Ok, I will try to make my probmen more clear...
I bought my Prophet (QTEK S200) in March and everything has been working fine (also bluetooth) till few weeks ago when, all of a sudden, my prophet start taking more than 4 minutes to boot. I try removing some hacks or uninstalling soem programs, but nothing. After few weeks I realise that actually also BT is not working: in comm manag, there should be an X on the BT button when turned off, but I see none; instead the BT icon is green but the blu led is not blinking. I try clicking on he BT button several times, but nothing changes: still the icon is green, no X and no blue led. I try also with SETTINGS > BLUETOOTH > MODE tab: I check the "Turn on BT" box and press ok, but nothing, because when go back to the tab the box is not checked anymore.
Yesterday I uninstalled an old version of Skype and installed the nw one, turned on my WIFI and chatted for a while: all ok. Then I open PIE and browse some sites and all of a sudden the prophet freezes. I soft reset (with the stylus) and guess what: the prophet takes less than 2 minutes to boot. I try to soft reset few more times: same fast boot. So I go and check the BT: it works properly now!!!!!
An finally I plug the USB cable to sync the prophet with Active Sync 4.2: sync is done. Then I soft reset again and guess what?!?!?! 5 minutes to boot and no BT working!!! SGRUNT!!!!!
Ok, I say, time for a hard reset: I press the two buttons on the left side and I use the stylus, press green button at prompt and hard reset starts. Guess what? The prophet takes 5 minutes to reach he windows logo and the first time wizard. I try 3 more times, same result. And when the prophet is up and running (after restore of original settings) BT is still not working...
I do not know what to think. To me it looks that the BT problem and the long boot are related. Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks
Try the Hardreset. If the device will work well after that - it is just software problem. If no - sorry...
As i said, I tried hard reser, and still not working

Hi there,
i'm also having lot of troubles with my Prophet.
My opinion, but not sure as many other are using it successfully, it that it comes from the A2DP patch.
It started by the phone feature. I can't use it without using the Bluetooth headset (without headset, i have only noise in the speaker, also in the headphone plugged on the bottom). Then it started with Bluetooth that woudln't turn on. So no way to make calls anymore (shame for a phone...). And from this evening, i see issues also with WLAN!!! I can't turn it on.
Hard reset, flashing a new ROM, Radio ROM doesn't change anything.
I am desperated, i now need to flash it back to German O2 ROM and give it to repair to O2. Hoping they will not see it has been flashed with other ROM.
btw: could someone taking German <please> find me an adress for an O2 shop near Aachen? I can't find by myself on the O2 web pages. Many thanks in advance.
NO BT!!!
thegios, I exactly have the same problem, did you find a solution to your problem? NO BT, 5 minutes boot up time!!!

telephone replaced... (under warranty luckly...)
it looks like the broken bluetooth affects somehow the boot procedure
Oh no... I have this exact same issue... so it must be the ad2p hack... did we all have this? My phone take 5 minutes to boot and no BT too.... exactly the same!!! check my threads~~!
I did no ad2p hack
m... so the dealer wasn't able to repair it? i already have a mother board replacement... i don't want another one...
repair? do u think that for them it's cheaper to repair than to replace?
the dealer we have here seems to beleive so... they refuse to give replacements. and all they do is provide shotty repairs so you have to keep going back. its frustrating. This phone has caused me a lot of headaches.
I bought it in a big mall, so what the shop did is to package it and send it to the dealer and in 8 days i got back my same phone with simply the WHOLE motherboard replaced, which means new rom, new mac address, new everything
only front and back cover are the same
maybe.... cos I found a tape to cover infrared, so maybe they kept nly front cover, since also the power button feels different (not it is harder to push it)
loki bluetooth problem

i noticed that when you got windows mobile screen if you dont see the blue light
you can anyway reboot cause you wont got bluetooth at the end of the boot
when i associate a bluetooth gps, it s sucks...
anyway i m in the same s**** .
i think it's a hardware problem....
waitin for any another experiment to solve this f*** problem...
its a hardware... I installed a new rom and bluetooth worked until it was reboot... and also it would stop working when i left the phone alone for a few hours... MB had to be replaced...
my prophet also needs more than 4 minutes to boot. but my bluetooth is working and i don't see any other error. what can i do?
Hi
My XDAII doesn't start as it just hangs at first boot screen and nothing happens there after. Sometimes charging takes place and sometimes, it doesn't charge while plugged with a wall charger.
Any suggestions for this problem?
ya, I can put this ini bootloader mode and I have tried a no. of diff. ROMS (WM SE 2003 and WM5 as well).
Help
yes this is exactly whats happening to me I have a lovely functional XDA 11 which works like a charm THEN I bought a second on EBAY (Stop laughing !!) which sometimes boots sometimes doesnt - sometimes it even starts and goes all the way and functions for up to a few mins then freezes and has to reboot and is then dead as a mullet!! I take the battery out and wait a while and she starts sometimes again sometimes take a few attempts - Help any theories?
I have exactly the same problem with the blank white screen after the o2 splash.
But in addition, I get screen flicker and fuzziness on the occassion that I DO get it to work (after leaving the battery out all night).
same problem i am with u

