Power on problem!! very annoying. Please HELP

when i first got my mda II it worked fine, but after an hour of so, after i turned it off, it wouldnt turn on again. after fiddling with it, i got it to turn on again by pressing the call button, then really quick after pressing the on button, but that only works sometimes. the only sure bet to turning it on again is a soft reset, which is VERY inconvenient... it anyone has any idea whats going on, PLEASE help me
thanks alot

Power on problem!! MDA II after upgrade to wm2003se
Hi,
I've got the same problem. I bought MDA II with wm2003. Fiew days after I installed wm2005 but it was unstable and many programs didn't working correctly so I downgraded it to wm2003se. Everything looks quite ok except the problem with power on with no activity (sometimes it srarts with power_on+red_call pressed at the same time but after that green led no blinking).
Now this is:
ROM version: 2.06.00WWE
ROM date: 06/14/04
Radio version: 1.18.00
Protocol version: 1337.38
ExtROM version: 1.72.165
Is there any idea to resolve this problem?
Best regards,
Slawek

Wizard freezing at startup screen

The problem appeared today morning, while listening music using tcmp. the sound stopped suddenly, and standard animated cursor appeared over tcmp screen. i closed tcmp, and the rest of the system seemed fine, i was able to mute the phone and entered my work place. After a while i noticed the screen is off and i can not turn it on using pwr button, although green led kept blinking so the phone was operating. after a soft reset it would not go over splash screen showing IPL, SPL (which are: IPL: 1.06, SPL 1.06, GSM: 01.12.10, OS 1.6.2.4).
I've tried multiple times and still the same, only difference is that sometimes I can see the cursor and sometimes not. I can get to rgb screen and "press send to restore" as well, but that's it. I can't remember whether previously pressing a key illuminated a screen and keys, but now it doesn't. I used to have problems with screen not going black on idle since few days, but that's it. What could have happened? And if the only solution is hard reset, please tell me, could I somehow backup my contacts now? I don't have activesync here so I have to wait till I finish my work to find out..
please help anyone...
rom version : 1.6.2.4 WWE,
date : 11/15/05
radio : 01.12.10
protocol : 4.0.13.23
extrom : 1.6.2.105

That's spooky. My MDA has the same versions of IPL, SPL, GSM and OS, and this morning started misbehaving.
What's this rgb screen you can get to with the "press send to restore" option?
How do I do a hard reset (I have a backup on SD) without being able to get to the Start>Settings>System>Clear storage control panel option?

Rgb screen is a bootloader which i enter by holding cam+voicedial+commmanager butons while softreseting wizard. the other screen i mentioned i enter holding cam and voice buttons, and then pres reset. that screen says 'pres send to restore factory defaults any other key to quit' and it does hard reset if you press green button here...
my problem seems to be over for now, i managed to turn the phone on while i plugged it into a wall charger (believe me, the battery was not a problem - i don't know for how long it's ok now, but at least i made contacts backup now so that i'm ok with a hard reste if i have to...

You both have old roms and could do with upgrading them to aku2 roms. (your device will be more stable) i.e. the first number of the rom will be 2. Please dont ask me to go through how to flash a rom because there are hundreds of posts on the same topic and read the wiki - shortcut top left of the screen. You need to identify whether your device is g3 or g4 but i suspect you both have g3 chips.
Now read & read esp the wizard upgrading forum and wiki and then when you feel confident - flash your device.

mu chipset is g3 based on my ipl/spl info... i wouldn't dare to ask anyone to explain the process of flashing, i'm not that crazy. only thing i'd dare, would be to advice me what rom should i use... or a way to determine this, since i know it can't be just any rom...

