S200 Hanging every now and then - JAMin, XDA Neo, S200 General

I have Qtek S200 for 3-4 months.
First I had wm5 2.20.7.34. The phone used to hang sometimes. Usualy if the wifi was on and I suspend it it will hand when I wake it up. The screen stays lit and no button/touchscreen works. The power button also wont work so I had to do SR.
I thought upgrading to wm6 will fix the problem and I tried pda mobiz 20.b3 and b4.
The phone still will hang sometimes. Finlay I installed Prophet Touch v6. Its great rom but it also hangs and sometimes its 2 times in a day..
There is no way to predict when it will happen but usualy its more often when I use Internet gprs or wifi. Most often when I use the wifi( I guess
I have upgraded to the latest Radio ROM but I cant see any diference.
So my question is, How often u guys get hangs on your prophets?
Is this normal?
Is there a way to make it work with no hangs at all or this is the way it is?

Im not using overclocking and the phone usually hangs when its left alone not while I use it.
In wm5 it usually used to hang right after I wake it from suspend while in wm6 I just cant wake it, it stays dark.

Well, when I had the original i-mate ROM I almost never needed to do an SR, unless I was really messing with it.
Then I tried PDAmobiz b4 and I got the phenomenon you describe:
Some times I would turn on the device and notice the clock was an hour or two behind and the device would not respond. Basically it hanged quietly and I didn't even know.
After suffering this for a week I changed the ROM to my current PDAViet 4.0.0.0.6 Touch and it seems fine so far (better then the original).
Perhaps a different ROM, maybe a WM 5 not 6 will work for you.
Also you should see what kind of programs are running in background on your device. Maybe one of them is the problem.

Actually I had the problem u described with the original wm5 ROM not with the wm6 roms.
The thing is that the original rom had many other problems and for this reason I dont want to go back to it.
For example I could connect with gprs without problems but after disconnecting I was unable to connect again. The device was saying "The answering modem has disconnected" or one of 2-3 other messages like that I was in a phone session and so on. The only solution was to restart the phone app...
The phone dialer was terribly slow. When pressing the dialpad buttons it was taking about a second for the phone to respond
Also I noticed that the same problem u described when the device freezes just after wakeup will generally happen if the wifi was left on.
If I switched it off I had almost no freezes.. but u know Ive got this phone to use its network capabilities and it looks like the network part was most buggy
All this is about the original wm5 qtek rom.
With wm6 I only have this case when the phone dont want to wake up. It just stays dark when I press the power button.
It will also freeze somethimes when I work but not very often..
Currently I use Prophet Touch v6 by gullum
I few months ago I have read that windows has some delay bringing up the sd card online after suspend and that this may cause problems if some program tries to read the Storage card before its online. For that reason there was suggestion to install all system and most used programs in the internal storage.
Now I have noticed that SPB Insight was installed on the storage card and I use its today plugin so I reinstalled it to the internal storage to see if this will help.

I have the same problem
Please help me to find out why my S200 hanging and hanging and hanging

i have got same problem in my prophet...my model is orange m600............is there anybody to help....

Activesync issues on my Vario

The updated activesync 4.1 is doing my head in, its not identifying my vario properly, showing it as named WM_User although it isnt, starting to sync then stopping, causing the vario to run slowly and require a reset. then sometimes it thinks the two devices have not been connected before and sets up a new additional patnership!
also lost load options that are available with my MDA Compact, such as backup/restore. why has its fuctionality gone backwards, thought it was suposed to be an update???
i get the problems through bluetooth and usb.
should i try the beta version?
its a t-mobile uk device but ive flashed it with the latest qtek test rom
cheers
(beside this problem im totally chuft with the vario compared to my compact!)
:edit: also now and again (say twice a day) the backlight will go off and not come back on with screen taps or button presses, i have to go into the backlight setting and shimmy the slider from power save up to where it want it (while struggling to see the screen!). anyone else come across this?
I've had exactly the same problems as you although im using the original rom but overclocking at 228mhz.
are you also getting random resets and very slow boot times?
not having random resets or boot up issues, but activesync sometimes forces me to reboot.
im also overclocked to 228, maybe this is causing the problem? i'll try again later with it un-overclocked (if thats a real word!)

