[Q] Google Play Edition 4.4.2 - Backup & Reset Settings Crash - Droid RAZR M Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Good Afternoon,
I searched around and was unable to come up with any answers, or similar forums for that matter.
I would post this in the thread that I downloaded the update from, however I'm apparently a noob
and am unworthy to post there until I post ten times.
>> http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2761322
Anyways, I downloaded Google Play Edition 4.4.2 for X907, I updated from the official VZW 4.4.2
using RSD Lite. So far I love it, however there's one thing that erks me, when ever I try and open
"Backup and Reset" under the Settings Menu I'm informed that "Settings has stopped working".
When I flashed the update, I kept userdata, I did however Erase Cache and Dalvik Cache.
Any help would be greatly appreciated, it bugs me that this one thing doesn't work
Thanks.

Hmm. just a thought on yours, might be wrong but did you flash an official or take the OTA for 4.4.2 prior to upgrading to the Google Play Edition of 4.4.2? If not that's your problem.
Hope that helps..

I'd just backup using TWRP and then if you want to factory reset, do it on TWRP as well. I had GPE and don't recall this issue, though I did a full data wipe when I did because I wanted a fresh start.

Thanks, I was hoping not to have to resort to that, as it's such a tiny problem, I just realized that my camera app is having difficulty focusing
although I think that's a KitKat issue. Oh well I already have a NANDROID backup, so I'll do just that, factory data reset and see if that helps if not oh well I'll just restore.
Thanks again.

I took the OTA. Guess i should flash the full stock rom. Will I be able to use xposed?

As long as you are rooted and not on ART xposed will work. I did it on my stock ROM, and also on GPE.

Go to the App Info page for the Settings app and clear data. That usually works when the settings crashes after a rom update

Thanks, it's just a bug in the gpeLse for the XT907, other users are having the same problem, no matter how many times I re-flash
and or wipe dalvik and cache the problem persists.
Probably do to the removal of something Motorola Had in place in the 4.4.2 release for the XT907, as I knew it was working with the Stock Rom.
Thanks All.

Market problem (not the download one)

Today after I flashed the latest JPX Docrom, I wanted to visit the Market. Suddenly appeared to me the following error message: "Warning: Your device may not be compatible with Android Market For more information, contact the manufacturer of this product.". In the Market I have now lost my installed applications displayed and when I search for "documents" I hit only 5 results.
What I've tried:
-Re flashed the Rom
-flashed JM9 and then the standard JPX-
-flashed CyanogenMod
-searched for errors in the build.prop
etc. ......
I really do not know what more can I do? It would be very nice if you could help me.
I'm really sorry for my bad English
Have you wiped cache & dalvik cache after install?
This should be in general...
I wiped the normal and the dalvik cache and made an factory reset.
I have the same problem too
with original JPU, JPX, JPO, JM9, JP6... with all, the problem appears again
I have the same problem!
I tryed JPU clean without any mod/kernel ecc but 2 day ago was all fine..
Someone have this problem? what can we do to resolve?
Please help...
Thanks
This could be another time a problem with google. Like with the download problem.
i had this problem too this morning (i'm not on Doc's rom or anything, just using Supercurio's VooDoo kernel on stock FroYo). I got it fixed after clearing the Market Cache, after that i restarted the Market app, and immediately had the NEW Market layout. Maybe it's worth a shot.
J.
Maybe,
but why someone have this problem and someone no...
i can't understand this absurd situation...
But I´m glad to see that this not only my problem.
got same problem... tried everything, wiping everything lots of different roms.. nothing helps
Try updating to the latest version of market. Not via phone, but either search in the xda or google it & install.

also tried this, will try it again.
Think it's somehow coupled to my google account.
Today i have the same problem. My device mounts the RSJP5 rom. I guess that it is a server issue, or a random google account issue.
Are your IMEIs ok?
Market shows & behaves perfectly for me as of THIS moment.
PS : Its even downloading Ulysse Gizmos update as of the moment.

Heeeelp...urgent ( Ill even paypal anyone that helps me )

Hey everyone I need some urgent help before I leave in 6 hours for a business trip ( and I NEED a working phone )
Long story short I was running Task650's rom with no issues for about 3-4 weeks
2 days ago my phone was just ripping through battery ( 100-0% in 2 hours ) Did some investigating and "mediascannerservice" was running none stop. I couldn't figure out why or how to fix it.
format, wiped / reset and clear cache and davik..installed the same rom
Same issue.
this time I formatted everything ( system, data, cache, sd card ) ( I had everything off that I wanted to keep )
Flashed a 4.3 rom and I couldn't install any packages ( mostly google packages like chrome and G+ ) I kept getting "package file is invalid" I did all the tricks I found online that people used to fix it...but no avail. So I thought it was a 4.3 thing.
did another wipe / format etc
I went back to Task650s rom which is a 4.2.2 rom ( that worked fine installing apps ) and I'm getting the same error ( package file is invalid )
What could be the issue? How can I fix it? What did I mess up?
any help would be greatly appreciated. I'll paypal anyone if they help me.

If you're still running tasks aokp, there is an option in developer settings to disable media scanner on boot. Try disabling it and see if it stops the drain

Clearing Play Store app cache and data and even uninstalling Play Store updates are other options.

I had that issue once yesterday while my phone tried doing an auto-update. No issues today. I was on 4.3 KB.

