This would be nice in the thread I made! Some people, like myself might not be convinced that a reset can fix a lot of problems (besides the GPS related ones) and need a little extra convincing.

I've been contemplating on doing a full reset.
@kolyan, did you keep the stock GPS settings or did you change it out after the reset? I'm curious....
Can you list other improvements you've noticed?
All I can say about this is I wiped my phone to prep it for exchange tomorrow, since some were reporting success with different phones. I was having horrid gps issues. Navigate, pre-wipe was taking 5 minutes or more, before it locked and stopped searching for gps. When I tried it after the wipe, it took a few seconds. Not to be beaten so easily, I rebooted and tried again. It again worked quickly. I've been randomly checking all day and the longest it has taken is maybe 20 seconds. Pre-wipe, that never happened. There may be merit to this if it hasn't been tried. Don't know if it will work for everyone, but it certainly worked for me. At least for my gps issues (fingers crossed).
BTW, I had all my apps backed up (146, I just looked) and everything went back fine. Took a while for the restore, but it looks just as it did before the wipe. I never restore system settings, so I had to do it manually, but it was worth it.
Before anyone asks, my compass is still pooched...
Perhaps we should also realize that the bug with the compass might be caused by the app.

Which app? Maps? Layar? Every compass app? When I get time I'll get something that spits out raw sensor data. It's dampening is way too much.

so far GPS is stock, but i dont use it much so i dont know the best settings here
GUI was a bit slow (loading here, loading there), had some minor FC (like when adding picture to contact, had to do it from desktop, in phone i got FC), Engadget widget didnt work 100% (back button had to be double clicked, single click didnt work), in launcher all widgets kept reloading (LauncherPro fixed this, but after reset it work like a charm in stock launcher as well), also had multi-tasking issue and now its gone....
Just wondering, What did you use for backup/restore?

i used to use Titanium backup, but i noticed that some (not all) apps didnt work correctly when restored, so I prefer to do everything manually to make sure everything works
Titanium Backup for me. It took a long time to go back, but it all seemed to work well. I haven't found anything broken because of it yet. Before this phone I would get broken market links and I'd have to restore app data twice sometimes, but it seems to be working well so far.
Also, as far as the rest goes. I am getting less stalling, but it's still there. It also fixed an issue I picked up with Quadrant somewhere along the line where it would hang during the i/o test. Another strange one was if I had gps in use, I could put my phone to sleep by turning it 180 degrees a couple times. That went away.
Just noticed facebook won't sync after the reset... Not sure what that's about.

YES!!! today I noticed when using a different micro usb cable the computer could not find the phone maybe just maybe the configurations are different for these samsung phones. Just because the third party apps don't show an accurate reading doesn't mean they don't find you. I have had NO gps problems in ANY application, I listed somewhere else 6 different applications all worked fine and found me and lead me in the right direction.

I agree with that, for sure. It seems after playing with Android for over a year, I think a lot has to do with data integrity. I've many times rebuilt by hand and installed all my bazillion apps by hand after a wipe and had it work fine. Backup, reset. It's worth a shot. Most of us are here to tinker and learn. Can't do that without some pain!

Oh, I thought you were talking about my crack about the compass. It needs a fix. The only issue I have with that train of thought, is when you use the dialer code to get into the gps settings and run the gps test in there, it doesn't care what the data stream looks like for the most part. It's looking directly at the gps/driver for it's info. It locks when it locks. I don't know, it's making my brain hurt.
When you say Reset are you talking a wipe from recovery or a Reset from inside the phone that basically sets the phone up for a new user?

Data integrity is probably it.
Ex. I had a card game and after ti restore everything seemed to work except double click. before reset, engadget back button didnt work......

I think it's the same? Not verified' but when I did it from the phone menu in settings, it rebooted into recovery and automatically deleted data, system and I think cache. Not sure exactly because I wasn't paying attention as I wasn't expecting it. It also flashed something. Maybe someone that's trying it could do both and see if there is a difference?

i believe some cables are charge only (like a lot of motorola cables) and others are charge/data cables - i went looking for a 180 degree adaptor (micro usb) and found them listed as 5 pin and 14 pin cables - suspect the other 9 pins are data transfer
very glad i did this reset...made a world of difference
People are mentioning back-up. All my contacts are obviously on my Google account, and I don't have any saved games or anything. Does Android let us re-download purchased apps after a phone reset? Would seem kind of dumb to not have that option.
Hi guys.
I did a search on this issue but it didn't bring up any results.
I'm having issues with motweets crashing on me, anyone else had similar problems and if so can you recommend a fix please?
I'm a UK user on Virgin, I generally keep my phone clean and tidy. Not many apps on it to be honest, plenty of spare memory on both the phone and the memory card. I run cleanRAM and Temp Clear at least once a day and reboot the phone every couple of days just to be on the safe side. I've uninstalled (motweets) and reinstalled it several times on to both the phone and the card but it does the same on either. Basically it started crashing (completely closing with no warning) once a week or so, but now it does it almost immediately after it's updated when I start the programme. I'm pretty sure it's not a 'newer' version than the one I've been using for a few months now, with no issues previously, so I don't think it's a 'software update' problem from Panoramic.
Any suggestions because I can't work it out? Am I missing something really obvious, like a cache folder that needs emptying, or something similar.
I'm by no means an expert but neither would I say I'm a novice too, so any help would be appreciated.
Thanks in advance.
Regards.
Darren.
I have no problems with Motweets,I'm also on Virgin and have loads of Apps loaded on my phone.
Currently running V 1.8.5 which I believe is the latest version brought out
to solve the Oauth log in problems...
Hope that is some help to you Flatcap ?
yip - have had the same problem today.
motweets has worked fine so far. but to say it crashes around 5-15 secs after opening

