[Q] Messaging (and DRM content) processes stopping unexpectedly on boot?

Today I took a picture with my phone and my phone froze up shortly after viewing the picture for some odd reason. So I soft reset it with a battery pull. When I started my phone back up I received a few error messages. The first one was that the DRM Content process had stopped unexpectedly (I think this was happening before my phone froze up). The second one was that the Messaging process had stopped unexpectedly, and the third was Handcent stopping unexpectedly.
After this happened I tried opening up Handcent, to which it displays the same force close error for a split second and then automatically closes. I uninstalled Handcent and tried opening the regular Messaging application, to which it displays some sort of force close error for a split second and then closes.
I was running the SyndicateROM Frozen 1.1.0. I tried updating to the ACS SyndicateROM Frozen 1.1.1 to see if it would fix my problem. It didn't
Does anyone have any suggestions on how to troubleshoot this?

You had journaling off. You can't reboot the phone without powering off or you wind up with data corruption and force closes. You need to reflash your rom and then use the re eable journaling zip in the development section. Also it wouldn't hurt if you researched things before posting, there have to be > 50 posts about this.

Download enable journaling from here:

Flash it after you reflash your rom.

I flashed the reenable journaling zip after reflashing my ROM. The DRM Content force close error still pops up when I boot up, and my Messaging is still crashing :/. What am I missing? Or could there be another problem?

Have you tried a different kernel? Or something you are restoring from Titanium or Mybackup is causing.
I would start from scratch go back to stock, reroot with cwm 3.0.2.5, d/l ext4 conversion here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1109362, flash ext4 conversion, flash Frozen 1.1.1, flash journaling enable. Do not restore anything see if you still have the issue. If not then something you are restoring is causing your issue.

I don't have Titanium or Mybackup. The only backups I have are within CWM, made from flashing my ROM. I will try what you suggested, thanks.
Edit:
To go to stock, do I just wipe data/factor reset from CWM? Also is there any way to do what you said while still retaining all of my contacts/texts? I cannot lose my SMS history. There is valuable information within.

Mybackup does txt and sms backups. Make sure you do a nan backup also just in case. You need to odin back to stock. Go here for step by step

Okay, I tried a bunch of SMS backup programs to no avail. Every one I tried would either crash or throw an error when it tried to back up my text messages.
I went back to stock, wiped my data/cache/system, and then flashed back Frozen 1.1.1 again. Everything worked fine until I tried recovering my data. The Messages process crashes again after recovering my data
Is my SMS history unrecoverable?

Is sms crashing or just the back up of the sms? What are you using to back up and recover your txt?

The whole reason this started was because my SMS messages application started crashing. I am trying to recover my texts. I tried using 5 or 6 SMS backup utilities, but to no avail. I didn't try anymore because I figured none of them are going to work. Something in my SMS history is borked :/

Thinking the same thing sorry. Not sure if someone else has any ideas. Do you have a nan backup from before the issue started? Yeah you might lose some txt but not all.

[Q] Cannot send or receive texts/can't send e-mail

So I was using the rooted stock gingerbread rom and decided to flash CM7 to see what all the hype was about. I followed the steps outlined in the CM7 wiki, and the whole thing was a nightmare. constant FC messages and every time I tried to restore my apps via Mybackuproot I was unable to move anything to the SD card even after enabling app2sd in CM7.
I even went so far as to do a factory reset, wipe cache/dalvik and try reflashing. No dice. All I manged to do there was create a boot loop which forced me to do the whole process a second time.
I gave up and just decided to restore the nandroid backup I had made just a few days ago.
But now, I'm having issues with send and receiving items. I can receive e-mails but when I reply it's stuck in "sending"
Apparently I can send texts (sent one to a friend who said they got it) but I cannot receive them.
I updated prl and profile in the settings. Now i'm at a loss. How do I fix this??

You can rewipe everything and reflash the stock Rom that you were running before your "nightmare" journey,and see if that clears up your texting problem.
now the voices are in 3d

I went into the applications setting and cleared the data from the gmail app and from the hancent/stock text message settings.
I can now send e-mails, but I still can't receive text messages.
Before doing any of that I booted into recovery and did a factory wipe and cleared dalvik/cache again. I then reflashed my recovery.
Still not having luck with receiving messages. help!

bump?
I installed google voice and I'm now getting text messages through there, but my stock app/handcent still aren't getting anything incoming.
I cleared the cache and force closed both programs, I made sure sync was enabled. I'm a loss here

did you go into mobile network settings and make sure you didn't uncheck boxes there?

Please help!!!

I keep getting this message popping up "The application Open Sense Plugin Manager (process com.htc.opensense.pluginmanager) has stopped unexpectedly. Please try again." Then it makes me "force close." I do not receive new text messages or emails at all! Also, none of my settings save. I can't use my alarm or my new voicemails do not show up. I am very confused. My phone is rooted and has been for some time with no issue. If anyone can help I know XDA can?

