'Settings' not closing

Hi, Recetly the 'Settings' window wont close, when i tap on the 'x', it just freezes, the rest of the phone works ok, but i cant get 'Settings' to close. i have to do a soft reset!
Anyone had this problem, or suggest a fix
Cheers

press the red phone button several times, it will come loose then.

yeh that 'minimises' it, but its still frozen in the background lol. the next time i go to open settings, its still frozen, until i do a soft reset...

I've had that problem. Absolutely no idea what causes it
I just press the red button and navigate to whatever else I want to do.........unless it is change settings in which case a soft reset is the only answer

True, happens here 2, but find it a minor problem, because you can do anything else and settings cannot be closed via the task manager (so does it influence the ram?)
SR is so easy and do it several times a day sometimes for clean ram (got it under a HW button )
But IF there is a solution, i am a little interested.

yeh, i usually SR for RAM anyway, its just annoying lol

How to debug unreponsive N7100?

Hello XDA world,
My note 2 has been having the occasional fit.
By fit, I mean the screen goes unresponsive, and the capacitive buttons might light up.
I have to hold the power button and reboot.
It is intermittent. One day it want totally crazy and after the reboot, it hung again before it even finished booting.
I've noticed if I try to do anything while it's booting up, it's even more likely to hang. It hung during 5 restarts in a row which almost drove me insane.
Then it totally stopped for days. Then the occasional hang. Then today it decided to go insane again and lock up 20 times in a row.
How the #($#@ do I debug this?
Some notes:
1) I don't see anything in logcats. I've tried various programs, and just doing a "logcat > logcat.out &" in terminal window.
I'm thinking my phone is hanging before it's able to flush the logcat output to memory.
2) It happens if I have no sdcard in the phone, so it's not that.
3) I'm now trying to uninstall programs that 'auto startup'. It's hard to tell if it works since it's intermittent. Hangs could be a week apart.
4) Is there any way to memory test the memory inside the phone? Once I was trying to copy the logcat off the phone via MTP and it hung. Could be coincidence.
5) There are signs of 'degrading death'.
a) I have 'show touches' in options turned on. At some point the screen isn't responding.
For example, if I'm at the lockscreen - I can see that it is registering my touches. (the option makes dots appear where you touched the screen). However the phone doesn't unlock (i.e. the thing that you click and drag to unlock doesn't appear').
I can still see processes running/not running (the 'show cpu usage' option.).
Or, if I'm at the launcher, I can touch the screen, home screens don't scroll.
b) After being in state 'a' for a while, the screen eventually goes black and that's that.
My phone is now in a 'totally refuse to work' state now, hanging after every reboot.
I'm trying to uninstall anything/everything - there's a program I'd ideally like to back up before I wipe.

The widgets take forever to load after startup sometimes, which is usually precursor to a hang.

Is your cpu temperature high when your problem encounter?

[Q] Note 8.0 N5110 menu, home, and back buttons non-functional

I have a Note 8.0 N5110 that has a strange problem which I don't really how to troubleshoot. When I am using it, the screen will go off just as if I short pressed the power button. I'll press the power button and swipe the screen to unlock. Everything is just as it was when the screen went off, but now the menu, power, and back buttons are non-functional. There are no lights or haptic feedback when I press them. My device was previously rooted before the 4.4.2 update and I had to use odin to install the upgrade. The issue didn't start for a couple of weeks after the update. Once the screen blanks and the buttons become non-functional, minutes later they will start working again; however, at some point, the screen will blank again and the cycle repeats. I have restored to factory settings with no luck resolving the issue. In fact, the screen will blank while I'm still in the setup phase. I really don't know what to try next to resolve this problem and my device is pretty much unusable at this point. Any thoughts or suggestions as to what I could try to fix this? Thanks in advance for any help - Jeff Gaiche

Couple questions.....do you have a case or screen protector on it? Sometimes these can interfere with the sensor and cause these type of issues.

I do have a case on the device. It's been cased pretty much since I purchased it. I guess it can't do any harm to remove it from the case, just to see if it's possibly interfering with a sensor somewhere. The issue does seem to have been sporadic at first. I'll give that a try. Thanks for the suggestion -- Jeff

Was just a thought. Otherwise it might be a defective sensor that has to be replaced. Not really sure.

I had the same issue. In my case the buttons still worked if I used the spen. I went back and wiped both the cache and Dalvik Cache*and it resolved the issue.

Unresponsive, Glitchy, is it me or the watch?

Hi everyone,
Any help here is appreciated.. I have a moto 360 v2, had it for about 5 months and gave up on it a few months back because it was so laggy and glitchy.
Got it out again a week ago, thinking maybe new updates or whatnot would get it up to speed, and having the same results.
The watch was unresponsive 80% of the time, and spent most of its time flipping in between awake and dimmed, so I turned off AOD as suggested in other posts (although it should have been fixed as I am on the recent firmware?). I also turned off the "lift wrist" wakeup gesture. Now if I touch the screen or press the side button, it usually turns the screen on and then instantly back off. If I can get it to stay on I can open notifications about 50% of the time, the other 50% the screen is unresponsive. Lastly, if the side button opens the apps its a miracle, and I can scroll through the apps briefly before becoming unresponsive.
I've tried factory reset and the above two fixes.
I just tried recovery mode, but the screen doesnt work in recovery mode so I can't swipe between options..
I have emailed Motorola but haven't heard back yet.
I'd love for this device to work well, as it seems like a great device, but its basically unusable atm.
Any help/suggestions would be great!
Thanks

YouTube keeps crashing on my tablet.

On my Samsung Galaxy Tab Pro 8.4, when I am watching a YouTube video, the app starts lagging and getting really slow, and then the screen turns black. My whole tablet becomes laggy, and then the YouTube app crashes. It doesn't even say "Unfortunately, YouTube has stopped". It just closes and loads up my home screen. One time when this happened, the app was just stuck on the black screen, and it didn't even close. My whole tablet was frozen. Eventually it said "YouTube is not responding. Do you want to close it?", and I tried clicking yes, but the button didn't even change color. Eventually, it said " System process is not responding. Do you want to close it?", which just shows how bad this problem is. When I pressed and held the power button it didn't even bring up the menu that lets you shut down you device. I eventually had to just force restart my tablet by pressing and holding the power button for 8 seconds. This awful glitch mainly happens when I am using double tap to seek, which is a very useful feature, but I want to disable it because it causes this error. Sometimes it happens when I am not even using double tap to seek. This is really annoying and frustrating since I watch YouTube videos on my tablet a lot. I need a solution to this. If anyone could provide me with a working one that would be great.

Is there any difference if it's charging or not?

Change your adreno driver !