Looking at your rom numbers i gather you have a t-mobile vario - is it uk or usa rom or polish - i see you live in poland.
there latest uk rom is here ftp://[email protected]/Wi...Prodigy_2210206_109_21911_TMO_UK_WWE_Ship.exe
us rom ftp://[email protected]/Wizard/Roms/Tmobile/RUU_Prodigy_2170702_217_20710_TMO_US.exe

Its prob best you sim unlock and cid unlock before you flash in case you change to a non-tmobile rom inc one of the cooked roms.
see here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=249474
and read dr puttingham's tutorial http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=285435
and now i have given you more than enough hints
p.s. by the way remember to write down your gprs settings and mms settings to use with your new rom.

thats right, its tmobile vario, uk one. it is sim unlocked, i'm not sure about cid but it should not be a problem. thanks for the hints, it really seems more then enough;] i'll probably have to use theese, as soon i have a spare evening...
you don't have to explain me the importance of gprs settings - forcing my wiz to work in uk's o2, then in polish plusgsm, then loosing settings and doing it again finally got me into a habbit of backing every settings up ;]
and last but not least, guys, yesterday i did my first HR ;] ...

qtek 9000 suddenly turns off

after upgrading my universal's rom to Jwrightmcps Crossbow ROM Update 2.12.08 WWE, my universal suddenly turns off very often.

has anyone an idea how to fix this?

I had excactly the same. Bought a new battery, and everything was solved. it may help..

WM 6.1 hangs when pressing L on keyboard

Hello,
Since recently I have a weird problem. It started with typing a SMS via the keyboard. When I hit the letter L the device became inresponsive. I softresetted my Wizard and tried again. Same thing.
I then used my virtualkeyboard instead. Same thing. So it doesn't appear to be a hardware issue.
I have reinstalled Windows via a Hard Reset, and it happened again.
This is very annoying since I have to think of text without using the letter L.
Now the annoying part is that since today it is also with the letter A sometimes.
Anyone got any ideas ?
I am using a Windows Mobile 6.1.0.0 ROM NL JvdSpank
Rom date 1/16/08
radioversion 02.71.11
Protocolversion 4.1.13.21
IPL 2.21.0001

Same Problem with "d"
Hi there,
i've got the same problem with "d". I'll try to fix this by going back to the original rom and then flash my actual rom again.

Does anyone else have an idea ? It is really annoying.

Ok, extra symptom. It still happens when pressing L or A, but not all the time.
And apparantly it's NOT a complete freeze, I managed to get in the Taskmanager where I found that the SMS application goes into a 100% cpu utilisation, eventually rendering the system unoperable.

SPV acting strangely

My SPV3100 had the No GSM message and got stuck on the Windows Mobile screen a few weeks ago. Tried HR, levaing the battery out etc etc etc but nothing worked.
I was ready to chuck it away, but after about a month of reading as much as I could about the Hermes on this forum I managed to get the phone working again by loading a different radio.
I then loaded HardSPL v7, and flashed the rom/radio using the current version on the Orange UK website.
It worked fine for a while, but now some strange things are happening;
- Call doesn't appear to end when I press the red hang-up button (although the call is actually disconnected)
- Phone freezes and buttons/touch screen will not respond
- Occasionally hangs on the Windows Mobile screen
- Occasionally get No GSM message
- Occasionally get Radio: None, GSM: None messages
- Outgoing call fails on first attempt, then phone loses network, searches, finds it and then call connects (in an area where I know reception is usually great)
- Battery dies in about 12hrs, even when sitting in standy and not being used.
These things happen at different times and independently of each other
Current stats of the phone:
IPL-1.04
SPL-2.10.Olipro
ROM version 2.11.61.3
Radio Version 1.38.00.01
Protocol version 32.71.7020.12H
Apart from updating the rom, I have also tried HR and the Activesync tip
Is there a better rom/radio version that I could try (I'm on Orange UK) or is this sounding more like a hardware issue?
Thanks in advance

If no-one can help with the problems i have listed, then could someone point me in the right direction of a decent radio/rom version?
Thanks

update with an official orange rom, then flash any cooked rom. I had a similar problem on one of my hermes and found if you use the official upgrade to flash first it solves the problem also state what the rom was that you flashed

Hi,
I did flash the official Orange rom already (downloaded it from the Orange website), and am having the problems listed
Current stats of the phone:
IPL-1.04
SPL-2.10.Olipro
ROM version 2.11.61.3
Radio Version 1.38.00.01
Protocol version 32.71.7020.12H
Do you think it didn't flash properly (bad sectors etc)?

Only way to find out is to check.....
If you're not sure, re-install the ROM.
