I have a huge problem with my MDA compact III. The problem is, I have to hardreset my device almost everyday. Thats because all of a sudden the device acts strange and won't open almost every program. When I softreset the device then, the device won't pick u a signal. In stead of showing how strong the signal is, it diplays a !. Also after the softreset sms, mms or my mailaccount is deleted. I have never spoken anyone with the same problem or anyone with a solution. I only have Windows Live Messenger installed, but many people have and none of them have my problem so that doesn't seeme to cause this problem. It's really annoying and it's getting worse by the day. Yesterday I had to reset my device 3 times(!).. If anyone knows this problem or more important, knows a sollution, please share it with me cause i'm close to driving my car over my MDA

Are you doing an actual hard reset where you hold the two soft keys on either side of the chome wheel, then hit the sunken button on the left side with your stylus while holding the two soft keys and then confirming with the green talk key? If so, sounds like a hardware problem.
No not using the softkeys. I always perform a hardreset in settings menu, i don't know how it's called in english but in dutch is called 'opslag wissen'. Sometimes I get an error saying cold boot could not be completed blabla and then i have to confirm to hardreset.
Tom
Sounds like you are using the 'clear storage' option. Try the actual hard reset procedure and see if that fixes things...thats how I do it.
I just performed a hardreset using the the softkeys. I hope this will make a difference and solves my problem. If not, my MDA gets his first swimminglesson and I'll contact my insurancecompany.
I'll let you know it worked out. Thanks for you're help

As far as I know, this 'opslag wissen' is the equivalent of a hard reset. So it should not make any difference, unfortunately.
no it didn't make a difference. had to be hardreset allready. going over to plan b, allready filling the bathtub.
If you do teach it to swim, however, please post pictures.

Something's weird with my belowed S100. The other day I tried to install a freeware - My|Phone 1.5 by JGui - which instantly killed my S100 and wouldn't let it boot up at all (Stay away from that plugin!!!). So I had to do a Hard reset (both powerbutton and pin), and the reinstall the most needed apps. So far so good.
That's when I noticed that the "Button Lock" didn't work properly, I had enabled the "Button Lock" under settings > systems as I always prefer to have the keys locked. But... Now it doesn't work.. Or to be exact - sometimes it does.
I've tried setting it to "Do Not Lock Buttons", then softreset, and then changing it back to "Lock Buttons" again, yet another soft reset and nopes... It seems to work sometimes, but then again, sometimes if I press the green key twice it starts dialing (but the screen remains dark though).
I tried performing yet another hard reset and formatting my SD-card and tried the "Button Lock" before installing any apps - still the same beahviour.. What should I do????
Help!
I too have this problem, and was told that it was due to the Microsoft Voice command software.
I have since given up trying to resolve this issue, and have bought a krussell case which minimises unwanted button presses as an added bonus.
If you get a solution for this let us know because it is REALLY frustrating.
Well, this problem occurs even if I haven't installed anything after a hard reset - so I can clearly say that it doesn't has anything to do with MS Voice Commander (which I'm thinking about to buy and try out)...
I've emailed Qtek's swedish support (Brightpoint.se) to see if they have any solutions. So far no reply...
So I am not the only one who have experienced that my pocket suddenly started talking to me? Nice to know
I have noticed that after a hard reset the button lock is turned off. Doing a restore from Sprite won't update this with your previous setting, so you ALWAYS have to do it manually after a hard reset.
Well, I could live with that - IF it would work... Doesnt't work properly at all as I've described above...
Hi i cant seem to enable the vireless netowrk on my i-mate jasjar. It worked in the beginning but now it just blinks realy fast when i press the button to enable it.
The only thing i can think of is that i installed the extended rom thing from buzz...it was that cab file i found in the comments on his site.
pls can anybody help me with this?
Please help me ppl. I tryed reverting the settings for the extended rom and that did not help eather.
Please i really need som help here guys
I had my wifi stop working at one point for unknown reasons. Soft resetting didn't fix the problem. It did start working again after a hard reset. It was not doing any fast blink like you describe, so it may be that whatever your problem is has no relation to whatever my problem was. I don't know if you have tried hard reset, but in any event I'm hoping one of the wizards here will have better advice for you.
Hehe by fast blinking i mean when i press the "wifi" button in the wireless manager. It just blinks breafly to indicate that i pressed it..but it does not turn blue like its suposed to and it does not turn wifi on like its suposed to.
Had hoped i wouldnt have to do a hard reset as i have my device set up just perfectly now
So if anybody has some tips here ill try anything.
btw what is sddeamon? i had sevreral of thouse in the notification que and i remoced all but one. could this be the problem?
OK, now I know what you mean, and unfortunately my problem was different. It would presumably turn on (button would change color) but not connect with anything, including access point that was no problem before. And sorry again since I don't know what that sddaemon thing is for sure. It might be related to the voice dial function, but I'm really not sure. Hard reset is definitely a pain. I've made a little cheat sheet for myself with all my tweaks to get things set up again. But it's a pain anyway. Part of the cost of being on the bleeding edge with these wonderful little machines.
so true so true. But since it seems that nobody else has this problem im a bit afraid that there might be a hardware problem.
Well only way to fighure it out is to do a hard reset!. Is there any way to back up WM5 like there was in 2003?
well i have now preformed a hard reset and that did not work. I also installed the imate rom twice (installed arabic first LOL) and that did not good eather.
So i guess there is a hardware issue with the phone itself...
Any thoughts?
Hi,
Have next problems. After every power-on:
1. opens outlook mail;
2. have keyboard and main buttons locked. Stilus-screen is OK.
after pressing e (internet explorer)button or comm.manager buttons everything is OK;
3. pressing center button in d-pad opens ScreenAlign (as after hardreset), and after completing this continues normally as expexted;
4. cann't hard reset, because Send button don't operates as p.2 above.
It is Qtek 9100 orign.
Have flashed Qtec, T-mobile and Jam latest roms, exact same behavior
Can anybody help?
And sorry my poor english language.
Tiit
Damn...
My wizard acts exactly the same..... I've spent couple of hours to see if there is any solution of this problem on the forum... Well, there isn't.....:/ NOONE wrote a single word.... Even something like "there is no way to fix it, flush your wizard in the toilet"... Experts...
I'm sorry for being so annoyed, anyway i still request for help and I would be grateful if someone could give a tip
try to flash one of the 6 or 6.1 ROMS perhaps? If that doesnt fix it, then I dont know what to tell you!
I have this issue too. The only thing that works is to keep pushing on, under and around the Lock button on-screen. It will eventually unlock itself but it takes quite a lot of tapping
hi guys, this might seem to be posted a lot of times but i havent found anyone who experienced the same problem as me. ive flashed a custom rom (not found in xda dev) and the phone went well for 3 weeks to a month.however, today(lunchtime) i had a problem i soft reset my device and i was stuck at the 2nd splashed screen. i dont think my hermes is bricked because i can do anything a normal hermes do before. (pda function, calls, sms) really no problem at all until today. ive done what the wiki said like
Problem 2: stuck on windows mobile screen
Try to soft reset with stylus and wait 5 minutes on the windows mobile screen to see if OS boots
If all you get is same windows mobile screen, remove the battery for some time (about 20 min should be enough) and put it again.
Again, if all you get is same windows mobile screen do a hard reset.
If doesn't solve the problem do a hard reset, but do not press spacebar to reboot after. Instead, do a soft reset with stylus when the device asks you to press spacebar.
Check if you might have the NO GSM Problem
well i cant go pass the 2nd splash screen so what i did was hard reset it. and problems gone. my concern is ive lost a lot of documents because of what happened. so i just wanna ask you guys what could be the problem and the solution to prevent this from happening again.
much respect to all here!
TIA
What do you do just before the problem occur?
best thing to do is hard reset you phone this will reinstall you OS and resolve the problem. You need to old the 2 top soft key and press the reset but with your stylus. This will then bring then take u into the hard reset mode. follow the prompts on ur screen by using your keyboard .
This will work as i have experienced the same problem
kind regards
Ash
Did u happen to
a) disable the bottom tray
or
b) set PIE cache to storage card?
Both tend to cause this, tho not in every case.

