Disappearing "Messaging" apps
Monday, 3:56 PM EDT
Just bought new AT&T TIlt last tuesday. Had something weird happen last Friday. It appears the messaging application vanishes for no apparent reason. hitting the messaging hard key, or touching messaging in Today window or even the send text message icon in tool bar does nothing. Even though it was working fine for days. No response to power cycle, battery pull etc. Took to AT&T store, did soft reset. No effect at first, but then 2nd try, everything back and working after reboot. Until last night. Same thing again. Now working again, but really a pain w/numerous soft resets required and came back again just before I was preparing to wipe the thing w/hard reset and start all over.

Just wondering if this is my device or anyone has seen this. Seems wonderful (compared to 8125) but so far this is very unreliable experience for email/text services.
Do you find this valuable?

Did you try a hard reset on yor device? Just goto Start\Settings\System\Clear Storage. Enter 1234 into the text entry box and it will wipe yor device completely to it's original state (when you first bought it). Unfortunately, it means you will have to reinstall everything (if you did). Do you find this valuable?

No, I got within seconds of trying that, actually tried it with the simultaneous button pushes while trying to hit the reset button, but fell off one of the buttons during this, and effected yet another soft reset, which, after like six trys, fixed it again. So far it's been working/staying messaging functional all day. If it happens again, it will be hard reset and/or exchanged for brand new unit. Might as well eliminate that too as long as I have to reload/resync everything anyway. Do you find this valuable?
