Ive had this tmobile mda for about a year and it was telling me that its memory was dangerously low or something. so i told it to clear all text messages cause there was like 5000. i figured it would take a half a day or so and i just left it. after a day it was still lagging and pretty much not responding or answering calls or texts or anything so i pulled out the battery to reset it. when i put the battery back in every soft key short cut button i pushed resulted in error message saying, error opening the shortcut or locating the target filename. when i enter the start menu everything is gone except for 'today', 'calupd', and 'coldinit'. all of these are dead shortcuts. its like all the memory of the phone (pocket windows) is gone. how do i go about trying to fix it. i can 'explore' on microsoft activesync, but it tells me when i tried to upgrade the software, that it is not connected.
even a nudge in the right direction would be helpful
Try to Hard Reset your device after backing up.
Punching Reset hole (Next to IR window) while holding CommManager and VoiceDial, then you will be presented a black screen with white text, press "Dial" to wipe all user data.

Hey guys,
I have a couple of things that bother me about this phone. I didn't have these problems when I first got it so I'm trying to figure out why this happens.
First off, when I get a phone call, sometimes I can't answer it. I will be pressing the Answer button both on the screen and the actual hardware key... it will never go to the connected call button even though it shows I'm in call.
Next is the issue I have with the End Button. Sometimes I accidently press it and it terminates my data connection. Is there anyway to make the End key serve as just a hang-up/go back to the home screen type key? I would love to see this issue fixed.
Thanks for your time.
*UPDATE* : I just realized that when I'm in a data connection, it sometimes won't let me answer or I will have to press Answer 30 times for it to get into a call. It seems like a very slow transition from Data to Voice. Any ideas?
You can set the end key to do other things in the settings menu someplace. Look for it. Have it give you a list, instead of doing an automatic feature.
I just did a hard reset and it fixed everything.
Hello!
The main bugs I get with my Rose on Uk Orange is the soft key that interacts with the home screen.
Sometimes when I get a message or email it doesn't display on the home screen and when highighting the sms or email panel pressing "inbox" does nothing. Instead I have to hit start and go into messages that way.
A reboot solves this. But it does it a bit to often for it to be ok. Should I reboot my smartphone once every day like a PC?
Also the answer key occasionally plays up. Either it doesn't work when answering a call or when pressing "call" from the contacts list it just takes you straight to the number dial screen. Odd. A reboot does normally solve it but not always.
Can't find any hot fixes on the HTC site. Looks like there isn't a new ROM available for it as yet. What can I do!? I love the Rose but it annoys me a bit!
Thanks in advance.
If I were you I'd make a back-up of the files on your device by syncing it with a PC and then hardreset it by going to: start - desktop tools (or something like that) - clear storage. Might be helpful.
bought a HERO a month ago.
Initially things were fine, but then the phone has developed a lot of lag.
When I tap the PHONE button at the bottom of the home screen, it takes almost 3-4 seconds before the keypad comes up.
When I click on an Email account, it takes up to 5 seconds for the email list to load, and an equal amount of time before a tapped email opens up.
All this used to happen in less than a second earlier. I have not installed any apps from the market which are running at any time, and even loading up the phone in safe mode has not made a difference.
Also, the trackball is not being very responsive. It takes a good amount of pressing it before moving it around for the trackball to work. Is the trackball supposed to not do anything if moved very lightly, or if i just brush it softly with my finger and it moves, but nothing happens on the screen? It works only if there is significant pressure on the trackball.
htc has a stock answer for everything "HARD RESET". i don't even know if there is a way to backup all the data including contacts, messages etc and then put them back again after a hard reset.
I wonder if the phone is defective in some way?
Just flash a new ROM. Also, I know many people will disagree with me, but get TasKiller (the one by Thibaut Nicholas), as kill all the tasks. When the phone starts functioning again, go to TasKiller and ignore all the tasks that start up first (should be the bare minimum ones), and then turn on Auto-Taskkill. This way when you put the phone to sleep, all the running tasks except for the necessary ones will be killed. I've found this keeps my phone very fast
My stock Verizon GS3 waits a while before it makes a call.
I can click on a favorite, dial a number directly, or select someone from my contact list. When I hit dial, the phone does nothing for up to two minutes. It remains completely usable (I can surf the web on 4G, open and close apps, whatever). Just no phoning. Then, after a delay of anywhere from seconds to two minutes, it will suddenly dial the number. From then on, it works the way it should. The next time I try to dial, assuming I have waited a bit, it all happens again. If I try using the phone right away after it has sort of "woken up" to the fact that it should dial numbers, then I can continue to dial new numbers without a delay. Only after it sits a bit does it get stuck again. If I try to hit the "dial" button a number of times (aka, retry dialing because the phone isn't doing what it should) it queues these requests up and once it gets unstuck, it will dial all the numbers one after the other.
