Hello, i was messing around with the phone today and when i restarted it the screen that says tap to enable (or w/e forgot) touchflow3d changed color to teal and i think it's usually black (just bought phone today). Is that normal or i accidentally changed something? I would like to change it back to black.
That is strange and shouldn't happen. Could you please do a soft reset and see if the problem persists?
Yes, i've tried resetting a couple of times and it's still like that.
Try giving it a hard reset then...somethings gone wrong in your settings. A hard reset should solve but you will lose all you data as it will wipe the internal storage clean.

Yesterday and today I have had a little issue. When I turn it on it boots up fine and when it gets to the htc screen it dims and when it is fully booted the backlight is pretty dim and the slideout does not make a sound nor does the screen change orientation?? I try to turn it off and the hour glass just spins and I have to remove the battery. I have tried soft reset with no results, but if I do a sync it clears it up and all works great?? I have not tried a hard reset thought I would check with you guys first for any ideas???? Thanks

if you've installed 3rd-party apps, i'd remove one at a time to see if they could be causing the problem... if that doesn't work, then a hard reset may be the best route. good luck!
Thanks I will give that a shot. Must be something at startup.

i had the same problem after tomtom frozed up my device. soft resets just resulted in nothing working but it also boots fine when i'm connected to my computer using activesync. i used the backup program that came with with phone and went back a week and that seemed to solved the problem.
Thanks I wish I had of tried that but I finally did a hard reset and that worked. I also left tomtom off for a bit and see how it goes. The only thing different is I traveled one time zone and when I returned all the trouble started. My computer also switched time zone when I synced???? Wierd....

I have had the same problem with my vodafone V1615, was working fine, first hing that seemed to happen to me was i plugged in the wired head set and the screen switched off and would not come back on. Did a normal reset and came back on but power button would not switch the phone off or on. TomTom and Sprite backup both would not work along with other programs.
Tried several soft resets all exactly same, boot up but wont run and power button not working, also the screen stays dim.
Only thing other than the head set was i plugged it in to TomTom Home but did not download anything, i did try a backup using it but that failed.
Anyone else managed to clear this without hard resetting as my only backup is just after i got the phone before i installed the full UK maps so a real pain in the ass.

I tried removing all third party stuff one at a time and soft resetting and still the same problem you have. Once I did the hard reset it was fine...Pain in the A.. wish I knew what the glitch was????

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 ?
I'm not sure what I did - it was working find not too long ago today. Now when I turn it on, it shows the HTC Diamond screen, then the Sprint animation, then what looks like the outlines of two windows opening in quick succession, then the screen goes blank, yet you can clearly tell the black light is on. I've tried a hard reset, but Down Vol+Home+Soft Reset does nothing, just boots as described above. Anyone know if there's a different command for a hard reset on the CDMA ver.?
Well, I figured out how to hard reset it and that did the trick. Too bad I lost all my info.
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.
