Hi,
I just did my first hard reset yesterday, and now I'm stuck with a 16 key software keyboard, even though my hardware is 16 key. Anyone seen this before? Anyone know how to get around it?
I even did an extra hard reset, and it's like that default...

can anyone tell me if the registry is reset when a hard reset is performed? for a while my phone has been running incredibly slow and no number of hard resets has fixed it
when you hard reset, it put everything back to how it was!
hmm
it doesn't seem to be doing that, i installed zagat to go on my wizard the other week as did a couple of people i know, it's made all of the devices crash constantly and no number of hard resets are fixing it
How are you "hard reseting"? If by using the stylus in the reset hole then that's a soft reset. A hard reset is performed by holding Record and Camera buttons and reseting with the stylus, then pressing the Send button when instructed to format. You can also "Clear Storage" from Settings\System. You will lose all settings and have to start all over.
i've been doing a true hard reset. i've found the issue now, the software that was causing the problem seems to install something or change the registry settings when connected to the pc even if you don't install the software itself.
i'd recommend to everyone to avoid zagat to go like the plague
Zagat OK
I've been using Zagat for six months without trouble. I have it installed on the miniSD and have about 30 cities. Zagat isn't nearly as useful as Vindigo, but Zagat operates fine. It doesn't have a program running on my PC so there is no mechanism by which the PC could be changing the registry of my MDA through activesync.
recently my 8525 has been resetting when I slide out the keyboard. It usually takes a few seconds. But after i slide out the keyboard, my screen dims out then the phone resets. Any solutions
just for curiosity, but does the screen rotate??
personally, I'd just do a hard reset and if that doesn't fix it, back to Cingular it goes
I'd be inclined to do a hard reset as well, I might first think about whether I'd installed any new applications and remove them to see if this had any effect. Sometimes you find very strange behaviour - I installed a clock application that I discovered was preventing me from opening the camera application!!
If your still in warranty, get the hard reset done in good time - if the problem persists after that get it back to the supplier. I think though in this case the reset should work fine.

I've searched the thread but can't seem to find anyone with a similer problem.
all of suuden I can no longer do soft reset by stylus the button seems to be working it's not stuck or loose but no soft reset, the only way I can do soft reset is by means of software i.e SPB mobile shell etc.. but this way I can't do hard reset if the soft reset doesnt work by stylus!
I'm assuming it's hardware problem because I've flashed my phone twice just to make sure it's not a ROM issue. Now before I disect my device just see if there is a contact problem where the reset button is placed inside, has anyone come across this issue?
Have not seen this reported previously could be a simple re-solder job?

My GF's phone has a strange fault. After windows crashed she plugged it into the charger and the hard reset screen came up saying this will erase all your personal data etc.
No matter what I do I cannot get rid of this screen. Pressing enter does not complete the hard reset and attempting a hard reset has no effect. Soft reset has no effect either.
The phone has the official HTC wm6.1 update on it but i cannot get it to display exactly what rom's it has unfortunatley.
Has anyone had this problem or know how to fix it?
For some reason, whenever I try to do a hard reset, my tytn only does a soft reset.
That is, after pressing and holding the Left SOFT KEY and Right SOFT KEY, and at the same time, using the stylus to press the RESET button at the bottom of my tytn, I was NOT presented with a menu saying 'press R to reset, X to exit'. Instead, my tytn just reboots just as if I only pressed the RESET button alone.
Device details:
Hermes 200
IPL-1.04
SPL-2.10.Olipro
Flashed ROMs:
Stock ATT 6.1
FCW's 6.5 Stock-like ROM (D 3.62 by Josh)
I'm baffled at why there's no reaction to the hard reset. My searches not only did not yield any threads of issue resolution, but it also didn't yield any people having this similar problem.
As I purchased the phone off the black-market several years ago, I suspect that it could be because of some poor modified low-level firmware that was flashed before I bought it.
Any thoughts?
Is there anyway to do a hard reset via software, and not through the normal hard reset procedure? Or is there firmware that I can flash that contains the hard reset functionality?
Many thanks in advance!
assuming both your softkeys are working yes? To hard reset via software, run 'clear storage' from system settings.
Many thanks Macelius. Clear Storage did just the trick.
Additionally, since you brought it up, I think that my Left SOFT KEY may be starting to fail. It works roughly 1 out of 4 presses, so I thought it still worked but was not responsive because of laggy software.
Though of the 5-6 times I tried to Hard Reset, I guess the Left SOFT KEY didn't work once.
Thanks again Macelius. Good stuff.
