system ui has stopped - Sony Xperia XZ1 Compact Questions & Answers

My XZ1c just updated some apps and the system ui crashed.
After restarting I get the security pin unlock screen, then the screen turns black.
When I press the camera button, I get to see the camera screen but the message "system ui has stopped" keeps popping up.
Can't seem to get anywhere other than camera or restart. same thing also happens in safe mode.
I never rooted my phone or changed rom or anything like that only used nova launcher.
I would appreciate your help.

Apps aren't opening...need help.

So starting today, after no changes being made. My apps won't open. I click on them and they bounce like I'm clicking on it but nothing happens. I did a full factory restore, they seem to work randomly then they stop working again until I reboot. After a few minutes, this happens again. The app menu button seems to work completely fine. It will bring up my app menu but the apps won't load. Sometimes when I click on them like 30 times they will finally open but other than this they won't. Also the home screen apps are having the same behavior. It seems like software but I don't know how it could be software related if I did a factory restore and it didn't help. Also when I hold the app button down like you would do to relocate it on the home screen, it acts like there is nothing there and opens up the menu that would come up if I held down on a black area of the screen to change the wallpaper or something. This is pretty terrible. Help? Thanks.
Update software then, Repair My phone with the Sony Update Service.

App update just disabled my phone??

I have an AT&T S5 running stock recovery with towelroot. Phone has been fine today, had 4 apps that required additional permissions for updates today so I ran them. I recall 2 were USAA and Tasker. Also FingerSecurity just got an update prior. After I accepted the additional permissions, I turned the screen off. I then heard it make the lock sound 3 times while the screen was off.
Currently I can turn the screen on or off, however the lock screen never comes up, just the home screen. Everything on the screen is unresponsive and the taskbar is gone. I've rebooted, wiped cache in recovery, it comes up the same way, bypassing the lock screen even though I have it secured with fingerprint. On the 3rd or 4th reboot, I did get a dialog saying systemui crashed. It keeps shifting the icons slightly like it's trying to add the taskbar but they shift about 10 times before finally stopping with no taskbar.
When I long press the power button, I have to be quick otherwise the dialog will disappear.
Is there anything I can do besides a factory reset?

Periodic blank desktop

I am having an issue with my rooted, unlocked phone on 5.1.1. Every once in a while when in an app and pressing the home button to go back to the desktop I will instead get a blank screen. The navigation buttons are visible and respond when pressed (a gray background shows briefly when pressed) but don't do anything. I can pull down the notification shade but nothing happens when I press a notification. I can press the setting button but again nothing happens. This happened once while I was playing music and the music continued to play. I have to turn the phone off and then back on again to get it to work again. I thought it might be a Nova launcher problem so I went back to the default Google launcher but it still happens. As a last resort I reloaded the factory image, re-rooted and cleared all ther data to start from scratch but it is still happening. Has anyone seen this before or have any ideas what is causing this? It is driving me crazy.
Thanks,
John

It happens on my N6 a few times. Mostly when I had changed something.
For instance changing a language textfile of the nav.app Sygic. Or after adding custom Poi's.
Reboot solves the problem.
My idea is that it is related to caching or memory management.
Root N6, 5.1.1 LMY48i, FK r31, encrypted.
Disabled most g-apps;

SOLVED! Kinda unusable device.

So, I was yesterday using my phone and everything was OK. This day, I charged my phone because it was dead and couple mins later I turned it on. I unlocked it, everything looked OK, but I discovered some weird things. My recent apps and home buttons aren't working. When I press recent apps button it lits up but it doesn't do anything. Back button works. Then I saw that there are no notifications in the status bar(I have Kaspersky antivirus so there had to be its notification). And then when I swiped down to check notifications, I tried pressing settings, date and show more buttons, they didn't work either. I pressed power button to restart and in that box airplane and emergency modes buttons are not there. Plus, when I close my S View thing, there's no ...(more) and camera buttons.
Yesterday, I was looking at activities(using Nova launcher and adding a widget for activity) and tried couple, so I think I made something there bad.
My phone is G800F running Stock 4.4.2 without root. No viruses on my device.

This question is solved by myself.
I solved it!
What I did was I went to the Nova Launcher settings and then I changed default launcher to Touchwiz. After it turned on, I got everything that wasn't working now working!

Question Home button often not responding

Hi there,
My home button often stops responding. It will appear pressed correctly but doesn't actually go home. Sometimes the back and switch window buttons also don't respond, but that's less common. This happens about once a day.
The screen is fine as the buttons visually change to show I've tapped them, but they simply do nothing.
I can always fix it by restarting. It's only been happening on 12.1 v61 firmware.
There's no physical damage to the phone, it's in mint condition.
Any ideas? Anyone else having this?
I'm hoping the next software update fixes it because it's super annoying.
Thanks!
Global power management will cause erratic behaviors. A 3rd party app, does it happen in safe mode? Any apps installed or uninstalled before this happened?
Clear the system cache if you have this option.
