I have Qtek S110 and since yesterday it keeps reseting by itself. Usually when I try to make a call or sombody calls me. I changed the firmware 3-4 times but no change so I guess it is not a software problem. I cleaned the contacts and everything good . The battery is fully charged.
Do you have any suggestions?
same with me few days ago. do you remember, u just installed new software? might be confict, or software is in beta, has bugs.. hardreset, try installing your softwares 1 by 1, test with calling form different phone, untill u find which software make your phone reset.
O2 mini keeps reseting
Hi,
I also have the same problem with my O2 mini. It keeps resetting by itself. Sometimes if i try to play a MP3 file and it resets. I think its a software problem. I took a complete backup and did a hard reset. Then the device worked properly. But after I restored my backup, the reset continues.
Either its a software conflict or its a virus/bug.
Hi all,
my imate-jam does the same. I already tried previously working rom restore but nothing. Now I ordered a new battery since mine is more than two years old. I'll try it and let you know.
Bye.
sassoz
Any luck?
Hi all,
I have already given you my assumptions that either its a software conflict or a bug. Because after hard reset it worked fine and after full backup restoration, again the reseting started.
Is there a patch available?
I think it could also be shortage of RAM Memory as Magician has always been having Memory Problems.

This is not my case, infact it keeps resetting just after a hard reset without any software installation, i've also removed the phone sim.
I'm still waiting for the new battery that i've ordered...
bye
it's definitely the batter. i already experienced the same problems and my device worked flowlessly again with a new battery.
I had exactly the same issue. A new battery solved this. My battery was 1,5 years old.
Thanks!
Thanks for solving this problem.
One last question. How much would a new battery cost? And is there another company like Energizer making batteries for Magician that would last longer?
Thanks!
Hi,
after changing the battery (bought this one http://tinyurl.com/3yx8oo), the device continued to reset. Then I've cleaned the battery contacts and the little battery cover switch with a contacts cleaner spray and I haven't had any problem for the last two days...
Bye
Hi sassoz, please explain more details. I got new battery but it seem no change.
Thank you.
I had the same problem it crashed whilst making a call and eventually went on a endless reboot cycle. Corrupted contacts could be the problem ( it was with mine, I had restored a corrupted contacts backup). What I did was to remove the batt for a few minutes, put the batt back and hard reset. Later sysnced the contacts thru AS. The problems vanished.
Hope this helps.
Yep, it seem about contact list. But I don't know what is "corrupted contact"? I sync the contact list with my laptop through ActiveSync, but my contact list is OK.
Please explain more details.

Tukhoi, I was using PPC Contacts Backups, to backup (duh!) my contacts on the move. The problem discussed here occured almost immediately after I restored one such backup. To test this further I did a hard reset ( after sorting this issue) and restored the same backed up contacts and voila! the problem came back and went on a continous loop of resets. So I came to the conclusion that the backup of the contacts that I had taken was corrupted. Hope this is clear, sorry if I was vague.
Hi veeru27,
Thanks for your explanation.
I removed all my pst (data file of outlook) on my computer, remove all contact from outlook on my computer. Then I sync PDA with computer. After that, I connect PDA with computer again, choose not to sync contact list. The problem still come back.
I though it's about contact list, then I remove all contacts from PDA, just leave some important contacts. It's OK until now (about 1 day). Hope it work...
Thank you so much.
Well, I was talking about electric contacts, not pim contacts.
So, i changed the battery but I still had the problem. Then I cleaned the electric contacts (where the mobile takes energy from the battery) and the little switch that activated by the battery cover (when you remove it the mobile switch off) with a contacts cleaner spray.
For two days I had non reset but suddendly they started again. I have a suspect that they have to do with electric part and should not be a software issue.
Sassoz,
If you are using Magician / JAM. There is a known problem with the loose battery cover, which causes frequent resets. (even a slight movement in the battery cover causes a soft reset). I simply glued the battery cover hinges to the main panel.Since then no problems. I suspect that the battery cover could be the culprit. Try this if you are adventerous http://forum.xda-developers.com/images/icons/icon10.gif

