On my G2, I've noticed that previously perfectly working apps will suddenly stop working, giving me a force close error whenever I try to launch them after being installed for a period of time. The only way I've been able to fix it is by uninstalling and then reinstalling the application.
Has this occurred to anyone else? And what should I do to fix this problem?
yes, i had this problem a few days ago...i did a factory reset and everything works fine as of now.
are there any solutions that don't require a wipe?
i had to wipe, and i lost all my mileage records i had entered into the mileage app, and my text messages before i backed them up...
its not too bad when its 2 weeks worth of information... but if this is going to occur often, its not going to be pretty
The two times that happened to me a simple power off/power on worked and they stopped Force Closing. I'm taking it that it didn't work in your situation and the uninstall/reinstall was the only fix?
yea i tried rebooting it several times, but after my latest wipe, nothing bad has happened...
still an issue that should be raised if its been replicated more than once
Ive had this problem with the stock browser and twitter, rebooting seemed to fix it.
Ah, one of those times where fix_permissions would be nice.
I've had to uninstall and re-install several of my apps because they've been force closing.

I've had this happen and it was acting really weird before it did it. It did like a vicious reboot and just about any app other than stock got a force close upon opening. It's gotta be software issues, god I hate stock roms. Damn TMobile and trying to restricting our joy of root.

This is starting to happen to me on my G2 as well now. I have uninstalled the Apps I could (except the preinstalled ones) and still they are force closing on me. I also have Factory Reset the phone several times and it still is happening. I have already exchanged my G2 once at Walmart for a flickering screen but im pretty sure the 14 days are up now with them. At this point I'm sure I have to call Tmobile.
Anyone have any ideas before I call T-Mobile?
I'm not rooted at all just plain stock.
Thanks
The game in question is Marble Blast! by Ezjoy Network. (I cannot post outside links yet, sorry)
On my first Galaxy Nexus I would play that game daily without any issue. I just got a replacement phone from Verizon yesterday (screen issues) and now every time I try and play the same game, my phone reboots on the "Loading Feint..." screen. I've heard Feint might not be compatible with ICS yet?
I see that the app was updated on Dec 31 and I didn't have auto-update enabled for that app, so on my old phone I was probably playing an earlier version of it. There is only one comment on the market from someone having a similar issue, with many more comments from people with galaxy nexus devices rating the game highly.
Two questions:
1. Can anyone else confirm phone rebooting with latest version of this game on a galaxy nexus?
2. This is my first android phone, so is it common for an errant app to be able to reboot the phone? I can see it crashing the app, but isn't rebooting the phone a little severe and something an app shouldn't be able to do?
have you tried xda app?
Just installed and testing now. Seems to work fine. Does this app cause phone reboots for people too?

lol. give it some time. but to answer your question, i can't say for 100% i am sure apps cause reboots, but i think they can and do. xda gives me fits sometimes. but surprisingly, most apps haven't given me problems with nexus. if they have, i've uninstalled them right away. i am awaiting a solid build from google before i give a few apps a second chance.
That game is the only app I've ever had reboot the phone. It was odd to me that Nexus #1 played the game fine daily for 2 weeks, Nexus #2 reboots every time. Makes me wonder if it's the phone or the software?
Since no other app is doing that, I'll blame the software for now.
it's probably in need of another update still. ics is still fresh so be patient. you are an early adopter still even though it officially came out on verizon.
Has anyome else recieved a stability update on the 8.4?
yes for the US SM-T320 8.4 but I'm getting random reboots. it was fine on the earlier version, never had any random reboots. I tried to factory reset after the update but still the same. it seems to do a soft random reboot when you are doing something on the tablet and you leave it idle for a few seconds. It never rebooted while I'm actively using it even if the load is high..

Mine says device modified, I am rooted - any workaround?
I'm currently uploading the new ND3 DeOdex ROM base now. (Tab Pro 8.4 Wi-Fi)
I will also upload the bootloader firmware (Odin flashable) too.
I managed to capture a logcat but I can't seem to identify the cause of reboots, can anyone assist with that pls...

