Restored Email app with backup, now won't connect and crashes - Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Before I installed this new ROM (Liquid Smooth 1.9), I made a system backup using Titanium.
When the new ROM was up and running, I tried the Email client. It asked for my details, so I used Titanium to restore only the Email app user app and system data, in hope it would bring it all back
I am still presented with a login screen after the "restore" but after entering the email address (a Hotmail account) and password, it just checks incoming settings forever.
If I try to add the account manually (Corporate), the app stops responding after I've entered all the manual details and tap Next.
I have forced the app to close and re-opened it, and I have restarted the phone. Same issues.
Any ideas?

Unfortunately I dont have an answer for you. I have the same problem but worse. I restored the 'system' email client. And now after booting the phone freezes completely after about 20 seconds. Who would have thought the email client would be so integral to the system...

Never, ever, restore any system app or system data unless on the exact same version e.g EMG4, even then I wouldn't bother. Restoring from another version will almost certainly break the framework.
Only solution is to wipe and reflash your whole Rom.

It was the same version for my model just blacked out.
Couldnt even restore from Titanium the original app. Email as a sys app?... My Google voice is also sys. Wth?
Anyway I wiped and installed a third party email app. Its the stock rom so I couldnt reflash it.
Either way its ok b/c I like this email app better.
Thanks for the help.

[Q] process com.android.systemui has stopped

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.

EVO3D Root problem from revolutionary method

used team win manual recovery method since revelationary failed me at that stage. I got everything to work, but google (gmail specifically) won't authenticate... is there any simple fix to this problem?
Try clearing the data on the gmail app and rebooting. Or since you have root you can boot into recovery and clear cache and davlik cache and see if that helps. If not then log into your gmail account via pc then try logging into your account on your mobile.

i have two factor authentication turned on and this requires an application specific password to be setup for each instance android wants to log into your google account. when i ran revolutionary, their methods are *secret* so i can't explain why, it reset my google account passwords. with the two factor authentication it took me a little bit longer to create another application specific password for the android device.
otherwise, once you wipe the data folder for gmail, gmail will essentially be clean and restored to a brand new state. all data settings for gmail should be kept on the /data partition in its specific /data/data directory.
worse case scenario, create a nandroid so you have everything backed up and then start removing setting files on /data. best case scenario, you're able to wipe out only gmail settings and it resets it so the point you're able to log in again.
usually, gmail authentication is linked to your google account authentication for the whole android device. contacts, calendars and gmail should all use the same google account authentication. if you're still experiencing issues, you might want to wipe the account settings to allow it to start fresh, which should also be stored on the /data partition.
best of luck!

Gmail Login Failed

I use the HTC mail app to get imap Gmail and Yahoo. Since yesterday I am getting a Login Failure on my Gmail account. Yahoo is still working. I tried re-entering my login and password, but it fails. Is anyone else experiencing this? Anyone have an idea for a fix? Relevant rom/kernel info in sig. Thanks.
try changing your password i have had something similar happen to me and that is how i fixed my problem aslo try and wipe the data in the app and then try you email accounts again
I've had this happen before and changed the password as you suggested and it worked, however, I'd rather not have to change everytime this happens. Also, I cannot clear data or cache even after force stopping the app.
Thanks for your help.
yeah i dont blame you for not wanting to change your password all the time.what does it do when you try to wipe the data?
Might try going into application settings/gmail and clearing the data...worth a shot.
not resolved, wiping everthing, install new rom, reset password...
You could also verify that the settings are correct, go to mail app and setting and account settings and just go through and verify all is well, I myself have had on occasion login issues and going through the settings seemed to cure the issue

Are you using HTC mail apk or the gmail apk? and I assume your data connection is ok.
Signature (Don't ask me for help, couldn't careless if your phone explodes)
HTC mail apk is working well. Facing problem with gmail apk, play store and talk. Data connection is OK
Are all the permissions correct? Did you flash a Rom and this started? or have you been using your current rom for awhile? Do you use titanium backup?
Signature (Don't ask me for help, couldn't careless if your phone explodes)
All permissions are correct. I flashed cooldroid 7.0 after this, that problem is started. Then I went back to CM9 but still nothing happened, reflash Fallout, ICE DS
but nothing. Use titanium backup to restore but it stuck on sync. Infact make a new gmail address but didnt signin. Now when I open Play store from my PC it stuck
on connecting to server.

Gmail keeps losing push sync, stock version or Market version

Hi guys,
Not sure what to do here, I've tried everything.
No matter what, I can't get Gmail to continue push syncing instantly like it should, unless it is untouched after a fresh OS restore or new ROM flash.
The untouched factory version that came with the phone seems to be fine at first, but the minute I update to the latest Market version or restore via Titanium, or anything, it stops doing push syncing. It will only grab new mails if I go in the app and press refresh.
I've tried all the usual fixes, clear data, uninstall/reinstall, make sure the phone's sync/mobile data is on, checked the Gmail and account settings, checked inbox label settings, tried on Wifi and on LTE....NOTHING FIXES IT.
Can someone please help me? Getting frustrated, as one of the above usually always fixes this problem. Currently running stock/rooted/deodexed/debloated rom here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2296109

Google Account disappears, can't add back

Hey,
today I needed to turn off my phone to swap battery. On turning it back on, my Google account wasn't there anymore, a notification said "due to changes to your account you have to sign in again". But signing it just won't do it. It doesn't fail, I come to the accepting terms and conditions, but when accepting the app just closes, the account isn't created so it seems that whatever app is responsible for that just crashes for no reason without any notification. The strange things: in the process I can see only the arrow in the bottom right, not the words "next" or "accept" (at the last page), only when I tap on them I can see them. And I had no accounts.db under /data/system/users/0. Now I have that file via TB restore. And I now see, after reflashing my ROM (by wiping /system, cache and dalvik-cache in TWRP and flashing the ROM) that I also have under /data a system_ce (with accounts_ce.db) and system_de (with accounts_de.db and accounts_de.db-journal), but I don't know if I had them before the TB restore or the ROM reflashing (having english (US) and german (germany) as system languages).
No solution form anywhere else was helpful. I froze AdAway with TB, deleted /system/etc/hosts, deleted data from PlayStore and PlayServices with multiple reboots and the mentioned reflashing, nothing seems to help.
I'm running Emotion ROM based on CM 14.1 on my Note 4 N910F with latest modem and bootloader I can find. Since I don't know how far that could be ROM or CM related, I'm posting that problem here. I have absolutely no problems logging in with my account on my desktop PC via browser, even logging in on google.com from chrome on the phone is no problem. But filling in the infomation either initiated over system settings -> accounts or by opening PlayStore, I pass everything but the account is not under the accounts section and PlayStore would just open again with the login page.
Anyone any idea how to fix it? Here is a logfile of me trying to log in.
UPDATE: Just did a TWRP restore. Did not help! Going to ask Google meanwhile since it might not be a problem with my device...at least if I can find out where to do so.
PS: just looked into my account settings, it seems to recognize that I log in to my device, but that's it. Disconnectiong the device from there and trying again also doesn't work.
