ContextService has stopped NE9 rerooted - Verizon Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I just followed the guide to flash back to NCG kernel, reroot and flash NE9 kernel. So far everything is lovely except for after a phone call I always get an error: "Unfortunately, Context Service has stopped." Any idea what this is and how to fix it?

No, stock ROM. Never flashed a ROM, Knox 0x0.

I believe I found a solution. I have installed Greenify, but it was disabled under my accessibility services. Apparently that's how it is set by default after downloading it, even when rooted. I turned Greenify on under Settings < Accessibility < Greenify and rebooted my phone. I made a few calls and received one and no more Context Service Errors for me. I am quite curious as to what Context Services are and why Greenify would cause those errors as I do not see any information on it relating to the S5, so if anyone has any idea why this happens, feel free to shed some light on it.I wonder also if Context Services are safe to freeze..

Problem returned with a vengeance after several reboots. Now I boot the phone sometimes and there are no errors, other times and constant FCs. Could I have somehow gotten a corrupt Context Service apk when I flashed to Stock Odin, or the NCG or NE9 kernels? Anyone know what Context Services actually is and if it's safe to freeze if there isn't a fix? I found a similar thread for someone having this issue on the At&T variant and someone replied that his Context Service apk was possibly corrupt and that he PM'd him a new one. http://forum.xda-developers.com/att-galaxy-s5/help/context-services-stopped-t2837895/post54614539 If this is something that is possible to do, I would greatly appreciate it.. I've looked both on Google and here and there seems to be very little info on Context Services, so I do not wanna freeze something that's unsafe to freeze, but these errors are killing me. Any help will be greatly appreciated.
Edit: Totally removed Greenify and the problem is gone. I would love to use Greenify, but I would like to know I can do so without causing issues. Does anyone know how Greenify would cause ContextService FCs?

Logcat
i have a logcat of the issue occurring, both by itself and induced via having my girlfriend call my phone. i took this to the xposed forum first and was told it appears not to be module related. if anyone can give me any input on this, i would really appreciate it

i thought it was just me.. however stock rom works fine for me its my custom build i get the fc on.. i dont have greenify in my rom so not sure if thats the root cause or not.. i will try something and report back

I'm not sure if this will help but from what I've read ss has a problem when using a rom slot instead of the stock slot I've seen a lot of the rom devs change the procedure from using a rom slot to using the stock slot.

Anyone know if a Nandroid backup from before I ever originally took the OTA, stock rooted NCG, would fix my problems, and more importantly, if it would trip Knox or not if I restored it via Safestrap?

I haven't read anywhere of someone trying it yet. I was wondering too good question

plenty of posts saying safestrap won't trip knox, had not heard from anyone as to what restoring a nano would do until i specifically asked this question yesterday though... you referring to a certain thread containing these many posts? because until i asked, the safestrap thread even made NO mention of nano backups as they relate to knox...

Never had that but I did get documents have stop once an it never did it again not sure what was up with that ?

Is there an actual fix for the "Unfortunately, Context Service has stopped" error? I really made a stupid mistake yesterday and froze some system apps in Titanium Backup. At first I was getting a bootloop when the OS tried to load the apps and thought I was going to have to wipe data, but I used adb push to send the entire system/app folder to my phone (got the files/folder from my wife's phone who has the same phone on same ROM - I'm 90% sure it is the rooted KOT49K/ANCG build of Verizon GS5). This adb push allowed my phone to boot entirely, but now everytime I boot the phone up, I get the Contest Service error message. So I just backed up Contest Service 2.0.3 using Titanium Backup on her phone, then put the 3 files it created onto my phone and tried using Titanium to restore Context Service 2.0.3 to my phone but to no avail. I tried restoring app only and also restoring app+ data but the restore never completes in TB (ive changed TB to INDIRECT mode too) but it doesn't fix the problem. When I start the restore, it does stop the error message from constantly appearing but only until the next reboot.
So does anyone know how I can stop from getting this error message? I have another working Verizon GS5 on the same ROM at my disposal.

com.sec.app.MIPErrorNotifier running after restart

Another odd thing I am seeing since the new update, is every time I reboot, if I go into the task manager to see all my open applications... After about a minute or so, I notice there is an app in there that says MIPerroractivity, when I click app info it says it is an app called com.sec.app.MIPErrorNotifier. Why is this automatically open like an app in my task manager when I reboot? Any ody else seeing this?

