Hard reset resolved ICS Issues

I was having all sort up problems with the ICS update. Severe Lag switching between screens. Internet access would just lock up.
Received a phone call from Verizon Tech and he told me that a hard reset seemed to take care of the problems. He advised doing a back up and removing the memory card and these instructions:
From a home screen, select All apps (located at the bottom).
From the All apps tab, select Settings.
Select Storage.
Select Factory data reset.
Select Reset phone.
If presented with unlock screen, draw / enter the required pattern, PIN or password.
Select Erase Everything.
This has resolved all my issues. I did have to reload a few apps but the phone responds faster and the battery life has improved a lot.

I also was having problems after the ICS update. After reading some of the posts on this Forum, decided to do a Factory Reset. Backed up everything and reset the phone. Now all the issues I had went away and the Phone works great.

  • Ios 7.1 update two weeks ago ruined my iphone 5.  The ringer will reset to vibrate all by its self. A soft reset resolves the issue for only 5 min then back to vibrate. System restore and restore to factory settings has the same effect.

    I have had no problems with my iphone 5 until the very next day after I updated to ios 7.1. My phone is 26 days out of warranty, sorry says Apple, we have one for $269 though. Clearly this is an issue with the update that has broken my perfectly good phone and now I am stuck with this thing of a phone....

  • IPad not responding after hard reset

    My iPad 2 is not responding normally, voice assistance has turned on automatically, I need to triple tap icons to open, and the device is generally operating slowly. I have tried a hard reset, but the issue remains and I can't seem to find the reset function in the general menu settings. Anyone else experienced similar problems. Any assistance greatly appreciated?

    If you cannot remember the passcode, you will need to restore your device using the computer with which you last synced it. This allows you to reset your passcode and resync the data from the device (or restore from a backup).
    If you restore on a different computer that was never synced with the device, you will be able to unlock the device for use and remove the passcode, but your data will not be present.
    You may have to force iPad/iPod into Recovery Mode

  • Need Help -- after hard reset sync issues

    Hi
    My Centro was frozen and I performed a hard reset.  Everything was backed up on my computer.  I synced it, worked fine.  Problem is when I sync it again, EVERY time it sees the device as new and asks me if I want to name it or sync with the old device name.  So every time I sync it is "restoring" my device.
    In bluetooth manager the phone has the same profile name as in hotsync.
    Not sure what else to do, I don't want it to "restore" every time I sync?
    Post relates to: Centro (Verizon)

    In Palm Desktop, is the username the same as the hotsync name on the Centro? Do you have more than 1 username in Palm desktop?
    When it asked for the username, I assumed the name you used is the username in Palm desktop that has the data.
    One thing you can try is to export the data from the current username, create a new username in Palm desktop, import the data into the new username, hard reset the Centro, connect to the PC, use the new username you created when it asks for the username and complete the sync. See if that may resolve the issue.
    The best way to preserve your data is to export the data in each category in Palm Desktop to a seperate folder on your PC.
    Create a new folder on your PC somewhere that is convenient. Name it something like Palm Desktop Data. Click on the link below and follow the instructions on that page for the export procedure.
    http://www.palm.com/cgi-bin/cso_kbURL.cgi?ID=28734
    Make sure you select all for the range in the export window.
    With the data saved in the folder you created, make a copy of that folder and save to a flash drive, cd-rw or external hard drive.
    Anytime you make a change in Palm Desktop, export the data that was changed to that folder and save again to the external media.
    With this process you can always import the data back into Palm Desktop anytime you have a problem with the data in Palm Desktop or if your computer/hard drive/device crashes.

    Having horrible service with 4GLTE I have had 3G for several weeks (I am not the only person I know having this problem), I have reset my network settings and it did not resolve the issue.  I am also unable to send SMS and text messages without them either failing or not sending at all.  Is there an outage in the Cleveland, Ohio area (zip codes 44129, 44134, 44137) or anything else I can do to resolve this issue?

