Hi,
I am still having the problem where when sending an SMS or trying to make a phone call, every now and again, my XDA II's ability as a 'phone' gives up, forcing me to soft reset.
I have previously mentioned this before here http://forum.xda-developers.com/viewtopic.php?t=26285&highlight=cloud but no-one was able to help me.
Just to reiterate: This is happening daily at the moment and since my previous post on this subject I have done several hard resets. To describe it in detail, when tapping the 'send' button after creating an SMS the button briefly turns into a cloud and quickly disappears, I then get the bubble saying SMS sent.
Until I come to send an SMS or make a phone call I have no idea that the 'phone' function of my XDA II isn't working. Therefore, there have been instances where people have been trying to contact me for hours and I don't know about it because I have a full signal strength.
PLEASE HELP. Would a rom upgrade work??? Is anyone else having this problem??
thanks :wink:
all i know is that my gut says maybe!
not rom really but more like radiostack change
What should I upgrade to?? Will that just affect how the phone runs (not the pda)
cheers
once again this forum has proved a huge amount of help.... not. There is another post regarding this problem at the top of the board today. Can someone please help as quiet a few people are experiencing this problem.
RE
What OS are you using on your O2 XDA II? WM2003 or WM2003se and what ROM version?
Can you start fresh by doing a hard reset (make sure you backup all important info)
Do NOT install any program at this point in time.
Then try sending SMS or calling from another phone to yours - to see whether the problem exists with the default programs.
If there's no problem and the default programs work fine that would means conflict occurs between those newly installed programs or between the installed programs and the OS/default programs
If there's a problem at this stage its either the default programs/ROM thats partially corrupted or could be likely due to a hardware failure.
Now, you re-flash your ROM to the same version and see if the problem persists. If after re-flashing the same ROM you still face the same problem then its most likely a hrdware issue.
To confirm further, you can upgarde/flash your ROM to a higher version and see if the same problem persists. At this stage if you still see the same problem then you can 100% be sure its the hardware problem. Bring it back to your service center to have it serviced.
NOTE :- UNOFFICIAL UPGRADING OF ROM WILL VOID YOUR SET'S WARRANTY!!!
However, if after upgrading of ROM and the problem disappears then the problem could be due to a partially corrupted earlier ROM
You can now install programs and occassionally test the SMS and phone to check for program conflicts.
Good luck
Thanks for your help mate. It says what OS and Rom i'm using at the bottom of each thread. I really don't think it's a problem with the applications i'm running because I'm only using the IntelliPad as extra software, everything else which is running is default.
Would a different radio version be worth a try??
RE
OK twichibi,
You can try changing to the latest radio v1.18
If things don't work out try to re-flash to the same ROM version again to check whether you have a partially corrupted ROM initially
If problem still persists try reflashiing (upgrade) to a higher ROM version
If all else fails then you can be sure that you do have a defective hardware somewhere
NOTE : - UPGRADE ROM AT YOUR OWN RISK AS IT WOULD VOID YOUR WARRANTY
my imat jasjar with the latest rom (1.13.53) and latest radio(1.04.02) sometimes freezes 10 times a day, forcing me to soft reset (sometimes 3 or 4 times in a row) before it works again...i have tried everything from upgrading the rom, hardressetting, changing memorycards, leaving the device on instead of automaticly turning of....nothing works..
the worst is when i stop using it and put it on charge during the night, it does not wake up in the morning...i have to softreset everytime and all calls and sms that came in during that time where not received...can anybody relate to this problem, or am i alone in this....i really like the device, but missing my calls and resetting ten times a day, makes me wonder if i should go back to my trusted magician...maybe a rom from another device (o2,mda,qtek) would be a solution ?
any help is welcome
I'd get it replaced as it shouldn't be doing that. I've not had a single hang on my XDA Exec since I got it nearly a month ago.

do you really think it is a hardware problem....i find it more to be a software problem...and i would not like to be without my device for 1,2,3 or even more weeks...anybody know if the qtek 9000 rom is available somewhere...having had a qtek 2020,9090 and s100 and also tried a few mda's and imate's, i find these to be the best roms in general
@jesax, I had a JJ and I used all the features (inc. video calling and UMTS downloads) but only had a freeze with SMS notifications and downloading emails over UMTS. You device could have a hardware problem. The other possibility is the ROM is corrupted so you should try to download a new copy.
mine randomly hangs when using Agile Messenger. Stable the rest of the time.
Planning a hard reset shortly, will see if this fixes it.
in my case a hard reset does not change anything...i have done three and have changed to the latest rom...no dice
does anybody know where i can find the original jasjar rom or a good working english rom to try out or do a downgrade...
i am reaching in the dark here....
@jesax, did you download a fresh ROM from clubimate? Your original ROM could be corrupted

