Afternoon All,
My MDA Vario III keeps making a noise then shutting itself down. It does this several times a day. A real pain im sure you can imagine! Is there a software fix or am I going to have to send it back to T-Mobile for a new one?
Thanks
Jon
Have you tried a hard reset to remove any dodgy applications you may have installed?
If yes then bodge it off to T-Mo.
and how would one perform this hard reset you speak of?
Im a total noob at mobile devices
For all things Kaiser/Tilt/Vario III, check out the Kaiser Wiki link in my signature.
For the hard reset in particular, press and hold both soft keys on the front of the device, and press the reset button with your stylus. Release the reset button, but continue holding the soft keys for another 5 seconds. The screen will display a warning that pressing "Send" will erase all data. Press the Send button. **This will erase all of your data**

Can anyone advise how I can reset my device to the original state it came in the box. My previous device you had press 2 buttons on the keypad and the reset button. Anyone help with the Kaiser?
Thanks,
Sunny.
Settings -> Sytem -> Clear Storage
Make sure you have backed up your data.
gogol I am your new best friend.....many thanks!
Hold in two soft keys and then reset with stylus thats a true hard reset. Much more info posted in the first sticky in Kaiser Upgrading Thread
"true" hard reset? I think it is the same thing with that "Clear Storage".
Just read the manual and I did once.
Hi sunny
I hope this will help you:
HardReset: Hold Talk and End soft key - Reset :When prompted push Green Talk Button
Enter Bootloader mode: Hold Camera + Power buttons together and reset with stylus
Thanks Chris and others. Very useful!!!
Hi
My device has gone really wrong all of sudden. Keeps locking up, weird application corruption etc. I have taken out the battery a number of times. The phone boots up and seems to be ok, but if I slide out the keyboard nothing happens on screen. If I try and make a call the touch screen will not work to dial a number. Weird screen corruption. I thought this device was too good to be true.
I want to do a hard reset. HOwever not sure what the buttons are.
HardReset: Hold Talk and End soft key - Reset :When prompted push Green Talk Button
What is the "hold talk" and end soft key?
This will clear up any confussion i hope:
-Enter Bootloader mode: Hold Camera + Power buttons together and reset with stylus(thanks pof)
-HardReset: Hold Both soft keys in while pushing in Reset button :When prompted push Green Talk Button to clear data.
It seems that with the ATT Tilt, you are not able to do a hard reset using the left and right soft key plus the reset hole. Has anyone figure out how to do a hard reset on the device without using the program in "Settings"->"System"->"Clear Storage" ?
Thanks
-Enter Bootloader mode: Hold Camera + Power buttons together and reset with stylus(thanks pof)
-HardReset: Hold Both soft keys in while pushing in Reset button :When prompted push Green Talk Button to clear data.
This and more located in the upgrades section...
Thanks for the information. I have the information you mention. I have not tried the boot loader mode yet, but the hardreset functionality does not work on the ATT tilt. I've tried it quite a few times, it does not prompt for the erase data, it just did a soft reset and everything comeback normally.
Thanks.
It worked for me...
Make sure you aren't accidentally pressing any other key...
hmm... on the ATT Tilt ?
Yep...
The drone at the store did the customization, which let all of the bloatware install.. The first thing I did when leaving the store was to hold the two buttons in, then push the reset button for about a second or two (while holding down the button), release the reset button, then release the two softkeys.
I then got the white screen asking you to hit send...
Have you looked at the Kaiser Sticky about ALL Kaiser facts? the link is in my sig below but becareful you might learn something!!
When a hard reset is done, does the phone goes to a state when you first got it from ATT with all the programs, games, tools etc installed?
I was able to do it on an ATT Tilt. However, you have to be sure that you are not fat-fingering any other buttons. Also, hold down both softkeys until prompted to press another button.
It works well
I thought my partial ROM flash cooked my AT&T Tilt. The power + camera reset took my phone back into the hardspl screen for updating again. Thanks.
Many thanks for the info! The power/camera/reset did it for me.
Back to original specs.
Now I can upgrade.
The people at the ATT store were clueless.
Go figure!
I did the search, but not finding anything...Thanks for the help
Not sure what you want... but you can go to Start...Setings....System and choose CLEAR STORAGE and that will give you a hard reset as far as whiping data.

