After having the UI crashes which resulted from the M6 upgrade I reinstalled to the previous nightly build which worked well on my device. Now I am having multiple problems with the status bar, notifications, home button and the power button menu.
1. Notifications do not show up in the notification bar. The notification sound plays, but the notifications do not show up in the pull down
2. The Quick Settings Panel no longer is accessible from the status bar
3. The additional Power Button menu settings for reboot options, profiles etc are lost and are not resettable via the settings. Only the default power button menu is available. I've seen a thread about another device that suggested taking a picture somehow restored the menu settings after an install which obviously isn't an option here.
4. The Home button is non-functional now. I tried a reset on the navigation buttons but that didn't restore them.
When I performed the reinstall, I did not do a full device wipe first, but I did do a cache wipe after the install. Can anyone provide any insight on how I can recover this functionality without having to perform a full device wipe and reinstall?
Never mind. Much more just was not functional at all so I ended up doing a full device wipe and reinstall and now I am reinstalling and reconfiguring everything. So far, all the issues I had before have been resolved after the device wipe.
I must say that the M6 update was a real disaster for me.
You are still on M6 or the older ROM ???
I flash this ROM M6 a week ago with full wipe..data,cache, dalvik, system .notice no problem on my part

I've been trying to find the right information but struggling. I am having my Desire exchanged for a new one as mine has a minor fault. T-mobile have been great in getting this exchanged.
My issue is that I want to be able to store all my information somewhere first and I think I know how to do that on to the SD card.
My more important issue is to be able to delete all the information from the phone after my backup so things like my facebook details, gmail and everything else is deleted. Will a HARD reset do this and how do I do that? Is there a different way to perform a full reset to ensure everything is gone?
|Thanks...
Factory restore/hard reset, and then you'll need to format the SD card (or remove everything on it)
Turning automatic backup on:
1. From the Home screen, press MENU, and then tap Settings.
2. Scroll down the screen, and then tap Privacy > Back up my data & settings.
3. Select or clear the Back up my data & settings check box to turn automatic backup on or off.
After you do a factory reset, your phone will restart and let you restore the saved data and settings in your storage card back to your phone.
Your phone backs up the following types of data and settings whenever there are new additions or changes:
* Text and multimedia messages
* Settings in the Messages application
* Web bookmarks
* Keyboard dictionary
* Settings in your phone that fall under these categories:
o Wireless & networks
o Sound & display
o Location
o Applications
o Date & time
o Language & keyboard - only the Locale setting
Performing a factory reset (hard reset):
This returns your phone to the state it was in before the first time you turned it on (factory settings).
Note: Factory reset will not remove the data and files that are in your phone’s microSD card.
This will permanently delete all your data and customized settings, and will also remove any applications you've downloaded and installed. Be sure to back up any data and files you want to keep before you do a factory reset.
Performing a factory reset via settings:
The most convenient way to do a factory reset is via the phone settings.
1. From the Home screen, press MENU and then tap Settings.
2. Scroll down the screen and then tap Privacy > Factory data reset.
3. On the Factory data reset screen, tap Reset phone, and then tap Erase everything.
Performing a factory reset using phone buttons:
If you cannot turn on your phone or access the phone settings, you can still perform a factory reset by using the buttons on the phone.
1. With the phone turned off, press and hold the VOLUME DOWN button, and then briefly press the POWER button.
2. Wait for the screen with the three Android images to appear, and then release the VOLUME DOWN button..
3. Press VOLUME DOWN to select CLEAR STORAGE, and then press POWER.
4. Press VOLUME UP to start the factory reset.

No problem at all
Out of interest and as there have been few negatives about this phone, what was the fault you are exchanging for?
Thanks

