On/Off Problem - Non Responsive - MDA II, XDA II, 2060 General

I have a problem with my XDA 2. Newest O2 roms installed.
I think it may be a software issue, what has happened the past two days is that I press the on button and nothing happens. The green LED still flashes to indicate GSM connection, but the XDA 2 is not responding to the on button. Soft-reset is possible, whereupon the problem is solved, at least momentarily.
Docking the XDA 2 does not make a difference, the charging light does not come on and activesync doesn't startup. This is a problem as I have missed sms messages.
Any ideas? I have pocket breeze, battery pack pro, spb pocket plus (only for the close button functionality and tabbed shortcuts plugin), pocket zen phone and standard stuff such as ia caller id.
Btw, do you recommend taking ia caller id off? And if so, how?
Any help would be appreciated.

Hello,
my XDA II does exactly the same. O2 changed my device already but next morning after I restored everything with ActiveSync the same thing happened again. With the XDA II I had before sometimes a Hard Reset was neccesary to bring it back to life.
I have not installed the O2 Active things except Homezone.
The only thing I have in common with your XDA is that I have Battery Pack 2004 installed.
With the XDA it had before I had this error 3 times a week, sometimes Hardreset sometimes Softreset.
It also might have to do something with the O2 Network. In Dec/Jan I stayed 5 weeks in Thailand (Roaming AIS) and had no problems at all.
Do you have a O2 Multicard ?
Regards,
Michael

i am having the same issues with a Xda II mini!! I have to hard reset the device and reapply the OS.
Only applications installed are SPB Pocket Plus 2.5 and Handyswitcher 2.0.1.

I've come to the conclusion it's not a hardware issue, but a software issue.
I took the battery out and left it for an hour (i.e. in effect a hard reset). Put the battery back in and it worked a-ok. Rather than returning to a backup I had made with Sprite, I reinstalled all the apps that I needed. I'm going to leave it like that as it seems to be a happier wee device now. I had trialed a lot of apps, so there were maybe quite a few config files all clashing.
Not using battery pack anymore, don't know if it's the difference or not. Don't plan to install anything that I might not use so as to avoid this hassle again.

Hi,
my device was already changed by O2 and I came to the same conclusion. Just 10 minutes ago I had to Hard Reset my XDA2 to bring it back to life.
Did you install the O2 Active Stuff ?
I think I leave it like it is now, syschronice my contacts and dates and wait what happens. When it runs ok for about two weeks I will start install my programs again.
Regards,
Michael

What the FK! Fingerclicks hard reset my i-mate

This is just bull****!!
Some minutes ago, i opened fingerclicks to view number of a contact. Got the number, when tried to close the fingerclicks, screen froze. Waited few minutes. Nothing happened. Tried Soft Reset.....no use. I removed the battery and after few seconds reinsert it.................DAMN!! my imate got reset!!!
ALL OF MY DATA LOST. What a **** fingerclicks is. I will never install it again.
AG
Actually I use it all the time and it's a great program. Sounds like taking the battery out is what actually hard reset your device!
Cheers
i don't think pulling out battery for few seconds can do hard reset. i did remove battery couple of times before without any problems.
AG
have used fingerclicks without problem
I always use Finger Clix and never had a single problem with it. Actually I cannot imagine using the phone without it (especially when you're driving). But, on the other hand, my device made a spontaneous hard reset once while I was installing some program (not Finger Clix)
Hi, I've had the same problem on two different machines using pocket informant. The problem went away when I updated to Vs 5.1, mind you I was also using Battery Pack, which I haven't re-installed. The issue seemed to involve a conflict with Caller ID, an IA style program installed on the ROM. Everytime I selected a photo, assigned to a contact and then tried to preview the machine would immediately hard reboot, the first machine just died and refused to respond. Eventually by removing the battery and replacing it, it did a hard reboot, again, all by itself....so you are not alone. :roll:

