Xda Universal - A Misery- Help Needed (Any genius)

Hi! i have a universal jasjar, since i have brought the device, iam facing problems everyday.i had broken my lcd earlier n had to pay 200 pounds to get it fixed and now its broken again..i think it has the most fragile screen i have ever seen..has any 1 got it fixed for cheap?
the other problem is i was working on my pda(with the broken screen), it suddenly said yr phone is running out of memory, please close applications..i rebooted and it started in safe mode ( i have spb pocket plus installed) and then again rebooted ..now it is only rebooting..the flash screen shows up for a min. then screen goes off and then it again reboots..
Can some 1 please help..
Hey man,
Put yr device in Bootloader mode and reflash CE ROM...BTW where in India u hv replaced the screen...I think 200 GBP is too high...I know the person who looks after the I-mate service center and from there it shd not cost more than 15k INR...
Help
How do i put it in bootloader mode? i had got it changed from imate service centre in delhi, rajouri garden..they charged me 15500 INR..equivalent to 200 GBP.. they are cheaper alternatives available in market..just tryin to find them..
Press Light+camera+Powwer and simultaneously soft rest...u will see "serial" on the screen(without light)...attach data cable and run the ROm update...If u are facing problem u can call me @ +919890034127...may be I can guide u.
Re: Help
Gosh that sucks. These guys are really ripping all of us off.
People in the UK are buying the Exec for about 200 pounds and we have to spend that amount only to get the screen changed? Unreal.
Hope you find a better alternative. Would the O2 centre in GKI be any better and would they repair it?
They are at B149, GKI, number: 29236251/29236554.
Cheers, Vikas.
If I can help in any way, feel free to PM me.

Hi Vikas and Nishant,
O2 Exec will not be released in India and hence u won't get warranty for the same..it is only JASJAR and I mate so....
I still doubt that UK will hjave cheap resources for the LCD as it been mfrd in Taiwan...
If someone have contact in HK...one can really get cheaper resource...FOr Ex I normally get XDA 2 screens at 4-5k(Landed in Pune)..
Hey Nish, where are you in the UK? Passing though my way? Stop by for a cup o' tea. Good place called Tiffin Bite I can recommend to you.

Take it to service center..
i am in india n there is no sevice center here in india.i have to send it to singapore which is nearest.
Usually these symptoms mean the little speaker has had its contacts bent. I had the exact same thing happen, and it was fixed by opening the entire phone and straightening them out. Havn't had the problem since.
Here's a guide if you're keen enough: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=234650
I had a very similar problem with the speakers as well, all i did was put the volume right up to its max and played some music and within about 10 mins they were working again.
Thank u for replying me..i will try it out..n inform u people.thanks once again for ur support.
Sathya
EDIT:I tried palying songs continually for more than 10 mins with full volume but for no use
Sathya,
Its more likely that your device still thinks the headphones are plugged in and redirects all sound to that pin. This happened to my Magician, especially after removing the headphones after use.
I read somewhere in here, that if you plug-in the headphones, and instead of pulling them out softly, just yank them out, that way the loose contacts or whatever is causing the problem will set right.
It worked for me and hope it does for you.
As for service centres, there are atleast 5 authorised centres in India and scores of Un-authorised centres . Where are you located, I can post some known centres addresses .
Let us know if this works.
Thank u people...for ur support..
My speakers went to dogs..i got new speakers n my PDA is fine now.
Thank u once again.

Pls help , JAS JAM

Dear XDA Forum members,
Need you help . I purchased a new Imate JASJAM after few days of using the PPC , i noticed a strange thing happening on my phone. All the application just closes automatically . when i open any apps it just closes within seconds , i am just able to receive calls and no other functions work . I took it to the imate service center couple of times now but after they handed over the phone to me , the problem persists after using the phone for 2 days . It seems very strange to me . Request your help/suggestion and solution to control this problem so that i can use the PPC again without any problems
What did the service center tell you was wrong with it?
And have you tried just doing a system restore?
Hi,
The service center restored my mobile device from WM6 to WM5 as it was not compatible, earlier they thought it was an software issue and then the hard ware was also checked but to no avail. after sometime of working on the ppc , the programs just closes immediately within seconds of opening.
It should run WM6 just fine, they also have a wm6 rom for your device so that should tell you somthing.
sounds like they didnt know what was wrong with it.
Tell them your unhappy with it and you want a replacment, thats if u havent unlocked it>
Or maybe someone else here willl reply with a better solution.
To me though it sounds faulty
Seems your not the only one with issues with this phone
did a quick google search
Well the phone is not under any warranty , checked lots of links in google but never helped . Just hopes somebody comes out with a solution . Already have paid enough for service of the phone at the service center .....pls help

If you got the phone from a legit source it should have had some type of warrenty at one time. And if so was it in for repairs during that period. Just asking cuz thats your proof that the problem was never resolved and they should still provided you with a replacement.I could be wrong but Id look into it more.
anyways hope you get this resolved...Good luck

Ok, real long shot. We have several Jasjams. One of our Jasjams had an issue with a broken OK button (near the scroller). The button just stopped working altogether. Is it possible that yours has lost it's click and it keeps pressing ok, shutting the programs? If that's the case, see if it's possible to reset the function for the broken button in the settings.
Hi there, what ver of WM6 you upgraded to? the ok button theory seems true, but just tell me what WM6 did u use? did u try 1 Version only or you tried many?
if you think this is a OS problem, try upgrading to Schap's 4.22 or TNT.SE, these are the best two versions ever, i am using Schap's on my JASJAM and its just perferct wihtout flaws, try installing it and see what happens with you.
jasjam warranty
if you bought it from a legit place and haven't put any cooked roms on you should be able to get it replaced if it goes bung in the first month. the store should replace with no questions asked if there is a problem that they cant resolve..... imate also has a years warranty on new phones so you should be able to send to them and be fixed AT NO COST TO YOU (excluding postage).
suggest taking back and if they say theres no problem test b4 taking out of the shop. all the help i can give, Cheers.

