Hi,
My Nexus 4 is running completely stock 4.2.2, it's not even unlocked let alone rooted (first phone I've felt happy enough without root) and was running fine until yesterday when it ran out of storage space and gave me a warning. So i uninstalled a couple of games, hoping to free up a couple of gigs.
Now though, i can't get to the settings menu or any associated screen. I can toggle the quick settings from the pull down menu, but if try to enter the main settings menu it briefly flashes up and then closes. It's the same if i try to access settings through the launcher, and if i try to get to any settings menu via other means (ie. long press an icon in Nova and select 'app info' or 'uninstall') the associated menu again just flashes up and then vanishes within a split second as if I've pressed back straight away.
Nothing else seems out of the ordinary - apps update, i can get to the play store, apps run fine, just the settings menu.
Any ideas? I can't find anything similar searching here or elsewhere. I've obviously rebooted the phone but without access to the settings i have no idea what else i can change. I'd factory reset but I've not backed up a couple of apps and usb debugging is off so i can't use Carbon (for some reason it's always had problems keeping the initial enabling and needs plugging in regularly),and i can't use Titanium without root so i wanted to see if anyone had any bright ideas first
Perhaps there's a way to just reset the settings menu? I've no idea what it's process is, but some action similar to "clear app data" should reset it :/ Just brainstorming here.
if nothing helps do a factory reset. your apps will come back automatically through the play store when you log in.you'll loose your highscores but most apps are cloud driven anyway,

Sorry for the OT but is that a genuine quote in your sig?!
Anyway @OP I think factory resetting is probably your only viable solution here, it's a very odd issue and there's not much you can do to solve it without a settings menu.
You need to clear the data for settings. Install titanium backup and see if you can. You'll need to root it first though. Crap..I forgot forgot you said you arnt rooted.

Factory reset it.

Cheers for the suggestions, was hoping there would be a fix but I guess a factory reset in the morning it is.
Frustrating as this sort of thing really shouldn't be happening out of the blue from a stock phone - it's a fairly huge bug!
Ironic that I resisted rooting to ensure I kept the reliable and simple experience of the nexus, only for it to be what stopped me fixing it when it broke :-\
Won't make that mistake again!
This probably won't work but try opening your quick toggles then long pressing on wifi or bluetooth, that's supposed to take you to those individual settings. Then if you hit the icon in the top left you may be able to get back to the main settings.

Nope, sadly does the same thing - the settings menu briefly flashes open before closing.

Hey OP, did you figure it out yet? I just noticed that trebuchet launcher allows you to go into settings via a shortcut in the app launcher. Probably won't work, but hey. Try another launcher?
Yes cheers a factory reset wasn't needed in the end - I worked out the problem.
I've been using my sim with my n4 as well as my new HTC one and hot swapping between the two for a week or so. I also have avast installed on the n4 which has an option 'disable settings when no sim inserted' which I'd forgotten about.
I only thought of it because when I initially took the sim out I got an email saying 'warning unauthorised sim inserted, id: {null}' or similar.
It didn't work with my sim installed either but I logged into avast, turned that setting off and everything was back to normal. Turned the setting back on now (once the sim was in) as it's obviously going to be an absolute pain for thieves too!
I guess it's a problem with hot swapping the sim while avast was running, the switch didn't get triggered even when I reinserted it? Either way now it just means I turn the n4 off before removing the sim now!

Haha, at least you now experienced first hand how secure your settings menu is. :laugh:
Exactly what I was thinking! Nice it gave no clue why it was happening and if I didn't know the password for avast it would have made life very difficult as it also disabled usb debugging, so anyone who wanted to wipe the phone would have needed some serious android knowledge.

Ja, actually after numerous search, I posted here! It's quite irritating. I wrote to Samsung and their reply is as usual.... Factory reset or bring it to service centre.
I also had this notification on my Note 3 three or four times, until it didnt come again. I dont know what causes it but have you tried to long press on it and see what the app-info says? On my GS 4 I, I had the Prevention Information as well, but removing the knox apks fixed it. But beware this requires root.
Reactivation lock is the function you can enable through the settings or when setting up the phone for the first time, which locks your phone with you samsung account and when somebody has wiped it, he has to enter your email and password to be able to use it.

Thanks for the reply.
I don't intend to root it for now but will check out that reactivation lock.
I‘ve been getting this message a helluva lot. Started after i noticed an update notification for an app which didnt appear in the notification window afterwards. I have autoupdate turned off in the Play store.
Usually pops up after Llama changes (or checks) settings according to my setup. For some reason removing the Amazon appstore app helped to cut down on the frequency. I have autoupdate security policy on, could that be the cause of these troubles?
I seem to be having issues with Light Manager now but not sure if its related.

