Has anyone experienced a regular lock up on the 02 XDA2i - if so I may have the fix.
The freeze on the xda2i happens after it has been running various programs, no one program was the root cause of the issue but when the program was ended the memory it was using should be freed up for other applications to use - but doesn't.
O2 will claim that 3rd party apps are causing this but in my opinion the cause is the 02 Active software which is installed after a hard resest where it allocates itself a memory address within the ROM.
SOLUTION:
1. Hard Reset after backing up
2. Choose Corporate User
3. Enter PIN 0506
This will install a corporate edition of Mobile 2003SE and will not include the 02 stuff.
Hope it helps - if anyone has any further bluetooth or tomtom problems I can probably help too.
ive not seen any lock ups on my xda2i at all runing tomtom and a bt headset
Are you using an 02 XDA though?
ThebigWomble,
Thans for the fix on freezing XDA 2i.
This id very useful.
I have two question if you would help me.
Tomtom 3 keeps loosing its favourites and recent locations.
How I can save them manually and reinstate them whenever they are lost.
Some it say no maps installed when in fact two maps are installed and on the Storage Card.
How I can unlock and unhide the extededROm on XDA 2i
Thanks for the help.
who me yes ive had no lockups at all really and i usually have ie and email running in the back ground and well as msn
I too have experienced the lockups on my XDA2i even with the corporate version of Mobile 2003SE installed. It seems to happen after I've used bluetooth (headset only) for a while. The only third party software I have installed at the moment is Resco Explorer.
i've removed the o2 interfaces and ****, but kept the task manager. mine regularly locks up, but usually when i go into the task manager and end the item called "programs" it the says something along the lines of "unhandled shell exception. attempting to reboot the shell." then it soft resets itself. not a major problem, just an anoyance.
yes, i've the same problem
my new xda2ii locks up very often
and during the blackout, i can receive incoming calls
during the blackout, if make a call to the xda2ii, it seems the line is free and ringing, but the pda stil remain off!!!
the only way to "get up" to the pda is reset it with the stylo
all other buttons are disabled
what can i do?
i've tried it also with installing the latest italian rom, and the problem is the same
so O2ACTIVE is not the cause of the problem, because the italian rom doesn't include that program/interface
NOW, i've tried to come back to O2ROM, without installing the O2 interface, using the trick of "corporate user"
i'll advise you about the results
any suggestion on resolving this problem?
I took the o2 active stuff off some time ago and lockups persist...
A
yes, i confirm
i resetted my pda today afternoon, and after 2 hours... i've got another pda lock
need manual reset to "wake up", missing 2 phone incoming calls
i think it's a serious problem
any other had success with this problem?
hello guys
any suggest?
the pda still blocks itself many times during a day, and i miss all the calls during that time
it's a terrible bug
any suggestion?
Thank you I hope it fixes my proggy freez bluetooth headset and gps issues. i did have a xda2s with same probs till yesterday i now have a xda2i same set of probs .. but now i dont have a sim unlock ...
lockups
i have done more soft starts on my xa2i then phone calls how do you install your software what order do you do it..?? please help.. ice
running tomtom with pretec data logger gps and hs200 b/t sony h/s.
the problem still persists
anyone has a solution please?
For those experiencing lockups please take a look at my Thread, its the phone that causes the lockup, trust me I have tested it to the absolute fullness.

opps sorry big womble have been busy for a while yes its an o2 xda2i
Ok here is how to turn off the phone, ive just done it without having a problem.
1) Start Tomtom with it communicating to the Bluetooth GPS and Phone is on.
2) Whilst tomtom is running turn on flightmode (turning off all Wireless and Phone)
3) Go back into Tomtom and it should have lost its connection to BT you will see it hasn't disabled the GPS though!
4) Turn on BT in the Bluetooth Settings in the settings menu of the XDA2i
5) XDA2i will then pop up a message saying turn off flight mode first, try to close that popup and it will take several seconds whilst it closes the popup.
6) Hey presto the delay was caused by the XDA2i trying to turn on Wirelss with out the Phone.
7) You now have just wirelss on and not the phone.
Let me know if this works for you, it has for me each time.
Cheers

