After owning it for 5 month, I got rid of my Qtek 9100, it turned out a piece of junk..
First the Mail and Internet Explorer keys peeled off, then the gray paint on the sides peeled off, then the keyboard became loose, then the stylus began to fell off by itself...
I don't know what my next PPC will be, I am looking into something more rigid now.

Blasphemy...... and in a wizard forum!
I know what you mean though - maybe a prophet will do you, some times i think i would have preferred a prophet being slimmer more rigid and 2mp camera. But today when writing a long text. i know why i like the wizard - the keyboard

Alrighty - Dont let the door hit you in the ass on the way out. Exactly what did you hope to achieve by coming here and posting? Were you hoping to justify your decision to yourself.

I just wanted to share my disappointment. I will talk to you after you own the Wizard for 5 months, PM me then with feedback.
Well I've had mine for 6 now, and here's my experiences...
- it's slower than expected ( yes, I could overclock, but really.. I don't want it faster that badly )
- the paint peeled off the IE/Mail/Soft key buttons.. ah well, big deal - the mail button goes to the start menu and the IE button clicks on the app close button, so the icons don't match my functions anyway.
- no paint peeled off the sides yet
- no loose stylus yet (I tend to collapse it before inserting it - maybe that reduces stress on the part that breaks off?)
All in all, I'm quite happy with it. Sure, I would've liked it faster, and maybe 640x480 would've been nice (and built-in GPS, FM radio, a 3.5mm headphones plug, better volume on hands-free (oddly, an episode of stargate I put on there plays quite loudly - so it should be possible.. haven't tried those reghacks yet), maybe a scroll wheel, and a 2-3MP decent camera would've been plusses)... but here's the thing... None of the devices out there that fit that bill (to greater or lesser extent) appeal to me. They're either even bulkier and less practical to me (e.g. Universal) or their button layout irks me (Magician, and upcoming 'Wizard replacement' Hermes), etc. Form-factor wise, the Wizard suits me best, and that's why I got it - the slightly slower performance (I noticed it in the store) wasn't so much an issue for me.. I'm not using it to play the latest 3D game.
I have had my QTEK 9100 since January and I have to say that it is the best phone I have ever owned. Of course it is my first Pocket PC so that doesn’t give me much to compare to. It does have some small issues but overall, I am glad I bought it. I am also experiencing the stylus fallout issue but plan to try the suggestion offered in another thread once I receive my replacement stylus next week. No issues yet with the paint but that is not important to me because I have reprogrammed most of the buttons to perform another function anyway. I also find it a pain to have to hard reset when upgrading the ROM or sometimes the device just starts acting weird (like windows 9x) so I just reformat it. Long process but it works. I would have to say that this device is not friendly enough yet for the average consumer but this forum has been a great help with resolving issues and offering tips. I think I would have gone nuts if it weren’t for this forum! The QTEK website is useless for help or ROM updates so I will likely not get another QTEK but will consider the same model from another manufacturer.

I just updated to last ROM using Qtek website, all what you have to do is registering your IMEI in their site, and then you can download any new ROM for free with instructions how to do it, plus there is area fo registered users where you can download Tonerings, games, appz etc... for free. Just wanted to defend Qtek Site and clearing this misunderstanding.

Thanks for sharing your experience.
I had the same paint problem with Himalaya device (qtek2020). I suppose this is due to wet hands I also have the same problem with my notebook ASUS M2Ne. But the problem is solved by annual ordering of the case for notebook and I suppose you can order cases for your handhelds too.
As for now, I don't have any problems as you did with wizard. I will try to be careful with mentioned areas

