I have just gotten an o2 Wizard and find that the Phone application is very slow to load (if it does at all) soft reset after soft reset it won't work . I've reflashed with "MrClean_RUU_WIZARD_224a_AKU23_WWE.zip" but it's still slow. Has anyone seen this before / any advice....?
P.S Other apps are quick to load no probs.....
Thanks
Re-flashing it seems to have worked (used O2 - "Xda_Minis_Upgrade_v2.21.4.101.exe" from the ftp).....
All settings menus are very slow in first-time load after every soft reset. Latter usage is OK.

I don't know why I'm having this problem but at least twice a day I have to soft reset my phone because of a program not closing or opening "hanging" the phone in state where nothing works. I also have to soft reset because of bluetooth problems. Sometimes the phone will tell me that it doesn't have bluetooth hardware or I won't be able to open the bluetooth window to turn it on or off or discoverable. Then I must reset to get it to work. What a pain! These problems are driving me nuts and I don't know what to do about it. I am considering abandoning this phone because of it's unreliability but it has so many features that it's hard to let it go. Please help me!
First of all - don't abandon the phone; this is NOT normal behavior for this PDA/phone and there should be a solution to your problems. I have had this phone (i-mate) for months, and it has always been stable and trustworthy.
Next, it would be helpful for you to post your current ROM information - (Start -> Settings -> System -> Device Information)
Next, list the programs you have installed.
Have you tried Hard Resetting the device (after backing it up) and using it for a while without installing ANY additional software? This will tell you if the base hardware/software is performing correctly. If that works, try installing any additional software ONE AT A TIME and using the device for a while after each one to make sure that one works. Then, if that one is OK, install the next one. This should pinpoint any software that causes the problems.
Let us know the results of your tests.
1. When did you last HardReset? - Sometimes a few hours of work make your life really better! :lol:
2. What's the ROM version? - Possibly you should upgrade.
3. Did you notice that you are using WindowsMobile2003 - usage of internet connection with WindowsXP without a couple of restarts never happened to me, so I don't expect Windows Mobile work with more stability! :wink: Kidding!
Conclusion: don't give up the phone - you just have to make clear what goes wrong! Good luck!
Nope, not normal usage. I've been using my i-mate for 2 weeks without a hard reset now, but just today it hard resetted on me (due to wisbar advance 2.) I'm not sure how wisbar does it, but it always gives me problems w/ it installed.
my observations
I'm a new user of the XDA I, and I find that I haven't had any unexpected hard resets yet (fingers crossed) but that I do need to soft reset at least once per day, usually to get the machine to (re)connect thru ActiveSync...
I only get the dreaded, continious soft reset problem when I install loads of crappy software.
Have you installed any share/freeware latetely.
If so only a hard reset will fix it.
SoftResets are tolerated, HardReset - once upon 2-3 months. If more often or auto - change the ROM. Auto HardReset happened to me twice - always after flashing.
Soft Resets : What is lost on settings ?
Does one loose any settings when a soft reset is done ?
Battery or light off, registry, third party software settings ???
u would not lose any settings unless u soft reset just after changing something or receiving a text message of which the later would disappear when u soft reset.
To say it in clear words : Nothing get lost when you soft reset. But you should wait a bit when you change data (windows needs a moment to write it from ram into rom).
Data gets only lost if you do a hard reset
@lutzs, if your Universal freezes or crashes and you do a soft reset you may lose data - I have n the past when my Exec froze after email downloads over UMTS
uh i'm sorry i couldn't see this aspect, 'cause i have no Universal and i'm not downloading mail, and my Wizard haven't freeze or crashed yet :lol:
Can someone help me... I installed the Helmi wm6 Rom and did not let sprint customization run. The device works fine for several days then it will freeze and i have to do a soft reset. Problem is that after the soft reset i only get to the wm splash screen. i wind up doing a hard reset to recover. I use spd back up to restore my files but its becoming a pain. Is this a known bug? Is there another rom release i should be using instead. The slideout keyboard also seems to have a bug when using to type a document. there is a 1-2 second lag in pressing of keys and letters appearing on screen.
In my experience I have noticed that when active sync is still running on my apache, (or it has only been unplugged from my pc for a few minutes,) and I soft reset or change the battery, it will lock up and only a hard reset will fix it. go to settings> system> memory> running programs and stop active sync before a soft reset. seems to work for me
I used helmi's stock WM6 rom when it first came out, and I was plagued with the green screen hang. I've been using rob mayer's WM6 ROMs for months and no hangs. Go get it:

I have a trinity and until Friday loved it. Suddenly it has started to automatically reboot itself every 2 minutes or so.
I have loaded NO new software or changed any settings for months. But reviewing the drop menu I see 2 SPB software icons have now gone blank. SPB Traveller and SPBWallet. I assume it is a software problem even though have worked fine for 8 months.
I have deleted the software but still have problem. I also still have the two blank icons on menu.
Tried a Hard Reset but cannot reset. Tried a soft reset but will not action the reset button.
Absolutely frustrated as it just loops and even the old Hard Reset is not working. Anyone had similar or heard of a way to fix?

Im having a similar problem with my spv m700 most of the time phone works fine then just reboots for no apparent reason (phone does it even when sat in car holder so cant accidently press a button). sometimes just does it the once other times it reboots 5 or 6 times and others it reboots a couple of times then crashes at the orange screen and has to be reset. mainly seems to do it while running tomtom but that could just be because it runs that most of the time anyway hasnt done it while making a call yet.
phone is running
radio 1.56.70.11
rom ver 6.1.21054
wm6.1 ceos 5.2.21054 classic edition by tomme45i (have tried other os versions but problem remains)
any help ideas would be much appreciated
Do you use bluetoth head set?
Is the software (spb) intaled on main memory or storage card?
no i dont use bluetooth and the software is installed in main memory
left tomtom off today and phone still reboots? so dont think its a tomtom problem also doesnt matter if the phone is pluged in or not still the same
I have an 8525 and have been running CRC's 13.4 ROM fine for several months. Today, a strange problem developed: When I try to open ActiveSync on the device, the program opens but after about 1 second it immediately exits (I am unable to change any settings). Messaging (pocket Outlook) won't even open.
Everything was working fine yesterday, and I didn't install any new programs since then. I will probably do a hard reset to fix things, but I wondered if anyone has a solution that will not involve a hard reset. I looked on the web and XDA forums, but couldn't find anything.
Thank you.
I've started having this problem too, twice in a row, after a hard reset. My Activesync does exactly what you describe.
The first time it did it, I ended up having to do a hard reset and then everything was fine.
Now it's done it again 2 days afterwards... sounds like it's fk-ed...
