[Q] Help Stuck on Samsung logo & multi force close

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

What ROM?

stock. but I used cwm & restored... Only points of concern... The only two things that I did... uninstalled xda & Tapatalk... updated titanium & supersu this afternoon...
Everything was force closing.. No keyboard.... Really strange!
So at the moment it's fine... But WEIRD!

I'm guessing the permissions got all wacked out.

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

I'm guessing superuser. Probably needed to fix permissions

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!

May get a GS3 cause I'm crazy. Couple questions though

I may get a GS3 but only if I can do a couple things ...maybe one thing. Can we remove the annoying, persistent WiFi notification in a stock ROM that's rooted and clockworked? Thank you!

Yea. I'm running Beans latest ROM n I don't get that notification
Sent from my SCH-I535 using Tapatalk 2

There is also a dialer code you can type in that will give you the option to turn it off.
Why would you need to be crazy to get a GS3?
Edit: IIRC it still shows up in the same spot after the code, but it shuts up about saying you should use Wifi and such
(been a while since stock, my bad)

I've read of some XML edits that can remove it but it'd need to be stock. I run stock, rooted so it'd need to be removable from the stock ROM. I wouldn't wanna see it in my notification bar or the pull down. And crazy cause I've had about a dozen phones in a year. I have a problem.

Yes, I'm also stock and rooted and i removed it, as well as that stupid popup about known networks in range.

Oooo fancy! How did you achieve that? Is there a guide you followed that you can link to or clue me in? Thanks!

The last update took it off for me. Haven't rooted yet and was prompted for the update I took it and after the reboot the WiFi notification was gone.

Jelly bean problem

Hey guys i got one annoying issue and maybe its just me? I installed three different Jb builds, one was odin flash and other two were flash zips. Now my problem is that when i recieve a txt or missed call, and i wake the phone i get that (swipe across) tutorial message every time it wont go away no matter what i do. It comes back every time. Wtf
Any ideas are appreciated.
And yes i deselected the box in lock screen settings
Sent from my SCH-I535 using xda app-developers app

I assume you're talking about jelly bean touchwiz, and based on what i know about touchwiz (haven't used it in a month or two) i believe there is a setting to turn off the tutorial messages.

Try freezing Help. I've never had the problem, but that's what I've heard has been people's fix.

Im on the official leak odin version. Ive tried all the settings with no luck

Like others said freeze help. Also go into settings, lock screen, and uncheck help box.

Boot manager

Is there a blue folder available for the s3? I'm using the Galaxy mod ROM now and really like it but I'd like to keep checking out new rooms. Is there a convenient way to boot up another rom without having to wipe out what I'm running?

It gets me all the time too! But as of now there is not, there are some in the works from what I hear. So right now the easiest way is to make a backup and flash then just restore when you're ready to go back
Sent from my VS920 4G using xda app-developers app

Yes unfortunately no Boot Manager yet. Init2winit apps is unable to support the app anymore. The good news is that they are currently trying to find a reputable dev to take it over. Hopefully someone will.

I was really excited when it came out for the droid x. I bought it and really never used it, it just didn't work right. Cool idea but never work for me. I am sure the dx having a locked bootloader really held it back.

Thanks for the feedback. i used safe strap 3 for my motorola razr it allowed you to create a seperate boot partition,boot into recovery and choose the active-one . Is there something similar?

No there isn't, but it you just make a nan of your stock system before flashing it is basically the same thing

Can't send text messages or make calls

I just installed a test build of eclipse 3.1 and when I restored my backup of galaxy mod I couldn't send texts or make phone calls. I wiped everything and installed again with no luck. I have data though. Any help would be appreciated greatly! Do i need to Odin back to stock and start over?

I was hoping that I could fix it without having to odin.

Did you go through another activation screen when flashing back?
Also verify your imei.

You could follow the instuctions on how to get your data back after flashing a 4.2.1 rom. Its in here somewhere, I'll post it when i'm on my computer.

You could also do this if Eclipse was a JB 4.2.1 rom...
