NEED HELP MDA GOING CRAZY(willing to pay)

My MDA IS GOING CRAZY!! Every time I press the power button to take the phone off of the standby mode the phone seems to randomly just open up contacts and then try to delete one of the ones that are first on the list. Also the two soft buttons aren't working. the keyboard, some of the letters aren't working either, and every time i press the left softkey on the keyboard the menu on the right always opens up when I am on the internet. For some reason it just started acting like that when I increased the size of the cache. This one time all the keys worked for like 5 minutes the other day, then they went back to not working. I already did a virus scan and nothing came up, so yea. I am willing to pay if needed to the person through paypal, whoever helps me fix up my mda. NEED HELP!!!!

Have you tried updating to a newer firmware?

Are there any magnets in the immediate vicinity of the MDA?
I know it sounds crazy but even the magnet on the included t-mobile case can do things like switch the screen to landscape or bring up the calender.
It's just a thought and a possibility.

nope no magnets, and the rom is the 2.6 one, the newest rom, dunno what wrong with the phone, im willing to pay to fix it up. whoever helps me fix it up, i will pay them.

if i were you, (thankfully i'm not because i have had enough problems with my XDA!! lol) i'd do a hard reset, but i'll assume you can't do that because of the mind of its own issue, so power down the phone, and leave it on charge so there's atleast 50% battery in the phone. meanwhile, goto the t-mobile website and get the latest rom (or re downlownload the rom that's already installed...2.6 i think u said?) and try to upgrade using bootloader. todo this, hold the camera and the power buttons until a funny screen comes up, run the update utility, and then plug in the phone to the firewire cable (then onto the usb) on the first screen of the program (if that makes sense). then run the update utility and that should work.
there's no reason why it shouldn't. i had a similar problem with a se w800i about a year ago, and it turned out a button was stuck down, so check that.
i hope you get it sorted, as i kno how frustrating these phones can be.

Ok, you need to give more info. What IPL/SPL, Radio, version, etc. etc. What other steps did you follow? Downgrade to 1.08 unlock? CID unlock? Upgrade to 2.26? Then flash whatever ROM you are using...and which ROM is it? What other apps have you loaded? How old is the phone? Who is your service provider? What is your bank account number? (ok maybe we don't need that one haha) What SD card are you using? Have you dropped the phone?
--M

uuh, i haven't dropped the phone at all. Its unlocked, and I changed the network settings so that I get unlimited internet and other data transfers for free. I have Tmobile prepaid. Other than that I am going to try to hardware reset it, tried it already, it didn't work. So, I will try to update the rom, the phone is unlocked, so if I update the rom hopefully it wont become locked again.

It won't become locked again, it sounds like a hardware problem it is most likely a button or key on the keyboard is getting stuck and/or shorting every so often causing this behaviour.

Have you recently loaded any apps? Maybe changed the key settings? Deleted a file by mistake?
How large did you make the cache? What program did you use to change the cache? Did you change anything else besides the cache?

uuh i made the cache to 4 MB and I did change the settings for the IE but I changed them back, I used Resco Registry Editor, also I went to this website to find the registry tweaks http://www.pocketpctweaks.com/pocketpc_tweaks/
Then I went to the 2 performace tweaks:
http://www.pocketpctweaks.com/pocketpc_tweaks/speed_up_your_pocketpc
http://www.pocketpctweaks.com/pocketpc_tweaks/increase_performance_speed
I also did this one on the IE using Resco Registry Editor:
http://www.pocketpctweaks.com/pocketpc_tweaks/change_pocket_internet_explorer_6
Other than that I haven't done any other ones, I tried overclocking by using a software called Omap Clock, but that software sucked, it would be overclocked for a while, and it would return back to the default speed whenever I would press the power button to put it on standby.

if i were you..
if you are willing to pay for those who ever fix you phone, i'd rather pay my nearest service center to fix my device.

Help: I done a master reset on cingular 8125 now it stuck on Start Screen

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?

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):

Phone Problems - please help...

Randomnly when I press the green phone button or select Phone from my Start menu, I do not get the keypad, instead I just get a black box on the screen. They keys are "on" the screen - ie I can dial a number by guessing where the keys should be displayed, but unfortunately this is no good!! Any suggestions?

I have a similar problem, sometimes I get nothing no phone pad, just the today screen. I did a soft reset and it works again try doing that and see what happens? Do you have any phone apps that might be confilcting with the OEM phone apps?