    Not that I'm a Verizon employee, but I have experience in the field. An LTE tower will only extend up to, on a perfect day, with no elevation, 6-7 miles. On a typical day, you will be lucky at four (4) miles. The three ZIP codes you've given are all within about a 12 mile radius. That would mean that 2-3 towers are currently down at the same time, and Verizon would know about it within the hour. Being it's Cleveland, I'm sure they would receive numerous calls regarding an outage of that size.
    My point is that if you're having issues in all three ZIP codes, chances are it's a phone issue. If you're handset is simply not receiving LTE, but still receiving 3G, that would signify a SIM card issue. You need to get your SIM card replaced.

    I just got my replacement phone from Warranty. The phone was on for just 2 hours and it crashed. I was told that motorola knows about this "possible" issue. I got a new sim, hard reset, If it can be done I did it. They are now sending me the same phone again. Number 3. I would hope this one doesn't crash but I rather have a different phone so I can enjoy using my account. The phone's most recent error was today. " Unfortunately, the process com.motorola.widget.circlewidget3d" has stopped. At least the error message works and it's polite. I told tech this and they could not answer my question or help me other then "let's do a hard reset" My warranty replacement is coming on Monday. Let's hope this one works. Anyone else havinbg the same problem. it says "such and such as stop working" on all sorts of stuff! Help! I want my iPhone Back!

    I just did a google search on this issue. OMG, I got a ton of videos on this or similar issues. Each one says in some way to clear the cache, reset the data, etc. Why in the world would this continue to happen and they not do a fix that resloves this without having to lose or stop what your doing. This is a very long and constant issue it seems with Android phones as there must have been pages and pages of what I now call "Unfortunately"  So I am going to pray that Verizon helps me  out and gets me away from this issue and helps me go back to iPhone or try the Samsung.

    VPN-User,
    Ok - I see the list of issues and will ensure our X300 specialist takes a look at it.   
    Please do understand that while you have put together a very coherent list, I try to ensure priority to threads in which multiple customers are focused on a single issue, as we deliver the most benefit to the community in working on those.   This forum is primarly a peer to peer discussion forum rather than a Lenovo chat / tech support where we try to solve each and every issue put forth.
    Individuals with a long list of issues on a particular machine may find benefit from either contacting technical support and working through their list, or publishing it as you have done and wait for other users of the same system to share their experiences.
    Thanks for your patience

  • I have recently upgraded my iMac to 10.6.8 and now find that the upload photo to Facebook facility no longer works. I have reset Safari but this has not resolved the issue - any suggestions?

    I have recently upgraded my iMac to 10.6.8 and now find that the upload photo to Facebook facility no longer works. I have reset Safari but this has not resolved the issue - any suggestions? I can click on the "upload photos/video" field and it takes me to Finder to select the photo - but on selecting the photo, the Finder screen disappears as normal but from then on nothing happens.

    From your Safari menu bar click Safari > Preferences then select the Privacy tab.
    Click:  Remove All Website Data
    Now empty the Safari cache.
    Back to the menu bar, click Safari > Preferences then select the Advanced tab.
    Select:  Show Develop menu in menu bar
    Now click Develop from the menu bar. From the drop down menu click Empty Caches.
    Quit and relaunch Safari then try Facebook.
    If that doesn't help, it may be a Safari extension preventing you from uploading content to Facebook.
    From the Safari menu bar click Safari > Preferences then select the Extensions tab. Turn that OFF, quit and relaunch Safari to test.
    If that helped, turn one extension on then quit and relaunch Safari to test until you find the incompatible extension then click uninstall.

  • We are losing memory from the hard drive, how can we resolve this issue?

    We are currently have a memory leakage from our hard drive.  We have an Apple imac running snow leopard.   The memory appears to shrink as we use our computer..  This is a conundrum for us, any advice on how to resolve this issue would be appreciated..

