HELP PLEASE- Screen Distortion after Soft Reset

Just got a T-Mobile MDA compact. I have installed the extra applications (FAX, GPS, etc) from the CD ROM supplied with the MDA.
After the installation the PC tells you to do a soft reset on the MDA.
I then did the soft reset and once the MDA restarted the screen was all messed up. I had to do a hard reset to resolve.
Is this a common problem - is there a fix to it? I would like to know as otherwise i am going to be very reluctant to upload any other software incase this happens again.

Messed up in what way?
If it's the Today screen that's messed up, and looks like it's one screen half drawn over another screen, this is the issue when you sometimes install things in the Ext_ROM.
The fix is simple, just click Start>Settings>Today and then just tick "Use this picture as Background" and click OK, your today screen should be fixed.
I have to do this after I install Ext_ROM programs, but just do it once and the phone's fine until I install another thing.

thanks - worked a treat

Password

Hello Everyone,
Last night I've activated the password function to my mobile phone but the strange thing is i couldn't open my phone with the same password on Windows Mobile.
I thought that it could be fixed by re-installing the ROM but couldn't suceed because of ActiveSync connection.
Can anyone help me about this issue please? How could I deactivate the password?
P.S: I'm using WM6 on my Dopod 838

could you be a little more specific about the problem? you dont have to use activesync to upgrade your rom. just put your phone into bl mode and go from there. that WILL clear the password as long as your updating the ce rom. or just do a hard reset

would formatting the storage/chipondisk not clear any password setting on the device ?

I think i have a quite silly situation, this is the normal Windows CE Password which we use usually and activates itself when we turn on the phone or some minutes later after we didn't use it.
I thought the same but i need to open my phone with password for cleaning storage. Actually i don't know how to hard reset this phone, i only was using "Storage Clear" application for erasing whole thing.
For installing new rom, I need to make CID unlock and the phone does not run the application without having the ActiveSync connection (guest connection) with phone.

Hard reset: Hold both software "---" keys on the keyboard and reset with stylus. Then hit "0" key to hard reset or "X" key to cancel.
Bootloader mode: Hold light and power buttons together and reset with stylus. (The light button is on the front edge of the phone, near the volume slider). In bootloader mode please keep in mind that the backlight is turned off, therefore the screen is hard to read in poor light.

HAA HAA MY PROBLEM IS SOLVED, I GOT THE SOLUTION SOMEWHERE ELSE SO LET ME SHARE IT HERE. hope it will help somebody
Press and hold the red power button
Now press and release the reset button using stylus under battery door
Continue holding the red button
First you will see Palm logo with progress bar
Then you will see circular Palm logo
When you see circular logo, release red button
Now you will be asked if you want to erase all data
Press UP to confirm
Now choose language when asked and phone will restart as new with no security code
good luck

Anyone that has a 650 with problems relating to reseting the device should check out http://kb.palm.com/SRVS/CGI-BIN/WEBCGI.EXE?New,kb=PalmSupportKB,CASE=obj(887) which shows all the reset procedures for that device. The 650 even has a 'zero out' reset that can fix issues that the hard reset wont. It is also good to perform this reset (to completely wipe out/reset everything) if you were selling your device for instance.

How about PHT program?
I bought a Treo 650 and it has a Sw Called PHT First knowledge
It need a pass
I dont think it has a Os inside
And i cant upgrade as it dowsnt connect with pc

Help htc touch 2 can not unlock

some please me when my phone gos to keylock then i pres the power button and i get the screen to slide the butten to unlock it dos not unlock please help i have to remove the batterij or is there a way to remove the keylock

Did you activate owner information to appear? This may be the cause. You have to download from the official site an update to correct this.

If there is nothing on the phone that you actually need you could always try a hard reset.

i try hard reset i did not activate the user information stuff please i;m tired of removing my batterij i only have the phone 3 days now htc touch 2

The only thing I would suggest is if your phone came from a network provider to arrange a replacement as you seem to have a software issue.

i have same problem when using magic call and checked "show notification" when filter triggered, the solution was uncheck "show notification".