Fingerclix induced a hard reset
I experienced exactly the same phenomena as Aghazi. After closing Fingerclix my Qtek XDA-II did a hard reset. I also used Pocket Informant v. 4.6. Do you suggest that upgrading Pocket Informant to v5 will solve this problem?
Hi, sorry about the late reply. I am using Pocket Informant 5.1 and battery pack, lastest upgrade, and evrything works fine!
I am using Pocket Informant 5.1 and battery pack. No probs with fingerclix so far. I think this little app is a must have for the XDA - I have 1400 contacts and looking up a contact whilst driving is impossible without it.
I'm using Figer Clix every time and never had a problem with it

Problem with new O2 ROM

Can anyone else confirm if you have similar problem? After the upgrade, everytime the phone rings, I can't answer the call right away, there's a 5-6 secs pause between when the phone first ring till I can accept the call, during the pause, the screen is hanged like it's trying to wake up from standby... The phone would keep ringing and it's very annoying to just staring at the phone with people watching.. I'm not sure if this is a software conflict but I tried to disable all the softwares but still the same.
And then the battery seems to drain MUCH faster, it drops 30% already in just 6 hours!!! Only had like 10 or so short phone calls, checked email once!!
Last thing is, anyone able to get Journal Bar 4.3.4 running? It went fine before the ROM upgrade, but now it hangs the machine when I sync it with my PC and can't even bring it back with softreset... I had to hardreset 3 times already before of Journal Bar
Am I the only one having these problems????
I too just upgrade but am not facing any of the problems u mentioned. Everything appears to be smooth and much better than the DOPOD ROM
Just running the upgrade now. I'll let you know how I get on with JB.
Edit: Have run the upgrade now an installed JB and all nice and smooth. No problems. Weather is fine, newsfeeds are working, auto scroll is working, expansion pack is detected.... but once it connects and tries to update....the whole things freezes - locks up solid. And a hard reset is the only way of stopping.
Same here, I have not encountered the said problem. As a matter of fact, I don't see any difference either in speed nor performance in corporate mode. Yes, less stuff to go into and change, but come on... all we have to do is turn off the error reporting and beam function. But I do admit, the basic mode deffinitely is faster than the old ROM version. This is my personal experience.
Hmm... looks like only some have and some don't have this problems.. Darkblak, what version JB are you running? And man.. the pause from waking up is driving me crazy
My o2 Exec had been switched off for three hours, but screen open, and I got sombody to call from my landline. Upon the first ring in the calling (landline) handset's earpiece, the Exec screen illuminated and my ring-tone began playing. Clicked the on-screen Answer soft-key immediately (within first three notes of the tune) and the call was connected.
Tried again to check. Same result, connect during first ring.
However, I'm also concerned at the "apparently" faster battery drain. Currently running the battery down to check if the problem is still there after a full discharge/recharge cycle. The only difference in applications that I have installed now, compared with a few weeks ago, is the spb GPRS Monitor v.2.41 (this is *not* the o2 supplied version).

It's a coincidence with your ROM upgrade -- I've been using my Qtek9000's factory ROM for a few months, and yesterday (Dec 22) Journal Bar started acting up. :evil:
I wonder what they're sending through that Journal Bar feed that can freeze a device like that! Very Evil!!

If this is date related - how can you turn the update off. My JB freezes the whole phone as soon as it loads and a soft reset just repeats the process on me. I've hard reset and re-installed 3 times today with no luck.
For now I've hard reset and left JB until a solution can be found.

What I did was I soft-reset, and then before my wifi started up, I would race to disable wifi, or click on one of the buttons (they're in a group of 4) that prevents JB from updating from Wifi/GPRS. Solves the problem for now.
Hmm.. So I guess I should avoid JB for now.. And found out my pausing problem is actually from Worldmate 2006! Remove the today plugin and problem solved. No I have NO weather info at all...

