1) I want to freeze the mobile hotspot app with titanium backup, but can't find it listed. I never use it but its constantly running itself. I assume its listed as something else? Or packaged into another app? And would freezing it cause other apps/services to fail/fc?
2) does anyone else have a problem with pressing a physical keyboard button and it causes several of the pressed letter to appear?

I don't believe anyone has found where to freeze the hot spot app.

With the second problem, just get a warranty claim.

Anyone have this issue or know how to fix it. When I try to open up contacts it will send me back to the home screen and says "aab initializing" Never seen this before in any android so I'm kinda lost. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Nevermind got it. It was caused by freezing the att apps.

Which AT&T app did you need to unfreeze to get contacts to work again?
I'm betting it was contact sync. I used to close that service all the time cause I didn't care if my contacts were being backed up by ATT. Turns out it was controlling my entire contact app.
Yeah it was the contact sync, if I remember correctly. Been so long since I was on the stock rom can't say for sure.

Guys ive recently purchased my bionic on swappa. There is absolutely nothing wrong with the phone and it was never rooted. I updated it to the most recent update ota. After that i rooted it manually....that was two days ago. Im running stock and just removed a few apps. Today i tried to add a contact and it force closed. So i went to my contacts but when i press the little "+" button it says contact storage force closed again. I have no idea why. I tried using root explorer to change its permissions but it still force closed. And i know i didnt remove something i wasnt suppose to. I cant find how to fix this anywhere. Can someone help me out? Thanks

What apps did you remove? I'm guessing you removed some Motorola apps.

Did you remove or freeze the Yahoo contacts apps? For some reason the Bionic contacts app breaks if you remove those.

I only removed things like device setup and help center or social messaging. When i googled how to fix this the yahoo stuff came up but i didnt freeze that. I unfroze everything and rebooted but nothing....

There is an issue with the Google plus app that causes that.
Uninstall it, restart your phone, then download from the market again.
That should fix it.
Is anyone else receiving touch Wiz issues??? clearly not a root or room issue. .
What were you doing when it crashed

Reboot the phone and see if it helps. If not hit a factory reset before you get to involved with it.

I think I figured out my problem. It was fancy widgets and Pandora with unlimited skip causing problems. Uninstalled and all is good..... I'll try to reinstall
blah still having this problem. Im using helium backup right now and will do a factory reset. touchwiz always crashes when i download and install a new app from the playstore. is anyone else having this problem?
It started yesterday. The biggest changes I can think of are
1. adding Gear Manager and connecting Gear 2 Neo to it which happened one week ago. No issues till now
2. putting in and taking out a microSD card. Shortly after this action, the random reboots started. I don't think I messed up the related hardware. I did it carefully, not forcing anything. I even shut down the device and popping the battery before inserting and removing the microSD.
I'm scratching my head what could have triggered the random reboots. I have shut down Bluetooth to trouble-shoot what is causing the random reboots. Any insight is greatly appreciated. Thanks
What firmware are you on? Are you rooted? Have you tried another sd card? Maybe try a factory reset

It is possible that the power button is failing.

I believe it is in gravity box. But it is possible that wanam has that feature as well.

My Note 3 isn't rooted. It's running stock KitKat. It doesn't have a microSD. I put one in to copy files and took it out right away. I don't know if it was a coincident. The reboots started shortly after I put in and took out the microSD. I think it's more a coincident because I was super careful with the microSD slot.
I just did a reset. I'll observe if reboots happen again.
I know it sounds crazy but try going into Settings>Wifi>Advanced and unchecking "Always Allow Scanning". Once I used a SD in it and have that checked my phone randomly reboots no matter what ROM or MODs I use and I have met other people on here that have had the same issue and unchecking that setting fixed it. Something about the way some SD cards work and that setting not playing nice with each other. Hope this helps you, I know it nearly drove me mad until someone suggested I try unchecking it.
I did a reset and restored my all apps backed up by Helium. I got random reboots still. But may be because I also restored Gear Manager and its associated plugins and apps, I was still getting random reboots. I have reset again and restored all my apps without the Gear Manager etc. So far it's been 20 hours, no random reboots. I'll observe some more. I just have the feeling Gear Manager etc have something to do with the reboots.
@zacharyt86: I'll remember your tip too. Thanks
My N3 used to do that a lot so i rooted the phone and now i have no issues. I did have issues with some roms and when i was using a rom slot on ss but no issues on the stock slot.
Im on JB though but my note had the same issue. I think its a memory issue... I was also using a cache cleaner then that i just havent used since i changed roms
Ya think it just could be one if those weird things I see others having issues that I'm not having if it keeps doing it I would call Samsung or take it back to att

Root alone does nothing. All it does is allow administrative access to everything.

Google or the search function will answer your question.
Highjacking a thread will not.

It's been 60+ hours. No reboots. I'm inclining to conclude it's Gear Manager and its associated plugins and apps that caused the reboots. I'll install Gear Manager again, not install any Gear app, just connect phone calling and default notifications, i.e.all default stuff. Will report back.

I've been getting stupid pop up ads on my phone for the last week or so. I read that on 4.2+ I can long press on the ad and it'll tell me which app is causing this but it's not working for me. I'm using Dodol launcher; could that be why? I've also tried TrustGo Ad Detector and it doesn't tell me squat. How do I find out exactly which app is causing these ads so I can get rid of it?
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G900A using XDA Free mobile app
Is there anything in the notification window when these ads popup? Do you have a screen shot?
I ask because there seems to be two different kinds of ads: those who have a notification and those who don't. With the first kind, you can just do what you said and kill the app's notifications. If it's the second kind, you will have to uninstall anything that may be causing it until it goes away.
My wife used my old S3 for a while and was plagued by this problem. I had never seen it before, but she had a few shopping apps that I don't use.

There's nothing in the notification bar. The really sucky part is that I downloaded quite a few new apps and now I have to get rid off most of them just to be sure.
