I've seen a few similar issues on the web with various devices... I believe mine to be a bit different though.
Before today my Blackjack 2 (Windows Mobile 6.1) worked perfectly fine, it fell today and the battery went flying out of the phone. I put it back together and it was working fine. a few hours later i realized the phone shut off on its own. Well, it does that sometimes for me since it is over 2 years old and is quite beat up, so I took it as normal behavior, i started it up, and…. it hangs on the windows mobile green splash screen.
Whenever I shut it down, the loading circle that normally pops up, shows on the screen as its shutting down. I've actually gotten it to show the status bar (signal strength, battery, etcetera, however the rest of the screen remained at the splash screen.
Bootup process: it shows the Samsung splash screen, then the AT&T animation, and then the windows mobile splash screen where it finally hangs. When I plug it into my computer using the data cable, it dings on connection, and my computer starts to connect, but then errors out.
I'd like to try to avoid a hard reset or re installation if possible… just added a bunch of contacts that I haven't backed up, and I don't know their numbers off hand, so I'd have to wait for them to call/text me or until i see them again.
Also, if I have to perform a hard reset, I'm unsure if the phone will actually work after-wards since this did appear to begin after it hit the ground.
Since installing WM 6.1 I have not installed any software/programs/apps on the device, just some new contacts. It's not the sim card, my friend has the same phone so I tried it out on his and it worked fine.
Anyone able to advise on this?