Like I mentioned in the OP, the message is pretty much appears whenever I connect/disconnect from the WiFi. I honestly not sure how to relate that to this message. Other than that I don't have the app you mention.
Just wanted to confirm that disabling the reactivation doesn't help either. As soon as connect to the wireless, I get the same annoying message .
I had the same problem as well..a simple fix I read online is..when the notification pops up- long press it -clear cache -force stop...seems to work for now..

This has been happening on my S4 4.3 and my wife Note 3 . I just updated policies on Knox on my S4 and the problem has disappeared. Now the message doesn' t pop up when i reconect to wifi or change to a different wifi! Will be waiting for any other updates on the forum before doing the same on my wife's phone.
hi guys, i just got my galaxy s5 2 days ago,
i can tell it seems nice, but?
1- the tapping sometimes seems not callebrated!! like when i click to show the menu in data usage, it gives me the list to select/unselect the "restrict background data" but i can't select it!! same in many other menus, these menues which they changed from the press bottun hardware into a software menu to select, i can't select the ristrict background data, it is either going to above it "data roaming" or below it "enable wifi measure" how i can callebrate it? how i can make the touch work fine!!?? i even tried to use a thin pen softly many times, i just can't control some menus like the one i said about, also in messages (SMS) when trying to open a first message in the list, it opens for me "create new message instead" looks like the hit comes on the place that is above what i tap!!! any idea why?
2- i want to make the clock alarm put the das like S M T W T F S, but it keep reading starts from Monday, i've selected the regional settings correct "Dubai/ UAE" and made sure that is all like my old S3 which was fine, but i just couldn't make it appear as startting from Sunday!!! any idea?
3- when i am on the home screen, going right, goes to the right page, fine, going right again, goes to the next page, fine, but if i go left, it opens the magazine thing, i don't want it, i just want it to open the last page normally like you are flipping the pages, how i can do that?
THIS IS SOLVED, I COULD DISABLE THIS MAGAZINE THING, PLEASE IGNORE THIS NUMBER 3, THERE ARE SETTINGS THAT YOU CAN ENABLE AND DISABLE
4- the usb input place is really disgussting, everytime you need to carefully remove the cover and each ones you have to make sure you do it carefully not to spoil it, is seems thin and can't handle pressure, i just don't know why they put it,,,, any idea how to remove it "without breaking it" out of the device, so to keep it aside and may use it later for example??
5- i am planning to keep my s3 as secondary phone, and wanna like only to sync contacts of google account that used in the s5, nothing more, no apps or google play stuff, only for backup call solution if needed, so what is the best practice to achieve this? if i put my gmail account it will download and install all apps which installed on s5, and i don't want that, what is the best practice for this?
6- how to create a folder on the main home screens? i can't find this option yet
thanks for your time guys
#6. Long press an icon you want in a folder. Options appear. While still holding down on the icon move up to where it says make a folder. Then you can name the folder and add more apps to it.

thanks, that works, i could create a folder
number 6 is done, still the first question, specially the selecting from the menu, makes me crazy, i can't select all menues, even when in main apps place, click menu and can't select "create folder" for example, seems the touch is not working as supposed to!!! some menu can't be really selected, is it a touch problem? hardware? my device problem? gets me really crazay, i want to trestict background data but i can't select it!!! same in sms, if select the first sms, it takes me to priority set options, which is above the first sms list... is it the touch callebration? how i can solve this? what about the other questions?
the option for number 3 if anyone else is looking for it, go to your home page, long press the rescent apps button, hit home screen settings, uncheck my magazine
oh, just noticed your other reply to Q no2
exactly dear, i have it on my galaxy s5 starting from Monday!!! is this picture from s5? for me i've selected english as language, and standard gulf time, is there any other settings that i need to change?
guys, nobody is facing this tapping callebration issue in the S5? i affraid my mobile device is the only one doing this, so i have to return it back to vendor,
please advise

It does seem like a hardware problem to me, but I can't say for sure of course.
I never had such problems though.
Mithrandir007,
if you have the s5, can you please go to data usage, and click on that menu button up there, then try to select the strict background data, is that works and selected normally?
problem is i can select everything else on the phone, only this new menu list, in some occasions, i cant select the first or the second option, same for new folder in the apps list, same also in the sms list...
please, anybody can confirm or explain anything related?

device was defective in hardware, even software update (fresh software installation) did not help. unfortunately, many people had the same problem as Samsung representative stated earlier today, they took the device from me and will arrange for replacement soon. this is FYI guys.
Does anyone else have this issue? Most of the time, when somebody calls, I get nothing that comes up on my screen. It's totally blank, no options to answer or reject the call.
I've factory reset a couple times, once when unlocking the bootloader to root it (this was after it happened with stock OS).
Any ideas on how to fix this? Some calls work, most don't...
Yes!
I have the same issue on my Oneplus 8 Pro!
It's an awful bug.

