Soft Resets : What is lost on settings ?
Does one loose any settings when a soft reset is done ?
Battery or light off, registry, third party software settings ???
u would not lose any settings unless u soft reset just after changing something or receiving a text message of which the later would disappear when u soft reset.
To say it in clear words : Nothing get lost when you soft reset. But you should wait a bit when you change data (windows needs a moment to write it from ram into rom).
Data gets only lost if you do a hard reset
@lutzs, if your Universal freezes or crashes and you do a soft reset you may lose data - I have n the past when my Exec froze after email downloads over UMTS
uh i'm sorry i couldn't see this aspect, 'cause i have no Universal and i'm not downloading mail, and my Wizard haven't freeze or crashed yet :lol:
I have just gotten an o2 Wizard and find that the Phone application is very slow to load (if it does at all) soft reset after soft reset it won't work . I've reflashed with "MrClean_RUU_WIZARD_224a_AKU23_WWE.zip" but it's still slow. Has anyone seen this before / any advice....?
P.S Other apps are quick to load no probs.....
Thanks
Re-flashing it seems to have worked (used O2 - "Xda_Minis_Upgrade_v2.21.4.101.exe" from the ftp).....
All settings menus are very slow in first-time load after every soft reset. Latter usage is OK.
phone crashed in browser, completely froze up, i restarted by holding power button down, once it restarted i get a red disk symbol in notification about database storage low and device managment keeps force closing then logs provider keeps force closing.
cant do a thing on the phone, have restarted numerous times..dont know what todo.
i am on JF5 and rooted.
update:
ok hard reset and this has fixed the issue, but would be good to know if anyone else has seen this error, the last app i installed before crash was SEEPU free version, just kept getting constant cycle force closes of logs provider and device managment as mentioned.
Samsung Focus purchased in January. Stock, No updates applied.
It started messing up a few weeks ago, randomly rebooting, etc.
This has since stopped, however there are a few problems still remaining.
- Pictures cannot be saved.
- Recent text messages are gone after a power off/power on cycle.
- Deleted text messages come back after a power off/power on cycle.
- Connection error when trying to connect to PC.
I decided to try a hard reset(format/restore factory settings)
Hard Reset Methods:
1) Dialing ##634# displays a blank screen for a few seconds, then goes back to the regular home screen.
2) Using the 3 hardware buttons... The screens showing 'Formatting' and 'Done!' are displayed, but then phone is right back to where it was before. Everything is the same, nothing has changed.
3) Settings->About->'Reset your phone': Same as above. Displays 'Formatting' and 'Done!', but essentially acts like a soft reset.
I'm getting a replacement phone, however, I'd at least like to be able to wipe and restore the phone I'm sending back.
Any ideas?
It's a known issue. Some phones just refuse to get resetted. Keep trying and wish you luck. I have to reset 3 times to format one of my Focus. Crappy Samsung firmware!
So my phone was constantly rebooting for about an hour until i removed the SD Card after a hard reboot (Power + Volume Up). A normal Hard Reset did nothing. This has happened several times before, but the problem went away, this time I had to remove the SD Card apparently. I use Apex for my homescreen if that helps at all. I don't use a custom ROM, everything is stock.
Sometimes when it reboots it will instantly go to the DROID boot animation, sometimes no audio would play and it would lag at first for a second, then suddenly it will play the animation at lightning fast speeds.
Another issue is at first, for about a minute or so, I CANNOT lock the screen. I can hold the power button down to get to the power off menu, but not lock it.
Again, The problem has stopped, but it WILL return. I was wondering if anyone can help solve this?
P.S. I'm on Verizon
