You have not given us any relevant information at all to help with troubleshooting your device. You won't get any helpful answers until you at least give us some information such as but not limited to:
Your Carrier
Your Rom version
Your Radio version
Are you CID unlocked
Are you SIM unlocked
What apps do you have installed
What today screen plugins are you using
How often does the lockup happen
Your IPL/SPL
Are you a G3 or G4
What have you read to try and help yourself first
And as you will probably hear alot of read read read. I would suggest that before you do anything more drastic than a hard reset of your device you read all the stickies in this forum, virtually every question that you can come up with has been asked and answered multiple times in those threads.
The pda didnt fall, if u asking that
ROM: 2.21.2.6 WWE
Radio: 02.19.11
CID: unlocked
SIM: unlocked
Apps instaled: Airscanner antivirus, WifiFoFum,
Webcamera plus, DivX player, Pocket Ringo, Monopoly, XCPUScalar,
Flash player ActiveX, Net CF 2.0, PTvncWM5, pmClean, Resco explorer,

Today scrn plugins:
iLauncher, SPB phone suite
The lockup startd after these freezing's, and it dont stops.
I'v got G4.
I reading this forum but didint found anything, that why posted
If I read that right, I think maybe he has a stuck key (the right soft key). There may be some dirt or something holding the key down. You might try shutting the phone off and then gently pressing the key repeatedly until you feel it come loose or use a toothpick and clean in between the keys. Dont get too proddy with it though, you don't want to damage anything. If that doesn't help, somewhere on here is the manual for taking your wizard apart and you can clean it that way.
Ok I'll try that

Hi I am hoping someone can point me in the right direction.
I love my S200 it is perfect in every way, just lately after installing mNotes though i have had numerous problems, which seem to be only cured temporally by hard resetting the device.
I reset the device then within the next 1- 2 days I have lost my Bluetooth connection, it all seems OK but you cannot turn it on, when you click OK and go back and check both the Bluetooth on and discoverable boxes have had the crosses removed.
This problems also seems to extend to the sound when you turn it up, the phone turns it down.
And activesync just seems to stop working requiring a hard reset.
It almost like even after hard resetting the phone keeps hold of some of the old settings, is there a way of making it factory default apart from a hard reset, ie a HARD HARD reset ?
I need to get the mNotes working to stop my company forcing me to have a blackberry, but at this rate my device is hard rest almost every 24hrs.
Also how the hell can you back the device up now, in the old Activesysnc you had the option but now its gone !!!
Here’s hoping some one has the answer.
Cheers
Could you please tell how you hard reset your device? What version is your ROM?
I hard reset the device by pressing in both camera and record buttons and then pressing the stylus into the hole in the bottom, hold the record button in and let the other out, it then gives you the choice press sned to reset or any other button to escape.
The Rom is 2.9.7.24 WWE
Date 2/9/06
Radio 02.07.20Protocol 413.1.03
Ext rom 2.9.7.106
Cheers
It's quite unlikely that any settings from installed programs could remain after a hard reset.
After the next hard reset, I would try to use the phone without any program installation to make sure that it works under its default settings. If problems come back, then you may have a defective device and would have to return it back to your customer support. If there is no problem I would then try to install program one by one to make it clear which program causes the problem. Good luck!
Bluetooth not working
Also seem to have the same sort of problem.
Bluetooth works ok for several days and then for no reason refuses to connect to my bluetooth car kit and have to do a hard reset and start agn.
This has happened several times now.
Device is UK Orange M600 Standard rom etc.
Was wondering if to flash with a different rom maybe i-mate to see if this cures it. any ideas anyone.
Khuanchai
This is what I have done for the last 6-7 days, it is now becoming very frustrating. Even my old MDA did not require this much attention.
Now thinking about putting in the latest Dopod Rom.
Hard reset last night , no bluetooth now and Activsysnc no longer works.
So I supose its another h-reset or an upgrade ??????
Agree with you to try to upgrade it to the most recent Dopod 818Pro ROM (ROM version: 2.15.13.27 WWE). I have been using this new ROM for a while without any serious problems.
I'm not sure exactly why it's happening, the last thing i remember doing before this problem occurred was uninstall some programs, and decrease the text size in settings.
But everytime I power on the handset, it will boot up fine. But then the activesync information screen (the one that shows your recent syncronizations) will pop up, and my phone freezes up right there. It's pretty much unavoidable at this point, everytime I reset my phone its the same problem. I'm able to do a soft reset at this point, but that's pretty much it.
If it's any help, one of the programs I removed was pTravelAlarm (Burr oak software) i got rid of that because i was getting a "Cannot execute \Windows\pTAmgr.exe" Notification Error during startup, which now that I mention it, the error still pops up even after i removed it.
Is there anyway to perform a hard reset without having to be in windows, or connected through activesync?
Or am i pretty much boned at this point.
You don't need or want to be connected to Active sync when doing a hard reset!
Hard reset is pressing both soft keys at the same time as poking the stlus in the soft reset hole. This takes device (after some menu screens) back to the way you got it originally.