This issue also affects two other widgets (and nothing else that I can ascertain). These are the Assistive Light widget and the Negative Colors widget. They behave the exact same as the dialer. I can hit them as many times as I want, and it will simply seem to ignore my button presses. But, after a delay of up to two minutes, suddenly every button press I hit will be queued up and executed all at once (causing the screen to flash negative and positive, and the flash to go on and off a bunch of times).
I am running go launcher and the stock android 4.0.4 on Verizon.
Some specific questions:
1) What should I look for in the logs to indicate that the phone is placing a call (or handling the Assistive Light request)? I have tried to isolate the portion of the logs around when this happens but they are so dense I have no idea if I am even looking in the right area.
2) I occasionally see "VoIPInterfaceManager" referenced in the logs, but as far as I know I am not using VoIP (I had skype installed at one point but then deleted it when this problem started thinking that maybe it was interfering, but to no avail). Is this in any way relevant?
3) I have an extra SD card installed (yanked from my old DroidX). Could that be the issue? I just pulled it out again, but the phone does not always misbehave, just sometimes (say, 75% of the time) and it just happens to be playing nice right now even before I pulled the card so I don't know if it helped or not.
4) Is there anything I can do to start diagnosing this issue (i.e. apps to try to diagnose what is going on, developer modes to put the phone in)? How about anything people can suggest to even start narrowing down what the culprit may be (hardware? downloaded app? os?)
Thanks, and sorry for the long posting. This is making me nuts.

So several days have passed, and it appears to still be working. I suspect the sd card was the culprit. No idea why. But I am a happy camper again.
I have a Xiaomi Redmi Note 4X, which I started using around March. Lately, I have been facing an issue which has left me troubled a lot. My Note 4X seems to be in a bootloop.
Around two weeks ago, I was casually using my phone in college. I had put around 25 apps on download from Google playstore. Alongside, whatsapp was running. I usually take pics of my lectures, so when the teacher had written on the board, and was about to erase, I quickly attempted to go to the home screen, by clicking the home button ( middle button), so I could launch the camera app, and take the pic. But, the phone didn't go to the home screen, and stayed at the app being used. However clicking on the recent apps (the left button), the two running apps showed. However, as I didn't have much time, I did what came in my mind. Reboot the phone. Unfortunately, as soon as it booted back, the screen remained black.
Its been like this for two weeks now. Whenever I turn it on, It will show the Mi logo, then the Android logo simultaneously below it ( Like usual when it boots), but after that, the screen goes black. Touching the three buttons at the bottom of the phone make the back-lit underneath light up along with a vibration(Like usual). Clicking the touchscreen gives a vibration. If a sim card is put inside, and a call made to the inserted sim card's phone number, the phone starts ringing as usual, however, still with a black screen. Another major issue I experience other than the black screen, is that the top right of the phone becomes really really hot as time progresses( within minutes)(This never happened before), and the battery drains really fast too. I get freaked out because of this( I think it might explode or catch fire), so I quickly turn off the device, after some tinkering.
I have been trying to find a solution since the past two weeks. Hard pressing the Volume Up+ Start button takes me into MiRecovery 3.0, which offers 3 options, 1.Reboot, 2. Wipe Data, 3. Connect To MiSuite. Going into 2 gives the option " Wipe All data" only, and 3 is seemingly useless the MiSuite doesn't support new versions of Android. Hard pressing the Volume Down+Start button takes me to FastBoot. It should be noted, that in both MiRecovery 3.0, and Fastboot, the phone doesn't warm up really fast, as it does when booted normally, and rather remains cool even if left for quite sometime in these modes (approx 30 minutes atleast).
The main thing I'm trying to achieve is to backup the data on my phone, mainly the photos (lecture notes), and whatsapp data. The rest of the app-data isn't that much important, albeit if also savable, it would be a bonus.
I haven't tried flashing any ROMs, recovery, or anything else, as I'm afraid the data may be erased, and as I have never done anything like this before. Also, my phone isn't rooted, as I didn't feel the need for it to be.
Help is highly appreciated. I hope to be able to safely extract my data, and be able to start using my phone again.
Thanks to advance to all those who reply.
Guys?
