imate jasjar hangs and hangs and hangs...

my imat jasjar with the latest rom (1.13.53) and latest radio(1.04.02) sometimes freezes 10 times a day, forcing me to soft reset (sometimes 3 or 4 times in a row) before it works again...i have tried everything from upgrading the rom, hardressetting, changing memorycards, leaving the device on instead of automaticly turning of....nothing works..
the worst is when i stop using it and put it on charge during the night, it does not wake up in the morning...i have to softreset everytime and all calls and sms that came in during that time where not received...can anybody relate to this problem, or am i alone in this....i really like the device, but missing my calls and resetting ten times a day, makes me wonder if i should go back to my trusted magician...maybe a rom from another device (o2,mda,qtek) would be a solution ?
any help is welcome

I'd get it replaced as it shouldn't be doing that. I've not had a single hang on my XDA Exec since I got it nearly a month ago.

do you really think it is a hardware problem....i find it more to be a software problem...and i would not like to be without my device for 1,2,3 or even more weeks...anybody know if the qtek 9000 rom is available somewhere...having had a qtek 2020,9090 and s100 and also tried a few mda's and imate's, i find these to be the best roms in general

@jesax, I had a JJ and I used all the features (inc. video calling and UMTS downloads) but only had a freeze with SMS notifications and downloading emails over UMTS. You device could have a hardware problem. The other possibility is the ROM is corrupted so you should try to download a new copy.

mine randomly hangs when using Agile Messenger. Stable the rest of the time.
Planning a hard reset shortly, will see if this fixes it.

in my case a hard reset does not change anything...i have done three and have changed to the latest rom...no dice
does anybody know where i can find the original jasjar rom or a good working english rom to try out or do a downgrade...
i am reaching in the dark here....

@jesax, did you download a fresh ROM from clubimate? Your original ROM could be corrupted

yes, i downloaded the latest rom from the imate site...no go...still the same problems...i first tought it was a charging problem, as it happens every morning when i take it from the charger....i now left the jasjar untouched for a few hours in closed position without the charger, and when i opened it up, it froze again, leading to a softreset.....HEEEEELLLP

@Jesax,
If I were you, I would have falshed the ROM again to my device as I think there is some kind of corruption to your installed ROM.
To get the latest ROM version go to this site :
ftp://ftp.xda-developers.com/Universal/
If it does not open, just go to this site and you can open it from there:
http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=BA_FTP_Site
You can get it also from this site:
http://www.clubimate.com/t-DEVICE_JASJAR_UPD.aspx
But your device must be registered to axcess to this site.
Flash the ROM to your device and try to use it without up-grading the radio version to 1.04.02..... if you experience the same problem so it's definately a hardware problem and in this case you have to give it back, but I think it will work properly "I hope".
If you don't experience the same problem again, it might be either a problem with the radio version or a problem with any of the softwares installed on your device.
By the way, can we know which softwares are installed on your device at the time being??
Please let me know the result.
Regards,

jesax, okay. So you have downloaded the new ROM at least twice now from the clubimate site therefore we can assume the ROM is okay. Also please confirm that you are not using any third-party apps. Are you using a 3G or standard GMS SIM. Try turning off the radio functions (Fn+->) and see if the freezing stops.

Jesax,
Are you using spb pocket plus or any similar software??

thanx, i give it a try but am getting fed up with spending hours behind the computer resetting this thing...
the software i am running are :
resco file explorer
gpspocketmagic
launcher
tomtom 5.1 installed, working but like to freez up also when in use
tweaks2k2
that's about it
i do not use 3g but do use gprs...it was switched to "always on" with the reg hack, but i turned it back (you never know)
i will have a try when i com home this evening to turn of radio function, and charge it overnight (how do i do this, without taking out the sim )

on the wiki ftp site i see there is a 02 xda exec rom i can dowload.
can anyone recommebd this ?
should i give it a try instead of the jasjar rom, and will it install as easily as the jasjar, or will it ask for id's and codes?
thanx guys

@ Jesax,
Before flashing the ROM again to your device just un-install tomtom 5.1 and pocketmajic and see the result "you can use majic button instead" .... if it does the same, you will have no option but flashing.
Don't get fed up...... your problem will be solved, the Jasjar is a wonderful device and you will enjoy it once your problem is solved.

