I was getting some force close when trying to read a pm in tapatalk..so I uninstalled tapatalk & xda..then there was an update for titanium,,at that point the phone seemed to hang, so I rebooted the phone and then it would give me multiple force close of just about every app..keyboard force close etc...& some icons at the top of the screen that I have never seen before..ie a circular battery icon..
I was able to boot into rom manager..but not sure what to do next? Don't want to make it any worse..lol

Thanks.. Just don't understand why.... I don't know if this started with talkapk, it was force closing when I was trying to open a pm.. or if it was titanium or supersu?
kind of freaked me out though...!
A great reason for backups

Yeah, maybe... It seemed fine at first... Now just updating some 200+ apps Fortunately I had a CWM backup from a couple weeks ago....
But nothing worked on the phone... Thankfully I could get into recovery... Phew

Fixing force close issues
The best thing to do for force closes is to go into ROM Manager, scroll down to where you see "Fix Permissions" and run them. It fixes force close problems all the time for me

Thanks, but the phone was at the point where it was unusable... The only functionality was with the volume & power buttons... Lesson learned... Along with Titanium do a CWM backup weekly... It's amazing how much you can change on your phone, without realising it!

If you are rooted and have Titanium Backup, simply freeze it.. I did when I first got my SR back in November and haven't had a problem.
I use bloat freezer free. Allows you to scroll through all apps and shows which are running( including system apps that are hidden) I freeze tethering manager to allow use if native AP app and freeze bloat

OK so I was browsing around the sprint forum and I came across this thread. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2012583 This is a TW JB SMS with all extra settings unlocked. It gives you the option to disable screen on when you get a notification also to disable call back number and more. This is not my work and all credit goes to Sac23 for this mod I'm just sharing what I found with everyone. I see people asking for these options everyday so I'm sure this will make a lot of people happy. Enjoy guys.

If wifi is on it doesn't switch to data to send pic. That's how this phone works when sending pics. Sorry for not being clear. I installed turned off screen on then replaced with stock. Screen no longer comes on and everything works perfect

After installing this and un checking screen on, I deleted it with root explorer, copy paste stock, set permissions reboot to recovery wipe caches and reboot. Stock then works perfectly with screen staying off when message received notification lights still working. All good

I'm on Clean rom jb. Under settings there is the software update button. What would happen if I touched that. I believe on most roms ,before the newest leak, that option was not there. I'm coming from odin with the newest leak no wipe. Everything is smooth as butter and no problems. This just makes me curious.
Thanks in advance

Your phone will automatically relock the bootloader!

Android os handles the memory well on its own, you don't wanna use task killers.
For freezing or uninstalling bloat you can use titanium backup

one, each person named a different app that will do the job. titanium backup, root uninstaller pro, ROM toolbox, system tuner, all good choices (u only need ONE of the above). that answer clear?
for SMS, the stock default app will work, handcent is good, I personally use a slightly older version of gosms as the new one is bloated.

Instead of making a new thread every 6 hours maybe you should start one thread for all of your issues.
To help you..you need to help us. What ROM are you using? What version of that ROM? What recovery did you use to flash? This might help you to get the answer you are looking for with just a little more info.

How did you flash? Custom recovery or Odin? For the limited time that I was on stock JB 4.1.2 I did not have the issues you are. Best bet would be to backup all your files to a computer and Odin back to stock. That usually sorts out alot of issues.

I was on 4.2.2 cyanogen (i think that's the correct name) and then used Odin to go back to 4.1.2. I have this problem for a while... It happened a couple of times before going to 4.2.2 but not as frequent as now... It's really hard to use my phone without having to lock it and reopen the app I was using...

So it only happens when you use a certain app? If so..I would say the app is causing this and it may not be fully compatible.

Wipe cache and dalvik cache..maybe fix permissions to. If that does not help...Odin back to stock again. Sounds like something got borked in your flashing process (in other words user error).
