Guest jmoney37 Posted August 14, 2004 Report Share Posted August 14, 2004 Well my phone was working fine until i decided that i wanted to check my inbox for a text message. It said unable to find shortcut or something like that. I thought it was just being weird so i took out the battery and waited 15 seconds and put it back in. BIG MISTAKE I GUESS. Ever since then every time my phone is loading it freezes on the MIO screen for like 5 minutes and then it makes a beeping noise and goes to the screen that says loading. It stays on that screen for another 5 minutes and now my phone rarely gets passed that and if it does everything is in chinese. I tried to go to settings to change the language to english so i can tell whats going on but it wont' even let me go into settings. Everything has been deleted because when i go into the phoneviewer all my pictures are gone and have been replaced with pictures of animals (i'm guessing the factory pictures). I don't know what i did or whats going on but please help!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest pwest13 Posted August 14, 2004 Report Share Posted August 14, 2004 sounds like you need 2 hard reset Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest squall Posted August 14, 2004 Report Share Posted August 14, 2004 click on the words > hard reset < for instructions. I belive the procedure is the same for your phone Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest jmoney37 Posted August 14, 2004 Report Share Posted August 14, 2004 Well i performed the hard reset. It loads to the home screen now but everything is in chinese. I went into the settings and went to the 9th option and then the 4th option and changed the first box to US English then i pressed done and an alert came on with a exclamation point in the back but it was in chinese so i dont know what it said but the phone is still in chinese for some reason. I did it a couple of times and its still in chinese. Now what do i do? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest ferret Posted August 14, 2004 Report Share Posted August 14, 2004 I think when you change languages the phone needs to be restarted, change the language back to English, click ok to the warning and then restart. It should be ok then. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest jmoney37 Posted August 14, 2004 Report Share Posted August 14, 2004 Thanx. It worked my phone is back to factory.
