hi guys
Iv had my XDA2i for a couple of weeks now, everything has been going fine, until just now, when I did a soft reset. The xda just goes to the first screen (that says o2, xda2i and has bubbles in the background, also has the red writing in the bottom right corner) and stays there, the backlight stays off.
I havent changed my rom, its straight out of the box. The only thing that I have done since my last reset is changed my SD card from 256mb to 1gb. Though it has been a while (5 days or so) since my last reset, dont think I've done any thing major in that time, part from play with Pocket Zen, Flash dash and a bit of tomtom'age.
I've tried putting my old SD card in, no sd card in, sim card in, no sim card in, left the battery out for a few mins, just left it for ages... but nothing happens, it just stays there!
I really don't want to try a hard reset, is there anything I could do to get it going again?!?
Thanks for your help
Alvin

Any help is greatley appreciated. I just bought the xda2 a week ago and it worked fine until yesterday. At first the phone just wouldnt dial. Then it would freeez. After a soft reset, it wouldnt go past the first "o2" screen and would just hang. The blue light started flashing eventhough I never enabled Bluetooth. The system didnt start past that screen and it also wouldn't shut off. Even after a hard reset it still had the same symptoms(it froze at the bootup screen and had flashing blue light). Around 30 minutes later after trying to turn it on and off. I finally started. But then it happened again today. Thanx in advance
If it still displays these symptoms after a hard reset then it look like a hardware fault. Only other thing i can think of is if you have a memory card inserted that is upsetting the system.
It doesnt have a memory card. I was afraid it might be hardware related. Any idea on how to have it repaired from the US
I've had the Vodaphone VPA for about 2 months now. Starting about 2 weeks ago it has begun to do soft resets when I try to power it up. Sometimes 1 in 10 power ups will reset, sometimes 1 in 3. I have found no logic or reason to the madness. The problem started under WWE 1.11 ROM and still happens under the new WWE 1.12 ROM... any thoughts or suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
I too am having reset problems with the 1.11 Rom. Never had thi problem with the old 1.03 ROM...
But it only happens when I charge it via the wall socket, and unplug it, it will soft reset...no problem when i charge via USB...dunno why, dunno if it's a 1.11 problem...but I guess i'll just stick to USB charging then, no problem with that.
But mine will actually do that on the road. I'll pull it out of my pocket to check the time or something, and boom... reset. I've now started to look at my device before powering it on to see if the lights are blinking (meaning it might still be active) or if they are off (meaning that the thing has already crashed and is just waiting for the power on)... I don't know... I'm kinda lost on this one. Any other thoughts?
hmmm... the mystery deepens... It did it to me 3 times today. I have noticed that the lights will not flash prior to when it resets. So something is killing it while it is out of my hands (I've never had it do anything while I'm actually working on it.) I also noticed that 2 of the three times I set it down to look at something and it had crashed by the time I tried to pick it up 20 seconds later. I'm still experimenting... right now I have removed my 1GB SD card and am looking to see if the problem still exists.
Still hoping that somebody who reads this will have a magic pill for my problems :lol:
Oh well... that experiment didn't last long... 2 more resets in the last 4 hours without the memory card... could it just be that my phone is shot?
Hi - I've been lurking and trying some of the less intensive, flashing-not-required tweaks with success. But suddenly today, I'm having an issue.
My MDA/Wizard is all of a sudden frozen! I havent done anything to it since I got to work today (except blug it in to charge it) and on my way to work, it was operating fine - I watched some anime, read an ebook and listened to music with no problems.
What I've noticed:
- Signal light flashing, but cant get to phone app, doesn't ring when call comes in, gets a generic on-screen notification with no Call ID
- Screen frozen, can hear tapping noise, but nothing happens
- Goes to sleep mode and Power button can wake up as normal, but still frozen and Power button wont turn off device
- Buttons make noise when pressed, but no result
- Of all of the plug-ins (3) and built-ins (5) that are usually on screen, my Messages one has suddenly disappeared.
Today Screen:
*Date
*Owner
*Tasks
*Messages - GONE
*Agile Msgr
*SPB WMP plug in
*SPB Weather
*Device lock
The last thing that I installed was a .cab file from the Big All Tweaks Thread - it was the one that got the Caps/Fn indicator and "E"dge indicators on screen. But EVERYTHING was working after the install and til 15 min ago (14hrs total). I've soft reset about 6 times and even took out the battery with no luck. If I plug it into USB, it charges, but no recognition from AS.
Please help! I'm at work, my contacts and stuff are on home PC.
I'm running the original T-Mobile Rom and I'm not unlocked yet (I was trying to get up the nerve this weekend!)
Thanks in advance!
Hmm....no response?
I'm hope now...
I am beginning to wonder if my problem isn't related to the issue that pple seem to be having with the MDA zapping the SD card. I took out my card and then did a soft reset. My device is workign just fine with out it. Seems that if I put it bak in, there it goes freezing again.
The card seems fine when I put it in the reader, but if the MDA is having a problem with it, I'll be mighty vexed, as it is a week old 1gb card
If anyone has any imput, please chime in.....
I am wavering between trying to figure this out....or just going for it and updating my ROM while I'm going thru all of this anyway...
:nervous:
i have the same issues with about the same software loaded and freezes. to recover from the freeze, i press the reset button and while the phone boots up i press the phone "answer /hangup" buttons once or twice and it boots up.
i do notice something strange after a reboot- the programs on the 1gb sd card are no longer recognized. when i check file explorer, i can see the wizard has creadted a new file store location called 'Storage Card" and it has renamed my stoage card " Storage Card 2". All my files are then seen on "storage Card 2" but cannot be run.
i then deleted "storage card" and rebooted. the wizard then automatically renamned "sorage card 2" back to "storage card" and all my installed programs were ecognized and worked just fine. i suspect there is a bug in the OS regarding stogae card recognition at boot up . any ideas on this ?
thanks
Morning all.
I have had my T-Mobile MDA Compact for just over a year now.. and its the first problem I have had.
Until this morning...
I got to a customers.. turned my MDA off.. and it didnt go off.. it just sat with a blank screen.. no backlight and "Start" in the top left.
After a lot of soft resetting.. nothing changed.
I have now done a Hard reset.. (lost everything) and still have the same problem.
The weird effect seems to be.. 20 seconds or so after the phone has booted and if I am not on a call.
IE.. I can call out... and turn the phone off and on as much as I like.. works fine.. as soon as I hang up and do it.. I get the same problem..
Blackight goes off and the entire unit freezes.
Very weird.. Does anyone have any ideas?
The next step later this evening will be to re-flash the phone.
Please help