ah, ok, i was under the impression that the "Reset" key was actually on the screen. yes im a silly newbie . Thanks!

Use this thread if you have problems with hard reset.
Mike
I did a hard reset, and its working just fine. Though i do think i'll be updating the ROM, seeing as i've had many problems with the phone freezing up and recycling itself under the OEM ROM. Thanks again

Hi,
seems I have nailed down one situation, when trion refused to boot through. Whenever I have WLAN active and the system hangs (happened last time today when trying to start up avantgo) its very likely the xda won't boot correctly after soft reset.
Usually I solved it by going to bootloader and softreset again. Today this didn't help, also booting with and without SIM/battery in all combinations didn't help.
So I connected the phone in bootloader mode and sent some commands via mtty.
Don't know why, but this helped the phone to boot again. Weird.
Now - is there a way to switch off WLAN via mtty in case it happens again?
Dirk
P.S.: never give up when the xda hangs, I refuse to use a hard reset (unfortunately it required xx reboot trials and 1 hour of my time...)
Hi,
still there are occasions, where my TyTN hangs at Windows Mobile screen while booting. I couldn't find any system behind it...
I had several suspicions:
- HTweakC while Power Saver Tweak was enabled,
- pBar, when being set to automatically load,
In both cases, removing this options seemed to help, but shortly after that the hangs came up again.
Did anybody else also experience frequently hangs while booting and could isolate some reasons for that?
P.S.:
I know some of the hangs are related with today plugins. The only I have currently is Birthdays 1.2.10. I just removed this as well, but the XDA seems to hang after the reboot again.
How likely are hangs at bootup time hardware related?
Is it a common problem with AKU2.3 and could an upgrade to 3.3 help?
I just don't want to mess around and waste a lot of time - would you suggest to send it in for repair?
(My operator claims, that I should do a hard reset. After that everything is fine. But why should I use an XDA without adding any more program and risking that behaviour?)

I have only ever had one hang on boot up. I have AKU 2.3. Used to get lots of freezing at other times, but it appears I have cured all that and it has settled down very nicely. I also have several today plugins spread over multiple desktops using WAD.
I just wonder (and I am no expert here) whether you may have a little corruption in boot up files. Have you actually tried a hard reset yet?
Having learned several lessons I took mine back to scratch with a hard reset and used SPB backup at each stage as I reloaded software. This way I am able to return to a nicely working setup (within 5 minutes) if I load something duff along the way.
Mike
Yep, did a hard reset and installed some programs. I will try to adopt your way of adding programs. Even if it takes a lot of extra time. Now I need at least 5-6 soft resets, until one works.
However - did anyone ever notice, that sometimes between the operator splash screen and windows mobile splash screen, there is a scrambled splash screen with vertical lines in windows mobile splash screen colors?

Do I understand you correctly - even after hard reset you still need several soft reset attempts to get it going?

