Really need Help please <-------

This problem started yesterday.

All of a sudden i cannot access my settings at all.

I need to to a hard reset but when i go to the start menu and click settings, nothing.

i've tried leaving the battery out but i don't know how long the back up battery lasts.

Is there any other way to do a hard reset?

first what kind of phone do you have? second...if you know the type do a search on google on that type include hard reset in the search text...there will be probably more than enough hits...

i'll let him off then,
Its sorted now anyway, i have the omnia

and if anyone wants to know how to hard reset then here ya go:

1. turn the phone off.
2. hold the power/call/end buttons for about 5 secs.
3. you will be asked if you want to format, this will only format the phone memory not 'my storage' or 'storage card'.
4. press the call button to format and hey presto working omnia again.

Why didn't you just soft reset............

[nothin]

is is so easy to say: "make hard reset"....
----
control panel registry branch may be deleted(then i cannot help you), or you just missing empty directory in /windows/start menu/ - look there, if it is missing, make it(just empty dir named "settings") there and make softreset....
if still problem persists, try to copy any shortcut(lnk) to that /windows/start menu/settings dir, make softreset and look, if that icon in menu start is there..
there may be other possibilities, but...it is late and i need to get some sleep now..

in future, try use ppcpimbackup to make..... whole PIM backup(sms, mms, mail, calls, etc), just in case you need hard reset(you cannot make full backup with i.e. spb backup, if system is damaged, it may be nonsense - ppcpimbackup will just make databases backup, so in case of reset it won't be such pain as loss of everything..)

btw, it is wrong forum section, imho...
