Notification drawer not pulling down !! - Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hello guys,
I'm on official 7.1.1 lineageos. I was watching a video on youtube and the phone got a bit laggy after a while, i restarted it and then the notification drawer wont pull down anymore, no notifications show and home + recents button wont work as well.
I tried searching in xda, androidcentral and other places, and tried to clear data/cache for all system-related apps. I tried restarting the phone, pulling out the battery for 10 mins, going in and out of safe mode, all with no luck.
Anyone faced such an issue and was able to resolve it without full wipe and install again please let me know. Thank you !!

Try dirty flashing your rom, flash your current rom in recovery and wipe cache and Dalvik cache only then reboot.

Okay i will look into it as a future solution. As for now, i clean flashed the rom.
Thank you for your answer

Fstrim. Try it first. There are a few apps that do it. It might help.

Mmmm i never thought of this app at all. I will check it if same thing occurs again.
Thank you for sharing

I remember i used it once or twice when i was on JB and ICS. But KK was amazing so i didnt need it. And so far, LOS is flying :good: :good:

I got the same problem, I'm tired of reflashing everytime . All Nougat roms do this.

[Q] Error message, need help

I am running Android 4.2.1 and have not installed or updated any apps over past week. This morning, I switch on my phone and this error popped up (pic). I tried restarting it several times during the day and the error is persistent. My phone feels sluggish but otherwise functions as it should. How do I find out what app is causing this error message? It appears to be system related. Is there an app in Play Store that can tell me exactly what is causing this error?
BTW, I rooted my phone some 2 months ago and everything works well so I doubt it is because my phone is rooted. All my apps installed via Play Store so shouldn't be any malwares involved.
Mainly this error is caused by using a particular rom.
Changing the rom might solve the problem.

No, never tweaked anything except to root it but that was 2 months ago.
hmm.
Then try wiping the dalvik cache and the cache partition from recovery.
try it and then report..
OK, I will try your suggestions. Now I have to read up on just how to do that

Sorry I could not manage to try cleaning the cache because my phone decided to brick itself the following morning. Just like that. This morning, alarm on my phone went off like usual and I always do a restart to be fresh for the day. The phone is stuck at green android man. I did a power and vol+ and got a dead android man. I created another thread asking for help in reviving my dead phone. If you have comments, I will appreciate it.

Whatsapp and Instagram not working after ICS update

Hello!
So, I updated my GT-P7500 yesterday to the ICS stock version. Since then I haven't been able to use whatsapp, nor instagram.
I've tried reinstalling both apps, to no avail. I've also performed a factory reset, to see if it would get the apps working again... everything else works fine on 3G.
By the way, I can't really test to see if those apps will work on wifi.

Uninstall both apps...
Boot to recovery and wipe cache... and then reboot..
Reinstall apps... if that doesn't work...
Uninstall the apps..
Then go into you're app manager and uninstall the playstore updates( do it on both the playstore apps listed.. if you have two )..Do not uninstall the apps themselves. Since it sounds like you're not rooted. This shouldn't be an issue, but I had to put it out there.. for you're safety..
After that..boot back to recovery and wipe cache... reboot..
Reinstall apps...... let me know what's up..

Thanks for replying
So, I'm rooted.
Forgot to add that to the topic, but I've tried uninstalling the apps and wiping the cache...
Just tried uninstalling the updates on the playstore and cleaning the cache, and it still didn't fix the issue.

Since you're rooted... do you have a custom recovery( cwm or TWRP )
If so wipe dalvik with the cache wipe and see what happens..
I'll look around for a better solution

Yeah, I have the cwm.
I wiped the dalvik cache and it didn't fix the issue...
I've noticed youtube app is not working as well.
I can tether the connection and open youtube normally on my laptop, though...

