Here's what happened. The other day my XDA2 was working just fine, then all of sudden it started freezing up, bad. In the end in would just get stuck generally about a minute or so after a soft-reset.
I decided to do a hard-reset to try and fix the problem, guess what, it still freezes up anywhere between 20 seconds up to 4 minutes from a hard-reset.
the installed rom is
R 1.10.00
G 1337.18
D 1.52.00WWE
anyone have an idea what's wrong with it, hardware perhaps? any similar cases?
A wild suggestion to try to fix it...
If you already do not do this... make sure you request a PIN for Phone use. I have seen over here the problem as there was no signal, so the device hangs while waiting, giving you the impressoin it is dead.
My friend had his fixed this way
Nope the SIM doesn't seem to be the problem...
I've tried without the sim and with a different one didn't help one bit.....
thnx for the reply anyways
I finally got it connected to ActiveSync again, it still froze up but I found that i can browse the device anyway with my pc...
I guess this means I can also try and install a new ROM too. I'll let you guys know how it turned out
Alright I got it fixed
Here's what happened
I managed to get it into bootloader mode (power + action + stylus)
and then it was a simple procedure of upgrading or re-installing the rom
It seems that a corrupt rom was the cause of the problems
ok so the other night i realised my XDA2 had stopped vibrating all of a sudden, so i done a soft reset and it didnt help it, then i was doing a backup in xbackup so i could hard reset it and see if thast worked, but halfway through the back up i got a message and it vibrated to i canceld the upgrade and was happy, but by the end of the night it stopped again, so i backed up and hard reset, when i turned the phone onto to test the vibration, it still wasnt working. and also the battery seems to be draining itself alot quicker, im lucky to have more thatn 40% by the end of hte day if i charge it up over night the night before.
ill admit i have dropped the phone about 2 months ago, so i dont tihnk that is anything to do with the vibration stopping work, just letting u know so u know wots happend with it.
please help coz wen im at work i have to have it on silent and i dont know when people have text me (
some one must be able to help me?
dont worry now people it is fixed, i went to put it in my cradle which rests ontop of my pc tower and i kinda missed the cradle adn dropped it onto the desk, it now works fine )
HI
wonder if anyone can help me.
Ive had a few problems with my phone ever since i stared to change the roms on it. Something i have just put up with as it goes with the flow. Anyway just recently my phone is really being a pain no matter what rom i have installed . It just turns off or freezes and has also now started to play silly games like all of a sudden everything starts opening on the phone, and sometimes the screen dimms to black then goes off and wont turn on unless i leave the battery out for a good five mins. anybody got any ideas about this all help would be welcomed.
JUst updated the Radio rom to the lastest one i could find on here seems to have helped a bit.
Andy
Have you disassembled it or got it wet? One of the hardware buttons may be stuck. Are they all working?
No all the buttons work ok mate. this evening ive tried a different rom and it seems to be ok ill run it for a few days see if it improves or goes back to being a pain.
I was wondering if it could be the battery its about 12 months old now (due an upgrade an dthinking of the diamond), Phone normally gets fully charged every couple of days.
Hi Everyone,
I'm having some issues with my P3600.
Sometimes (to many times in the past days) while making something on it, the image on the screen suddenly mess up (freezes and weird image) and hangs. Then after the soft reset, somethimes the image stays black, and finally on the 5\6 try it boots fine...
Also noticed that this occurs more while connecting the usb cable jack to sync...
Already make some hardresets and some rom upgrade tests... Also tryed some wm61 cooked rooms, no luck.
Anyone already got this? I think there's must be some problem on the flat cable that connects the lcd-board. Can anyone help me whit some more ideas... before I decide to open it?
Thanks In advantage

it happens the same to me... the pixels all messed up... i dont know wath is the problembut i think its the flat cable ... becouse i have open it one time 3months ago and now its fine. now yesterday have done the same thing
sorry my english
Ok, I open it last night based on the service manual I found somewhere on the Internet, the flat cable looks fine... Now this morning this same situation occurred again, this time while unplugging the usb charger. I Think there's must be some problem on the usb connector. The usb connector is part of the main board so it could be a hardware board issue? Anyone got this on problem on Trinity? Any troubleshooting tips ideas will be appreciated...

hi,
same here. trinity hangs up after some time, screen stays black, when i try to wake it up.
have to hard reset several times and it wont boot for some trys, then with luck the windows sometimes finaly starts. I already changed the simcard and removed the sd-storagecard.
The vodafone hotline adwised me to send it in. Seems to me like a hardware issue.
My trin is about 1 year old.
(sry for my bad english)

