Yesterday, my copy and paste functionality stopped working in all apps. I'm able to select text and press the copy button, but whenever I try to long press and paste the text, I either get a popup that says "clipboard" or nothing happens. In Chrome, even attempting to copy something causes the application to freeze. Rebooting and clearing dalvik cache does not help. I'm running stock ROM, rooted, latest update. Is this happening to anyone else?
I found a couple of other threads where this happened to other people on other devices running ICS, but their solution was to either install a new ROM or do a hard reset. I'm hoping there's an easier solution than that. Here are the other threads:

Well that's not good. Thanks for linking that thread, though. Like the other posters, I really don't want to do a hard factory reset. I'm considering re-flashing the update file to see if that fixes it. I'll report back

I have flashed a few mods on top of the root66 image.
1. stock Samsung boot image: http://www.mediafire.com/?m6urrypvx2c156p
2. Wifi toggle: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1775235
3. Sound mod to remove boot/camera sound: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=27741216&postcount=54
Just to see if I could figure out this issue I flashed the original stock image, then performed a factory reset. Problem solved at that point, as expected. I then re-flashed the root66 image, and tested copy/paste at that point with no issues. I'm going to go through flashing those individual mods and see if I can figure out where it might be breaking.

Thanks. Let me know if any of the mods break it again. The only thing I did recently that was out of the ordinary was run a voodoo report. Not sure if that had anything to do with it.
I've had the same issue also. I remember it was working fine for awhile and then it stopped working. When i have time tonight, I might do a factory reset to see if it fixes it.
You might want to look into what apps you have installed. I wouldn't doubt there's some app conflict that's causing all of this.

I'm sure a reset will fix it. But I'm trying to avoid it since it's such a pain in the @ss
The only app I installed since this started happening was voodoo report. Which has since been uninstalled.

Doesn't look like any of those mods broke it. A couple of things I forgot to mention I had originally done:
- Performed the SQLite Editor change to get rid of the persistent Wifi notification
- Used Any Cut to disable the annoying Wifi popup when certain apps were open
- Flashed beans rom for the extra Dropbox space and then flashed back to root66
It's a fair amount of work to get this fixed, especially depending on how customized you've gotten, but I can verify that a factory reset will fix this. At this point I have re-flashed everything minus the beans rom and loaded up all my original apps with data, and copy/paste is working like a champ. If you're motivated enough to do it I would recommend backing up everything with Titanium and doing the factory reset.
Also, it's highly likely that flashing back to stock is unnecessary. You should be able to do the factory reset on root66. Again, do a recovery backup and a full TiBu backup just to be safe. Good luck!

Could it be an issue with Beans ROM? That's what I'm running right now. I still haven't had time to do a reset or reflash the ROM.

I was on Booster Shot, did a backup in recovery, complete wipe and modified wipe, flashed Cool ICS ROM, wanted to go back, so I restore my backup from recovery, and now 4G (Wimax) is busted. It gets stuck at "obtaining IP address from Sprint" and goes no further. Any idea of how I can fix this?
Did you do a wipe before restoring your backup? Restoring a backup on top of a different Rom could cause issues like this. Try going into recovery and flash a super wipe like Chad's and then restore your backup.

I had that happen to me as well. I fixed it by entering ##3282# in the dialer, then going to edit mode (you'll need your msl). Then go in to WiMAX and reset the realm to sprintpcs.com. (even if it already says that, just re enter it). Then in the top right corner it sys save I think, or commit or something. Just make sure to save and commit. Then it should reboot. For me, 4g worked after that on more than one occasion. It's been happening after changing Roms.

I finally fixed the issue after a clean wipe and fresh install of everything. However, according to what someone else suggested to me in another forum I posted this question as well to see if peeps there had an idea of what the issue was, it was mentioned issues in restoring data from an ODEX ROM to a DEODEX ROM, and vice versa I suppose, and this is what I did. Booster Shot is ODEX. Cool ICS is DEODEX. I'm sure that is where the problem fell.
Thank you both for your assistance. All is well now!

