I have had my Z5C E5823 since January, and was pretty happy with it - It would occasionally crash (maybe once a month?) which I was fine with - I figure nothings perfect.
I recently got the update for 6.0.1 pushed to my device and downloaded/installed it without issue. I started noticing right away that it would crash on random apps multiple times a day. I can be writing a text, borwsing the store, and get an error similar to:
"Unfortunately messaging has stopped"
"System UI has stopped"
"Google Play Store has stopped"
etc.
It doesnt seem isolated to one app, or to any one function as far as I can tell, but it is pretty frustrating to have this problem 3-4 times a day.
My carrier is T-Mobile, and I dont have many apps installed. None of the apps have changed since I updated to the newest software.
Has anyone else had this issue and know of a fix? This is borderline unusable, and I am almost ready to void my warranty and root the device to fix it...
I suggest trying a factory restore first.

Did the factory reset, and its been ok for a few days, but I got the same messaging has stopped and System UI has stopped error and had to restart again yesterday.
I have been getting the SystemUI error many many times lately. I am rooted and using XPower with androplus kernel with xposed so I figure some there is messing me up.
Although, I distinctly remember sometimes being prompted to enter my pin when trying my fingerprint (a sign that systemui has restarted) long before I rooted so maybe something else is causing this issue.

I am not rooted, but with all the issues I am considering it - although in my experience rooting leads to LESS stability, not more...
On the other hand, maybe there is some stock Sony app that is causing all my issues that I can't get rid of (What's New, etc.).
Its a bummer because I love so much about the phone - only cons are these system UI shutdowns and a slow camera shutter (not that big a deal for me).
Has anyone had any luck with a stable ROM? something to push me over the edge to rooting it?
Don't root, don't unlock your bootloader.
Download flashtool and the latest firmware release, clear everything (You will lose all your data) and reinstall fresh, see how the results are.
That should do the trick, if not you can consider BL unlock.

This is exactly what I did, and results are better, but still not stable...My phone still crashes once a day or so.

Did you try another firmware version?
If you have the same results **** it and send it back for warranty, my z5c never crashes.

Quick update, I did a factory reset first, that didnt seem to help, but then did a factory reset immediately followed by a software repair, and the phone has worked well for about 2 weeks with no shutdowns - fingers crossed this good fortune continues.

It seems that many, if not all, of the apps I try to 'update' in the Android market generates an error on the Prime that says 'Application already exists' in the menu bar with an ! icon. This is annoying... I can uninstall / reinstall the app to get an update, but whenever I just click update in the Market, I get this error a lot.
Of course the application already exists! I'm updating it. Stupid Prime.
Does anyone have a fix for this? I searched the forum and didn't see anyone mention this annoying problem.
Are you getting system reboots?
Rumour has it the system reboots are a result of a failure while optimizing apps for ICS during the upgrade process.
Sounds like perhaps your OSs view of your apps is a little messed up...

No. Actually, I seem to have the least amount of problems with the Prime compared to most on the forum. Really, this issue and the weak GPS signal are the only ones I've had. Well, and the decreased wifi bandwidth when streaming bluetooth. But everything else generally runs smooth.
Two apps for example that I had this issue with... updating Google Voice and eTrade. Both of those for sure gave me the error that the app already existed. Uninstalling and reinstalling worked fine to grab the latest version.
Actually, I take that back. Sometimes when I do an uninstall / reinstall, it still says there is an update available.

Unfortunately I have the same issue. I haven't found a good way to work around it yet. As you have found sometimes uninstalling works and sometimes not.
Sometimes uninstalling it, rebooting the Prime, then reinstalling it works. Although, that's still sometimes as far as I can tell.
I've just started getting this issue when trying to update Officesuite Pro, first time it's happened.
Oddly enough when first typing this reply my Prime locked up and rebooted itself, which it's not done before.
Never had a reboot under ICS, at least not yet. But quite frequently have this problem. So I guess there is no correlation between the two.
The only anomalies that I experience are Skype or Talk video calls that suddenly die. No FC or any other message, Skype or Talk just exit.
I bet these types of problems will go away with a root and a custom rom in the future. Wish Asus would release the bootloader unlocking tool already!

