Hi all! I'm really desperate and I need your help. Ok, to start everything, I am not a techie person but I know some basic stuff about computers and windows operated mobe phones since I did own a voyager before. I then bought a second hand but in good condition Imate Kjam/xda mini s 2 weeks ago. Everything is going normal and great until the battery drained and forgot to charge the phone for 12 hours. After changing batteries, and successfully charging the phone, the phone suddenly states that "the phone is off, please turn on the phone and try again". The flight mode is not on and it is in its "phone mode". The problem is it is saying that it has no service and I can not make a call or send an sms. It is also saying that the phone is off even if it is not. What might be causing this problem and how can I rectify this? Thank God I found this site. Please reply guys, I badly need help.

Just an update, I already tred doing the "hard reset" by going to clear storage and it is still not working. might this be a signal/hardware problem?
try to update radio and/or rom. if that doesnt work it can be a hardware fault...
hope you get it working...

if you keep it connected to the battery does it keep turning itself off? Also, are the gold connectors that touch the battery bent or dinged at all?
Bad battery?
Had same problem with Toshiba e800...

well its obviously something to do with the battery...but definitely trying a new battery can't hurt.
Can't be. It's new device... With some roms installed it used to happen that when someone call me it turns off. It used to happen after third call received. I though that the problem is with sim card voltage but it's not. When i installed gsm radio rom 1.13 that problem stopped. Then it used to turn itself off after i leave it for let's say half our. That means, no one calls me and nobody touched it and it turned off... I don't no, i'm ging crazy... I read that some of these problems can happen with software installed. Can you tell me, wich version of software is installed on original qtek 9100??? Thanx for reply

I can't believe it either. :? So you want your qtek 9100 always on for 24/7?
Yes, i need it 24/7. For me it's not logical tah they made device like that and that it can't work 24/7
how long ago did you buy the phone...can you just exchange it for another one? Sounds like its broken to me...
by turning itself off I assume you mean all the way off, Ie when you hit the power button you see the same series of bootscreens you see after a soft reset, NOT just a standby (ie hit power and the desktop comes on...) I certainly do not mean to insult your intellegenct, but I feel it helps to be extremely clear on the details with problems like this...
Yea I have to agree with Starcruiser1229. It does seem like you mean when the device is idle, it will automatically go off. does it bother you that much when it goes off all the time? is this also your first time using a pda? sorry for the weird questions but it really does look like its the first time you've actually used one. if the device goes off and you have to soft reset all the time, then that is a problem.
Ok, thanx for reply. I'm not stupid, i hope so . I know what is stand by and that screen turns off when idle and other stuff. It's not my first pda and i know how to use it and what am i talking about. Yes it soft reset itself after fourth call received (sometimes on the first call,too). I read somewhere on the net that this problem is connected with software. Sometimes it turns off on standby and green is not blinking. When i hit on/off button to turn on screen, as i always do when it's locked, it soft reset... Don't know what more are you interested and i know it sounds silly because i haven't seen anyone had this problem on this forum. My friend read on some other forum that the problem is with unlock tools. Could this be possible???
Hello All,
I own a O2 XDA exec phone and have been using it for the last 3 months. Suddnely since yesterday the phone has been behaving erratic like it doesnt recognise my SIM/ service provider. Also the phone is only functional when connected to power plug. As soon as I put it to battery, the phone stays for 15 minutes and then switches off though the battery shows 70 %. I have tried the soft reset as well as the hard reset inlcuding Corporate Install.
Please help , need it badly
Regards,
Vivek Nath
Sounds like a faulty battery. Have you tried a different battery?
DaVince,
Thank you for your suggestion. I havent tried with a new battery still. Can you please let me know if my phone hangup during calls or while trying to make the call could be becoz of the faulty battery. Currently at times when I try to make a call the screen gets stuck at the phone number and call status shows as Dialing forever leaving me with no option but to restart. After restart the phone works fine at time but then hangs at other times.
Please advice and thanks again !!

hey mate, i m usin' the same phone, O2 XDA Exec. I think you should flash the ROM. That might help..
I am and was having some of the problems you are with my TMO MDA, I hard reset and the OS isn't as flakey but i'm still getting the random power dies. I'm sure it's the battery so I ordered a new one, just check out ebay. I got a 1250 for 9.88 free shipping.
Oh and i'm running the current TMO software release.
It should be here any day, I'll keep ya posted.
So my new battery arrived last night and I can confirm that it was def. the battery. everything is gravy!

one of the 2 i've had, did this as begining symptoms to a later mroe severe condition. turned out was overheating due to faulty mainboard. but not sure without hearing a more fuller description of events with the device.
Please help, I recently bought the O2 XDA Flame. I had been using the device for a couple of months. As time went on the speed of the phone has deteriorated. At first i thought it was nothing, so i would restart the phone. But then came another issue, after the restart the device would take even longer respond to any command. It would just hang during phone calls also would have isseu with opening the contact etc. I even tried to Hard reset the darn thing but it would not work and would just keep hanging on me.
Please if anyone has any information it would be helpful!!!

sounds like it could be HW issue or SW as well. if it's still covered by wty better send it to SC. we don't want to void the wty right? hehehe if WMG has ROM upgrade you may want to try and upgrade it and see if problem still persist
Hi, i bought an used exec from ebay and received it right now (the seller sayed it was 100% functional) but it have some issues and i want to know if these issues can be easily fixed, if they are sofware or hardware problem... and... HOW TO FIX THEM .
So... here is:
1.: The phone doens't make any sound, (any speakers works, even when i put a headset it doesnt work). But, when i'm in a call EVERYTHING WORK, i can hear like a normal call, or with speaker normally.
2.: Some times when i turn on the phone it shut down after the "windows mobile" screen or it quikshow the today screen and shut down. So i wait and.. it turns on normally ...and some time after it shows the same issue again.
Please please, help me, i don't know what to do .
Ow, wich button should i press for TURN OFF the phone, not to hibernate...
Very thanks for your attention guys and sorry for my bad english,
Daniel.