Hi,
no... if its "O2 virgin" ROM its working.
okay, seems to answer my question regarding HW problem. It seems not to be one.
This is the SW I then installed (maybe in different order):
- Avantgo
- Flashplayer 7
- tcpmp
- SPB Gprs monitor (came with the hardware)
- Clearvue PDF viewer (came with the hardware)
- Birthdays plugin
- HTweakC
- SK Tools
- pBar
I removed battery and communication manager Icon from frontscreen with HTweakC and tried the battery saving tweak. More I can't remember.
I will pay attention now with setting it up again. Did some of the above ring a bell?

Nothing obvious but I wonder about pbar given it appears to monitor a lot of actions and will load at start up.
I'd also do the following with backups before and after. It's a pain doing some of this from scratch if things go pear shaped.

Hi, i just done a master reset on my cingular 8125, and now i can't do anything to the phone. everytime i put the battery in it can only go to the first screen. which is the screen with IPL, SPl, GSM, and OS.
Does anyone have a solution? I have this phone for over 6 months, I done an unlock to use with T-mobile, but i didn't do the unlock to update.
same thing is happening to me.
download the t-mobile 2.26.10.2 rom from their site and force bootloader mode [turn off, hold power and camera, and connect to USB and run the updater.
when i do this, it doesnt write the ROM image...
i have flashed like... 7 times in the past hour...
Don't know if this will help you, but the same thing happened on my 8125 after pasting a "power off" program to my windows/start up folder. Hold the Comm and Voice record buttons (on top sides of device), and at the same time use your stylus to soft reset (small hole below Ir port), a message should come up telling you to send to set back to factory settings. Push the green phone button to send. This is like a hard rest without entering the hard rest code 1234. This should get the device operating normal again. You will have to re-install apps that you had in the main memory,since your device will be new again. Give this a try. May I ask why you had to do a hard reset?

i done it, but is said failure to format and go back to the first screen

That means there is a hardware issue with the phone.
took it to cingular they said software
Meaning -- not covered under their warranty exchange?? Just curious as to whether you got a replacement phone. . .

You may need to do this a few times. It should work as it's the ONLY way.

If they say its software, then tell them to flash the Cingular ROM on it. If it works, thank them and you have a working phone. If it doesn't they should replace it. DO a search for this error here (and with Google) but I seem to recall others getting this found their phone had a memory (hardware) problem where the flash just won't take.
You might have better luck talking to a Cingular Tech online. I've called a copule of times with issues with my phone and they are always like "We'll authorize a replacement and send it out tomorrow". I've stopped them each time as I know the isue I'm calling about isn't hardware (one time it was for the 160x120 MMS pics). Over the phone they can only debug so far so they are quicker to do a replacement.
Not sure thats what you want to do, but its an option...
You might also try flashing the Wizard Love or Button Roms on it. Those will sometimes flash when others won't (if you do the Button ROM you will have to CID unlock again though) (we are talking a G3 here, right?)
Links for those are in this thread (as well as instrucitons):

I installed some software, a voice activation software, and now it crashes everytime i try to navigate to settings to remove the software. I have to reset it from the back everytime.
How can I sort this out
Sounds like time for a hard reset?

I'm fairly certain you are going to have to hard reset too. Sorry
i just suffered the same fate thanks to my MT4.
btw , if you have sktools, you can try the remove program from there too
How do I do a hard reset? Wasn't that only done through the settings option on the phone?
Hard reset means you return the Xperia to "out of the box" state ...you loose all data and programs
1. turn off the phone
2. Hold both right and left buttons (the hardware buttons that stick out a bit, right under the screen)
3. press power button, while still holding the others
4. follow on screen instructions (to press "R" to confirm reset, slide out and use the hardware keyboard)

I had exactly the same problem this week.
I had bought the program and installed it successfully. However after installing it again after a hard reset, it did exactly as you describe, crashing when you try to access settings.
I think the version I had purchased was MSVoiceCommand_1.6.17913.CAB. There is a version getting around these forums (MSVC_US_PPC_1.6.19209.bengalih.CAB) which did the trick for me.
Hope this helps

I'm scared installing any other voice command now, I've reset the phone too many times.
IS this software even that good?
I had the same problem too
In lieu of installing a 3rd party software (eg sktools, memmaid, etc) you could try uninstalling it via active sync. Or maybe remove it from the startup programs then soft reset.