Wizard wont turn on - however lights still flash?????

Im currently using the imate rom 2.16.9.1.wwe Rom date 2/6/06 extrom version 0 2.16.9.101
It has been working fine for the past few weeks and the performane increase has been much better. I was also using the oush mail which also worked well. Then a few days ago I started to have a few problems with the phone, basically it would look as if it was working the lights flashing, however when I went to turn it on it wouldn’t turn on. The only way to resolve this si to soft reset the handset. This problem is now occuring on average 2 times a day! I havent even installed any new software!! Thwe only major incident before this started happening was I used skype twice! But havent used it since! I have also stopped push mail cause I thought this maybe the issue but it didn’t solve it!
Its so annoying cause I think the device is operating normally cause I see the flashing lights however it cant do anything cause it has frozen!
Any ideas???
I was thinking of going for a hard reset but if I restore my backup ive taken with spb will this not just reintroduce the problem?
just to add for further info i have no apps running and the
program memory is total - 44.01mb
in use 19.67mb and Free 24.34
thats after a soft reboot!!
This might be a really silly suggestion, so appologies if it is, but could it be just the backlight turned off for some reason so it looks like the device is off when it is actually on?
No, I don't think that it is the backlight as I am also now experiencing this same problem ... approx 1 - 2 time daily. You think that the phone is functioning until you try to use it. Only option is soft reset.
Any help on this would be appreciated.
no at present a soft reset is the only cure and even then it may occur again later on! Bluey HK are you using the same rom as me??? the imate one?
its done it twice already today and its only midday! the last time i was just browsing the web, closed the browser, then switched it off and then couldnt turn it back on! Do you think it may be a memory leakage issue????
This happened to me yesterday on my T-Mobile MDA. I am running the latest T-Mobile_RUU_Wizard_2210401_221_20710_ENG_US image from xelencin.
What appears to have triggered the problem for me was attempting to connect to T-Mobile's My Email app to download mailbox settings while the signal level is too low or intermittent (Wi-fi and Bluetooth were disabled).
The backlight would not turn on and I could observe the My Email app trying to access the server.
it sounds as though it may be a bug connected with a GPRS connection???
ahh its done it again, this time i wasnt doing anything just died! I think i am gonnna have to do a hard reset cause this is making the phone unuseable!
if i do a hard reset and then install a back up is there a high possibility that this will reintroduce the bug???
its not the backlight
my 8125 is having the same damn problem. its nto a backlight issue, as it just stalls, and the past 4 times its done it, i've just removed the battery and turned it back on as a soft reset wont work, and i can't it to react to any commands. this is either a software issue all our phones are dying. i was having this problem with summitter's previous 2.17 rom, then updated to the recent 2.17.11 aku 2.2 rom... thinking the upgraded rom is what it needed...NOPE... still crashed. almost all instances i believe are when the wifi connection was active. but i could be making that up, i'm positive on 3 occasions it was with a wifi connection active. but not too sure about the 4th.
this is making me insane, and we need to figure out whats up~!
to expound on the problem:
one time i was in the middle of checking voicemail, then tried to delete, but the screen wouldn't light up, and it wasn't responding to my option 7 to delete command. the other time was in the middle of a phone call. something's up....
i am having the same issue with my 9100, its running the latest offical rom, mine does it whenever it feels i dont believe it is wifi or gprs related as i have the problem at time when i have been using neither.
there does not appear to be a link to any software i am using either
any ideas?.
yea- i get the same sometimes, i go to take my phone out of standby and it wont do anything, the power button doesnt work- the light just flashes. sometimes it freezes on the today screen, the power button dont work or anything. really need to sort this!
any ideas? any1 else get this? its where u put ur MDA in standby, and next time u press power button 2 turn on nufin happens, but the leds still flash at the top!
yep i still get the problem! still no cure!
I have exactly the same problem... I just pick up my device from my pocket to use it, I press on the power button once but the device won't wake up from the standby mode. I wish someone can give us a cure.
Low Battery...
I had this happen to me once recently...for me it was becuase my battery was too low. Freaked me out, because everything looked good, but I would power on and get nothing! Right after it started it powered on for a sec then quit. I had to put it on the charger and leave it for a couple hours to get a good solid charge, then everything was fine. Hope this helps....
thanks for the response, unfortunately mine is definately not related to the battery charge!
mine hasnt done it in the last day, ive been leaving it a while before putting it into standby. i used to exit my app (messaging or whatever) and shut it off straightaway, but i give it a sec or 2 to make sure its all good
and its doin ok so far!

