it takes like a year to get to clock settings to set an alarm. text messages i can only see one line but if i slide the keyboard shut the line will be visible and i can reopen it and write another line. what is going on? i've had the phone since late september, is it just time for a hard reset or what?
I would try a hard reset with those problems.
okay. can anyone tell me what precautions i need to take before a hard reset? will i need to write all my numbers down or will i just be able to sync them back on? will my myfavs stay? will the phone work and everything or will i need to take it to tmobile?
if your numbers are stored on the sim card, then you won't lose them.
if they are stored to main memory, you should connect your phone to a PC via activesync and back them up into outlook.
Alternatively, you can use a program called PIMBackup to save them. Run a search for it on this site.
Assuming your running the stock tmobile rom, you won't lose your myfaves.
Everything should work fine, and even better than it does now after you hard reset.
how long does a hard reset take?

1/3 of a second.
hard reset is pretty much like soft resetting your phone, except for when it comes up, you have to do the initial setup you did when you turned on your phone for the first time. Takes a few minutes.
thanks, works like a charm now! do we know when wm 6.1 will be released and how to obtain it and if it will be free? i know we can get hacked versions or whatever now, but i mean fully legit ways. i really want threaded sms.
Well... yea, the process of setting up the phone after you hard reset might take a few minutes. lol
EDIT: The chances of us getting an official WM6.1 are zero to none.

6 month old O2 XDA2i only program loaded is TT5

Being used in corporate mode 0506 code
Here's the story... needed to use phone to call an ambulance for my fiance (she smashed her collar bone and now has a titanium plate and pins) 10weeks ago.. batt at 12% turned it on and caught the camera button whilst pressing the phone button. screen went all funny - vertical lines. Soft and Hard reset failed!!! had to fully charge before I could initiate a hard reset.
Some time after that the camera disapeared and media player started when camera button pressed. Camera missing from programs. Battery discharged at an alarming rate, you could watch it go flat!!!
Soft reset same problem
Hard reset and started running in corporate mode. All fine.
TT5 installed and it works fine although the it takes ages to find the GPS and sats compared with TT3. Same cables, gps and XDA, It also 'looses' signal where it didn't with TT3 and that is with two setups different cars. Almost as if the set up has gone deaf.
Camera disapeared again and battery going flat.
Hard reset
Camera goes again, this time I track it down to the windows folder and copy/paste the shortcut to programs.
Works for a bit then goes (battery ok now)
repaste it, it goes again
Hard reset all working fine.
worked well for a few weeks then I got a Jabra BT205.
Paired great, worked with TT5 great, calls great.
Then it stopped working with the phone, no TX/RX audio via BT205 just clicking. Tried soft boot, dropped all the pairings, re paired still no good.
Hard reset and its al back fine, headset ok TT5 ok (still deaf)
THEN I find I can recieve text messages, can reply BUT when I go New Text or click on messages it wont open, screen flashes and does nothing. nothing is shown as running in the memory bit. So I cant initiate a text message.
Hard reset and the same problem with texts, but now it will only get 75% of my address book from the back up. try to active sync to get the rest and it says it has done it but hasn't.
Hard reset again, still same problem with texts but gets all the address book from the backup. NOW it will only active sync as a guest.
I cant get it to do a full named sync.
Should I just take it back under warranty??
If you are going to suggest I do updates then great Ill do em BUT please talk me through them, post working links where I can get them. I just want it to work properly. I haven't got the time to continue to mess around with the thing. I need it to work, be reliable in doing what I want of it. Be a phone, be a camera, run TT5, run word and excel. Then it would be nice if I could be like others on here who have got em working. Have a film or some comedy on the SD card for the times when I have a moment to spare, even install some other software and games.
I want to do that but not continue to waste my time with unreliability, resets and the frustration of not being able to use it when a life is at risk!!
Thanks in advance
ARRGGHHH
Thanks for reading...... please help!!!!!
I have it running, address book ok, TT5 OK, programs run OK, BUT can't active sync as it will only come up as guest on my PC and I still can't initiate the messaging part ie MMS or Text.
I would try running it without any additional software. If it still displays this strange behaviour I would definitely return it for a replacement.
sounds like you have a faulty one to me try upgradeing the rom to the current image and for the gprs setting etc for o2 the a cab file somewhere on here that will install the settings for you do the upgrade and see how that goes if it still plays up then send it back
I would download the latest ROM from the O2 site and flash that and see if there is any improvement.

