Rebuilt Wizard - now worse than before!

I desparately need help! I finally got fed up missing calls because my MDA Vario wasn't ringing or because it crashed when I tried to answer. I've had a problem for a while, in that after a day or two it will mysteriously stop making any noises. No menu clicks, no voice directions in TomTom, no notification sounds and worst of all, no ringing when a call comes in. The only fixes are to reboot or to go into Sounds & Notifications in Settings, go to the Notifications tab and then change the volume up or down! It's then fine for another day or two.
I finally got fed up and did a hard reset last week, put my data back on through ActiveSync and then reinstalled the following:
Opera
TomTom 5.21
Total Commander
SmartsKey
Omapclock
I set SmartsKey to overclock to 240mhz and used Total Commander to edit the registry and switch on caps indicator, enable the various caches as suggested in in the wiki, and to set GPRS to always on (as I'm on unlimited data). No other changes, no other software. I did install the trial of SPB Mobile Shell, but then removed it because I didn't like it. I'm on the standard T-Mobile firmware, ROM 2.21.2.6 WWE and I've not unlocked it at all.
The phone worked like a dream for a week or so after the hard reset, but now it's started doing the same thing with the sounds again! Furthermore, if I'm using TomTom it doesn't override the power save settings - so it turns off the backlight after 2 minutes and then turns off the phone after 5! It didn't do this before!
PLEASE can anyone help before I throw the thing out of the window and buy a Symbian smartphone!?
Thanks in advance,
Tim

Did you thik it maybe hardware not software!!!! Maybe your phones has a fault that comes and goes. I would take it into the shop to see if has a fault!

Can I suggest that you start with the basics. Do a hard reset but reset it before the extended ROM can install. (If you don't have a stock operator ROM installed nows a good time to do it). Don't install any software at all. It might sound a bit boring but it is important to establish if you have a hard ware or software fault.
Now run the fone for a few days and see if the problem returns. If it doesn't start to add your apps one at a time until you find which is the culprit. If it fails to work with the basic stock ROM you most likely have a hardward problem.

Going for repair
Thanks for the replies, all. As the phone is a year old in June and will therefore be out of warranty I spent 45 minutes this lunchtime on the phone to T-Mobile to get it sent for repair! They were fine about it, just deeply inefficient. Anyway, a prepaid bag is on it's way for me to send back. Any ideas if they will try to repair or just swap it out with another one? I imagine a fault like this which might be software or hardware and which only manifests itself after a few days will be more trouble to fix than it's worth? Anyone had any experience of getting one repaired?
Thanks again,
Tim

yeah, I had been p[laying about with roms for a few weeks and after what I think may be water damage or a drunken drop, my screen stopped working.
Take into account it was christmas time but still I received a brand new phone but had the old battery cover haha. They replaced the stylus too. My old phone was battered and screen was scratched so I was totally happy with the 3 week wait.
No questions asked although I did return my rom to exactly the one it came with, i was unable to re cid lock it.
Overall give T-mob time and it seems they replace phones ok
i did take mine into a t-mobile shop so don't know if that makes a difference (time etc) and was not covered by t-mobile insurance but my bank account has free phone insurance as back up
Hope that was of some help

how to reset call timer with mtty? comands needed!!

i want to reset call timer with mtty?does any one know?

what is the right code to enter to radio bootloader and so on?
hope somebody can help me.

cheers
kris

same here mtty doesnt work with blackstone.

hello mate
no,
it does work with HD,
we just need to find right commands for radio bootloader
i'm sure olipro knows this

is there any solution to reset timers on the Touch HD?

i had jasjar and i tried this on it and it works on all pda phones inculding hd
calculate the call times in months or days not in minuts
for example
all the calls are (XXX mins) which is equal to 3 days,,
so what u do is
make a call
to any number
and while the call is still going ,,go to the time and change the date 3 days back
and then save it..get back to the call (which is still going on) u'll see the call timer is a BIG number..close the call
and u'll find that ur all call duration is reduced to the amount of days or months
so in short
count the timer in weeks or days and change ur phone time back the same amount during any call
then make the calendar date correct
and this won't go after flashing roms

iPAQ 614c - odd reboots when battery in half

So yes , when the battery is like 50 or something similar (or 44) some times (some times !) when i get a call (and i use my phone for bussines so this is kind of disturbing...) when call is recived phone reboots , or stays in a state in which the screen goes dark , vibrate is on (its enabled for call along with ringtone) and nothing only reset helps (using stylus)
I had official rom 6.0 (sucks but im sure everyone knows that fact) Yevg001 WM6.1 same crap , i really dont know whats wrong , but its like that since i bought it i suppose i just charge to full when i leave home and not worry, but there are days when i need to make and recive lots of calls from customers etc , and as the phone reboots there isnt any record what was the last call
Any one had this ? any suggestions , hell i'll even change rom if some one solved it that way , but i did that from 6.0 > 6.1 same
All help appreciated

i heard it is a defective battery circuit issue, i suggest you contact hp for exchange

Okay , but i've bought it in poland (well online) but i've got the recit, so this must be sent to HP,how much time can it take (i know they will give me some Toshiba G910 as replace for few days but...i would like to know some estimate from experience of any one who returned it to RMA
Thanks for the info i was wondering what is going on with my phone

My experience with hp guarantee service is excellent, they replaced my 614c bricked unit in only one week, with their pick and return service. they work with UPS saver service.
They ask me to send just the device (without battery, sd card, stylus and battery cover). Then all was as they told me it shoud be. In your case i dont know how it will be, as it is a battery issue the warranty procedures could be different.

Please Help - Sound Problem (My First EXEC)

Hi, i bought an used exec from ebay and received it right now (the seller sayed it was 100% functional) but it have some issues and i want to know if these issues can be easily fixed, if they are sofware or hardware problem... and... HOW TO FIX THEM .
So... here is:
1.: The phone doens't make any sound, (any speakers works, even when i put a headset it doesnt work). But, when i'm in a call EVERYTHING WORK, i can hear like a normal call, or with speaker normally.
2.: Some times when i turn on the phone it shut down after the "windows mobile" screen or it quikshow the today screen and shut down. So i wait and.. it turns on normally ...and some time after it shows the same issue again.
Please please, help me, i don't know what to do .
Ow, wich button should i press for TURN OFF the phone, not to hibernate...
Very thanks for your attention guys and sorry for my bad english,
Daniel.

Even a flash via SEUS does NOT reset Call Timers?!

How is this possible, even a complete re-flash will NOT erase the Total Call Counter! Anybody got a solution for this? It cannot be reset ( only the other setting!) .

Hi, it seems this info is captured on your sim-card.., I guess.

On almost any phones the call timer and other relevant timer as the slider counter are stored in a different place.
So unless you find an hacking tool that reset those values they are still consistent, with the phone usage. And there's noting wrong in that.

to tell you that even my local SE office could not change that time, i had my x2 changed - they try to give me a phone with about 400min call - i refused and ask for brand new - they need another 2 days (tried to made it back to 00 but could not) before agreeing to give me a new one with 00:00 time call (3 different IMEI i checked)

Call timers are not supposed to be easy to reset. This helps prevent fraud!
So basically no one can try to sell a well used device and claim it an new or almost new etc

what a smart posting! Nobody said it was "easy". Nothing is easy, not even smart postings