HELP | TyTN unable to wake up after power off!!!

Guys
I am facing a really weird problem which is becoming increasingly frustrating and driving me nuts.
I usually charge my phone overnite using the stock charger. The phone powers off after a while as per the the settings (15 mins I think) and stays like that throughout the night. But in the morning it fails to wake up totally. Nothin works. So, I am forced to soft reset it everytime this happens. This has happened quite a few times now.
Any ideas why this might be happening? This is killing me because the alarms dont sound and the phone is totally dead in the morning.
ps. I am using the stock HTC ROM (1.18, 07/22), on Cingular UMTS.
Thanks in advance.
JoKer
Dude, I'm getting the EXACT same thing!!!! I'm using using the stock TyTN ROM! I have no idea what's causing it, or even how to fix it. I thought it had something to do with software, but that doesn't seem to be the case here. I need help too!!!!
) .. that's crazy .. maybe this is the next SA ... jk ..
but seriously ... maybe there are more folks with this prob ... let's see if anyone knows any more details about this or how to fix it ..
And the really strangest thing is that this doesnt happen to me in the day .. it powers off and wakes up fine .. but then it's never powered off for that long ..
Mine seems to happen when it's powered off for a given amount of time. It's insanely annoying because I have to reboot, and I hate rebooting the phone.
I've experienced a lot less of this behavior since moving to the 1.20 radio ROM...
I'm at the 1.20 radio, and I'm still having the problem.
I too am having exactly this problem. I have flashed the Cingular 1.34 ROM but it seems that the ROM doesn't matter. (I notice the bluetooth and or wifi lights are still on, the screen just doesnt come back to life).
Hi, you probably already tested this, but your device goes into standby mode with WiFi on it will become locked and unable to power on.
But it has happenned to me this sympton without WiFi connected.
Cheers
check out this search...there are a few topics on this already

