Question Setup Issues - SM-R890 - Samsung Galaxy Watch 4

Hey all,
I have a used SM-R890 that I'm struggling to go through the setup process.
It has been completely software reset and I believe the previous owner has run the good old debloat (https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/debloat-galaxy-watch-4.4324147/)
I have tried running the recovery to factory from the boot menu as well as clearing cache.
The setup will show on my phone and let me get as far as about 87% of the setup process then try and re-pair the watch on Bluetooth.
Can anyone think of another way that I can get this back to complete factory or any other work arounds?

Were all the "debloated" apps restored?
Also did you try force closing galaxy wearable app and clearing data?

Sony Xperia Z5 System update and apps not working now phone won't start

I have a Sony Xperia Z5. This morning I did a system update and my Google Store and Services stopped working. I went to the help site and did what I was instructed to do. Now I can not open my phone. The messages are Unfortunately, the process com.android.phone has stopped and the other message is Unfortunately, System UI has stopped. Any suggestions on how to fix this? Thanks in advance.

I too am in the same situation phone has the same posts regarding Google play services have stopped working and the UI has stopped, I can't get into my phone or shut off my alarm...
Simple . Do a factory reset whenever you upgrade the system firmware. Easy as 123. Hope that helps..

Expect people have been reporting that factory reset in this case makes it worse.
Now for some SystemUI crashes, leaving the phone unusable.

Have you wiped both the cache and dalvik cache in custom recovery??? If not. Give that a go, and let me know how it turns out.

It won't turn out well I'll tell you that.
Because the phone is not rooted.
It was an OTA update.
And before you ask. There is currently no way to root my phone.

Yeah, Then if you're phone is completely stock, with OTA updates, Doing a factory Reset and Cache Clean SHOULD fix the problem .. i dont see why it wouldn't unless its incompatible with your phone, but thats highly doubtful..
EDIT:: Try this, Go in to Settings>Apps>Google PLay Services> Clear Cache
Then Settings>Apps>System Apps>System UI>Clear Cache.
Reboot Device..
Good Luck!

There are a couple of discussions already. I've also called Sony support about it. They say they are aware of the issue and are working on a fix. In the meantime they recommend downloading Xperia Companion and doing a software repair. That being said, some people report that factory reset fixed it, others say that neither factory reset nor software repair fixed it. In some cases factory reset or software repair
I personally tried manually installing latest APKs, clearing data etc. The only thing I was able to achieve so far is getting rid of constant error popups by disabling google play services in settings > apps
Some have reported that doing a factory reset makes it worse.
So now I'm sitting tight and waiting for further developments.

@TheTecXpert
Clearing cache on apps doesn't work
Factory reset in some cases makes it worse.
Can't clean dalvik cache without root.
Can't even get the device into bootloader
Really, I think we just sit and wait for Sony to fix this

Yeah i'm speaking from a rooted device point of view my apologies.. Because I am actually rooted, i Dont have any errors.. But if Sony In indeed Aware of the problem and are currently working on a fix,
then i gues that'll be your best bet and just wait for sony to pull through..
Which they always do

android.process.media has stopped, help?

Hello guys, I have this s7 duos (gt-g9305fd) (UAE), I rooted it about a week ago and everything was going okay, but yesterday while I was playing with developer options I turned on OEM lock/relocked it, and then after the phone restarted I got this message "Custom binary blocked by FRP lock", I searched for solutions online and I read that I have to flash the stock rom to fix the issue, so I did (Indian Stock Rom). After that, I booted it up and got several "x is responsive messages" (android.process.media, my files, Google x, Google y, Google z) so I thought it's a permission issue so I rooted it again, but that doesn't seem to fix the issue .. Is there a way to fix this?

Try to go in and force stop android.process.media and cmlear its data and reboot. If that does not work jreinstall stock firmware with odin.

How can I force stop android.process.media, what app is that? Also, I did flash stock firmware and that's the only reason I'm getting these errors.. I'm guessing it has to do with Google * apps or some stock app(my files gets unresponsive too, also can't see anything from gallery/my files)

My s7 crashes (app/UI has stopped) whenever I try to connect to new wifi network...

