Hard reset>????? - 8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development

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!

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

Hard reset Samsung i900

HELP Please.
I just got Samsung i900 Omnia.
after using it for a week i pressed the soft rest button and when the phone boots up it got stuck on the Samsung logo at the beginning and never continue.
I tried to find how to hard rest the phone but no luck
dose anyone have a clue what can i do ??
hold send and end buttons then press soft reset with stylus.
Hard reset
Are you absolutely sure this is the right way to hard reset the Samsung i900 ?
I have tried to do so but no luck
hard-reset i900
The Samsung hard-reset of i900 is pain-on-the-a**....
Hold the End and Send button lightly at the same time press Soft-Reset button with slylus.
Just hold the two buttons light, do not press hard, but to my experience, how light... I really don't know... just try many... many time... and suddently, it come up the hard reset menu.
Sometime it took me about an hour... bloody...
Good luck,
KC
sure, already did it a couple of times. its gonna show you to press send to format the device or something like that.
Thanks,
I have tried it for more then an hour, but i will keep on trying
dude, just lay the omnia on a flat surface, use left pointer and middle fingers to press (and hold) the send and end buttons. with right hand, use the stylus to soft reset the phone. i know i did have to try maybe 2-3 times before i got it right. but after that initial uncomfortableness, the next ones were easier.
tricky part is keeping it still while trying to do it.
i success on my first try thanks for explanation guys
Thanks
Worked like charm !!
The trick is not to let go of the End & Send buttons until the reset screen appear ...
i tried till my fingers are numb.
finally worked. thank you man.
press & hold. really does work. and hold for like..6-10secs.

Actually, what I did was press the reset button, while booting up, once the Samsung screen appears, immediately press the call and end key together. It'll ask if you want to reformat, then press the call to accept or end to reject.

What rom are you using..? Does it happen on other roms? have you soft/hard reset?
PDACornerPro.V21.Non-RBSN.FINAL.20273
Only tried a soft reset so far, don't want to do a hard reset yet as I'm planning on reflashing in the next week, just wondered if there was a quick fix for it.
quick fix would be soft reset or hard reset unfortunalty... Also try powering off and removing battery also.
Thanks for the replies, I'll probably just live with it for now remap one of the other buttons to phone and see if it starts working again after I've reflashed it.

Can't Hard Reset via hardware keys

Hey guys, anyone else ever had this problem? All of the sudden my phone stopped responding to holding the Power button + End + Send keys. It worked just fine in the past, but all of the sudden stopped for no apparent reason. Both of the keys work just fine when the phone is turned on, so I don't think its a hardware problem. Any ideas? Thanks.

What are the symptoms? You mean nothing happens, that it just stays off when you press that trio of keys...or does something else happen?
(I assume you know that you can also hard reset by the "Clear Storage" function under Settings>System..)
Hard Reset
The phone must be off before you do a hard reset. You are probably doing this but others may be stuck.
Turn phone off
push send and end and power all at once and hold
push volume up to accept the hard reset when it asks you
Follow instructions on the screen.

The phone turns on and boots just like normal. I just don't get the tri-color screen.
It's not a big deal for now since I can just use "Clear Storage" as you mentioned, but I am worried that if I ever get to the point where it doesn't boot up then I won't be able to hard reset without flashing.
It just seems weird to me that its not working. I know I am doing it right because I have done it numerous times in the past. Just wondering if anyone ever had a similar issue.
P.S If it means anything I am using a cooked ROM and an updated radio, but I have hard reset a few times after these were installed. The only thing I can think of that I did prior to this is hard reset and did a full restore using Sprite Backup...
Can this be an SPL issue?
same problem...
I had to do a hard reset because i was suck in a endless reboot loop...i did it this way...
send key + end key + power key + reset button all at sametime and do let go until you see the comfirmation..

Most key input wacky after soft reset!?

My phone backs up and resets overnight, and I woke up this morning to check email etc and noticed that the 4 hard keys on the front of the phone were all acting funny.. End key doesn't beep, send key didn't open the dialer, Okay button didn't close the current window.. then I found the PTT key didn't do anything either.. However, the Windows key DOES!
Hosed around for a while, launched AEButtonPlus to check it out, reset a few times, yanked the battery, etc.... Nothing. So I went back into AEButtonPlus to see what happens if I add a button and hit the Phone button and it pops up 00ED. Weird.. So I went looking into the HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Shell\Keys entries, looks fine as far as I can tell... Got curious and launched the Buttons preference, looks okay in there, except strangely the last screen for holding the End button has *no* selection, normally it has the two radio options, with more radio options below the second one, none selected..
So then I exit back out of the Buttons apps and are hosing around and find the buttons are magically working again. Soft reset, etc, all is fine!?
AEButtonsPlus got confused?? Nope, at some point I removed it from Startup and soft reset, was the same. And now that it's working again, all my settings in it are fine.
I am using QuickMenu attached to the Win key, so perhaps why that kept working?
Very strange.. At least it's back now, and I (think?) I know a workaround if it happens again, launch the Buttons preference.
This ever happened to anyone else?
same problemo

Yours fixed by launching the buttons setting? I don't know if that's what fixed it, but it seems like it went away after that, perhaps a few more soft resets.
