The device stack from time to time, how can I reset the device without taking out the barratry
Thanks
Open the SIM door or simply hold the power button and select reboot.
How I didn't thought about it, I looked for a Keys combination in order to make sure the Sim Door or the battery cover won't break after a short term.
There is no default key combination to soft reset, you can use third party applications however. I use AEButtonPlus which is tied to my voice prompt button (the one under the volume keys) to issue a soft reset after 3 quick presses.

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Totally wrong.
Press and hold the Comm Manager and Voice Record buttons.
Keep hold of these buttons and momentarily press the soft rest button with the stylus.
Carry on holding the side buttons for about 5 seconds until a black and white warning message appears on the screen
Release the side buttons and press the Green Send key to perform the Hard Reset.
Sounds complicated, but isn't once you know how.
Or you could use Start / Programs / Clear Storage. (I've deleted the shortcut to the latter because it's FAR too dangerous when someone else is playing with your phone!)
So just today I go to make a phone call (HTC P4000 - Canadian CDMA Titan) by hitting the button and nothing happened. I reboot, again nothing happened. I did not make any software changes or drop the phone at all yesterday. It just randomly stopped working. After further testing, the jog wheel works (along with the click on the jog wheel), the directional pad in the middle of buttons below screen (along with the click) works, and the power button on the side (to turn screen off, or hold to be prompted for reboot) works. Everything else does not: the IE and messaging button at the top above the screen, the 2 function keys below the screen, as well as the windows and OK button below that. ALSO along the sides of the phone all buttons do not work (comm manager, camera, voice record, ok.... power does work though keep in mind).
Does this sound like a physical issue or possible software or OS corruption of some sort? What is bizarre to me is that the OK button along the side works, yet the button right below it (comm manager) does not work. It would make sense that this button (the power) would be wired differently as it's more essential i suppose. What are your thoughts? Anything I should try or does this sound 100% like hardware... if it is that's ok cuz I have a warranty through my carrier for the entire length of my contract. Thanks for any tips or advice in advance!
have you tried a hard reset yet worked for me one time with those issues
please i have a vox0101 phone with lock code but forgot my code .can any kindly tell me which buttons to press to hardreset this phone.
To hard reset, turn off the Vox and hold your 2 Soft Keys (the keys next to your D-Pad on each side) and press the Power On, hold the soft keys for a few seconds and you will get a confirmation message - press the Green Start Call button to initiate a hard reset.
Did you forget the code to unlock your screen?
Turn off your phone, then press both soft keys and power on the device. After a short delay release the soft keys and you should be presented with a hard reset confirmation message on a black screen, to then proceed press your green phone button (or even the left softkey works if i remember correctly). PS shame you forgot your code, i did it once and will never again set a code, loosing all my data was a nightmare, anyway good luck
edit: looks like i posted the same time as h4waii, doh oh well.
I have an HTC FUZE and I dropped it in a puddle of water and now the power button is constantly activated even though I am not touching the button. The button still clicks fine but again, the power button is always active. I cannot manually put my phone to sleep, nor can I turn it off using the power button.
My question is, could I remap the power button (long and short) to another button say the PPT button?
thanks
help anyone?
I had a similar problem with my first Fuze and had to get a refurbished replacement from AT&T. In my case the sticking power button caused constant rebooting of the phone. Probably not what you wanted to hear, but I was unable to do anything to unstick the button.
if the power button is just nt working, you can still put your phone to sleep with third paty softwares like psShutXp. But I don't think it is possible to remap it to a different hardware key afaik.

Sometimes, when I go to press the menu key on the phone my keyboard will pop up. When it does, the menu button's light turns off while the back key, search key and home key stay lit. It takes about 7seconds and then the menu button lights back up and I am able to hit the back key to take the keyboard off of the screen. This has happened on my home screen and in several other programs and even in settings menus. Any ideas on this? I'm not tech illiterate, but I can't find anything else on it. I am NOT holding the button down like a long press. I am aware of the fact that this is a normal function otherwise. But, this is acting strangely and very aggravating.
Edit: did a factory reset and deleted any apps having access to keyboard and the hold down menu for keyboard function is no longer there so that may have been a third party app. Hasn't done anything in a few minutes like it had been so maybe I lucked out. I also turned off haptic feedback on softkey presses to see if tmay help
Sent from my Nexus S 4G using XDA Premium App
Okay, I am on the second factory reset and no apps just a fresh nexus s 4g and still persists to do it. It brings up the keyboard every once in awhile hitting the menu button and disables the other soft keys still. Won't let me do anything for about 7ish seconds
I'm having the same problem. Did you ever find a solution?
Your keys are damaged it sounds like. I dropped my nexus s in the pool but caught it just as the bottom hit the water and afterwards the buttons wouldn't work or would all long press. Return it to the company or call your insurance.
