Settings Has Stopped - Samsung Galaxy S8+ Questions & Answers

I just got the latest Android Oreo Beta update last night and since then I can't get in to my settings. Anytime I try to enter settings from anywhere I get an error that says Settings Has Stopped. I have wiped cache and I entered Safe Mode and the error was still there. Has anybody else had any luck with anything else. I am getting desperate.
Thank You

Conflicts of data.... If you can backup your photos/contacts etc with a good backup app and then do a factory reset.

I can back up my data using Smart Switch correct?

A hard reset did fix my issue. Thank you.

[Q] [ISSUE] freezes while phone is in stand-by and while using apps

hey all,
on friday I rooted my NS again to check out cm7 rc1. before i was totally stock @ 2.3.2. friday evening i wanted to show my iphone friends the nexus s with cm7. the first one took it and did take some photos. then he smiled and gave it back to me. force close: SORRY: Android.process(???) has stopped unexpectedly.
this error was looping all the thime. i pressed okay and one sec later it was there again. i tried to flash the rom again in recovery, but the error was still there. i did date and cash wipes and some factory resets and then the error was gone.
on sunday i was travelling home on train and suddenly the error was back. i tried again some wipes and then i deceided to restore my nandroid backup. so i was back on 2.3.2. during sunday afternoon and evening i got these errors:
- NS is freezing while it is in standby... if i grab the phone and want to unlock it but the display keeps black -> i have to put out the battery..
- NS is beside my keyboard and suddenly all four buttons are on. display is still black. unlock not possible--> battery again
- NS is freezing while using facebook or twitter app
today... i unrooted it again and went back to a nandroid (2.3.1) guided _here_.
after unrooted again NS wanted to update to 2.3.2 which i confirmed.
about to hours later the errors i explained came back.
am i the first one who bricked NS?
please give me some help how to get it back working correctly, because i love this phone so hard.
I did another factory reset and now the phone is hanging at the google Logo. The four buttons are powered.
This is looping, too.
Yesterday I tried some things to kill these errors. I did:
- factoy reset (in settings menu)
- fastboot erase userdata 2x
- wipe cache, wipe data, wipe devliak
Today the phone was with out a problem, but just a moment ago I wanted to unlock it by pressing the power button but the display didn't react as usal. It is still black and the only thing I can do is to take out the battery....
Last step I can do is to send it back to my girlfriends sister in US so that she can bringt it to Samsung US to get it serviced.
"bricking" the phones involves the phone not being able to turn on or do anything, period. your phone isnt a brick. after doing a "factory reset" you want to reflash whatever rom you are using. it seems like youre having problems with a bad app or some bad data.
thx simms22. i just flashed the newest cm7 nightly with rom manager (incl. wipe). i set up all my apps and 20 min later the error come.
to figure out if it is a bad app problem i do a factory reset now and won't log into google account and see if the error appears.

i did a factory reset and skipped google setup after first boot.
i just entered sim code and let nexus s in idel mode.. about 15 mins later the four buttons were lightened but i couldn't unlock the phone. battery out... and i could power it on.
so it's some kind of bad data problem? but how to find and/or clean this bad data? thx again for your help.
edit: I found a lot on google for "full wipe bad data". I'm reading now! But I may have to ask you something
edit2: in recovery (cwm3.0.0.5) I did: format system, format data, format cache and format sdcard. then i mounted usb and copied this nandroid 2.3.1 to it and flashed it. I booted and installed system update 2.3.2. now testing again without apps.
edit3: the hole day no problems. I only installed twitter and in the evening 2.3.3 manually. This morning again the phone was not unlockable. I had to take out the battery... on my way to work I did a wipe from stock recovery but shortly later the phone freezed while I used the slider to unlock it. oh man that sucks I thought it was fixed.
I make some coffee now and start google'ing. If you have some tipps, please throw them to me.
maybe reflashing radio?

im going to have you try wiping once again. wipe data/factory reset. only this time reupdate to android 2.3.3 right after the factory reset in recovery. dont boot after wiping, update after wipe, then reboot.
--> stock recovery -> wipe / factory reset -> reflashed update (ota2.3.3) -> testing now without installing apps
thanks simms!
Edit: the phone got a freeze while I wanted to unlock it -.-
Edit2: I'm testing now in airplane mode. Maybe the error doesn't come...

im now thinking it might not software related. if it was software, a wipe and reupdate should have fixed it. maybe you should check into a warranty replacement. .
In airplane mode the error is there, too.
Okay thx 4 ur help. I'm starting a service request. Bad day -.-

the only other thing i can think of that might cause something like that after wiping is something bad on your "sd" storage. copy everything you need off your "sd" storage and try wiping that.

I think I allready did this? Or do you talk about this 1gb sd. If so, how to format this one?
Could I find something usefull with logcat?

According to this thread I think you will have to get it replaced:

[Q] Network Problem? Phone Problem?

I recently bought a rooted Nexus s (GSM), and everything was fine until I powered off the phone. When I re-powered the phone, the mobile data didn't work, and the phone kept harassing me with the notification "sorry! the process com.android.phone has stopped unexpectedly" and made me force close it. and when I do press force close, the notification would pop up again instantaneously until I got tired of it and ripped the battery out.
The phone is currently running on NSCollab-1.0.35 ROM.
I tried hard-resetting the phone, but when I try to do it (via hard key reset and through settings->privacy-> etc) it would get stuck on the black google boot page and wouldn't budge. I can't even get to the recovery page.
I also tried to flash clockworkmod, then fix the permissions, and then reboot the phone, but that also failed.
The only way to stop the phone from harrassing me with the sorry notifications is to put it in airplane mode.. which certainly does not help my case. Please help! I will be eternally grateful.
Ok the reason this is happening is because you used the "switch from 3G to 2G" widget. You should've read the bugs when you downloaded the nscollab. Btw I use nscollab and I love it.
I fixed it by just wiping cache and just reinstalling the ROM.

decryption problem / camera problem

Hello,
Im trying to remove the encryption on my Xperia XZ but it doesn't seem to go away.
Even when i factory reset the phone and skip all steps of the setup process, it's still encrypted.
Anybody knows what I can do? a little help is well appreciated.
Also my camera doesn't work anymore, it's just giving me the error "camera is being used by another application" ,
I tried resetting the app, wiping cache and wiping data. No results there.
Thanks!

One UI update - accessing recovery menu!

Hi I have just installed the latest update from settings - software update, with Jan security patch but when I turn off and restart holding power and up, it no longer goes to system boot menu which allows you to clear cache or factory restart.
I also have an error once restarted :
pdp back up fail set up wizard.
Any ideas?
Is there a way to reinstall the update or finding another way to clear app partition or am I forced into a factory reset?
thx
Hm, just checked and same here.
Did you try to do that using adb?

No it was a forced update through software update settings. Just done a factory reset (what a ballsache) and its still the same with same error with no access to clearing cache partition.
There is now a requirement to plug in the power before you can access the recovery menu. Works as just tried.
Confirmed by Samsung Members app incident which i logged.
