Dear All,
I have had my SPV now for about 4 weeks now and very pleased with it. However, twice in the last week it hasn't responded when I turned it
on and ended up removing and re-inserting the battery. When it comes back, it starts with the "Welcome to Pocket PC" setup wizard and all my data is gone.
Has anyone else had this problem. This problem has happened with both
versions of the ROM. The only s/w I am running is
Tube (VisualIT)
MS Arcade Pack (Pacman, DigDug etc)
MS Voice Command
Agenda Fusion
CityTime
Regards & Thanks
Chris
Yeah i got the same problem. But it happens when I upgraded my ExtRom from Orange.com. Sometimes it stays at suspend mode, then i have to perform a hard reset to wake up the device. Very odd.

I have had my M1000 for about four weeks too now and although it occasionally soft resets it never fails to respond to the power button. Maybe you have a faulty phone?
On a different note, you say you have Voice Command, I was looking for places that sell it in the UK but it appears to only be available in the US, if you could let me know where you got it I would be really grateful.
Hope you sort your phone out!

High all
No probs so far
Swiss m1000 installed Programs
Pocket Hack Master ( Overlock your PDA )
Pocket Mechanic ( Clean Defragment and more )
Snails ( adictive Worms(TM) Clone )
Crazy Cart ( adictive Mario Cart(TM) clone
and lots more.
Im overlocking my CPU to 530 MHZ and no Trubbles so far.
Got the thing for two months now, running in this config for about one month.
Peace
Yep, I am having the same problem or much the same problem. The unite works fine until every four or five days when I notice that the bluetooth light and the green phone radio light are flashing (even though bluetooth is turned off). It does not respond to the power button and then lights go off when I try a soft reset. The only way I can get it back on it with a hard reset.
It does not seem to be a battery issue as the battery is fully charged and when I try plugging in the Charger (before doing the hard reset) the charging light does not light up. I have had the same problem with several M1000s from Orange.
Anyone have any ideas at to what might be going on?
Thanks,
Steve

With Orange Switzerland SPV M1000 I experience the following problems:
1) Bluetooth lights (blue light) and the battery lights flashes even though
bluetooth is not connected and the battery level is fine.
2) Once every other day the device (though fully charged) freezes and I end up doing soft reset.
3) Removing battery already puts the device to soft reset. Orange
4) The activeSync is running without me having to start any activeSync session.
5) Abruptly I get message the memory is full and the device then freeses.
Is anyone having the above problems? How do i resove this?
Many thanks
Swissmate

SAME PROBLEM AS THE REST OF YOU WHO HAVE THEIR SPV FREEZED UP VERY OFTEN. IN MY CASE IT'S EVERY 3 OR 4 DAYS, POWER BUTTON AND SOFT REST DOES NOT RESPONDE, SO IT'S EITHER HARD RESET OR SOMETIMES SIMPLY REMOVING THE BATTERY DOES THE WORK. I HAD MY PHONE REPLACED 3 TIMES ALREADY AND STILL THE SAME PROBLEM EVEN WITHOUT INSTALLING ADDITIONAL SOFTWARE BUT WHAT CAME BUNDLE WITH THE ORANGE PHONE. IS THIS A ROM BUG ???
SPV M1000 FRANCE
SD CARD 1 GB
OMEGA ONE BATTERY PACK PRO
OMEGA ONE JOURNAL BAR
SPB GPRS MONITORS.
FORTUNATELY I USE THE X BACKUP PROVIDED WITH THE PHONE TO SAVE MY DATA, BUT IT'S TIME COMSUMMING AND REPETITIVE AS AFTER EACH TIME THE PHONE RESETS ITSELF, I HAVE TO RESTORE IT AGAIN AND AGAIN. :evil: :twisted:
IF SOMEBODY COULD IDENTIFY THE PROBLEM, THIS WOULD HELP A LOT OF PEOPLE LIKE ME
THANKS

There have been frequent reports of this problem- Orange are aware of it, and are replacing M1000's as required. They are currently testing a new ROM, so it appears that they think it may be a ROM problem, though it could also be a batch of faulty hardware.
Another possibility
Turning off the record button seems to have helped, could it be that this is being caught and filling memory / draining batrtery?
3rd phone 3 weeks.
Great when working - anyone using a GPS receiver? Tried a TomTom with an XDA 2 lead is not recognised

Remember you have to turn of the IR in settings>connections>beam before a GPS will be recognised.

we got almost 30 of these at our work, it seems the only one to have this problem is... my one! so i swapped it for another one and it did the same problem... hmm, they must not like power users, the other users are idiots so they dont really mess about with the settings n all
anyhooz, ill be upgrading all of em to SE very soon and i doubt that rom will have the same glitch...
who knows... now that we can confirm (99%) that SE works on the xda II maybe the operators will now make an official upgrade to SE... they have no reason not to
regards

