General :: Android Resetting User Values And Updating Software Constantly
Jun 14, 2012
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.
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.
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?

Prefs are defined in preferences.xml, arrays.xml, and strings.xml. Default values are defined in strings.xml.
For example:

Even though I specifically set FB to do not update nor notify, I still notice that in the widgets comments are updated. What am I doing wrong? or What is wrong with FB? I'm using Android 2.1 with latest FB version.

Hello everyone, and thanks in advance for the help. What I'm trying to do is a relatively simple task, but one that doesn't seem to be working. What I'm trying to do is display the Orientation X,Y,Z coordinates on the screen in basic TextView boxes. The sensors are constantly updating my Global.myOrientation float array, and then I'm running a Timed thread (I'm very new to threading, so forgive me if it's ugly, but it gets the job done almost). In this thread I just set the value of each TextView's text to the desired value. The problem is that it only seems to work the first time.
It correctly displays whatever my initial data is, but then subsequent runs of the thread do nothign to update the onscreen values when I change the orientation of the phone. LogCat output shows me that inside the run() method, the values of Global.getOrientationX,Y,Z are being updated correctly, and that the right data is being passed to TextView. How can I get around this limitation of TextView being initialized once and then immutable?
Any assistance in fixing this, or providing an alternate solution would be greatly appreciated. Code posted below:
CODE:...............

I want to ask where does the defaults values of memory min-free values of a Rom reside? I mean what file I would have to edit to edit those values?

I am using a PreferenceActivity to let the user set some values. I am feeding it the xml file with the defined preferences.
I have set all the android:defaultValue="" for them.
When I start my application, I need the preferences, or if they are not set yet manually, I want the default values:
CODE:.................
However, when android:defaultValue="true" I still get false. So, it looks like the defaultValues set in the XML are not used anywhere but when initializing the preferences-screen.
I don't want to hardcode the default values in the getBoolean() method. So, is there a way get the default-values with only defining these in 1 place?

how I can reset the default app settings. For example, using Blinkfeed on my M8, when I tap on a link, the first time I was asked which browser should be used. How can I reset Blinkfeed, or any other app to ask me again which app to use? Is it always an app setting, or can I centrally control that behavior?

I've tried calling Verizon about my Droid 2 resetting almost nonstop. I can't make it through a phone call or browse the web or anything without it resetting. I had had my first one for less than a year when it started acting up. Verizon tried sending me a replacement but it did the same thing. Now I'm on my third Droid 2 in less than a year and it's resetting on its own also. I haven't downloaded any apps on this newest replacement so I don't know what's causing it. Could it be my battery or SD card? I'm just at a loss and I really don't want to get a new phone already.

I use Password for screen unlock (digits and letters). I changed yesterday night and now I totally can't remeber the combination.There is no option like pattern unlock to enter the google account password to unlock! even after doing 100 trial.
I really don't want to do a hard reset.I'm rooted and debugging mode is active
I tried doing this adb command but it didn't work as it appear for pattern lock;
Quote:
./adb shell
# sqlite3 data/data/com.android.providers.settings/databases/settings.db
sqlite> update system set value=0 where name='lock_pattern_autolock';
sqlite> update system set value=0 where name='lockscreen.lockedoutpermanently';[code]....
that command to work with password lock instead of pattern lock ?

Usually you can just delete the shortcut in your home screen, then drag and drop a new one from the drawer. However, I seem to have run into a problem with my gallery app. No matter what icon theme I apply, it won't change the icon!

Why do all Android devices constantly receive/send data traffic? Even though no app is requiring it for that moment.During a one minute period the data traffic light light up at least once.

why my hosts file gets reset after a reboot no matter whether I change with adaway or adblock or if I manually replace the hosts file myself and set to read only. Have searched about and only solution I read about was get a custom kernel. Although I am already on a custom kitkat ROM and using dorimanx kernel for galaxy s2. Also never had problems with hosts resetting on jb or ICS. Even creating a symlink to data/data/hosts doesn't work. On reboot the symlink just gets replaced with the original useless hosts file.

I got a Kaya Android tablet which was lock after the user entered wrong pattern several times. The tablet presents the unlock with gmail screen but, guess what!, it does not connect to any even public unencrypted WiFi so that it is impossible to unlock with gmail account.
I tried to connect to it from adb via USB but it does not recognized as ADB device, only as USB mass-storage.And, finally, magic key combinations like power-volume-up does not give me any recovery or boot loader.
Is it the stage where I go and throw it to garbage or there is something else left?

