"Unfortunately Settings has stopped" on Acessibility - G4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Today, I just realized I no longer be able to open Accessibility. Whenever I click on it (in Settings), "Unfortunately Settings has stopped" window pops up. I had read in a thread of LG G3 that Llama could be the culprit. but even after I uninstalled it I still cannot open accessibility. Are there any apps that could be the culprit to mess up the Accessibility? Is there a fix for this, for those who ever had experienced this or similar experience?
I dont want to reset at the moment just to fix this.

Dang! Stupid me... I just found out that I might be accidentally frozen the app through Titanium Backup. I found this out after I filtered what apps were frozen that need to be defrosted.
Okay considered this to be closed since I solved it.

phone sense UI keeps force closing.

just uninstalled some apps and now my desire keeps restarting the sense saying "the application HTC sense (process com.htc.launcher) has stopped unexpectadley.please try again. phone is now useless even using an app killer on sense it just restarts and round in circles i go. now unable to use any function of the phone has any one encountered this and can help?
same here
did you manage to find a solution to the problem ?
reinstalling all the removed application hasn't changed a thingh - keeps crashing
I tought the problem might have been with either some LCOALE plug-in that where still in some profiles o Beautiful Widget that where still on some screen but reinstalling them makes no difference
Hard reset is the only option i can see at the moment
I've encountered his yesterday when I tried to switch to another Scene.
Anyway, I found a way around this without having to hard reset.
Everytime you see the force close button, tap it. But all the while, spam the hardware search key until the search bar shows up. Type the first few letters for "Applications". You should be able to access the Applications settings menu. Go into "Manage applications". Go into "HTC Sense" and tap "Clear data". This will erase all your Scenes but it's better than doing a hard reset.
thanks ohyeahar your suggestion was very helpfull
I got to the applications but "manage application" would force close as well - so I searched for settings and was able to get to "Personalize" and "Change the Scenes" to the "Clean State" (probably any othe default scene would have worked as well) and stopping the FC loop -
that leades me to belive the problem was probably caused by beautiful widged being uninstalled (it was my clock)
The easiest solution to this type of problem is to go into safe mode.
Power down the device, and then power on again whilst holding down Menu, and keep Menu held down until the device is fully booted.
You will now be in safe mode (it will say safe mode in the bottom left corner), which prevents all 3rd party apps and widgets from running.
You can then uninstall/delete or whatever.
Regards,
Dave
Thanks Dave was not aware of that possibility and I'm sure it'll be usefull in the future

FC again
well I'm having the same problem again ....
I probably got a bit over confident knowing that a safe mode existed and tried to switch to a saved screen configuration that still included the BW clock and the loop started all over again but now - even after deleting all the custom scenes - even choosing the clean slate scene doesn't help
if I go in SafeMode it still FC the sense UI and reboots the device.....
and "Manage Application" was FC even before when everything also was working
I feel like I'm back using WinMobile phones :-(
even after killing all the running processes it still do the same FC loop - I'll guess there are no other option but to HR
what will I lose by doing-it? and what is the best procedure to use?
thanks
Try this site myhtcdesire.com/tutorials as it has details for fixing the problem.
thanks for the link chesterdob but that solution was already posted by ohyeahar (look at post #3) and in my case doesn't work becouse "manage applications" causes a FC of it's own
how can I make a Hard Reset in this situation ?