O2 Exec Upgrade Problem
I have today updated my o2 Exec with the new ROM upgrade, all seemed ok until I carried out a soft reset - all my email accounts were lost!!
Tried hard reset, etc - still happening when I soft reset??
Any one have any ideas how I can resolve this problem?
What I find odd is that after the upgrade my handset works perfectly. It is a lot faster than previous, the battery doesn't drain any faster, my email accounts are intact after re-creating them after the ROM Flash.
Is my handset an anomaly ?
Read somewhere here that you should clear out the ROM (Clear Memory app) before you try a ROM upgrade. Also try Corp mode if you haven't yet.

ironically, i think it is battery.nfo which is causing the drain!
i've switched back to the SPB pocket plus battery indicator & my xda exec *appears* to be draining 'normally'.
can anyone confirm?

I don't know what software you're running but if I setup a storage card indicator in SPB Plus I get a long (5-6 seconds) delay before I can do anything after switching on. This is even with the storage card indicator not on the visible tab - it must be gathering information. As soon as I remove that indicator then the machine responds as soon as I switch on.
Jon.
YAY! Thanks been trying to figure out what it was in Pocket+ that was causing that.
Taken the storage card details off and all is good!
Now if only they can sort out the 'stuttering' ringtone!
hm.. i had that problem too..
i think i should try to uninstall pocket + n see how it works...
thanks ape..
I had my Exec repaired and had the latest ROM installed (dated 30 Nov 05). I have not installed any third-party apps at all. Will monitor its behaviour over the next few days. So far, it has been stable and I am alerted to all calls even when using the PowerSave option. Speed a little slower now that I am not using GSPMagic+

Missing Settings

Every now and then i open activesync on my JasJam to see if my servers updated and last sync would be a 12 hours to a day before. So i go to Settings-Connections only to notice a lot of items are missing in all the settings menus. Sometimes a single soft-reset doesn't restore them, but multiple soft resets does. If you don't understand what i mean check out the attached screenshots.
I would post my rom info but the Device Information is missing from System-System! Get what mean?

I do not know the cause but you are not alone - I have told people to go to a certain Icon to change a setting, only to be told they do not have such an icon - but a day or two later they tell me they did a soft reset and suddenly the icon has appeared!
Mike
HAd the same problem. Was told by the service centre that it could be due to ROM instability....... Anyway did a couple of reflashing of the ROM but still happened. In the end, they changed the unit for me. Now everything is back to normal
I too have had this problem with my latest 8525. Settings just disappear sometimes and only return after a few resets, then disappear soon after. Glad I finally found this post, I thought I was going crazy. Guess I am getting a new phone in a couple of days.
I recently had AT&t replace my 8525 because of the afore mentioned settings problem (btw it also reverted back to windows default ringtone no matter what I selected, and I even tried removing TCPMP leaving only WMP)....
AT&T sent me another new phone,
I install my usual 3RD party apps and tweaks.......
SPB: Pocket plus v3 then v4, diary, time, weather, insight, tips and tricks
TCPMP and flash plugin
Opera mini with JBED midlet manager
MISC themes, skins, and icons
Live Search
sirius WM5
device lock and sleuth's PTT fix
Soft key applet
PHM w/ in-call slider volume hack, and maybe one other... I can't recall
I THINK THATS IT...
STILLL THE SAME PROBLEM(S)!
What the hell is happening w/these disappearing settings and default ringtone?
I can only return this damn phone and get a free one until January under my warranty(which is worth every penny so far, if only for all the scratches).
My original Cingular branded (original ROM) phone had no such issues.
HELP ME, OBI WAN XDA!
I think this has happened to other Windows Mobile phone users as well. I have the original rom for my Kaiser and it has happened to me. I freaked out the first time I saw it happen. At first I thought it only occurred when I did a soft reset without a power source (USB or AC), but now I realize it can happen either way. It just happens more frequently when my Kaiser isn't plugged in. The weird thing is I didn't start noticing it until about 2 months after purchasing my phone. I only started noticing it when I attempted to set up my internet connection. Hopefully someone can pinpoint the cause.
It's happening to me to from time to time, the entire settings menu goes missing. (I'm on a TyTN with official wm6).

