I'm starting to freak out a little - everything was fine, and then about an hour ago, I pulled my M600 out and tuned it on - to my surprise, it went though the boot process as if it had been soft reset.
Then when it got to the blue Windows Mobile screen, it seemed to be loading (with the 4 coloured circle) and then it pinged and stayed there.
I took the SD card out and tried again. Same thing. then I tried a hard reset. Same thing. This is when I started getting worried.
Has anyone else experienced this? My phone isn't on contract, so it's not covered by insurance. Is there any way I can get it repaired?
**Update** May be a dodgy battery. So there was no real need for a hard reset, and I've lost all my stuff. Ah well, I'm happy that my phone works.
Can you elaborate more on this?
I have seen this problem several times on my S200 and the only way out is to hard reset the device. That's why I always keep my backups updated as often as possible.
But even then, there are several things that do not restore, like contacts, appointments and sme today plugin settings.
Any ideas?
I've just had an Imate Jamin do this - the only difference bing that it doesn't get past the HTC splash screen so isn't getting as far as yours. Tried everything I can think of to no avail. It is now being sent back to Imate for repair.
In your case you might be able to try reflashing the device from an SD card. I could still get the Jamin into bootloader, yours might be the same. However for me as it is only a month old it is still covered by warranty.

Hi all
In the last 10 days I had 3 random hard reset's on my qtek 2020.
Rom Version is 1.72.00WWE ,upgrade was done a couple of months ago.
The last reset happened today, and on the other 2 the behavior was the same, phone was just sitting, tried to use it, main screen came up...wouldnt respond to anything, tapping on the screen or pressing any buttons, just plain old stuck on the main screen. Tried a soft reset, image just get's all confused, could still see the today screen, backlight would go off and wouldnt move anywhere, tried soft reset again, wouldnt do anything.
Just knowing what was gonna happen....took batery out, put it back in...and that's it, everything is gone again. since my last forced hard reset no other software was installed besides the basic one's.
What should I do to troubleshoot / solve this? any tought's?
Thanks for any advice you may have.
found this:
The current build of XDA II ROM contains a bug that can cause a hard-reset when a program reads data from a storage card. Due to the bug in ROM, accessing storage cards may cause complete data loss on XDA2 compatible devices. More often it happens with programs that access a storage card in a timer (like Spb Pocket Plus). There are no known solutions for this problem so we have had to disable the showing storage cards indicators on XDA II. We'll enable this feature when HTC fixes this bug in their ROM.

could it be related? today when it happened i had it sitting on my desk playing mp3 from the storage card with the media player....

