Unfortunately screen write has stopped - AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note 4

I get this message whenever I take a screenshot with my S-Pen, write something on it and try to save it. If I just take the screenshot with the S-Pen and save it without writing, it works.
The phone just got finished setting up from a factory reset. Tried searching around, but most of the solutions didn't really help or were for other phones.
I'm on 5.0.1 on AT&T

phone function inactive

Hi, I am using a WM5 based T-mobile Compact III. it was prefectly functional for the first 3 weeks. Suddently neither the phone button(the green button for answering a call) nor the contacts book function works. After rebooting and powercycle the device many times. it still gives no response, apart from turning the backlight on (i.e. the hardware seems still in good shape). I would suspect it is something wrong with launching (or linking to) the relevant programs for these functions, but I couldn't find the answer to the problem. anyone has the similar experience before? or anyone can help??
Make one more try. Set the phone to fly modus. Make soft reset.
an then turn fly modus off.

you can still browse the contacts or access to the phone function (with a note "phone off" on the top) in the fly mode. My problem is the phone function is nowhere to find at all.... thinking might be a problem somewhere in the registry...
anyone has more idea on this issue? please help...
If you suspect the registry what have you been doing with the device? I would sugest a full hard reset and return the device to the out of the box situation, Page 90 of the manual explains how to do this. As a direct result you will loose all software and settings, the device will be returned to the same state it was in when you removed the unit from the box, if the phone still doesn't work take it back - Mike

I have done nothing suspicious, i.e. any attempt to the registry, apart from applying a network unlock to the phone 2 weeks before it came to this problem. As you suggested, a hard reset seems to be the only solution now... thanks for your reply anyway

[Q] Help - can I save my Wave Y?

Sorry I think I might be a noob but I'm trying not to be...please be gentle.
I have a problem with my Wave Y GT5380D
I wanted to give to it someone so I did a factory reset - which I think was a big mistake! (read others have had similar problems after doing this)
At first it worked but wouldn't connect to the network - then I realised the SIM card was probably dud (had had it a while and it doesn't work on another phone) .
It was a Virgin phone but when you turn it on it gave you the option of Virgin and Tmobile - I had a valid Tmobile sim put that in and it seemed to work fine - sent and received a few texts....then disaster. :crying:
It keeps rebooting - you get to the home screen for a second and it reboots. (So the samsung screen, bada screen -if you put in a SIM card it lets you set it up/pin unlock -but no time to enter anything/get to settings etc)
I've tried using firmware recovery and intialisation in Kies -it doesn't recognise my serial number...
I've tried flashing it - but the only file I could find didn't contain the boot files...and I guess this is a boot problem?
Does that sound right? and if it is is can you point me in the right direction to find them...
Or does it sound like something else ?
Grateful for any advice... (but I am new to this so in stupid person terms would be appreciated!)
Thank you
(Right now I hate Samsung AND Bada - I want to scream, cry and jump up and down on it - updated to android because Kies/samsung wasn't recognising my phone - I couldn't even download Bada apps! Spent hours on this - couldn't get my contacts off it, then took hours to save my texts as even a text file....now this :crying: And actually in lots of ways I prefer Bada ... more user friendly )

I had the same problem with it. I did a factory reset then after a while it it closed out of nowhere then restart, stay up for 2 seconds then reboot again. I let it 30 minutes to do the same restart thing hoping it will change. Then I went to a phone repair shop and it reflashed my wave y. I got it back yesterday and after 2 hours of using it I went on the widgets screen and pressed the refresh button for the news. And then I figured out what was the real problem because it started doing that again . So I went to the repair shop again and now I avoid entering that first screen with the widgets :victory:
I advise you to do the same thing I did because they can fix it for like 10 euros (was the price for me) and never enter that screen again :good:
Thank you for your reply
I thought I must be too much of a noob.
I took it to a repair shop and they said they could fix it (for £10) but then got it back saying actually they couldn't. I suspect they can't find the boot files either.
Can someone point me in the right direction for a full upload - including the boot files?
It is so frustrating because it was a perfectly good phone :crying:
he is right

Please for the love of XDA

I've been trying to fix my Sprint Galaxy Note 4 for about 6 months now everyone Rom or every Factory rom I tried putting on my phone my phone always reboots after 30 seconds and it's because I went inside the hidden menu and change one of the settings that I had no business changing and I cannot get my phone just a booth at no more than 30 seconds and I was hoping if someone knew how I could fix it or if someone could please send me a backup that they've made I can take out all their files that they have any information of theirs so I can then put it on my phone and give that a try because no matter what I've tried I could not get my phone to stay but it no longer than 30 seconds and the option. I changed in the hidden menu was something that said integrate Null.Every since I turned it on my phone constantly reboots after 30 seconds any advice or if anybody could send me a backup that they have made I will be greatly appreciated because my only option left is to send it back to Samsung and try to pay them to fix it but I really don't want to do please and thank you in advance

