2020 hard reset if battery is too low

Hallo,
I have a qtek 2020 and the matter is that in object:
if I leave my qtek for many days without to recharge it, and therefore discharge of all, it loses all the data and the installed programs: in practical, qtek endures a hard reset.
Is this one normal what or draft of a malfunctioning?
Thanks
Giuseppe

Hi g_dangelo!
Yes, this is quite normal. Information is stored in volatile RAM if using Windows Mobile 2003/2003SE so if your pda stops receiving power the information will perish. Windows Mobile 5 doesn't have such a problem as it uses the volatile memory only for temporary RAM.

SD card "disappears"

Hello,
I have a Blue Angel (O2 Xda IIs). The problem is that sometimes the device doesn't see my SD card even though it is inserted. I thought that maybe it's a hardware error (lose conector or card doesn't perfectly holds in place) so i left it on the table and turn on Audio manager to play music, also I had palringo messenger running using GPRS connection, and after approx. 10min the device stopped playing, the Audio manager was showing an error that songs asociated to this playlist don't exist. When i opened my fileExplorer (GSFinder) the Storage Card was missing. After ejecting and inserting the card for a few times the device found it. Then I checked palringo and I had received one message, approx at the time when the device stopped playing. I tried different cards, different campacities and i get the same result: when using GPRS the card just "disappears", well at least more often then when not using GPRS.
Then another time when the card "disappeared" i didn't touch the card, just soft reset it, and the card was back.
Well, i believe that the card driver is the problem, because if it was a hardware problem the soft reset wouldn't brought back the card.
Stats:
ROM WM6.1 CE OS 5.2.20226 (Build 20226.1.3.0 PV DVH)
Radio rom 1.13.xx (don't remember last digits)
I don't want to change the rom, because this one is very good, it has everything i need, i don't like "clean" roms, because they're too clean for me. If someone can sugest a simillar rom to this one i will gladly try.
Sorry for my english

I've got the same problem too, every time I connect to the net using GPRS my SD card disappears, if anyone knows the remedy to this, please help us out.

U should try the radio rom 1.15.

Help... Problem with receiving calls on elf

Hey. I'm a new user
Bought an elf bout a month back, but the phone has big problem. Randomly, it doesn't ring when someone calls! Shows no missed calls either. Messages don't come as well.
And all this is very random. Some calls do come through. some don't.
Googled and found that a lot of peeps have the same problem. Supposedly, the phone doesn't ring when it is in sleep mode.
But i've had the problem even when i've had the phone constantly on and just locked.
I've tried soft reset but it doesn't work...
Should i get the phone replaced or repaired
Or is there any other solution.
I tried searching this forum but couldn't find any threads related to this problem. There was no information in the wiki either. Can someone help me???
I have htc home customiser, slide to unlock and a picture viewer installed. Original rom

Try hard reset, but remember to backup all your data before. Contacts, appointments, files etc. And better remove SD and SIM before doing it.

Well. Tried hard reset.
Unfortunately did it before i read your reply and did it with the card and the sim in it
I did back up all my data and contacts though
But the problem still persists
I guess i have to make a visit to the sevice centre after all...

Problem after Upgrade
Hey I have a similar problem...
I upgraded my ROM and since then I cannot turn off my Phone cus if I do when i turn it on the Radio (as in Network) WON'T WORK! Even after I insert pin # it just says there are no networks available although every other phone in the house has network... I've tried rolling back to my old ROM (Blue Elves) but the problem persists...
Do you think maybe another Radio version would help?
The new ROM I installed had the latest Radio version and still, same problem... I'm stuck with a phone that has no signal...
Can anyone help?
Thank you!

even am having this problem of not receiving calls.....i even tried a radio ROM upgrade but still the problem exists...damn irritated....any solution for this?

Similar Problem
Maybe CPU don not support. All functions well, but when I connect wireless, Bluetooth and GSM (long call), mine friezes. I have no solution.