Yup, a soft reset fixes it. It occurs approx after 10times of using the phone (although I havent actually counted) after a soft reset

Which ROM's are you guys running? Is it Helmi's 1.1?

no, i am completely standard on a UK O2 Rom

using O2 standard ROM with radio 1.04.xx, I just got it though. So I'm still just trying to figure out the device before I start tweaking it. SuperCarl, I don't know what to tell you, I soft reset mine and all was fine. Do you have any dial-pad skins that you are using maybe?

soft reset alleviates the problem, but it recurs.
I am not using a dial pad skin (unless one is bundled with o2)

Cannot access the setting

Hi guys, newbie here. I have a problem with my T-Mobile Wing. Few days ago, I can no longer access the setting on my Wing, everytime I click on Start -> Setting, my phone freezes. I tried hard reset (already 3 times) and still no joy, any clue why it happened and any clue on how to fix it?
Thanks in advance,
N3O
ps. my T-Mo Wing is wm6 and only had HTC Home installed on it

Are you sure you actually hard reset didn't soft reset? Hard resets basically rewrite the o.s. over the old o.s. (holding down the two select buttons labeled "-" and pressing reset). If that still doesn't work, you have something fishy going on, but seeing how it seems to be a software issue, I can't imagine hard resetting wouldn't fix this. If this still doesn't work, try flashing to a new rom.

yes, I did, I had to re-install everything I had. I even need to enter my device ID through registry hack, because I can't access the setting to enter owner's name.

Hmmm, that's kind of strange, but maybe you are using a custom rom? I would try flashing to another rom.

no doug, it's the original T-Mobile ROM, that's why I got confused too. Usually when something bad happens, I hard-reset it and things would go back to normal again. I can only access the setting if I change the battery, and the setting will be accessible again for a couple minutes and unaccessible again after that. Weird huh?

That is def strange. Never heard of something like that. It def sounds like a software issue, but you ruled that out by reflashing the os. odd....

Jade clone hard reset issues

Hey guys,
I think there are some issues with the recent clones not hard resetting. I was a very happy jade clone owner until it happened to me as well. My phone stopped booting and I wanted to hard reset but it wouldn't let me. It seems I'm not the only one either;
http://www.dealextreme.com/forums/Forums.dx/Forum.25045~threadid.439141
http://www.dealextreme.com/forums/Forums.dx/Forum.25045~threadid.464585
I suspect the [green + red + on button] never worked for my clone in the first place and this one has a different button combination but I never tested it before running into issues. We know there's a few different versions of the phone. Mine has the following specifics;
- Unlike other phones, when starting up, mine shows the words "smart mobility" before showing the windows boot logo.
- The phone says that it has a QUALCOMM 7225 @ 528mhz processor (this could perhaps be spoofed in windows to make it look more like a real jade?)
- Mine had a menu option called "GPS Setting" in the settings menu while some other people don't (may be pre-installed software, something to do with A-gps)
At least two things that could be done (maybe more?);
1. Would someone with a working phone similar to mine (especially if it says "smart mobility" at boot) to test the [green + red + on button] hard reset method? Someone else will have to tell you if you can cancel out of hard resetting after testing because I have never been successful.
2. Perhaps someone with Chinese knowledge could look on the chinese forums like 999ppc.com if they have something to say about it. Or maybe ask the Chinese sellers. Most webshops seem to be resellers and know nothing about the product.
Just when I started falling in love with my phone, she dies a horrible death. Oh what tragedy I would appreciate any input you guys might have. Thanks a lot guys.

Interesting info
Guys, I found some interesting information;
Holding green + OK and then pressing power brings up the "calibrating" screen.
Holding red + OK and then pressing power brings up the "downloading" screen.
Does anyone else have this too?
In both modes you can connect the phone to USB and Windows will try to recognize the phone but fails. I highly suspect they are both meant for sending data from PC to the phone and vice versa because the phone turns off as soon as you disconnect the cable. Anyone know what these modes do? Can this perhaps be useful for recovery?
Also, wasn't holding green + OK and then pressing power supposed to be the way to install a new Windows Mobile rom? It seems more and more likely that this phone has a different hard reset command but I haven't found it yet...
This is my first PPC so I would really appreciate any input you guys have on this. Thanks.