I wouldn't advise you to do that.
There is nothing wrong with the jasjar ROM.... and it's the most popular.
Regards,

jesax, as I said in my previous post, you can switch off the radio using the following keys on your JJ "Fn" + "->" and select the All Off option.
Also remove all third-party apps and see if stability improves. If it does add one app at a time back to see which one is causing the stability issue.
The XDA ROM only requires a code for the Coroprate option (code is 0506), the Corporate option is the best to choose at it has no O2 additions.

thanx...i don't think tomtom5.1 is the problem, as i was having this problem before the install of tomtom...pocketmagic i can't remember when i put it on (so many resets, so many....)
i will give it a go
what's annoying is that it does not happen on steady intervals...it can freeze up twice in a minute, and then work fine for ten hours.

would you recommend me trying it, or is the jasjar rom actually better...i don't want to spend another few hours flashing the o2 rom, if it is no use

another question...maybe related...
i have noticed that when i open up my jasjar from fully closed to "laptop" mode, the backlight does not come on everytime...sometimes it does, sometimes i have to push the "on button" to light up...
my backlight is set to go out on batterypower after 30 seconds, and to stay on with external power.
the powersettings are : turn off after 1 minute on battery power and stay on with external power

@ jesax,
Most probably your ROM is corrupted.... in this case a hard reset will not work, but a fresh flashing to the ROM will be the best solution.

My Magician freezes

Hello all,
last week I got my new HTC Magician, here in Austria so called "T-Mobile MDA Compact". Unfortunately I have the problem, that my device freezes from time to time (at least 1 time a day). This happens most of the time when using the T-Mobile IntelliDialer, but sometimes it happens even when I do not use the device at all.
When the problem occurs, I am not able to make or receive a call, the upper status LED is gone as well (no signal, no blinking).
When I got the device I had ROM 1.13 installed, but after I heard that maybe this could cause the problems, I installed version 1.12 from T-Mobile site, but still have the same problems.
Now I am really out of ideas, don't know what to do. It seems I am not the only one with this problem, so I am afraid it hase no sense to switch the device with a new one @ a T-Mobile shop. Or do you guys have a "good", normal running Magician w/o this bug?
Thanks in advance for your help!
Greetings, Matthias

Helle again,
As you've got the same problems on rom 1.12 & 1.13 and you got it just for a week I'd say go back and get another one. There are people with simular issues and I guess there are much more users without it, like myself.
So my advice use your warrenty, make a backup of your contacts etc. first with sprite (trial version is available) or AS or whatever, saves you a lot of times. I won't restore the apps just reinstall, maybe it is some combination of a faulty program & with a backup you get that back as well. And it gives you the chance to determine, if possible, what's causing the freeze.
Good luck, M

ok, then thanks again
Today I made a ROM update @ T-Mobile. If that did not the trick (I will look for errors the next days), then I will use my warranty and change the device itself. I hope they don't send it to technical support somewhere, but give me another one instead...
Greetings and thanks for your infos, Matthias

Hi,
I have been using my Magician for almost 8-9 months .. moving from ROM version 1.11 to 1.13 WWE BigStorage (radio 1.11 to 1.13 as well).Recently (last 1mth or so) I start to notice that I have a strange problem similiar to you, my 'radio' would 'hang' where I cannot receive or make calls, can't even receive or send SMS. However, my signal (the top bar signal strengh) will still work. This is really fustrating .. because the PDA still works, I won't know when my Magician 'hangs' ... (at least until I try to send SMS or make a call).
I've downgraded to Radio 1.11 & ROM 1.11 ... I'm still facing this problem, but not as often (sometime once in 2 days). The strange thing is that my wife who is using a Magician as well, is facing the same problem (symptom arrise almost the same time together). Both our phone used to be fine.
So far, no luck trying to locate the source of the problem, and I don't think both our magician's hardware got screwed at the same time ... I have a feeling, it has something to do with GPRS ... gut feel ... but cannot confirm.
Anyone face this problem and managed to solve it, I would appreciate any pointers ... Many thanks!
Note : I don't install additional ROM software such as CallerID, etc ... I only use intellidialer.

