Hard factory reset and my findings

Alright...I decided to do a hard reset on my phone after having a few issues with froyo. I had TK taskiller installed previous to doing a hard reset. The two biggest issues I had was my texting seem to lag when I was texting. Like it couldnt keep up. The other issue was my batter would go from 100% to like 86% within an hour of little to no use.
I performed a hard rest. (powered off phone, press the down volume and press the power button, select clear storage.) This complete resets phone, even had to reactivate the phone.
Charged phone all night as usual. Had it turned off while charging throught he night, as usual. Battery was still at 100% even after an hour. Phone was at 86% at 2pm. I took it off the charger at 7am, mind you. Also I did not reinstall my app killer after hard resetting but I did reinstall all apps the I previously had. I exported contacts to sd card before resetting so all I had to do was import them back to phone after reset. There is no longer any lag in my text usage.
My findings....battery performance has definitely increased, in fact it is almost 9pm and batter is at 76%. This is an extended battery, mind you, but...it was the same battery that was below 50% at this time before the reset.
In summary, the small issue with texting has been resolved and my battery is definitely lasting longer. As to why the battery lasts longer, wether it was due to reset or just not having app killer, I do not know. So yeah....hard reset and no app killer worked great for me!

I also did a hard factory reset. I was using the 3500 extended battery, and after the upgrade to 2.2, what used to be 6 days on a single charge was reduced to only 2 days. So, I did the hard factory reset. I DID NOT find that to be helpful with the battery usage.
But, what I did find is that if I leave my WiFi turned on, the battery drains much more quickly than if I shut it off and only turn it on when needed. However, this was not a problem under 2.1. I left the WiFi on all the time.

Have a Droid Razr M that is stuck in the reboot screen. I tried a hard reboot and a factory reset, and it still gets stuck in the reboot screen. How long should I wait for the reboot to occur until it starts back up?

Have a Droid Razr M that is stuck in the reboot screen. I tried a hard reboot and a factory reset, and it still gets stuck in the reboot screen. How long should I wait for the reboot to occur until it starts back up? I tried the steps for a factory reset given on this site, but it still does not want to work. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Hello otter314!
Let's take a look into this to see if we can figure out what happened. When did this begin? What's the software version of the device? Do you remember what was happening with the device right before this started? Please supply me with some additional information, I'm happy to help with a resolution!

Spontaneous hard factory reset

Two days ago, I turned on my iPad to play a little GodFinger. I found that the "Connect to laptop" starting screen was on. I figured this was some way Apple had of forcing customers to take an update for security reasons or some such. Imagine my shock when I found out that this was a spontaneous hard factory reset. I have to take a sync from 6 weeks ago and reset from there. I'm furious. I cannot believe that I'm alone with this symptom. Has anyone else suffered this?
Curious,
Matthew

Just back from vacation in Arizona, where I bought the iPad2.
Had it now for 2 weeks, everything fabulous.
Updated to OS ver 4.3.1 yesterday.
Downloaded various apps, incl. Numbers etc.; keeping them in 6 folders, so that all are accessible from main home screen.
THEN DISASTER:
(sorry if longwinded, but I want to give as much background as possible - I don't want to hard-reset if at all possible!)
A couple of hours ago I created various test emails on the Mac, each with a different file attached, e.g. jpg, txt, doc, pdf, xls etc. and sent them out.
Then, from the iPad, I looked at these emails in 'Mail'.
They all opened ok, and apart from an wmv video file I could open all of them.
While in Mail and looking at one of the files, pdf I believe, things went wrong.
I could not get out of the viewing screen back to the mail box menu.
Pressing the Home button got me back to the Home screen.
Touching Mail icon brought the 'frozen' file view again.
So I pressed the 'Off' button. Screen went blank and the little rotating whirl appeared in the screen's centre.
AND THATS THAT !!
It has been whirling now for over an hour. Pressing either Home or Off button, even for 10 seconds or more, does not change anything.
I then connected the iPad to the Mac.
iTunes gave error code 0xE8000065 and ''connected iPhone can't be read...''
So now I have plugged the iPad into the mains, via the power cord, so as not to run out of battery charge.
Tomorrow (UK time) I shall call Apple Care.
Any thoughts???

