This is a new problem ive had since last night. Last night, since i turned on wifi and then attempted to play the family guy game... i thought it was the game that was messed up. I went to play it, phone froze, fair enough, held down the power button to do a reset... it booted, but as soon as i put in my security pattern, it froze on that pattern. Pulled battery out, and put back in, and STILL froze on pattern.....
ended up taking the SD card out, getting in enough to turn off wifi.... froze. reset again. went into recovery and cleared cache, froze shortly after i put my pattern in
it was just rediculous!!
i hadnt tried the wifi again until just now.... i wanted to go into the store to leave a bad review for the game... but it seems to be for some reason my phone. the store was half way into loading and it froze.... so i rebooted, it froze on lock... rebooted again... managed to get the wifi off and it seemed okay, but i restarted it thru the actual menu for good measure and it seems okay now.
but the question is, WHY???
same ROM, same phone, nothing new downloaded in about 3 weeks or so...... i was just trying to play a game over wifi..... normally i keep wifi and data off with just network connection for calls and texts.... but ive never had any problems wtih it freezing up for just toggling the wifi before, this is a new problem with nothing new on the phone as the cause. I hadnt even connected it to my PC in a week or so, for it to pick something up via USB that was bad.....
what can i do??
I would really appreciate help on this matter.... nothing new on my phone.... it still freezes after the wifi radio turns on...
the most recent time my home screen froze but i was still able to pull down the bar and turn off the wifi radio before a total freeze..... had to reset it again......
it works fine until wifi turned on since last night... no new updates, no new games.... no new anything so im REALLY confused!!!
Im trying restoring to a previous backup i have from CWM..... un fortunately from a year ago so its gonna take me forever to get things back the way i had them...
if this doesnt work i really dont know what else to do....
tried wiping the cache and dalvik cache, and still ntohing....... i wanted to get in to clear out some of the wifi network names... but you need wifi on... and well guess what happens.... friggen phone.....
OMG i am so flaming angry now.... ITS STILL HAPPENING!!!!
did backup, seemed fine so i reinstalled everything i wanted.... was fine yesterday and the night before wth wifi.... now its doing the SAME GODDAMN THING!!!!
i could really REALLY use some help with this!!!

I have a Fuze.
I feel SO LOST without having instant messaging in my pocket. Anyway, yesterday suddenly the internet on my phone stopped. I switched back to 3G and everything was okay, and a little later on I went back to HSDPA, but nothing fixed Beejive's sudden not working-ness. I deleted it, I deleted the program file folder, reinstalled, tried on 3G and H... nothing. Opened Opera, opened IE, nothing will make it work.
So, can I get any help here? Or should I just flash my phone and start over?
Well, I'm not sure what happened but my Phone, Contacts, and Calender are not opening at all. I have been trying to get the gps working reliably for a few days. Yesterday all day I could barley get my location but a couple of times. The phone restarted a couple of times when i would open and try to use Google maps. Also, all day the screen would go blank and would be totally unresponsive except for a soft reset.
Last night I installed this iphone ui here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=508429
(figures, i know) j/k-lol. No particular reason but, I don't think the program was the cause.
I tried it for a couple of hours then uninstalled it.
It wasn't till this morning when I woke up that my Today clock said "no service". Usually says "US Cellular". The Touch pro will light up for a call but I cannot answer. (talk button doesn't respond at all) I CAN connect to the internet so I have a data signal (EV on taskbar). GPS did not find any satellites but thats been a problem.
UM..

Haven't hard reset yet. Figured I'd check here first!
You have several underlying issues here. Doesn't sound like they will be resolved without a hard reset.
Well, at least the hard reset went good!
I'm just not sure why it started acting up! Guess I just wanted to see if I could find out what it was. I'm pretty baffled about what could have caused it.
Oh well.
and thanks!
Ugg!
Still can't get the GPS to work!! What is the trick with getting the GPS to work on these touch pro's??
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
From my CM11 S3
Let me start off by saying Im not a n00b at this stuff by any means...I did however decide to go cell phoneless for a couple years, so Ill admit Im probably way behind on everything, but I usually dont have any problems. I got my S5 brand new around Christmas, it had 4.4.4 already loaded on it. I decided instead of going crazy like I did with my GS2 and Vibrant, wanting to customize every aspect of it, Id keep it simple, root it, debloat it myself and be done with it. I rooted it no problem, but everytime I rebooted my phone Google Maps and S Health would force close repetitively, until I went into the priv-app folder and reinstalled Health Services and same with Google Maps. Theyd work fine until I rebooted then it was a rinse was repeat situation every time. I updated to Lollipop through Odin, Rooted it, same issue, same 2 apps. While its not The worst problem to have, it is very tedious. So for the time being, Im unrooted, and I really hate the 734 apps sprint preloads on their phones, and Id like to change a couple things in the build.prop, but Im going with the less annoying option for now. Anyone else have a similar or even the same issue?
Also I guess I should mention Ive tried doing a full Factory Reset, wiped cache and dalvik, and before I have time to login to sync my accounts to my phone, if its rooted they force close over and over.

Is this when you are simply rooted? Or after you have debloated? If so, maybe you removed or disabled something important.
I have tried to keep it simple so far as well. I updated to Lollipop OTA. Even though I took the normal OTA update something about the phone was not right. Maybe some old settings or data causing problems. I did a full data wipe and then flashed this stock ROM. It is Deodexed and has a few things removed, but it mostly stock. I also ran the Debload tool included in that thread to rid myself of all of the Sprint apps. The phone has been super stable and smooth.
This happens once its rooted before I remove anything. I learned a long time ago to be careful what I remove, lol. But like I said, once the phone boots up before I even have the chance to set it up S Health and Google Maps force close and continue to do so until I go into the folder I believe its /system/priv-apps/ and reinstall the Health Service and same with Google Maps. and Ive wiped the phone clean, clearing it of any settings. I knew it wouldnt work, but figured I had tried everything else, but I even tried moving them to my external sd. I guess its just one of those things, Ill either figure it out or just keep it unrooted for a while.
That doesnt mean if someone has any ideas I dont want to hear them though.
So I have had this problem before a year or two ago, I tried everything and had to reset my phone to factory settings to get it fixed. The problem is now back and I'd like to avoid having to reset the phone as its just a huge pain in the ass to set it all back up. I get notifications late from whatsapp and it keeps losing connection to webwhatsapp (wifi or via 4g). Only way to reconnect is to unlock my phone. I have checekd all the settings, reinstalled whatsapp and the problem occurs out of nowhere as I didn't change any settings in my phone, didn't update my phone.
I'm hoping a wizard here has any suggestions as a last resort.
Kind regards, a desperate stranger.
edit: running android 8.0
edit2: reset the phone and the issue is still there.
