on/off button doesn't react...

Just bought mij S100 and already a problem. My phone automatically shuts down the display, this is nothing strange. But when I want to turn it back on again using the on/off button, sometimes it does not react (sometimes it does). When this happens, i also cannot receive any calls. I tried to call myself with another phone and it did not ring. It looks like a crash to me. When I do a soft reset it works again.
I have the newest Qtek rom (1.12.00 WWE / 1.12.550 WWE) installed. Originally the phone came with T-mobile software.
I hope someone can help me with this problem.

If there is a problem with the power button, then you can go into Settings - Button Lock - do not lock buttons. This way you can turn on your device using any of the green or red buttons.

hi robbertje,
sometimes i have the same problem on my MDA compact (=imate S100).
on/off button does not respond - display dark.
soft reset resets the MDAc and everything is ok.
then a few days no problems. if this problem occours then more times.
I found out that if my MDAc is in this state and if I pull the SD Card out of the device, the screen is on but frozen. The time which is shown an the screen is not correct. Seems that it shows the time when the device went to the freeze status.
Also battery is very low after such problems.

I used to have it when I first upgraded to big storage. A hard reset seemed to fix the problem. What I found was that the screen would react, but it could be up to a minute after I hit the power button. Same thing when the screen was on, I'd hit Start and wait. After a while the start menu would pop up. This was before I even managed to install any other software so it's a windows bug that's fairly random. I haven't had it happen for a few months now, though.

I think PPCProfiles made the problem. I reinstalled PPCProfiles and it seems that the problem is solved but I will see ..................

Hey, I've already ur problem. It's an hardware problem!
The mess is that, when the PDA is cold (strange, huh?) it won't reactivate, causing to do a soft reset. Mystically, the LEDs are still functioning (I mean, if it's green, it will continue to blink BUT doesn't change for any reason)
The only way to fix it is to send it to the repairing center. Sorry for who is out of warranty.
Cheers,

new ROM?
In this topic: http://forum.xda-developers.com/viewtopic.php?t=25761 it is said a new ROM wil fix the problem ...
Is this possible?

check http://forum.xda-developers.com/viewtopic.php?t=27956&highlight= too - may not be relevant, but it shows that power button wierdness can actually be the result of a dodgy battery.

remove your battery,and wait 1 day,my problem solved this method...

bluetooth not working?!?!

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

its the same and im looking now for schematics for the phone
any one can help !!! please

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?

WHO CAN HELP ME in this Thread... please!

I have a BIG problem because I install this app 'EveryWAN-Remote-Support-3-0-15760' from this http://www.sparus-software.com/spip....wnload&lang=en and I don't know why... my HD is death now I was in activesync with this app and I try all tools TaskManager, FileStorage and when I click the icon 'turn-off screen'... no more HD..., no charge... dont soft-reset, don't bootloader, etc. I'am now very un-happy because I don't understand what's happen with my HD

If nothing else work, why don't you try a hard reset?
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=puL795s1bY4 <- second half of the video is how you do it.

Hi,
Have you tried to remove the battery, wait a little, and place it back?
Also, refer to this thread:

Thanks for your help... I know do a Hard-Reset but the problem is don't charge, don't show the red led in top charging also, I put off the battery 20 minutes and no way... don't work the button Power... don't work the button Soft-Reset, I can't enter in Bootloader mode...

Hi,
Have you checked that thread I mentioned?
Look specially at this post:
pdc4 said:
Well, some other things to try:
- check if some button (including soft reset) is mal-functioning. Try to release, or clean them.
- is any card (sim or memory) in the phone? If yes, remove them.
- has the phone been exposed to moisture, liquids? ensure that it is dried out, but do not expose it directly to heat or to a dryer...
- try to connect the charger to the phone without battery, leave it a little then disconnect, then place battery and finally the charger , trying to power on
- have you contacted the author of the rom about the issue? Maybe he might have some ideas ...
Good luck!

P.

Keypad Lights wont turn off

HI all,
My hd2 has fallen yesterday, and now i have noticed the keypad lights wont turn off :-(
the device goes to stand by mode fine, screen is off, but the keypad stays on.
any ideas, what could happen? Has anyone had this problem??
Thanks

I now have the same problem. Did you manage to fix it? If yes can you please let me know how did you fix it. Mine is giving the same problem and I didn't even drop it

Hard Reset

@Don001: Tried Hard Reset including flashing back stock ROM and trying every available update of Energy ROM. Didn't work . Is there any app like KeyLedControl that does the opposite....instead of keeping the lights on....switches it off instead? Mine is always on....and never switches off.
Tried to google it and someone suggested that the phone needs a bit of cleaning but...I saw the videos to disassemble....man that's hard
Any other suggestions?

I have the same problem, and mine didn't even fall.
And also hard reset it to stock rom.

i have the problem that my keypad flashes constantly since i installed a custom rom
it goes in this sequence.
* *** * *** etc.

hmmm....
if there is nobody who can answere our prpblem, maybe we should send it to rep?

One of the phone repairers suggested Chemical Cleaning. Not sure if it is going to fix it though...Going to give it a try. Will see how it goes

My HD2 has started to do this since yesterday too.
The keypads stay on but do very slighly dim but still on all nite, killing my battery!!
any suggestions?

This may or may not help
Look at the bottom of post # 4 there is a link to switch the lights oof, it may be rom specific but its worth a try

[Q] can´t wake up HD Mini

Hi guys,
I have a problem with my HD Mini. I searched for it, but I didn´t find help. If the same problem is solved in another thread, please post the link.
When my device is in slepp mode (screen black) and I want to wake up (press on/off button) nothing happens. The only way to use the device is to remove the battery and turn it on again.
Sometimes I can wake up the device normaly (press on/off button -> slide bar down -> everything is normal), but only in 2 of 10 cases.
The device is running in sleepmode normaly, I can recieve messages, it vibrates and the green light flashs.
I tryed to fix it by an hard reset, but that didnt help.
I hope anyone knows how to fix it.

Same here, a hard reset didn't help, I mean problem comes out also with a clean installation. You can only remove battery or wait for someone to call/sms you..

Thanks... I have searched it, but it seems like there is no real solution to this problem.
but i´ve read somewhere, that if you put yout device to sleep when its in shortcut-homescreen (9 shortcuts), there is no SOD. It seems to work.
if anyone got an better solution...

try to flash ur rom, it looks like the device bricks.

OK, thanks for all your help.
Since wednesday evening my HD mini is ok. I can´t say how I solved the problems, I made a few hardresets and suddenly it works fine. Now I test some things step by step to look whether I can find the reason. At the moment I guess it´s something with the sd card...
If I will find something I will tell you, perhaps its helpfull.

ok, here some news.
since my last post my device worked well. today I tried to put in my sd-card and I formated it with the HD-mini internal formating tool.
after 5minutes i got the good old SOD, now I turned the card out again restartet the device and everything is all right again.
