the date on my BA resets each time i soft reset it. it actually moves one day ahead, always. i dont know whats wrong with it. i have had this problem for quite a while now, i never did mind it before, but it's starting to be annoying now everytime i soft reset my phone coz of some problem, and i have to adjust the date over and over.
Is the time correct? May be due to your regional setting. I guess.

Hmpf, I'm major pi**ed off, mates. Last night - while reading an eBook - my XDA2 just stopped working. Soft resets didn't do any good - the process always stopped at the first O2 screen and nothing then happened anymore. So I ended up doing a hard reset!
OK, now it's back, but I like to know what heppened and how I can prevent iy happening again... I think it may be related to the 32 processes limitation... I am running the ScaryBear tools to kill double-listed processes, but I haven't done a soft reset for a week or so before last night...
What do you guys think. How frequently do you soft reset your device?
Removing the battery sometimes helps.
I don't know why I'm having this problem but at least twice a day I have to soft reset my phone because of a program not closing or opening "hanging" the phone in state where nothing works. I also have to soft reset because of bluetooth problems. Sometimes the phone will tell me that it doesn't have bluetooth hardware or I won't be able to open the bluetooth window to turn it on or off or discoverable. Then I must reset to get it to work. What a pain! These problems are driving me nuts and I don't know what to do about it. I am considering abandoning this phone because of it's unreliability but it has so many features that it's hard to let it go. Please help me!
First of all - don't abandon the phone; this is NOT normal behavior for this PDA/phone and there should be a solution to your problems. I have had this phone (i-mate) for months, and it has always been stable and trustworthy.
Next, it would be helpful for you to post your current ROM information - (Start -> Settings -> System -> Device Information)
Next, list the programs you have installed.
Have you tried Hard Resetting the device (after backing it up) and using it for a while without installing ANY additional software? This will tell you if the base hardware/software is performing correctly. If that works, try installing any additional software ONE AT A TIME and using the device for a while after each one to make sure that one works. Then, if that one is OK, install the next one. This should pinpoint any software that causes the problems.
Let us know the results of your tests.
1. When did you last HardReset? - Sometimes a few hours of work make your life really better! :lol:
2. What's the ROM version? - Possibly you should upgrade.
3. Did you notice that you are using WindowsMobile2003 - usage of internet connection with WindowsXP without a couple of restarts never happened to me, so I don't expect Windows Mobile work with more stability! :wink: Kidding!
Conclusion: don't give up the phone - you just have to make clear what goes wrong! Good luck!
Nope, not normal usage. I've been using my i-mate for 2 weeks without a hard reset now, but just today it hard resetted on me (due to wisbar advance 2.) I'm not sure how wisbar does it, but it always gives me problems w/ it installed.
my observations
I'm a new user of the XDA I, and I find that I haven't had any unexpected hard resets yet (fingers crossed) but that I do need to soft reset at least once per day, usually to get the machine to (re)connect thru ActiveSync...
I only get the dreaded, continious soft reset problem when I install loads of crappy software.
Have you installed any share/freeware latetely.
If so only a hard reset will fix it.
SoftResets are tolerated, HardReset - once upon 2-3 months. If more often or auto - change the ROM. Auto HardReset happened to me twice - always after flashing.
So I'm a stickler for stability and it drives me nuts (we all have our weird problems ) when things don't run stably.
i.e. I take very good care of my Windows XP PC, it's been running for 12 weeks straight now without needing a reboot, power down, nothing. Rock solid. I love it.
I'm running the Cing 8125 with the new QTEK AKU2 ROM. It's been running pretty well but I'm having the same problem I had witht he original Cingular ROM.
For whatever strange reason and ONLY when I'm not using the 8125, it seems it will soft reset which makes it impossible to pinpoint the cause. I know it has soft-reset because
a) My memory is back at like 23MB free which is what I have after soft-reset.
b) None of my apps are running anymore - duh!
c) Best of all, I have a today plug-in that keeps track of uptime so I know EXACTLY when the soft-reset happened.
I can't understand what would trigger it, when I'm actually using it, the device is fast and solid. I'm not running any crazy apps that I would think could lead to this unstability.
How long have you gone without a soft-reset? What's bizzare is the most recent soft reset happened this morning at exactly 1:00AM!!!! What are the odds of a random reset happening exactly at 1AM? No, I don't have any notifications, alarms or anything around that time.
Here's the uptime meter I'm using if you want to try it out:
http://www.freewareppc.com/utilities/uptimemeter.shtml
I wish it would soft-reset when I was using it so I could at least know what was causing it.
The same is happening to me, although it soft resets once every 2 weeks or so. I must say I turn off the device every night, but it has happened to me 3 o 4 times since I installed de Qtek AKU2 ROM.
Any solution?
I mentioned this once before on here. I catch mine doing it at night sometimes (in the day its usually in my pocket so I don't know if it does it there).
I've only seen it a few times, maybe once every 2 weeks.
The odd thing is, that when restarting after it's random soft reset, it doesn't require me to enter my pin code. It's almost as if it knows that it's been naughty and was hoping I wouldn't notice
Maybe it's a "feature" of WM5?? :roll:
This is confusing!
I just carried out a soft reset on my device, carried out the same way I always soft reset my device. But after tapping in my lock code, keep getting message stating the code is incorrect.
This has baffled me, as I haven't even installed any new Apps, or carried out any new tweaks. It's as if the PHONE has changed the lock code after doing A SOFT RESET!
This happened to anyone else?
usually associated with installing swype 3.9 on a non tmous phone, although i also half remember similar behavour with exchange (not sure of this bit though)
oh, did you change the lockscreen in cookies? it gives a warning about not using passwords when messing with cookies lockscreen settings.
I haven't even installed any new Apps, or carried out any new tweaks.

