Setting Keep Crashing - G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi all, I have a D802 with the latest Android Lollipop. Recently, I can't access the phone's setting. Everytime I try launching the Setting app, it will just quickly show an app crash message then jump back to the app drawer. I tried rebooting the phone and would really like to avoid resetting the phone (even soft reset is not possible as I still need access to the Setting app in order to do a factory reset). Any advice? Many many thanks.

i think a factory reset its needed.

How can i reset my device

Hi,
I rooted my device because mine was not accepting many market apps. But after i rooted it and tried using market enabler, the market app has started crashing with com.process.vendee and now even when i wanted to unroot the gingerbreak apps is also crashing although it gives super user permissions.
Any idea what to do? I am still stuck at HC 3.0.1. Will a factory reset take it back to factory settings i.e the way it was when i purchased it. Is it like pressing reset button or something else.
pl advise?
Settings -->>PRIVACY -->> .... etc

thanks for your reply. but I can't even launch the market app. as it close with forced close error.
the device is dead. it can boot normally. but every and each app is closing with application error.
I can't even perform factory reset. as it doesn't seem to do anything.
I can't install any apps from google play as it is crashing.
hard reset not working too.

[Q] Phone is acting up

My moms phone has been acting up whenever I open the dialer there's a force close. The phone is stock and never been rooted. I have tried factory resetting and formatting everything but i still get the FC I think it would be better to root it what do you guys think ? if so what steps would i take to root it ?
Try clearing data in the app itself.

My profile not staying...

I go in and set my "profile" on my phone and every time I restart the phone it is gone and I have to reset it all. I tried to do a factory reset that didn't help. tried to clear data on the contacts app that didn't help. just did the lolipop OTA and that didn't help either. anyone have any ideas????

Stuck on 'Phone is starting' after updating to Android 12

Hello!
I tried to update my phone (SM-G975U) via Odin from Android 9 to Android 12, got the firmware from SamFw.com. Everything went fine until the phone rebooted, after unlocking the phone gets stuck on 'phone is starting'. I CAN access the Set Up Menu, Uninstall apps, move some settings here and there, connect to Wifi/Bluetooth, receive calls, install apps using ADB. Also, theres a notification all the time that reads 'Phone restarted Unlock your phone to get app notifications', I'm assuming that the phone thinks it is not unlocked and that's why it doesn't fully boot up.
Some things that I've already tried:
Intalling another Launcher (Pixel Launcher)
Reinstalling the firmware (ver G975USQU6IVC7) / Trying with different CSC with no results
Wiping Cache in Recovery Mode
Deleting/Adding Fingerprints
Changing from Lock Pattern to NIP to Password
I don't really want to do the full wipe, I would like to keep my data or be able to export the photos (Device not Recognized by Smart Switch also)
Is there anything else I can do?, has anyone been through the same issue?
Is your phone rooted?

No, it's not rooted
Hi !
@DannOsnaya have you found a solution to the phone problem other than restoring to factory settings?
I have the same problem at the moment, almost identical to what you experienced.
If anyone has some advice on how to fix this problem, please share your advice.

Any way to factory reset. I tried every possible way following YouTube but nothing works. It's just stuck. I've a backup of my data so not worried.
No, I still have the same issue.
Have you tried to install a launcher?

Nothing works. Now decided to show it to anyone. I guess the mobile shops have an option to erase everything. I don't understand how did it happen because it's usually with my toddler, he might have done something.

I followed a video and wiped out. Finally successful. I wasn't worried about data as Google has a backup.
I followed this method and finally it's factory reset.
