Hi guys,
I own a Qtek 9100, running K-JAM_WWE_216901_2169101_020710_ship.exe.
Yesterday it hung during hotsync, so I had to disconnect it and SR. After loading all the OS and starting ringing for all the reminders, so screen froze. The Send & End buttons still light up the display, and the off button still works, but the touch screen is non-responsive and the volume/comm/voice buttons do nothing.
So, I HRed it, and all came back to normal. However, after I restored from my latest SPB-Backup, it hung again after the SR. This is weird, since the backup was made 2 days before my device hung. So I tried to:
1. Restore older and older backups. Got the same behavior.
2. Reinstall the ROM, and then reostore backups. Same behavior.
2. Restore the backup, to load SPB-pocket plus, and then reboot in safe mode and then restore the backup again. No good.
Anyone has any clue on what software glitch is hanging my device?
Thanks!
Rebuild
I ran into something similar, wound up rebuilding from scratch. Is your backup program running off the SD card? That was the problem in my case, the backups themselves were corrupted.
I rebuilt from scratch and the MDA worked much better afterward; I guess I had some registry problems from uninstalls or something.
I have the same issue with my Cingular 8125 (haven't taken the time to rebuild). My symptoms are the same as yours, the way I got around it (temporary, until I rebuild it) is to remove the SD card when it boots. Wait a few seconds after it boots to reinsert it.
Oddly, if I reinsert it, I can no longer receive SMS messages (messaging doesn't launch period). I can launch messaging once I remove the SD card. Reinserting it again will, once again, not allow me to access messaging. It's odd and totally came out of the blue. I didn't install anything on the phone for a few days (this started happening last week) from when before it started happening.
Oh, and I'm also running Pocket Plus (interesting...).
My phone has been working fine for a few months now, after several flashes (cant pick a ROM ) anyway, a few days ago it started acting funny. It would freeze just doing normal everyday tasks, then it would just start working again like nothing happened after about 2 minutes. Now today, it freezes on my welcome splash (the one after the htc, the windows splash). and it just sits there. Sometimes, if I let it sit for about 10 minutes, it will start up-VERY SLOWLY, and if you go into any menus, it freezes. I tried to re-flash, but it wont establish an activesync connection. Is there anyway to get the phone to flash in my situation? Hopefully, I could flash it back to a cingular rom and send it in for warranty.
Did you tried to hard reset your Wizard by resetting while holding Comm Manager and Voice Command button?
Yeap, runs through the set up, gets to the screen where it says "customizing in 3...2...1" and shuts off.
Well, today, it completely died. Won't turn on, tried a new battery.....nothing. Do you think, since it won't turn on, I may be able to sneak it by Exchange By Mail???
Fixed it! For some reason, the first time I tried a new battery, it didn't work. Tried it again just for the hell of it, and it fixed it. Strange.....
sometimes when i soft reset my mogul it goes into a sort of reboot loop, it will reset before loading the today screen
i have an app that lets me boot into a "safe mode" with all today plugins, autorun items and nonessential services disabled, however this too reboots (it resets before even loading the today screen, it resets at the wm6 splash screen)
any ideas? i suspect its some app i have installed, just seems weird that it would happen before anything else loads
When this happens, simply remove the SD card and the loop will stop.
Also, it seems that this has stopped if you have the most current ROM.
heh, i never even thought about pulling the SD card *kicks self*
ive been hesitent to get the latest rom because i dont want to reinstall all my apps and tweaks again, especially when i know ill have to do it for rev.A anyway, lol
thanks for the help, nice to see another chicagoan here (im in the south subs)
Did you recently install the HTC audio manager and/or the HTC Home?
Those programs aren't really the cause...there have been reports of users who don't have them installed that had the reboot loop anyways. I have actually had the reboot loop after a hard reset with no installed programs and reg tweaks...

no and no
havent had the problem again yet, so i havent been able to try the SD thing, but it makes sense since its happenening before autorun apps and services load

I didn't say they were the cause, I was just trying to run past some programs that are known to cause these symptoms.
To flatout say that they are not the cause is just wrong. There is a combination of HTC home and the Audio manager that'll force the unit into a reboot loop you can't get out of.
So no one has found a cause for this? How would this even be feasible if you have startup programs installed on the SD card? I also wanted to put all mail downloads and attachments on the SD, but if I have to pull it out, WM6 creates a Storage Card folder and my actual SD becomes Storage Card 2. It's a pain to have to delete and rename and such especially considering how often the device has to be reset...
Althought the cause is not exactly known, it has been speculated to be a ROM issue. Since flashing to the latest ROM, I have not one reboot loop, and this has been for a few months now.
Those experiencing this, what ROM version do you have?

