everything is Force Closing since yesterday

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

[Q] Bootloop please help

Hi all i've been looking for a way to fix my S4 Active i537, the phone keeps resetting. I will power it on and it will get as far at the AT&T screen before resetting and starting the process all over again and will do it repeatedly. My phone is not unlocked nor i have never tried to do it, i understand that a factory reset might fix my problem however i have not backed up my phone and would hate to lose my photos, music, and messages. I am able to enter the odin and recovery modes and i have tried to clear the caches to no avail. Also when i try to select reboot in the recovery menu i just get an error screen and after a few seconds the phone shuts off. Is there a way i can backup or at least retrieve my photos from odin or the recovery menu perhaps using adb? Would flashing my device to a different firmware solve this? Would it delete all my data?
Thanks in advance
Also i have an AT&T s4 active unlocked running on tmobile, if that helps any

Just some more info, before this started happening i went on a kayaking trip, the phone was in a bucket which had a little water in it but the phone was locked up ( rubber over charging port and batter cover on securely) when i got home i found there was some humidity on the front and back cameras which i then used a blow dryer to dry it out. The phone would restart, turn back on, and boot up at first but then it got worse and now will not go past the at&t screen

You originally posted this in the International S4 forum. You want to ask this in the S4 Active forums at http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s4-active
The mods will move this to the correct location.

When i did a factory reset using the cwm it didn't delete any photos videos music or any files of any kind .. it just unistalled all apps and cleared their data . As far i know the only thing that got me out the bootloop was the factory reset ... on the other hand factory reseting using the stock recovery deleted everything in my internal storage ..
Hope it helps

[Q] Wifi stuck "Turning on"

Tried searching around and have seen others with this issue but nothing has worked. Tried a clean flash of a rom and during the setup wizard its still broken.
I have pretty much done everything but done a clean flash of stock and i am gearing up to do that but i dont have high hopes.

are you using a custom kernel?

Nope...
its not that i just cant connect, its like the hardware is broken.

and just did a complete factory image flash.
still broken

I had this happen to my N6 last week. It started after running the battery completely flat so the green LED lit when I charged it. The fix having repeatedly wiping seemed to be draining battery completely again until the green LED lit when I charged it. It has worked fine ever since.

First contacted square trade as that is my insurance, they said contact Moto because it is still under warranty. Did that, Moto said they would replace it. I said i don't want to go without a phone and they said they can charge me 25 and put a 500 hold on my account but they would send the phone first. Said OK phone arrives on Tuesday.
Just as an FYI they did basically say did you factory reset it.... but that is all the trouble shooting.
If anyone is interested in my symptom. Wifi is just always stuck at "turning on" every once in a while it will be off. but when you try to turn it on it just gets stuck again.
When it is stuck you can not turn it off.

Might be worth an RMA. see my previous post.

Don't know if I'm a little too late to this post... .But it happened to my Nexus 6 too, tried everything, wipe cache, factory reset, root, delete /persist/wifi but nothing worked....
However, luck seems to be on my side when I went into Google Connectivity Services under Setting--> Apps... and wipe its cache and tried to disable it (but stopped before I did). Then reboot the phone once i wiped all the data from the Google Connectivity Services Apps and VIOLA! It's working now!
*EDIT... It worked for about an hour (allowing me to dl all the apps) but now it has failed again....

I have the same issue as soon and I unlock the bootloader

any ideas? Im going to root again the device and load a different to see if it makes any difference

I am experiencing this as well. Was working fine yesterday and when I tried to go to Android M Preview 3 this happened. Whats worse is that this is happening right after I switched from Unlimited Data on TMo to Project Fi with 3GB. Making this even more frustrating is that Project Fi support says the preview images are now compatible with Project Fi. Isn't that something they should be telling people up front?!

I'm having the same issue on marshmalow, it suddenly started to happen some weeks ago.
First times was solved with phone reboot.
Then was required to clean cache before restart
Now I've tried reclutance suggestion (delete data from google connectivity services and reboot but the problem persist?
I'm using 6.0.1 stock rom without root
I don't want to perform a factory reset
Any suggestion?

here too...close the wifi

All tried doesn't work,
Wipe cache
Wipe dalvik cache (via fastboot as I do not have a custom recovery neither unlocked the boot or root, my phone is completely original)
Also tried to delete wifi data
Any suggestion?

