Can't access developer mode - Galaxy S 4 Mini Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi guys, I'm just a begginer here. Rooted my phone just today, so please be patient with me.
Going direct to the point: I can access settings normally, but when I tap into Developer options the settings app crashes, and a message appears with the saying: "Settings stopped working".
Also, all the other google service apps are not working (google books, google movies...). Google Play Store wasn't working too, but after reinstalling, the issue was fixed. I had the "System UID's are inconsistent" but solved it as well.
What can I do? I've cleared all cache, including dalvik. Will resetting it to factory fix it? I really don't want to lose all my data. Please help me, I'm hopeless
EDIT: I forgot to say that I want to access it to do USB debugging in order to restore some lost data through FonePaw Android Data Recovery.

Deselect the 'Mount namespace separation' in supersu. And then reboot and try again.

Google account problem

Hi all,
I'm using HTC wildfire s CM10 with android 4.2.1 ( http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1987671&page=26 ). And i have big problem. I install it and all was OK until i download from google play market some game. When i download and install it, the phone reboot itself. And problems start... I go in recovery -> wipe data/factory reset, wipe cache patrition, wipe dalvik, wipe battery stats and install the rom again. All ok for now. Phone start and still all ok until i log in with google account. Open google play market and type acc and password and loading and "drop" me from google play without saying "google play market has stop worked" only back me in menu. I try a lot of times, but with no success. I try with settings -> add account. And still the same... Type account and password and waiting and again back me this time in settings againt without some message like "something has stop working". I try to reinstall the rom (about 10 times) and still no success... Please help me...
I write here, because i'm new and i can't write in developer section. Thanks a lot.
P.S. Sorry for bad English...
P.S. I delete data and cache on google play market, but no success again.

Open the "Google Play" app and press the home button to return
Go to Settings → Applications → Manage Applications
Select the "ALL" tab, Search for "Google Play Store" and press it to open.
Press "Clear cache"
Press "Force stop"
Return to Settings → Applications → Manage Applications
Press "Google Services Framework"
Press "Clear Data"
Press "Force Stop"
Start "Google Play Store" and it should give an error
Reboot.
Once your device has restarted Google Play Store should work. Wait a minute or too if it doesn't.
This should help if a corrupt cache is the cause of your problems (a corrupt cache might lead to strange error messages, amongst others). If it doesn't help, you might try the same steps but include "Clear Data" for the playstore app.
I too facing this problem
Tried al steps but no luck
Still same error

I just started having this problem.
Tried all steps, did not work.
Tried factory reset, did not work.
Phone is an LG-LS970 stock, never been rooted or had any ROM installed. Phone is the same rom and such as when bought from the store.
What can I do now to fix this?
[edit] Also wanted to add that all the Gapps are unable to be deleted as there is no option to do that. The Delete option that is on apps that I install is not even present on the pre-installed apps.
[edit 2] Wow, such empty. I was told I could get help for this problem here. Guess my friend was wrong.

Can't turn off Google Now [SOLVED]

As the title said for some reason I cannot turn off Google now today. Never had this problem in the past.
It just gives this toast message (see attachment as well):
"Failed to turn off cards due to a network error. Please check your network connection and try again."
Has anyone come across this before?
EDIT:
Clearing data for "Google Framework Services" and "Google Search" reset "Google Now".
Have you rebooted your phone and tried again?

*nods* of course.
Unfortunately not too many things I can explore with this unit. It's a stock SCH-i515 on 4.1.1.
im also having exact problem with exact phone..
hope someone can help too
Same problem, saw Maps app was chewing up battery after turning it on and now it won't go off
Using a CM10.1 build on Infuse... Grrrrr
I did a catlog dump, I believe this is the relevant error:
W/Velvet.VelvetNetworkClient( 1814): Network error: com.google.android.searchcommon.util.HttpHelper$HttpException: 500 Internal Server Error
Can you turn it off when connected to wifi?
Can you turn it off after disabling sync?
I'm just trying to think what I would do in that situation, sorry if I am no help.
Just some suggestions:
If possible clear Google service framework and then try freezing Google search.
Also deleting your google account and then setting it back up could be tried

Found a solution based on your prodding.
Load up TI Backup Manager:
-Backup/Restore Tab
-Tap Google Services Framework - Wipe Data - Yes [This step might be optional, doing just this step didn't fix it, but the next step did, so next step may be only necessary one.
-Tap Google Search - Wipe Data - Yes
-Reboot [Recommended]
Now you should be back at square one like you never enabled Google Now
Don't forget to thank the noob!

I think you may be right in that clearing data for Google Search is the only step necessary.
I had cleared data for Google Services Framework before and it didn't do anything, but after doing that and clearing data for Google Search, Google Now was indeed off.
Since this is a stock unit I didn't clear data through TI Backup Manager, but just from the plain old apps list.
I hope Google fixes whatever causes this error.
Thanks!
Nice.:good: OP you might want to edit your thread and put a [resolved] in there so other people having this problem can spot the fix easier.

