Well i need some get. this is not my 1st PPC since i have had thr 6700, titan and not the touch pro but i guess i dont know what im doing...
so i downloaded a few cabs, nothing big. i dont mess with a lot. got some themes, lumos, touch response etc.
i the problems started when i downloaded my last theme but im not 100 % sure that was what caused the problem. i did use advance config and change some things but nothing major, just some setting on the program that said "advised"
well, i had problems and i wanted to delete everything and start over but i couldnt delete a theme.
to make a story short, i was at the mall today and stopped by the sprint store to see if the tech could help me...
some how files got delete and from what i was told the tech couldnt even do a master reset!!! she couldnt figure it out... the phone works but its missing some things.
can i fix this? download a custom ROM? and use that?
i wouldnt think advance config can delete something, or a theme.... i dont know what i did but something happened.
any help would be great
thanks
hold power, down volume and ok button all while pushing the reset button. release the reset button but continue to hold the other three untill the phone reboots into the hard reset menu. hit the volume up button and tada bobs your uncle. if that doesnt work selet clear memory in the settings menu and follow the prompts
the sprint tech couldnt get it to work. she tired a master reset and nothing. they said files where missing.
she has the same phone and tired a lot of things
i dont get how i can erase files like this, i didnt mess with any files... the only thing i have done is download simple cabs
i did use advance config but once again i didnt delete anything. just selected what it said was best.
If I'm hearing you correctly you need to do a Hard Reset....
To do so there are two ways:
First way:
While phone is OFF, press volume down, cener d-pad, and power button until message comes on. Press volume up to complete.
Second way:
While phone is on, press volume down, center d-pad, and stylus-reset until message comes on
it wont do a hard reset
i have done it, sometimes it beeps... i get the htc logo and thats about it. i never get a message or anything, it just goes black like a soft reset
the only diff is that it wont show the sprint logo like when i have done a soft reset... it shows the htc logo
now im worried about downloading cabs. i never had this problem. and i didnt delete anything from the phone. so i dont know who those important files they say are missing got deleted.
the guy at the sprint store on base dialed ##786# and hit the call button, he says that will do a reset or something... and it wouldnt work
nothing else? no one else has a idea of what happened
this is my 3rd ppc and this is a 1st, it would be nice to know what could have cause this problem so i dont do it again.
you guys are no help
Have you tried flashing the ROM over on it? Will it connect to the computer via Activesync?

LMAO!! Now that's funny. The guy at the sprint store doesn't have a clue.
If you do ##786# on the Sprint phone, it should bring up a EPST screen. Which when you press menu, there is an option to reset it, however I doubt that does anything to solve your problem.
I would suggest, trying to flash the ROM back on the phone (if you haven't tried that already)
i have never connected the phone using activesync... i just got the phone like 2 weeks ago ( replaced my mogul)
i was thinking about trying that but havent done it for 2 reasons
1. i have never flashed a ROM
2. im getting a new TP, it has been ordered... if i get to keep the one i have now i will try to flash but i dont want to try it if i have to give up the phone. only to have to change it back
i do want to find out why this happened. like i said, i like to add themes and other programs i like but im worried about messing my new one and then ill be out of luck.

