I have had my o2 Mini for a week now and last night tried to active sync with the computer for the first time, it all seemed to go ok and then the phone turned off when i turned it back on i just have the phone and messaging services available to me.
All of the other programs have gone so when you tap on the windows icon top left all that is there is TODAY and COLDINIT nothing else i have tried to hard reset and this has done nothing......So i have searched on here but i most find info about phone totally not working and about flashing rom is this what i need to do?
I also cannot get sync to work anymore, is this a problem i need to take it back to the car phone warehouse and get a new one?
Hoping that someone can help a very stuck newbie.
Nick
All fixed now no problems for a while now i hope

6 month old O2 XDA2i only program loaded is TT5
ROM version 1.10.00 WWE
ROM date 12/24/02
Radio version 1.00.00
Protocol version 1337.39
ExtROM version 1.10.124 WWE
Being used in corporate mode 0506 code
Here's the story... needed to use phone to call an ambulance for my fiance (she smashed her collar bone and now has a titanium plate and pins) 10weeks ago.. batt at 12% turned it on and caught the camera button whilst pressing the phone button. screen went all funny - vertical lines. Soft and Hard reset failed!!! had to fully charge before I could initiate a hard reset.
Some time after that the camera disapeared and media player started when camera button pressed. Camera missing from programs. Battery discharged at an alarming rate, you could watch it go flat!!!
Soft reset same problem
Hard reset and started running in corporate mode. All fine.
TT5 installed and it works fine although the it takes ages to find the GPS and sats compared with TT3. Same cables, gps and XDA, It also 'looses' signal where it didn't with TT3 and that is with two setups different cars. Almost as if the set up has gone deaf.
Camera disapeared again and battery going flat.
Hard reset
Camera goes again, this time I track it down to the windows folder and copy/paste the shortcut to programs.
Works for a bit then goes (battery ok now)
repaste it, it goes again
Hard reset all working fine.
worked well for a few weeks then I got a Jabra BT205.
Paired great, worked with TT5 great, calls great.
Then it stopped working with the phone, no TX/RX audio via BT205 just clicking. Tried soft boot, dropped all the pairings, re paired still no good.
Hard reset and its al back fine, headset ok TT5 ok (still deaf)
THEN I find I can recieve text messages, can reply BUT when I go New Text or click on messages it wont open, screen flashes and does nothing. nothing is shown as running in the memory bit. So I cant initiate a text message.
Hard reset and the same problem with texts, but now it will only get 75% of my address book from the back up. try to active sync to get the rest and it says it has done it but hasn't.
Hard reset again, still same problem with texts but gets all the address book from the backup. NOW it will only active sync as a guest.
I cant get it to do a full named sync.
Should I just take it back under warranty??
If you are going to suggest I do updates then great Ill do em BUT please talk me through them, post working links where I can get them. I just want it to work properly. I haven't got the time to continue to mess around with the thing. I need it to work, be reliable in doing what I want of it. Be a phone, be a camera, run TT5, run word and excel. Then it would be nice if I could be like others on here who have got em working. Have a film or some comedy on the SD card for the times when I have a moment to spare, even install some other software and games.
I want to do that but not continue to waste my time with unreliability, resets and the frustration of not being able to use it when a life is at risk!!
Thanks in advance
ARRGGHHH
Thanks for reading...... please help!!!!!
I have it running, address book ok, TT5 OK, programs run OK, BUT can't active sync as it will only come up as guest on my PC and I still can't initiate the messaging part ie MMS or Text.
I would try running it without any additional software. If it still displays this strange behaviour I would definitely return it for a replacement.
sounds like you have a faulty one to me try upgradeing the rom to the current image and for the gprs setting etc for o2 the a cab file somewhere on here that will install the settings for you do the upgrade and see how that goes if it still plays up then send it back
I would download the latest ROM from the O2 site and flash that and see if there is any improvement.

