NOKIA X6 Back-up and Hard Reset

i backup my phone everyday. Now ive have this freezing problem an my phone wont switch on. Just incase i want/need to do a hard reset, i want to know what the back up ..backs up?.....does it save contacts, images etc?....
and IF i do a hard reset....what will i loose?

@aircadetgirl. Further to my above post, I back up to PC Suite which backs up the following:
User files from phone memory
User files from mass memory
Contacts
Calendar
Notes
Messages
Bookmarks
Settings - Phone model - specific backup.
As you back up your phone daily I would suggest you do the following:
On the phone dialer type *#7370#. You will need the security code, 12345 unless you have changed it. This will take your phone back to the state it was in when you took it out of the box.
After the above operation completes use your phone for a period of time to see if it works satisfactorily. If it does, reinstate your last update and see what happens.
Let us know how you go.

    This is the second macbook pro i have owned in the past two weeks.  I am ready to return it for good if this is a chronic issue. Please help if you have had this same issue.

    Try a SMC reset:

  • 7.1.2 update failed. Now my iPhone 5 is in recovery mode and hard resetting does not work for me. iTunes also will not detect my phone now

    I did my 7.1.2 update via iTunes. Half way through it stopped working saying it does not detect my phone. Now my iPhone 5 is in recovery mode and hard resetting does not work for me. iTunes also will not detect my phone now

    Thank you SO very much for posting this. I had the exact issue with my iPad Mini after the same upgrade. Hard reset failed, computer would not recognize iPad. I had read all the other instructions and nothing worked.... YOUR SOLUTION WORKED FOR ME - with a slight variation.
    I followed your lead and connected my iPad Mini to another computer, fired up iTunes, it saw the iPad Mini in Restore Mode and allowed me to go into Restore (yes, it wiped all of the data but I have a back up on the other computer that would not see it after the failed update). It installed the latest iOS 7.1.2 as well. I then disconnected it from that computer, reconnected it to the computer that would not see it prior and it then saw it as a new iPad and allowed me to Restore my backup and now it's all good!
    I detailed my steps only because you downloaded the previous version - 7.1.1 whereas I downloaded the latest version (7.1.2) and then restored my back up.

    Hi Philjp,
    If you are having issues connecting to your Airport Time Capsule, even after a factory reset, you may find the following article helpful:

    If they are not available in SW update in menu or at the store you may need to have the phone re-flashed at a Nokia Care Point !

  • Nokia c7 pr 1.2 hard reset

    Greetings all.
    My C7 has been giving me alot of problems so I am planning on installing pr 1.2 via ovi suite and doing a hard reset. *#7370# hasn't worked so this is whats left. Does anyone know if this will delete Maps, Social and Store and the Qt support like it did with the original firmware or will I be fine? I've already sent it to Nokia twice and they didn't seem to do anything. This is a last resort. Thank you for any help.

    No, you will not lose anything if you update your device. But if you want to be 99% sure that you will not lose any apps or files, then just back-up your stuff before updating.
    P.S. Avoid installing unnecessary apps so that you don't face so many problems with your C7.

  • IPod Touch - Songs don't play and hard reset needed to turn on

    I had not used my iPod touch in about a month.  It was on the dock during that time.   I have two problems.  One is that I keep having to do a hard reset to turn it on.  Second is that once it is turned on (and it indicates there is a full charge) iTunes will not play any of the songs selected.  I select, the app appears as though it will begin playing the song, but then stops as soon as the song begins and reverts back to the selection screen.  After a few minutes of this, the iPod goes dead again.  Is this a battery issue?  If so, can it be fixed and is it worth the $$ to fix?

    Yes it sunds like a bad battery.  I would mak an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store to verify.  Apple will replace the battery for $79.  A third-party place like this one is less expensive.  Google for others.

  • How to format and hard reset N79? *#7370# does onl...

