  21. 1.
    What is safest and best method to backup my phone before I Hardset? I use KIES Lite but I should I use backup through the settings on the phone?

    2.
    Do I take out SIM card to hardset phone or do I leave it in?

    3.
    Do you know why I can no longer access Google Account, Google Play, Maps and other Apps attached to Google? It tells me I have no connection but I do have a connection through my mobile date and I can surf internet etc without problems.

    I have tried ALL the solutions on forums except Hardset and Root the phone. It seems many people have the same problem and Rooting and Hardsetting doesn’t seem to solve all cases.

    Can it be that my Samsung Advance is too old now (Android 4.1.2)?

    Could it be that my provider does not give enough mobile data or isn’t secure enough? I have called them but they couldn’t help.

    I have had this problem a few times and I was able to solve it by deleting google account, and adding new account etc. but this time nothing works.

    4.
    In regards to screen lock: I cannot remove the screen lock on my phone anymore after installing a GIAG2.CRT file that a friend sent me. He thought the file would correct the problem I have in accessing my Google account, Google Play etc. Is there a way to delete this GIAG2.CRT file? Or is there a way to remove Locked Screen without Hardsetting? I don’t need a Locked Screen.

    Thanks for a great site.

    • Hi, we will try to answer one by one according to what we can:
      1. There are many backup options that you can do, first backup manually one by one base by the applications like Whatsapp, Line Messenger and some other more. Some cloud applications like social media Facebook, Instagram, Google+, Telegram and something like that do not need to backup manually, because they will load the content automatically once we are connect to Internet. Samsung also have backup procedure, but better if you also do several backup to make sure your backup data are not corrupt. Contact will be backup automatically at Google server, but you need to make sure from your Google account open by browser from other computer.

      2. You can leave your Simcard provider at that location, but if you have external microsd memory, then we suggest to remove first from your Samsung Galaxy S Advance.

      3. Well, first you have to try login using computer Internet browser, and login to your Google account to make sure your password is correct. If you can login, then maybe the problems comes from your phone and need to do hard reset to reformat your Samsung Galaxy phone operating system to factory default.

      4. Sorry, we never try to install GIAG2.CRT. Therefore we can not have any good answer for this question.

      Reply
    • Hi, first you have to make sure the setting network of wifi is active at your Samsung Galaxy S. You also have to find out whether there are some battery saving applications installed, because sometime it will block some connection for battery saving, you need to uninstall that kind of apps. If still can not work, then please consider to backup all data and do hard reset to master format your Samsung Galaxy S Advance operating system to factory default.
