My diamond has froze, it seems when i turn it off and then back on that it will go to the main screen and then act as if im pressing programs all the time so will go to programs then not let me move anywhere else. As if the part of the screen is stuck, can anyone help or advise on what do here?

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?
Okay, so my phone is going crazy and it's really aggravating me! It worked fine for two days, but all of a sudden, when I tried to add a picture to my contacts, my phone began to frustrate the crap out of me!
So this is what happens.. When I hit the power button on the side to black out the screen or when it simply times out, the phone pretty much remains on, but I can not get the screen back on. Other times, when I boot the phone the backlight will fail to turn on and the phone won't even switch to landscape when I slide the phone open..
WHY?!?! I have the HTC Plugin installed with HTC Customizer and TomTom 6.. What is the deal?!
That does seem pretty strange. You weren't messing with the registry at all before that happened? Did you try soft reseting the device? (you probably did) If you have been adding and deleting a lot of cabs, apps and such lately then you may have to hard reset and start clean. If you do have to, don't forget to copy your pim.vol file over to your card for replacement after reset. Hopefully it won't come to a hard reset though. Good Luck, Kevin
Ah. I've already hard reset the phone twice...
I don't understand it.. It seems really quite ridiculous.. Could it be a hardware problem?
Hi
I have ATT TILT just updated to 6.1 and was working normally but after I installed HTC home customize it rebooted and since that it reboots itself few times and than just loads to home screen where is only is start calendar and contacts visible on the screen and none of buttons are not doing anything! not able to call or receive calls too. I cant navigate to settings to do hard reset. is there any other way to do hard reset, like combination of few buttons or anything? oh and when I connect to PC it could not be detected too. pls help thanks.
hard reset by presses both soft keys and inserting the stylus in the reset hole at the same time. Hope that helps....

take a look at the picture and put the stylus in the reset hole and while you are pressing both keys, you push the stylus in the hole. You will get a grayish screen telling you if you want to hard reset and you will press the green phone button. It might take a few times in case you have fat fingers...
or go here:

The device powers on. The buttons on the side and button work fine. The animations of the OS are working. I have tried a hard reset, soft reset, and standard power on/off. Does this mean I should try replacing the digitizer? Any ideas that I can get done by the end of the week before I go on vacation.

I think, You need screen calibration
One easy thing to try: Place the palm of your hand on the screen. Hold it there for 10 seconds. See if it works now. Helps if your hands are warm.
I've had the same problem with screen. It helps if you put your palm over the screen but it's only temporary solution. Does anybody know what is the reason for this and what needs to be done/replaced.
Would appreciate any help.
