I was trying out various TTS engines from the market, and when I went to uninstall one of them as soon as I pressed the uninstall button, it exited to the home screen. Now when I try to access the settings I get "The linked program is no longer installed on your phone"
Is there a way I can get another copy of the settings app? I really dont want to do a factory reset. My phone is rooted.
What ROM are you running? The only one I've ever had that problem with is the stock RUU's. Only way I know how to fix it is either flash a different ROM or do a full wipe from the bootloader.
I am unrooted stock, and I had a run of about a week, when I first got the phone, of bootloops, force closes, and missing system apps. One time, google core services disappeared. Two factory resets later, I have no issues at all. It's been about a month since then.
I am using the stock ROM. I really want to try and avoid the factory reset if possible though

To avoid a reset you could root and put a stock Rom on there

The stock ROM seems to have issues with apps disappearing. I had that same issue, but with my alarm not working.
I'd recommend two things.
1. Only doing a factory reset will fix the issue. You will lose your data, there's no way around that.
2. Root your phone and install RMK's debloated ROM. You will still lose your data but you can do much more with your phone.

If he backs up stuff before, like right after root. He could keep his stuff. It's what I did

This isn't the first time something like this has happened. If it's common with the stock ROM then I will just use a different ROM and hopefully avoid the issue happening again.

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

Ok so right when i got my sprint galaxy nexus (last friday) i rooted and unlocked the bootloader and got right into flashing after running Black Ice rom i was loving it til all a sudden i was getting FC and random reboots, i thought it might of been the rom not liking my phone. So i reflashed and let all my android apps download via market and only restore data of certain ones and restore other apps in titanium. Still issues with random reboots
I then decided to try Gummy and it was working great no force closes or anything then just out of no where my device rebooted for no reason?
I restored apps the same way via play store.
Do you think i should exchange it for another one? Or do u think its an app or what?
Suggestions would be greatly appreciative.

Why are you not asking this question in the rom thread? Because obviously it has to do with something in the rom not interacting with something else nicely. Most likely an app or data in an app which doesn't want to play nice.

because it has happened on 2 roms

And it is just random, it is just sitting there and it reboots for no reason.

Pretty sure it's an app. If you have time and patience reload the rom on clean install. Download all the apps fresh from play store do not restore any. On the apps that you feel you must restore data do one at a time, use the phone for a while and see if it does it. Then restore data for the second app you feel that you must restore data on and again run the device for a while all is good move to a third. Eventually you will run into the issue again and just go back one step delete the app that you last installed data for and see if it goes away. Unless you have a logcat of the reboot and you can pinpoint what caused it

Sent from a Gummy Bear Inside My Sprint Galaxy Nexus
I updated to Jelly Bean 4.1.1 using Eftrant's method and did a complete wipe, re-installed and setup every application/game from the market but I've noticed that when I access places like Apps under Settings menu, using programs like Quick App Manager, the phone freezes or hangs. This problem was pretty bad in 4.1 but 4.1.1 seems to have improved it just a bit (not freezing/restarting as much). I thought that this was an application specific problem but doesn't look like it. Anybody having the same issue and have a solution/workaround?
Just to be clear, when I was running ICS the phone did not have a single instance of Freeze or Restart, I've been using this phone since January, so, it is not a problem with my phone either, just with the Jelly Bean update and the issue doesn't happen all the time only sometimes.
Have you tried doing a factory reset and running it without very many apps to see if it helps?
I have the same problem with Stock 4.1.1. Nothing helps (Full Wipe, No own Apps installed, Wipe cache, etc.). It randomly occurs in Settings/Apps. The Phone freezes and needs 1 Minute - Then "Settings isn't responding. Do you want to close it?"
To reproduce the problem: Slide in Settings/Apps from "DOWNLOADED" to "RUNNING" to "ALL" and back - a few times. Sometime the phone freezes.
Does it freeze at all with no apps installed? Can you pinpoint the freezes to a certain type of thing you're doing?

No, unfortunately not. With absolutely no apps installed the problem occurs less times but it is not gone. I think there is a bug.
---------- Post added at 09:36 AM ---------- Previous post was at 09:28 AM ----------
Can anyone try to reproduce the issue? It seems to occur only after a full wipe and some apps installed.
Slide in Settings/Apps from "DOWNLOADED" to "RUNNING" to "ALL" and back - a few times. Sometime the phone freezes.
It also happens when you try to clear data/clear cache of a certain application like Browser, Gmail, Gallery, or any of the stock apps. A mentioned earlier the frequency of the phone freezing reduces if there are no applications installed. This definitely seems to be a bug that occurs when a lot of data about all the applications is being pulled at once. You can replicate the issue if you install an app like Quick App Manager which scans all apps when the app is started.

Thank you for the Info!
It was happening on my GN too. But now it's fine.
I used to flash 4.0.4 factory image and OTA to 4.1.1 many times(more than 6). It was fine without any app installed from google play. After about 60 apps, freeze in setting-apps. Jump in an app detail, back, in another, freeze.
Now it' OK. But unfortunately, I don't know which setting fixed it. I try a lot.
Do you use flipboard? Or any large number of fragment files in sdcard/android/ ? Try to clean. Set flipboard to use internal storage.
If freeze again, er.....the last method. wipe cache, factory reset, flash 4.0.4, install apps and then OTA 4.1.1. Instead of OTA 4.1.1 and then install apps.
hope you can understand my English, and this can help you.