Wish it was that easy... tried that and they claim my number is not valid and that I need to contact the vendor where I purchased for updates... well that vendor is EBAY so I am SOL on that. So I rely on this site for my updates.
@keitht :
I guess that the person - who sold this to you - registered the IMEI already therfore you have to know his Username and Password to login, or tell him to delete the IMEI from his account, then you can register your imei for your account.
I don't know if you can reach the seller anyway, but I think this is what happened and this what can be done to solve this problem.
BTW I am happy with the Wizard, but this is only my 3rd day using it , that means this thread doesn't count me.
with regards to the paint peeling off... no, that's not normal, really. If you want these things to last, then you don't use decals (cheap keyboards use these... you'll see the letters 'chip' off) or paint (slightly more expensive keyboards.. the letters will fade) - you use cut-outs or impregnation. On the Wizard, for example, check the green/red phone buttons (when they're not backlit). Those will never fade or chip, as they're cut-outs.
Note that they could have used cut-outs for the other buttons as well, but cut-outs are slightly more expensive, and it would be even more expensive once you factor in branding (e.g. T-Mobile would need a whole special cut-out for their HotSpots icon instead of the IE icon - whereas now, that's just a different stamp)
However, even given that it's not normal - it *is* common, and I've just come to expect it from anything that uses decals/paints for any graphics/lettering. You lean to live with it, unfortunately
I have had more than 10 different pocket pc's and 2 different pocket pc phones in the last 5 years and have to say that my Qtek 9100 is my favorite handheld device yet. It has a great battery life, does not lose data if the battery dies, works great as a web browsing tool, computer, and phone, and also works remarkebly well with bluetooth. I find it to be the first converged device I have owned that I can just use, without having to constantly fuss with it to make it work. It is far from perfect, but definitely good enough for my purposes so that when I travel I do not need to carry my laptop, as it fulfills all my computing needs, albeit with a slightly less than ideal user experience. I am more than willing to put up with the minor idiosyncracies of the device when I consider how many devices it can fill the gap for.
I'm using my Wizard for 7 months now, and it's definitely the best PDA/phone I've ever had. Ok, the build quality isn't on par with brands like Sony-Ericsson or Samsung, but the functionality makes up for everything. I use it for push-mail, navigating, browsing, contacts and calendar. When traveling by train, I hook it up to my laptop and use it as a GPRS-modem (I've got flat-fee GPRS from T-Mobile), zo I'm connected to the internet and the office. I use it at home on the sofa for browsing and MSN when my wife is watching stuff I really don't wanna watch (like soaps). In my car it's used as a navigation device (Adapt 300 GPS) and it's connected with my BT Logitech headset.
The paint hasn't scraped off anywhere, but the stylus comes loose too easy (a single wrap of tape around the black tip works fine).
Great phone, I'd cry if I had to miss it
I have the K-Jam since october 2005, so almost 8 month now.
For me it is also the best PDA in years.
It's the first PDA that lasts longer than half a year with me. :lol:
And I don't even see a suitable successor in the near future.
I don't face the problems with paint peeling off.
Ok, the mail and the IE button have faded a little, but that's all.
And, of course, the speed isn't everything, it could be improved.
The stylus is a little loose, but it doesn't falls out (yet)
And I am very, very pleased with the pushmail and A2DP.
I've had my Vario for around 6 months now, and don't see any of the problems the thread starter has found.
I treat my phone with care amd respect, in return it keeps all its paint on for me.
It may be true that the Vario build quality is not a patch on the MDA Compact, but it's still in good condition.
I've had my vario now for 3 months and the main problem I have with it is the stylus not holding as well as it did when it was new. No paint peeling off etc.
It may only be a 195mhz processor, but it is faster than my Treo 650 with a 312mhz processor.
I've used most of the Treos' and this is my first device on the 'dark side'! The treo is simpler to use, but the wizard was the closest I could get with the same size form. Unfortunately for Palm, WM5 is streets ahead of Palm os - maybe that is why they released the 700w.
Anyway, the 700 is not an option for me in the UK.
Connecting to 2 bluetooth devices at the same time, stereo bluetooth capability - all things treo 650 users wanted, multitasking - the list goes on. I can see me upgrading to the 3G version of the wizard when it's time to upgrade my phone in the future, in a little over a year.
When I was given the phone by T-Mobile, I wasn't going to use it, and just use my Treo 650, but the more I read about the vario and then used it, the more I liked it.
The wizard rocks.
I LOVE everything abouth my wizard! I'll upgrade only to wizard with microdrive (when ever it be)!
My 8125 is my first "Dark Side" device too. I've never been happier. The only thing I miss about PalmOS was the wonderful screen realestate on my Tungsten T3.
I've punished the case on mine pretty badly too and it's never chipped or peeled. The only thing that happened was that little rubber "foot" on the battery cover came off. I wonder if the various style of Wizard cases are built by different manufacturers? That could account for this.
Hello to everybody...
Member "Chaos42" has updated Wiki , he said that all problems with Tytn has been solved :
http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=RecentChanges
He wrote that devices with Serial HT633 has got not problems.
Would you please "Chaos42" tell Us why you think so ? Have you tested a Tytn with this serial ? For how many days ?
As i read here :
www.mobile01.com/topicdetail.php?f=61&t=202144
seems that Tytn(s) with serial beginning with HT634 (that is greater that HT633) are not bug free..Language is Chinese, you can translate it with "Google's tools for languages".
Guys , i'm disoriented...Let's start talking about this news.
Bye!
Hello everybody,
is recieved my replacement unit five days ago. It is an TytN HT633xxx, ROMVers: 1.18.257.2 (07/22/06), Radio: 1.03.03.10, Protocol: 32.34.7010.01H, EXTROMVer: 1.18.257.105
and i have to say this device feels diferent/better then my old HT628 TyTN. The Keyboard feels more solid, the screenaligment problem has not occured once since i am using my device, and the most obvious thing was that the new battery was not fully coverd with a white plastic, but had a metalplate on the bottom instead. Alle buttons work as expected (also on the keyboard), the device is not getting hot when using wlan and the battery seems to last longer. So i am pretty happy with my new TyTn.
If there is anything you want to know or want me to check, feel free to ask
Thank you chaos42 for your reply... :wink: I was a little "suspicious" in my post because i've seen your Wiki's upgrade but i've not seen any your post in this forum before about Tytn and you registered your account only yesterday...So i thougt that this was a new Htc's commercial strategy to sell Tytn that seems to have,at the moment,many bugs.
What can you say us about :
1. During battery charge Tytn getting hot ?
2. This HT633 Tytn is in your hands since ?
3. Wi-fi range is good or poor ?
4. Screen switch from portrait to landscape when Tytn is in his guard or when keyboard is "opened" ?
5. The guard is like the previous or is a new one without magnet ? (The magnet seems to cause alignment and orientation issue to the display)
6. Any freeze problem ?
At the moment you and "randomelements" owns the most recent devices...let us to stay tuned on your tests...Thanks in advance.
Hi,
how did you get the new one? Did you replace it for free thru HTC support?
thanks

