LG G3 "Unfortunately System UI has Stopped" - Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi!
I have a problem with my lg g3. I cannot access anything in my interface because window with "Unfortunately System UI has Stopped" pops up all the time. Rebooting doesn't help. I don't have USB Debugging turned on and I can't turn it on. I know that i can recover to factory settings from the boot but i will lose my contacts. Rest of the important files are fortunetlly on sd card so there is no problem wiht that. How can I get those contacts? and even if i lose them can I recover them after. I don't have backup of them on google account. I didn't do anything to the system no rooting or custom recovery everything is stock.

Were you able to find solution to this?

[Q] Can't Detect Sim Card - Software Issue

Hi
I recently installed Touchpal Dialer to replace the Android Stock Dialer (Phone). I then used Titanium Backup to uninstall the stock dialer. (I only select Phone and pressed 'Uninstall'). However in the process of uninstall, something crashed (some process stopped working) and I was stuck on Force Close (which repeatedly pops up).
So to return to Android I rebooted. However the phone can no longer detect the the SIM card (and hence the network). I tried to access Settings>Call, but I get the error "The application Settings (process com.android.settings) has stopped unexpectedly".
My first thought was to restore Phone using Titanium Backup, but this seemed to be stuck (or at least it was taking excessively long >20min).
Then I reinstalled the rom but that doesn't affect the files required to detect the sim card.
How do I fix this and get my phone to be able to dial again?
Any and all help is much appreciated.

If there was a point in time when everything was working and then one change was made, the stock dialer was removed, then things stopped working, the solution would be to revert back to the working point in time.
Curious, what guide suggested the removal of the stock dialer?
As a side note, before removing files it is always best to either make a complete backup, nandroid, or to at least backup the specific file being removed so it can be quickly and easily replaced.
The main issue here seems to be the removal of the stock dialer. On the technical side of things, the dialer is a very integrated component of Android.
In AOSP, which all ROMs to some degree are based off, the dialer apk file contains not only the dialer but also browsing of contacts and links in on the back end with a few files.
Once you restore the Dialer, I think called phone.apk or something similar, the issues should go away such as FC. If there are issues accessing the SIM card after restoring the previously removed file, off the top of my head, my best guess would be to clear out the settings stored on the data partition. A setting could have been created during the dialer removed state which might prevent the system from restoring proper SIM access.
Hope that adds a bit more detail around the standard process of removing files and making adjustments!
Cheers thanks, much appreciated.
Largely the guide of my ignorance that decided to remove the stock dialer. It's only in the last half hour or so that I've just come by a guide that specifically says to *not* remove the stock dialer. In the first instance I thought it wouldn't be such a big deal as Titanium Backup could always restore it ... in which it turned out it couldn't.
So after all's said and done, is there a way (apart from Ti Backup) to restore just the stock dialer phone.apk (say by download or other)?
Another approach I'm considering is to find a way to flash a custom / stock ROM to fix this. However as my phone is unbranded and on HBOOT 1.49.0018, I'm finding this very difficult with the standard methods posted. On the other hand, ideas are starting to run out and desperation running high!

I have had this happen to me a few times, this mostly happens when you apply a mod/tweak to a rom that is not compatible. Do a wipe and re-flash the rom that you want and it should fix the problem.
Thanks so much for this, that's fixed it.
Re wiping, since you can wipe from the Recovery and installation of the rom wipes before flashing anyway, is it necessary to use a wipe img? If so, what is recommended? (As I'm on HBOOT 1.49, I seem to only be able to run CWM 4.0.1.4 Shooteru Recovery).
ROM not booting
Looks like I've dug myself into another hole again.
The 'Sim Card detection' problem was fixed with a wipe from CWM 4.0.1.4 and flashed with ShaWn3D v1.4 rom. Everything works and I was happy.
But I was keen to try out the LeeDroid rom but the WiFi error keeps recurring despite my attempts with the solutions provided at
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1248838.
I've tried:
- re-flashing LeeDroid with so many versions of bcm4329.ko I've lost count
- reflashing the kernel with the LeeDroid kernel addet
- re-flashing another rom altogether (King Cobra v1.9) to see if it makes a difference; it doesn't - WiFi persists.
So now I've decided to go back to the ShaWn3D rom but now although the flash is successful, the boot is stuck at the white HTC splash screen.
What have I done wrong?

Galaxy S4 - DPI Change Killed Phone

So I'm on kitkat on my gs4 and I am rooted, today I was messing with the dpi of the phone and I wanted to see how small i could go. Default is 480 and I brought it down to 200 (Yeah, I'm really stupid). The phone took longer to boot than normal and when it did I get the errors "Unfortunately, TouchWiz home has stopped." and "Unfortunately, the process com.android.systemui has stopped." I've tried rebooting the phone and it always takes longer to boot and I don't get TouchWiz. I would just factory reset my phone, except I cannot retrieve my data, because there is a pin code password lock on my phone. Any ways to fix this without a reset, or if I have to, is there any way to retrieve my data? Thanks.
Ended up factory resetting, still having the problem. Gonna root it again, and use a root explorer to fix it. :crying:
No root explorers will pick up my phone. Maybe because there is no USB debugging. Gonna try to flash a custom ROM and if that doesn't work I guess it's time to buy a new phone because I'm out of ideas.
I think DPI settings are stored in the build.prop file, so if you can go into a custom recovery you could probably pull the file off the phone, edit it with Notepad, then push it back and fix it.

[Q] HELP! Installed a currupt theme, now can't remove it!

