Every time I try to open the notification log widget/shortcut on my home screen, it crashes settings. I have not gotten this to work since discovering it's existence a few months ago and cannot find a fix. Can anyone help?
Very odd. if youre not afraid of factory resets, i say back it up and wipe that thing clean!
If it still persist, try and flash a factory image, if not the latest one then on that you recall that worked.
If rooted, be cautious of trying to restore app/app data with titanium, this causes all sorts of weird problems most of the time, and has been the source of many problems in the forums.

Hi,
First off, apologies if this doesn't belong here, getting confused as to where things should go, can someone move it if it's in the wrong place please.
I have Flashed the LeeDrOiD v2.2d ROM and when accessing the Stock browser it will randomly crash, it's a strange crash because normally a crash will mean that you will exit from the browser and next time it will load to the homepage, on mine though it will sort of crash but then load the page I was on, even if it wasn't my homepage, if I had any tabs open I would also lose all of those, which is how I know it's crashing.
This isn't specific to this version of the ROM though as I've had this since v1.4 or to any ROM because I've Flashed 3 different other ROM's (2 Sense and 1 Stock) and this still happens. I've asked before in the XDA LeeDrOiD thread and they said it could be related to backing up and restoring data whilst moving from Android 2.1 to 2.2.
What I have done this time though is not backup anything, no SMS, no system settings, nothing! I deleted everything off my SD Card, cleared the cache, then cleared the Dalvik cache, did a factory reset, Flashed the ROM and then Flashed the radio but still this problem exists, I haven't backed up anything this time, even created a new Google account so it didn't sync my contacts.
There's no particular website that does it, I've got the Flash setting to "On Demand", so that's not crashing it.
This is really starting to annoy me now but I can't figure out for the life of me why it happens, I've tried replicating it to narrow down the cause but I can make it happen one time doing it a certain way but then doing it that way again it'll be fine.
Has anyone got any ideas of how I can overcome this problem or how to Flash the ROM so that my browser will work correctly, this browser problem is the only problem I have with the ROM, apart from that it is superb.
To Flash the ROM I would do the following:
I go into the Recovery mode, wipe the Dalvik cache, then wipe the cache, do a Factory Reset and then Flash the Radio and then the ROM.
Isn't that supposed to completely wipe the phone and then anything Flashed from there is brand new, which is confusing if it is happening in different ROM's.
Also, the browser can crash whether I'm connected to a data plan/Wi-Fi or not!
Any help very much appreciated!
HTC Desire btw.
Anyone?
Someone must have an idea.

In a strange way that's good to know mate, at least it's not just me.
Hopefully there's a fix to this problem, finding the cause is hard enough though!
Well, I've managed to narrow it down as much as possible, seems to happen more when downloading from the Market or the Internet connection switches from 2g, H or to WiFi.
I personally think it has something to do with the cache, once it starts happening it happens alot, a restart later and it probably won't happen for most of the day, it's like something leaks and builds up and then crashes the browser with a restart resetting everything.
Anyone got any ideas?
I've recently been trying out ICS ROMs for the Evo, but decided to return to Gingerbread because ICS seems to mess up GPS accuracy, no matter which ROM I try. I'm now on my third different Gingerbread ROM today because I've run into a problem I've never seen before. When I first install I'm able to turn on WiFi and connect to my router no problem, but sometime later, the phone refuses to connect. In wireless settings you can turn on WiFi, and it will think about it for awhile, and then just stop trying. Sometimes I get a com.android.settings not responding message, but not always. Anyway, I tried searching for this but couldn't really even figure out how to word it. This sound familiar to anyone? Thanks.
Re-Install your Rom, first.
Update your Radios.
Simple.

Try what Nickitt said first, and if that doesn't work, try this out --
Go into recovery, clear boot, dalvik, and do a factory reset. Then, install a ROM of your choice.
For some odd reason, I started having similar WiFi issues on my EVO after installing the Mason kernel, where the WiFi would indicate that it's on for a few seconds, and then move back to the off position (or, it would stay permanently in the state where it seems like it's turning on). Reflashing the ROM by itself didn't work, but clearing boot somehow did the trick.
Go figure.