yes, i downloaded the latest rom from the imate site...no go...still the same problems...i first tought it was a charging problem, as it happens every morning when i take it from the charger....i now left the jasjar untouched for a few hours in closed position without the charger, and when i opened it up, it froze again, leading to a softreset.....HEEEEELLLP
@Jesax,
If I were you, I would have falshed the ROM again to my device as I think there is some kind of corruption to your installed ROM.
To get the latest ROM version go to this site :
ftp://ftp.xda-developers.com/Universal/
If it does not open, just go to this site and you can open it from there:
http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=BA_FTP_Site
You can get it also from this site:
http://www.clubimate.com/t-DEVICE_JASJAR_UPD.aspx
But your device must be registered to axcess to this site.
Flash the ROM to your device and try to use it without up-grading the radio version to 1.04.02..... if you experience the same problem so it's definately a hardware problem and in this case you have to give it back, but I think it will work properly "I hope".
If you don't experience the same problem again, it might be either a problem with the radio version or a problem with any of the softwares installed on your device.
By the way, can we know which softwares are installed on your device at the time being??
Please let me know the result.
Regards,
jesax, okay. So you have downloaded the new ROM at least twice now from the clubimate site therefore we can assume the ROM is okay. Also please confirm that you are not using any third-party apps. Are you using a 3G or standard GMS SIM. Try turning off the radio functions (Fn+->) and see if the freezing stops.
Jesax,
Are you using spb pocket plus or any similar software??

thanx, i give it a try but am getting fed up with spending hours behind the computer resetting this thing...
the software i am running are :
resco file explorer
gpspocketmagic
launcher
tomtom 5.1 installed, working but like to freez up also when in use
tweaks2k2
that's about it
i do not use 3g but do use gprs...it was switched to "always on" with the reg hack, but i turned it back (you never know)
i will have a try when i com home this evening to turn of radio function, and charge it overnight (how do i do this, without taking out the sim )
on the wiki ftp site i see there is a 02 xda exec rom i can dowload.
can anyone recommebd this ?
should i give it a try instead of the jasjar rom, and will it install as easily as the jasjar, or will it ask for id's and codes?
thanx guys
@ Jesax,
Before flashing the ROM again to your device just un-install tomtom 5.1 and pocketmajic and see the result "you can use majic button instead" .... if it does the same, you will have no option but flashing.
Don't get fed up...... your problem will be solved, the Jasjar is a wonderful device and you will enjoy it once your problem is solved.

I wouldn't advise you to do that.
There is nothing wrong with the jasjar ROM.... and it's the most popular.
Regards,
jesax, as I said in my previous post, you can switch off the radio using the following keys on your JJ "Fn" + "->" and select the All Off option.
Also remove all third-party apps and see if stability improves. If it does add one app at a time back to see which one is causing the stability issue.
The XDA ROM only requires a code for the Coroprate option (code is 0506), the Corporate option is the best to choose at it has no O2 additions.

thanx...i don't think tomtom5.1 is the problem, as i was having this problem before the install of tomtom...pocketmagic i can't remember when i put it on (so many resets, so many....)
i will give it a go
what's annoying is that it does not happen on steady intervals...it can freeze up twice in a minute, and then work fine for ten hours.

would you recommend me trying it, or is the jasjar rom actually better...i don't want to spend another few hours flashing the o2 rom, if it is no use
another question...maybe related...
i have noticed that when i open up my jasjar from fully closed to "laptop" mode, the backlight does not come on everytime...sometimes it does, sometimes i have to push the "on button" to light up...
my backlight is set to go out on batterypower after 30 seconds, and to stay on with external power.
the powersettings are : turn off after 1 minute on battery power and stay on with external power
@ jesax,
Most probably your ROM is corrupted.... in this case a hard reset will not work, but a fresh flashing to the ROM will be the best solution.
Regards,
The latest XDA Exec System Software is available for you to download. New and changed in this version of software, v1.13.188 are:
Updated O2 Active UI
Disablement of Device Error Logging

Merry Christmas All!
Just posted the same 5 mins ago but what the hell!
Merry Christmas
@stick, it was your post that prompted me to look at O2's site, thought the new Rom deserved a topic of its own, well spotted stick
Downloaded, but no use at all as there is no Macintosh or from device installer.
Is there a way to install from the device?
To anyone who've upgraded.. Is it worth the trouble? How's the new Active UI? Hate to go through all the trouble and find 0.000000001% gain in performance
Upgrading just now will let you know
Upgrading now too...was half way thru when it go to boot loader mode with ID error
Fortunately I hard reset and insert my sync cable...walla uploading new radio rom now...hope it will be ok else i have to send back to UK...very far for me
buggers... can't uninstall o2 Active UI.
Any ideas ? Tried on the handset and using ActiveSync.
hmmm...finish upgrading...there seem to be a battery bar indicator in today..(BatteryNFO)

I had the tray battery icon for about 2mins, now it's disappeared. I seem to recall this happening when I first got my Exec as well. I'd rather have that one than a today screen one...anyone got any ideas?
Cheers

That is because it is removed by one of the cab files. I normally removes it myself after upgrading (e.g. imate , qtek or o2 rom). No I do not have to do it manually.
Well, my experience thus far of the new ROM is that screen rotation is much quicker.
I've got pretty much all the same apps on as I did before with the old ROM and I'm quite happy with it thus far.
Feels a bit tighter, generally. That long delay in opening Start menu seems to be gone, for one.

