Reset Samsung ace 2. So, to reset Samsung Galaxy Ace to factory settings you need

It has significantly surpassed its predecessor in popularity and has currently received nearly a thousand comments, to which I try to respond whenever possible. In addition, I regularly receive similar questions by mail.

Of course, I cannot always answer the questions asked. After all, I am, after all, not technical support, but just an ordinary user (when it comes to phones), but my advice helped many, which I am sincerely glad about.

People often ask how to resuscitate a phone when the system crashes, when it can’t even boot. I kept answering that I needed to do a system restore and even wrote in detail several times in the comments how this was done.

Writing detailed instructions had been planned for a long time, but for obvious reasons I didn’t want to tear down the system on my phone for the sake of a few pictures. But recently, unable to withstand the inhumane experiments, he began to literally ask for this job, as a result of which I decided to bring him to his senses and at the same time tell him in detail how this is done.

I was lucky because during the recovery process I came across the “RAMDUMP Mode (ARM9 mode)” error, which prevents normal system recovery on the Samsung Galaxy Ace. So now I will teach you not only how to restore your phone but also how to bypass this error if you encounter it too.

Unfortunately, the illustrations turned out terrible, but that's what it is. After all, you can’t take screenshots during the procedure.

So, as you and I know very well, the Samsung S5830 Galaxy Ace runs on the Android mobile operating system, whose reset function is available even from the settings. But it happens that the phone simply refuses to boot. In this case, you need to do a so-called factory reset.

The only downside is that all data on the phone will be deleted, so in case of this last resort, I recommend periodically saving contacts in a Google account or at least in Samsung Kies. I actually always use Google. This makes it easier to synchronize data with all the gadgets you work with.

Suppose your phone stops loading beyond the logo screensaver, cutting off or rebooting endlessly, and you have no other choice but to reset the system.

First, fully charge your phone battery. During charging, it is better to leave it plugged in, otherwise the procedure may simply not start.

With the phone turned off, hold down the main menu and volume up buttons, then also press the power button and hold all three buttons.

If everything goes well, the menu shown in the next picture will soon appear on the screen.

Here you need to select “wipe data/factory reset”. Navigation through menu items is carried out using the volume rocker, and the main menu button is used to confirm.

Then the already familiar menu will appear at the top of the display, in which you will need to select “reboot system now”.

That's all. Your Samsung Galaxy Ace has been restored. The first boot will take significantly longer than usual. Don't worry. This is fine.

This is how everything happens ideally, but there are difficulties. This time an error popped up on my screen with the text “RAMDUMP Mode (ARM9 mode)”. At the same time, the screen glowed without reacting to any actions.

For the uninitiated it looks creepy, but in reality there is nothing scary about it. If you encounter this problem, first remove the cover and take out the battery, then put it back in.

If you try to repeat the procedure, you will again encounter the same error.

In this case, you should hold down the main menu button with the phone turned off and hold it down while holding the power button. That is, unlike the standard situation, we simply do not touch the volume up button and hold two buttons instead of three. Otherwise, everything happens exactly the same.

That's all. I will be glad if this article helps someone.

How is multitasking organized in Android?

Android applications consist of several components. There are four types of components: Activities, Services, Broadcast receivers And Content providers.
Activities represent a graphical user interface for a specific task. For example, an SMS application may have one activity for displaying a list of contacts, one for creating a message, etc. An Activity can be in one of three states:
1. Active or running – in this state it is in the foreground and interacts with the user;
2. Paused – is in the background, but visible to the user, for example, partially blocked by a new activity;
3. Stopped – completely blocked by another activity. But it still retains its state, although it is completely hidden from the user.

In the Paused and Stopped states, the activity can be unloaded from memory. A situation may arise when the user, returning to the unloaded activity, would like to see it in the state in which he left it. This is possible if you call the onSaveInstanceState() method before unloading the activity, and call the onRestoreInstanceState() method when restoring or creating the activity. In this case, it is possible to save the current (at the time of unloading) activity state. Here we can draw an analogy with the hibernation mode in PC OS. Uncheck "Auto-recovery". Also, before a complete reset, you could uncheck the " Archive my settings", a message will appear that the application settings have been deleted from Google servers.
