• 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.

• I just thought that I added 8 images to my library and it turns a license all. Very delicate! so bummed that I have there is one I want to use and 8 of my images! Can I please everything reset and start over? All new, so this summer

  I just thought that I added 8 images to my library and it turns a license all. Very delicate! so bummed that I have there is one I want to use and 8 of my images! Can I please everything reset and start over? All new, so this was a first time horrible user experience!

  Hello

  I'm afraid, it is not possible to reset anything, once an image has been authorized.  As a gesture of goodwill, I added 7 license credits to your account to replace those allowed by mistake.

  Thank you

  Hello

  Please contact Microsoft Community.

  Problem description I understand that, as he tried factory reset on Windows 10 downgrade to Windows 7, I was interrupted and now the computer will not start, its is no start state. Please correct me if I'm wrong.

  Will he react when you press the keys on the BIOS Setup? Like F2, F10, ESC or del key to start the configuration of the BIOS?

  If so, then let us try to repair your computer by creating a Windows 10 bootable (I.e. media USB or DVD) using media creation tool.  Use of some other PC connected to the Internet for the creation of bootable media. Once you are ready with bootable media, follow the below mentioned steps.

  1. Insert the Windows installation disc in the disc drive or connect a USB media, and then start the computer.
  2. When the message press any key to start from the CD or DVD is displayed, press a key.
     If your PC does not automatically detect the media
     1. When the computer reboots, read on screen for instructions that explain how to interrupt normal startup and access the basic input/output system (BIOS) configuration utility. Most PCs use the F2, F10, ESC or del key to start the configuration of the BIOS.
     2. Looking for a tab in the BIOS configuration utility that is labeled boot order, The Options of Bootor Boot. By following the instructions on the screen, use the arrow keys to go to the boot order, and then press ENTER.
     3. Locate the flash USB, DVD or CD player (this could be called removable device) in the startup list. By following the instructions on the screen, use the arrow keys to move the drive to the top so that it appears first in the startup list. Press ENTER. The startup command sequence is now changed to boot from the flash drive, CD, DVD, or USB.
     4. Press F10 to save your changes and exit the BIOS Setup utility. Select Yes in the confirmation window. The PC will restart. Leave the PC restart normally. The scan will take a few minutes and remove any malware that could infect your computer.
  3. Select a language, a time, a currency, a keyboard or another input method, and then click Next.
  4. Click repair your computer.
  5. Click the operating system you want to repair, and then click Next.
  6. On the page choose an options screen, select Troubleshooting. Select Advanced >Startup Repair

• How can I reset and start another game.

  Hello

  Please help someone, I spent several days on this and still can't make it work.

  The code below is ok, I play a bowling game using the keyboard and the timer with a reading of the text of the passage of time, the bowl moves to a set number of pixels on the screen.  while I would, mode full screen click Start/play button on the screen to start the game and the timer, all is in box 1.  I also would like the game to simply accept the 77 keycode and keyboard event (2 events to move the bowl) and wait for the boot/play button click.

  Thank you

  While he must wait to find out if someone is also a solution based on code that will slip into what you now have, is one of the easiest ways to make reset build your design in box 2, maintaining Framework 1 devoid of any objects/code controlled (graphics just to avoid a white Flash), and when you want to reset you use gotoAndPlay (1).  Who should return to the initial conditions all around.

• 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.

• I lost the code for the option menu 'limitations' of the iPhone 4, how can you do then? so I can come and factory reset, it is a 4 digit code, so I can be able toexample factory reset the phone, don't know if this is the right forum for my question but

  Sorry, but the restriction password cannot be reset, it is part of the backup and restore a backup that was taken after the restrictions were activated, restore this code again.

  You will have to start without the help of the data backup, configure the phone to factory settings and start over. Follow the steps mentioned in this article:

  Use iTunes to restore your device to factory settings - Support Apple iOS

  If you lose or forget your password restriction, you must erase your device and then put it up as a new device to remove the restriction password. Restore the device by using a backup does not delete the access code.

• What is the problem with my iphone? He says still no service but my sim card works with other phones, after a reboot it says searching until I have to remove and reinsert the sim ive done all what is the factory reset to open the phone to verify any damag

  IPhone 6 64 gb

  iOS 9.2.1

  The phone says no service but the SIM card works, everything in the phone works except the flash still lights up and flickers sometimes before becoming stable but who don't mind not 'that' much, ive tried factory reset and everything, ive also open the unit and looked for signs of damage, the phone knows there is a SIM card in the phone , but he never says the name of the carrier, also after the restart he said looking and does not stop until I have remove and reinsert the SIM card.

  You can restore the factory state after an iTunes backup

  If this does not resolve the problem then you may want to align on Apple or an approved repair shop

• Want 750-103D: secondary drive is wiped clean on factory reset

  I've screwed to the top of my installation of office and had to do a factory reset. All my applications were in the main drive and no apps such as photos, music, documents in my secondary hard drive. As a precaution, I unplugged the secondary drive before I did the factory reset. After the factory reset desktop started successfully. Then I stop and plugged back the secondary drive but to my horror on 2nd boot my secondary drive had been wiped and all my apps not disappeared. I don't understand.
  
  What have I done wrong?

  I don't think that something was wrong.

  The new operating system is not reading secondary drive completely as the file system may be different.

  Assign a drive to secondary drive. Press Windows + R, type deskmgmt.msc and press to enter. Here, you would see a drive or disk space that would be unassigned. Right click on the drive and assign a drive.

  or

  Insert the image secondary drive in an external hard disk enclosure and connect an external drive and you should find the content.

  If you have disconnected the secondary drive there is no way of that new OS will erase the content, unless you asked.

  Hello;
  
  Let me welcome you on the HP forums!
  
  I read your post about the need to do a factory reset and wanted to help.

  What will work restores your computer to its original factory state using HP recovery media. It is a set of DVD and a CD or a USB key, which will erase the hard drive (removing all data, applications and settings, reinstall the original OS, drivers and utilities for HP. In some cases, you will be able to order a USB instead of discs.  You must order at HP; they cannot be downloaded.
  
  You can look online for recovery from the paged media related: http://support.hp.com/us-en/drivers
  
  Once there, enter your product name or number. On your software page and download the drivers, select your operating system and version. Click on "Update".  If the HP recovery support is available for your computer, down near the bottom of the page, you will see an entry for the command Recovery Media-CD/DVD/USB. Click on the symbol '+' to expand this entty and click on order to press for more details.
  
  Or, if you prefer, you can do the same by contacting HP Customer Service:
  
  If you live in the United States or the Canada, details are on this page: http://www8.hp.com/us/en/contact-hp/phone-assist.html#section1
  
  If you live elsewhere, contact details are on this page: http://www8.hp.com/us/en/contact-hp/ww-contact-us.html
  
  NOTE: once you get through, stay on the line until you are finally able to talk to someone ' one - it can take a while!

  When you talk about customer support, tell them that your PC is only a few months and they may be willing to send you the recovery media for shipping only.
  
  Note that if HP no longer provides a recovery media for your model, a few other sites, you can check are: http://www.computersurgeons.com/ and http://www.restoredisks.com/
  
  Good luck
  
  I'm a volunteer and I do not work for, or represent, HP.
