  6. If I hard reset with *2767*3855# , will it be “clean” Android operating system, with ChatON and other unnecessary Samsung applications not seen anymore or those Samsung applications still existing?

    Reply
    • Hi, hard reset will clean all new installed applications, but the factory default applications will still available because they are already included at every Samsung Galaxy Pocket Plus operating system file source, therefore you will still find that Samsung application after hard reset. If you want to remove that native factory default applications, you have to root your phone first, but we are not recommended to do that if you are not sure how to do root.

    My wife uses the Samsung Galaxy Pocket Plus GT-S5301. It’s worked well, till recently, when suddenly when making calls using WhatsApp Call to the one person they can hear her, but to another her voice comes through in grunts or not at all
    This has happened since Vodacom put LTE on her phone at the end of June 2018. Vodacom says they have removed LTE, BUT the problem remains, namely intermittent voice on, then off…
    Can this be fixed. It has worked well for the last 5 plus years.
    Thank You,
    Lionel.
