Hi everybody! I own an SG N7000 running the stock GB2.3.6. (not rooted) and I am new in this area of Android phones.
Kindly ask you to help please with answers to a few questions I have:
1. How can I change the location where the screen captures are saved from the phone memory to to the SD card?
2. How is it possible to deactivate in the Startup some of the installed applications so that they are completely blocked and are not consuming resources and battery? If possible, would that last over a phone restart?
3. I have performed (several times) a Factory Data reset including format usb storage from Settings > Privacy and I though the phone will be returned to the "new" estate. To my surprise I was able to see the names of the previous installed application by going to Android Assistant > Tools > Batch Installer. Why was the Factory Data reset not wiping out everything in phone's memory, what did I do wrong? What do I need to perform to wipe out all my private data (supposing I will sell my phone sometimes in the future)?
Many thansks for your answers!
My problem is my Data gets Auto shut in background & i dont get WhatsApp messages
how do i keep it on all the time
Please
You are not able to change the screen capture save location.As yours is official ROM,u cannot stop any of the startup apps.
Use wipe function to fully delete the phone or some ppl called it the hard reset function.
Yours Sincerely

Would rooting on GB 2.3.6. solve both questions or is it necessary to upgrade to stock ICS or even to flash a custom ROM?
If a custom ROM is required, which one would you recommend from the stability, battery and speed points of view, including abilility to wipe data without any trouble?

Did I get it right that running <wipe function> from the booting menu is different than performing Factory Data reset from Settings > Privacy?
Hi all,
Have trawled the forums & net but, rather surprisingly, can't seem to find anything on this.
Just would like to know if there is a difference between the two different hard/factory resets (through the settings backup menu and using hardware buttons on startup).
I noticed on my old HTC1X that the former method sometimes resulted in some settings not being reset but not sure if that was a glitch or faulty restore.
Thanks,

Do you mean factory reset in the bootloader vs factory reset in Settings ?
if yes then Yes they both do the same thing, they delete your /data folder and leave the sdcard alone

Yes via the bootloader and in settings.
Thanks for the confirmation, have always been curious if the bootloader option was more of a 'thorough' wipe so to speak.

if you really want a complete wipe just unlock the bootloader .. that does a complete wipe of everything on the phone
Hi Guys,
I think I have no lucky these days...
I was testing a new ROM and when a returned the backup with TWRP android asked me a patteren for unlock.
The patter I usauly use dont work.
I found a help that say to erase some files in /data/system but it doenst work...
I had a idea to block the cell with my google account and set a new PIN for unnlock... It doenst work
Now I have the cell blocked by google and its impossible to access the internal memory with TWRP...
I need help... I dont know what to do...
Please !!!!
Sounds like your only way back is to format/delete all your data and start from scratch. You can use fastboot to do this.
I think this is the way... but I never did this before...
Do you know a step by step to do this !?
If I understand rightly you have a Google locked phone. I have not tried this on the OP3T but if you are able to reach the boot up screen where Google asks you for the password/pattern lock, you can try inserting an OTG drive of any capacity into your device. The phone will ask for changing storage. After clicking 'OK' you will be taken to the storage section. Go to 'Apps' and from there to 'Setting'. If you are able to reach this far, do a complete reset from that 'Settings' section and you would be able to recover your phone. I repeat, I have not tried this on the OP3T but have successfully tried this on some other phones. Best of luck and hope you get back your toy.
Let me also add that you won't be able to recover a Google blocked phone by factory resetting from recovery. The only way to do this is to reset it from the settings section of the OS itself after you have booted up.

Hi. How can a fix my gps without rooting the phone?
I bought my device 1 month ago, upgraded from an E4, with Snapdragon 425 and GPS worked very well on that. I've made my research and found solutions like this:
fix-my-gps.blogspot.rs/2013/11/gps-problem-doesnt-that-sound-awful_30.html
But the problem is Location Based Service where I could reach the EPO greyed out for me. I did read the comments and there they tell which .apk need for that menu to unlock, but that would need root acess also.
I've tried few apps which could refresh the EPO for MTK devices but everyone of them would need rooted device.
I don't want to loose gurantee, but I would like to use my GPS for running, so I would need a good signal.
And even if I would try to root my device all the method is for other type of phones like 1770 or 1772 and 1773 nothing for this XT1771. The users only got errors when they tried to root their phones, I don't want to brick my phone cause I don't have lot of experience and if I can't fix it that's sucks
I hope I can have some advice from you guys and we could find a way to fix this GPS.
I've tried GPS Status and other program to clear AGPS data, but that isn't helped a lot, maybe it's find the satellite little bit faster, but loose the signal easily.

Well you should try booting your phone into bootloader mode then recovery, after that clear cache partition then factory reset the phone. And also make sure you're using high accuracy mode when using GPS.

I'm not sure how to achive that. Bootloader is the recovery mode? How to clear cache partition? The phone is pretty new not sure factory reset would needed.

To get into bootloader you first need to Power Off the device. Once the device is off, you hold down the Power Button + VolumeDown Button.
You can find the instructions here to clear cache partition: https://motorola-global-en-uk.custhelp.com/app/answers/detail/a_id/120145/p/10217
Hello everyone , i have the "pleasure" to see a problem what never seen and nobody posted on any site. My huawei mate 20 lite cannot be factory reseted , The factory reset buton inactive in settings and recovery mode too. I have tried to flash with many update.app from sdcard/dload/updateapp but always error. Please somebody help me. Thank you
If you are part of a domain that can be the reason. But since you tinkered with your phone I guess that's not the case. You cannot use huawei pc software to reset or recover your phone. But on your phone there is scroll restriction. On the reset screen it gives a summery of what will happen if you continue and you have to scroll down to very bottom in order for the button to become active. Certain certificates installed on a device can restrict some features but I have never seen any that stops you from resetting your device. Sorry if this isn't helpful.
