My phone "reset" itself, what should I do? - General Questions and Answers

I've posted this on a few other forums without much luck...
I have a Moto E (1st Gen) and it had some trouble rebooting after it powered off because of a low battery. It kept hanging on the "M" startup screen so I held down the power button and eventually it turned on properly again.
However, after it booted up the layout, app preferences, and default apps have all been reset.
The MicroSD card I use is also acting up. I can view pictures stored on it on my phone but nothing else, the apps I have on it won't show up.
When I put it in my computer I can see them in a .android_secure folder with ".asec" files, and in the Android > "data" folder.
My Google account(s) and wifi settings were still intact and third party apps on my phone's storage are still there.
How do I get my phone back to the way it was before?

[Completed] [Q] A Tough Bootloop Problem...

Good day to all. I'm here resorted to ask about my problem here because I really can't handle it. I been googling for days. I'm ran out of resources from both google and tablet. So, I hope you can help me here. Note I'm going to write this in FULL detail here, so expect this to be a extremely long post. (I been warning you) So here goes....
Anyone uses the brand Ramos?(kind of unpopular brand) I use Ramos W21, it's been using it around 1 year and a half, and it endured a lot of problems, but fixed by researching on online forums and apply various methods there. Now, I think it's finally gave up...
One time, when I opened it and play my usual apps and browsing, it caused the errors " unfortunately
google.process.gapps has stopped", unfortunately browser has stoped",and "unforturnately google play has stopped". Then, I tried to clear data the similar apps in settings as usual, and even disabling them. Then more errors exploded, and "unfortunately launcher has stopped" appears. The menu screen(where the usual wallpaper and shortcut apps are located) turns black, while my running apps are still there running. When I pressed the back key to exit the app, now only tons of errors from the launcher appears endlessly(while the screen is black.
The time I finally turned it off by hard reset it made its way to the main problem: the bootloop.
Okay, here's where the thing gets real. It opens with the usual ramos logo, but the next one is a silver flashing android logo instead of enlarged ramos logo with spinning fire from the letter o(which is NOT my usual boot up screen) When I turned it off, it reopens again up to flashing silver android logo and the cycle repeats, even with pin reset until battery dies out. No recovery mode, so I can't use it to fix this. USB connections can't be recognized when inserted to PC. And no, the tablet is not rooted, and I don't customized anything, no mods, and no fancy roms. Just using a stock rom.
So now what? All I have here is just a sd card slot, which I think there's hope in there. Right now it has two options, deal with it and fix with all of might, or repair it in the nearest repair shop(something that is pretty risky, a lot of fakes and robbers here)
Well, this is the first time I post here, so sorry for anything that goes wrong. Thanks in advance.
Hi, thank you for using XDA Assist. It sounds like a rouge app has replaced your boot animation. Rather than try to chase that down and try to fix it I'd flash the stock firmware and start all over. Unfortunately there is very little about your device on XDA. So you'll probably have to google that.
Solved!!!
Update: I FINALLY FIXED IT!!! IT WAS A MIRACLE!!! O.O
After I keep on wrecking it's power buttons and volume buttons, I discovered something decisive!
This tablet actually HAS RECOVERY MODE! Again, it has a recovery mode! However, the way how to input it is very unique compared to most devices, including other devices from the same brand!
Now having the power of recovery state, I first selected "wipe data cache". The old large Ramos logo with spinning fire appeared again! But it's still bootlooping. So I went back on recovery state, selected "factory reset" and boom, IT BOOTS LIKE BRAND NEW!!! (sacrificing my old data though)
Okay, I don't want this recovery mode powers to be kept only by me. So I'm going to share it to all Ramos users,especially the model W21, like right now!
1. To do this, you need power button and volume up button.
2. While bootlooping, hold the power button and volume button at the same time and it will turn it off(Then expect it to turn on back up again automatically)
3. When it opens up again to the small Ramos logo(no fire animation), now RELEASE the POWER BUTTON ONLY, and keep holding the volume up button. Note, this is important! If you do anymore than this, it will either black out, go bootlooping once again, or ultimately, nothing.
4. Keep holding the volume up button, then the ramos logo will disappear, and now it will enter to our holy grail, RECOVERY MODE! Congratz!
Now when you finally have a normal working Ramos tablet again, you may go there again by turning it off by "Power Off" (assuming that your tablet is open) then holding the power and volume up(then follow above!)
I hope this will help a ton for Ramos users! :laugh:
I'm glad you got it working. You should post your solution here, http://forum.xda-developers.com/general/general More people with your device will look there than in the Assist forum. Name the post something like [SOLVED] RAMOS Bootloop Problem

[Completed] Problems with LG Sunrise

Hey guys, I'm having some serious issues with a stock LG Sunrise (LGL15G). My phone was working perfectly fine last night right before I went to bed, however, when I woke up this morning it started to lock up and wasn't responding so I did what any normal person would do and I went to power off and restart. Now when the phone restarted I got an error message saying "Unfortunately, the process com.android.systemui has stopped." I clicked the OK button however the message kept coming back no matter how many times I clicked it. I them proceeded to pull the battery out (the phone was not allowing me to select my power off option while holding the power button) and replace it and start up the phone. This time I got a black background and the same message and if I press it through about 20-30 times it finally disappears however, I can not do anything with the phone none of the options work except for the power option when i hold the power button. I've tried booting into safe mode and was able to work around the error (with extremely quick timing and proper clicking of the setting button and tried to do a reset however it's blacked out according to server policy. This phone is completely stock with no root/custom recovery, and I can not seem to find a way to boot into a stock recovery for this phone. I know that some of the LG phone did not come with a stock recovery installed but I have no idea how I can fix this issue. I know this isn't a support group but I've been having a close to impossible time trying to find information on the LG Sunrise since it's not a popular phone, I just need guidance to anyone who has any information on this and any possible solutions.

