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.

had the phone about 5 weeks or so now, but i am startin to get fed up with it, a few times now i have come to switch it on and nothing happens, but the led keeps flashing. So i have to do a soft reset to get it working.
i thought i had fixed it by removing some programs last weekend, then this morning it did it again, then twice more within a few hours.
just wondered if anyone has anything similar? if it keeps happening i will try giving it a hard reset before getting rid of it

Please be aware to not hit the power button too long. This will let the M600 go into screen off mode. It then looks like it does nothing, while in real, it is alive, you just can't see it.
You can toggle this modus by holding the power button again.
I have the m600 and have never had similar problems.

Check you SD card carefully. If you have corrupted files/structure it can cause crashes. I had this on my Orange M600 (often through the night i.e. would only start in the morning after a soft reset) I kept thinking that it was a software issue but I had some corrupt files on my card.
A simple test is to copy the entire contents of your SD onto your computer. If you have any errors it will normally fail at some point. It's always worth looking at the obvious/simple stuff first.
noony- thanks for the tip- my M600 has been plagued with lock ups, much like the ones you describe (locked in the morning etc).
I'm planning on flashing to a new ROM and will also reformat my SD and see what happens
hi,
i recently wanted to simply restart my qtek s200 (g3), it stops at the blue windows mobile boot screen and just hangs and does nothing (i've waited for hours).
I am not using any mods, simply the original rom/software. The only thing extra installed is 3rd party software and the home screen from the new htc touch (i've have been using it for some time now, and yes, i have been able to reboot several times during that period).
I have no idea why it isn't working anymore since I have been using it in an ordinary fashion and have not installed any software lately...
What I have tried so far:
- soft reset
- removing battery, sd card, sim card
- hard reset is impossible due to the fact that my comm button no longer functions.
Any ideas how I can get this phone to boot in windows again?
If there is no "normal" way, then a hard reset would also work for me as the phone contains no important data.
Let me know if you need more info.
Thanks!

Since no hard reset is available... try removing the battery for the whole night.
If you do manage to get to windows then watch out for the startup folder, you're probably overloading the memory at startup.(htc home and psxut eat a lot at startup and windows as well)
i have removed the battery, sim and sd, and just left it there the whole night, but it still won't go further than the windows boot screen...
any suggestions ?
is is possible to do a hard reset by connecting it to usb and enter the bootloader somehow ? if yes, how ?
thanks!
hi,
have you tryed entering bootloader by the normal process?
"Hold down the camera button and reset the device. (Boot Loader Mode is: Press Camera + Soft Reset, then release soft reset and keep pressing camera button till appear the Boot Loader.)"
regards
yes, I can get into the bootloader, I can then also connect with USB with a notification at the bottom of the screen saying it's connected. However, I have no idea what to do afterwards ...

Okay then there is still hope.. When you have connected the device run an opdate tool like the NVID WM5 Rom.. that should work as a hard reset..
are there any working links available for this ? rapidshare seems to have disabled this...
thanks!

As long as you are able to enter bootloader then you can flash it with any old prophet rom. I had the same issue after installing WM6 rom. I used a Spanish rom on wiki to bring it back and then installed WM6 VII touch. So far it has worked well for a week.
HTC 6tab Home screen killed my 818pro!!!!!!
Here is what happened a few days back. My 818pro (aka prophet) suddenly heat up while not in use 3 days ago. I thought it was caused by the hot weather in my country (I was driving with aircond in full blast). The heating up eventually go away. Then 2 day later, after I put down a call, my phone just frozen / hung. Hence, I do a soft reset & guess what It never recovered & stop at the black screen with the dopod logo while restarting. Some service centre I visited told me that the main memory chip need replacement & reflash!!! I can't even see the window screen. I have use the HTC 6tab for 2 months & I am very sure it's the culprit here. Hopefully you are not having the same problem like me
Try plug in the ac charger before u do soft reset. My phone need it in order to restart after soft reset (after I started using the HTC 6tab Home Screen).
That is before my phone die yesterday
I installed sktools on my wing to get rid of my phantom alarm. So I decided to do a backup of my phone to my sd card while in the sktools program.
It said that after finishing it would soft restart my phone twice. I said ok. It started backing up my files and didnt even get done all the way. It was in the process of backing up my email when it suddenly restarted. Now thats all it does is restart. I removed the battery hoping that would maybe stop it but when i put the battery back in and turn it on, it keeps restarting. I tried to do a hard reset but it wont work.
thanks for your help

Did you try holding the two softkeys (the buttons above the left green call button and right end call button) as the phone was turning on?
yeah i did, it didnt work.
I figured it out though. one of the .dll files was corrupt.
Hi All,
Something weird happened today. After installing Google Earth update, tried to open Google earth, nothing was visible, only the top bar. After sometime the application force closed and phone restarted. After this, the touch screen was not at all responding. I wan not able to unlock the screen at all. Took out the battery and reinserted and no change in behaviour at all.
The only relief was that when i tried to connect to computer, i was getting "Turn on US Storage" screen and it was responding. But only this screen and nothing else. Tried multiple restarts but no luck. Only after changing the sim card, the phone started responding. After this changed back to original sim and the same is working now.
Any idea how to understand cause of this behaviour? Haven't rooted my phone yet.
I know this thread is old but for what it's worth I believe the issue has to do with faulty hardware.
I had the same thing happen to me yesterday when downloading a wallpaper with Zedge. Even when mounting USB storage from CWM I was not able to keep a steady connection, it was like the cable kept becoming plugged in and unplugs every few moments.
From what I was able to find, it's a faulty part and the internal SD card fails. The fix is to have Samsung replace the mainboard
However, I restored a CWM backup and everything has been fine so far, even reading files from the Internal SD that did not work during the time of the issue.
I am going to have my phone replaced anyway (I'm within 30 days with mine so I don't have to send away).
