Issue with certain Settings? Keeps crashing and/or kicking out of app.

Hi all -
Has anyone had any issue accessing the settings marked in the attached screenshot on their Lumia 920? Everytime I try to access any of the marked settings, the phone either crashes (hangs/becomes non-responsive, requiring a soft-reboot) or it kicks me back to the main settings menu after trying to load the particular setting (running dots on a blank screen for a few seconds).
Specific issues:
1. Accessories (Nokia accessories settings) - doesn't open the sub-settings menu; running dots on a blank screen for a few seconds, then kicks back out main system settings menu.
2. Audio (equalizer and Dolby Headphone) - doesn't open the sub-settings menu; running dots on a blank screen for a few seconds, reads "Loading", changes in 2 seconds to "Resuming" then kicks back out to the main system settings menu.
3. Display + Touch (adjust) - doesn't open the sub-settings menu; running dots on a blank screen for a few seconds, then kicks back out main system settings menu.
4. calls + sms (call waiting, forwarding, and sms) - goes to a blank screen with "Loading" for 2 seconds, then errors out: "Please try again later - Sorry, your network settings aren't available right now. Please try again." with an OK box. Click the OK box kicks back to the calls setting, except the screen reads: call waiting - Sorry, blah blah. Need to hit back to get back to main system settins menu.
5. feedback to Nokia (Nokia values your opinion) - hangs the phone, requires a soft-reboot to make phone operational again.
6. Nokia Account (Setup your Nokia account) - goes to a blank screen with "Gathering your options" for 2 seconds, then errors out: "Network problem - we couldn't complete that operation. Please try again later." with an OK box. Clicking the OK box kicks back out to the main system settings menu.
7. Extras + info - this was the same as Accessories (above). Received/downloaded/installed an updatte for "extras" from Nokia this morning - and it now loads with the Policies and Agreements as well as at the version number/enhancements, etc.
Any insight/help would be much appreciated. I have not attempted a full reset - it's a PITA to get everything set up on the phone again, and i'd rather not do it if there's an option not to.
Thanks in advance for everyone's help.

I'm not prepared to speak to the scenario's causing you problems, but I have not experienced it myself. I would like to ask about your PITA comment. Have you tried the backup scenario with Windows Phone? It works fairly well. Though it does not save game data or music, it does recognize all apps and settings, and reinstalls those apps once you supply any required passwords. To me, the biggest PITA is the lack of Screen saving. But with the apps installed for me, arranging the screen is not that bad.
I had the exact same issue and I reset the phone and started again - this time with no issues however I did not do the restore once I reset the phone just incase it copied the bug back again. Done everything from scratch and no issues.

Good point, I have not tried the back-up scenario, for the same reason as the previous poster mentioned - I was worried about the bug replicating itself on the restore, and then I'd be stuck with having to set up all the apps, etc. Which it sounds like I'll have to do anyway, it seems, since that's the next logical step.
Thanks for your comments/replies. Much appreciated.

Stuck in Ultra Power Saving Mode.

I've been using nova launcher for months and finally uninstalled the stock S launcher. Today, I went to put my phone into ultra power saving mode and now I cannot exit it. If I get a notification, I can switch to that app and get into system settings, but I cannot exit ultra power saving mode. Without a notification, I can't even turn the screen off. The home button does nothing (no launcher) and the UPSM toggle is missing from the notification window.
So, my question is- does anyone have the stock APK for the Samsung launcher -OR- know an ADB command or some other way to get out of UPSM?
You didn't say whether you looked at the full quick settings palette or just the selected tiles subset? You should find the power saving tile on the full palette. Also does the phone exit UPSM when you fully charge the phone battery?
If that doesn't work, then just download the firmware for your phone and you can extract the stock launcher with winrar.