My Wizard has multiple bugs, need help solving

I understand that this forum is filled with developers. So I am hoping for some informed help. If you have any of these same problems please respond as well. I would like to know if these are isolated to my setup
I migrated from a cel phone and a PPC running WM2003/2003se. Mainly for the converged device, but also for the persistent storage. I run a small business, and and am very busy and rely on my phone and schedule all day everyday.
I have only had the wizard (MDA) for about 3 weeks and experienced odd problems since the first weekhttp://forum.xda-developers.com/images/smilies/eek.gif
. Unfortunately I did not buy new, so I am not sure if any of these are covered by warranty or not... I am just going to list the problems:
1) If I leave my phone plugged in at night to charge than by the time I wake up the phone will not come out of standby. I have to press the soft reset button to get the unit to work again. This happens intermittently
2) I use an alarm program so that the unit acts like an alarm clock. If the phone is plugged in at night, and does not experience problem number 1, than the alarm just won't go off. I turn on the phone and the alarm program is open, but it did nothing. If the phone is not plugged in than the alarm works fine.
3) Soft buttons. I have the registry set to remap what the soft buttons do. I use Agenda Fusion (Latest Version) so i have them set to open the calendar and the contacts to Agenda Fusions view of them. This works most of the time. On occasion the soft buttons just stop working except for running through the menus for reminders.....
4)The other day i went to take a photo, the camera said that it could not proceed because there was not enough memory. At the time I had 30 megs of storage free, about 12 megs of program free and about 900 meg left on my sd card...
5) Every so often the unit won't launch a program, it says that the exe is unsigned or not trusted. It works every other time though.
6) I use cLaunch. Every so often cLaunch disappears from the today screen. The only wat to get it to reappear is to remove it from the today screen from the today items menu, wait a couple of seconds and then return it to the today screen.
7) Every so often the unit stops recognizing the sd card..have to remove and re-insert
8) I use reminders for all my calender and to do items. Occasionally the reminder will go off for a certain item 24 hours in advance, even though the setting is correct in the item...
I feel like I am missing a few problems. But you get might point, WM5 is weird. All of the above can be corrected with a soft reset. But sometimes the problems show up multiple times a day. Causing me to have to soft reset in the most inconvenient times, several times a day.http://forum.xda-developers.com/images/smilies/mad.gif
I did not have these problems under WM2003. I have a friend who uses a Verzion phone that is similar to the wizard (made by a different company though, not HTC...it has an external antennae and that is where the stylus is stored as well) She and I were comparing phones today. Hers runs WM5 but she said that she has never experienced any of these problems in the 1 year that she has owned hers...
Is this an HTC Wizard problem? A WM5 problem with the wizards? Would it help if i installed on of the alternate roms that I read about here on XDA developers? I am considering a hard reset and starting from scratch but I don't want to go that route unless it is the only way. And if I do, I may just use one of those roms.....What does everybody think?http://forum.xda-developers.com/images/smilies/confused.gif
Sorry for the long winded post....
Seems like a software problem based on (1) and (2). Is the ROM an official ROM?
Re:
Hello Hanmin Thanks for responding,
Re Number 1. I just saw that some one else posted with that problem. So I will see if they have they same alarm program installed. I have wondered if everything is software related. Thats why I am hoping to see if others are having these types of problems, and if so, what programs they are using...
Re the rom...yes it the official T-mobile release, version listed in my sig.
Thanks again
New problem
I have just encountered a new problem:
While picking up my voice mail the system would not register my button pushes. Weather on screen or the hardware buttons. I could not interact with voice mail, nor could I end the call with the hardware button or the soft button....I had to reset the phone to end the call!!
How frustrating is that
Have you tried reflashing the original ROM? Being a used phone that would be the first thing I would do. It's going to wipe out all your data and return it to an "out of box" state, so i suggest backing up anything important and sync to your PC. If that doesn't work then you have a hardware issue but I'm willing to bet that should take care of it. You can find the original ROM on HTP's website. Good Luck
Thank you
Thanks for that suggestion....I am hoping to not go down that road, if I can help it. But I will do it if there are no other options. So If I may ask: How many votes does re flashing old Rom Get? And are there any other ideas?
Again Thanks. I am going to download the rom in case it does come to that....
wait...the phone dosen't wake up unless you push the small button on the top of the phone? That is not the default setting on the MDA, however it's acting naturally. Our phones go on a standby to save power. Click the battery icon in the lower right hand corner-->Click the Advanced tab--> uncheck Turn off device on external power
Misunderstanding....
When the phone is plugged in over night and reaches %100 charge some times it won't "Wake Up" even hitting the power button on top. The only thing that will turn it on is the "Soft Reset" button on the right side, beneath the IR sensor.

