Will a soft reset / hard reset erase my photos?

Hi,
I have just reistalled Mountain Lion on my Mac-Air and Windows 7 on my PC. The only copy of a large % of my photo album is on my Phone only which is acting buggy.
I want to do a soft rest or hard rest to see if it fixes it but need to knwo if either will erase my photo album collection.
can you tell me:
-soft reset?
-hard reset?
Cheer.

Resetting your phone by holding your home and power buttons until you see the Apple logo, then releasing won't delete anything. Restoring your phone it iTunes will erase the phone, but give you the option to restore to your backup at the end, which will include camera roll photos. Be sure to back up first.

Z1s needs a FACTORY(not hard) reset without screen use.

The screen is not working. I cannot enter code to enter screen.
I need to reset the phone to Factory so there is no locked screen. I purchased the phone new.

Need a little more info
Does the screen work but not touch or is both the touch and LCD broken and you have no image

HELP! E6-00 hard reset

Hey!
I have difficulties with my new E6-00. It doesnt allow me anything to install, always says "corrupted file". So I checked many forums and i read i have to do a factory/soft/hard reset to solve the problem.
Factory and soft reset was not successful ( *#7780# and *#7370#), i still have this problem.
As for the hard reset... i am not able to find out how to do it. Google is full with spam and false advices like "hold the call buttons and the camera key" - this mobile doesnt even have a camera key...
So please help me. How to perform a hard reset on E6-00?

@ aspergerguy - it is not this procedure, because Nokia E6 does not have camera button, as is the N8, C7, etc..
WIN !!! After seven days, and more than a hundred different manipulations ran my ailing Nokia E6. I will explain this my case, because the forums have not read, of course, if Admin allows. As I wrote earlier, it was not possible to use the procedures reset * # 7780 # , * # 7370 # or * # 7070 # and ineffective procedures have also been key "Shift + Space + Back Space and Power ON" and " * + 3 + green phone + Power ON ".
I wrote earlier that the phone was active for only a few minutes, the measurement of 2min 21sek to 3min 57sek , and ended its activities or the F-Secure or on the first screen. Probably none of these procedures were not effective due to the short time since the system will first make a copy and then Delete. I must also say that Service Nokia Care (Regenersis Warsaw) refused to help me saying: "I'm sorry, but virtually we can not help you ..."
I decided to go back to the standard procedure in the phone, the "Menu> Settings> Phone> Phone management> Factory settings> Delete data and restore." The problem to fit in the available time was my personal long security code.
Against all actions, for the safety of the phone took out the memory card, which I had stored backups performed every week and performed every 2 months full backup and the phone via a PC running Nokia Suite 3.6.36, was connected to the Internet. As a result, after a short while to reset the phone and started the installation procedure (probably from disk "Z") software system Anna v. 025.007 (previously I had v.021.014).
To my surprise the phone asked for access to another phone via Bluetooth (in this case had on hand Nokia C7-00 sys. Belle) which took contacts, email account settings and e-mail, news, and more. When you insert a memory card into the phone returned dozens of applications, but around 100 applications and I have to get through some back pay. Finally, the Nokia Suite installation proposed Belle for E6-00, but I decided not to because the system Belle for Nokia E6 has a very bad reviews on the internet and also a lot of applications that I bought the Nokia Store is not available for the system Belle.
Sorry for quite a long description.

Hard reset & tapping the center of the target

My first problem is I can't find my instructions for my Tungsten E2, so please excuse my inability to use the appropriate words to describe functions, etc.
My current problem is that the screen isn't reading my taps from my stylus. I have tried to resynch that but the palm gets stuck in the "tap in the center of the target" mode. After dozens of target taps, I have soft reset, hard reset and it immediately goes to the tapping bit and never leaves. Please advise.
An old problem, (which possibly could be related) is that I downloaded a book 2 years ago (which I had successfully used on my previous TREO), but I have never been able to open the "reader" for that. When ever I try, it immediately blacks out.... can't even turn it off. It has to be reset. I never removed that, I just never open reader... is there anyway that could be messing up other functions? Since I have lost my instructions, can you also advise me on that?
Post relates to: Tungsten E2

Sorry for the delay.
You could try setting the notepad conduit to do nothing. Notepad can't be removed from the ROM. Removing programs is done through going to the home screen and clicking the top left hand corner, then delete. Again Notepad isn't one that can be removed.
Normally I would suggest hard reseting the unit. but....