Odex to Deodex (and vice versa) data restores cause problems even using the same Rom if the dev changes from one to the other.

So I have a fairly new Blue 9300 and it was working fine and then started not responding to my finger on the lock screen. Then I would try to use the power button to cycle the screen on and off and it wont work. Sometimes I can hold the power button and get the power off menu to appear and then sometimes it will respond and let me reset.
First Question: Anyone else have this?
Second: I think it may be due to flashing so is there a superwipe I can try?

Not too much. Rooted it busybox super user. That's it. I did do a full backup from my white 9300 and restored to the blue 9300 but have since reflashed stock everything from Odin and still have bug. I restored through MyBackup Pro after the Odin reflash. I was hoping for some kind of super wipe to try and one last restore and then this bad boy is going back to Sammy I think :crying:
Edit
Mybackup restore was just call logs and sms mms no apps.
try a complete fresh Odin flash with no restore of anything and see how that goes, then if you are going to do a restore do a bit at a time if all is good, and see if that gives you any indication of where the problem may lie

Ok so I'm guessing no super wipe yet for sgs3. Never got the point of them but now I wouldn't mind. Should I do a factory reset and then odin restore? I think part of the issue was that I didn't do a reset before the Odin flash before. All My info was still there after Odin except my root haha
there is a super wipe app over in general, just be aware that this wipes sd card as far as I know

Ok I'm back to using the it (it's my loved pebble blue that I hunted down ) and it seems fine only issue I am now getting is a not responding on the Messaging app. This is kinda weird as this is one of the things I did restore. It happened right after the restore. When I go into the messaging app it does the same thing and force closes.
"Process system isnt responding. Do you want to close it?
wait report ok
I get this message ALOT on all the JB roms out there now; it happens after a reboot/restart, and if I click ok, things seem to work normally after a few seconds...

wiping data will mean you have to reinstall your rom

Hello,
this problem happens to me too for a few day now.
System not responding at every boot, but everything seems normal.
when i flash a new nightlie and it reboots, i do not get this message. But after i reboot again it reapears.
after a search i found this, there: http://www.modaco.com/topic/359832-devrom152-cyanogenmod-101-android-422/
its for zte blade
[DEV][ROM][15.2.] CyanogenMod 10.1 (Android 4.2.2)
"11.2.2013 changelog:
reverted commits (1,2) that caused 'Process system isn't responding' issue on every reboot"
(the comits have something to do with the new FM stuff in the rom)
Maybe someone want to have a look at it?
I can not post in the official CM10.1-galaxysmtd thread yet.

Hello Again,
The problem is gone for me i found out that it has something to do either with the Theme i was using, or/and the Launcher. Because i first switched my Launcher (Nova Launcher) to the Stock one (Trebuchet) (merely just because i did not know how i should fix that problem) then at the after the first reboot with stock launcher the problem was gone, but came back after i rebooted again. So i changed my Theme (JellyBeanExtreme) and the problem did not appear again "knockin´3x on wood^^"
Maybe this can help someone who had or will have this problem.
Greetings,
Strainhunter

Eh, nope. That would be if you wiped your system. Wiping data will take away all your apps and customizations, but will leave the ROM intact (remember: "ROM" = "Read-Only Memory").
IMO if you want to start anew as a first level troubleshoot, it's much easier to wipe cache/dalvik/SYSTEM, then reflash your ROM and GAPPS. This has solved my problems about 90% of the time, especially when I've installed a mod my phone doesn't like, or done something stupid while messing around in /system/.

