Hi everyone,
I was using my nexus one with low battery, and then it shut down.
I went back to car, attached it to the recharger, and pushed power button.
At this point it turned on and a setup similar to first boot appeared (selection of language, date & time, google account)..
Once the setup was completed, I pressed the home button and associated it with Launcher Pro.
At this point a popup message appeared, saying (translated from italian):
"Sorry! Sudden interruption of the application Launcher Pro (process Android.process.acore). Retry.", with a button named "Retry".
- If I press the "Retry" button, the same popup message appears on and on again.
- If I shut the phone down and restart it, it asks for the SIM pin, the unlock pattern, and then the popup message appears again and again..
- I can't access the menu through the button, and I am stuck in this situation!..
- I tried to uninstall Launcher Pro via appbrain about two hours ago, but with no luck..
Any help would be much appreciated..
Thanks!
Nexus One

Assuming you aren't rooted, I just want to let you know you always have the last resort of resetting the phone back to default, so the phone itself is still fine.
With root, you can ADB and remove LauncherPro.
Hi cigar3tte,
I'm not rooted, so I could "reset the phone back to default".
Do you mean reset it to factory default (aka hard reset)?
Note: If I press the menu button at the bottom of the device, nothing happens and the popup keeps showing up
However, the procedure I found for the hard reset is this:
"With the phone shut off, while holding down the volume button on the side of the N1, press the power button briefly while maintaining the volume button pressed in for around 5-10 seconds.
You should be presented with a menu that allows for: Fastbook, Recovery, Clear Storage, and Simlock. You can release the volume button at this time.
Select Clear storage with the volume button up and down, then press and release the power button to make the selection.
It will ask you to confirm this decision. Press the yes button using the volume up."
Should i proceed so?
Thanks!

Yes, I meant a factory reset. Before doing so, check for any data you might want to save.
As for the method, what you found should work fine. I've never done a hard reset from the default recovery. I've only done it from the phone itself (which you can't access) and custome recovery.
Hi cigar3tte,
I followed your suggestion and did the shut-off-and-on procedure.
After that, I was asked to complete the initial configuration (time, google account, etc). and I am now on the home screeen!
Thank you so much for your help!
For future reference, you would probably have been able to fix this without wiping... turn the phone on, then when the X appears hold the trackball, it should boot in safe mode and you can remove/clear data as needs be.
AuraxTSense ROM - I know someone having this issue, anything they can try short of full wipe?

I've searched the forums, and can't find a report of anything similar...so this might be new...if it isn't, help locating a thread would be great.
- Downloaded Blackberry connect install cab
- Seems to install fine (log looked good before reboot)
- Press "ok" to reboot device, but upon reboot, the device screen is locked at the Windows Mobile screen
The unit seems to be operating fine... I can receive calls - the phone rings, the caller ID pops up, but it stays on top of the Windows Mobile boot screen...
The power button will not shut the unit off...only turns the locked screen on and off
Battery removal and reboot freezes at same spot.
I had deselected all the ActiveSync options including the 'connect via USB' option... and now can't view my device from my laptop...
I've had the TILT only a couple of days...I'm running the stock ATT Tilt ROM & software...added two themes (night palms and the planet reflection ones)... have a 6G microSD card with some songs, pictures, and a device backup...
Looking forward to your suggestions & solutions!!
I tried it on mine and it did the same. So I gave up and did the hard reset and started over without even attempting to install the bb connect.
after hard reset
thanks for the quick response...
the hard reset worked fine...
I repeated the bbconnect setup, this time installing to the device instead of to my card... everything worked fine.
How did you do a hard reset on it?
hard reset
a hard reset will wipe all your data and set it everything back to the default status...it isn't supposed to clear anything on your sd card ... i take mine out anyway.
to do a hard reset, hold both the soft buttons while pressing the reset button w/ the stylus (the reset button is on the bottom edge under the hard OK button )

One thing the instruction did not say rright was to hold the two soft keys and then press the reset then release and wait for the screen to give the instructions. Well the real way is to hold all 3 and wait and the process will be on its way.