TabPro 8.4 random restarts
Hello guys
So, it appears i am not alone then.
The school i work in as an IT tech, has purchased us 2 TabPro 8.4 tablets and the one i have has given me hell so far with these random reboots.
It has the latest update and is also rooted. It has nothing to do with the root i believe as it did it before and also after applying the latest OTA update. I have now factory reset it and noticed a slight difference in the home screen where i now have 2 pages (1 home screen of course) wheres, as far as i remember, when i first turned it on it only had 1. I may be wrong though.
I didn't sign in to any accounts yet (google, samsung dropbox etc.) and left it with Google chrome and Samsung own browser open. I suppose only time will tell now. It's really bloody frustrating though because i spent hours loading all my apps again and restoring app data via Helium etc.
Another thing i noticed is that even i after wiping the tablet via recovery (Wipe device/factory reset option) it actually kept root.
New device, issues gone
Got my replacement unit from John Lewis today (i must say their service is the best i have seen) and spent hours on the device rooting it and installing all the apps i had on my other unit.
I have not encountered one single reboot so far , whereas my previous unit restarted on me pretty much 30 minutes after i first turned it on.
My advice to you is if you are having stability issues and random restarts with your TabPro 8.4, send it back for a replacement.
I installed the update also and haven't had any issues or random reboots either. The screen sensitivity fixes are great. Huge difference.
I spoke too soon it seems. It did restart on me. Twice. Once whilst caching images on quickpic app and second time installing Samsung's own office suite of applications.

What is this? Stability or Instability update? Sammy, why?
anyone who doesn't suffer from Random reboots, are you rooted?
also those who suffer from reboots, are you all rooted?
My the Theory: I think this reboots are related to being rooted or have knox void.
Mine restarted before root but after I installed the OTA update. I since rooted it but it didn't change a thing obviously. God knows how many times it reboots a day. I leave it in airplane mode with a few apps running and after a couple of hours I notice that the apps that ran on the background are not there anymore so I figured out it restarted. is there anyway to uninstall the OTA update???

Stability update
Since reverting back to old version (and rooting the device again) i have suffered 0 random reboots. Looks like the latest update screws something up.

I have two 8.4's and they both boot when I wake them up. They are rooted with Xposed, but I uninstalled Xposed and tried one without it and it still boots at random. So IMO Xposed/root isn't causing the trouble.
See my other post... wonder if that'll fix this. I'd almost rather have the reboots over the screen sensitivity problem, but either way, the tabs aren't really usable.
Rich
I have used my tab pro 8.4 now for 5 days running on the old firmware rooted and with xposed running, without a single glitch. I'd strongly advise people to avoid updating the tablets to the latest ND3 firmware.
Sent from my SM-T320 using XDA Premium 4 mobile app
I purchased a tab pro 8.4 a few weeks ago and was noticing random reboots several times an hour. A couple of days later I got the update and didn't see any change in reboot behavior. Couldn't link it to anything at all as it happened before as well as after rooting and adding Xposed.
Changed to Average Joe's debloated (elsewhere in the forums) and have had zero random reboots since. Also running several exposed modules without any problems. Purely anecdotal, but it appears to have increased the overall responsiveness of the device while keeping most of the good things Samsung put on top of stock Android.
New update
Samsung released a new update to the TabPro 8.4 which is supposed to improve stability and add "Kids mode" (firmware version ending with NE3). I gave it a go and the random reboots got back! wiped my device clean and installed NAI firmware and all is well again!
Hey guys, i love my pixel 3 XL its been great but it has been randomly freezing and locking up, somtimes requiring a restart.
Other time i get the system UI crashed message and then i close it and it works again. Sometimes Chrome or the camera app locks up and crashes too.
Anybody experiencing this? Any ideas on a fix, maybe the next December OTA will fix it hopefully.
Thanks

I'm getting pretty fed up of factory resetting my phone, the phone started saying it's corrupt so I ended up reflashing it and that issue is now gone, but this freezing issue happens every now and then. You really think a factory reset is worth trying? Or could have something of gone wrong with the reflash?

I absolutely would try a factory reset if things are acting strange for no apparent reason.

If you flashed the factory image it's either a hardware or app issue. Have you tried using the phone for awhile with a minimum of apps? I'd give that a try I don't think a factory reset will do anything if you've already flashed the factory image.

Pixel 3 XL crashing
I have had the same problem. My system UI crashes since new, along with other apps and the phone becomes non-responsive. I thought it was just a new phone glitch that would be fixed with an update, no such luck... I need to do a hard reboot by holding the power button until it reboots. I bought a Pixel 2 XL in August and never had any problems like this. I finally contacted Google about the problems and they RMA'd it. I never root my phones before making sure they work correctly, so this one is and has been stock, unrooted.
My wife and I have the 64GB models in Black (mine), White (hers). She's on her 3rd replacement phone for what seems to be a similar issue.
Symptoms:
When using the fingerprint reader to unlock the phone, it may not unlock for 10+ tries.
The phone's battery drains quickly, within a couple hours of barely any use, her phone might be down to 60-70%
System_UI crashes
Some apps don't seem to load quickly (Like going into messages, you see the app container, and a new chat button, but no messages load for a minute). Or she's had a straight up black screen, and the app wouldn't load.
Takes minutes to call or hang up a call and often takes rebooting to close out the phone app.
It almost seems like something is running in the background that is utilizing the CPU and causing the lag/app/battery issues.
Troubleshooting:
Factory Reset
Wiping Dalvik Cache
Replacing the phone twice through Verizon. The first replacement had the same issues immediately. The 2nd phone showed the same issues immediately, and then went away for 3 weeks since the Dec. 5th Security update, but in the past few days has returned.
Booted in Safe Mode (everything seems to be working fine however extremely limited).
We've also checked the processes and no apps seem to be running that would make any sort of impact.
Running out of ideas

