I have received an XDA IIs from a collegue, and would like to sync it with my notebook with my Outlook, but it's full of all his Outlook stuff.
How can I blank out the phone so that when I sync it with my notebook it will remove all of my collegues data and just leave mine?
Probally not the answer you're looking for, but I would do a hard reset to get rid of everything on it (power + record + reset switch)

Hi, I have some kind of SW problem, maybe: when I soft reset device and then press "green phone" button, it opens an phone application, but then I cant close the app via X button; so press "red phone" button and phone app seems to be closed, BUT - then I cant start it again at all.
Calls from contact list and answering on calls are okay.
Do you have some idea? It happened seddenly.
Thanks, Hulito
the quickest thing to do would be to hard reset the device. this sorts out all the little problems, the only thing is that you have to reinstall all ur apps again. remember to backup texts, call logs, calender, etc before doing so.
i use sprite backup and hard resting is a doddle now. reset the device (about 5 mins), run the backup (max 10 mins) and put on the finishing touches (about 5mins) and hey presto, my ppc is back to normal
Could anyone offer any advice? I intalled a pocket pc 2003 app on my orbit without realising the consiquences!
System details:
xda orbit
WM6
Meschle - Artemis touch 2.1 WWE
I installed a remote pda control app to the device. It then asked me to do a soft reset,which i did.
Now the phone wont start up. It just hangs at the end of the rotating cube splash screen.
I've tried various resets inc reoving the battery - no joy.
I know you guys and gals know all there is to know about these things so any advice would be great.
i had a similar problem after installing a piece of software. Ended up doing a hard reset (hold down two soft button, and press reset with stylus).
WARNING!!! - YOU WILL LOOSE ALL DATA STORED ON PHONE!!!
anything stored on SIM card or SD card will not be deleted
Hope this helps.
thanks for the reply.
when i do the hard reset, it tells me to press the 'send' button to proceed.
Does anyonr know which button it means?
Sorry for being so thick

I have bought a cingular 8525 smartphone on ebay and the phone has a personal password in order to log on, and I have no clue what the personal password is as well as the person who sold it to me. If you have any idea how to crack the personal password please post the instruction on the forum other wise this phone will stay on my shelf as a display for its entire life.
Hard-reset it, then you can use it.
unlock personal password
What do yo mean hard-reset it ?..... would you mind to be more explicit and that way I know what to do in order to unlock the personal password.
Thanks

Typically, in order to hard reset, you have to hold down BOTH soft keys while you soft reset.
So, hold down both SOFT KEYS and poke the stylus thru the little whole on the side of the phone.

I DONT KNOW UR UNIT...MINE IS XDA IIS...BUT IM HAVING THE SAME PROBLEM WITH PASSWORD...IF APPLIED TO MY UNIT...
ABOVE SOLUTION IS APPLICABLE TO WM2003 WHERE ALL DATA IS STORED IN RAM.
BUT HOW ABOUT IN WM6? I HV JUST UPGRADED TO WM6 3DAYS AGO...THEN SUDDENLY...WHEN I TURNED ON MY DEVICE AND ENTER MY PASSWORD...PASSWORD WAS NOT ACCEPTED!!! TRIED TO RESET....NOTHING HAPPENED...TRIED TO FLASH THE ROM AGAIN BUT NOTHING HAPPENED. IS THERE ANY WAY TO GET AROUND? HACK? ETC? PLS HELP. TNK U VERY MUCH IN ADVANCE.
MY UNIT: XDA IIs with wm6 from Helmi
maria_terie: obviously, it's because you seem to always leave "Caps Lock" on, probably while you entered your password as well.
Same happened with my XDA2s but just following the instructions below help me fix the problem, hope it might help you too..
1) Use two fingers to simultaneously press the RECORD and CAMERA buttons of the phone (on the phone's left side). Whilst these two buttons are depressed, use the stylus to click the soft-reset button underneath the phone - keep the two buttons depressed until the boot loader screen appears.
2) This should enable three options on the boot screen. These options allows a YES/NO response. Use the RECORD and CAMERA buttons to navigate between the options, and switch the YES/NO values. Set the following:
1] Enable KITL: NO (this is a debug tracing option which isn't required, except possibly for developers)
2] Format Registry Hive: YES (clears the registry)
3] Format Storage: YES (formats the internal memory: "\" directory, and under "\RamDisk\". Items under any storage card "\Storage Card\" are not formatted).
3) Once these options are set, press the MAIL button (in between today and the Pocket IE button) to confirm these options, and continue with the Registry and Storage format.
4) The device performs the reset, and the Windows CE setup screens (ie. screen alignment etc.) appear. Continue as per a new install...HOPE IT HELPS YOU!
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
When I turn on my TP2 I get a red 'Vodafone' screen and nothing else.
I've tried to reset (vol up + vol down + power) and still the red screen, assuming this is the correct way to reset and TP2 is same as Blackstone.
I've called Voda and was offered an exchange but got cut off and have not had a chance to call them back yet.
Anyone know if this is fixable, or is the phone bricked?
