Hello!!

Guys do you know how to reset the settings only on Xperia Z2?? I don't what anything to be erased or deleted permanently! Like in old Sony devices, you had a choice a hard reset and it will erase everything or just the settings na dnothing more

There should be factory settings reset, but that will remove everything unfortunately. You can try settings-apps-all, look for settings app and clear data. Let me know if this resets everything you have changed in settings.

Emm not really 😕 I try to change many settings Sound, screen... and many other settings.
I went to apps and i press ''Reset app preferences'' i think it was that you mean. Didn't change my settings to default 😕

No, not reset app preferences. Follow the steps exactly as I have told you.

@AlexMiG

You will have to repeat that on all the apps or just reset the device but create a backup

I see your point

In this case, only a software repair using PC Companion will help you.

Hi AlexMiG,

From memory there used to be a Settings reset within the Backup & reset section, however I believe it was removed from later android versions. You could always check as you may not be up to date yet.

Menu > Settings > Backup & reset > Settings Reset.

Otherwise follow through with there suggestions.
