Error system ui stopped. "System UI app has stopped" on Samsung Galaxy S7. What to do? Using SystemUI Tuner

If you use any of the mobile products of the Samsung Galaxy family, then you are probably familiar with the whole range of bright and lively emotions that arise when a message suddenly appears on the device’s screen that something has stopped in the Galaxy. Here, as they say, we have arrived.

In general, they like to stop Samsung Galaxy, and everything in a row: either some application is stopped, then a process is stopped, or the system interface is stopped.

But we won’t talk about sad things, but rather, we’ll talk about what to do in the event of such sudden stops. So

“The application has stopped” - what does this mean?

Of course, when a user sees such a notification on the screen of his Samsung Galaxy, he at least guesses that one of the active programs is malfunctioning.

And that means that it would be necessary to restart it, because it is in this simple way that such problems, as a rule, are solved.

But what to do if the system writes that not just the application has stopped, but “ Samsung Galaxy app has stopped", and besides, after a normal restart, the ill-fated sign appears again, and again, and again...

"Samsung Galaxy app has stopped" message

In fact, “Samsung Galaxy app has stopped” in this case is given purely as an example, since, as we already said, Galaxy stops everything. Plus, judging by the number of comments on the forums, various Galaxy have recently begun to “delight” their owners more often with just such a message. However, in most cases, using the method below, you can deal with this and other similar “stops”.

First, we note that the message “Samsung Galaxy application has stopped” (or simply some application has stopped) not only indicates the fact that a software error has occurred, but also, most often, implies a complete reset of the smartphone (or tablet). It is clear that after such a radical impact the problem will disappear, but with it the same settings will inevitably disappear, as well as a lot of important data, backup copies of which were not created. In other words, by solving one problem, we get a bunch of others.

But you can go the other way, and instead of resetting the settings completely, you can try deleting and reinstalling only the problematic application and/or clearing the cache. This often helps resolve these types of problems.

Now briefly about how to clear the cache of a problematic application in Android OS:

STEP 1. Open the settings menu and find “ Application Manager"(if you do not have a Galaxy, but another Android smartphone, then in " Settings» open « Applications«);

STEP 2. Tap the tab " ALL» at the top of the screen and find the problematic application in the list (in our case, “Samsung Galaxy”);

STEP 4. We reboot the smartphone and remember the procedure in case the Galaxy stops something again.

Smartphones based on Android can safely be called reliable devices. However, their owners are not immune from annoying OS errors. One of them is related to the Android system UI. We will tell you what this is and how to fix this problem later in the article.

How does the error manifest itself?

This system bug is mostly noticed by owners of Samsung gadgets. A pop-up message appears on the device screen with the following content: “The com.android.systemui process has been suspended.” When might it occur?

You pressed the "Home" button, turned on the camera, launched the game, application, and went to the Play Market.

What is this Android system UI? The phrase com.android.systemui denotes a service that is responsible for the correct settings of the user graphical interface in Android. It is one of the main ones, which is why it is highly undesirable to disable it.

The appearance of such an error on phones is a massive phenomenon. It appears especially often after clicking on Home. Samsung owners associate this bug with the latest “crooked” update for the platform. This caused the problem of working both with this service and with a number of others.

If the “Android System UI has stopped” window appears, what should I do? We will present you three effective ways to fix the problem.

Solution one

We have figured out that this is the Android system UI. Now let's see how to restore the service to work properly:

  • Go to the Play Store application. Type Google in the search bar.
  • The application of the same name will appear first in the list. Remove it.
  • Next you will see a similar window: “Do you want to remove all updates for this program?” Confirm this action.
  • Press the "Home" key again, turn on the camera, go to the application, when entering which the error popped up. If now the annoying window does not appear, then the problem is solved.
  • When these actions do not lead to anything, you should deactivate auto-update in the settings. This action will help avoid the bug from appearing before the new update for the Android OS.

    Solution two

    Many people ask: "When an error occurs related to the Android system UI, how do I reboot the device?" We advise you to go a slightly different route:

  • Go to the settings menu, find the "Applications" section.
  • Now click on the "Menu" button.
  • In the list that appears, select “Show system applications”.
  • Among the presented ones, find “System Interface”.
  • Go to its "Memory" section. Clear all data as well as cache.
  • After these manipulations, the system error should disappear. If this does not happen, then you can think about taking such a radical measure as resetting to factory settings. But before that, be sure to make a backup copy of all important data stored on your gadget.

    Solution three

    If, when figuring out that this is “Android system UI has stopped,” you remember that such an inscription appeared on the smartphone screen earlier, long before the release of the ill-fated update, then you need to go a different way:

  • Go to the "Settings" menu, scroll to "Application Manager". We will need the "Everything" tab.
  • In the specified section, find "System UI".
  • First of all, click on the “Clear cache” button.
  • After this action, tap on “Stop”.
  • Now restart your smartphone.
  • Then you will need to log into your Google account that is associated with this device and restart it. This is done simply: turn it off and synchronize it with your phone again.
  • Next, you should receive a message informing you that new updates are available for your gadget. Try to apply them as soon as possible.
  • That's it, the problem is solved once and, hopefully, forever!

    A bug related to the Android system UI may have several reasons. If this happened after a recent update of the device, then the solution occurs according to the first two presented schemes. If the reason is not obvious, then it is better to deal with the bug according to the latest instructions indicated in this material.