N8 Cant remove Topapps even after hard reset

Hi,
Few hours ago I just bought a new N8. It has in it TopApps and Ovi store, I wanted to remove Topapps but it continue to deny the operation. I tried soft reset, hard reset and in the ned 4 buttons reset. I tried also few solutions offered here in nokia forum but still without any sucess. I cant remove TopApps or Ovi Store even after hard reset, the maps are also here - I thought that these apps will disappear after hard reset.
In applications I got 3 ovi store related apps installed - ovi, Ovi notifications support package and Ovi Store. Social network app is not working too, its showing me service unavailable. Any ideas ?
Thank you for attention
Solved!

Hi rslid,
Nokia Store or rather Ovi Store is not deletable or uninstalabe as this is one of the applications that is necessary to enable you to download and update downloaded applications to your Nokia N8-00 Belle. If you try to delete or unistall you get the message operation denied so its better if you leave it.
Concerning hard resetting, any time you feel like hard resetting your device use *#7370# followed by 12345 as the default security code unless you have manually changed it but always remember that it will delete all user data from both drive C and E hence a backup of your data with the phone settings unticked or not selected is strongly recomended before hard resetting and also note and remember that after hard resetting always reinstall your firmware to avoid having an unstable device.

Screen zoomed can't undo with hard reset or full restore!

I was playing with a particle App and the screen zoomed. It zoomed back but then zoomed again and froze - I tried resets, hard resets, and finally full restore (iOS 4.1) and it still starts up looking normal then suddenly without touching the phone, the screen zooms and you cannot pan.
Is this a hardware failure of some kind? Has anyone experienced this before?

TAP 2 times with 3 fingers !!!
Hope it helps
These useless 'quick buttons' are VERY annoying (2 unitended taps with 3 fingers or 3 unintended clicks with the home button etc.)
Maybe we have people around us that know these tricks, and play games with us, but ....I already restored my phone twice for a perceived VIRUS.
1st time all remained in photo negative (press home button 3 x which I did not know). Lost all my data and the iPhone remaind in negative until someone gave me the 'code' to resolve this. (Really looks like something is wroing: who would want 'negative' as a homebutton feature...?
Then this 'unresolvable' zoom occured today which made me sick and restore. Until I read this forum.
Apple used to be the ultimate 'user friendly' 'foolproof' company, and we all might be fools, but who the **** would want to have a MEGA zoom feature that disallows any operation of your phone and remains even after a restart?!
APPLE:
PLEASE TAKE THESE 'SHORTCUT ACTIVATION' FEATURES OUT of the primary interface
and make many unintended users happy!!
And if they need to be there, put them in the 'settings' menu, because just look at the Forums and draw your own conclusions !!

