Morning All,
I am having a few problems...
How do you do a hard reset? I returned a buggy one to O2 yesterday and get a new one plus I wanted to take advantage of the £50 trade in deal. I didn't hard reset coz I couldn't and I now have O2 active UI on this new one which I do not want to use and the only way I think I can turn it off is by resetting and starting again and using a different profile. Also anyone who has taken advantage of the trade in deal, please advise if you got the trade in value in store or you are being sent a cheque. As I am being sent a cheque!!!
Many thanks
mini hard reset
.... to do a hard reset on the XDA Mini S:
Hold "Comm Manager" button (top left side) and "Voice Command" button (top right side) down together and simultaneously press the reset button (middle right side)
I used an upgrade to get my XDA Mini; so didn't do the trade-in. At first I was quoted £150 to upgrade; but after a bit of haggling I managed to persuade the O2 shop to do the upgrade for free; which was more appealing price.
Thanks for that.
I have tried that reset method worked once but now doesn't work now and I really want to get rid of the O2 Active UI.
Cheers
No, really, it does work - try again, and note that you have to hold em down for a while until the text appears. See the wiki.
Hello,
I have an XDA Neo from O2 Germany and I have problems with the hardware buttons. The soft key button doesn't work anymore, the start button activates the start menu only after a few pushes. The problem appeared a week ago. The funny thing is, I had similar problems with my XDA Mini S 4 months ago. I'm using the Dopod WWE ROM from the crossvendor thread below. I reinstalled it but nothing helps. And when I was having the problems with the Mini S, I hadn't changed the OS. Is there anything that can be done? Is it indoubtedly a hardware problem?
Hm... it seems that it's because of some dust underneath. If I push the buttons stronger, they work. Is there an easy way to open the device and clean it?
P.S. Still, the Green (dial) button doesn't work at all
Hi,
I've managed to kill my Orbit 2! Everytime it starts up it gets as far as the Windows Mobile splash screen then shows the volumn control (both levels turned down) but goes no further. The power button still turns the screen on and off and the screen still dims after a while with any key bringing it back to full brightness, but nothing happens!
Has anyone else had this problem?
Also, I've looked in the forums, but can't find details anywhere of how to hard reset this phone! The only instructions I've found relate to non-existent buttons!
http://www.hardreset.eu/htc_touch_cruise_polaris_hard_reset_soft_reset.html
Can anyone shed any light on why this is happening or how to hard reset!
Thanks in advance,
Nick
it is the bottom two buttons (below the answer & hang up) and the stylus for a soft reset.
When it asks for a confirmation hit the green answer button
Hope this helps
Thanks NC35 - that did the trick!
Luckily I backed it up on Sunday so shouldn't have lost too much!
Thanks
Having tried ( now three times with no help ever) to speak to O2 and ask how to hard reset following the start menu completely failing..... I was told it was "impossible" you will need to return it and use the "28 day" repair service.....
I have at last managed to restore - thanks to this posting!!
No comes the reseting process - which is a bit of a bore!!
O2 seem to have dispensed with any actual tech support at all!!

The procedure of performing hard reset is perfectly explained in the manual that comes with the phone. "hard reset" is included in the index of this manual, so it takes only a couple of minutes to find out what you have to do.
After all, RTFM ;-)

NP. Glad you got your problem sorted
Having looked all over for a couple of days
I came across a picture with instructions for
hard resetting a wizard, which is resetting the phone
thus the phone lock as well.
Dead easy really
1. Press the Comm Manager button (top left)
together with the Voice Activation button (top right)
for 2 seconds.
2. Keep holding the 2 buttons above and press the soft reset
(middle right little hole) with the stylus for another 2 seconds.
3. When the black screen appears it'll ask you to click Send
That's it All done !!
The wizard's going to reboot and reset himself.
Hope this is going to help some of you.
This is called 'Hard Reset' and perhaps its known to almost every wizard owner,its supposed to be known though !!!
Anyways ! thanz for the info!
ATENTION PLEASE... Thanks.

Hi all,
I have had this bothering be even in the days when I used WinMob 6.5. Anything I have change battery, I will have carry out soft reset from the reset button behind before it powers on.
Can any assist in solving this problem for me?

I'm sorry, but I was not able to understand your question.
Are you asking what the soft reset button is for?