Hmm. That is interesting. Only having one here - and having problems - I do not have much to compare.
Do you think the problem comes from changing the standard settings or using extra software then?
By the way the new ROM does not seem to make much difference in terms of this problem, alas!
Exactly the same thing to me...
Every 5 or 6 days... it goes of for no reason, and the only way to wake it up is to hard reset it! weird SPV... maybe some day a nice guy will come up with a solution to our problem! Hopefully...
:shock:
To keep an old thread alive
Those experiencing issues with this device going into coma (requiring Hard Reset to clear)please would you post detailed accounts of when the issue occurs.
Please confirm power settings, what applications were open on the device and whether the radio or BT was on.
Does the problem occur off or on charge, if on does same problem occur if charged from travel charger not dock?
If off charge, if known - state both internal and external battery charge levels when problem occurs?
What is seen on the handset at point of coma?
Working from soft Reset through battery off to hard reset, what was necessary to restore the device and did soft reset or battery off result in a dump?
Could ROM V's and bootloader V's also be stated.
cheers guy's, together we'll crack it
To keep an old Thread Alive
:roll: I have had my phone from about June last year. The first reset occurred about the 3rd Jan this and two more occurring in the past few weeks the last one on sat 12th Feb
The history as I can recall with the last reset is as follows. I took the phone out from work (cradle) Friday afternoon after 4pm don’t think it was put to charge again before the incident also the phone was not used very often as its a work phone. It was on stand by all day Saturday with the green light flashing but no signal input was being received as I was expecting a cal which never came only to find out the phone was off as mentioned by the caller when I called them. Got home about 530pm with the light still flashing and tried to switch the phone on after finding out no signal was received, the light then went out. Could remember this quite distinctly as it happed on the previous occasion. To activate the phone i have to take the battery and sim card out as with the previous occasion put the card in another/different phone to activate it (make a cal) then put the card and battery back in for the phone to work when it would then go through the reset process. Once working on checking, both battery powers were very low think less than 50% as when i checked some time after they were up to 75%
Am in an office with 3 other users and the only one with this problem and am on my 3rd phone since the year started. It seems to be linked with low battery power (both) and extended stand by when it completely shuts down. Trust this would help to get us a stage further.
i have had two m1000's with this problem,
orangecare stepped up for the replacement and i upgraded the 2nd to win2003se and it still does it!
i make scheduled backups now and have learnt to live with it until my contract expires..
on another seperate note..

MORE ON THIS
I had an M1000 that worked fine but a small problem occured and orange replaced it - the new one had this problem every 7 days or so - the bluetooth light was flashing although not switched on and when I try to turn phone on it wont - remove/replace bat and resets - I upgraded to ROM 2.02 from this forum but was using origional orange extended rom and it made no difference - if it is a rom problem its in oranges extended rom
I was on a 166wwe - boot loader 1.06 - dont know radio version but was still happening after DCM 2.02 WM2003SE WWE from this forum with radio 1.18.00 and original ORANGE ext rom so if is on ROM is definatley oranges ext rom that has a problem. - HAS ANYONE HAD THIS HAPPEN WHILE ON CHARGE????
THEY REPLACED MY PHONE WITH A REFURB - ITS NOW FINE BUT IM NOT HAPPY
guys lets think here
were all orange subs so its got to be an orange thing (so unlikley to be hardware) - there are people here (myself included) who have upgraded radio and OS so I am begining to think it is in the extended rom on these machines - has anyone who has replaced extended rom had this trouble - I would experiment but no longer have this fault - I never thought Id wish I could get it back but now I think I can see a resolve
we need an orange customer who does not have this trouble to post extended rom on here for us all to try????? - - - Please ??????
it would be nice to crack this one guys keep plugging on
Had my M100 nearly a year now and after many many resets decided to call Orange as I would have thought this was a known problem with them. But according to technical they have never seen this before!!!
There response was ... backup your data! doh!
I told them I did and it was unacceptable to say this as the thing is faulty it takes over an hour to reload the data and it's happend 4 times since I called them 4 days ago.
:twisted:
PS: has anyone got a copy of the original 1.66 rom as you can no longer get it from Orange.
Hi...
I did a quick search on this but couldn't find an existing topic on it - apologies if its alrady been coverd...
I'm having the occasionl problem where my M3100 flags up a warning and tells me the battery is low even though its fully charged (I think its also powered itself down a few times because of this too...).
A soft reset doesn't seem to fix it but switching the device off and on again does.
Anyone else experienced this and more importantly has anyone got any suggestions on how to prevent / fix it?
TIA
Minestorm
Had my UK Orange SPV M3100 since last Monday and it's been working fine re battery.
In fact, i've been surprised how good the battery life has been so far!
See tag for my ROM details...
My son is unable to turn his tytn on, I think the battery has run down completely, as when I turn it on, I get the "smart mobilty" flash screen with the RGB data, then it turns off as if completely flat, when I plug the charger in, the led charging lighton the top of the phone does not light. At the moment I have tried removing the battery for a while to see of that "resets" it, I have also tried soft reseting but no joy yet.
Any suggestions?
Does it charge if you replace the battery and don't attempt to turn it on, just plug it straight in to the charger?
Also are you using the official charger?
Using official HTC charger (tried 2, both work ok on my TP2)
No when plugged in still no lights come on, doing a bit of research last night, It sounds like a fuse has blown? I have been quoted £46 to fix (+ £6 postage each way = £58) is it worth having it repaired?

