Problems with rebooting of MDA Vario

I have a problem and I hope someone can help me.....
First of all I have been having problems when soft-resetting my MDA Vario. When soft-resetting my device, it freezes when starting up. I have the following programs installed:
Wisbar Advance 2
SBSH PocketBreeze
SBSH PocketWeather
Windows Live Messenger Beta
I haven't found out what is causing the problem, but everytime it freezes I have to hard-reset my device which is totally getting frustrating!!! Usually it takes me about an hour to reinstall everything again, sync my contacts, tweaks in my registry and so on.
Has anyone else been having this problem or knows what is causing it to do this???? I'm just reinstalled everything again and everything is running smooth again, but I'm afraid to soft-reset my device again because I'm afraid it will freeze again on startup. Furthermore, everytime I sync my device I have a pain in the royal to get my contacts back the way they are....
I'm open to any suggestions! Thanks in advance!!

Freezing
Try not re-installing one of them after your next hard-reset.
It it no longer freezes - you have the culprit.

I have a feeling that it's WLM that is causing the problems. I know I shouldn't have installed it, but once you use it your hooked! Going back to the old Pocket MSN is like trading in a Ferrari for a old Toyota Corolla... although the old Corolla is like old fateful and won't let you down, driving a Ferrari is like a dream!
Anyway.... I will try rebooting when I get home and see if I find out the problem. Have you had this problem too ? Or is it just me ? I've done some searching and it seems that others have the problem but haven't been able to pin point it.
I just hope I can uninstall the WLM beta off my device without hard-resetting it.....

One thing I noticed on my device is that when you boot it up and leave it alone it will crash, but if you touch the screen or press a button every 30 seconds or so it boots up fine.
Think it is something to do with the standby setting after x seconds, if thats disabled it boots up ok.

Thanks for your reply!
I reinstalled everything on my phone again... getting to be a real pain reinstalling everything. Anyway, my vario works fine now with WLM, that did seem to be the problem.
But, how did you manage to disable the standby setting ??? And how did you find it out??? Have you tested this enough to know that this is the cause?
Maybe there is a registry tweak that will help, can anyone say which adjustment is necessary in your registry???

Freezes then restarts

Hello,
I have a wizard and its always ran pretty well, but recently i dropped it pretty hard and now it will freeze randomly by itself even when im not doing anything and then the screen will fade out and it restarts by itself. Ive had it for over a year and Ive dropped it many times before and its never done this until now.
Also i was going to flash a new rom to it but although it connects to activesync, it does not syncronize and therefore the update utility cannot create a new file.
Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.

ActiveSync - Pop up crashes phone

Hi guys,
I was wondering if anyone has the same problem as me,
randomly i get an active sync prompt on my phone (programs>active sync) and my phone then freezes completely. 90% of the time i cant get out of it so i need to take the battery out for a reset.
It used to happen on R2A and also on R3A which makes me believe that its something to do with my settings. any one else got the same problem or know how to fix it.

WiFi Ghost

Hi guys.
All of a sudden out of the blue my wifi keeps trying to start and connect, even if i turn it off after 5 seconds it will come back on again.
I havent done anything to the phone, (i.e no new apps etc) anyone else experienced this?

[Q] Omnia 7 keeps turning off

Hi all
Today my Omnia 7 keeps turning itself off. The behavior doesn't seem to be entirely predictable, but it happens when the screen shuts itself off to save power and when the light sensor shuts the screen off. It also happens when you plug headphones in, but it happens unpredictably as well.
I've tried taking the battery out and leaving it for a while, as well as some longshot ideas like setting a password and changing the timeout interval.
Has anyone experienced this, and does anyone know how to fix it? The place I bought it from are refusing to replace it, even though it's only a few months old, and I don't want to send it in for repair. (That's Buymobilephones.net btw - do not use).
Thanks

Hi
I am facing the same problem
Unfortunately, it seems that Omnia 7 isn't designed in a proper way, because you are the fifth guy face the problem form the same device.
I think Samsung should consider this and solve it
the problem is we don't know from where t this problem comes from
is ti hardware or software
but I think it hardware issue because while I was formatting process it just restart itself
if you have any news just tell us

Thanks for the reply
It also freezes every morning after disconnecting from the charger but not until I get in the car. lol. So I assume it's either when I put it in my pocket or take it out. I have to take the battery out and then the whole turning off thing starts. I've called Samsung who said they would repair it, but as you said it might be software related, so really I should try rolling back from 7008 to 7004 (and remove chevron) or update to NoDo properly. Either way I think getting it back to MS official would be a good starting point.
Thanks

i have almost the same problem. my omnia 7 keeps restarting every time i'm in an app or using ie or marketplace, sometimes is just showing the samsung logo and stays like that untill i remove the battery or do a hard reset.
these problem appeared after i updated to nodo 7392 from 7008 so i'm thinking it's a software problem, then i rolled back to 7004 thought everything was ok and it started restarting again.
so rolling back to other firmwares wont help, if anyone found the cause or a solution for this problem please let us know
