I keep getting unreadable emergency alerts with some non-text or binary characters with sim-card absent.
Earlier I activated 'Developer Mode' and might have changed some default settings . Now I did Data Factory Reset from the phone Settings menu, but it did not resolve the problem. How can I do complete factory reset or hard reset to bring the phone to pre-sale condition?
Have you solved it, i'm having same issue.
alerts just keep on coming and they unreadable.

No, I have not
too bad. i found alert settings in networking setup section, but even when i uncheck them all i still get those stupid alerts.
Here is what i found on russian forum.
If you phone is rooted, you can install this zip using CWM and it will remove the CellBroadcastReceiver.apk, which is responsible for alerts.
I've done it and it all good.

You don't need root. Only CWM or any other custom recovery
But recovery required unlocked bootloader...

Hi all,
Title says it all: I can't seem to disable the device encryption on my Transformer. In the Encryption menu the Encrypt tablet option is greyed out and just says Encrypted beneath it.
How do I disable this?
Thanks,
Casey
Do you have a exchange account set up? Some accounts force encryption.
Sent from my Transformer TF101 using XDA Premium App
I do, but the odd thing is that I manually chose to encrypt through the encryption menu - it wasnt a forced policy.
cant be undone. When setting up encryption (manual or through policy) the device says explicied that only way to undo is to hardware reset to default.
You ignored that so its staying encrypted or reset.
I have also encrypted my eeepad and dont notice any performance issues. I like it encrypted because i also use it for work/studie

Well, dunno about ignored... more like didn't notice...or maybe didn't read the instructions properly....lol.
As for performance issues, the boot takes longer and we have to enter the passcode twice, which is a bit of an annoyance.
Thanks.

I had this problem awhile back. Neither TWRP nor CWM could do a factory wipe while encrypted. If you run into that search for the superwipe script, it worked quite well to get me back on track.Should find the script here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1245892
I hope someone can help with my issue which has made my HTC Sensation XE fairly un-usable.
About a month ago, I started to randomly get similar error messages when using different functions of my phone.
For example, when trying to access my text messages, I would get the error "Messages stopped unexpectedly. Would you like to tell HTC" when trying to access the Messages function. As a result, I installed GO SMS Pro to workaround this issue.
I would get a similar message when trying to access the People function to browse my contacts or when trying to access my recently received calls list.
Thinking that a factory reset would solve this issue, I did this earlier today but, un-fortunately, this has not solved the issue and, in fact, it appears to be worse as I am getting this message more frequently when trying to use various functions.
For example, from the brief tests I have done, it is affecting:
WiFi - I am un-able to select my home WiFi network
People - I am un-able to browse my contacts
Calendar - I am un-able to view my Calendar
Weather - I am un-able to amend Weather settings
Due to this issue, the phone only has basic us-able functionality which, as you can appreciate, is a complete pain.
Can anyone advise/suggest how to resolve?
I've tried to find a solution on the internet without much luck.
For information, it is a stock HTC Sensation XE purchased a year ago.

Tried it with Calendar but made no difference - still getting the same error message.
Very strange behaviour.
Factory reset doesn't solve the problem either - have tried it twice.

I got my phone back and recovered it through a backup from TWRP.
Everything went smooth, besides half my drop-down menu settings are gone. Anyone with similar problems?

the spotify app.. nothing else
I can't understand how it can disappear without any update. Like Samsung sat a date in the system it should disappear on
Maybe it's there when we wake up tomorrow.
i am now having this problem, the phone rebooted itself which has been reported on the net by lots of people and after i downloaded an app i noticed that this mobile data icon has disappeared. i have about 32 gb of space left on my phone so i dont understand what has happened here.
happened to me to today , 920i not rooted, Saudi Arabia
So what was the point of OTA update? What's changed beside disappearing toggles?
I'm having the same issue here in Ireland since yesterday. Spoke with Samsung support and they said factory reset should fix it but I haven't done it yet
Has anyone tried a factory reset to see if it worked?

I've read that some people tested it and factory reset is not working as far as i know... If you have rooted your phone, there are some solutions exist. Otherwise, we have to wait for a fix.

great tip, but due to the hardware problems I've had I rather not root (and yes I know that pingpongroot doesn't trigger kn0x).
The problem appeared after upgrade to nougat. I tried factory reset, it was ok for the first hours and now, the problem returned.
Anyone facing the same problems?

Hi
How did you upgrade?
OTA , flashing??
If OTA did you upgrade al your apps , maybe one of them is making trouble
If flashing , how? and also did you upgrade your apps
Hey, thanks for the answer. It was OTA. I suppose all apps are up to date since I restored to factory settings and re-installed them.
The problem is still there even in safe mode...

Hi
yeah is odd , i would think it has to be app related .....
When you get the error ..after you introduce the password? what about if you ask your phone to forget your old connection , it allows you to connect to the new one then?
I would try to wipe dalvik and cache from recovery and /or reflash stock rom again..maybe something went wrong at least the modem

I tried to wipe the cache with no success. I am on a trip right now, and I cannot wipe the dalvik for the moment.
I figured out a walkthrough though using a third party app called "WIFI manager". I even managed to install a certificate and use it for a connection to an "eduroam" network...
Hi friends,
Since yesterday, my wifi and bluetooth don't work anymore. When enabling them, it scans nothing . I've made a factory reser without any psuccess !
Never seen an issue like this on any phone...
Thanks for your help guys
Have you tried restarting the phone? I had 1 time yesteday too, suddenly, the phone was idle, and when I checked Wifi found nothing. Restarted and then it works again. Not sure if related to March update or some other stuffs

Wow...after a factory reset, that's pretty much it!
You can try doing the reset network settings button (you can search it in the search bar in Settings or find it in the Internet setting on top right button [wrench and reset circle]), but I can't imagine it doing better than a factory reset.
The best/last thing that can be suggested, since it states you are rooted in your sig, is to flash the latest Full Factory image (March) and/or with the "-w" intact (since you stated that you did a factory reset so I imagine your phone is wiped anyways) and see if that doesn't fix the issue. The best 3 methods to achieve this is using the online Android Flash Tool, the tool PixelFlasher that can be found here on XDA, or manually using platform-tools (you must've used one of these in the past to be rooted, so I assume you're familiar).
Hopefully you get it figured out. Worst case, the phone is still under manufacturer's warranty and you should be able to get it replaced with a refurbished if it truly isn't resolved...

Mmmm...when you stated you "factory reset", it wasn't clear whether it was from the OS system setting or when flashing...
I don't think there is a "better clean" way to flash and/or reset the phone. If you're not flashing/sideloading OTA (which you aren't)...
It (reset network) was a very long shot, but worth exploring just in case it hadn't been tried yet...
I mean, I guess you can try Android Flash Tool and even go as far as to flash to both slots and relock bootloader to get a pure, stock status and see if the problem truly sticks that way. You've already wiped the phone, so I doubt this could hurt or you lose anything important at this point. But I can't imagine dirty flashing the latest March update (or even including disabling the verity stuff) wouldnt've addressed or reset things to set the issue straight...
If it's still there after relocking the bootloader and flashing to both slots, then it's warranty exchange time (if you ever want to resolve the issue)...
*most likely the flashing somehow wrecked the system board radio enough...
If/When this works, you'll need go through the trouble of unlocking the bootloader, and reflashing the Full Factory image with disabling the verity & validation stuff, before rooting again.
Ok I think it's a hardware problem. When I shake my phone, I hear something moving.

Are you sure that what you are hearing move when you shake the phone is just the OIS for the camera? All phones with OIS will make some noise when you shake them.
