Hello dear forum,
something weird happened to my One S 2 days ago and I would need your help, since I am, not very smartphone-savvy. I will try to describe the problem as detailed as possible.
It is important to mention, that since a few months the phone's USB connection didn't work properly (I can charge the phone on the PC, but it won't be recognised as a device by the PC). Also the phone doesn't seem to have an SC card?? I never really noticed this, but now it puts an obstacle in my way cause there is no easy way to recover my gallery etc.
While I was manually updating my apps (at the time of the happening: WhatsApp and Skype), I suddenly got the popup message "Google Play store stopped working". I wiped recent apps and started the play store again. Suddenly, various apps (Google Drive, Gmail, Play Store, Clean Master, you name it..) all stopped working and I got a huge amount of these "stopped working"- popup messages, including "android.process.acore has stopped working".
It was impossible to get rid of the messages, because they kept appearing over and over again on the screen.
I tried to restart the phone, which didnt fix the problem. It seemed like my apps just kept crashing over and over. I rebooted again after a while and everything seemed fine. My data was also still there and wifi worked too.
But then the phone froze. I tried restarting it via the hardware button. Since then, the phone seems dead. It only starts when connected tot he charger, but always keeps freezing at the "HTC One S" startup screen.
Now I mentioned the USB connection was not working properly even before this happened. I still tried plugging the phone into the PC, and it seemed to be searching for drivers for a certain "QHSUSB_DLOAD".
I have no idea what this means and would like to ask you for suggestions on what to do (or if there is anything I could do at all). I don't have much hope, but the best case scenario for me at this moment would be to have my photos recovered.
Thank you VERY much for your suggestions, it will be hugely appreciated!

So here is what I'm dealing with. A couple of weeks ago apps on my phone kept crashing. I was seeing a constant "Google Play Services has stopped" message and I was completely unable to use my phone. I ended up saying screw it and I did a factory reset.
The problem was still happening after a reset so I figured I should do a full wipe (Dalvik, cache, system, data) and reinstall the ROM (Cyan 11). Unfortunately that still didn't fix the problem.
Since then I've tried everything. I've ran "Fix Permissions" which seemed to work for about a day and then it started again. Sometimes rebooting the phone fixes the issue for a day but it always comes back. It's not always Google Play Services. It seems to be any random app on my phone that starts to constantly crash. Sometimes this happens from the phone's home screen, other times when I go into the app (gmail seems to be a problem more often than not). The phone was also just randomly rebooting, sometimes a few times a day and sometimes when trying to update apps I'll get various errors (package not signed, error 960, etc).
I finally decided that Cyanogenmod might be the problem. I've replaced my recovery (was CWM) but now I have TWRP. I downloaded Paranoid's latest ROM for the S3, did a factory reset, wiped Dalvik, system, data and cache. I also told TWRP to fix the file system in hopes that it would help and then I told it to Fix Permission.
Once I installed the ROM and the Google Apps, phone boots, I sign in....apps start crashing. I'm so lost. I don't know what else to do. Why would a phone that is freshly wiped have problems with apps crashing. This was happen with both Cyanogenmod and Paranoid. I'm running the same version/download of Cyanogen on my gf's S3 and it's been fine. The phone has been rooted since I got it almost 2 years ago and running Cyanogen this whole time. I only switched to Paranoid in hopes it would fix this problem.
Does anyone have any ideas on something I should try? Right now my phone is a pain to use, I'm constantly clearing crash pop ups and then just today it suddenly lost my google account and all my data was gone. No contacts, gmail empty, etc.
Silly but serious question, is play services installed? I've seen several people try to install Google Apps without play services installed and it will give this error without it being installed. I can't produce a screen shot for you as I'm not on a locked bootloader

Well, although I've never specifically installed Google Play Services, it should be part of the Google Apps zip file I'm flashing along with the ROM. This is happening with 2 different ROMs with their respective Google Play App zip files.
I also just checked and it is listed in Apps>All.

Alright, I've seen this issue on several different posts. Just a suggestion, it's worth a try at this point.
Try removing play services from the system file, make a backup first. Reboot and then reinstall the backup you made, it should push it back into data/app

Certainly can't hurt. I'll give it a shot this evening and see if it helps.

By chance did you get a moment to try this?
From my CM11 S3
I didn't. I don't know why but the phone seems to be working correctly now. I don't understand why. I didn't do anything but suddenly things aren't crashing. It's been stable for 24 hours now. I didn't do anything so I don't know why but I'm just holding off until I see a crash. Still confused but glad it's working (except my GPS).
I'm honestly afraid to reboot it now. It hasn't worked this well in weeks. Normally I'll open gmail and get a crash 99% of the time. I reboot and it works for a bit but then starts crashing again. Same thing with other apps. Maybe it heard me talking about wanting to throw it out a window and it's got scared. =)

As long as it works that's all that matters. That is odd that all of the sudden it started just working fine

Yeah, just like how it 'broke'. It was working one minute and then suddenly throwing crashing all over. This phone is possessed. At least I can upgrade in April. If I see the problem return, I'll try the above suggestion and report back.

