Hey everyone!
My S21 Ultra started to freeze and reboot while using search in the menu. It is not everytime when i am using search, but it happens time to time... Any ideas how to troubleshoot why it is doing so? I would not like to reset to factory defaults
One UI Version 5.1
Android version 13
Try in safe mode to see if it's a 3rd party app.
Clear system cache.
You better find it most rikki tik as you may be close to a boot loop... that's as much warning as you get. Make sure all critical data is backed up now.

Was handing off my phone to my son, moving on to an LG G2, I let him test it out under my account, he added his account and phone was a little sluggish since the extra account was taking up more RAM, so he hands it to me while I was in bed and needs help, I factory reset it thinking it would just wipe out my personal data and allow him to enter his, well it did, but now he lost Root and I am stuck on the 1st nightly with memory leak...
Any method available to reroot this phone when in 5.0 so I can continue upgrading with nightlies? Or am I in a world of hurt now?
Justatechie replied in another thread, THANKS!!
Thats not going to work, it only works with the stock atrix hd 4.1.1
Cm12 can be rooted by going into developer options on the phone,
under root access (its disabled by default)
Just tap on it and allow apps or app and adb and it should be all set.
Other people prefer to flash supersu by going into recovery, just download the latest and put it where you will find it when you use the recovery.
I completely forgot about that, I had enabled developer mode, but nothing else, thought the reboot into advanced options was default, which it was not and slightly had a panic attack.. Thanks for the save...
Running apps stay running after a flash...
First thing odd I noticed, after giving him my phone and his adding his apps, is that when you click square to see running apps and click the 3 bars to turn them all off, they do not turn off, you have to swipe each one off now.
When I had the phone that process would end all apps I had started, now they stay on unless you swipe them off.
Also, after flashing the update to latest nightly, all the apps that were running before I flashed it and entered recovery to perform the flash, were running again upon a reboot. I have never seen this on any build, don't know if it is one of his apps causing this or what??
And I cleaned cache, cleaned dalvik, flashed both zips, cm12 and gapps, then cleaned cache again as instructed in the 5.0 threads.
I tried to see if it would happen again so I opened 3 apps, then performed a reboot, after phone rebooted, clicked the square and those same 3 apps were active...
What may have caused this?
Factory reset may have some bug as the phone was performing normally before I used that method to clear out my user data.
And if I ever decide to part with the phone I would expect that feature to work or I would be forced to keep it...

Apps will continue to run if you reboot. This is not a bug but a feature from Lollipop
I'm having a pretty serious issue. My phone rebooted on its own earlier and I only know because when it came back on it has the message: android system there's an internal problem with your device, and it may be unstable until you factory data reset.
I booted into safe mode and got the same error which tells me it isn't an app (I think)
Titanium backup force closes upon boot and will not open. I was hoping to use it to backup a couple of my games.
Anyone know of a fix? I haven't installed anything new in the last few days. Do I just need to hard reset? I'm hoping to avoid that. I might try to flash a new 5.1 system to see if that fixes it.
I had the same problem before. I believe its due to an error with the /data partition. Best thing I can recommend is formatting /data
As an update. I fastboot flashed I over D and did not get anywhere. I still get the error when it boots up and titanium backup is still borked. It was working fine before. I've heard that SMS apps can give issues so I am backing everything up, including the messages, and I'm going to erase all the messages and Textra. I will then reboot. If that doesn't fix it I guess it's time for a format of everything.
I've had Android for a long time, since the OG Hero on Sprint. This is the first time this has happened, so I'm hoping it isn't a common thing for the Nexus 6.
Deleting all messages and textra did not fix the issue. The only thing I think that could've caused it is recently by chainfire. It happened the day after I installed, tried, didn't work, and uninstalled. The next day the issue pops up and won't go away. Could also just be coincidence.
The only way I fixed this was factory reset. I did not have to wipe user data.
Hi folks,
I have recently had an issue with the Moto G 2nd gen ONLY since yesterday with the Camera (Moto Camera app). I had been able to use the camera in the morning.
I tested with other apps which access the camera such as Instagram. Instagram could not start taking photo at all.
I don't know for what reason, the camera cannot start any longer. I tried to wipe the cache but it did not help at all. I am running standard Moto Android 5.0.2, with no custom firmware installed at all.
Does anyone know what is happening to my phone?
Thanks a lot for looking.
Try going to setings-->apps-->all, choose camera,delete cache,delete data,uninstall updates and stop the app. Reboot the device,try if camera app works. If yes install updates from playstore. If this doesn´t work boot the phone into recovery and delete cache partition. Maybe try first procedure again.If you are rooted you can try to uninstall camera via Titanium and install again.

Thanks for your suggestion :good:. I've done all of those steps. Even, I came to a point wipe all data and factory reset. No app installed rather than what comes with the phone. I still have the same error. Does it mean the camera has been physically broken?
Alright guys, I had to talk to Motorola Support about my case last week. After a long chat, I have it repaired under the warranty policy. I just received it back now. The camera was replaced due to hardware issue. Case closes here guys, thanks for the help so far.
My wife has a Galaxy s5- ATT SM-g900a. Recently the phone randomly locks up and/or reboots. I have factory wiped it with the same results. I have done some reading but not sure where to start on fixing this problem. It looks like its got G900AUCS4DPH3 on it now. Is it possible one of the apps is causing this or is the OS or what should I do to remedy this. Thanks
If you have done a factory wipe, then it is not an app issue. After a factory wipe you should have been left with no apps and only the barebone OS, unless if you did a full restore. If that is the case, redo factory wipe without app restore and see if the issue continues. If it is fixed, install the apps one by one, starting from the ones that are the most important for her, and see if it brakes after installing any specific apps again. Good luck
BACKUP. Google does not backup properly. Note passwords. Note local data. Backup photos. ....
Many of my apps have stopped generating notification alerts, including Google Voice, Ebay and Samsung's built-in Calendar app. For no rhyme or reason, I randomly get a barrage of past notification alert sounds all at once and they are all from earlier in the day. Additionally, I do not receive any notifications that Google Voice has a text message waiting for me to read until I manually open up the Google Voice app. The same goes for manually opening up any other app: notifications suddenly start appearing in my notifications bar. This never used to be a problem in Android 9 OS. It all started happening when my carrier pushed out the Android 10 update. Is there really not a solution to this problem? I asked Samsung support and they told me that all they could do was reset my phone. I believe resetting a device to complete factory should NOT be the first solution offered.
You have 3 choices:
1) clear cache in recovery - may or may not help
2) data factory reset in recovery - will more than likely fix it
3) flash the stock firmware in Odin - will definitely fix it, but will also wipe the phone

Currently testing out option 1. So far, its working correctly for a day. I hope it is the fix...
Check the battery optimization and try to lock the apps in in task manager. still not perfect but for some apps it does the trick.

After a week, the first option still wasn't working. I guess onto step 2...

Hmm. So I looked in Device Care > Memory section and there was a place where I could add apps that shouldn't be memory monitored (maybe it was closing it out being in the background too long?). I did this today so I will have to check back in a week to see if it fixes it. If not, then I really have to just do a data recovery reset
