Blackjack gone crazy
So a few days ago, I decided to install Agile Messenger on my Blackjack. I had used it on a couple of other phones without much issue. The install went fine, and I was able to connect to Yahoo! As soon as I attempted to connect to GTalk, all hell broke loose. My phone completely froze and clicking buttons, etc. did nothing. I could not turn it off, so I had to snatch the battery. I put it back and it came back up ok.
Of course I’m a tech at heart, so I wanted to figure out why that did not work. So I tried it again. The same result, except this time when I put the battery back, the phone did NOT come back ok. The start menu did not work (it was blank), the background was changed back to default, and worst of all, all the icons were changed to the Windows “missing shortcut” icon. I played with it for a bit and powering it off and on did no good. So, I had to hard reset it.
To hard reset your Blackjack, turn if off, then hold down the up arrow, while turning it back it. It will ask if you are sure that you want to format it, click up again to give it a go.
After my first reset, things seemed ok. I setup my mail again (Exchange via Activesync) and installed a couple of my other usual things. Suddenly, I was out of space! This was unreal since I had not done that much. I then removed all non-essential things, and it was not helping. I checked the storage usage and there was 0mb available. To check your space, go to Start–>Settings–>About.
Well, I was never able to figure out what was using all of the space. It was very strange, so I reset it again. This time, all is going very well and all space was recovered. I am NOT going to use Agile Messenger again, at least not for Google Talk!
