Intermittant Sending SMS problem

Hi,
Every now and then when I try to send an SMS from my XDA2 I press the send button in the top left corner and all that happens is that the cursor jumps to the end of the "to" field. Nothing else?
In order to be able to send an SMS once in this stat I have to turn off and turn back on the phone part and then everything works fine. It's only infrequently but when it happens it's quite annying.
This is my second XDA2 and both were running the 1.60.00WWE Rom with 1.10.00 Radio and both suffered from the problem.
Has anybody got any ideas?
Thanks,

@ads_green,
although I can´t help you out here, I still can confirm that bug on my machine
My machine:
Vodafone Personal Assistant (Qtek 2020)
ROM-Version 1.66.01GER
ROM-Date 02/23/04
Radio-Version 1.10.00
Protokoll-Version 1337.18
ExtRom-Version 1.66.143
Software installed:
Adobe Acrobat
Funny Snake TKCreater
Mobile-Banking
PocktZenPhone
PocketWeather
Total Commander
WisBar Advanced
VITO Voice Dialer
I see that we both use the same radio version.
Anybody else can confirm that bug ?

SMS problem
I can confirm the same problem you have but I noticed the following:
When I turn on the phone from a soft reset and after entering the
PIN for the telco network, the "G" icon (GPRS) briefly pops up
and beep sound is heard. This is normal
Occasionally this "G" icon comes up again and beep is heard for no reason.
When this happen, then I cannot send SMS like you mentioned.
Receiving SMS is OK. Making and receiving calls is OK also.
Also at this time
START--->SETTINGS---->PHONE cannot be accessed.
Nothing happens when clicked.
The only way to get out is to SOFT RESET.
However one time I tried to investigate further and check the processes
and applications, open/closing other software, etc. the system
went into a HARD REST automatically.
I suspect the problem is due to the phone settings software part.
It could also be a SIM card problem or a loose contact with SIM card.
I also have the same ROM.
Anyone has any ideas?

I have the exact same problem recently and that 'G' icon keeps appearing, i find that if i turn my phone onto Flight mode then back to normal, it resolves this for a while but doesnt stop it happening!

At times Backlight doesnt light up again - why?

Perhaps someone has an explanation why my backlight doesnt light up again when a button is pressed?
From time to time, the backlight goes dark and even though I am pressing buttons, screen, power button, etc, the backlight doesnt come back on. I have to search for the backlight adjuster (in the dark) in order to switch the light back on.
I have wisbar advanced and SpbPocketPlus installed - might that effect this somehow??
Thanks for any advice!

i have exactly the same problem and don´t know a solution. ;-(
Wisbar Advance 2.6.0.1 is installed, SpbPocketPlus not.
I think it comes more often if i use the camera, but it is not reproduceable...

I've never had this problem before, I dont have wisbar installed.

You may be doing a press and hold function on your device. Quick press of the power turns it off, a long press turns off the backlight. the only way to turn it back on is to long press the power button.
also you have settings that turns the back light screen off, which may be affecting this.

This problem used to occur on the O2 XDA2i ALL THE TIME!
Just my 2 cents. Sorry, not very helpful, but defo a problem we've seen before. You hvae to go into settings to start the backlight back up.

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
It hasnt happened lately (actually ever I posted this thread strangely enough) but its quite embarrassing when you have to find your way through a dark screen.
I put a large symbol of the brightness adjuster in one corner (using SpbPocketPlus), so I only have to find that symbol rather then start --> settings --> etc..... its not a cure but it makes it easier switching it back on.
If anyone has a remedy for this problem, please share...

Not sure why this happens, but I fixed it using...

This app - run on your prophet, and all is back to normal. Keep a copy on your SD card...
--Tosh

didn't help
I tried and still use the neo backlight fix. But this fix is only for forcing via startup a longer measured time for the light to stay on.
I too have suffered with the problem of the backlight not coming on every now and again after starting up the prophet. I've had this problem on numerous roms too which is interesting. What more interesting is that even in the days of my owning a Blue Angel (Orange M2000, MDA) I STILL remember having this intermittent problem with the light not always coming on. Only way I fixed it was to simply soft reset the device. Whenever I did that and when I do it now, it stops it happening for week or so at least.
I still use the neo back light fix too as my phone has the quick light turn off problem without it. Neo certainly created a good fix no mistaking.
All the best

i had the same problem...just put the same value to the standby and backlight ...( both 3 mins on mine)...and never happened again....i think it helps...

