Hi there.
Neebie coming in...
I just got my hands on the SGS2 2 weeks before x-mas. But the last week it has started to jinx... It randomly reboots, the app "Talk" seems to start randomly every 10 minutes or so. Accuweather is extremely eager to show the forecast. I have tried a reset to factory settings, installed Lookout, but it just wont stop.
I can not delete the apps, as i have not rooted the handset. My employer wont allow rooting because of warranty issues.
Have any experienced similiar odd behaviour, and if so, is there something to do, without rooting, and then deleting these apps permanteley, or should i return the handset?

Not heard anything like that before! Will your boss allow you to update the firmware? You can download a stock firmware and update it.
Make sure your signed out of Talk, accuweather, go into settings and set sync to manual if you can.
Enter recovery, volume up + home button + power button and do a reset from there.
Well, my first guess is to do a factory reset.
If you have Google contacts, all your contacts will be backed up so no harm trying.
btw Lookout won't solve anything like this.
If you return the handset the first thing they will do is a factory reset .
Accuweather reads like settings .
Lookout wont help .
I would check for an update on KIES if you have already factory reset .
Failing that its a service centre as you dont want to go down the no warranty fix routes .
jje
I just mentioned lookout incase someone would point out malware etc.
Ill check the firmware thingy.
Cheers

I used the TS3 app before I rooted my phone and it worked fine. I now have root by way of Zedomaxs method, installed TS3, it worked for like 5seconds and now when I open the app I get a blank screen. Anyone else having this issue?

Not specifically familar with this app, but since none of the general troubleshooting steps have been mentioned, I'll throw those out with a hope they'll resolve the issue.
Having been on both sides of this situation, as the user and as the developer, I mention the following suggestions.
First, I'd make a backup before I started experimenting.
If you suspect the issue is related to gaining root access, perhaps "unroot" and see if that fixes the app. Luckily, it is still not the norm for apps to not work on rooted devices.
Otherwise, I'd start with the specific application's data directory, essentially where it stores all its settings/cache. I'd erase this directory, which would be similar to uninstalling/reinstalling the app.
If wiping the app's specific data directory didn't work, I would uninstall/reinstall the app. If that still didn't work, I would reach out to the developers of the specific application and supply them all the troubleshooting steps which have been taken, type of your specific device, and request assistance.
One of the additional pieces of information which can be very helpful for troubleshooting and for developers is a copy of the logcat off the device showing the application and error occurring.
Hope that helps!
Nice checklist! Shortly after posting this I was messing round w/my phone. I pressed my volume up button and noticed that instead of my ringer volume meter I was getting the media volume meter. So I went into my task manager to see what could possibly be running that would be characterized as media and found nothing. Next thing I did was reboot my phone, opened TS3 and everything's fine now. I keep forgetting to reboot my phone after I in/uninstall anything on it. I always do this w/any computer I'm using/working on. Guess the same goes w/phones now. But thanks again for the useful intel!

Hi!
I have a problem.... Instagram have blocked my device. Not my account, because I can log in to it from other devices or via the web, but I can not login using my device or even create any other accounts...
I have rooted S3 with 4.1.2... But I don't want to reset my device to try if that works... I don't even know if that would work?
On iOS there is an option of chaining some kind of keychain file... is there something similar on Android? or there is other options?
Thanks
Have you tried uninstalling it and resinstalling?

of course!
OK... after trying all kind of stuff... even switching to other Android ID using Titanium Pro did't help... so, the olny way I found was reseting device to factory state.
But if some one finds other solution, it would be great if you cold share with us.
Thanks,

nop... There is an solution, but it`s crapy...
I restored the device several times- installed other rooms and so one... They are not bloking the imei, but they are having some file on the phone, that includes the info about the violetion.
So the option is to reset the device to factory settings, install instagram,, opne it... Hit the Sign in button and then go to RAM clearing options- clear RAM memory and switch back to Instagram, but be sure the screen is where you must sign in the username and password and vuola... your in... After signing out, you must do the same thing when you need to sign in with other account or other one or creat new one... as soon as you pres sign in button- clear RAM and then sign in.
at the moment it`s the only solution I found, but have not been seeking for the option to find the file which is responsible for the info about the violetion.
Bump
I'm having same issue :/

still I'm really curious where instagram get's the information about being blocked from, since I changed my Android ID, even created a new Googleaccount and reset everything. The app "LBE Privacy Guard" says Instagram doesn't check the IMEI, but I'm not sure about that.
Instgram has block my phone

I have Samsung Galaxy Advance (i9070) running on JellyBean 4.1.2. I factory reset my phone
but to no avail, I'm still banned in instagram. My device is just banned cause my account works fine in their website
and other devices. How did you get through with your problem @Fabolous93085 ?
My device also blocked my phone. How can I fix this?