Du think there might be a virus?
All i can recommend is to upgrade the rom
Hello everybody,
After flashing an Elfin Rom to my Elf, my Elf stuck at there colors screen. Vodafone-Shop was quite helpful and they sent me a new Elf
I have been using the new Elf for about 3 weeks and for the third time (happens almost one time in a week), my Elf does not recognize, that i press the power button. If the display was off, i see that the led blinks and even the long pressing of the power button does not change anything. The only solution was a soft reset. Today i lived it again, but this time the display was on and it did not turn off. Holding the power button for a few seconds and restarting was the solution.
Has anyone the same problem or any ideas why it can happen?
Thanks in advance...

On my HTC Touch (P3451) I have the same problem: The phone randomly freezes in such a way that I have to do a soft reset. Also, when the phone is on stand-by, when I press the On/Off button (to turn the screen on) nothing happens... neither if I press any of the other buttons (green, red or camera),despite of this, the green led of the top still blinks... Some other times, it justs restarts by it's own, no matter what I'm doing (a few time during today screen, some other using office, a couple listening tu music, and a lot of times when it was on stand by in my pocket).
Also, the phone loses the cellular signal very often (I don't know if that is related to the freezing problem).
I've tried doing a hard reset an using it without any 3rd party programs installes, but the problem persist.
I tried taking it to the vendor in Lima (where I live), but they say that because thre's a small scratch on the case, the warranty is void...
I don't know what to do about this... Any suggestions? please?
This is a hardware problem, This problem is associated with faulty motherboard, and suddenly, in a few days you will notice that phone will stop getting power on, it generally happens when phone falls on hard surface from a height, may due some dislocation of micro soldering. Its better you report to service centre, if the phone the phone is in warranty, they will replace motherboard free of cost, only issue is your device IMEI number will change with motherboard replacement.
i think the problem was something to do with the software. i flashed the Junior version of Onyx ROM with Windows Mobile 6.1 to my Elf, which has YouTube and GoogleEarth preinstalled and is memory-friendly at the same time. Now my Elf does not freez anymore.
I think it's a software problem.
I flashed a lot of ROMs in my Elf but, after a flash version 3.1.1 of really great Onyx Sr., the phone starts to have a bad behavior. It's freeze a lot and the green led still blinks.
I will try to use normal light off and shutdown method instead of using ShutXP to try. But it's definitely a software problem.

HI marcosvafg,
i have done the same like you, marcosvafg. but unfortunately my touch is lost in black-screen-smart-moblity-screen-space. can you give me a detailed description what you have done to restart your mobile phone?
i did this:
- go into bootloader
- start to install new rom
but every rom i used i got an error (image is corrupted, wrong model ID). which rom did you use?
many thanks
alex0123
I had a problem where my Elf started freezing almost after me entering the PIN. It is true that it got a rough drop just before doing it, but no serious damage was done to its skin.
I got it to the company and they changed the motherboard free of charge.
Hi guys,
i think gagandeepbains is right that this is a hardware problem. Because i lived it many times with some other cooked ROMs, and i can say that it is happening mostly when the temperature in the environment is low. maybe it is a reason, why this happens usually, when leaving the mobile on overnight...
after flashing my original ROM, i"ll give it back to Vodafone and ask for a change.
for you all, if you still have warranty, bring those back (and who knows, maybe you get an ELFIN instead of an ELF).
the same thing happened to my elf when i first got it back in august last year.
was a hardware problem, orange UK sent it to HTC for repair and i got it back 3 weeks later with a new motherboard in the phone,
also got a surprise to find that they had also upgraded the memory.
i sent in an elf and got an elfin back.
i thought that was a nice surprise
alright.
but to make sure, you can always upgrade to 03.21.90 radio.
thats the most stable one.
I had the same problem but with coocked roms (rarely with the original one)
early onyx roms had a bug with ELF but not in new roms
If still in warrenty try to change it again
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
SteelwarrioR
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!

Hello all,
I have been using a P3400i for about two and a half years and it has been an absolute faithful. Somewhere along the line a friend convinced me to flash it and I'm running Win 6.5 now for the past 8 months or so.
Now the phone had been consuming more battery than usual but then that was expected. However something really weird happened today. I used the phone around 4 hours ago (a call) and around that time it had been acting funny- the power button wasn't responding (to send it to standby mode), some keys in the virtual keyboard weren't working etc. I was in the gym at the time so I thought I'll figure it out later.
Once I got home I tried to restart it and then something funny happened. After a couple of tries, I'm not getting any display, a red light in the earpiece is constantly on, and the answer/disconnect button is permanently backlight. I've attached a pic for reference.
Can anyone shed some light on this?? Thanks in advance.
P.S. The casing is a dopod, had changed it a while back...
just try it
hi dear friend
just remove your memory card and then try to restart it may be due virus your phone is facing problem to start so just try it i am not sure but it may work
bye tc
