My S4 has randomly reverted to alot of default settings (overnight). For example, it has "forgotten" my default sound settings and default apps. The home button no longer works (presumably because my default launcher was Nova and it has "forgotten" it), my usual notifications are gone (e.g. the weather, Llama profile), and probably alot more that I have not yet noticed. This is not the first time that this has happened in the last 6 months.
I guess a factory reset would be a good idea, but does anyone know why/how this happens? I'm running Phoenix ROM v9 (Android 4.4.2).
I've just noticed that the Notification bar has effectively been disabled - none of my app notifications are appearing as they should
???
It's better to give a Hard reset.. Did you tried it?

By hard reset presumably you mean a factory reset, with a wipe of the cache partition? I'll try that next (I'm re-flashing the ROM in no-wipe mode first to see if that works).
I suppose I know what would "fix" the immediate problem, but I was wondering if anybody knew why this sort of thing happens in the first place?
Now that a few of us are running miui think it be useful to jot some tips and anything you may notice
-update to 5.4.25(get the rom from our russian friends on 4pda) clocks are all synced
-switched to action launcher and now when I clear ram I get up to 400mb(drops down after a bit)
-you can set defaults go to installed app/bottom there's a gear/ boom can finally change chrome to your default browser and open up external links with chrome
-app time stamps go by the status bar time(I changed it so that the lock screen shows the correct time and assumed my messages werent sending while the whole time they were a hour up on my message threads) lol
-Added apps to startup on boot seemed to fix me not receiving any of my Snapchat and my other notifications
-pinch recents to change default view(card preview or app icon)
-slide finger over from home button towards back/menu button to enable one handed mode(yes I know its a small phone but kinda cool)
All I got so far...
-go into dialer enter *#*#4636#*#* scroll down and change wcdma preferred to gsm auto(might fix missing text messages) still debatable but worth a shot
Anybody experiencing missed text messages?

On apps that aren't the default messaging app. It's why I reverted to stock until updates.

I was experiencing it with the stock miui app also...one thing I noticed in the *#*#4636#*#*
Phone settings it stays set to wcdma I'm thinking there's something in the build prop
Changing it...do you know any build prop tweaks that deal with that?

Absolutely none, I'm sorry man. Two years ago I would have been able to help you with that haha. Haven't manually tweaked build.prop in ages.

Haha me neither, I just remember reading about changing build prop to fix CDMA/GSM but when I check the build prop it's a mess and I don't see anything that could be changed
The problem is after a reboot phone settings changes back to wcdma, I changed it...well see if I receive all my SMS
I did notice more disconnects with my Android Wear as well. Remember to go into app settings after installing an app and grant it (in most cases) all permissions.
Hello everyone!
First, I'm sorry for my English. I'll try to do my best to be clear and not too painful to read.
I post here tonight because my Moto X XT1562 is very messy. It's totally buggy actually.
The WHAT:
Some functionalities just disappeared. Here is some:
- Notifications aren't displayed at all. The notification bar stay empty, even when I swipe it down. Notification sounds are OK however.
- The quick settings panel isn't displayed... When I swipe down the right side of the top bar, there is only the notification bar who appear (empty...) like if I swiped down the left side. Nothing happens neither with a Nova widget for example to launch the activity corresponding to the quick settings panel.
- The Home button and the Menu app button do not works. When I touch them, they respond (they are circled by a halo and the phone vibrate) but don't produce anything.
- Some entries are missing in Settings like the entry to configure the quick setting panel. Also, some entries are displayed but when I touch them nothing happens, like the "Users" entry. Moreover, in "Backup & Reset > Factory data Reset" the "Reset Phone" button stay grey (unavailable).
- The "Developers options" menu isn't available neither. In this case, I had a toast with something like: "Developers options are not available for this user". In my actual configuration (spoiler: aka after flashing a new ROM), I can't activate the developers options at all.
- Probably other things but I'm not sure it matter. Apps work great however, even if there are now some force close. And just to be clear: it's not a touch screen issue.
So my phone is still usable, but it's not handy at all. Specially the fact that I can't go on the Home screen with the home button or switch between opened apps with the app button.
The WHEN:
These is happens after I try to move data that were on the sdcard in the internal storage through the built in tool in the storage settings. In fact, my sdcard (used like "internal storage") was almost full and my true internal storage with some space. I knew all my sdcard data could not go on my internal storage, but I thought Android could deal with that and will only transfer a part of these data. BUMMER. Anyway, during the process the phone had reboot and then the mess happens: internal storage was overfull, sdcard still full too, duplicate data were on both, etc. And of course, the previous bugs came. I deleted data manually (primarily pictures) and used the phone a couple of days like this.
Just so you know and because I suspect an perm issue, I have to add that a couple days before this episode, I also tried to create a second android user through the Users setting. But nothing happens after the asked reboot. I didn't insist.
The WHAT-THE-****:
- First, I was suspecting that the last boot didn't work properly because the internal storage was full. So after I made some space on the device I rebooted: nothing.
- After I delete all my pictures on the sdcard, I launch the data migration process to give it a new chance to finish properly. It did, but... nothing.
- I tried to wipe dalvik cache and the regular cache through TWRP: nothing.
- Like I suspected a permission issue, I tried to "Fix Contexts" with TWRP. Nooooothing.
- Very confident, I tried a factory reset through the Android settings but it was unavailable. So I did it in the bootloader. But... NOTHING!
- Well, I decided to flash again my ROM (XDRom) but I chose the last build to upgrade it. Flashing a new ROM replace most of the files so that MUST work. Guess what? Nothing!!
- Desperate, I tried to flash/upgrade the squid kernel. But No-****ing-thing... :crying:
I have no idea how it's possible. So if someone has encountered something similar or knows how that can happen, please, tell me.
I'm using TWRP, Squid Kernel r19 and the ROM XDR 24.107-52-5 (Android 6.0.1). Right now, my phone isn't rooted but it was when it happened. I was also using Xposed with Gravitybox and XBlastTools.
Thanks to everybody!