I have a strange backlight & power-off problem on my Qtek S200:
When the backlight is switched on and I press the Power button shortly to switch it to sleep mode, the screen gets blank but the backlight does not go off.
So now I wait first when the backlight timer goes off before switching the device to sleep mode manually.
Another problem:
When the power settings is set to switch the device off automatically, it reboots when the timer goes off. So my solution is to disable the auto power-off feature.
How to fix this to the original behaviour ?
I tried the neo_backlight_fix and set the backlight timeout to the same value as the standby timeout, but with no avail.
My Qtek S200 has still the original old ROM (G4 model) and Windows Mobile 5.0:
ROM version info:
IPL: 2.10.001
SPL: 2.10.001
GSM: 02.07.20
OS: 2.10.7.25
Please help me to solve the problem.
Maybe I messed up a lot and the only solution is to install a newer ROM which is available since some time at qtek.nl.
Thanks in advance.

Another of my digitizer problem ^^

Yhea! i'm here for the second time asking something about the digitizer. Now the problem is:
I've the digitizer disconnected and i've experienced (last time) that part of the front buttons don't work. Not important.. they're well replicated except for the red phone but it's another problem. I've jet ordered and payed a new digitizer and i'm waiting for it. The real problem is that now i can't use my phone because ita was going all well (without buttons) but modifying the start plugin by the schap's registry editor my vpa freeze on the splash screen. I've made a hard-reset and (as indicated somewhere) with the pone stopped on the screen "tap enywhere to start your wm bla bla bla" i've connected it via usb and deleted the link "c:\windows\autostart\welcome.ink" or something similar. I've bypassed the welcome procedure but now after boot my wm freeze with a strange screen situation.. i can see the top bar but the rest of the screen is occuped by the splash screen.. like it'is without screen refresh.
Is it possible that the welcome.exe adding useful information to registry that let the phone working well? May I insert them by hand with an editor launched on my pc with the pda connected? or my tytn is definitively gone?
The phone does not respond to any button except the power button (for standby and power off with the message window fully represented) and the button on the left that (if hold) start the recording note software as shap's default.
Tell me what you think and thank you!
Gianmarco

Keys stop responding and ends up with a white screen !!!!

Guys
Im a new comer to this forum and its really fantastic to read all posts.....Now, down to the question:
I am using a JASJAM and the details are:
ROM version: Schap's 4.22
ROM date: 10/3/07
Radio Version: 1.43.00.00
Protocol Version: 32.76.7020.19H
ExtROM version: 4.22.20071209
I am using Windows MObile 6 [CE OS 5.2.1948(Build 18548.0.7.0)]
Whenever i use my Herms, for example, if i go to contacts, i scroll down the contacts using my down navigation key, all of a sudden, it stops responding. Then, I have to continue to scroll down using the Jog wheel. After scrolling down using the wheel, if i use the down navigation key, the screen becomes completely white. I then have to just push the power button into sleep mode. and then when i return back, the screen is seen as normal.
What is the solution to avoid this? This started happening once i enabled the 3G dialer option. Now, even if I disable this option, this continues to happen quite frequently.
PLEASE HELP !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I just did this fix for my WHITE screen problem.
It worked 100%

phone blanks on rom 1.19 WWE

I am on rom 1.19 WWE
Whenever I start a phone call, the screen blanks (becomes black) but the phone call can continue. I have to press the power button twice to "resuscitate" my device.
Is this normal? If not are there any steps to solve it?
Of course I set the power settings to keep the device ON at least for 5 minutes both on batteries and on charger.
Backlight question:
I cannot see the backlight settings, which in my former device (kaiser) where under power settings area. Is this normal?
Thanks and waiting
Saulo866

it's normal. with the screen blacked-out (off) you won't accidentally launch a program

dear Cortez
Thanks for your message
1.
But why this (screen blanking) never happened on my former Kaiser, Athena, Dopod, Tytn, etc?
2.
Is it possible to cancel this function? In fact I wish to monitor the call details, timing, or even do some other actions, while calling, like activate conference mode, etc.
How to disable this so-called "proximity-feature" ?
Thanks
Saulo866

Ehm push the on/off button. There is also a tweak for it. Use search or read the topics here
