[Q] Lock Screen Settings Crash - Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi guys, a beginner here. I have a pressing question here. I run a GT-I9300 on Android 4.1.1 (just rooted). Not running any custom ROM at the moment. Kernel is 3.0.31 - 288630. Build number is XXDLJ1. Baseband is XDLI5.
The problem I have is that when I want to customise my Lock Screen setting (please see screen shot),
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
, it crashes and tells me "Unfortunately, Settings has stopped working." .
I have done Factory Reset TWICE haha and for a while, it works. Then, it reverts to type again. I only had this phone for 5 days now. I love the screen with Gorilla Glass and I can customise the Home & Lock Screen a lot (I used to have an iPhone 4) but the OS seems very unstable at this point of time.
Any advice would be much appreciated!

Try clearing the data of settings under settings->applications->all there is two things to do with settings clear the data of them both and then restart your phone. That's helped for me before.

[Q] Issues after getting HyDrOG3N 4.0.4

Hey there everyone.
I have an issue after upgrading from 2.3.7 to HyDrOG3N's 4.0.4.
Previously, I was using some features of GO Launcher. Including the screenlock.
Now, after upgrading to 4.0.4, I realized I don't need GO Launcher as Android 4.0 gives a lot of the same features, so I removed it. But I still got this when I turn on the screen:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
Any combination will work to open this screenlock, and I can't seem to manage to remove it!!!
I tried searching all options and settings.
Would appreciate some help.
Using only the rom, no additional launchers or screenlocks (unless it somehow passed with TitaniumBackup, I didn't find any)
Thanks!
Go into settings>security and change the screen lock, if that doesn't work you probably have to go back to 2.3.7 and remove the pattern lock and then install your new rom.

[Q] HELP with ParanoidAndroid 3+!

device info:
Sony Ericsson Xperia J
model #: St26i
android version: 4.1.2
build: 11.2.A.0.21
unlocked bootloader + rooted.
Hi. Just recently flashed ParanoidAndroid 3+ on my phone. But I am having some issues with it. The biggest issue was It seems I can't access to HYBRID SETTINGS. When I tried to apply some settings, it says reboot, I reboot, after reboot, nothing changes, nothing happened. I wanted to change the size/resolution because its too small but its not working. I am having a hard time hitting the options due to small fonts/resolution. 2nd issue was I can't send SMS because it says service not available.. What's wrong with my phone?:s Did I do something wrong upon installation with ParanoidAndroid?
Here are some screenshots of what I have been takling about:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
it is not what i expect to look like. As you can see only the PA colors has a description.
see?its too small.
As you can see, the size setting is set to 0. which is too small. when i try to move the button to right to change size, it won't move :/
the system says, cant send SMS due to unavailable service..
I really hope someone would help me because Iwould really like to use ParanoidAndroid for my device :crying:

2nd Gen XT1526 frp

Okay, I have searched everywhere online and can't Gina anything that is related to my issue. Keep in mind I do not own a pc please. I have a Moto E 2nd Gen (XT1526).
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
When I first got the phone I tried booting it up to quickly find that frp had been activated. I followed a few tutorials online and I actually got into the phone and can see all settings, but when I go to factory reset the phone via menu the option to confirm is greyed out
I can access everything in the settings I believe but cannot directly go to another application from the home screen. Half the time the menu and home button aren't even visible on the nav bar. If I create a guest account I can utilize everything ion the phone including home screen but cannot edit user settings that I would call "main settings". I will post pictures on order of how I even got to this point. Any help is hugely welcomed. Thanks in advance!
next step I was just getting out of the way
Now we have access to settings!
Please Help!

Would you know how this affect battery?
ONE GR8 8
Still no, I setup it today and I had half battery already. Will see from tommorow.
I installed the update but now it keeps crashing, making the phone freeze completely for a short period. Anyone know of a way to roll back?

Galaxy Tab S3 is not fine - how to reset it the proper way?

Hello everyone,
my GFs Galays Tab S3 has an issue. A couple of days ago it reacted strangely, crashed, rebooted and was stuck multiple times in reboot.
Acutally my girlfriend couldn't even login because it rebooted again before it could load the OS. It has stock ROM, no root, everything in original state.
Once after reboot there was the screen that a custom OS can cause critical problems:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
At one point she could reset it and at the beginning it worked properly. After setting up the accounts, WIFI etc. it started again to reboot. Now you can login but after a while there will be another reboot. So actually it's not possible to really do anything with the tablet.
What do you think is broken in the tablet and how can I fix it?
Would it make sense to use another ROM?
Thanks and best regards
The screen you posted is the download mode, which you would use for odin
I would try to flash the stock firmware with odin. This will wipe the device and you'll lose any data on it., so be forewarned.
Alternately, if you can get into recovery, you could try a factory reset, this will also wipe the device.
If the problem continues it's probably some corrupt memory which can't be fixed.
