Hello all.
My first post - unfortunately it's with a problem!
I have a T-Mobile MDA Vario II, recently I've noticed that if I have received an SMS, and not read it, then need to use the soft reset (for anything) - it deletes the SMS - as if I never received it. This doesn't happen when I hard reset the handset.
I had a friend test it on his phone - he doesn't have this issue.... I'm guessing that the SMS is initially held in a buffer until it's read - which presumably is cleared on soft reset - fair enough - but my friend has exactly the same phone and his doesn't do this... so is it a setting somwhere I can change?
I know the obvious answer is not to use soft reset when I've got SMS outstanding, but now I know it's an issue, i'd like to know the cause, and resolve it if possible!
Thanks
Mine does that now and then too. I barely need to soft reset now that I'm on WM6 though

Hi All,
It's my first experience with PDA. I bought O2 XDA Exec few days ago.
Well i'm not too happy with it but i'm try to console myself by looking into good side of it.
The first problem i faced is Phone pad. it stopped working. Tapping on Calls doesn't show phone pad. Media->video call also doesn't work. Tapping on Phone pad from input selector also doesn't work.
When i do soft reset it works first time but again stops working.
Can any one help?
I have e-mailed problem to O2 but I don't expect any help from them.
cheers

I also had a similar problem with applications or functions not responding.
After talking to someone from O2 customer service. They confimed that a new ROM is on the way but don`t have any dates.
But did suggest changing the install from "Basic" if anyone choose "Personal"
I did a hard-reset and choose the option to do a Basic install without all the rest of the
Also de-actived "Error reporting" & "Accept incoming beams"
This has helped...
At least a soft-reset solves problem and returns operations back.
And I don`t need to resort to doinga soft-reset so often.
While we wait for O2 to release an updated ROM.
But something that still bugs me is....
Whats the difference between the power botton and a Soft-reset?
Also why not make the power-botton the reset botton?
The same problem for me. Have to soft reset often, because it only works at the first time. However, it seems as long as you don't end it in the task manager, it can be contuniously accessed.

I did hard reset and installed in Corporate mode and it works now.

How many time hard reset do you have to do it?
so everytime you have problem u need to hard/soft reset?
i guess we better get a pen and a notebook,at least we dont need to reset.
i cant take it anymore because of xda that i have always gave me problem.
i bought my xda lls,less than 2 weeks i need to send for service.within a year i already send it 4 time.
i bought my xda lli.when i open up i saw a spoil pix there wont exchange with me.
tell me,how many xda users facing problem but nothing much u can do abt it?
I know that this problem has been mentioned in 2 posts earlier on.
I thought I bring it up again, maybe sb. has a solution or good idea.
My Wizard (K-JAM) resets itself in regular intervals by itself. After the reset, no input of PIN is required. Means you don't really loose the radio capability. It is annoying anyway.
Happens on the newest i-mate ROM but also happened on the earlier ROM version.
Could it be an application doing it ? I checked the notification queue, nothing abnormal there.
Anybody has the same problem or an idea ?
Cheers

My magician done that until latest T-mobile ROM
Perhaps a bug or 2 outstanding pending fix lists.
IF only vendors were like MS and had a publically viewable list of known bugs.
Then again if they acknowledge them we might get together for a class action.
My opinion is these devices are rushed to marked and vendors prefer to rush new models out instead of fixing existing issues.
Saw for the first time 5 minutes ago that my Qtek 9100 was doin a soft reset to ...
But as you said it only restart and no pin requierd so that's something you have to live with no updates yet.
Do you have Skype installed?
It did the same for me with Skype.
as meroupow said, i had reset problems until i removeed skype,
and resets went away
Never had Skype installed

Quite possibly way off topic but...
My old ipaq used to do the same to me all the time (i know its different hardware & software) but i eventually found it was flexing very slightly in my pocket. Added 1 aluminium alloy case - no more resets.
Just wondering if you wizard is under any physical stress that could be casuing a hardware fault / power interuption.

Thx for your advice.
The device has only been sitting on the desk or in my hands. It resets about every half hour wherever it is.
Cheers

btw: it resets also in flight mode !
i Know its a PITA but you might wanna go through a hard reset and see what it does on the basic "as shipped" setup. if its all ok add software 1 piece at a time until you see the problem reappear. if it fails after the reset you may have a faulty device, contact your seller.
If you find its "software x" do another hard reset and put that software on first, then see (to see if its X or if X is conflicting with another piece) then i'd make a new topic along the lines of:
Software X & Y on my wizard causing random resets
or
Software X and random resets
Sry i cant be more help

I hav the same problem I used the next prgrms
spb pocket plus wm5
memmaid wm5
resco explorer wm5
spamfilter wm3
tomtom 5.21
total tcommander
worldmate pro wm3
webismail beta wm5
spb diary wm5
My XDA mini is doing exactly the same - I was searching to see if anybody else was getting this.
I think it may well be to do with Skype as I think it started after I installed it.
Mine does it while sitting on the desk, so it's unikely to be a loose battery or contact issue. Also the fact that the radio is not affected point to a SW poblem.
I'll get rid of Skype and see how it goes
reset
I have the same problem on my K-jam. I removed my 1GB MiniSD (Sandisk) from the slot and the reset problem was gone.
Then I put the MiniSD back to the slot and the reset problem came back again.