tenx for your help
but i have the problem without tomtom installed too!!!
Xda2i locks up
It is one month since I bought. Sofar more than 20 hard resets. 100 soft resets. Why O2 is not coming out with fix.
Hi all, apologies for posting this, as there I know there's tons of other threads relating to this matter - I've spent quite some time reading (and being confused!) by them, but I can't seem to find a thread which a) has someone describing the exact problem I have, or b) giving a definitive solution. So here it is:
I have a UK MDA Vario II. It's my second one (replaced under warranty), this, and my first one both had a problem where I would seemingly randomly not receive calls or texts. The phone shows it has a signal, and the green light would be flashing to indicate service. However, on occasions, if you try to ring the phone, it diverts straight to voicemail. Sometimes service resumes normally (about an hour later) and I get a message informing me of my missed calls, and sometimes I have to do a soft reset to get it working again.
What I have gathered from reading on these forums is that I may need to upgrade my radio - it had version 1.05.02.00 on it (which it must have been shipped with).
So - following instructions, I put HardSPL 2.10 on to the device, then flashed the Radio ROM to version 1.47.30.10, deciding that this looked the safest bet based on the feedback of other people on the Forum. Having done this (last night) I decided to test the phone once per hour today by just calling it, and I only got to the second test before it failed again - showing signal and green light flashing - but calls going straight to voicemail.
So - I don't want to do any damage to the phone - but I need to know that when someone's calling me, it's going to ring (we're moving house soon, so I'm relying on certain calls from solicitors, bank etc etc). Can anyone tell me of a reliable Radio ROM version for an MDA Vario II on T-Mobile UK? (which won't introduce further problems!)
THANKS!!

Ive never had any problems with calls not connecting, the only times it has failed is due to poor reception and ofcourse network busy errors.
I wouldnt worry about the radio version it sounds like a network issue. Have enabled 3G on it??

I have (and thanks btw - it was your guides that I followed attempting the flash last night). The thing is, a good friend of mine has the same phone, in the same area - and he doesn't get these issues. My other half is also on T-Mobile, but uses a Sony Ericsson and doesn't have any problems with coverage. I'm in a city centre right now, and my house isn't far out - we both have decent reception there.
In fact - an interesting thing just happened (literally..) - I have my phone on a charging cradle, and it had been dormant for a while, so the screen was off. It woke up, as if about to receive a call or text, but then nothing happened... so I called myself from my office phone - and it connected ok.
About 5 minutes later my girlfriend called me up on the mobile, and I mentioned the issue was still there - and she said 'yeah, i tried to call you about 5 minutes ago'.... so it's like the call was received (i.e. the phone new about it), but it didn't complete the process.
I had thought a new radio version might help (from my very limited understanding of such matters) - are you saying that's not the case?
Does 3G affect this too? What can I do - I use the internet more than anything else on my phone....
Thanks
does anyone have any further advice on this?
Mr Vanx? Anyone??
My phone is still randomly losing signal - generally not accepting incoming calls (though today it was not accepting calls, whilst I was still able to make them...). I think I may go and get it replaced by T-Mobile - but I have upgraded the radio to 1.47.30.10, and have put HardSPL 2.10 onto it.
I guess I need to downgrade to original versions, but I can't seem to find a guide which tells me if what I want to do is OK (and how...).
Please - can anyone assist - I believe my original radio rom was 1.05.05.00, and the SPL version was 1.01.
I'm using 1.54.30.10 and it's fine. I found 1.54.00.10 pretty good as well. Much fewer dropped calls comparing to any 1.4x RadioROMs. Signal strenght is also better. The only thing I cannot comment on is the battery life, as I charge the phone every night whether it's 90% or 10%.

