my imat jasjar with the latest rom (1.13.53) and latest radio(1.04.02) sometimes freezes 10 times a day, forcing me to soft reset (sometimes 3 or 4 times in a row) before it works again...i have tried everything from upgrading the rom, hardressetting, changing memorycards, leaving the device on instead of automaticly turning of....nothing works..
the worst is when i stop using it and put it on charge during the night, it does not wake up in the morning...i have to softreset everytime and all calls and sms that came in during that time where not received...can anybody relate to this problem, or am i alone in this....i really like the device, but missing my calls and resetting ten times a day, makes me wonder if i should go back to my trusted magician...maybe a rom from another device (o2,mda,qtek) would be a solution ?
any help is welcome
I'd get it replaced as it shouldn't be doing that. I've not had a single hang on my XDA Exec since I got it nearly a month ago.

do you really think it is a hardware problem....i find it more to be a software problem...and i would not like to be without my device for 1,2,3 or even more weeks...anybody know if the qtek 9000 rom is available somewhere...having had a qtek 2020,9090 and s100 and also tried a few mda's and imate's, i find these to be the best roms in general
@jesax, I had a JJ and I used all the features (inc. video calling and UMTS downloads) but only had a freeze with SMS notifications and downloading emails over UMTS. You device could have a hardware problem. The other possibility is the ROM is corrupted so you should try to download a new copy.
mine randomly hangs when using Agile Messenger. Stable the rest of the time.
Planning a hard reset shortly, will see if this fixes it.
in my case a hard reset does not change anything...i have done three and have changed to the latest rom...no dice
does anybody know where i can find the original jasjar rom or a good working english rom to try out or do a downgrade...
i am reaching in the dark here....
@jesax, did you download a fresh ROM from clubimate? Your original ROM could be corrupted

yes, i downloaded the latest rom from the imate site...no go...still the same problems...i first tought it was a charging problem, as it happens every morning when i take it from the charger....i now left the jasjar untouched for a few hours in closed position without the charger, and when i opened it up, it froze again, leading to a softreset.....HEEEEELLLP
@Jesax,
If I were you, I would have falshed the ROM again to my device as I think there is some kind of corruption to your installed ROM.
To get the latest ROM version go to this site :
ftp://ftp.xda-developers.com/Universal/
If it does not open, just go to this site and you can open it from there:
http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=BA_FTP_Site
You can get it also from this site:
http://www.clubimate.com/t-DEVICE_JASJAR_UPD.aspx
But your device must be registered to axcess to this site.
Flash the ROM to your device and try to use it without up-grading the radio version to 1.04.02..... if you experience the same problem so it's definately a hardware problem and in this case you have to give it back, but I think it will work properly "I hope".
If you don't experience the same problem again, it might be either a problem with the radio version or a problem with any of the softwares installed on your device.
By the way, can we know which softwares are installed on your device at the time being??
Please let me know the result.
Regards,
jesax, okay. So you have downloaded the new ROM at least twice now from the clubimate site therefore we can assume the ROM is okay. Also please confirm that you are not using any third-party apps. Are you using a 3G or standard GMS SIM. Try turning off the radio functions (Fn+->) and see if the freezing stops.
Jesax,
Are you using spb pocket plus or any similar software??

thanx, i give it a try but am getting fed up with spending hours behind the computer resetting this thing...
the software i am running are :
resco file explorer
gpspocketmagic
launcher
tomtom 5.1 installed, working but like to freez up also when in use
tweaks2k2
that's about it
i do not use 3g but do use gprs...it was switched to "always on" with the reg hack, but i turned it back (you never know)
i will have a try when i com home this evening to turn of radio function, and charge it overnight (how do i do this, without taking out the sim )
on the wiki ftp site i see there is a 02 xda exec rom i can dowload.
can anyone recommebd this ?
should i give it a try instead of the jasjar rom, and will it install as easily as the jasjar, or will it ask for id's and codes?
thanx guys
@ Jesax,
Before flashing the ROM again to your device just un-install tomtom 5.1 and pocketmajic and see the result "you can use majic button instead" .... if it does the same, you will have no option but flashing.
Don't get fed up...... your problem will be solved, the Jasjar is a wonderful device and you will enjoy it once your problem is solved.

