Reset/reflash
Hi
That sounds like a software problem. If it doesn't sort itself out you could start with a soft reset: long press the power and down volume together. If that doesn't fix it, you may need to do a full hard reset. Go into settings, about phone and then hit "reset phone". This will obviously wipe all your personal data.
If you hard reset, there is a chance that the phone will be "bricked", i.e. Go to a screen with a lightning symbol and a gear permanently. If this happens there is a video tutorial on how to reflash the ROM using Nokia Care Suite.
Hope you get it sorted.
God bless

I had to do a hard reset in the end.

XDA freezes/hangs on Startup after soft reset

Hi
I installed piece of Software called GPS Assist to acompany by TomTom Nav software. Big Mistake.
Did a Soft Reset, and it gets to the Today screen, displays half the items on it (sometimes less or more after every reset) and then just freezes.
Tapping the screen or any hardware buttons wont do anything. Im guessing something that runs for GPS Assist is starting on bootup, and freezing it.
I really dont want to do a Hard Reset, I've been careless lately and not backed it up in quite a while.
Is there anything I can do, some way of getting into the bootup and stopping services..or anything like that ?
Thanks
David

Hey, for me have the same issue. but i tried installing Transformer 1.1.... Even I tried Hard reset... not working... have u found the solution????
I am using HTC ELF...
If any one have solution plz post it...
probably you will have to hard reset it, it has been a long time since i used a wallaby, you should of installed a program called safe mode which allows you to do what it says and go into safe mode on the pocket pc, spb pocket plus has a similar function too. This would of at least allowed you to boot up the wallaby and uninstall the offending program.
have you tried just leaving it on for half an hour ,connected to the pc. it might not be actually crashing just locked in a never ending loop?
And you did hold the power button in while using the stylus to reset(A hard reset) not just used the stylus to reset(Soft reset)?

Atom Crash

I have to hard rest the phone every 5 days as it hang up. Hang up always starts with ring tone become silent and then no response on the screen.
I have 2G memory and have the following programmes installed:
SPB Weather, SPB Time and SyncClient for synchronization with Novell GroupWise.
Can anyone advise?
I have to say, I have'nt had to reset my atom in a long, long time.
Try uninstalling those programs and see if it makes any difference.

Thanks Tom, I also have 2G memory card will it make any difference?
It shouldn't - I am running apps from mine at the moment without problem.
Thanks a lot, it has been stable for more than a week after removing some of the programmes. But now every few days the speaker turn itself to silent and I can't get any ring tone. I soft rest and go back to normal. I ahve to do this every few days.
Did you have same prob, and how can I fix it.
reflash the rom!
Do you mean hard rest? if different how can I reflash?
Ah Ah Ah...
It not only a simple hard-restart your device, but upgrade your ROM to the latest, then try to find if it is better.
I already have the latest, should I connect to PC and reload the new upgrade again?
definately, use the bootloader mode....ie. camera+softreset button together then plugin USB to PC and run DSUU

o2 XDA II software upgrade disaster

Hi
Unfortunately I was in the middle of upgrading the software to version 172181 when I decided, for some strange reason, to pick the phone up out of the cradle and make a call. DOH!
I can no longer get the phone to boot up / turn on it is just stuck on the low light o2 backscreen and shows
r 1.17.00
g 1337.20
d 1.72.00wwe
Im quite literally just stuck on that screen, the phone wont seem to reset, reboot or hard reset or turn on or off.
I assume im doing the hard reset correctly on/off button and reset button with stylus.
I did see somewhere to use the on/off button, camera button, record button and reset button with stylus but this does not appear to work either.
I don't know whether the condition is terminal or not but anyone can help i would really appreciate it I have a lot of information on there that is very valuable to me.
hi

Thanks
would you happen to know if there is any way I can manage my contacts from the pc? i searched activesync and there appears to be nothing there. My old motorola bought up kind of a virtual phone on the pc and managing and adding contacts was easy.

It's bcoz the flashing/upgrading/installing of ur fone seems not to be finished. Always follow instruction. If you really want to do something, think twice so you never messed up. nweiz, try to load it again in bootup mode and re-flash it. there are a lot of ROM for the Himalaya, you can download one. Try to search. again, FOLLOW INSTRUCTIONS!

Help!

Hi all
I have a Lobster 700tv phone which I think is brilliant, but I'm looking to upgrade the software from mobile 5 to mobile 6. I have windows xp on my pc is this possible?
The reason I'm asking is that my phone is somehow stuck in headset mode (even without the headset plugged in) and I can't figure out on how to get it back to normal. Even when the phone rings, I get the ring tone, but have to plug in the headset to answer the call. (I've done a cold reboot and it's done no good). I took it to a phone repair shop yesterday and they've said that it's a software error.
Has anyone else had the same sort of problems?
Or if anyone can advise on a possible solution (apart from throwing it out of the window!) I'd be grateful.
Thanks
If its a software issue a hard reset should bring you back im not sure what a cold reboot is so you may have tried this, also never heard of your phone so i wouldnt know ho to hard reset. If hard reset doesnt work then you will probably have to flash a new rom, possibly to wm6 if you can find the rom.My advice is lots of searching and reading... good luck
wm6 won't come soon to my and your lobby's screen
it requires a LOT of time to be done, special tools, extracted ROM for the operation and so on, (btw the phone isn't very commercial, wide-spread and so on, which is demotivating programmers)
ANYWAY, now on the topic:
you can try the CLEAR STORAGE option
found in accessories, it does almost fully hard-reset the phone, but preserves DAB app (I read somewhere, that hard resetting did remove the app, but I'm not sure now...)
anyway, here's how to do the hard reset:
1. Press and hold soft1 and soft2 keys (i.e. menu keys).
2. Press and hold power button for around 1 to 1.5 seconds. Release power button. Keep holding both soft keys.
3. After a while, black screen should show instructions asking user to press '0' key to reset to factory default.
4. Press '0' within the timeout period (which is very brief).
If instructions don't appear on the screen, repeat steps 1 to 4.
it'll show the boot screen, and afterwards a black background with the typings, quickly press 0 to reset, sit and wait
as usual, backup all contacts, data, apps, stuff like that, and then do the job

Hi there Prodigyfied,
Greetings from cloudy and overcast England.
Thanks again for the info.
I've tried what you've suggested, and it's still the same. Do you or anyone else have any other ideas?
Thanks
Paula
Sorry I didn't see this thread sooner!
it is a common fault with HTC phones and is a hardware issue - here is one of the MANY threads on modaco
http://www.modaco.com/content/HTC-T...aCo-com/229405/C500-Stuck-on-Headset-profile/
Should have enough suggestions to get you working!
Good luck.
Thank you
Thanks Confusious,
The suggestion in that other thread has done the trick.
You've made my day
Thank you.

[Q] Camera button not working

Hello
Had an interesting thing happen to Lumia 920 this morning. all of a sudden the hard camera button is not responsive.
Turned it off and on? Have done a soft reset also. No luck. I cannot try a hard reset as the hardware button is not working. Any solutions ?? Dont want to do a complete reset as have heaps of info that I do not want to lose (any good backups that would bring my reset phone to current status game levels, sms, pdf files etc would be appreciated also) plus the fact the hardware button is not working
Sorry if this has happened to someone and it has its own thread