this is just not working for me, how long are you pressing the stylus in? how long are you holding the buttons?
When I do it I get the AT&T logo screen (a short vibrate) then it continues to the windows mobile boot screen. I can never get the prompt to erase all data. I've tried the procedure a dozen times, no luck.
Make sure you are pressing the soft buttons and not the 'call' and 'end call' buttons as stated on some sites. Hold those and press stylus into reset until it turns off. Continue holding the buttons until the message comes up.
I've just had to do this for exactly the same reason!
I had the same problem on my Touch. After the hard reset I have found a solution: install application to device memory not on storage card. That helped me and now BB Connect is working fine.
Hi guyz,
big problem with my Wings...
I've tried to install SPB Traveller, discovering that doesn't work (was the version for pda).
Then i've disinstalled it and, immediately after, i have no more possibility to press buttons. Only once.
To be more precise...
Switch off the phone removing battery, switch it on again, enetr the pin correctly and, after WM6 screenshot, i'm able to press buttons only once. Not depending from the button...i can pres Start or Contacts, doesn't matter.
After pressing once there's no evidence to have any other button depressed.
I would like to hard reset the phone but, hao can i do if i cannot press any button??
Which is right procedure for hard reset the S730??
There is some shortcut in way not to enter into WM6??
Thanks a lot.
With the phone off, press both softkeys (the ones right under the screen) and then press the power button to turn it on. After a second or so (basically when it starts booting up) release only the power button, but keep the other two pressed.
After a moment you should see a screen asking you if you want to hard reset (you may release the buttons now), press the Send buttont (the green one) and it'll do it.
Soft keys should be "Start" and "Contacts"...i suppose.
I tried many times, releasing Power button keeping softkeys still pressed, immediately after Smart Mobility screenshot....after displaying of radio version, rom version, etc etc.....but it doesn't work.
I think i'm wrong in some passage. Sure that this process works on S730??
Could you be more clear about it, please?
Which boot i have to take care of? Initial settings (radio, rom, etc etc) or Windows Mobile?
Many thanks.
Yep, those are the buttons. And this procedure does work on the S730, as I had to use it once to restore my phone.
The only advise that comes to my mind is to keep the power button pressed a little bit longer than usual, I believe that's what I did.
Does anyone have any ideas on why I am unable to hard reset my diamond?
I've had a look around the forums but haven't been able to find anything.
Doing the standard Vol Down + Enter + reset but it only does a normal soft reset.
Is the "Clear storage and format internal storage" option from the system settings the closest to a hard reset?
Thx in advance

well yes - that is the closest. but before that (since it'll format internal storage too) try this:
1a. press the red soft reset button, release it and immediately (i mean immediately) follow 2 OR
1b. turn off ur fone - keep the top power button pressed, and tap yes to turn it off... once turned off... press once and release the power button and immediately follow 2. OR
1c. take the battery out. put it back in and press the power button once and release and immediately follow 2:
2. press and KEEP PRESSED... Vol Down & Enter (center circle) until the screen shows up asking u to format blah blah...
Are you holding the Vol. DN. & Enter buttons, or just pressing & releasing?
I find the easiest way is to follow steps 1c & 2 written by Cloudedhopes. But, here is a more detailed instruction if you need:
1) Remove, then replace battery {ensures the device is completely off}
2) Press & HOLD: Vol. DN. & Enter buttons
3) Press & release: Power button
4) Release Vol. Dn. & Enter buttons only after grey confirmation screen appears!!! <Very important!
5) Press Vol. Up {resets main memory only; Internal storage is not affected}
6) Wait for device to reboot {You are now hard reset}
If this does not work then, there is something wrong with your hardware. Check to make sure the Vol & enter buttons all work.
@ CloudedHopes: Using the "Clear Storage" program will not clear out the Internal Storage unless you ask it to.
Worked
Thanks to cloudedhopes and Humblehippie
Finally got it boy's
A funny story to it
I had one of those thick mirror screens (screen protectors) on my diamond screen and also on the HW buttons (inluding the Enter button).
The enter button worked fine, or so I thought, for exmaple, I would select calender and hit the Enter button and it would open up the calendar no problem.
So her I am thinking its something else
Anyway, I remove the plastic bit form the Enter button and try to hard reset... VIOLA! Hard reset worked.
Moral of the story? Does not seem to be competely idiot proof
Thanks again guys

