Random phone freeze... Maps pop-up - Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Not sure why my Note 2 freezes up every now and then. It freezes for a few seconds, then a "Maps has stopped working" pop-up would appear.
Not sure what can be causing this issue.

Reflash the rom. Looks like maps app got corrupted.

I'm stock. No custom ROM.
I also began to get error messages that "Settings has stopped working"
I uninstalled a few apps that were running at the time the error messages were displayed.
If it continues I may have to do a factory reset. Just hoping I can find a fix without having to start over.

Is there a way to do this running stock?

When you reflash stock rom, nothing will change. It would just eliminate the possibility of corrupt files.

yes, you can wipe/factory reset from the stock recovery. with phone switched off press up vol + home + power and hold for a few seconds.

Thanks. I will keep that in mind if it happens again. I did the standard factory reset last night. So far, everything seems to be working fine.
I'm also using the TouchWiz launcher this time around, instead of Nova Launcher Prime to see if it makes a difference.

Note 2 lag..

I'm experiencing some sort of lag when I try to open my notifications menu. The animation for the system toggles (wifi, gps, bluetooth etc.) Is laggy. I would post a picture of it but cant since its an animation.
You should return it! This phone doesn't lag at all! I have over 100 apps installed!

Do a data factory reset in settings, backup and restore mate. That should fix your issue. Backup important files to the pc first

Do you really think its the device problem or the operating system.?
Also when I first got my note 2 this issue never happened.

Thanks might try that. But copying all those data on my device to my pc will be pain in the ass.

1st of all check that your power saving is off, and try to reset to factory settings, if you have CWM installed try wiping cache and dalvik cache too
My device is not rooted because I don't know how to

My note 2 lags when opening documents and pdf of 100+ pages why is this? Tryed polaris, quickoffice, kingsoft, same on all of them. I'm not rooted or anything just had the device for 2 weeks now
Disable svoice it will help speed things up
To do so open svoice then hit menu and then untick the option for svoice on double tap
It really does make a diffrence

freeze+stuck after auto restart

new note2
using the original rom which comes with the phone. randomly freeze after i turn on the cell phone. sometimes it will restart automatically, sometimes won't. after auto restart, it stuck on samsung logo. I tried to flashed the root stock (ATT ROM) which is downloaded here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2004650
I also tried Jedi X 6.1.2
no matter I did factory reset or wipe cache + dalvik cache, I still got the same problem.
anyone has an idea what is going on?:crying:
Pull the battery once you Odin stock att , then replace Battery. Don't turn it on hold the volume up, home button, and power to get into recovery. Once in there do a factory reset then reboot

[Q] phone freeze

I have a S3 I747 the heres my problem is the phone most of the time will not go into sleep mode and not time out the screen and lock up and some times the phone will just lock up while using it. I have to hit the power button to turn the screen off and hit it again to get things to work at times I got to reset the phone to get going like some apps my just not load so resetting the phone is the only option and the app works fine any advise.

Are you on stock ? If so then just do as stated above. If you are rooted, we might need more info.
I installed several roms full wipe and still same thing some roms worst then others but over all same thing
Tried using different scheduler/governor?
Also, are you doing anything specific when it locks up? Any app being used?

I've Looked theres no reference to a kernel c in the forum
Not in forums. Look in intergalactic ROM thread.
My phone didn't like the latest 3.4 kernel.

[Q] can not get to settings

Hello, I have a samsung epic. I can not get to the settings. Is there any way to hard reset the phone without going into the settings? there is nothing on the phone that I mind losing. I just need to reset it or get to the settings.
What settings do you need access too? What ROM are you on? What carrier?

I figured it out. It is a stock rom on sprint. If anyone needs to know you hold down the photo button, the volume down and the power all at the same time to get to the boot page and then from there you can do a factory reset.

Lol.
That's how you get into recovery. You should have first tried to use the fix permissions option, rather than a full reset.

How do you do that so that I know for next time?

Available on CWM & TWRP recoveries. Been so long that I've seen stock recovery that I forget if it's even an option. Doubt it is though.

Stock gallery freezing

My wife's stock gallery app keeps freezing, no sd card in the phone and only a couple pictures. I've turned off Wi-Fi and all syncing, tried different roms including reverting back to stock no root. No matter what it freezes. Anyone have any clues what might be the problem and possible fixes.
Sent from my SGH-I317 using Tapatalk 2
Sounds strange..but ever notice if you ket all the pictures show up the first time. ..it builds cache up and normally after opening it up the second or third time it goes alot quicker...let them all load first..
If that dosent work... download a app called "quickpik" that galkery app is awesome let it load all the pictures the first time..and it also has some nice options...that app loads very quick...and has very nice resolution. .
