I have a sprint touch pro, running mighty rom 4 i think. It's been working great but as of today I can't turn the device off or sleep it. i press the button on the top and the back lights for the hard buttons on the bottom turn off but the display doesnt turn off. When I hold the button to try to turn it off the prompt asking me if i want to turn it off pops up i hit yes and it doesnt do anything it just goes back to the home screen. I leave the touch pro waiting for it to auto sleep and that doesnt happen either. i have reset it many times and it doesnt resolve the issue. On maybe a similar note I've been getting messages certain programs cant be launched because there is not enough memory even though nothing is running. Also when i try to turn off the wifi it just freezes. Some one help I dont want to reflash the rom to get it to work but will if its neccesary.
Have you tried a hard reset? If it doesn't work, re-flashing might be your best option.
Well it got fixed yesterday but it still wouldnt sync up. Then tonight it stopped working tonight, on boot up it says as_starter couldnt start something about certificates. I really dont want to hard reset because i want to try to sync it up before because i have a lot of calender events and new contacts i have to transfer over.
If that's your biggest concern, use some sort of back-up program to keep all the info you need. There are a lot of good ones out here. Then, if you do re-flash, you can restore all your contacts and calender events.

So what did I do....
I installed .net 3.5 compact on my phone, and then installed Advanced config and made a few TF3D tweaks. Everything seemed to work ok. I then installed hTorch and it worked.
I then installed dotfred's taskmanager and then did another TF3D tweak. (The cache size one) and then did a soft reboot.
Now my phone doesn't even work. I can barly boot up and when it does boot up I get all of these error about ***.exe can run because it is not a valid
application.
Im thinking it was the .net 3.5 maybe.. or the dotfreds... no idea really.
Phew... so What'd I do wrong? I cant figure out how to un-install the stuff I put on it, because active sync wont run because it wont load on my phone. I literally cant do anything on my phone. The time doesn't even show. All I can see is the battery, reception and that it is on vibrate. I cant even change the volume.
Thanks for any help... I would love a way to do it w/o losing all of my numbers but that maybe the only way. (but I dont even know how to do it like that)

The simplest would be a hard reset but will cause you to loose data, to do this press the the volume down button while pressing the reset button (next to the usb port) then it will ask if you want to hard reset so press the volume up. This will place your phone back to factory defaults.
Any idea how this happened? I would like to do all of this over again, just not sure what I did / didnt do...
I cant get this thing to hard reset.... ugh!
I have tried pressing and holding the volume down button and then pressing and holding the reset button next to the USB and it just keeps rebooting. (Also tried the center button and the volume button at the same time and then hitting and/or holding the reset button.)
Whats odd is sometimes is comes up with my password prompt and it works, other times that same password prompt comes up but my password doesnt work....
Wow... after about 15 reset, and 5-10 times trying to hard reset it... it just started to work all of a sudden..
I'm afraid to reset it again. No idea whats going on... worst part is that I work in IT so I'm really confused as to what is going on.
Hard reset is performed by doing the following.
1. Press the volume down button.
2. Press the action button.
3. Press reset button with stylus.
Press all of the above mentioned sections and continue pressing until you are prompted to perform a Hard Reset.