today, for the second time since the ownership of this phone, my phone has been hard reset.
they battery was fully charged last night, and i had a couple of apps installed on the PPC. but the last time this happened, there were no apps installed on the phone, and it just randomly hard reset, and i lost EVERYTHING on my phone.
any ideas?
also, how do i get back my partnership from Activesync so that it recognises the device? i lost the partnership when the device was hard reset today.
also (last thing) if i do synchronise with activesynce, will i get all my data back on the phone, or will all the data on my computer be erased, and make me hopeless?
thanking you in advance for any replies.
signed
desperate
p.s.: it's a himalaya
i just do a restore (yes some people do make backups), and then i have my partnership back.
If this isn't an option try
1) setting your regional settings like before (don't know if this is necessary but read it somewhere in this forum)
2) in the registry of your XDAII set HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE/Ident/Name to what it was = name of directory on your PC under "Document and Settings/username/Application Data/Microsoft/Activesync/profiles/" (at least that's were it is on my Win2000
About the hard resets : I have no idea
what about the data though?
when i synchronise with activesync, and i have data remaining on the computer from my previous partnership, will i lose the data on the computer?
/me goes and tries it.
how do i access the registy on my PPC?
with phm regedit, it's freeware at i thik it's floating somewhere here on the forum :
http://forum.xda-developers.com/viewtopic.php?t=7136
with a new partnership, he will take data from xda to PC.
For syncing with outlook, i think he asks what to do copy them pc => xda; xda => pc ; or keep duplicates.
well, the only problem with that would be that when installing the registry program, i would also lose all my data, wouldn't i?
you can always connect as Guest & it won't do any syncing.
and then copy the cab file in the zip to somewhere on your xdaII & run it. That would install regedit on your xdaII.
Then Change the Name and reconnect to your PC.
the name of the device is already the same as that i had previously (Pocket_PC), but it still won't let me sync with my previous profile
I backup everyday using Sprite....its very fast
Since then I got no worries abt Hard Resets...ever.
You can store the backup files in your SD card or even your desktop.
If you keep files in the desktop, please
uncheck the 'Establish Partnership during backup or restore'
Its worth getting Sprite.
it is not the matter of worrying about the hard resets, it's just that i find them really annoying.
speaking of which, my phone hard reset AGAIN (strike 3) yesterday while i was walking up the stairs with the phone in my hand.
weird, or what?
all things active sync accountwise is located in
documents & settings\application data\ms\activesync\
and
documents & settings\my documents\my pocketpc ducoments
and no when you sync with outlook the contacts and appointments are added to outlook ms would have an angry mob on their door steps if
messing around with pda's would clear peoples outlook account
if you worry you can export outlook to a pst file
as a backup
if you remove the device from the application data place
or backup up you can use the same sync name as you did before thats where it gets it from
in the last three days, my phone hard reset on me twice.
these are becoming ever so frequent, and pissing me off now, because i don't who is calling me unless i get to a computer to restore all my data.
could it be possible that the battery is loose?

I'm surprised you haven't thrown it up the wall I guess it could be some sort of loose connection, but perhaps it would be better to take it back to the supplier (if it is still under warranty).
yes, i think it was a loose connection, because i just got frustrated and tried putting a piece of folded up paper on top of the battery, and hasn't hard reset since.
i think this is a common problem among us XDA 2 users and it is a MUST to use Sprite Backup... it is fast and has a smaller compression so the backup file is not that big to store in the mmc... just dont forget to install it in the storage card.. Sprite backup = no need for PC to restore files..
I had no problem with hard resets until I upgraded the rom to 1.72. Now my O2 XDA II hard resets randomly too. Once a month at least. I used the backed up software built-in to restore and use PHM RegEdit to restore my registry as well.
What's annoying is my Speed Dial resets even when I backed it up and other things went back to my previous backup. I'm going back to 1.60 or 1.66, good thing I still have the ROM backed up.
I have the same problem with my qtek2020, since rom version 1.72.00WWE.
My ppc has also an other problem, It looses the network after about 2 hours, after that i am not able to call, so i do an soft reset and the problem is over.
I believe that your xda has many application - and there is a conflict caused this Hardresets.
Solution is remove some of them - and it will be ok.
zhingis, no device should hard reset due to a conflict, with a polite O/S it would close one, more likely a lock up or soft reset but it shouldn't hard. The no. of applications won't have a bearing in any case unless they are open.
Has anyone tried regressing bootloader V to resolve?
I know that Pocket Plus from SPB has an issue with the XDA2 where it will cause it to hard reset if you have an SD card in, that's documented on their website.
Are you using SPB Plus? In anycase, use Sprite backup to your SD card, and within a matter of minutes you can have you're phone back the way it was.

