Hey guys,
My tilt just got the red light and screen stoped working. I mean I can go throw the icons manual with the scroll key but what ever I touch on the screen nothing happens? any Ideas what should I do? is this related to red light issue? by battery is charged 99%
Thanks
any one knows anything about touch screen not working?
I had the exact same issue once when toying around with touchflo on my tilt. Both the red light and the dead screen. I had to do a hard reset, and that cleared it up. It's a drastic step, but it worked. Hopefully though there's a better solution out there for you. Good Luck!
how do I do a Hard Reset?
When I had the HTC appache, it used to be I had to hold down both soft buttons, and then click the soft reset. However, in the Tilt, if you go under settings....then go to the system tab....there's an icon for clear storage. That causes it to do a hard reset. Keep in mind though it erases everything that you've put on the phone. So you'll have to go back and reset all your programs and settings.
would this delete my contact list too? or thats on my SIM card?
I did the hard reset but now I am stock at the first screen which says tap the screen to set up your windows mobile base software. i am tapping nothing happens. what should i do now ?

Hi. I am a new owner of the AT&T Tilt, so I was messing around with a few cool new features. I installed the HTC Home Plugin and the HTC Default Theme, which looked really nice. After I installed these, things began going crazy. When I had them installed, the screen would not turn back on after going blank, so I would have to remove the battery and then reboot it again. When it loaded back up, I tried to manually power it off via the power button on the side. INstead of powering off, it would freeze. Sucks, I know...
So I finally decided to remove both the plugin and the default screen, as I figured it would send things back to normal. It didn't. When it was all removed, I tried to slide the phone open, but the screen did not automatically switch to landscape view. So I tried to power it off, and it acted as if it was continually loading something and refused to turn off.
This is very furstrating... Do any of you all know what to do?
Thanks.

Try a soft reset and if that doesn't work, back up any data you don't want to lose and then try a hard reset. This will bring you back to factory settings but you lose all your data and added programs.
I have both those things on my Tilt and have not had that happen. Any other third party software it could be reacting with?
Not that I know of. I installed TomTom6 on there, but I had that for several hours prior to putting the two other programs on there and it worked just fine. Is there a way to do a hard reset before the phone turns on fully? Because once it turns on, I am very limited as to what I can do...
Yes.
Put your stylus into the reset hole (just above and to the right of the USB port) and hold both soft keys at the same time (next to the green and red phone buttons).
Hm.. Strange thing happened. I simply held the two soft keys at start up and it seems to have reset the whole thing. Did I do this correctly or should I redo it?

hmm i don't think so you did a hard reset than buddy. Hard reset is holding the two soft keys and than inserting stylus into soft reset hole on bottom of phone. Doing this brings you to a white screen with a warning in blue that basically tells you all data will be erased to proceed hit the send button .. and once you hit send (green button) than it starts the hard reset and once it finishes it asks you to hit the send button again to reboot the phone.
Yeah. STrangely enough, it didn't warn me of any of that. It simply took a while to boot up from the AT&T screen and when it did, all of the stuff that I had installed was gone...
Another question..
Okay, so after about seven attempts, I finally got the hard reset to work properly. Now that everything is back to it's manufacture settings, I would like to update the plain jane look of it. I know this may sound utterly stupid, but can anyone tell me exactly how to install the HTC Plugin along with the HTC Default theme and Customizer? (If links can be provided as to the correct download site, it would be greatly appreciated as well.)
The last time I thought I installed these correctly, my phone went crazy...
Thanks guys.
P.S. TomTom 6 would not have an affect on my phone.. would it?
Thanks again!
no tomtom6 will not affect your phone, I have used it for months with HTC home plugin, didn't have an issue with my tilt. I hope that helps. I don't quite understand what you want to do with the customizer maybe someone else can help ya with that.
Good luck on your new phone.

Go here, down load HTC Home plugin and Home Customizer again.
Remember to soft reset after installing (no soft keys just stylus in the reset hole) Go to start>settings>today>items,check HTC Home. And you should be good to go.
If not , now you know how to hard reset and start again.