ohhh
Thanks for that. I hope it's going to sort me out. How long have they been on the site?? Im sure I only checked the other day (but the way time's flying for my that could have been 2 months ago!!!)
ohhhh
well I have only soft reset once since the upgrade!!!! but that was when I was trying to switch between text message and readingthe setting to text the otherhalf
Hi all
I have a (see subject LOL) since a day or 2.
I was playing a game (bejeweled) on my machine when suddenly the game starting to be slow (it happens sometime if I don't reset my device for a few days and then everything is fine after a soft reset, so I decided to soft reset my device.
After that, it restarted and all then stayed on the windows logo (the one just before windows come up).
I waited and waited and waited, nothing. So I decided to hard reset my baby (it's no problem to me since I had not installed any special progs).
Set up OK, install of carrier options OK, set up of M$ exchange OK but THEN, as I was trying to sync my calendar with my exchange server, it stays hanging at "Synchronizing" (ONLY at the calendar section) and can stay like this forever, and when I soft reset, it hangs again on the windows logo. (for the record, if I ONLY sync my contacts, everything is fine).
I tried everything, by that I mean different RADIO, different versions of WM6 (all of them actually. NOTHING helps.
I KNOW for a fact that it goes wrong at the sync of my calender cause I took the problem from zero (that is hard reset, ISP settings and then sync) so I'm sure of where the problem occurs.
I also check the exchange server to make sure my calendar wasn't "too" full, that's not the case.
The only thing I have NOT tried yet is if it goes OK on WM5.
I NEVER had that problem before, just since 2 or 3 days.
Anyone any Idea??
Thnx
This may have absolutely nothing to do with your problem but - a long time ago I read some posts where folks had problems syncing when items in the calendar had notes attached at the pc end - for some reason these notes became corrupted and huge in size when the attempt was made to sync with device. As I say probably not your problem if you do not attach notes to calendar entries.
mike
thnx mikechannon, but indeed I do not have any notes in my calendar, never had AND I do not sync with my PC, only with exchange.Thnx for the tip anyway.
BTW, I just put another ROM on it now (RUU_HER_CINGULAR_2.06.502.3_1.34.00.10_SPL1.04.exe) witch is a WM5 ROM and I have exactly the same problem. After a sync with the exchange server I'm back on the Windows Mobile Splash screen and it's stays there, so it's NOT a WM version related problem.

I have the same problem, which started today. My XDA Exec seemed to be frozen, so I soft reset, now it's stuck on the Windows Mobile splash screen.
I've got data I need to get from the device, so don't want to hard reset (sounds like that wouldn't help anyway).
Can't think what has caused it.
- I upgraded to Radio 1.15 the other day, but it has been working fine.
- I changed my connection to GSM only, 2 days ago to try and stop the Disconnect problems on 3G/GSM, but that has been working OK.
I've tried removing the battery & SIM but no joy.
I'm running Helmi 1.1, and have been for months.
Can anyone help?
Hi all
In the meand time I had my baby sent back to HTC (BTW, they did NOT look for the SuoerCID what so ever, My guarenty is still intact ;-)), they looked at it and sent it back to me. I don't know what they've done but the problem is still here.
I tried (just to be shure) to sync with my desktop and THAT works fine so I would think it's a server related thing.
However, I deleted a lot of things on the server but the problem remain so now I don't sync with the server.
Today I will install the new Black V2.0 and try it again.
I'll let u guys know.

I had problems getting my tytn to sync with my SBS running exchange 2003 SP2. It was due to SP2 adding HTTP compression which screwed syncing to some mobile devices. Sometimes i would get error 0x8503001A and sometimes it would just lock up! Check out this link for a fix, well, it fixed my problems anyway

May also be worth having a look at http://www.pocketpcfaq.com/faqs/activesync/exchange_errors.php for more error code info. I know you dont get an arror code, but something may shed some light for you!
@JamesAub
Thnx m8 for ur reply but I'm using the free mail2web exchange server witch use do be fine until (Iguess) too many people started to use it LOL. Then it stopped working.
I just install Black 2.0 and tried right away, the prob is still here so I'm 99,99% sure that the prob is on the server side.
I'll try to make a new account to see what happens.

I have a support message from mail2web, that there server experienced some delay problems. I changed my mail2web exchange to my work exchange server and all problems dissapeared.
Today I checked the mail2web box again and it seems to be working for now.
Good luck!
Well just to say how gooooooood the Black V2.0 is, I'm able now to reset my device when the exchange server hangs and it does NOT stay on the windows splash anymore. The problem is however still not resolved. I sync slowly the one after the other and I'm able to sync my contacts fully and see them. When it gets to my calender, it is syncked BUT when I want to open my calendar I just get the wheel forever. At least I konw now I can test without having to hard reset.
BLACK EDITION V2.0 ROCKS! THE BEST. you can pass the word ;-)
Hi all,
In need of some help here... :-( Got my replacement Uni all setup back how I like it and my boss finally signs off the paperwork to get Blackberry enabled on my phone. O2 eventually got it all setup and I start to receive email, however am having some problems.
1. If I turn the PDA off (or it turns itself off as battery saving) then Blackberry seems to quit and won't restart without a soft reset. Obviously not very useful
2. When Blackberry is running it doesn't display any notifications for other events (such as the alarm clock, new text messages, calendar notifications etc) which means I can't cancel them so when I soft reset my phone I get 5 minutes odd of the phone ringing, and MemMaid doesn't seem to be able to get rid of them
3. Not a Blackberry issue but my phone just completely stops working at 72% battery life, bearing in mind this is a replacement provided by O2 and is supposedly brand new do I need to do anything likefully discharge the battery in boot mode or something like that.
I remember reading something but browsing the forum over GPRS is a bit painful so please if someone knows the right thread if you could reply to this would really appreciate it, won't be back near a proper net connection for about 6 days so stuck with GPRS for the moment (not got a 3G enabled SIM yet, meant to have but O2 sent one which wasn't and are now taking an age to sort it out).
Thanks