I've found a temporary solution : I've installed a third phone app, set it as default phone app, and then set the OnePlus phone app as default again.
after reboot, the issue is gone for a few days.
but it come again...
Maybe it can work for you too?

I do have the should I answer app installed which is supposed to be set as the primary dialer, and does have its own UI for answering calls, but that doesn't come up either. Even when swapping from one to the other, rebooting or not.
I had a chat with OnePlus, they told me to reset my network settings which I did, and it began to work just fine, but today it's doing it again and I've done nothing to the phone. Changed no settings, installed no apps, etc...
My solution is, answering a call by holding the phone to the ear (in quick gestures, lift to answer or something alike (I'm Dutch))
It doesn't show the button but it works
Honestly,
I have had many phones... LG Gx, Galaxy Sx, Huawei PxxPro, and the OnePlus 6.
The OnePlus 6 was my best experience.
But I'm very disappointed about the amount of bugs on this 1000€ OnePlus 8 Pro...
I think I found the solution... I might be wrong, need to do more testing.
Settings > Battery > Battery Optimization > Tap the 3 dots at the top right corner and select Advanced optimization
On that screen, I disabled the "Sleep standby optimization" and so far it's worked perfectly.
I did this because a lot of my apps, with and without optimization would not give me notifications until I unlocked me phone, as though my phone was deep sleeping. Makes me wonder if this was preventing the phone app from displaying the UI because it was in too deep of a sleep.
This is already disabled on mine, and I have the issue [emoji6]
Do you guys use Android auto? I was having this issue after disconnecting from my car and car mode is still running.
Hey, it may be the cause!
How did you solve that?
@smalltownbird ?
I don't really know. I factory reset and it has been fine.

Short term solution is, after you unplug from your car, in your notifications it says something like driving mode enabled. Click it and you should be able to answer calls again.

15 days ago, I have clicked on the option to avoid this notification to display (on the notification option). [emoji26][emoji26]
Can you tell me the name of the app who "send" this notification? So that I can re-enable it?
I did the same thing, that's why I factory reset. I could not find it anywhere to reenable.
I've tried to clear cache and data from android auto. I'll see if it works the next time I take my car
Maybe you can try something to help me?
When the notification is displayed, you swipe it on the left, and click on the wheel : the name of the app I'll be displayed on top.

So, I've found the answer
It's true, it's related to the driving mode.
As I have chosen, a few weeks ago to hide the notification related to the "driving mode" still open when I leave my car, I was fxcked.
I've wipe cache of the phone app : no result
I've reset presets of the phone on android settings : no results.
I've wiped cache of the phone : victory : the problem is solved : I have the notification to close the "driving mode" still open.
So if you want to do the same thing :
Power off your OnePlus 8 Pro.
Push power and low volume at the same tame until the phone ask you your code .
You now select English language, wipe cache and data, wipe cache, ok and then reboot.
Don't wipe data, just cache, or you will loose all your datas [emoji6]
How has it been working for you? I still have the issue even after doing what your said.
Running XXXNoLimits, OOS 10.3, Elemental X kernal
Did not update anything this week. Now, under settings-google there is "covid-19 notifications". Had to have been either carrier pushed or a google back door. I don't even have a google account on my phone!
Shows "on/1app" but when I push it the screen just goes dark until I hit back.
Titanium and App ops can't find it.
I keep bluetooth off and only turn location on when I need Magic Earth Maps, then turn it back off, however, the pisses me the f**k off that it has been loaded on my phone.
I have a Samsug Tab running Lineage and it is not there, but the tab is wifi only. Tried Lineage 3 times on my phone and can not get Signal messenger to work and that is a deal breaker for me.
Anyway, how do we get rid it this??
Is this the screen you are referring to, but with different info populating it?