Sorry for the late reply... but from what I can tell.. this is a known or atleast consistent problem with other users... I haven't seen any fixes, but you might try an older version of the apps and see what happens..
Good Luck

Hey Gil!
I've managed to solve the issue, so I will post here my solution. If anyone facing that problem step by this thread, he or she might have a chance solving it.
I had given up solving it, and downloaded CyanogenMod 10.1...
I did a factory reset on my tablet, and tried to flash the cm through cwm... For some reason it didn't work, it gave me an error.
Kinda pissed, I decided to try once more to solve my issue or give up and go for another rom, such as gambarou.
I re-flashed the stock ICS using odin.
Booted and voilĂ , everything worked!
Thanks for your help, Gil! =]

That's great... and thanks for posting the answer..
I must ask.. did you re-download the stock ICS file.. if so.. the first might have been a bad dl... if not.. then I guess during the first flash, something went sideways..
either way.. glad you're up and running at full speed..

Hi guys! I don't know what is happened, but my phone doesn't turn on anymore...

I had this problem a few times after uninstalling Android tweaker Pro. The bad news is that I had to go into recovery, which was kinda hard, and reinstall my rom. The good news is that you could try doing that without wiping anything, as long as it's the same rom that you already had installed.

so can i reinstall the same rom from cwm and i will not lose my data?
You can install the same rom without losing data, that's just common sense, but you may have to clear cache if you get a bootloop.

Do you have any idea about why, or does it just never opens? Maybe it has something to do with your ROM (a bug?) You can choose to wait until whatever dev made your ROM updates, if you can open phone.apk you can see your contacts from there so it shouldn't be a problem, you can also try to re-install your rom and clear caches this time.
why don't you just make a back up of your contacts on google..... and then sync again when you install another ROM....... you won't loose any of your contact that way even in future........

You can backup your data (like sms, contacts, logs etc) and restore after reset

[Q] HTC Desire X Keeps Restarting!

Hello,
Today I was charging my phone via USB and suddenly my phone restarted, Since then the phone keeps restarting as soon as it reaches the home screen (waits for all the widgets to load) then restarts again.
I am now making a nandroid backup.
Anybody else facing the problem?
Possible fixes?
Thanks
You tried pulling the battery? Or, wipe cache and dalvik cache from recovery?

Tried all those and only then I posted here. I don't want to flash a new ROM now. :/ Had everything setup to my liking.
Can you do a logcat while booting your phone, including the reboot?

Sorry, I got frustrated and now flashing a new ROM.
That's fine then, definitely the best choice...
Random reboots are mostly accredited to kernel and not ROM. (however possible in ROM as well).
First thing you should do next time if such thing happens is to flash stock boot or use a different boot then u are currently using.

I did the same, Returned to full stock. But then the problem occurred again after I finished setting up all my apps. Also I found out what the problem was.
The issue is with the latest update of DoubleTwist Music Player App. As soon as I installed that app and opened it, My phone froze and then the restarting issue started. Then I removed the app apk from Recovery and now it works fine.
So anyone having this issue try the above solution.

Reboot whenever I try to uninstall an app.

Hey All..
I'm facing this problem - whenever I try to uninstall an app, my phone reboots(soft reboot) and the app doesn't gets uninstalled..
I'm able to install apps fine though.. Just unable to uninstall them lol
Currently using Xenon HD rom but I have faced the similar issue on some other ROMs aswell. Typically happens when I use a particular ROM for too long.
The only fix I've found so far is re-installing the ROM...
Am I missing any trick here? And good way to solve this issue? Any suggestions or FIXs are most welcome..
This ROM is very nice... Don't wanna waste 2 hours re-installing the ROM, setting my device again.. etc; etc;
Thank You,

Try changing your rom to rr5..5.9 or 5.6 if it doesn't solve your problem then try changing kernel
Well, wiping dalvik cache worked for me... But some apps just disappeared and weren't working.. Later after some reboots, everything's fine. Thanks All for your kind suggestions
wiping cache doesn't work. for me
