I'm having the same exact problem. I can't seem to find a way around it, and I suppose I will have to send it in if I don't want to go into ODIN and deal with it that way.
Same issue
I'm having the same issue.
It does not matter how I do it the result is the same.
The 3G information is wiped out, all the applications are messed up, but my Gmail account, Facebook and accounts are still there. If I manually remove all the accounts using account manager, when I reboot the tab, they're all back!
I've tried:
Menu > Settings > Privacy > facotry reset
and I've tried holding down the Volume Up button while booting and selecting facotry reset and clear cache. No good...
At this point I'm being sent a new Tablet, but I really want my personal information cleared before I send it back. How can I "jack" it up? I've looked for a Verizon ROM to see if I can put that back on using the SD card, hoping that would wipe it, but can't seem to find one. Or any CDMA Rom that might wipe everything out.
After I had this issue I even installed z4Root and rooted teh phone, hopeing to use an App that remote wipes, but the results were the same and NOW the SuperUser force closes everytime I try to open it. In fact, almost all the apps seem to force close when starting them EXCEPT market and Gmail.
Help!
--- update----
Changed my passwords on Gmail, Facebook and Twitter. After about 30 minutes the tablet finally stopped displaying my information and started prompting for passwords.
This is an old thread but I'm having the same problem with my Sprint Galaxy Tab. Factory resetting through recovery mode, settings, flashing a new rom, etc don't work and pretty much every app crashes as soon as the tab boots.
Anything I can do before sending it in?
Anyone else facing this problem? I did have two google account in my tab. I would like to remove one of it which I dont use anymore. BUT the system request me to factory reset if I want to remove the account.
BUT the problem is, i'm afraid if I reset, others problem will come later.
I always heard people taking "Don't fixed it if its aint broken". LOL
So, over my curiosity to see either this "unable to remove account" is a common problem which involve my tab also or not?
Curiosity kill the cat!!
haha..so afraid now...
same issue
I have the same problem.Problem come on gingeIrbread.On froyo factory reset works normal.I flash back to froyo but can't do enything becouze it's crash when go to settings wizard.

Solved.I took my tab to Samsung center. Replace the mainboard.Now it work.

hello all,
i know that this thread is very old. but i faced this problem now, i want to know if flashing the stock ROM will solve this problem or the only option is to change the motherboard. As my tab is out of warranty and this will cost me a lot to get motherboard changed
thanks in advance.

In case of trouble go back to stock ROM first.

hi all, my phone has numerous problems and nothing seems to fix the phone, so ill sum up the issues
none of my apps work, ALL of them force close as soon as they are opened, I've tried factory resetting the phone, but after the reset the apps are still there with the same problem. The same things happen after i do a hard reset. I've tried reflashing stock and non stock firmwares and nothing fixes the problem, my phone is basically useless.
Is there any fix to this?

I don't know what your warranty situation is, but if you can flash back to stock, I'd take it into an AT&T store and see if you can get a warranty replacement. It's possible there may be a fix to your issue, but if you are in a position where you can just swap it out for a new phone, that may be your best/least frustrating solution.
Have you tried going into mounts and storage in cwm formatting everything and then flashing?
My phone is out of warranty
and yes i've tried that but still no luck :/

When you flashed to stock, did you do a Master Clear also? It sounds like a software issue and should be fixed with a complete system wipe.
I'm going to assume you used some type of backup " tibu " or something similar before you did any flashing ? If so did or how did you reinstall your apps and data ? Cuz if you install system apps plus data it would explain why all your apps are force closing. Only install missing apps plus data.
Do the ethical thing... Go to at&t and claim ignorance to the problem. Always works out.
A week ago I noticed that after my phone's battery was drained out it reset itself. Every app datawas deleted permamently. The phone acted like a new one. The only apps that were untouched were system apps. Some of the apps installed a previous day were also deleted but its data stayed untouched in /data/data. I had to move these datas one folder up, install these apps again and then move datas back to use the apps just like the day before. But this case with datas happens only for the "uninstalled" ones, the rest of the apps that were not magically self-uninstalled were reset to the state when they are just installed.
About 20 minutes ago it happened again. But I noticed how my phone acted before the battery-drainage death. It dropped just to 2% and then suddenly switched off without any information about "shutting down" or anything. Only the LED blinked 3 times but nothing else... I plugged my phone to the charger and switched it on and voila... it was turning on for about 3 minutes nd everything is reset AGAIN.
Is anyone able to help me? I use .141 FW but this happened on .140 too. Also I have DooMKernel v7 flashed...
Tapped from The Bond Phone!
I have similar problem, after doing many restarts with usb dis/connections, partitions remounts, etc.
I have endless bootanimation and from log I can see that IMEI has 0 lenght and ATcmdfwd service won't start.
Manual factory reset solves it. (I learned to make backups with titanium every day)
Sometimes this happens after shutdown without notification.
Also using DK7 and my rom.
What other mods do you have same as I do?
No serious mod installed at all. Only DK7 on stock ROM and nothing else. I'm really worried because it never happened before, my phone was shutting down with an information and everything was ok. But for a week I was insanely careful not to discharge the battery completely because I didn't want to restore old backups again... but I was curious if this happen again and my thoughts became true...
Tapped from The Bond Phone!
Hmm, so I am suspecting the kernel. I think I will try to return to v5 for a few days.
Maybe it is caused by the Dynamic file sync.
Try everything stock , stock ROM ,stock kernel ,no mods at all. See if it still happens.
Sent from my LT30p using xda app-developers app
Try flashing a other kernel if that does not maybe trying a different ROM will work "cough" cm10.1 "cough

