Help! My htc touch P3050 froze while booting and now the touch screen isn't responding. Buttons seem to work but somehow it became locked. Is there anyway to unlock it using hardware buttons alone? I haven't tried a hard reset because I need to get the contact data off first. It won't connect with active sync or my mobiler. It connects as a network but active sync can't connect to it. Any ideas how i can unlock or extract the contacts?

Wow Mobiler wont work either? do you connect to activesync regularly? I remember my phone wouldnt sync to activesync when i flashed over to windows mo 6.1
I had to turn off advanced networking in the connections tab. So i dunno how you would even do this without a program such as mobiler.
The only other option..though it may or may not work is if you go to sprint or verizon and you ask them to do a phone to phone transfer of contacts, but im not even sure how they would do this.
Sorry man i hope other people can respond to your issue.
Yeah I think the reason why active sync won't connect is because it is locked. When I'm in the Get Connected dialogue in Active sync it lists USB as connected but at the same time it says your device was not found. I was wondering If it might be possible to back the rom up from the bootloader to say the microsd card and extract the pim.vol file from there. But I have no idea how to do this.
This recently happened to my Vouge. Basically part of the touchscreen errored and it thought it was always being pushed in this one little area, so it wouldnt recognize any other push. Every now and then you could do something, but it would always pull to that one area.
It was a hardware failure and I had sprint fix it. I wasnt even on insurance. I just argued that it was under year warranty, and there should be no reason to pay because HTC would do it for free. At the time HTC's number wasnt working, so they didnt really have a big choice.
I just accepted that the data was gone and did a hard reset. This fixed the problem with the screen. Thanks for the help guys. Now to set up active sync immediately.
If you dont already use PIMbackup I would definatly give it a try so you dont lose your contacts and msg's next time

I have a JasJar and when I switch sims the mailboxes keep disappearing. I still see them in the TODAY screen but when I try to select them they are nowhere to be found. I also try to manually go to messaging but they are missing from there too. I keep creating new boxes and they are starting to number up Yahoo1, Yahoo2 etc.
Help Me.
Thanks.
Yeah i have experienced the same thing, whats seems to work for me is making sure you close down all apps before a soft reset or sim card change, go to start settings system memory running program list and stop all
This works for me every time now and i no longer have to set up my mail accounts
All you need to do is to turn off your device off for a while (a couple of seconds will do) before you reset.
It's because WM5 caches data to speed up the device a bit, and if you reset your device before it gets a chance to permanently write the data, it gets lost.
Best thing is to shut off before you do a reset, in case you lose data.
Well I sent mine to service, switched the mainboard and i can soft reset at anytime now, never looses any data any more.
Same Rom and config but the problem is completly gone

Which Universal device did you have exactly?
I have a Qtek 9000 that seems to be forgetting its authentications and I can't figure it out. Nothing else seems to be wrong with it which leads me to think it HAS to be a software issue, but I can't pin it down!
The only weird things I'm experiencing: Bluetooth devices lose pairing (device redetects them and asks for PIN), Wi-Fi access points get wiped clean (get prompted for WPA keys), and infrequently the Exchange Server password in ActiveSync and the GPRS login information to Cingular are asked even when "Save password" is set.
Qtek 9000 from Dangaard Norway
Min wiped Email settings, Wlan, and some GPRS settings
Don't know about BT, dident use it before i sent it back.
Thanks Bosjo, I was beginning to think I was the only one, or that it was a software issue.
I believe it's related to the fact that the IMEI temporarily disappears from the phone, so it loses authentication of itself and therefore the devices or credentials its encrypted with.
I posted full details here http://www.howardforums.com/showthread.php?t=797931 and will likely be shipping it back to the supplier tomorrow for replacement.
That's true, I totally forgot about the Imei disapering.
It also failed to display the radio version.
I know for sure that they actually switched the mainboard cause I have a different MAC adress, haven't checked the Imei number though.
It's a bit funny that this is a hardware error, one would think that it should forgett all settings then and not just pieces off it
Got the same problem. Im seeing my mail account on the today screen but can't access it, if i search for the e-mail's i can find them but can't access them. Anyone find a workaround or where can i delete my mail account i had before it dissapred, becuase now if i try to add the mail account again with the same name as last time it says that i alredy got a account but i can't edit it :/... Please help
damn, nobody found a solution for this? search thru the registry twice without a result ;/
does this happen only when you take off the battery?
another one ....
any solution for it....
regards
ady: nah when i do a soft reset
can't find it in somewhere in the registry either so don't know how i could remove this damn buggy thing :/
Ok my brain is about to explode…Does the bbconnect service do anything other than the push mail? I know this sound like a stupid question but bear with me.
I installed 4_1_.0.0.67 on my tytn and all hell broke out
- The blackberry software has hijacked the security login screen I had set up originally from my numeric touch login screen to a goggle-like field for which I have to either open up the keyboard or use the useless onscreen keyboard. If I shut down the security from the ‘blackberry security’ icon and go back to the tytn installed ‘lock’ icon it takes me back the 'blackberry security' screen anyway.
- I now have two user information bars and two device locks on my today screen. I know I can remove them both but dang…department of redundancy department anyone?
- switching between applications has slowed down to a crawl including the touch screen freezing for aprox 10-20 seconds each time I move between tabs and closing apps.
And to top it all off my incoming calls started being diverted right to my mail box. No ringing.
Had to nuke the bbconnect software and even that didn’t resolve the incoming calls problem and had to do a hard reset on the phone
I’m thinking I will kill the whole bbconnect package and save myself some coin as everywhere I go I have access to some wifi network anyway.
Sorry for the rant but am I missing the big picture here? Is there more to the blackberry connect service.
BTW I'm on a Rogers branded HTC TyTn with no modifications
BBC4 does make the PDA slower and does replace the original device lock by its own (which is terribly bad). Aside of that it works like a charm.

