Partial Factory Resets?

So the past 2 days I've had an interesting problem, with even more interesting results.
Both mornings I've tried to use my GPS and it just hangs on trying to connect to it. The GPS says it's on, and I can toggle it off and back on again but it never finds any sats.
Yesterday I reboot the phone and it takes a while to boot the phone back up (most like the first time you boot after a fresh install), and when the phone came back online the GPS worked but all my bluetooth pairings were gone.
Today I have the same GPS problem so I reboot again, and again it takes a while to boot and so far I still have my bluetooth pairings, but I've been unable to connect to the devices, all my sound settings are back to the defaults, when I hold down the power button now the only option I have is Power Off, nothing else, when my screen times out and I hit power to bring it back on it goes right back to wherever I was, I don't see the lock screen anymore. And to top it all off my home button and my search button do not work.
What a mess, this phone is getting worse by the day, I'm actually starting to regret the purchase. I guess it's time to call it in and see what they say.
Edit: Forgot to add all my SMS messages were deleted as well.

Rooted? Have you done anything to it? That's definitely not normal but I guess you know that

Ya it's rooted and has nvflashed clockworkmod recovery installed. Rooted the day I got the phone and clockworkmod recovery has been installed for about a week.
I just tried clearing the cache partition, wiping Dalvik Cache, fixing permissions, and no change. Running a full backup via Titanium Backup now before I try a factory reset to see if that fixes it.
If that doesn't do it I'll try restoring a backup image from last week.

I would guess it's not the phone but the CWM made the mess. You probably want to try factory reset.

My Bluetooth settings and profiles randomly appear and disappear and I'm bone stock.

Well, factory reset got all my buttons working again, and my screen locks again. Since I'm back to stock now and have to re-setup everything now I think I'll go try out the Eaglesblood ROM and see how that goes.

[Q] Weapon G2x Bricked?

So I just picked up this G2x from a guy off of cl. He has the g2x running on the weapon g2x rom, and I was fine with that. It was working pretty stable. But I kept getting a notification that Gmail could not log onto his account. So i tried to remove his account in the accounts and sync, and it would give me this error saying that I would have to wipe to factory defaults because some applications were using that account. After I worked up the nerve to wipe, my g2x turned off and back on. Now it turns on but it goes to setup wizard and then it makes me force close setup wizard, gmail, google services framework, and all this other random stuff. "Sorry! The application ~~~ (~~~~) has stopped unexpectedly. Please try again". I'm not the most fluent guy when it comes to rooting/flashing but If someone could just point me in the right direction I think i can figure it out. Thank you.

First start by turning off the phone then hold volume - and power till you get a second LG splash screen. says LG with blue behind it let go of volume and power to get to clockworkmod recovery next wipe data and cache then reboot and sign into Gmail. If it doesn't go to recovery let me know and ill tell you some more steps

you will most likely need to reflash weapon g2x here the link that http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1207125.So download the zip containing the weapon g2x rom then boot into cwm which can be done by fulling turning of the phone. Then power it back up holding the power and volume down button at the same time it will boot into a blue screen with different options.The find the option make a backup of your droid from in there then after thats done go and wipe data/factory reset and then to go advance and wipe dalvik cache then go to install from sd card and choose the g2x rom once install your good to go 8)just click reboot and it will start like new btw u may need to install google apps by flashing

[Q] Unfortunately, settings has stopped

I get that message when I go into Settings>Application Manager and tap on the All tab. If I try this several times, the phone starts rebooting when I just try to go into Settings. I tried wiping cache in the stock recovery, but that didn't help? Any ideas?

wipe data

Thanks. Wiping data is the same as a factory reset in that it will revert phone to original state when purchased, correct?

yes and it will reformat your internal sd, so back it up first.

OK, thanks for you help.

