"settings has stopped" - Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Htcm9
Running venom rom 6.2.0
New to xda so sorry for my inexperience.
My problem started when I noticed that I wasn't getting any notifications from specific apps unless they were opened, I tried to solve this problem by going into the notifications tab under app settings but I would be met with the problem of it saying "settings has stopped". It happens with every app I try and go into the 'notification' settings tab.
Things I've tried:
-rebooting into safe mode
-problem still persists
-wiping cache partition
- didn't solve problem
-reinstalling rom os
-didnt solve problem
If anyone has any helpful information or has experienced the same problem, help would greatly be appreciated. If there's any information I could supply you with I'd be more than happy to.
Thanks in advance.

[Q] VS G Tablet with Vegan 5.11 can't get Mac address, FC on device status

Hi all,
Hoping someone can help. I flashed my G Tablet with Vegan 5.11 with Pershoot's kernal. When I navigate to settings>about device>status I get the following FC error:
"The applications Settings (process com.android.settings) has stopped unexpectedly. Please try again."
I have booted into ClockworkMod and have tried the wipe cache partition, wipe data/foctory reset and fix permissions, all with a reboot after each one and none has fixed the issue I am experiencing. Anyone else have this issue. I am just trying to retrieve my MAC address so I can add it to a wifi router for internet access.
I can probably use a work around and connect to another wifi router with MAC address requirement disabled and look at the logs to see the MAC address, but it would be easier for me to fix this.
Anyhow, any help is greatly appreciated. Thanks.

I ended up setting up mobile hotspot on my android phone and retrieved the MAC address of the tablet from there. Would be nice to know if there is a fix for this anyway or if this is a know bug. I don't see it as a bug on the Vegan rom sticky.
I had the same question too and googled this thread.
However, I played around a little more and think I found your solution.
Settings > Wireless & networks Wi-Fi settings
then press the on-Display menu button (the one with the lines that look like an inverted paragraph - I had to google what this button was called too)
Select advanced and it should be there! at least for me it was.
Hope it's what you are looking for!
Thank you for the work around, but it would still be nice to get this fixed. I am hoping the GB Beta 1 being based off of Cyanogen the issue will go away.
i too have run into this issue.
is this a common thing or should i be worried?
Well known issue since day one... the aforementioned process of browsing to advanced wireless settings is the solution for the MAC addy

[Q] apnews error on startup

Hi all,
Every startup I'm receiving an error stating that the following failed to start and I only have the option to 'force close' it:
process.com.sec.android.widgetapp.apnews
Has done this since I received it.
I've searched the forum but can't see anyone else with this.
What firmware version is your phone?
Try going to applications in your settings and force closing the app and clearing data and the restart the phone.
Hi,
I am having the same problem and can't seem to resolve it. Can I please ask ifyou managed to fix it?

[Q] "System UIDs Inconsistent"?

I'm running Bamf remix 1.6.3 and everything's been peachy since it was installed but now it suddenly is showing an error message that says "System UIDs Inconsistent. UIDs on the system are inconsistent, you need to wipe your data partition or your device will be unstable." My only option is to press a button that says "I'm feeling lucky" and then all my apps start force closing. Can anyone explain how this happened and if wiping everything is the only way to fix this?
P.S. I did a search for this and found conflicting answers.
I found this solutions which worked for me.

You could have fixed the problem without starting from scratch. I just ran into the problem myself and was able to fix it by going into cwm and restoring permissions under the advanced tab. hope this helps anyone who has this same issue, it took me a while to find a solution

[Q] Having problems accessing ringtone settings.

I have an LG Esteem running Android 2.3.4.
I went to change my ringtone went into settings, ringtones and get
the following message.
The application settings (process.com.android.settings) has stopped
unexpectedly. Please try again.
then force close.
I HAVE SEARCHED this forum for over 3 hours now to find a solution
but, to no avail.
If anyone has had this problem or know how to get it fixed Please Help!
My phone is rooted and I am using Backup Pro to backup all my apps and
data because all I've found is lots of people saying to do a factory reset.
This is not an ideal solution since everything works but, being able to
get into ringtones....even notification work......
Again, if anyone can help me that would be great!

[Q] Please help with "Unfortunately, Settings has stopped" error message

Hi all - I was wondering if someone could assist in diagnosing the reason for the message "Unfortunately, Setting has stopped" error message that I intermittently get when I go into the Settings->App menu on my Asus Padfone2.
It's running Android 4.1.1 and the stock version of ROM v10.4.17.7
Unfortunately I've got a lot of apps and data on my phone which will mean that a lot of work will be required if I restore factory settings and reconfigure, so am doing everything I can to try and localise and fix the fault before resorting to a factory reset.
Unfortunately I'm not able to pinpoint the exact time it happened, otherwise a good starting point would be to undo what I did just before that point ! However it looks as if the Settings->Apps "crash" happens more frequently if I go into the "Language & Input" part of Settings, and I therefore believe it to be related to the test installation of the Google Keyboard that I did, and how it interacted with TouchPal X (another keyboard) which I had loaded at that time, however uninstalling both of the applications and power cycling did not resolve this issue.
I've also checked the logcat logs, and unfortunately, there's no exact match for the message "Unfortunately, Settings has stopped", however there appears to be several matches against "settings", one of which is as follows :
"[ 02-27 23:55:51.509 28773:29176 E/AndroidRuntime ]
FATAL EXCEPTION: pool-1-thread-1
java.lang.OutOfMemoryError"
Is this the likely culprit ? I've had a look at the remaining part of this message and it doesn't shed any light on what is causing this error message so not sure where to go next.
I've tried clearing the cache and data from the stock Android & Asus keyboard app (from Settings->Apps->All), however this has had no effect.
I've also seen an option on the recovery menu of clearing the cache, but not sure what this encompasses so am a bit reticent to do this without knowing exactly what it does ...
Would appreciate any thoughts that anyone has.
Many thanks