either way...im going back to the store and try for a replacement...or an upgrade to the 9090....
thanks :?
Right i need some help, big style.
Had me phone now for nearly a couple of months and it's been fine. Then today it all went wrong. Firstly the phone just did'nt work no signal or anything. Tried everything to fix but nothing seemed to work. So hard reset. Now the phone boots up and goes thru setup etc.. (but no 02 option??) gets to my today screen but when I choose anything i get a msg saying did i want to run unknown program etc.. choose yes/no. I have chosen all the combinations to get it to work but the phone sometimes freezes so i have to soft reset to get going but then I'm back to square one. I've downloaded the backup o2 rom but when i run it i get an error saying it cannot create a folder??? So at the moment i can use the phone sometimes but sometimes it freezes up 9/10 i cant sync with comp.
Before you ask I only have tomtom installed and afew themes, and the xda worked fine before hand.
Any ideas please would be a great help. If not I'll be straight on the phone to o2 to get a replacement.
cheers
screen shot of the error msg i get
screen shot of the error msg i get
Right getting really annoyed now with my phone :evil:
managed to get it working again after downloading the o2 rom and re-flashing. Since i started this thread i have re-flashed rom about 3 times!!!! My phone just stops working. No network signal or anything!!! All the problems started after i install wisbar, phones never been the same since. stoped using wisbar and started pocket plus. phone worked fine until i soft reset cus it frooze. when it restarted nothingworked. I'm just about to flash again for the 4th time. Only gonna install tomtom and eten dialer and afew games thats it. I'll install in basic mode but wont delete any o2 files as normally do. If it goes again after this it's going back to o2.
cheers
Well, simply send it back for warranty repair, what's the problem? These things happen, I'm used to that... had to bring my Nokia 6600 back 2 times during warranty year... :?
does it damaged the phone if your constantly re-flashing the rom?
Sorry to keep posting but is there an anti-virus software or something cus i think there must be something on my xda cus even after flashing the phones still not 100%
cheers
Keep in mind, by the way, that flashing your rom with any ROM other than one provided to you by your provider is grounds for voiding your warranty
yeah I know i just thought that may fix whatever problem there is. I think i've just got a dud mini s. Worked fine for a month but now it's gone crazy. I think re-flashing with the o2 rom 5 times and still no joy means the phone will go back.
I'll ring o2 first thing in the morning.
cheers
Guys I recently purchased a brand new SPV M600 from ebay and when I say its new, trust me because it was completely sealed and no marks/scratches on the M600 plus all the wires/leads were sealed etc, and he even sent me the invoice from Orange stating the date of purchase, accidentally I think as it contained his home address and telephone number!
Now when I first turned it on and charged the battery etc, I had a little play with it and it all seemed fine. I took it to work with me that day and at work it started to act strange.
First it started by soft resetting itself while I was in the SETTINGS window just tweaking all the bits and bobs to my liking. Anyway it started up again and this time it seemed ok. I tried opening all the menus etc as I had done before but it didnt soft reset again which was a little relief!
It worked fine for the next 10-15 mins after which I put it away and started doing some work which is what I should've been doing in the first place!
I got home in the evening and sat in from of my PC and turned on the PPC and this time it started at the Splash Screen instead of coming out of stand by! Weird as I didnt reset the device and its on Button Lock so it couldn't have happened by accident whilst being in my pocket!
The only problem was though, this time it stayed in the splash screen and wouldnt go past that! I soft reset it again but still no luck!
So I then went for the kill and did a hard reset, not that I lost anything as I didnt have any information on there. After the hard reset, it goes past the splash screen on to the blue nice looking Windows 2005 screen but it stays stuck there!
Did a hard reset again and this time it worked but it crashed when it was installing the customisation tools! It needed a soft reset again! After that it seemed to work ok... only for a little while before it started all over again!
Now this was the original Orange Rom and I have no idea which one it was and I didnt care because it had to go!
I came here and found that our friend Jester was upto his old tricks again and had released a modified version of the Qtek Rom, so I went for it and installed it without any problems (except for his very original spash screen which scared the hell out of my little sister and I didnt find it very comforting either but soon had it changed with Jester's HTC Splash screen).
But unfortunately the problem still remains and the same thing keeps happening. It soft resets itself once in a while and when I do a hard reset it gets stuck in either the Splash Screen or at the next screen which is the Windows 2005 blue screen.
Its like trial and error really, when you guys want to hard reset your prophet all you have to do is do it once, but I have to keep trying at least 2-3 times.
In some cases I need to do a hard reset and then a soft reset soon after when it gets stuck in the Windows 2005 blue screen! And even then its not over because when it gets to the installation of the customisation software, theres a good chance it'll crash there and will need a soft reset!
I tried to install the original Qtek Rom, the one which Jester modified a little but it wouldnt work and I'm guessing I only have the CID lock to thank for that! Mines a G4
Any idea guys? I'm totally screwed here as I cant send it back to the guy I bought it from because I have changed the Rom and thats not good because he cant send it back to Orange to get a replacement! I wish I hadnt changed the Rom and just sent it back to him but I thought it was a software issue.
I'm not convinced its a software issue anymore though!
If you made it this far then I apologise for making this post too long (was longer but I had to to edit out like 1/4), and bloody hell is that the time!
Anything from anyone would be much appreciated.
All the best.
My friend you should try to format your phone and install new operating System...Similar problem happened to me (mine just freezed and I had to reset it) so the new OS is the solution of your problem...So when you do that,tell us if everything is ok..And one more thing---This little mobile device is THE BEST you'll ever get for that amount of money-so keep it and take care my friend...
Greetings!
Alix, thanks for your post. I'm not too sure about that because like I said, it came with the original Orange Rom and even then it was like this, and after upgrading to the latest Qtek Rom, the problem still continues. So somehow I dont think its the software. I mean I hope it is the software as thats an easy fix if I can somehow get my CID unlocked and right now thats not possible on G4 Roms, unless I'm wrong and falling behind?
I have a feeling its the hardware and if it is then I'm screwed!
Thanks for your reply and hope to hear from others soon.
Have you tried to replace the battery? some times the battery causes this kind of behavior when its not supplying enough power to the phone.
try to HR with the phone connected to a wall charger (not to pc) and see how it goes.
if it reboots OK, so probably its a battery issue.
Shayd that was good thinking and I tried it right away but unfortunately it wasnt the case. It still needed 3 tries... one hard reset followed by two soft resets before it went past the Splash Screen.
I've just about had enough with this thing!
Thanks nonetheless.

