I enjoy helping people customize, improve, and fix up the
little quirks and options of their Android phones and tablets. Heck, I wrote a book about Android that’s full of that.
But sometimes there is something so wrong with an Android that it just
barely works, or not at all. For those problems, I usually suggest a few
step-by-step measures. I thought it might be helpful to those looking
for help on rescuing, resetting, or troubleshooting their own
problematic Android devices.
This flowchart starts you
out at my most common two-part question: is it the phone itself, the
whole system, that’s giving you grief? Or do you have an inkling that
it’s one part of the phone that’s misbehaving? From there, you launch
into the three-part process for diagnosing problematic apps, or straight
into testing in Safe Mode, backing up your stuff, and getting into a
Factory Reset for your phone.
The image of how I usually suggest this works is included here.
No flowchart could ever contain every Android phone and their every
possible problem, but I’m open to suggestions for changes and additions.
