hello all.
Ok so long story short this it is a brand new samsung galaxy tab. I've had it for about a month or 2 it's completely stock no rooted no nothing. I press an application and nothing would happen. The tsblet just froze and wouldnt move so after a while, i hard rebooted and when it finally loaded, all my apps that i installed are gone.
The icons/shortcuts are still there but when i click them, they all say "application not installed"
What could it be? The tab is essentially brand new. ?..about 2 months or so.
Is my tablet going bad?
Oh and, the bloatware that came with the tablet ofcourse still work
Any ideas? Thanks in advanced

Have you tried a Factory Reset? Please note I don't remember where in stock firmware, Settings section it is located (also, you can do a Factory Reset through Stock Recovery). Your other alternative may be...welcoming a new firmware (i.e. Flashing a ROM) and see if the same happens.

Been happy with it since December. Had problems yesterday rebooting after removing battery - an application had frozen. Can't recall which one. Eventually got it to reboot, but all the home screens were wiped and a number of apps had simply gone. Some that were left insisted on force close. The ones I use mainly are OK up to a point but they usually don't remember that they have run before after sleep - so I have to go through all the terms of acceptance and redo the settings.
The 3 button combo no longer seems to work - although I never did try it with Froyo.
Help appreciated
Got 3 button combo to work eventually!
What firmware are you using?

I've reinstalled various apps and all is well now it seems. I remember what the app was that screwed things up. It was Samsung AccuWeather Clock. Had problems with it before. Don't know why I bothered trying it again - a foolish mistake I think!
check the lost file directories.. my guess is you have some dsk corruption.
hey guys, I don't know what's going on with my S7 but yesterday was working fine and out of nowhere everything started to FC! From twitter to "Google Services Framwork", Gmail, browser, tweetdeck, calendar, voice, I can't pretty much use it anymore, I haven't done any new app installations so i don't know what's wrong! is it just me, or anyone else having this problem??
Any help will be much appreciated!
Thanks
That has happened to me 4 or 5 times. It's like half of the device gets erased but the apps are there. Everything force closes. I end up having to erase the device and re-install everything. Reboot into recovery if you can't figure it out and format the system and data. For some reason when i do that, i keep root. Not entirely sure how that happens, but one less step for me. I think root is power and one of the volume buttons.

ha! i remember I already did that. After the Update we had, and I exchanged mine for a new one I decided to stay with no root (i don't know why! lol) so I guess I'll reset everything and go back to root I figured at the end I was gonna do that, but I was trying to see if it was just me or there was a fix
thanks man!
ok, so since yesterday I've been trying to factory reset the DS, and when it boots back on, everything stays the same!
I'm a little confused now, if I take a picture and I turn the tablet off, when I turn it back on, the picture disappears. Same thing happens if I move widgets, delete or create new ones on the screen, they go back to as the configuration was on friday night! GV not working, and the last message that shows there, same thing, shows the last one on friday. I don't know what can I do.... should I call dell??
duck tape and dynomite
stupid thing started crashing yesterday FC this and FC that ....cant restore it as i no longer have write access to the internal sd card
1) tried nv flash
2) tried restoring from clockwork
3) tried pushing files through adb
4) tried fastboot ....
if i didnt just dump money into this thing id blow it up ......
any help would be appreciated.......any tips to fix it or kill it completely so i can get another one
actually deleted all of the files on internal sd card and uninstalled every program on the device looked completly stock ....rebooted it and it went back to how it was yesterday ......theres gotta be a reason why other are having the same problem that started on the same day .....maybe dell pushed an OTA update and screwed us ......just a thought cause mine was fine till i went 4g yesterday so my sis could post facebook pics ....not sure but hope we can figure this out
Samething happened to me
Hi, did you ever find a solution? my streak 7 was ran out of battery, before it shut off, the screen started flickering and then it turned off. after it came back on, it looked like it was fine, everything looked normal, but then everything started force closing, haven't found a solution

