Dopod is a brand of Windows Mobile smartphones. Smartphones are similar to regular cell phones but with additional functions that make them act more like a computer. The Dopod, like most electronic devices, will occasionally malfunction. A user may find that the only way to get it to function again is to perform a hard reset.
Instructions
1. Press and hold the "Power" button on the top of the device to shut down the phone.
2. Hold down the left and right "soft keys" (marked "Camera" and "Comm") on the front of the phone at the same time.
3. Press the small "Reset" button with the stylus while holding the two "soft" keys. The reset button is located on the bottom edge of the phone, under the soft keys.
4. Release the "Reset" button but continue to hold the "soft" keys until the message "Do you want to erase all user data and restore manufacturer default?" appears.
5. Type "R" on the keyboard to confirm the hard reset, and press the "Space" bar to complete the hard reset.
