First thing, if the phone is continually restarting, I think you might have a stuck or broken power button.

If it is a hardware problem, then a factory reset will not fix it. That said, a factory reset SHOULD not do anything to your user files stored internally. What it will do is remove any installed apps and wipe all user account data.

Even so, I would make sure you have tried to backup as much or your files as possible.

hay

This is me ...the same person ask up
but after regesteration here


sorry

 

[lunatic59]

Not a problem at all. I'll move this over to the Galaxy S2 (Intl.) forum.

And Welcome to Android Forums.

well..
1st..thanx for fast replay..realy

i used to storage everything weekly
but on these last 3weeks i was in a course n didnt have time to do it
my important part is galary with everything
i dont care about the apps n other issues coze i can redownload them any time



so...??

 

[lunatic59]

I would still try and back everything up to a PC before resetting, even though you files shouldn't be affected.

On the chance it is a service or app that is making your phone restart, then a factory reset would fix it. However, if it is a hardware problem and your phone tries to restart itself in the middle of the reset process, it could render your phone completely unusable (bricked). In that case, you're photos most likely will be lost.

aaaaaaaaaaaaaa!!!!!!!!!!!



so there is no programe or way i can use it to transfer anything from it to pc before i do the rest factory???

 

[Omania85]

i will wait ..maybe u can find a solution



i hope
i hope
i hope

Which version of Android do you have? (under menu>settings>about phone)

And ... does the phone reboot every time you plug in the USB cable regardless of whether you start Kies or not?

 

[Omania85]

i cant open or see even the menu part
its restarting immediatly
so i dont know which verion

and about reporting..ya..when its on
but now cant
coze itz all the time restarting

 

[Omania85]

oh
u mean rebooting...well...i dont know!!!!!!!

 

[lunatic59]

That really sounds like the power button is stuck in the "pressed" state. If you're lucky it's just stuck from dirt. Try pressing it rapidly a few times and see if you can get it to stop rebooting. If not, I'm afraid you'll need to get it repaired.

 

[Omania85]

its not dirt...its clean
but if u mean inside n electronic dirt..well..in that case..i dont know


and how i repair it?
by format only?

 

[Omania85]

am scared that opening and off all the time will burn it from inside
thats y am not on it
just in need


u know the steps of the opening on galaxy s2
1st the blue squairs flying
then the letter S shows
then it restart again to the blue flying squairs

nth to use at all

 

[lunatic59]

and how i repair it?
by format only?

If it's a faulty button, then formatting or resetting won't help. You need to get the button replaced.

itz working v.well
itz not the problem

 

[lunatic59]

At this point a factory reset would be the only option you could try if it's not booting.

 

[Omania85]

....k....

[Omania85]

yaaaaaaaaaaaaaa
am sooooo happy




yaaay

 

[lunatic59]

You might want to think about backing up those files now, just in case. If you sync your contacts to Google (not sure if you have access to that in your country) once you reset, they will sync back to your phone.

 

[Omania85]

i saved them imediattly
loooooool




i have a google account
but not with cotact numbers
but itz k i have them here
