Since yesterday the copied 20150515784325 numbers appeared in the clipboard and do not pay attention to it, just restart your phone and
Today it has become something really annoying, because there is always the number 20150515784325 in the clipboard, so what I do is delete it and it appears again...
The annoying thing is that when you copy something and when you try to copy it to the place I want just copy the number 20150515784325 and what I had previously copied is as in 2th place...
I've done this:
1 The cell phone brings the SwiftKey by default so go into settings and erase all data and nothing seem to changes.
2 Install the Google gboard keyboard and the same always comes the number 20150515784325
3 I use clipper+ so turn it off and also delete it and the number 20150515784325 still appears...
4 Scanee with avast and everything goes well...
5 may go to the hospital for a covid-19 test

Okay, so now I've played around with my XDA for quite some time, tried a lot of software and collected quite some data.
All this playing and trying led to lots of scrap files and remainders of different soft on my device, and I feel it gets a bit clogged and unstable now (after a year or so). As I have lost the orientation on what files belong to what software I feel it's time for a hard reset and clean reinstall of the software I found useful.
I was careful and most of my data is on SD anyway.
I also saved the my connection and contacts to flash memory.
I got all my third party software on a CD I can use to reinstall from my PC.
Then I ran the SD backup app that comes with the XDA.
It claims it stores all files of the file system on the SD card, and on request restores them all to thier original position, which in fact is not what I want: That'd only bring me back to a point I was at before. I only want to restore the files I really need.
I want to clear the whole device, but do not want to loose my contacts, my inbox and my connection settings. The manual (I only got the german translated manual, which is a poor job in some places) does not exactly say what data will be erased on a hard reset, and which will be unaffected, so I'm a bit scared to do the step right now.
Are there any specific files I could/should keep a copy of before hard resetting the device?
Thanks for your assistance,
Martin
If you have selected "pemanent save", for your contacts etc, they will not be lost by a hard reset, you can also backup connection settings to flash. I think you will need to backup your emails/messages using sync or another method.
guess what happened.
I selected permanent save, but after hard resetting there was nothing restored. That's quite bad because syncing was one of the features that became unstable the last days (always failed after half done) so I could not save my contacts this way. They were about 300. ;-(
Just now I try what comes back fro SD backup.
Martin
make sure you have the latest activesync 3.71
... at least now active sync is working again, so I got at least most of my contacts back onto the device, only the recently added/changed were lost.
The permanent save option has a bad HMI-bug: You are allowed go to the PIM tag, select what you want to do, then go to the connection tag and start the whole thing by hitting the save button, but then your contacts will not be stored, even if you believe they will because a pop up makes you think everything's allright: Instead you'll have to quit permanent save by tapping OK after you checked the boxes on the PIM tag, then open permanent save again and go to the connection tag to save the settings.
I should have known: It's Microsoft, and they love such HMI oddities...
Why can't we have MacOS on the XDA ... [sigh...] :roll:
Martin
Have you clicked on permanent save again after doing the hard reset, I had to do that as my contacts didnt come back until I did.
No, I didn't dare to: I thought maybe the second time the empty contacts or something else would get written to flash memory overwriting what ever might still be there ...
Martin
i think u have to click permanant save/ RESTORE after the hard reset!
becarful not to save after hard reset, that will save blank entries ontop of the old entries!
Hi, sorry for budging in.
Whenever I want to do a hard reset, I always save it in SD card. After
that I removed my Sd card before I do the hard reset. Once its is done,
I just have to set the GMT time and restore from SD card and thats all
I have to do. Everything including contacts, connections are in order.
By the way I do the hard reset once month so that I can have a stable
qtek.

Hmmm. yes, of cause I tapped permanent save/Restore after the hard reset. (With no result) What is going to happen if I do it time and again?
I'm afraid the german translation of the text in the screen is misleading. In "Permanent Save" there is one "PIM" page that has two checkboxes (one for Contacts, one for Calendar) and the text says "check the boxes and 1. contacts will be stored to flash and 2. calendar will be stored to flash". Nothing else.
Then there is a "Connections" tag that brings up a page that has two buttons (Save to flash and restore from flash) and a text that says "tap save to save connections and restore to restore connections" in short.
So I understood page 1 is for contacts and calendar data to be saved when boxes are checked and I tap OK, while page 2 is for the connection settings to be saved. Is that true?
Or is it true that I'll have to check the boxes on page one, then go to the second page and choose whether I want to save or restore them? (But why is the second page titled "Connections" then?)
This does neither come clear from the text on screen nor from the manual which basically tells me the same with the same words. The translation is awful. (Hope my english is better than MS's german ... )

