Hi,
As stated in title, a friend's A10 has become unusable because settings app/window closes as soon as it opens. Is factory reset the next step? Or is there something else I could try before?
Thanks

Hey forum,
1st question:
I flashed cm7 a few days ago. Just an hour ago, I haven't been able to connect to any phone or data networks. I restarted my phone and now I get a force close message, "the process com.android.phone has stopped unexpectedly. Please try again.". When I hit force close, the message comes back 3 seconds later. If tried the press the power button and turn the phone on and off a few times but that hasn't worked so far.
2nd question
I went into cyanogenmod settings>interface>notification power widget>widget buttons, and checked the "toggle2G/3G" option. I checked it out and decided I didn't want it anymore and went to turn it off but it grayed out, making it impossible to uncheck it. Any ideas on how I can make this go away? I have restarted my phone with no luck.
any insight on these questions are greatly appreciated. Thank you.
So I have been using Omega v12 (23/09/2013) on my Galaxy S4 i9505 for a week or so absolutely no problems what so ever.
Then last night my phone just ran out of battery and safely shut down when I plugged it in and turned it on everything seemed fine until it got to the lock screen it was quite unresponsive and once i unlocked it the screen was black but showing the notification bar and it keeps bringing up a dialog box saying gmail has stopped working which once you press it it reboots. one time it said system UI has stopped working.
I can pull down the notification bar but i cannot do anything in there if you try to get to settings or for example turn bluetooth off it reboots. i was able to get the multitask menu up once where i could access google search and it allowed me to browse the web it even opened chrome but as soon as i closed it it rebooted again.
I really don't want to wipe data, keep that as my last option.
I have not seen anyone else with a similar problem i have seen a few people have 'system ui' crashes but they seem unrelated.
They were talking about installing something called '3Minit Framework'. I have no idea about this or what it does and i don't know how i would get it onto my phone, I have not tried to see if i can plug it into the computer and copy data i might try that when i get home from work...
On a different thread it was suggested to just reinstall from zip without wiping data. It didn't work.
I would like to maybe try flashing a different kernel but I don't know if right at this stage its safe to do so or even if it will make any difference?
If yes, what kernel would you guys suggest???
Any assistance would be much appreciated!

try wiping dalvik cache and cache
for kernels you should try yourself
I posted this in the A500 forum as well, but it's probable that this is not a problem limited to my device, and it's also possible that there is a rom that might help me out.
I purchased my tablet on the day it came out, so it's long out of warranty. Everything has been fine with it until three nights ago.
I woke up in the morning to a crashed app alert. I don't get crashed apps often, but it does happen, so I hit ok. A few seconds later I was inundated with crashed app alerts. At that point, any app I opened would also crash immediately. Figuring a good reset would fix it, I turned it off...and it wouldn't turn back on.
I did finally get it to start by holding the volume up and power button.
But that didn't fix the problem. I've discovered that it is somewhat stable if I keep wifi off, but if wifi is on, within minutes everything starts to crash again.
I tried uninstalling some of the apps that crash, but when I restart, the apps are back. It doesn't matter what I uninstall, when I restart, it's back. Installed apps also disappear, the wallpaper resets...basically nothing I do sticks once I restart. I tried to factory reset using the button combination required for my device, and the screen gives the "erasing user data" message, but when it loads up, everything is just as I left it. I tried using the android os option to factory reset, but when I hit "erase everything", the button depresses, but nothing happens.
So obviously, I'm a bit perplexed.
I've never rooted it, and I ran an anti-virus scan a few hours before this all happened and it came up clean.
Anyone ever experienced this? Any advice? If no one has any ideas one how to fix it, is there a way to bypass the main os completely with a rom? I have absolutely no idea how those work, so it may be obvious that it won't, but I figured I'd check.
Thanks in advance! And thanks for reading this far, even if you have no advice!
Hello All,
I am using a SGS3 with latest CM11 nightly on it. This is a company phone. They are asking now for encrypting my phone. I know there is a possibility under Settings > Security > Encrypt phone. In my opinion it is not working. I did a couple of time the following:
1. I went to Settings > Security > Encrypt phone.
2. To activate the button, I need to plug in the charger, because for the long estimated time.
3. It asked me to protect the phone with a PIN code before starting the process, I give it.
4. When I start the process of encryption I get the drawing of the little Android roboter and that's it.
In my opinion nothing happens. I can close the process with no message, nothing. The only thing what happens is, there is nothing in the notification bar after starting. Has somebody an idea what I do wrong? Now I made a factory reset and it is in the 'show roboter state' now since hours. BTW, I have a 32GB sdcard installed. Does it really take that long?
Please help me. It would be bad, if I need to remove the awesome work of Malag.
Kind regards, Andreas
I am experiencing some issues with my PLK-L01 device: from time to time, the phone take over control by itself ans opens random apps I have installed, or opens chat windows etc. Today, while i was browsing Instagram, it started to open and to hit the Like button on random photos on this platform!!
I only have this phone since Christmas and noticed this problem when it started to close the apps I was using. But now it's getting worse. I think a virus is out of the questions, since I only download apps from Google play store and only the popular ones..
Please advise!
Many thanks in advance.
Andra
have you tried to do a factory reset?
also, enable "show touches" in the developer settings. If the phone shows touches that you havent made, then the screen is faulty
Hi Themegaphoenix,
Thank you for your time and help!
I did not reset the phone, because I noticed the issue since the second day of the phone usage, so I guess a reset wouldn't quite fix this.
Could you expand on the "show touches" topic, please? Where exactly do I find those settings and if I enable it, will I risk losing the warranty or something?
Thank you & have a great day.
