Some background info would be nice.

yeah I had this same problem when i was on an earlier version of CM experimental build, the problem for me was that it would do what i would call a soft reboot, where the android loading screen would appear and load for a couple seconds then go back to the home screen.
I found this problem out in the browser when i was trying to go back to the prvious pagr it would "reset" I dont know the cause but maybe you should get a Log of the error or when this happens and post it here or send to Cyanogen

Yeah some more background information would help us assit you with the issue. If possible create a signature with information about the ROM you use and any settings.

haha easy, my phone is.....unchanged at all

i think he means "all your versions belong to us" or "Has anyone really been far even as decided to use even go want to do look more like?"
seriously though no one is going to help you if you don't want to tell us any background info, and if you don't want to, then why make a thread to begin with.

i didnt mean to be a smart a** what i meant by that was everything is how the phone comes out of the box, no rooting, no roms, no nothing, sorry if i came off the wrong way
well here it goes..
firmware 1.5

Flash Only Thing Not Working After 2.2

Hey, I installed 2.2 according to instructions. Everything from 2.2 works except for flash. Every time I boot up the phone the first message I get says "Sorry! Process system is not responding" and I have the option to force close or wait. Can anyone help me?

Did you install Flash?

Thank you! Man I feel stupid. I thought it came pre-installed and saw no one talking about downloading it. Any idea why I'm getting an error message on start up? Or is it normal?

That's not happening on mine, so I'd say it's not normal.
Side note...what website are you guys trying to test out Flash?

^ isnt that the message you get when you try and do crap with the phone before it has finished booting all the way up?
I played some games on armor games... it was okay. Flash is still in beta and I dont think its hardware accelerated yet (like some others are saying)

Try miniclip.com, you can play the games that were previewed on the video from adobe plus loads more.

I've rebooted it a few times and left it alone and I still get the message. I've also tried repeating the installation steps and that didn't fix it either. If I click force close or wait the phone continues to work and it doesn't pop up again, but it's a bit annoying.

I watched top ten plays on ESPN.com and I was really impressed

[Q] Need Help. "android.process.acore FC"

Hey guys last week my phone has been starting to act real buggy and I began to get a FC saying android.process.acore has stopped unexpectedly. Has anyone experienced a similar issue as this? The phone has completely stopped working and I can't do anything on it. I've tried a hard reset, soft reset, reloading 2.1 and practically everything else. Any help would be greatly appreciated thank you!

When you say the phone completely stopped working, what do you mean? You can't even power it on? Or it comes on but just won't make calls, send texts, etc? Provide us with some more details please. Are you rooted? If so, what ROM were you using? etc. etc.
Also, did you install any new apps lately? Some cases of this FC error have to do with an installed app that is malfunctioning, and simply uninstalling the troubled app, then rebooting, will solve this.

I am having the same trouble, but my phone started by saying that I was running out of space, though I hadn't installed anything new. I am thinking it is with the latest Facebook update. The battery runs out fast and the phone has filled up and now it's crashing.
I think I am going to uninstall the FB update and see how that goes.

The newest Facebook version does drain the battery really fast -- it basically prevents the phone from sleeping. See this post on how to fix it: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=7572716&postcount=948
Or of course, just totally uninstalling FB would fix that too

Well I keep getting that error everytime I FC it and it prevents me from doing anything. The touch screen won't work at all either. I was rooted running PureHero but I just flashed 2.1 back on it (the official one from Sprint) and the problem still existed. I did a hard reset and the phone continues to show this message even without any apps installed.

Wow, that seems strange then. If it's doing this on just plain stock without any apps installed then it sounds like it could just be something defective with the phone itself. I would say re-run the official stock 2.1 RUU from Sprint (to remove Root) and then take it back to a Sprint store and see if they will replace your phone.

Right I've tried putting the 2.1 on again and again but the same problem. And I went to the Sprint store to ask about it and apparently I have water damage so they didn't do anything... I guess im SOL with no insurance...

Lol ya. I'm gonna give Sprint a call and see if they can do anything, but my mom's line is ready for an upgrade so I'll probably get the Epic 4g from her line and buy her a BB or Pixi.