Solution found
After a LOT of trying out different button combinations, I finally found it. I was convinced that the button combinations on this phone were simply different and they were!
To hard reset the phone to manufacturer settings:
volume down key (on side of phone) + RED key + power button
You will see a menu where you have to press the up-key (not the volume up key but the up key on the directional pad) to confirm. Next it will look like the phone is starting up and hanging as usual, but just WAIT. Do NOT pull out the battery or anything. It is working. After a short while the phone will turn itself off. Now press the red reset button next to the battery and it will start!
BONUS:
You can install a different Windows Mobile rom with the following key combination:
volume down key (on side of phone) + GREEN key + power button
You have to have the rom (SMART.UPR) on your SD card (non-SDHC, fat16 formatted). I did NOT try this but it should be relatively safe as you can always do a hard reset if you screw up. Since these phones are different, the normal roms *might* not work, but I suspect they will. Personally I don't care for WM6.5 so I'm not gonna try it.

Glacius0,
Thanks for the info. I believe I've the same version phone as you do, got mine for a week now - only setup phone, wifi, weather so far.
I see the same features you've listed, i.e "smart mobility" at start up, QUALCOMM 7225 @ 528mhz processor? and "GPS Setting" in system settings.
So that's the reason the various hard-reset button combos in manual and DX forum don't work. Your button combo worked on my 2nd try. By the way this is providing the same result as the "clean boot" routine in system settings for me.
Unfortunately both methods of hard-reset are not removing the pre-installed touchflo version V1. I'm getting errors installing version 2.0 over version 1. I guess V1 was burned/flashed-in with Win6.1 in the ROM? I think my next step is flashing it with a clean Win6.1 in order to proceed.

After a hard reset it will automatically start installing a bunch of software like opera 9.5 and what not. Maybe you can cancel this by pressing the red button or the X in the corner and then it won't install touchflo. Personally I use SPB mobile shell so I didn't run into any problems. Installing a fresh WM6.1 oughta work though. Let me know how it went.

mine work when i press green button + red button + power
but it show an screen saying
UPDATE MENU
1-Update logo
2-Update OS
3-Update Eboot
4-Format User Space
5-Return
i tried every option in the menu
i put the smart.upr in the SD fat16 but it doesn't work

I have the same Qualcomm 7225, initial logo is Smart Mobility and then HTC (or maybe HTC comes before Smart Mobility), clone bought from DX.
Have not tried any flashing yet.

Oh no, after I installed an app, my phone is now stucked at the HTC logo (after the Smart Mobility logo and the little music played).
I have the Qualcomm 7225 version frm DX.
I remove battery and reset, but the phone stucks at the HTC logo (after the music).
Doing ALL the reset keys combination in this thread did not reset the phone (whether the phone is on or off before the combination is pressed and hold down).
Can somebody please let me know what else should I tried to reset/reflash this phone ?

Hey Sintoo,
I just saw your thread on Dealextreme as well. Your phone does seem a little different because I don't get a sound or HTC logo when booting up. Interesting that "volume UP + volume DOWN + power" does something for you. I would never have thought of trying that. It doesn't seem to be the combination to hard reset your phone though. It does however show that there's some functionality to be found if you get the right button combination, so I suggest you try a lot of them. I'll give you a few pointers (the phone should be off btw, but I think you know that by now):
1. It seems that almost all button combinations involve 2 buttons + the power button. So try this first. Later you could try more buttons but it's not likely that this is necessary.
2. The 4-point directional pad (around the center button) doesn't seem to be used too often but sometimes it is, so try that too after trying the other buttons.
3. Some phones also involve the red reset button inside the phone, but I don't think it applies to this one because all it seems to do is cut the power from the battery. You might wanna try it as a last resort.
4. You could write down a scheme on which you mark all the button combinations you can try. This sounds excessive but I had the same problem as you and I almost forgot to use the volume buttons because I was just trying random stuff.
Your next best bet is figuring out how the updating menu that you found works but I think that's gonna be a lot tougher to figure out. It seems like you either got the wrong rom file or the wrong file name. Try placing a dummy SMART.UPR file and see if it does anything different. Also there's a program called TouchRUU which supposedly let's you update your phone through USB in some cases but I've never gotten it to work. Good luck and make sure to report back here for future users with similar issues!
PS: Don't worry too much because dealextreme has a good return-policy, so even if you can't fix it I'm sure they'll take the phone back and replace it for you. I've been buying from them for years.

..
Thanks Glacius0.
I will keep trying.