yes thats happen with me , i think you upgrade to WIN2003SE , go back to WIN2003 , then you'll not face this problem again
I have an O2 XDA2. I just took the phone out of my jacket pocket to find that it wanted me to calibrate the screen. It went on to take me through the whole set-up wizard and then I found that all my data and installed programs had been lost
I'm guessing the phone decided it wanted to reset itself!
Does anyone have any idea why this might have happened so I can avoid it happening again?
The phone had plenty of battery power (approx 80%). It had plenty of space space (approx 28MB). I hadn't recently installed any software although I did uninstall Pocket Money on the weekend. I also created an IMAP email account then but I've had no problem with the phone since then until now.
Any ideas? Thanks very much
would prob be a good idear if you stated the rom version you are using
Sorry, It's 1.60.00 WWE
I have never upgraded it as I haven't the first idea how or what the implications are.
the latest officail rom is 1.72
if you get that from their site you will not get warrenty issues
when i used 1.66 i had lockups from time to time
after i got 1.72
i havent had any issues
I don't really feel comfortable upgrading it as I haven't the first idea what to do.
How do you normally reset a device? Is it something I could have done by accident?
there is a little hole in the buttom of it in the right corner if you press that using something thin like the stylus while you press the on button
then it hardreset
but there is software which let you do it as well
the upgrade is really pretty simpel
Thanks very much. I know the reset button, I use that every now and again. There's no way I could have pressed it and the on switch by accident given tha the phone was in an otherwise empty jacket pocket.
Oh well, I guess my phone just had enough of life. I'll look into upgrading the ROM when I feel a bit more adventurous
Fabulous...My phone has again decided to reset itself out of the blue.
I have no idea why it does this but it's a pain in the rear. Has anyone seen this before? Does anyone know if there's anything I can do to prevent it? (other than upgrading to the Universal when it comes out!!)
And it's happened again...seems to happen approximately once a month.
Has this spontaneous hard reset issue not happened to anyone else?
I suffered this audacious curse only to find that by removing my 1gig sd card remedied the problem.
I'm wondering if the sd card draws too much power/resources or whether I have a dodgy sd card.
Either way, without it I'm flying. I pop it in when I need to use my TomTom and as it's on charge in the car cradle it doesnt matter about resource usage etc.
So, try removing your sd card and see what goes
SD cards seem to be causing all sorts of problems. I kept getting the eternal spinning timer when copy, paste or deleting files, if the card was inserted. Did a soft reset today to be met with the calibration screen as from a hard reset. Such fun isnt it. :roll:
Hi Guys
Thanks very much for your comments. Unfortunately it isn't the cause as I have had my SD slot empty for a while now (my SD card is in my new car radio/MP3 player )
I'm starting to think that after 15 months my XDA2 has decided that it's had enough of the world. My colleague told me that it's seeking revenge as it's heard me salivate over its younger sister (the Universal).
As you say having the phone hard reset itself is a whole lot of fun!
I have the Sprite Back Up programe so all is not lost - it creates an exe file on the SD card that you locate and select thus restoring everything just how it was before it was lost
one can also just have activesync do an inc backup at each sync
and if the device hardresets one can connect as guest and restore the backup from ones normal profile
The nice thing about the Sprite software is that you can restore when you're out and about unlike the active sync method which means you need your pc close by
Hi!
I really need help right now. This is second time my TyTN goes wild this way.
I can start machine allright and I can put PIN-code in but little bit after TyTN hangs totally. It does not respond to anything.
Even hard reset is difficult to do because you have to be so quick to push buttons before systems freezes.
There is no extreme programs or any changes made after last hard reset.
1. Can I do something now on the road?
2. What have I done wrong that it goes wild like this?
Please help ASAP if there is something to do now without HR.
I dont think the freeze can stop the hard reset ... You should be able to HR even when your TyTN is frozen till the ice ages ...
This is not the....
This is not the main issue. I can Hard Reset... but what went wron in the first place? And twice in one week.
Few decent program installations and using ActiveSync in two machines... I think that is the reason somehow... But how to prevent this happening constantly.
Most likely, one of your programs is screwing it up .. You need to figure out which one it is ... Setup one by one manually and see what happens ..
Also, try installing SPB Pocket Plus .. that has a manual safe startup mode .. see if you are able to start up your TyTN in the safe mode .. instead of doing a hard reset everytime ..