Password wanted by TWRP and I rooted my phone with Click To Root

Password wanted by TWRP and I rooted my phone with Click To Root, I never gave them a password and when I try to do a Factory reset their screen comes up. to wipe, restore, and other utilities such as that. As far as the pass word goes I cant remember that and don't ever put one in just for this reason. Click to root support sucks because if I want to chat with an analyst it cost like $34.00 and they have a email support which I have heard nothing back from. also my screen is saying I have an available system update, I don't know if this has anything to do with the password?

This is why those one click root apps are not suggested! There's a way to fix this but why should I take the place of click to root and do it free?!

Wow why do you even bother to reply to my post? I mean really????????????????? And BTW I fixed it myself no thanks to you!

I was able to fix it by reading through some intelligent post from people that actually like to help people

An intelligent person wouldn't have used a 1 click root because they'd know how to do it the real way unlike you. Don't come back in with your little butt hurt self trying to be all keyboard warrior like towards me when you're the idiot that caused your own problem then comes running here for help instead of reading around first or learning how to unlock it the real way and I bet you think the fact that 1 click finally answered your e-mail is "intelligent people response" lmao... Keep trolling keyboard warrior! You sure made my morning funny!

UNKNOWN SOURCES keep's turning itself off...? Anyway to make it stay enabled?

Not sure why, but a friend has a S8+ tmobile and the install from unknown sources ALWAYS turns itself back to OFF....? Is there some trick to making it stay enabled?

I'm pretty sure it's happening to everyone. Feel like it's their way of saying repeatedly that they would rather you not sideload apps that you probably got for free instead of paying haha. I've done research on this as well as its more of an annoyance. Most likely will have to wait for root

Yep happens on mine also

Yup, here too. Waiting for root sucks! Hopefully something will be verified soon. You guys should really google "SM-N950U root and you'll find a slew of root methods, I'm just too scared to try them. I wish they would just say error and nothing happens rather than have the potential to brick your phone. Oh well, waiting it is.

Trust me, as a dev myself, you dont want to listen to those. They have been tried already. And if they worked, it would be posted all over here as all the s8's on each carrier are the same phone. We are all working diligently to figure it out.
Except me right now. I'm at the doctor refilling my adderall so I can binge work on it all weekend hah

Haha yup I hear you. Thanks for your help on this. Keep healthy bro!

Well I'm sorry the unknown sources not sticking is a real thing... but I'm glad its not just her phone. I was convinced something was wrong and almost reflashed the firmware just because.... but it's obviously that way for whatever the reason. You just have to turn it on before each install I suppose. No big deal.
As for root, the eng boot was leaked or developed or whatever you want to call it... bottom line its in the wild now, so I think sooner rather than later there will be at least a eng boot type of root. Nothing compares to a real unlocked bootloader. *IF* I get a Samsung again, it will be the Exynos ###F model with a unlocked bootloader... But I'm a flashaholic....... otherwise ROOTING is becoming like jailbreaking is for the iPhone (non-existent).... at least for us USA owners anyway

I had this issue at first. This is my first Samsung phone since the Note 3. I thought it was something to do with KNOX. But after a week, I reset my phone, set it up as usual. And now the unknown stays. I can't recall what I did different, but I know wiping it did something.

It's a bug. Should be corrected with a future update.

From what I've done, I believe it's actually Google turning it back on with the feature in settings, verify apps. Just turn it off and it shouldn't turn off the untrusted sources anymore. Since turning it off, I haven't had issues

I think that did the trick for me. I had thought I already turned that off but it came back. Once I disabled that though my unknown sources has stayed at least for a few hours now and through me installing some stuff.
EDIT: there it goes back off again! doesn't seem to be anything we can do

How were you able to change the navigation bar icon colors from the default white to green on your sm-N950?

I have turned ON "UNKNOWN SOURCES" on my phone 2-3 days ago and it is still on.

Anyone still having this problem?

What about the built in security app lookout, I have that and the google play verify off and have never had the developer option turn its self off I think it may be that app blocking harmful apps that we want to sideload by keeping that turned off maybe lol:good::highfive::goodI have had mine on since about mid sept. when i got the phone)
