Freezing and Force closes

I'd just commented on how I love this phone because of how fast and smooth it is. An hour or so later, I pull my phone out to take a picture and it locks up completely, the Camera FC after about 5 minutes but then it lagged like made and literally made the phone unusable.
Holding power button did nothing, button wouldn't react but if they did it took a few minutes to register the press but then did nothing anyway.
Obviously, with not being able to remove the battery, this made things difficult to reset the phone. In the end I found that holding Up on the volume button and the power button did a reset.
The phone rebooted and seemed ok but then a few seconds later it did the same thing. Even on Home screen, scrolling along froze the phone then Xperia Activity FC'd. Some of my picutres appeared corrupt so I deleted them assuming it was those causing the issue, but I'm still getting the same problem.
Last night I restarted the phone and put it on charge and it seems fine this morning.
Out of desperation, I downloaded AVG to scan the phone. I also downloaded ATK and killed anything that didn't have a use to see if that helped the phone but it did it after that too.
Anyone else had this? It started to P me off last night. The phone nearly went out the window!
It's on T-Mobile (UK) and currently using their stock ROM.
Try a factory reset.
Factory Reset will be my last resort. I hate having phones/tablets set up how I like them only to have to do it all over again!
Anyway, since I rebooted it and charged it up, it's been fine. Will have to see how it goes.

Safe mode

Hello.
Last night I was riding my bike through São Paulo. Then I passed into a pothole. I was listening to the radio. After that, the radio turned off. I didn´t stop to solve the issue. When I arrived to my destination, I took my mobile and it was on a safe mode. Some of my apps wasn´t on the desktop at all. Yes, I rebooted and everything went well.
But my question is: what is, how can I acess and what the purpose of the safe mode?
I'm trying the old methods by holding menu and home or just menu while it's booting and can't get into safe mode so they must have changed the key combo, but anyway Safe mode is the same as on Windows so you can boot up if you get stuck in a boot loop and need to fix it.
I see, thanks for trying. But I want to understand what happen last night!
Your best bet is to Google Android + safe mode. The same thing happened to me yesterday, but it happened after trying to open a website while I only had a bad connection only at Edge.. Apparently there's a belief that there may have been a corrupt app installed & yesterday there were a bunch of new app updates from Google, so maybe just the amount of updates caused one to get corrupted?
After rebooting twice, everything came back, except that the widgets on the desktop failed to load.
Rather than mess around I just did a nandroid restore (I do a nandroid backup almost every night & then delete the older ones every few days).

[Help] Freeze on notification

Hi everyone,
I've been lurking for the past year or so, but now I got a problem of my own and I hope I can solve it with your help.
For a while now, almost every time, I picked up the phone, tried to check mail, or do something, and it wouldn't do anything. It seemed like it was turned off, except I couldn't turn it on by pressing the power key. It wouldn't react to touching the screen, menu button, plugging in headphones, the USB cable, pressing hardware buttons, sending myself a mail/sms, or calling myself, the alarm didn't go off (especially troublesome), it was, for all intents and purposes, completely frozen, until I removed and reinserted the battery. Then, I could normally turn it on and it seemed like everything was in order and a new message or email (in the account that triggers a notification) was waiting for me.
This started after I upgraded to ICS (official). I also rooted the phone with CF-Root. Everything was working fine, except for these freezes.
Last week, I had enough and I did a factory reset. After that, it seemed to be ok, until 2 days ago, when I flashed it with ICS 4.0.4 and rooted it again. It was fine for 2 days, today it started freezing again. I did not install any new apps - all the apps were (re)installed immediately after the flashing.
I *did* have some problems with the camera (I couldn't see what I was shooting, I found out that it's probably a wrong version of CF-root, so I reflashed that, problem persisted, I reflashed just the kernel of official 4.0.4 and the problem disappeared. This is all I did before I noticed the problem again.
I would think that it might be because of the SD card, some app or something else, but to the best of my observing, it ONLY happens, when a notification should be triggered - instead, the phone freezes.
Any ideas?
Thanks,
Ben
i think your RAM is on its maximum level, try cleaning your RAM once in a while.. go to your Task Manager (if you're on a stock firmware)

[Q] S II 'soft' reboot

Apologies in advance for the potentially vague description, but I also cannot find a solution elsewhere on the forum.
Earlier today, I was watching a YouTube video and then I locked my phone and left it to charge whilst I went downstairs (as I often do). When I returned roughly an hour later, I found the screen on, which I only ever do if I've left Draw Something open, or some similar app - but it was on the lock screen.
(none of that is necessarily important, I just wanted to clear up the "what did you do to make it start rebooting" question)
Anyway, after unlocking the phone, the screen went to black and the phone restarted.
However, it wasn't a "real" reboot, because the boot screen didn't come up, etc. It's just like just the UI is restarted. I can usually use the phone for about 30 seconds at a time. This seems extended when I have flight mode on, and is even longer still when I have the phone locked.
I've uninstalled some potentially-offending apps, removed the SD card, cleared some apps' data, but to no avail.
I'm using default 4.0.4 from Samsung. The only issues I'd had with it until now were that some apps crashed occasionally, but I attributed that mainly to the apps themselves.
The most annoying thing for me is that is seems like it's an issue that can be fixed quite simply, without having to uninstall every app or factory reset the phone.
Anyone have any other ideas as to what I could do? Thanks!

[Q] [ZTE-Nubia Z5S] Unfortunately, System UI has stopped.

I bought the Nubia Z5s a year ago when I was living in China for half a year. the phone worked fin for me until about last march. At that point the screen simply stopped working. I disregarded the phone for a while and started using my old HTC One X again.
About a month ago I ordered a new screen for the phone from china, and installed it. All went well, the phone turn on again nog problem. I turned the phone on for the first time last Sunday afternoon. Put the SIM card in on Monday morning at around 8 AM before I left for work (I did use the WiFi on Sunday to download apps and such).
At exactly the moment I turned on my SIM (phone and data) the phone gave an error message: "Unfortunately, SystemUI has stopped". It gives me the options OK and Report, but both options do not end the endless appearance of the message. After a few reboots, and switching back to Airplane mode I got the phone to work again. I then searched the internet, and it told me to delete my Cache Partition. Now I use Stock Mod (with google services) so I have no idea how to use CWM nor do I know how to boot this phone into recovery mode (tried a few combinations). So I just went into the Settings>Apps menu and started clearing specific app caches. That seemed to work, did not get the error again.
The next day, again around 8 AM the same thing happened. This time the message was more persistent, harder to get rid of. Took me a dozen reboots and connection top my laptop to clear the message. Wednesday, same thing happened, again around 8 AM. Tried updating to latest version of the software, worked for a day.
Yesterday (Thursday) again around 8 AM same message. This time it would not go away. tried for over 3 hours. Reboots, connecting to PC, the whole works. So I tried a factory reset (did not erase data) worked, again for a day. 8 AM this morgning (Friday). same error message. Not been able to get rid of it yet. So I am guessing there is some corrupt app or service running every day around 8 AM (not a big believer in coincidence ). Is there any way to find out what process is causing this error? Or does anybody know something else I can try?
EDIT: I am able to preform some actions on the phone between the OK clicking (about a tap/swipe per time)
Tried resetting phone with erasing phone data this time. Still didn't work. Now trying reset without installing Google Services Framework. Am trying to determine if the phone has a problem with my service provider.
