[FAQ] Fix some problems without rebooting your N9

From my experiences in the N9 Uptime thread I have compiled the following list of symptoms and their fixes. Commands need to be entered as root (i.e. Developer Mode).

Checking for Updates never completes or unable to install packages with dpkg (Unable to lock the administration directory). (source)

Code:

killall osa

Built-in browser (grob) and mail client (fenix) are unable to find the network, but other applications can. (source)

Code:

/sbin/initctl restart xsession/icd2

Built-in browser (grob) does not start. (source and source)

Code:

killall grob

Accuweather widget no longer updates after exiting Flight Mode. (source)
First make sure Allow Background Connections is enabled, then if Accuweather still does not update:

Code:

/sbin/initctl restart xsession/msyncd

Unable to register on the cellular network or SIM card error. (source)
First try switching cellular network from Dual mode to 3G mode and back again, or enabling then disabling Flight Mode, then if you still cannot register on the network:

Code:

killall csd

or better:

Code:

/sbin/stop csd

/sbin/start csd

GPS icon flashes next to clock and no applications can retrieve position. (source)

Code:

killall positioningd

Virtual keyboard no longer appears when composing SMS or Chat message

Code:

killall messaging-ui
