Hi all,
first time poster so please direct me to the right area if I missed this topic being discussed.
Have had a G2 since December. Recently it updated and the clock/weather widget, the Gmail app, and the clear ram widget have all stopped working. Even the lock screen does not show the time anymore.
The phone is not rooted or anything, just a personal use phone.
Tried resetting it and loading into safe mode but it did not fix it.
How can I fix this so my phone functions as normal?
Thanks
So you're actually saying you did a factory data reset?
You had to relogin to your account and reinstall all of your apps?

Alright duder.
Whatever apps are crashing just go to settings/apps/gmail or whatever app and clear data then reboot when you've cleared them all.
Just sounds like a bad update.

Had the phone for few days and a problem when i clicked for example the "MESSANGING" on my home screen it lead to aim screen to i click back it went to another app then i lcicked home i went home and clicked messanging again and it went to another screen of a app why isnt it go to messagning? it works now but it did that twice!!!! it froze everytime i tryed to quickly share a photo via facebook it froze one time there.well a new problem happened..... i locked it the nwhen i lciked the power to unlock no puzzle unlock wasnt there it was just my backround.. then i keep lockign and unlockign no puzzle i shut the phone off and restated?
Your best bet is to wipe your phone and flash a fresh rom onto it. What rom are you using?
its regular updated 2.2 nexus build number FRF91 idk anything else? its not rooted
Oh ok so purely stock.
1. Backup all your contacts:
*Open Contacts app
*Press menu softkey, select Import/Export
*Export your contacts to sd card
2. Go to settings -> privacy -> factory data reset [THIS WILL WIPE ALL DATA ON THE PHONE]
Your phone should restart, and you should be good to go.
thanks bro... why u think its glitching liek that because maybe all the apps i got like 20 from market and task killer? or what can it be? by the way i factory restored it once not because of this problem but jsut to clear all apps quickly... so i just did it lets see how it goes from now....
No problem, I'm here to help.
I remember reading recently that task killers from the market actually may do more harm than good. I don't exactly remember why, but that may be your problem...
P.S. I always thought task killers required root...I guess you learn something new every day
hahaha true true.. so these problem u heard about before or first time?
I've never heard of your specific issue but anything is possible
gotcha so right now i download most apps such as aim,calorie counter, magic marker, pandora, yahoo mail, drink recipe, shazam, shopsavvy, WHERE thats about it.. no task killers no battery displayers no nothing.... hopefully this problem wont occur....
Good. Just send me a PM if you run into the issue again
gotcha.. thanks anyone got any ideas why it would occur..... apps? virus?
Were you using a program to customize the icon? Like Folder Organizer?
nope.. but i did have astro zipper program i had lock up 2.0 i had werid thigns just got a habit of downloading i enedup delting lots but problem occured i just did a factory reset so far no problem.....

From what you're explaining, its seems you're experiencing the touchscreen issue. Most if not all of the N1's have this problem. It's a known defect that HTC chooses not to admit too. As of now there's only a temp fix which is to press the power button on & off. Its a problem that randomly occurs. There's nothing that'll specifically trigger the problem, it just happens when it happens. Flashing to a custom rom will not solve your problem becuz its hardware related. If you haven't voided your warranty in any way, your best bet is too warranty exchange/repair your device until its fixed.
ya im going to call warrernty now and see what the deal is!
Hello everybody,
I apologize for this post being so big but I had to cover all the details. I just got my new Galaxy Note N-7000(ceramic white) in India through Flipkart.com on 13th Feb. The phone worked fine the first day but since the next morning, I have been encountering a lot of problems. This is my first ever android phone so im pretty new to android and I am really scared if I might have gotten a defective piece. So please guys any help would be really great!
Here are some of my problems -
1. Phone restarted when moving apps from phone to SD card. Happened once.
2. Restart when changing the tabs in stock internet browser. Happened twice. Also the tabs move with a bit of lag. This is surprising with such high specs of the phone.
3. Restart when browsing the gallery. Happened Once.
4. Restart when connecting to usb mode through USB Utilities under settings>wireless and network>USB utilities. Happened Once.
5. Freeze when viewing gallery. Happened once and I had to remove the battery and reinsert and switch the phone back on because even the home button was not responding.
6. Freeze when trying to attend incoming call. Happened only once.
7. Advance task killer shows several apps open even if I never touched those apps. Mostly they are the default Samsung apps but sometimes a few apps I installed.
8. Apps like skype, viber, ect crash often and give a message 'application crashed and gives options to either force close or report'
9. Generally gets very hot even when browsing the internet or the market and burns like hell when gaming. The heating problem has reduced a little ever since I updated the firmware which Kies showed.
Guys, Im not sure if I am just panicking for nothing and if these things are normal but I feel such a costly phone with high specs shouldn't give these many problems. Plus I have installed only decent apps like skype, facebook, viber, astro, asphalt 6, blood and glory, angry birds, omnisketch, box, barcode scanner to name a few and they just fill only up to half the 4th app screen . I haven't installed any custom roms or have rooted my device yet as I am a complete noob. I havent even installed any apk's or apps outside of the android market or Samsung apps. Thanks in advance for any help!
First thing you should perform is Hard Reset.
backup your data then go to setting - privacy n Factory data reset (dont select to format USB storage. so data on SD card will remail as it is.

ok i will try this now and then install the apps back and let you know...but are you sure these problems are not a manufacturing defect or some hardware problem?..Hey btw what is the difference between hard resetting from the privacy settings and hard resetting by pressing the volume up+lock button+menu button?
Doesn't sound hardware related in my opinion. If hard reset doesn't work flashing a new rom will more than likely solve it. I've never had these issues though (other than apps auto starting on boot). Is there not an update available for the firmware?

