Settings Crashes - LG G6 Questions and Answers

Just switched carriers and now settings crashes/fc's
Us997
Rooted with Magisk 17.3
Stock 21c
I reflashed ROM but problem persists.
This started as soon as the new SIM was installed.
Went from AT&T to tmobile
I can back door into some settings by long pressing on settings icon in Nova. From there I can hit the back button and see settings for a moment. Then it fc's. Just pressing the settings icon fc's immediately.
Any ideas?
Edit:
Extracted settings apk and then installed using package installer. Still crashes. It's hard to believe that a new SIM would prevent access to settings.
When I get home, I'll try removing the SIM and reflashing. Might need a full wipe and a clean flash too.
I'm just the curious type who wants to know why this happened. I know t mobile sends settings updates in texts and "installs" them when tapped.
Has anyone had this happen before?

Apps self close after update to JH2

I have Bell's Galaxy S only unlocked but no any patch installed on it. I updated to JH2 because I wanted to have the 3 buttons recovery just in case. But after the update some apps opens and close right after. Also gmail downloads emails, but when I try to read it it brings me back to the list of all emails. I did do recovery mode, but no luck. Samsung customer supports sends for repair. I do not want to be for 3 weeks with no phone. Any help will be deeply appreciated.
try clearing the cache
you might have some conflicting settings left from the previous ROM
you can either boot into recovery mode with the 3 buttons combo
or you can download this app http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=8187376&postcount=63
and it will clean it for you
I did try the recovery mode with the 3 buttons menu options but no luck with it. It is the same ofter a recovery. The cacheclener is only for rooted phones, and mine is not rooted. Do you think there is something elese left to explorer?
Thanks
Any help about this priblem?
Sent from my GT-I9000M using XDA App
why not root the phone?
it's safe to root the phone
I rooted the phone and installed cachecleaner from market and ran it. Still the same problem. Even when I try to opne AppBrain it closes right after. Do you have any other suggestions? Thanks a lot.
I tried factory format and reset with this codes *2767*3855# and it is the same.
the next best thing to try is to go into the Recovery Mode, and select the option to Wipe Data
see if it works properly after a flesh start.
Already done.....same problem. I guess I am running out of options. Is there a way to reinstall JH2?

Unfortunately System UI has stopped working

Hello all, I my phone started turning itself off and back in about a week ago and today whenever I hold the home button down to bring up the task manager, this error message pops up. I've tried wiping the cache from r the recovery menu, and doing a delete data/factory reset. The reset seemed to work until my phone started updating and I imported my contacts from SD card. Now, once again the error message comes up whenever I hold down the home button. Could it be an update causing this, or did the virus come back when I imported my contacts? Any thoughts or suggestions would be appreciated. I should mention that I'm using the straight talk version of the S4.
The new google app update is causing this problem. Either turn it off via app manager or unistall the update
My husband and i both have the galaxy S4. We also noticed this issue around the same day you posted this! Have you figured anything out? Or fixed the problem?

Wifi/settings keeps force closing

After recently rooting and installing latest TWRP on my s7 edge (enoxys 935f), I have tried to install different roms. However each time I install a rom, even if i "Format data" and fully wipe prior to rom install I get an error when using the phone when trying to access wifi settings. it seemingly tries to open the screen then force closes and says "settings has stopped" with the option to "restart app". this has happened on the superman rom , renovate, and Tmobile volte+wifi calling etc rom.
Don't know whats up and how to fix this? I am able to connect to wifi that i specified in the startup of the phone when it was asking for my google account etc but not able to access this settings.
Thanks!
PS how do i make a log report if you need to see a log?

Possibly have two different firmwares running?

I have a SM-G550FY, at least that is what my phone says. Now when I got the phone it was a metropcs phone and I tired rooting it which worked. Then I tried to flash the Reborn ON5 rom and then I had no sound. After this I tried flashing a stock rom but I believe it was for the T-Mobile variant. NOW it wont open ANYTHING. It boots and the initial android setup shows up but after I cant even open the settings in my phone. I used recovery to reinstall the reborn rom since no sound is better then no apps. I believe I flashed imgs for different model number but now I am not sure what to do. I just want to go back to the stock rom so I can have my sound back. Any help would be appreciated.
To fix the no apps/black screen what I did was pull down the notification menu from the top of the screen, then by long pressing the buttons I was eventually able to get into a settings menu where I could get to the play store. I started by downloading a bunch of the basic apps that were missing...contacts, messages, etc. then I installed "Google Now Launcher" and that fixed all the things. The bad metro wallpaper showed up and there were the apps that I thought were missing. I hope this helps...or at least gives you some hope that everything isnt lost.
Edit...if you can get to the play store...try the google now launcher first. Honestly any launcher might work.

MI A1 - Settings app crashing when trying to change screen lock

Today, I noticed that I had once a pattern lock and the phone just opened on swipe.
So, I went to settings and the security was set to swipe (I didn't change it). I clicked on it and the settings app crashed. Everything else in settings is working fine. Its just this thing causing trouble.
So the phone is crashing when trying to change screen lock
Some things you should know
1. I had rooted my phone with magisk manager about two weeks ago
2. I had substratum theme installed and overlayed on almost all apps including settings
3. After the settings crashing problem, I uninstalled magisk and had a full unroot and updated the security patch with a stock boot image
4. Everything else is still fine, but the settings crashing problem persists
I uninstalled all the apps that required root access before unrooting
Now the phone is unrooted back to normal no theme overlays, but the settings is still crashing when attempting to change screen lock and the fact being that it automatically changed to swipe
Any help would be appreciated