Palm TX replacement unit has white screen issues even after hard reset

I hope somebody can help me find a solution.
   I was a happy Palm OS user since the early days of Palm III. After a Palm III and a V, had a Sony Clie that lasted a long time, but finally pooped out, went to a Z22 and broke the screen, then almost but not quite a year ago (in warranty, supposedly), purchased a Palm TX. Worked great for a while but ended up with a unit I couldn't turn on or off because the power switch had died. Worked around that by keeping the sync cord in and powering on by pushing the button and then canceling. Finally sent it in for in-warranty repair. Got back a new-to-me unit.
   This worked fine for almost a month, then it started (with no new software or usage patterns) to have blank screen issues. To solve this I have tried many things. Soft resets, hard resets, leaving it to fully run out its battery for weeks at a time. Nothing works; it continues to go blank on me. In addition, the sound is strange and screechy when it beeps (e.g. accepting time zone after reset). I bought the TX in the US when I was home for a visit last July, but am living in the Netherlands currently.
   I contacted the Palm repair center in the UK that replaced my original unit; they said would pass on word of my troubles to Palm and Palm should contact me, otherwise to e-mail them.  They haven't. I can't find an e-mail address for to explain all of this to anyone with any power to help me. I have tried to use the Palm support website to solve this problem, but neither the original serial number or the serial number of the replacement unit I have now is showing up as eligible for warranty repair.  I have tried to call the US Palm support number (http://kb.palm.com/wps/portal/kb/common/article/47005_en.html#howservice), but I get "calling is temporarily unavailable." When I click "here" when asked "If you wish to query the warranty status of your handheld, or would prefer to arrange a repair through our Technical Support service, click here" (https://www.euroservice.palm.com/repair_entry/NLD/EE) I end up on a page that says simply "Please Enter the Source Url." I am hesitant to supply credit card information for an issue that, if it can't be covered under warranty (which I think it should be, since I'm still within the original 12 month warranty period), I may well abandon.
    I am very frustrated in trying to get this fixed. I am disappointed in the dwindling support for a PDA (that is not a phone) with Palm OS. Since I am living (though not comfortably or well) without my calendar, address book, alarm, reader, dbs, cookbook, checklist, etc., I am seriously considering leaving the Palm OS. My preference is to get this fixed, and my idea nearly a year ago was to ride the Palm OS until it disappeared completely (subsumed into phones anyway), but my problems have discouraged me to the point that I am wondering if this is my end.
   Does anyone have a suggestion?

Thanks for your help!
I don't know how to tell for certain if this is a US or a UK device, but it looks identical to the one I bought in a store in Seattle, and the first five and the last two num/letters of the serial number are identical.  I do know that when I sent it in originally for the power button failure, that the Palm repair center understood that it was a Palm purchased in the States.  Their description of the goods received is "Palm TX , US and ML" so it seems apparent that they knew it was a US device and rather than refusing to repair it, they had me send it to them. And when my repair was returned, the repair details list "unit exchange" and type of unit is again listed as Palm TX US & ML.
Well, regardless, I appreciate your pointing me in the right directions to someone who can help me.
Ironically, I am no longer having the same issues with the Palm.  The latest round of letting the power run out after a hard reset and sit for a few weeks seems to have "fixed" it.  At least, I have been trying to break it (by using it) without success.  Recharged it, synced it, checked and sent mail with it, used all the programs I used to, and I haven't had a white screen in the past few days. Hope my luck continues, but I don't trust it.  All hail frequent syncing.
Thanks again.

Screen Keeps Dying - Tried Hard Reset and Factory Reset

I have a playbook which I recieved last spring and lately it has been giving me a lot of problems with the screen.
Starting around early December, the screen would not turn on after it had gone to sleep unless I pressed the power button on and off a couple times. Then, a few weeks later, that trick stopped working. I tried doing a hard reset where you hold down the power button and volume keys until it forces a hard reset. That worked a couple times also, then stopped working around the end of December.
Two days ago I did a factory reset by reinstalling the firmware. The device worked for a while, but today it is back to its same old problems.
I should note that when I say "the screen didn't turn on" in almost every circumstance, the backlight would turn on and a few pale lines would be displayed on the screen.
Is my playbook completely dead? Does anyone have any ideas what else I could do?

Try doing a search on this forum or on Crackberry.com. There was a procedure written on downgrading the OS.
Yes I know, I wanted Johnpiz to explain the suggestion. You have to root the Playbook and render the warranty void, break the agreement you made, and risk bricking the Playbook. Not advised in this forum any more than recommending jailbreaking on the Apple support forum.
And it will not fix the problem either.

Hi Philjp,
If you are having issues connecting to your Airport Time Capsule, even after a factory reset, you may find the following article helpful:

Kestrel password not working, how do I do a factory / hard reset

I have forgotten the password to get into my EE Kestrel, and I've tried a hard reset following the instructions elsewhere in this community (pressing on/off & volume buttons simultaneously). Every time the following happens - I get an Android robot image, followed by the message 'check sd update pkg is exist......make sure usb cable has been inserted! usb update starting.....' Then it just hangs. I switch it off and try again with power/volume buttons as before, and the same thing happens every time. I called the EE helpsesk, but they can't resolve so they gave me the Huwawei phone technical helpdesk. They told me that EE should not have given me their number, as EE put their own software on the Kestrel, and Huwawei can't support it Any suggestions please?