Same problem for me too.
I even took my phone to my provider and they messed around with the IPL, SPL and ROM but still could not figure out what's wrong. I get txt msgs (didn't bother trying outgoing) and I can connect EDGE and GPRS but can't make or receive any phone calls.
I did notice sometimes the phone searches for a network but can't find it (even when locked to my provider).
This has to be a common problem. All other functions on the phone works fine.
Please if any of you find a solution, share it with the rest.
Thanks

Onix Light Version Rom Cooked by myself.
FOR ELF/ELFIN
This version cooked by myself solve the problem of unexpected shut down on 50% and 30% of the battery. A ONYX JR. 4.1.4 (Lighter) was cooked with the last radio IPL & SPL.
I have tested about 20 different Roms and I found some stability in a HTC Touch ELF with this cooked ROM. Similar problems occurred with various IPL & SPL and radio versions.
I supposed the hard code for this OMAP850 with speed of 201MHZ is too heavy for all the functions working at the same time. With some rom versions the battery goes down like 20% in 10 minutes with All radio functions (wi-fi, BT, GSM). I supposed it´s solved.
Mine is working for 3 days without reset.
Please feel free to try. Mail me to [email protected] , because I don´t know if I could post a link here.
Notes:
REMEMBER YOUR HTC ELF/ELFIN MUST BE SIM AND CID UNLOCKED. (FIND THE WAY IN XDA DEVELOPERS AT THIS LINK: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=408637 )
ELFIN: Free Storage Memory: 171.27MB; Free Program Memory: 79.23MB (Version 4.1.2 with only M2D running)
ELF: Free Storage Memory: 54.22MB; Free Program Memory: 22.91MB (Version 4.1.2 with only M2D running)
We are not responsible for any bricked device.
Ps: I have sent mine to HTC, and the solution was changing the mainboard for 179€. Bahhhhhh no away.

No Service/No Phone after WM6.1

Hi, I have a BlueAngel (Orange SPV M2000) and I performed a upgrade to 6.1. My phone was working till I done a softreset and now, if I take the battery, softreset, it will say "Phone is off". Restart it properly and then it comes up No Service, strange.
Radio ROM: 1.15
OS: 6.141WWE
Protocol: 1337.45
PS: When I softreset it, it says Radio: NONE, Protocol: NONE.
JBITKILL

hi, that is more than certainly true, and it happens to all of us, in my experience, it happens with every blueangel, and every wm6 rom, it is quite comparable to the 4colour screen, it happens with every rom here ad nobody knows, what way there is to change it.
Taking out the battery is not a legit way to soft-reset your device, although i see, that on wm2003se it behaved the same then. since on wm6.1 there is a bug, that in comm manager the airplane mode doesn't fully work and, if you don't have pin control set for your sim, it restarts the phone occasionally, so restarting via removing the battery for a sec is a good way to bypass that bug. so conclusional:
- there is no problem with your device, it just comes with upgrading it.
- whenever you want the phone off, while still having the opportunity to access every other function incl. wlan and bluetooth, restart by taking out the battery, because comm manager wouldn't allow that to work

well, This problem is associated with the incompatible phone dll (which governs the GSM bands selection). The problem with it is that, any asian network wont be picked by blue angel (WM6 or 5 doesnt matter) coz they have a different GSM band configuration which i personally dont know. Also the selection of GSM bands doesnt work too. The old WM2K3 one doesnt provide full compatibility to all asian networks which is the major drawback to all the WM upgrades here. No one is still able to solve this problem. (yea i have tried the radio version downgrade/upgrade too).
You may tell us what GSM bands ur network uses. The same problem is stated here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=297099
no body still got luck in the solution to this problem. and its sad that i have to bear the hard reset every time my battery runs out (its running out of life too coz of this screw hard reset, I have to recharge it after 50%)

Re:
I have hard reseted the BA (NO, YES, YES/Enable KITL: NO/Clean Reg. Hive: YES/Format Storage: YES)
It seems to work? But now I reset the lot, take out the battery, put it in = Radio: NONE! That's okay now since if I softreset with a pin = Radio: 1.15.00. Just the No Service thing was confusing me.
GSM Bands: GSM-1800 (UK, O2)

hye budd, that battery problem is for all versions of WM5/6/6.1 just soft reset ur device and it'll be okay.
Luckyyou that u r in UK, The tri band support sux on BA here in Asian Countries. Still on old tinky O2 Asia WM2k3 rom

what do you mean you reset a lot?
we only have that Radio:NONE when we change batteries or when we flash new ROMS / hardreset too.
using WM6+ it's fair to say that it's normal on BA to sometimes boot with Radio:NONE after a hardreset/flash or battery changing.
i think it's has something to do with initializing the radio/phone modules after powering on. kinda let the first boot heat it up, then stick the softreset to get it working.