I dont work for HTC nor i am in any way related to HTC
For the last ten years i was a heavy and loyal palmuser so, i stayed away from ppc-forums :roll:
the tytn is my first ppc device...
1: This was my problem with my old HT628 especialy when charging and using wlan at the same time. This problem is completly gone. This is maybe related to the new design of the battery, with the metalplate on the bottom. And for me the battery lasts now about 30% longer.
2: five days, playing a lot with it
3: its slightly better, but i only tested it at home, so i have to do some more tests
4: the screen still keeps switching when i take it out of the case, because of the magnets in that damm case. When using the keyboard the screen switches as expected, no more freezeing during screenswitch
5: still the one with magnets
6: no freezing until now, no need for a softreset since i got it
cheers,

Yes, the friendly support told me that during the first 4 weeks they replace it for free. I just called them to ask if its normal that the device gets pretty hot during charging especialy when using wlan at the same time. She said, she has to ask, but after mentioning my screen alignment problems she said i will get a replacement unit, and i should send it in as soon as possible because its a know hardware issue.
I also called the repairecenter in germany, just because i wanted to know how long it will take, and after i said that i got the screen aligment issue, they laughed and told me i will get a replayment unit for sure. four days later i had my new tytn. thumps up for the htc support!
Hello,
Only to say that the initial TyTN Spanish version is:
ROMVers: 1.18.262.2 (07/22/06)
Radio: 1.03.03.10
Protocol: 32.34.7010.01H
EXTROMVer: 1.18.262.105
1. During battery charge Tytn getting hot ? >>> NO
2. This HT633 Tytn is in your hands since ? >>> 2 weeks
3. Wi-fi range is good or poor ? >>> Poor (my Qtek 9100 has better range)
4. Screen switch from portrait to landscape when Tytn is in his guard or when keyboard is "opened" ? >>> YES, like the Qtek 9100, because de magnet (if you put the magnet near the camera buttón screen change, there is a magnetic swith inside)
5. The guard is like the previous or is a new one without magnet ? (The magnet seems to cause alignment and orientation issue to the display) >>> The guard is like the Qtek 9100's, 4 magnets, but leather.
6. Any freeze problem ? >>> NO

