Hello,
I have a strange feeling that the soft reset is not working as before - the list of programs that I've been using in the start menu is not cleared anymore. And I'm pretty sure before every time after soft-reset the list of used programs was empty. Anybody noticed something like that? Also, my camera is dead - "Unable to initialize device..." - still no solution for that.
A soft reset will not clear your items in the Start Menu.
For the camera issue, it seems there are a lot of people who have this problem, but no solution yet

How can I hard reset Polaris?
Press and hold the Explorer and GPS button (under the phone buttons), and press reset with sylus!
Or use Clear Storage in Setting System.
Problem
Hi, My polaris is crazy, I notice some problems in the way the system is working, contact problems, weather home plugin, always trying to get information, problems with instaling programs, and now I can not enter in bootloader or make a hard reset, when I try it I see the tri color screen but disaper in less a second.
Any idea?
thanks
Did you ever read the manual that came by your device.
They have a troubleshooting section too.
You could also give more specific info on :
- contact problems
- weather home plugin
- always trying to get information
- problems with instaling programs
That would really help us to figure out if you are the one that are doing things not the right way or if it is your device that malfunctions.
PS: don't feel attacked by this post, it's only for making you understand that when you provide little info, we can't really help on the problem.
solved
Problem solved guys,
Don´t fell atacked I undersyand you,
Yes the device was not working good, so I make a Hard Reset, and now everything is ok.
Thanks
Resets Not working
I cannot do a Soft Reset or a Hard Reset on the HTC Touch Cruise (Polaris)
Individually,
Pressing the camera key on the right side does not work, throws an error message - Unable to initialize Camera. Failed to set up the camera device
When I use the Stylus to do a Soft Reset, nothing happens.
Pressing Messaging/GPS + Internet buttons and Soft Rest = No Result.
Any other ways to do a soft/hard reset? Is clear storage ok to do a hard reset, and with a cooked ROM. Thanks for the answer
sraaj, the same problem for me. Did you solve the problem?
Thanks!!! Press and hold the Explorer and GPS button (under the phone buttons), and at the same time press reset with the pen worked perfectly for me. I recovered the phone after I broke it when installing a game.
Thanks,I can hard reset naw
Hi. I have a huge problem. When I press the settings in the Start Menu my phone soft-resets immidiatly.
I dont know why.
As far as I know there is no path to the settings (Like in the windows folder),
But I've tried deleteing and recreating \Windows\Start Menu\Settings.
Nothing works. I dont know if it is some kind of virus or just a bug. Most likely its the registry that is messed up.
I haven't installed any programs on my phone recently and I use the LG KS20.
If I dont get a response quickly I will make a hard reset (If so, I will tell that on this thread).
The only time that this happens is usually when there is a major failure afaik and that you may have deleted a vital file. If you have everything backed up prior to the incident, just hard reset the device and pull up the back-up.
Well, I could't wait anymore without my settings so I made a hard reset,
And it worked.
Most likely the registry had been messed up, But its back to usual now.
Thanks for the help, Everyone who posted of this thread
hard reset is always the most secure solution
Has anyone else had this issue? The Messages Option on the TouchFlo 2D screen rarely works. This is not a ROM-exclusive problem for me (it happens on every flash eventually), I just can't understand why most of the time when I click it, the title bar changes from "Start" to "Messages" but nothing else.
I also have an issue with the top-right program showing option having a huge delay on it. Like, twenty seconds. Usually right after I press down a second time to see if it registered, it will register both at once, and cancel my first click out - extremely frustrating.
No one has any suggestions?
that is wierd... u reset ur phone regularly i assume?
Me too
This has been a problem for me from day 1. Frequent resetting and thank god for HTC Clean RAM (you can find it here in this forum with a search).
One thing that is a prime suspect is ActiveSync, which has never worked properly for my Fuze. I have found that it remains running on the phone in the background, and the ONLY way I can get rid of it seems to soft reset, and then use the drop down in the top right to kill it beceause even AFTER a soft reset it keeps running.
So not much help, but misery loves company so you should feel better now
Today I decided to install a dog whistle program for fun:
http://www.freewarepocketpc.net/ppc-download-dog-whistle.html
I first installed it to my MiniSD card. After installation, nothing was added so the start menu, nor were any program files added. Next I tried to install it to the device with the same result. I finally chose to try the MiniSD, but again, nothing happened.
I decided maybe a soft reset would randomly fix it. Now nothing appears in the start menu except "Today."
I uninstalled the program via ActiveSync and did another soft reset. I still have the same problem. I checked \Windows\Start Menu\Programs and everything is still there.
Does anyone know how to fix this?
EDIT: I had turned it off and left it off for hours and now it's normal. Idk what fixed it, but I guess I don't need help anymore.
I am hoping that you guys can help.
My spouse purchase a HTC Fuze a little while back. She used it for
a few months. She was then deployed to Iraq. The phone has been
off for the last 3 months. It was working fine when last used. Recently,
I powered it up and the touch screen is not functioning properly.
You can not use it to dial phone numbers, send texts, and such.
Basically, it does not function correctly really. When it just sitting,
it will roll through options on the screen as if it is being touched
and will not stay on the home setting.
What could the problem be? Can this be fixed? I have tried a soft reset
which hasn't worked. It is disturbing since this is a fairly new phone.
Thanks in Advance!
try re-calibrating the screen! if that fails - hard rest it.
How do you re-calibrate the screen?
settings-system-screen
I am under the settings menu but I don't see anything that says system.
Bear in mind that if I have to use the touch screen to get to it then it
would be a no go.
it's a tab in the button if you get there by moving down fron the lowests icon then you can move to system
its a tab in what button. Can you some one give me the exact step by step to get there?
try using the circular thing (joystick) to get there! i'm running a custom rom, so your settings layout may be different.
circular joystick to get where.
Can I have a step by step? I can't find system anywhere.
My touch screen displays but it does not do anything when
I touch it. I have to use the physical buttons.
to go up and down in that menu but if you have a stock rom you may have a different folder for "system", i'm not sure.
Figured out where that is now. I didn't realize that
you were talking about the start button for windows.
I went to that section and it asks you to go through the
align screen process but it does not respond to the taps
of the wand. Is that how we recalibrate?
If this doesnt work, what can be done to get the screen working?
try this: http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=Raphael_For_Beginners#Hardx20.Reset
hard reset your phone
If I do that, I will lose all my contacts and data on my phone, right?
How do I prevent this?
your best bet is to hope you have "PIM backup" and use it to back up everything, including custom folders. hopefully you can navigate using the hardware keyboard. (custom backup allows you to pack up specific folders and/or files). back it up to your storage card, THEN hard reset it.
also, if you have your phone's contact list synced via active sync, just hard reset and it'll restore your synced contact list.
good luck
EDIT: please delete this. double post of preceding reply.
Will a hard reset actually fix this problem with the touch screen
or this just a try it and see approach?
Contacts saved on my SIM will not be affected by a hard reset, right?
Do a hard reset then,
Yeah, if you already save your contacts in the sim then go ahead and do a hard reset. Just follow the start up procedure on the phone, hope this will solve your problem. Please let us know.

man, nobody knows for sure. it will give you a blank phone, just like the first dday you turned it on (software wise). if the screen has some hardware damage - you will know after the hard-reset. let us know how it went!
so what is actual purpose of a hard reset over a soft reset?
Why would this work to reset the screen over a soft reset?