Not switch on
possible resuscitation for you wiz 200
I had some bad flashes with my wiz 200 too, a K-jam to be exact
my best guess is dig a bit deeper in the wizard forum
and you find out that there ways to revive it.
1 thing you could try is,
remove your SD-card
get a very bright spot-light so you can see if you phone is working, only the backlight is not activated
press and hold the camera button and press power on, release the power button and you should get a 3 color bar screen.
If it doesn't, search for the MMC restore trick somewhere on this forum
please let us if it worked
Atleast the MMC trick saved my tiny behind
I wish i could search it for you, but i can't open multiple tabs yet on my mobile
ok dear i try this method..if get it ...
it will be the best and best work in my life....
i keep try to unbrick my wizard 200 ...
i only stop searching ...after i die....
i work hard for it...lets wait...i just checking..
well the good news is you could get a broken screen wizard for pretty cheap.

actually my jasjar suddenly started behavin weird it switched off by itself n wen i switched it back on after the windows mobile screen shows up my jasjar gets a dead blue screen n nothin happens.
tried to connect with active sync 4.0 and 4.1 bt it would not respond and show dat the phone is not connected.
i came across a thread in which a guy said to press bright light button + power button+softreset it sent my phone to a usb mode
then i used mtty tool and its command task 28 to check if my jasjar is wasted or still breathin lucky enough it dint give a formatfaliure msg and there were some steps i followed .
everything went as told n now m stuck on where to get official wm5 for jasjar and how to get out of the usb screen and how to flash the rom...??
please help
To exit boot loader mode: http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=Uni_Stuck_Bootloader
With regard to restorig WM5 - I have the official O2 XDA Exec files for their last software release. But I think you said your's is an iMate.You could see if the iMate version listed here: http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=Universal_Upgrades is still available - if not maybe someone has a copy somewhere.
Hope this helps.
hey dat was gr8 bro....bt m still stuck with finding of wm5 for my imate ...!!
i found i mate upgrade bt when i clicked on download an error popped up "550 or 505 change of directory sumthin..."

thank you so much ..<!!
bro thankx for help i actually flashed my uni with kdskamal cooked wm5 bt my jasjar still gets dead on a greenish screen as it used to get before in blue screen wht m i supposed to do...??
Hi,
Try flashing with a WM6 rom (Tomal's ROMs are always good) and see if you get the same symptoms.
If you do then I suspect that you have a screen/cable connecting screen problem.
But lets rule out software first.
greetings bro...!!
i was up all night flashing wms
i used mtty software so many times that its commands are like hard weird in my brain cant get them out now....lolzzz
my stubborn uni was still stuck on the same dead screen but the only fun thing was that every time i flashed a new wm it used to get stuck on diff colours blue red green black...lolzzz
i scratched my head and i scratched my ass to an extent that i guess it started thinking lolzzz
i got some nice screw drivers and opened up my uni..
damn dis thing is wicked and messy it has things dat i dont know about n havnt even dreamd of in my stupidest dream i hav been lost in a computer motherboard with some good virus as my friend n some bad scary virus but in my uni motherboard i would neva..!
so i just fixed it back...n it worked for a while n den i dont know what tickled its ass.
busted again...!!
i guess ill hit the HTC service centre.
thanx allot bro
respect for ur effort and help...
Hi
for some strange reason the option "incoming com port" in the blue-tooth setting on my jasjar has disappeared. i was wondering if anyone else faced the same problem or if there is a way around it? editing registry n stuff.
because of this the previously paired devices are working fine but the new devices are unable to search the serial/com port facility on my uni.
i have tried resetting but still no luck.
any suggestions?
also i would really appreciate if someone could give me a solution for reading arabic and other such languages on uni.
(btw i am using i.e.TML 8.5 Rom and when i installed it at first the functionality was present so it cant be a ROM issue.)
...
lol... sorry abt earlier maite! i just realized the ridiculous thing i just did. i was supposed to post the reply to ur prob and then start with my sad story but somhow i managed to skip step one .
i m not expert on the device but i like it very much so i when i got one with my o2 contract i bought another one sim free just so that one would keep other company. as far as ur issue goes i have faced almost the same prob in the past and the solution was
1) rotate the screen 90 to get acess to screws at the bottom of the screen.
2) open the screws screws ... btw u might wana check if they are properly fastend before you try this step as i observed that if the screws are properly tightened this problem may solve itself... carrying on open the screws and that would detach the screen from the hinges.
3) where the hinge comes off strip open the cover a little bit and you will see two connections, one for the backlight and one for display (just like any other LCD screen.
4) press the big grip like thingee i.e. display connector with a flathead screw driver to assure they are properly in place. because in my case the connector had come off and hence was causing the system crash. although in my case the screen was only going blue after a while not the whole color palette.
just try if this one works because i m not sure if imate people are going to be any help in this case. i tried calling them a few months back for the lenscover and they said they dont support this device any more :S.