..

Hello guys,
I have a very strange but really bad problem: my omnia7 can't stay in standby.
When I press the power button, to turn off the screen and go in standby (so not the full turn off), my Omni7 wakes up alone, going on the unlock screen. In the same time, the phone rings with the ring that is played when you connect the phone for charging.
I've tried reboot, reset, hardreset, removing the sim-card, turning on/off "battery saver options" ... still that issue :crying:
Anyone has an idea?
I've flashed with a cooked rom (xda-devs Omnia7 Tango V4.0)
my current config :
OS version : 7.10.8779.8
hard version : 3.1.0.4
soft radio version : 2424.11.7.2
hard radio version : 0.0.0.800
loader version : 4.10.1.9
SOC version : 0.36.2.0
Thanks to any ideas, because that problem is killing me
my phone started doing this late last night too! i thorght it was because rain had gone into the power socket but if others are having same problem at the same time maybe not?
has your phone been exposed to water at all recently? is your phone jailbroken? cant realy think of other reasons
the problem stops when the phone is plugged in. is there anything that can trick the phone to thinking it is on charge? I have wphtweaks installed but the options there are not able to stop it
Hi,
I can't remember if my phone has been wet :/ I take care, so my phone never received water. But when I'm outside, under the rain, it's possible.
Today it was better, just a few times my phone wakes up alone.
I'll give you feedback in the next days. Let me know about yours
I managed to trick my phone into silence a few times earlier but it was difficult and then only lasted 5-10 minutes.
if yours didnt get wet it seems unlikely to do with water but I left mine ontop of the aga after removing the battery and over a relativly cool part. A few hours later and it seems to be working fine now.
I will report back if the issue arises again.
EDIT: Ahhhh!! STOP THE RINGING!!! started again this morning
Mine too !
This morning ... the ringing awakening problem !!!!!
But it was better this afternoon.
Really I don't know what happens.
Are we only two persons in the xda world with this problem????
this is realy weird now! mine was doing it in the morning but since about 12pm - 1pm it has been fine! I feel like its something to do with an installed homebrew app maybe.
I also have a custom rom but mine was flashed a long time ago and much older than yours. not sure which version
EDIT (1:10pm GMT): no problems since yesterday
EDIT2 (1:30pm GMT): again i spoke too soon!
Did you guys get this problem sorted out? Had the same problem recently and tried all the suggestions in other threads (bend USB pin, Reset/Restore Device etc) but nothing fixed it, so after being woken at 3am by constant charging tone, took to T-Mobile shop. They said it was a software problem. I said I'd tried all that and the most likely cause I'd seen on the internet was a duff USB port.
Anyway, T-Mobile sent it off for repair and 7 days later - returned and fixed. The repair sheet said software upgrade, but the phone had been reset to bog standard Phone 7, so unlikely. The T-Mobile repair tracking site (excellent) which shows blow-by-blow trace of what and where, showed initial software upgrade/no fix but I used their "contact us" facility to suggest a USB problem and by magic the repair tracking log showed a replacement USB port.
BTW - had to resort to an iphone and HTC android while Omnia was off for repair. Now I know why I like Phone 7 and can't wait for 8. The iphone GUI is so last decade and Android GUI is really just a copy of Windows 6.5 with XDA developers' tweaks isn't it.
Hi Wuzzok,
what do you mean by "bend USB pin" ?
Anyway, it seems like it's finished for me. I didn't get tht strange bug (soft/hard bug???) for a very long time. I just hope it's really over !
Same problem
Hi Folks,
I have the same problem, too. Yesterday afternoon on my way home the phone started ringing with the USB plug sound and always started up itself from standby mode.
As I have a custom ROM (mi7ROM) I first thought it could be a problem with the ROM - although I could not really believe it since it was running stable for months now. I flashed it again and nothing changed - still ringing and starting up itself
I managed to get rid of the sound by deleting the entry in the registry key "Local Machine\Current User\ControlPanel\Sounds\BatteryCharging\Sound" but that does not solve the real problem.
After reading here and in some other WP7 blogs I am sure that this is a hardware problem with the USB plug unit. As my phone is just 11 months old I opened an online ticket at "SAMSUNG online repair service" who promise to answer in the next 24 hours. So I just have to wait and see...
actual state

Samsung sent me an offer to send the phone in for repair - but what should I say, the problem solved itself. For two days now the phone works normal again. So I had to cancel the service call .
mine hasnt done it in a long time either. looks like its just a temporary thing. I wonder what caused it! For me it started after I was using my phone in the rain and the usb slide was open so thats my suspect.
You may be right. Mine is "quiet" now, since a long time. Water may be the cause.
Update
Hi folks,
mine is mostly quiet again, too. Only few incidents "happen" but they do not last very long - only a few minutes. It's somehow spooky but I do not want to send it in to Samsung now when the error it not constantly reproducible.
I agree with you that there might be a correlation with humidity although I am sure that it did never get wet and I almost always keep the USB-shutter closed. Who knows ...
Sent it in
Finally I sent it in for repair today. It started ringing permananently two days ago...
Now I have to wait and see.
Final state
Okay, I received it back... and it works.
First they did nod find and could not reproduce the failure and wanted to send it back - only with a new flashed image - but fortunately the technician called me and I could describe the problem again. After waiting a few hours, the fault appeared again and they decided to change the mainboard.
I hope, that's all :laugh:
Hello,
Me too it makes me after my omnia 7 is dropped in water, but problem solved.
Me too
