Android constantly reseting user values & updating software constantly - Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi guys,
I am currently experiencing a frustrating issue with my android device and I am stumped at how to fix it.
The device in question is a Dynavin car stereo that runs the Android platform.
I have updated the ROMS and even roll backed to older versions but this issue persists. I am now using a totally modified ROM created by a user on here for my device.

"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",

"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
My issue is, every 5 or 6 boot ups of my device all my settings seem to revert to default. Well not "all" but I will explain in further detail.
When my issue arises, google maps/navigation/mail will not load, it will crash and go back to the home screen.
Google PLAY will revert to Google Market, when I log into market, it will update all google programs.
Once updated, maps/navigation/mail all work perfectly fine.
My installed programs are unaffected to the extent that they do not need updating, however, all their settings which I adjust, revert back to normal, all the dialogue boxes return, its like as if I'm running the program for the first time again.
Does anyone know what the issue could be and how to fix it? It doesnt happen all the time with every boot up but it does happen quite frequently.
When there is no issue, the system works fine and requires no updates etc.
I feel it may be something to do with the ROM? Should files be moved to the memory card to preserve certain settings? But if I do that, how will Android know where to find these files?
Any ideas, support would be greatly appreciated!

Just a suggestion, if you are flashing ROM I asume you have root access. Titanium backup and link2sd will allow you to freeze market updater (system apk) and this should prevent you from receiving market updates.

mm, dont think the device has root access.
It can be flashed by just inserting a updated ROM on a memory card which picks it up on boot up.
I may try and install something for root access and try what you have mentioned.

[Q] Uninstalling unwanted apps after rooting

I've seen countless threads extolling the virtues of rooting your Streak. I haven't read through every post in every one of those threads. One of the things I've seen touted is that you can remove the carrier installed bloatware to tidy up the phone. What I haven't seen is a description of how to perform these removals. Does the option to uninstall suddenly appear when you open "Manage Applications" where it wasn't there before? Do you have to delete folders and perform some arcane ritual? I'm sure it is outlined somewhere. If someone could supply a link, that would be terrific.
Thank you.
there are many ways, but this is easiest:
https://market.android.com/details?id=org.baole.rootuninstall&rdid=org.baole.rootuninstall
use this
this is the one i use. it works very well. do be careful what you remove though. i have removed everything DELL on mine and Swype as well. make sure you install a launcher and set it as the default launcher before you uninstall the dell one. best of luck and have fun with your crazy super fast dell streak. i love mine.......

I like to use an app that can freeze the unwanted app so I can test the result and reverse the process if I need or want to.
I use Titanium Backup, but there are other options.

I would recomend this one too Root uninstaller:

You can also see the apps I have removed with no issues at all.
I used Titanium Backup to remove all the Dell crapware that was installed, also Swype and StageUI.
I'm a bit concerned that if I have to do a full wipe, that there may be issues, but I made backups before I wiped them.
Can anyone put my mind at ease?

[Q] Atrix 2.3.4 and new Market Force Close when clicking download?

Anyone else have this issue? To install the new market I had to use my system app remover, and I wonder if that's what went wrong. I have the AT&T 2.3.4 rom and am (obviously) rooted, unlocked bootloader, yada yada yada...
When I click an app or game it will go through the screens until I hit "Install" and then pops up this:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",

"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
Any suggestions? Or does anyone have an APK of the original market I can install? I think it was listed as vending or android.vending or something like that.
(Note to self: back things up before removing them = )
Once I backup my market i will post link. backing up now.

Its the vending.apk should revert you back to working market
try if dont work let me know.
Just use the app manager to uninstall the update. That's what I did to get back to the old version.

Thanks, market looks like old one, but now I get force close more frequently, after clicking pretty much anything. Like as soon as I click "Games" at the top I have force close now. I must have removed something important when I uninstalled the old market... I don't use the market enough to really care that it's gone though, and any app that I find there I could just sideload I guess. If it bothers me enough I'll just re-flash. Thanks for the help guys.
flash 2.3.4 system.img via fastboot just the system should fix it
I had to do that once or twice
Thanks I'll try that right now, just backing up all my apps and stuff. I'll try just flashing system, and then won't restore the market app when I restore backups if it works. I'll post back results in case this happens to anyone else.
Update: Flashing just system worked like a charm, still have all my apps and all too! Thanks for the suggestion Xenocyde!

