My MDA COMPACT II is giving me restart problems. - JAM, MDA Compact, S100 General

It hangs sometimes and when i soft rest, it doesnt reset... if i hard reset it it doesnt reset... please advice on how to solve this problem.

Confused.
You mean you soft reset but it doens't reset? Or it hanged after the reset (e.g. while loading WM5).
And you tried hardreset? The manual for the hardreset procedure may not be good (they've copied over from the Magician). On your hardreset, did you see the device saying something like.. Press send to format the memory and Formating FAT something like that? Just to make sure you really hard reset it.

i think i'm having a similar issue. in the last 3 days my jam hangs on soft-reset in the picture of the initial display screen, and the only way to bring it back to life is to hard-reset, which on the move can be a pita.
im building a cab for all the settings and these hard-resets push me to continue developing it, but in the end it's becoming annoying. i've upgraded recently to taxist rom and it's stable since 2 months, but then i had to flash it again and since then it sux

Weird problems, bluetooth, sound, activsync

Hi I am hoping someone can point me in the right direction.
I love my S200 it is perfect in every way, just lately after installing mNotes though i have had numerous problems, which seem to be only cured temporally by hard resetting the device.
I reset the device then within the next 1- 2 days I have lost my Bluetooth connection, it all seems OK but you cannot turn it on, when you click OK and go back and check both the Bluetooth on and discoverable boxes have had the crosses removed.
This problems also seems to extend to the sound when you turn it up, the phone turns it down.
And activesync just seems to stop working requiring a hard reset.
It almost like even after hard resetting the phone keeps hold of some of the old settings, is there a way of making it factory default apart from a hard reset, ie a HARD HARD reset ?
I need to get the mNotes working to stop my company forcing me to have a blackberry, but at this rate my device is hard rest almost every 24hrs.
Also how the hell can you back the device up now, in the old Activesysnc you had the option but now its gone !!!
Here’s hoping some one has the answer.
Cheers
Could you please tell how you hard reset your device? What version is your ROM?
I hard reset the device by pressing in both camera and record buttons and then pressing the stylus into the hole in the bottom, hold the record button in and let the other out, it then gives you the choice press sned to reset or any other button to escape.
The Rom is 2.9.7.24 WWE
Date 2/9/06
Radio 02.07.20Protocol 413.1.03
Ext rom 2.9.7.106
Cheers
It's quite unlikely that any settings from installed programs could remain after a hard reset.
After the next hard reset, I would try to use the phone without any program installation to make sure that it works under its default settings. If problems come back, then you may have a defective device and would have to return it back to your customer support. If there is no problem I would then try to install program one by one to make it clear which program causes the problem. Good luck!
Bluetooth not working
Also seem to have the same sort of problem.
Bluetooth works ok for several days and then for no reason refuses to connect to my bluetooth car kit and have to do a hard reset and start agn.
This has happened several times now.
Device is UK Orange M600 Standard rom etc.
Was wondering if to flash with a different rom maybe i-mate to see if this cures it. any ideas anyone.

This is what I have done for the last 6-7 days, it is now becoming very frustrating. Even my old MDA did not require this much attention.
Now thinking about putting in the latest Dopod Rom.
Hard reset last night , no bluetooth now and Activsysnc no longer works.
So I supose its another h-reset or an upgrade ??????
Agree with you to try to upgrade it to the most recent Dopod 818Pro ROM (ROM version: 2.15.13.27 WWE). I have been using this new ROM for a while without any serious problems.

