Error - Unfortunately, S Note has stopped working - Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

using a non-rooted factory default Galaxy Note 2.
I booted it today, then the msg appeared.
i've tried uninstalling the app that i have recently installed thinking that there is conflict.
but still not helping.
anyway to solve this error?

Try clearing data and cache..It should fix
Sent from my AweSoMe ☆♥Note2♥☆

hope what @mannyvinny said helps, I've had this problem once and tried everything (my device was rooted, and restores with TB didn't solve it)
the final solution was a factory reset, then restoring apps from titanium one by one (except for S-note) and then it worked
also, I removed all my notes from the Snotes folder on the sdcard, started snote once, then put the files back in and started it again
(it's 5am here, so if I don't make any sense, I blame life)

As @tmils said he is using factory non-rooted stock, clearing data and cache from app manager is the only way..but if It was rooted,then it would've been fixed using few clicks(using titanium backup)
Titanium Backup is boon for rooted users!

I had the same issue, reloaded firmware, clear data and cache with no fix. I thought about to do a factory reset, but just b4 I was going to do it. I suddenly have an idea just flashed in my mind. This is what I did.... go to setting > my device > S pen > put a check mark on the "Open Popup Note when the pen is detached". Then back to the home screen, pull out the S pen and a mini S note will open. Close it and now you should be able to open the regular S Note. It works on my Note 2. Good luck guys.

It helps but not for long. After a little while problem coming back. For me problem started right after I upgraded to 4.3.
I don't feel like removing everything and cleaning cache as I have notes I don't want to delete. Is samsung planning to release fix for this I'm wondering.

fixed

Thx!!! That seems to have fixed it for me. Now if they would put back the ability to take pictures from video, I'd be set...

Google account on phone is GONE!

I just opened my phone & tried to open my gmail & it just closed, no FC or anything just a black screen that opened & closed real fast. I then tried to open the market & it says you must add a new account so i hit yes & that just closes to, so i went to settings accounts & sync & my gmail is not in there so i hit add account & there is no gmail in there. Anyone know how i can get my Google account working again? I also tried loading the market webpage on my laptop & it won't even open. Wonder if Google is having problems.
I had this problem before but can't remember for the life of me how i fixed it. I am rooted & running Shooter Rom. I don't want to restore my phone, that's my last option.

(If you are still experiencing this problem)
Restart your phone once (works most of the time)...if that doesn't do it, clear cache and dalvik and reflash the rom (without full wipe)...
Alternatively, you could also try fixing permissions from the recovery.

The restart didn't work. If i do the wipes & reflash without full wipe will i still have all my apps & everything i downloaded?

Yes. You will have all your existing apps and data. Reflashing should replace missing files and redo the permissions.

"unfortunately, android keyboard has stopped."

I got this error when I tried to install Smartr Contacts and took it off my phone. It keeps popping up and freezing the system...i tried to restore titanium backup android.keyboard but to no avail. Can someone please tell me what to do other than restoring a backup? Are there any other processes I can try to restore?
Phone was bought and rooted and worked on from yesterday til today it is an ICS samsung galaxy s3 att i747
Only happens when Android keyboard (as opposed to swype/samsung keyboard) is selected?
Fix anyone?

Flash this http://db.tt/3i5sQZ5V
Just ignore the text its made of another 1 of.my zips lol.
Tried to flash kb.zip... failed
tried to force stop, clear data/ cache/davlik failed
I might just download a copy of a custom keyboard (keyboadr pro) from store and load the ics keyboadr on keyboard pro...a little more customizable too.
Reading about the error I foudn that it might have to do with the kernel (as opposed to the rom). So I wouldn't jump the flashing the restore bandwagon so fast

Try using another keyboard I guess - Samsung or Swype.

Since a few people ran into this issue I would leave the Samsung keyboard out of that Turboslim script. It was the only keyboard along with voice that worked. I would get the same error off of different ones in market. What is it that messes up those keyboard but not the Samsung one is the question.
I put on AOKP last night so this isn't a worry for me right now. If you have the samsung keyboard as standalone and can post it as an apk or zip, it would be really nice for those who are faicng the same dilemma and fall upon this thread or for when I go back to that rom

[Q] Arghhhhh, TouchWiz Messed Up

I had LauncherPro running and used Titanium backup to freeze it. Now I cant use my Note coz it just keeps telling me that the TouchWiz is stopped and then the screen blacks out. Cant even get to Titanium Backup to unfreeze it.
Please help to either unfreeze or to reset in some way back to anything that works.
You could try installing another launcher via the play store website. It'll get pushed to your phone providing it's got a network connection.
I'm not sure if you can unfreeze an app via adb, if so you could give that a go.

cant go to playstore or anything else on the note. can't change home screens, cant open an app either. can only use the hardware button to shut down. the touch screen is giving a stopped message when i unlock after boot and when I ok the message the screen blacks out. the message comes back in a few seconds but I can only ok the message and then the screen blacks out. CLOSED LOOP.
I meant go to the play store on a PC, it will get pushed to your phone over the air.

I deleteed TouchWiz launcher with Titanium and now I don't have any FCs or problems with my Nova Prime launcher.
The white LauncherPro installed over the air from my pc but it didnt help as I dont have a way to activate it on my Note. Would need to see the screen to go into settings to activate it.
I'll have a look at adb even though I am quite sure it will not have the unfreeze option. Maybe I can reset to factory or similar.
Any other ideas are welcome.
It should have detected a new launcher and given you the option to select it, try something like GoLauncher (different from Launcher Pro you installed).
I'm still trying to think of ways to do it without resorting to wiping the phone.
If I do I'll let you know.

