This problem started yesterday.
All of a sudden i cannot access my settings at all.
I need to to a hard reset but when i go to the start menu and click settings, nothing.
i've tried leaving the battery out but i don't know how long the back up battery lasts.
Is there any other way to do a hard reset?
this is a developers page, so dont be so lazy and read you manual how to do a hardreset !!! you dont need settings for making a hardreset. oh god !

I'm sorry i didn't know there was one.
I was only asking for help, chill out man.
first what kind of phone do you have? second...if you know the type do a search on google on that type include hard reset in the search text...there will be probably more than enough hits...

i'll let him off then,
Its sorted now anyway, i have the omnia
and if anyone wants to know how to hard reset then here ya go:
1. turn the phone off.
2. hold the power/call/end buttons for about 5 secs.
3. you will be asked if you want to format, this will only format the phone memory not 'my storage' or 'storage card'.
4. press the call button to format and hey presto working omnia again.
Why didn't you just soft reset............
is is so easy to say: "make hard reset"....
----
control panel registry branch may be deleted(then i cannot help you), or you just missing empty directory in /windows/start menu/ - look there, if it is missing, make it(just empty dir named "settings") there and make softreset....
if still problem persists, try to copy any shortcut(lnk) to that /windows/start menu/settings dir, make softreset and look, if that icon in menu start is there..
there may be other possibilities, but...it is late and i need to get some sleep now..
in future, try use ppcpimbackup to make..... whole PIM backup(sms, mms, mail, calls, etc), just in case you need hard reset(you cannot make full backup with i.e. spb backup, if system is damaged, it may be nonsense - ppcpimbackup will just make databases backup, so in case of reset it won't be such pain as loss of everything..)
btw, it is wrong forum section, imho...
Hi,
I got my black x1 on satyrday. started loading diferent programms to get other languages from paragon and some other , but nothng worked. then I was trying to change some registrs to unlock the extra rom. wich didnt work and after reboot it starts up with se and shows xperia and that was it.
so next day I went to shop and they without any questions give me new x1.
that was my first day with x1
strange but i think thats the problem with hacking around
strange is that hard reset didnt work
Wtf were you trying to unlock? what extra rom...
Hard reset just removes all of your settings, but you didnt screw with the settings, you screwed with the registry
the rom where are all the programms that installs after hard reset
I thouht that registrs are set to default too !?!?!?!?!

Lol! Be careful with the tweaking next time around... they might not be nice enough to replace it so easily again.

So tell me... (this going to be my first WinMo device) can we easily reset everything on the set or not - if needed? Like you re-install windows on a PC and stuff?

lmao actually im not sure, this is gonna be my first winmo phone actually.
But i guess you just messed up the recovery sector of that locked ROM ;p
youre lucky though. thats one advantage to buying phones from a retail store, just walk in and get a replacement no questions asked lol.
I'm also a n00b on WM but I think there is no a 'thing' as unlocking extra ROM in WM
Nah windows always has a protected area where people normally arent supposed to go into. I've also seen retail computers with whole locked off partitions where all of the original programs and settings are stored, waiting for the consumer to screw up and use that restoration disk.
strange. so many people able to buy X1. y is there not alot of X1 on ebay.com?
i really wanted this phone!
All of the X1s right now are out in sweden. Maybe ebay has a separate site for sweden like they do with china/hong kong.
Plus, who in the right mind would buy and sell such a wonderful device ;p
OK
The stick in se but is soft reset. I thoth its hard reset.
whot is realy hard reset combination?
Press power and soft reset together for at least 5 sec.

Registry changes do not survive a hard reset. So tweak away.

yes I did a test
added a string to registry and after hard reset it was gone
wich means that phone was OK that I returned.
I thoth that push button under cover is hard reset because couple times after messing with phone it hanged and pressing soft button it resset all(like hard reset)

You will have to provide more detail as it depends on what you did. When you say you bricked it, what were you doing and what failed?
If you hard reset it, everything will be as it was when you first got it so your contacts and any other changes you made to the phone will be lost.

What changes were made that may have caused the problem?
You still be able to get around using the Start Menu, at least until the phone freezes as you say.
if the phone boots but tf3d just freezes, just go to start, settings, personal, today - items tab, scroll down the list, deselect tf3d - sync phone with pc (this backsup contacts - hard reset - sync to pc to restore your contacts.

nope no start menu! i tried to go in and delete OZ IM cuz it was extremely irratating me and i tried soft reset and it would only load to start screen
Hi clampi, what happens when you connect it to your PC? if you can still active sync you should be able to back up a lot of files and stuff if you need to hard reset, it doesn't sound like it is broken though, just messed up, you just have an unpleasant hill to climb. I have not gone through anything like this since I had an Artemis, when I learned to use SPB backup, free trial available, now whenever I do something which I think may potentially bugger up my phone, like digging holes in my registry, I use SPB backup first. Sometimes I just make a backup, hard reset and restore just for the hell of it, I think it can help smooth out/de-frag memory. Any way good luck sorting it out.

RTFM...
There are instructions in your owner's manual on how to do a hard reset. For the CDMA Diamond, it is Power, Vol Down, DPad Center, and reset. Might be different for TP.
Regardless, you are far from bricked.

yea i kno what im sayin! i was sayin thank you for telling me how n i was gonna do it after i restored my contacts!. and i kan get my TP to acticesync but when i try to save my contacts it says Outlook has not been installed! im on windows Vista
Install Outlook and try again. I think you can download it from Microsoft's website (at least as a trial).
Instructions are on page 126 of the manual for the Touch Pro.
Here's what it says;
To perform a hard reset:
With the device turned off, press and hold the Volume Down and Enter keys first, and then press and hold the Power key until you see the following message on the screen: <Warning Message>
Release the Volume Down, Enter, and Power keys, and then press the Volume Up key to perform the hard reset, or press any other button to cancel the reset.

May I ask why you would reset the timer?
Maybe he needs to sell it, or he doesn't want his wife to know he's talking to his mistress all the time. Who cares? xD
True, just curious
But it's enough with one thread, this forum is cluttered already.

Isn't he just on about the call timers? Could always reset them on the Kaiser and Hermes...
Really? My kaiser carried the call timers over past OS and radio ROM flashes.

I believe he is - and to be honest I would love that option myself, or if not a second set of timers which can indeed be reset.

I'll be honest I didn't ever try to reset them on the Kaiser when it went WM6.5, but I remember resetting them on both phone at least once...
Hi!
I did a diff between two backups of my registry because last week I started having problems with my bluetooth headset.
And by hasard, I found this registry folder:
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Shell\CumulativeCallTimers\Line_0]
There are entries like OutgoingVoiceCurrentNumCalls, OutgoingVoicePhoneLifeTime and AllPhoneLifeTime and they increased from one backup to another.
I have no reason to touch them, but maybe you want to try or search a little more about those entries.
Edit: Weird! Somehow, the forum insert a space in the name of the registry folder, but the space is not here when I edit the post. Anyway, just ignore the space in the "cumulative" above.
Anyone tested that? Would it work also on other devices?

What you mean whith Kaiser or Hermes?
For all, i don't thing is a reg key setting. It should be a radio hack... News or tests to do?
Thanks

The whole thing is just one big voyage of discovery !
You can also replace the welcomehead.192.png file and the poweroff.gif (animated) which goes a fair way to improving things. Just leaves the hard-coded initial Toshiba and Orange boot screens and otherwise a reasonably Orange-free experience.
Just save and then copy the folllowing two files into the Windows directory:
