Hello,
Forgive me I am a complete noobee.
I bought a Himalaya (Ebay) which seemed to work correctly for a few hours. The it froze and kept freezing on reboot. Next day similar sequence. I basically found it irratic as to when it would switch on and when it would stay on, (I charge battery fully on the cradle but no difference).
Hoping to cure the problems I managed to upgrade from PPC2003 to WM6, but it's performance is the same as before.
Can anybody recommend a fix?
Again forgive me if this is a really dumb question.
Thanks.
My hima freezes at starting too, but I found out it is sd card which causes freezing at start up. So when I softreset I just take off sd card than it start normally,
I have kngston 2GB sd card, maybe sdhc driver fix would help, but it aint a big problem for me, I dont mind.
Thanks for the info.
Mine freezes with both SD card inserted and SD card removed.
sounds like the batt is causing the issues by getting a bit loose or being generaly a bit defect or the batt connector
I have bought a new battery, still no joy everything is exactly the same. It seem to boot briefly when first thing but once it's froze it is impossible to reboot, you have to leave it a couple of hours before it will boot or nearly boot. I think this is a definately hardware issue, any suggestions anybody?
Thanks
Did you try to put your device in Bootloader (Hold POWER+ACTION+RESET)
If you can acces to bootloader than try to reflash the rom with the new one (I recommend syed ather wm6.1 rom) simple fast and stable
Hi

I have an O2 XDA2. I just took the phone out of my jacket pocket to find that it wanted me to calibrate the screen. It went on to take me through the whole set-up wizard and then I found that all my data and installed programs had been lost
I'm guessing the phone decided it wanted to reset itself!
Does anyone have any idea why this might have happened so I can avoid it happening again?
The phone had plenty of battery power (approx 80%). It had plenty of space space (approx 28MB). I hadn't recently installed any software although I did uninstall Pocket Money on the weekend. I also created an IMAP email account then but I've had no problem with the phone since then until now.
Any ideas? Thanks very much
would prob be a good idear if you stated the rom version you are using
Sorry, It's 1.60.00 WWE
I have never upgraded it as I haven't the first idea how or what the implications are.
the latest officail rom is 1.72
if you get that from their site you will not get warrenty issues
when i used 1.66 i had lockups from time to time
after i got 1.72
i havent had any issues
I don't really feel comfortable upgrading it as I haven't the first idea what to do.
How do you normally reset a device? Is it something I could have done by accident?
there is a little hole in the buttom of it in the right corner if you press that using something thin like the stylus while you press the on button
then it hardreset
but there is software which let you do it as well
the upgrade is really pretty simpel
Thanks very much. I know the reset button, I use that every now and again. There's no way I could have pressed it and the on switch by accident given tha the phone was in an otherwise empty jacket pocket.
Oh well, I guess my phone just had enough of life. I'll look into upgrading the ROM when I feel a bit more adventurous
Fabulous...My phone has again decided to reset itself out of the blue.
I have no idea why it does this but it's a pain in the rear. Has anyone seen this before? Does anyone know if there's anything I can do to prevent it? (other than upgrading to the Universal when it comes out!!)
And it's happened again...seems to happen approximately once a month.
Has this spontaneous hard reset issue not happened to anyone else?
I suffered this audacious curse only to find that by removing my 1gig sd card remedied the problem.
I'm wondering if the sd card draws too much power/resources or whether I have a dodgy sd card.
Either way, without it I'm flying. I pop it in when I need to use my TomTom and as it's on charge in the car cradle it doesnt matter about resource usage etc.
So, try removing your sd card and see what goes
SD cards seem to be causing all sorts of problems. I kept getting the eternal spinning timer when copy, paste or deleting files, if the card was inserted. Did a soft reset today to be met with the calibration screen as from a hard reset. Such fun isnt it. :roll:
Hi Guys
Thanks very much for your comments. Unfortunately it isn't the cause as I have had my SD slot empty for a while now (my SD card is in my new car radio/MP3 player )
I'm starting to think that after 15 months my XDA2 has decided that it's had enough of the world. My colleague told me that it's seeking revenge as it's heard me salivate over its younger sister (the Universal).
