When I run any App it will restart after a while and start back up and restart again(around 3-4 times). I'm guessing that it is an app I installed but I'm not sure I uninstalled many and still no luck.
Can any one tell me how to reset to factory default or format?
Settings -> SD Card and Phone Storage -> Factory Data Reset
put your SD card into your PC and install pc comparison, try a software repair (i think ti does factory reset for you too)
Thanks guys but it seems as though that didn't work... As soon as it finished and I started to set my phone up it restarted... Is there anyway to find the problem?

Hi, I've a question here. Last night because I tried to remove and reinstall the Maps, but failed. It said I'm lucky (You know what i mean). I reflash and reset everything. But this morning I turned in safe mode, i can see the words safe mode on the left bottom corner. And apps all gone in applications. But in sd card still remain everything. Never mind, i just restart the phone and they all come back. This afternoon, some FC come out. I reflash and start all over again. This time it does't go to safe mode. But still when I'll installing the apps, some of them gone again, and come back after restart. What's the problem?? I use only lagfix K11b-500hz and fixed to ext4 and rooted. Can anyone give me some answers? Thanks.
Could it because i moved the apps to sd card and when external sd card was unexpectedly removed they'll gone for a while??
I have a Verizon Galaxy Tab SCH-I800 and I woke up today and it was missing some programs that I had installed the night before. Launcher pro keeps crashing so I had to put the Samsung Launcher back on. Now random programs all keep crashing and locking up the device. I performed a factory reset through settings -> privacy -> perform factory reset.
It restarts and goes to the samsung bootloader and I performed wipedata/factory reset.. It says it does it but when it restarts its in the same condition as before.
I've booted directly to the bootloader and tried it too (volume up and power key). I've also tried to wipe cache with no luck..
Any ideas? Can I root it and put a custom rom on it? I saw that there really aren't any roms for the Verizon tabs.. Any reason why?
Thanks for any help..
I just did a restore with all the stock verizon firmware using heimdall and it flashed and everything went through properly..
I booted into recovery and wiped data/cache and restarted...
SAME THING! It will NOT wipe out my existing data.. It restarts with all of my old programs installed and NOTHING will work.. The OS is hosed. How can I wipe this thing back to factory??

I'm in the same boat..half my apps crash when you try to open them. I've wiped the data partition 3 times, and the cache as well..not avail. Apps are still on the device after a master reset!

I had that problem, and I wound up sending it back to Samsung. It appeared to be a bad part on the board, so they replaced it and it's on its way back now. Not the answer you want, I'm sure, but call it in and get your RMA number.

On your new Tab can you perform a hard reset and have it actually work?
my sprint Tab seems to be in the same boat
EDIT-- Well I went ahead and did a complete factory reset and lost everything
Hey everyone,
I bought a Samsung Galaxy S5 mini without a contract and got an EE simcard and a 16gb Kingston SD card.
I was downloading music onto my SD card with Spotify when suddenly the phone crashed. When I turned it on, both the home screen launcher thing and messages stopped working completely. I tried clearing memory and cache but nothing helped. I got around this by installing Nova Launcher and using WhatsApp instead of the standard Messages app.
The problem is that last night I went onto Ultra Power Saving Mode, but the launcher doesn't seem to work and now I'm stuck! Can't get out of UPSM and the only thing I can access is basic settings through the notifications window, but there's no option to get out of UPSM.
Here's some of the things I've tried:
- Removing the SD Card.
- Plugging the phone into the computer through Kies, it just says "Connecting" but nothing happens.
- Using Google to find other similar issues
- Going into a phone shop
Help! I really need my phone!
Im not sure about this. Maybe download the firmware for your phone and flash it via odin.

Will I lose all my data? I remember 'backing up' through settings a few days ago... Does that save everything?
Usually flashing ur own firmware wont lose ur data but since you cant connect to kies or backup, i think its worth a try.

Hello there, i've looked up the forum but havent foung anyone with a similar problem, which I was hopping it was going to be general.
I updated my note 3 from kit kat to lollipop yesterday, which was working just fine after the update. But around 3 hours ago I could not get a signal from my carrier, even though everyone elses phone was working just fine. So i tried rebooting my phone and after it restarted 80% of my apps werent there. I have only a few apps now but most of my downloaded apps are simply not showing, although it looks like from the storage windows that my data was not erased. Even though they are not showing in the "downloaded apps"" section I would have way more free space if they were indeed deleted.
Even stock apps are broken. Like my goodle services are missing and a lot of those stock apps that come with your phone and you cant delete are not there. PLus all my contacts are lost, my messesges are gone, but I have all my photos. This is really weird.
Another informations is that Im currently not using an micro sd memory card, so All my stored information and apps were running on my 32gb memory within the note 3 itself.
Ill reply as soon as I can to any questions or useful information.
I have tried rebooting it a few times and looking up online to see if anyone else has had a similar problem. If anyone can help Ill be very gratefull.
Thank you all in advance !
more information
HI, another usefull information is that whenever i reboot my phone theres a black screen that says "android is upgrading.........starting apps" then after a few seconds it goes to my lock screen but still a lot of my data is missing.
Safe mode maybe?

This happened coz you didn't factory reset/Wipe data the phone when you installed Lollipop. Do it and your phone will boot normally.

Yeah better. Copy all your internal data to your pc (music, photos, contacts are linked to your google account). Factory reset your device (Settings > Accounts > Back Up and Reset > Factory Data Reset > Reset Device > Delete All/Erase Everything) and take a look how your device works.

Hello!
I tried to update my phone (SM-G975U) via Odin from Android 9 to Android 12, got the firmware from SamFw.com. Everything went fine until the phone rebooted, after unlocking the phone gets stuck on 'phone is starting'. I CAN access the Set Up Menu, Uninstall apps, move some settings here and there, connect to Wifi/Bluetooth, receive calls, install apps using ADB. Also, theres a notification all the time that reads 'Phone restarted Unlock your phone to get app notifications', I'm assuming that the phone thinks it is not unlocked and that's why it doesn't fully boot up.
Some things that I've already tried:
Intalling another Launcher (Pixel Launcher)
Reinstalling the firmware (ver G975USQU6IVC7) / Trying with different CSC with no results
Wiping Cache in Recovery Mode
Deleting/Adding Fingerprints
Changing from Lock Pattern to NIP to Password
I don't really want to do the full wipe, I would like to keep my data or be able to export the photos (Device not Recognized by Smart Switch also)
Is there anything else I can do?, has anyone been through the same issue?
Is your phone rooted?

No, it's not rooted
Hi !
@DannOsnaya have you found a solution to the phone problem other than restoring to factory settings?
I have the same problem at the moment, almost identical to what you experienced.
If anyone has some advice on how to fix this problem, please share your advice.
My phone is not rooted.

Any way to factory reset. I tried every possible way following YouTube but nothing works. It's just stuck. I've a backup of my data so not worried.
No, I still have the same issue.
Have you tried to install a launcher?

Nothing works. Now decided to show it to anyone. I guess the mobile shops have an option to erase everything. I don't understand how did it happen because it's usually with my toddler, he might have done something.

I followed a video and wiped out. Finally successful. I wasn't worried about data as Google has a backup.
I followed this method and finally it's factory reset.
