Hello, I was curious if there is anyway to reset Bluetooth Setting without having to factory reset? I know there was using terminal emulator and tying "rm -rf /data/misc/bluetoothd/*" but it's not working on Note 2.
Please let me know, thank you!
Try looking for bluetooth share in application manager and clear data and cache.

Anyone else having issues with google talk always showing offline and never "really" signing in?
I'm on 4.2.1 and am rooted. Any ideas to get google talk to work? All other google apps are working
Did you do a titanium backup and flash a custom ROM? If so I've always found that Talk has issues with being restored from a backup. Best thing would be to not restore it.
If that's not the case just do a wipe and re-install and see if it works again.

so I opened the nexus box... updated to 4.2.1 when prompted... then rooted using the nexus 4 toolkit.
I am really new to the android scene and I tried wiping using the built in "factory data reset" option from the options menu on the phone itself.... that didn't help. If there is another way, how do I wipe and re-install?
thanks
Rather than explain it all in detail there are plenty of good posts already with all the information. I've never found the built-in wipe to be useful.
Here are two good posts.

PS: The Toolkit is great work by the creator BUT it's better to learn ADB and FASTBOOT yourself so that you don't have to rely on the toolkit.
gotcha. thanks so much for the links. after reading them through... i have a question that doesn't seem to be answered there.
once the devices boot loader is unlocked and then the device rooted (lets say at 4.2)... then the phone prompts that there is an update (say 4.2.1) ... if you tell it to go ahead and update.... i'm assuming the boot loader remains unlocked but does the device remain rooted?
thanks!

I don't believe so. AFAIK, rooting is associated with your ROM and is separate from unlocking your bootloader. That said, you just have to reflash the rooting binaries to regain root.
Someone correct me if i'm wrong
so i flashed the factory image of 4.2.1 and before rooting i wanted to check if google talk worked.... and it still doesn't
what can i do?! it doesn't seem to login at all while the gmail app and all the other google apps are working fine.
does no one else really have this issue?
Do you have two-step authentication setup on your Google account?
Can you try signing in with another Gmail account?
If you go into Settings > Accounts > Googleis your account set to Sync with Google services?
Try go into Settings > App > ALL > Talk and Disable it. Clear all data and cache and then re-enable.
are you on wifi or cell data?

wifi... the phone currently doesn't have a sim inside.
Also, I am able to search through previous chats in google talk but it won't show any contacts or even show that I'm online.

No two-step authentication.
Tried another google account but google talk still didnt work.
Under Settings>Accounts>Google all the checkboxes are checked to sync (talk is not listed... should it be?).
Went into Settings>App>ALL>Talk forced stop, cleared, disabled... re-enabled..... still not showing any contacts but search works.
Hmm. I wonder if its the app permissions.
Connect it to your PC and open a command prompt and navigate to where you have fastboot.exe
Type
adb remount
adb shell
ls -l /system/app
Look for Talk.apk
Copy the entire line's output. should be something like -rw-r-r-

there are Talk.apk and Talk.odex
both have permissions set to -rw r-- r-- root
just like all the other apps in the app directory.....
I am starting to think its a network issue on my wifi....
since gtalk uses port 5222 and I tried connecting using an XMPP app which also did not work.
https://developers.google.com/talk/open_communications
however using the app talkatone did work.... I will be activating internet on my sim in the next few days... hopefully that will fix it.
google talk never really worked that well.. it always shows offline but then in my contacts it shows the little green online status.. but in the app itself, its offline. It was like this with my GS2..
Thanks y'all... It was a network issue.
All's well with a sim now.