Since the December update, the freezing issues I was having have been significantly reduced, but it still freezes sometimes... I am hoping the January update coming in the next week will smooth out any remaining bugs.
Any of you using a different launcher?
I had this freezing and non-responsive issue. The google rep, replaced it, he determined it is some kind of hardware issue. My replacement didn't have this issue at all (November update). However, the lag/stuttering still persists though. I had replaced quiet a few pixel 3 XL, and i am just getting tired of it. For a $1K phone, we shouldn't get mediocre quality of phone.
So my wife had been removing applications in small groups to try to narrow it down. It seemed for a week or so that she was in the clear and everything was working. Then all of a sudden she got the January update and her phone is still having issues.
Slow responding finger print reader.
System UI crashes
Unable to answer phone calls despite numerous attempts.
It still seems like there is something that is running in the background that is just using the processing power.

Get gsam from the app store, if you don't have it. After awhile see what apps are using battery, app sucker in the app. Gsam is a battery monitor.

Sadly, gsam and accubattery don't show anything out of the norm app wise.
Just got the new update today morning, it's been a lag fest since then, one to two second pauses when opening apps, pauses when pressing any of the nav buttons, horrible battery drain. It's 2pm now and Im down to 15% already.
First screen shot is from today, second is from yesterday's usage.
Already cleared cache, made no difference.
Which app it is? Your screenshot?
Exactly what I wanted to know as well.

Regarding the topic, for me, personally, this update has been quite good. Everything runs well and I like the small visual clues and changes.

Lucky you, this is the first time an update screwed up my phone. I'll probably have to wipe the phone.
Hey , my phone has been the same, lag and stutters while scrolling and opening apps and stuff. I've cleared cache multiple times , didn't worked. You need to factory reset, it works so smooth now.
Update running great for me, I did optimize apps right after via galaxy labs however.
No lag, battery the same as it was before.
Same here....I will pass update.
My S20+ after update: battery drain, laggy scroll, laggy opening apps....
I tried all day trying to fix it but nothing....I booted in safe mode and not lucky so it is not and installed app.
I tried wipe cache...I tried disable multiple services, wipe cache and data from touch wiz, etc....nothing works.
Phone is totally useless after updated with lag and battery drain...and runs very hot
That updated is a Russian Roulette....beware!!
I will try to flash a clean rom using odin and restore apps.

my opinion , after every big update , device need factory reset and install everything from 0.
that what i did with my s20 ultra after one ui 2.5 update

S20 SD. No problem with the update.
Had the same issue as you. If you're using package disabler, enable all pkgs, clear the cache, restart, and then redisable. Worked for me
I had the same problem but in my case I got it fixed after enabling IMS with Package Disabler because I had these disabled without issues before the update.
After enabling this my S20 Ultra runs good again, so if you have package disabler installed start looking into that.
So definitely no need to reset like others say lol, it is no new Android so why would you just a conflicting going on
Btw I install updates always with first enabling everything and update all disabled ans then installing updates.
After update, running galaxy labs, cache cleaning and then disabling my list with Package Disabler again.
So don't no why IMS packages gave me issues this time....

!!!EXACTLY!!! The same thing is happening to me. Slow fingerprint unlock (its getting stuck sometimes), Slow in opening the apps, navigating back. I clreared the cache but no use. Its dam frustrating, I feel like Im using heavy software on Galaxy S5 phone
The update has been fine for me, T-mobile s20+ SC. Only thing annoying me is that they took away wallpaper scrolling from 3rd party launchers.
Has anyone had issues with automatic wallpaper apps? I use resplash to auto set a wallpaper every 3 hours. It seems everytime overnight it will switch itself to a default Sam wallpaper for no reason.
I received this update few days ago. but I have no issues, I thing even the time of battery is definitely better. software is responding good and fast.
Just two old bugs are still chasing myphone. The edge lightning ( does not work. ex: Messenger APP) and delay on gMails notifications.
My wireless charger stopped working after the update, no other issues.
Everytime my screen turns off my WiFi gets disconnected and then I turn it on and it connects again. Any ideas?
S20+ on VZW. No issues.
Only thing not working is I can no longer expand notifications from Nest, though not sure if that's a Nest problem or on the phone's end.
I feel it's noticely faster on my S20 Ultra (G988B) and battery may be the same or slightly better. Ovrerall, great update especially the DeX and Pro Video recording update.
