Hello,
I’ve been having a problem with my Samsung Galaxy S3 since the last update where I am unable to use my Settings. Every time I tried to access something in the Settings, it would display a message that reads ‘Unfortunately, Settings has stopped working.’ I’ve tried a factory reset and it still does not work. I’m now stuck at a Welcome screen and I can see that my data is working again. I don’t know what to do anymore.

hi,
I have a rooted HTC one x and have recently noticed my Bluetooth refuses to turn on, I have looked around and found that 'Device Encryption' could be the cause of the problem but I have never used any encryption. I would prefer not to reset my phone but I will if necessary. I have never connected to any ActiveSync/ exchange email accounts because they were asking for too many permissions.
okay, i have backed up everything and reset my phone... still nothing
Hey guys, I've been searching for problems first before posting but I've yet to find a thread that actually fixes this specific problem. It's a little different than the other threads I've seen. Basically my phone can connect to my interwebs and I can browse webpages on dolphin browser but I can't connect to the play store. I've tried going to the play store on my desktop and trying to download apps to my phone that way but they never start downloading on my phone. I've tried resetting my router, multiple times yet it only worked once and hasn't worked any other trys after that. I've also tried dialing multiple " *# " numbers, some don't even connect and *#0011#* gave me an error about my connectiong and an invalid MMI. My router is secured through a WPA-key. Another thing that just recently started up was that snapchat would give me an error when I open it saying it has stopped working. Unrelated perhaps but maybe not.
I've been able to connect to other routers at other houses and my school, sometimes they work and sometimes they don't. I've noticed that when the wifi signal icon turns blue then everything will work. When it's grey, it's a complete toss up on whether it'll work or not.
I'm running Cyanogen Mod 10.2-20130925

If you did a factory reset when you upgraded to 10.2, then there isn't much you can do. If you have not done that, do it.

No, I haven't factory reseted it. I'm trying to avoid any factory resets to lose my information but right about now I'd try anything. Do you have an up to date guide on flashing ROMs and keeping my contacts?

Contacts are synced to your Google account. But you can export them from the contacts app just to be safe.
You can back up user app data with one of the billion back up apps on the market. Only user apps though, never system apps.
This way, you will only need to redo the system settings. Factory reset will make you lose 20-30 minutes if you're slow.
Hello XDA Community!
I have a really big problem with my Samsung Galaxy Note II. In the past, I rooted my phone using Odin. With time, the phone got slower and slower so I decided to make a factory reset to wipe everything.
But here comes the issue. After the factory reset, I entered the first Samsung Screen. I went past the Wi Fi connection and the Samsung Account Sign In. But after that, the "Unfortunately, Google Play Services has stopped" message popped up and I can't continue after that. The screen is black (only battery and wifi is showing in the upper right side) and the message keeps popping up.
I have tried using the recovery mode to no avail.
Is there any solution for this? I have looked till pages 24-25 of Google but no one has had this problem. That's why I had to register .
I hope you can give some feedback about this. I would appreciate it!
Thanks and Regards!
Hello, This is my first thread in XDA DEVELOPERS.
My Nexus 5x's wifi is not connecting. 4 months ago, my phone boot looped . And I don't have any warranty. I tried every possible way to bring it back but failed. I factory reset then performed a rescue OTA Which was tough to do because the phone was boot looped. But I didn't give up. I contacted the Chinese Repairman(Mr. Huang Jinhui) via WeChat(the one Cathair2906 mentioned in his 4GB RAM upgrade article). I sent my phone to China. And the phone was fixed + the RAM also upgraded from 2GB to 4GB :highfive:. He sent me a video in WeChat that my phone has been fixed and he mentioned that there is an account lock. In his video, The WIFI was connected to his network(not even the caution mark in wifi signal). I am very happy with that. But the Chinese man couldn't go to the home screen as the phone was reset(I performed a rescue OTA after the phone was bricked that's why). My email & password was needed. But in China, Google server is disabled so he can't bypass FRP even if I give him my email & password. While everything is available in Shenzhen, China, I told him to buy me a new battery of my phone and charger and cable. He changed the battery and send me a clip. Everything was fine. But when I got my phone in my hand and tried to go next, I couldn't connect it to any WiFi Network:crying::crying: . It load and then "Unable to connect" caution appeared:crying:. My phone is in Android 7.1.2 with June Security Patch Level. So after watching some youtube videos on how to bypass FRP lock, I followed some steps and went to settings menu via Talkback option. Checked the phone memory, it shows 3.6GB Ram :angel:, that's fine. Then went to wifi option and tried to connect but still failed. Tried WPS push button, didn't work . Then one of my friends told me that since the battery has been changed, the time and date has been reset & wifi won't be connected if there is a major difference in time. I checked the date & time and it was not correct. Then I was hopeful and relaxed that if I set the time and date correctly, the wifi will be connected.
I set the current time & date from settings and tried to connect it to my wifi network......................... Still, I failed :crying:. Turned it off and on then tried again.......... still, it doesn't connect. No "Authentication Error" message appears. In WIFI Settings menu it shows just "Saved" instead of "Connected"
It's not like that my phone can't search WIFI. Everything is okay, WIFI can be turned off & on. It can search WIFI Networks. All okay, just one problem, it is not connecting.
I can't bypass the FRP lock if I can't connect my phone to WIFI. I'm facing bad time after bad time. I am so near that I am finally gonna use my beloved Nexus 5X again still I cannot because of the new found problem "Not connecting to wifi".
If anyone can help me, I will be really very very grateful.
Thanks
Hello, folks. Just picked up a Tab S4 from Best Buy and I'm having a weird issue. Straight out of the box, software update would not work. When I attempt to update manually, it just sits there and spins on "Registering Device" for several minutes, then briefly displays a "registration failed" message and times out.
I finally managed to update to pie using Samsung Switch and it's still doing it. I already tried resetting settings. I haven't wiped it yet, but it was brand new out of the box and doing this immediately, so I don't see how that would resolve it. It just flat refuses to look for updates.
I suppose Samsung's software registration server could be down right now or something. Has anyone else seen this issue? I'm wondering if I should just return it.

Wipe it. Something is funky. Just do a factory reset and see. Whats the harm? If that doesn't work then go get exchange
Well, I completely wiped it and the issue is still there. It just sits there spinning at "Registering device", then times out after several minutes.
The rest of the tablet works fine, but I can't help but thing this shouldn't be happening at all on a new tablet, especially after I manually updated it to Pie using Samsung Flow. I was hoping that would fix it.
