I recommend backing up your data and performing a factory reset.

I second this, but if it is an app that is causing the issue and the user installs the app after a reset, the issue will persist.
Going into settings > Memory > Memory used by apps, should give you some information on the matter.

[Q] Verizon Tab won't perform factory reset

I have a Verizon Galaxy Tab SCH-I800 and I woke up today and it was missing some programs that I had installed the night before. Launcher pro keeps crashing so I had to put the Samsung Launcher back on. Now random programs all keep crashing and locking up the device. I performed a factory reset through settings -> privacy -> perform factory reset.
It restarts and goes to the samsung bootloader and I performed wipedata/factory reset.. It says it does it but when it restarts its in the same condition as before.
I've booted directly to the bootloader and tried it too (volume up and power key). I've also tried to wipe cache with no luck..
Any ideas? Can I root it and put a custom rom on it? I saw that there really aren't any roms for the Verizon tabs.. Any reason why?
Thanks for any help..
I just did a restore with all the stock verizon firmware using heimdall and it flashed and everything went through properly..
I booted into recovery and wiped data/cache and restarted...
SAME THING! It will NOT wipe out my existing data.. It restarts with all of my old programs installed and NOTHING will work.. The OS is hosed. How can I wipe this thing back to factory??

Any luck with this? I'm having the same issue and don't have ODIN setup for it.
Same Issue
Same Issue
I changed my passwords on Facebook, Twitter and Gmail. After about 30 minutes the tablet finally stopped bringing up my information.
Need help!
Same to me...
I've tried to uninstall some apps several time, GTab automatically rebooted and these apps are still there...
Could anyone solve this issue?

I'm in the same boat..half my apps crash when you try to open them. I've wiped the data partition 3 times, and the cache as well..not avail. Apps are still on the device after a master reset!

I had that problem, and I wound up sending it back to Samsung. It appeared to be a bad part on the board, so they replaced it and it's on its way back now. Not the answer you want, I'm sure, but call it in and get your RMA number.

On your new Tab can you perform a hard reset and have it actually work?
my sprint Tab seems to be in the same boat

Some data corruption probably, have you by any chance disabled animations in developer options?, sometimes that causes issues. I would data factory reset if not.

[Q] Action memo recognition issue

Hi, just wondering if anyone else has experienced crashing with action memo. I had no issues initially however the last couple days whenever I write something and try to use "link to action" I get recognition failed msg or the app gets stuck on recognising and l have to restart the phone. l've tried clearing app data but that didn't help. Guess I'll try a factory reset next.

I wish to factory reset mine but will I recover all my apps, pictures and music?

If pictures & music is in Ext. SD Card than it will not erase as factory reset only erase Internal memory.
factory reset is not solving issue
Hi all,
I am using diamond rim 5.1 on note 2. I have the exact same issue. I have done factory reset . But the issue still persists. Is there anything else I could try?
I know this is an old thread but for anyone having this problem just go to Samsung keyboard languages and update the language and kaboom

Backup all important data and do a factory reset. This will restore some important hidden system files that could be corrupt. It should fix all your problems. I had a similar issue for awhile. It may also be beneficial to look into reflashing MJ7/MJE tar depending on what version if factory reset doesn't fix it.

Do a factory reset before flashing, you can find the option in Settings > Security. It's different from reflashing a tar.

[Q] Update 4.4.2 Kies issue

Hi guys,
I recently side loaded kit kat 4.4.2 and I have 100% completely stock no rooting or anything. Everything is NAE I have been noticing that my phone turns off spontaneously and the only way to turn it back on is to take out the battery. I also have noticed that my phone becomes very hot and loses its battery very quickly.
i was told from another user to do a factory reset which I plan to. I wanted to back up my files before i do that but after i install kies with this version"* Supported model : Feature phone, Smart Phone/Tablet before Galaxy Note III
(including Galaxy S4, Note II, etc)" from Samsung.
My Windows 7 64 bit cannot install the MTP driver and then Kies says to install Kies 3 because it is unsupported to the current version.
Does anyone know how to back up the whole phone like Apple's Itunes back up or know of any other solution to my problem?
This has really put me off of Android..
I've never used Kies for anything so I can't help you there, what are you trying to backup? If your going to backup the whole phone, factory reset, and then restore your phone then your problem will just return. How long have you had your phone? If you've never rooted then it may be a hardware problem. I have great battery life after updating to 4.4.2. You should be able to find an app in the play store that can back up your data without root. All of your apps and contacts are backed up by google. I believe there are apps that will backup your texts and call logs without root. You are better off letting the play store reinstall your apps after a factory reset so the problem doesn't return.

I don't think its a hardware problem since this problem began after I updated to kit kat. Also, what is the best way to do a factory reset? is there a difference between a soft and hard factory reset?
Thanks

Best way is through recovery, power off phone, then hold the volume up button and power at the same time until you see the blue text in the upper left corner. Select factory reset. You should pull your sdcard first because I can't remember if the stock recovery wipes the external sdcard.

Thanks! I will try to back up everything and then do a factory reset. Hopefully it will solve my problem
My brother just had the same problem, screen wouldn't come on, got very hot. Factory reset fixed it. Not sure about the backup as he didn't do one(all the apps he uses are cloud saved) but just confirming you doing the right thing doing a factory reset. Usually fixes everything lol

i dont backup my sms. but i know there are alot on the google play store. just search "SMS Backup" find one with nice reviews
you might need to copy it to your PC hard drive as i think a factory restore clears the internal storage and most apps dont have access anymore to the SD card as Google is trying to kill it
