anyone try factory reset or hard reset of SGW?
can I know the difference? ohmy.gif

what I heard is factory reset wipe all data and the phone setting same as new as we bought. hmm.gif

how about hard reset? some forums wrote that hard reset will wipe data and reinstall the OS ? do it require internet to redownload the OS to install or what? rclxub.gif

I did a factory reset last week on my phone to fix bluetooth problem. Yes, all your contacts, sms, emails and android settings are wiped out. You also have to re-install all the apps after reset.


Added on December 14, 2011, 11:56 am

No need to re-download the OS. I believe there is an image copy of the OS in the phone memory. The reset used that to reinstall the OS. No change to firmware. Mine still KJ5 version after the reset.

Edited: Disclaimer. Above is based on my factory reset experience. I can't confirm for hard reset.
*
thanks man. Think later finish work, go back home try the factory reset, if fail only try the hard reset, just worry that need to connect internet to redownload OS or what.

btw, the factory reset you try, it fix your bluetooth problem?
mine is the media scanning problem, wonder factory reset will solve it or not as it might be system related?
I mean factory reset will reset the system file to factory default too?

thanks in advance.

when reboot phone, media scanning will start right? then within 1-2minutes it finish scan on phone and sd card.
but mine got problem as the scanning never end, for 30min and more.
and gallery,music and video can't play as media scanning running.
then around 15-30 minutes after reboot and the media scanning running,
phone memory automatic reduce from 150mb to somewhere low memory, and low memory notification pop out.

2 days ago I disconnect usb, and phone hang, so I hard restart it.
might cause problem to the media scanner. >,<

1st, thanks for everyone's reply. GanDong lo ~ cry.gif

QUOTE(cowithgun @ Dec 14 2011, 12:50 PM)
@CAC@MBO: so sorry to hear about your problem. if using other sd card (try use an empty sd card?) also has same problem, may be the problem is not the sd card liao...

in this case, i do recommend you to factory reset! >.<
*
erm. ok. later home, i try again use laptop do error checking, and long format again. see got problem or not.
now i just try reboot 3 times the phone, without ext_sd. the media scanning in phone and int_sd seem no problem, when plug in ext_sd, the media scan never end. got forum said is cause by memory card?
but I already formatted it with long format wor. T_T

QUOTE(botakbin @ Dec 14 2011, 12:51 PM)
isit caused by ur avg pro?
*
nope. I install it since 1st day I bought. no problem until 2,3 days ago.
and in fact, avg pro helps me. after insert ext_sd, media scanner keep running, I run avg pro to scan phone,
after finish scan all content, the media scanner also stop.
perharps media scanner also capture what avg pro scan, so they both share same scanning and cache on ext_sd.


QUOTE(Dannyl @ Dec 14 2011, 01:01 PM)
The OS resides in ROM.  Bear in mind that whatever changes to the ROM will remain EVEN AFTER you factory reset, such as removed stock ringtones, removed stock apps, replaced boot animation, replaced default fonts, etc.
*
so, you mean factory reset don't change the system ?
it only wipe data?
how about hard reset? reinstall OS?

* ps. I didn't root my phone.

QUOTE(CarroTT @ Dec 14 2011, 01:09 PM)
U can back up using backup titanium or mybackup pro. Mybackup pro is easy to use and can back up contacts n sms. If the factory reset dun work u can still revert back to the backup.

But the backup app needs root maybe . . . . . .dun remember . . . .anyone knows ?
*

i use mybackup pro, seem no need root.  ya titanium need root, so I didn't use.



* ps. I didn't root my phone.

Have you tried it with another sd card? Just to confirm that it is not caused by faulty card.
*
yes, tried once with my old 4gb sd card. same, never end media scanning.
but later home will try again.

if 4gb sd card work, mean my 16gb sd card problem? need reformat or buy new 1?
if 4gb sd card didn't work, will try reformat 16gb sd card with long format and error checking.
if still not working, perharps the media scanner system get buggy or what on ext_sd gua, then I shall do factory reset.
aiks.

app2sd those apps and games, the gameloft game I patch 1.
now got error and keep delete those apps and games, but didn't solve my problem. aikss.

