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,

Go to Settings\SD card & Phone Storage
Under Internal Phone Storage, Click Factory Dat Reset.
Hope This Helps

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.
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.

PS: I'm a English learner.
I have an issue that I cannot pinpoint the cause of figure out a solution to. Maybe someone here can help.
My Sprint G3 is always crashing and rebooting the launcher (phone doesn't turn off, just closes evwrything). I'd be in the middle of any app and it will randomly close every single app. The running apps page always displays after every crash. It's as if too much ram is being used, but it will happen even after a fresh phone restart and launching something simple like WhatsApp.
My phone is rooted via the Stump one click method. I don't have any type of rooted mods enabled, only Adfree. I use Nova launcher (paid & updated).
Is there some sort of event viewer that will log the activity of the phone so I probably someone here can see what might be causing the phone to crash? I'm tempted to Unroot and restore back to stock... But if I can avoid that, I'd greatly appreciate it.

If you're running ART that could cause that. Go back to dalvik and see if that cures it.

Maybe it's Adfree then. There's a special version that some people are using. It's in it forum somewhere. I'll see if I can find it.
In the meantime, uninstall it and see if it goes away.

Thanks. I've reverted my adfree hosts file and uninstalled it. But I think the issue persists. If I try to use any app that clears cache, specifically Clean Master, when it's doing the scan of apps it'll crash midway through the scan. If I go to system settings > Apps & wait for all the downloaded apps to load the details, it'll crash there too.
This is the oddest thing.
Edit:
This visual may help. It's a video of me running Clean Master & seeing how it just crashes. I can replicate this issue every time like this, but the crashes are random when using other apps.
Link to video: https://docs.google.com/file/d/0B9-N9bB35E-QdnY3Zk1FaW9EMXM/edit?usp=docslist_api
Ok, so I began uninstalling some apps that I thought may have been the issue... Which they weren't as the crashing still continues. I decided to reboot under safe mode and the problem occurs there too.
I honestly cannot recall if this began before or after rooting with stump. I may have to Unroot & factory restore. =/

I'm at a loss... The 2 things I mentioned can be the culprits, but not for you I guess. Some other ideas?
Did you uninstall Stump after getting root?
Have you froze or uninstalled any system apps/ priv-apps?
It might even be Nova is having issues.
That's all I got.

Thank you for your help. Nova was one of the apps I removed. I did remove the stump app after rooting & did not freeze/remove any system critical apps/files. I'm also at a loss.
I would try a restore to stock as the final option. If that doesn't fix it then I dunno man.

Tried to unroot but the phone doesn't move past the "Firmware Update. Do not unplug the phone..." screen after holding Volume Up & plugging into the computer. I installed the drivers before hand. But the "CDC Serial" doesn't update. I attempted to manually update the driver by browsing for the folder, but no go.
I may end up having to go to Sprint and exchange the phone for another one.

TL;DR version = Yes, I did fix it. Factory restore did the trick.
A few days after my last post the phone wasn't as bad as the video. It would still crash and reset but mainly after heavy app usage or when trying to clear app cache using any app like Clean Master.
Once my storage reached about 40% used and I couldn't clear the cache, I began to get constant Play Store error messages. No apps would update. I think it was error 483 or something close to hat number.
Since I couldn't flash back to stock because the drivers wouldn't install, I gave up and tried a factory reset. I nearly sh-t myself bc once I confirmed the restore, the phone didn't want to automatically reset per the instructions. I pressed the button multiple times and nothing. I pulled the battery and when I turned it back on, I got the initial screen with the "powered by android" and then black. It did not wanna do anything. Pulled battery again, same outcome. It left it for maybe 10min and still nothing.
I was ready to go back to sprint and see if I could exchange the phone. While researching the closest store, the phone beeped and the initial android setup screen appeared. This was about 25min of waiting on a black screen.
The phone is now back to working order and it's still rooted. There must have been a corrupt file that was erased/restored once the g3 decided to behave.

Congrats!
My G3 is crashing in the similar manner as the video you uploaded.
Except that it only happens when I'm in office connected to office wifi with almost no cellular reception.
On top of that, as far as I could tell... only two apps are causing the launcher to crash... the game Clash of Clans and LINE.
Very very strange....
All,
I keep getting an error message when trying to share a contact or really change any permissions for my apps that says "turn off screen overlay in App>Settings"
There is no setting and if I go directly there from the prompt, and turn all of the apps, it still will not work. This has been happening for the past week and I can not figure this out........
I keep finding other people say to factory reset it. We had to factory reset my wifes device due to a seperate issue and it is happening to hers as well. Is this because of the most recent update or is there some way I can fix it.
Thanks,
Adari

Most likely it is Facebook Messenger that causes this. Force close it before changing permission and it should work. It's because the Chat Heads are displayed as an "overlay" over the entire screen regardless what you are doing. This somehow prevents some buttons to work specifically changing permissions and stuff.

Thanks for the help. I turned off all of the apps that had the drawing permission before. I turned them back on and left messenger off like you said. It worked great. I tried turning it back on and it started messing up again. Thanks for the solution!!
My phone has been hacked into and it seems they can enter whenever. I was given a Samsung Galaxy S GT-I9000m by a friend, and it's running Froyo 2.2 and the hardware is that of windows (NOW), not my doing. Would an upgrade get rid of those who switch my settings during the night. Should I put a different operating system in...most of this being as clear as mud to me! I can't even download apps without them knowing and they would just join the rest of the grayed out ones. I am beginning to think how far would a Galaxy S skip as I toss it across the river.
Any suggestions would be of help as to what to do about this dilemma.
Have you done a factory reset? I would definitely suggest doing that. If you're rooted I'd make a backup and factory reset. See if that clears up your problem. Also once you have done a factory reset change your passwords to your email (Gmail etc ..) accounts. Whatever you do don't change your passwords until after you've done a factory reset because it may lock you out otherwise for 72 hours.

Let me know how that goes. Factory reset usually takes away any type of spyware on a device if something's been installed.

Thank you, I have done a factory reset, used *#*#7780#*#*, and *2767*3855# many a time with no luck. Whoever it is put a small package in my phone and I only have half the features available. I have tried to erase the ram but get caught. As far as passwords they got into my GMail through GSuite and I have 2 step verification on it using printed out codes. I've notified Google.

I'd do a factory reset in stock recovery.
I believe you can get into stock recovery by pressing volume up, power and home buttons all at the same time then release em all when it reboots. Should get you to stock recovery. I dont use dialer codes. I've been messing with phone's since HTC Evo and Galaxy S2 days. I've never had a virus that a factory reset didn't wipe out. (And a change of my passwords and security checkup.)
Remember if someone logs into your gmail account it will have your phone model as the device that logged in but it's NOT.
I always delete all recognized devices too...
Hope that helps. If so please hit the thanks button as I'm trying to be able to make posts on here and can't till I have 10, not on certain threads anyway.... Lmao.
I hope you solve this issue though.
