Menu items stopped responding - MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 General

Hi there, my XDA2s has sudenly stopped responding to any menu items. As soon as I click to go to progams or settings or anything, it jumps back to the main screen. Why??????
The only thing I did on my phone last night was to copy new mp3 files onto the sd card. No new software, nothing.
How do I resolve this, I can't even answer phone calls at the moment - it's driving me nuts.
Someone please help.
TIA

Do you mean that even from the moment you turn on the phone that the screen is in night mode "dark"?
If you need to do a hard reset you dont need a code. Have attached instructions in pic Remove the storage card before you hard-reset.

And how would he do that? He has no lcd as soon as he turns on his device...
You are in need of a new LCD screen.
I ask about IE and MP cause sometimes, when your battery is weak, not as in 25%charged. Just weak as in about to hit the dirty road dead, it might suck up all the juice and turn LCD off to conserve energy.
he doesnt need a new lcd.. seems a hard reset fixed his problem, probably why he hasnt replied.

Touchflo 3d not autolaunching after reset at times.

Is anyone else having the problem where after a soft reset(or a manual shutdown/restart) touchflo3d doesn't autostart?
It happens to me about 50% of the times I reset, but I jus thave to switch it off again and on again and usually it works fine.
Totally different, but I have this sometimes with Touch Flo 2D on my TyTn II. I usually get it if I've installed to much, It always launches if I haven't got the Micro SD card in though.
I've had this happening to me since I got it, and after a few hard resets it still happens... Seemingly at an increasing frequency too.
Yup, I'm experiencing the same problem.
It's really annoying, and more people are having this issue.
There's already a thread about this.
What works for me most of the time is this:
- Disable TF3D in settings.
- Soft reset device with power button
- Enable TF3D again
- Sometimes TF3D starts now, but if not reset again.
I can't wait for a more stable and fast cooked rom
Hope this helps
Oh Sorry, I couldn't find the other thread. I just keep resetting and hopee it randomly decides to starts. Love this phone, just a few things that really annoy me
The inability to find a way to make it autolock(not standby) after X seconds for example. If anyone can help with that, I'd greatly appreciate it.

DId you install any apps?
These kind of problems are mostly caused when 2 programs interfere with eachother. Teh reason why one time it does start up and the other time it doesn't is the sequence of programs starting up. Most of the time touch flow 3d will start later (because it's so big)
i have had this happen a couple of times as well.

I doubt it's caused by that. I've hard reset it installed core and tomtoma nd had it happen..
and I'm sure it's not just slow to start up, I've tried making calls and simply leaving it for 10 minutes and it still doesnt start up.
It only started haooening to me after I instaled software.
I guess the best thing to do right now, is to install all software with touchflo disabled, then reboot completly the device to finalize the instaltion, and then reboot it again. Now you can reactivate Touchflo again.
This "trick" has worked perfectly on my Pro 2
HastaSSSS
disable startup
Many programs that you install will leave a startup file in the windows\startup directory. Try cutting and pasting them to some temporary directory. I did that with poutlook and slovoed and the problem has gone away for me, without in any way impairing my calendar/contacts or slovoed functioning.
I got the same problem too.. soft resetting a few times do it or disable/re-enable on Personal-Today Items screen
Kinda annoying
Same problem here. Spoke to HTC today and tol them there were more people having this problem. Mine is so serious that it won't start at all! HTC says I was the first and ONLY one in the world with this problem. They told me that if there were more people having this issue they should CALL HTC. It's free to call them... please do so in finding a solution!
Thanks!
I am suffering under the same issue! It is really annoying! HTC should immediately sovle this problem!
Sounds a bit like my thread here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=3950507
I copied manila.exe from windows to my start-up folder, now it works fine.
yeah i have the same problem its really annoying. it works about 90% of the time now when i copied the manilla.exe to start up folder. before that i tried to put the phone in airplane mode before booting but that worked like half of the time.

