    Can't access Settings

    Just to conclude this thread, I didn't get time to figure out why my phone wouldn't flash, so I just left it. Then miraculously a week ago the Settings seemed to just start working again! I hadn't done any updates or tinkered with anything they just started opening again. Baffling. Thanks for...

    Can't access Settings

    Still no joy. The factory reset without doing the backup had the same results. The Settings would open fine, then while it was finalising setup/installing some apps it decided to disappear again and now can't be accessed. It only has the phone default apps on it now so can't be anything I have...

    Can't access Settings

    Tried Safe Mode and Settings still instantly closes. Will do the factory reset again without using the backup. The only backup I had was from October last year when the phone was working fine, so I figured if it was something that happened in the last 2 weeks to cause this issue it should be...

    Can't access Settings

    Just happened randomly. Not even sure when it happened, although it must have been in the last week as I remember being able to use/access the bluetooth settings for my earphones last Friday. The phone is a HTC U11.

    Can't access Settings

    Whenever I try and access the Settings app it won't open and briefly flashes a message "Settings has stopped". I've tried to find away of deleting the data/cache for it as I've seen that has helped some people with the same issue, but all the apps I try and use to do so require access which is...
