Is there a reboot app that will actually soft reset the phone instead of just restarting android? It should be possible since the wipe phone function under setting soft rest my phone.
Quick Boot by Sirius Apps Ltd. is in the market

i just want to know if someone of you knows about a program (like deep freeze in windows for pc)who can revert back to my initial program instalations and configs without hard reset?...cause hard reset wipe out every other program that i installed after rom install...
Go to Start/ Settings/ Buttons, Buton 1 should have the GPS icon against it, select this then at the bottom of the page where it says assign a program use the drop down box to select the application you want to open with the button - Mike
hey mike...as you probably see i am a newbie and i want to thank you very much for your quick help...yes i did it ...now i have another app on that button....
someone heared about a program( like deep freeze for pc)to revert my instalations and configs back after soft reset or after restart?
A soft reset will not wipe any data from your device, in fact soft resetting a PDA based phone is a regular event and not something to worry about.
Should you ever need to hard reset the device you will wipe everything and put it back to out of the box as new condition - to easily recover from this situation I use Sprite Back up. It can create self installing backup files so even when you are away from the PC you can still recover the PDA - Mike
well...thank you mike for your kindness and for being so helpful..i know about programs that make images from my device but i am looking for a program like deep freeze but for ppc.i am using this on my pc and i never had problems with viruses or odd programs behaviour.It keeps the same my configs and settings too.
I've been trying to find the right information but struggling. I am having my Desire exchanged for a new one as mine has a minor fault. T-mobile have been great in getting this exchanged.
My issue is that I want to be able to store all my information somewhere first and I think I know how to do that on to the SD card.
My more important issue is to be able to delete all the information from the phone after my backup so things like my facebook details, gmail and everything else is deleted. Will a HARD reset do this and how do I do that? Is there a different way to perform a full reset to ensure everything is gone?
|Thanks...
Factory restore/hard reset, and then you'll need to format the SD card (or remove everything on it)
Turning automatic backup on:
1. From the Home screen, press MENU, and then tap Settings.
2. Scroll down the screen, and then tap Privacy > Back up my data & settings.
3. Select or clear the Back up my data & settings check box to turn automatic backup on or off.
After you do a factory reset, your phone will restart and let you restore the saved data and settings in your storage card back to your phone.
Your phone backs up the following types of data and settings whenever there are new additions or changes:
* Text and multimedia messages
* Settings in the Messages application
* Web bookmarks
* Keyboard dictionary
* Settings in your phone that fall under these categories:
o Wireless & networks
o Sound & display
o Location
o Applications
o Date & time
o Language & keyboard - only the Locale setting
Performing a factory reset (hard reset):
This returns your phone to the state it was in before the first time you turned it on (factory settings).
Note: Factory reset will not remove the data and files that are in your phone’s microSD card.
This will permanently delete all your data and customized settings, and will also remove any applications you've downloaded and installed. Be sure to back up any data and files you want to keep before you do a factory reset.
Performing a factory reset via settings:
The most convenient way to do a factory reset is via the phone settings.
1. From the Home screen, press MENU and then tap Settings.
2. Scroll down the screen and then tap Privacy > Factory data reset.
3. On the Factory data reset screen, tap Reset phone, and then tap Erase everything.
Performing a factory reset using phone buttons:
If you cannot turn on your phone or access the phone settings, you can still perform a factory reset by using the buttons on the phone.
1. With the phone turned off, press and hold the VOLUME DOWN button, and then briefly press the POWER button.
2. Wait for the screen with the three Android images to appear, and then release the VOLUME DOWN button..
3. Press VOLUME DOWN to select CLEAR STORAGE, and then press POWER.
4. Press VOLUME UP to start the factory reset.

