  • Factory reset and wiping Cache

    Hi all

    Several times on the net, we heard that, the way we are going to pass to the lollipop while doing a major OS, upgrade, it is recommended to do Factory Reset and wiping Cache.

    That wiping cache is concerned, it of nothing, but formatting for the cache, they average in the swap partition linux is formatted. But what is the technical reason to do a Factory Reset? It's a real pain to reconfigure all the stuff after factory reset.

    Anyone can throw some light on this?

    Concerning

    Sébastien

    There is no official reason - but my reason is because of my experience. Years as a system administrator, put computers in Windows for Workgroups, Windows NT level would still be some issues. The same model machine with clean installs of the software even played very well. After some tests, I was convinced that upgrades on the spot can cause problems. I don't even do on-site on OS X upgrades - they have issues like Windows.

    I noticed the same behavior with improvements in phone (Android, Apple, WinMo) - some applications does not work, the battery life is poor, etc. An upgrade to the Atrix HD and I was missing the options menu for SmartActions - until I did a reset, certain features of this application has been completely absent - it was an integrated application of motorcycle, and nothing else has worked.

    If you want only some technical reasons for why this happens - there may be several:

    • can install applications with different parameters depending on the operating system - unless you uninstall and reinstall applications after the upgrade, none will have the settings that correspond to the BONE


    • The OS settings which are carried over after an upgrade, which may not be suitable


    • Operating system for the new operating system that is not set, because of legacy apps being present


    • Upgrading test - it is not possible to test with all the combinations of installed applications

    Since there is currently no upgrade E published, he does not worry about now. But when the time comes, do the upgrade and see how your phone works. If it works OK then go to reset. Personally, I do the reset and only re-install the apps that I use. It is a good time for me to dump a bunch of junk.

  • A1-840 it froze so often I did a factory reset and now - I can't do anything with it - google errors

    All I gert are incessant messages.

    Google - game has stopped services

    n ' the process com.google.process.gapps has stopped

    He asks me to sign with my ID google I go but it never connects, and I have to click on turn off these messages consistently to the same enter the text.

    If I go the Apps folder, the Tablet is freezed - there are only 8 apps - neither of which is the game of Google.

    What should do?

    the only thing I can suggest is try to reflash the OS:

    http://global-download.Acer.com/GDFiles/OS/OS/OS_Acer_Acer.AV0K1.A1-840.RV0XRC02.WW.GEN1_A44K_A.zip?...

    normally you must copy the zip on a microSD card, insert it on your Tablet and demarrer start to recovery, select this option to install from SD card using the zip file.

    Sometimes the zip file must be uncompressed and inside, you will find the correct .zip for flash.

    3. sign in with your Apple and the password.

    4. under 'Computer permissions' select ' All of authorize.

    5 allow each computer you have, you might need.

    You can do this twice a year.

    That doesn't look good... a couple hours but goes on five hours is something serious goes wrong. Maybe you should order the HP factory recovery disc and try again. I think that something has gone wrong here.

    Hello Jerry, SX300 series switches have a startup configuration and running configuration. For switch settings, you must save the configuration running at startup otherwise, all settings will be lost.

    After a change is made there is a flashing recording icon at the top right. You can click here and follow the windows. In addition, you can go to Admin-> Managemenet file-> copy the file and record there too.