Yeah... right now for me, it's Google Voice. And the worst part is, you can't get it to stop saying it's updating the market app even though it stops almost immediately. Annoying.
I get this sometimes, but I press update again and it updates fine

Random reboot is a normal way of life with android. A reboot here or there is nothing to worry about. Most of the time its from a bad app you installed. Now if you rebooting several times a day, then that's a problem. Its actually good to reboot or at least power down n then back on device every once in a while. It'll give device a fresh start on RAM and clear any mishaps that may have or could occur. Same deal with Ipad. They recommend rebooting every now n then for a fresh start and to have more ram available for use.
I haven't had this happen on my Prime, but I was having this same issue today on my Sprint GSII.
Not sure if this is a work around, but it just worked for me. Instead of updating the app from the 'my apps' section of the market, I went to the page in the market with the full app description. I clicked the update link there and it installed fine. I'll have to test this theory out more.
i too am facing similar probs. while updating WhatsApp and Skype too it shows that the application is already existing.
pls. note. both WhatsApp and Skype are under different Accounts
can this cause a prob that previously i would have installed it by 1 account and later on by another account when i changed the phone ?
pls. guide.
Just curious how many people are having issues with stock Google apps and the stock browser after the ota update. The Gmail and maps will get stuck on a white screen as does the stock browser and the play store will just lock up on whatever screen it was currently on. Google wallet will freeze during the unlocking your device notice. These are the only ones I have found so far but I had none of these issues before the ota update. A phone restart will fix it for a period of time but I'm currently having to restart my phone 2 times a day to get the apps to work properly again.

I also forgot to add that during the restart after the screen turns off you can will change the ring volume up and down and hear it change for 2-3 seconds before the phone actually does restart. I noticed this when I had my Bluetooth headset still connected and it was not telling me it was disconnected for at least 4-5 seconds after the screen turned off unlike before the update when it was no more than a second.

Mine does this as well, the only "fix" I have found for it is rebooting the phone. Then it works for a few days until it randomly decides to freeze again.

Also been having the same problem since updating, most noticable with the browser just being a white screen. Tried wiping cache & dalvik cache again, doesn't seem to help. Stock ROM with S-OFF. Surprised I haven't seen more mentions of this problem, but perhaps it's not widespread?
Well as I've learned over my time at xda updates are always catch 22's. That's why I choose to wait and read users feedback on how the latest ota is functioning. However none if this is revelant to your issues just figured I'd post it for future reference. Also have you guys tried a full wipe of your current rom? After you make a backup of your data of course to see if that will help ??

Yeah...I was having the same problem after the ota, but after a couple of reboots things started to work right.
Im having this too, is getting very annoying. Sometimes i just want to use the phone quickly for something and have to re-start the phone... I feel like breaking it against the floor.

I wound up here after searching for this error, which just started with me yesterday with the browser (stock). It just displays a white screen when I try to use it.
I've had the latest update (flashed with 1.22.651.3 odexed ROM from xHausx and firmware from Captain Throwback) about a week now and this just started happening yesterday.
Yesterday I somehow got it to work again by clearing the Internet cache and then I performed a search from the Google search bar and all was well. I was thinking at the time that it was stuck on a particular page and that this got around it. But that fix isn't working for me today, so I'm going to try to clear dalvik/cache from twrp as recommended here and see where that gets me.
It's good to know I'm not the only one though... I wonder if there's anything else more specific we all have in common since we seem to be a fairly small subset. Maybe we all flashed the Odexed update for example?
EDITED TO ADD: Appears to affect Gmail too. And possibly several other Google apps as mentioned here and in other threads. Since there was a Gmail update I did yesterday, I'm going to try to uninstall that as mentioned in this other thread I found http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1810829

NOT helpful at all since it affects not only the stock browser but other Google apps as well.
Refer back to my original post which I updated with additional information.
I've found if I reboot and never use the stock browser I don't have the white screen problem. I set maxthon as the default and act like the stock browser doesn't exist.