So it lookes you have to choose from 2 bad solutions....
- Remove the software
- Have bad performance
Isn't there another app which makes it possible to connect?
Thx all!
True, true. It is quite a load for the Tytn but at least I don't see that my device gets unstable.
I hope you know that you can disable the BB device lock? Just use Memmaid and disable BB's startup service.
But consider: you won't be loved by your company's sysadmin if you tell him that, and it is indeed a security loss. But you can replace it with a better locking software then.
Cheers

Oh Sh!!T... I just changed the bbsecurity service to manual from automatic, now I cannot get back into my TyTn... does anyone have a quick fix other than HR... I've tried SR several times, but that didn't work... I can connect via ActiveSync, I just need to start the BBSecurity service, then I can input my password (theoretically anyways) and should be fine... I used Memmaid to make this change... Just another example of using advanced tools without knowing the ramifications....
I guess i should have asked for more clarification first...

Hi, I experienced the same once. I am afraid, there is no way out but HR...
You should stop the service, not delete or manual start. I.e. after each SR you will be asked for the BB password, but once stopped, it won't ask again (till you SR).
other srvices
I use mail2web's free services and it works great and you cant beat the price and there is not that big of a deal with a delay of a few minuts or less and it is push hope this helps after HR
I just use bbconnect 2.x
works fine without those annoying 2 points you mentioned
in my experience, if your company only supports BES, then it is best to carry a blackberry device. the only way around this is if your email admin would be willing to set up a forwarder for your account. using a service like mail2web is ok, but only if you can get that exchange / groupwise forwarder set up.
hi, Please help me i dropped my hd2 and broke the touch screen is there anyway i can backup my phone as i had security code enabled and it wont let me enter it?? insurance company have agreed to fix it just need to post it to them but would like a back up first,
Thanks in advance

I don't know if this will work, but try MyMobiler (http://www.mymobiler.com/) and see if you can get it running without unlocking your phone.
It needs to install something on your device, and I can't remember if it requires any user interaction, and I don't know if it will do it whilst the phone is locked.
It basically gives you control over your mobile from your PC, so you can use the mouse to enter the PIN.
Hope this helps!
Edit:
You'll need ActiveSync (or later windows equivalent) running on your PC.
when i insert usb i cant select active sync its on disk drive
I thought sometimes if you leave the phone once the usb cable is plugged in, it automatically goes to active sync?
(also what insturance plan are you on, just out of interest)
no on mine i think it selects disk drive

Ahh - don't know what you could do then. You'd need it on ActiveSync to control it from anything other than the screen! I guess you're gonna lose whatever's on there