    This is normal.   Mac OS X dynamically assigns memory as needed.    If you are down to the last 15% of free space, this can get out of hand, and I recommend keeping your hard drive clean of non-essential files*:

  • Touchscreen calibration issues on palm tx after hard reset

    my palm tx touchscreen stopped working.so i did hard reset and deletted all data.now when it reboots, i see the screen with the bullseye target and stylus.i am unable to calibrate the screen with stylus.if i keep touching the screen with my finger,the target would move to the other corner and it keeps on doing this, and i can not get past this screen.IS THERE ANY FIX FOR THIS PROBLEM.PLEASE POST
                                                THANKS
    Post relates to: Palm TX

    Hello and welcome to the Forums.
    Unfortunately if you have truly done the hard reset as stated and the issue persists, the only thing left at this point is to setup a repair or replace of the device.
    To discuss repair options you can contact us at 866-935-7256 to see what the options are. Also you can go to DirectFix.com and they have replacement parts and do repairs as well.
    Hope this helps.

  • N8 wlan and hard reset issues, help please

    Have a nokia N8, after installing Connectivity analyser beta from beta labs, my wifi reception has become very poor. i ave a wireless N router and before this date the signal was very strong. my friend has an N8 also, he tested the rooms i was having signal issues to see if the router was the problem, however he had excellent signal, leading me to think it was my phone. i uninstalled the app and he weak signal remained, i did a factory reset and the problem remeained, i did a hard reset and the problem is still there, I now have the added problem of no Ovi Suite and other Qt related app issues. Help please, this is really annoying. btw this is my second N8, really getting annoyed at Nokia now. any further specs, please ask

    As synth_fg rightly points out it takes quite a bit of tinkering to recover from "hard reset" on N8. To give you an idea what would be involved:-
    Download from Ovi Store website the sis installer of WordPress and install it on phone (wordpress install also Nokia Smart Install and all QT and PIPS components)
    Launch Ovi Store on phone: which will download the .sis installer and should work without any error
    Reinstall Social_1_2_update.sisx from here: http://nmota.messaging.nokia.com/clients/Social_1_​2_update.sisx
    At this point you are still without OVI Maps but you can install v3.06 pre-release from Nokia Beta Labs: http://betalabs.nokia.com/apps/ovi-maps-306 which will allow you to pinch to zoom on your N8

  • Solving Centro hotsync issues without a hard reset

    I have a Centro (sprint).  I am running Windows Vista.  I cannot connect with hotsync.  Whenever I try, I get the following message -- "The connection between your handheld computer and the desktop could not be established.  Please check your setup and try again."  I went through the article referenced at the beginning of this forum and performed all the suggestions (reloaded Palm desktop 6.2, the outlook 2007 update, soft restart, etc.).  I took it to a repair center and they stated the ONLY way to fix it was to do a hard reset which would lose all info.  Since I can't hotsync, I haven't been able to backup the phone which means I'll lose everything.  I'm hoping there are some other suggestions I could try.  It seems contrary that the only way to solve a hotsync issue and save your data is to do a hard reset and lose all your data.  Thanks.
    Post relates to: Centro (Sprint)

    Is your Vista 64 bit or 32 bit? 
    Try performing a warm reset of your device... Take out the battery press and hold the UP button insert the battery while holding the UP navigator button wait until you see set date and time then release the button. Connect the phone back to the PC and try perform a hotsync.

    Bought the Iphone 6   2 days ago. My mac pro finds the phone on bluetooth but phone will not discover ANY bluetooth divices. Have hard reset the phone and restarted as well. nothing. Any suggestions or issues. This is the first apple phone I have owned. Am not very happy that Bluetooth would present a problem.

    I can't help with the other devices but note that an iPhone will not pair via Bluetooth to a computer (Mac or Windows) except for personal hotspot and then only if your cellular plan supports it. https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-7722
    If you are attempting to use Handoff/Continuity, that does involve Bluetooth but the devices are NOT paired; Bluetooth just needs to be on and the devices in range of each other. The following may help with Handoff/Continuity issues: http://support.apple.com/kb/TS5458