Hello, you could be right with your GPRS feeling, I have it as well...
Is the LED of your device blinking, when you have one of these freezes?

Hi guys,
Don't know if this gets you on the right track, but a few months ago I had major memory problems with my magician. Thought it was a virus, probably was one or two today plug-ins that consumed all of my memory very rapidly. Think of plug-ins like OO journalbar. Didn't look at the led blinking I just soft-reseted to solved the prob. for a few minutes. Very inconvenience when you're navigating in a car.
Since I ditched these plug-ins eveything is fine, tried them afterwards of course & noticed the memory leaks.
When you're not using anything like those apps. it must be something else. Maybe there's something on the forum.
Cheers, M

I thought about some apps or plugins as problem source too, so I refreshed my device without installing any additional app to it -- no success. So I still have these hangups, even if I have no tool installed...

Sounds like really s..tty problem.
Does the use of gprs or phone functionalities make any difference? what happens when you skip the ext-rom installation (hard-reset & soft-reset just before the customization kicks in) & go for basic WM2003, without all the TMO apps&branding?
M

... tried this allready, but without any difference, device freezes serveral times a day. I would say it's a hardware fault, can't think of another problem source.
Yesterday I spoke with a T-Mobile tech @ T-Mobile support. He told me, he is not aware of this problem and he always had "good" devices. And he updated my ROM to latest version...
Since I still have the problem, I will change my device now and see if this makes any difference!

haimat,
I think exchanging your magician is the best option, the techi might be right in saying he only encountered good ones. Haven't found much error reports like yours, so the rest must be good (look at the bright side). Hope you can trade it directly without any hassle & enjoy your magician for the rest of it's lifetime.
Found some people with a universal with simular probs. didn't read all posts though there were so many. So can't tell you how it ended, it's about a JasJas that hangs and hangs and ...
In the meantime good luck with the change of your device.
Cheers, M

problems with new o2 rom

Hi,
just downloaded and installed o2 rom version 2.21.4.1 on my mini s. Everything works fine on but the "pictures & videos" program. It just wont start, not even when trying to start the program thru the camara. So at the moment i cannot view any photo's i've taken! Is there any way to fix this. I've re-flashed with the new rom a couple of times and still no good. Can i re-flash back to the original o2 rom? If not is there any software that lets me view my pics?
cheers

Did you download the ROM again or just re-try the ROM you had? I would try a new download.

hi,
what try to download from o2 agian or from another source? IOf so where else can i download from?
cheers

just downloaded from xda ftp site and it's still no good. The pictures and video program still aint working. Tried to get the original rom back on but it aint happening.
any ideas

Hi,
still no good cant work out whats gone on but i cannot view any pics taken. Is there any software out there that does the same thing as the pic & video prog?
cheers

Strange, I just checked, it's workin' OK on my miniS.
I don't use it anyway - for photos try
http://www.xnview.fr/site_uk/Pocket_uk/
or for vids
http://tcpmp.corecodec.org/about
of course

cheers for that mate. yeah it's really strange, doing me head in. I've downloaded and re-installed now 3 times but still no good. Contacted o2 so hopefully there can share some light on it.
cheers
p.s
is there any way to put the old rom back on?

