you didnt need to start a new thread for this...you could have posted in the old one as it is the forums get cluttered with multiple threads discussing the same topics....
For your problem if you have tried everything then i guess ur only other option would be to try another ROM ...i had the same sync issues with the HDIII PRO manilla ROM..but when i switched back to the older HDIII the problem resolved itself...iam not saying this is the best solution for you...but its one possible solution...
Mods - Maybe this thread needs to be merged with the older one...

Help, phone is useless

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.

[Q]Help me with this particular N910T

Hey folks, first thread ever, I really need help with this troubled N910T, DOK2, Android 5.1.1
Whats wrong with this phone:
The contact app will stop everytime I open it, since contact app is combined into Phone app, so the Phone app will also stop everytime I click on it. However, the situation will be fixed if I change the locale to English. (The phone belongs to a Asian friend)
One of the instant message app, the Wechat, similar to Whatsapp Messager and Facebook Messager, will not receive any kind of notification, at all.
The phone's battery drop from 50% to 1% then turn off itself in minutes.
The last two problems may be unrelated issues to the first one, and that is not the main reason I'm really here. I have ODIN flashed the latest firmware over 10 times and all THREE of the problems still exist after all that.
And whats bothering me is that ODIN flash firmware WILL NOT FACTORY RESET this phone, that doesn't make any sense to me. Please let me know if I make a mistake about that, because every other phone or tablet I have worked on before will always be factory reset after flashing a OEM firmware.
I have also flahed TWRP and wiped everything from the System to the internal storage and reflash the firmware but the problem is still there.
sort of things have been done to the phone may have something to do with the problems:
installed the zips I got from this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/not...pt-touchwiz-bloating-script-222-apps-t3258537
it debloated the phone.
the phone was lost in a rainy day, found again two days later. Remote lock and wipe preformed via Android Device Manager but the wipe process never go through.
Please let me know if the phone is worth saving at all, I have spent days in this phone fixing and researching for solution. I found no similar issue around here, and the phone is out of warranty.
Thank you and please let me know should I throw this thing away.

Battery needs to be replaced. Are you sure you flashed right firmware for 910t not 910t3?

It's a N910T, and the ODIN sucessfully passed everytime but will not factory reset the phone,.

Have you tried going into recovery and factory reset it yourself

Many times already.

If you haven't done so, you may want to do a clean install which means wiping system, data, dalvik and cache at least three times in custom recovery such as TWRP. Then you can try ODIN baseband, bootloader, rom and kernel (if rom doesn't contain one), custom recovery. Next you boot into customer recovery again and do a factory reset and that should do it. Let me know if that helps.

HELP! Note 8 stuck in "System Ui Has Stopped" problem!!

Hello. I REALY NEED HELP!! A couple of months ago when oreo got leaked for note 8 I installed it. I installed substratum themes before I did the update when I was still in 7.1.1 . When I installed the leaked oreo I had a problem that it wouldn't let me go past the lock screen unless I quick launched the camera and it said "system ui has stopped" and the phone kept vibrating. I couldn't turn off the phone.. only if I got lucky and then it would take me to a screen that said upload mode. no hard reset combo worked and only download mode combo worked. from there I would put cancel and it restarted the phone. somehow I got the phone to power off and immediately tried the hard reset combo and it worked. I factory reset it and everything went to normal. After that I never had the same issue again. But couple days ago I tried to install substratum to see if it would now work. WELL THAT WAS A HUGE MISTAKE. it was doing the same thing so I managed to factory reset it again. after that I didn't install substratum and everything would work fine until I woke up. when I woke up it kept doing the same thing so I wipped the cache and factory reset it again. Everything worked fine again and then the next morning IT DID THE SAME THING. I've factory reset it like 5 times now and don't have substratum installed at all and that doesn't work. it still says that "system ui has stoped" when I wake up in the mornings. I've been researching A LOT and I've tried to do everything the forums say but nothing works. HOW CAN I GET RID OF THIS SOFTWARE PROBLEM COPMLETLY?. (keep in mind i'm still on the beta software , I never got the official update). I even took it to a Samsung care center for a day and they told me that they couldn't fix it and I called Samsung and they said to ship it in to them so they could fix it. Have you guys been through this?

I am by no means on the level of the wonderful gentlemen that so often come to our rescue, but have you tried flashing the device's original firmware?

What varient are you?

I have the exact same issue, how is this not talked about anywhere? The leaked beta was so wide spread, I'm assuming you've tried taking it to ubreakifixit? I think that's what it's called.

I think flashing the original firmware is your best option considering you are still on the beta.
Just post the variant you have and the country you're in and I can give you instructions on how to get the right firmware

I would advise that you take your device to a Samsung Service Center and let them take a look at it. As they will be able to help you resolve your issue

Here is a video about repair Android system issues, maybe helpful with you.

quick tools compass not working

By not working, I mean it is permanently stuck on preparing. Will never load beyond, and also means I can't use any of the other tools.

Bottom line, is that it should work flawlessly.
I have a SM-N960F model and have no issues.
All options working fine.
Maybe try locating app in Setting/Apps /Quick Tools and clearing Data or cache
See screenshots
Good luck

Doesn't work. Tried all that. I even tried reinstalling the APK. It refuses to reinstall; gives me an error.

other,options maybe ?
I presume , your other Edge panels is working fine ?
Have you disabled/freezed , an app that has a knock on effect ?
Reminds me ,that with my old Note 8 ,i had issues with the Always on Display not working .
i tried everything ,resetting Settings on device ,clearing Device cache etc, etc , nothing solved my issue.
Eventually when i did a full factory reset ...it was working !
who knows ,i know factory resetting is not everyone 's favorite option ,but as a last resort ..?
As stated in my post above ,we know that Quick Tools , does work on the Note 9 !
Good luck
post note ,
my experience with trying to re install an APK and i get an error etc
,it was either that the APK / APP was incompatible with my device
( we know that it is compatible !)
or that the previous / earlier version ( APK ) that was installed /on device was corrupted /or had a different signature etc or keeps on getting corrupted by another system app ?
Thats why a full clean Factory Reset might help .???

Yes all other panels work fine.
I don't use package disablers.
It seems overkill to factory reset over such a small and trivial function. I'll just trudge on through I guess.

Yes, i agree with you thats it seems like an overkill to factory reset.
I my case,with Always on Display not working,
( i was using it very seldom at that time)
I also had a similar attitude.
Unfortunately, it irritated the hell out of me, that Always on display , was not working.
After a period of time (about 3mths later) and without considering all the hassle of a factory reset, i just did it.
Result.
Always on display was working and at last had peace of mind !
Good luck

Still an issue for me.
Short of factory reset, I've tried everything.

Yes I have this issue also, did you manage to fix it?

I factory reset when I got to Pie, so it's been working great since. No solution without a reset I'm afraid.

Ok thanks.
Edit: Ok I've got it working by going into settings/apps then clicking in the 3 dots and then 'reset app preferences'
I didn't get to find out which app was causing the issue but it's all working fine now.

This Works

Yes this does the trick..saved me from performing a factory reset thanks

I know this is old but seeing as it's the first result for this issue I wanted to add another solution that worked for me and does not require resetting all app preference which can be a huge bummer especially if you've done a lot of configuration of your apps and disabling apps etc.
Anyway, what worked for me was the following:
Go to Settings > Developer options > Background check and make sure Quick Tools is enabled.

I had a similar problem on another phone, I fixed it by setting the application access to the sensors. I accidentally canceled this, then the compass did not work.
