Just got a new Amaze and every time I reset the device the default wallpaper comes back. Doesn't matter which Live wallpaper I choose.
Any ideas?
First question...have you done all the updates?
Second a little more info about your device will help.
I say since its new format your microSD,
And do a factory reset, do all the updates, and see how that works.
What happens when you just set a regular pic as your walpaper?
Also what do you mean by reset?
Are you talking reboot or factory reset as I mentioned?
A factory reset will always set you up with the default wallpaper.

So I got my phone working with rsd light, problem its it reinstalled all my apps, I an unable to update anything. I'm no longer rooted obviously. I can't factory reset the phone from the privacy menu. And even in the android recovery it stays at the triangle. Apps in the market say insufficient memory when I have tons of all memory left. Resetting the phone unger the privacy manu doesn't go anywhere when I hit the button. Also keep getting geolocation problem on my beautiful widgets update.
At the triangle(recovery) press down volume up and down at the same time

Please use an SBF, I will edit this post with more info by 3pm Eastern Standard.
EDIT 1: If all else fails, go to your local Sprint Customer Advantage Repair Center.

EDIT 2: I not will add to this post because you have already used SBF, and know how to.
If still face problem after hard reset, charge battery and try flashing sbf again. Actually it shouldn't be happen like that. Try to erase data from moto-fastboot....

Keep using the old version until the new version takes effect, after a factory reset, it takes a while.
I say this from experience, use the old green version for a while, just browse around, and restart the phone. Use the green one, and close it out, soon you will have the new version of the Android Market, if not just find it online.
Hi guys,
I recently tried out that stock app locker app on my prime and while it functioned as it should. I didn't use any of the locked apps for a long time which made it easy for me to forget the password. After several attempts to remember it, all have failed. Before upgrading to ICS, i could easily go to the apps section under settings and kill the process for the application there by enabling me access to the locked apps but after the ICS update, this is no longer possible. I simply want to know if anyone is aware of any methods to reset the applications password. I have googled and done a lot of searching still to no avail.
Any help will be much appreciated.
The prime has been only out a few weeks surely that's not long enough to forget, anyway I believe the only way is with a factory reset. I'm sure there is such a warning when you first set up App Locker.

I know right? Was sleepy when i set it up. Probably not the best time to have done that. A factory reset will wipe the slate clean. If i do a back up and wipe then restore after the factory reset, that wud b useless right?
My EVO 4g LTE started acting funny last night.... Pull out notification menu is blank and I am now unable to install any apps from the playstore.
Is there any thing I can do to fix this? I don't want to factory reset my phone...
not rooted.... Stock
Just back up your pics and what not. If you have contacts sync with google you won't loose them. Factory reset is most likely easiest fix.
In my experience factory reset isn't as horrible as one may think provided you do a back up

I flashed from stock to bionix v4, followed all the steps with no issues. Everything worked great. I had to do the these two fix steps a few times recently. wifi fix http://androidforums.com/droid-supp...ifi-error-message-wifi-will-not-turn-all.html and large file download fix http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=30669800&postcount=1127. This is when I noticed my issue. However, i can still makes calls. It is when I hang up that I get the error but I can still get back into it, just after force closing. please help.
I'm trying to figure out options before wiping and reflashing.
You can try to go to manage apps and clear data from phone app. Then reboot.

I cant even see it in the list. wtf. The only thing I can think of that's close is "phone" version 1.0 but there's no data for me to press clear.
I also see dialer and dialer storage actually have data to clear.
When you go to manage apps, all, there isn't phone?

There is "phone" but there's no data to clear. size is = 0kb.
Guess its wiping time, try just cache, dalvik cache and fix permissions. If you still have issue a full wipe might be in order.

Do I need to back up anything before wiping those two cache?

No, only need to back up if you do a data wipe/reset.

