Unfortunately Settings has stopped ( Device administration settings) - Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers

Hello for every-time i try to change i try to change something in device administration settings i get "Unfortunately Settings has stopped" i can't uninstall Greenify because it has device administrator privileges. HELP!!

Had the same issue with another app, and without root I couldn't fix it, had to hard reset. Hope someone has a solution for this, it's happened to a few users now.
You can try to freeze with the so app used to debloat Samsung, search debloat s7 no root and you'll find it.
But it will still be there, just not operating.
Good luck.

HELP! the application Market (process com.android.vending) has stopped unexpectedly.

So despite innumerable threads on this strange issue, I'm not seeing a definitive answer on how to fix the problem.
Clearing cache on "download manager" and "market" DOES NOT WORK!! I still get the white screen of death, followed by the friendly message..
I also CANNOT see anywhere in the manage application settings where I "clear the download history" or wh8ever....and really - I'm feeling like I might have to invest in a computer science major just to maintain a reliable, updateable phone!
PLEASE HELP, anybody...is there any fix to this other than factory resetting everything & reinstalling everything??

Has anyone found a solution to this Market problem?
I also get this error message on my stock G2 every single time I download an update to an app I already have installed. once I clear the error message, the download and install always completes, but its annoying as all heck. can anyone confirm if master reset permanently resolves the issue? if it does id be willing to do it...
Primarily force closes happen when application permissions(or system data) either overlap or conflict... Hard reset will only resolve the issue if you stop installing whatever it is you have messed permissions up with... Boot into recovery and fix permissions and see if that helps... If not, hard reset and install apps individually to see if you can trace it..
Swyped from my *Epic* using XDA App
I apologize, but that doesnt help me at all. this issue doesn't only happen with certain apps, it is literally 100% of apps that I experience this issue with. if I boot in to recovery mode, what permissions am I looking for?
Boot into recovery and fix permissions? I wish i were that competent...but i am no programmer
Cant i just reinstall the Market app somehow?

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

Frequent force close of system applications

Hello
Android version: 2.3.3
Running stock ROM with XWKF3 with default Samsung launcher. (let me know if further info is required)
From few days GS2 has been starting to force close the system applications out of blue. Not had this issue since 3 months. Basically I would get a force close of Google services initially (pic attached) which would throw that pop up in a contionus loop. When I later check out others apps the following applications also gave me the force close error:
1. Internet (doesn't even let me see the force close error. The box appears for less than a milliseconds and closes off)
2. Email
3. Gmail
4. Messaging
5. Social Hub
6. Gtalk
7. Tasks
8. YouTube
9. Wireless will not connect and it tries to scan and later switches off automatically.
10. TW launcher (not all the time, the home screen will restart itself on a contionus loop - effect similar to when we clear through RAM from task manager.
As u can see the above apps are mostly the system apps. Specifically android apps rather than touchwiz.
Here is what I have tried:
1. Try exiting all apps and clearing the RAM through task manager. But still the above mentioned applications force close.
2. so the only way was for me to switch off and the on the device. However this does not look like a permanent solution since the problem appears again like two or three times a day.
I would also like to point out that may be the issue issue is only when the wireless and is turned on. I can't be sure here completely.
Also after I restart the device oddly everytime the device temp shows as 39° C and then cools down.
I have not rooted my device at all and also have not installed any application which does a system wide changes (oh except Samsung app update and Samsung mobile security from the Samsung app store)
Just not able to know wot is causing the problem
So could anyone please help me out to as to solve this issue? Is some kind of virus/malware being attacked? Is the device suffering from faulty hardware?
Gald to provide any further info if required.
Thanx.
Have you tried fixing permissions a lot of time that solves FC's, if not id recommend doing a full wipe.

Thanx for the reply. What does fixing permission actually mean? also would I have a risk of killing my device when doing a full wipe? would I void my warranty? is it same as doing an hard reset on Nokia phones?
sorry for so many questions, this my first android device and got to get used to troubleshooting stuff :-/
Thanx!

Fixing permissions fixes problems often associated with Force Close errors.
boot into recovery > advanced > fix permissions > reboot system now.
if fixing permissions doesn't work you should do a full wipe and you should be ok then.
I would definitely root your device if i were you most people do you can so much more, you can always "unroot" if you do need to send it for repairs and are worried about warranty.

Hello
I tried to use the fix permission options. I went to recovery mode by switching off the device and holding down the volume up key + home key + power button and releases them once the Samsung logo appeared. I got the following screen. Link:
(there was an error attaching the pic
However I cannot see the "advanced" option though :-/ help?
And now after reading your post I'm actually thinking of rooting my device. Once I have time for it. Thanx for the advice on that.
Well it looks like issue is solved. I dint get option of "fix permissions" but by accident choose the fourth option "wipe cache partition" out of curiosity. And from that day on dint have any force close issues.
Just wanted to add that i too experienced this. Fixed it with a factory reset as i didn't think of wiping cache. I was not rooted, running KI1 2.3.4.
Force Close fix??

PLEASE HELP! Substratum messed my galaxy s8 up.

After I applied a skin, it instantly crashed with a message saying "the system ui has stopped".
I can't get in to my phone. Only the always on display is available as of right now.
I have tried ejecting the sim, booting it in to safe mode.
My phone is not rooted and I don't plan on rooting it. I haven't registered bixby so I can't put it in to max power saving mode.
I don't know what adb shell is. Please can anyone help me save my phone? I am so desperate.
PLEASE HELP. MY PHONE IS A BRICK.
Can I save my phone without a factory reset?
I was on Oreo Beta.
Please help. Thank you
once in safe mode, see if you can disable substratum or perform a factory reset.
Ok dont panic i also had trouble after applying substratum, First my phone became very laggy and then apps stopped working with constant crashes. Eventually the phone became unusable. A factory reset solved the problem for me, if you cant get into the phone use samsung smart switch you should be able to reset it from there and try back up your data.
You could also try flashing a rom to see if this would help.
If you can't delete the overlays from safe mode then you'll have to perform a factory reset. The only other way I would assume is unfortunately uninstalling the overlay apks through adb but then you need to know the full name of the apks you want to delete. by using adb you could find the names of all installed apk but then again.. could be a reason to learn to use adb
Thread cleaned No need for rude comments guys Lets keep it on track....
