Hello,
I have a problem with my samsung galaxy s2 GT-I9100
running android 2.3.5 stock version.
I'm normal user who used the phone for basic function like making phone calls and using the google, facebook apps with some installed apps from the play store.
Today, 2 hours ago logsprovider initiated out of nowhere an endless loop of "force close" alerts, between them most of the running apps were closed too (including some weird z7... app).
Because of the interval (about half a second) between alerts I can goto setting -> apps -> and "clear data" in the logsprovider config.
this stops the "force close" alerts loop untill the next restart of the phone. in this state I basically don't have access to the phone features and all the home screens are empty, including the phone's apps menu.
I can run any app by adding it to the home screen and then executing it, if the app has system operation like the play store that require it to install something, the app will crash and no new programs will install.
I can also connect the phone to a computer and get access to all the files (I think it's just those on storage), I might try to get an apk of an antivirus there and try to install it - hope it doesn't crash
These are desprate times... thats why I'm contacting the experts,
1. Can I fix this, this might have been caused by an app, what to do?
2. If the only solution is factory reset how do I backup the data, apps, or contact lists?

Hi all gurus, need your helps.
I have just upgraded to 4.1.1 via Kies, XXDLJ1, on I9300.
Whenever I go to Applications Manager, it will has that error or auto exit.
1. I have tried wipe, it is fine, no more issue.
2. I restored all apps from titanium, it comes back
3. I uninstall apps by batch, it turns ok after some number of apps uninstalled. it is not related to particular apps but apps count matter as i tried install n uninstall a different batch of apps, same observation.
4. It always error or exit after i am in the application manager for a few seconds, it seem failed to get apps size successfully counted.
5. I have about 200 apps
Pls help, very frustrated and i tried google for long time but no obvious solution
any tips please?
Same thing with me on Samsung GT-I9300 with Android 4.1.1
I came across this problem 2 times.
The first time it happened when I installed a game "Waking Mars". The game was working fine, I played for around 20 minutes and then wanted to check free storage left after installing. But when I opened Application manager swiping was very laggy and after a few (5-10) secs it crashed with "Unfortunately, Settings has stopped" error or just closed. At that time I didn't know that it was because of "Waking Mars" and started to delete unnecessery applications I installed that day and yesterday, but problem vanished only after uninstalling "Waking Mars". Also, while this app was installed, phone's screen was glitchy and became bleached (the glitch disappeared after rebooting), like when "Natural" screen mode is activated, but it wasn't. When I had tried to install the game again, the problem came back.
The second time it was because of "Galaxy On Fire 2" installed. Same problems appeared: crashing Application manager and glitchy screen.
So I'm pretty sure the problem is because of some exact application, not because of the number of apps installed.
Both games contained their data in ".apk" file, but another Waking Mars version with separate data (cache) caused the same problem too.
By the way, funny thing is that both games are about space
P.S.: Sorry for my English, it isn't my native language.
hi casper1, did you solve the problem? how? same problem here and still persisting, after many many attempts
So I cut off the wake up path for a few apps when they opened Google play store for inapp purchases.
I later realised this broke it for all apps and not just the apps I cut off the wake up path to. After doing this I can no longer access any kind of in app purchases in all apps.
I degreenified Google play store instead of reattaching the wake up path. That didn't fix it, I couldn't find Google play store in the hibernated apps or anywhere to reattach the paths.
I disabled the xposed module, uninstalled greenify and this still didn't fix it, none of the apps are able to open the in app purchase window.
I know this might be a strange problem but any help would be really appreciated since the only option I see now is to wipe/flash the Rom again.
Here's an example, not all apps show an error they just get stuck in the loading screen when accessing any in app option.
Example
Well, tried to reinstall greenify, doesn't work now, have the donation package installed, no network problem just the Same problem as all the other apps.
I think that the only option is to wipe and reinstall the ROM. I once had a similar issue where Play Store simply vanished and Google Play Services refused to function. I did a wipe and nandroid install which solved the issue. All other attempts failed.
Greenify should have re-attached all cut-off paths before de-greenify an app.
Try removing /data/system/packages.xml (backup first!) and reboot.
WARNING: To anyone coming here with a more recent version of Android (Android 11 in my case) -
DO NOT TRY TO DELETE /data/system/packages.xml
Will effectively reset the phone and remove ALL APPS on reboot!
DO NOT TRY TO RESTORE THE OLD PACKAGES.XML FILE EITHER! Everything including SystemUI will crash and you'll have no other option than factory reset!
Hello,
I have bought a no-brand phone and I noticed, that every now and then some application (which is full of ads) appear in my phone without any notice. I can uninstall them but they will appear again (sometimes same, sometimes new). I have tried to factory reset the phone, but the issue still continue.
Is there any way to find out which app is installing unwanted apps? For example android logs, finding apps with installing permissions, sniffing packets to find out which app downloaded a app?
I have root permission on the phone.
Thank you in advance
So this is my old phone that my mom is using since January. Before giving it to her I did a factory reset, and it worked fine. Recently since the February security update the phone freezes when typing. It will open random apps, and requires a force restart to stop the freeze. When you go to clear the tasks in the manager and restart the phone, they are all there again open (Facebook, games, camera etc). Her Google maps app was running in the background when the window popped up saying "Process System is responding. Do you want to close it?". Neither button will work, it stays frozen on the screen. A hard restart brought the phone to bootmode. Should I run it in safe mode to see if it's an app or? Was wondering if anyone has had some similar experience.
Stock rom, no root.

Is it by chance Google Assistant or just the Google App? Can you post a screenshot of the advertisement your seeing?
If in doubt try factory data resetting the phone. I would suggest this combined with an antivirus/malware scanner (at the very least the latter if you don't plan on factory resetting the phone). A factory data reset basically resets everything back to default and removes all your apps. Set your phone backup, install some sort of antimalware/antivirus app and then pay particular attention to what apps you install. If the issue happens again take note of what apps you installed last/recently (cuz they might be the cause).
Don't do factory reset,download Malwarebytes eecurity,u will get 1 month free,then choose "use deep scanner during full scan" from the settings,it will detect and kill the malware nd adware
Chack the apps with an "overlay permisson"
Got it fixed had running Malwarebytes and Samsung owns antivirus both got nothing, i cleaned Google cache, reset their app data, removed few apps and its gone thankfully, have no idea where it would come.
The picture attached is "Estonian language" but yeah it would close my apps and show the add when I click show recent apps shows "Google play services" and then it immediately deletes itself.
