Settings keeps stopping - LG G7 ThinQ Questions & Answers

Any suggestions how to fix this sh1t without factory resetting?

Huh, thought I was the only one. This keeps happening to me as well. One way I stopped it for a bit was clearing the cache for the settings app. Although you have to be quick before it crashes and makes it near impossible to do so. Unfortunately I think this has to do with the latest update. Just out curiosity, what model do you have?

You may reboot to safe mode and settings become to work without bugs. But all other programs don't start. After reboot settings work, about 1 minute. Then, I presume some program starts into memory and crashes settings. I can't point to which one, and if it's 3rd party or stock service.
Do you have app named SRTC? Can't remember such app out of the box. maybe it' virus? but it's system and can't be uninstalled

eaw 6gb ram, 10f. It's not happened after update because I got it 2-3 weeks ago and all worked fine since.

Probably it is a new app that you have installed recently or an update or an app. Try to reset the phone in safe mode, if the problem persist is a system app problem. If you don't want to reset the phone try re-flashing the last kdz and if it doesn't work do a factory reset.

I've had this issue for months. If you have a 3rd party launcher, make a shortcut to the search bar of settings. I use Activities with Nova Launcher

There's an app in the play store that will get you into settings made specifically for this issue.

App updates keep failing

First it was ilomilo, now Flixster. An update shows available, appears to download fine, then it just seems to abort and nothing happens. The app then continues to show update available. And if I retry the status goes from Pending to Installing, but the progress bar never moves and the app never updates.
Tried everything short of a factory reset, and the only solution seems to be to uninstall the app completely and reinstall.
Is there another fix? Some apps have still updated fine.

i have had the problem for a while now.... theres some games as well
When it happens to me, and it has happened about 3 times now, I delete the app and then reinstall it.

This bug happened when a developer update the app, and change the name of this app. For example, surfcube browser is update to 1.2 and the developerschange the name of the app in surfcube 3d browser.
i have the same bug!!

I have only noticed this will trial versions of apps. If you have a trial app, then you have to uninstall and re-download to update it. As for ilomilo and some other games, you have to use Wi-Fi to download the game. There is a file size limit(don't know what it is) but that was the only way I could get Harvest, Earth Worm Jim, and the Ilomilo update from my phone.
Try deleting the market cache. That's resolved that issues for me on the few occasions it has popped up.

Yeah, I have only noticed this when using trial apps as well so I think that's the problem. Maybe its Microsoft's idea of making you want to buy the app as the trial version update procedure is annoying lol

It's happened with free apps also.
Being unable to update to update trial apps is quite a well documented bug with the marketplace and is going to be fixed
this issue can be solved by uninstalling and re-installing the app.

Market "Download paused" message

The last it happened it turned out to be issue with the Market itself, but now no one is taking about it and I have not been able to get any updates or download anything from the Market for days.
I've tried every suggestion I came across to no avail; clearing cache, data in any app that seems to have anything to do with downloading from the Market, logging in/out/in to GTalk, downgrading the Market app to stock. Nothing works, and it all started happening out of the blue; no problem one day, and the next day the Market doesn't work no matter what.
I don't remember making any changes to the phone, it's been setup a while ago and running to my satisfaction, except for one thing; some days before the Market stopped working I started noticing that my battery wasn't holding up as well as it used to, but I don't know it this has anything to do with the matter at hand. I'm on a rooted 2.2.1 (mistakenly) released by US TMo with a Go Launcher EX.
So, is it me and my phone, or something outside of my doing. I would hate to do a factory reset, so would anyone have a better plan of action.
Thanks

