I got my atom exec only for a month. One day the clock begins to slow down... losing ~15 sec per minute. Tried several times upgrading to the 0721 ROM but still cannot resolve the problem. Anyone have similar experience? How to correct the problem short of bringing it back for repair? Thanks.
Gee, now that you mentioned it, I noticed that too! my atom exec slows about 5 min. over a day.

Diary of Events:
Sunday: Got the XDA II in the evening, charged it up overnight while setting the timer to turn off charger exactly 8 hours for a full charge(as described in the manual)
Monday: Full charge. Played with everything possible with it. GPRS, e-mail, Icq, Msn, camera, video, phone, sms, mp3. Installed Omega Battery pack 2003 latest version, went to Microsoft Mobile webby, downloaded and installed some powertoys from there.
Tuesday: Battery life is great. Still hovering at 70% +. Backlight set to minimum. Still used it for phone/pda, some photos, icq. Msn on all the way unless i'm home.
Wednesday: Charged it in the morning, battery is at 50% +. Curious my girlfriend did not sms me. used my home phone to call her, she said she did. I tried sms'ing myself. Did not receive. Tried calling my own handphone number from my home phone. Cannot get through. Not even the voice that says "user cannot be reached'. It hangs up.
12pm Noon: Decided to do my 1st reset. O2 startup screen. 10 MINUTES later, still O2 startup screen Left it there while i ate my lunch.
1.30pm noon: Decided to do a hard reset. Read manual, press and hold power button, press reset button with stylus. Did exactly as told, Unit reset, remains there for another half and hour!!!! Pissed!!! Sent it in for servicing after less then 2 days of usage!!!
Anyone else having such problems?
Furthermore, someone quote "The short-life-span of the battery in the XDA2, this is due to the power managment chip that is non-functional in the XDA2, It was said that the chip was there, but it just did not work. The work around is the chip replacement and is not done by any ROM update. Presume they only half-solve the problem as they still face the life-span issue."
Anyone care to comment how true is that?
Hi there,
I made the same experience with the T-Mobile MDAII, only it took about 10 days ;-) When it chrashed I tried to re-flash the ROM which would not work either. Then I tried to flash the radio stack which did work. With a cold reboot I could reanimate the MDA.
Today it was "hanging up" again. I had my desk phone diverted to the mobile phone and what a quiet day it was, until I found out that I wasn't reachable at all. This time a warm restart worked. Next time it happens I will return the MDA.
cheers!
Hi
I had upgraded to i - mate 1.72 wwe rom downloaded from i mate club in the month of July 2004. Every thing worked very fine. Now my i mate has started hanging, some times even hard and cold reboot also stops responding. At this time I have to remove my battery for about 10 sec. and replace i mate hard resets. I have even purchased another battery to check if it is a battery problem, but same things are repeated with the new battery also. Even I have tried updating the I mate phone again the process is shown as complete after 5th stage by PC where as the PPC screen says ‘Radio stack being upgraded Please wait’ Please help me in resolving my prob. I am really missing my XDA II.
Regards

You're not alone, but I don't have a solution. It happened to me twice last week, both times on an airplane, and never before or since. I think mine just doesn't like flying.
On a boat!
Mine kept happening on a boat on Holiday. An aversion to water ??
Interestingly, I have a feeling it has something to do with bad phone signal - not sure, but could be ??
Was the radio in flight mode on the plane?
I noticed that when the reception is bad (and when reception gets started after leaving flight mode) the radio takes up quite some cpu and/or oi resources from the device. Could be combination of that AND a lot of programs running at that time . . . .
Hi there, im wondering if anyone has had a similar problem with their xdaIIi. Ive had it about 3 months, i updated to the latest o2 firmware etc a few weeks back and other than removing the o2 active ui, everything is standard.
Software wise, i havnt installed anything new in the past month or so and can see no reason for the problem, what happens is this:
- when using the phone, i.e starting to write a message, run a game, anything.. it restarts within between 1-2 minutes of use.
- when left alone, i.e just sitting in cradle or on the desk, it restarts every 10-20 minutes on its own.
I have no idea why its doing this, have tried removing the sd card but the problem remains and i dont know what to do short of wiping it and starting again.. any help much apreciated, thanks.
Hi
Does anyone else's exec hang up after 3 minutes on the phone. Mine does it at least 50% of the time and its getting annoying for me and anyone I speak to :?
Thanks

Are you using Power Save, which I think has a default of 2/3 minutes after which it will cause your unit to "suspend".
Yeah I had it on turn off after 3 mins....cant see why that should turn the phone off though.
I've changed it and will see if it works.
Cheers mate

Hi folks, my m600 is behaving rather strangely (at times)
sometimes when switched on it can take 10 minutes to
load in, sometimes when loading a note or a text message
it can take upto 30 seconds.
I tried hard resetting it and formatting the entire thing
but even after this its still doing it. what could it be?
I'm new in all this. But I'll try to help.
That is spv m600 right? From orange network?
How long did you used it? Maybe your problem lies in the registry. Try flashing some other rom ...