did you have the same problems as me? - phone appearing to have a signal but calls being diverted to voicemail... seemingly randomly...
Use GSM mode as default
I have the exact same problem (I travel between Birmingham and London mainly) on my Vario II. It is really fustrating and my wife seems to think I dont answer her calls/txts on purpose(!)
On mine, the problem is due to the 3G mode - when I turn OFF 3G and use normal GSM the problem goes away. I get all calls/txt and internet connections sucessfully. When I turn on 3G the problem comes back - lost calls and unsucessfull internet connections. When in 3G mode sometimes it works somtimes it doesnt
Someone mentioned it could be that it is not switching between 3G and GSM automatically when no 3G is available. However, it happens even when in a good strong 3G area.
I swear this problem did not happen in the early part of my contract but only recently. One theory is that TMobile has sold so many 3G devices now both monthly and pay-as-you-go (esp 3G Data Modems with users using the network for their laptops) that the TMobile cells are just getting overloaded. Also, it could be that TMobile are also doing an upgrade of the 3G network and it is causing problems for users.
So what I do is run the phone in GSM mode as default (so no missed calls/txt and use Opera Mini for quick web surfing works well in GSM mode) Then switch on 3G mode if I am going to do any web surfing for more then 5 mins.
The added side benefit is also much much better battery life in GSM mode (3G soaks up the juice very quickly). I never use video calls ect so no loss there.
My Comm Manager has a toggle for 3G/GSM mode so I use that to quickly change between the 2 modes.
In Summary I would rather have a reliable phone for recieving/making calls then one which is hit and miss.
btw, Im now due an upgrade - wondering if I should stay with TMobile or not...
We appear to have the same phone 'lives'!

Same here - we're in the middle of selling 2 properties and buying another one, so I could really do with not having the phone playing up.

Ditto - im due for upgrade in March, and had been looking at the Vario iii - but am now wondering if I should be looking at another network? Is this a consistent problem with all 3G devices on T-Mobile - or does it just affect the Vario ii?

I signed up in Sep 06 and there was no problem with 3G mode then (problem free for the first 12 months at least).
From your phone internet rowser goto http://mini.opera.com/ and click on Download Opera Mini (this is latest version 4).
Before you do this make sure you have Esmertec Jbed midlet manager installed (Opera Mini is a Java App).
I use Opera Mini 90% of the time and its still renders fast on a GSM connection.
Ive uploaded the CABs for you for the Midlet Manager and Comm Manager.
I dont know if it only affects the VarioII maybe others can comment. If its a network issue then I would expect it affecting other devices also.
I want to go for the HTC Touch Dual (aka MDA Touch Plus on TMobile) as my next phone but may go with Orange if it is a network issue. Only reason I stay with TMobile is for the 'unlimited' web'n walk tarrif..but if I can't use 3G realiably then what is the point?

Thanks very much for loading this stuff...
my other half is after the touch plus too - but have advised her to do some research before committing to T-Mob again.... though if she gets it and it's ok, i'll post some feedback on here...
Cheers
The Touch Plus is a good phone if you can live without Wifi...Ive read somewhere that this problem is dependant on the area you are in ...in particular the TMobile cell tower servicing the area you are in and it is possible to phone TMobile tech support to get an engineer to investigate and correct the problem. In my case that would be my home address and my work address - maybe worth a try?
Just to add my 2p worth... my radio is 1.05.05.00 (came on the phone, which was a replacement for the first which had the screen drift)... I've had occasional times when the phone's lit up but nothing's happened, but I usually chalk that down to the phone doing an activesync check for push mail, and as there's nothing there, it goes back to sleep.
To my knowledge, I've not really missed any calls or anything like that since way back last year - when sometimes I'd be sitting in the same café as a mate also on T-Mobile, and we'd do the you-call-me-i-call-you thing to get each others' numbers - and it'd go straight to voicemail! That was quite amusing.
Nobody's told me that they've had problems trying to reach me on my mobile though for a fair while now, so I'd almost completely forgotten about this problem!
edit: yay, 500th post! Took a while but got there eventually... Anybody want to sponsor me with a free Kaiser?