Hi guys.
A friend of mine just phoned me, he sounded desperate.
Yesterday we upgraded the TT6 to 7, apparently everything went ok (he used it yesterday afternoon and this morning).
This morning he tried to sync with the laptop interrupting the process (if i 've understood what he told me via phone).
Now the phone has stopped working like a pda, it only works as phone.
Trying to explain (i still have not seen the device), it can make calls, but programs don't start.
He sees the wm panel, can scroll the menus, but nothing happens if he taps the icons.
He tried soft reset, not working.
Since he is coming to me, hoping to find a solution, and since i don't owe a trinity but a tytn, is there any advice you can give me to help my friend (known issue or bug)?
Thanx in advance
Installed on device or on memorycard? try uninstall and softreset, look what happens.
my handset seems to be plagued with problems since flashing new official ROM. When i try to start Outlook calender i get the message telling me there is no program memory available. Checking the Task manager and there is nothing running. I also have other problems such as incoming calls divert to my voicemail even though i full reception, handset freezes. Pressing a key to wake the screen results in the buttons lighting up but the screen not coming on... only thing to do is soft reset to get it working again. Still waiting for HTC support to come back to me on this. This must be the most unreliable HTC ever. Ive been using HTC devices for 5 or 6 years. They all seem to have there quirks but something that i could live with. This just doesnt perform basic tasks like receiving phone calls..thank god the messaging seems to have been sorted out now though. Is anyone else experiencing these issues or am i on my own here.
If you are still running the stock rom, I would consider getting it replaced, if you have flashed a new rom, then consider going back to the original rom and trying again.
edit - just read the bit about updating - i'd try reverting to teh original, and then try the update again. If it still persists, try getting it replaced.
Rom Downgrade
Thanks. I understand that its not possible to revert to the original ROM once this has been upgraded. The original ROM gave me problems with the sms and also the calls diverting to the voicemail. Im not sure the new rom is the problem here but it certainly seems worse since updating. I'd agree that the phone certainly seems to have faults, maybe HTC will take it for repair. I was interested to see if anyone else experienced these issues to try to see if its a hardware problem or just bugs in the software
THere is no problen downgrading, find your stock rom, extract the RUU_Signed.nbh file, copy it to your sd card, rename it leoimg.nbh, reboot the phone with down volume pressed, it will find teh file and downgrade to how the phone was when you got it.
Just make sure you get the right stock rom.
same problem
i have the same problem on my hd2. running orginal 1,66,409,1 rom(that came with the phone).
only thing i have installed is SPB shell and the dytty(?) 3d driver.
exiting mobile shell does not help. haven`t tried uninstalling the shell.
I have 200MB avbl memory so dont think that is the problem.
did it help downgrading or did they take to repair?
no one has a fix here?
I had the same problem with my new HD2. I emailed HTC and was told to uninstall and reinstall Activesync. It seems to have worked- I haven't had this error message for a week now.
active sync on the unit? I did a hard reset, worked after that.
I am having the same problem.
Opening outlook calender gives me the error message "no program memory etc..."
Does this problem lead to activesync not working on the phone itself? Mine does.
I called HTC they told me to hard reset. This is not the first time it happened and I believe its not the last.. Since I bought this a month ago, I have Hard reseted countless times...
I uninstalled and reinstalled Activesync on my computer- the HTC tech help seems to think there was a problem when I downloaded/ installed Activesync initially. I was Activesync'ing with my previous phone and it was ok so I'm not sure why there was problem with the Leo.
When I had the problem- I hard resetted the Leo countless times. After uninstalling/ reinstalling Activesync on my computer, the problem seemed to have resolved. It's been about 2 weeks now and all is running smoothly.
FYI, here is the email from HTC:
Regarding your concern, there could have been a glitch during the download that’s why this happened. Uninstalling and reinstalling the ActiveSync software usually resolves the issue. Always make sure that when you do the download and installation of the software, the handset is not connected to the computer. Thank you for contacting HTC. Please feel free to contact us again if you have any future questions