I called the servicedesk today and the lady told me different.
They have been waiting for an answer from HTC. And got it yesterday.
HTC mailed them how to repair the Tytn (replace parts) and they are not allowed to replace the Tytn's.
So, new policies??
Well, wil wait and see which phone I get back.

So MacPac you think the magnets in the case are causing the screen alignment issue? Because any magnet powerful enough to effect a switch inside the device cant be having good effects on the screen alignment, is that a logical notion?
Just updated the wiki to include HT634 (HERM300). only issue I've noticed is that some of the keys aren't as responsive as the others. Does anybody else have this version and experiencing similar issues or do I have a duff unit?

All,
I have a Vario 2 and have noticed that when I press down on the D-Pad the whole unit that comprises of the green send button,red end button, ok button and windows button seems to lift upwards quite a bit from the phone. Does anyone elses do this?
Thanks
M
Yip, mine does. It lifts up quite a bit actually. Then you need to push it down to click the thing back into place.
Hi,
Should it be like that? I am sure over time this has happened as I dont remember it lifting so much when I got the phone about 4 weeks ago.
Thanks
As far as I'm aware it's been like that since I received it. That pesky down push on the Dpad...
Mine doesn't do that. Everything stays firmly in place even if I push on the down button of the D-pad really hard
My dpad does not lift up but i do notice that the light that lights the green phone button is quite visible around the edge of the button set......
didn't notice this on my old wizard.....
Mine did that too, Luckily I have noticed it within 8 days of purchase and returned the device. The new one also does it but Much and Much Less. Actually almost not, but I beleive it is a common problem, since in the store i made them open two boxes to chose from
Mine does it too. Asked T-Mobile UK to replace it. They have checked the IMEI and said this is a 'normal' behavior. Very dissapointing.
Hi again,
I have compared mine to my friends one and his one is D-Pad is rock solid. He has had this phone for about 6 weeks now.
I have arranged to send mine back to T-Mob UK
Thanks
Msuk
MOst of the vario 2 has this kind of down Dpad... I had the one which is not so severe..
I've had my 8525 for about 3 months, and now it constantly clicks the upper right hand corner and exits all of my programs! I'll soft-reset and sometimes it wont boot up, it just hangs at the windows logo screen. I upgraded the ROM to the newest from Cingular thinking it was some program that was doing it, but it comes back.
When it's in portrait mode, it's the upper right hand corner. When it's in landscape, it clicks the start button(upper left) so I dont think its a program thats making it click, but something physical touching that certain spot. Anyone have any idea?! I thought something was stuck in there but it's clean.. this is so annoying, I cant even make a call since it clicks exit when it comes up! It stops SOMETIMES for a few minutes but then it comes back after a while.. anyone else?
Give it a yung choo kung foo whack, take a run-up.
...
Sounds knackered, you could try the screen alignment fix, pressure from the gasket may be causing this:
http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=How to fix the Screen Aligment issue
Your best bet is to send it back for repair though .
I bought it off ebay.. so no warranty
It's weird because I take a very slim credit card( 1/2 the thickness as regular cards) and slide it in and bring up the plastic around the screen and it STILL does it!! nothing is touching the screen at all. Also, my alignment is still spot on perfect.. what gives?
Oh yeah, I did smack it a few times and it works sometimes.. It's been okay right now for about an hour but I know it's going to be short lived..
Did you try loosening the screws?