Lost glance view permanently by killing the process--my experience and fix

Hi folks,
This is something that happened to me this past weekend I wanted to share.
I use glance view on my S4 and find it useful on occasion. I also have long-press back as a kill switch for misbehaving apps. This function is added through the Wanam xposed module.
I accidentally pressed the kill function while the glance view was activated. I know this because I saw the SuperSU toast come up showing I had killed the glance process. Ok, no problem, I thought. It'll re-start by itself or maybe after I reboot. No way killing a process would affect its ability to be restarted FOREVER.
Wrong. It NEVER came back despite trying so many things. Rebooting, clearing cache and dalvik, activating/deactivating it through settings. Ridiculously frustrating. I could see the process running prior to this incident by looking at the Greenify list of background apps running (GlanceViewMk). It never reappeared. My searching showed that some other task killers would kill the function. But I do not have any other task killers running, and it is not on my Greenify hibernated list.
Oddly, the tutorial glanceview would work just fine sometimes. Just could not get it to work in real life! Clearly the tutorial runs a different process from the system glanceview. And yes, it was lying flat and undisturbed when I would try to activate it.
In the end, I had to resort to restoring the system partition from an older TWRP backup. Could not figure out any way to run/restart the glanceviewmk process directly. Just good luck I had an older nandroid saved.

"notification access" keeps disappearing (lollipop)

I have a Moto 360 running against a samsung s4 running lollipop (official). The phone is however rooted, with a variety of apks disabled, and greenify installed.
I've noticed that "notification access" regularly disappears from android wear - as well as from other apps (ie greenify) every day or so. No idea why!. When I launch "android wear" I see the reminder that notifications are disabled, and can happily go in and re-enable.
Any idea what may be causing this regular disabling. I can't think what sw I have that may be doing it.....
nigel.
it happened to me too after every phone restart.
I solved it by freezing glanceviewMK with titanium backup .
After a week I can confirm that change has indeed fixed it... An odd bug there.. But I don't really need glance view.. Especially as I have a moto 360 too!

"Unfortunately, Home has stopped"

I am getting this error message essentially making the phone useless. I got notification I had an update on Friday. It auto updated, I installed it, it rebooted, and this message continuously pops up and I cant use anything. Factory reset did nothing, and the only semi work around is I was able to get Nova Launcher on there. It semi works but the message comes up every time I lock and unlock the phone.
Nobody seems to know the answer to what the hell this is or what happened but I need someone who is smarter than I to help me fix it please. Any advice is very much appreciated. Phone is unrooted.
Thanks in advance.
Go to setting, General, Apps, All Apps, and fine "Home". Clear cache and reboot.

tried that, it didn't seem to work. Is there something I'm missing? Do certain apps cause this?
Having the same issue right after updating to 6.0; clearing cache didn't work for me either. I suppose I'll try a different launcher in the meanwhile.
"Unfortunately, Home has stopped
I am now rooted using the video instructions from ROOT JUNKY, but I am getting this error message "Unfortunately, Home has stopped" I went to the Apps setting and resets app preference and also clear the home cache but to no effect. i am able to get the simple home setting but not the other advance home setting. please help if you can. Thanks inadvance
LG G4 H815
Problem solved for Lg G4. Go to Settings, General, Apps swipe left to "All" then scroll down to "HOME" not easy home. Open it and clear cache and also "clear data" you will get a warning message when you try to clear data, but that's ok. I was afraid to do this but it works for me, It will only clear and Home screen preference or shortcut you had. You can setup your preferred shortcuts after again. restart and select "Home" as your default. Let me know if this helps
Think not.. Still home crashes
Nope, that's not a fix. All it did was wreck my app placements and settings.. Nothing else. Immediately after clearing the cache and data it crashed exactly the same way.
Home has stopped is becoming increasingly annoying, and also increasing in frequency. I'm going to try Uninstalling the app update that started it all: Voice Mate 4.70.10.
I'll see if this works. If so I'll post here. If not, consider this an open thread and hopefully someone in the G4 community with some skills and knowledge will find a solution.
Anyone found a solution to this problem?
Unfortunately home has stopped!!!!!!!!!

If you have an LG G4 you may have seen this message and waited for the home screen to re-start again, only to happen again and again, I’ve searched all the forums to no avail, so I installed another home screen to got rid of the problem, now have a permanent fix, you have to disable Smart Bulletins:
Go to apps, hit menu, select home screen settings, turn off Smart Bulletins.

Applications force close. Slowness in picture access.