It sounds like you have software problems - possible a corrupt notification queue - personally i would do a hard reset of the device - probably in the process of this i would soft reset before the t-mobile extras install - taking details of gprs, mms settings before this.
I would run the phone without installing software to see that its not a hardware problem. Then reinstall programs one by one and see how it goes. Some software like claunch is not made for wm5 so expect some glitches (i use claunch and get occ glitch)
If you dont want to hard reset check the notification queue for duplicates and rogue scripts using check notifications - attached - install via pc. Dont delete notifications important for system running - common duplicates are clock\calendar.
alarm problems
Hi,
frankly i had similar issues - less critical but annoying: alarm clock not waking me up, slow system, notification queue mess, difficult resets, camera issues, bluetooth a2dp skipping. I upgraded my Qtek multiple times, and finally i can say that 2.26 roms (i use molski's) are exceptionally stable and reliable. The problem is not Wm5, the problem is how buggy many released versions are. So, my suggestion: look to the forum, find roms that appear to have a reliable history, cross your fingers and...upgrade. Then, resist in upgrading to any rom that just came out and appear to be faster, cooler, nicer. Unless you have an issue to be solved, and you see 100 messages confirming that the rom is stable and does the job...
Thank you meschle and pzucchel for the thorough answers. I am going to try the notification queue first.
@ Meschle: where do I find the gprs, & mms settings? And should I just copy them down by hand? Then after re-starting w/out tmobile crap, do I just put these settings in the same place as where I found them?
@ Pzucchel: Do you believe that Molski's 2.26 is more stable than the Tmobile factory installed 2.26?
Thanks again

Write them down manually its the safest way - there are cabs available but often dont work.
GPRS - settings\connections\connections\manage existing connectons - settings should be here prob named t-mobile
MMS - go into messages\menu\options\MMS\servers click on prob t mobile again.
Thanks again!

ameo freeze every day serveral times

Hi,
i have everytime the problem that when i turn the ameo off,
it freeze when i turn it on, this is randomly so i cannot figure out
when this is happends, after soft reset it works again.
Is there a way to find out where the gab is?
tried to close every open application so far, and turn the most
used on after turn of the device.
I'll hope to find out otherwise i need to to the hard reset
(it took that serveral hours to install al again .
thanks