Hi,
i've rooted my Fire TV 1st gen and disabled the stock launcher, then it updated itself to the newest unrootable firmware. Without root I can't reactivate / unfreeze the launcher, but I read somewhere that it will automatically be reactivated by a factory reset. The problem is that I can't access settings menu with the disabled launcher, so is there any way to perform a factory reset through adb? Thanks in advance for your help!
Greetz, M33
I didn´t try this but for some Android devices and depending on the installed recovery this adb command may work:
Code:
adb shell recovery --wipe_data
how about the setting app?
hope it helps
I think I messed it up, it won't boot now so I'm returning it to amazon, but maybe someone else has the same problem...
Hi,
I have experienced a data loss recently so I would like to share it with other Xiaomi users and maybe someone could share their experience.
During de-bloat cleaning I made a mistake. I wanted to disable "Security" app, but regular "disable-user" command did not work. I was a bit desperate so I decided to uninstall it using this command:
pm uninstall --user 0 com.miui.securitycenter
After that the system could not boot and always dropped to Recovery
I tried to re-flash the same firmware version using Mi Assitant PC, but that did not help. The only solution was to Wipe all the data. After that my Xiaomi 9 SE was able to boot. But all the data was lost.
My question is: is there a way to somehow boot the device in this situation without wiping all the data? Bootloader locked
Thanks
Hey,
I haven't found a way arround this. The Security App is still somewhere in the system image, but I could not find a way how to get to that file and how to restore it. For me it was the Cloud App. The device still boots, but gives annoying crash messages if you use the screenshot functionality or try to click the preview icon in the camera app.
If someone else finds a way around, I would be happy to hear and learn
Kindly follow the steps carefully:
1. Install ADB App Control [ Download ]
2. Go to Load Preset
3. Import the attached file
4. Click disable
5. Go to stock recovery > wipe cache partition > reboot
6. Run galaxy app booster and optimize the device.
7. Enjoy the snappy and debloated experience
Note:
1.Uncheck any package from the list that you might need before clicking disable.
2. Not stable with latest one ui 4.1 update.
Thanks for this.
I dont know how much faster or anything is, but Im glad to have wiped fb off of my phone!
somewhere I went wrong
i have error 3020
"your phone is locked device services was uninstalled without authorization"
help please?
usb debugging is enabled but not "always"
the phone isnt seen by adb app control
Id be happy to just boot into recovery and do a factory reset. But I cant get the right button
combination. Is it power and up volume or power and down volume?
To boot into recovery press power + vol up while connecting the usb
theres a setting that I cant figure out.
something gets deleted or reset, and I cannot enter into the setting for the camera?
any idea on what it might be?

i think the probleme is device services apk (com.samsung.android.kgclient). Don't uninstall it.
yes. i solved the problem and i have tested on my phone. The solution is : Don't uninstall device services apk. (com.samsung.android.kgclient)
you can disable device service without any probleme for android 11
Hi All
Any one else having issues connecting Bluetooth devices? And any fixes or work arounds
Thanks
Is it all bt devices or just some?
Network reset. Samsung Wearables Manager must have all it's permissions enabled to work... a stupid simple fix for this nosey Parker of an app.
Thanks is all Bt devices and tried both them and it just fails to connect. I get no dialogue box up to enter a pin code in
try removing the pair and then re-pair it again, might also need to clear the bluetooth cache.

Did you use SmartSwitch to load anything?
It can screw up settings.
Try safe mode. 3rd party can alter hidden user settings rarely but it happens. Either correct the change (easier said than done)or factory reset.
You can try the less nuclear option of reset of settings before a factory reset. Don't use SmartSwitch if you reload.
Maybe a firmware or hardware issue. Return it if you can. This isn't normal.
When I have BT issues I clear the cache (settings > apps > Bluetooth) and then reboot my phone. This typically clears up any BT issue I'm having.

Can try a hard (vs soft) reboot too.

Yeah I went from a s21 using smart switch so I have to do a factory reset? Or how do I get in safe mode?

Try clearing the system cache, a hard reboot and in safe mode first. Not sure how it's done for that Samsung. Bare in mind if you don't ID the cause of the issue it can reoccur even after the reset.
Ok will see what can find thanks
I am also having problems with Bluetooth on my Fold 4 . Unable to clear bluetooth cache in system apps as Storage screeen has both cache and data buttons greyed out.
"Device Control" lists multiple entries of the same bluetooth device but cannot see hoe to delete them.
Would prefer not to do a network reset unless it's only option.