I received my new P3600 last night and played around with it a little. I installed quite a few apps on to the storage card.
Now, what happens is that when I soft reset the device, it keeps on freezing at the green page saying (Windows Mobile - Direct Push Technology). last night I have seen the little spinning thing, now I dont even see this anymore.
Does anyone have the same problem? I am about to return to the device to the seller but want to make sure that really is a device problem rather then anything else.
Any experience with this?
take the manual or use the search for hard reset

well, I keep resetting and eventually the device does start up (out of 10 resets, it works 3 times).
I am wondering though if i should return this one asap. I have had a few devices over the years but never seen a problem like this.
Is resetting a known problem for P3600's?
The error was not the device but one of the applications, I installed.
Glad you're sorted!
Which app was it- as a warning for other users to avoid?

Mine has just done it now. Apparently it is usually an application on the device that is causing problems. I would guess something along the lines of a today plug in or similar.
Trinity Rox
I've had my trinity now for about 2 months.
I just did a hard reset using the clear storage option on a WM6 rom I installed. I ran the "miniSD HC v3.1.zip" fix but my 512 card just vanished on boot up. Came back and saw the card, No problems. A word of warning before you start toying with your new Phone. put "PPCPimBackup" on your storage card and backup all your contacts etc. This app is a life saver.
Hello,
I have the same problem.
What to do?
just boght the p3600 and after using it 2 days i cant restart it.
its stuck whene the screen shows Windows mobile detect push technology.
what to do?
i have WM 5
As weird as it may sound, my prophet is not loading up successfully since this morning. It was working well until last night and for no reason seems to have lost it's way.
I see the Splash screen with the IPL / SPL etc. information and then it proceeds into the blue Windows Mobile Screen (Windows loading screen) and doesn't get any further.
Has anyone faced a similar problem earlier and have a resolution to it. I do not want to Hard Reset my device at the moment.
I had this problem last time but it worked after n soft resets. I'm sure today I have far exceeded that number n in doing a soft reset on my device. Any help is appreciated.
Thanks,
Umesh.

Feasibility of a probable solution
Read this solution on another forum and thought of bringing it up for discussion here.
It said that these PDA phones have backup power source probably as a battery / capacitor to store ROM data in absence of the main battery. In case of situations like mine where the boot sequence is probably hitting a deadlock or some other problem , it might work to drain the back up battery / capacitor completely.
This might force the PDA to look for a fresh boot sequence or default.
Is this a possibility ? Do the senior members / experts here believe or know anything about this. I feel it's worth a discussion, if so.
Thanks,
Umesh.
The probable solution!!!
Hi
I had almost the same problem and I guess you maight have done the same mistake.Have you newly installed any weather forcasting programs which install some plugins into your TODAY SCREEN?If yes,it is the one which is responsible for your failure.(Many of plugin installers in today screen may cause the sme problem)
Hope you can succeed with resolving it.
puzzled
Have you tried start up minus the SD card...?

I did install the HTC Home Plugin but I'm also sure that did not cause the problem cause I had it running great for about 3 weeks now. The last software I tried installing on my device was Merriam-Websters pocket pc dictionary. It had some flash card feature which ran at start up and to my surprise the morning (without restart) before my cell went into the struggling mode. But unless it reloads itself, I cannot do anything about any of the softwares.
How did you resolve the same problem with your device. Did you also have to do hard reset ?

I have tried with and without the SD Card - that had got my prophet working last time I had this problem but unfortunately, this time not. I even tried pulling it off at different intervals while the cell is stuck in the load mode, but to no luck.
You'd better to...

Hi
Actually,I installed a POCKET WEATHER, a weather forecasting program which installs some plugins on today sceern.Then my problems with the device(same as your)started to appear.I waited for 2 or three days,but finally I found the solution in removing it from my device.Once I deleted it,my device returned back to its great condition that it had before.I guess, you should ignore and put away those programs which leave a trace in today screen.Don't ask me why(Cause I don't know that much!!! )but I heard about some subsequent problems with your rom's cash, or something.You'd better removing them and I hope they will help you to solve the problem.
I did not have any luck and had to hard reset my device. I had not done it even once since I brought this handset about a year ago and am only glad to have done this now. Just realised how slow my device was working with all the software installs and uninstalls I had experimented with it over the year.
I did loose some data - but in the end a fair trade off.
