Root [Virgin Mobile] [Error] Shell has been granted Root

Ever since I've rooted my phone I have gotten this message but I consider it more of an error. While using any random app if the said app freezes I get the above message (Shell has been granted Root) repeatedly until I either get a black screen that causes a force reboot or I rapidly exit and kill the app. I looked in Superuser's log and I was shocked. In every instance I got the message 13 times (talk about an unlucky number haha) I find this very odd though I think it has something to do with the filesystem in the phone and not me. I looked all around and all I could find is people talking about this in the context of a Gallery Glitch but it doesn't just happen to me in the Gallery app. Any advice :-/ ?
 
I think this solved an issue for me too. I didn't realize Superuser was causing me to have to force restart my phone. I would get the black screen of death (not to be confused with the blue one). Hopefully, I won't have to force restart anymore.

Yeah I sadly know what you mean because this happened to me on a number of occasions. I installed SuperSU and my phone has been fine so far :D though I made a Nandroid backup of my phone before this in case for whatever reason I need to go back to SuperUser

So, I ran into another problem. I no longer have the black screen of death because I switched to SuperSU. But not my phone does this not charging while charging thing. I plug the changer into it, the red LED light comes on, but it doesn't actually charge. The percentage just stays the same. After fooling with it for quite a few minutes, changing chargers a few times, it'll finally start charging.... sometimes charging very slowly. Any suggestions?

I think I had this problem a reboot usually solves it and it doesn't occur frequently. I don't really know though, that's odd that it's not charging.




Ah I get the same message when I play a game called "Wedding Dash" It's weird because it's the only app that freezes and gives me that message.

I had a similar problem try clearing the app's data and cache (if you don't mind your save files and records being erased) and see if it changes. If not try redownloading it or avoiding the app all together so it doesn't harm your phone. If you're not on SuperSU I suggest doing that first because it gets rid of the message all together.