Hi, I confess I haven't read the thread in great deal (am in a rush and am just passing through!) but you could try this official T-Mobile UK ROM. It's Windows Mobile6 and Radio 1.50.xxx (as far as I remember). The main thing is that it's official, and includes their latest sanctioned bootloaders etc. I flashed it to mine before taking back for warranty (as it's not possible to go back to the old 1.05 radio from recent unauthorised versions).
T-Mobile UK WM6 complete MDA Vario II ROM:
http://member.htc.com/ruudownload/t-mobile/TMobileWM6Step1-TMuk.aspx
sim
:O when did that become available? I swore to myself I'd keep an eye on the TM phone downloads site because I knew WM6 was available for some devices, but I completely forgot and since then they've rolled out WM6 for my phone... Which is a proper pain, but at the same time a really nice surprise.
Hard reset your device, install ALL applications on the phone (nothing on the micro SD - except outlook attachments). This should solve the problem.

I phoned my pocket pc from my home phone I had to wait 4 rings to see that I'm actually receiving a call. I tried a soft reset but doesn't help.
I am with this ROM -> WM6.1 5.2.19716 hoangdat_VT, I have lots of programs installed, 14mb internal memory free and 64 RAM Free. I don't have any Caller ID software and I am using the stock ringtones.
ps I'm starting to hate blueangel, it's so slow in every situation
I am using xplode's WM6 rom, and just tested with both PDA screen on and off, neither took longer than one ring on my house phone. Maybe try another rom, or check with another cell phone. It could always be your carrier that is being slow and not your blue angel.

There's no problem with my ROM either. When I installed it without any programs, everything was ok. Now somethings wrong :/I know xplode's ROM is the best but I'm staying with this because it is only ROM that works with Wifi driver 2 and Helmi Broadcomm Bluetooth Drivers. I know hard reset will fix the problem but I'm tired of it Any other ideas ?
Soon I will do just like Xeon but the main problems is that I don't have money right now.
I'm using xplode's ROM, and the only problems I have with bluetooth and wireless are as follows:
Beam must be enabled for bluetooth to send and recieve, a 2 second job from comm manager.
WiFi must be switched on in wireless settings before comm manager after each reset.
I'm sure at some point soon the problems will be fixed, but as there is no official WM6 for the BA, by using it you're accepting that the developers haven't fixed everything and as such it wont be perfect.
If a hard reset will fix it, it takes my BA no more than a minute to boot back up and 30 seconds to apply the wireless settings (although I don't normally need it straight away), I don't see why doing so isn't a good idea? I treat my BA like a PC. Not a good idea to have it running for a long time without rebooting, as it will bog down.

Also you can't see other's bluetooth shared folders like on every standart phone. I got a pocket pc and I can't do that that's just a shame. There are also no services for the bluetooth and with some phones/pc I can't receive files because they need file sharing server, there's no serial port service no dial upq no HID service. You can't make other devices never to asko you for password. I have all this with my ROM. The only bad thing is that's a little slower tha xplode's ROM. But I decided to do a LAST hard reset and go back to xplode's rom. I will miss the great bluetooth software and the one click turn on Wifi function
Anyway thanks for the help.
Hopefully xplode will get around to fixing such things then

Maybe you've overclocked your BA ;], my MDA working just fine. Speed is aversome, after half ring my PDA start ringing.
ROM from pdaviet DVH 19199 - speed is great! much faster from TYTN (i have one) with 'rom polok'.
Only issue is battery with RADIO 1.06 . PDA with phone turn off work about one WEEK, but when we turn on GSM, its drain battery ~1%/1h.

Yes I overclock my PPC every time a start a game because the 400 mhz processor is not good for games. TYTN has quallcomm which is still not optimized. Try something with samsung processor. My friend has HP RX3115 with samsung 300mhz and even with WM2003 it's reaal fast. Everything starts immediately. I didn't get the chance to test it in games. And about the battery is this ~1%/1h in standby or turned on ?
Incoming ring delay...
Do not use SD for ring files. Use BA memory. For me, work.
I downloaded skype 2.5 beta today and it works great on my Verizon 6800 DCD 3.22. I can make calls and receive with no issues. Only things I would like to see are my contacts. Is there a way to get it to import my contacts for fast dialing?