This is the method for entering bootloader mode, not Hard Resetting the device.
If you have your phone synced to outlook, you should be able to restore your contacts. Also I save all my contacs to sim via sim manager.
a bit of advice which I use... always backup ur phone after installing a program. After each single install do the backup, you should have Sprite Backup which came with ur phone. This way, you can go back to any one point in time to see what F'ed up, takes a bit longer but its worth it.
This doesnt solve ur current problem but at least u can make sure it doesnt happen again... and fyi, everyone ends up hard resetting their phone at some point in their life and lose all data... ur not the first and wont be the last so breath and take it easy.
I'm not sure how many people, if any, have experience with this phone, but I'm taking a shot in the dark because I am completely out of options here. The phone is similar to the Cect M88, and the other Cect iPhone-clones available, although I'm not sure how similar the button layout is.
I installed PCM Keyboard last night, and all was working fine until this afternoon, when all of a sudden, my phone wouldn't wake up. I ended up having to pull the battery in order to get it to restart, but then it wouldn't boot past the Windows Mobile screen (the first one - didn't even make it to the second screen).
After several attempts to hard reset (top volume button + camera button + power button), I was able to get it reset, but even though active sync was running, folders weren't showing up properly on the phone itself. I did a soft reset, and folders then showed up, but this time active sync wouldn't load on the phone. Several more soft resets did nothing, but I kept trying, and finally... the phone froze up again to the point where it hung on the Windows Mobile screen again. Now, despite all attempts, I can't even get it to hard reset. When I push all buttons from an off state, the screen will turn blue (which seems to indicate some kind of resetting is going on since it normally goes straight to the WM screen) and then a few seconds later, the Windows Mobile screen will come up and hang. I've tried every combination of buttons possible, and I've tried hard resetting probably a good 20-30 times since this happened. I've removed the SIM card, removed the SD card... I've basically tried hard resetting seemingly every way possible, and yet it still will not reset and load up WM 6.0 pro like it should.
Any ideas on how I can get this thing to at least move past the WM screen? If I'm totally unable to hard reset, what would be the next best course of action? Since this is an off-brand phone with no support or any kind of warranty, are there repair places out there that can restore the OS? Is that something I can do myself? (Phone didn't come with any software or anything.) I'm at a loss here... I really don't want to end up with a $200 blue flashlight/paperweight. I know I took my chances when I bought it, but well... this stinks.
worked
hey man i know its old and hopefully you still have your phone.. ok what you need to do is let the phone die completely so you may have to keep the blue screen on and keep turning it on till your phone does this like you i have hard reseted serveral time to no avail but when the phone died i took out the battery plugged it in to the wall charger placed the battery in the phone let the red led light by the camera light up then i turned it on and before the screen could show the splash i did the hard reset phone is aye ok !! hope this helps man.. your post helped me..
eric
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?
Hey guys, i've got a problem. First off, KforTouchPro works fine on my HTC Touch Pro, i can configure buttons fine for Morphgear, PocketGBA, SmartGear etc, it works wonderful. And as everyone that uses this app already knows, you have to switch the setting to MS IME before you launch your game emulator, or else you can't configure the keys. Well, my problem is, after i'm done playing a game, sometimes I forget to switch the setting back to default, and whenever i do a reset or shutoff my phone, it hangs at the screen right before it shows your homescreen and touchflo3d tabs.
Basically, for those that use EnergyROM, it hangs at the screen that shows you the black & blue background with the word EnergyROM 3.0 in the bottom left (or something like that, can't remember). That means you can't do anything at all, since there are no buttons etc for you to press as the home screen is not fully loaded, so basically you got a semi-bricked phone as no matter how many times i try to turn on the phone, it just hangs there, which results in me having to do a hard reset in the end.
To prevent this, you MUST restore the KforTouchPro setting back to the default setting, but sometimes ppl forget and this will cause a semi-bricked phone, which is very risky and quite dangerous.
So, is anyone else having the same problem as me?? Is there a solution to this??
And lastly, what's the difference between KforTouchPro and KforRaphael??
my screen last night went blank except for the top and the bottom, I am on a stock rom with a bunch of programs installed. the programs have been on it for a while so it worked fine before.
I was roaming last night and tried to go online and it seemed to freeze, and when i mean freeze i mean freeze. it totally shut down and i could not get it to turn back on without a soft reset. when i soft reset it the screen was toatlly blank and it seems that touch flo aint working, I have to hit the start button at the top and a drop down list of programs (like with my old mogul) would drop down. I dont remember what version of windows that is.
trying to remove programs doesnt workeither.
Hope you got your files and contacts backed up...sounds like hard reset will be the only option for you...
is touch flo checked under settings-today-items
yeah it was checked, and i did a hard reset, I keep everything backed up all the time so im cool. just hate hard resetting.
might think about flashing a coustom rom, i just have to find a real good one, any ideas?