If it is bloatware, installing a clean rom might help, yes. But you also have the option, if you're rooted, of disabling/uninstalling the bloatware apps. Searching "System app remover" in the app store is a good start.
Thank your for your response
do u have any suggestions for rooting app ?
Depends on the device and the Android Version.
Now, can you uninstall any of those apps without root?
Do they just redownload themselves?
i can uninstall them but they comes every 15h again (around 5-6 apps always same) but always installs 2-3 of them
then i delete them and after 10-15 h other 3 installs
and again and again
Hmm.. If this happens even after factory resetting, then I'd say you could try to disable automatic updates... Or, if there's custom ROM's for your device, try one out! Otherwise, I don't know what to tell ya.
yes it happens after factory reset
there is no custom rom for this phone
but i got stock (official rom) which i dowloaded
but im afraid its same like one is on phone atm but im not sure
i never installed rom or custom rom so im leaving that for last option
hello
i managed root phone and i got this
is it safe to remove this apps
does anyone know can i delete this bloatware apps or not ?
is any of them miss labeld as bloatware ?

ANYONE KNOW HOW TO DO A SOFTWARE REPAIR ON THE NOKIA 1

Morning,so i am going to try yet again for some help here with regards my mom's Nokia 1 device running on Android 10 Go. Since she updated her phone to Android 10,she has had cmstant issues with the phone. Since updating it,her messages app will not switch to dark mode at all,i have tried uninstalling it and replacing it with other versions etc but it never has a dark mode option available in the app at all.
Then her Google Chrome would not update at all. I got that sorted after a lot of trial and error,resetting the phone and so on. Now the phone has issues with her wallpapers resetting to the default wallpaper the whole time at random. She also suddenly has an issue with her camera after the recent camera related update. She can take a photo,but is unable to view it from her camera app after taking the photo. She also is unable to delete the photo after taking it.
So,i am wanting to know if anyone has any idea of how to perform a software repair or maybe a way to re-install Android 10 on her phone other than just doing a factory reset which does'nt fix any of her issues anyway. Please,we just want to get the phone working properly,so if anyone knows how we can do that,it would be appreciated.
Thank you
Just like any MTK phone use spflashtool then flash it
U should check Wich model first

@Hucin44 thank you. Have you tried this with a Nokia 1 or do you know someone that has? I do not want to try this if nobody else has and were successful. Last thing i want is to brick my mom's phone.
U can follow this
Downgrade Nokia 1 TA-1066 from Android 10 Go to Android 8.1 Go
The Nokia 1 recently got the Android 10 update. The update got lot of bugs like SD card losing write permissions, launcher3 not having widgets and shortcuts on top of other bugs in Pie. This has compelled me to look for going back to Android 8.1...

It's work for more secure if afraid to brick the phone uncheck preloader in spflashtool
Thank you

Question Realme GT missing basic apps

Hello everybody
First time poster thanks for the help in advance. Please note I am a total novice when it comes to anything like rooting or unlocking boot but i can follow instruction if you leave them.
I bought my phone from Ali express global launch event. When I received the phone i noticed some basic functionality is missing for example : Gallery, File explorer, CAMERA APP. and so on.
It doesnt make sense, my camera works through whatsapp and such but no dedicated app.
I am starting to think the firmware was faulty. Waited for few updates hoping it will sort itself out, but no luck.
Now I am considering installing stock firmware but I have no idea where to start. I have downloaded few roms "different versions?" but i don't know how install them on my phone. They are on the root of the phone storage but i assume i must root my phone to get fast boot ? because i tried restarting with holding volume down, after language selection i can chose between wipe and reboot no update option.
Any help will be greatly appreciated.
If you use the App Drawer view, you may find the missing icons there.
In settings/app-management/app-list you will find all installed apps.

Only found files in app list but I can't open it. Other apps have options of : open, uninstall, and force stop but not this app. For the other apps like camera and gallery they are not there. Do you think a fresh install of stock ROM will help or no ?
If the apps are not displayed in your app list, the best thing you can do is do a factory reset.
Which firmware version do you have on the GT ?
The GT was in its original packaging and shrink-wrapped when you received it ?
Ya it was brand new. Bought from Realme official store.
I see your firmware is A 16 mine is A13 but when I check for update it says am on the latest version?!
Also my Google backup is greyed out so factory reset will set me back big time.