Google account mysteriously disappeared from Accounts & sync, can't add it back

HTC One M8, Android version 4.4.3, HTC Sense version 6.0, Software number 2.23.841.1
I hope somebody can help me out with this issue.
Today I tried to enter the Gmail app as usual, but it displayed an "Add a Google Account" option and asked if I want to create an existing or new Google account. I backed out and tried Google+, and got the same popup. Weird as I've had a Google account since I first set the phone up.
I went into "Settings > Accounts & sync" and discovered there was no "Google" account under "Manage accounts". Very odd. So I tried re-adding my existing Google account, and it seemed to add the entry back under "Accounts & sync". But after this, any time I tried to enter Gmail or Google+, I would get an error message:
"Unfortunately, Google account manager has stopped."
I decided to play it safe and do HTC backup, factory reset, then restore from HTC backup afterwards. Upon restore, it found my Google account again, and for a few hours everything seemed fine, and I could access Gmail and Google+ without any issues.
About 5 hours later I tried to enter Gmail again, and got the "Add a Google Account" popup again. When I checked "Settings > Accounts & sync", my Google account entry was gone again. Wtf!
I had not installed any new apps or changed any phone settings for a week or so before this happened - it was completely out of the blue. I do have auto-update enabled however.
At this point I have no idea how I can fix this issue, as a factory reset hasn't solved the problem, and my Google account in "Accounts & sync" keeps disappearing after a while. When I try and add it again, I start getting this error again on opening Gmail/Google+:
"Unfortunately, Google account manager has stopped."
The only thing I can think of is that a bad software update has been rolled out by Google, and is installing after a short while on my phone and nuking my Google account, but I have no idea where to go from here.
Has anyone experienced a similar issue or perhaps knows how I can fix this? Thanks for your help!
tl;dr I'm seeing a sudden problem where my Google account is inexplicably disappearing from my "Accounts & sync" section, and a factory reset doesn't resolve the issue.

Thank you for the quick reply! I tried this the first time around (before doing a factory reset) but I was still getting the "Unfortunately Google account manager has stopped" error. Just to make sure I performed the steps correctly, I should:
- Go into Settings > Apps > All
- Under the app pages for "Gmail", "Google Account Manager" and "Google Services Framework" I should press "Clear cache" and "Clear data"
Interestingly before I saw this reply, I decided to do another factory reset + restore. This time when the google account disappeared, I readded it back manually (specifying I had an existing account) and it appears to be syncing and working correctly now.
Perhaps I missed a step the first time around in clearing the cache and data? Thanks again.

I do know for a fact that Google is having server issues today. The problem should solve itself in a little time.
I'm getting a "sync is currently experiencing problems" message on my phone, and hangouts was having problems loading on my pc with a message about server problems.
EDIT: looks like it's working again for you, but not me yet. lol
I'm sure a reboot will hook me up again.

About 24 hours after posting this reply, it actually exhibited the same behaviour again: My Google account disappeared from "Settings > Accounts & sync" and it asks me for a google account (or gives an error about Google Account Manager) when I try and open Gmail/Calendar/Hangouts/Google+. Pretty frustrating! I'm not going to bother factory resetting the phone again as that clearly didn't fix the issue... fingers crossed it's a Google server problem they're resolving.

Backup non-rooted LG G4 stuck in "UI stopped working" loop

Hello everyone,
Yesterday, after I tried to charge my LG G4, it stopped booting properly: it seems to boot "normally" under the hood, except that the system UI is not properly loading so instead I get a black screen and a message "Unfortunately system UI stopped working". If I click "ok", it comes back within two seconds (the screen stays black apart from the error message). I cannot do anything, like unlock the phone or access anything on it, despite the fact that I can hear notifications coming in.
Unfortunately phone is not rooted, developper mode isn't enabled, and I don't have a custom recovery. I would do a factory reset if it weren't for my Google Authenticator codes, some of which I haven't properly backed up like an idiot. Thus I was wondering what I could do to back up my phone or solve the issue.
Here is what I've already tried:
Press down VOLUME DOWN + POWER to enter recovery mode, but since I don't have custom recovery this only gives me the option to do a hard factory reset and lose all my data.
Use adb commands to access my phone, but I get "unauthorized device" because I haven't enabled developper tools on the phone.
Use the app "LG Bridge" on my mac, but it also doesn't work for the above reason.
I see three possibilities, but I don't know whether any is genuinely doable:
Solve the issue of the error message, which from what I've read requires me to wipe the cache. But how to do that without custom recovery?
Somehow bypass the UI to unlock the phone and unable developer tools
Manage to backup the phone from my computer while its locked without developper tools enabled.
Note that obviously this is my phone, I know my passwords, I have access to my Google account, etc.
Any help would be greatly appreciated, without my Google Authenticator data I'll be locked out of an important email account.

Well at least you can backup your phone in download mode with SALT ( https://bit.do/SALTatXDA ) but restoring is another story.

Thanks a lot for your reply! I'll try backing up with SALT tonight. There are two things I'm wondering:
How do you think I could extra data from the backup?
Will I be able to wipe the cache or enable usb debugging with SALT? That might solve the issue.

You can mount the userdata partition on Linux (e.g in FWUL) and then browse through it like it's on your phone.
You can wipe the cache paetition in SALT yes. It's in the advanced menu there (erase partitions -> select cache and only that). It will not wipe the dalvik cache though.
I dunno about the USB debugging though. Maybe there is a way but if so you would need a very unrestricted download mode (depends on model and firmware). And the whole process is not easy.
It requires again SALT and there you have in the advanced menu the option to open a shell.
Here you can mount userdata with
mount /data
But it's usually mounted already. Then it's a try and error. You could e. G. try to delete the dalvik cache etc.

Hi!
I've found out that the Google Auth keys are in /data/data/com.google.android.apps.authenticator2/databases/databases. So I need to backup /data/. However, when I show the list of partitions with SALT, I don't see /data/. Is there a way to backup /data/ on my unrooted device?
Secondly, I haven't managed to wipe the dalvik cache with the command shell, would you be able to point me in the right direction?
Thank you so much!