Hi tvrman.
For starters, install Sprite backup (on one of the CD's you got with the Ameo). This will eradicate the need for a full install after a hard reset in the future!
I suggest you do a full hard reset anyway then install Sprite Backup utility.
Only put back your essential apps one by one with 1/2 a days gap between each installation and test the turn off turn on function.
Be sure to use the supplied X-Button application to ensure you properly clode apps down after you're finished with them....or use Wisbar Advance 2, which will do it for you....except for Active Sync (this will always remain active unless shut down manually in memory menu).
I have not once suffered the problem you have in over a months use of the Ameo....might be a faulty unit or a buggy ROM. What version ROM are you using?
Anyway, if all goes well over the next 3 days, do a full backup and save a copy to your storage card or micro drive and be sure to copy a copy over to your PC...that should future peoof you having to do a full install again in the future. And be sure only to back up, if you have no problems with the device and the problems you mentioned earlier. Otherwise you will allways restore the bugs in the device after a hard reset.
Hope this helps. keep us updated on how you get on.
Mackaby007
thanks for you professional answer, i was not aware that spd backup
was on the cd which was delivered at the ameo.
Well yesterday i found out that one of the programs (profimail)
which i'm using serveral times a day for my mail, that this is the problem
I found out that yesterday i didn't use profimail but the built in mail the
whole day and the ameo did not freeze at all the whole day
tried to turn it off an on the whole day and no problems at all,
yesterday late i start profimail and check serveral mails, i close profimail
and turn the device off, later turn it on and a black screen it would not
turn on
After soft reset everthing works.
So i will check today again without using profimail and see what's happends
again.
i'll let you know....
hi,
I had the same problem.
My solution was to format the mini-sd card.
So what i did:
1. copied all data on de minisd in a cardreader to a directory on pc
2. Formatted (not quick) the minisd
3. Copied all data back to the minisd.
All the tests I have tried suggest it is Wisebar Advance 2 that is causing the freezing.
Anyone else find this? Shame as it is the program I like the most

No such issue here! WA2 runs like a dream on my Ameo...even better than it did on my Hermes or Prophet! I'm using the 2.8.0.2 version of WA2 without WAD.
WA2 + WAD
Yes, in my case it was also WA2. I made my own skin and all work fine. But in time I got more lock-ups. So I decided to reinstall everything. Then things went wrong. That day I have installed everything 6 times. Every time I had lock-ups when I pushed the power button and activated it again. But after disabeling WA I had no troubles anymore. The last production and beta version have the same problems. At this point I have to advice not to use WA2. I did not examine every feature of WA2. So there can be one feature that caused the problem. I made my own iPhone landscape skin and I was very pleased. Could somebody try this skin to see if it freezes their device?

I'll give the skin a test run in an hour, but I refuse to use plug-ins again. They have always caused me problems, but WA2 never has. What version were you running?
Tried the i-phone skin and have experienced no issues whatsoever.
Maybe the Problem is WAD and your plug-ins.
WAD keep on giving problems like this...it's a sin for such an interesting application...here it is because I gave up to use it.

All the tests I have tried suggest it is Wisebar Advance 2 that is causing the freezing.

I did some searching and found some suggestions it might be the skin I was using. I changed the skin and no more freezing.

trayap.exe
Since I removed the trayap.exe from the init part of the registry I did not have any freezing anymore. I will try WA2 again to see if this solves my problem.
By the way, I am using the latest beta's of WA2 and WAD
hi all
i find that if i use the off button to turn off the backlight whilst media player is running it jams the machine, requiring a reboot. i know that i can usethe light button on the keyboard but i sometimes forget that media player is running (ie. paused).
I have the same freezing problem now after a few weeks of usage.
The device was running very nicely but now, without installing anything further or adding anything to the device, it freezes randomly.
It likes to freeze when the backlight goes off, while I play MP3 files or have a phone conversation using bluetooth.
In the past 4 days I have softreset the device no less than 81 times.
I suspect the Microdrive is to blame. Is it sensitive to movement?
I will remove all my software and other files from the microdrive and see if things improve.
In the mean time, has anyone else experienced random and frequent freezing?
Oh, I have the Dopod U1000 branded device with the latest firmware.
ok, I had it with this. 16 more soft resets within 4 hours.
I hard reset the device. So far I see no random freezing, but I didn't install anything extra yet except ozVGA and VJBigPhone. And both of them on the internal memory, so nothing on the microdrive.