In the American ROM there are three settings in the Data Manager under Data Delivery; Background Data, Data Roaming, and Data Enabled. I guess the closest would be the last one and it pertains to having data enabled over mobile network. All but the roaming were enabled.
@scrannel: It was happening in both, mobile and WiFi.
Thanks guys, frustrated, I ended up doing a factory reset and restore after all. Now my battery use is back to normal (i.e. excellent) too.
Drat, things (software settings) are fragile; falling apart under normal use.
I am experiencing the same problem. Tried a lot of methods like clearing cache and all but nothing worked.
Everytime I start a download it says 'downloading' for a few seconds and then says 'download paused' and remains there.
This issue is on wifi only, and happened out of the blue yesterday. On my 3g data connection the apps download just fine.
What can I do?
I am having the same problem with downloads from the market, but only on 3g. Everything is fine on WiFi. 99/100 times, an App will take forever to download on 3g, pausing 5-10x during the process. This has been going on since Friday I believe. I have switch roms, complete data wipe, formatted my memory card, deleted .android-secure on teh SD card, nothing helps.
I don't know if its the 3g network or what, but it's really starting to aggravate me
Settings -> Data manager -> Data Saver -> untick "Enable Data Saver" should do the trick
Data Saver off wouldn't help those of us who got "WiFi-exclusive" Market stucks.
Worse yet, sometimes at certain WiFi networks (for example those they give at Starbucks) it works just fine, stuff downloads in huge chunk (from waiting list). Then on other WiFi it wouldn't work.
I even tried it at home WiFi spot with all firewall offline, and still no cigars - "paused".
My market suddenly started working again, but now after a few days it says 'downloads paused' again..
What is happening!

i had the same problem with my stock 2.2.1 defy (but in my case the market got stuck on the old version and wouldnt even update itself). the only thing that helped was doing a factory reset from recovery, and now everything works fine. but afaik there's an app backup option (only in 2.2), so if you do a factory reset you can have most of your apps installed in a minute from backup. good luck!
downloading
Even i am having the same problem when ever it paused like that i will open android market and it will download automatically again try to do like that.

Anyone else have issues since root?

My notification light hasn't worked since, automatic call recorder hasn't worked. Also noticed when I uninstall system apps with TiBu they still appear in my app drawer? Also not getting email notifications for Yahoo! app. So far what I've seen.
Unrelated note, am I going insane because I can't find every process/system app in root explorer. I go to usual system/app but all I see is LG,VZM, Google apps. Nothing of detail like usual. ??

The root process replaces the /system partition. I would suspect that a good Factory Reset would help clear up any issues like this. Have you factory reset yet?
I am curious if these issues are apparent in others who rooted (could be issues with the image) or just a fluke.

Also of note,I haven't uninstalled anything, only frozen. And only the obvious bloatware (Verizon apps, and dt ignite). I would almost bet it's removing something you didn't have... I would recommend redoing the root process to get a fresh system image, and run a few days without de bloating to verify.

I'm seeing the same thing. The only thingz that really bug me though are auto call recorder not working (could have used that today) and everytime I uninstall nfl mobile, it reinstall via the play store. Kind of a pain, but not a deal breaker.

Try uninstalling stuff and let me know. I know for a fact it's stuff I have on the phone. I used TiBu, but then still in my app drawer and can't find all those apps like before using Root Explorer (my first G4 phone, maybe layout is diff than Sammy?). I've done the root processes a couple times already.

"Unfortunately Bluetooth has Stopped" Error

Is anyone else seeing the error message "Unfortunately Bluetooth has Stopped" pop up repeatedly, as often as every 1-2 minutes? This happens even when I'm not connected to a BT device. It started happening to me yesterday and it's driving me crazy.
Checking logcat, I see these messages: pastebin. I was wondering if it's a manifestation of the bug in this article at Android Police, but surely that has been fixed by now? I'm presently unrooted and totally stock so I'm thinking a factory reset might be my only option, unless someone can suggest something else?
Yes!
Exactly the same thing. Driving me nuts.
I've tried to trace to an app but no luck.
Also totally stock, unrooted.
(Telstra Australia image).
Have been putting off reset as long as I can.
I see you are in Oz also.. are you running Telstra stock image?
I spoke to their online 'help'.. who said that it would be an LG issue and to talk to them.. confirming that they believe LG are responsible for all the QA on their image.
I'm going to factory reset... and see what happens.
No, I have the international H815. I've had it for a couple of months and this just started happening yesterday.
Do you perchance have Garmin Connect installed, and talking to a Garmin device?
hmm... no.. I don't... (this sounds like a game of Guess Who).
My son was getting the same problem on his S3.. but associated it with Spotify. Once he uninstalled the app, the problem went away.
I did have Spotify... but uninstalling did nothing.
Just went through phone looking for 'bluetooth' stuff. Have uninstalled Fitbit, LG Health, IFTTT,
All smart settings are off.
Restarted,,, waiting for error.
I'm suspecting it will work ok... for a while.
I'm now wondering if this is a manifestation of this problem, as the OP was getting the same message in his log as I am seeing. If so this is pretty grim. I use the phone to listen to music and podcasts in the car all the time, so if this is going to keep happening then it's severely impacting my use of this phone. I guess we can only hope that LG come good with a software update that will address this, unless someone else has a workaround?
I'm also having the same problem, I cannot seem to pin it to a specific app. I've tried clearing the Bluetooth cache and even a complete factory reset and I am still getting the same issue, if someone has a fix please post it's driving me crazy

