Soft reset loses some button assignments - MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 General

Just as the topic states, I have one program, SmallMenuPlus, by Tillanosoft that's assigned to button 7 (the Camera button.) Every soft reset forces this back to the default of Camera. Other programs do stick.
I'm using a PDA2K with the latest ROM from iMate.
Thanks.

Disabling the camera button

I get really fed up with the camera turning on everytime I accidently press the button. So I set the camera button to 'none' which did the trick, until I soft reset. I have to re-do the change after every soft reset. Have any of you come across this problem or better still have a solution?
I even installed Battery Pack Pro but the 'power button' settings are ignored, so if I set the camera button to none for both tap and hold when I press it the camera appears!
Please help this is driving me mad.
Are you on WM5? It might be an unresolved issue.
Otherwise, try to assign a different application to the camera button and see if it remembers it.
I'm using 2003 se.
I'll try allocating a different app and see if it's remembered.
thanks

what is your device model my friend???
T-Mobile MDA III running the standard T-Mobile ROM - although I have upgraded the radio ROM. But this problem has always existed.
just go at the windows/startup directory. You will see there a camera_detect program. This is what reassigns the camera application on the camera button every time you soft reset. Just delete it.
Brilliant.
These things are so easy when you know the answer!
Many thanks.
i had that same problem and fixed it the same way =)

Sticky button assignments after soft reset

Hello,
I have an Alpine and, as most other owners also seem to do, often perform a soft reset. How can I set up the buttons so that they don't reset to the default assignments after the soft reset? I'm left-handed and I'm constantly starting the camera by accident if I don't re-assign that button.
Thanks in advance,
Tim

Hard reset and Imate/o2 setup software?

Happy new year!!! I have a 02 XDA EXEC running I-mate software as i believe it runs better. The 02 software crashed back to the blank screen with Version 1.1 and i reloaded it with the information i found amoungst these threads. A friend of mine just bought the JASJAM and i was wondering can i complete a hard reset on my universal and reload it from his disc. If not can someone 'please' point me into the right direction for the latest version of either 02 or I-Mate running gear. Cheers.
Koomaview: why did you name this thread "Test only, Not For Sale"?
Jabberwockies only fry applejuice on a Thursday!
But anyway, the various versions of O2 software are available on this forum.
Hardreset is achieved by launching the clearstorage app on your phone.
Another method:
"press and hold the backlight (lightbulb) button and use the stylus to press the reset button. Hold the backlight until you get a menu with three options. Use the dpad up button to move from item to item, use the down button to select yes or no. Set Clean Registry and Format Storage to YES and press the middle dpad button to reboot."
Try hardreset first to get factory settings. Factory setting apps should also reinstall themselves. Otherwise, grab the o2 software on the forum or the ftp.

Thanks for the reply. Yeah not sure why i called it that. It came into my head because when i perform a soft reset i get the words 'Test Only, Not For Sale' appear on the first blue i-mate screen. Whats your opinion regarding 02 v's I-Mate? I just want the best or latest running gear before i load my navigation program and flight planning software.

What happens when you take away the battery and plug it again.
Then You try to boot, it works ?
Then if not you try to hard reset, It works ?
Just to know...

To do a hard reset.
Press both soft keys and insert stylus into soft reset button and press.
Release the soft reset button and keep pressing the soft keys.
When the "This operation will delete all your personal data, to manufacturer default" appears on screen.
Press Green call button to restore manufacturer default, or press other keys to cancel.
The bootloader is invoked by pressing down the Power and Voicedialer buttons simultaneously, and using the stylus at the same time to press the RESET button at the left side. Continue pressing the two buttons for a few seconds after pressing and releasing the reset button until the bootloader screen appears.

hi

Hard Reset??? and others

Hi.....
I have an wm6 xda with a broken mail button and I'm trying to hard reset it for upgrading. Is there a possible way to do the upgrade with the button while using windows 7 (using WMDC) or I need XP to do it.
Another problem with my BA is
1. If I slide it up, the screen will be distorted and will fade to white.... (Is this a Hardware problem??)
2. My stylus always point is not accurate in one point (the right side).
Are you trying to do the hard reset before or after you flash the ROM? You enter the bootloader first(Record + Power + Reset) Then flash it. Then after its done you press power + record. That should be it. You only need the mail button to do a wm6 hard reset without upgrading the ROM
1. That sounds like a hardware problem
2. Maybe try aligning your screen. If that doesn't help it could also be a hardware problem. How much is it off by?
that is not true, after upgrading you need to hard reset the device, and for that you need the mail button, because after you upgraded and entered the hard reset menu by pressing power+reset+record+camera you set the options right by flipping them all, using the camera and record buttons and then confirm your choice by pressing the mail button.
but i agree about the other problems:
screen - hardware issue
touch - align screen
just my 2 cents
