guys need help
hi im using an experia acros S which i resently bought, i need your help on the problem that i myself made..
i factory resetted my phone settings .. problem is i also checked erase usb storage not knowing that it would erase all the default info in my phone to make it worse i forgot to make a backup copy of the settings.
now whats happening is that i cannot modify any settings anymore.
for example i cant change message notification tones it just gives me a pop up screen saying " mesaging is not responding would you like to close it? wait or ok"
same goes with other settings like volume, or picture or walkaman.
when i checked astro folder file manager /mnt/sdcard all thats left are 5 folders and 2 txt icons "customized capability and default capabilitiy.
to make my long story short.. is there a way to reformate phone with all the default settings at the time phone was purchased??
You can update the phone again using PC companion. Back up personal things first ( phonebook, sms, apps..).

Hello Everyone,
As you know, when you have multiple apps that can fulfill the same function Android asks you to choose one as the default. My problem is, if I choose one other than the built in Android app (like "Browser") it will lose it's setting after reboot. I've tried searching the forums for a solution but most of the threads deal with how to clear the default app setting and don't deal with how to make the default app settings permanently stick. I've tried apps like "Default App Manager" but after reboot it still resets. Can anyone suggest a solution to this issue? Thanks.
are you checking the checkbox on the bottom that says "Remember my Decision" (well something like that) when asked which action to do? you gotta check that dude..
Yes, I have been doing that! That of course was the first thing that I did: Check the box to remember and than click on the app. That's why I find this behavior so strange. I notice this was happening on both the R800a build that came with the phone, and the new .368 rom that I just loaded. Note that I also made it a point to keep these programs on the phone memory rather than the SD card, but it still makes no difference.
Same problem here...
at least don't nag.. was just trying to help
Sorry, to sound like I was nagging on you. I just assumed the obvious but I should have clarified that in my original post.
Try using different alternative apps. Like opera or dolphin for browser

Hi Cat,
That's what I'm doing, but the problem is when an app requires the browser to be opened it will ask for me to choose an app. I check the box at the bottom and then click on Opera. This will be remembered by android as long as I don't reboot the phone. The minute I reboot the phone it will forget what I set and ask me to choose a default app again. This is quite annoying.
Did you edit your build. Prop?
Deleted any system apps?

I only froze things like facebook etc. and have the problem of reconfirming default actions again and again. Someone suggested to make Sure replacement microsd should have same volume name like PHONE CARD or whatever original was. I,m not at my pc so cannot check if that fixes it. Hope it helps

Sometimes if you are getting Force-Closes, the system will reset the "Default" action for that intent if the intent failed with a force close of an app. Are you getting many FCs?
*shrugs* Past that, not sure what would be causing it. Maybe another app?
Hello, I am new here obviously but I need a little of your help please.
I have a Xperia Play (I think it was rooted, because my friend rooted it with something - I have no idea how to root), and last night I downloaded the GO Launcher and Go Locker to have a "change" in my phone home screen and lock screen, for something new, I guess?
Anyway, I set my gesture as a password in Go Locker, and the pop-up message was "Do you want us to email you an photo of your gesture in case if you forget", I obviously accepted and they emailed me.
When everything was all set, I am happy with my phone using Go Launch system. Then right on the next day, I entered my gesture as what I entered last night, it said it is wrong. I did it again and again and again, still wrong. I was shocked thinking that the gesture must have changed or whatever overnight that I have no idea about.
Anyway, this morning (now), I tried to plug in the mass media to my phone so I can check the files, I got in even though my phone is locked out but I tried to find the GoLocker file.
I found it, but I am not sure if it is the actual file because it is full of themes plugin and the numbers from 0 to 17 as a file itself. I thought if I'd delete the Go Locker file itself, and restart my phone - it would be gone.
But I am still unsure if I should or not. So I checked AppData, but there are no files. I am a computer-freak on the Windows 7 but I have no idea what to do in Android system.
Where do they save the GoLocker files so I can delete it?
Oh! Just realised, speaking of the GoLocker photo email, I checked my email account, there is an email yes but there is NO photo attachment or whatever. It just said "If forget your gesture, click on the attachment to see it" ... lol? There are no attachments.
I am quite shocked when it happened, because it shouldn't happen at all.
Any kind of help would be greatly appreciated.
I doubt that will uninstall go locker ; important app files are stored on the phone itself in the data folder ; only other viable option I can think of for you is uninstalling go locker via adb which will require some simple copying and pasting into a command prompt on windows 7 .
Here's a link which tells you how to do it(see second post) http://android.modaco.com/topic/297207-removal-of-apps-via-adb/
You will however have to find the app name yourself..

I would suggest removing go locker from your phone temporarily, by setting up ADB on your computer, plugging your phone in, and typing this command:
adb rm data/app/com.jiubang.goscreenlock-1.apk
If that doesn't work, I'm not sure how to help...

ADB? Can you explain what ADB is?
I tried to access data/app, but it won't allow me for some reasons I don't know why.
Temporarily, what do you mean of that? That means in few days time, it will come back and lock again?
You've got 2 threads going on the smae thing : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=23934132#post23934132

No i have not, im unrooted so i cannot search thru files in order to delete the root directory of these,
i should make a note on this as i think the cause was a app called ANDROID DEFRAG, <--- i recommend staying away from that app.
i tried loading a few of the pics via sharing / open with messaging app and a few showed.
all the details for the pics are there except for ORIENTATION which shows ZERO .
none of these pics show in connection to pc either cannot locate the files, like to edit them to try and make them appear but at this point a way to delete the files would suffice!