Did your phone do it from Day 1 or did it just start doing it at some random point in time?
Also, when you did a factory reset did you perchance use LG backup or something to save your settings?

Yes it's done it since day one when I got it (about a week ago) once I did a factory reset I set it up as a new phone and downloaded my apps from the play store, the only thing I didn't try was streaming music without any apps installed and just using Google play music to steam music via Bluetooth, without doing that it's hard to tell if it's a lg issue or a 3rd party app that is causing it

have you guys maybe trackID installed? for me bluetooth was off but i had this problem that bluetooth has stopped and uninstalling trackID solved it.
maybe i could help you
No TrackiD for me.
I seem to be able to make the error appear when I'm scrolling down Facebook news feed.
No error when Bluetooth is off.. but that's not an option for how I use my phone.
I don't have TrackID installed either.
I did a factory install last night and let my apps reinstall overnight. I'm not getting the error this morning and was able to drive to work listening to podcasts with no disconnections. So it's "fixed", for now at least, though I fully expect that it will return at some point in the future.
If I do a factory reset will I lose root? Thanks in advance

No, I was on stock Telstra modified firmware
use logcat to track the issue, it can be caused by bad data from apps, usually if you wipe the data it can be solved
try clear the bluetooth settings, it can be corrupt data
Factory reset, and restored from full LG Backup.
Haven't seen the issue for a couple of days.
I had this problem and found out the cause was Spotify, I uninstalled it and re-installed it and havent seen the issue for over a week now
The problem came back after a couple of weeks.. and is just constant.. even when factory reset back to stock and no apps installed.
Rooted phone. Froze 'Android Staten Webview'...believe issue resolved.

Updates on Google Play hang at 100%

Over the last few weeks I've noticed that when I manually update my apps after it downloads it hangs at 100% from anywhere to 15 seconds to 60 seconds. I had been wondering why it's taking so long to update apps lately.
Anyone know what's going on and how to fix?
Have you tried closing/opening play store or clearing data/cache? I have not experienced that on stock Oreo or DP2.

What launcher do you use? Deafult, Nova???
Similar issue reported time and again in multiple devices. The majority concluded it to be due to adding shortcut to home functionality which ideally should not be triggered for existing app update. I would suggest to check with different launchers or disable add shortcut to home and try if the issue still persist.
I dont have such issue faced either on Oreo or P beta. I use total launcher though not the default one.

Did you happened to have installed microG?
I had that installed once (twice to be exact, just to verify) for modded youtube app... it messes up my play store as a whole... crash and hangs here and there... had to wipe the phone in order to restore it to usable state.
*also try using another wifi hotspot, or restart your router. My workplace network monitors and filters data, it corrupts my download every so often... but when I am home, they update just fine.

I cleared data on the Google Play Store app.
It seems that after a long period of time, the first app doesn't hang but then after the first one, it hangs up.
I just force closed the app and cleared data and cache. The first app I updated hung up at 100%.
This happened on wifi and on carrier data.
It happens on apps less that 5mb and large ones too.
I'm on stock 8.1 with the May update.
I always sideload updates and with Magisk and EX kernel.