Pretty disillusioned with the new ROM.
Reception has improved, and it seems a little quicker than before, but I now have a recurring problem.
Basically if I leave my XDA Mini S connected to the PC (home or work, makes no difference), to allow activesync to keep it up to date, eventually the thing hangs (hung overnight last night and missed my alarm). Problem is of course that it looks like its working fine (normal screen display), but it has frozen and is unresponsive to key presses and screen taps. Other problem is that when you call it in this state it rings (on the caller side) but there is obviously no alert from the phone itself. Furthermore it receives texts which then just "disappear" (I assume so as test messages sent while its frozen never arrive once its switched on). Any ideas anyone?
I thought it might have been cLaunch, but it happened last night with cLaunch uninstalled. It also happens with PocketBreeze off (no today plugins active at all). Maybe it's "Batti" but I hope not as the functional alternative is PocketPlus which as far as I am concerned is bloatware.

cant say mines ever done that. another problem i spotted is cant access any networkd thru wi-fi??? Rang o2 and there said it could be a 3rd party software problem, but the thing is i aint even got round to installing any yet. in the end they've put it down to a camera fault. Sent it back under warrenty this afternoon so a new one should come by friday. O2 are unsure what rom version will be shiped with it thoso will just have to wait and see.
cheers

HD2 reboots when starting hard work

Hello,
my HD2 reboots automaticly when it has some work to do (watchin flash-video withc Skyfire or using Igo8).
After about 5 minutes it reboots by its own.
some days ago it works fine.
already flashed the ROM again (Vodafone 1.72).
Has anyone any idea?
Greetz,
Michael

Hey, I got the same problem and I also mention that my GPS doesnt work either, I think there's some issue with the battery or hardware parts. I may send my phone back to store because I have been flashing many ROMs, Radios but didnt help.

Geocaching GCZII (... 45) stops when downloading

I own a HTC HD2, and use for geocaching: GCZII; latest version. (..45)
I do use this great software for for 2 years now. It runs fine on my HTC touchflo, HTC HD but not at my HD2. It's not the general problem (cannot download...) this causes by the server of groundspeak.
My problem: the list is downloaded without probs, internet-connection is good, GPS is fixed. When I want to download the caches themselves, then after a while (after 'bout 250 kb) the prog shuts down. I tried for 500 caches, for 20 etc. but when I download them one by one, most of the time it works well (not always). I do have another fine prog: Gatecacher, but... the same problem appears. So I suppose it will not be that software. My device is clean and empty. ROM: 1.66.404.1; radio 2.07.51.22_2 It's not the provider 'cause my other devices have no problem.
It realy frustrates me 'cause after 3 wks I will be on holiday up to sweden, where are many(!) hidden geocaches.
Is here a real freak (yes) who can help me? Please..?
thx anyway.

Mine saves the list fine, but when viewing the caches themselves, it closes without error.
Their website doesn't exactly help with lost passwords either, just shows a blank page!

GCZII latest version is working again!! (....45)
I've got the solution: disable the static menu, so do not activate any box. Works fine now! Gatecacher might have the same prob. I'll try this evening.
gr Willem

I had the exact same problem - with disabling the static menu it is working fine now again! THANXXXXXXXXXXX a lot, wivo!!!!

seems to be a bug
do you guys also have the issue with version .47
for me it was crashing not always but some times when opening the "description".
When I tryed your hint
disable the static menu, so do not activate any box
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
it seems it helps for now,...
But it seems to be a bug - we should tell the developer about this issue.
So please verify if you also have the issue with the newest version using your HTC HD2
many greets Erich

Just found this thread!
I have an HD2 running Eleganica v3. I downloaded GCz II and it worked for abit then I got the "Cache not found" error. On top of that it interfered with my phone so much (reset defaults, froze the phone, etc.) that I had to do a hard reboot and reinstall of the ROM to get it back where it worked (the phone). Was this just a freak thing or is there a conflice? I'm trying to get into geocaching and would like to use the GPS on the HD2 for that if possible.
Just had the same result with gpsed, another program.
Thanks!

i tried to search any nearby caches. then comes an error. (check your login data!) i know that is all right. my gc language is changed to english. gps is good. what can i do?
i use the garmin asus m10.