There are no settings tiles. After I get a notification, I can pull down the notification screen (not before) and hit the gear to get the settings page. In there, there's only wifi, bluetooth, airplane mode, mobile networks, location, sound, and brightness. There's no way to get rid of UPSM.
Fully charging it didn't work. Fully discharging it didn't work. Wiping cache and dalvik didn't work.
Can you provide a link to the file in question? I'm not entirely clear on your terminology. I thought the firmware was just for the radio and such while the rom had the program files?

Have you rebooted? Usually does it for me.
I tried taking the battery out, restoring my SYSTEM backup from a few months ago, upgrading to a newer version of the stock rom, and nothing works.
Everything I've tried ends up with the phone going back into UPSM with no way to leave it.

If you are using TWRP there is a file manager under advanced. Use that to navigate to the /system/app directory and rename "Emergency" apk to have .back appended to the end after the .apk. This will "hide" it from the system and should disable it. Btw the name of the apk has Emergency in it i don't recall the exact name of it though.

No we can't. And the reason that we can't is that you didn't provide any details about your phone. The firmware is different for every model of S5 and carrier. We don't know if you have a 900T, 900F, 900A or some other S5 version. We can't see your phone and can do little unless you provide extensive details.
Simply go to a firmware site like sammobile, click on firmware and enter the model number of your phone. Or do a search of this forum. Then use the Odin program to write that firmware (factory software) to your phone.

I'm having the same issue on a Verizon S5. Under /system in twrp I don't see anything. Tried chmod but didn't help. Any suggestions?
Apps Drawer
Same thing happened to me. Mine was stuck in between normal and Ultra. I was able to go to my apps drawer, clicked on the gear/settings, found Power then disabled Ultra Power Saving mode there.
I had same issue and I SOLVED it.
No disable option in the notification drawer. Gear 'setting' option (in the notification drawer) only display few setting options (no disable ultra saving mode).
I solve the issue by holding down the HOME button to trigger Google NOW app. In the search bar of Google NOW app, I clicked the microphone button and said "OPEN SETTINGS". This will open the full version of setting window. If you scroll down, you will see the 'POWER SAVING MODE', click it and you will see the disable "ULTRA POWER SAVING MODE" option.
It's a unusual way but it worked.
I also faced the same issue while running Action Launcher 3. Google Now wasn't working for me, so the way I solved it is:
- press and hold the menu button (capacitive button on the left) and select "Manage Apps"
- from the three dots on the top right corner select "Reset app preferences"
- reboot
- pressing the home button showed up "TouchWiz Home", which then allowed me to select "Disable Ultra Power Savings mode"
-done
HTH
I have they same problem with S5 LTE+ on Android 4.4.4. (I hate this ****ing bad Samsung Software!!!!) The above two posts unfortunatly don't work for me because Google Now is not working and Home Button does nothing.
I will try to launch settings due adb if I find a PC to do this (Unfortunatly I'm on holiday at the moment)
Were you able to figure this out? Facing the same issue on my friends phone. Can't believe Samsung would takeover the phone like this.

Best I remember, it had something to do with disabling the stock launcher and I ended up reflashing.
thug_life_inc brought me to my personal solution. I had the problem with the Google Now Launcher. And there is the possibility to go to the app info by placing an app on the home screen, but not dropping it there, but above it (you know the area where you can access app info / delete the app).
That brought me to the settings page for the google app where i could delete the standard launching options.
I had very low battery (maybe 3 or 2%) and then i activated the ultra power saving mode. After a while, the phone battery died, so I recharged it. The problem now is that I got stucked in UPSM. Everything is black and white, I have no acces at any of my apps and the settings is incomplete, I mean I don`t find the "disable UPSM" function. I also cannot factory reset the phone, same reason, I only have acces to wi-fi, bluetooth, volume, brightness and location.
Thank you!!!!

