[Q] System UI has stopped working

Hi guys,
I'm new to this forum. My HTC Desire 300 is not rooted in anyway. Lately I've been experiencing problems with the System UI. It suddenly stopped working one day, and from then on, the notification bar never worked properly again. It comes back at random times, but even trying to pull it down will make it crash. Swiping a notification away and even just doing nothing to it will cause it to crash. I don't know why this is happening. I've tried factory reset, hard reset, battery pull, booting in safe mode, scanning for viruses, literally everything I can. Nothing works. Booting the phone up will show the error message and sometimes the error message will come up every few seconds then eventually stop and I never see it again until I restart the phone or shut it down and turn back on. Can somebody please help? I'm running 4.1.2 Jelly Bean.

I know that this in not best solution but you could try factory reset. You'll lose all of your data but you mobile should work normally.
Right now I have problem with Bluetooth and planing on doing same thing (or maybe try different ROM ).

I wish I could fix it by factory reset, but I've literally done it like 5 times. Nothing works. I still get the same error. I've also tried clearing the cache for system UI app in the "all apps" list, but there is no data on the System UI app, it says 0.00B. I can't clear any cache or data. And I also notice that sometimes System UI app will run in the "running apps" list, but it is "restarting", and it seems like it fails to restart because it is always restarting.

How can I fix my ROM? My phone is not rooted and I have never modded it and installed any ROMs on it. Right now I'm just using 2 notification apps on the Play Store so that I get some sort of notification. But it's just not the same as the notification bar itself. I'm tempted to buy another phone, but when I was looking this problem up on the Internet, it seems like many phones, even the new and good ones get the same problem. So I'm really hesitating.

Did you try to do factory reset from Android or boot loader? Maybe other reset will do the trick.

Uhm what do you mean by bootloader? I think I've attempted to unlock my bootloader but I never actually did it. So I don't think I unlocked my bootloader. But I don't know how to factory reset by bootloader or by other ways that you are talking about. The way I do the factory reset is through my phone's system settings > Backup & reset > Reset phone. I've also tried hard reset.

I mean from default recovery not bootloader. Sorry, my bad.

Wifi doesn't work please help

HI, a few days ago I ran into problems with wifi on my 551ML (4GB).
my phone works fine without wifi.
but, when I turn on the wifi the phone goes crazy!
when wifi is on the settings screen shows "turning on wifi" and the toggle switch is stuck.
and worst of all the phone reboots about every 30 seconds!
It is importent to note that the wifi worked fine since I got the phone and that the problems started recently.
I tried wiping cache/data, factory reset, updating to latest version, downgrading to .12 and nothing helped!
what shoulk

Although you have already tried this, recommend updating firmware to latest version then after firmware is applied, perform a hardware reset including wipe cache partition.
For hardware reset/wipe cache partition instructions please see the following: http://www.asus.com/us/support/FAQ/1011956/
If problem continues, suspect it's a hardware issue. Please feel free to contact me direct at [email protected] and we will issue RMA if necessary.
Sincerely,

I'm having exactly the same problem. I have also tried factory reset, downgrading firmware, wiping cache partition.. but nothing helping..me..
This problem started after the latest system updates.. does anyone have a solution for this.. plzzz....

Unexpected Reboots

Hello,
It seems that my G925T has some problems with soft reboots. I don't know exactly what the problem might be, maybe you can help me troubleshot.
So I have followed up all the things a normal user might do like:
soft reset, hard reset, odin stock rom flashing, smart switch disaster recovery, disabling certain apps, going to safe mode, cleaning cache, resetting cache and dalvik, but nothing. Flashing a different custom rom, custom kernel but still problem remains.
Even after following up with all these steps, my phone still reboots unexpectedly while I use it and even i don't use it. An average is that my phone gets these unexpected reboots like everyday. Maybe 3 time a day, or maybe next day. It seems like soft reboot.
For an some addition information my phone is IMEI repair, but everything is fine, i can get updates as i am currently on the official stock ROM.
Currently I am on latest update DOJC.
What do you think it might be the problem ?
Has soft reboots to do with IMEI repair ?
Is there anyway i can troubleshot this ?

