how do you hard reset the orbit?
What keys?
not sure what key combination although it should be on wiki....but one way is to use the 'clear storage' program (in programs or settings)
this 2 key+reset
this might be a silly question but whats the difference between hard and sort rest?
is there data lose? i.e contacts, calender entries, music, photos, applications, settings etc.
yup, Hard Reset clears all memory and personal Data and puts the Device in Delivery conditions.
Soft Reset, only reboots the Device... Never confuse these

Hard reset:
Press both soft keys (- and -) and insert stylus into soft reset button on the left and press.
Release the soft reset button and keep pressing the soft keys.

Press green call button (send) to restore manufacturer default, or press other keys to cancel.

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
i could not find how to soft reset my MDA PRO ?
i just heared that by pressing the LINE "___" button which is next to green button but do not know what is another buttons ? it must be 2 buttosn and then reset button but what is the next buttons should i press ???
Press the soft reset button to soft reset.
Use clearstorage to hard reset.
VJEschaton will also do both.
There is a button combination, but I never use it, thus purged from my volatile memory.

My right soft key is unresponsive. It works about 1 in 20 presses.
I need to hard reset!! But I cannot get a good key press on the right soft key.
Using the soft keys on the keyboard dosent work either.
Is there an app I can use to hard reset, or maybe a different key combo?
I don't know if I'm pointing out the obvious but try:
START/SETTINGS/SYSTEM (tab)/CLEAR STORAGE

That is what AT&T support would have you do.
Thanks for your replies, you are totally correct.
I suddenly remembered that option at work today and the Hard-Reset worked fine.

Some time back I started having trouble with my right soft key, now it doesn't work at all.
Glad 'Clear Storage' also works as a Hard Reset.
Thanks ach2

No, the right soft key still doesn't work.
I don't expect the right soft key to start working again, I only wanted another way, besides using the soft keys, to do a hard reset.
And 'Clear Storage' works.

Try dismantling the phone, clean the terminals behind the key and put it back together...maybe its just dirt!

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...

kevin
Did you tried bootloader mode and then flash again the rom ?
how do i do that. i took the memory card out and it rebooted.

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. Turn Off phone. Press and hold the two left and right soft keys ( the ones above the home and back buttons) and press the power button for 2 seconds. Let go of the power button after two seconds, while still holding the two soft keys until the screen goes black, then press the send button or follow the instructions on the menu