Hi
Have they upgraded the radio version.
Have the resolved the problem of the radio, when it losser signal it does not get it back untill you soft rest or switch the phone to flight mpde then back on then you get a signal is it still the same????????????
Ciao
Gigino
Just done the upgrade, but lost 5-years off my life and some of the remaining hair on my head in the process!
Removed earlier details of problem following complaint of repost-
:
:
Major difference is that o2 have junked their dreadful interface, and the top & bottom blue bands of the o2 Today theme are lighter, but little else appears to have changed/been added. AKU2 is not included.
Current O2 Exec versions are:
ROM: 1.13.82 WWE
ROM Date: 11/30/05
Radio: 1.04.02
Protocol: 42.37.P8
ExtROM: 1.13.188
So are you advising us that if the "error" appears to just let it sit there and just watch?
Is there an Messaging Feature Pack with this ROM?

This error is very common, nothing to worry about. It is old news. It has been discussed on various threads already. So if any issue just do a search. Advise is always: do not unplug anything or stop the PC. Just re-run the update again. If you are flahing this Exec rom on a non Exec device (e.g. Jasjar, Qtek 9000 or MDA Pro), make sure you use the MAUpgradeUt_NoID.exe. Otherwise you will also get the country code error.
I have flashed my MDA Pro about five times now (with Jasjar Rom, imate, O2) and so far it always succeeds.
Can anyone confirm whether the new rom fixes the GPRS Monitor install problem ?
Hi there,
I'm experiencing this after I got Goodlink installed on my Wizard. If I hit the touchpad, the screen goes white for an instant, then the desktop is built up again and I can use the device normally. However, if I don't touch the screen for, say, 10 sec, and then I do it again I have the same nice effect.
Anyone experiencing the same? any suggestion (beyond removing goodlink :wink: )?
Many thanks
Marco
i have never seen this problem on mine, sorry i can't help
I'm unaware of Good... but if you are using the Cingular 8125, I suggest you switch your firmware. 8125's firmware is really slow.
After I changed my Rom to Button's custom ROM, things been a lot snappier.
G'luck.
Hi jklny,
I have a Vofadone-branded Wizard, not sure what firmware it has. What is this Button's custom ROM you are mentioning?
thanks
Marco
http://forum.xda-developers.com/viewtopic.php?t=37980
Best ROM I used so far... very stable and appears snappier than the built it one from Cingular.
I have the exact same issue, but I don't know if it's because of goodlink or because of the registry hacks I made to improve speed. Have you done any of the hacks?
Hi malencar,
I did some of the hacks, but *after* installing Goodlink SW, so it has to be Goodlink causing the issue. The latest version (I believe 4.0.27) does not officially support the wizard, it will with a version coming out probably next week. Hope this issue will be solved.
Other thing I noticed today: the calendar entries in the today screen are broken, any clue?
regards
Marco
might be your version, I have 4.7.0.25 installed and have no problems.
I have had the same problem too. However i read in another forum that someone noticed this was more to do with the password protection beinng turned on that with good. Password is mandated by my good install so i have no way of testing. You might give it a try.
Hardware: Dopod 818Pro
ROM: Qtek S200, 2.20.7.34 World Wide English, Date:7/10/06, Radio: 02.47.21, ExtROM:2.20.7.114
Software Installed: E-Sword 3.01 (Bible Software), Mapking 2007, Select-Radio, MobiPocket
How's the problem happened:
After Hard Reset, simply install above software, and start the 10 hrs test by launching E-Sword, Mapking and Select Radio, keep the radio playing, by sharing Internet connection through USB to PC.
10 hrs later, or around, you will possibly find either,
a. some icons "white out", not able to run by clicking on them, if you do click, they will give you a program is not certificated, or something like that being mentioned at other threads.
b. Today Screen lost some lines.
c. System may hang later.
IMHO,
1. It looks rather like the GDI resource running out in win98 system.
2. The originally seemed random error now can be repeated by above procedure, time related, always around 10 hrs.
3. Not to specific software, any above software can cause the same problem, just choose SelectRadio as example, since it also test the network connection.
Anybody experience the same problem and any suggestion? It's not a big one, however, annoying when you need to keep running something.
It would be very grateful if somebody can offer me a suggestion on the cause or how to debug it.
J install this rom
J Have problem with:
Today Screen lost icon
Keyboard don't work etc...
The best rom WM5 for Prophet is : JAMin_WWE_213923_2139123_022021 ( ftp://ftp.clubimate.com/JAMin_WWE_213923_2139123_022021_ship.zip )

Bro, with all my grateful heart, i would like to ask you for one favor. Could you pls be more specific on your PDA phone hardware (Dopod, or Qtek) and how long after your phone on did that happen? A clean installation?
I had pinned down the problem to my Home Screen Plugin from HTC, due to possible memory leak or heap corruption.
Now i upgrade to Korand's WM6 ROM without problem.
May still want to know the cause of problem to avoid it in the future.
Anyway, i will still download your suggested ROM for dissection...to see the difference. Thanks.