Just another thing to check along with suggestions above. Do you use a storage card. If so does it still hang with the card out. And secondly is there a decent amount of on board memory free.?

Had this happen on a Prophet it turns out it was one of the 3rd party software apps installed, the author updated it and no more issues.
I would bet the same thing is happening to you on the TyTn
yer i agree with mark i had same prob with my htc tytn turn out to be a 3rd party bluesnafing tool
What program that...
...might be?
Nothing starts on startup. I mean nothing special that my friend does not have. And he has no problems at all.
My guess still is that problem is ActiveSync. Because in freeze I can see part of ActiveSync window. And ActiveSync starts automatic...
Is there way to prevent ActuveSync on startup?
Thank you for your replys.

_mike_ I wouldn't be that dismissive of that advice. Usually, just where you think your sure you have everything covered in a particular area so theres no need to check, thats usually where your problem is.
The fact is that you and your friend have two different phones. Are the model numbers, lot numbers identical? Did you both in stall the exact same software with the exact same version numbers?
I'm guessing that you missed something there.
You need to be patient and thorough when figuring our these issues.
The best advice to find the answer to your problem has already been given.
Start with a base WM5 build and your ext ROM software. Remove your memory card.
Spend at least a day or two in base config. This will certainly tell you if its the phone or the software.
If your phone stays good, add one of your programs to the phone and wait another day.
repeat this until you find out what's causing the issue.
It's not quick or fast, but it's effective.
Good Luck!

So what happened with this issue?
Mine has started doing this right after I installed pRSSreader and subscribed to BBc news feed
I took out storage card, soft reset and was quick enough to disable the today screen plugin for the offending app and then uninstall now everything's okay.
Maybe problem was caused by installing pRSSreader to the storage card confused:

There was an issue with pRSSreader 1.3.2 I believe. It happened to me. I was able to disable the today plugin and recover, but it took a few tries. It's supposed to be fixed in the latest version.
Freeze TYTN
I had the same problem after installing Nots Push mail 3 party software.
Each SR make my TYTN freeze.
I have used Memmaid in order to remove it from the startup program
It has solved the problem
Mine hung after installing and uninstalling psShutXp. After uninstalling, I kept getting a notification error message whenever I turned it on concerning psShutXp. Then, it just locked up for good. No amount of soft resets, powering off/on helped. After a hard reset and reinstall of my favorite apps, back to working fine.
I do occassionally lock my phone by accident and I get a little freaked out the next time I use it because nothing works. Then, I realize what I did and that I'm a moron and everything's good again.

Hi,
I now have the same problem. I have only a view programs installed. Each softreset hangs at the windows mobile screen.
As I don't like a hard reset everytime, my workaround is to enter the bootloader and do a softreset from there...
Is it cleared in between, what is causing the hangs?
good night
dsp
Im getting a similiar problem with mine after not having added ANY new software recently. Mine hangs at the HTC screen, and no matter whether there is:
A) sim card and microSD card
B) microSD card only
C) sim card only
D) neither
in the machine, it still just hangs at the HTC screen on startup (regardless of whether its a soft or hard reset), and doesnt even make the startup tone, or play the animation, all it shows are a few digits and such in red at the beginning. PLEASE HELP!
Mine has it too
I know its a year later, but has anyone found an answer for the Freezing / not booting / not starting of the phone?
One reason is if you have a BS rom installed. You need to install a stock NBS rom (make sure radio is stripped out or you will have to reflash yours) the reflash your BS rom. Make sure you back-up your contacts and messages first.
Cheers...
As weird as it may sound, my prophet is not loading up successfully since this morning. It was working well until last night and for no reason seems to have lost it's way.
I see the Splash screen with the IPL / SPL etc. information and then it proceeds into the blue Windows Mobile Screen (Windows loading screen) and doesn't get any further.
Has anyone faced a similar problem earlier and have a resolution to it. I do not want to Hard Reset my device at the moment.
I had this problem last time but it worked after n soft resets. I'm sure today I have far exceeded that number n in doing a soft reset on my device. Any help is appreciated.
Thanks,
Umesh.