Well, I did a full wipe and reflashed. Phone is working now but something I didn't notice before. I cannot get contacts pictures to sync with facebook and when I try, it says I need to log-on to social media and redirects me to allow me to choose between facebook, twitter, etc to sync. When I click on facebook, it force closes just like with the phone app. What's going on?
Did you use an app to backup apps and app data(titanium backup etc)?
Go to manage apps>all> Facebook and clear data. See if that fixes your issue.
I apologize for not being able to give more exact issues. I haven't used that ROM and its been a long time since I used froyo all together.
I approve this message.
Hi, I've had the M8 for 4 months now and can't help but notice how buttery smooth it is on reports from other people, but mine is just plagued with performance issues. I don't have any CPU intensive apps running in the background or anything and sometimes when I try to turn the screen on, it vibrates as if it turned on but nothing, this can go on for 30 secs or more until it finally turns on.
Another example is app switching. I can be on SMS app and switching to chrome can just freeze my phone for upwards of 15 seconds, pressing lock button doesn't work either when it's frozen like this, and if it does work, then the above happens.
This happens everyday, no matter what I'm doing. I have even tried setting High Performance in developer options, but the only change it does is use more battery.
Also, I noticed that opening the Camera app takes time as well, so it's impossible to capture those one of a kind moments because I have to wait 10+ seconds for the camera app to be useful.
I have 10+GB of free space.
Is the phone stock, not modded, rooted, bootloader unlocked, etc.?
Something is definitely not right. Have you tried to backup your personal data, and doing a factory reset?
Or see if the problem persists in safe mode? To boot in safe mode, reboot, and while the white boot screen is showing, hold down the vol down rocker until the phone shows the home or lock screen with SAFE MODE i the lower left corner. This will boot the phone with no 3rd party apps, so you can't try to reproduce the Chrome issue you mentioned. But you can at least check the screen-on issue. If the phone seems okay in safe mode, you may have a 3rd party app that is causing issues.
Either you have some sort of software or hardware issue, cause the issue you mentioned are certainly not normal for this phone.
+1 to above.
What launcher are you using?
The phone is completely stock. I haven't tried the factory reset or safe mode. What main items do I need to backup before a factory reset?

What "state" is your phone in:
Pure unrooted stock?
Rooted?
Custom recovery?
S-off or s-on?
Pure unrooted stock straight from the AT&T store.

Depends on what you want to keep, and where its stored. If its going to freak you out to loose it, then back it up.
Photos and videos you took are a must. Either move them to the SD (if not already) or backup on computer. And if on SD, I'd still back them up on your computer or to the cloud, anyway (just in case).
Similarly, any documents or other items that are not easily replaceable. The internal storage (virtual SD) should survive a factory reset. But if its important, I'd back it up on your computer anyway.
If you keep your contacts on Gmail (which I recommend) then that is already saved to the cloud (will auto sync back to the phone after you factory reset). If you have contacts, email, etc. that is not on Gmail, you might want to back those up. Its really up to you.
If you have a lot of app data and other stuff you want to keep, you can try Helium: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.koushikdutta.backup

I would definitely try a factory reset first, as that is probably the first thing they will do at the store if you take it there, anyway.
But if factory reset doesn't work, it may be a hardware issue and a warranty replacement if recommended. But since its 4 months old, OP can't take it back to the store. OP has to go through warranty exchange by mail, or to a Device Support Center (if one is nearby). You can only do exchanges in-store within the first 14 days.
Has this happend since day one? I agree, you either have an app that's acting crazy or an actual HW issue. I'd try the factory reset.
BTW - Where are the developer options on the United Stated AT&T variant? I have not found them.
I tried the factory reset and it's working fine for now. I'm going to be selectively installing back the apps as I need them so I don't end up with a rogue app again.
The only things I had changed were the runtime from Dalvik to ART. I also had only 1 app running in the background (CleanMaster) and was using Sense 6.0 launcher or Nova.
I'm going to keep it in Dalvik and not install that app and see how it goes.
Thanks for your responses.
PS: theandies, to unlock the developer options go to About -> Software Information -> More -> and click about 7 times on the build number.

Duh.......I should have tried that. Been stuck on a few old devices I forget tricks like that after doing them once on a new device. :silly:

I had the same issue. Once I switch back to DALVIK from ART my issues were corrected.