I'm running stock, and I discovered the hard way that you can't let the S7 battery run all the way down. The S7 will not power itself down in time. I had the same issue, and the only way around it was to do a complete factory reset, using the menu button from the main screen. I think the reset is in the "About" section, but I don't have my S7 with me now.
Being used to WM6, which powers the device down at 5%, I was not expecting the device to do this, but there it is.
dell streak 7
im not sure if I am the only one with this issue you but becareful with the streak 7 mine well both of mine wont charge properly and the newest one wont charge at all. i have to send it back to dell for them to fix it. Im not sure what cause this but my only advie is to never use a different charger for it only dell chargers. Im guessing that it messes up the battery callibration and then it gets really hot when charging
Hi guys, i am kinda new here, hope i am on the right spot.
I recently bought a HTC One in the Netherlands. Its a beautiful phone! Already like it more then my rooted Xperia Z.
Today (The first day) i started installing my phone. Setted up some random things, untill i came at the Google account set-up. I already had one, so i chose that option. Then the first crash occured. The phone sent me to the screen i started 1 minute ago, the "Select language" screen.
I ignored that, and choose to set that up on an other moment.
When I tried to open Facebook, it showed me the logo, the logo moved up, but then it crashed and closed the application.
1 minute later, i tried to pull down the notification bar, but then my whole phone crashed! It rebooted.
I tried to update the phone software, didnt work. I also tried to do a hard reset, didnt work either.
The summary:
I cant set up an existing Google account, it crashes.
I cant open facebook, it crashed.
Sometimes, when i pull down the notification bar, it crashes.
Can someone help me out?
Excuse me for my grammer/typo's.
Lots of love.
Richard.

If you can get past the setup screens, do a full reset of the phone. But it sounds to me like the phone may have a manufacturing problem and needs to be returned for an exchange.

Hey Richurdt.
I know you're HTC One's issue was long resolved already. I wanna know how you fixed your issue. Because I have a very similar issue to yours before. I'm afraid that mine might be a hardware problem. I used my HTC One for almost 4mos then I had the same issues as yours came up.
I hope mine doesn't need to be returned to the store.
Hello and good day to every one.
I did a search and cannot find anything related to this issue for the S6 only the previous versions (S5,S4 ect..)
Every ten minutes the phone gives me a notification saying unauthorized actions have been detected restart to undo any unauthorized changes...I know its KNOX is there a fix for this?? or should i just install a custom rom with KNOX removed?

Hello,
I had the same issue appeared as soon as I got my phone. During activation the same message kept popping up and wouldn't go away after I restarted the phone. I tried everything and eventually had to call Samsung and they acknowledge there was an issue with some of their phones. She told me to return it and exchanged it for another one. This new one has no issues at all, except the home button is recessed towards the front of the button. By the way I am not rooted since I just got my phone a couple of days ago.

DOK2 all stock firmware here.
Got my phone back in december. My phone has been chugging alone fine until yesterday. not sure what happened but the lock screen takes minutes to come back. I tried doing a factory reset via software and when I did that the phone was still sluggish. Tried a stock recovery reset, and afterwards when i tried signing into my account and connecting to wifi at the initial setup the phone just rebooted back to the start screen again which i thought was real odd. It's currently restoring apps from the app store right now and it intermittently reboots itself while doing stuff. all while it's completely stuttering if i try to use it...
Is my phone starting to have internal memory failure? no SD card in the phone at the moment.
Should I try reflashing the DOK2 firmware via odin and then doing a reset again? Is that even possible with all the restrictions?
used it for about 30 minutes on my way to work and then it rebooted on me with the following error :
ddi: mmc_read failed
Check this thread for a workaround. I use an app to keep my phone from going into deep sleep.

Wouldn't hurt to reflash stock. Google usually restores apps when you check box at first boot for backup and restore. I'm wondering if you installed an app that doesn't agree with your phone... if so, you may continue seeing this issue so long as app is installed.

Did a factory reset and cleared cache, reflashed stock DOK2 from sammobile website using odin, cleared cache. things were going a little bit better at first but now just stuttering all over the place and randomly rebooting still. I only have very few apps downloaded, including facebook updates, instagram, all the samsung and google crap that forces updates...
Also want to add that booting into recovery takes a very long time, longer than i've ever noticed it taking... 7 min+ sometimes it will say "installing system updates" with the android guy chugging along, other times it will just have the android guy chugging....
Is there anything else I can try? Is there something I can test to verify that it's a hardware issue and not a software problem, like a flash memory checker?
This phone is out of warranty, and knox has been tripped so I have very limited options here. Would the Tmobile store let me do an exchange for a fee?

Sprint user here. I thought it might be a carrier issue, but it would seem It's at least Tmo & Sprint
Can't seem to find any complaints on the Verizon/ATT forums but that doesn't mean it isn't happening.
Could it be Touchwhiz?

I do get some touch wiz crashes and random app crashes . since I'm on dok2 is there any other rom or recovery I can flash ? Or so some super duper erase method? I'm pretty much ready to cut my losses and sell it for parts on eBay.

Well, fool me once.... Having spent $800 on a phone that broke in just over a year, hell would have to freeze over before I give Samsung any money again.