It is absolutely the themes that do this. However, from what I read up on it there is literally nothing actually going wrong with the device except for a teeny couple of extra seconds on boot up (which can supposedly be rectified by hitting "Wait" instead of "Stop" or whatever it says.
Actually, I even remember them saying that the mere fact that you're getting the error message means that it's installed correctly.. Something about the stock framework not liking being modified.

ya...i noticed nothing was really wrong while getting the error, it just bug me that i was getting that little pop up window. i would hit "wait" or "cancel" and it didnt seem to make a difference, it would go away and that was it. once in a while it would pop back up when getting a text or call, before i could answer the call i had to click it to make it go away to be able to answer. so i decided not to use the theme and not worry about that error.....so would it be any theme or just some themes? maybe ill try other themes and see what happens.....
Just doing a sanity check: using TiBu to restore system data should work (in theory) so long as you restore data that has been backed up from the same ROM, correct?
Thanks for any help.
EDIT: Having power key problems, please see posts #3 and #16 for updated information.
In case it really backs up and restores EVERYTHING - theoretically you're right.
Practically, I'm not sure it's the case. Since you're restoring while running a ROM, I'm not sure you can get everything to exactly the same state.
Thanks for your help, but this question was hiding a bigger one.
So until today, my phone has been working just fine. I'm still running an old, now outdated and unsupported ROM: ShirshirROM pre-alpha ICS. It's been my daily driver for almost a whole year now, works perfectly with Entropy's old ICS kernel.
Yesterday, I got tired of shell errors with Superuser (which I had been dealing with since the latest binary update), so I finally switched to SuperSU. Everything seemed to work fine afterwards, though I noticed some trouble with the power button being a little wonky, i.e. showing up the power menu when I hadn't pressed it or not immediately responding.
Today, my power button doesn't work correctly at all. I tried wiping cache, dalvik, then restoring a Nandroid of the same ROM/Kernel combo from way earlier this year. Key test in CWM also shows that all buttons register when pressed, EXCEPT the power one. Otherwise phone functions are perfect; I can make calls, send/receive texts, etc, I just have to plug in my phone or have something happen for the screen to turn on, and then I have access to everything. My question is, is this (God forbid) a hardware failure? That would be my worst nightmare, seeing as I'm almost exactly one full year out from contract renewal, and I don't have a lot of money to spend on a new one, nor do I have nowhere near enough expertise to try to fix it myself. What can I do?
P.S. The TiBu question was because in case the Nandroid fixed the problem, I could just restore contacts and SMS from TiBu since it is the same ROM, and be back up and running immediately.
P.P.S. As mentioned, I can get into CWM. This is done by pulling battery, sticking it in, and holding all physical keys until boot screen shows twice. But I can't use the power key to select any options, I have to use home. And key test shows the power button not registering. I'm hoping that that means power key may still work, but that's just me praying this is fixable.
So this problem didn't occur at all prior to installing supersu ?

No, as far as I recall. I'm not using supersu anymore since I'm on a Nandroid but power button still doesn't work. I have to find alternate ways of activating the screen, like plugging it into a charger or pulling the battery to restart :/

After full wiping, if the problem is fixed I should be able to restore the Nandroid from earlier this year without retriggering it, right? Or is that out of the question now?

So I backed up stuff, then went ahead and flashed bone stock using the Odin3 One-Click from 2a in creepy's guide. I can't get past the initial setup wizard though, because Google Services Framework (process com.google.process.gapps), Calendar Storage (process.com.android.providers.calendar), and other Google apps processes keep force closing when I click the Android to start. I was able to boot into stock e3 recovery (again using three-button combo), but I can't select anything using the power key.
I didn't do a full data wipe/factory reset before flashing, and I can't get to the main menus to do so because my phone won't get past the setup wizard, which keeps crashing. What do I try next?
EDIT: I know that I was able to make selections using a CWM-enabled ICS kernel; home key functioned as select. I have the CWM-flashable zip, and I wanted to know if there's anyway to flash this kernel using Odin. I know it won't boot (custom ICS kernel with Gingerbread stock rom), but if I can get into recovery, I can use the home key to do a full data wipe/factory reset, then I'd Odin stock kernel+ROM again and see if that fixes things. So my question is, how do I flash a CWM-zipped kernel in Odin? (You can tell I never use Odin)
EDIT2: I'd still like to know how I can flash a CWM-zipped kernel in Odin, but I'm gonna hold off on it as it would trip the counter and I found out my phone is still under warranty, hooray! They're sending a refurb'ed replacement that should be here in a couple days, I can test that out and see if I can get me up and running again before I decide to do something really rash like trip the counter. It sucks cause I'm going out of town on Thursday but the replacement is arriving Friday, and I won't be back until next Wednesday. I'm stuck using my old iPhone 3G until then :/
I do know you can't flash this from Odim. You'll need another kind of file. Tar file... I don't remember.
Don't know where to find it.
I don't think you should back to stock. Just wipe and formating everything could test it.
Find an app that allow you to get recovery from android like rom toolbox lite.
Download mrRobinson AeSedai Aroma.
After formating and wiped everything, flash your rom and don't get out of recovery. Flash AeSedai just after. Flash gapps and KERNEL from AeSedai.
Must be an cm10 or aokp rom... Any rom from that source.