fixed - I think
Sprung to mind that I had not tried removing the SD card I had in the beast.
Removed it and it seems to behave itself.
The SD card was used early this morning in my HP iPaq to play an mp3... weird that it now causes my MDA to hang.
Presume the HP corrupted it and it needs formatting.

Hi all ,
I have searched the forum and have not found anything on this problem.
About 3 weeks ago my Jamin decided not to go into 'Standby' mode. I kept pushing the power button but it did not go into standby. Holding it down didnt turn the phone off either. The only way it went into standby mode was by setting the power options to automatically going into standby after a certain time. When this did happen I could not bring it back from Standby mode either. The only way for me to bring the phone back was by removing the SD card then the phone would light up.
Everything else on the phone works fine I can receive and make phone calls etc.
I did a hard reset and everything seemed fine for a while then it would start happening again.
I sent the phone in for a warranty repair and it came back saying there was some kind of software corruption. I thought everything was fixed until it started doing it again. I thought it may be the SD card so I formatted that as well. But to my suprise .. after a hard reset and without the SD inserted it did it again. I have taken it back to the service centre 3 times already and each time they just said it was software corruption and the same problem would occur. Initiall after the first hard reset the power button would work fine after a short period. The first time was 1 day then it would slowly shorten until it did not work after a hard reset.
I was wondering if there was anyone that has run into this problem ... or may know what the problem maybe. The phone is currently on a 'field test' as described by the technicians. I was told they would replce the motherboard if nothing else worked...
I would honestly rather have a new phone .... cause I have not had it for 3 weeks .. going onto 1 month ... and its annyoing ...
Hi dkbaj!
Are you still having this problem? I got a Wizard 4 days ago and sometimes, if it went into standby, it won't come back to me again...
