Hi,looking for some help please. The PDA has suddenly started to soft restart everytime the powerbutton is pressed, either to switch on or off. I can only get it to screen off on auto timed shut down. It will take incoming calls okay but if I press the on button to make a call it resets. Any ideas before I hard reset it? Last thing done was add a contact, no updates or the likes.
Had quick search for this but couldn't find an answer, for this problem just the jammed soft reset button which my has not got that works normally.
Thanks inadvance
Chris

Have you tried to switch it off by an application like ppcShutdown, to see if you have the same problem ?
Cheers,

Hi Dotfred, I haven't no. It will time off okay after 3 minutes of nil use. But have to press the powerswitch to turn back on. Then wait for soft reset function to run its course.
Do you have to use the powerswitch with ppc shutdown to 'switch' it back on?
I've been able to back everything up now so will try the hard reset see if that sorts it.
Any other thoughts would be appriecated
Many thanks

I was trying to find out if it was related to the switch off of the ppc or to the power button.
Since it seems this is purely related to the power button, I wonder if an installed prog has been assigned to the power button and so generates a soft reset. I think that your best choice is indeed a hard reset, because I really don't know if there is an easy way to find out what's happening with the power button.
Cheers,

There is no timing...
Just press and hold comm. button and the voicedial button.
Than put your stylus for one sec on the reset hole and still hold the 2 buttons mentioned above.
Than the phone will boot and you will see a screen asking you to press the (green) send button to hardreset.

i had the same problem with hard reset yesterday (my first hard reset ever . after a few tries i found that most proper way to hard reset device is:
1) press & hold comm button + voice dial button
2) press reset button (while holding buttons mentioned above)
3) KEEP HOLDING comm & voice dial buttons
4) after a while hard reset is done, so we can release all buttons
big thx eva_d!
arrggh!
This has been the best forum i have come accross. My phone function ends up as being a blank in the task manager and i constantly by mistake quit i while i am trying to quit something else. a proper pain...
I am tryin to hard reset the phone so i can set it up in corporate mode...i just seem to be completely unableto get it...i have been trying to hold the two buttons and press reset while still holding the two buttons....five minutes later still nothing....arrgh. Any solutions.... :shock:
This is from the manual:
To perform a hard reset
1. Press and hold the Comm Manager button and Voice Command
button on the device.
2. Keep the two buttons pressed, and at the same time, use the
stylus to lightly press and hold the RESET button.

it is frustrating at first but it is easier with practice. in my experience i released the stylus after about 5 secs and i was prompted with a question if I wanted to format the device [hit send button to start]
Do you really need hard reset?
Did you try clear storage?
Some times it is enough to clear your phone...
If you're feeling generous, can you try hardreset using VJEschaton?
I've never tested it on WM5 hardware, I haven't had a good reason to hardreset yet.

VJEshscaton now works on the Wizard, although I think there are easier ways to reset our phones Eg, using them!

hey guys, please help me...i bought imate jam used one form some of my frnd...now i want to hard reset ...can anyone tell me how can i do that...and one more thing lets say i hard reset it, will it setup automatically or do i have to put everything on my behalf....please help me....
Push the bottom button and quickly hold the Power button
If that doesn't work, try the other buttons. I think it is the power button.
It will setup and runs nicely as a phone. No worries.
Yup,
Its the power button. Hold your power button and soft-rest your device for a Hard reset. Yu will then be prompted with a screen saying your device will be customized automatically in 3secs. If you want to save space, skip that by a soft-reset again.

Carty..
any ideas to really shutdown this device?
without remove the battery

Hi,
press the call, end call, power on button and the soft reset button at the same time for about 5-10sec. that will do.

Freddy

please, any ideas?
nope, as far as i know it is impossible. when i need to shut down device completely i remove the battery and put it back again. and i dont touch any button, because i do, device starts.
I'm happy with my new Jade so need to sell my Wizard, so what's the best way to delete all my settings, installed programs, history, etc?
Do a hard reset to eliminate all input. The unit will now be as received when first purchased.
So to hard reset I:
"Hold the comm manager button and the voice command button at the same time. While holding these push the soft reset button. Keep your fingers on the Comm and voice Manager button. After about five seconds a screen will appear asking you to press the green send button."
Just to confirm if I do this no one can retrieve any of my settings?
A hard reset will work. To be completely clean, especially if you have a custom cooked ROM, I'd consider reflashing the device with a factory default ROM just to make 100% sure.

After a hard reset, no one can access any of your settings. If you have installed a custom ROM, it will still be there, but without any of your input.
Thanks, that looks like it worked. All I need to do now is find the manual and get it on eBay.
