C'mon, kcaegis45, we were all once noobs. :-D

No, a soft reset will not erase any contacts or settings.

It wasn't meant to offend ...said it jest
It's late in the eastcoast

honestly I did get the manual and its bigger then a bible......whats a hard reset?

A hard reset erases all the data on the phone and sets it back to the way it was when you first got it.

Sorry, I was also just chiding, not repremanding. Next time I'll put one of these next to it :-D so you'll know I'm not coming down on you. Sorry, again for the confusion, on both our parts! :-D

No problem. We're here to help all even the ......](*,):headbang:

I posted in another thread by this guy, and while I was being a huge ass (sorry about that I was drunk), really, read the manual. It is rude to come on here and keep asking questions this trivial. I am all for getting your issues resolved, but a quick skim through that book would answer things like "soft reset", "hard reset", what a .cab is, how to sync and other things of this nature. Then you wouldn't have people spamming your thread with banter about how you need to do some research on your own. There were more post in this thread about that, than addressing your issues.

1. No, you need 3rd party software and an external GPS. EXTENSIVELY discussed in MANY MANY threads. This is a sore subject, had you read anything at all you would have seen this.
2. Yes. Tons of dialer skins. Same deal, it might even be in the FAQ.

Just in case you'd rather use the manual on your computer, you can see it here: http://www.america.htc.com/support/s...ser_Manual.pdf