Ok,first of all,my english is not so good,but I think that you are going to understand me. And,before I explain my problem,thanks for your help.
So,Everything was great,but all of a suden my Tytn started to have some very iritating problems. Here are few:
1.When I am writing a text message,and I am using slide-out keyboard,some of the keys are not writing at all. For example: I type letter "a",but nothing shows.
2.I try to dial a number or locate a contact in my contact list,all of a suden,my tytn starts typing (random) letters,like "sakljdfbhaoskdIHBDSDAF" and I cant stop it! I have to soft reset my device. What is weird-those problems are not always there. They are very unpredictable. This problem happens also when I try to write new text message. It just starts to write random letters. For example: "Dear friend,can we meknsdfkjasndfksjdfnkjsd...." Very Iritating!
3.After I power on my device,and windows "boot" up,first screen/window that I see is a dial screen-and I cant close it! It takes 10 minutes or soft reset to get me to Today screen.
4.Sometimes,very rarely,my screen/colors dramaticaly change! Colors on the screen go like a negative or like they are inverted. Why?!
5.My camera works but most of pitcures that I take have green stripes/lines!
6.And my buttons (up,down,left right,start,ok button,video call,call,drop call) are not working!
Ok,very weird problems,dont you think?
My OS version is Schaps 4.22,I changed it to 4.31,the newest one I thing,but nothing,same problems! Also tried the option "clear storage". Nothing. When changing the rom didnt help,i returned to official htc tytn rom,but everything is the same. Can anyone help me? I spend one year colecting money to buy this ( till now fantastic ) device,please tell me that I can do something. What is the problem? Thanks.

it is very difficult to see exactly what happens. But first though is that a connector or something like that is disconnected inside the pda. If under warranty, it would be better to send it for repair. If not, you could try to open it. But it is risky...