Hi Guys
Been having a problem for the last one week. I'm on CM11 snapshot m7. I installed the One plus one theme, which seemed to run very well until my battery drained completely. Now when I boot my phone, it gives me an error message "unfortunately com.android.systemui has stopped working."
I figured it must be a corrupt theme so I just need to uninstall it. But I can't access settings, as even if I hit "OK" on the error message, the msg keeps reappearing, not allowing me to do anything with my phone.
The last solution I have, of course, is to do a factory reset and flash a working ROM. But then I'll lose all my app data. I tried the following solutions, but in vain. Please let me know if you guys can think of anything else, so as to save my app data! My last Titanium backup was a few months ago!
1. Tried to uninstall the app via adb, but my USB debugging is off, adb doesn't detect my device (and I can't access settings to turn it back on)
2. Tried to boot my phone in safe mode and uninstall the app but even in safe mode it shows the same error message and doesn't allow me to do anything.
3. Tried installing the ROM and Gapps hoping it would replace the filed modified by the theme, and my default theme would be back on.
4. Found an apk for the default (holosense) theme, converted it to .zip and tried flashing it through CWM.
5. Tried flashing the apk via sideload in CWM, but again my USB debugging being off, adb did not detect my phone.
When I had my system ui failure, I was still able to open quick settings drawer and access settings through there even though system ui was constantly crashing...

try formatting cache and dalvik and try rebooting
if it doesnt work do a clean wipe and flash your rom it should do the trick
possibly no other go
for preserving your data
do a nandroid backup first and then do a clean wipe
this way you can extract app+data from nandroid via titanium backup later
hope it helps mate

LG E615f - Phone can't save new information

Hello Everyone!
I need some help with my phone, I'll be thankfully if some of you could help me finding out the solution of the problem.
It's a LG l5 E615f Dual Chip
No matter what I do, every time I reboot the phone, all kind of changes I do it's restored to the day the problem has started (6 july). Even deleted photos comes back, and I'm not talking about the MiniSD Card, its the internal memory, configurations changed, accounts deleted, apps deleted, even the ROOT I've tried to do gets undone when rebooted.
*NOTE: I just tried to ROOT because the problem, I've never rooted before that thing happens.
And I believe that's causing some kind of instability in the phone. It also randomly gives me the following errors:
-"unfortunately, Internet has stopped"
-"google play services has stopped"
-"google play store has stopped"
-"Unfortunately, the process android.process.acore has stopped"
-"unfortunately the process com.google.process.gapps has stopped"
The frequency is about 8 seconds.
And also reboots randomly.
When I try t run an app like outlook, facebook or whatsapp for example it crashes.
The frequency of error messages, reboots and crashes makes the device completely useless...
Things I've already tried:
- Hard and Soft Reset (Soft Reset simply doesn't work, and Hard reset I get the android robot screen, but after reboot everything keeps the same)
- Rooted the phone (after a lot of failures, one succeed, after opening the KINGO Root the app crashed and the phone rebooted and the ROOT were undone)
- LG Mobile Support Tool (After update, nothing happens, everything keeps the same as were before)
- Remove google account and add again
- Delete a lot of apps (I did waste like 1 hour after reboots and crashes and uninstalling various apps, no succeed.
- Update google play services (I used an APK and MiniSD card to do that, receive the message "App not installed.")
- Tried to delete and add files from the PC (Cannot add or delete anything from internal memory, only the miniSD)
That's it, does anybody knows whats happening?
I'm desperate too
I'm having the same problem here with on LG-E612f

LG L70 - stopping more apps - even after a factory reset and flashing ROM

Good afternoon.
Recently, I dealt with the message "The Contacts application stopped". The same with Calendar app and sometimes with the Camera app. The same issue I had with the original keyboard LG, which I did not use so I did not mind that. Basically, the message appeared only after backing up with Titanium backup before I switched back to Smart Keyboard Pro.
Deleting data of the application did not help. So I had to do a Factory reset. But that logically resulted in deleting Smart Pro Keaboard and thus I was done because LG keyboard was not working again. So I could not enter the password for Wi-Fi, could not log into my Google Account and therefore all my backups were useless (LG backup, Google backup and Titanium Backup). Now, as I write this, I get an idea to install Titanium Backup from the card, so maybe next time).
So finally I had to flash the phone. Then I restored everything (root, applications, SDfix, Folder mount, ... ) and the phone worked for about a week without any problems. Then Contacts started to stop (again: "The application Contacts stopped"). I went around by using another application for contacts. But then even Settings began to stop. For example when I need to turn on Wi-Fi, I'll hold the icon for a list of available networks and the app Settings stops. The same when I try to set the background image or when I try to access the list of applications or try to view Phone info.
Prior to these problems, the phone went over a year without any problems. I've got SafeRemover, but I just deleted useless apps like Google Music and so on. I cannot delete data of the stopping apps since I cannot get into the menu.
I do not I have any suspicious newly installed application. No task killer, booster, antivirus and similar crap I do. Just SD Maid.
I have a LG L70, Android 4.4.2 with the newest firmware from LG web. I can not find out more because Setting would stop. :-/
Do you guys have any idea how to solve the problem?
You could try an older version of the firmware.
You could also try clearing cache and dalvik cache through recovery (if possivle) or flashing custom ROMs (if available).
Thanks a lot for your replies. I don't know how to clean Dalvik cache with recovery. I tried flashing the same stock ROM again with normal flash. Other possibilities are (in this order): CSE flash with the same rom, normal flash with different stock rom, custom rom.
So after normal flashing with stock ROM everything seemed ok. I recovered some apps and setting from Google account and then I started recovering from LG backup. It ended, phone switched of and is dead. I can't switch it on, load Recovery menu neither Bootloader menu (with USB cable). So it look like a hard brick.
My notebook sees the phone as "QHSUSB_BULK" in a "non-determined device" category. I'm searching the unbrick method but I start being desperate. :-/