How often do you guys in general perform a hard reset*?
I did my first one after a year of permanent uninterrupted use, but reading this forum I get suspicion that others do it on a regular base?
So what's this forum's users experience and recommendation?
Martin
* Except from now beeing able to delete a formerly undeleteable file, I do not see any effects on stability the hard reset had.
Hi,
in the last times I've a problem on my HTC LEgend (non-rooted): i start to install apps and move those on external storage with A2SD.
All works normally, but if shutdwon the phone and restart, all the apps installed on SD are loose!!
All the links on the screen and in the menus are loose, and if I go in application manager, under applications, those installed on SD are listed but if I click on info, from this screen is impossible to remove the app.
Another strange think : from the memory manager, in settings, it's impossible to unmount external SD. They take a lot of time and I must terminate the process.
Last strange think : if I open the SD on PC there's all the contents.
Any suggestions?
P.S. : I've done an hard reset of the phone, and reinstalled all the apps that usually use (30-35 apps), but in this operation I don't formatted the SD.
Fast Boot option may be the culprit
In case anyone checks this old thread...
CUT TO THE SOLUTION BELOW -- SEARCH FOR ////
Some (not all) of my apps moved to SD (all by Titanium Backup Pro) have begun to disappear and (sometimes) reappear without warning after I began to add and delete large Virtual Machines created in QEMU from my 16GB SanDisc class 10 microSD card on my HTC Droid Incredible running rooted stock Verizon Android Froyo 2.2.3. I know this thread is far from my phone's "home base", but from what I can tell this problem with disappearing apps located on an sdcard is NOT determined by hardware or even Android version.
I also happen to use LauncherPro by Federico Carnales instead of the built-in HTC Sense launcher. I noted elsewhere on XDA that a user had suggested that because at least some (maybe all) launchers start before the SD Card that this may be a problem, especially if changes are made to the sdcard that the launcher did not perform, or was not active during their performance by other apps such as Titanium Backup. That fits my situation, because I unmounted the SD, physically removed it to a PC, and added/deleted large VM files to save (lots) of time. No problems of this sort before I did this, so there must be some connection.
I noted that other users have tried reformatting SD, substituting different brands of SD, using newer/older SD etc. None of these reliably helped. So I skipped these options.
//// The (simple!) solution I tried that SEEMS to work (only time will tell!) is buried in the main Android Settings (accessed from the Menu button while in Home screen). Under "Applications" there is a setting "Fast Boot" that I checked long ago and forgot about (it seemed like a good thing to do at the time). The text warns "Turn off to use some Market apps" (that shows the age of my 2-yr old used phone and Android OS -- ohmygosh!-- because it refers to Market rather than Google Play Store!) Anyway, I unchecked the option and rebooted the phone.
Yes, it took a bit longer to boot (maybe a whole minute!), but after waiting about another minute ALL my home screen apps had normal icons and loaded properly. Titanium Backup Pro batch scenarios confirmed there were no apps in a forced uninstalled state (i.e. I had not done the deed, the system somehow had done it or at least rendered the apps "invisible" to Titanium, which decided they needed reinstallation).
The only odd behaviour was that auto brightness was turned off after I unchecked Fast Boot and rebooted. Going into Android Settings > Display and rechecking "auto brightness" took care of that. No other oddities or strange behaviours thus far (but it has only been about an hour).
I will report back here on this thread only (Samsung Fascinate > Fascinate Q&A > What just happend? apps on sdcard) if anything else requires reporting. Silence implies success!

ics 4.0.4. Stock...
So I am kinda sick of this deal where I reboot the phone for whichever reason and all the ringtones and notifications go back to default. I have some of these in my sd card at the media/audio then a notification ringtone and alarm folder. After some researching they seems the problem is having those in the external card and the card might be mounting too late. So the fix is to move them to the /system/media/audio folder in their appropriate folder. I did taht and after the reboot the files moved to the /system/media/audio folder and were rename with the prefix that described them. for example, if I had a rigtone named "dust in the wind.mp3" now it is named. "ringtone_dust in the wind.mp3". This phone is rooted and I used ES file explorer to move them...
So the question is:
Is that the correct folder?
Why the moved out of their folders and why the rename?
What do I need to do next?