Can you help me?

If you restored to factory settings/new iPod and still have the problem that indicates a hardware problem.
Make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store..

The iPhone has a feature called "Activation Lock" described here:

Nokia Asha 501 Factory reset and keyboard bug

When you do a factory reset and restore the phone to the last back up point, your app store and xpress browser stops working. I have tried accessing the internet via wifi and not the mobile internet.
You just do the factory reset and download an app or surf internet on xpress browser, it works perfectly fine. However once you do the restore it stops working. You can surf internet using Opera mini, that means wifi internet is working fine on the phone.
Error on app store: 'Downloading Failed'.
Error on xpress browser: 'can't load this page at the moment. Please try again later'.
Keyboard Bug:
when typing in portrait mode, keys on extreme right side (P,L,backspace and enter) are less resposive to touch. Same is the case of the keys on the extreme left side (Q,A,Caps and symbol). I have to keep on touching in order to make it work.
Nokia team, please find a solution to this asap. My phone is not even one month old. This is really diappointing.
Let me know if you need more details.

About the backup and restore thing, i don't know why Nokia decides to cut out the good features. The backup and restore system in older S40/Asha phones worked better as users were allowed to select what is backuped. Backing up and restoring pre-installed apps always creates a problem.
I hope Nokia will update the backup application and include the option to select what is backuped. Until then the problem will remain.

I have ipad mini 2 updated to ios 7.1.2. Now ipad keeps shutting down and rebooting to the apple logo. I factory reset and redownloaded software in recovery mode. Still happening. What else can I do?

I have ipad mini 32gb. I updated to IOS 7.1.2. Since then ipad keeps shutting down and rebooting to the apple logo. It happens so many times I cannot use the ipad. I have tried factory reset and reinstalled software in recovery mode. Ipad is only 1 1/2 years old and in great condition. Is there anything else I can do besides soend $200 to fix it?

Sounds like a hardware issue to me going by the CRC error you mentioned. I'd make a Genius Bar reservation (you'll need your Apple ID) if you have a nearby Apple Store and get it evaluated. The evaluation is free but repair/replacement could incur other charges.

Understood, the difference with iTunes being that Apple doesn't (currently) require you to enter any account info on the device until you try to purchase something from their store. Initial setup is just a connection to the iTunes software and you're good to go.
While I understand that RIM wishes the account to be defined, they also need to be aware that doing so during the initial setup without proving an option to do it later, while failing to provide any means to change it afterwards (short of a device wipe) doesn't always suit the the situation. Hopefully they'll be reviewing the forums to gather feedback that they can incorporate into future software updates.

IPad 2 factory reset and backup recover issue.p

I had to perform a factory reset and recover on my iPad 2. iTunes only found a backup file from April of 2014. However I backup my iPad every month. I really need to recover my notes, contacts and pictures Without losing my current updates. I found a more recent backup on an external drive but iTunes overwrote it when I followed the self help instructions. Also there are 4 Apple products being backed up on my PC and I do not know how to tell them apart. Has anyone ever had this issue and know of a valid resolutions? Any assistance would be greatly appreciate.
Thank you!

Hi Since ios 7 when you charge your iPhone or iPad it Automatically backs up To icloud you can do almost everything over your WiFi. So you should have a recent backup. Cheers Brian

Audiobooks are currently a one-time only download from the store, so it won't show for re-downloading. If you haven't got a copy of it anywhere (if it's on your computer's iTunes then it should be in the Books part of your library) and it's still in the store then you can try contacting iTunes support and see if they will grant you a re-download : http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/contact/ - click on Contact iTunes Store Support on the right-hand side of the page, then Purchases, Billing & Redemption
