Samsung Galaxy Light: com.android.systemui has stopped

[userfbvPem0Z4U]

Hi, so every time I long press the middle button on my phone, an error message pops up:

Unfortunately, the process com.android.systemui has stopped.

.Once I press `OK` the background goes black for a second and it takes me to the "swipe to unlock" screen.

Everything works normal, but I can't access the menu that displays open apps by long pressing the middle button.

I don't know if this helps here's some system info

Model number: SGH-T399N

Android version: 4.4.2

Kernel version: 3.4.39-2903595

Here are some troubleshooting steps I've already taken that hasn't done anything:

Restarting

Taking the battery out for 30 seconds (while it was still on)

Updating (System says it's up to date)

I am having the exact same problem with my Note 8 tablet. Have you found a solution

Me too!  Started the day before yesterday.

I had the same issue--phone was fine last night, and I woke up to that error this morning when pressing the home key.

Tried all sorts of things, from removing lots of Google apps to removing the battery.

In the end I downloaded and ran CM Security. It cleared a couple of things on the phone, and the error was fixed. The app even helped with battery usage, which was beginning to be a problem.

Hope this helps you!

Just uninstall Google app from your phone and that´s it. It worked for me.

Uninstall this app: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.google.android.googlequicksearchbox&hl=en

That's unfortunate as I use the google app a lot. I have the widget on my home screen (or had now that I uninstalled it), providing much more convenience than having to open and wait for a browser to load, then search. Maybe I should take this issue to google then.

yeah, you got a point.  The only thing I lost was the "OK GOOGLE" that I just enabled.  Which of course installed the latest "Google" APP which caused the problem it appears.  It does look like it is a GOOGLE ISSUE.

Hi,

May be this is google app issue or sometimes wiping caache partition will also work. I have found this useful guide that suggest some other option to fix com.android.systemui has stopped error.

I tried a full factory reset which reformated cache and memory and that did not solve mine.  but removing the APP did.  I would love to find another solution since I am sure I am going to run into a road block somewhere not having the Google App...in the meantime...