HTC M8 - EE UK - systemui stopped working after factory reset

Hi everyone,
Looking for a solution to my stock, unrooted M8. Carrier - EE.
Android 6.0/Sense 7.0. Software 6.12.61.4
Have had the phone nearly two years so undertook a factory reset to clear it out. Initiated factory reset through settings in the normal UI.
Factory reset completed. Got the welcome screen etc. However, no nav bar, no status bar (with clock, battery at top), and no notification pull-down. Black screen (no default wallpaper), but all standard apps present.
Attempted factory reset again from bootloader. This time, as soon as it booted to the home screen, I got the error com.android.systemui has stopped unexpectedly. Regardless of whether I pressed "send" or "don't send" error report to HTC, the error message disappears and it begins to flash between a black screen and the default sense 7.0 wallpaper - but no sign of apps, icons, etc. The power button is responsive and displays the power off/restart options.
Reset a third time from stock recovery menu. Same result. Have also tried clearing cache, etc.
Weirdly, it optimises what I take to be a number of default apps each time during the factory reset - don't know if that's normal or not.
I'm assuming that my copy of the OS in the recovery partition has got buggered up somehow. But I'm new to this whole flashing/rooting business and most of the guides I've found seem to presuppose that I'm trying to get back to stock from having rooted my phone and installed something else, and I don't really understand them.
So -
1. any ideas about what's happened/how to fix it? I've spoken with HTC but they want me to send it in. 2-3 weeks!
2. assuming that I just need to reinstall a clean version of the software, how do I go about doing that? How do I know what the right version is, and where do I get it? Can I reinstall it without rooting the phone and installing a custom bootloader?
I did have a hunt through previous threads. The closest I found was this one http://forum.xda-developers.com/htc-one-m8/help/ui-htc-one-m8-t3024485 but it still leaves me uncertain about how to find the right software and actually install it.
Thanks very much in advance.
Michael

Okay, solved - somehow.
Formatted and removed SD card, just in case. Factory reset again, no joy.
Then also removed sim card, and factory reset again from stock recovery. This time performed cache wipe immediately before factory reset - whereas before I'd wiped cache, restarted, confirmed error still present, then factory reset as a second step.
Systemui and nav/status/pull-down bars all present as normal this time.
I find it hard to believe that the presence of the sim card could have made a difference, so I assume that the cache wipe and then immediate restart did the job.
Anyway, resolved now. Happy days.

Question Soft Reboots After Every Reboot [SOLVED]

EDIT: Apparently this was a result of using the wrong setting for enabling hotspot in PropsConfig. Because all that stuff was set during bootup, deleting apps wouldn't change the situation. Setting worked fine on my Pixel XL, but not here. Changed the setting and all is well.
--------------------------
So, this is a weird issue I was curious about and may have missed on my searching. Every time I reboot the phone, when I got to log in it immediately follows up with a soft reboot. It's been happening for a while, and I'm not sure the source of the issue.
Running stock 12 ROM and rooted, but I disabled SU, modules, and Nova and am still running into the issue.

Might be quicker and easier to back up your required files and just factory reset.

*sigh* I kinda made this post to avoid that step.

I know, it's just that it sounds like you've already disabled some things that could be causing it, which hasn't helped. If it was me, with something like constant reboots, I'd want to start fresh just to make sure they are eliminated for good

I've seen reports of "random" (=not intentional) reboots after
+ booting up the phone
+ using the FP scanner
+ making videos or shooting photo
+ doing a firmware update (I've seen both reports of ppl that "officially" OTAed & used manual flashing)
+ doing nothing
+ doing something
Some were able to fix their issues by factory resetting, some needed replacement devices. Some reported that even after a factory reset, the issue still persisted, but they were able to fix it by NOT using a backup via cable, some reported that even the Google Drive backup "corrupted" their phone (fix after setting up everything by hand from scratch). Some even reported their issues to get fixed via a software update.
So it seems to be connected to hardware (= replacement device) and/or software simultaneously (=fix via reset).
Strange this is since there are also numerous reports of Samsung owners that upgraded to A12 about random reboots. So it might even be something Android 12 related, or it's just Samsung also implementing similar bugs without it being A12 related (unlikely, since the reports seem to be centered around people using the new A12 update).
I also had the random reboot problem (~ 6 times a day, when doing nothing, it just rebooted when the phone layed on the table in idle). I wasn't able to fix it via a reset, so I got a replacement device.
I also have the "random" reboot problem on my Pixel 3 since upgrading to Android 12 (never had any issues all the years I've been using that phone), so that issue is clearly caused by A12, but I haven't troubleshot it/ tried to solve it, since I don't actively use the phone currently.
Aside from trying a factory reset and minding the backup issue (especially backups that you got from phones that did NOT have Android 12), there is not much more that you can do (ofc you could also use the Pixel repair/android flash tool to do a "clean" install of Android on your phone). Next step would be to contact Google.