Hi, thanks for using XDA assist!
First, please create an account so you can post in other forums.
It sounds as if you may need to boot to recovery, and preform a factory reset.
After creating your account, you can ask for more help here:

Good luck!
I forgot that I had an account on this site however never used it. However I have posted in that forum and like stated above I can not get the device to boot into a recovery mode what so ever/

[Completed] Disabling screen-on/wake-up reaction to change in power status?

I've noticed that my rooted XT1527 2nd Gen MotoE will automatically "wake up"/turn it's screen on whenever it recognizes that it has been given a power source (or the power source has been taken away).
Basically, every time I plug in, or unplug the power cord, the phone's screen flicks on in recognition of the change in power status. I want to disable this and have the phone screen only turn on if I physically press the power button.
The reason I'm asking is because I am experimenting with charging my phones with solar panels. Things work great when it's very sunny out, but when it's cloudy, even though the phone stays plugged to the solar panel, the charging source flickers in and out with the clouds (which seems to be the equivalent of plugging and unplugging the phone from the commercial charger in rapid succession). When this happens, the phone's screen turns on in recognition of either gaining or losing the power source, and on cloudy or rainy days, this process happens so frequently that the phone screen essentially stays on all day and slowly drains itself of battery much more quickly than it would have if it didn't feel the need to turn on the screen every time the power source came back or went away.
Any suggestions for how to disable this "screen on to recognize change in power status" feature?
My phones are rooted and I've made some simple firmware modifications to them, but I'm definitely a n00b.
I won't go into the details, but I'm using the phones for scientific research, which is the reason for the solar panels. I want my phones to be able to stay on and collect data, but I don't want that screen waking up and flicking on every time there's a change in power status! I'd love to be able to get rid of this feature! Any ideas? Maybe there are apps that would allow me to do this? I'm not even sure what to search for.
(I posted this question in the MotoE-specific forum as well, before I realized XDA Assist was an option, and I'm not sure how to delete that post. Apologies for this double-posting)

Asus tf700t Installing android after COMPLETE reset???

So, I have a friend who gave me an Asus tf700t, since he didn't needed it anymore. The only issue is that he had erased EVERYTHING of it. He also told me that his device was unlocked.
So now if i press the power button (for a few seconds), he beeps twice and i come on a black ASUS screen. On the top-left corner it sais 'This device is unlocked'. Nothing more. I also tried keep pressing the Volume-down key and hold the power button (then he normally gets into a boot option menu), but then he turns black for 1-2 seconds, beeps twice again, and I land back on the ASUS screen.
Pressing the reset button doesn't do anything, just turns black and I come on the ASUS screen.
If I connect the device to my pc, the pc doesn't recognize it (so I can't install software/firmware/... on the device via pc). If i use a Micro SD card, it doesnt recognize anything either.
OR I'm just installing the wrong software, OR the device is totally rip, OR there might be a solution I don't know...
Is there anyone who has more experience than me and might have a solution?

I don't have this device and (based upon past experiences) i can only guess that 2 Beeps means that there's an issue with 1 or more of the the RAM Rails but, this is just a guess on my part.
Your best bet is to try to obtain some member guidance within the following area of the forum that's specific to your device and variants.

How to force shutdown without touchscreen.

So my Note 10+ screen broke so that I can only see the top 15% and only touch the bottom 60%. I booted into TWRP to backup everything, and now I'm in a situation where I can't turn the thing off. I am unable to press the shutdown button, only the download mode and recovery mode buttons. I am also unable to press the ADB side load button to send a shutdown command. It will be quite some time before I am able to fix the screen, so I don't want the phone battery to be sitting dead and degrading for a month or more. I already tried draining the battery and then plugging it in to charge, but the phone automatically booted into TWRP.... hardware key combos only reboot, they won't shut down...
Does anybody have an idea how to power off my device? Or to reboot into system or gain ADB access without being able to use the touchscreen? Thanks for the help
Humm, after reading the "how do we make XDA a better place thread", and the "this place is just not as good as it use to be" thread, I thought I would try to help. But I suppose that if you were on the forum since 2010 you have probably already thought of this. Also, I don't have a "Note 10+", so this is just guessing based on general Android behavior.
My screen is also unresponsive and I was able to reboot/power off by just by holding down the power button for half-a-minute. Sometimes I would have to "pull the battery", as soon as the phone started to reboot. I've done it a few times and haven't bricked the phone yet. So it is not something you do not want to do all the time. But then again this response will probably not be helpful because your phone does not have a removable battery. (whether or not a battery is pull-able is not something generally listed in the phone specks unless you do lots of digging).

Yeah unfortunately battery is sealed inside and holding the power button yields no result
@TheLexx
Take phone to authorized service center and let them fix it.