I reverted back to the previous version of Gmail yesterday hoping that would fix the problem but it still happened. This morning when I clicked an email notification from my status bar, Gmail did the white screen thing and needed to be shut down manually. Just to verify that this and the browser incident were related, I tried to launch the stock browser and it too was white screen.
So those of you suggesting to install an alternate browser to get around this issue need to understand that this is a lot more widespread than the browser alone. For me, both my Gmail and Google Offers were white screens this morning upon trying to launch them so it definitely appears to affect all Google apps.
Yeah this happens to me as well. Its really bad now. Nothing fixes. It does it on all the roms with newer OTA for me. Only two roms will work for me without this problem. I have tried everything. Wiped everything, Reflashed, Checked my sd card, factory reset, you name it. It even does it on restored roms that didn't have the problem before. I don't know what to do....
A developer told me to try and manual flash boot.img through fastboot but I'm not even sure how to do that. Need to read up on it.
I have had the issue to wear when I am trying to open the browser app, it will actually freeze the entire phone until I hit the home button repeatedly in play store will not load anything until I fully restart the phone I've tried fixing for missions do a nandroid restore nothing seems to work

suddenly my samsung galaxy s3 keeps freezing and I have to make a hard reset every time. I tried to make factory reset, or wipe factory reset, but the same problem.
what should I do?
are you on SDS-safe firmware?
Dude, instead of creating yet another post with this, you could have searched to quite easily find out your phone is halfway dead and should be sent back to samsung for repair as soon as possible. Make it safe to return if you messed with it (flash original stuff, reset counter, etc, read a bit if you don't know what to do, it's all over these forums) and just take it in.
Don't take this the wrong way but you'd think it's common sense to just return any product (not even phone related) that it's malfunctioning instead of asking what to do to random people in a third party forum

use the sds safe précautions to prevent freezing
Envoyé depuis mon GT-I9300 avec Tapatalk
And what are the sds safe precautions or where can I find it?
just search in the general section
Device:GT-I9300 32gb
I have the same problem, this seems to be firmware related to me, the phone works in safe mode but this is really crappy now. I don't think there should be a return unless it's the only fix.Will try and flash JB and update the post.
Edit: Is that sds the Sudden death thing. I tried searching but no results come up. I am a new comer to Samsung as their devices sucked for ages and they still seem to do. Please can some one advise us(the op and myself and future people with this problem) on what is the main cause of this issue that a hard reset fixes it. But for my device,it doesn't die it stops functioning.
This is how I get this problem, my phone is rooted, but it runs fine only when there is a app crash the phone locks up and thats it.
what i tried: I tried to back up my data so i could save myself from reinstalling all my app. I hard reseted the phone and the phone functioned again
but after restoring my data the phone locks up again. Now my phone works about 5sec from normal boot but then locks up. It works fine in safe mode. So really where is issue? Is an app is making the whole OS to jam there has to be a simple fix for this.
Please don't say return the device, thats the dumbest thing to ever say. We want to over come the problem not ignore it/get rid of it.
Thanks for your time guys

I was getting similar behaviour too. Phone would freeze after making calls, sending msgs, using facebook, searching on google, basically random points anywhere. Went through uninstalling apps, did a factory reset, and through some trial and error finally pinned down where my problem was at least. It was caused by the latest version of MixZing. Was crashing before frequently, and after uninstalling it I've been using my phone fine all day with no crashes at all. Still potentially early days, but if I don't report back then that solved it for me.
A simple solution
ok guys.. this is something i tried and has been working for me for more than two days now:
the problem seems to be in the download manager included in the new android software so what you simply have to do is to disable this application whenever you're not using it.. you can do so in the settings>> applications manager>> view ALL>> select DOWNLOAD MANAGER and DISABLE..
of course this will stop the play store from functionning and will stop any automatic updates but will prevent the phone sudden death...
All you have to do when you want to download any new apps or update existing ones is to enable the download manager and i suggest before doing that to clear the RAM memory and try to be gentle and patient with the phone...
Just keep working like that till ANDROID finds a solution in the next update and your phone will be fine.. in the end its better than killing the machine with every freeze.
Remember to be patient and work slowly when the download manager is enabled
Reply if it worked for you

