dalvik cache in CWM. Deleting all user data didn't help either. Reinstalling the apps is not possible because the market can't connect either (I deleted all market updates and pulled the apk from the internets, still no connection)
I have DroidWall installed and tried to reset the settings there, no luck. Even disabling it completely didn't help.
I'd be grateful for any help concerning this.
You could try flashing a gapps package: http://goo-inside.me/gapps.
Thanks, but I just wiped the whole thing and did a factory reset. That did the trick.
Hi,
I have a problem on my smartphone. (For info, it's a motorola atrix, running a Gingerbread stock version (no rooted, no operator specific version)
The problem is : all modifications done after a specific date (new photos, installed apps, send/received messages, preferences changes) disappear after a reboot. Same thing if I delete photos that were on the phone before that date, they seem to be deleted, but after a reboot they come back.
I tried to format, but nothing happened, the memory used stays the same, format is not done though no error message is thrown
The last test will be a factory reset ...
So I was wondering:
- is my memory storage corrupted ? is there any diagnostic app ?
- or is there any "read only" option in Gingerbread that I didn't notice ?
And jost for knowing, what is happening ? Do all the changes are saved in cache, so after reboot the cache is lost and I get back to the last "persisted" state ? Or is there a reset to the state at the specific date done at each reboot ?
Thanx for your help
Ok, I come back here because i need help with my problem, i don't have any idea ...
1) I have tried a factory reset (both mode, via menu, and external reset) : nothing happens, well it tells me it wipes data, reboot, and everything is like before
2) I tried to root the phone, with :
- Gingerbreak
- SuperOneClick
- Pete's Motorola Root Tools
- Unlock Root
Gingerbreak never ends, last time running but keep as it ... so failed
SuperOneClick and PMRT seem to do something, the phone reboot, but rootchecker tell me i'm not rooted
UnlockRoot i faild making it work
3) I check apps, installed avg (just to try, no more idea) but it saw nothing special ... I uninstalled some apps...
The result is same, after rebooting, all the modifications are lost (installed/removed apps, added/deleted files, system parameters, ...)
The only way I image now is flashing the bootloader & install a new rom ...
BUT it's a system, I should be able to see what is happening, which application is messing it up ? Is there an app that reset the phone state after reboot ? I don't understand ...
An help would be appreciated,
thanx a lot

I have the same issue, I tried a lot of things, but nothing. anyone?
Good afternoon.
Recently, I dealt with the message "The Contacts application stopped". The same with Calendar app and sometimes with the Camera app. The same issue I had with the original keyboard LG, which I did not use so I did not mind that. Basically, the message appeared only after backing up with Titanium backup before I switched back to Smart Keyboard Pro.
Deleting data of the application did not help. So I had to do a Factory reset. But that logically resulted in deleting Smart Pro Keaboard and thus I was done because LG keyboard was not working again. So I could not enter the password for Wi-Fi, could not log into my Google Account and therefore all my backups were useless (LG backup, Google backup and Titanium Backup). Now, as I write this, I get an idea to install Titanium Backup from the card, so maybe next time).
So finally I had to flash the phone. Then I restored everything (root, applications, SDfix, Folder mount, ... ) and the phone worked for about a week without any problems. Then Contacts started to stop (again: "The application Contacts stopped"). I went around by using another application for contacts. But then even Settings began to stop. For example when I need to turn on Wi-Fi, I'll hold the icon for a list of available networks and the app Settings stops. The same when I try to set the background image or when I try to access the list of applications or try to view Phone info.
Prior to these problems, the phone went over a year without any problems. I've got SafeRemover, but I just deleted useless apps like Google Music and so on. I cannot delete data of the stopping apps since I cannot get into the menu.
I do not I have any suspicious newly installed application. No task killer, booster, antivirus and similar crap I do. Just SD Maid.
I have a LG L70, Android 4.4.2 with the newest firmware from LG web. I can not find out more because Setting would stop. :-/
Do you guys have any idea how to solve the problem?
You could try an older version of the firmware.
You could also try clearing cache and dalvik cache through recovery (if possivle) or flashing custom ROMs (if available).
Thanks a lot for your replies. I don't know how to clean Dalvik cache with recovery. I tried flashing the same stock ROM again with normal flash. Other possibilities are (in this order): CSE flash with the same rom, normal flash with different stock rom, custom rom.
So after normal flashing with stock ROM everything seemed ok. I recovered some apps and setting from Google account and then I started recovering from LG backup. It ended, phone switched of and is dead. I can't switch it on, load Recovery menu neither Bootloader menu (with USB cable). So it look like a hard brick.
My notebook sees the phone as "QHSUSB_BULK" in a "non-determined device" category. I'm searching the unbrick method but I start being desperate. :-/
Hey guys.
I have encountered an EXTREMELY frustrating problem with android 9/10.
I was messing with some options in my phone like 'data usage' and 'permissions' & disabling some apps using adb & greenify.
All of this was common stuff that I'd always mess with, on Oreo.
On oreo when my system apps 'wigged out' I could flash my stock rom a couple times and the system apps/services would go back to normal (Inactive).
On android 9/10 though, I notice that when these same system apps go haywire there is no way to reset them back to their default behavior.
My phone is running about 9 extra services than it should be (mostly samsung services). Also, my battery drain is draining about 25% faster than it should be.
Things I've tried:
1. Wipe data/factory reset.
2. Wipe cache.
3. Reset app preferences from app menu.
4. Reset all settings from reset menu.
5. Flashed firmware multiple times, using odin.
6. Flashed combination rom, to clear google data (this one fixed some of the rogue services, but not all of them).
7. Install combination rom and try factory reset from within the rom.
(Next, 8), I'm going to try Smart switch (PC) to reinstall firmware.
Some of the rogue services I'm referring to:
com.qualcomm.atfwd
com.qualcomm.embms
SVC Agent
Call & text on other devices
com.sec.imsservice:CloudMessageService
android:drmService
Software update
Bluetooth service
Samsung Push Service
Smart Switch (fixed by #6)
Samsung cloud (fixed by #6)
Find my mobile (fixed by #6)
(All these were inactive by default, but after disabling some samsung system apps these are now permanently stuck on).
(I'd like to remind you, I could fix all of the above services from running on oreo, with a simple double firmware flash).
I'm thinking I need to wipe my "system partition", but without root this seems almost impossible.
Has anyone encountered this issue before?
Does anyone know how to wipe/format system partition without root?
Any other suggested ideas would be huge. Thanks.
