Re: Why are my media & ring volumes muted after receiving a Bluetooth phone call? Same here. Vodafone smart prime 6 vf-895n on android 5.0.2. Pressing the volume rocker switch, the icon is a handset rather than a bell, and "none - priority - all" is missing. Only a reboot will fix it.

It is a bit unclear to me what a factory reset will do and what will not do. I guess this "The Android version is restored to the shipped version and all updates are uninstalled" quoted here: Complete Guide to Resetting Your Android Phone | Cricket Wireless is not true then.

Ok. So if I need to revert back before OTA, I need to manually install previous ROM using Odin? Will that advance my flash counter, so that warranty is void? If yes, how do I get back to "out of the box" state? Also, if I root the phone (keep stock ROM), will I go back to "out of the box"...

When I bought it, my device was at android 4.0.4 and after an OTA it was updated to 4.1.2. If I do a factory reset, will I go back to 4.0.4? Thx

SOLVED! At the sim pin request screen, press and hold power button, enable "Airplane mode" DONE.

If I take the SIM out, the device will boot and give me access to contents, (obviously, phone is off). BUT if SIM is in, I cannot get past the pin input screen, and this is exactly what I want to do. I want to be able to give the device to my son to i.e. read a pdf, but I do not want him to be...

Perhaps you wanted to install or move apps to sd card, which you CANNOT do on stock ICS and JB. So you used: adb shell pm set-install-location 2 and left it there. For your updates to install correctly, undo the above by: adb shell pm set-install-location 0