No problem at all
Out of interest and as there have been few negatives about this phone, what was the fault you are exchanging for?
Thanks

I rang them up to say the battery life was absolutely dreadful. They said give it a few days to see if building up the charge for a few days combined with the "new phone and let's play with all the new features" syndrome settled the battery life. It hasn't and they suggested either sending a second battery or exchanging the phone. I went for the exchange....
Apart from that, the phone has been absolutely brilliant. Really pleased with almost everything. My only two hmmm's have been that skype don't do their own app for Android and that the F1 app for the iphone isn't available on android (despite its $29 cost!!!)
Thanks. I'll be real interested to learn if the exchange phone improves your bettery life - be sure to let us know!
I bought a HTC desire from Virgin mobile uk which uses t-mobiles network. I had problems with the browser force closing where it started and then quit. I spoke to HTC and then was advised to perform a hard reset using recovery mode. I put the phone in recovery and then immediately got a phone picture with the exclamation mark... i had to remove the battery and tried it again. same problem.
I have found that the second phone i had did exactly the same when i tried to put it in recovery mode..ouch
I'm going to do the backup first so I hope I'll have the info saved..... that's a weird problem you have.
I will let you know how I get on with the replacement but it will have to be when I get back from OZ......
I was hoping to find a pay as you go sim card to put in but my phone is locked to tMobile and also it seems in Australia their data plans are just not there yet...
Hi all,
I am trying to update my 10.1 tab 3 device through the relevant entry in settings, but I get an error about my "device is modified".
I hard reseted the device, and I am still getting the same error. What can be happening?
Maybe you have root your tablet or install new recovery ?
Press and hold power, home, and volume down. You will see a warning screen then press volume up to enter Odin mode on the tablet and check the binary number. If its not 0 your device is modified and you can't update it. You must restore the original Samsung firmware without Root or something else on your device.
No, I have not rooted my tablet. I have only isntalled a few apps from the play store.
I tried to hard reset a few times without any success. I think that erasing everything from the sd card, solved the problem (after a hard reset).
I don't know why, and which app has placed what on the sd card.
I had really few apps, kindle, skype, oasvn, and some apps related to night sky maps. And the official vnc viewer app.
[HELP] "Android system has sttoped working" loop 2 seconds, unable to use screen.
Hello,
Lg g3 (Telefónica / Movistar branded Spanish carrier)
Bought in Jul 2014.
Weeks having reset problems, one day, on a reset, got the msg "Android system stopped working", close, 2 seconds, again same msg, I can't use ths screen to avoid it, just to close the msg window, neither to browse options in those 2 seconds in each loop. I can only use the turn on/off buton, so, when I reset, same stuff again..
I tried to use Recovery Mode (vol-) and I just get the option to restore and WIPE ALL INFO (even files, pics, etc..)... no more options
Tried Lg Suite + Download mode (I can enter in download mode) but the software don't recognice the device.... using original cable,
I need the stuff inside, don't care about the phone thou, will get a new one, but I really need the info inside (no SD, the info inside the internal storage).
Any help?
If you turn off the device, hold down power and volume down. Release them when the lg logo shows then immediately press them again you should get to a factory reset screen. Try performing a factory reset, this will not wipe your files, just all apps and app data
Hi,
thanks for the answer.
that was my first hint, but, as you can see ( imgur.com/ d31OXJi) that menu option says "Delete all user data (including LG and carrier apps) and reset all settings?"..
I do belive this is warning me about wipe all my data including pics, videos, contacts, etc...
Are you 100% sure that wthis will not wipe the entire information?¿
Thanks...
BUMP!
Can anyone help me or confirm us if I do the vol down restart to factory will wipe my pics away??
Thanks...
Really? Noone ever have restored the phone using this option on a g3 to know if the pics will be deleted or not? amazing...
I have a redmi note 8t.
I performed a factory reset and a hard reset (power + vol down) erasing all data. After the reboot, I setup my phone with the same google account. I installed an app of a stream service (its name is infinity) and I got access without password to my profile. My google account has no stored passwords.
To check this behaviour I repeated the procedure.
I removed every google account and I performed a factory reset. Then I performed a hard reset removing all data. This time I set up the phone with a newly created google account. I removed the sd card either.
The first thing I did has been to install this stream service app. Again immediate access.
By the way, if I logout from inside the app at the next access I have to type the password again, but if I uninstall and reinstall this app without logging out, access occurs without password.
I don't understand why it's sufficient to install it after multiple hard reset to have access to my profile.
Thank you
edit:
I checked with another device and this behaviour doesn't occur. Apparently hard reset doesn't erase login credential of this app in this device