    Hi!
    I tried to format my Nokia N79 with *#7370# but all applications and contacts ect are still there. Is there a way to complettly reset and format the phone? 
    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    I did this on my phone and most of the problem was being fixed by doing this, but doing this is just easy crazy.... I still have the phone lock issue.... the nokia says the default phone lock was 12345 unless changed.... My phone lock was never been changed but that 12345 never work.... I had tried this hard reset but phone lock was never been reset....
    @gooran - here are the steps with that green button, asterisk, and 3 then power on
    1) switch-off your phone
    2) press and hold these three buttons: green call key, asterisk(*), the number 3 key (def). Make sure don't let go of these three keys unti you had pressed the power key for seconds
    3) your phone may display formatting/deleting, or no display at all, as what haPpened to me, it has no display but others say it would have display....
    4) switch-on your phone and you're done!

  • Nokia N8 maps problems after hard reset.

    I quote the sticky with the same title
    quote
    There have been some cases where users have used the 3-fingered hard-reset method on their N8 devices and lost Ovi Maps in the process. It is not yet possible for N8 users to redownload the application from nokia.com/maps, a situation that will be fixed in the near future with a new release of the Maps application.
    In the meantime, if you find yourself in this situation, please contact the Nokia Care line for your country, copies of the necessary SIS installation file have been distributed to contact centres to pass on to N8 users until the Maps web page is updated.
    Please note that it is not wise in general to use the 'three-fingered suicide' as a method of troubleshooting issues with your phone, this procedure is intended to attempt to revive a device that will not boot, in which circumstances you already know that everything is going to be lost before starting.
    unquote
    So I went to the local Nokia care line center nearby.  The technician told me in order to re install Ovi Maps on the phone I had to leave it for a few days under repair.   When I mentioned that it was purely software installation (and I only needed the SIS file) and not a technical repair and I could not leave my phone behind for several days the manager mentioned this was Nokia policy.  Obtaining the SIS file was not possible.
    The manager himself mentioned "that is why I use an Iphone" and me as unpleased customer left this Nokia "we do not" care line center.
    So be aware the if you want to have the ovi maps app reinstalled on the phone, it could well take a few days.
    Nomic.

    Perhaps if you go over to Nokia Beta Labs: http://betalabs.nokia.com/apps/ovi-maps-306
    and ask nicely in the correct thread, you might find that kee takes pity on you. However since release of .sis file to Nokia Care Points whom can't be bothered with N8 woes as they consider carrying out a "hard reset" an own goal, they (Nokia Beta Labs) might now expect resolution via this method.

  • Time Machine won't back up after hard reset

    Computer froze up while backing up to Time Machine and I had to do a hard reset.  Now, I can't get the computer to back up at all.  So far it has stayed on "Preparing Backup..." for about 45 minutes now.  Tried to restart, unmount/remount, and delete the .inprocess file, all to no avail.  Any suggestions?

    Time heals.  Problem solved.  Now I wish I could delete these two posts!

  • 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

    A reset and restore are two different things.
    You're restoring the phone as new - so no your pictures won't come back to your phone, if you sign into icloud - maybe your photo stream pics.
    You should import your pictures in your camera roll to your computer Import photos and videos from your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch to your Mac or Windows PC - Apple Support  then after setting up your phone as new you can sync those pictures back to your phone using iTunes iTunes: Syncing photos - Apple Support
    to get pictures back from icloud, you would need to restore back from your icloud backup.

  • Photo Booth and hard reset

    Recently I wanted to show my friend photo booth. I chose it from the dock, but it kept jumping without coming on. I launched activity monitor to see if something wasn't eating my RAM, but it showed only photo booth in red. I then tried to force quit it, but it didn't quit. Suddenly a beachball appeared and kept spinning and spinning.... until I had to go. So I did a hard reset, because none of the applications responded. After half an hour I turned it on and the same thing happened again. What shall I do? How can I check what happened? (i.e. history of the system) Plus how can I check whether my OSX is instaled properly and I don't need to reinstal it. I adore this computer, but I shouldn't be afraid to launch photo booth.
    P.S. I had to do a hard reset on my last wincomp after a month, not after a week. This certainly isn't what I call stable. Thank you for any suggestions.

    Hi asheeshapple,
    Welcome to the Apple Support Communities!
    If your MacBook Pro is not recognizing the iSight camera in FaceTime or Photo Booth I would recommend reading over and working through the troubleshooting steps in the Built-in iSight cameras section of the attached article.
