Sorry Piizzadude, your advice was incorrect (at least on the i535 with ICS). A Factory reset cleared all the user data including pcitures and music. So, no thumbs up this time. With all due respect, your wife might be on to something:).
Happy Reindeer Season Greetings to all in DroidVille and peripheral Galaxies!
I thought it only appropriate to follow up with the details of the experience in solving this issue with what worked and what didn?t.
I will start first by extending my gratitude to the folks at AndroidCentral.com...
I have a unique situation with my Samsung S3 (SCH-i535). Verizon forced a OTA update that failed. The phone powers up but hangs at the 4G LTE expanding color rings and vibrates once in a while until the battery goes dead or pull it out.
The obvious solution is to brick-it ? except that there...