Yes, well about that it really didnt change my contact..i wait for a day and still nothing, but if i add contacts from my comp, they will add automatically on my phone.
Skype and wifi disconnection when screen goes off: registry tweaks please?
I have Skype beta 2.5 on my Sprint Mogul (PPC6800) running on wm6.1. Skype, however, requires the wifi to remain on if you want to receive calls. But when my phone's screen goes off the wifi gets disconnected so skype goes offline and now one can call me if I want them to call me from wifi using skype.
Also, when I am making a call, I want to be able to turn off the screen (or the phone will turn it off after a minute) to save battery, but then the wifi goes off and skype call gets disconnected.
I have tried skype's settings to tell it not to let system go into standby mode and I have tried to change my wifi settings by selecting the non-battery saver mode called "performance." None of these works. When the screen goes off, so does the wifi, and skype becomes unavailable for use.
Can some one tell me a registry tweak to disable the phone from turning off the wifi when the screen turns off? Thank you.
I will have to look for the wifi...for the screen off I use the tool in Pocket Toolman which is a free download. I use it a lot for the "screen off" function so the device stays on but with a blank screen.
Just looked and in the OS tweaks section there is an option I am not using called "keep wifi connection active when sleep" in side Pocket Toolman v2...it's free just google it...
Hello everyone,
Further to my post here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=455840, I am using a now slightly old version of Yevgeny's WM6.1 ROMs on my 614c.
One of the few problems with this ROM, which is otherwise great, is that it does not allow concurrent voice and data usage on 3G. The original HP WM6.0 ROMs do allow this and it was a big plus to be able to stay online when the phone rings.
With Yevgeny's ROM v1.6 (and actually I think his newest one is v1.4 rev 1.2, don't ask me about the numbering), the data connection is dropped as soon as the voice connection is made.
I was in Moscow last year a few times and there was no 3G network (just EDGE), so I guess maybe Yevgeny has not himself noticed this problem.
Is anyone using a WM6.1 ROM that DOES allow you to keep your 3G data connection open when making or receiving a voice call?
I use last ROM from Yevg001 WM6.1 20270 rev 1.2 FIX with Manila 2D and data connection is always on (i use push to mail service). I have no probrem with dropping connection during calls.
sergiorus, this is good news. Are you certain that the data connection is remaining open? For example, do new mails arrive while you are on the phone, or you can navigate to non-cached pages in your web browser during calls?
For me, with the older ROM, the data connection is suspended as soon as a call is initiated or received.
I have just called from my home number to mobile and during this call downloaded ephemerides for GPS and updated Manila weather. All correct.
Sergorius thank you very much for testing this... it sounds like a good result. May I also ask you two other questions?
1) Are you using radio firmware 0.77 or 0.88 (notice on the blue start-up screen)?
2) Do you have the "call waiting problem", which was introduced in 0.88?
To test for the call waiting problem, without the help of another person, call yourself using your ipaq and begin to leave yourself a voice message (I usually count numbers). While you are talking to your voicemail, create a waiting call, by calling your ipaq from your home number. Continue to talk to your voicemail for a few seconds while you hear the beeps in your ear, then clear down on your home line.
When you listen to the voicemail that you left yourself, you will hear your voice at first, then notice that your voice was muted while the incoming call was waiting. This is the call waiting problem.
To work around this problem, which for me made my ipaq unusable, I downgraded my radio firmware to 0.77.
I'd be very interested in your results...
1) I use radio firmware 0.88
2) Omg, just tested, I have this problem too.
I tell about this problem to Yevg001, maybe he know how to fix it.
I work in a company wich has about 90 of this phones and , yes, all have the same problem. (call waiting)
We have FW 0.88.
Please if you find a solution, could you post it?
Thanks in advance
Dan