I don't have any Covid apps installed so for me there are no settings to turn on or off; this form of contact tracing is not yet available where I live.
The big question is what app on your phone is being detected as a contact tracing app.
Sent from my ONEPLUS A6013 using Tapatalk
How do the notifications look like? Regular notifications? Perhaps take a screenshot when you see another one. You should be able to trace which app (or system element) is spewing out these nuisances by long pressing the notification and take more actions by tapping the gear icon top right...
@franken..... I actually don't get to that screen, but that is the right place. Checked a another Android and that is the screen it goes to, mine just goes black.
@timmmmm...haven't gotten any notifications as I don't have any covd apps.
Settings does, however show "on/1 app". I am guessing a glitch since I have leashed google w xxx, Titanium, and App Opps.
I have not done the last system update. Don't have a google account, but do have a google Fi sim card since I live overseas and it works here.
I read google pushed this out as a new setting, for those that download covid apps, blah, blah, blah.......but HOW?
And how do we get rid of it. Article I read on a UK new site said "usage and diagnostics" is where you can turn it off and on, my phone was and is set to off, but I still wanna get rid of it.
That's part of a Google Play Services update, you can't remove it.
If you don't opt-in explicitly, it should not have any effect.
Do you really want to trust that? I personally wouldnt trust anything said or done at this point. For sometime my phone's been acting weird. Note 9 completely stock. But my g7 power rooted since day one with a global variant still runs like a charm. I'd rather just remove it or better yet permanently disabled it through some exploit.

What exactly do you think the phone is doing with that Covid-19 notification setting without an app to drive it? Contact tracer apps need to plug into the local health authority, and only a few places in the US are doing it because people are so suspicious of big tech. I would gladly participate but it's not available in my area.

The only way to get rid of it is to delete Google Play Services. That's how they snuck it in. On Android Pie it's simple. Just debloat via ADB using pm list packages prompt and voila! it's gone. On Android 10 it works the same EXCEPT none of the google apps, firefox, instacart, or anything like that will WORK. So you can de-google all you want - they've baked it into everything. It's something I'm struggling with now since I was forced to upgrade.
Hello,
I've a OP 8Pro running on Android 11 (11.0.9.9.IN11BBA), since the last hot fix with the recent security updates and fixes released by OP I'm facing an issue when using mobile data, if i try to browse google discover services I get the prompt as if i'm not connected to internet, then when trying to browse on google chrome i get the error "ERR_NO_SUPPORTED_PROXIES", however, if i open pages in private mode all is working fine, other services like WhatsApp or others apps are working fine and there is internet connection through 4G.
I tried clear up cache & data of google apps, reinstall google apps, reset default APN from the carrierr, reboots and other suggestions I've found browsing around forums but so far no luck... and is currently frustrating since common google things are not working.
Hello @pepi0
I have a One Plus 7 pro with Android 11 and I have the same problem. Did you found the solution?
Thanks a lot
Any news on this, I've got the same issue and alsoo tried everything the thread starter tried without luck
I've been struggling with this problem for more than a year and came up with the conclusion it has something to do with planned obsolescence or Oneplus phone.
My Android phone is 5 years old (Oneplus 5T) and I have the issue only with google apps. I've also tried to clear up cache & data of google apps, reinstall google apps, reset default APN from the carrierr, reboots and other suggestions but absolutely no change at all.
I found a temporary solution:
Whenever the app is not working, disable and enable mobile data and go back to the app .
It works for me for every google app but chrome.
I decided to buy a new phone with Black Friday and the issue is solved on the new phone, but I couldn't add any of my current credit cards to google wallet, because of a more annoying and unsolvable bug...
Since the new phone did not offer a huge User Experience difference from Oneplus I'm returming the phone and went back to my old OnePlus.
For the chrome issue I've decided to switch to another default browser and voilà!
Sorry it's not more helpful but hope it might be of any use...
Hey! It's me again!
Seeing that it seemed related to OnePlus phones from every message in the thread I just called OnePlus support and got the following troubleshooting:
1) Go to Google Play Store settings and set App Download preferences to "Ask me everytime"
2) Open Google Play Store App info, then reach the 3dots menu on the top right and uninstal updates.
3) It will ask if you want to replace the app with Factory Version. Tap Yes
4) Do the same for every Google App having issues
5) You might need to restart the phone or the apps won't work
The key is to NEVER update the apps again and make sure they wont update automatically. It's kind of annoying to say the least but (for now...) I won't have to buy another phone.

Hi, need to add that I've LG G8s, not an OnePlus. But the exact same symptoms. Reverting the GApps isn't a possibility for me, since LG rolled out 2 big updates, the last one before christimas, bringing the device to Android 12.
I tried several things the last months:
e.g. I tried the SIM card of my girlfriend, who has another provider, and everything worked on mobile data. So I asked my provider for a new SIM card, reset APN, no changes, no GApps working...
I then ended up hard resetting the device and installing everything from the scratch again, no change.
But I've made another interesting observation... Installing a VPN (WIndscribe) and connecting to it while on mobile data will make all GApps work again. As soon as I disconnect, the're offline again?!
So my conclusion as a noob, there must be some wrong settings (in the system, google dependent), which even with hard reset an APN reset aren't fixed. Any ideas?