Just use odin to flash a stock rom. Or wipe your phone from the recovery.

You can just reflash the to stock again.
i tried the go launcher and it worked fine but the ended up with google play and titanium backup missing among the installed apps so couldnt unfreeze LauncherPro and the if selected TouchWiz was still messed up. I finally gave up used adb to reboot into cwm and reset to factory.
Really confusing the TouchWiz is still an issue after the reset. and can't do any action on the phone. Looks like I will have to flash back to stock unless somebody can come up with something else otherwise please point me to where i can find the stock rom and flashing instructions.

I had a similar problem as the OP and though this thread didn't really help me, I figured I'd post what wound up working for me.
For starters, I was going to follow what was recommended on the Titanium Backup FAQ Item#21:
titaniumtrack.com/kb/titanium-backup-kb/titanium-backup-troubleshooting.html#frozen-too-many-apps-now-cant-use-device-to-launch-TB
However, I wasn't in front of my computer and I didn't want to be phone-less all day, so I tried to find some work around to get where I could unfreeze the important apps in TB.
My main problem was that I couldn't access any apps due to the fact that the home page would immediately fail and give me the "Touchwhiz Home has stopped working" error.
I still had partial access to the phone in that I could still access the pull-down menu.
Blocking mode was enabled so it showed up in the pull-down menu and I could click on it and then get into my phone settings.
I tried going through settings to get to TB and while I could get to the Application Manager, I couldn't directly launch it from there. I force-closed TB and rebooted the phone...big surprise, nothing changed.
I figured wiping Dalvic was worth a shot too (from CWM), but that didn't have much of an effect either (though it did force an app update on reboot).
Anyway, since I still had access to the pull down menu and notifications, I decided to see if I could txt myself a link (from another phone) to the TB googleplay location since you can launch the application directly from the Play store. Well, I got the txt, but I couldn't open it due to a "messaging has stopped working" error every time I clicked on it.
Since I got the notification, I knew information was still obviously getting to my phone, so I figured I'd give it a try via gmail since it is less tied to the phone launcher than messaging.
Sure enough, I got the notification and I was able to open gmail from the notification. Clicking on the googleplay link in the email successfully launched the Playstore. From there I was able to launch Titanium Backup and unfreeze Touchwhiz Home.
Hope this helps someone else, I was really not looking forward to doing a complete wipe and re-install of my whole phone.
This simple jumping around to get to TB does obviously require that you can access your notifications and that you have them turned on...otherwise you're still screwed.
If your phone is rooted and you have a custom Rom on, just Reinstall the Rom again without wiping anything through recovery. It will bring back the touchwiz launcher without touching your data. It might reset your app settings back at least all your contacts, messages, etc will still be there.

I just went through this. And maybe this will help the next person searching for a solution.
I froze touch wiz in Titanium and could not boot. So I went to Google Play on my desktpop and logged in. Then installed "Smart Launcher". I had no idea if it was installing or not but on Google Play on my desktop it said "installed" so i did a battery pull and restarted into Smart Launcher. Then rebooted again to get the prompt which launcher Iwanted to use and I chose "touch wiz" and "don't ask me again"

[Q] looking for help with bluetooth problems (com.android.phone stopped working)

Hi all,
Today I collected my new car from my dealer, which has a m0bridge carkit built in.
When I connect my phone (Samsung Galaxy Nexus, CM10 stable). I get the message "unfortunately the process com.phone.android stopped working".
To find the cause I've taken the following steps:
- fix permissions
- uninstall all apps
- wipe cache
- wipe dalvik cache
At this point the problem still exists. If I do a factory data rest (settings -> Backup & reset -> Factory data reset), the problem is gone.
I'm both curious to what's causing this (always looking to learn) and trying to avoid doing a complete reinstall, so what more steps can I take to get closer to the cause of the problem?
Thanks in advance!

Oops, sorry mod, tx for move
solved
It took a while, but I got it figured out. For some reason there was something in my sms storage which caused this. Making a backup of all my sms data, deleting it all and restoring solved it for me.
GazUK: since I can imaging that this is not wat causes this for you, this how I found it. First I made a backup with ClockWorkMod to go back to, after that, using Titanium Backup I started erasing all apps.
The problem still persisted when all apps were uninstalled, so I started to erase system stuff (backup / restore -> set a filter on 'system').
Keep in mind that you will screw up your installation, so uninstall a bunch, reboot and if it boots check if the problem is there.
This way, after a while, I found that for me to get it working I had to erase "Phone/Messaging Storage"
Hope it helps!
The erase data is disabled under phone messaging
How do you enable it?
It wasn't disabled for me. Are you rooted?
Yes
I managed to erase but still get BT error with my car kit

In that case it's something else for you. You can use the same approach, keep deleting stuff until it starts working.
Which rom are you using?

This happened about a year ago, I was using the most current cyanogenmod at the time.
Latest 10 or 11?

The latest which was available a year ago. So 10 at most.
If you do a reinstall, is the problem then gone?

I will wipe all my data with factory reset and try for version 11
If it will not work I will try 10
Do you mind taking a snapshot of your build number?

I don't use the phone which had this problem anymore. Besides, it doesn't matter, for me the problem was solved with doing a reinstall with the same rom. In your case it almost sounds like an hardware error.

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.

Fast boot flash back to stock. If camera is still acting up then its more than likely hardware issues

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.