After formating and wiped everything, flash your rom and don't get out of recovery. Flash AeSedai just after. Flash gapps and KERNEL from AeSedai.
Must be an cm10 or aokp rom... Any rom from that source.

How would I format and wipe everything if I can't get past the setup wizard on bone stock 2.3.4? I can't install apps, make calls or texts, nothing. All I can do is select the language and make emergency calls. I can't wipe in stock e3 recovery either because the power button doesn't work.
I need a way to either Odin a kernel from which I can use the home button to make selections, or find some other way to remotely format and wipe my phone. Is there a way for me to put my phone in USB debugging mode so I can maybe use ADB? I can't access the settings menu...
Don't u use home button to select things in stock recovery?

Nah, it's power key. I double checked again this morning. Oh, and I guess it's called 3e recovery, not e3 xD.
One other note, when pulling battery, then putting it back in, phone autoboots. I have to hold buttons then place battery in to boot to recovery, and for download mode, I have to have it plugged in, buttons held, then place battery in to get to download mode.
EDIT: Would anyone be willing to do me a huge favor? I want to find out if Entropy's DD GB kernel, the Odin-flashable tar one, can use home as select in CWM. Would someone be willing to temporarily flash DD_01242012 from here to check for me? It's a CWM zip, the changes are very tiny between it and the previous 01232012 Odin one. I just don't want to Odin it myself and trip the counter to find out it was useless, especially since I don't have a jig to reset the counter.
So an update:
While looking around for a way to root my new refurb model which came shipped with stock ICS, I found creepy's Stock ICS with root package, and I thought, "I told AT&T I was on ICS, I guess I should actually put ICS on my phone instead of leaving GB (UCKH7) on there. Maybe since I was on ICS before I can get past the gapps force closing too and do a factory reset from the settings menu." Sure enough, after flashing stock ICS, I was able to get past the darn wizard and toy with it. I do have problems of course: calendar still force closes, and the phone will randomly reboot after some period of using it. But at least I was able to access stuff.
My data was all still there, all pictures, contacts, settings, etc. I realized that before I do a data wipe/factory reset, I should heed the emmc superbrick bug warning and NOT do that with stock ICS kernel. I still had ES file explorer and root access, so I went in and manually deleted all data as much as possible, to make it look like my phone did have a factory reset done as I said to the AT&T representative. I've deleted wifi access points, browser history/cookies/cache, all contacts, texts, pictures/videos, downloads, all CWM zips and backups, all installed apps, all accounts that were signed in...
My newest questions are:
1) is there anything I'm missing that I should delete so that my phone does not look like it's been modified in any way? Also, any personal data I'm missing that needs to be deleted? I still have root access so I can delete anything I want.
2) Should I go ahead and risk the brickbug and actually do a factory reset/data wipe, or should I just let it be since I've deleted most things manually (and not potentially send them a useless brick lol)? Actually, since I'm rooted, I can install Mobile Odin to flash a CWM-enabled kernel, then wipe data/factory reset safely from there; that is, assuming my phone doesn't do a random reboot in the middle of flashing the kernel. I do run the risk of it rebooting while flashing and possibly bricking something else. So should I do that and take that risk, should I take the risk of wiping data from the stock kernel, or is there no reason to take either risk anymore?
3) Is there anywhere I can find a non-rooted stock UCLE5 ICS Odin-flashable tar, that I can flash before sending the phone back?
How about:
1. Flash back to stock GB
2. Wipe Data
3. Upgrade to stock ICS via kies or OTA

