process crashing ?

i have a day-old desire which i initially loaded up with a few apps but found that the process would crash when i tried to manage my applications.
i guessed that one of my apps was causing this so i did a hard reset (clear storage).
now when i try and enter my vodafone apn settings the process there crashes.
i've done another hard reset but this hasn't fixed it ...
is there some way that i can fully restore the phone to factory settings or do i now have to return the phone ?
thanks in advance
have found that Privacy / Factory Reset has solved the problem.

'More Games' just loading...

Hi there, Im wondering if anyone can help - This is my first android phone so i feel a bit lost in this forum. Well i recieved the phone and i did a factory reset and now i cant access the 'More Games' in the Xperia Games section. It just says Loading.
The phone is running 2.3.4 and Build 4.0.2.A.0.4.2
any help would be great.
thanks
you can try clearing the apps data go to applications in settings menu then find the app then clear data that mite help
Ive tried that, also tried to reinstall using sony updater. Factory reset + Data reset..
I was half way thru downloading fifa 12 as well
Is there a way i can re-install android or summit?
If you want to re-install the ROM you should try to flash a new one with flashtool.
I have the same problem...
I suspect some files from the SD card might be missing and that causes the problem?
As I did a complete reset recently which included wiping off the SD card.
I would GREATLY appreciate advice on this as I don't intend to fiddle with rooting, flashing and so on. Surely there must be an official way to fix this.

[Q] "Sync' Option Causes Reboots

My i19082 goes into a constantly repeating reboot cycle if the "Sync" function is activated. Any suggestions on how to fix this problem?
Thanks in advance for any comments.

More details? Rooted, or installed any custom mods or etc? Try factory reset, if else not working then you will have to flash your firmware again.

Thanks for the response. I'm a novice - how do I find out if the phone is Rooted? How do I do a factory reset? Or, where can I find information on these issues?

Alright, if like that means you haven't play anything on your phone yet, To resolve that, go to Settings > Backup and reset > factory reset your device.
Warning all apps will be lose your apps and all will be reset to default. (*just like you have newly bought your phone)
You can backup your SMS messages using SMS Backup & Restore app. Search for it in Playstore, If you want to backup your contacts, just export your contacts to SD card.

Is there anything that I could try first that isn't so catastrophic that it wipes out everything on the phone ? . . .

Or, you can try remove all your account and add them again then disable the Sync, See if it helps, if not, try reset your phone. If you are very unlucky even after reset the problem still presist, you should sent to Samsung Service Centre, maybe is hardware related issue.

Unfortunately, Google Search has stopped

Does anyone else has been finding recently that certain apps do not work anymore?
Google search and Linkedin so far, give me "Unfortunately, google search/Linkedin has stopped"
I don't remember installing something that may harm, or doing something to change the software version.
P.S. same thing started a week ago for one colleague with S2, and every day new apps stopped working. At the end, Factory Reset was done, but i don't know the outcome now...

Thanks. I did not manage to get boot into recovery...so factory reset solved the issue for now.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2534420 I recommend to you to install TWRP also, since it has an option for dalvik cache wiping.

Did you try removing your Google account? Reboot and then add it back. It may help.
Edit: Never mind, just remembered a factory reset would have deleted the account already. Sorry.

This is not that helpful of a post. Any time you factory reset, you are doing the exact same thing. Might as well tell people not to flash new kernels or roms.
To the OP, you need to unregister your google account under Settings and then re-add.
This should fix the issue.
No big deal.
you may have to do a factory reset if this doesn't fix it.
