[Q] clear data help! - Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I've had my galaxy NOTE for 5 days now and i wasn't able to download paid apps from the market! I read a lot of advice on how i can correct the situation but none of them worked( although i'm in a country that is supported ) the final advice was to go to applications and clear the data for each one ! i was stupid enough to actually do that for all apps ,but when i pressed the clear data for the settings my phone started acting weird! some text is missing : name of apps, permissions, even some text in the google search results ( even the google play apps don't show any text, rating or description)!!! some icons look half-cut ! how can i put things back to normal? this is really important...i am really depressed... i ruined my phone before i got a chance to enjoy it!!! if i reset to factory settings will this solve the problem? PLEASE HELP ANYONE!!! please give me a detailed answer! HAVE I DESTROYED MY PHONE FOR GOOD?!

I quite sure a factory reset will solve this

WhatsApp& Hangouts Notification problem...

Dear xda users,
I have quiet some time a problem getting notification message in whatsapp and hangouts (even in the previously version on Google talk).
When i clear all apps with Task Manager. Exit to home screen. meaning, Whatsapp is not running in the background, I get no pushed messages, no notifications. Nothing at all.
I then launch the app and get all my "missed" message ,then exit back to the home screen and now I see the messages and notifications.
The same thing happen when the screen is off,actually it seem it start there.
I have no limitation on the background apps,surf only with 3g and it is happen also with hangouts,it is started a few months back before google update her app,in the old Google talk also.
The most strange thing is when i launch a game,because it uses the internet when i exit from it and not clear my task manger it seems like whatsapp and hangout getting the message for day or two and there again nothing,maybe i imagine i really do not know
My phone model is i9305 with official Samsung Nordic Rom.
i used avast anti virus until couple days ago.
By the way whatsapp+ that i saw here recently could help me in any way?
I really appreciate your help. :good:
want to clear it one and for all to enjoy my phone.
Thanks in advance,
David
Hi David,
you kinda answered yourself, the problem is with the task manager. I suggest reading the following:
http://www.howtogeek.com/127388/htg-explains-why-you-shouldnt-use-a-task-killer-on-android/
Chris Hoffman can explain better than me
BTW it's also says directly on whatsapp that it will not work well with task managers.
Cheers
Dear eytan123,
Thank you for your replay,I want to clarify myself and tell you that i do not use any external task manger,but only the built in one in jellybean.
In addition even when i do not "clear" my ram it still no working,i also compare it to others galaxy 3-i9300&i9305 that use and clear the ram with the built in task manager and still not suffer from this Phenomenon.
I guess Samsung keeps this app because it lets inexperienced users(unlike you and myself, or for that matter anyone in XDA ) the feeling that they can upgrade their performance...anyhow - It's strongly suggested that you don't activate\use ANY task killer.
Why not trying the suggested method for a couple of days? I'm sure your results will be much better
Thanks again for trying to help,but i already try this couple of times before open this thread.
Unfortunately not a single method that i tried was useful to me.
like to hear if you have another idea
upp
bumping a thread more than once every 24 hours is against the rules. don't post until you read them
Just noticed you asked about the whatsapp+ - it's not supposed to make things any better, only customizations. And you said the problem persists at the new hangouts.
If you're certain that your internet connection(cellular of course) is working good, before I suggest wiping and re-flashing or trying another rom I suggestthat you use the following app(it increases battery usage in a VERY MINOR way):
https://play.google.com/store/apps/...wsMSwxLDEsImNvbS5hbmRxbGltYXgucHVzaGZpeGVyIl0.
Try clear data
Make sure sync is on

Hi,
Thanks eytan123 but this app that you gave me it is just for rooted phones,i do not want to root my phone in this moment,about the rom,it is the same problem that i experienced in my previous official rom.
Still glad to hear about this app for future notice
Thanks hello5629,if you mean to clear app data i already try this also
You wanna tell me that only my phone suffer this problem?
Just making sure - have you tried to uninstall and reinstall the apps ?
yep,several times..
Well I guess that leaves you with factory reset your phone.
But since your'e not rooted keep in mind you'll lose all your apps..
ya i know,i do not really want to do it,i think i will open a thread in general android forum,maybe there when it is not only i9305 community,maybe some will have the answer.
Thanks again for your effort

HTC One dots instead of name

Hi all,
Maybe one week before I found that I have dots instead of name of the menu.
Sometimes I can see the name sometime I can see only 3 dots.
The issue is observerd on camera and mail HTC sense 5.5 applications.
HTC One M7 4.4.2 stock, latest updates
Can you help me how to solve the problem?
Please find attached two screenshots - one with the issue seen and one when everything is ok.
Try to reboot the device and see if that persists

I already tried that, it's ok for a while but then again the same issue. I found one strange relation (maybe) when my mail accounts start to sync the new messages and the issue happens immediately. I'm not sure if there is connection.
I have the same issue also. Only just got the One yesterday, and updated straight to 4.4.2 OTA and have noticed this. It seems to do it on random apps. Sometimes in Messages, sometimes not.
Also in Messages if the name is long, it doesn't sometimes stretch the little dropdown arrow for the entire name.
Looks like there are a few niggles in the latest update.
Wow sometimes Android shows with the strangest problems. See if clearing cache and dalvik cache will clear it up.

Can I do it without root and customer recovery. I'm running full stock 4.4.2 without root. I want to avoid reset to factory settings.