Thanks for your help, but I can't do that. If I could, I wouldn't be stuck in this predicament.
Power key doesn't work at all, but it is necessary to make selections in stock 3e recovery. Hence, I can't wipe from recovery, either on stock GB or ICS.
Stock GB rom doesn't boot past Setup Launcher due to gapps force-closes. These force closes prevent me from reaching the settings menu within stock GB to do a wipe there.
My two options for wiping data are using stock ICS ROM (under settings menu), or flashing a custom kernel using Mobile Odin, then wiping with the home key in CWM. Both are risky: stock ICS ROM uses the stock kernel to wipe, possible brickbug there. My phone currently experiences random reboots without warning; a reboot during a Mobile Odin flash could also brick something. My question is, should I do either one, or neither at all?
What about wiping through ADB?
Adb shell
Wipe data
Or
Adb recovery --wipe-data

Well, that previously wasn't an option on GB since I couldn't put the phone in debugging mode, but I can now in ICS so in theory it should work. The question now is, will the phone do one of its random reboots while I'm working with it in ADB...

Hello everyone, Forgive me if I seem a bit flustered, but I am. I was adding a few fonts with an app from the play store. It would restart after each fine, and there was no issue. On the final one, it restarted, but then got hung up for 10 minutes on the ATT logo. I have restarted it with the power button numerous times now, and it has done nothing different. I have only rooted the phone, I have no custom recovery or anything. I booted into the LG stock recovery, canceled the reset, and it still hung up at the ATT logo.
What might have happened, and how can I fix this? I would rather not hard reset, but if I have to, I have to. Please respond with anything at all that might help me. I'm using my old GSII right now, and the newer sim doesn't fit quite right in it. I can make calls and stuff, but i want to get back on the OG as fast as possible. PLEASE respond with anything helpful. Thanks.
I am running stock Jellybean (The initial jellybean we got, I think it was 4.1.1), rooted. No custom roms, no custom recovery.
UPDATE: I did a factory reset (by holding power and volume down). It is still doing the same thing. It gets to the ATT logo and plays the music "Dee dee dee dee 'click'", then stops. Nothing more happens. At all. I've let it sit for a while and nothing is happening. So now the question is, how can I save it with that in mind?

Sound like you need to use LGNPST or use a teenybin then flash a custom ROM. Factory reseting ( I think) only clears out the /data partition which is where all user and app data is saved. If something in the /system partition is not allowing it to boot, that is why the factory reset didn't work. To fix you have to restore the /system partition back to stock.
To do so, flash a full bin. Which will reset the phone to complete stock (no root, no unlocked bootloader).
Or you can flash a teenybin. Which is smaller and safer. Flashing a teenybin unlocks the bootloader and puts a custom recovery. From there you can just flash a new ROM.

Thanks. Do you know if there's an accurate guide on how to do the teenybin? It's been ages since I've done anything more than root, and I'm not sure what to search for.

The directions to use the Teenybin are in the OP found here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2230994
The hardest part is getting LGNPST working properly. But that's easy now thanks to the auto install.
Did u fix your phone?
Going to assume teeney bin worked for op. It did for me when I had issues

Apologies all, yes I got it working... Mostly. WiFi quit working completely (refused to connect), phone calls took forever to go through, and other odd issues. I'm running it off an old backup of ICS on my external SD. The issues were too much for me to handle, and I was scared to do anything more, so I've got a Moto x. I'm going to try to correctly fix the OG now, so hopefully by documenting the process I can help someone else.

i was scared to use teenybin like you but 4.4 lured me into trying. Give teenybin a try its not that bad. you just need to install it, download the teenybin, launch the program, boot your phone into download mode and run the program with the dll and bin files selected.

I used the Teenybin. It worked enough so I could install my backup. The OS got wiped completely, so I think the kernel just couldn't handle all the stuff it had to anymore.