Sounds almost identical to my problem, very strange.
I was using HTC Peep but moved over to motweets after the OAuth c**k up. And to be honest, as a Twitter App, it's streets ahead of Peep so I stayed with it. I am using the free version though, the adverts are discreet enough, so I don't really see them as a problem.
Flatcap.
I had the same problem, went back to using the built in app for a while, then after a few days tried MoTweets again and it worked fine for a couple of weeks.
Now it's crashing as above once more!
Is anyone experiencing an issue when using the dialer in stock KF3? It freezes for a few seconds when switching between the tabs (Keypad, Logs, Contacts and Favourites).
This wasn't like this when I first got the phone. But suddenly it started to behave badly. This is the only problem I've experienced.
I'm running stock unrooted KF3.
Please help me.
If it weren't there from the first then you may have installed something which is causing the issue?

Wonder what that could be. Maybe Skype influencing with the dialer or something. I'll try uninstalling.
But now I got a FC:
Activity Phone (in process android.process.acore) is not responding
I tried switching back and forth from Keypad to Contacts, everything was fine.
Also I tried switching from Contacts to Favourites, everything fine.
But when I try to switch to/from Logs, everything freezes/lags.
I tried cleaning Logs (call history), everything fine now.
WOW WEIRD!
That shouldn't be a solution, I mean removing Call history, nah. How long was it anyway? I've mine for 2 months since I purchased, never had a prob!

About the same, 2 months.
Maybe I do a factory reset if this occurs again.
Oh well, now I am scared if it will happen to me as well, least both of us on KF3!

Hi all,
for the last few days I keep having random reboots with my N10, as well as random lock-ups.
Started a few days after the 4.4.3 OTA update.
happens like this:
I'm trying to wake up my tablet with the power button but nothing happens so I have to reboot.
Or, I am just normally using my tablet ant it spontaneously reboots, without warning, and also without any kind of lockup before that.
What is really annoying is that after such a reboot the tablet is not actually usable: none of the normal autostart apps initialize properly;
flipboard doesnt refresh, calendar widget does not show any entries, mail widget does not show anything, etc etc etc.
I'm on stock 4.4.3, but rooted with SuperSU.
it did not start right after the 4.4.3 OTA, only a few days later (actually, i think on friday or saturday).
Is there a way to get into the system logs to see what is up?
...turn on auditing, maybe?
Any other suggestions that might help me? What kind of details do you need?
Hi,
It looks like someone got a possible solution. I didn't test because I don't face random reboots on my Nexus.

Hi,
It looks like the person in the other thread set it to always display on notification bar, nothing other than that... As I said I didn't test so I can't tell you how possible it is for working or anything, sorry. I just gave this solution for now, if it doesn't work then I'd have to think a bit further .

TBH I don't know what the hell happened to my phone one day I picked up my phone and EVERY SINGLE APP I open just lasts for a minuet and crashes for no reason!? even my keyboard my TouchWiz launcher EVERYTHING!! I think the problem from this app: (Android WebView) because someone who have the same phone have this very same problem.
One more thing the screen is doing weird things too?!
Anyone who knows what the hell is happening to my phone please let me know what to do.
PS: It's a stock Note 4 running Android 5.0.1 lollipop not rooted N910C Exynos variant.
Thanks in advance!

Have you tried doing a factory reset, that would probably help...

Actually after posting this I did a factory reset but just after updating several apps the problem came again.
One thing that I noticed that when I leave the screen without touching it the app stays just fine like YouTube watching movies and like that but when I start browsing and scrolling the app crash... WTF?!

That is kinda odd really....maybe flashing a different firmware would help.I haven't really experienced app crashing like that...

Thanks for your time man!
Yeah that's really what bothers me a lot!
I cleared the cache but it helped for a few hours and came back again but now I force-stopped that app and then unstalled the updates then disabled it, Now I don't have any problems "for now" but I think that app really missed up my screen because the screen before disabling it was giving weird colors... anyway I really hope that it'll never encounter me again! My phone was literally unusable!