Are you on a custom rom at all?
Either way, sounds like a software issue, which a factory reset should most definitely clear up.

Yes I am using Konies Elite and have been for 9 months or so with no issues. I dont think its the rom but rather the phone im not quite sure. If I do a factory reset will I lose my root and all my current apps and settings?

Hey,
Yeah just back up any data *text and what ever else you need* and do a factory reset and it should fix your issue.
If you are rooted try wiping cache data and dalvik and reboot the rom and your issue should be fixed! If not try a new rom
I hope I helped if I did please hit the thanks button,

You can also boot into recovery/advanced/fix permissions,that should work,try that before erasing everything.

If it was a hardware issue, you would have more problems than just Sense closing. That is a software issue for sure. Since you are rooted, you dont have to do a factory reset, just re-flash the rom from recovery. Be sure to fully wipe data/cache/dalvik first to ensure everything gets installed correctly. You will not lose root, but you will lose apps, which can be backed up and restored with Titanium Backup

Just wipe cache and dalvik and flash the rom over itself you will keep your apps and data but it will reinstall all the stock apps and data from the rom so if you accidently removed something or something corrupted it will be replaced/repaired

Camera unresponsive

My camera for my Galaxy Nexus has been broke for the last several weeks.
When opened, a black screen opens before shortly thereafter giving the message "gallery is unresponsive" and force closes.
I restored to AOKP build 3, updated the ROM to build 4 and flashed that (after corresponding factory reset, wipe data/cache/dalvik).
Now the camera opens, shows the "take picture" etc buttons but still has a black screen and force closes.
I assume while flashing different ROMs I had restored using Titanium backup a system setting/app that caused this problem.
I understand this question has been asked, but I have to find a solution to my problem (I have done battery pull etc.)
Any help will be appreciated.

I should mention that I have had a couple messages over the previous couple weeks where it says "SIM card invalid" and phone restarts.
I have not had this message is several days.

have you tried a different ROM?
use RootBox 4.2.2
ive been using it no problems and amazing battery life, not to mention the smoothness and pure awesomeness of the ROM

Yes. Originally this problem happened shortly after flashing codename. With this ROM, a black screen would show and then "gallery is unresponsive."
I reverted to AOKP and flashed updated version. Now camera app opens, shows the take picture etc. buttons on bottom but where the actual picture should be stays black and gallery goes unresponsive.
Have also tried deleting camera apk and re-flashing a downloading camera zip file. Same problem.

Cleared data and cache for the app. Same issue.
Very frustrating issue.

Fast boot flash back to stock. If camera is still acting up then its more than likely hardware issues
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using Tapatalk 2

do you get any messages after boy saying something like: com.xxx.xxx has unexpectedly stopped. this has happened to me to. you have to format your sd card. try that
remember to backup all your important file from the sd card to your computer EXCEPT the DCIM (where a'll your pictures and stuff are. anything related to the gallery don't backup)

Why not try a complete wipe.
fastboot erase boot
fastboot erase recovery
fastboot erase userdata
fastboot erase system
In that order
then fastboot back to stock as mentioned by namtombout.
If that doesn't work it is indeed a hardware issue.

I don't think I've got any of these messages..
I will attempt the complete wipe per instructions in this thread (simply working up to the time that I actually will go through with it). I'm thinking I must have restored some system settings/camera settings from titanium backup during one of my recent ROM changes.
My battery life has been awfully poor lately as well....wondering if the restore of some system setting screwed with that as well...
Hopefully the complete wipe will get things back in order.

after you complete the wipe, DO NOT use titanium backup to restore your apps (even user apps). try fresh ones from the play store and see if that helps. if not im afraid you will have to go back to stock and then root again, flash a new ROM again, and then download your apps from the play store.
this problem has happened to me with my old phone (Samsung Captivate) but the formatting of the SD card fixed that for a while, when it started again i did the steps above and the phone worked better than ever.

All SMS apps crashing

Hello! Yesterday I decided to update my OP3 to the latest version, and as usual, I rooted it and restored with titanium backup. Everything went as usual, but today I decided to send a SMS and the stock app kept crashing, so I tried to use messenger (from Facebook) it crashed when I enabled SMS.
Later, I searched about this and found that i needed to clean data and cache, but when I checked on the application section I had none, the cache and data were empty.
I've already tried to use 3rd party apps to send messages, but all crashed the same way as the stock.
How can I fix this? I don't want to factory reset again my phone, is a pain to restore the data.

Thats been an issue with the OTA updates. Seems not to work right (never advised anyone to do ota as a single millisecond of data loss causes issues)
You may have to end up Factory resetting. Also TIBU messes up google messaging service so you will end up with apps not giving notifications properly.

People have said that reinstalling the apps without wiping the data works. I just set everything up again. But then I like most developers use less then 10 apps on our devices other then the stock apps.

Ok. I'll try a factory reset and reinstaliing the apps without TiBu. I'll get back to you when I finish this.

It worked, thanks!