Hi ,
Thanks for joining the Community.
Once you reach the recovery screen you should be able to use the volume buttons to scroll through the menu. You need to select 'Factory Reset'.
Please be aware that this will wipe all saved data and media from your phone.
Thanks

Ipad keeps freezing .... Even after hard reset . . . Reset back to factory . . Etc. is it dead?

Ipad keep freezing up ?? Even after all the resets . . Etc. am I toast ?

"so I did a hard reset, tried to restore it. But not I cannot not even open my iPad"
Just to reiterate what Tedfixit said - I would book an appointment at the Genius Bar as well. If you restored it and it is still acting up, the device should be evaluated.

How to change the batteries on a palm m125 without having to do a hard reset

Some palm m125's are defective meaning that when one changes the AAA batteries one is presented with a no way out question on whether yes to hard reset or no to not hard reset, yes it's true that what i mean by no way means that even a soft reset will NOT make it work again, hope you just did a backup right.. oh! and this will prob. only work if you have enough battery power to keep the unit on: ie: around 5% battery...
Anywhoo I have found a workaround for this bug or so that may help you, please read below on how to hopefully preserve the data on your handheld's m125 hardware without this hard reset lockup...
Note: Testing with rechargeables in (Maxxus 1100 mah) and then put in alkalines = mixed results :/, but alkalines out then new ones in should work fine..
Okay - fairly simple - Let's start:
A: Turn on the unit - yes u heard me turn the unit ON
B: Flip the unit over
C: While the unit is ON take out the top battery first and replace it as fast as you can with the newer one and make sure it is in before doing the next step...
D: now do the bottom battery...
E: turn the unit on by pressing the power button
Result: If all goes well, u'll see the palm logo and then it should show the prefs screen of which you've successfully saved all ur user data. - What it did was a soft reset.
So far with alkalines i've had nothing but success - if anyone out there owns a m125 as well and can confirm that this tip works, please post to let others know ur success or unsuccess of trying out my tip..
My Test Results Tested on Factory State unit (Hard Reset Unit ):
Alkalines -> Alkalines = 99% (if done correctly) = Pretty Safe*
Alkalines -> Rechargeables = 50% (if done correctly) = Warning/Caution
Rechargeables -> Alkalines = Not Consistant enough to measure (if done correctly) = Very Risky
*If ur unit stills asks on Alka to Alka then Just maybe a software program is now causing it to ask for a hard reset as I'm still testing this.
If method One does not work out, I've also tried the following with success esp. on Rechargeables -> Alkalines, but this will requre more work and a more steady hand...
A: Turn the unit ON
B: Press and hold DOWN button
C: While holding the Down button, take out the TOP battery first and replace it, DO NOT let go of the down button on the handheld
D: Now replace the BOTTOM battery
E: Let go of the Down Button
F: Press the on button
If all goes well you will see the palm logo meaning that it just did a soft reset, but ur data should still be intact, With method 2 I was able to get a more success rate. , But I am still testing on when the unit is fully loaded, etc.. as these tests were done on a hard reset unit. You can also try holding the up button instead of the bottom one for a method 3. Again anyone out there with success or unsuccess stories - please tell as i'd like to hear your expierence with my findings here.

Hi
Im using fireworks to put it all together visually and mechanically
and then I'd like to export it to dreamweaver
This is a bad idea, and will only create problems further down the line. For the correct way to do this see -
http://www.adobe.com/devnet/dreamweaver/articles/dw_fw_css_pt1.html there are 3 parts to this tutorial series.
As for the effect you wish, (no full page load) this is known as ajax and if you are new and using dreamweaver then the spry framework is probably the easiest to learn, see http://www.webmonkey.com/2010/02/build_ajax_components_with_spry/, your dreamweaver documentation also contains a description of how to use Spry, the full Spry documentation and examples are available at - http://labs.adobe.com/technologies/spry/home.html.