Now that the topic has come up, Dr. Ketan.. Could you please explain the difference between a normal reset and a hard reset. I tried searching. Couldn't find an accurate answer.

You just check it first without installing extra application then after. If it occurs only after installing some stuff, it is just confliction with app.
Both methos are same, reset with recovery option is useful when you are unable to boot your device normally.

What i know is soft reset is just clear appl n memory from background, say simply rebooting device.
Hard reset will wipe all data except from System ROM, so making device as it was at time of purchase.
I also wanted to add that some apps will run in background. They are software update, samsung hub, samsung account, wifi sharing. etc. Apps like a keyboard or rdio will run in background.
Rooting the device allows you to have greater control and the ability to freeze apps so they can't run in background.

I am filling in the info for him but he told me today that as of the update he gets freezing, only half the apps and info loads, can't see any of his text and he has done about 5 battery pulls already. Prior to the update everything was smooth sailing, he is not rooted and when he got the update he left the phone alone to do it's thing the entire time.

Tell him to wipe his data, that should help clear out anything strange.

I already told him he will probably have to lose everything but I was hoping to maybe give him another alternative.

I agree with danifunker. Just back his user data (pics, music, etc.) up to external-sd if it isn't already there. You can try backing his user apps up with Titanium Backup, but YMMV with that. You're reintroducing variables back into the flash.
I have also seen quite a few cases where selecting the backup/restore phone with Google during the initial setup after a major OS update has caused issues as well. This happened on quite a few employee phones here where I work during a previous upgrade. So much that it's our standard policy to not select them after a major upgrade. If a data wipe doesn't solve it, a full system restore and unselecting those options during setup is another (destructive) alternative.
Good luck amigo. Keep us posted. :highfive:
Hello,
My phone is almost a month old now and first two weeks were fine no problem at all. Now last few days it has been randomly rebooting itself when I swipe my lockscreen to open. It never does this when I am using the phone only sometimes when I'm unlocking the screen by swiping or just directly go from notifications etc. This happens like twice a day depending how much I use my phone.
I also feel like it first started to happen when I updated it. To be honest I am not sure what it did update. I also installed bunch of apps which I did delete later.
What should I do next? Factory data reset? Or is there a way to see the "crash report" or something to see whats causing it?
tldr; phone randomly reboots after lockscreen, what to do
Thanks.

After the update if some issues show up is recommended to do a Factory Reset. Start do that.

Agreed. If that does not work, re-flash the phone with a stock FTF to start over. If the problem continues after that, it must be some hardware issue.

I did that and didnt get single reboot yesterday. Too bad I didnt try this earlier. Thanks.
I am having the exact same issue.
Here is that I have done that didnt work.
Reset (vol up/pwr)
reset using red button by sim card
factory data reset
software install using pc companion
However, After each one I set the phone back up how I had it. I had the gmail widget on the lock screen. the phone would reboot at random times right after attempting to unlock. I removed the gmail widget and it hasnt happened since! I sat here locking and unlocking for about 15 minutes and it hasnt rebooted.
IN SHORT TRY TO REMOVE THE WIDGETS BEFORE ANYTHING ELSE
Hope this helps

it has not rebooted since i originally posted this. It is now 4/25
Whenever I restart my phone, it says phone starting along with showing an Android P logo.
I factory reset my phone once and the issue went away when I set the phone up as completely brand new.
When I factory reset the phone again with restoring my phone from the Samsung Cloud, the same error message appeared. What should I do to fix it?

If it happens again after a restore then its likely something you have backed up causing it

Even after the first initial setup, it kept doing it. I tried a Dalvik wipe, a bunch of factory data resets, and rebooting in safe mode. I think it could be something with logging into an account too. I tried two factory data resets w/o logging into my Google or Samsung accounts. They were pretty smooth with restarts. I may have to restore less info from my iPhone to the S10e?
I have about 12k texts between now and 2017 that I restored. Plus about 141 apps. But I think it may be a first party app since it's an issue that occurred in safe mode?
thats normal
mine does the same and so are all the ones i saw reviewed online
mine takes a few seconds in normal reboot but when i updated the OS it took like 5min to disapear

Weird, I thought it was corrupt data. It doesn't happen on my dad's Note 9 w/ Pie on it. What I do find weird is that the Android P logo appears and mentions the device was updated in the notification/status bar.

Usually the little pie icon in the status bar means it's finishing up an update. Is there still data that may not be fully transfering for some reason and maybe something got stuck trying?
Mine does the same thing. I think it's because some data didn't restore properly while restoring

According to the data transfer process, it says that my Google and Samsung accounts fully restored. I think the data I am using may be corrupt given that I had a lot of apps from iOS transferring over to the S10e. I'll download my apps manually this time. Just waiting for 12k messages to transfer over from Samsung Cloud into my S10e.

I was on the XDA app before so i didn't see your picture but yes that phone is starting message is normal. All my Pie devices have done it. Also the P icon in the status bar is a systemUI icon saying you won't receive notifications until you unlock it.

Interesting, I thought it was abnormal since the Note 9 doesn't do it.
Its totally normal. You are worrying too much. [emoji14]

Just got done with Samsung Support. They say it's normal on the S10, but the Note 9 doesn't have that.