Don't forget about your good friend, WIKI.
I hard reset a TILT that was locked up after installing Blackberry connect to SD card (known issue). Hold down the two soft keys, then use the stylus to press the reset button for a few seconds, then release while still holding in the soft reset buttons. The warning message comes on, and as said earlier, use the green send key to initiate the data wipe.

interestingly, it does not work on my TyTN II.
However, its working on the Trinity.
It worked on my Kaiser/Tytn ll. Thanks!!!
not for me :-(
Hi,
maybe me being stupid, but this procedure does not work for me. Problem is that I installed software for the iGo bluetooth keyboard (I know ...) and ever since the Kaiser is resetting itself every 30 seconds. So what I get is only the smart mobility message, a short vibrate and then back to start. Anyone any idea how to get out of that? May I just press the wrong softkeys?
many thanks in advance

new situation: the keys I press are definitely the right ones, I can also get into bootloader mode. I flashed the original rom (RUU_Kaiser_HTC_WWE_1.56.405.5_radio_sign_22.45.88.07_1.27.12.11_Ship) back which finished successful but the situation is the same. When I hard reset I am told it has been done, being asked to press the green button and it reverts to the old problem immediately. I should say that I have not modded my device so far, it was in original state before I installed the above mentioned software. Could it be a coincidence and it is a hardware problem?
HELP!!!
I found hard-resetting my HTC TyTN "GB" somewhat unpredictable. Holding down both soft keys while depressing the reset buttone is the correct procedure. It's either related to the HTC_END.cab. Do you have this installed?
Cheers
Strange, can't perform a hard reset either, using the softkeys of my TyTn II. No matter how long I press and hold them, no message screen, no option to hard reset.
The only way is to use Clear Storage.

It's in the Kaiser Wiki, under 'Kaiser resets'.
this is what is says...
Hard Reset **NB** This cannot be performed while the device is connected/charging!**
* Press and hold both soft keys
* Using a stylus, press and hold the soft reset button at the bottom of the phone
* Keep all three buttons pressed until the keypad lights turn off and then flash
* Release the soft reset button while still pressing the soft keys
* Let go of the two soft keys once the message "This operation will delete all your personal data, to manufacturer default" appears on screen
* Finally, press the green call button to perform the hard reset, or press other key to cancel
1. what buttons are the soft keys..
2. i pressed the power and the camera buttons then the reset set pinhole button.. release the reset pinhole button after the keypads lights go off still nothing..
Hi I have an ATT Tilt I upgraded to ATT ROM from HTC site and intalled a couple of cab files derectly on the phone (HTC home, cube, etc) afte installing the kaiser music player i did the soft reset as it asked and now the phone is stuck in an infinite reset loop. How can I fix this?
I know the files are godo becaus eI had installed them previously but had to do a hard reset becasue of syncing problems.
THANKS!
i think if you try Holding down the two soft keys, then use the stylus to press the reset button for a few seconds, then release the reset button while still holding in the soft keys. The warning message comes on then use the green send key to initiate the data wipe.
hope this helps

It worked!!!!! THANK YOU SOOOO MUCH. I thought my phone was dead!
I do have another question. If I doo a hard reset and clean off the ATT extra [email protected]* it will not sync with outlook. If I leave the ATT stuff on it does! Why Is this?!?!?!
Hey, Just recently I tried to change my windows mobile theme, just the color of the title bars. I do have the kaiser tweak and HTC 5 button homepage thingy. The title bars didn't change right away so I turned the device off and on. Yet when i turned it back on, it freezes on the ATT startup page and displays the three different numbers on the bottom corner, i think they're some kind of IP or radio. Does anyone have any ideas on what is wrong with my phone? I'ved tried taking the sim card and battery out for awhile and attempted to do a hard reset with the two soft keys and reset button, but nothing happens when I hold the buttons. Any help would be great, I need to use my phone!

I'm really surprised that a hard-reset did not restore you to OEM settings...
WHEN you get restored to where you want it... Try: http://rapidshare.com/files/68506785/UI_TWEAK.ZIP
It works awesomely!
It even catalogs all .tsk files and U can export as well.
Best of luck!

just an FYI:
HTC Kaiser - TyTn II - T-Mobile Vario III
A software option is also available. Start> Settings> System> Clear Storage.
Type 1234 in the box and tap YES.
===> OR <===
Press and hold the Left & Right SOFT KEYs and at the same time use the stylus to press the RESET button. Release the stylus but keep pressing the SOFT KEYS until you see the Hard Reset warning screen. Release the SOFT KEYS and then press the LEFT PHONE KEY.

Just to be clear, the soft keys are those two above the keyboard when the device is slid open....? right? Also should the device be powered on when I do this? How long to I have to hold down the buttons? Thanks for all the help!
Thanks I was able to do the hard reset, I didnt know the correct soft keys.
