I read the other threads (even with other phones) about this - do not apply..
Last night, I was changing my HTC EVO 4G's wallpaper (with Zedge app).
When finished, I hit Home button, it asked if I wanted to complete command with HTC Sense or GoLauncher. I accidentally hit HTC Sense.
(note- I do not like the native interface, so have downloaded and used GoLauncher from the market since I had the phone, with is 6 months now).
When it started to come back up in native format, I hit Home button again, trying to start it with GoLauncher. I admit I tried to do this too fast, and think I confused it. So, I did a soft reboot by removing battery.
All last night and today, the numerous soft reboots did not work.
It shows the htc EVO white page, the Sprint 4G logo page, then goes black, the swipe bar says "no service", but when the status bar icons (eventually) do come back on, I see there IS service, it even shows my alarm set. I called myself and was able to answer the call, then get the status bar drop down, as I saw it showed "Low on Space" icon and I figured that was part of the issue (I have a number of apps, that to my dismay, cannot be stored on card - I routinely run on 45-70 MB free).
I touched the "Low on Space" to try to manage and uninstall some apps that take up all the memory, but screen goes blank.
I did this a number of times, trying to get to different aspects of the OS, but the screen went blank/black.
I then found out about the hard reboot (online) and when presented with the options, attempted "Recovery".
It started its thing, then I got an icon of a phone with a green "sync" symbol, then that went away, and I got a phone icon with red triangle and exclamation mark!
What does it mean?
I am hesitant to reset to factory as I have some things stored on the phone that do not seem to be backed up in other areas (contacts, to-do tasks/notes in other apps, etc), plus just all the hassle of the re-do of EVERYTHING. ACK!
Can anyone say what this icon means?
Hesitant to go to Sprint store, cuz they will prob just hard reset it - I can do that myself if I HAVE to, seems I know more about stuff then they do, so I'm hoping all the insanely smart people on this forum can help....
;-)
Oh, Yes - this is not a phone that I "rooted" - it was completely stock, purchased from Sprint in mid-Sept 2011, not a refurbished phone either...
