I recently did a factory reset after I noticed that the battery on my z1c was draining rather fast. Am on .242 version.
So I did a titanium backup, renamed the game folders in /Android/obb (I was afraid they would get deleted) then did the reset.
Shock on me they still got deleted after the factory reset. None of the other files on my internal/external sdcard were deleted only the obb folders. I had like 6 huge obb files, it's going to be a pain downloading them again.
Anyone else experienced this after a factory reset? Could this be a bug?

So, my GVoice app stopped working about a week ago. It would just crash on load. I went to clear the cache for it, and it was at 1.17GB. It wouldn't clear, I couldn't delete it with temproot. I renamed the folder, and that fixed it. The data is still there though.
The next day I went into my app management, and my browser, facebook, and a couple other apps have around 500-800MB. Again, I hit clear data/clear cache, it doesn't give me an error, but it also doesn't clear it.
Any idea whats going on? This happening to anyone else? I have run the cache cleaner from recovery as well. I just updated tot he new OTA, problem is still there. Everything seems to run fine though.
Sounds like something you did in one of your applications or in the settings is "Protecting" the cache. My best suggestion when all else fails is backup using titanium backup and then do a restore to factory settings and data in both bootloader and in recovery. Backup the sd card and wipe it as well, then just put personal data back to your sd card and restore with titanium, and all problems should be resolved
Back story: Every time I turn on / reboot the phone, the media process would crash. It didn't look like it affected anything but annoying non the less. In an attempt to fix it (which I did, so far) I cleared the data from "Media Storage." This deleted all my pictures, which is fine - they're all automatically backed up with Dropbox.
Now, all of the factory sounds are gone.
Is there a way to restore them or copy they back into the correct folder on the phone? I'd like to avoid wiping the phone, if possible. If I have to do a factory reset, it's not the end of the world, but just a PITA.
Thanks in advance!
I just bought used note 3 it rooted, running on kitkat not sure which version
so he already did factory reset, but when i used root explorer i found many downloaded files and picture on the internal storage, isn't it supposed to be deleted when doing factory reset? to confirm this i do couple factory reset it the result is the same. even some folder for some app that i didnt own is there. wonder how i can really reset it to become like new phone?

There are two kinds of factory resets, one is done in recovery mode
and is simply called "factory reset". This type of reset does not delete
all the personal data on your internal sdcard.
If you want to a full factory reset you need to go into the settings of
the phone and then navigate to "backup and reset".
There you will see an option to "Factory Data Reset", if you select that
option it will fully wipe your phone's internal sdcard including all personal
information, data, videos, downloaded apps and pictures (everything)
Good luck!
Its works. thank you so much
Hi all,
A week ago I relocated quite a few applications from my rooted G3 to the SD-Card. Shortely after that my system got really messy. Sometimes when the phone starts up all relocated icons are all over the place and not in folders anymore. When I put them back in folders its fine until the next reboot. When I de- and reinstall those apps they getting duplicated. Its a total mess. Does someone have an idea to solve this?
Did you try factory reset or wipe cache and dalvik cache? I recommend do factory reset.

No offense but this feels a little bit like: ...did you try to re-install Windows?
Hi I think I may have triggered accidentally by long pressing the Power & Volume buttons, a Recovery and Wipe of Apps and Personal Files.
On starting the OP5T, it is like a Factory Reset with all accounts, apps, files deleted.
Is it possible to recover the files from the Memory? I have already tried Dr Fone but this only sees the files I can see using Windows Explorer. I need to go deeper in the hope that the files are still in the memory of the device.
There are no Backups to recover.
Urgently need help because I cannot use the phone, hoping I can recover files before reinstalling all the apps and potentially over-writing the memory of the files I want to recover.
Thanks in advance!!
Guess no reply means no :crying:
