there are 2 other method to reset this phone. it can be done if you can enter the android menu here the step:

1. go to setting~>privacy~> factory data reset.

OR

2. dial *2767*3855#

all of this method will make the same effect to your phone: -“reset your phone to factory setting”

please comment what application that make you phone hang?
this app maybe make my phone hang:
-titan backup pro maybe coz it want to access root
-yahoo messenger 1.3.2 maybe coz it want to online at startup

Although there are some bug in this phone but many of my friend had buy this phone after see i use it. Maybe i have to change profession to mobile phone seller….hehheh… Hope Samsung issue the update for this phone.

Update may 2011:
After reading an article in web i found there is a post about update galaxy ace to gingerbread and tutorial to root this phone. this link will show you that ace has many firmware.if you think that there are soo many bug in you device maybe this tutorial will be the solution.here is the link:

  3. golly Says:

    my phone keep on vibrate even there’s no application is running. couldnt access any menu so i did dial the *2767*3855#

    Voila, it worked out. Many thanks but my datas are gone, but it worked.

  4. jDc Says:

    i have galaxy ace phone and the touchscreen is malfunctioning.
    i’ve tried to reset it to its factory setting(settings-privacy-factory data reset)
    but then the problem is still there..it taps keys or menus all by itself..then it becomes unresponsive after i press the power button it is okay again then after a several seconds it does crazy things again..do you think it is infected by virus??
    i have downloaded apps from the internet

    • tinjaugadget Says:

      Hmmm. If it a virus maybe u can install AVG to scan your system. Or try to unplug your sd card coz maybe it corrupt. If problem still persistent just bring it to the service center.

  5. Amit Maheshwari Says:

    I have Idea Prepaid connection in Gujarat. The GPRS settings are activated and I am able to surf net through the preinstalled browser and also able to use the Samsung apps (e-mail & IM).

    However, I am not able to create my account for Android Market and other google apps (Gmail, Gtalk, etc.). Even the News & Weather app is not working. The error says

    “Can`t establish a reliable data connection to the server. This could be a temporary problem or your phone may not be provisioned for data services.”

    I tried manually changing the APN settings, but even that has not worked for me. Infact, after changing the APN setting, the phone is showing ‘E’ over the GPRS symbol.

    Please help.

    • tinjaugadget Says:

      To check ur operator blocking just try with another provider card.
      To check ur account make sure u able to open gmail and login to android market from pc browser.
      Disable: use 2g check mark in network setting. Make sure u have 3 or H connection. G and E, is a bad connection.
      enable the auto sycn in settin. And u can enter ur gmail account in there. Just try it. Hope it work.

    […] Karena waktu sudah mepet, maka lupakan saja kejadian itu, nanti pulang kerja di cari solusinya. Ketika di parkiran, saya sempatkan browsing dengan Nokia 6120c, untuk mencari solusinya. Ternyata nemu artikel ini. […]

    • tinjaugadget Says:

      Ooo. Lucky to you. You still have a realiabel nokia phone as backup. Just wait the gingerbread maybe all bug will fixed. Gsmarena.com has post new about the ace update.

      • tinjaugadget Says:

        Maybe your tw louncher conflic with dolphin. I use dolphin and it work very well. Reset dengan power dan menu saat hp dalam kondisi mati PASTI berhasil. Belum ada sejarah gagal. Mesti anda ada kesalahan prosedur.

  12. visnu Says:

    My Ace was experiencing error, dunno what caused it. So I tried hard reset. After hard reset, it can’t install any application. Do you have a solution?

    • tinjaugadget Says:

      Seem your memory card or aplication corrupt. try to reset it again and format your mic sd card and try to download small size aplication from android market. Hope it work.

  13. Ujjwal Kanth Says:

    Thanks dude, you are a life saver. used the number dialing method to reset the phone. Thanks

  14. saransh Says:

    how do we backup all contacts and messages to our memory card before hard resetting it?

  15. saransh Says:

    i actually want to remove my current gmail account because i want to use another one..and it automatically uses the first one and it is so irritating..
    it says i have to restore factory settings but i’d lose all contacts and messages and other data..please help!
    thanks! 🙂

    • tinjaugadget Says:

      Go to phone book~press left[beside menu botton] Just export your contact to memory card. After reset you can import it back to your phonebook. Export to sd card will make single file only. I never try to backup messege. Maybe you can forward to another phone or copy to text file. Hmmm…. I dont know if account cant be change. Have u try change account in setting~ account and sync~manage account. I think it should accept account change without problem.

  16. patrick Says:

    Thank you very much. Your instructions were very helpful.

    God Bless

  17. ninetski Says:

    Thank you so much!

    I installed an expense tracker apps but had to uninstall. THEN the messaging icon in the lower portion (call – contact – messaging – applications) just disappeared. I’m miles away from home and no way to go to any service center here.

    You saved me from stress 🙂

  18. galaxy ACE Says:

    my galaxy ace has become very slow ….. what should i do ???? i cant reset my phone coz i 1500 contacts

    • tinjaugadget Says:

      Yes you can. Just export your contact to sd card and sent it to your pc or email. After reset you can import it back. Go to you phone book the menu is in there. Read my previous comment for the step.

    my samsung galaxy ace stops after the 2nd samsung logo. it stops there and vibrates. i did your procedures and wiped everything and reboot it but nothing happened. HELP! 😦

    • tinjaugadget Says:

      Dont panic. Have you select ok to process the reboot? Do the battery power is enough? Have u release the battry for 1 minuete? Have u repeat the procedure because it sometime need a long time to respond and sometime it not respond at all. Just do it again and follow the step carefully. Most off people can do it without problem.

    • tinjaugadget Says:

      Hmmm i never got that problem.. Maybe there is problem with account and sync. Try to log out and log in again. Or change your simcard first than put back your again. Or try connect to a wifii to.open android market. Maybe it will solve the problem.

      Release the battery. Try again to push and hold untill you enter the recovery mode. As long as the phone can boot this step may be work unless there is a hardware failure which only can be solve by going to service center.

  39. dila saji Says:

    u know, i bought this galaxy ace phone today because i was pissed at my last handphone which was samsung wave 575. Well, i actually bought this prepaid broadband (maxis) to use the internet. The problem is, i can’t seem to connect to the internet, i have tried dialing *100# to check the balance of rm25 that i bought last night. And to add up to my anger, the service is unavailable. So it’s either maxis or i’m the one who doesn’t know how to configure my handphone. Is there any chance u can help me?

    • tinjaugadget Says:

      Well. U must check the access point in setting. See your operator website. Or download and install aplication “apn manager”. Then if you have working connection u will see a 3g or h or e or g icon near the signal. Beside that there will be up arrow with green light mean upload and down arrow with red light mean download. If no red light it mean u cant go online.

  43. Dila Saji Says:

    u left one thing behind. The hard reset can only be done when the phone is off.
    I’ve been pressing the menu and off button while the phone was on. And i’m thinking what the hell? now i got it.
    thanks anyway.

  44. Harsh Patodia Says:

      Hehe. Just retry it. In my phone download mode only take few minute. Or you want take a risk by using manual update: odin.

      • cjax Says:

        Hi. I actually got a problem when my APN was activated by my service provider. My network connection became so slow that the former H is no longer appearing its just always E. Then since i am so desperate to get it back to normal, i followed your advise, so i did hard set and nothing has really changed. Now all my apps are gone and didn’t improve my connection. Can you just please tell me how to delete or deactivate APN? So the letter H icon would return again. Thanks will wait for your response.

      • tinjaugadget Says:

        Please make sure u dont check the tickmark ‘in use 2g only’ in setting network. Maybe the problem in your network provider, why dont you try another operator.

      • tinjaugadget Says:

        I cant delete the apn. but u can change the parameter manually in apn setting. Or create new apn, but i afraid when you restart it will back to default.

    Hi!!! Mine suddenly just forze, so I did what I usually do with my other phone, got out the battery and waited for a bit. But then the samsung logo just kept going on and on. So I just did exactly as you described and the problem continues. It keeps repeating the samsung logo again and again. Got any Ideas??

  78. Premek Says:

    I tried to restore the phone as you suggested. No succes… Initial logo is displayed and then it just switches off. Maybe I am just puzzled by direction: “Hold Menu key” – on my phone it is not really key, but part of touch screen. I also tried Home key (that real key..), but it did not work either.

    • Premek Says:

      I figured it out. However. it doesn’t help 😦 Adter Data wipe complete, it says E: failed to mount /data Invalid argument. Especially my PC doesn’t see the phone – althought I do have teh right drivers…

      • tinjaugadget Says:

        what u do with your phone? it just hang or hang after you modify?
        what kind of update u use?

        have u use odin for manual update?

        maybe problem is your software in computer?

        if there are a corrupt file in phone master file- it is the time for u to bring it to service center.