Well I have the same problem. It generally happens to me after I delete apps via settings...apps.
enough to make me quit cell phones
Happens on my nexus constantly. Verizon has sent me two replacements, which I sent back because they did the same thing, with or without any apps installed. All have had 4.1.1. This problem does not occur on 4.0.4, which I have flashed to the devices after upgrading to 4.1.1 just to run some tests. There is clearly a bug in the vzw 4.1.1 update. It is very, very frustrating and happens regardless of the apps we try to force close, clear cache, etc. They do not have to be google apps as someone has posted. I can easily duplicate the issue and it has been witnessed by two different corporate locations across four reps. I hope we can get a flashable 4.1.2 update soon, I've tried a 4.1.2 rom briefly and have not had the phone freeze at all.
Happens to me. I re flashed the rom and all went wrll

I was previously running ff18 but when I updated to fi27 after I reboot my phone any new widgets I add disappear. I cant figure out what's wrong.
I've tried to go back to ff18 and the problem there doesn't exist. when I go back to fi27 any widgets added when I was on ff18 are there, but if I try to add widgets they'll disappear after I reboot.
Also whenever I reboot my phone I get the android is upgrading starting applications. It happens on every reboot.
I am rooted if that matters. I used the method from qbking77's video.
Someone please help me figure out how to fix this.
I use the preserve data option when updating to rooted fi27 btw

Sounds like you need a full wipe between builds.
Sent from my SPH-D710 using xda app-developers app
I haven't tried to do that yet cause I'm scared of messing it up more or possibly bricking my device. Its an inconvenience to have to back up everything I need to.
If I do decide to wipe my phone, could I just use the restore option instead of the preserve data to wipe my phone?
I still haven't found a solution for this yet.
I did however flashed back to ff18 (where my widgets didn't disappear). I did a restore with odin. Then odin-ed to a fresh fi-27. I no longer get the android is updating on every boot, but my widgets are still disappearing!
I saw a post where someone said to make a backup with titanium backup and uninstall and reinstall using titanium backup. That didnt help.
any other recommendations?
I am having the same issue. I didn't notice it until after I finally stopped using Go Launcher & went to the stock Launcher ( NOT the TWLauncher by the way but the regular Launcher). If I go back to Go Launcher EX it keeps my widgets after reboot fine, but I like the stock launcher and want to use it instead of the laggy Go Launcher. Yours is the first post I'd found in my many Google searches that matched my issue & I'm relieved that I'm not the only one having this issue. I however do not have a rooted phone nor am I interested in doing any of that with this phone (I was really into that with my last phone but I just have no desire anymore for all that. I'm completely happy with the stock ICS experience if I can just get this Widget thing working). If anyone has any suggestions or fixes I'm all ears.
Thanks

I am having the same issue as well. Going to try reinstalling FI27 with a full data wipe and see if that helps the situation. Its really annoying that I'm losing my widgets after every reboot.

Ok, this worked for me. I went into recovery, wiped data/reset to factory defaults, also cleared delvik cache twice. I have to reinstall everything but i tested to make sure my widgets stayed and they do. Now I'll just be restoring from titanium backup. For the other user who is having the problem but isnt rooted i would suggest going into your setting and resetting your phone back to factory and see if that clears up the issue for you.

I have the same problem. With stock fimware, without root...
after rebooting , the widgets dislocates, or disappearing..
This was the last I bought chinese "flagship killer...hahhhaa"
The gestures always works except when I need it..
This phone is a real disappointment to me...
I'd been using FF18 for quite a while without incident, but after upgrading to FI27 (not OTA, via the one-click method), Google Play is hanging the system immediately after successfully downloading and installing any given app. It puts me on the usual page allowing me to open the app, I press open, and wham, the system freezes until it reboots automatically about a minute later. The app that I installed then runs fine.
(In testing this several times, I should mention that one time I actually was able to open an app I just installed, but it hung about 10 seconds in, and the system rebooted as usual. It ran fine after that.)
I've searched around a bit for this and see that I'm hardly the first to encounter this issue. Sometimes it occurs when no recent update has been performed at all. Unfortunately, I haven't really found a solution yet. The best I've seen is to delete the data for Google Play and Download manager, and rebooting, which I've done to no effect. I've also tried uninstalling Google Play, but I think in this case that just leaves me with the same version that I had, the one that came with FI27 (in any case, that didn't help either).
How does one go about troubleshooting this type of problem? I suppose wiping out the phone and starting over would fix it, but I was hoping for more of a surgical rather than nuclear approach. After all, on a PC, you don't reformat when you have a problem with a program.

You stated you upgraded so I'm assuming you didn't do a fresh install. Even if you did do a fresh install, restoring data & apps from an older version could cause problems. You should try a fresh load and work your way back from there.
Edit: Saw you did the one-click. Still think you should try a full wipe and try it again with a fresh load to see how it goes.

Yes, I chose the nodata FI27, since it said that it was good for same-version or upgrades (in this case, ICS to ICS), but I will choose the nuke-from-space one if there's no way out of this, though wouldn't just resetting to factory defaults at this point do the same thing?
It's a little bit disturbing that an issue with one app, albeit an important (though not essential) one, can require wiping the phone. If this were to come up again for some reason, maybe just one day out of the blue and not related to putting on a new ROM, it would be nice to know a way out.
Perhaps I can grab a log from somewhere with ADB?

If you have a custom kernel with recovery make a backup. Or get one and do it and then do a full wipe and fresh load. That is the only way you'll know for sure.
Yes, I will, but I thought I'd live with it a while to see what I could learn.
I've found that opening the newly-installed app is not the issue: simply installing a new app is. If I wait on the "Open" screen right after an install, and do nothing, within a minute the system will freeze and reboot.
Interestingly, updating apps does not trigger the problem, as numerous apps have updated this week, even one that Google Play wanted me to approve manually. Go figure.
Anyway, I have a logcat of an example in case anyone is interested. In this case, I initiated an install at 15:26, which is when the log begins. It ends shortly after the reboot.