I failed to mention initially, but I did try updating the radios as well. Regardless, I'm not having the problem anymore, and it's possible that there was simply something in my Titanium backups (done while on ICS) that it didn't like. I started thinking back on the timing and realized that the issue was showing up only after I went through the batch restore process, so this time I only restored a few apps that had data I didn't want to lose, and nothing else. So far so good.
Except of course that I'm now having a new problem that may be associated with a2sd, but I'll post that in that Deck's Reloaded thread...
Thanks!
I had a lot of force closes after restoring ICS backups in GB. Don't think the backups are backwards compatable...not all the time anyway.
After performing a factory reset prior to installing a 4.2 ROM and then flashing said ROM, I discovered that the Google backup saved my contacts and such, but not my wifi passwords. This occasionally happens while wiping and flashing new ROMs, and is usually fixed by re-wiping and re-flashing. Then, upon first boot everything loads perfectly.
Problem is, I'm starting to get tired of this and I'm wondering why it does this and if there's any easier way to circumvent this problem other than the one I just explained, which is getting really annoying, tbh. Any help would be gladly appreciated.

Happened to me once as well. Next time, you could try removing and re-adding your Google account.
Tried this a few times and nothing happened. Any other ideas?

What about using Titanium Backup to save the wifi info? That's what I do, since my Google account won't save the wi fi info either
I've seen others with this issue, but no solutions to this extremely annoying problem. Any time I restart my phone, all defaults are forgotten. Launcher, internet, keyboard, everything. So I have to reselect my defaults only for it to happen next time I need to restart. Is there a fix to this problem?
I haven't heard of this problem before. Maybe try fixing permissions in recovery or something
Well I'm still stock. Haven't changed to clockwork recovery yet. But I tried wiping everything from recovery and starting fresh, and it still does it.
I went through from 4.1.1 to 4.1.2, no problems, phone ran fine after update. Then went to 4.3, same thing. The phone was running fine so I booted back into recovery and removed Knox as well as manually rerooted by flashing SuperSU. Rebooted after that and still no problems, phone was running great. I then make a backup so I have a restore point of stock 4.3, rooted, and without Knox. I then go on and try to flash Dandroid and get a status 7 error and the phone was acting up after I rebooted.
At this point I go back to my backup and simply restore it and reboot again. The phone boots up, so that's a good thing. The problem is the GApps will not run and it continuously has a pop-up notification. The phone is rendered unusable like this. I got lucky once and was able to try and launch ROM Manager to see if fixing permissions would work, but it also closed. I tried flashing a 4.3 GApps package with no success and even tried reflashing the 4.3 update but got a status 6 error.
I'm at a loss here, does anyone have any ideas on this?
Not sure if this will help much, but even when plugged in via USB my computer will not recognize the device. The S3 states that it is connected and it does show up in Device Manager, it just won't show up as any kind of readable memory.
Trying to ADB sideload a rooted stock 4.3 ROM now. Any advice at all would be a help.
EDIT: I took a video (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tJ-eaQ_9mVI) of the problem so everyone can see what I'm talking about and I also found a fix.
I'm not sure what was causing it, but after a solid day of researching it online the closest thing I got was resetting app preferences and also trying to clear any data of Google apps. This seemed to sometimes slow the popups down for me or create a longer gap before they just came right back in full force. So, going off that small success I had managed to navigate my way over to Settings -> Accounts -> Backup and reset -> Factory data reset and ran that. The first boot after that took a very long time, I'd say a solid twenty minutes but it did work. No more error and everything has been going smooth for me since. A restore of apps with Titanium Backup also did not bring the problem back up again, so the device seems to be good as new again.
I apologize if any of these is out of line, I just thought I would follow up with a solution in case anyone else has this problem and can't seem to fix it. Maybe this will help them.
