Frank,
Earth to Rudy: In that quote, I say "including me pointing to
the specific part of J�rg's reference.", so I *pointed to* J�rg's
reference and the hence the 'proof' you're looking for is *in that
reference*, *not* in *my* text. Capice?
Ah, gotyou. So your "including me *pointing to the specific part* of J�rg's
reference." (bolding mine) is, and has been a lie. I capice.
No wonder you have not quoted it as proof that you did...
So again, show me where you told me where you told me that I should
use a particular physical button combination to get at that "hard reset"
>
Indirectly in that/my article (and later several times directly).
Thats the whole thing, is it. You, with your 20-20 vision noticing
something you already knew (or strongly suspected) that would be there,
expecting that I, who knew nothing about that "secret" method, would notice
the same.
Also, feel free to point out which of those "and later several times
directly" came *before* my post about not being able to get at that "'Hard
reset' ('Wipe data/factory reset')" option.
Don't blame me if you can't/won't/don't/<whatever> follow
references/ directions.
So, you think its in any way honest to expect someone to just go read
*everything* without even knowing what he should be looking for. Capice.
I don't owe you anything. If anything, you owe me/us an apology for
acting like an ungrateful, obnoxious, pompous twat.
You claim, you owe. That is how it works.
And what should I be grateful for ? For your claims of help where you
cannot even quote how you did so ? That kind of "help" ?
Grateful for someone who tries to tells me that I should alsways
second-guess someones instructions and am obliged to go on a wild goose
chase every time ? I don't think so.
As for being "obnoxious and pompous" ? Your one-star rathing doesn't even
make a dent in my overal rating I'm afraid.
Start with realizing that you might have knowledge others (I) do not, and
that you need to be clear about what you want the other to know.
But, because I don't understand you don't get it, I read "that
message of yours to jorg" again and the 'proof' you demand is of
course there. In the very first paragraph, with your name in it.
>
And to be clear, because you keep snipping the MIDs which I gave and I
gave serveral MIDs in my responses to you, "that message of yours to
jorg" is still, what it always was:
Sigh.
"If unlinking the phone from the ex-user's Google Account " ...
That isn't talking about secret button combinations.
"Yes, smartphones have some 'theft protection'"
That isn't either
"Of course the disadvantage of a 'factory reset' is"
Nor that.
"[1] I once did an 'Android Recovery' -> 'Wipe data/factory reset'"
Nor that.
You said ?
Message-ID: [snip]

And please, don't snip it this time.
As someone recently said to me, I don't owe you anything.
Besides, I assume that the people here in this newsgroup, perhaps besides
you, are smart enough to realize that, if they are interrested in what was
said before, they can just take a peek at the parent post (and the rest of
the (sub)thread if they like).
And as another besides, I have no idea why you keep using the MID, instead
of posting the UTC datetime of the post (also in the headers). For
instance, my newsgroup reader doesn't expose MIDs, and has no way to search
for them. It does sort the messages on date/time though.
You need to release them when the desired (i.e. Recovery)
screen appears.
:-) You have no idea which button combination I need to use, but you are
sure about that ?
As mentioned before, I see a *lot* of possible usages of the buttons,
including having to *press* them (and than release them?) at a certain
moments.
Also, as a result(?) of having tried different combinations the phone twice
made a photo, and once started in "safe mode". Never been able to repeat
either of them though.
Frank, I think its quite clear I don't trust you (anymore), and you don't
like me either. Lets not talk again.
Goodbye.
Regards,
Rudy Wieser