Feasibility of a probable solution
Read this solution on another forum and thought of bringing it up for discussion here.
It said that these PDA phones have backup power source probably as a battery / capacitor to store ROM data in absence of the main battery. In case of situations like mine where the boot sequence is probably hitting a deadlock or some other problem , it might work to drain the back up battery / capacitor completely.
This might force the PDA to look for a fresh boot sequence or default.
Is this a possibility ? Do the senior members / experts here believe or know anything about this. I feel it's worth a discussion, if so.
Thanks,
Umesh.
The probable solution!!!

I did install the HTC Home Plugin but I'm also sure that did not cause the problem cause I had it running great for about 3 weeks now. The last software I tried installing on my device was Merriam-Websters pocket pc dictionary. It had some flash card feature which ran at start up and to my surprise the morning (without restart) before my cell went into the struggling mode. But unless it reloads itself, I cannot do anything about any of the softwares.
How did you resolve the same problem with your device. Did you also have to do hard reset ?

Hi
Actually,I installed a POCKET WEATHER, a weather forecasting program which installs some plugins on today sceern.Then my problems with the device(same as your)started to appear.I waited for 2 or three days,but finally I found the solution in removing it from my device.Once I deleted it,my device returned back to its great condition that it had before.I guess, you should ignore and put away those programs which leave a trace in today screen.Don't ask me why(Cause I don't know that much!!! )but I heard about some subsequent problems with your rom's cash, or something.You'd better removing them and I hope they will help you to solve the problem.
I did not have any luck and had to hard reset my device. I had not done it even once since I brought this handset about a year ago and am only glad to have done this now. Just realised how slow my device was working with all the software installs and uninstalls I had experimented with it over the year.
I did loose some data - but in the end a fair trade off.
hard reset keys dont work
Hi! i got the same problem, i installed an updated TouchFlo in my phone, but it hangs at start up, so i tryed to hard reset the phone, BUT my phone is a chinese clone of pharos 3470 / dopod P660 and the hard reset keys dont work (camera + power + reset) i have been trying diferent combinations of keys but i cant find any solution.
does anyone know a possible way to hard reset a phone?
i did it before, but from inside the windows settings and it worked well, but i cant do it with the keys, and i cant get in windows settings when it is stucked at startup
please help!
I got my phone from UK. O2 XDA Mini S which I am guessing it is the same as the wizard.
I have had a few problems with this phone. Recently my phone will quit letting me make calls. I normally have to turn it off, remove the battery, reinstall the battery, turn it on, wait and then use the phone. Then after a while, I cannot make any calls. I have not updated the software. Don't have the USB cable. Any suggestions what I can do to fix the problem. Is it a setting issue or a phone issue?
Sounds like a rom problem, but as you havent got the lead to reprogram it you only have a few options. If i was you i would use PIM Backup to backup your contacts and sms etc to your storage card and then copy any other files you have on the device over to the storage card then try a hard reset. go into settings and click clear storage type 1234 and click yes and your phone will wipe everything except for the windows.
See if that helps but be AWARE THIS WILL WIPE EVERYTHING FROM YOUR PHONE, so it is very important to use PIMBackup to save all your contacts etc to your smartcard.
Here is a link to to pim backup
http://rapidshare.com/files/85563377/ppcpimbackup_v2.8.rar
unrar it and copy the files to your smartcard then use file explorer to open it
Thank for the help. I will try that out today.
Are you a man u fan?
Thanks martin,
Seems to be working a little better now. Hope I don't have to do it again anytime soon? Will I need a new software update at some point?
Getting a usb cable soon.
Spoke too soon. The phone looses the network after several hours and I can't use the phone to call. What do I do?
This is frustrating.
Has it been dropped? It might have loosened some on the SIM card contacts with the mobo, thats what happened to mine, and I can sometimes make a call, otherwise it won't recognize my SIM

I either reset it (by pushing the button on the side) or remove the battery and sim card. It will work for a while and then quit working again. Do I need a new software? I get the USB cable in the mail any day now.
Or else I just need to get a new phone.

I know that mine is internal from drops, it just may be ROM related, try flashing a new one when you can and see what happens.