My problem solved!
Hello everyone who have the same problem with me. My S grand2 disabled too, but my instagram still active, i can still login on other device/bluestacks.
Now, I have solution about this after instagram make me confuse for a couple of weeks.
I tried this on my Android Device (SGrand2), just install app called IMAGINE for Instagram. You can google it. Or i recommend to download from onhax web with search keyword "imagine". (sorry i still can't post link)
Once installed you can login from that app not from instagram official app. And the good news, you also get some new features there.
Thanks! Hope it can solve your problem.
And don't forget to follow my ig @denny.ri

I need help, I've been looking through forums and forums, skimming to no resolve. I didn't want to ask for help but alas i am here, on my knees, please, anybody, help me
alright enough with the dramatics
about a month ago i had the bright idea to root my phone, at the time i was on me7. done with very little problems, all of which were solved.
I download a few root apps, including freedom (allowing you to make iap for free) and an app that allows your phone to download apps from another country, like the app market enabler but that wasn't the one i was using .
ota mi1 comes out and naturally through my excitement i update with out reading forums about what may happen to my phone, nor do i reset the market info back to Verizon usa.
now that im on mi1 my root is broken but the phone works properly minus 2 situations i have no access to google play market, every attempted to access the market is thwarted with a warning "unfortunately, Google play store has stopped" and all i can do is press OK. the other is that i have the custom boot screen when i turn on my phone.
i deal with this small inconvenience for a few weeks, slowly growing more irritated and my own stupidity.
Verizon then releases OTA MJ7 and up naturally update. no difference. I was hoping at least the market would work again
so i take matters in to my own hands (again) and try to hard reset my phone. market still no works, custom still exists
i try a few other things but no changes. finally i turn to odin and try to flash a stock restore. but the odin fails the second i press start.
I throw my hands in the air and run away screaming. im frustrated and need help, is there anything i can do to get the market to work and the phone back to stock

A great help! thank you so much, being a noob to all this has been overwhelming and interesting so I'm very happy you came along and helped me out.
my phone is almost back to normal, im assuming there's no way to get around the custom boot screen is there?
regardless if there is or not, thank you again for your help
Hello,
I like to see myself as a very advanced user of ADB.
I usualy debloat my devices very extreme. 99% of the time it goes without issues. I have had some issues but ive managed to resolve them by myself. However now im running into a problem and I really dont wanna do a factory reset so I turn to the famous XDA forum.
On my S23 Ultra when i change the wallpaper of my phone the background works but lockscreen is unable to change. The background and style app keeps crashing when I do that.
I reinstalled com.samsung.android.app.dressroom but this did not resolve the issue.
I reinstalled com.android.wallpaperbackup but this also did not resolve my issue.
I have Wallpapercropper and wallpaper.res also installed.
I feel like im missing something, maybe something i deleted that has a service thats directly connected to this. But im clueless to which one that would be. Can anyone maybe post a list of all services needed for the dressroom app to function properly?
This is exactly why I use PackageDisabler Cloud version, so I can disable and reenable on the fly with out a PC. I've been using adb since the TMobile G1 too but it has it's limitations.
I have used that in the past but i prefer adb through command prompt. But this still does not help the issue at hand. Anyone have a solution?
I use ADB app control. Yes you need a computer but it shows you everything you have disabled and you can enable with a click. I would just enable everything and start there. Package disabler sucked in the past getting charger over and over again, half the time you had to factory reset to get it off your device. Maybe it changed. But that developer will never get anymore of my money
3 options:
1.) Enable all the apps you have disabled, one by one until the issue is fixed
2.) adb logcat to see why the app crashes
3.) factory reset

Not the same as it used to be. Been using it since the Note 10 and have done numerous FDR's on the Note 10, Note 20 and Fold 4 and never had to pay again!
Have you tried using a different launcher, like Nova?
