Wing Clear Storage (screen broken)

Hello,
I have a t-mobile wing with a broken screen. I'm sending it back for replacement but i want to hard reset before i do. Ive tried doing this by watching reviews on youtube to see how the menus are laid out, but i cant seem to get it right. Can anyone give me an extremely specific walkthrough?
or better yet, would someone let me call them or call me so we can walkthrough the hard reset together?
Also, I tried using the left,right softkey plus soft reset button and i don't know where to go after there. I'm not even sure if that worked.

i did this on my mda when i had a broken screen...all i did was use the actual buttons...i pressed the windows buttons used the directional button to move up and down, went to settings, used the dirctional button to move around and went to system, then used the directional button again to go to clear storage and that was it...

Can you tell me the button combination?

1. press the window button (or the start button, its the bottom left button on the phone has the windows logo).
2. go down with the joystick (the big directional button in the middle) and go to settings (select it with the button in the middle of the joystick)
3. using the joystick again go to system (its the second button on the bottom)
4. using the joystick again go to "clear storage" and select it with that middle button again (the one inside the joystick)
5. your done....

I have a broken screen i cant see where settings is. how many clicks down?
Or how many clicks up?

so you cant see anything??? i thought it was like cracked or something...anyways...here we go...ill try...
1.windows button
2. setting click up once, that should get you there or two clicks if you have the help button there...
3. click up once then click over right
4. click up once and down once then select that should get you to clear storage...
5. it will ask you to type the numbers 1234 and press yes which should be the button right button above the windows and phone button...
note: its a long shot because depending on where you left off last thats where the button will take you...if that doesnt work trying turning your phone off and trying it again to reset everything...
hope that helps

NICEEEEE
Thanks so much. it worked. Phew. now my tracks are covered. Not that i was over clocking or changing my page pool or anything. wink wink.

Oh and in case you were wondering. My phone dropped from my bed on to my carpet. And i don't know how it is physically possible but the screen cracked on the inside meaning when the phone is off it looks perfectly normal. But when i turn it on i get a crack and all white screen . Lame. I'm going to make them send me a new one.
I think what happened is that i charge it at night and i keep it under my pillow (vibrating alarm wakes me up) and i think it overheated and that caused the screen to crack not the 1.5 foot drop on to fluffy carpet. The phone shows no physical sign of damage.

glad i can help...

Crazy volume problem

Basically, it is as if the top volume button is held down, and the volume is continuously going up on my HD, even when I try to turn it down, it shoots back up again, and is stuck on the volume screen. Sometimes, if I turn it down to silent, it will stay silent for a few seconds, then the volume goes up again and keeps going up.
Really annoying as it means the phone is basically unusable as I'm pretty much always trapped in the volume screen!
Any ideas?

I would suppose that a button is stuck!
Take of the back cover and take a good look at the buttons to see if anything could be wrong!

That's what I thought, but it looks fine to me

I had the same problem as you but I then realize that when I was putting down the volume while in a conversation was my face pressing the screen and increasing again the volume...could it be your same problem?

Nope, because it happens if I don't touch the phone and just leave it on the table

Have you tried a hard reset?
Do a backup first.
Turn off the phone. If you can't pull the battery out.
Hold the volume up + down at the same time then press the power on button for about 1 second. Let go of the power button while keeping the volume up and down still pressed down.
You should see a blue / green / red screen then just follow the instructions on screen.
If this doesn't solve your problem then most likely something is keeping your volume up button depressed internally. Take it back for repair...

The volume slider malfunctioning is a big one on HTC devices known issues. I've had the same problem with my elf....and I've seen plenty that do too. Your best bet would be to take it to an authorized service rep. Sucks I know

Try to remove the cover and use it... the pressing mechanism is on the cover...

Tried that, still the same problem.
I'm going to try a hard reset today, if I still get the problem, going to ask Orange to replace it. I wonder if they'll let me pick another phone, I'm getting a bit fed up with the HD!

I have the same problem, it occurs randomly and I discovered that if I quickly press the power button to stand by the phone and press it again to exit from stand by, the volume bug disappears and phone starts working well again. I thought it was a software bug but I still have it on 1.19. It rarely happens now on 1.13 was more frequent.

Volume Control Buttons

hi all
i have a problem, im left handed so the volume buttons are hit constantly...
is there anyway to deactivate this buttons? ive tried looking for an app to reprogram but i cant find one
any ideas
thanks all
JT

try using your right hand anyway, i dont think you can, as you need them to boot into fastboot and stuff :\

glue them with superglue

i just tried holding it with my left hand is so many different positions... (not an innuendo!) and didnt accidentally press the volume buttons once..

how bizarre lol
maybe its the fact i used to holding a diamond, when i grip the phone it catches the piece of my palm between the index finger and thumb.
i'll have to screen lock more i guess

Maybe this will help?:

Btw, Shenshang - If you're left handed I guess you normally hold the phone with the right hand...