The problem appeared after upgrade to nougat. I tried factory reset, it was ok for the first hours and now, the problem returned.
Anyone facing the same problems?
Phone not rooted, running on official rom and problems occurs even in safe mode....

Hi
How did you upgrade?
OTA , flashing??
If OTA did you upgrade al your apps , maybe one of them is making trouble
If flashing , how? and also did you upgrade your apps
Hey, thanks for the answer. It was OTA. I suppose all apps are up to date since I restored to factory settings and re-installed them.
The problem is still there even in safe mode...

Hi
yeah is odd , i would think it has to be app related .....
When you get the error ..after you introduce the password? what about if you ask your phone to forget your old connection , it allows you to connect to the new one then?
I would try to wipe dalvik and cache from recovery and /or reflash stock rom again..maybe something went wrong at least the modem

I tried to wipe the cache with no success. I am on a trip right now, and I cannot wipe the dalvik for the moment.
I figured out a walkthrough though using a third party app called "WIFI manager". I even managed to install a certificate and use it for a connection to an "eduroam" network...

Question Help ! No wifi and bluetooth scanning

Hi friends,
Since yesterday, my wifi and bluetooth don't work anymore. When enabling them, it scans nothing . I've made a factory reser without any psuccess !
Never seen an issue like this on any phone...
Thanks for your help guys
Have you tried restarting the phone? I had 1 time yesteday too, suddenly, the phone was idle, and when I checked Wifi found nothing. Restarted and then it works again. Not sure if related to March update or some other stuffs

Wow...after a factory reset, that's pretty much it!
You can try doing the reset network settings button (you can search it in the search bar in Settings or find it in the Internet setting on top right button [wrench and reset circle]), but I can't imagine it doing better than a factory reset.
The best/last thing that can be suggested, since it states you are rooted in your sig, is to flash the latest Full Factory image (March) and/or with the "-w" intact (since you stated that you did a factory reset so I imagine your phone is wiped anyways) and see if that doesn't fix the issue. The best 3 methods to achieve this is using the online Android Flash Tool, the tool PixelFlasher that can be found here on XDA, or manually using platform-tools (you must've used one of these in the past to be rooted, so I assume you're familiar).
Hopefully you get it figured out. Worst case, the phone is still under manufacturer's warranty and you should be able to get it replaced with a refurbished if it truly isn't resolved...

Yesterday I dirty flashed March update bmand disabled verity stuff. It forced me to format data. Is it enough or is there a better clean flash way ?
Btw I tried the reset network thing without success

Mmmm...when you stated you "factory reset", it wasn't clear whether it was from the OS system setting or when flashing...
I don't think there is a "better clean" way to flash and/or reset the phone. If you're not flashing/sideloading OTA (which you aren't)...
It (reset network) was a very long shot, but worth exploring just in case it hadn't been tried yet...
I mean, I guess you can try Android Flash Tool and even go as far as to flash to both slots and relock bootloader to get a pure, stock status and see if the problem truly sticks that way. You've already wiped the phone, so I doubt this could hurt or you lose anything important at this point. But I can't imagine dirty flashing the latest March update (or even including disabling the verity stuff) wouldnt've addressed or reset things to set the issue straight...
If it's still there after relocking the bootloader and flashing to both slots, then it's warranty exchange time (if you ever want to resolve the issue)...
*most likely the flashing somehow wrecked the system board radio enough...
If/When this works, you'll need go through the trouble of unlocking the bootloader, and reflashing the Full Factory image with disabling the verity & validation stuff, before rooting again.
Ok I think it's a hardware problem. When I shake my phone, I hear something moving.
I dropped it from my bed saturday night. The wifi module must be disconnected.
Let's send it to Google....

Are you sure that what you are hearing move when you shake the phone is just the OIS for the camera? All phones with OIS will make some noise when you shake them.

I don't know my friend. Google will send me the return process tomorrow. They told me 7 to 10 days for repairing. Why did I sell my old oneplus ?

I have had several OnePlus phones and they have all been great for me! However, I am having no problems with my 7 Pro either so....YMMV
