Hey guys, this is my first time starting a thread on this site, so please bear with me for a bit. Earlier today my S2 was working fine, i was browsing the net, chatting and etc. But when i started my "whats app" it started lagging for a bit, because i was chatting to a group. Then all of a sudden when i lock my phone and later on unlocked it, it said the phone was running on "Safe Mode". Soo i google'd "how to exit safe mode on galaxy" and it gave me a few solutions, one of them told me to switch off the phone and remove the battery for a minute. I did that, and all of a sudden when i unlock my phone, applications keep crashing including the interface itself ("TWLauncher" i guess that's its name) Soo please help me as i don't know much about this. My phone is not even rooted, i could manage to open the task manager but that's all. I can't even use the usb as it will crash again. All help would be greatly appreciated =)
*small update* I could access my settings and i could switch to the ics launcher but i still can't use the net and stuff =S
Basically I've noticed the default apps that comes with the phone are acting up :S

If you are not bothered about your installed apps and data and you can manage to go to settings/ Privacy / Factory Data reset.....have a try

I can't do that really =S Because i have alot of important data on my phone, this problem came out of nowhere. I hope i could find a solution before referring to that
You have not backed up your data ??? Nor do you have a nandroid backup ???
If so you need to access the internal storage of the phone via USB mass storage and copy off what you can .
Alternative methods such as rooting and installing a no wipe custom rom will probably keep your data but void warranty .

Problem is, i never backed up my data =S
And i can't access the USB mass storage, the thing keeps crashing and telling me to "force close" even if i try reporting the wifi isn't connecting to the network soo things are really messed up =S
I don't mind rooting my phone, as long as you could provide me a step by step guide on how to root my phone without loosing my data.

Luckily i already had ICS installed soo i could switch between that and twlauncher but still same problems i can't access my initially installed apps that came with the phone such as (internet,clock,calender,gallery and etc.) But the downloaded apps that don't require internet access are running fine.

are you able to open application "my files" ?
if you are still not able to access your phone from PC, then you can copy and paste your stuffs to external SD using "my files".
Give the complete detailes when you see about phone or dail *#1234#

If you are not worried about your applications you just do factory reset of the phone and try
settings/privacy/factory data reset
if you are not able to do this,
Volume Up + Home + Power brings your Phone into Recovery Mode.
Volume up: Highlight up
Volume down: Highlight down
Home: select
Power: back
select wipe data factory reset
if your phone keep crashing and you will not be able to factory reset... then you can did it from recovery mode from stock ..
Just hold power-menu-vol up from off condition then chooswl wipe data from recovery mode
if u thank me then i will thank you ( 이 승 기 )
I am on Resurrection Remix JB 3.1.2 . I like this ROM but i have a big big problem. Everytime i connect my phone with my PC via usb and turn the usb storage ON,,,, in my phone all my photos and videos on both memory ( SD Card & Phone Memory ) deleted automaticlly without any warning .. It is the second time that happens to me. Plzz some one tell why is this happening to my phone.
That's strange...
Did u check if this is PC or Phone(ROM) related?
Test if it happens on another PC, too.
So maybe u are running a software on or PC which brings this bad result.
If there happens the same, try another ROM or ask in ROM thread if anybody else recognized this problem.
CHEERS

1. To see your firmware version go to system settings/about device
2. Might be you have corrupted files on your internal sd card.
Try following:
- connect your phone in UMS mode (not MTP) to PC via USB cable
- check the sd card for errors from PC: /right click > properties/tools/error-checking

Hello XDA Gurus – greetings from a disturbed SGS3 owner !!
My Phone : SGS3 i9300 international JB 4.1.2 unlocked rooted , in use for last 15+ months with no hassles what-so-ever , thanks to all the tweaks & mods I found from here . Its tuned & optimised like a well-oiled machine !!
However, something went wrong last week , probably an interrupted backup , and since then the App Manager ( Settings > Application Manager ) is constantly crashing when I try to change default settings using the ( bottom left ) menu button . All other stuff on the phone is working like a charm , only this glitch & quite an irritating glitch really !!
I think the system file for App Manager got corrupted somehow ( I don’t think its a “heart-bleed” affair , have checked using LOOKOUT extn ) , and all I need is the appropriate file & its location , so that I can over-write the corrupted one using Root Browser .
Could someone be kind enough to pl help me with the proper system file ( as an attachment ) and its correct location ( which folder in System ). I don’t think I need a full OS reinstall for this tiny issue .
Would be grateful for a quick help !!
Many thanks in advance !!