ive seen this discussed somewhere else, maybe it was ppcgeeks, but the problem is, i lose text messages when i soft reset.
i dont have much information about it, but if i soft reset soonafter a soft reset, or even an hour or so after a string of text messages, they will sometimes just not be there any more.
anyone have any idea why this is happening, or more importantly how to fix it?
thanks
i would really like some info on this. i cant offer any help other than verifying that it happens to me too. i think it has happened with both sms and mms too actually. i dont like it though
The only way I've been able to save my SMS when I reset is by holding the button to power the phone off rather than using the stylus to reset. Every time I use the reset button I lose info. Power the phone down, then turn it back on. Should help.
Sounds alot like a cache issue.... Sometimes things get put into mem cache and will be saved later when enough has been stored.... I do not know how to adjust it tho.... I'd say that between the 3 of you, there is a common program that you have installed that may be changing the way your messages are stored.... just a theory on my part, cuz I don't have that issue....
Perhaps 1 of you can flash the ROM from the 3.2.0 post and install nothing but your carrier and then send a bunch of SMS messages. Then do a soft reset to see if they stay....!
are you running a cooked rom?
i recall having this on pre 6.1 roms, though you will always risk data loss if you suddenly soft reset your device with the reset button instead of powering it down properly
i have used the same apps on my phone for a while and only started noticing this messaging issue recently. the more i think about it i think it might have started once i started using 6.1 roms. before that i was just on alltels updated stock rom and this didnt happen. but on both no2chems 5069k and now dcd's 3.2 it happens.
so..maybe its a 6.1 issue? maybe a 6.1 cache issue? all of these 6.1 roms we are using are going to have bugs so this is what im guessing.
just read the post directly above mine...... so maybe im wrong.
anyone else offer any suggestions?
This is definitely a cache issue I discovered some time ago, I think even with 6.0. If you use the reset button or pull the battery within an hour or less of doing text messaging you have to shut down Outlook/SMS first so that it will write the cache to the database.
I'm on Verizon.. This has happened to me even with the stock ROM. Not only do new text messages disappear, but if you delete all your text messages.. then reset.. they are all back.
It does appear to be a cache issue. It takes some time before changes are permanent I guess.
This happened to me on Stock with original Arcsoft, Also on DCD ROM 3.1.2, 3.1.6, 3.2.0.. with various Arcsoft versions 5.xx.
I have found no way to change this.. but I haven't checked all the reg keys for a setting that might do this. If I discover one, I'll post back.
ok. so i flashed my fuze to energy rom 1.5 final yesterday and it was working fine and dandy. so today i was doing the usual on the phone, msn messenger, internet, etc. i was experiencing some slow down, so i figured i would soft reset the phone to get it up and running again . once i did the reset, however, it it just got stuck at the white world att screen. it doesn't run anymore. its on the white ATT world phone page, and is stuck there. somebody help. what should i do? i tried connecting to mobile device center but it's not detecting the connection to the phone.

Did you try to put the phone in bootloader mode ? Maybe could give it a try (reset and vol down) and try flashing a new rom.
Had a similar problem and freaked cuz thought I had a 3 day old Bricked Fuze. Should be no worries. Just hold down the Down volume button and also the Center button while sticking the stylus in the reset button. Should come up with the tri color screen. Do what it says to restore. Just to let you know anything that you had saved on the phone would be forever lost. IMO a very small sacrifice to get my phone back.

I guess you should have posted this on the ROMs thread, in case it's a ROM bug, but if the suggestions above don't work for you, you might have a bad flash. Try reflashing and make sure you hard reset again right at the "tap the screen to setup device" screen. And just to try to make it as safe as possible, try removing the SD card, you never know.......
i just notticed today that wheni call my voicemail none of the phone onscreen buttons work
keypad,end call, speaker etc are all non functional. i have to press the hardware key to end call.
im using CHT EDITOR with stock TMO rom
could be 2 things related to MinimumTapTime for screen sensitivity:
1. Do you have BSBtweak installed? DO NOT change the MinTapTime setting. Revert it.
2. Did you do tweak#44 MinTapTime from SBOY2000's HD2 tweaks thread? change that value back to what it was.
didnt tweak anything ust used bsb tweaks and changed it back to normal
still same.
at the moment i cant even get to the phone screen
the phone is completely fn cracked out.
im seriously on losing my patience with this sht, 3 phones cant be all having same issues thats just impossible unless the OS is ****.
yesterday i installed the WCX ILLUMINATI SERIES HD2 EURO/TMOUS 21911 2017
rom and it worked fine
call screen worked and keypad as well
i installed the BSB tweaks and cookie tab home
and getting same thing now the whole call screen is inactive
cant even push the hardware end button to end the call
and an error popped out:
a problem has occured with cprog.exe
the phone is very buggy in general with the cookie tab and bsbtweaks
ok so i just tested with both of them setup separately and both of them make my phone screen go stupid.
with bsb tweaks it doesnt turn on at all
with cookie tab it calls but then none of the buttons work on it not even hardware end call...
god damn i hate this phone, less than a week i own it and im about to throw it at the wall.
is anything supposed to work with microsoft at all?
wtf is active about active sync? it takes 50 tries to get one connection
sorry for the language but this is relaly fn frustrating.

