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
I spilt some tea on my qtek s200 yesterday, and right after the spill, I unplugged the battery and dried it first with tissues and then a hair dryler .It seeed ok for a while but now I have a strange problem.Whenever I softreset the device, it sticks on the three color screen.
Softreset doesn't work at this stage so I try to hardreset the device.After I press camera+comm man+reset buttons, there is a confirmation message and then I press "yes", this is where,I think, the problem is; I can't get a format completed message and after this stage the device boots up normally.
After the spill, the camera button started to act weirdly. I open the camera app and try to shoot a photo by pressing the camera button but it doesn't react but whenever a turnoff the screen with the power button and on again it shoots a photo.
May be there is still some parts that need to be dried,so shall I dismantle it and take a look inside
If you have an idea, please have me informed.
Thanks.
To sum up the problem:
whenever I try to hardreset my ppc, it performs as a soft reset ,so,I cannot hardreset the device.
Help me please...
I wonder if one of the buttons (the camera button probably) is stuck. That would explain the entering bootloader and the inability to take a picture.
If you can get the device to boot up properly, in the settings under "System" there should be a "Clear Storage" program, that will allow you to do the same as a hard reset.
I tried that "clear storage" but that didn't work, all the same.Maybe you are right.Because when the bootloader screen came up, I tired to hardreset again,this time just pressing the comm manager button and reset the device with the stylus and it tried to hardreset but again was unable to do it.
So,i think, I should find a way to prevent the camera button from keeping pressed steadily.
Do you have an idea?
more likely the camera button have short circuited..
do u use usb cable to connect with pc .. if yes then after 3 color screen try to connect it and look if u see text at bottom left "usb" .. if its all true u can flash your ram
@sahir74,
When I connect the device on the three-color screen with the usb cable,i can see the "usb" on the bottom left.
I have no issues upgrading my qtek s200 (prophet), but when I try to hardreset, I come across a problem like this,or whenever I softreset the device, it doesn't normally boot up and just sticks at three-color screen.
Do you think a surgery can fix this problem?I am thinking about opening the device and doing something about the camera button.
All the problem arose when eye spilled a glass of tea on my s200 ,which happened exactly where the camera button is.
What ROM have you upgraded to? and, what is your devices IPL/SPL?
If you tried an official WM5 NVID ROM, then I think taking it apart and checking the connections is the only option...
Shadow 2
and I tired other roms, it seems to be a hardware problem.Anywayapart from this problem, I am using my device happily though.
Hi,
I just received my Touch Pro and I tried to use the camera! The app version is 6.01, but it seems to have a few bugs like:
1-When I touch to center button to focus, nothing happens! To make it work, I need to hard press it to take the first picture, after that, the touch focus starts to work!!
2-If I take too many pictures or try to focus a lot of times, the auto focus stops to work and show a red X. The only way to make it work again is to soft reset the phone!
My ROM version is:1.90.405.1 WWE
Could you confirm this behavior on your phones? Or maybe my phone is faulty?

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
sounds very strange......
I think the only thing that may help is a hard reset....
If that is not working...ya probably have to send it back...:S
But I hope I'm wrong and somebody else has a good idea/solution 4 you! good luck with it!
1. Settings -> Advanced -> Page 3/5
Shoot Option = Touch and Press
Hi,
Thanks everyone for replying.
My setup was already in touch and press.
But like I said. If I soft reset the phone, the first time I use the camera I have to hard press the button and take a dumb picture, as the touch doesn't work. After that the touch button works forever(till the next soft reset).
Seems to be a software bug, but I am not sure. If someone can test it on his/her phone it would be great!
Soft reset the phone and try to use the camera. If the touch button doesn't work, take a dumb picture with hard press the button, after that the button starts to work.
My Touch Pro with stock ROM also does this.
Hi Mike,
Thanks for replying! So seems to be a software bug! Let's see if they will release a fix for it!!
Hi. My touch pro has the no go first time but work afterwards until next soft reset problem too.
But recently I noticed if I push in the button(doing anything or nothing as long as it was pressed) before I enter the camera app, it always work.
EDIT oh stock rom 405.1 WWE
Humm, so seems that the problem with the button is with the device driver that controls the touch part of the button, not the camera application itself.
Well I'm hoping its the software but fearing its the physical button.
I also have exactly the same problem! Stock ROM.
Never experienced this problem since I first bought it. Same goes with my Diamond. Anyway, try hard reset your device. If the problem is still there, it would be best to send in for warranty claim.
Can't we just update the ROM?
Mine it also v. 405.
I think I'll update today.
programatix, what is your ROM version? Could you try to do the soft reset test I posted? So you can see if the problem happens.
Mike, will you updade the ROM to a newer version? Which one? After you do that, please tell us if it solves the problem.
I have the same problem with mine :-(
Sometime the autofocus works, in most cases not and after a while after pressing the button I get an very unsharp picture.
I have the latest german ROM Version 1.90.407.4 GER so other users with this actual version might have that problem too...
I also have this problem but my auto-focus just plain never works...EVER. Has anyone tried a hard reset and had it fix the problem? I would like to know before I try it.
+1 - sw bug for def
405.1 WWE - stock UK rom.
so, it has been a few days, has anyone tried a hard reset or found any other solution to these camera bugs? Or is everyone just trading in for a new pro?
Strange. My AT&T Fuze w/ stock rom doesn't have this problem. After a soft reset, I open the camera and press the center button, it auto-focuses just like it's supposed to. Must have been fixed for the AT&T rom.
Apparently not many people have this problem on sprint either since nobody seems interested in it.
I've been mucking about with mine since I thought the touch/auto focus feature wasn't working either.
What I discovered was that the button doesn't really respond to your touch very well and so you end up pushing the button all the way down which ends up focusing and taking the photo all in one step. At least this was the case with mine anyway.
Instead of just touching the button softly, try 'stabbing' at it with your thumb a little instead. I don't mean forcefully, just kind of tap and hold as opposed to just lightly touching it.
That's the best way I can describe it. It may not be your problem however...