Oh I thought you were rooted. But wiping cache and dalvik cache needs a custom recovery. It's even more surprising to see this happening on a stock device.
Experiencing the same
Hi all,
I am experiencing the same issue.
Non-rooted, stock 4.4.2 running sense 5.5, Verizon
I've tried changing my system font size & the text sizes, anywhere from Small to huge, I've rebooted multiple times. I am still experiencing this issue.
Ive attached four images to this showing what I'm experiencing, the gray boxes are information I've edited out, but the dots are still there.
It's happening in most system apps, Messaging, Mail, Gallery.
FYI this is the official answer from HTC support regarding the issue:
=================================================
In regards to your enquiry, please try the following steps:
- Please try to Soft Reset the phone (restart your device)
If this doesn't resolve your issue then unfortunately you need to perform Factory Data Reset of your phone. You can do that by:
Please press MENU on the Home screen, then tap Settings> back up and reset > Reset phone.
NOTE: Resetting your handset to factory or manufacturer's default setting will delete all the data stored on your phone memory, please back up your files first.
We hope that this has helped you with your issue.
if it will not help you , you might have hardware issue , so we recommend to you to contact our repair center through our point of collection
==================================================
If I make factory reset who will install/configure all my applications/news/mail accounts.
Android should have much better system for deleting cache and dalvik cache other than root.
I spoke with HTC Support, they told me to run through a few steps, started with a reboot to safe mode, clearing the sense cache, and a factory restore.
The factory restore resolved it for a few minutes, but the issue reappeared.
It seems to be related to the pinch-to-change text size in the messaging application.
EDIT: I'm reaching out to HTC Support again-
LastPass is the culprit
I've been through multiple factory resets and adding applications one by one.
The problem is caused by LastPass. The auto-fill into apps feature.
I've sent a support ticket into LP, I suggest you all do the same, but it does not appear when that is disabled. Appears when it is enabled, and goes away once I disable it.
Seems like it doesn't play well with Sense :/

You are the saver !!!! Thanks a lot for this valuable information.
As soon as I disabled Last Pass autofill options in "Accessibility" screen everything went back to normal.
Thank you once again and have a nice day!
One ticket with the issue opened in Last Pass support system from my side also!
Let's see what will happen
It's funny. I'd kind of had a hunch it was that. I turned it off on my phone as all apps had been installed, and hadn't seen it since. It must be something to do with the new overlay feature they have, which is really useful! Good spot though :laugh:

can anyone give it a look :D !! i need help with those things

Parandroid 4.5 beta !! ( i posted it at the thread but i had no answers )
please i have a serious problem !!!! while i'm talking my call will just drop in the middle of the call and i thought it was my friends fault's then it happened again with another friend :S !!!
also another bug [email protected]
i'm using Acdisplay and sometimes the screen get frozen and when i press the volume key it works and i can adjust it then when its gone i can use the screen but not much just small touche space and eventually i have to restart the whole phone to fix the problem
i love this rom and don't want to go back to stock (( help please )
which services from google services are safe to stop
google play services has 144 services and i believe most of them are just for spy reasons only ( or something i don't really need in the first place) draining out my battery which services are safe to disable and which are not )
thanks for help in advance

[Q] camera/gallery app problem

hi guys
all stock/ android 4.4.2
when I try take picture its all good, but when switch to video recording phone freeze.

when i go into ( i use only standard) gallery app it freeze as well, when back to live it show no thunbnail of pics and vid.
I did hard reset - no change , i feel like entire unit is less responsive/slower. can not pin point that but moving around menus seems laggy
anybody has any clue ? ive found guy with similar problem on some other forum but there was no answer to him. he changet roms or emui nothing helped
thank God for google transistator
other than that its look as all works, apps,games, basic phone functionality
Problem solved!
at first i tought its SD card b/c music was gone, some videos ect. and when i took sd card out phone worked almost ok. almost because it still had lag here and there in menus and lagging did not happen before.
I found solution by instaling B609 EMUI 3.0
all is ok now
i want to warn everybody about use CCleaner with caution!
it all started with "clean" intentions
i just wanted to make phone faster and i practically turned it into a useless brick
god bless google transistator
Why use ccleaner or clean master in your phone?They simply generate problems,and consuming memory.
We have a built in app that does the same thing .Phone manager.Try it.

- camera not working.
- printscreen not working.
all the problems started after updating my phone to latest MIUI update 13.0.3 global
any idea what's wrong here ??
Any error displayed?

for facebook app, no error, but no photo is saved, the camera app just crashes without saving.
it has been 2 weeks now, the support suggested a factory reset, and i wont do it its too much backup and work, i believe there might be an easy way.

Seems like permissions to save to to sd card somehow got revoked. From the sounds of it since multiple apps are involved, factory reset might be better. You can use an app like Swiftbackup(cannot save data if not rooted unless you use shizuku) which will save lot of time and effort.

you sure ? because even for local storage, still same problem.
No idea what changed, facebook can save images now ! but only facebook, apps like 9gag can't, comics and manga can since ever.
Any updates ?
I found the solution, posted on reddit, precisely :

Ok. The solution is to turn off dual app support, reboot, and then turn dual apps back on again and reenable the ones you want back.
Annoying, but it works.
Screenshots work again also.
Hope this works for you, like it did for me.
Settings>Apps>Dual Apps>Hexagon>Delete dual apps' accounts>wait 5 seconds>Delete>Reboot