I agree it sounds like the motherboard fuse has blown (This is usually the case if there is no Red LED lighting up). The only other possibility is that the usb charging port is damaged - but unless it received some rough treatment that is less likely perhaps.
Is it worth repairing - The Tytn was a classic in it's day, but prone to be low on internal memory and consequently can lock up and freeze - requiring soft re-setting quite frequently. Having said that it can still compete with newer phones in terms of the range of functions it can perform. If cost is an issue then I'd consider a second hand TyTn II (Kaiser), if not then take your pick of newer devices.
Having said all that, even now aTyTn for £58 is not completely unreasonable, BUT why did the fuse blow?? It is possible there are other fault(s).

Sorry, my first post didn't make it clear, it is a TYTN 2

Not to be picky or anything but this is the TyTn forum, there is a TyTn II (Kaiser) forum.

Need help with my imate JasJam
Hi, I have a problem with my JasJam that I need help with. I recently upgraded my i-mate jasjam's OS from Windows Mobile 6 to 6.5. The ROM upgrade was successful and everything seemed to work. But while exploring the new features of WM 6.5, the modem connected to a 3G network or the GPS was activated, I'm not too sure(I live in the Caribbean..there are no 3G networks available here). While on the internet the phone froze, so I took out the battery to restart. When I did the phone froze after the "HTC" screen just after you trun on the phone. Can anyone help? I need help asap...thanks in advance!

Not to be picky or anything, but I posted in the wrong forum by mistake, saw "tytn" and jumped in, but thankyou for your hospitality, off now, bye!
I've had my Jade for about a year, and yesterday managed to encounter quite an unfortunate glitch where the phone has started thinking my headset is plugged in when it's not
This of course, makes talking on the phone without a headset impossible, unless I want to use speaker mode
I tried performing a hard reset on my phone, which did nothing
After that, I was able to temporarily fix the issue by setting the 'headset' value in my registry to 0, but now the phone keeps automatically resetting it to 1
If anyone has suggestions on how to fix this, they would be much appreciated
Thanks

Unfortunately this seems to be a hardware problem that a lot of people have encountered with the Jade. My phone did exactly the same just two weeks ago and it was frustrating as hell. I googled the problem and there were lots of different solutions that worked for people, but none seemed to work for me. In the end the problem solved itself, though I still have no idea how.
Anyway the problem apparently comes from a hardware switch in the mini-USB port of the phone. Something tells the software that the headset is still plugged in, therefore the phone alters the registry each time to represent that.
Solutions:
Solutions found on Google incude:
Plugging in the headset several times and wiggling it around, then removing it in the hope that this resets the hardware switch. Likewise, try this with the USB charger.
Hard reset the phone (search forum for instructions) or use the reset pin on the back of the phone under the SD slot (use the stylus to press the red button in) ** BE WARNED YOU WILL LOSE ALL DATA **
I actually reflashed mine with my favourite cooked ROM, but this still left me with the problem. As I said my phone sorted itself out, but I would recommend taking a cocktail or small pin and VERY CAREFULLY remove all lint / pocket fluff that has got caught up there.
Hope this helps and sorry I can't offer a hard and fast solution.

Hey guys,
Since a few weeks I'm having a quite annoying problem with my Omnia II (I8000). The phone (not the device, onlt the phone part) turns off by itself, apparently when it's "cold", around 10°C and lower which isn't exactly cold for an electronic device. And when it happens, it refuses to turn on again for a while. Clock seems to get affected too, with the clock marking earlier hours.
Did anyone had this or a similar problem? How did you manage to fix it? Or has anyone got any suggestions?
Thank you in advance for any help you may provide!
Never heared of that with my omnia working in a temperature below -10.
which ROM in detail are you using including Phone part??
PDA & CSC parts are JH1, while Phone part is JF1. It's Samsung's official italian release through Kies. I don't think it's ROM-related, as I've already flashed from a previous official version (JA5 maybe) to the current one...
