linux-howto

http://androidforums.com – I had the following problems which were fixed by a factory reset: overall slowness and huge pauses/delays in apps tethering manager force close system locks up for ~10 secs after phone calls shorter battery life phone hangs up by itself I tried several non-reset solutions but the only one that worked is a factory reset. It may be nice for someone to sticky a thread on this or just consolidate threads related to upgrading Captivate from Froyo to Gingerbread? Factory reset is the most fluid/reliable option is seems and all it takes is a little bit of backing up and restoring. (General)

After reading that others have the same issues as I do with ICS (bad battery life, wifi connection problems, and the phone being sluggish) and a factory reset is the "fix" for this, I went ahead and did a factory reset. Surprisingly, the phone had automatically backed up everything..

I have a Galaxy S i-9003 (singapore version) and a few days ago, i officially upgraded my phone from v2.2 FROYO to 2.3.5 GINGERBREAD via kies software now my problem is that when i keep it for charging overnight, i wake up in the morning only to see that my phone has undergone a factory reset process where ALL of my data gats deleted and that to this happens every day!!

First lets understand what a factory reset does. It removes all USER DATA and restores the phone back to factory settings providing that the phone is not rooted. User data is defined as apps, call logs, contacts, and anything else the user has placed in the phones memory. Stuff that is on the SDCARD is not affected by a factory reset.

Hi, the Samsung Galaxy S4 is my first android phone.

I've been playing around, downloading some apps and messing with all the settings for a day or two now and trying out a couple of things.

Hi all, suppose that some apps has damaged my phone and I want to do a factory reset on a stock but promoted ROM.

May I damage the phone by factory reset a rooted stock ROM? If yes how can I reset the phone?

I've done alot of deleting apps etc, to figure out why my phone is just sucking the hell out of my battery, both the factory battery and a Hyperion..

You think if i did a factory reset is might be better perhaps?

Factory reset. 37 weeks 6 days ago

I have had my X2 for 8 months and had been having problems with several apps force closing and the phone generally lagging quite a bit even using apps like Fast Reboot and Air Droid and task managers to clear the cache. It is still unrooted so I decided to just do a factory reset. After the reset, I have noticed a considerable difference in app loading and performance.

As you know the latest Jelly Bean 4.1.1 (DLI) for Samsung Galaxy S III is vulnerable to the USSD reset:

Why is this an issue? AFAIK, it can be triggered via a "tel:" link from any web page.

I finally broke down and did a factory reset today to see if it would help my phone run better. After downloading most of the apps I had before the reset I began to get advertisements in my notification bar. I never got these before. Where might they be coming from and how do I disable them?

Thanks for any help!
