I got my phone today...
All is cool if I'm in mail on main screen and i open the keypad the thing scrolls like crazy even after i close it... Any ideas... S/W or H/W issue?
and how do i do a master reset?
Thanks
Jason
Heres more info... If i open the keypad it's like the arrow key is stuck in the left to right direction.(scrolls up and down on screen) If i hit a key on the keypad it stops.. and when i close it it scrolls again (right to on screen left).. and hitting a key fixes it... Any ideas?
hard reset:
comm manager + Voice record + reset
Release reset while holding the other buttons
Prompt on screen follow directions
Hard reset from UI: go to programs/ Clear storage. it will ask you to type in 1234 and press the "yes"soft key.
If you ever decide to flash your rom with one of the roms here you will NEED this:
BOOTLOADER MODE: (in case you don't read all of the directions)
Camera+Reset. Release reset while holding the camera button.
when the screen turns 3 collors plug the phone back in to the computer and rerun the rom utility.
also make sure that you figure out if your wiz is G3 or G4, and the roms are apropriate to your model
Well it's a g3 i just unlocked it.. any word on the sticky key issue? can i clean it or is it software?

I did something silly. I loaded SPB Full Screen Keyboard on my U1000 but it did not work. Although it showed in the list of keyboards dropdown when selected it simply did not work. So I used SK Tools to make it the default SIP thinking maybe at reset time it will load. Well, that was not a good idea. Now my U1000 has a white screen. It still works, I can turn it off and it rings when called etc but the screen is all white. I tried ActiveSync thinking I can delete the FSK and reset again but ActiveSync did not connect.
So, is there any way I can reset the device and bypass startup, registry etc?
If not is there any way to do a hard reset without using the Clear Storage application? I am looking for a reset button + power key etc type combination like in the older HTC devices.
Thanks for all your help in advance.

To make a Hardreset hold the volume slider down and press the reset button.
To enter Bootloader press and hold the camera button and press the reset button.
You are super. Thanks for all your help.
I just found a "Clear Storage" shortcut in system menu to reload the OS, but i didn't found a physical reset button on X1 and i cannot found any information on user manual to Hard-Rest X1.
Therefore i would like to know how to hard reset X1 when my phone was looped on the Main Menu.
If you mean a reset in the sense that you don't clear the storage then there is a button underneath ur the back cover underneath the stylus that will let u reset ur device. If you mean reset in the sense of bringing it back to the way you got it then

remove the backcover and the stylus and you should see a round hole, prod your stylus in to this hole and your phone will reset.

Hi pls help,
Just got an At&T Fuze......its got couple of inbuilt themes but when I apply it doesn't change......i tried all of those but it remains d same.......do i need to unlock something or some problem with my fone???
Any help is appreciated.......thanks in advance....
Get TF3D
I'm assuming you mean the TouchFlo 3D theme and not the windows theme?
You need to download and install TF3D found in this section. Then find a theme, there are plenty posted on here as well.
No by theme i mean the actual theme........taskbar....the bottom bar...menu...etc.....it just remains the same even after applying new theme.....is it some problem with my fone??
pls help
Are you clicking the "ok" in the top right after you select the theme? I just got a Fuze yesterday and no problems switching themes here...
Try what Maxxpower just said.
If it's not that then I doubt there's a problem with the handset... just the software. Try reflashing it with a rom or something?
I had that problem with my fuze too, something messed up during the initial setup and the top and bottom bars were green and never changed with any theme.. may not be the answer your looking for, but a hard reset fixed it for me.
Hard Reset:
Take off back cover, remove stylus.. find red "reset button".
Hold down Volume Down and Main Circle Button... press red reset button with stylus at same time. Release reset button keep volume down and main button pressed.
Wait for some text to come up on screen, press volume up to continue, press volume up to reboot.
Just incase OP didn't know =]

Or just go to Start>Settings>System>Clear Storage> Type 1234 and click yes
lol. Wasn't that easier? haha it's just another method. I prefer the above method when you can't access the device at all. This one is much smoother and faster since you only have to type instead of opening and clicking and holding. Just my opinion
thanks a ton guys!! i will try a hard reset and hope it works.........

HTC TOUCH HDThe device stuck in animated gif. Try to do hardreset, first become bootloaderscreen and then a message "No image file"
Please Help
What a hell of a job with these small buttons!
Thanks in advance!
this way
On a powered off phone hold down the volume down and the volume up button and power on at the same time. After a couble of secunds you will get a warning... You can now let go of the buttoms. if you want to proceed with the hard-reset you press wolume up buttom otherwise you press something else..
Rememeger you will delete all you data by hard-resseting your phone

I had some issues as well the first time I wanted to hard-reset my HD. But after several times, I got it. I laid down my HD, pressed the upper and lower volume button at the same time with my right hand, and pressed the power button at the same time with my left hand, and it will come.
Just try several times, and you'll get the same. But try to backup some part before if it's possible!
The one you've done (I guess) is the bootloader, which will appear when you press the volume down and power button at the same time.

I have a Dutch device, so I don't know exactly how it's called in the English rom. But this is what I did:
Goto 'Settings' => 'System' and then something called 'Opslag wissen' in the Dutch rom. In english it would be something like 'Delete data'.
When you do that you are asked to enter "1234" and press the YES button. After that, the default settings are restored and all data is deleted.
Now this is my issue: I had installed several programs on the memory card and they are stil there, which is good. They even work after the reset, which is also good. But I can't put them in the programs menu or programs tab anymore, which is not good.
Does anyone know how to solve this? Or do I have to get rid of all the programs and reinstall them again?
Grtz,
Thijs
Re-install the applications..
Hey.. I think the easyest is to re-install the applications... Just because you choose to install them om the memorycard, the software stills place som files in windows system files...
backup
just to be sure i always have a map on external storage with all the cab files i installed. in case of hard reset ik can always reinstall everything whereever i am.

@GreenFrog Thanks for the quick reply!
Now i know what I was doing wrong, I pressed the upper and lower volume button at the same time pressing the power button, but I'm instantly hold the powerbutton down, instead of pressing it one's!
But the mean problem for all this misery was a corrupted SD-Card (There were no more Apps installed, something had blow them away,the directory Programfiles was complet empty), the device couldn't start up Windows Mobile. When I remove the SD-card everything works fine again, except that i have to re-install all apps.This looks very strang to me, never had such an issue before!
the trick is to hold both the volume keys down and to press the power button just once. It will not work if you hold down the power button while the device is turning on.
Hope this helps
This also stumped me for a while.
The difference between going to the bootloader and doing a hard reset is that to do hard reset, you press BOTH the up and down side of the volume key whereas to go to bootloader, you press only the lower side of the volume key. In both cases, you press the power button.
Remember to do this after shutting down the device.
The approach of going into setting and do a clear storage is fine as long as the device is not frozen up yet.
Hope this makes it clearer for everyone.

I was sending a text message and when I tried to long press the 'm' key to type a question mark I realized all of my long press punctuation options are gone. Puzzled, I looked in the keyboard's settings for a solution but couldn't find anything. I find it much less convenient to have to press the Sym button every time I want to insert punctuation. Has anyone else experienced this?

Ok I did a factory reset but my keyboard still isn't fixed. Now I'm starting to wonder if it even had that feature in the first place. It did, didn't it?

Is grabing the key .
*EDIT: When i press "m" or other letter i haven't nothing sorry
That is so weird. I swear I could long press a letter and it would come up with a symbol. Oh well thanks for your help
For anyone interested, I did find an app that adds this feature onto your stock keyboard called Samsung Keyboard Alt Symbols, and it can be downloaded through the Xposed Installer.
