Ok so after not using my tablet for a few days I picked it up and tried running some apps like facebook and chrome. These apps constantly force closed and I was not able to bring up the keyboard or even the setting menu. After many resets I tried factory resetting the device by going into the bootloader and wiping data. After waiting for probably close to 30-45 minutes for it to complete the wipe it reset and came up with the android guy and a spinning gear on its back with the text (erasing data...) below it. I left it on that for probably a total of 6-7 hours with no change. After hard resetting and trying to reboot it still comes up the same. Now i am able to get into the bootloader but am unable to access the recovery because that same message comes up. Any help is appreciated.

I think I have a problem that has not been covered yet. I have an Acer A500 that works just fine but will randomly restart. When it restarts it always hangs at the Acer logo. I can then hold the power button to turn the tablet off and then turn it back on again and it will start up fine without issue but will then restart again a short while later. I notice it happen maybe 10 times a day, possibly more. The other day it went a couples hours without a restart but eventually did. My students can play games, get on the internet, etc just fine until it resets again. I believe it has only reset when in standby but I cant say for sure.
The OS is up to date. I tried a hard reset and reset with the OS to factory settings several times without luck. It can have 100 apps on it and reset or no apps on it, it doesnt matter. I notice no difference in turning off the wifi. It doesnt seem to reset on a schedule.
Any ideas? It sure would be nice if my students could actually use the tablet rather than have it sitting around doing nothing.

If it's running stock ics, it's a common issue. Blame Acer and their buggy rom.
You could perform a data reset but that wipes all user data.
You may want to install custom rom, but you will need the tabs cpuid and skrilax_cz unlocked boot loader plus a good couple ours for prep and installation. See the root guide in my Sig for info