I know that feeling, I've soft bricked mine more than once. Thankfully I just recently ditched VZW so I'm not locked down to there phones anymore. I kept my S3 and took it with me

After being out for the day, when I went home I changed my battery and when I turned it on, every single program that starts up when you turn the phone on gives an error message, "google Play could not start" "Experia could not start" "viber could not start", Acor could not start" etc etc, I have to constantly press "ok" with all the error messages, when I get it to stop it is only for maybe 10 seconds. It seems to have disabled my logging on to the internet via my carriers sim card, so not internet to check or update programs. There are multiple google app as all not working. I have tried disabling all effected apps however that does not help, I have tried to clear the cache however it will not allow me to do so, it seems I have no ability in any function as soon as I try and go through settings to find some answers, i get the multiple could not open for the same ones that came up before, it is at least 10 error messages some simultaneously, some withing 1-2 seconds and then a 10 second break when it starts all over again. I can not remove any programs. I am wondering if a virus could do this to my phone?
I would appreciate any advice however please remember that I can not use the phone to access the internet anymore.
Hi, thank you for using XDA Assist. I don't know for sure but it could be that when you replaced the battery a power surge caused a corruption of your OS. You might have to return to stock and start over. there is very little information on XDA about your device but i did find thid, http://forum.xda-developers.com/xperia-j-e/general/xperia-jst26i-roms-kernels-mods-how-tos-t2237164 They might be able to help you there.
Thread closed.
After many long attempts to fix this I have come up empty handed. I believe the Hardware is either corrupted or damaged but need an expert to help confirm. (it doesnt even seem worth it at this point to fix, but i want to try anyways, its my kids tablet) I will add as much detail as possible.
First the tablet would get stuck in booting (A9 screen) found that this is due to a corrupted firmware. I flashed a firmware onto the device and it was able to boot up, however still with a few issues. google play store when updated would instantly crash "google play store has stopped" the second you clicked to use it. the only fix i found for this was to uninstalled the google play store update back to factory and it would worked, with the problem of some apps had to be downloaded over and over until it decided to complete, often finishing with a package file invalid. but i managed to get a few games and whatever and gave it back to my daughter.
after about a week everything crashed at once on boot up. process.google.gapps would crash over and over and over as soon as you click ok, many other apps crashing as well and just repeating google account manager, Key chain, RS OTA, and others i cant remember at this time (the problem is currently not occurring or i would go get this information.) mostly the gapps process was crashed over and over making the tablet unusable due to constantly trying to click these errors.
Odd behaviour, during that i managed to click and quickly select settings, and went in and deleted a bunch of apps or uninstalled updates on ones that were crashing, i could uninstalled enough to stop all the errors.. then i rebooted the tablet.. and all the errors were back, and everything i uninstalled was back too, how the f**k?! lol.
i attempted such things as going into recovery and deleting all the cache and media, nothing. so i flashed it again.
the above error return after some time. and i flashed it again (my daughter wanted it working this seems to be my only quick and temporary fix, i have disabled many apps and stopped it from automatically updating, however i still found some settings after being changed, to be undone back to the way it was before i changed it after rebooting the tablet. again it always crashes when google play store updates. this time i rebooted the tablet and went to update the store, and now the app can NOT be found in the store. there does not even seen like a way to update the tablet like "here is your only buggy version, have fun"
CORRECTION: Google Play Store could not be updated because after restarting the tablet the updates were back, as if i had never uninstalled them. i didnt bother checking the first time because this is very unusual.
I am willing to root, change, hack, smash, throw out the window, put it in the hydraulic press at work...i dont care lol
i believe the hard drive has damage.
(i didnt run thru all the attempts i have made to fix things, cause i could write a novel. Thank you for reading.

Hello,
there is this strange issue I am facing at the moment:
When I boot up my phone, there is internet, I can browse via Chrome, I can fetch mails and everything.
But after 10 seconds, 99% of my connectivity is gone. Chrome says, "Oh no! there is a problem with the website" I am trying to visit (every website). Tugabrowser force-closes then, Aqua-Mail tells me the SSL-Certificate is invalid, Youtube just closes without any error. I can search for apps in the PlayStore and see results, but cannot download anything.
It doesn't matter if I try it using the LTE-connection of my phone or using WiFi.
When I reboot the phone, it works completely for the first 10 seconds and then I get the same problems.
To complete the strangeness: WhatsApp and Spotify work every time (I mean even after those 10 seconds, when everything else stopped working).
Help is highly appreciated.
Thanks a lot.
Best regards
Hecke
Sup folks,
so something very annoying is happening on my Pixel 7 Pro.
I first noticed it yesterday when i couldnt get any ,,Press Yes to Sign in,, Prompts on my Pixel 7 anymore.
I then reinstalled the whole phone and everything worked as before.
To explain ,,working as before,,:
- Google One Backup has its grpahical backup with the Loading bar etc
- I can get Sign In Prompts
So this worked up until about 4-2 Hours ago.
I reset cache and Data on Google, Playstore and Google Play Services with Airplane Mode and restarted my Device because i had them on the Zygisk List.
Now its the same as before. I cant get any SignIns and my Google One wont backup and or will just show its bareones UI when pressing backup and even refusing to backup at all.
Oh yeah and going into Settings and Google then pressing on Devices to get the Devicelist just unlimited Loads me.
Im also not able to link my Chromebook at all.
EDIT:
I wanna metion that it now after like waiting some time, did a full backup.
It also showed me the prompt of signin but said it was ,,smth smth expired,, and linked me to my Devices.
The phone shows up all fine in Find my Device too!
But still no Sign In Prompt and chromebook working.... NOR the device tab
Anyone else or just me?
Seems like the Module from @Displax caused this.
Once removed Chromebook worked like a charm.
But it takes some time to break, which is weird.