As you say having the phone hard reset itself is a whole lot of fun!
I have the Sprite Back Up programe so all is not lost - it creates an exe file on the SD card that you locate and select thus restoring everything just how it was before it was lost
one can also just have activesync do an inc backup at each sync
and if the device hardresets one can connect as guest and restore the backup from ones normal profile
The nice thing about the Sprite software is that you can restore when you're out and about unlike the active sync method which means you need your pc close by
I have a qtek 9000 and an xda exec. Both have the same rom updates (latest o2). The qtek works as it should, but the o2 does not. I have re-flashed the rom twice. No software is installed, nor is bluetooth running. The phone works and connects to 3g etc. If I close the clamshell, about 1 hour later the phone is asleep and will not wake up. A reset must be done in order to turn it on. I have hard reset many times and cannot fix this problem No calls or messages have been received by the phone. The green phone light remains flashing in its deep sleep mode, but it is not possible to call the phone. It does not ring or wake up. Has anyone had this problem? I have searched this forum and read many posts concerning sms causing sleep problems etc., but can find nothing relating specifically to my problem. Thanks for any help.
sounds like it could be faulty.
never woken it up via a phone call, so I don't know about that, as I don't use it as a phone yet, waiting until the contract for the W800i ends at the end of this month before I start informing people of my new number. But I wake mine up via the power button. If that fails for you, then I would suggest speaking to the company you got it from, as it would suggest a fault.
same problem here
r1.04.10
G42.37.P8
D1.13.64WWE
imate jasjar with qtek 9000 rom
verry annoying
Kaze, this problem is usually caused by having anything running on the Today screen or resident in memory that is installed on the Today screen. For instance, a application loader on the today screen with links to programs on the SD card can cause this type of freeze, as it tries to get the icons from the SD card but cant - crashing(?) WM5. Just keep anything related to the today screen or bootup etc on the phone's memory itself and your crashes should go away.
dont think so

That other thread you are posting in is back from October/November last year. Just taking out the SD card wont help, you need to disable the programs trying to access the SD card. Although your problem might be different - maybe somethings faulty with your SIM card then? Try a different SIM card and see if it still happens.
As I said in my initial post, there was nothing installed on the unit. There was no sd card, and it was in total factory default condition. The unit was returned as it was faulty. The new unit works as it should, with the same sim card etc.

I've had a new Qtek 9000 for about 3 weeks and it has had exactly this problem from day 1.
Looking at this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/viewtopic.php?t=32688 I thought it might be a SIM problem but it isn't. Done a load of tests and the final one - hard reset - no SIM - no SD card and the problem still occurs. It's on it's way back for repair / replacement.
Same problem here? Does anyone have the solution yet?
I'm sorry no - mine had to be sent back for reapir.
It's fine now.
First one I got had this problem from day one fresh from the box with nothing installed. I simply took it back to the shop and had them replace it as faulty. Second one has never shown this behaviour.
Dodgy batch/ component.
My advice is don't wait for a fix, it's a hardware fault, return it under warranty.
I 'm now using 2 gb of memory. When i turn off my screen for a moment and trun on the screen. There is nothing comming up. I have to reset my hermes. Pls advise..what 's wrong ? Before i used 1 gb of memory, i never seen this problem.One thing i use calendar plus on the today screen.
After selling my Wizard to get the Hermes, I have discovered that the Hermes is a VERY unstable device.
I have experienced (and still do sometimes) what you are experiencing. From what I can see, this is normal for this device. If this continues, I'll have to sell this and get something else. The other day my device did this and I called it from my house phone to see if it would even ring, and it did not. I guess I could live with the PDA locking up, but if it interferes with the devices primary function as a phone, it's totally unacceptable.
jcute, i was having this problem for a bit, but my issue only occured when it was on the charger and i temporarily shut off the screen, it would then not turn on and would have to softreset every time
i noticed this problem occuring after installing some software including weather software (cant recall exactly which) and skype, not sure which one was the main problem but wasnt using either hence their uninstall and correcting of the problem
good luck, try removing some recently installd software and seeing if the problem persists and perhaps try removing the microsd card and running ur phone without it for a bit to see if the problem is the card
time for rom upgrade ?
thanks for info. I tried to unplug micro sd 2 gb and press power button again ..it 's work !!after that i plugin micro sd again but some icon 's missing at the today screen. Ex. resco today icon , psshutdown, photo contact.....So the question is that i have to do this everytime when screen 's off???