Nah - it defaults to whatever you last used, which was obviously USB drive in this case.
thanks for your help guys just wanted to check before i sent it off hopefully most of its backed up on microsoft my phone
going to post at 550pm unless someone can help back up
john is right, the default is ActiveSync the FIRST time you connect, but after that it defaults to the last option used, but if last was USB Drive and you remove the SD Card it will default to ActiveSync again, this is a first step but I'm afraid you still won't be able to install Mobiler (a fantastic app I discovered 1 hour ago by the way!) as it has to install on the phone and you won't be able to click OK to install at the prompt. But you may be able to Backup files on your PC using activesync, so it worth a try!
Another bit of advice that won't help you immediately, but for future reference, I would highly recommend getting Microsoft MyPhone installed. I've got it backing up contacts, emails, text, photos etc. every night whilst I sleep. It really does help when starting from scratch, after flashing ROMs or hard resets.

Nice one mate.
Good to know there's a way round that problem. I'm sure you won't be the last
Hi everyone,
I'm new here and this looks like a good place to learn about all things WinMo
Unfortunately, i think i may have donw something to my HD2 and now it wont let me on the internet. It says at the top its connected via 3g or whatever's the strongest connection. But whenever i try to launch anything requiring the internet it comes up saying its unable to connect and to try again.
I've had the phone 3 months and its been fine. THe only changes i've made from standard is adding cookies home tab (which im sure didnt do anything) the only other thing i did around the time of it stopping working is using tree size mobile i selected "Load Default Settings" could this have done it??
I've also just noticed it wont let me call people, it just does 3 beeps and hangs up even in strong signal.
Any help on this would be greatly appreciated,
Thanks,
Mark
Have you paid you're bill lol
anyway settings>connections>then take a look in connections see if all you're settings are still there if not go back a page and hit up connection set-up and it should put you're settings back in have a soft reset and try again call wise not sure, could be a problem with the phone that requires a hard reset(back to when you first got the device)
I'll enquire bout the bill, shouldnt be though, cos when you get cut off it doesnt let you connect to 3g, and when you call its just says connection to this number is restricted on this phone...which it isnt doing, its just not calling at all.
Been into settings and everything is on and i've done the reconfiguration to Vodafone and its still the same.
Hello all. I, like many others, got an HTC shift online recently and it's in Italian. Got Vista in English, but I'm having trouble liberating the Snapvue side.
I've been jailbreaking and hacking iPhones since before there were GUI utilities to do the work for us. I'm a computer tech by trade, so I'm pretty familiar with tech in general.
I've used my SIM card from my Galaxy Note, it's an AT&T SIM, with partial success. I don't speak Italian, but I do speak computer, so it's obvious that it keeps giving me a message about connecting to EDGE or GPRS or 3G. Constantly. It gets in the way of me trying to do anything else. The weather works, so I know it's reading the SIM. I can force my way through setting up gmail or iCloud email, but it never actually pulls any email. I get an error message that translates roughly to " can't connect. If the problem persists, try restarting the system." I can't get past here.
I tried the other method, using Internet sharing through some trickery, but one step of the instructions says to click "connect" or "connetti" in my case, but the "connetti" button is greyed out.
Any help would be appreciated, and while I'm not a dev, I can comprehend complex ideas and instructions, so probably no need to dumb it down.
Spike
So you are getting weather updates everytime you hit refresh?
Is the SIM card a contract card or a pay as you go monthly?
Let me know and I might be able to help.
It's a contract unlimited SIM. Oddly, through all the connection error messages, it seems to update weather reliably when I open it.

EDIT: I tried the Internet sharing trick again, this time with the SIM card installed, and the "connetti" button was not greyed. For about 30 seconds, long enough for Vista to install the drivers, I was able to see "PocketPC." It went away, and I haven't been able to get it to show up again, but I haven't messed with it much. Looks like I may be able to get this without the email trick, but I'd still appreciate any help you can give.
Update: I got the .CAB file into My Documents, and I got the .lnk file into Settings, but Liberate does not show up when I open settings in Snapvue. I could have sworn Vista was able to read my SIM before, but it won't anymore.
Update again: I'm returning the Shift and exchanging it for one that can read my SIM properly. I suspect a bad radio firmware installation, but rather than force my way through liberating it to see if reflashing the modem firmware would fix it, I'll just have 1saleaday replace it, which they were quite willing to do. Will report on success or failure.
