My O2 XDAII is 10 weeks old. After using the internet and the screen freezing I SOFT-RESET it. Now the screen will only flash with the O2 logo between the backlight coming on and off and a few letters/numbers at the bottom right of the screen. Ive never had any problems before...I cant soft-reset, hard-reset or (it seems) to be able to charge it. The only way in which it stops 'flashing' is to take out the battery. Is there anything I can do at home?? (as you probably guessed Im a novice at all this!)
Any help would be greatly appreciated
Many thanks, Rob
This happened to me just yesterday, although It happened in different circumstances. Baiscally, I went to turn the phone on and it wouldn't (with any button.) I tried a soft reset and all that happened was the O2 screen appeared with the backlight flashing on and off every 10secs.
Before trying a hard reset I waited to see what would happen when i connected it to the cradle at work. Soon as I connected it. it switched back on, but it was as if it had done a hard reset (ie everything I have installed was erased. Good job I made a backup!).
Basically, it seemed to rectify the problem once connected to the cradle, which hasn't happened to you I know, but i thought I'd let you know that I got the same "symptoms".
Any help is greatley appreciated. I just bought the xda2 a week ago and it worked fine until yesterday. At first the phone just wouldnt dial. Then it would freeez. After a soft reset, it wouldnt go past the first "o2" screen and would just hang. The blue light started flashing eventhough I never enabled Bluetooth. The system didnt start past that screen and it also wouldn't shut off. Even after a hard reset it still had the same symptoms(it froze at the bootup screen and had flashing blue light). Around 30 minutes later after trying to turn it on and off. I finally started. But then it happened again today. Thanx in advance
If it still displays these symptoms after a hard reset then it look like a hardware fault. Only other thing i can think of is if you have a memory card inserted that is upsetting the system.
It doesnt have a memory card. I was afraid it might be hardware related. Any idea on how to have it repaired from the US
Hi all,
I have had this problem earlier but a hard reset solved it... Now I might have to do a hard reset again to solve it, and so lose all my data
. Everytime I put the jasjar on external power (adapter or usb) the backlight switches off.
. When I soft reset, the backlight switches back on, but after the logo screen it switches off.
. The only way to get backlight to stay switched on is to keep it away from mains (ie running off batteries only)
. As soon as I put it back to power supply, the backlight goes off, I can stll see the screen, but its very dark...
Anyone got this? This is an annoying and serious bug if it is, or maybe my actual device has a defect?
A response or turnaround trick will be most appreciated...
Thanks in advance

fiddling fixing
I managed to fix it for now by fiddling with the power controls and pressing several times the switch off and backlight on buttons... I wish this gadget was more reliable for the price tag... I wonder how the asus fares in that chapter...
Hmmm. Mine doesn't do this and I haven't heard anyone else complain of this. I hate to say it, but you may have a defective unit or maybe even a bad AC power adapter.
Yep no problem here. Looks like its time to get a RMA
backlight problem
Thanks.
It happened only twice,but since it is still under warranty I better get it looked at by i-mate, I am going to contact them and ask them to have a look at it...

Ok, I will try to make my probmen more clear...
I bought my Prophet (QTEK S200) in March and everything has been working fine (also bluetooth) till few weeks ago when, all of a sudden, my prophet start taking more than 4 minutes to boot. I try removing some hacks or uninstalling soem programs, but nothing. After few weeks I realise that actually also BT is not working: in comm manag, there should be an X on the BT button when turned off, but I see none; instead the BT icon is green but the blu led is not blinking. I try clicking on he BT button several times, but nothing changes: still the icon is green, no X and no blue led. I try also with SETTINGS > BLUETOOTH > MODE tab: I check the "Turn on BT" box and press ok, but nothing, because when go back to the tab the box is not checked anymore.
Yesterday I uninstalled an old version of Skype and installed the nw one, turned on my WIFI and chatted for a while: all ok. Then I open PIE and browse some sites and all of a sudden the prophet freezes. I soft reset (with the stylus) and guess what: the prophet takes less than 2 minutes to boot. I try to soft reset few more times: same fast boot. So I go and check the BT: it works properly now!!!!!
An finally I plug the USB cable to sync the prophet with Active Sync 4.2: sync is done. Then I soft reset again and guess what?!?!?! 5 minutes to boot and no BT working!!! SGRUNT!!!!!
Ok, I say, time for a hard reset: I press the two buttons on the left side and I use the stylus, press green button at prompt and hard reset starts. Guess what? The prophet takes 5 minutes to reach he windows logo and the first time wizard. I try 3 more times, same result. And when the prophet is up and running (after restore of original settings) BT is still not working...
I do not know what to think. To me it looks that the BT problem and the long boot are related. Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks
Try the Hardreset. If the device will work well after that - it is just software problem. If no - sorry...
As i said, I tried hard reser, and still not working