Thanks for the tips! I discharged my phone again and this time it shut down at 4% but with the notification so everything is ok this time but earlier I uninstalled Kernel Tuner and these two resets happened with KT installed. I've installed it again and I will drain the battery another time and see if this was a cause.
Tapped from The Bond Phone!
Damn, guys... my phone did that again. I'm on XperimenT 3.0 ROM and I was playing Galaxy on Fire 2 when I fell asleep and my phone died. I woke up, turned it on and it was like waiting in a huge queue for about 15 minutes and voilà - everything is reset to stock except from all messages were kept, all accounts were kept, all setting were kept. This is pretty annoying as I don't want to do a backup every single day...
Is anyone still able to help me? If this problem persist I will be thinking about selling this phone and moving to another and I don't want to do this because for now it's a waste of money for me...
Returning to DK v5 solved this kind of problem for me.
Hey,
I just noticed that when I'm pressing the screen with one finger, then trying to hold another finger while still holding onto the screen, there is a small delay in recognising the 2nd finger...
This only happens after 30 minutes of usage, as the multitouch works just fine for a while after powering up.
The delay is not that much, but is enough to not recognise when I'm simply tapping the screen, which makes it impossible to play games like fifa 14 properly, since I have to hold down the button for a while to have a response...
I'm currently rooted, on stock 12.1.A.1.205, on the stock kernel.
Any ideas?
Thanks in advance
Yeah I also have multitouch problem.Can't play games that require multitouch(fifa,mc5 etc)
I think it is hardware problem
Quick question dude...did you try a factory reset?
I'm thinking of trying it but I don't want to lose my data without fixing it...
Can anyone confirm that this is a hardware problem?
I have the same problem, and I'm sure isn't a hardware problem because it started when I updated the phone to the 12.1.A.1.205 version.
I also have a problem with the back key, it works for a couple of clicks and it stop working until I press the home key. This happens after the update as well, before all has working fine. It's annoying!

I thought I was the only one with the back key problem. The multitouch one I never tested.
This is why I moved to CM11 (also because of ThemeChooser :silly: )

Sorry to ask this, but, what is CM11?
CM11 is a custom ROM (basically a whole new operating system). And it's based on android 4.4.4
I used to be on CM11, it is so good, but I prefer Sony's UI.
Also, thanks for the help. Since this isn't a hardware problem I'll try a factory reset and see what happens...

I don't think factory reset would work because I keep flashing different roms with complete wipe.
Apparently a factory reset didn't help...neither a firmware upgrade...
So it has to be another thing causing it....
Any other ideas?

Bad news with the reset then
I had to reboot my phone in safe mode (I think this is the name in English, "modo seguro" in Spanish) and the multitouch seems that doesn't fail in this mode. So I think is some program that is loaded with a normal boot which is causing the trouble.

Even if I don't open an app, it's still happening...

Hmm But there are programs that start automatically. I killed every process I don't use, and I'm testing if it works.
I'm fresh out of a factory reset, so I don't really have any apps installed except titanium backup and es file explorer. I also killed every app except the ones that the phone needs to work properly....still no change.
After a random amount of minutes it works fine, without doing anything...
Also a question: How did you test it in safe mode? You can't have your downloaded app on safe mode to test it..

Well safe mode isn't the solution....you can't be onto safe mode for ever...
It's funny cuz the multitouch thing is actually working, but you have to hold the screen to do so not tap it. If u tap it it wont recognise ur finger
Any one got something before I actually give up on this?

The weird thing is that after rebooting from the safe mode to the normal mode and kill every app in execution that I don't use, it works. The multitouch and the back key is working. I have no idea what to think.

When I start up the phone and start a game like Shadow Fight, it works fine for me too. But when I launch another game that's where it starts to delay...

Sad news...
After trying everything, from settings to scripts and touch boosting apps, I left my hopes on changing the ROM i use...
I had a stored backup of my 4.3 stock rom in the past. I restored it today and the problem persists...
I also flashed a fresh new build of cyanogenmod 11, which I used in the past aswell. No help...
I can now conclude that this is a hardware problem.
But what I don't understand is...why does this only happen after 30+ minutes of usage of the phone?
I mean it works perfectly fine on games when I start up the phone...
Thanks to everybody for the help...

Have you tried this one: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=48066948&postcount=6
OOPS that's for unresponsive touch, sorry
I have the HTC one m7,stock/unrooted. Im not sure if this problem is because of a bug or a setting that needs to be changed. When the screen is off I'm somehow able to turn the screen back on by pressing either volume button. This becomes annoying when I have it in my front pocket when I'm working and I take out my phone to check a message and see that the screen was on the whole time. Then when I double tap the home button to see my recent apps, I notice that random apps are open including the camera and sometimes it would call/text random people. If you are wandering how it is sitting while in my pocket, the power button is @ the top,so the only keys being pressed is the volume rocker. Before lollipop I never had this issue. I have already tried a factory reset (not a app issue) and clearing system cache to no avail. Another thing I've noticed I'd when I'm on the home screen with the phone unlocked I'm able to use it in landscape mode. If anyone can give me a permanent solution to this problem I'd greatly appreciate it.
This is very odd since the problems you're telling is actually a feature of some custom roms. I'd suggest you to backup your internal storage and RUU.

Yes but not the one you make on the phone. You download the RUU tool to factory reset the phone, it should fix your problem.

RUU will wipe entire OS and reflash it. Phone factory reset wont work if some of your system files are corrupt or missing. You can find them on android developement section prior to your variant