After hardreset and new installation it's work good now so it must be a SOFTWARE problem

resco explorer 5.31 with registry add-in
sunnysoft backup manager 3.7
tcpmp (but the resets were happening before installation
call sms blocker (but the resets were happening before installation

A pocket pc should NEVER reboot alone that is a huge bug.
The only way when it gets like this is hard reset.
Then use it for a while and if there is no soft reset start installing softwares one by one.
If it soft resets after hard reset change your rom to a better one or bring it back.
Hi,
I had the same problem as well, random reboots. I noticed as you did that removing the miniSD storage card fixes the problem; I then tried to reformat my miniSD and it *seems* the problem has now dissapeared... Regarding the applications, the first time I noticed that problem was maybe 5 mn after I got it out of the box (was brand new) ... with no applications installed at all !
Try formatting (and then copyback the files) the miniSD, it could help ...
The funny thing concerning that problem is that it does not ask for the PIN anymore ... it makes me think it could be a 'normal' behavior, as to say that under some circumstances, WM2005 deliberately decides to reboot the device ...
Mine did this in the car today, just sat in its cradle, suddenly I saw the blue "Windows Mobile" screen.
Never asked for a PIN, but it wasn't until I got home that I realised that it hadn't re-connected to my service provider.
A soft reset later, and it was working again.
Latest O2 rom.
Strange but true
Happened to me as well today... as i took it out of the pouch.. cursed myself of being clumsy... :roll: Now i feel better. 8)
I am currently using Imate JasJam with original rom with wm5. Every now and then I have a problem writing from the keyboard. When I slide the keyboard to type any msg or email, the pressing of the keys doent do anything, then I have to soft reset or it will be fine after sometiem. Anyone having same problem, what could be the cause.
Same Jasjam Keybaord problem and internet explorer
I am having the above mentioned problem for quite a while now and nobody seems to help. Please explain if you got some information of jasjam keyboard problem. Also having problem with pocket internet explorer, after browsing some time i get script error that says that script is slowing and explorer hangs for some time. Please help.
If you're using i-mate's English ROM installed then try the latest.
Latest Rom
I am using imates latest rom for jasjam but still the same problem, and whats the solution for internet explorere certificate error.
any solution to this issue as of yet? I just got my i-mate jasjam and am already having this issue quite frequenty.
A soft reset does seem to fix it although the backlighting on the keyboard seems to disappear aswell and the soft reset doesnt fix this.
This has only happends to me once.
Soft-reset did the job, and it hasnt happend again.
Running on XDA Live .20
What third-party apps you have installed? Do you still have the same problems after a fresh hard reset before installing extra apps? Regarding problems with PIE, try the latest Opera beta.
Anyone has a solution for this case ?
I just bought imate jasjam on 2 days ago, and the keyboard not function as well.
I did the soft reset, and keyboard back to normal for several hours, and then happen again.
I did the hard reset too, but the problem still appear.
Anyone can help me ?
Thanks

In that case, take the phone back. And if you can, get a different phone.
(There's too many guys out there with white screens and buttons not working)
I did, swapped by the store with the new one. After 24 hours, same problem appears I am very disappointed with this product....
I think this one's a common problem. I faced this issue with my Dopod 838Pro a lot too (with original Dopod WM5 ROM), but the problem seems to have lessen with WM6. Tried tapping the OK key on the keyboard a few times and see if the keyboard returns to control?
My friend has a Dopod 838 pro since the first release, but he never had a problem like this, even he still using an original WM5... Am I wrong if I say that the I-mate JASJAM was a refurbish version of Dopod 838 ?
Hi I have an i-mate JamIN
Ive been using this phone and my JASJAM.
My JASJAM died and ive sent it off for repair I put my SIM back into my JamIN, I turn it on and i get a PIN Screen and timer above counting upwards.
Ive never ever put a PIN in this device. You can put in a (wrong) PIN and it wont time/boot you out. Its not a PUK code or anything. This happens with and without a sim card in.
Can anyone help as i cant seem to bypass this. Ive searched this forum but cant see anything on the surface .. also tried the wiki.
(yes the phone is mine and i have receipts etc etc etc)
I did an upgrade to the latest i-mate genuine ROM about 4-5 months ago and it was all fine. Never put a cooked ROM into the JamIN (JASJAM all the time )
* BUMP *
What no one out there has any ideas?
hey mate,
i have a prophet and my young lady also has one she upgraded hers and after a few days had the exact same problem after trying to change a registry setting.
the only thing that solved it was a hard reset im afraid...(comm + Cam button and press reset)

Sweet thanks
Please note ... if you setup a PIN or settings like E-Mail Accound ... you must Shutdown you PDA and start again. This write the settings back to Rom. If you do this you can lost a lot of settings.
After a hard reset on my hard spl'd X1 with generic UK rom my vibration is fooked.
on startup after a soft reset or power on it just goes click, for calls, sms and mms etc. it does the same thing.
Anyone else experienced the same problem and has a work around?
It looks like I may have to give it another hard reset and hope it works then, but only as a last resort.
But I doubt that would fix it as it seems like a hardware fault.
same problem, hard reset did not help for me. I returned it for a repair/replacement. 1 week to wait...
I have organised a replacement X1 that is coming on friday.
Can't believe the vibration unit just packed up in less than 3 weeks.
I hope it is not a common fault
I am not convinced about the torch problems.
My vibrate was working fine until I replaced the O2 ROM with hard spl and then the new generic UK ROM. Everything else seems fine - just no vibrate.
The new ROM does not seem to solve the Active Sync problems of sync between 2 PCs, though I believe that this is a Windows Mobile 5.1 issue.
Also, the new ROM does not seem to help the X1 get an O2 signal in locations where the XDA Orbit (I & II) never had a problem.
Any help apreciated.
Ian
i have the same problem,after hard reset didnt work the vibrator any more
when you turn on your X1, it vibrates for a while (very short one to indicate it's turned on)
is it vibrating at that time?
Have you by any chance installed hTorch? Seems to have crippled my SEX1's vibration function(great program nonetheless). Off to the repair shop