Yours is the third or forth report of that error. My Trion had the exact same problem, and I needed to exchange it (bought it new from O2, so it was under warranty).
None of the screen alignment fixes I tried made any difference. The problem was also temperature dependent - when the Trion was cold, everything was okay. Leaving backlight on and listening to MP3s for five minutes was enough to make the problem appear - first, only a few fake 'taps', then more and more, and eventually the screen didn't recognize any of my taps at all.
So it seems to be a hardware issue. The only software solution I could think of: back in WM 2003 days, there was a registry setting to increase/decrease the touchscreen sensitivity. If it still exists in WM5 (don't know, sorry. Others may be able to tell you), you could try setting it to be quite insensitive. Might help.
Cheers

Thanks for the reply, now that I think of it, it only happens when it's warm. Looks like I'm SOL. Oh well, I guess ill put up with it until the iPhone comes out.. ill try loosening the screws too.
Your case is putting pressure on that part of your screen. It is not device specific. Slip a piece of paper under the case to check for clearance. I use under the case screen protectors and have seen this before. You may be able to simple pry the case and create some clearance.
I have exactly the same symptoms. It seems the registry settings do not exist in the Hermes to adjust the sensitivity so I am thinking return for replacement must be the only option. Argh! I feel defeated

The iPhone? You're going to actually exchange this beautiful piece of full-fledged mini-computer &phone in one goodness for an iPhone? Note: This was not meant to flame anything or anybody. If you feel that I have, I deeply apologise.

I've inserted a small piece of plastic between the frame and the screen (one month ago).
Here you will find a resume of proposed working solutions
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=1056346&postcount=227
Can you tell us the serial of your Hermes? (HTC62xxxxx, 63, 64)
That is the same problem I had with my 8525. I tried ALL the solutions here in the forum but nothing solved it. I finally returned it to Cingular and they gave me a brand new one with zero hassle. Two weeks in on the new one, and it's working like a champ (knock on wood).
the S/N is HT657xxxx
Nothing is putting pressure on the screen, I've pried some clearence between that part of the screen and it still does it. I dont even have a Cingular account, so I doubt they'd help me
My only other option is to take it apart(following the japanese website instructions) and see what's going on.. Maybe something underneath the screen is doing it? I dont know..
Oh yeah, not only did i loosen the screws behind the screen but I completely removed them and it STILL does it. I found the registry setting for screen sensitivity and lowered it from 7,xxxx to 5,xxx and it did nothing..
Hello all, I hope this post can help you with the same or similar problem I had.
My LG gt540 started having a problem 2 months ago, the touchscreen got offset by 2 centimetres(1 inch) verticaly down, this was very annoying specially texting and couldnt access the top panel. Ex: to unlock the phone I had to press 1 inch above the green button.
Sometimes(I dont know why) it went back to normal, but about a week since the problem started it just got permanent, I tried rebooting, taking the battery, etc, nothing worked... Even tried to go to the calibration option but the offset was to much so it said out of range...
Then I read something online about the heat caused touchscreen problems, so I was thinking... hardware dont really like heat, and I always carry my phone on my pocket, the body heat could be damaging the touchscreen, lets try cold, it could solve it, long shot but what do I have to lose?
Left my phone in the freezer for 10 minutes, turned on, and it worked! for 1 month now its back to normal!
Hope it helps you, but try first freezing it powerd off, may be safer.
i have got my phone 2,5 years and i havent got any insue with the touch screen
Hi
My phone started doing the exact same thing a week ago...
This is the only thing I haven't tried, lets see if it works for me....
Thanks
I've had screen calibration problems since i started flashing custom roms.
In my case the screen positions are slightly off at the right side of the screen. When I want to type an "p" i have to touch where the "o" is on a german keyboard.
I'm trying your solution right now.

I have problems for the outer 4 sides.
It's worth to try.
Didn't work for me, it was only fine for 5 minutes....
Also didn't work for me.
Besides, after puting it in the freezer the display protection foil now looks a bit strange.

Hi, sorry for waking this thread up.
I also have the same problem, press 'o' to get 'p'.
I want to ask you guys who already tried this method. Did it work?
It's tempting, but it might be better to know more info.
Thanks.
