Hard Reset with no screen

Is there a key combo that will hard reset the DASH.. My screen is blank, so I can't access the clear storage utility. TIA.

turn it off, hold the two softkeys and then hold the power button for 1-2s and then release the softkeys and it should prompt you

WHAT IS SOFT KEY?

This can be tricky, So I know from trial and error, Since there are not many guides out there that explain in detail on how to do this, with this particular device, I have decided to go ahead and make one up for you guys.
Here are the steps:
Step One:
Preform power down *Hold the power button* Till the phone is 100% powered down and all you see is a black screen
*keep in mind if your device is plugged into a power source or computer link this will not work!*
Step Two:
(Use both hands while doing this it will be much easier!)
Place 1 finger on each of the Soft keys.

Step Three:
Press the power Button and hold for no more than 2 sec well holding the two soft keys (do not hold the power button till the phone turns on) ONLY PRESS THE POWER BUTTON DO NOT TURN THE PHONE ON. After pressing the power key keep your fingers on the Two Soft keys until you see a the phone turn on and a black screen come up with white writing. Once you see this screen Press the Green Send key and there you go you have just performed a hard reset on the T-Mobile dash without using the settings screen on the phone. 8)

this is solution can reset user code t-mobile dash ???

[Q] Bug? HTC Sense Input Keyboard arrow button gone!

Found this issue on my one X. The arrow/direction key seem to be gone from keyboard when using 3rd parties apps. (Whatsapp / Line / Facebook / Path / etc)
But it seem to be working fine on web browser, text message, google search widget and some other apps that came along with the phone.

It's apps which aren't ICS-optimised yet. The on-screen menu button covers the arrow keys on the keyboard.

Be interesting to see what they say; whether it's intentional to not reduce screen area any further when both keyboard and menu button are displayed, or whether it's just badly designed.
Other keyboards with arrows (like SwiftKey) still display them along with the menu button (everything's just shifted a row up), so it's specific to HTC's keyboard design.

[APP] ImmersiveTaille for Windows 8

I created this software that can merge the traditional desktop and new home screen of Windows 8

}
The application is responsible for making up the new home screen of Windows 8 (with dynamic thumbnails) and the traditional Windows desktop in the same window. This fusion avoids having to switch from one to the other at all times.
Using the options you can choose to set automatic shutdown while restoring the original appearance of the home screen. Useful if you enable the option to see the home screen when the program starts (combined with oblytile) you can have your personal space as an example for your games, software ...
Advanced mode allows you to set the home screen where you want on your desktop and the size you want.
Latest Version::
2.0
Changelog:
2.0 :
-Graphic change
-Advanced mode recording with a preference
-And new tab with options for various settings to make combination
For example:
click software -> displays StartScreen -> start a game -> software that closes itself and you can restore the size if you want StartScreen
Old :
-First apps with basic graphic and advanced setting. No more options.
Download:
here
This software is in english. Windows 8 32/64 RTM (i not tested in other windows 8 ...)

Is it also working on Windows RT?

I do not have windows RT to test above. You can always try, if it works I put it is compatible

I just tried it on my rt and do nothing. it stay in the task manager for 1 sec and then vanish.

I was looking for something that would let me keep my taskbar in the start screen. Thank you very much for this!

Your Sourceforge page says it's GPL'd, know where I can get at the source at?

Awesome work! Loving it!

Fantastic app, I appreciate the work. Got any new features you going to bake into this soon?
Personally, I'd love it if we can make the Modern screen stick to the desktop and not disappear when I click out of it. Is this possible?
Thanks,

This is a rather nice idea.
Is possible.
I'm not saying I'll do it.
But if I do it it will be in one week, or more.

I keep having a problem using it, When I press start it does this (look to the right)
Location of start screen: Fullscreen + Taskbar

I is not implemented when the taskbar is on the left, right and top (for the next update probably).
Otherwise to settle your problem, you go to the advanced menu and you do the adjustment manually.
You can save the adjustment.
That way you can return to the basic menu selection and you lose another location you your adjustment.
Like that you can switch from one to another for further facilitates and load your adjustment.

[Q] Power off button doesn't work

Try holding power and volume up button together until you feel 3 vibrations. Failing that, hard reset by pushing the little red button by the side of the SIM card slot under the flap.

Z1 compact refuses software shut down
I never ever managed to turn my Z1 Compact off the by using the default method (hold power button until shutdown menu appears) However I do get a visual on this operation but after poking turn off nothing happens. I also upgraded to official Kitbag but that did not resolve this issue. The only (known) method to shut down is powerbutton on the side combined with volume up/down. I feel that this isn't a clean modus operandi and call for assistance here among others.

Just to let you all know in case of nothing works, there is a physical Hard Reset button to use.

This was a bug that mine suffered from after upgrading to kitkat despite a full wipe. The thing that fixed it for me was to do a Repair using the Sony PC Companion. I wrote about my experience here.
Of course, the long press power button menu is SUPPOSED to work. Any of the above workarounds are just that, I wasn't happy until I fixed it (as well as all the other problems I was having).

Android Auto built into Lollipop?

I use my Nexus 7 for my main head unit in my vehicle. I use lama to trigger certain settings when it connect to the vehicles sound system via Bluetooth. One is to enable car mode. Since updating to Lollipop whenever I am in an app while car mode is enabled if I hit the home button the "Android Auto" splash screen launches (see image). Then crashes back to the app. Getting back to the google now launcher requires opening the the recent apps then pushing the home button.
So is android auto just car mode that will trigger auto apps? If so can we enable android auto on our devices somehow? Or is auto a different os? This would be a nice feature to have on our n7's

I'm seeing this with my Nexus6 setting Trigger App to start car mode. The same splash screen comes up and goes away. After triggering, the notification tray has a "Touch to exit car more" option.
I'm not rooted, but maybe rooting might get it to work?

Ive replicated your scenariio. Same results.

I could be wrong, but I believe all you are seeing here is the Splash Screen that will display on your phone when you have Android Auto connected via USB to the car.
Im not sure that this splash screen is an indication that Android Auto as an interface is hiding on your device.

I've seen the same with Nexus 5 as well.
I keep hitting the back button till I get to the home screen, but that means I spend more time looking at the phone (off the road) than I should.
Has anyone been able to figure out how to disable this, or atleast go to the home screen instead of going back to the current app?
Additional thought: I just checked and realized I use tasker to enable car mode. I guess I can just not enable car mode, but then the question would be.. what is car mode, how is it supposed to work, it doesnt seem to be doing anything on my phone other than disabling the home button
PS: I'm not rooted. Stock Google Play Nexus 5 used on t-mobile.

Android Auto is similar to Apple CarPlay and is a feature to use certain apps via the vehicle screen / buttons. But it requires the vehicle to support this feature.

I see the same behavior on HTC One (m7) GPE, Android 5.01, when I plug it in the HTC Car Kit dock.