Thank you! It worked for me!
I tried multiple methods include using microphone to trigger Google Now but still nothing in Settings. The idea is trigger the Launcher Picker. here are some notes
Wish I new this sooner, wasted a whole day figuring it out. This fix is way easier
The easy fix - just open the app drawer, drag the google app to app info and drop, clear defaults , when prompted choose you service providers origional default launcher

That is not possible .. in UPSM there is no app drawer or any apps settings.

Tips and Tricks

Post any Tips and Tricks you may know of for the Sony Z3v D6708 model.
I f the phone won't shut down or gets stuck -- open Sim card door, press the off button hidden there (above Sim slot) to shut down phone with a small object, something not sharp.
Settings -> Wi-Fi -> Advanced -> Toggle everything off by "Wi-Fi Optimization.
Turn on NFC and Bluetooth only when needed as it drains battery.

Can we get a thread started dedicated to finding the apps safe to disable? This list is a good start for that.
Isn't the verizon locator agent the cell network location system? Or is it purely spyware...
Wish I knew what some of those more obscure apps actually did.

Seconded on the locator agent, among other nebulous apps.
Maybe killing Wireless Emergency Alerts isn't a great idea? Those are the weather, amber, and presidential emergency notifications.
I've already disabled most of them, I wasn't really sure what else I could disable without screwing something up. Thanks for the list, I will do more tonight.

Eh, when there's a giant tornado coming, I'm pretty sure I'll know what's coming when I see one. LOL
Jk, the real reason is the Amber alerts. Several times I've been alerted for a situation that occurs in a driving distance that's 6-8 hours away from me at 3 in the morning. What kind of BS is this? >_>

You can disable amber alerts in the wireless emergency app.
If anyone else wants to know, our phones can do double tap to wake the screen to reduce wear on the power button. A feature most phones have to get root to add.
And if anyone is taking underwater photography, don't forget to enable No Touch to prevent the screen from spazzing out during your shoots.
Copy number from phone log
Copying number from log is a two step process here. Long press and choose "edit before call" then you can copy it
Try the slow speech effect in call settings. It's amazing tech and sometimes really helpful when dealing with people that talk too fast. There is an article about it here...

Nice tip! I've noticed it always starts one way or another depending where I'm coming from. Right now I'm seeing there's about 4 ways to activate camera.
1. From physical shutter button
2. From lockscreen
3. From Camera app in app drawer or home screen
4. From the Camera widget (not including the other downloaded camera features)
Obviously 1 and 2 is advised not to reset, but the latter two is then what you should use to activate the previous settings.

Now that I understand this camera feature I actually find it useful. Sometimes I want to fire off a quick shot using the short cut to start the camera in SA (superior auto mode) as I don't have time to check settings. Other times it takes a double tap unlock and then selection of the camera app to keep previous settings when I know I have time to think about the shot. [emoji4]
Power the Device Up in Safe Mode - Sony Xperia® Z3v

In case of emergency when your phone freezes and all else is unresponsive
A couple days ago, I was playing asphalt 8 and my phone froze when I tried exiting the game. My power button just pinged the notification ringtone, my camera button played the Cybershot sound but didn't change screen, and I couldn't pick up calls despite my ringtone playing. I thought my last resort somehow was to either wait for the phone to die (sure, waiting 2-3 days is definitely an option here due to battery life greatness, pfft) or use Android Device Manager and factory reset.
Unfortunately I went with the latter and then found out this one incredible tip: a hard reset button. I never knew such a thing existed for our phones and I would like to inform all new users of it too. This is thanks to @jhwookie for the info.
Tlr, there's a slightly brown button found inside the SIM compartment. Grab something such as a toothpick to press and hold onto the button for a few seconds, and voila. The phone will be hard reset to where you were previously.

