System Apps keep stopping on FP3 p0.16

I have /e/OS Android 9 0.16-20210425112188 on my FP3 installed, rooted and Magisk installed.
A while ago I realized that some of my system apps are not working anymore and I get the message that either “Settings keeps stopping” when I want to check my Data usage or “Updater keeps stopping” when I try to run the Updater. Besides that, everything seems to work fine.

Is there a way to fix this without a complete wipe and new install?
Thanks!

You can try the following two things in Settings - Apps and notifications - See all [number of] apps - (three dot menu) - Show system - (choose the App) …

  • Force stop … then reboot the phone.
  • Storage & cache - Clear cache … then reboot the phone.

Unfortunately that does not change the behavior. I think I first noticed this after I flashed Magisk again after an update.

Seems like this is my unrequested chance to switch to Q…
Thanks anyway!

I got something similar on Samsung Galaxy S8 (SM-G950F).

The most prominent symptom is the message “Apps keeps stopping” when tapping the Apps (foundation.e.apps).
Another one is that I can not open some websites, for example https://duckduckgo.com/.

Interestingly, this doesn’t happen if I have a SIM card from Telekom inside the phone. Then no problems occur.
But with SIM cards from the norwegian ice, or Telenor are inside, the problems rise.
It is a single SIM phone.

Tried:
- Clearing cache and local storage - then it only crashes when tapping “Updates”.
- Factory reset.
- Format Data, wipe cache and system in TWRP and re-flash /e/.

OS flashed: https://images.ecloud.global/stable/dreamlte/e-0.17-p-20210530117385-stable-dreamlte.zip
The same happens with ver. e-0.16.

Apps and the browser work fine when connected to WiFi and with mobile data turned off though.

Update:
The only thing that helps is to choose 3G first and then LTE as a “Preferred network type”.
“SIM Tool Kit” refuses to run though.