Alright! Thanks a lot!
I'll keep you informed as to how it goes! Thanks again!
Ah! Thanks! It works flawlessly now!
Juuust kidding...
I don't know what it is, but it worked just fine for a while.
Now, whenever I tap the power button on the side to turn the screen off, I can not get it to turn back on.
Why?
Hi
I was trying out some of the samsung today plugins when my device froze(if i touched the screen or the hardware buttons it would still make a noise). I reset my diamond, it started up I then put my password in clicked unlock and now my diamond wont boot past the windows green splash screen. If I push the power button off then on again I end up in the same situation as before(if i touched the screen or the hardware buttons it would still make a noise and the wheel would light up).
Can someone please help me to fix this problem. I hope there is another way than a hard reset as I would not like to lose my programs and data on the 4gb memory.
Thank You
Can anyone help?
just found something else. when my diamond wont go any further and I plug it into my pc it comes up as mass storage. Ive tried pressing the touch screen to try get it into active sync but it will not work. I also discovered if i hold down the power button to turn the diamond off the warning box comes up. This is getting very weird. Is there a way to make the phone go into active sync mode?
From previous experience if it won't go past the boot screen and a soft reset hasn't helped it will be a hard reset. The good news is that all information on the internal storage drive will be safe and not removed.
Good Luck
Hi all.
I'm a bit concerned. All of a sudden the ability of my phone to fix itself by hard reset (L+R buttons > Power on) is gone. This is quite bad.
I can still perform a hard reset via the control panel (erase all data).
Anyone know what's wrong? After the last hard reset the phone wasn't like how it was to begin with at all - or how it was after any of the other hard resets. All of the SE customisation had gone, and only the first 4 panels were available.
How come hard reset isn't a dead cert, and why in the world has the hardware shortcut gone?
Thanks
Mine refused to do a hard reset using the power button + silver buttons, it kept complaining that there was "no image file".
For some reason, using the soft reset button instead of the power button seemed to work on mine, after using the soft reset button behind the battery cover with the two silver buttons it did a proper hard reset and it worked with no problems.
i did 2 hard resets on mine now and i had weird behavior too.
On the first hard reset i couldnt hard reset by pressing the two silver buttons and the power button, just nothing happened. I then tried to press the silver buttons and inserted the stylus into the hole on the back which worked.
As i did a hard reset for the second time method 2 didnt work anymore, therefor method 1 suddenly worked...very weird
mine, couldnt hard reset it by preseing L & R and then soft reset...
i did it by clearing storage in setting!
It happen to me too...I solved it this way
Assign the default to each button left and right and then try it again..
PD: to hard reset trhee botton togheter and then relaese first the power button and wait until screen turn white....
Sorry for bad english
i need help!
mine did the reset ok, but when connected to sony ericsson's ipdate service keeps flashing 'no image file' and the update service says device not recognised. any ideas how i can fix it?
I have a slightly different problem. x1 to cleanse his memory, I was enabled very strange program that was the code'1234 'and when I did it my X1 phone simply shuts down. When I start up back, I appeared on a white screen with a blue stripe on top, and in the middle of the screen wee dagger. I've tried all the ways to retrieve the telephone to life but nothing is party, and the Internet also can not find anything. Please help.
@ thomsonss1: try a hard reset. That should work. Report back if it doesn't and we'll think of something else
Noooo it's not working.... I even can't to put a pin code or mobile code....
it suck......
I am also having the "No Image File!" issue. Has anyone fixed their phone or am I SOL?
I've had a quick look round the forums but cant find a definitive answer really...
Last night i got my diamond out, and it was turned off completely (not standby) for some reason. When i turned it back on it got stuck at the green windows screen with the rotating loading icon, which then also stopped. At that point it wouldnt do anything and just stopped with the backlight staying on.
I tried removing the battery, the sim, doing several hard resets, still no joy. Eventually i left it with the green screen on for about an hour, reset it, and eventually it came back on.
Anyone any ideas whats happened? Obviously i'm keen to safeguard this from happening next time (i've only had the phone a week).
I've currently got installed the following...
LEM's Trackme.
Memory Map Pocket Nav
Microsoft .net 3.5 (for trackme)
Naviter Seeyou
PHM registry editor
Gsen
sql server (for trackme)
Sensor lock
tomtom7
diamond hacks
Exchange...
Personally, if I'd only had my device a week, I would be straight in the shop for an exchange... that's assuming you haven't been messing with ROM upgrades, etc!
nope no roms, just apps installed..
it was bought from mobiles.co.uk , so a bit more difficult than just popping back to the shop plus my number is due to transfer to it tommorow, so i'm waiting until after that.
Basically, i was just wondering if the green screen halt is a common occurrence.
Hmm
Does it show the green screen after you hard reset it? Maybe a faulty .cab in your programs (I know it sounds stupid) is crashing at startup. Try a hard reset and installing one by one?
If I were you, I would use the hard-reset the phone and use it as is for about a month. If all goes well, I would gradually add programs one at a time. At least that would tell me if the phone itself is OK and if the problem may be due to 3rd parties apps.
ah okay thanks.. i tried pressing the red reset button under the cover but that didnt do anything (apart from restart the phone). I assume a hard reset is done some other way?
I'va also uninstalled some surplus apps, such as the sql server, trackme and naviter seeyou.

press voldown and the center button, and soft reset at the same time. then you'll hard reset
What you are thinking is a hard reset, is really a soft reset. A hard reset completely erases everything on your phone and restores it to default. A soft reset just restarts the phone (like the restart button on the computer).
**Remember that a hard reset resets everything so back up files if you need to.
Ok, so im new to this, don't go hard on me, but my touchflo 3d thing is messed up.
I tried installing themes earlier and one was fine, then i installed another and after rebooting i noticed a small white square in the top left corner, under the start button. How do i fix that?
Other thing is a added a different clock, because the old one that slid up when placing the finger on the clock and sliding up, got removed when i added the theme.
Now i have this old style clock and I've deleted all themes and everything and soft/hard restarted it, but it continues to have the theme and that old clock.
Can anyone help? i'd VERY much appreciate it.
Is there a way to restore the touchflo 3d, like delete it and re-download it?
i have the sprint phone, btw.
The Htc touch pro (Raphael one)
I guess i piled too many themes on one, because i still see part of one theme and another.
HELP???
When you say you have soft/hard resetted it... what do you mean with hard reset?
If your way of hard resetting it, is turning off the phone and then restarting it... well that is also considered a soft reset.
Hard reset "should" get your device in a state when you first bought it.
Noone has replied so i will tell you how to hard reset if you don't know it. If you do.. well just skip this
first off! Backup your stuff and contacts. hard reset will wipe your phone. Storage cards are safe.
so use pim backup or sump or sync with outlook.
on your raphael: Hold down the volume down button on the side, also hold down the "ok" button. You know the round button in the lower center of your phone. While holding down these 2 buttons use your stylus to reset the device on the bottom near the micro usb. Keep holding down the 2 buttons untill you get a screen with further instructions.. you may let go now. it will ask do you want to go back to default settings. this will wipe your device. and press the button to apply it. volume up or down i believe.
good luck