registry values and hard resets

can anyone tell me if the registry is reset when a hard reset is performed? for a while my phone has been running incredibly slow and no number of hard resets has fixed it
when you hard reset, it put everything back to how it was!
hmm
it doesn't seem to be doing that, i installed zagat to go on my wizard the other week as did a couple of people i know, it's made all of the devices crash constantly and no number of hard resets are fixing it
How are you "hard reseting"? If by using the stylus in the reset hole then that's a soft reset. A hard reset is performed by holding Record and Camera buttons and reseting with the stylus, then pressing the Send button when instructed to format. You can also "Clear Storage" from Settings\System. You will lose all settings and have to start all over.
i've been doing a true hard reset. i've found the issue now, the software that was causing the problem seems to install something or change the registry settings when connected to the pc even if you don't install the software itself.
i'd recommend to everyone to avoid zagat to go like the plague
Zagat OK
I've been using Zagat for six months without trouble. I have it installed on the miniSD and have about 30 cities. Zagat isn't nearly as useful as Vindigo, but Zagat operates fine. It doesn't have a program running on my PC so there is no mechanism by which the PC could be changing the registry of my MDA through activesync.

stucked on 2nd splash screen

hi guys, this might seem to be posted a lot of times but i havent found anyone who experienced the same problem as me. ive flashed a custom rom (not found in xda dev) and the phone went well for 3 weeks to a month.however, today(lunchtime) i had a problem i soft reset my device and i was stuck at the 2nd splashed screen. i dont think my hermes is bricked because i can do anything a normal hermes do before. (pda function, calls, sms) really no problem at all until today. ive done what the wiki said like
Problem 2: stuck on windows mobile screen
Try to soft reset with stylus and wait 5 minutes on the windows mobile screen to see if OS boots
If all you get is same windows mobile screen, remove the battery for some time (about 20 min should be enough) and put it again.
Again, if all you get is same windows mobile screen do a hard reset.
If doesn't solve the problem do a hard reset, but do not press spacebar to reboot after. Instead, do a soft reset with stylus when the device asks you to press spacebar.
Check if you might have the NO GSM Problem
well i cant go pass the 2nd splash screen so what i did was hard reset it. and problems gone. my concern is ive lost a lot of documents because of what happened. so i just wanna ask you guys what could be the problem and the solution to prevent this from happening again.
much respect to all here!
TIA
What do you do just before the problem occur?
best thing to do is hard reset you phone this will reinstall you OS and resolve the problem. You need to old the 2 top soft key and press the reset but with your stylus. This will then bring then take u into the hard reset mode. follow the prompts on ur screen by using your keyboard .
This will work as i have experienced the same problem
kind regards
Ash
Did u happen to
a) disable the bottom tray
or
b) set PIE cache to storage card?
Both tend to cause this, tho not in every case.

Hard resets instead of soft

Hi,
Yesterday, I had to do one of those ubiquitous soft resets we always have to do with Windows Mobile... but instead of getting a soft reset, my trinity totally hard reset itself! (and no, I didn't touch any buttons while pressing the stick in there)
I profited from the occasion of losing some of my data (backup was a couple of weeks ago) to upgrade the ROM. That all went fine until yesterday evening, when I did a soft reset with the stick and got a hard reset AGAIN!
Does anyone know where this can come from? How to fix this annoying problem?!
Thanks!
Daniel

Hi Daniel,
I had the same exact problem with certain Roms...
Just don't know if it can be hardware problem, but try using the original HTC rom for a while to make sure everything's OK.
Best regards
Hi
My trinityis sufferng from the same problem, and it's getting progressively worse. From it originally happening once every few weeks, I can now re-flash and it will hard reset as soon as a day later (usually once i've re-installed everything...)
I've tried lots of different and reportedly stable ROMs, the latest being FlixNOver and an excellent German WWE Manilla 2D one floating around whos name i forget.
I am now assuming my trinity is dying, with a hardware related issue.
What is puzzling is that information previously written to the phone often remains and is acessible after then hard-reset. If this was Windows XP I'd suggest the Hard Drive was was corrupting and Windows was losing it's profile.
Anyone any ideas?

Nike hard reset problem

My GF's phone has a strange fault. After windows crashed she plugged it into the charger and the hard reset screen came up saying this will erase all your personal data etc.
No matter what I do I cannot get rid of this screen. Pressing enter does not complete the hard reset and attempting a hard reset has no effect. Soft reset has no effect either.
The phone has the official HTC wm6.1 update on it but i cannot get it to display exactly what rom's it has unfortunatley.
Has anyone had this problem or know how to fix it?
