Just picked up my Galaxy S3 today on the Sprint network. I'm trying to change the owner information displayed on my lock screen. Whenever I launch the Owner Information section under the settings/security menu, the phone goes to a black screen and then comes back stating "Unfortunately, Settings has stopped."
Has anyone else noticed or experienced this, or can you replicate the issue?
Thanks.

I've got the same problem. No Idea what could help. Did you find anything out?
Nope, mine works fine
Same problem. The last time I had the same problem with language and input and I noticed it happened because I had disabled s voice. This time I don't know what is causing the issue. Some app might be coming in the way. I have avast anti theft installed so that may be causing the problem. Not sure.
Which carrier do you have? I have Sprint, and my owner information works fine.
Unlocked international version.
I finally made a factory reset and then selected NOT to restore from my Google account. Then it worked fine. I only had to do the settings again. The user apps I could restore with Titanium Backup.
Everything OK now.
I don't wanna reset my phone. There has got to be another way.
So strange that something like owner info would crash. I've reset my phone 3 times in a week and had no problems with it.

Interesting...glad you worked it out but in contrast, I always restore from Google and my owner info works fine. But stranger things have happened. I lost copy/paste after rooting, ended up flashing the stock AT&T rom that's rooted and deodexed and all has been well ever since. Go figure
I think there's a bug (either by Samsung or by Google) when restoring from the Google account. When I select to restore from the Google Account my S3 takes the data from my tablet and I suppose that it cannot handle the information I stored in the owner information of the tablet.
I am pretty sure, all of us who are having this problem have something in common. Some app in all probability cause it does not seem to be a very common problem.

Spot any common apps apart from the pre-installed apps?
[Q] |ROM| |★GOLDENEYE★|►XXUENA4◄|4.3|JB|TW| |►20◄|JAN.23.14 Gear Weather App
Hey, I know this has been brought up a couple weeks ago in the Goldeye DEV thread,. My wife got me a Gear watch from Wally.com, which a love btw. I always run GoldenEye, however, version 18.2 and prior doesn't update the watch weather app. Anyone else have these issues? Is it working in lastest ROM? THx :good:
I recently bought a Galaxy S4 I9505 to replace my S3 that is near destroyed.
So everything goes well until much recently when I updated it to the latest firmware i can get 4.4.2 I9505XXUGNJ5
The Messaging app crashes when I open the settings to edit some stuff.
It did not happen with the previous firmware and I dont know why.
I tried a couple solutions like clear data and cahce but no results.
Anyone please kindly help me by giving some solutions.
Better yet you guys can give me the apk file for the stock messaging app from the system dump that does not crash when opening the settings.
Thanks.
Or you can use a different messaging app.
I use hello at the moment. It's very simple and clean. Not much customization.
Or, another favorite of mine, YAATA. It's currently still in beta. But it works with no problems and has lots of customization. Also offers chatheads options (like facebook messenger)
ive recently got an S7 edge and im in the process of setting it up as i like it... ive had a galaxy alpha for 2 years and ive got the samsung weather app widget installed. the new samsung weather app doesnt appear to have the animated background like the old one. its just transparant and frankly boring lol.
i tried to install the old app on the s7 (its called AccuweatherPhone2014_s_lmr_HD its the same as the S5 weather app too) but of course that would be too easy. it fails and says "the package conflicts with an existing package by the same name".. i cant uninstall the new version and i cant seem to disable it either.
is there a way to install the old app? i figured that changing the packageID might do it. i tried APKeditor pro and also apk cloner. neither seemed to work. but im no expert with APKs.
any suggestions as to what i can do?
You can try to install the package disabler or the package disabler pro version for samsung devices, and then try to unable the package of the new version of accuwither app and then try to install the old one.
If that's not working you can root your phone and then you will be able to do with it almost anything u want.
Or u can flash a custom ROM and download the app you want
Sent from my Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge using XDA Labs
didnt want to root the phone as i use the sky app at lot and that doesnt work with rooted phones as far as i know.
in the end i tried a few other weather apps.. one was called weather live and that was really good. i liked it enough that i ended up upgrading quite soon after (for a whole 50p lol) and its just as good, maybe slightly better than the other one.. it even displays information in the AOD which the other app didnt do.
Hi Everyone,
This is my first post in this forum, my apologies if I posted in the wrong thread.
Does anyone know how to install the new Samsung Galaxy Essential Widget for the Samsung S5 900i?
By new widget, I mean the widget in 4x1 format recommending apps with redirection to the app page. My existing widget is not dynamic as the one recently updated in S7. For more details I have attached the two screenshots for each version.
I've tried to install the new launcher without success, also I'm not quite sure which App services this belongs to. Many thanks in advance