No solution Yet???????
hi,
same here. trinity hangs abouth 3 or 4 time a day, screen stays black, when i try to wake it up.
have to hard reset several times and it wont boot for some trys, then with luck the windows sometimes finaly starts
hi, the same to me... it's like the rom's, after a few soft reset couldn't find the necessary files to start again.... and sometimes, after meny tries, it starts well... it's like the ppc processor gets tired and goes to stand by..... it starts freezing the display, and loosing some pixels. so the only things to do is soft resetting the device... any solution? thanks
same with my htc - it appears to me that the errors occur when the trinity was used for a while and the processor was getting warm. the files and folders on the sd-card show strange symbols. but i have also problems when i stick out the sd-card completely.
i will send it to htc repair center - i just hope that they will not send it back as the errors occur only frequently.
so long,
bjoern
solution solved
take taste power and center ok reset take few sec to powering and phone starting
or power and run and stop call reset and phone starting on factory powering
not solved at all
sorry no - this is not the point - i think all guys here have (hard- and soft-) reset their Trinity more than 50x!
the problem is that once the software has crashed you can`t reset it for about 20min - it seems that the processor has to cool down or something like that - after a while (if I´m lucky) my P3600 boots as normal.
I already flashed several new roms - same problem with all of them - I`m pretty sure it`s a hardware failure.
Hello, i don't have any such problem, my Trinity runs very stable even with cooked roms. but sometimes Mobile navigator 7 takes too much memory so the System becomes instable and i have to softreset it.
Hi, mine bug also, and that's begin 2 or 3 days after I have flash to the 1.56.70.11 Radio Rom....
mine worked fine for about 1 1/2 years but suddenly it crashed continous. i havent flashed it and allready hard reseted several times on different days. sometimes it worked for a while but hangs if i started a bigger app like tomtom. vodafone told me they will exchange my p3600. now im waiting for their call
E: Got a new one today which works perfectly so far!
Hi guys,
has anyone had this issue solved without swapping the device?
I have the same problem.....
Bye
Petz
Same problem here...
I have to sftreset or hard reset several times to get it runing again...
In my opinion its some kind of problem with the processor...
Stiil i'm hoping this is a software insue... so that sone one have a hotfix for that...
For my part, when my Trinity crash, I remove the mini-SD, the SIM card and the battery. I just re put the battery, restart (soft reset until WM has realy start, and no more touch or screen freezes), I replace the sim, restart again.. and finaly I replace the mini-sd. It's very long, but generally works well
EDIT:
Finally, I better make my tongue and keep my method for me because at evening begin, my trinity crashed and impossible to turn it on until I finally come back house and have no need more...
my hand that it will crash tomorow morning juste after leave to works
hi, i started getting the same problem.
only thing different is I upgraded to wm6.1 (Mary SL)
I took it back to wm6 which was still locking, then down to wm5.
1week later no issue!
maybe the wm6+ os's needs more cpu than wm5 and causes it to overheat!
just a thought!

I don't think so because I downgraded my Trinity to original WM5 and, even if there were less crashes, it crashed anyway.
Now it's still with WM5 but it doesn't start anymore, only backlight.

I want to let you known that my Trinity has run ok for 5 hours without any issue after putting some paper between battery and metallic plate under the battery.
I had to press a little over the rear cover to have it placed correctly because the battery is higher than before.
Keep in mind that it stopped running completely 3 monthes ago, it didn't start anymore and it didn't even go into bootloader mode.
Now I'm using WinMobile 6.5 beta........
Ciao!

But now after many time try the phone is ON and again sometime just off after 2 3 or 10min. The phoblem is not from some problem I do many hard resets but still problem. Now I re-flash IPL with last version 2.*****.1 and can't unlock for re-flashing with other version. Can you tell me some good english rom for xda_nova and from where is this problem?

it`s a very big problem of this model it`s hardware and you need to disasamble and put something on the processor to make pressure to him

I've got the same problem after flashing the ROM. The Phone goes OF every time it goes in energy saving modus. So I turnes of the funktion (Backlight of after xxx sconds) don't know exacliy how it is called in english. Now the phone stays on, but of course now the battery power went down verry fast!
If I touch the Power Button which do the same (Energy saving modus) the phone goes OF as well. Sometimes it restarts emediatly some times not.
this is not the sollution for the problem, but I think it would be nice to know if we have the same problem.
i've had the same problem. First it looks like slide2unlock caused this problem. I never used this program, and my elf worked fine. After using slide2unlock the elf suddenly started to auto switch off..
Upgraded my rom to the latest TESS (lite) and changed pagepool back to 4 mb => no more auto off problems
MY Problem is fixed too
Hi,
In the meantime I've fixed this problem as well.
I had an ELF ROM running on an ELFin device. Thought that the model name would be the Model_ID. ... Well ... now I know better.
One ELFin is brocken now (don't do anything, not even powering up or so), but the second one is now working fine.
regards
