I'm using an app to set the phone to silent and vibrate off. If I then turn off the phone it will not get past the vz 4g logo and I have to reset the phone. This happened with several of these type of apps. This is a stock non rooted phone.
Any options?

battery pull/ audio manager widget
Have you tried a battery pull instead of a data factory reset? It just seems odd to me that you would have to do a factory reset.
Audio Manager is what I use to conrol every aspect of my phone's audio to include vibration on/off.

i believe this too. its happened to me twice and both times i had different programs that had my phone toggled to silent.

Hey all about a year ago I bought an evo and boxed up my hero. Recently I decided to pull the hero out so I can root it and toy around a bit. Well when I turn it on it gets to the lock screen and doesn't want to respond to anything I do with the touch screen. Sometimes I can swipe the unlock bar and hit power and power again and it will unlock to my home screen. But most of the time nothing happens.
I've tried a soft reset - menu, phone, power. I've tried recovery from hboot. I've tried removing the battery and powering up hundreds of times. I've tried pressing my task killer widget from the home screen. One time I was able to get to the home screen and got the turn phone off window but it powered down and when I reset same issue.
Before I activated my evo I had no issues with the hero I initially just wanted the bigger screen. I never tried any hacks or rooting it. I stored it in a safe place, never damaged it. I'm shooting blanks now. Very strange.
Anyone have any ideas? Any suggestions would be appreciated...

Where'd you store it? Maybe some extreme temperature or pressure messed it up.
Hard to diagnose since you didn't root it or anything. Probably something inside got messed up. That's all I can figure.

Have you tried pressing Volume Down and Turning it on, then Doing a factory Reset that way? Also Try to Remove the Sdcard and Turning it on...
Good Luck!
Cool thanks for the replies. I'll give the factory reset a try without the SD card when I get home tonight. I've also been using the hero battery as a back up for my evo as they use the same battery. So if all fails I still have that.

Thanks PMGRANDS, removing the SD card and booting through recovery worked. Everything is working smoothly, rooting tonight let the fun begin...
My htc one enters car mode automatically and won't exit it. I tried factory data resetting my phone but it didn't help. Thus my phone enters loudspeaker mode automatically when I place a call. Please somebody provide me with a solution. How can I get rid of this app since this app won't uninstall normally????????
I had this on my old HTC, try blowing out your charging port, might be lint making it think it's docked.

I turned on the new extreme power saver mode when my battery was low, which gives you a limited home screen. If I try to exit it, it just hangs at "Please wait...". There is no way for me to get back to my regular home screen, apps, setup, etc. I can launch the browser from my lock screen, but I do not have access to the pulldown shade. I've tried soft and hard rebooting the phone. I'm fully stock s-on.
Anyone else have trouble with this? Any way for me to get back to a normal working phone?
I contacted HTC support, they said there may be apps that interfere with the extreme power saver mode. I had to factory reset the phone.
Hopefully they figure out the issues.
Here's how I got out of it. I went into kid mode by pressing the power button. Then I rebooted into safe mode. Then I deactivated it and rebooted. It happened a few days ago. Play around with turning it on and off if it doesn't work! Never touching that mode for a while!

So after upfront to lollipop yesterday. I'm listening to music on my phone, it's off in my pocket. My music stops and disconnects from my Bluetooth. I check my phone only to find it in the middle of a factory reset and all my apps and data are gone. Most of it is recoverable but this is still a nightmare. Has anyone else experienced this?? My phone has a pin so I'm not sure how it got to the factory reset screen. My new apn was set to euinternet after. Any suggestions, should I send it in for service?

Did you have double tap to wake enabled?
Sometimes, I'd find that having double tap to wake while having my phone in my pocket would totally screw with a bunch of random settings like my clock settings in my lock screen etc. Could be possible that your phone somehow factory reset itself in the same way.
It was enabled but still had a pin that I'm surprised if my pocket entered this correctly. Screw tap to wake of this is the reason.
Edit: and now I realize that it also wiped my SD card in the process.
If the unlock PIN is entered incorrectly too many times, a factory reset is performed to make sure your data doesn't end up in the wrong hands. This feature prevents an unauthorized person from systematically guessing your PIN by limiting the amount of retries within a certain period of time. It is built-in to Android and not a Sony feature.
Double tap to wake probably woke your phone up in your pocket and went crazy entering the wrong PIN over and over again until a factory reset was triggered.

Blackberrys had a feature where you had to type the word 'blackberry' after 5 incorrect pins to prevent pocket lockouts.

My phone froze last night while listening to music, the music was still playing but the screen was unresponsive. So out of habit I shut down the phone because when I hold the power button the turn off option still happens. I restart my phone and the startup animation shows and after that the screen goes back to black. I have tried a force start using the power and volume button but I'm not completely aware of all of the specific options to do with that. I have a pebble that allows me to control some aspects of my phone over bluetooth and I still get emails and can turn on music with the pebble.

sounds liek a SystemUI crash. if youre stock, you may want to consider factory resetting. if rooted and rommed, I'd reflash your ROM