I've backed up my IMEI with adb nvbackup and QPST. The Synergy backup .zip doesn't work unless I'm rooted and unlocked, correct? Should I root / unlock and flash the Synergy zip before wiping data? Any chance rooting and unlocking will fix the 'settings has stopped' issue? I assume wiping data will cause me to lose root and unlocked state. Thanks for your help.

sordswi seems
Same thing with me on Samsung GT-I9300 with Android 4.1.1
I came across this problem 2 times.
The first time it happened when I installed a game "Waking Mars". The game was working fine, I played for around 20 minutes and then wanted to check free storage left after installing. But when I opened Application manager swiping was very laggy and after a few (5-10) secs it crashed with "Unfortunately, Settings has stopped" error or just closed. At that time I didn't know that it was because of "Waking Mars" and started to delete unnecessery applications I installed that day and yesterday, but problem vanished only after uninstalling "Waking Mars". Also, while this app was installed, phone's screen was glitchy and became bleached (the glitch disappeared after rebooting), like when "Natural" screen mode is activated, but it wasn't. When I had tried to install the game again, the problem came back.
The second time it was because of "Galaxy On Fire 2" installed. Same problems appeared: crashing Application manager and glitchy screen.
Both games contained their data in ".apk" file, but another Waking Mars version with separate data (cache) caused the same problem too.
By the way, funny thing is that both games are about space
P.S.: Sorry for my English, it isn't my native language.

[Q] Factory Reset Did Not Wipe Anyhing

I'm trying to remove apps that's on this phone (GT-S7500) because some of the apps always force close and not working. Firstly, I tried uninstall the apps one by one, all went good until I rebooted the device, all of the apps are back again. Second, went to privacy>erase everything including SD card content, device rebooted and went straight to recovery. It was weird because normally it will reboot itself straight to home screen. So I select the option factory reset/wipe data, after that wipe cache partition and reboot. Device does not reboot but turned off completely (weird again) Turned it back on, and only saw that none of the apps were removed. Even the wallpaper are still the same. Next thing I do is manually boot into recovery menu and factory reset again, still the same thing, (device turned off without rebooting itself, turned it back on and everything was still the same) after few tries again, I finally decided to flash a stock rom with ODIN. Flashing was successful ODIN shows PASS, waiting device reboot but it shut off completely again. turned it back on, but nothing changes. wallpaper are still the same and every single downloaded apps were still there. Went to settings> about device only to found that it wasn't the same rom that I've flashed earlier using ODIN.(flashed 2-3 times again, results still the same) Very confused right now, suspected that the internal SD card was corrupted/damaged. Does anyone experiencing such thing on your galaxy ace plus? searched on xda forums and found that this issue was also happening on few other devices. This is not my phone, just helping a customer. Thank You.

S7 very slow after factory reset

I had a bug on my S7 where it would say "No apps running" when in fact there were apps running - I read that the solution to this was to wipe the cache. I booted into recovery mode and wiped the cache - but I guess I must've accidentally selected "factory reset" (they really shouldn't have them right next to each other) and wiped my phone. I'm running stock Android, the phone isn't rooted.
Since starting over, my phone is now VERY VERY slow. Just trying to wake it up can take up to 6 seconds to get the screen to come back on. I have no idea what's causing it.
What I've tried doing to fix the problem:
* I've uninstalled almost every app except what it comes with
* I've tried disabling the stock bloatware apps
* I've tried clearing the cache again (making sure NOT to accidentally hit factory reset this time)
I'm at a loss. Any ideas? BTW, I don't have an SD card in my phone.
Thanks!

When you select an option in recovery, it's very easy to see which one is highlighted before you press select, if you selected factory reset instead of clear cache, it's your own fault for not looking what you were doing, not because they are next to each other, you've been too quick and not watching the screen properly
Not only that, but when you do select it, (Haven't been into the S7 recovery yet to check, but usually) you have to scroll down a list of empty lines before you reach the Yes option to actually perform the action
That said, I would try (considering the phone is now empty) another factory reset, see how you get on after that
Not sure if FRP lock would cause any problems?

Have you restarted your Phone and sure that you not have any "Cleaner" on your device (except Sammys)?