After upgrading to AKU 3.3 and installing my programs only to the main memory, I've noticed far fewer lockups as opposed to before when I ran many programs such as Pocket Player or GPRS monitor from my 2gb sandisk.
I guess the moral of the story is, try not to install programs that access your memory card while your phone is in sleep mode.

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
I would not get a Hermes if I wanted it to be a phone primarily. IMHO most of these devices XDAs, are primarily PDAs with a phone tacked on.
Just a humble observation
Mike
my problem is when i scroll or drag the side bar too fast (inside memory card),the device will hang and need to soft reset.
can anybody solve this problem??
Goto www.softwinter.com and try out storage tools. I've found that a regular repair and defrag help the load times from the storage card tremendously. Also, someone mentioned above that reformating your storage card with fat32 helps and I too can confirm that. Let us know if that helps or not.
Lance
one more thing, when i reset my hermes, it hangs at the welcome screen. I always get this problem.
Hello all thsiis my forst post here and im in need of help
Today my Imate Jamin started playing up
details are
IPL 1.00
SPL 2.13.0000
GSM 02.20.21
OS 2.13.9.23
now you see its started with the phone turning its self off (could have been dead battery) then when i put it back on charge it tokk ages to turn on. once i got it on everything was running very slowly. I carried out a hard reset to see if this would help it has not. when i soft reset it cant take around 5 mins for the phoe to turn on, Also the bluetooth is now not working, it searched for a device but takes about anothe mind then comes up with bluetooth harware error.
even have tried reinstalling the latest rom from the imate ftp site but phone just turns off when it starts the process.
do you have any recomendations on what to do or is it a duck.
cheers Andy
also have tried to do the clear storage and its just teh same story hope som eone can help dont fancy wasting this phone
Just an update
have flashed the rom ans im still not getting the bluetooth to work
says hardware problem.
also there is no sound from the speaker. the phone speaker works
but it is still taking over 5 mins to boot up when you reset it.
anybody any ideas
take it no one can help then oh well looks lik its gonna be an expensive mp3 player. Dont suppose anyone knows how big a card it wil take
sorry mate this does sound like a hardware problem. However, I don't think it would hurt to try one of the older (more stable) roms in this post
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=1166781&postcount=1
I'm using a 2gig sd, and I'm sure I've seen reports of 4gig working here somewhere (but i'm 2lazy2search), but AFAIK no more than that. Good luck with your expensive mp3 player! i have seen a few posts like yours, I have my fingers crossed for my Jamin as I got it on ebay (no returns)!
wonder if it would be worth trying to source a new mainboard for it anybody know how much they are?
Hi guys,
I have a issue with my phone but couldn't find a solution anywhere.
I have a 16gb Sandisk card, which I have been using for 2 months now, I have been testing many Roms and had no issue till last couple of days.
Previously I flashed WP7 on it's own, then dual boot with Android (different Radio), then Android only, did all this with no issues, after few weeks of being on Android the phone started going crazy, starting applications on its on, will not respond to touch and mainly pressing keys on the keyboard by it's self, especially when I press the delete button it would go crazy start typing random words.
Thinking it was a issue with Android, flashed a new radio and new wp7 rom, but still have the same issue, keyboard and menu doing random things, the standby screen shaking/vibrating like there's no tomorrow.
Some-one please help, I have flashed 3-4 different Rom's, still same issue.
Is my SD card damaged ? I did a full format and flashed rom again, didn't help.
Anyone ?? Can someone help ??
While this sound much more like a hardware problem than a software problem I've never experienced anything alike. Maybe swing by your retailer's store see if they can get you a replacement?
the wp7 rom can work without the sd (you wont have a lot of data space). you can try running removing the sd and see if the problem repeats.