when everything else failed, use rsdlite and flash stock rom.

If you're using XDrom you need to root it and use XDRsetup app that comes with it (you can also download it separately, link is in XDR'S thread). This will fix all your issues
Your phone is not provisioned. You can fix this by re-running the setup wizard activity using Activity Launcher.
I've been seeing this issue pop up on several Moto devices since last few months, even on my own device.
EDIT: XDROM thread mentions this on the thread clearly
Use XDR Setup app after first boot to provision the device (unlock UI, Developer's options, screen lock, etc.)

Well, thanks so much everybody. Sorry for my late answer. You're right, my phone wasn't "provisioned". I wasn't aware at all about this not-a-bug-but-a-feature. It sounds still strange for me and it's surprising that this "issue" appears by itself but whatever, it's fix. Thanks again!
Super odd problem here. So I had originally turned off animations (running latest nightly of Lineage 14) and I turned them back on just to see what they were like and the soft rebooted. Upon rebooting a bunch of stuff, settings, functionality disappeared. My recents button does not pull up recents at all, no notifications. When I went into the settings and searched "button", nothing appeared. Finally, I went to development settings and could not access any of these settings I had before. It appears I entered some odd user state or something, but I don't know how changing animations could trigger that.
Any thoughts?
Okay so I realized it's a problem with the current user being a non administrator. I don't know how this switched over but I've read it can be fixed by running SetUp Wizard, however I can't find an activity to do this.
I have found the similar problem on my HTC desire (7), hope you solve this problem soon.
I'm not sure when this issue actually started but when I tried to edit my Smart Lock settings today, I found I couldn't get into the Screen Lock settings at all.
I have a LG V20 US996 unlocked & rooted running software version 10n. When I try to access Settings -> Display -> Lock screen, I get "Unfortunately, Lock Screen Settings has stopped.". Here's what I've tried thus far based on articles I've found around the webiverse:
Cleared all of the cache & rebooted.
Cleared all the user certificates under Certificate management.
Cleared the data for the following packages via Titanium Backup followed by a reboot:
com.lge.lockscreensettings.overlay 1.0
com.lge.provider.lockscreensettings 7.0
Lock Screen Settings 5.50.160811
Rebooted into safe mode using the default launcher and still couldn't get into the Lock screen settings.
I currently have a passcode set. Clearing the above package data did not remove the passcode. I also use Nova Launcher but somehow I don't think that's the issue since I wasn't using it in Safe Mode.
This issue is making me a tad nervous as I'm afraid I'll boot or try to unlock the phone and it won't let me. I'm all ears for any suggestions I could try short of resetting the phone to defaults.
Thanks!
I'm having the same issue. Nova launcher also. Tried all "fixes" mentioned as well.
Figured out my issue, not sure if it applies to you as well.
I ran a logcat and found that the lockscreen settings showed an error looking for weather settings. I previously froze the LG weather apps. After unfreezing the 3 weather apps, lockscreen settings work once again!
Good luck!
Holy crap, it worked! I had frozen it with Titanium as well. Unfreezing it made all the lock screen settings work again. How obscure and annoying is that?
Thanks!
Pistacios solution fixed the problem. Unfreezing the LG Weather apps (with Titanium, in my case) fixed the problem.
Awesome! Glad I helped. I came across your post when I had the problem and decided to dig deeper and that's when I found the answer.
Lockscreen wallpaper can still be changed with the apps frozen, just do it thru the gallery with the "set as" option, but just about everything else needs those apps active. I just unfreeze, change settings, then refreeze them.