I have a big problem guys and need good help fast...
My diamond flipped out on me last night. Soft reset doesnt do squat and it keeps freezing at the first page displaying text: Touch Diamond (and some red lettering on the bottom taht indicates the ROM or some thing like that)
I have tried a hard reset and it doesnt do anything different, just keeps showing the screen where it used to freeze up before and the buttons doesnt do s**t (buttons all worked properly before, I was doing some web surfing and listening to music when it crashed the first time, so I was adjusting the volume and using the enter key quite often)
Now, everything I have tried just keeps freezing it up at that same "welcome/bootup screen and I seem to be quite "bent over" right now...
Do you guys know about an issue regarding my problem and a possible solution? (need the phone for work and all my costumers infos are on it with a backup of it on the internal memory (I know, not bright at all and I realize it now!!)
Any help and suggestions are more then welcome...
HELP!!
I have managed to do hard reset after all...
It seems that my version of the touch diamond is different, even from my users manual
To do a hard reset I must hold POWER, VOLDOWN and ENTER, then press the soft reset button...
But afterthe hard reset, I found out anotherproblem... Opera doesnt work anymore, seems like its not even installed! Its missing a bunc of files.
Did the hard reset had a problem and screwed up the reinitialization process or is it normal?
How can I get it working? (IE is not to my taste and cant even do the landscape mode)
Please someone, need some help!!

So far just found how to make dualboot but for this purpose i have to enter file explorer... which i can't do because I have a password at beginning before even start the OS's interface. If someone can help me please wite here or at my skype didkuivanov
In this guide i am going to explain you how to install a custom ROM using phone.
You need PC just to copy ROM on memory card, nothing more, nothing less.
First thing you need to do, is to check do you have Hard-SPL installed on your XPeria X1, follow next two steps to check that.
1. Turn off you phone.
2. Hold volume down button and PRESS AND HOLD POWER BUTTON, hold these two buttons pressed until three-colored screen shows up.
If in top left corner of the screen shows
"SPL-0.72.OliNex" (or what version you have)
That's important, if that is not shown, DO NOT CONTINUE!
POWER button will not work, so remove cover and battery, and put it back on.
Install ROM :
1. Power on phone
2. Connect your XPeria X1 to PC in Disk Drive mode.
3. Transfer the custom ROM you want to install on ROOT of memory card and make sure that it's named "kovsimg.nbh" (Sometimes when you download custom ROM, there will be several files in that ZIP/RAR you downloaded, but you only need ".nbh" file, and if that ".nbh" file is named "ruu_signed.nbh" rename it to "kovsimg.nbh")
4. Disconnect phone from USB, and shutdown phone.
5. Hold volume down button and PRESS AND HOLD POWER BUTTON, hold these two buttons pressed until three-colored screen shows up.
6. Three-colored screen will stays for one or two second, and then there will be a message on screen
"KOVSIMG.nbh - "
"OS - "
"Press the power button to start the update image"
"Press Action button to cancel update image"
PRESS POWER BUTTON, and installation begins.
7. When it reaches 100% it will say "UPDATE SUCCESSFULL". Again, POWER BUTTON will not work, so remove cover and battery, and put it back on, but don't power on phone.
8. (IMPORTANT) I strongly reccomend to HARD RESET PHONE BUT BEFORE YOU EVER BOOT IT!
9. Hard Reset - (Phone is off) Press two buttons below screen (left and right) and hold it, and press the power button UNTIL VIBRATE, then release the power button, BUT STILL HOLD TWO BUTTONS BELLOW THE SCREEN (IMPORTANT)
10. It's shown "This operation will delete all your personal data and reset all the settings to the manufacturer default settings, press "R" to restore manufacturer defaults or press "X" to cancel." Slide keyboard and press "R" wait for a few seconds, and it will show "Restore completed press Space to restart" so press space and slide in keyboard.
You have successfully installed your first custom ROM, now align screen and set date & time, and that's it. First time, it will take three to four minutes to boot, that's called "Cold Boot"
another great thread
"9. Hard Reset - (Phone is off) Press two buttons below screen (left and right) and hold it, and press the power button UNTIL VIBRATE, then release the power button, BUT STILL HOLD TWO BUTTONS BELLOW THE SCREEN (IMPORTANT)"
this step is extremely important. i messed up the first time and my phone was noticably slow lol.

