Hi all,
Simple question/dilemma I have: I have recently done a factory reset on my phone for other software glitches and just re-rooted my phone with the ping pong root. And while going through all my settings to customize the phone to my liking I ran into an issue with being able to enable call waiting on my settings. There's really nothing more to it, in the settings options I click the button and it does nothing, no errors, nothing. I feel dumb asking this, but I can't figure it out, I have no apps disabled at this point.
Thanks!

Hi,
i did something very bad; played along with quick settings on my HD2 and by mistake turned off background lights.
Any idea how to get it back on?
I'd be very thankful,because I don't wanna reset everything because of this
Tried restarting the device, but no change.
Thanks
So my phone stopped being able to use a few apps, specifically my VOIP and Speedtest app. Since I have been relying on the VOIP for all of my talking, I decided to try and do a reset. Go into settings, to do the reset.... "settings has closed". After a few attempts, reboots, and cursing. I powered down the phone and did the three finger salute to factory reset. Long and short, bad idea. Now, my VOIP works, but that is about it. I cant lock the phone, I cant use the home or switch app buttons, no audio notifications, no icons in the top bar, nothing in the window shade... etc etc.
The phone has stock 4.4.2, been working fine since kitkat instal. I was thinking about using this http://www.droidrzr.com/index.php/topic/45494-fxz-442-1834610/ to see if I can just re-load kitkat... not sure if that is a good idea.
I am worried the phone is toast, any ideas?

you can try that. there arent too many bad ideas at this point. if the phone is unfixable (i doubt it) it wont matter.

YUP! that did it, well, it is back up and updating for eternity, but it is running and so far, everything functions as it should.
Thanks for backing up my thoughts!
I've got a brand new Galaxy S6 (unlocked), running 5.1.1 - I dial it, it rings, but there's no way to pick it up. I wake the screen (as its just black) - standard lockscreen, unlock, standard launcher - there's no dialler popup to answer the call or anything.
Please help, I've dug through all the options and can't find anything that might be causing this, I haven't yet factory reset as I spent a load of time customising everything before noticing, sigh.
Any clues to how I can debug this? Anyone seen this before? Mighty frustrating.
Thanks!
Nevermind, have managed to resolve by clearing the cache for all 3 Phone apps (why is there 3?!) - very odd, hopefully it doesn't reoccur

What setting button?
And which rom?
I had never heard this issue before some users are reporting such issue that my settings app is gone because android showing its a harmful app just like miexplorer actually its not harmful but android security system showing its harmful and asking about to unistall it. Like the same i think android setting is an inbuilt application so its asking about to disable it and if someone done that then its getting invisible.

Would someone tell me solution?

I have backed up all my files and went to 33R.
Seems Google settings is seeing 'Settings'' as harmful??
So I used Kingo Root to root and Myandroidtools to look at the shut down apps to restore it. A must have to root to fix this.
And also these functions will prevent future notifications.
sorted so can be locked.
so I am an Idiot,
I had this issue with my headphones on my phone that google would pop up on random times to ask me wether I needed help from the voice support thingy.
So I looked up some video's on how to fix it and most videos said to just disable/delete the google app from my phone in App manager.
Everything went OK but when I wanted to go to my home screen, an error popped up saying there was no home screen...
I'm like; 'What the hell?!?'
so I turned off my device completely just to discover it wouldn't boot up correctly when I started it again.
now I am stuck with only my bootloader and I can't get back to factory mode, I did not root my device for any of your interests
pls help someone who knows something that might help me
Go to recovery when turning device on and from there do a factory reset?

So you did something in settings, or are you rooted and used some app to delete stuff? The answer to your problems really depends on what you did.
As a quick fix, log into your Google account via a PC and find Nova Launch (or some reputable launcher) and push it to the phone, once it installed press Home and it should ask you to select your Home screen and make sure to tick "Always".
The real problem here is you tried to a fix a problem that didn't fixing, just a quick settings change... A quick thread started here would have probably got the quick answer of turning of Google Assistance Anywhere to fix the problem without messing anything up.

Hi, I did not root my this device and did not delete the home screen from TWRP, just from the application manager. but it's more than just the home screen. I said I've tried to restart the device but when I was booting it up again, I only saw the Motorola logo loading for like 15 minutes.
It does connect to my PC and it recognizes the device, but I can't find it in File Explorer.
I might try to install Nova launcher, just to see if it works or not.
thanks for the reply though

If your not rooted you couldn't have deleted the app needed, only disabled it. Pull down the notification shade twice (or with 2 fingers) and tap the settings gear, scroll to Apps, then scroll to the bottom where disabled apps would be listed and re-enable everything and reboot. If that still doesn't work, push Nova, and as a last resort you can perform a factory reset.

I don't think u get what I'm saying, I can't boot up my phone so I can't swipe down and go to the settings. thus leaving me with a useless phone.

When I do that, it does the same thing as if I didn't. I don't really know how to push applications from my PC to my phone. Maybe I can try to redownload the google app through pushing.

Glad you got it working but I am a little confused...
Either way, it's like a wise man once said "It doesn't matter if it's duct tape or tie wraps, fixed is fixed". :highfive:
