Hi! Now, my phone is the Karbonn A3+, and recently, I sent it for servicing as my phone's lock button had been destroyed from the inside and some "tracts" had been damaged too. So, I got it repaired and everything was fine, until I turned it on today. I turned it on, and everything has become HUGE. Like really, it has enlarged 200% more. I don't have any applications that execute such a function, and trust me, I tried resetting the phone. You'll laugh when you read this : The phone has enlarged so much, that I can't hit the conformation "Ok" when it asks me if I really want to reset my phone.
Is there a way I can factory reset via my computer with a USB cable? Also, I can't access the Google Play Store because the icons have enlarged so much that some of them, have gone below the screen.
Thanks a bunch.
Cheers,
MicroFox

Help! I cannot hard reset after my touch screen stopped working. Have tried pressinn gps and internet buttons, then pressing reset and keeping hold of gps and internet but device just soft resets. Would leaving the battery out do the same thing?
Alternative hard reset
Hello mate,
You say your screen isn't working but can you still use the keys and scroll wheel to navigate around the software?
If so, open the start menu and navigate to 'settings', 'system' and select 'clear storage'.
Make sure that you've removed your SD card before you do this.
It will perform a hard reset for you.

I'll try it but I think it asks you to input 1234, which I can't do without the keypad working!
Yes you do have to enter 1234 so I am totally stuck and ready to try the big hammer reset.
Can anyone help?

Cheers Mate!
Tried what you suggested but i got a message on the screen with a yes no box to install and couldn't get the button to operate using the wheel or any hardware key!
I've put my sim card in my magician and I think I may have to send the polaris back. Bet they'll say its my fault and will want paying to fix it.
I'm going to try leaving the battery out for a while to see if that will "force" a hard reset. I know I havent bashed it as it stopped working just after a phone call which is why I think hard resetting will sort it.
Tried your suggestion on my magician: nice bit of software!
The hard reset prompt is done by the bootloader, no installed software can affect it, simply because it isn't loaded yet.
Anyway, for the unlikely case of the digitizer hardware not being reset by bootloader, try removing the battery instead of pressing the reset button. Yes, thats right, remove the battery while the unit is operating, as rude as it sounds, and reinsert it while holding the GPS + Internet buttons.
It will, of course, prompt you to enter the 1234, but the touch screen should be initialized by the bootloader. If it still wont work - RMA the unit, your digitizer is faulty.
It still wouldnt hard reset so it probably is a hardware fault. looks like its going back.
Anyone else had a similar issue?:
Sent it back to HTC in Milton Keynes where thet diagnosed a duff touchscreen and replaced it under warranty. The service was very fast and hassle free. Well done HTC!
First thing I did after sprite restore (they reload with a fresh ROM) was to install my mobiler as suggested above. No worries if the screen doesn't work now.
Thanks for your help guys!
When I turn on my device (TP) it ALWAYS asks me to align the screen and to config the calender and time, and also it asks me if I want to put a lock on it. (However the startup video does NOT show)
This is really annoying! Because I hade soft resetting or turning of the device, because I know I need to do that align and configs again!
I've hard reseted my device once, and before I hard resetted my phone, it wasn't like this! Is there a way to turn this of?
Just out of intrest, do you loose any data when you startup. Examples are other Windows settings, contacts, messages, history etc?
sorry, double post
Just to be clear, are you properly aligning the screen? I had to talk a geeky mate of mine through the process. He was briefly tapping the screen and the cursor wasn't moving around the screen as it should. I had to explain that you have to keep the stylus pressed gently on the screen over the little cross until it moves to the next position. Repeat at each position.
Sorry if I'm teaching you to suck eggs.
Uhmm, No I don't loose any data (settings or anything)
Also, yes I align the screen correctly I guess. I do it just as you tell me
But it's like, when you first got the phone, You first installed the WM (I don't) Then you align the screen (This I have to do) Then it asks you to tell it what time it is (This I also got to do every time i turn off and on my device) Then it asks if you want to have a code lock, you can skip or press next to make a lock (This I also have to do, And YES, I have tried to make a password and then just delete it afterwards) Then it tells you to type in PIN code (I also got to do this, but this is nothing I want removed hehe) Then lastly it auto configurated what network you use (For you guys ATT and sprint maybe, I got NetCom - Also this I do NOT have to do)
Please help me! hehe
Really annoying that I need to config this setting each time I restart my Cellphone
Has i always been this way? Have you not had the phone long?
It sounds like you didn't hard reset your phone after you either turned it on for the first time, or flashed a custom ROM.
I bet a hard reset will work, if not then it sounds like a hardware problem. Like back in the old days before WM5 if your battery died, thats it it would wipe. This is because the memory in the phone is volitile. Your phone might not be keeping the settings or supplying enough power.
Try a hard reset first, this usually solves most problems like this

As said, I got this phone for christmas, I turned it on, and had to set it up, I did, and when I restarted the phone I did NOT have to set it ut again!
After 1 month I hard reseted it (Because of a bad program which ruined my dailpad) and now I have to set up the phone EACH TIME I turn it on!! (I do not have to install WM or config the Network)
OK, so I've Hard Reset my device again, works perfectly now!
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
this morning, i found it odd how slow the touch screen reaction was but didn't think much of it until it just completely stopped responding.
i pressed lock/red button a little too long trying to figure out how to do a hard reset (had a full system back up from 2 nights ago to restore from) and now i can't get the unit to unlock itself! i'm also having a hard time hard resetting the phone as well. i followed a few directions found but none of them worked so... what is really the right way of doing this? i tried connecting to my laptop and do a complete ROM upgrade (not really, just installing it) but i can't get it to connect either!
HELP! what to do!
ok, so i got it unlocked by constantly tapping the unlock and somehow, someway, it decided to give me the unlock on the right center part of the screen. then i pounded away at it over and over again until it is now back to... well, the unlock mode. only problem: it's SUPER slow to the point where it feels unresponsive at all. i can tap away at it for 10 minutes and it would only recognize i wanted to click, start.
ok, so now what happened? thanks for any input.
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?