Should I have? I used Odin to get to stock MDL, then flashed the MF9 zip in recovery. Nothing else. Why would I need to flash the modem if the modem is in the OTA?

Did the same thing.
I also get this PITA notice.
Only thing I have been able to find so far is it appears to have something to do with "Mobile IP ERRor".
I will not claim to know what this means.
I have noticed that I have no cell service while roaming at home anymore.
Hopefully, this is because I am slightly (1/4 mile) outside of the official roaming service area.
I am hoping I can reset the phone profile once I get back into Sprint's network later today.
I am also not sure if this is related to MY upgrading to MF9 using the manual ZIP from SD card method and not waiting for the official OTA update.
I already posted that I did the ota stock non rooted and it appears for me.

After a bit of review
Ok, so I've been doing a little testing this AM to see if I could get to the bottom of this error.
After rebooting, locking and unlocking a ton of times I've decided its related to wifi connecting on the initial boot.
After a while I started noticing a pattern in relation to the toast message that pops up when it initially connects to wifi and the error showing up.
To confirm my theory, I removed the local wifi at my office, and on reboot, no error.
I have zero clue on how to fix the issue, but just wanted to point any devs looking into this in the right direction.
Additional notes, I'm stock, not rooted, and updated via the sdcard method.

I believe you are absolutely correct in your assumption. I can replicate this as you say. Also, I am completely stock, unrooted and gained the update via OTA.

Has anyone totally deleted it (not freeze it, but DELETE IT) from system/apps ??

[Q] Is it safe to uninstall AT&T bloatware on rooted I337UCUAMF3?

Given that there's no way to reflash the factory image, is it still safe to remove all the AT&T bloat using Titanium Backup? Right now I have all the AT&T bloatware frozen and it doesn't impact anything, but I just want to if it'll change if I completely uninstall the AT&T programs i.e. My Locker, Blurb Checkout, etc. Would this impact my ability to receive firmware updates or unroot and reset the handset? I should mention I'm probably going to be selling the phone when the Nexus 5 comes out so I still want to be able to unroot and factory reset (as long as it can reset, it doesn't bother me if the AT&T bloatware is gone).
I guess that depends on what you mean by "safe."
I removed almost all of the AT&T stuff except for the update service and the hotspot app, and I know I'll never miss them even without a recovery option.
If you need a recovery option, then probably best to not remove anything and use Safestrap to experiment with other roms.
Don't delete it, freeze it. That way if you mess something up you can defrost it.
If your on MF3 I wouldn't touch anything and just use safestrap.

There is always risk.
I learned the hard way... I touched too much stuff with Tibu on my stock ROM and it doesn't even work anymore. I can't do anything with it... luckily I have safestrap still until they release an mf3 factory image for Odin or kies I can't do anything with my stock ROM.

About the time you posted this last night I was freezing apps. Apparently too many. Phone will not boot past the at&t logo now. I can still boot into my custom rom slot 1 so I'm not at a total loss, but would really like to know if there is anyway to replace/defrost those frozen apps on the stock ROM via the ADB terminal running on my custom ROM. Seems like you could just copy and overwrite the package files on the stock ROM... Which leads me to my ultimate question of what does TiBackup Freeze option actually do? Uninstalling would remove the app and files from the system completely so since they are still present it seems there would be some sort of a control file that you could edit manually to defrost the app(s) in question.
Any help on this matter would be greatly appreciated.
I've read a few times that best buy can do a factory restore, yet every time someone says they are going to ask their "friend" at best buy for the method/procedure for the restore they drop off the grid... Is this a possibility?

I don't recall the urls but there are already a few in-depth lists of safe bloatware to remove from our phones..
@xda_n I'm not too sure I'm still researching on this, but haven't really been actively looking for it. Not in a rush really because I'm not going to sell my phone or anything so I'm just going to wait on Samsung to release the mf3 file via Odin or kies. I'm just using vision-x and shostock which is giving me better battery and performance than stock and still have stock feel so I'm not in too much of a rush to fix my stock ROM yet. My stock ROM would boot but it would say com.android. something and it'll freeze. I accidently tried to do a factory reset after deleting all the apps via tibu so I couldn't recover any files I saved and froze so i learned my lesson and don't want to deal with best buy right now.

