Phone Freezing and Won't Start Properly

Hi all,
I recently tried changing the wallpaper on my phone from a live background to regular image. The background went black and the phone froze.
I removed the battery and restarted the phone but it now often freezes on the LG logo. When it does occasionally start up the touch screen will not respond so I cannot get past my lock pattern. If I press the stand by button at the top of the phone, the screen goes off and cannot be turned on again, but the phone is still running - as I can tell this when connected to the computer.
I don't have my phone rooted and do not know much about that. I was hoping there was a way to fix this without having to lose all of my data or root/mod my phone. Otherwise I would be happy just to have my phone working.
Can anyone please help with this problem or tell me why the touch screen will not respond the times it does start up?
Cheers

UPDATE - I started the phone holding the volume button down and went into the recovery mode. I'm not sure exactly which option I then selected, as I hit the home key a couple of times, but I think it was "Clear cache and recovery" or something similar.
The phone managed to start back up with all my apps and photos, etc. Although I had to go through the startup wizard again and sign into the Market, LG World, etc.
Now I have a problem with quite a few of my apps. Whenever I click on them, they start very briefly and then I get the message "The application had stopped unexpectedly. Please try again" and have to force close. This happens with apps such as Adobe Reader, GTA 3 and Viber, so it's not a specific type of app.
I also noticed with the few apps that work, data is missing from some and not others. For example, I still have high scores in one game, but not in another.
Does anyone know what the problem is here or why this recovery is maybe causing this?
Thanks very much

Still haven't fixed this problem if anyone could please help. Most of the apps before the recovery still force close upon starting.
Some of these can be fixed temporarily by moving to phone/SD depending on location, but this only lasts for so long, before I have to move again. Others will open up each time as though it's the first opening of the app, e.g. Do you accept....
Apps downloaded after the recovery seem to work fine.
Any suggestions people?

[Q] Homescreen Button

I'm having an issue with my Nexus 5 after the 5.0 updates. I'm currently on 5.0.1 but had the same issue with 5.0. My device is completely stock. Just never felt like doing anything to the nexus 5. First phone I decided not to root. The issue i'm having is that every once in a while during a day I will try to turn on my phone to view any notifications or just refresh some news sites. Instead of getting the lock screen and hearing the unlock click to slide, i'm taking right to the home screen bypassing the slide to unlock. All applications at this point will glitch. For example, if i open hangouts, it will open but be blank. Spotify might open, or just be a dark gray screen. Other apps just behave very strangely. If I try to press the home button, it lights up and won't do anything. If i press the multi-task button it looks like it will show the running apps but then just shows a blank screen. If I press the back button many times, it takes me back to the home screen which might or might not be blank. The only way around this is to reboot my phone. But this is happening a few times a day. Often, i'll also see the home button and multi task button disappear. I've taken two screen shots of what it looks like. Has anyone ever seen this issue? I don't mind downgrading back to 4.x or rooting for a custom rom if that will resolve this glitch. I can also provide a list of installed apps if anyone wants to know. So what do you guys think of this?

[Completed] Problems with LG Sunrise

Hey guys, I'm having some serious issues with a stock LG Sunrise (LGL15G). My phone was working perfectly fine last night right before I went to bed, however, when I woke up this morning it started to lock up and wasn't responding so I did what any normal person would do and I went to power off and restart. Now when the phone restarted I got an error message saying "Unfortunately, the process com.android.systemui has stopped." I clicked the OK button however the message kept coming back no matter how many times I clicked it. I them proceeded to pull the battery out (the phone was not allowing me to select my power off option while holding the power button) and replace it and start up the phone. This time I got a black background and the same message and if I press it through about 20-30 times it finally disappears however, I can not do anything with the phone none of the options work except for the power option when i hold the power button. I've tried booting into safe mode and was able to work around the error (with extremely quick timing and proper clicking of the setting button and tried to do a reset however it's blacked out according to server policy. This phone is completely stock with no root/custom recovery, and I can not seem to find a way to boot into a stock recovery for this phone. I know that some of the LG phone did not come with a stock recovery installed but I have no idea how I can fix this issue. I know this isn't a support group but I've been having a close to impossible time trying to find information on the LG Sunrise since it's not a popular phone, I just need guidance to anyone who has any information on this and any possible solutions.

It sounds as if you may need to boot to recovery, and preform a factory reset.

[Completed] Lenovo a5000 problem(SOLVED)

Hello everyone, I have just recently bought this Lenovo A5000, everything was perfect until i did a mistake today, just an hour ago. I will list step by step how i encountered the problem below.
1. I did some search on the net about hidden code or secret code for service menu(for lenovo)
2. I found some then i tried this code ####999# then all of sudden the screen changed to multiple [email protected] testing followed by microphone test, then camera test then some other test. It keeps repeating and does not stop.
3.I tried to press whatever key is available along with home menu or multitasking hot key but no avail. It keeps repeating and repeating, Pressing on/off power button also not working.
4. The only things that work is, i was able to scroll down for hidden menu as we do on all android phone. I can go to settings but only settings display etc. I tried to search for the running service test on running programs under the apps menu but nothing. I also tried to press power off/on button here but no avail.(please take note thatthe service test still running at the background during this time).
5.Finally when i tried to close any running systems apps i managed to get into dialling menu. but again i just leave it here because the service test does not seems to work here.
6. Lastly when i look at my phone, it was already black in screen that i believe it was in sleep mode but when i press any button this phone doesnt awake. tried to press the power on/off longer but no avail. unfortunately i cant pull of the battery because it was not removable.
Hopefully anyone of you can suggest me how i can revert it back to normal. Really this is unexpected. I ONLY pressed ####999# and voila [email protected] test started. I appreciate much your help guys. Thanks
NOTE;
I dont know where i get the idea but, as i said above, the phone goes to sleep with no response. What i did a few minutes ago ,
1.Press the power on/off button and keep pressing the volume up several times followed with volume down then release.
Then Lenovo logo comes up, then VOILA! my phone was normal again.
Anyway i will always give a credit to XDA forum for many valuable tips and knowledge that i learned before. Thanks

HELP ME! Help me to solve this problem.

My cellphone is not showing the message "app example has stopped" when some application crashes, why?
In any android devices when some application stops working or does not respond, a message appears saying "app example has stopped working" or "app example is not responding", right?
But in my device, when I open an app that won't probably work, for example, it should show the dialog box saying the app stopped working, then I would click OK and keep using my phone normally - but this dialog box is not appearing and I don't know why.
The unique solution for this is restarting the phone when the application crashes. In addition, my phone breaks the screen but continues vibrating [when I hold the power button, for example] and lighting the buttons [menu and back].
If this dialog box appeared, I would click OK and normally keep using the phone without having to restart.

It will benefit you greatly to inform the viewers of this as to what your 'device' actually is, as that will save some time (I can't sleep so mines currently free. Nonetheless, I am thinking it, whatever it is, is in dire need of a factory reset. I'm sure if you clicked on the search button (at the top >> search plus) and typed your device model into the search box, you may find your current issue(s) or at the very least, the method you will need to backup and reset it.
Good luck