RMA

I'm continuing to have issues with my Motorola Nexus 6 phone.
It is running stock android 6.0.1
I never unlocked it or rooted (Sadly cause If i do so I were able to backup my apps and settings with titanium backup and restore it before a full device reset )
The problem started some weeks ago.
First symptom was that i was unable to enter on Settings -> Data usage (Every time receives an "unfortunately, settings has stopped" message)
Then some days have difficult to connect to wifi or disconnect (at that moment I didn't investigate the issue, just retry considering the issue was on router side)
After some time I realize that the problem was on the phone, specially cause it started to stuck turning on wifi, but for some days just turning off phone and turning it on again solves the issue.
With the time it becomes more and more frequent and turning it off and on didn't solve anything so I've reboot into recovery mode and perform a clear cache but it doesn't solve the issue.
Looking here and at other forums found that this issue is really common and some people solves it trough ADB with "adb shell pm clear com.android.settings" I've tried it but it didn't solve anything.
Even when many people didn't solve it with a factory reset I want to try it, but I need to be able to backup one app data (If could backup everything will be the best but at least need to backup blockchain app (Also have an issue with them as provider and couldn't log in from another device or website, just this device has a session already approved and open)
Any suggestion?

I've upgraded/downloaded to almost any possible rom and the problem is still here
Looking on forums found that is a very common issue since marshmallow in many devices (Specially Nexus)
Most people couldn't fix it but some could.
the problem is with devices macaddress that shown 02:00:00:00:00:00 and get stuck turning on
there are solutions in forums that seems to be a little bizarre like drain battery to 0 and full recharge (This one works for me once)
,others like deleting Google connectivity services cache, or deleting /persist/wifi folder completely
But I found one for nexus 5 who replaces the full /persist partition with a dump and edit the files and permissions with macaddress information.
This seems to have logic and provides an explanation about why the problem persist after, factory reset or rom changing so I want to try it in nexus 6.
Could someone provide me a dump of it?
There is an app: https://play.google.com/store/apps/d...nam.partitions, that makes the process of making a partition backup easy. The persist partition is on /dev/block/mmcblk0p26
Thanks in advance

Did you solve your problem? Because I have the same. Did you try to change Mac address on device?

What's wrong with my Note 4? Slowdowns galore and freezing

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?

bump... anyone? am i really screwed?

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.

I am having same issue. Was running stock until 3 days ago, when I got fed up with the stock reboot and slow-down. I guess it's time to save up and get a new phone.

Samsung must have activated some self destruct feature on their hardware to get people to upgrade to the galaxy s7 i guess....

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.

Phone starts with moving halo and "wissen"... "Is it wiping my phone?"

Phone starts with moving halo and "wissen"... "Is it wiping my phone?"
Just now I took my Nexus 6 out of my pocket because it was very warm.
The screen was all black with in the middle a big Halo moving with the disturbing message "wissen" beneath it.
"wissen" is Dutch for wiping, deleting or removing...
Turning the phone off is possible by holding down the power button for 6 seconds, but then it turns on again after 3 seconds showing that same screen again.
After some fiddling I was able to find a method to turn it off.
I can start the phone by holding down the power button and the volume button (down) which will start the recovery program.
There I can turn it off.
Although I have unlocked the phone and ran modded firmwares I switched to standard factory Nexus 2 years ago and haven't had a rooted phone for all that time.
Recently I installed the 7.1 OTA updated.
I'm afraid this is something like a remote wipe.
It also doesn't ask me to give my PIN which is normal for it to do.
What is happening?
Some more info: Yesterday I bought the "AIO All-in-one Toolbox " after using the free one for 3 weeks. Could that be involved?

It may be formatting and encrypting your data partition.

Yes, but why?
It just went into my pocket this morning....
I came one step further.
As I was still able to get it into fastboot loader I exited with "volume up"
Then it went into an almost normal boot. This didn't require the pin it normally needed.
The device went into a full factory reset.
I thought I would be up and running fast, but after entering my new gmail account/password I got the message that I needed to wait another 24 hours because I did a password reset.
I did this password reset of my Google account out of safety. Now I'm being punished for this....
Luckily I have a spare Motorola G3 with its own SIM, so I can at least use my phone.
I can't even use my Nexus as a phone nor can I go to settings. Maybe if use another Google-account.

Did some more research...
The last Exchange sync was while cycling to work.
Didn't use the phone then nor later.
Because my Google-account is locked I can't do anything with my Phone (not even phone), so I decided to flash an alternate rom on it.
I flashed lineagos and also rooted the device again.
Although I did root my Nexus 6 in the beginning this is the first custom ROM I have on it. I still need to install gapps.
Now I can start using my Titaniumbackup again that I bought several years ago.
I still have no idea how it could have gone into wiping. I put the phone in my pocket while it was screenlocked. The device needs a pincode to unlock.....
I am still unable to use Google Apps. I can run the app, but it doesn't let me install apps.
On the stock rom I was just stuck (stuck rom, haha)..... at the installation screen unable to even make a phone call....
Does someone have any idea???

My idea is that you have the N6 unprotected in your pocket. Moving or cycling caused activation of a factory reset.