This was present in the 2.08 ROM and was fixed with the 2.09 ROM.
I installed the latest DCD rom no programs installed and it just keeps on looping sometimes it stops for a hr or two and than starts looping again
I tried re-installing the original sprint rom but the same thing keeps on hapening
Are you running Spb Pocket Plus? There are known issues by the developers regarding memory, battery, power meters in the Pocket Plus Today Plugin. For more info, go to Spb Club:
http://www.spbclub.com/forum/index.php
I tried everything, I put back the original Sprint rom didn't help. I went back to sprint they tried, coudlln't fix it, I got a new Phone out of the box.
They still have radio 1.32 and Rom 2.09 the blutooth works excellent on this.
I've had to return 2 phones in the last 2 months. My first phone would just freeze up for no reason. I could use the phone for a couple of hours then it freezed. Well the couple of hours soon became a few minutes than only for about a minute. If I took the battery out for awhile then I could turn it on again for a few minutes. It was as if the battery or cpu was getting hot and then freezing up.
The next phone worked good for 2 days and then all of a sudden it just died at the sprint logo. It boots up and shows the rom version with the sprint logo than the rom text disappears and its stuck at the sprint logo. It won't boot any further. It will stay on the sprint logo and the backlight will even go off after a few minutes. Strange... I am about to take this phone back tomorrow.
So far I've had nothing but bad experience with the durability of these phones. Once I get it set up properly it dies... :-(
i got a mogul aswell, nvr happened to me sorry can't help..
I just installed DCD2.3.2-Telus (several times) along with Titan_Radio_3.27.0. At first it worked wonderfully. The second I install anything to do with the GPS though, the system goes into a reboot loop. Actually it even started doing it last night without installing any navigation software.
- Google Maps
- TomTom 6
- Live Search
^^ Those are the 3 I've tried so far and all three have lead into reboot loops. I just flash the ROM again and everything is okay (for a while).
I've also tried running dcd_titan_2.1.0_telus and got the same problem once I installed one of the above Apps.
Does WM6 create dump files like in Windows so I can figure out what the hell is causing this? I want my GPS to work!!!!
After the reboot loops start, I tried removing the SD card as mentionned but it did nothing. Keep in mind I installed the programs to my internal memory.
Update: After flashing the ROM again to 2.3.2, the second I insert my SD card that also triggers the reboot loop.
Update #2: With the stock Rom, it seems to be working fine again. I think it's a problem with the GPS chip itself?
After spending the last few days trying to figure this out, I said the heck with it and contacted HTC to see what they have to say. Will post their reply once I get it. Hopefully there is a fix, because I hate this!! Now, I can't set my Spb Backup to run on auto, otherwise I wake up to the splash screen again....and again.....and again! I get so angry as I wait anxiuosly to see the result, today screen or verizon, and then *buzz*, I'm going crazy!
I had the same problem as you with my XV-6800 using the stock ROM and it always would go into reboot mode unless I ejected the sd card first. I could only put the card back in after it booted up. I also removed two programs from the device's main memory (Microsoft Voice Command 1.6 and a task switcher).
I'm currently running SPB mobile shell and SPB Pocket Plus (for the task manager) and it's working fine now.
The only thing I can suggest is to remove one program at a time and reboot to see if maybe there is software conflict
I had an Orange spv m3100. I put Pandora Naked 5.0 ROM on it several months ago, it was working fine.
In the last few weeks, when ever I used Airplane Mode, I couldnt get the phone to come back after I had finished with Airplane Mode, and had to reboot the whole unit.
Then what started happening was; when rebooting, it would get to the password entry screen (not SIM password), and tell me I had entered the wrong password (I am 100% sure it was not the wrong password). Or just freeze up.
At this point a hard reset would sometimes get the phone working again. But I often got the "No GSM" problem.
Yesterday I installed
http://www.4winmobile.com/forums/ht...e-3-54-255-3-radio-1-48-00-10-2-8-2007-a.html
But am still having the No GSM problem sometimes, sometimes the phone boots up and everything works, except, the phone, or sometimes everything works!
I wonder what to do next .......
So, when i first got this eee pad i installed all the apps that looked shiny to me, and after a few days it locked up and i had to reset it.
The day after, i only installed 3.1 approved programs and it ran for another 2 days and locked up again.
So, the 3rd time i decided not to install a single program, not even setup my email account on it, and it ran for another 2 days and crashed again.
This has now happened on superstock 2 more times. And i've had it.
It either freezes or shuts of, and when i try to start it it hangs on the asus bootup screen.
One weird thing ive found on mine is that i cant shut it completly off.. When i hold in the powerbutton for (10-12sec) it just restarts after 8 secs.
Any1 else RMA'ed their product for this behaviour?