Well I used to think there was some truth to the freezing being related to certain apps... and I suspected on mine it was PhoneAlarm causing problems.
Last week I hard reset and re-installed everything except PhoneAlarm but am having freezing if my TyTN is not used for some time (does not have to charge to freeze!)... And yes, I do kill ActiveSync and WiFi when I know I will not be using my phone for a while. My conclusion is that there's more to this and that maybe a newer ROM from HTC will address this - anyone know what the status is on this??
BTW, anybody else having alarms going off constantly on re-boot or MS VC reading out ca. 2 weeks of appointments on soft re-boot?
I still don't think there is a definitive answer on this. I've heard quite a few things to fix it; but I don't really have any of the software that's mentioned. Someone said it was because I had Opera installed (so I uninstalled it), then someone said it was because of the ActiveSync Advanced Network Connection option (I unchecked that), last someone said it was because of SBSH PocketWeather, and to take that off the today screen. Well I'd rather not do the latter, so I'll test these two and see how it goes.
I think it's the today plug-in issue. I hard reset and left off PW and it didn't lock-up for 2 days. But like you, I like it a lot.
So I'll deal with resetting it.
For me, it's just Pocket Plus, Resco File Explorer and WA Lite on the Today screen along with the standard stuff .. really nothin that needs to connect to the connect to the internet .. and still ..
The one that caused the TyTn not to wakeup was Wisbar Advance. Since removing it, I've not had any issues with the pda not waking up from power off.
Ok, what are you using in its place?
Well after uninstalling Opera, and unchecking the check box; I had the problem again! ( So annoying (.
Well i'll post my problem too
I have missed class twice in a week because the phone alarm never rang in the morning. The phone was frozen and i had to reset it in both cases. I always leave it charginf over night and now i'm afraid to turn it off anymore for fear of never waking me up in the morning
Adi
guys,
I am suspecting the issue is related to the today's plugin. After a few days of experiments, I believe the battery level reading utilities such as SPB pockets plus or Resco today plugin might be the one we are looking for.
Not only uncheck it, but also un-install it, hopefully, would help to solve the problem.
Mark
I have no today's plugin, just the standard stuff, en i do have the same problem
Give the Fake Server Trick a try, which worked for similar symptoms on the old Axim x51v: http://www.aximsite.com/boards/showthread.php?t=112638
If your problems are caused by the same thing, then this is to do with Activesync launching itself automatically. This in turn causes windows mobile 5 to stop waking up from standby, requiring a soft reset. No idea why.
I did the FST straight away when I received my TyTN and I don't get any of the problems you describe at all. It's worth a go!

Phone not resuming from standby

In the past couple of days, there has been three occasions when the PPC (Orange m700) would not resume from standby by pressing the on/off button.
It was still on, but not responsive at all and required a soft reset. It would not wake up with a regular pre-set alarm, and nor with a phone call either - calls sent straight to answerphone.
I uninstalled some software after the first ocasion, as I though that may be the problem, but apparently not.
I can't find any other forum posts on this probelm either
Hmm, I'm having the same problem since upgrading my P3600 to the latest official HTC ROM. Unit appears to be in standby but cannot be woken using the power button. Haven't tried calling it in this state to see if a call will wake it.
No idea what could be causing it, soft reset seems to fix the problem.
Anyone else with this problem?
before i have same problem like both off u, did u install u'r device with c3 st4r wm5 cr4ck?? because when i have install with that prog my device in black screen i couldn't wake my phone again & tried to call my device but the phone not active, now i'm using the original c3 st4r serial number from dopod for free, my device just work fine
I have recently noticed mine doiing this as well, although if i hold the button down for a while it will eventually wake up. I dont have a crack for core but have a serial posted on the XXXXXXXXXX site- didnt get a serial or the program with my dopod..... can someone help me with a different serial?
Mod edit we do not make WAREZ suggestions on XDA-Developers
It's happened on mine a couple times recently. For the moment, I'm attributing it to running the gmail applet...no theory, just based on practical observation. A friend recently installed opera mini and had the same problem on his device (it's an HP6515). Could it be the midlets?
i dont use midlets, and i have the same problem and worse... some times everything stops working even in standby mode, or when i use it it crashes and i have to wait some time before using it or i have to soft reset after a long period... it is not a software problem because i uninstalled alot of heavy progs, but i think that mini sd might be corupted and the apps using it crashes,(us when i listent o the musing file paths are gone and i have to softreset)
im just trying using the mini sd as hdd in windows through the phone and do a checkdisk and defragment to see if the problem resists.. if it does ill paint blue my trinity and throw it to the see *(greek exprsion).... ime so ungry of those stuck problems, and i think we gave so much money and we cant even recieve phonecalls...its a pain in the a**
This has happened to me on occasion.
I am wondering if you guys check mail (use HDSPA?)... I have a feeling this may be the cause...
happens every now and then, suspect batterystatus plug-in which is not really meant for trinity, but could be some other software...
For the past three days the phone was frozen in the morning.
I have two alarms set to get me up, and there have been a couple of reminders (tasks), so I wonder if these are related to the problem? The alarms never went off!
Also my phone memory is now round about 12mb, so I also wonder if this is an issue?
Also, it has taken me 2 soft resets to get the phone working again after it froze the past 2 times
I have noticed the same issue for a while. In my case at least I think it relates to wifi (and maybe BT). If left on my phone doesnt typically emerge from standyby. If I switch off then I dont seem to have this problem at all. Maybe not just me?
Guys, I suspect you have a software problem. I know it's painful, but you can do a hard reset to the device so that it returns to its clean initial state and test for a few days to see if it's recurring.
Then you'll know if it's a software problem or hardware one. Also, it helps you to explain the situation when you ever need to return it.
Had the same problem. Drove me absolutely nuts. Had phone exchanged 3 times and did numerous hard and soft resets. Virtually no additional software on it. Finally resolved after switching to WM6. Thank god!
i think it's a hardware problem.
I have a trinity now, but I had this problem with my atom exec. it would do exactly that... turn off, not turn back on, power button doesn't work, people think im not answering my phone, alarms don't sound. I tried all the roms, including changing my WWE rom to a CHT rom, didn't work, same problem.
I'm interested in hearing why people think this is software related.
i have the same problem with my p3600 :| sometime it don'r resume from standby when i press poweron/off button :| any solution?
I think you'd better send it back to HTC.
I had the Standby of Death SOD this is when the phone fails to come out of standby with a power button press. This issue only affects some people on some networks. I'm not sure if its a network problem or a software problem but as only a minority of people have it, I suspect its mainly a network problem there is a software solution.
The solution is to change the phone settings band option from auto 3G/2G to either 3G Only (WCDMA + UTMS 2100 in Europe) or 2G Only (GSM + AUTO) depending on your requirements.
Also read this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=540943&highlight=standby&page=2 where the resolution was to get a new SIM.
Obviously this only solves the problem when the crash is because of the sim and/or settings which impact the sim. To rule out a software cause its best to start with a hard reset.
try this
problem phone freeze from standby often hapened to me then i try to install "SystemSecurityMonitorPro(V2.2)"
use it before turn on phone from standby
i dont know how it work but it working for me
correct me if iam wrong