My Desire V started reseting itself for no apparent reason that I can think of. Uninstalled the few apps I installed for the last few weeks. The crash logs show this in the bottom (and other I/O Errors all over the log file as well):
mmc0: Command timeout
mmc0: DMA channel flushed
end_request: I/O Error, dev mmcblk0, sector 814992
init: cannot execve('/system/bin/dbus-daemon'): I/O Error
Restarting Linux version bla bla bla
msm_pm_restart : Do HW_RESET By APP not by RADIO
No Errors detected
(mmcblk0 is the internal memory card)
Is my flash card broken? HTC Desire V

I installed an update to my ROM and restored apps + data to my phone and now the lock screen is stopping me from unlocking the phone. so i installed a bypass app to at least unlock my phone.
I need to either remove/reset the password so i can change it or have something to change the password.

I'm getting this message popping up on my GS3 T999V somewhat frequently. My phone will disconnect from whatever bluetooth device is currently connected and the phone will bring up the bluetooth device selection screen.
Do I simply need to reset the bluetooth stack or something to remedy this and if so, how do I go about doing that?
I've tried fixing permissions and rebooting but that did not work. I'm on Stock 4.1.2 with Faux Kernel.

I've been owning an android since Nexus one, then the S and then Galaxy Nexus till few days ago when i decided to buy a Galaxy Note from Ebay.
I am with verizon, so after i switched my sim card from my galaxy nexus to the new note 2, after few minutes, it keeps downloading / syncing some text messages. Suddenly out of nowhere these text messages appear with someone elses conversation. After few minutes some other contacts appear in my contacts list too. None i know.Reset the whole phone again, this time did not log into any account and the same thing happens.reset another time and this time, removed the sim card and connected with WiFi only and still all the stuff appeared.
Usually when I reset the phone to factory settings, it tuns off an on few times and acts weird for few minutes until all these messages and contacts appear.I have checked and i am not signed into any account?! Don't know how these text messages keep appearing

My phone will not stay on at all. It will keep restarting unless plugged up to a charger or computer. It will just keep doing that every five seconds I have a galaxy s2 skyrocket.

How do I fix my Ainol Elf tablet? It keeps resetting and no internal storage.
Last night I installed busybox onto it. When I started it up this morning, I found it had gone and reset itself. (Goes back to default chinese language, all apps and settings gone) On top of that, it says there's 0.00 bytes of internal storage left. I can seem to install very small apps (less than a couple of megabytes) but nothing bigger than that.
Perhaps the most annoying thing is that when you restart, it resets again.
PS I did find this post: [URL] ....
Specifc Details on the elf tablet:
-runs ICS4.0.3
-Allwinner a10 1ghz cpu
-mali400 gpu

When I first bought it, I was not happy with the features it was offering so I searched and found out about the CM7(Cyanogenmod 7) mod, and decided that I wanted to try out a modded phone. I've been using CM7 for a few years now and have just plain become unhappy with what they're putting out and decided that I finally wanted my phone back to being normal and rooted. I booted into my clockworkmod(after backing up all apps/data with TitaniumBackup pro & taking pics/vids/etc off through USB) and decided to wipe my sdcard and all other options that Clockworkmod offers. After doing that I realized I made a horrible mistake...every time I go to reboot my phone, it ends up back at the boot menu and at the top it says "Fastboot Mode - No boot or recovery IMG" how would I go about resetting my phone back to a normal OS without being able to transfer stuff onto it without it being booted and having a USB option.

I've had this happen on both my old 2003 Mustang with an after market head unit and my new 2011 Nissan Altima. The Nissan has a factory aux plug so I don't think it's an incompatibility between hardware? Basically what happens is, I plug my phone in and start playing music, but the song doesn't take on the properties of the equalizer app. If I go into equalizer and change a frequency, it says "Equalizer has stopped." and then it restarts and THEN my equalizer settings apply to whatever currently plays.
If I go into Google Play and change the song or let the song finish and shuffle to the next play, the equalizer effects stop. My phone is a GSM Galaxy Nexus. I'm running AOKP with Franco kernel and all of the sound mods are disabled.

I'm starting to make my own android roms and i was wondering if it was possible to change the default android settings you get when you flash a rom. For example, when you first boot, animations are already turned on and orientation is turned off (unchecked) by default.
I've got an .apk manager so i've had a feeble attempt at going through .xml files in the decompiled Settings.apk. "res/xml/ sound_and_ display_ settings. xml" had the most potential but i couldn't see any "enable/disable" options.