i mentioned this above...
I may be wrong, but I clearly remember that soon after the discussion in here became lively since more people started to own the device, this problem has been reported several times even on pristine phones, where the phone would not simply change the code, but forget it altogether :-/
That's why I've never enabled it even if it would be a useful feature.

I never forget my code, as I use the same code as I always have done. So im still baffled about this
this happened to me on my omnia like two years ago. just a little soft reset and i had to hard reset to be able to use my phone again. i had to get all my contacts and data back manually and this was the time i figured why are there so many backup programs for winmo.... didn't know anything about this OS before..
now i just use sim PIN, never had trouble..
Luckily I got SPB backup installed, and have it set to do automatic backup every monday morning @ 3am, but still wondering why the phone lock code.changed simply by doing a soft reset :-/

I've had this happen a couple of times. The best I can come up with is something must write to the code's area whilst the phone is on. Like a buffer overflow... I had it happen on the stock ROM, and also on a custom ROM, but it hasn't happened recently... (I'm now on a recent 23xxx Energy ROM).
Need Help ASAP!, I cant even slide to unlock when it first starts.
It has always been crashing, and i have disabled my emails, and hardly have any programs and still. After all the patches and updates no change!
tried soft reset, took the battery out 1000 times.
this has happened to me for the second time in 3 months.
I did a hard reset last time to fix the problem, but i have to much valuable info, new contacts, notes, sms etc....
Is there anything else i can do to fix this problem, without a hard reset!
I cant take this phone anymore, it is horrible!
unlikely that you can fix it without hard reseting in one form or another.
rather than worrying about fixing it, first look into backing up your stuff, and then start looking at the freezing problem.

I think its the rom problem... next time you may choose a rom carefully... How to select a rom is a tough work... You could try to backup your files first...
Do the hardware buttons work?
My phone froze but it was a broken touch screen, fixed under warranty.

I am sorry that you are having the problem.
But it is not the phone. That I can be sure.
If you have modified the phone in anyway, some where along the line, something has gone wrong.
I used to have to hard reset many times when i got my first Windows Mobile Phone ( 2nd Generation HTC Tilt ).
I then went to the HTC Pure, and now I have the HD2.
It is a learning curve when you start adding programs and tweaks.
It takes time, trial, and more time.
I can tell you that I had to hard reset the HD2 just once.
I have over 200 tweaks, registry changes, programs, etc. The phone works great.
I now have learned to back up the system and registry just in case.
And pick and choose programs carefully. Buy only the ones you need.
Dont give up on the phone. Good luck.

Is the phone stock, or have you made modifications? When on and connected with usb to a pc, does active sync start on the pc? you may have to hard reboot: read: always make backups to the sd card (PIM backup, sktools, sprite backup, etc.) of critical data as soon as it hits your phone. If you are miserable with what you have on your phone, change it. I fell in love (from hate) with my HD2 when MIRI_DINIK V 17.0 WWE gave it a new soul. good luck.
