Under File Manager, we have a bookmark ‘ Secure storage ‘
For this, I set a password.THE PASSWORD UNLOCKS STORAGE.
When it is in unlocked state, I can transfer files from internal memory to SD card. But in the locked condition, it does not allow file transfer. Every time I have to type password. So I want to delete password. It seems that there is no provision for deleting or changing password in Yuphoria. Could you please guide me.

Hi Alpesh,
I want to do factory reset, as suggested by you i tried both but failed.
My ”Setting” not opening and crashes, it says something like ”Unfortunately, ….” , so no soft reset option.
then i tried hard reset with VolUP+Power+VolDown and waited for YU logo, but it boots normally and does not show me desired screen to select ” Wipe data / factory reset ”.
I tried it 10 times again and again, but failed.
Might be due to some malware.
Kindly Assist.

Am facing a strange problem in Yuphoria. Whenever i switch the phone from idle, it immediately opens browser with some web address called….www. measurementtapi .com and then it opens google app and asks for an update. This is frequently occurring and it is highly irritating. Am not sure whats wrong and how to rectify. I tried scanning for virus. But no improvement. Please suggest
Iam facing problem with my phone…. It power off again and again after usage of 10 to 15 min max…. even if the charging is full or enough to be operated… even whn the charging is 90 or 80 percent… i have factory reset my phone as well but the problem prevails what should i do now?
Try installing Stock Firmware on Yuphoria from here. Before installing make sure to boot your device into Fastboot Mode and keep it like that for 15-20 minutes, just to check if it turns off automatically after sometime or not. If it powers off automatically after sometime then we don’t recommend you to proceed with the installation process, as it might lead to the improper or partial installation, which bricks your device. In this case we recommend you to reach out to the YU Care.
I factory reset my phone last night but as i told the problem was still there.. And now my phone is not even switching ON… How can I go with the Fastboot Mode Now? Has it got something to do with the battery.. should it be changed? 🙁
