Connect phone to pc. Open up device manager. Find the ace (might be in unknown devices or under usb storage). Right click and uninstall drivers. Remove the ace and connect it again. It will be recognized as a new device. Let windows update install the required drivers. You are done.

If nothing works, a wipe data/factory reset might be needed to be done. After that you could try changing baseband, or flashing a stock custom ROM and then checking if the issues persist.

A problem

Hello there, I am a newbie in this forum. Last few day I flashed my S5830 with SGSII JB ROM v10.1 and it works well. I love the ROM a lot.

However, today I have found out that, every time after i reboot my phone, some settings of my apps are gone. First problem is the launcher, I am using Go launcher all the while and I set it as default launcher, but after reboot the default setting is gone and I have to set it as default again, every time after reboot.

Second problem I found is the setting of my 3rd party messaging app, the settings in the app are all being reset back to default state, meaning the settings set by me are all gone, again, same thing happens every time after I reboot the phone.

I thought it might be the bug of the ROM, but i looked through ROM thread and seem that nobody mentioned about it, so I am curious why this happens.

Anyone can help out? Thanks.

Wow, glad I found this thread! :D

Just wanna ask. I have two sd-card. The first one is class 4, and the other one I don't know which class because there isn't any number in this card.

Then, I tested the read speed of both card using app 'SD Tools'. the first card write speed is 13.5MB/s, read speed is 13.3 MB/s. The other's write speed is lower, 7.5Mb/s. But the read speed is far above, 23.7MB/s. see attachments.

My question is which one should I use. I'm usually make an ext4 partition and link my apps with link2sd.

You get that so called "cwm app" after flashing the zip above. It doesn't come pre-installed. Do this to check. When you are on stock rom, right after flashing that zip, go ahead & check in app drawer. You must see the cwm. But you need superuser to open it anyway.

By the way, it seems like it wasn't an SD card or a Link2SD problem.

I installed DroidAce 3 with Int2EXT script and a brand new SD, but the problem came back.

I've understood that the problem started as soon as i restored something with Titanium Backup. I haven't been able to understand exactly what was that "something". The problem came back when i restored a couple of apps or when i restored some system settings.

After i restored anything with Titanium, i reeboted and the problem came back, forcing me to wipe and reinstall the ROM again.

I solved like this: i had to reinstall all the apps from Play and re-configure everything from zero.

A week has passed and everything seems working fine so far.

First, sorry it took me so long to get back on this. She bought a new phone and gave it to me to try & figure out because I'm a geek.

Oooooooooooooooooooookay. So this phone isn't really a legit samsung. It's a Hengxun COPY/lookalike of the 5830. I looked at the "About Phone" section and found the model number is "HENGXUN", which looked suspicious. Google helped from there. Since she's on her new phone now, I did a phactory reset. Still no gmail/play store. Er... wut? It's got android 2.3.6, at least according to the "About Phone" section in settings.

I have gmail and google play market installed (latest versions), but it still does the same thing. I think the "QQSecurity" program (which I mistook for McAfee because it has a shield with a big M on it) is blocking it. Problem is that the program is entirely in Chinese and is a system app, so there's no uninstalling it.

Anyway, since this isn't a real galaxy Ace, I'll not fill up this thread anymore. I'll try to figure out if there's a way to root it and uninstall some of the crap taking up space & blocking the true functionality of the phone. If I get it rooted, I'll install Link2SD and remove some apps & make a few apps (like the Play Market) into system apps.