My first post here. Thanks for this tip. My phone was freezing every 3 minutes and so I did what you suggested after all other suggestions (except rooting - as I was worried I might brick the phone if it froze while rooting) didn't work. Anyway, just a few seconds after I hit "DISABLE", my phone froze! So I thought it's probably not working, but since the reboot, it hasn't crashed. Thanks!:good:

the same thing is happening to me and i have no clue why its happening it just like 3-4days ago but i have installed only clash of clans and clash royale in my phone. he most interesting thing is that all your phone feature will work but the screen will not for almost 20-30mins then it will recover on its own. all the call features are working well but no response from phone. my conclusion is this phone is totally a mess and i dont even know how i managed t use this device for 4years! it got super laggy after 6-7 months of use. Whatever i went to the service centre and they told that i need to change the motherboard of my s3 costing 130$.

I have been having the same issue. I have had the phone since release and haven't had any problem, until about a month ago. It has rebooted a few times randomly. I am completely stock non-rooted.
I got one time today when I opened the YouTube app. I uninstall the update for the YouTube, and see what is going on
So I've noticed this happening for a few weeks now. Thought something was wrong with the phone and did a warranty replacement. New phone (not referb) does the same thing, just not as often. I think maybe it's an app running in the background now that had a bad update. I'm in the process of removing apps to see if it still happens.

Well I'm still trying to determine which app is causing it. For all I know, it could be the firmware T-mo pushed out prior to the latest one. T-mo says they haven't had reports on this issue so I don't want to blame the FW right off the bat.

Might help if you let me know which ones you have in common above. FYI, I also tried removing my sd card like I saw in a few forums. Also, Tmobile says they don't give you referb phones. They give new phones that were returned to the store within a few days. So openbox, mine looked perfect.

I just do some research online. Many articles are talking about that the android 4.4.2 has randomly reboot bug. I think this the common bug for the 4.4.2. Hopefully, the 5.0 is rolling out for international version. I think t-mobile will update the s5 to 5.0 soon.
Its the 4.4.2 firmware. Its because of all the apps updating to the new lollipop 5.0 but where still on kit Kat. Remember now these apps are set to run on art now so i believe there conflict between the dalvik thats the norm. On 4.4.2. I noticed if i run my SM-G900T 4.4.2 in art mode the rebooting stops. So at the end of the day this means when 5.0 is released to our S5 the reboots should stop. If your bothered by the reboots just run the 4.4.2 in art mode. Good day☺

Your guess is as good as mine. But I truly believe it's the fact that the updated app where modified to art and 4.4.2 is dalvik. ?? I'm sure when the 5 update comes this will be resolved ☺

Will stock 4.4.2 unrooted run art? How would I enable that?

1.) Go into Settings, and About Device. Where it says: Build number press on this over and over again until it gives you the Toast message: Developer Options Turned On (something to that effect).
2.) Go back into Settings, and just below Security and above About device, you will see Developer options. Open this.
3.) 4th Item down is: Select runtime system. It should say: Use Dalvik. Change this option to: Use ART. It should work for a little bit, then Reboot your phone.
4.) All done!
Note: If you plan to Root your phone, and use Xposed, it is NOT compatible with ART runtime. If you plan to stay unrooted, or not use Xposed if you do root, then you are fine. You can always switch back if you decide to do this.
Hi Guys,
I'm using Official JB version 124, and i experience severe crashing, freezing and lag with this phone, one thing i notice is the use of the RAM is almost 95% all the time, is there someone out there can point me how to solve this issue without having to hard reset/factory reset the phone, because it only solved the issue temporarily, i like this phone but it seems there isn't any right OS build for it, even the custom one have bugs

MIUI is cleaned of bloatware!
You could try Baralajbi too, the same cleaned of CN bloatware!