Currently in the process of doing this. I overwrote my stock rom with hyperdrive to save space, so I'm downloading/installing a stock MJ7 rom in one of the other slots. I'm hoping this works. I will report back findings

I tested out the stock rom and got GPS lock immediately. Went back to Hyperdrive and still couldn't get a lock after 10 minutes. Popped back over to the stock rom and locked instantly again. Something isn't quite right..

Unfortunately I also can't post in the android development forums to let the dev know about my findings. If someone could do that and maybe even link to this thread that would be awesome. I've tried everything I could think and has been suggested at this point.
Another update - I installed a fresh flash of hyperdrive on another room slot and booted up to help rule out any application problems and the with the fresh flash gps did not work.
Just posted link in hyper drive thread and tagged developer hopefully we get a response to this issue we are having with gps.

Thank you very much good sir.
Seems like this issue might be being ignored. I'm amazed more aren't having this issue or just aren't using gps. The only difference I can think of is that I upgraded to MJ7 before flashing. I would think if it's not working after a clean flash that the gps issues would be very widespread. Maybe we can draw attention with a bounty. I'm certainly willing to contribute if this gets a fix.

I'm having this problem as well and I didn't upgrade to MJ7 before safestrap and hyperdrive. I found a temporary fix by going to google maps in your application manager and clearing data and cache but after a day of useage, it's back to not locking. Now the fix doesn't seem to be working, at least not from my backyard, i'll try it from the road and report back. Still, we need a real fix for this. I use GPS and google maps all day for work and I really can't deal with a problem like this.
anyone tried using gps status and check the number of satellites that you can possibly connect to (should be something like 0/18)?

Stock Non-rooted N4, took the new OTA. Rebooted once, things are smooth. Hotspot still works.
I'm the guy who found that hotspot trick. I'm downloading the update now. After it installs, I'll test to see if hotspot still works, and I'll also check to see if you can still access/edit APNs via my previous method.
UPDATE: It still works, absolutely no change whatsoever in the process or results.
LOL. I was wondering how people were able to odin the stock tar then reroot and still have working hotspot. I know if you odin the stock Lollipop rom tar without first wiping everything you will have leftover data but other than that, all of the system & framework files get overwritten thus undoing any hotspot mod. So i'm baffled by these reports. Maybe some of you used a different method to hack hotspot?

They told me they did when I requested the Vulkan api build. I also never requested a replacement not sure if that plays into their decision making.

Uh, yeah. The whole killswitch process only starts when you fire up your replacement tablet for the first time & set up an internet connection.
That is the ultimate reason why you put your radios to Airplane before flashing, and even before booting, you flash the remove TegraOTA zip file in TWRP.... heck, even a clean flash would be good too.

Removing the SIM if you've got the LTE version, clean flashing if using stock images & skipping the WiFi setup. Imo that's the best way to do it, you get all the time in the world to remove TegraOTA whichever way you're comfortable with.
It's honestly a bit sad that some people don't take the time to do this stuff properly.
Here is what I think happened: i had Recovery erased..you know why. So I were on stock with nethunter and suffered from random reboots. That's why I tried reflash it. Once the regular Recovery was installed i got Killswitch es ???*
NVM, just realized he did it through a manual flash, not OTA.
NVM again, I am bad at reading. So he flashed a recovery image then got the OTA after he rebooted. So again, why is Nvidia still pushing this update if they have known it was bricking devices since January.

Can you explain please all the steps you did until the kill? Ibinstalled 4.1 stock update from.nvidia site on my pyro. Before booting the os i deleted tegraota with the zip and erased recovery with fastboot. But i havent turned on the wifi yet.

Can you tell me please which version of xposed? Id like to unstall it. I also freezed with titanium almost all nvidia apps and services. If the kill switch is an update sent by nvidia servers, deleting tegra ota would be safe, and also the recovery, so nothing can be flashed. Did you check if the kill is triggered for your pyro?

So, if the kill is contained in the stock images and you were connected to internet while using the stock image, you would have been affected by the kill switch. But youbsay its working, so i think theres no kill in.the stocks

I installed 4.0.1 before the 4.1 and tablet worked (but never cinnected). Can you "system update" on your settings after flashing the nomoreota zip?

Its not green. Its the nirmal g updater. When.i.was stock 5.1.2 i deleted manually tegraota apk and "system update" on settings was disappeared. Maybe the g updater is another way to kill the tablet?