Does the time on the tf3d homescreen update ok when you use the manila.exe shortcut?
touch flor not loading
My phone is hanging again. I can't get it to load Touch Flo 3D. I get this message that it's trying to activate handsfree network and then it says connected and reboots and goes through the same thing 2 or 3 times. I hard reset back in Dec cause of this and then the same thing happened again about a month ago and out of the blue it loaded touch flo and fixed itself.
But this time it's been a couple days and my phone is so slow it's crazy. It's been trying to remove one program for 20 minutes. I thought removing a few programs might help instead of doing another hard reset but it looks like i'm gonna have to do one more.. I haven't added anything new lately. And I even got a message saying your phone can not boot up because of a program from an untrusted source or something else and it wants me to hard reset. It says press volume up to reset or any key to continue and then it goes to that hands activation screen.
Iv'e tried enableing and disabling bluetooth. Sprint store said I have a bad phone cause of that hands free actication message I keep getting and they want to order me aother phone but it's going to be a refurb so I guess i'll hard reset.. Something is causeing it to hang and not load and I don't know what it is.. But I came here and I tired puttingmy phone in airplane mode and rebooted nothng. I have unchecked and checked touch flo and rebooted..
But I went to windows and saw manilla.exe cause you guys said copy it to start up and I clicked on it and I saw my background and clock again but I don't think Touch Flo fully loaded and my task manager wasn't at the top and I ran clean ram cause it was still slow and it said it freed up 32mb but then my screen went black again. I put it in airplane mode once more and took out the battery. But when I never pasted the manila to start up should I do that? I just clicked on it and saw where my clock and background were back but my clock was off by like 15-20 minutes.. I'm sure I'll probablyt have to hard reset but wanted to ask around a couple more times before doing one.. Rose
I was sitting in my den and my friend said he texted me but I didn't get it. I went to check my phone and it seemed ok but no text. I then went to make a phone call and it hung. I went to turn it to airplane mode and it froze. When I restarted it, now I get the black screen with the top and bottom menu bar but no touchflo 3d loading. I get some weird hands free activation message and then it says successful and reboots my phone. When the phone starts back up it is in the same condition without touchflo 3d and the reboot loop continues unless I click cancel.
If I run manilla.exe it will boot up and my today screen will come back but it is SLOW and it doesn't seem to have completely loaded.
WTF happened and how do I fix this?
Same thing happened to me.. Touchflo wouldn't load phone was so slow hands free message kept coming and saying connected and rebooting. I did a hard reset and was good for a couple months then out of the blue on day it did it again. I turned off phone and left battery off overnight and just got lucky and the next day as I was getting in my car it came back on.
But then a few weeks later it did it again and I took it to a Sprint store. I was told that the handsfree activation is something that only happens once when you 1st get a new phone and they said my phone was defective. They were going to order me another one but it was going to be refurbed so I never picked up and just dealt with a hard reset once again. Don't know what causes this but I've had my phone reset for over a week and I just now tonight started putting apps back on cause I was afraid ut had to do with something I installed I really don't know what causes it.. But my touchflo wouldn't load at all compeltely black screen no today screen at all and boy was my phone slow. I went to windows and clicked on manilla.exe also and saw my today screen but it was still slow and not completely loading up to touchflo like you said. And then I read about putting it in airplane mode turning off BT nothing worked for me this last time so I did a heard reset again..
Maybe someone else knows what causes this but I'm leary and am not going to put everything back on my phone that was on there but I've put most everything back.. Sorry I wasn't much help but same thing for me hands free siad connected and would reboot and over and over.. I kind of want an Android phone now and I don't think Sprint should of offered me a refurb when I just bought this in Sept and it's an expensive phone. But oh well things happen.. Good Luck!

Weird errors all of a sudden

Hi, all. Please forgive a newbie's probable lack of etiquette.
So I've had my AT&T Tilt2 for a couple months now, and everything's been working beautifully. All of a sudden over the last few days, a few really annoying issues have popped up out of nowhere.
1. Out of the blue, Opera will no longer connect via WiFi. It had been working, now it doesn't
2. Periodically I'll look at my phone, and instead of "Start" in the upper left, it says "Messaging" and the clock is frozen at some earlier time in the day. A simple touch of the screen clears the problem, but it's annoying.
3. Sometimes, "Start" is replaced with "NewsBreak" and an error message ("Access is denied") has appeared as a running app in list in the upper right, but never actually pops up as an error message unless I choose it from the list. When I clear the error, "NewsBreak" goes away.
4. The sliding keyboard is sometimes unresponsive (messaging, internet, doesn't matter). To get it to respond, I have to click the physical "start" button at the bottom of the phone, then close the start menu. After doing that, the keyboard works fine.
All these problems started about the same time without having modified the phone in any way. Anybody ever seen these before?
Thanks!
p.s. Audio from the built-in speaker is really distorted. Is that normal for this phone, or is my speaker faulty?
Not sure why you have problems but windows does get corrupted from time to time. Just today I had to hard reset and load a saved known good back up when the phone would go to sleep and not be able to be turned on with out a soft reset.
Hard reset it, loaded backup, resynced and all is good now. Somthing must have got goofy.

[Q] Strange problem: Suddenly bottom of the screen starts to be tapped repeatedly

Hi,
I got my Galaxy Nexsus today in Asia from a shop.
I start to play with it and from time to time suddenly it without my help bottom of the screens gets tapped repeatedly! pressing home, back and apps list buttons again and again.
I was wondering if anyone else have the same problems and if the best guess is to be a hardware problem (I will be screwed as I bought it from a shop! ) or a software bug (I can wait for an update as mine if 4.0.2).
Cheers,

No problem here.
Try to remove the battery first. Wait one minute.
If it does not work, try to reset the phone (All apps/settings/backup&reset/factory data reset). You will lose everything!
If the problem persists, maybe it is a hardware problem.
Only if Pointer Location is on?
Thanks tigajr,
Can someone enable the "Pointer Location" option from "Developer Options" and play with phone and see if it happens?
I think when it is off from the start of phone everything is fine. But when I enable this feature after a while bottom of the screen gets tapped repeatedly.