I'm not going to try and correct you as there can be different solutions to the problem depending on the cause, my solution will only solve the problem if its because of the sim/radio/network, other solutions are to update the radio, get a new SIM, do a hard reset etc etc etc. If it worked for you then it worked for you and your post is welcome.

BA Screen Goes Black after So Much Usage

I've had a strange problem with my BA (SX66) with both the WM5 and WM6 ROMs.
After about a weeks usage and when browsing the Web using WIFI, the WIFI icon at the top of the screen flashes and then my screen goes black. If I try to reboot, it sticks on the Green Windows Mobile screen.
I have to clear the hive, and reboot losing all my data.
Has anyone else had this problem? I don't know if this is a hardware or software problem.
well here i have the same problem but mine is battery related (i think)
Xplode, thanks for taking the time to answer. We greatly appreciate the work you do on the BA.
My first thought was that it was battery related. However, I think it happened to me once on a nearly full charge. I did the No, Yes, Yes hard reset and will test it once again.
I wish HTC would make a Blue Angle II with 3G.
I cold booted my BA and didn't add the HTC Home cab. It appears that the HTC Home cab was causing the problem. I ran the phone for several weeks without HTC Home and I haven't had a problem with it locking up.
Now I'm trying Helmi's ROM with Explodes HTC Home.

I had this problem b4 when it stuck in the green windows mobile screen. I thought it was backup software issue, but then realise that a lot of people had this issue with different circumsatances...
the only solution worked for me was to clear the hive and restore backup data. Some people suggested in the forum somewhere (I forgot which one) that you have to go to bootloader screen, and then reset... or keep reseting until it works (i think some dude did it 18 times and finally worked )
It happened to me about 5 times on helmi's rom.
since i moved on to minhanh's rom, never had this issue anymore, but i still keep doing a lot of backups, just in case it happens again.
Now, I am waiting for Xplode's new up and coming rom and hopefully this issue will never occur again