Have you tried to Odin a stock tar? If not try that.
that was a real pain to read. use paragraphs! before it reboots try updating profile
it tends to undo some user edits in the hidden menu

Weird bricked GT-I9195 stuck on black screen after Samsung logo

So, unluckily today i find myself here lookin' for help with my phone. I had already took a look on other brick threads, but i can't find an appropriate answer to my problem.
I'm (i was) running lineage-14.1-20170602-nightly, i had ne0zone75's TWRP 3.1.0.0-0, and that's how the brick came in a strange way; i was simply on XDA Labs app browsing the forum, when i received a call. I've answered, and when i shut off the call the phone shut off immediately after. I thought it was a reboot, but keeping pressed the power button didn't switched on the phone anymore. So i've tried to remove the battery and re insert it after some minutes, but the only thing i can get is the screen with the samsung logo that goes all black after 5 seconds. I already had other bricks due some errors of mine in the past, but this time it's really difficult.
1: I can't access recovery mode. Ow, how i wish i could.
2: I can access download mode, but after that i reach the ODIN MODE screen with the details of product binary, KNOX, ecc. the phone shuts off again.
3: If i keep the power button pressed, the phone doesn't starts. It only starts if i replug the battery in, but after some seconds it shuts off again.
4: How could a call as another mess up the whole phone?
5: I didn't installed nothing new from at least a week... yesterday an automatic update of the Play Store took place, but except that nothing has been changed. Nothing of nothing! No settings, no apps...
What could i do? Installing Kies with Samsung drivers could help me flashing a stock rom for example? Because at the moment, there isn't too much that i can do with the phone in this state... I hope this little jewel won't have to become a stone to be thrown away. Any help would be great, and really appreciated. Thanks in advance...
Things has got worse. Now my device doesn't starts at all; no vibrations, no signs of life, nothing. I've tried even to put it for 6 hours in my refrigerator, because i've read that the cold temperature could be helpful to fix some broken contacts on some component, but i'm losing hope 'bout it. I supposed that at this point is something hardware-based and not software, because it's just impossible that a call like an other one could be the cause of this hard brick... The only thing is that if connected to my PC, it is being showed as QHSUSB_LOAD. I'll try some methods that i've seen in other forums, like softwares that tries to fix this, but i think that i'll be forced to buy a new device. Neither an usb-jig could help me to force the download mode if the phone is dead in every aspect... the only thing that i still didn't understood, is if a debrick.img on my SD card (sadly i've read that a microSD class 10 with at least 16 GB is required, and i don't have one) could help somehow on a situation like this one of not. Still no one could advice me with some tip, guys
Edit - feel free to close this thread, I have another phone now

Note 10 Plus Qualcomm D2Q in sporadic boot loop..

I've been running the latest update on the d2q Note 10 welcome it's a n975u1, and I've been running ice box as my device owner as well as revenant and also use a box to keep my apps under control, very conscientiously I must add.
Ever since the last update was ready to be installed I was trying to put it off because I was hoping to get off on one of those new routing techniques that keep telling me that I can't update my system Os or I won't be able to get it done, so I kept putting it off, but with each day my system kept getting more and more strained and suddenly just begin going into a straight boot loop going from the startup screen with the Android name printed across the screen and then saying it was booted and has been reset and then immediately going straight back to that Opening screen with the Android logo on it and repeatedly doing it until I catch it at the right time to Power It Off. My question is is there any way that I am going to be able to get around having to do a factory reset on this device or does anybody have any other suggestions that may circumvent this tedious measure at this point? I've been routinely wiping system cache, make sure I got all my backups ready to go during the periods of time that it doesn't go into bootloop,(which seems to be usually once a day for a few hours it will operate just perfectly until just suddenly shuts off with no warning signs). I was also able to get onto the Verizon update app via ADB download mode and they ran a scan on it and determined that they could fix my device if I were to leave it plugged in and allow them to do it. Theresa in the process of the repair that they said needs to be done. They didn't say what this repair would consist of, so I have no idea what is the real issue here. I've been trying to get as many system debugging reports as I can pick up along the way from various apps that record crashes and such but not sure really how to process that information to be able to determine what exactly the issue is. I'm at my wit's end and just about to point to just go for it the factory reset as much as I hate to do that! I think that I have Extreme Complex post-traumatic factory reset disorder and would do just about anything to avoid having to go through this again! If anybody has any advice I would very much appreciate it and I hope I'm posting in the right for him because all these Note 10 forms get kind of confusing when you got all the various processors and countries and all the other factors that you have to where to figure out where you're supposed to be asking a question here! LOL sorry, thanks!
Power management apps and launchers can boot loop you fast... so I learned
I get good run times with no power management on my stock N10+, but it's heavily optimized and I am using a package disabler.
To fix it you'll need to edit the offending apk(s) out of the boot sequence. I haven't a clue how to do that. The power management app is the most likely suspect though.