Hi there,
i'm also having lot of troubles with my Prophet.
My opinion, but not sure as many other are using it successfully, it that it comes from the A2DP patch.
It started by the phone feature. I can't use it without using the Bluetooth headset (without headset, i have only noise in the speaker, also in the headphone plugged on the bottom). Then it started with Bluetooth that woudln't turn on. So no way to make calls anymore (shame for a phone...). And from this evening, i see issues also with WLAN!!! I can't turn it on.
Hard reset, flashing a new ROM, Radio ROM doesn't change anything.
I am desperated, i now need to flash it back to German O2 ROM and give it to repair to O2. Hoping they will not see it has been flashed with other ROM.
btw: could someone taking German <please> find me an adress for an O2 shop near Aachen? I can't find by myself on the O2 web pages. Many thanks in advance.
NO BT!!!
thegios, I exactly have the same problem, did you find a solution to your problem? NO BT, 5 minutes boot up time!!!

telephone replaced... (under warranty luckly...)
it looks like the broken bluetooth affects somehow the boot procedure
Oh no... I have this exact same issue... so it must be the ad2p hack... did we all have this? My phone take 5 minutes to boot and no BT too.... exactly the same!!! check my threads~~!
I did no ad2p hack
m... so the dealer wasn't able to repair it? i already have a mother board replacement... i don't want another one...
repair? do u think that for them it's cheaper to repair than to replace?
the dealer we have here seems to beleive so... they refuse to give replacements. and all they do is provide shotty repairs so you have to keep going back. its frustrating. This phone has caused me a lot of headaches.
I bought it in a big mall, so what the shop did is to package it and send it to the dealer and in 8 days i got back my same phone with simply the WHOLE motherboard replaced, which means new rom, new mac address, new everything
only front and back cover are the same
maybe.... cos I found a tape to cover infrared, so maybe they kept nly front cover, since also the power button feels different (not it is harder to push it)
loki bluetooth problem

myself too !!!!!
i have done all you said but same problems
i noticed that when you got windows mobile screen if you dont see the blue light
you can anyway reboot cause you wont got bluetooth at the end of the boot
when i associate a bluetooth gps, it s sucks...
anyway i m in the same s**** .
i think it's a hardware problem....
waitin for any another experiment to solve this f*** problem...
its a hardware... I installed a new rom and bluetooth worked until it was reboot... and also it would stop working when i left the phone alone for a few hours... MB had to be replaced...
my prophet also needs more than 4 minutes to boot. but my bluetooth is working and i don't see any other error. what can i do?
So okay I did a soft-rest on my Charmer today and it didn't wake up again.
No LEDs, nothing on the screen. I don't think the battery was drained and it hasn't been near any water, been dropped or anything like that. If I plug it in it doesn't show it's charging. I've left it plugged in for hours, still nothing. No bootloader, no nothing.
I have realized the hard way how much I rely on it. I now have no music, no satnav, no phone, no diary.
If anyone knows how to revive it, please let me know.
Otherwise I'm off to get another one - maybe a Prophet this time!

Hi Pls buy the prophet which is available and can be serviced in your region.
I have already had a similar problem as of your in my prophet..
The phone just wont power on from standby..I resetted using stylus and from than (almost 3mths now) the prophet has not powered ON at all.
I have already used the wire trick and removing the batt for days and shoring the batt but no help....
VERDICT:buy prophet only which has warranty.
Wire trick?
What on earth is the wire trick?
I'd like to try it - see if I can get the thing to come back to life.
Anyway, now on a prophet - hopefully it wont happen again.
Thanks for replying.
I have a charmer that is dead too.
And It's the second time.
The first time I sent it to the warranty and they fixed it and sent it back.. full operational.
So it has to have some "trick" to revive it.
I still have 1 year os warranty so i'll send it again. But I really would like to know If is there any information to dismantle it or something like to unlock some mobiles you have to wire it in a special way to surpass some detection chip or something.
MDA Compact 2 dead, please help me moderator...
Hi, I have serious problem, and don´t know what to do. I flashed my MDA with WM6. It worked for 3 days. When I switched it off, and later on, I could only see booting itself, and then frozen picture of T-Mobile. I read about hard reset, which I did and after all process finished with "Format is failed". What can I do? Is there anything I can do? Thx