I rang them up to say the battery life was absolutely dreadful. They said give it a few days to see if building up the charge for a few days combined with the "new phone and let's play with all the new features" syndrome settled the battery life. It hasn't and they suggested either sending a second battery or exchanging the phone. I went for the exchange....
Apart from that, the phone has been absolutely brilliant. Really pleased with almost everything. My only two hmmm's have been that skype don't do their own app for Android and that the F1 app for the iphone isn't available on android (despite its $29 cost!!!)
Thanks. I'll be real interested to learn if the exchange phone improves your bettery life - be sure to let us know!
I bought a HTC desire from Virgin mobile uk which uses t-mobiles network. I had problems with the browser force closing where it started and then quit. I spoke to HTC and then was advised to perform a hard reset using recovery mode. I put the phone in recovery and then immediately got a phone picture with the exclamation mark... i had to remove the battery and tried it again. same problem.
I have found that the second phone i had did exactly the same when i tried to put it in recovery mode..ouch
I'm going to do the backup first so I hope I'll have the info saved..... that's a weird problem you have.
I will let you know how I get on with the replacement but it will have to be when I get back from OZ......
I was hoping to find a pay as you go sim card to put in but my phone is locked to tMobile and also it seems in Australia their data plans are just not there yet...
Hi,
I've got a strange problem: i've tried to install severla Sense ROMs (sensevolution, revolution 4.0, now RunnymedeMod007) and each time phone crashes. It's going perfectly fine until i type PIN code. Than in some cases ROM works, until i press off button. While i want to wake phone again, there's nothing on the screen, except wallpaper. No upper bar, no menu bar. And the fone freezes - every time i have to take the battery off. what might it be? I've changed the radio, but nothing changed.

Depending on what recovery you use, the options might change. But:
Mounts & Storage
> format boot
> format system
> format data
> format cache
Advanced
> Wipe dalvic cache
Flash ROM again.
Worked perfectly, thanks a lot!
Had perfectly running tablet until I installed the latest recommended update. Now none of the buttons function. I can't even power off device with power button it only restarts. Anyone else having this issue or have a fix other than factory reset?
What have you done?
Nothing so far, problems started occurring after applying latest update. Side power button does not show power options anymore, can only restart after holding button in. Bottom buttons don't work.
I have a kk note 8.0 that I have been messing with on KK issues. Use to backup and freeze the update or remove it. It really does not do any th8ng but disable tweaks and mods from rooting. Many have seen issues from it.
How do you remove update without doing factory reset or is that not possible?
If you have rooted, install ti backup if youhave not already, and search for security, and it should list one with more info in the name.. should have 1.1 or 2.2 near the end of the name.
the file name should be explanitory. depending on what you have installed, you may see more files with security shown in the list. you want to identify the file in red, as red is used fo r system files.
tap on the file and select remove in the upper right.
if ti backup is too complicated... you may find the app in app manager listed in all apps. you may be able to disable the app, as i recall that you are given adisclamer during the install, about how to disable its function.
Hey Everybody
I have troubles since i clicked a button in my status bar. I removed EVERYTHING from my home and lock screen (i cant even tell witch one i see). There are no Icons at all. only my desktop background is visible and working (animated bubbles). there is no button working except from power button (and its menu to restart). a friend of mine was able to get a screenshot with some button-combination (vol+ + home?)
first: i am not an expert with android, but have a lot of experience in working with Linux shells.
what i have done:
maybe it has something to do with it or not, i don’t know:
i enabled multi view / multi window or extended desktop (sorry i don’t know the name, and as there is nothing shown...)
i opened my status bar and there were some new icons (next to the small watch in the right corner), witch i haven’t seen so far and clicked it. than it opened a "new" screen with only my background.
as i thought it is maybe only a "dead" app i tried to restart my phone. but: there is only that screen working. no PIN question, or something.
i tried to reset dalvic and normal cache. -> no change.
i use RESURRECTION REMIX 5.7.3. on N7100
Recovery TWRP 3.0.2-0 is still working and
i hope somebody can help me to solve my problem without factory resetting. i wont reinstall everything.
thanks a lot
Are you able to restore a TWRP back up? You could try flashing the ROM again without wiping.
theoretically, yes, but i did not have on. so i cannot flash it.
i am searching for an commandline option to change the settings. but i have no clue where to search, and in what files the configuration lies...
Hello guys !
I have a Nexus 5X and i got quite a big issue since yesterday :
- My home and "multitask" buttons don't work anymore (but the back button is ok)
- I can't see anymore my notifications (none at all)
- I can't expand the notification bar twice (I'm stuck with the quick settings) and even clicking on the little arrow doesn't do anything
- I have no mobile data, even if they are activated in the settings..
All that came all of a sudden : I had no problem during the day and I was just using my phone when it started
I've tried :
Reboot, wipe cache in recovery mode, I even upgraded to Android O and it is still the same
If you have any idea before I factory reset it....
Thanks
Bourliam
@bourliam: restore any nougat-backup?