To make the phone appear faster go to Settings>System>About phone>tap Build number several times till you get Developer options>Drawing>Window animation scale>off,Transition animation scale>off, Animation duration scale>off, x1 is default and x.5 works well too, I prefer "off", don't like animations.
YMMV

THat's good advice for most devices. Smooths out the transitions.
If you guys go into Settings -> Data Usage, you can see which apps is draining the most data. If you want to restrict its background data, select the specified app, and scroll to the bottom to enable the checkbox.
If any of you guys have Snapchat installed, I highly recommend it since it's been noted it takes way too much data since its January 27th update.
Creating new folders in Sony Album
I find that Album isn't completely intuitive when it comes to creating a new Folder to help organize all your pictures. Here's how:
1. From the Album app, swipe from the left side of the screen to open the menu and select "Folders"
2. Open the folder where the picture is currently
3. Find the photo you want to move and long press on it
4. Click on the menu button on the top right of the screen (3 dots), then select "Move to"
5. Click on the plus (+) on the top bar to create a new Folder
6. Name your new Folder and select whether you want it on the SD Card or in Internal Memory

Hi there, so basicly im using a s9+ with pie version and my problem is that i can't download big apps or spotify lists because every time i turn my screen off, it stops downloading or updating apps and stuff.What should i do ? I tried using another wi-fi connection and also clearing caches but no luck.I also couldn't see any settings about wi-fi sleep mode in pie version
Have you tried "Keep WiFi on During Sleep"?
Open up the WiFi menu from the drop down menu at the top of the screen.
Click the three vertical dots at the top right of the screen and select Advanced.
Click View More at the bottom of the screen. Then scroll the screen down to reveal more options.
Tap Keep WiFi on During Sleep and pick Always or While Charging from the three options.

They placed the WiFi power savings mode under developer options now.
Also check to see if Switch to Mobile Data is on under WiFi > Advanced menu. If it is try toggling it off and see if that helps. The Switch to Mobile Data feature has sometimes gotten a little quirky for me and switched my connection from WiFi to cellular when it thought the connection was bad... My connection was fine, but I disabled it since it hasn't always been 100% reliable for me.

Only things I can suggest is to go to device maintenance and change the settings under battery management. You could try disabling any power management options there and see if that helps.
You could also try having your phone plugged in and charging when the games/apps are downloading the additional files.
Myself for games and apps that download additional files I just end up extending the time delay before the screen turns off or enabling the enabling the stay awake when charging (under developer tools). I revert the settings when I am done. In this case the game/app was the cause (not google play because google play was not responsible for downloading the additional files), so that is about the only way I found to make it work... Maybe this will help for you also?

Frequent going to lock screen

My Mi10 5G Indian version phone is now with MIUI 12.2.6.0,The updation was done about 1 week before.Now the phone is experiencing a problem since 3 days.Whenever the phone is using it abruptly goes to the lock screen.I have to open it with finger to get the page I was using.This issue occurs frequently.What is the reason for this and how can it be eliminated?
Disable second space, disable smart cover or delete cache and reboot. (only cache!)

Thanks shivadow.But I have not enabled second space or sp inmart cover.Cache of which app is to be deleted?
All cache of everything. If you go into the security app and select the cleanup option (NOT the deep clean!) DESELECT everything except cache and clean up, then power off and power on.
If that doesn't solve it then you most likely have a rogue app playing shenanigans..

Dear shivadow,
As per your instructions,I opened Security app.Then a page showing Caches, Obsolete apps and other 2 items with ticked boxes appeared.When I tried to untick the boc of Caches ,the item Caches disappeared.However I cleaned the rest of the items and rebooted the phone.Yet the problem of going to Lock Screen still exists.Within per6of one half hours after Reboot,the phone went to Lock screen 2 times.Now another option exists ,ie,Rogue App.How can I find out which is the Rogue App?So please advise whether my cleaning process was correct and if it was not,how can do it correctly.Also what is the process to find out the Rogue App.
Waiting with Thanks for your Advice...
Remove any apps you've installed leaving just the stock ones. I advise making a backup of your data first because apps can remove anything they've created.
You.are sure that you have all lockscreen functions disabled?
