Dear Friends,
I am new to this forum as well as to O2. My MD few days purchased an O2 Xda mini S. Till yesterday it was working perfectly fine.
Today onwards when I try to send SMS (Text Message) the phone displays the following message "The phone is not ready. Wait 15 seconds and try again."
He is unable to send SMS because of this and the ball is in my court now. I need to solve this problem somehow. Please help me
Regards
This is a known bug with the phone, and I don't know any easy way around it. The only solution is to soft-reset, then wait about 5 minutes, and go in and send an SMS. It usually happens when you try to send an SMS shortly after starting the radio (i.e. resetting the phone, or coming out of flight mode).
Help !! How to soft reset

Thank you for the info. I don't know how to soft reset the phone and will I lose contacts, SMS, GPRS settings etc if I go for a soft reset.
As I said in my previous message I am new to Windows OS for mobiles. All my earlier phones were Nokia.
Would be helpfull if somebody tell me how to soft reset the phone and also please let me know wether I will lose all my data if I do a soft reset.
Thanks in advance
soft rest - poke the stylus tip in the hole on the right, next to the IrDA window.
and no, you won't lose all your data. WM5 uses persistent storage, kinda like Flash memory. Even if your battery dies, your data remains.
I have a huge problem with my MDA compact III. The problem is, I have to hardreset my device almost everyday. Thats because all of a sudden the device acts strange and won't open almost every program. When I softreset the device then, the device won't pick u a signal. In stead of showing how strong the signal is, it diplays a !. Also after the softreset sms, mms or my mailaccount is deleted. I have never spoken anyone with the same problem or anyone with a solution. I only have Windows Live Messenger installed, but many people have and none of them have my problem so that doesn't seeme to cause this problem. It's really annoying and it's getting worse by the day. Yesterday I had to reset my device 3 times(!).. If anyone knows this problem or more important, knows a sollution, please share it with me cause i'm close to driving my car over my MDA

Are you doing an actual hard reset where you hold the two soft keys on either side of the chome wheel, then hit the sunken button on the left side with your stylus while holding the two soft keys and then confirming with the green talk key? If so, sounds like a hardware problem.
No not using the softkeys. I always perform a hardreset in settings menu, i don't know how it's called in english but in dutch is called 'opslag wissen'. Sometimes I get an error saying cold boot could not be completed blabla and then i have to confirm to hardreset.
Tom
Sounds like you are using the 'clear storage' option. Try the actual hard reset procedure and see if that fixes things...thats how I do it.
I just performed a hardreset using the the softkeys. I hope this will make a difference and solves my problem. If not, my MDA gets his first swimminglesson and I'll contact my insurancecompany.
I'll let you know it worked out. Thanks for you're help

As far as I know, this 'opslag wissen' is the equivalent of a hard reset. So it should not make any difference, unfortunately.
no it didn't make a difference. had to be hardreset allready. going over to plan b, allready filling the bathtub.
If you do teach it to swim, however, please post pictures.
Ok,first of all,my english is not so good,but I think that you are going to understand me. And,before I explain my problem,thanks for your help.
So,Everything was great,but all of a suden my Tytn started to have some very iritating problems. Here are few:
1.When I am writing a text message,and I am using slide-out keyboard,some of the keys are not writing at all. For example: I type letter "a",but nothing shows.
2.I try to dial a number or locate a contact in my contact list,all of a suden,my tytn starts typing (random) letters,like "sakljdfbhaoskdIHBDSDAF" and I cant stop it! I have to soft reset my device. What is weird-those problems are not always there. They are very unpredictable. This problem happens also when I try to write new text message. It just starts to write random letters. For example: "Dear friend,can we meknsdfkjasndfksjdfnkjsd...." Very Iritating!
3.After I power on my device,and windows "boot" up,first screen/window that I see is a dial screen-and I cant close it! It takes 10 minutes or soft reset to get me to Today screen.
4.Sometimes,very rarely,my screen/colors dramaticaly change! Colors on the screen go like a negative or like they are inverted. Why?!
5.My camera works but most of pitcures that I take have green stripes/lines!
6.And my buttons (up,down,left right,start,ok button,video call,call,drop call) are not working!
Ok,very weird problems,dont you think?
My OS version is Schaps 4.22,I changed it to 4.31,the newest one I thing,but nothing,same problems! Also tried the option "clear storage". Nothing. When changing the rom didnt help,i returned to official htc tytn rom,but everything is the same. Can anyone help me? I spend one year colecting money to buy this ( till now fantastic ) device,please tell me that I can do something. What is the problem? Thanks.