Man this sucks. I'm temped to ODIN back to stock and start fresh.
Try installing Hotspot Shield VPN and installing updates with it connected - worked for both my phone and my wives...it is the only thing that seems to resolve this issue - and I've been trouble shooting it for about 24 hours now. If you can't get Hotspot Shield to install, try Hideman VPN. Works just as well, but it has limited use. I had to disable wifi to get them to install.
If that works for you - I can send paypal info

did you ever answer if you had an i337 or i337m?
I use OUDhs recovery and I have been using Task 650's AOKP ROM without issue.
You must do the following:
Flash the OUDhs recovery if you dont' have it.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2291956
Per Task's Thread -
Wipe data/factory reset
wipe cache, and wipe dalvik cache (found in advanced)
format system (do this again anyway)
format data (do this again anyway)
fix permissions (found in advanced)
Flash the AOKP ROM
You can now wipe both cache again or just reboot.

Play store won't download apps

So I was running Liquid 2.9, everything was fine no issues. Got the flash bug and flashed SlimRoms build 8. Full wiped and followed the ROMs installation guide. Everything went fine. Started to download apps from the play store and after one download, all the installs freeze. So thinking it was a bad flash possibly, I re-downloaded the rom, full wipe and flashed. Problem still persists. Went back to Liquid 2.9 where there weren't issues before. Same issue downloading apps. I've cleared cache and dalvik cache. Cleared data and cache from the app store and download manager and problem still persists. Any advice or help would be much appreciated, thanks guys and girls!
Edit: I am conneted to wifi, internet is working as I can browse, sync contacts, etc..

There's a couple of threads about people having trouble with the play store. Maybe your issue is similar. It might be worth checking out just in case.

I appreciate your service in policing the forums. I searched, all the threads I've seen have ended in the OP still looking for help and more specifically not much insight in the s4 recently. Tried most of what everyone in the other threads have said to no avail soo, I came here to ask for any additional help. Thank you for your advice, I will look harder.
Are you signed into hangouts or gtalk--think this is needed
Did you wipe System as part of your full wipe--I wipe all 3X
My last step is to format sd and start over--or if you have an sdcard backup of internal. Can you replace Android with your backup--not sure if any of this sdcard stuff will help though
Reflash gapps--don't know if I ever did that on a non--cm rom

There have been no real solutions other than to download hideman vpn app and have it connect then I haven't had an issue with any app downloading. I believe this is a play store issue. Not a phone issue.

Sorry man, but there's like six of these threads going on at the same time. It's hard to keep track of all of them. And you're right, there is no definitive answer other than it appears it's an issue on Google's end.
Some other ideas here
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2089470
Or, try an older version of Play Store
Did notice another thread too--may be the Store. But, no harm trying other things--

Play Store Access

A bit of a weird one.
Updated to CM12.1 Atares ROM :good: I have been running CM12 ROMS for ages and updated to the 12.1 via the OTG in settings and using Nightlies.
I have only noticed problem yesterday and going back to CM12 just causes more problems, also going back to the previous Nightly doesn't help
I cannot access Google Play Store. 'Check your connection and try again' All WiFi settings are correct etc... even when using mobile data, I still cannot get access.
My GT1905 has disappeared off my devices list on the play store too! I've also noticed that Google+ has disappeared off my phone too, but more interestingly my SUBCARD app has gone too! (not sure if others have gone but I noticed this as I like a subway :yum: ) But... if I go to the playstore on my phone (or PC/tablet etc...) via chrome it says it's installed! I cannot access it via my apps list.
So other than doing a wipe of my phone if there any other suggestions?
Did you perform a full wipe before updating?
You cannot just flash it over an old CM 12 you need a fresh install.

Well I would of done if it hadn't come via the OTA updates, never noticed it went from CM12 to CM12.1 until Monday/Tuesday last week.
Will do a full wipe later on today and see what happens.

Custom rom OTA's are not like official rom OTA's. Doing a wipe is still recommended. Anyway, force stopping google play and clearing app cache and data might help you in this case.
Had similar issues on other roms, even though I wiped before flashing.

I tried clearing all data and cache and also force stopping. WhisperPush kept crashing too.
Wiped the phone and started again, all sorted now with CM12.1 latest nightly build
Cheers for the advice guys.

S7 Edge - Unfortunately, <app> has stopped.

Hi all,
First time poster, so please excuse me if this is not the correct section.
I got the S7 Edge, absolutely love the thing. As a semi-experienced smartphone user, i have used a load of devices, and this one is my favourite!
Unfortunately, on Tuesday past it developed an issue. I receive an error that says "Unfortunately, <app> has stopped". Now the <app> can be Google Play Services, Camera, WhatsApp. You name it, any third party or system app, i get this message one after the other and then the phone reboots.
I proceeded with a factory restore, on the first screen of setup where i select my language, the errors started again. I noticed you could clear the cache from the boot screen so i done that, restored again, same problem.
I am now getting a replacement device, but i cannot for the life of me figure out what is causing this? Is it a corrupt memory module? Is this an issue experienced quite commonly? I'm really not sure, so i am here for expert advice.
Thanks,
Skyco
Yeah, questions go in the Help section. Not a big deal--a mod will move it there shortly.
Did you do the factory reset in settings or recovery? It shouldn't matter since either way should wipe the cache partition.

I performed a factory reset through both ways, first i selected the factory restore options through settings. The second time, after i wiped the cache partition i booted the phone up and manually selected the factory restore.
The next thing I'd try is using Odin to re-flash the stock ROM, but that won't be necessary since you're getting a replacement device.

Out of curiosity, how would i go about doing that? What risks involved in flashing the ROM?

First, go to http://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/ and get the firmware for your device and region. Dial *#1234# to find the firmware/CSC you're currently on.
Download Odin here and follow the instructions for flashing the ROM.
Since the ROM is made for your phone, there are no risks flashing it. If you try to flash the wrong ROM or do something wrong, it will simply fail.
