First timer

It's my first time hard-resetting my wizard (random resets are finally getting to me), but I was wondering how on earth am I supposed to do this. I follow all the procedure, and all that appears is a screen filled with the colors red green and blue. I hold for about a minute more after that screen shows up and nothing more appears. I know i'm supposed to see some dialog box that asks if I want to clear it, but I'm just not seeing it.

Hi - this is the way i do it.
Turn device off.
Hold comm button (top left) and record button (top right) together.
Turn device on - keep fingers on two buttons above.
Black screen should come up with some writing (take fingers off buttons above) - press call button (green)
and it will hard reset.

This may work. But that is NOT what the manual says to do. It says to hold the top side left and top side right buttons and use the stylus to push in the reset button on the right side. But I did this and it did nothing.
HTC Wizard, i-mate K-JAM, Cingular 8125:
While holding the Comm manager button and the Voice Command button, push in on the soft reset button (reset hole) once. Keep holding the Comm Manager and Voice Command buttons until there is a screen asking you if you want to clear all data. To commit, press the green send key.
Note: The Cingular 8125 also has a software hard reset option. You can find this application in the Settings folder under "Clear Storage."

I've tried the hardware button method several times (camera button, comm button, and turn on) and I even tried the other method (which did nothing) but when I perform the comm and camera method, all I get is a multi-colored screen that has two strings of numbers on it. So the next question I got to ask is, is a clear storage for the 8125 as effective as the hardware reset?

Some people think it is, some don't - I think it's pretty close give it a shot

Just navigate to clear storage its easier.
Start > Settings > "System" tab > clear storage
It will ask if you really want to, tap yes then it should hard reset.

This is how I hard reset to UPGRADE or RELOAD the ROM from my PC:
I keep the device on... I hold the top left (comm mgr button) and top right (voice command button) then I press the reset button on the right side with my stylus. ONce the device goes to black screen, I release the top left button while still holding the right... wait 3 seconds then release the top right button. At this point you should be to a DOS like screen with a USB label in the lower left. You can then load the ROM from your PC to the device.

device no longer defaults to slider locked when hold down red button

I used to have it so that if I held down the red (hang up) button, and picked no choices from the menu that comes up (lock, turn off screen, sleep, etc.), it would automatically become locked needing me to slide the slider next time I turned it on before it would take keyboard commands. I soft-reset it, and now that doesn't happen anymore - on wakeup, it goes right to the Today screen. I don't like it because it comes on in my pocket sometimes. I tried
HKCU\ControlPanel\KeyBd\Devicelockwhensuspended = 1
HKCU\ControlPanel\BackLight\AutoDeviceLockEnable = 1
but still no good. When I hold down the red button, it gives me a choice of Power Off, Turn Screen Off, Lock Device, and Set vibrate. If I do nothing, the screen goes off (which is where it used to be locked), but now when I hit the green button to wake it up, I see this same menu again - not the locked slider. When it goes to sleep on its own, it doesn't lock either - straight to Today screen when a button is pressed. What's going on?!?
My next attempt was to assign the "hold down red button" to \Windows\DeviceLock.exe but I can't figure out how to assign "hold red button" - what's the best way to do that?
thanks!!

CWM issue

I am attempting top install a zip from the sd card and when I click on that option it is going to the screen with the circle and the top hat and just sitting there.
THis is my first ROM on my HD2. How long should it take before clicking over to the zip files so I can open. It hangs for 5 minutes with no activity.

Pressing the wrong button. You are pressing end, which takes you to top hat (or up one level from sub menus)
Try pressing send instead.
Send - select
end - up one level, or top hat if already at top level.

I am pressing the green button and it goes to the circle with the tophat and just hangs there. It was stuck there last night while I slept, a good 6 hours.
Any other suggestions?

May be something wrong with your hardware buttons - when you press green also being pressed next button, two button pressed simultaneously?

[q] broken touch screen ?

Hi
I have just bought a used nook, and i have a problem with it. The thing is, sometime nook is working perfectly, but sometimes it seams like a there is something wrong with touchscreen. For example, i try to hit menu button, and when i press it, the star at the top lights. When i press home, it doesn't go to home screen, but hides the menu, as if i press at the top of the screen. The problem is there like half a time, then is normal. It's random.
My nook is rooted, but this problem was there before i rooted it.
What's wrong and how to fix it ?

I9500 immaculate, left menu & right back buttons at base of screen stopped working

I9500 immaculate, left menu & right back buttons at base of screen stopped working
The touch sensitive menu 'button' to the left of the centred home button,
and the touch sensitive back 'button' to the right of the centred home button,
both don't work. However the central home button does work.
Everything else on the phone works.
I have already replaced the charger port ribbon, but this made no difference.
Has anyone any idea what is wrong and can this be fixed with a new part, or software.

Did they suddenly stopped working? A bit of background info may help more.
