Unscrew the top of your stylus and push it into the smaller hole just below
the headphone jack, press it once to turn the device off then once more to turn it back on, Hard reset completed!

hi. i want to hard reset my atom life. how can i do it?
do assist me. need it as soon as possible. thanks.
This is grabbed from another forum after a google search...
"It's normally press-n-hold the on/off button --> press the reset button.
When the green+red button command appears, let go of the on/off button and press the green n red button simultaneously.
This is the standard Atom series hard reset method. Not sure for Atom Life though"
First, Hold Power button and insert stylus into the reset hole
release power button and remove stylus. you should now see message on the screen saying about hard reset, press and hold both green and red button at the same time until. when it's done system will reboot itself.
what risk if when hard reset the batt getting low?
Hard reset normally takes less than 5 seconds to clear out your older settings. Though you better charge it before hard resetting.
hehe.. if the batt getting low and die . so how?

a.f.a.i.k, ther wont be any critical defects on ur mem-card n my docs.
anyway, hard-reset clears off the saved data in ur "my docs". so it doesnt matter anyway.
its better to avoid such situation wher u dont have much batt left, and still go do a hard-reset.
a hard-reset normally take onli like less than 4-5mins.
unlike flashing in new rom from dsuu mode or sd-flashing mode, wher its safe to keep a 70% lvl of batt b4 start flashing.
hm.. hold power on/off and reset ... i try twice fail.. how?
yes..same with me..how?

To hard reset.
Keep the Power On button pressed. Then put the stylus in the reset hole. Dont leave the power button till you see the hard reset screen.
This is the exact way. I've tried it so many times
1. Hold the RECORD button (the one near the camera button)
2. While RECORD button pressed, with your stylus, push the softreset button (the one at the bottom, in the hole)
3. Hold both button for about 5 seconds
4. Release ONLY the soft reset button first
5. Then the screen will display some hard reset sequence
6. Then you can securely release the RECORD button
Attention, those are the step by step. Missing one sequence, and it will be failed
But, after the hard reset menu apeared, i don't know which menu to select if i need to hard reset my atom life. Any help with this?
How do I soft reset Toshiba TG01. Tried searching with my limited skills but dint get anything.
Try to search in user manual (page 22)
1. "RESET" button under back cover or
2. Press & hold power key for 15 seconds or
3. By software like that.
Thanks a lot...
Should have checked the manual. Most basic thing. With the convenience of internet we get lazy to check the old stuff.
There are a few ways of soft resetting the TG01.
1st you can use the softreset you find in programs like SPB mobile shell and Quickmenu
2nd you can use the soft reset button located under the battery cover.
or 3rd you can press and hold the power button. If the phone has locked up, I find holding the power button in for a couple of minutes turns the phone off, if its not locked up a power off window should pop up on screen.
If you meant "hard reset" then thats a different matter and I think a thread already exists for that.
You can also soft reset by removing the battery
I'm surprised that nobody has mentioned:
1) Remove the battery.
2) Count to 10.
3) Replace the battery.
Soft Reset - Shortcut

If you add the attached shortcut to your device (can be placed where you line, but suggest in ..\windows\start menu) this will allow you to simply tap to achieve exactly the same effect as pressing and holding the Power button. When the device has powered off, then simply press Power to restart; that is a Soft Reset.

I use this app, which is also skinable. Loads of skins available to match your theme.
To avoid to have to remove the back cover when TG01 is blocked, I made a little hole in the back cover!

Slight confusion here.... that is a HARD reset. And as stated will loose all installed apps, settings and data (other than data on uSD Card).

Hi,
Just swapped my note to a Lumia. Running 12070.
I got this issue that the screen don't turn itself off when i leave the phone alone.
The time is set to one minute but nothing happens after that. If i reboot the phone it will work a couple of times as usual, but then after a bit it is the same again.
I have done several factory resets withot any luck. Btw there is something really strange with the factory reset. When i start the phone up after the reset it remembers my Nokia account name? How could that be so? It's like the reset isn't quite resetting everything.
Any ideas?
Thanks.
EDIT:
*facepalm to myself* found the error...
The camera button was half pressed down by the softcover. Now the screen functions normally
But the mystery with remembering my Nokia account after factory reset is still a big ???
soft reset with hardware button, or hard reset with phone menu?
if you really want to hard reset it, try this, hardware method:
presse volume down+power+camera 5 sec together, wait the vibration.
then stop pressing only power button but keep pressure on volume - and camera, wait reboot
tell us

Actually i have tried both methods with the same result.
Very wierd.
My phone is stuck on the boot animation and it will not power off. Hold down the power button and the soft buttons flash but nothing happens. I've held it down multiple times for upwards of a minute and it does nothing. USB plugged in and not. What can I do?

Performing a factory reset using hardware buttons
If you can’t turn Droid DNA on or access settings, you can still perform a factory reset by using the hardware buttons on Droid DNA by HTC.
Press and hold the VOLUME DOWN button, and then press and hold the POWER button.
Wait for the screen with the three Android images to appear, and then release the POWER and VOLUME DOWN buttons.
Press VOLUME DOWN to select FACTORY RESET, and then press the POWER button.

That didn't work either, had already tried that. Ended up taking the cover off the back and physically pulling the battery connector off, that worked... lol. Miss a good ol' hard reset button.