    Data-lazy-type="image" data-src="http://androidkak.ru/wp-content/uploads/2017/06/com.systemui1-e1498428852872.jpg" alt="process error" width="283" height="200"> !} If you use a smartphone with the Android operating system, it is possible that one day you will see a message about the com android systemUI process stopping. The notification itself literally means the following: the process responsible for the operation of the system's graphical user interface (User Interface) has unexpectedly terminated. The display of buttons, application windows, and other elements depends on this process.

    If an error occurs in the com.android.systemUI application, pressing the “Home” button (the middle button of the phone) often stops working. More serious problems may arise. Correction of this failure is necessary for normal operation of the system.

    So, you received the message “Unfortunately, com android systemUI has stopped” (if your phone has an English version of the Android operating system) or “The com android systemUI process has stopped.” What should I do next and how to fix the problem? It depends on the cause of the malfunction.

    Random crash

    Occurrence of this error once should not bother you. First of all, try restarting your phone. If the problem persists after rebooting, proceed to the next step.

    Viral activity

    1. Remember if the error is accompanied by spontaneous attempts by the system to download unknown applications, as well as the appearance of pop-up advertisements when launching other programs or at random moments. This behavior is guaranteed to indicate the presence of a Trojan.
    2. Check the installation date of the application and compare with other system packages. To do this, you will need a third-party application management utility, such as Gemini App Manager or Uninstaller. If com.android.systemUI was created recently, it is most likely a virus disguised as a system application. If the date coincides with the day other system files were created, the virus is probably contained in another package.
    3. Run an antivirus scan for your smartphone.

    Jpg" alt="virus on android" width="267" height="200"> !} If it turns out that you have caught a virus, it is useful to remember: it is not necessarily contained in com.android.systemUI. Warning: Do not try to remove com.android.systemUI, it is one of the main parts of the phone's operating system. However, the virus can masquerade as system processes, so you should be vigilant.

    The following instructions will tell you how to remove infected programs and files:

    1. Use an antivirus app for your smartphone. Please note that on Android it is not always possible to completely remove a virus using an antivirus. However, this will help you figure out which apps are infected.
    2. Go to Safe Mode. To do this, press the power button and hold it for a few seconds. Wait until the shutdown and system reboot menu appears. Press “Power off” and do not release until a warning appears about entering safe mode. After that, click “Ok”. The phone will reboot.
    3. After the system boots, go to the “Settings” menu, “Applications” section, “Third Party” tab.
    4. Open the settings of the suspicious program. Alternately click “Clear cache”, “Erase data”, “Stop” and then “Delete”. This way you will completely get rid of files associated with the application.
    5. Repeat for all infected programs.
    6. If you cannot uninstall an application, open the “Settings” menu, “Security” section, “Device Administrators” item. Applications that have Administrator status are listed here. Uncheck the suspicious program. Then click “Disconnect”. After that you can delete it.
    7. To exit safe mode, reboot the system.

    Google app update

    The next update to Google services may be causing the crash, you can fix it as follows:

    Owners of Samsung devices most often encounter this glitch. Such errors spoil the image of Google, so there is every reason to expect that the problem will be fixed in future updates.

    It did not bring global changes, but still new interesting features appeared in the OS: Doze, Android Pay, ; although, of course, it was not without a “fly in the ointment” -. However, Google, unlike other companies, cares not only about ordinary users, but also about developers - the System UI Tuner was introduced especially for them.
    For “unenlightened” users, I’ll note that SystemUI is a system application located in system/app and is responsible for some interface elements, in particular the status bar, notification panel and quick settings panel - roughly speaking, the “curtain”. Android users have long been interested in this interface idea: they installed custom firmware, various modifications like the Xposed Framework, and ultimately “stitched” *.apk from parallel interface shells. Now the search giant has met halfway and added a piece of functionality to its system, with some unique features, which we will tell you about today.

    How to activate

    There is a whole armada of articles on this subject on the Global Network, and, often, the methods in them completely repel interest. In the final build of Marshmallow, the activation of the function has moved to a completely different place: now you do not need to activate the developer settings to use it.



    Do you see the familiar “gear” in the quick access menu leading to “Settings”? Press and hold it for about 5-7 seconds and - voila - System UI Tuner is activated. As they say, it couldn’t be simpler. Now the “System UI Tuner” item will appear in the application. You can also deactivate the functionality using a long tap. Are you ready for the “magic”?

    Possibilities


    Editing the contents of the Quick Settings panel. Yes, this was implemented in previous versions of Android, but not in the way we would like. Now you can contact the panel just like on the “custom” ones. You have the right to swap icons, activate the ones you need, and vice versa - remove unnecessary switches.




    Charge level in percent. Perhaps it's time for a killer feature - stock Android has learned to show percentages next to the battery icon. Here, only one toggle switch is allocated for this parameter, which activates the appearance of a new indicator.

    Demo mode. This feature appeared in the first build of Android M, and we previously . Demo Mode replaces all status bar icons with their demo “ideal” variations. And the time on the device will stop at 6:00 - Google likes to mark the OS version in screenshots this way. This mode is ideal for screenshots. I would like to note that we use this mode for some of our publications.