Seems that in ES File Explorer the "Move To" and the "CUT" are not the same thing... I deleted all the files I moved and this time used the Cut instead of Move to and used Copy instead of Copy to (for those ringtones that were part of an music album) and it all stored correctly and stayed in place after multiple reboots. However... The phone and system went back to defaults one more time...
Am I the only one having this problem?
Quick update. During the research I have done they mention profile apps. my profile management app was changing my ringtones back to default. I made a few changes and will come back if it is not the fix but I'm confident it is. Sorry about the monologue but maybe this migth help someone. In short for the specific contact ringtones the problem was solved when I moved the files to the /system/media/audio folder (root required) and the profile app was changing the phone and system main ringtones. If you don't have root it seems that for some users just moving the ringtones from the external card to the phone folders has been enough.
Those files are so small. Why bother moving them to the sd card? You really shouldn't move system stuff to gain a few kb's of space you can't use anyway. Whatever space you empty doesn't become available to you anyway.
I didn't move any system files to the sd card. Those ringtones were there since my blackberry times.
Ringtone/Notification resetting all the time
I have been having this issue for a long time. I have a rooted i717 and factory ICS upgrade. I don't tweak out my phone with roms and things like that. Only customization I do outside the phone customizing is using Tasker for a handful of things.
I thought my ringtone/notifications were resetting after I rebooted...and after testing it wasn't the case. I thought that after I charged my phone the items would reset...not the case after a few tests.
I also found all my sounds would have multiple instances when I try to choose a ringtone or notification. Always the first instance would not play a sound and then the second instance would play the sound.
Even my photos and vids would have multiple instances.
What I found to be the case...These ringtones/notifications reset whenever I let my battery run totally dead so the phone shuts itself off. I plug it in to recharge and find the reset happens. To try a fix I have been plugging my phone in to recharge before the battery hits 0% and the resets have not happened since. The duplication of sounds and images haven't happened since either.
Just my observation...give that a try if you are still having problems.
What I'm bugged about is why isn't there a simple config file that holds all this info and won't forget if the battery goes to 0%?!
I have 2 batteries, I drain one all the way until swapping usually, I have badger had any sound reset itself.
Not sure if you guys read all the replies but the issue was solved. It was a profile aftermarket app changing the tones back.
Thanks!
Greetings!
I recently received a replacement refurbished Nexus 4 from my carrier. All went well until I discovered some rather disturbing images that I did not care to see. Now these images were not listed in the gallery app or folder structure by any means. I discovered them by trying to change my wallpaper by Long pressing the home screen and selecting "Pick Image" and it would bring up this browser window. Said images showed up under "Recent" section. So I figured, ehhh the phone must have not been factory wiped the way it should have. Did a factory wipe through settings. They still showed up under this "Recent" section after the reset. Upon further investigation, they seemed to somehow link to Google Drive. While I was sure I did not have these images in my drive, I was concerned. Anyhow I selected one of these images and checked its info, it has modify dates of earlier this year, under permissions and activity it showed another individuals name / email address. Weird Some of these file seemed to have a naming scheme, so I did a search in the Google Drive App and found tons of junk. All which have the same owners name under it.
So LOLLIPOP for nexus 4 released today and I went ahead and flashed it hoping it would clear this junk/cache out? Nope.
I decided to open up the wallpaper browser thing before even mapping MY DRIVE and sure enough this garbage is still showing up.
I even went as far as removing ALL FILES from my Google drive on the desktop to ensure this junk was not on my drive. Still shows up.
I suspect that there is some kind of cache stored on the internal storage that is not touched when flashing a new Image.
Anyone have some suggestions on how to clean this thing out?
My phone screen recently got a mystery crack (Within the screen itself) I can barely see anything, just a little bit of the bottom. I want to backup my phone, the most I can get to is the home screen , putting a password is a struggle but I manage but from their it is near impossible to get to anything else, also I want to open my whatsapp to use the web interface just to reply to some messages before I get a new phone but Applock is installed on my phone and prevents me from getting to there, is there anyway I can delete the app from internal storage ( From PC)? Is there a folder where apps are kept on the phone where I can delete it?.