ohhh
Thanks for that. I hope it's going to sort me out. How long have they been on the site?? Im sure I only checked the other day (but the way time's flying for my that could have been 2 months ago!!!)
ohhhh
well I have only soft reset once since the upgrade!!!! but that was when I was trying to switch between text message and readingthe setting to text the otherhalf
sorry for making this same old thread again but i never had a issue with my missed calls until i hard reset my phone and took off all the tmobile add-ons. I read about deleting the list registry tweak but people said the list recreates itself when you restart your phone. I would like to how do you delete the whole program off of my wing. I know i can change the people in my favs by going to the t-mobile website but i just want the whole program gone since it was annoying whenever i tried to use it. Thanks for any help
I'm one of the people who had this problem before. Unforunately, I can't tell you how to fix it. It just worked one time after I did a hard reset, and now after hard resetting more (because of other issues), it's actually working 100% pefectly. Prior to this, I had it kinda working, but sometimes it still wouldn't log calls. I'm flashing to touch-it 2.3 again and I'll see if it still works.
Sorry I can't help, but if you can afford to hard reset, it might be worth a shot.
happened while i was sleeping, there are 2 arrows and an X on the top bar next to my signal indicator which is completely full. says there are no data connections and won't let me send texts. i have soft reset my phone and i get the same thing.
any ideas?

well it is working now, it makes calls and sends/receives texts now.
it happened last night when i was sleeping and continued until an hour or so ago.
i still have the two arrows and X that say no data connections though, even after a reset, and one text remains in the outbox no matter what.

Are you running stock rom? Did you install anything prior to this happening?
i am on the stock ROM, i have quite a few things, the most recent things i installed were a few games. i don't think they would be the culprit

Well, not really sure what's going on with that, but I think I would do a hard reset to make sure it isn't a software issue.

yeah now i have a text that stays in the outbox that sends every time i turn on the phone and even when i clear all my texts they show right back up after a reset. i'm going to flash to the newest official ROM (because apparently 2 were released within a week or something) since i have to hard reset anyways.

Good luck with that...but I heard there were some issues with the newest official release. Have you thought about flashing to a cooked rom?
So ive had this bad boy for about, a month, not the original its actually the second refurbushed ive gotten because my original phone no longer had vib function scroll wheel no longer worked
first replacement:
USB port broke
second replacement:
keeps freezing out, by that i mean ill be typing a txt, half way itll stop typing and just not work...
ill be running 1 app wether it be internet or sms , and itll freeze.
at first i figured hmm might be the 3rd party app i used to restore contacts (bitpim) the refurbished phone has 6.1 WM, my original phone was pre 6.1 so i figured f it ill just hard reset the phone once more and manual re input numbers as people call
nope, even without activating the bitpim my phone still keeps freezin. and its gotten worst
if the phone freezes and i soft reset itll do either of the following
freeze on the first image
freeze during the Verizon intro
freeve during the WM 6.1 page
Freeze right after it finishes loading
not even turn on at all
i just dont know what to do
so far ive done the following
hard reset 2 within a week - seoncd time without 3rd party app and still it does it
soft reset hundreds of times now...
any help would be appreciated, please
ask verizon for a new phone that one has problems if a hard reset doesnt fix them.
also,
i decided to try again and get one more replacement...
if i have an old version of Pim back up and i wanna updated it, will the old files transfer over to the new software and restore once i do a hard reset...
i wish i had outlook on my laptop and this would make it so much easier with active sync
hd2 has been the greatest for me so far i love it
but recently the camera has been giving me a problem
it says failed to initialize and stuff so i got rid of most of my games and unused apps to make sure its not the memory issue (including opera 10)
and tried soft reset as well but still wont work
has anyone had the same problem and treated it somehow?
cuz the last option i thought of is to hard reset, but im afraid i will lose my txt messages cuz i have lotta stuff that i occasionally look back to in there for various reasons
if i dont lose txts through hard reset or if there is anyway to back up the messages, then i dont mind hard resetting for this time
if anyone hard reseted their device before, did you lose the messages?

Yes, a hard-reset will wipe the phone completely to the state it was when you first took it out of the box. You can backup contacts and text messages via several different methods, the easiest would probably be to just use the built-in MyPhone app, it saves all your stuff to a server in the cloud, where you can view it online, and restore it to your phone after the hard-reset. And, it's free.
As for the error you're getting with the camera, I honestly don't know if there's any fixes available other than a hard-reset, but other members may know of one.
