Hellloooooo all, I hope somebody can help me. I LOVE MY XDA, but not at this moment. I was making a sms and than suddenly my screen was gone!!
I cannot work on it anymore. What shall I do? I do not prefer a hard reset, since I don't have a back up yet. :shock:
HelP HelP HelP

well... now is the time to BACKUP!
Sync to your pc, and back up thru your pc, there is an option in active sync. right ontop of "install apps" i think.
do that.. and then u are free to try anything, including hard reset.
does it show the LOGO atleast?
if so, maybe its a new program u installed... like that Landscape thingie.
good luck.

hi,
is there any way to bypass screen alignment after hard reset???
Whats the point? After a hard reset the sceen alignment information is lost, to by-pass it would leave you with a very unresponsive screen.
it is broken screen ,and could not align screen in 4 corners,it misses 1 corner and cross sign return back in the center
I also would like to know how to accomplish this on an XDAII.
To rephrase: How can we bypass the screen calibration after a hard reset? There MUST be some way! Perhaps a different ROM version?
Thanks!
Try to insert your XDA2 into cradle and restore any backup you have. After reboot you would no longer need to realign the screen.
I'v tested this on old RoverPC S1 and it worked.
I actually came up with another (better) solution...
After a hard reset, put your XDA or XDA II into the cradle & run activesync. You can either set up a connection, or go as guest.
Use the 'explore' button to browse to the \windows\startup folder on the XDA, and delete the Welcome shortcut. You can then remove the XDA from the cradle, softboot, and bingo, no welcome message, no calibration.
Hope this helps. I'm surprised no one has come up with that before.
I am having the same problem but when I try to remove the welcome.exe it is saying "cannont delete file welcome: access denied". I is probably because the process has already started... any suggestions?
maybe you want to try this... i've tried it, works like a charm...

This worked perfectly on my touch diamond! Thanks everyone. (this is another reason why we should never post questions without a simple google search!)
Finally Got past the aligmernt screen
I removed the welcome file and was able to get in, many thanks for the great support.

Welcome to forums
have a look here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=3072857&postcount=10
Just create a (empty) file named "welcome.not" on your SD card and do a new Hard Reset (or soft reset, should also work)
Well,
For what it's worth,
I found out on my brother's Qtek S200 that was also in a loop, that it automatically passed the align screen after some 15 times.
Later I found this in the registry:
HKLM\Hardware\Devicemap\Touch\MaxCallError(=16)
So I assume you can tick the align screen 16 times before it continues?

I tried aligning for 20+ times on my i-mate PDA2k, and I'm still in the aligning loop. The CodeFactory tool worked, and thanks to nonentity for uploading it, because CodeFactory.es is now defunct.
BTW, can you please upload the .doc? Not sure it says anything super important, but it might be interesting.
It's been happening for the past few days now but everytime I try to delete, install, or uninstall ANYTHING no matter where it goes or where it's from (storage card or main memory), the darn thing won't let me.
I even created a New Folder JUST so I can delete it and there it sits. The error message says:
"Cannot delete 'whatever': Access is denied. Be certain that the file is not write-protected and is not currently in use."
I'm not a newb about these things but maybe I'm overlooking one tiny thing.
Also when i go to "remove programs" in settings, there's nothing in the list. I've installed a few cabs here and there like SPB software or cabified tweaks but yet there's nothing in my remove programs list to remove.
I think this ties directly to my activesync problem which says: "Syncronization cannot be completed successfully. Reconnect your device and try again. If the problem persists, blah blah help"
I've done a hard reset on my phone and yet it still does this.
Anyone have/had the same issue?
I have the same problem... on my tmo wing though... i cannot install anything and when i go to the remove programs nothing is there, i have no clue what to do... any help would be awesome
Which ROM do you have?
I have the same problem on my vario 4,stock rom.
Its very annoying any ideas people

its 'cuz when you uninstall the program it should say something like "program was not completely removed" "you want to take it off the list" and you said Yes, at least thats what i am assuming but you can fix that by PIMback then hard reset will do the trick =) if there is something i can help u with let me know

Just out of curiosity, how did you perform the hard reset?
Here's the solution... Or what it should be anyway.
My apologies for not noticing this post earlier. The same thing has happened to me and it was very frightening to think that something was wrong with my Sprint Touch Pro or my MicroSD Card. However, after realizing that I executed the initial hard-reset with the memory card still inside the phone, I attributed my issues to that fact. And sure enough, that was the problem!
To fix that annoying problem that you guys are having just take the MicroSD Card out of your phone and proceed to execute a hard-reset. Once the phone has completely booted up, place the MicroSD Card back into the phone and voila... All should be back to normal.
I really hope that I was able to help you out.
Yeah I did that a few weeks ago and it worked great... until about a minute ago and I noticed all of my installed programs have disappeared from the "removed programs" app (again).. I cannot install anything.. I cannot delete anything.. i cannot UNinstall anything. This is crap. My rom is stock as I don't do a lot of modding. I have mobile shell 3.. but like I said, it's been at least a month since this last happened... what the heck?!

Mobile Shell could contribute to the problem but it's not the root. I didn't have Mobile Shell on my phone when it happened the first 2 times. Now I do and it still happens. IDK what to do.. good thing there's Dashwire.
Out of curiosity.. anyone with this problem have Twikini?
Sorry for the double post but it seem's Twitter's WinMo client "Twikini" is the culprit.
My fiance has a diamond. The moment she installed Twikini, it did this to her phone. Running with that, I hard reset my phone yesterday and installed one program, if you must know, it was Bejeweled 2. Immediately after, I installed Twikini and it happened again on my phone.
We tried it once more after I hard reset my phone and installed first one software. This time it was SPB Finance. Then we installed Twikini and it happened again.
I'm positive this is my problem... at least with my Touch Pro and Diamond.
This may not be the case for everyone but it certainly the case for us.

Brilliant device this....
I noticed that the entries in Timescape were not appearing in chronological order, so in order to jog it a bit i tried the various otions in the settings. One was to have Timescape as "home-page". Bad move, it would seem. Now, whenever I turn the phone on all I get is a big window with: "Sorry! The application Timescape has stopped unexpectedly. Please try again". The only option offered is a "Force close" button. This brings me back to the same window. I am at a loss.
Anyone know how to fix this? If not does anyone know how to factory reset the phone using the HW-buttons?
Help!

Did you find the awnser? If so, please post it.
Nope. No answer. I did call the support-desk at SE however, and got to talk to a real live person. Pretty service-minded I think, not something I'm aware that HTC does. His solution to my problem was to update the SW on the web. He assured me that I would get the same SW reinstalled as if doing a factory reset....
Didn't work, of course, but after fiddling with the hung Timescape app some more I got it to terminate properly and I could then do a factory reset from the phone. Oh well, all's well that ends well, I guess.
Cheers,
M
Go to Settings\SD card & Phone Storage
Under Internal Phone Storage, Click Factory Dat Reset.

Hi there, a long time reader of this forum. First time posting and grateful for any advice please?
Will keep it brief, Galaxy S3, phone works but black screen. Cannot see or do anything with it but can hear it working and see notification light etc. About to send it in to be repaired by Three UK. They have advised me it will be reset and lose all data. I obviously don't want that to happen but I've been either too (a) stupid or (b) lazy to back up before, take your pick which one.
Question is, is there any way I can back up now without being able to work the screen? Can I view the screen and control the phone on the PC somehow? I've searched other threads and found a mention of androidscreencast but it seems that is for rooted phones only? Mine is standard stock Three UK firmware, never been touched etc.
Any advice or help is greatly appreciated folks, thank you.
Teamviewer quicksupport. You'll have to kind of guess the location of the notification and the app etc though. I know there's yhe adb backup option if you wish to try it.
Lemme add to this when I get home. Will try figure out whereabouts you need to touch to get the app set up. Don't try downloading it yet.
[Edit] tried it and it won't work. Too much typing and sharing code involved to see it work properly. I guess you have the adb option left.

Hi all!
I have a strange thing happening with my father's phone... (s2 not rooted)
When I try to install Skype I get a message that I can't "uninstall" the program and that I have to free more memory. Hmm...
He had Skype installed before but uninstalled it awhile ago but is now in need of it again.
I don't have a clue what to do...never seen that error before!
Can anyone help me?

Hi!
Thanks for your answer as well!
Yes a dialog appears with the options "manage apps and cancel". But the strange thing is that memory wise there's no problem and even more strange...it doesn't refer to that I want to install it but rather that I can't uninstall it even though it's not installed???
I will post a screen shot later this weekend, I hope that u guys still will look at my post and maybe can give me some feedback then!
/zwooosh
PS. I hope to not have to factory reset the phone...It wound suck for only the problem with skype! If I do a reset it will erase all data (including all apps) right? I hope to avoid that too.
I forgot to say that I can install all other kinds of apps from the store...hmm!?
Yeah, don't factory reset it just for skype. See if any skype leftovers are found in you device, check folders and whatnot.
Waiting for that screen shot tho.