it is very difficult to see exactly what happens. But first though is that a connector or something like that is disconnected inside the pda. If under warranty, it would be better to send it for repair. If not, you could try to open it. But it is risky...
(Sorry for my bad english) Hello, i have a big problem with my Ioite, problem starts a 3 days ago.When i press top button for turn off display, phone automaticly shutdown,but these shutdowns hasn't schedule. Sometimes it doesn't shutdown for a 5 hours, but sometimes it shutdown 5min after power on. I solve this problem that way so i must open case and take out battery. But this is not solution I don't want make hard reset my phone. Problem start when i installed some apps - like SRS WOW (for better volume) and SPB Traveler, I remove SPB Traveler, but phone still shutdown randomly and automaticlly. Please help me with this problem. Thank you for your respondings. PiiiRKO
If you remember the programs that you installed before the problem begins, maybe(if it isn't a hardware problem) you can solve it. Probably one of them put some values or keys in registry that don't erased when you uninstall the program. So you can open the cab of these programs with a cab manager on pc(e.g wince cab manager) and see what registry entries they have. After with a registry editor delete or change these values and see if your problem solved. Hope this helps you to find a fix.
Unfortunetly...
Unfortunetly this solution doesn't help so i must make hard reset. Hope this solve my problem. But thank you very much for your help

When the phone is closed or blocked and no longer respond to any command, the only method of booting is to reset it? I also had a similar problem ... random phone stall and not respond to any command, the only method of starting the reset or battery removal
Same issue I found it today on my HTC touch cruise 09. But on my device I haven't installed any new apps in the last month. Any other ideas? What could be wrong in this case? I have to mention that the device is working with original software, no changes done in this way. Any help would be great. Thanks.
I had the same problem a time ago, but with another device (HP) and also, it began when i installed the SPB Traveler ... I uninstalled it but the problem didnt disappear ... I had to make a hard reset ...
Now, I have install it again in my Iolite (I think that it is no a problem of this application) and all works fine ... i hope all follow equal forever ...
Regards!!!
Hi there,
I hope to find someone helping me to solve my "little big problem" :
when a call comes in, and my treo usually vibrates in interval, (i mean it vibrates, stops, and vibrates again) it keeps vibrating until i accept or decline it.
it is not a hardware issue, because it does vibrate with interval when receiving a new sms.
it cannot a slightly problem with the software, because the problem exists too, after a hard-reset is done.
the problem was solved ago, when changing the ringtone, but after it came back, no change in the preferences solved my problem, and i began to get frustrated...
the palm support told me to send my palm to their service center, but my palm is bought new at ebay, so i cannot verify the date i bought it...
i think, because the problem was solved once, it can get solved twice within software, but how?
maybe if i would reflash the windows mobile system... actually it is original, no flash was done on the device.
when reflashing it could solve my problem, it would be great, if someone could help me flashing it, because i never flashed a winmob device...
i would need a original untouched ROM, if possble too...
or does someone have another idea? please help me!
Quite a bit simpler than that. All you need to do is a hard reset.
Remeber to backup everything you want. I would suggest activesync, or if you have sprite backup, backup everyting except sysem settings (documents and contacts, appointments...)
Once it is all backed up, simply hold down the red button on the front. While holding the red button, use stylus to reset phone. Then it will say reset? Press up on d-pad and you will be set.
Nope, srry... like i allready wrote: "it cannot a slightly problem with the software, because the problem exists too, after a hard-reset is done."
i allready did a hard reset, and the problem is still there...
Any more Ideas?
Now, (20.04.) the Treo's LED does not light up, when connected to charger.
Sollution!
Okay, finally i got a sollution without reflashing the device!
The combination with HookMGR (nedded for next)
And VAlert 2.21 let me configure the vibrating problem...
So, it's running all fine now
Love Palm! Love Treo!
vAlert 2.21 Download Location
Do you have a download location for vAlert 2.21? I have a Treo Pro that I am trying to reconfigure the length of time it vibrates. It stays on continually when I receive a phone call and it is really loud in meetings.
Thanks.