Faulty volume button.

Has anybody have the same problem I have with the DHD volume button? My device has the bottom part of the button jutting out a little bit, and I am worried it might fall off. I have only had this phone for 2 and a half weeks, so before considering an exchange, has anybody had the problem and fixed it? I would hate to take the button off and not be able to put it back on properly.

Can you take pic and upload it?

I had the same problem. I sent mine back to Phones4u after about a week.
Whether it would have fallen off or not, I don't know - but as mine was like that after a week or so I didn't want to take any chances.

Here are the pictures, hope they're good enough quality.

Mine's the same, it's going back when vodafone get more stock.
I also noticed the top of the screen clicks and creaks as if its loose.
Mine is the openmarket version and vodafone only have the branded handsets in stock anyone know the difference?

Just return it.

Hi all,
I've my phone about a month now and I have almost the same problem with the volume button.
Actually it isnt that bad as the pictures above but you can definetally feel that the vol-down button sticks a litle bit out while the vol-up is very hard to press.
(The powerbutton is also hard to press but that seems to be with everyones phone)
It seems HTC is very bad in making hardware buttons, I had also button problems with my Touch HD and my HD2!
What do you recommend me? Should I return it or not?
Ps for htc maybe:
The main reason why htc makes hard to press (power) buttons is to avoid acitentally turning the device on/off while its in your pocket or wathever.
I have a solution, make good easy to press CAPACTIVE (power) HARDWARE buttons.
I think that should solve a lot of problems

The bottom bit of the volume button comes out a bit too on mine but not that far!

Based on the images he posted somethings clearly wrong with it. The buttons not set in the device properly at all.

From the pictures, i had the exact same problem. On day one, i was so happy to have the phone i looked passed it ( it was the very slightest bit sticking out ), then eventually a week later it really started coming loose, when you press volume up for example the bottom of the button would literally pop out and dangle.
In the end i arranged for a replacement the next day as i was illegible as i only had, had the phone for a week. What struck me is the elastics holding the volume rocker in place? thats the last thing i'd expect something made out of "metal" to be locking it in place.

Hi all,
i have the same problem. the volume rocker is not sticking to much out but you can definitely feel the difference between the upper and the lower side of the button. the upper side is like pushed in and kind of hard to press and you don't fell the "click" when you push the vol up. the lower side i slightly sticking out but you can fell the "click" when you push the vol down.
how do yours fell when pushing vol up?
i don't know if i should replace the device or not???
here are some pics of my problem
thanks

I returned mine and I think you should too.
Works perfectly now, but not sure if it can last 20 months as my old one broke so early. Taking the greatest of care whilst touching the volume rocker now. Kinda sad that a device so expensive has quite a few cosmetic flaws.

Exact same issue with mine i dabbed some super glue ont he plastic and the metal. Its alot better now. Seen new buttons on ebay, has anyone tried these yet? How do you install them?

In the picture you attached, the volume key lok in the correct place. However, the Aluminum or battery cover is not in the correct shape. I can see some distortion.

How do you hold your Note????

I tend to hold my table vertically (maybe from coming from a Ipad) with the home button where its located it's impossible not to hit it or the back or menu button??? I know you can hold it upside down but just seems wrong? Is it just me? I hope I am doing something wrong???

If you're holding it vertically there is no "upside down". Upside down would be landscape with the home button up top. And that's why it has full rotation. You can hold it however you damn well please.

I'm digging portrait mode, holding it in my left hand and using my left thumb to hit the buttons.

I hold mine upside down sometimes, usually when i'm writing so i don't accidentally hit the buttons

If I'm holding the tablet in portrait mode, I hold it with my left hand with the home button facing right and I use my right hand to not the back button to go back on webpages etc. I do wish I can temporary turn off the home button and the capacitive buttons

I hold it with the button on the right (and I leave my back and menu keys lit at all times). Turning it this direction leaves the pen hole on top.

Get a fly grip gravity to hold it. www.flygrip.com

Not only how you hold it but how do you lift it from flat table using only one hand??? Impossible to do, big design flaw.
The small bezels on left and right side make it very difficult to hold in landscape mode, older version of 10.1 Note with speakers was somehow better. The best is Nexus 10. Best grip, best fit. My opinion.