HP Ipaq hw6940/6945 freezing? How to install another OS ?

I own HP Ipaq hw6940/6945 Mobile Messenger, without SIM card phone works just fine, but when I put the SIM card in, in a few minutes system start to freeze, programs won’t open, calling or even entering the messages menu isn’t possible. I also did a soft and hard reset, but no effect. The only thing I can do when freezing is a soft reset, and when it reboots, it freeze again, then I do reset again, and so on. How to fix this problem?? Or at least does anyone know how to install another operating system (Windows Mobile 5 is idle) ??
Please help !

C'mon, is it possible that nobody here knows how to install new operating system ? I need help big time ! If this thread was already posted by someone else, please post a link.

Have you tried the HP ROM update?
I don't think you will find another OS for the 64X5 here... Search the forum and you'll see that... You can try to burn the official ROM update. Below is the link for the English language, but you have others available too...

(testing with no apps)

Hi there,
When I switched from T-Mobile to AT&T, I suddenly got a terrible noise in my 6945's phone calls, and the caller volume is much lower (too quiet now )
Would a 3G SIM cause this problem? I didn't have a 3G SIM card before this. AT&T doesn't offer 2G SIM cards, but I could check on eBay or something if you think this may be the problem.
H-fox: Have you tried a different battery, or running on a charger to see if the battery might be the problem?

I've hard reset it 3 times since switching to AT&T, no change.
Also could it be from using an after-market battery? I had no problems on T-Mobile with the battery though. I no longer have the original battery.
Thank!
Eric

i know there are issues on the 6900 when using unorig battery but what i have seen was radio issues like wifi or device "sleeps" (need sr 2 wake up)
have u tried 2 set volume 2 max during a call?
make a phone call and during that call setting the volume?
do u use profile app? (have u tried after the hr or first u installed things)
can u try different region setting like from english us 2 uk (not setting the time )

I haven't reinstalled anything yet. It doesn't seem to matter if there's software installed or not though. Actually, I have reinstalled Flexmail, but that's all.
I've turned the in-call volume up all the way, but it's a combination of static in the phone (sometimes I hear it, sometimes the other end hears it, sometimes we both do), and weak volume level.
It really makes me hate my phone now, and I really don't like calling people, because of the embarrassing noise, and because I have to ask them to repeat themselves often.
I will try to find a 2G SIM card locally or on eBay or something, to see if that helps. This is really terrible though. The phone was perfect on T-Mobile (well aside from the annoying things HP won't admit it that it does), but as soon as I switched over to AT&T, it became terrible.
Eric

btw-have u tried this one?
driver&bios

Thanks for the reminder on those.
I tried to run all 3. The GSM and DST fixes installed without problems.
The ROM update gave me the error that it's not compatible with my IPAQ.
This Update: SKU ID FA743AA#ABA | FA754AA#ABA
Your Device: SKU ID fa745a-aaba
The letters are all the same, the difference is the capitalization and the position of the # and - characters.
I don't know if it matters that I'm running Windows 7 64 bit with Sync Center. I have a Win XP laptop I could setup a partnership on if you think that makes a difference?
HP Asset Viewer says:
Product Revision Level 1.0
ROM Date 08/21/06
ROM Revision: 1.48NA.00 ENG
Extended ROM Version N/A
OS Version Windows CE 5.1
Bootloader Version G.39
XIP Version 1.0.0.0
The HP page mentions that it works for 1.48 and 1.60 versions. Isn't 1.48 the newest version?
Thanks for your help
Eric

this update is GSM Radio Firmware Update (Radio- phone,wifi,bt on some devices also gps )
