Fixing glitches in your smartphone
The Tilt is a modern smartphone with a moveable LCD screen that comes equipped with various features such as e-mail, texting and MP3 player. One feature you can add via your service provider is Push-to-talk (PTT). In essence, this feature allows you to use your Tilt as a walkie-talkie simply by activating a transmit button on the body of the device. This is a convenient feature, but there have been reports of glitches in the system from Tilt users about the PTT icon remaining on the LCD screen even after they've disabled the service. If you are having this problem with your Tilt, the only way to fix this glitch is by performing a hard reset on your Tilt to restore it to factory settings.
Instructions
1. Insert a microSD card in the small slot on the bottom of your phone and backup any files you would like to save to the card. A hard reset of the Tilt will wipe any personal data and settings from the phone so you'll want to back up this information before you proceed.
2. Place your Tilt face up on a table then press and hold both soft keys on either side of the Tilt simultaneously. Keep holding these buttons and pick up your Tilt Stylus (small plastic pen-like pointer that came with the device).
3. Use your stylus to press the reset button located directly at the bottom of the Tilt. Make sure you continue holding the soft keys as you perform this step.
4. Release the stylus but continue holding the soft keys until a prompt appears on screen informing you that you are about to reset the phone to the manufacturer default settings.
5. Release the soft keys and then immediately press the green "phone" button. The device will be reset and the Push-to-talk icon will be removed from the screen. You can also reset the phone in the menu system, without having to use the stylus. Simply tap the "Start" tab from the main menu, then "Settings," then the "System" tab, then select "Clear Storage" from the list of options. Tap "1234" in the text box that appears and tap "Yes" to confirm. Your Tilt is now reset.
