Side buttons alternative - G Pad 8.3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi guys. My tablet's side buttons are almost dead. I have to press too hard on them to do vol-up/vol-down/power. Since I forgot my tab's passcode I can't now hard reset without the buttons functioning properly. Please suggest me an alternative way to reset the gpad.

Hard reset>?????

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!

I tried to find how to hard rest the phone but no luck
dose anyone have a clue what can i do ??

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.

Help with TP2 hard reset - when touch-flo not working

Hi - Can someone please help me! I have tried to do the hard reset using the three buttons and its not working. Does anyone have any suggestions?
The Touch Flo 3-D is stuffed and because touching the screen wont work I cant disable it grrrrr. You can't press any buttons on the screen.
There is a limited amount that you can do with the physical keyboard (up down keys etc) but not enough to enable hard reset.
Have managed to get to the Clear Storage page - but as the Touch Flo isn't working - we cant get the Yes to work to finalise the hard reset
We can't get to Today screen to turn Touch Flo 3-D off either.
I can copy files across using ActiveSync to the phone - but am unable to execute anything as no ability to touch the screen (and the TP2 is missing the two physical buttons that the Tytn II had - god I am missing them sorely now).
Does anyone have any suggestions please - I am desperate for help. I Can't do much at all..
Thanks Kelly
Thanks
if you have a Verizon TP2 its a different set of buttons. Search for hard reset Verizon & it should help you (if that's the phone you have)
Also, make sure that the phone is completely off when you try to press all of the buttons.
Thanksssssssssssssss
XNIFEX - you a complete genius.. that was the missing link.. In the end I had to take battery out whilst turned on to turn it off.. then pressed all three buttons and hard reset is in progress.
On the down side I have lost everything on the phone due to TOuchFLo failure.. I think I might disable it upfront from now on.
Thanks again!!
Oops spoke too soon
Hi, I spoke too soon.. The hard reset worked.. but alas the screen is still not recognising touch. So I am back to square 1. Time for a warranty claim I guess.
Also I have a Telstra TP2 as I am in Australia. Thanks again.
If you have warranty use it!

Hard reset Samsung Galaxy W I8150

Hi guys,
I was wondering if someone would be able to help me out here.
I'm looking to hard reset my l8150 because I have a fault with my screen and I want to make sure it's a hardware fault before I send it back (a large proportion of my screen doesn't respond to me touching it). The only problem is that my home button doesn't work any more, so I can't hard reset it through the usual fashion (holding the buttons on startup). I can't get into my phone because the screen isn't working where I need to draw my password, so I can't reset it through the settings menu either
Is there any way I can get around this and do a hard reset?
Thanks in advance for any help!
Tom
