Pixel 5 rushes into the restart loop on the go.To the situation where you reset all on the spot ... - mobile phone Watch

　It was the first day when an emergency declaration in one prefecture, including Tokyo, was lifted on March 22.The cherry blossoms would be just best, and I didn't intend to dinner with an unspecified number, so I went out to Asakusa.I enjoyed walking around the city while taking pictures, but when I took out Pixel 5 from my pocket on the road, an unfamiliar message was displayed on the screen."Android Recovery"?

　Continue is written in the red."I can't read the Android system. It may be damaged. If this message is continued, the data is initialized and all the user data stored in this device is erased.Sometimes it is necessary "

　No, I've been taking pictures until now, and I used Google Maps.Well, no, if you retry (restart), it would be cured.No matter how many times you restart, you will return to this warning screen.The same screen will be displayed even if you restart the power button for 30 seconds.

　The situation was the worst.The only smartphone you have is that pixe 5.The only family who was accompanied was feature phones that do not have a packet communication contract, so we will not collect information on the web search.

　I can't call.I don't remember the other person's phone number even if I call.LINE cannot be used.Facebook messenger cannot be used.The app does not start even if you want to set the QR code.It is suspicious that Otaifu -Keitai's Suica can be used.I was at a loss for almost an hour, but I had no choice but to do the "initialization of data".On the go, I couldn't find any public Wi-Fi around, so I set up the terminal.No, I want to cry.

　When "initialization of data" was executed from the warning screen, almost all data really disappeared.However, there were some exceptions, and the registration of ESIM did not disappear in this situation.Rakuten Mobile ESIM was registered in my Pixel 5, but if this had disappeared, it would have been a lot of trouble to have an activation QR code again issued.

　At first, this ESIM line was not connected well, but it was possible to communicate someday, probably because I tried it several times or because it has passed.Even without Wi-Fi, I was able to log in to Google Account alone with a mobile line and restore the backup data linked to the Google account.I consumed a packet nearly 8GB.

　The practical use of the restoration function was quite questionable, but at least the installation status of the app seems to be almost completely reproduced.However, when I started the app, I often needed re -login or required the necessary operation when changing the model.As far as I can remember, the MUJI application must enter the PIN code that I have prepared at the time of installation (there is a way to restore it through online shopping accounts or LINE cooperation).On the other hand, only the Marugame noodle app could not be restored.I wish I had issued a "model change code" in advance ...Ah, two of my Kashiwa Ten free tickets (crying).

　Yes, the order of the story changes, but be careful if you have set two -step authentication with the Google account.If there is only one smartphone on the spot, the route to obtain a one -time password during the initial set of the terminal will be greatly limited.Above all, you will not be notified of the app, and you may not be able to launch the "Google authentication system" application.

　In my case, I had to log in with the "backup code" that I put on my wallet as a paper memo.I printed it nearly 10 years ago, but it would be really a day to use it.

　About three weeks have passed since this turmoil, but there was no particular hardware upset, and there was no opportunity to reunite to the warning screen.I have no idea what was the cause of the trouble.Well, the trauma of "smartphone failure on the go" remained, but I will study everything and think that it is a good life experience.

　However, you may have to think about two smartphones.This time it was a recovery trouble, but it does not mean that there is no reason to forget it somewhere or drop a smartphone in the bonfire at the campsite in the mountains.Would you like to sign a 1GB small capacity SIM every month and put it on the bottom of your bag with your old smartphone?