Completely stock, not rooted or bootloaded.
After my KK OTA came in I wanted to try ART for a while. Enabled it and then went through the reboot. On the Android is Upgrading screen it would get to a certain app being optimized and then freeze. I'd reboot and it would cut down the number of apps that are getting optimized until it got to just 1 of 1.
Now it just stops there and freezes after 15 seconds or so of being optimized. It won't go past that, I've spent the entire day today giving it time to sit and then try again or just let it fester frozen for anywhere from a few minutes to a few hours.
Question is, what do I do in order to reset my device in a way to past it.
Well, I have no idea how it fixed itself, I went to do a hard reset, couldn't get it go into the documented recovery mode, and then it worked.
Frustration.
Hey guys, I have had my Note 4 for about 3 years now and it has never done me wrong. However, things have taken a turn for the worse... I started noticing a few days ago that it was slowing down on me, I mean, really slowing down. Big lag times when it comes to swiping to open the screen, or changing between apps, and the occasional self-shut down when the battery got down to about 15-20%. I had been putting off doing a self-update for a while, and when I finally had time to do one tonight, in hopes of cleaning it up, it is now lying on its death bed
I do not think the update ever finished (my phone is not rooted) but I was desperate enough to even do a factory reset and that has not fixed the issue.
Here are the symptoms:
As I go to boot the phone, I get past the Samsung Note logo and it looks like it is about to load properly, but then I get a popup that says "Unfortunately, the process com.android.phone has stopped" I hit ok and it keeps popping up again. I can't bypass it.. Then after I get passed that for a split second, another popup comes up that says "unfortunately system UI has stopped" It prevents me from getting to the home screen, in fact the screen behind it is black.
I have tried the following:
Clearing the cache partition from the recovery screen
I have done numerous hard restarts
I have gone through with a factory restart
That is where I have left off, and lost most hope, was with the factory restart. Now when I turn it on, I get past the logos and I can see in the background the page you would get as if it was a brand new phone (it says "Welcome! Preparing you device for first time use.." etc. But I can't do anything about it because I am still getting the same two popups that prevent me from doing absolutely everything!!!)
I have read about this happening and people seem to be able to fix this by accessing certain app setting and either resetting them, or clearing their cache. However, that is not an option for me because I can't get that far. I think something must have went wrong during the update...
Please help with any advice you can think of. I have been putting off rooting this phone pretty much because I was afraid of royally f****** it up, but at this point I am willing to try anything.
Thanks,
Eric
Hey guys, does anyone have any suggestions for my issue?? I am about to go out and buy a new phone, I have no idea what I can do to fix this. I have rooted it using Odin, but the popups are still occurring. I can't get the popups to stop, and they are preventing me from doing absolutely everything.
Is there anyway I can get it to go back to complete scratch? Again, I have done a factory reset, cleared the cache, rooted using Odin. I have done everything I can think of/what I have read I can do. I am willing to try anything at this point.
UPDATE: At this point my phone is on, and the only error message/popup I am getting is "Unfortunately, System UI has stopped." Behind that popup is a blank, black screen. The only option I have is to click ok, and the screen remains black.
Temporary solution that might work- Try logging in safe mode: Switch off the phone. Power it on and as soon as Samsung logo appears, release the power button and press and hold the volume down button. Release button when you see Safe Mode on the lower left corner of the screen. Try uninstalling all user apps in safe mode. To get back to the normal mode you can drag down from notification and disable safe mode.
You could also download the latest software for your model from samfirm and flash it via odin after factory reset. Could be a permanent solution.
why you just flash last frimware from sammobile,it will solve all your problems
SOLVED!!!
Alright guys, I was able to solve my problem, all thanks to this thread:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/note-4-sprint/general/stock-tar-odin-flashable-t3250864
I had already tried flashing a fresh stock rom, but to no prevail. I saw this thread and thought, hey why not give it a shot, and bingo! After downloading the .tar file for marshmellow and launching it through odin, she was good as new! So if anyone seems to have a problem with the system ui or the process phone.android popup, I suggest that thread.
Been a while since I had any issues with a phone I couldn't fix, but this is usually the best place to come when you run into something weird. Whilst I very much suspect that my phone has reached the end, there maybe something I can do if someone here has seen this before and managed to fix it.
A couple of days ago my phone started acting weird. Google assistant would start up for no apparent reason. Sometimes if I was in an app I'd just get a pop-up message but at other times I'd be taken to my home screen. The frequency came and went, but at it's worst it would happen every few seconds and would last for a good 5-10 minutes.
Thought it was just something weird in the OS so I booted back to the factory reset menu, wiped the cache and the system partition and started again. That didn't work. The start-iup process began with voice assistant turned on and every button click requiring activation and double clicking. I've since tried 5 factory resets.
I've disabled Google Assistant now and removed any updates. I've wiped out it's cache and tried all of the settings to make it stop so I no longer get Google Assisitant launching, but I do get something happening which asks me to "complete action using" and shows me the Samsung internet app, S Voice and Quick dial.
This is making me wonder if I'm looking at a hardware problem. I've switched everything off and given everything a good clean just in case one of the buttons has something stuck in it but that hasn't changed the situation.
If anyone here has any ideas or suggestions then they would be very gratefully received.
Thank you
Clean dalvik cache and update stock software through odin or custom rom may solve your problem
Thanks, will give it a go, forgot about the dalvik cache in the last reset so a good heads up. Will have to look into Odin, not had to use that in years.
This is really starting to get on my nerves now. Ever since I got my new S10+ from AT&T, it's occasionally done this thing where after I reboot the phone, I unlock it, and it briefly says "starting phone" on the home screen, and then will mysteriously do a quick reset, where it skips the AT&T logo and jingle, and just shows the Samsung splash screen , then takes me back to the lockscreen and it's usually fine after that.
However, Just now I decided to reset my phone, like one should do periodically, and it did the strange double reset after unlocking... Then when I unlocked it, after the "starting phone" message I tried to open a browser, and BAM! Quick reset again! Unlocked, let it start up, tried to open an app, BAM quick reset again after the screen briefly shifted from landscape to portrait mode (even though I was still holding it long ways in landscape position). Its never done this before and I'm getting concerned. It's never randomly reset while using the phone, this only happens right after a reset.
Any ideas? I've already tried wiping partition cache after big updates, doing soft resets. I'm worried that I'm going to have to end up resorting to a factory wipe, as others suggested I do when I was having battery drain issues on the ASD3 firmware, possibly because of restoring everything from a backup of my last phone when I got this one. Because supposedly restoring from backups from AT&T, Google or Samsung has caused all sorts of problems for people. I really don't want go wipe everything and spend hours try to get it all back on here manually if i don't have to.

Had an issue with this early on but seems to have been fixed at some point, I'm I'm exynos though so probably not much help!

Dang... So it does appear to be an issue experienced on both Exynos and Snapdragon variants. I wonder if there is or will be a fix for this. I've been asking around and haven't gotten many responses about this problem at all. I'm concerned because it seems to be getting worse than when I first got the phone.
I'm having the exact same problem. Sometimes it goes through quick reset, full reset, a couple more quick, then back to the Verizon logo, then starts up. Opening an app at that point usually does another quick, then full, then everything works. Glad I'm not the only one, but I haven't found any solutions either.

Mine does the same. Unlocked bought directly from Samsung. I don't reboot the phone very often so it doesn't bother me that much.