Hello everyone
I have been experiencing force close after force on my Pixel 3xl. I ordered my pixel 3xl on launch day. A week after receiving my device I started to receive sluggish and force close after force in several different apps. I have never experienced android behaving this way. I started to notice that the phone would get sluggish when using Android Messages. When I am receiving an MMS message the phone will lag and then the message will come through. After messages started to act up, other apps such as; Flamingo for Twitter, Instagram and Google plus would force close. For starters I don’t run any app killers, or ram management. I thought the December Pie patch would fix the issue, but I still see it on a daily basis. I reset my phone, and less than a week later, I would see this same behavior. The phone is basically unusable. I contacted Google for an RMA. They processed it and the new phone is still acting this way. This is really odd this behavior would be happening to 2 phones. I have reset the new phone from google once. Not only is this behavior odd, but it would be really hard for me to believe I am the only person experiencing this issue. Thought about rooting it but don't know if that would even help.
Side note: I have noticed when in flamingo for Twitter or Android messages that the phone takes awhile to open or back out of a picture. Sometimes a white space will show near the upper part of the phone (both sides of the notch)
Any help would be appreciated.

Two phones exhibiting the same behavior? It has to be something you are adding (user apps and/or settings) as you set the phone back up. You said "less than a week later" you would see the same behavior- but that means for the first week it was acting normal, correct? Try running the phone in safe mode for a good while and see if the situation changes. If the issue goes away it will confirm it is one or more of your user apps is causing the issue. If it remains the same I would flash a factory image from fastboot mode and let the script wipe the phone (don't edit the script). This is different from a FDR (reset). Then when you set the phone back up add any user apps in stages, allowing a period of time between setting them up. Are there any apps you suspect? Any "non-market" apps? Rooting will not help you, so I would leave that variable out of it until you get the problem sorted.

I don't use Facebook or Snapchat, I know those apps are really tough on the ram, so I stay away from those. I don't install apps that aren't from the play store. The weird part is I've installed the same apps from my pixel 2xl. I don't install alot of apps to begin with. Ive researched people having issues with the Android messages app and there is a Google forum for this issue, however I installed Textra and I still see the issue just not as bad. During the last reset, I took days to install flamingo for Twitterand Instagram because I suspected them being the issue. Yesterday, I installed them and I started facing the issue. I uninstalled those 2 apps but the issue persisted. Now, it could be those apps but to me it would be a widespread issue if it we're those 2.
List of apps
Most Google apps. Gmail, maps etc
Instagram
Backdrops
Flamingo for Twitter
Navy Federal
Wells Fargo
Vanguard
Ally
Vip access
Hbo now
Netflix
Showtime
ESPN
Relay for Reddit
Nova launcher

I still believe that because you experience this same issue across two different phones, it is something in your personal setup. No abnormal indications under battery usage or data usage (background or foreground)? As suggested earlier try running in safe mode for an extended period. If the problem is gone, you just work your way through the suspect apps until you find the offending one. You can also try resetting all app settings under System>>Reset options before resorting to a clean flash.

Think Nova launcher. Back it up, uninstall it completely, then see how it goes.
I agree has to be a user app, my 3xl doesn't exhibit this issue. My crappy banking app does this but its very poorly optimized. App devs need to catch up to 9.0

I uninstalled Nova Launcher and did see a slight improvement. The issue came back a few days later though.
What about safe mode?

It's not Nova Launcher. You mention slow picture access so I would be looking at apps in that direction. Any apps consistently FC more than others? Do you use cloud backup for Photos? Do you have any super large photo speres, panos, or RAW photos on your phone?
Edit: another thought would be to run a quick check on the non-Googly apps for "last updated" timestamp on the Play Store. You may be running an older app that hasn't been updated in years and is written with an outdated API.

The only apps force closing more than others are Android messages, flamingo for Twitter, and Instagram. It will start with Android messages, which causes the device to slow down, then the other apps follow by force closing. The device always seems to hang/lag when a group message is coming in. I only back up through Google photos on wifi. I combed through the settings and nothing stands out that could be causing the phone to force close these apps. For now, safe mode has the device working normal.