You returned the phone twice because you keep installing an incompatible program and getting an error????????? Then why do you keep installing that program??????????? You're giving WindowsMobile users a bad name.
*HINT 1:Check what date BSBTWEAK was made. IT IS NOT MADE FOR THE TMO USA HD2! If somehow you feel you must use it, DO NOT FIDDLE WITH THE "TAP TIME" SETTING WITHIN BSBTWEAK.
*HINT 2: DISABLE COokie's Home Tab Lockscreen, it causes more trouble than it's worth.

Hello all! ...
I installed BsB onto my phone and it worked fine. I installed it on my wife's phone, and altering the Tap Time resulted in her screen not responding to the icons (speaker phone, hold, etc) while in a call. My phone did not have that problem. I did a hard reset and reinstalled everything except BsB and her phone is now fine ...

"in case this helps anyone: one of the tweaks would free my phone when in a call (not the whole phone, just the phone screen) so i couldn't bring up a the keypad or go to speakerphone, etc. I figured out it was the "tap time" tweak. i'm using the usa t-mobile hd2." (pg. 117) haven't seen the menu issue but if you have it backed up might as well save time and do the hard reset. i wonder if chainfire might be the issue there.

The OP doesn't take suggestions well. He just comes on here to vent about how he can't make his phone work.
Hi guys , had a weird problem with my end call/power button.
Out of no where my end call button stopped working. I've found its most annoying because i usually press it to turn the screen off ( lock the screen)
The button doesnt appear to be broken or anything and doesnt work when i press hard
I did a software factory reset this morning via the phone and the button started working again! but its gone 3 hours later again!
I havent recently installed anything and it appeared out of the blue... any help??!
Same problem here! Nothing helped, hard reset, another custom rom, back to stock rom and radio...nothing. Hardware failure, I suspect. Sending it back to factory under warranty. Never had a hardware problem before in 12 yrs using mobile phones.
kinda fixed it now, dont know how though, did a hard rest and formatted mem card, removed everything and didnt reinstall half the stuff i used to have inc all the cabs from here.
its working now on the new rom just fine, but its the first time its happened to me too, and i didnt even do anything !
try a hard reset and wipe and reinstall youre old cabs at ure own risk!

I am really annoyed guys!! help me out guys!!
any solution mine too is not working since last night did hard rest but still no luck
my mother just bought an sgs2 about 1 week ago. she is not that expert in phones and all that, but she has a serious problem now. she made a lockscreen code witch she cant remember now. stupid right. how can u bypass it or dissable it. i must say i have tried my self almost anything i can think of
this is what i my self have tried:
factory reset / hardreset didnt work
flashing stock rom again, didnt work
flashing 3 custom roms didnt work, to mention with root kernels
and no my mom never made an gmail account. she only uses it for calling and sms
so what the hell is there to do??
or do i need take to a samsung service center???
You're likely looking at data loss by factory resetting and overloading it with wrong passwords from recovery mode.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=17039887#post17039887
Though you say you've factory reset already and it didn't work - what didn't work?
when i did factory reset and rebooted the phone, it went okay, and i thought i had dissablet it, but no, when the screens turns black and u want use it again, the lockscreen keeps apper
Can't you just disable it before the screen turns off then? Settings --> Location and security --> Set up screen lock --> None.
no when trying to dissable it asks for the code, u must enter the code before able to dissable, im stuck, what should i do
I just noticed your thread [Q] screen locked, need help.

2 days ago i found a sgs2 on the ground outside at the city. the screen is totally ****ed but it still works. so i thought cool, who ever lost it, should have been more carefully, but honestly i dont care.
but when i turn it on, i can se its on cynogenmode but i cant use cause of some screen password. i have tried everything from re flash og several types of roms, including stock, cynogenmode and exonys, but all appear but it wont install new rom. i cant enter factory mode, cause when i try it says need password. so i cant do a hardreset. i have searched the net for everything, and i have tried almost possible ways to get around that screen lock, but nothing works. so how can i get rid of it??? when i press volume upp with home and turn on button it askes for passworld, when i do it with volume down, i get into odin mode. i have tried 0000 and 00000000 but still dont work. any one can help?? pls