Thank you again yeaah, i messed up the first time also, becase it wasn't explaint very well
I have to say I liked the "Task 29" thread better. A lot of information here is redundant. In principle both threads describe the same process (SD card flashing).
Only this one is Task 29 short (which suposedly is important in flashing).
I expected this thread to describe the USB flashing method, which is in fact different. But it's more-or-less the same really... with more detailed naming descriptions... but minus Task 29.
The other thread has the potential to be a complete guide to SD flashing. Only steps missing is Hard-SPL - if it hasn't been done already. This one - less so.

Okay, there is maybe redundant information, but i wanted to people know what exactly will phone show, and exactly what to do! Little more information won't harm, but a half-explained instruction may lead to some errors...
problems after installing custom rom on htc dsire
Hi there Description: I’m even scared to write… Description:
Newbie Noobie here. Greetings!
Got myself a birthday present a few days ago – HTC Desire.
If it helps, here are the details:
======
Firmware version: 2.2
i rooted my phone and then followed the steps to install custom rom
Anyway, here’s my problem (there were posts about it before as well).
Once I reach point 5 in Step 2 [i.e. Turn off your phone & turn it back on holding POWER + VOL DOWN then use vol up/down to scroll down to ‘Recovery‘ and power to select.] after I click ‘Recovery’ my screen either stays white with the green HTC logo or just goes black – in either case, that’s it… nothing happens and no buttons work.
The first time it happened I almost got a heart attack (well, which noobie didn’t?) because I thought I’d just bricked my baby… Right now it is still the only way for me to do ANYthing after getting the black screen…
Any suggestions/help will be more than welcome! Thanks in advance!!!
(And sorry for the long post… I always need long intros and all the details listed to make myself as clear as possible)
Please do help me
i am nearly crying while typing it
email me the response
cheers

I have never used HTC Desire, i am XPeria X1 user... but my guess is that you do not need to go to recovery mode, i meen on my XPeria i just enter bootloader mode (Volume down + power) and ROM load itself... This tutorial is about XPeria, so... maybe you should post your problem to HTC Desire thread... Good luck... let us know what was the problem

I searched but couldn't find anything on this. I have a user who has the AT&T Note 3. She likes to use easy mode. However she cannot use call waiting. It doesn't allow her to. If she turns off easy mode, it works just fine. Her boyfriend has the verizon model and it works fine for him in easy mode. Is there something i'm missing on the AT&T version. When i put her phone in easy mode, i checked to make sure that call waiting was ticked following these instructions:
From the Home Screen tap Phone.
Press the Menu key.
Tap Call settings.
Tap Additional settings.
Tick/Untick Call waiting.
If anyone can assist would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!
EDIT: If someone with a Note 3 on AT&T can test with their phone to see if it works, would be much appreciated. Just put your phone in Easy mode and then see if you can put a call on hold. This would help me out quite a bit and would let me know if its her phone or just AT&T stopping it from working. Thanks!
2nd EDIT: I contacted Samsung and they said it should work but doesn't. This is what Samsung said "If the Call waiting working in Standard mode and it is activated from the Carrier, we request you to reset the app preferences by following the below steps:
From the home screen touch menu or apps > settings > more > application manager > swipe the screen to left till you see “All” > touch menu > tap on Reset app preferences.
After that, please perform the soft reset on the phone.
Soft reset refreshes the device internal circuitry.
1. Turn off the handset.
2. Remove the battery and wait for 30 seconds.
3. Reinsert the battery and turn ON the device.
If the issue persists, please clear the cache of the device by following the below steps.
These troubleshooting steps will not delete the data of the device. However, the cache files and bug files will be cleared.
1.Power the device off (remove and re-insert the battery).
2.Press and hold the Volume Up key and the Home key, then press and hold the Power key.
3.When the device vibrates; release only the Power key.
4.When the Android system recovery menu displays; release the Volume Up and the Home key.
5.Navigate with the Volume keys to the “Wipe cache partition” option and press the Power key to select.
6.After user data deletes, press the Power key to reboot system now. "
None of the above worked. Went to Bestbuy and had the Samsung tech try it. He had an AT&T Note 3 and we tested. It did the same thing for him. I believe it maybe an issue with the KitKat update but not 100% sure. I will let Samsung and AT&T know and see if they can fix the issue.