QUOTE(jayro_88 @ Dec 14 2011, 03:00 PM)
Better go and check with other sd card. Afraid that could be the reason your phone not working well.
*
ytd did already, still got error.
so later will try again my old 4gb sd card, and using my sis SGW plug in my sd card see.
or use her sd card as well to see my phone can run as usual bo.
aiks.

will post her at night. pray for me. hope long format will solve everything.
if long format still cant work and is the ext_sd problem and faulty,
then die liao, need to buy new ext_sd. T_T
this ext_sd I buy not even 2 weeks from lelong.
kingmax class 10 16GB. cry.gif


Added on December 14, 2011, 3:41 pmbtw, when I use AVG Pro to scan phone and ext_sd, after 10-15min it finish scan, the media scanner also stop. and gallery and other apps can open, can see ext_sd content.
which mean the avg pro scan share the scanning/cache on ext_sd with the media scanner.

that's 1 thing which let me confidence that is not the ext_sd error,
but media scanning in internal memory and usb storage finish within minutes,
so I come out with 1 possible conclusion,
the media scanner system on the ext_sd somehow corrupt so the scanning never end when scanning ext_sd, and using avg pro only able to "push" it together and finish scan on ext_sd.

outside sell v exp compare to online.
I ask my 16gb class 10 microSD , outside sell RM 150-200.
I see lelong all start from RM88-RM120,130 nia. Damn.

bigger class, better when loading and cache for media, and gaming.
When you put in usb mass storage, transfer faster lo.
class 4 promise at least 4mb/s where class 10 at least 10mb/s.

It's disappointing to find out that the Galaxy W can't support many HD games. Hmm sad.gif

It can, just those games haven't release. Why do you think those 1ghz processor can play but not SGW with 1.4ghz processor. just haven;t relase, or you can get the games that support for same processor.
biggrin.gif cheer and good luck.

i oso have this problem with Blood and Glory. on top of that, it's hard to 'parry' an attack. in Infinity Blade, i can slash like 4 times in a second! and parry is much easier. in Blood and Glory, anything faster than 2 slides a second will not registered... i tested this in Asus Transformer, still the same... so, i got 5 golds in the first 5 tournament, but cant really proceed further...

i completed infinity blade 1, now, about to start playing infinity blade 2 biggrin.gif
*
ya. Hope infinite blade come to android please ~ T_T
so its not my phone problem, it's the game problem. XD haha
syok lo you. ==

I better wait I finish graduate next year and fast out work earn money.
then can get a gaming desktop, Assassin Creed Revelation !!!! lolz
Gameloft should come out another 3D HD Assassin Creed games ~
the old Assassin Creed Chronicle, kinda buggy and sucks. lolz

QUOTE(IwanAGP @ Dec 15 2011, 03:41 PM)
Don't think so. 16GB class 10 SD goes for that price. MicroSD Class 4 around 80 also. Class 10 is a lot more expensive unless you bought it the previous PC Fair. 30MB/s damn cheap.
*
Yes, I bought 16GB Class 10 Kingmax for RM88, from lelong.com.
You guys find out that exp price range is because you ask from shop.
I don't know why, but the current market for SD card is totally way too exp, they mark up too much.
last year I ask for micro SD, 16GB class 10 Kingston, was RM 130, now the price is RM180.
so better get from retailer or online.
Of course, It's ORIGINAL, in case some said are not.

Guys, galaxy w doesn't have ambient light sensor, correct? Is it an issue, does it bother you?

nope. Actually I don't really know why need ambient light sensor.
I always set 20% brightness and it's enough for me.
if say using ambient light sensor to save battery,
I think got ambient light sensor running will consume more battery. LOLZ.

haha, btw, no problem without light sensor. =D
you can install 7 key widget pro, it can add brightness widget which you can customize from 10% - 100%. haha.
my setting is (20%>40%>60%>80>100%). haha