I wouldn't advise you to do that.
There is nothing wrong with the jasjar ROM.... and it's the most popular.
Regards,
jesax, as I said in my previous post, you can switch off the radio using the following keys on your JJ "Fn" + "->" and select the All Off option.
Also remove all third-party apps and see if stability improves. If it does add one app at a time back to see which one is causing the stability issue.
The XDA ROM only requires a code for the Coroprate option (code is 0506), the Corporate option is the best to choose at it has no O2 additions.

thanx...i don't think tomtom5.1 is the problem, as i was having this problem before the install of tomtom...pocketmagic i can't remember when i put it on (so many resets, so many....)
i will give it a go
what's annoying is that it does not happen on steady intervals...it can freeze up twice in a minute, and then work fine for ten hours.

would you recommend me trying it, or is the jasjar rom actually better...i don't want to spend another few hours flashing the o2 rom, if it is no use
another question...maybe related...
i have noticed that when i open up my jasjar from fully closed to "laptop" mode, the backlight does not come on everytime...sometimes it does, sometimes i have to push the "on button" to light up...
my backlight is set to go out on batterypower after 30 seconds, and to stay on with external power.
the powersettings are : turn off after 1 minute on battery power and stay on with external power
@ jesax,
Most probably your ROM is corrupted.... in this case a hard reset will not work, but a fresh flashing to the ROM will be the best solution.

Hey Guys, is this only my issue or it happens to you as well?
I noticed that my K-Jam (Qtec or whatever) restarts itself from time to time. I have almost fresh (yesterday formatted) WM5, no today plugins, no additional appz installed. Sometimes when I look at my phone it shows Password Keypad which is set to lock the device after 24h of being idle (that's the way I realized it must have been restarted).
I didn't have enough time to play with it and check how often it does so, thought I will ask experts here first...
Right now I have 1.6.7.1 WWE ROM, I will update to newest today and check if it solves the problem (by the way ... which one do you recommend I-Mate or Qtec?).
Thanks!

this is quite well known issue. wizard sometimes resets itself without any particular reason and it was discussed here many times. i used to have this problem with my wizard, however after updating to AKU2 ROM, it got much much more stable than before. try to update ROM to newest AKU2 version and then check if problem persist.

I certainly had a major issues with this on the old rom.
However int eh past week I have lost 2 important phone calls when the damn thing has rebooted int eh middle of a telephone call.
Robin
I've had this problem for awhile now, and i was just thinking it was some 'quirk' with the T-mobile ROM, but recently i've installed the new ROM, and i'm getting the exact same problem, so i really am confused now :/
(I haven't installed any apps, or hacked the device in anyway btw)
Basically, i'll be composing a standard TXT, and the brightness on the screen will go to maximum (as if it's been plugged into charge) then when i come to pressing 'send' it does nothing. Then i close the messaging app, then whatever i try to load, it comes up with a 'this program is unsigned' error, all the txt on the screen does white, and basically everything looks screwed.
If i go into task manager and close the messaging app, then the screen goes back to its normal brightness, but the application errors still continue.
The only way to get around this, is by rebooting the device, but then once it's reloaded, it seems to randomly loose my latest TXTs/e-mails!
Really starting to annoy me now!
Does anyone have ANY Idea what might be causing this, or experienced this before?
Any help appreciated!
Thanks
*bump*
No one else had a similar problem?
OK and another thing ive noticed, when i go to the lock options, even if i type in an incorrect PIN, or even if i click 'ok' it just bypasses the lock screen! How s**t is that!
I've got no idea what's up with this phone, but i'm really pissed off with it now, i'm sending it to t-mobile for their engineers to look at, but im 99% sure that they'll run a few simple tests on it, and declare that it's totally fine, then send it back to me... GRRRRRRRR :evil:
hey same thing happening to me too.
mine too sometimes goes to full brightness while composing SMS. If u then switch off the phone(by power button), it comes up with a message box asking for driver. In the end, i hv to reboot the device.
And the poor part is that it doesnt happens all the times. This has started happening to since I have upgraded to latest imate ROM(I have O2 Exec). I had similar problem with the latest Qtekk ROM.
The only thing i d not installed was 'ms_.nbf' from both of the ROMs,which is actually represent the 'extended rom' of HTC devices.

