Hey all,
I'm trying to determine what is causing my settings to crash. When I go into settings and try and change my wallpaper I get the "Unfortunately settings has stopped" error. It only happens with the wallpaper setting, all other settings work fine. So I was going to try and boot up into safe mode to see if I could find what 3rd party software is causing the issue, but when I try and get into safe mode, it freezes up on the AT&T logo. Any ideas what could be causing either of these issues?

i flashed to the auxura rom last night from clean factory stock, havent had any issues thus far. started messing with gps settings (sensor aid, jm9 flash, etc) when i turned off the sensor aid option and hit the back button, the menu fc and then the phone went to the boot screen and stayed there. did a battery pull and then rebooted the phone and everything seemed normal until i realized that auto-rotate wont work for anything. tried switching it on/off, rebooting, etc and cannot get it to work for ANYTHING.
having searched and seeing that there is a similar thread in the galazy s19000 q/a it says that auto rotate sometimes simply stops working for no reason, issue is not reproducable, and the only way to fix it is to reset the phone. would that be the case for the captivate since they are similar and the auxura is based off of the 19000 rom?
anyone have any ideas on how to troubleshoot?
Try disabling and enabling the button for Auto Rotate in the tray.

yup, did that (sorry should of been specific that i did it in setting menu as well as the tray), made no difference. i suspect this situation is similar to the 19000 situation and have no choice but to re-flash again and see what happens.
couldnt figure out what caused the problem through the forums so i'm just gonna mark it up to it being a random 19000 thing and reflash. lets hope it doesnt happen again.

I have a Samsung S Captivate from At&T. I'm experiencing that same issue of not being able to auto rotate the user interface.
Settings are correct. But I think I have issues with my gyroscope and I'm not able to calibrate the compass either. Any ideas?
I found this interesting post to calibrate a messed up gyroscope, and it worked for my captivate.
You have to be rooted. Place the phone on a flat surface, then type the following in terminal:
Code:
adb shell
su
/system/bin/sensorcalibutil_yamaha
heY STOP DONT CALIBRATE ANYTHING!!!
the new axura rom LAUNCHER doesnt have auto rotate , only in the messenger and web browser. If you use launcher pro, you will have your auto rotate back just make sure the box is checked and you will be golden.
I too encounterd this issue so thats how I know
I had rooted my phone and fash rom Cezar's Basic include root by voodoo. But when i tick auto rotate in Setting>Dislay> Auto rotate then monitor auto rotate horizontal on message, browse and memo and I rotate phone to vertical -> Monitor not rotate to vertical-> Any one help me!
Running Cog 2.3b8 I magically lost auto-rotate. Checked the setting in the notification tray, Settings > Display and the settings for LauncherPro. Nothing worked, rebooting did nothing.
Running /system/bin/sensorcalibutil_yamaha in ADB SHELL as su worked. Problem solved and saved me from having to reflash the ROM.
Does anyone have the samen problem?
I have the very annoying problem that whenever the screen locks (with power button or after time out) and an app changes settings on this action where it needs superuser permissions for, the screen goes on again instantly. So I have to force the screen to lock again.
Disabling the apps that need superuser solves this. Trying different apps from Google Play makes no difference.
Changing the SuperSU app to Superuser doesn't fix it. Factory reset didn't help either.
Anyone knows a fix for this?
Also this problem didn't occur in the beginning. Only after a random time. But it won't go away.
I use firmware V10F.

Try to change SU settings.
Already tried that.
After playing around with my root apps it's settings I found out that any app who disables my mobile data connection causes my phone to turn on it's screen.
Someone an idea?
I just received my Mi5 today, and I am getting a constant freezing black screen when trying to use most apps. It doesn't seem to be a certain app that triggers it. It just happens on its own. The screen just goes black, and the only way to get it to work again is to reset the phone. I installed the latest update available for the phone, reset it to factory settings twice, and the problem still persists. Is anyone having this issue? It's running the chinese rom.
I know there's got to be some setting turned on that is preventing me from toggling the apps in Device Administrator because whenever I go to it, I can see the full list, and when I attempt to toggle one of them on or off, settings crashes and locks the phone. I have two apps that have been toggled on, so somehow I was given the ability to do it before this hard to find setting was turned on preventing me from toggling any more apps....
Any suggestions on what I'm doing wrong? Thanks!

I was getting the exact same issue on my S8+ yesterday. Do you perhaps have the latest/beta version of Call Recorder by SKVALEX installed? With my issue at least, I think it was down to that app, well a conflict between the two versions I had on the phone. May have been coincidence and could have been unrelated of course but removing both (old and beta) then just installing the latest beta sorted the issue, or t least the issue went away at the same time...

Not, I don't have that app nor do I think this is AN app preventing me from adjusting Device Administrator toggles
I Had the same problem in my note 7, only thing I could do was a reset all app settings, that solved the issue
Just got this phone days ago and flashed fresh new .205 firmware, then configed the phone and installed apps on it.
Everything appears fine, but suddenly all auto-start apps stop auto-starting after phone boots, until I unlock my phone manually, then finally they can start in the background.
What could cause this to happen? My other phone, Xperia XZP with exact same apps and settings works fine with no problem.
Update: app-start turns normal after disabling PIN. But how? Why? Can I turn it on again?
Update: apps stopped auto-starting again after fingerprint(PIN) is enabled. Really need some help here. Smart lock also appears broken, it just shows a blank screen in its settings page.
Update 2:
OK now I know it's caused by a feature called "FBE" and I have to do a factory reset to get rid of it. So damn great. I hate these companies.
