Many Chinese-made Android users often have various kinds of errors. One of the most common is considered "An error has occurred in the Settings application." This failure is not entirely standard, as in some cases it can block access to the device settings menu. Let's see how you can fix this problem.
Reasons for failure
Most often, the problem appears on smartphones and tablets, where there are still outdated OSs, frozen somewhere in versions 4.2.2, 4.4.2, 4.4.4. Versions 5.1 (and higher), 6.0 (and higher) are more stable in this regard. As such, there can be many reasons for a bug. Crookedly installed application, contains broken files and crashes. A global bug in the firmware, due to which you will not be able to start system processes and programs (camera, battery, calendar, phone book, etc.). We should also talk about viral activity on Android and the presence of garbage (residual files) in it.

Before all actions, I recommend checking the device for viruses, use the latest versions of antiviruses (Dr.Web, AVG, Kaspersky, ESET, etc.). Also use the system cleaning tool - cache and junk files. In new versions of the OS, there is a built-in option for cleaning, or you can download a special software - Master Cleaner, for example.

Smartphones based on "Android" can be safely called reliable devices. However, their owners are not immune from annoying OS errors. One of them is related to the Android system UI. What it is, and how to fix this problem, we will tell you later in the article.
How does the error appear?
This system bug is mostly noticed by the owners of Samsung gadgets. A pop-up message appears on the device screen with the approximate content: "The com.android.systemui process has been suspended." When can it occur?
You pressed the Home button, turned on the camera, launched the game, the application, entered the Play Market.
What is Android system UI? Com.android.systemui refers to a service that is responsible for making sure that the user interface is configured correctly on Android. Refers to the main, 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. It caused the problem of working both with this service and with a number of others.
If the "Android System UI Stopped" window appears, what should I do? We will present you with three effective ways to fix the problem.
Solution one
We figured out that this is the Android system UI. Now let's see how to get the service back to work properly:
- Go to the Play Market application. Type Google in the search bar.
- The first application in the list will appear in front of you. Delete it.
- Then there will be a similar window: "Delete all updates for this program?" Confirm this action.
- Press the "Home" key again, turn on the camera, go to the application, upon entering which an error pops up. If now there is no annoying window, then the problem is solved.
When these actions did not lead to anything, it is worth deactivating auto-update in the settings. This action will help to avoid the manifestation of the bug before the new update for the Android OS.
Solution two
Many people ask: "When an error occurs related to the Android system UI, how to restart the device?" We advise you to take a slightly different path:
- 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, find "System interface".
- Go to its "Memory" section. Clear all data as well as cache.
After these manipulations, it should disappear. If this did not happen, then you can think about applying such a radical measure as resetting to factory settings. But before that, be sure to make a backup copy of all important data that is stored on your gadget.
Solution three
If, understanding that this is "Android system UI stopped", you will remember that such an inscription appeared on the smartphone screen earlier, long before the release of the unfortunate update, then you need to go the other way:
- Go to the "Settings" menu, scroll down to the "Application Manager". We will need the "All" tab.
- In the indicated section, find "System UI".
- First of all, click on the "Clear cache memory" button.
- After this action tap on "Stop".
- Now restart your smartphone.
- Then you will need to log into your Google Account associated with this device and restart it. This is done simply: turn it off and re-sync it with your phone.
- Next, you should receive a message about the release of new updates for your gadget. Try to apply them as soon as possible.
That's it, the problem was solved once and hopefully forever!
A bug related to the Android system UI can have several reasons. If this happened after a recent update of the device, then the solution takes place 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 last instructions specified in this material.
Make sure your device is fully charged before you start updating your operating system. It is important to eliminate the likelihood of disconnection. You can connect the gadget to the charger during the procedure. If the tablet or smartphone turns off during the firmware update, system and data loss will occur.
Check the version of the android operating system that is relevant for your device, as well as find out what firmware is currently installed. You can clarify this information in the device settings in the "About phone" section. Pay attention to the android version, kernel version and build number.
Now, based on these data, you need to find and download a new firmware that will fully match your smartphone or tablet model.
HOW TO FLASH ANDROID USING A COMPUTER
It should be said that there are several ways to flash Android and in this article we will look at the most common ones. Let's start by flashing the gadget using a special program that is pre-installed on the computer. There are many applications that allow you to install a new version of the OS on your device, but we decided to stick with the Fastboot program, since it is safe, convenient and reliable, and also best suited for the model that we will be flashing as an example. So, let's figure out how to reflash Android using the Fastboot booster.
Note: the program for flashing Android should be chosen based on which manufacturer's device you are using. We recommend that you familiarize yourself with the following program list
First of all, you need to download this application. There will be no problems with the search for Fastboot, it is enough to be able to use search engines, and today everyone can do it. Download the program and unpack it to the root of the C drive so that the file path looks like this: C: \ Android.
The "Tools" folder contains the necessary utilities, and the "Driver" directory contains the drivers. Now you need to connect to the computer the device that you plan to reflash and install the driver. As a rule, the device automatically finds the necessary drivers, but sometimes this does not happen. In this case, you need to open the website of the manufacturer of your smartphone or tablet and download the software. Please note that the firmware that you plan to download is suitable for your gadget model. The firmware must be downloaded in .zip format and placed in the Tools folder, which is located here: C: \ Android.
Before you can flash an android, you need to unlock the bootloader on your device. The bootloader unlocking process will differ depending on the specific gadget model. Open the Start menu on your computer, type cmd in the search bar, and select cmd.exe.
In the Command Prompt window, enter cd C: \ Android \ Tools. Confirm the command by pressing the Enter key, after which you will find yourself in the "Tools" directory.
Now you need to enter a command command that looks like this: fastboot devices.
If you were given a device code, then fastboot detected your smartphone or tablet and you can start flashing the android. If the window says "waiting for device", you need to turn off the gadget and install the drivers. Now you need to enter the command for the firmware: fastboot update firmware_file_name.zip After that, the flashing will start. Remember to reboot your device after finishing the operating system update.
HOW TO RESET ANDROID THROUGH RECOVERY
Another way to reflash Android is to use standard recovery or custom ones (TWRP \ CWM). What are custom recovery we will explain in more detail below. In short, these are unofficial firmware. So, find the firmware that suits you on the Internet, download it and save it to the root of the file system of your device.