Ahh, well i'm glad im not the only one!
I'm going to assume it's a hardware issue..... possibly..... because ive had the exact same problem on the past 2 t-mobile ROMs. So annoying :S
why dont u give a try to other ROMs like imate, qtekk. May be, you do away with this 'annoying' problem somehow

today, i installed the latest qtekk rom with ms_.nbf(extended rom) stuff allowed to install.
Now, from past 2 days,this has not happened. yay
so far, so good
Hmmmm interesting

I used to suffer from this problem at least 2-3times a day. And it was very frustrating too.
Till now, not a single problem with latest qtekk ROM, FABULOUS is the word for it !!
No problem at all till now. Popper, you should give it a try now

Hmmm I might give that a go. Which ROM contains all the network setting information? Was that the "ms_.nbf" file you mentioned?
Thanks
yes, its the ms_.nbf which contains the network settings. In other words, it the one, which represents the extended rom of your device

Have just sent my 3rd Vario back to T-Mobile with this fault, and think I will be getting another brand new handset back in the post, but not convinced it is fixing the fault.
When I use the phone for texting or making calls or any function, the screen appears to crash as while lines appear on one side of the screen, and slowly spread over the screen making it not respond to the touch - even if I could see what was there.
A click of the power button bring the screen back OK sometimes, but often have to do this many times or pull the battery out.
Have I just had duff handsets??
are you overclocking? when did it start? what rom, software, programs are you running? etc

Alas I can only answer a few of the questions as the pone is away being repaired / swapped out, but I am not overclocking, the ROM is what it came with 3 weeks ago from T Mobile, I had installed the Skype s/ware but have not run in more than once, and it certainly was not running when this fault occurs.
The fault appears 5 or so times a day, in differing forms of severity.
I don't use skype myself, so I don't know how it runs in the background. but I think you need to overclock to get it to work well, or use the newer made-for-slow-devices version. other than that, i find sometimes i try out a new app and this problem occurs (even if others use it with no problems). I don't know if it's possible to have a combination of progs/apps which will cause this? but the fact that this is your third occurrence definitely suggests a user created fault of some sort, what other software do you use?
I use Messenger a lot on it, but apart from Skype have not installed any other software - it is all as it comes out the box.
does this happen before you install skype? try the version for ppc with slow processors
Yes it did happen before Skype, and am using the version you mentioned.
i'm only aware of this happening with extreme overclocking, and bad software. so, sorry but i'm out of ideas. when you get it back hard reset and don't install the extended rom, see if that helps, if you've not added much to it it may be a problem with the hardware (assuming they keep sending you the same unit).
I don't think many people run a stock setting and use this site, but hopefully someone else will have had a similar problem and help...
So, I have been having problems with my PDA lately. It refused to turn on randomly. With other ROMs, it randomly crashed, or rebooted, or I just had blank white or blue screens. Different problems with different ROMs -- but all random. Lately its so bad, it rendered my PDA useless -- now sometimes it doesn't even boot, the blue imate bootscreen gets corrupted...
What's wrong? I'm suspecting RAM problems, which ain't good
Hi KTamas!
Try putting it into bootloader mode and from there, do a complete OS+radio ROM upgrade.
Use the latest 1.15 radio along with the latest official ROM. I would prefer the official O2 ROM. Go to the below link to download the latest O2 rom. For phone number, it will take any number

Best of luck!

Been there, done that. A dozen times. Tried serveral AKU2, AKU3, Crossbow ROMs. Different behaviors on different OSes, but all unstable one way or another (well, one time, one AKU2 was mostly stable... well, mostly... but when I went to crossbow, then back to AKU2, it got worse).
hmm..indeed a problem unheard of.
Have you tried flashing it with AKU1.x rom? They are, i guess, avaliable on imate's FTP

What advantages does 1.15.00 have over 1.14.10? I'm right on the border of a 3g cell and OCCASIONALLY get a 0 bar 3g signal, so am just after the best radio rom to get a strong clear signal.
Thanks!

Elsewhere on the forum, there is a post which say that the difference between 1.14.1 and 1.15 was minimal and that there should in fact be no differences between the way they operate.
However, that was in the midst of a number of posts which all said how much more reliable 1.15 and that the Uni felt faster with it.

Remember, no ROM is entirely stable but you do sound like you have a hardware fault.

Have you tried a new battery? I was having similar problems and took it to the service centre and they confirmed it was the battery (mine was about 14 months old). All working fine now with a new battery!

My battery is around 9 months old. Anyways, I took my Uni to a private repair center... I hope they'll be able to fix it.
Please let us know what the problem is but I think its a voltage control unit of the mainboard.
i had some issues a couple of months ago.. tried all the roms, drove me mad... turned out to be due to some corrupt sectors on my sd card.. bought a new one and my Uni was rocksteady (well kinda) as ever =]
good luck
