I'm trading my Vibrant soon so I need to wipe ALL data. The problem is my pc just stopped powering on, so I don't have access to ODIN. Is there another way to wipe? I'm not going to hand my phone over to a random dude without being sure all my data is cleared off.
Will a factory restore do it? I'm on Bionix V. Thanks.
SEEK NO more
*#*#7780#*#* put this in yer dialer
than just go in to settinds -sd card - and format both of sd cards
if u need more reset codes let me know :LPp
Nice, thanks. So after I format both cards it will leave the phone with Bionix V, and nothing else. What about apps and stuff? Not that it matters, just curious.
When I put those numbers in the dialer, it says all my account and system data will be erased, but not SD card files such as music or photos. Any idea how to get rid of the rest?

Yep. Same here. usually it's involves the apps I've moved to SD. Move them to Phone, reboot. The apps2SD is kinda silly I know, but I like as much free phone memory as possible. SO, if it ISN'T on your home screen, move to SD

So, correct me if I'm wrong. Basically in order to have the app icons on my screen with their assigned icon pic, I can't have the apps on my SD card? I have to put them back on the phone memory? Is there any way around this if I'm correct? Thanks!
Its a problem with htc sense in which it needs to be reloaded. Just change your scene then change it back and your icon pics will return regardless of where they are stored.

Worked ike a charm!!! Thank you!!
This problem occurred with the 2.3 upgrade on the evo also. It is not specific to the 3D. I don't know why gingerbread messed this up. Never had a problem on Froyo, but as soon as I upgraded to 2.3 GB on my Evo I would lose icons after a reboot too. Froyo seems to handle the SD card app moving better than GB.
Download fast boot from the market much easier

Check your SMTP server settings.
That was the first thing I did. Tried them every way possible. May go back to different rom.
Are you on wifi trying to send?
I only ask because I had the same issue, until I realized my gmail smtp settings wouldn't work while I was using my home wifi network.
I know I know, silly mistake. But hey, they happen

What rom you're using has no bearing on it. Your settings are incorrect.
I need a way to pull all data from my phone. the screen turns on but is completely unresponsive in the middle of the screen so I can't type half the letters. Anyway to pull data from recovery?
Have you tried creating a backup from cwm?
Its not rooted, completely stock
Guessing you tried auto rotate? When mine went bad, I turned it on, and rotated every direction as needed. Worked for me. Kind of a pain, but allowed me to get all of my info......
Ya I tried, doesn't rotate
That's terrible. Sorry to hear.
The only other way would be a lapdock. I did that as well.

on my mums atrix the touch screen was unreponsive like mentioned but this went away after a while.... it could be a software issue
Do a restore from proper .SBF with rsdlite, this will reset back to factory ROM. If your problem was software, this will fix.
Consider unlock and use CMW...

Hey guys,
I forgot my pin. I'm sure i'm entering the right code but still not working. I tried these options:
1.entering the supposedly wrong pin many times, and hoping it would ask me to sign in with my gmail/google credentials. But it never did.
2.Lock screen byppass pro says: not compatible with device from Google play store.
Are there any options left, have important files on the phone.
Thanks
NAndroid backup
Cwm wipe data
Either try restore data only or manually search nandroid backup for your important files
Good practice is to keep important files on an sd card rather than internal

So you want/need these files, you can't get to the recovery screen but you don't want to take the other steps to get your data..

It's not that bad, just do some reading beforehand. There's even a tool that will do it for you. The Q/A forum is also very inviting I may add
Used samsung dive and I'm not up and running.
Why don't you just connect your phone to the computer with usb and transfer the files on to your pc? Or will it not connect with pin lock on?

It's smarter than that. If you connect in USB with the screen locked securely, it doesn't activate until you unlock it at least once.
OP, is it definitely the phone PIN as opposed to the SIM PIN? Cause there's no reason it shouldn't prompt you to override the phone pin with your Google account info

call your phone from another one and answer it. Once you answer hit the menu button and go to settings and quickly add another email account...Yahoo, hotmail, whatever. Can't hang up until done and have to be connected to Wi-Fi. Once it's stored in accounts you can hang up. go to lockscreen and enter that account as user and/or password. Any account you have stored to phone password will work.
Ok. Here's what I found.
In other words I unlocked it using Samsung Dive.
For some reason it locked and didnt accept my pin.
1.if possible dont use pin because for some reason it simply wont give you the option of forgotten and unlock with your google account.
2.If locked with pin you cant access files via pc.
3.so activate samsung asap and stay away from pin. Maybe this is a bug?

Does anyone else occasionally experience an app mysteriously vanishing after restarting your phone? It's not as frequent anymore but it will happen to me with certain apps.
I'm wondering if this is because somehow they aren't compatible with my 64GB microSD- IF that's the default save location or if anyone else is experiencing this.
Thanks!

First of all, apps can't be saved on the microSD card on this phone. Check my FAQs on that.
Secondly, I've heard of disabled apps re-installing themselves on our phone on reboot, but not the other way around. Can you tell us which apps are doing that?
Airdroid, Fatbooth, FartDroid, etc... you know.... important apps... lol. This is my second phone to do it. The XDA app used to do it too. Some others as well. Their icons still show in folders but when you click it says the app is not installed.
Sent from my ADR6410LVW using xda app-developers app
I've experienced the same problem. They will randomly come back to life, but it seems if apps are stored on what the phone thinks is the SD card rather than the internal storage, it has a greater tenancy to vanish.
I've had this happen a few times. I have not noticed whether they are apps I have moved to the phone storage area or not.
When I move them, they seem to be ok. That is until an update for that app, if I restart before moving it back it'll delete.

Last night I moved my apps from internal to phone storage to make more space. After a while, my phone died. When I turned it back on, guess what? 90% of the apps vanished from my phone. Here I am redownloading everything... is this normal or does my phone have problems?

Might be something with your handset I have 1.6GB on phone storage and haven't had any apps self delete. I have run out of space on the internal storage, 1GB there isn't much. My plan is to s-off over Christmas when work shuts down and see if any progress has been made being able to move apps to the external SD. There was some talk about it a while ago.
Thanks for the response! Perhaps I have an issue with my phone. If I move apps to phone storage they will be completely deleted upon reset.
When I click apps on phone storage it shows the apps that are really in internal storage but when you click the apps they say "move to phone storage". Very strange.
I'll do a factory reset and see if it helps the issue.
How many apps do you have on phone storage?
