Factory Reset? - Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers

Hi guys, I have a weird question. I don't know to much about phones, so sorry. I would like to ask: Can Factory Reset somehow harm my phone? for example if I do it once per month? Will i feel difference after one year? For example will it be slower? Sorry for question like that ;D. Have a nice day :good::good::good:

your welcome.. and to be honest, there isnt really much reason to change roms if you dont need to, if your satisfied with the device then leave it be (the theory of, if its not broke then dont fix it applies here) if you think there are things that need to be changed then by all means, read up and do something about it

this person is selling a used 8125
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=286560
and the 8525 is $409 with a 2 year agreement (meaning upgrade or new contract) i think you can also flat out purchase the 8125 from cingular for around $250

there is no virus greater than human error i would suggest investing in a back up program such as SPB or Sprite

only if you think you necessarily need the extra space.. i would probably spend some quality time with the phone, and get to know it a little better before changing it.. it will help to you to get a better idea of what you are looking for, maybe you will want some faster, or more storage.. there are a lot of choices out there that will help cater to your needs

Settings----> Device Information -----> Call Durtion
If You talking about this Guys.... but probably not.....
Salute.
(All) Settings > System > Device Information > Call Duration
As far as I know, the timer can't be reset without some advanced editing that's way beyond the average user (e.g. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=314262)

Stefan,
1:05 HR != 0:00 HR.
As long as a phone even gets a second of talk time on it, it's not "new" anymore. Look up the dictionary on what "new" means.
Cheers.

I will reset the lifetimer with/or without you...And yes with 1:15min it is still new
what your doing is fraud.
You keep saying you will do it without us, please get the **** off XDA then do it, the mods won't take this lightly.

Why exactly do you want to reset it so badly?
If you say 1:15min is still new..... then you shouldn't have to change anything - right? Afterall... it's new.
I personally don't know if it is illegal or not, but I think people here feel your intentions might be a bit.... well.... a bit "suspicious" and they feel they might be helping out a scammer.
I think resetting it would be useful in terms of keeping track of how much time you spend on the phone (for example every month). On my other non windows phones, I could always reset the call duration times (with use of a password). But here, it seems you need third-party software to keep track of usage time every month.
So, again.... why exactly do you want to reset that? You said it yourself... it's still new!

Guys,
Quoted for truth.
You're up to no good, my nostrils are already tingling! I hope the mods do something about it before you try and tell someone, hey bud, buy this from me cause it's new.

QUESTION

hey, i need a question answered and please dont call stupid for asking
since iphone got android ported to it, is there anyway to port iphone OS to htc hd2 or any phone?
thx
It will be cool if we are able to get IOS running in the HD2 , And then a Trible boot loader , HD2 is gonna be a real monster that runs all WinMo , Android , IOS

HD2 would truly be the best phone avaluable with a triple boot loader with IOS and android.
so we have the HD2 running Winmo, Ubuntu, Android, IOS, win95 and 98. I can't wait to get OSX on it too
Sorry, mostbut have to say that this is the most annoying topic name ever. i rule123, wouldnt you love to see whole forums posted threads named as "question"?. So this is not a stupid question but stupidity is the way to post the question.
But to the question, I just guess that is not possible because of the hardware problems?
Just buy an Iphone, problem solved
Stupid....

Good to see that its not only me whos been annoyed by this.
Change it OP....
About the question though, Im not sure if it would be possible.
But the OS is the exact reason i didnt buy the iphone (that and its users....)
And I think allot of HD2 users feel the same.
So even if it was possible, not many people want it....

[Q] Will G2 and MT4G be able to share ROMs like G1 and MT3G?

This is probably a stupid question but I was just curious. I know the rooting procedure is nearly identical for both so I thought I would ask.
With my MT3G I would often look through the G1 section for ROMs, wondering if it will be the same way here?

Most of the roms in the magic forum were geared toward 32a anyway, but i don't anticipate that being an issue with mt4g. Let's see what happens.
Please post questions in Q&A section. Thanks
in that case can we go even further to ask if the the kernels for overclocking the g2 will work with the mt4g?..

I dont think we will be able to do this because we have two different processors.

lol, yup. I overclock the **** out of my mt3g, but that's because it desperately needs it. Just flashed ezterry's 614 kernel the other night, and wow, what an improvement. It's still slow, but not nearly as bad as it was.
Once I have a clean version of Android on the mt4g (CM6 or anything without sense) I can't imagine I'll ever need to overclock.

That's true. When I first OC'd my mt3g to 245-528, it ran much faster and battery life actually improved significantly. Why in the HELL they didn't set it that way from the factory is beyond me.

[Q] Please answer my question! (HTC HD2 ICS)

As the page doesnt let me post my question on the original post (i know the redundancy) (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1354267) , i gotta ask if ANY nand rom of ice cream sandwich will have face recognition¿
Thanks
Are you serious? With the camera on the back? This would be quite difficult.
When I tried Beta10 of ICS I didn't see any option like this, but I haven't explicity look for it.
Also, NFC won't work, too
I know it would be hard but also it would be awesome lol

With a back facing camera, and no front facing camera? Are you trolling or something? Why the hell would you even want that anyway, it would just make unlocking the phone even more effort than a pattern or pin security :/

You know what. You are right. Also it would be awesome for someone of developers program Leo to make breakfast or something like that. And to dont use battery or at least I mean at least makes it solar charge.
I think you asked the most stupid question ever on Leo forums (and I read a lot)
I was just asking a curiosity i had ¬¬ , i thought i could ask every doubt i got.

Yes generaly you can ask everysthing. But think about it. You know that on this forum there is 1000 same questions ? I mean how can you eventualy think to have FR without front camera ? Can you drive car without wheels ? No!
Ehh so? Ill use with the back camera and i know a lot of people that wouldnt care of using the back camera because that idea is new and fresh and not all phones have it. Thats why i asked it, so you think my question ia stupid? Fair enough but nex time you read another "stupid" question think it twice what youll submit.
