Big problem with advanced config! Please Help! - XPERIA X1 General

I recently installed advanced config on my x1 and i changed the setting for 'gprs button'. i set it to include in the bubble: disconnect button and timer
then i soft reset and tried to connect to my mobile internet. The bubble that says its connecting: it comes up twice. Once from the signal icon and once from my 3G icon. This has never happened before. Then a 3rd bubble appears telling me it can't connect (but I actually did connect ok)
EDIT: I just realised that the 2 bubbles are one for trying to connect to pay-as-you-go WAP (wrong one) and the other one for Contract WAP (the correct one). Why does it go through payasyougo first?? Error bubble still there.
Every time i connect through Comm manager, its the same scenario.
Now i've tried to go back in advanced config to revert back to the default setting of 'disabled'. But after reset, the disconnect button and timer are still there!
Additionally: I have the word 'update' on my homescreen - bottom left corner. Think its standard on SE's panel. When I press it, it tries to connect to gprs! Theres no error message if connecting this way (cos it connects straight away to Contract gprs)!! But is that what the 'update' button is there for??
Can someone Pleaseeee tell me how to get rid of the error bubble and/or tell me how to revert successfully back to the original state??
Some info on the 'update' button would also be great!
THANK YOU!!

It's called hard reset

I just updated my original message. It might give everyone a clearer idea of what's been going on.
Hard reset can't be the only option!

I think Hard Reset is the best and fastest method at the moment.
And you can just set everything to the same state before anyone come up with another solution (if there is).

Well ok then but: DOES ANYONE HAVE THIS UPDATE BUTTON???
What does it do for you??
SE Panel, Vodafone branded phone (don't think the latter matters)

The Update softkey forces the weather to update. Might do the same for RSS feeds as well.

Locked up, please help

Hi,
I have a tmobile MDA (wizard). I attempted to install some software on it, but disconnected and rebooted before it was complete (it appeared to be just spinning).
Now after a soft reset, screen shows only 'Windows Mobile' after booting, and none of the buttons work and I can't advance from this screen.
Is there a way to hard reset that doesn't involve using the OS (ie, I can't click on anything because it's not getting to that point).
Also in this state activesync isn't detecting device.
Thanks in advance! - Chris
Hold down (and keep holding) the camera button while depressing the reset button. Hopefully it boots into a tri-color screen. If so, plug it into the USB port and, at the bottom of the screen, it should display "USB". If that happens, flash it with a *known good rom*, such as a stock T-Mobile rom. Don't try to be clever, the object is to get the phone working. Once the flash has started, *get up and walk away* for 15 or 20 minutes. Don't check in on it, leave it alone, It takes some time. When you hear it's little chime, it's done, rebooted and ready. If any of the above doesn't happen or the flash outright fails, then you may have trashed it permanently. It doesn't sound like it's beyond hope yet, however.
i have the wizard and im having the same problem after installing a ROM from this website...it just goes to the windows mobile screen with the numbers then shuts off...id really like to save my phone is there anything else i can try because that hard reset thing isnt working

Well same thing happened to me a few days back.. I had to Cold Reset [which restored it to factory defaults], but hey I got it working again..
Press Communication Button [Top Left] and Record Button [Top Right] at the same time and use the stylus to soft reset..
You will get a black screen, asking you to press "Send" to reset to "Factory defaults"
Press "Send".
Hopefully you should get your MDA working again ...
I read the "Above" in the HTC Wizard Service Manual [PDF] on the *last page* under the "Cold-reset" Section..

NEED HELP MDA GOING CRAZY(willing to pay)

My MDA IS GOING CRAZY!! Every time I press the power button to take the phone off of the standby mode the phone seems to randomly just open up contacts and then try to delete one of the ones that are first on the list. Also the two soft buttons aren't working. the keyboard, some of the letters aren't working either, and every time i press the left softkey on the keyboard the menu on the right always opens up when I am on the internet. For some reason it just started acting like that when I increased the size of the cache. This one time all the keys worked for like 5 minutes the other day, then they went back to not working. I already did a virus scan and nothing came up, so yea. I am willing to pay if needed to the person through paypal, whoever helps me fix up my mda. NEED HELP!!!!
Have you tried updating to a newer firmware?
Are there any magnets in the immediate vicinity of the MDA?
I know it sounds crazy but even the magnet on the included t-mobile case can do things like switch the screen to landscape or bring up the calender.
It's just a thought and a possibility.
nope no magnets, and the rom is the 2.6 one, the newest rom, dunno what wrong with the phone, im willing to pay to fix it up. whoever helps me fix it up, i will pay them.
if i were you, (thankfully i'm not because i have had enough problems with my XDA!! lol) i'd do a hard reset, but i'll assume you can't do that because of the mind of its own issue, so power down the phone, and leave it on charge so there's atleast 50% battery in the phone. meanwhile, goto the t-mobile website and get the latest rom (or re downlownload the rom that's already installed...2.6 i think u said?) and try to upgrade using bootloader. todo this, hold the camera and the power buttons until a funny screen comes up, run the update utility, and then plug in the phone to the firewire cable (then onto the usb) on the first screen of the program (if that makes sense). then run the update utility and that should work.
there's no reason why it shouldn't. i had a similar problem with a se w800i about a year ago, and it turned out a button was stuck down, so check that.
i hope you get it sorted, as i kno how frustrating these phones can be.

Ok, you need to give more info. What IPL/SPL, Radio, version, etc. etc. What other steps did you follow? Downgrade to 1.08 unlock? CID unlock? Upgrade to 2.26? Then flash whatever ROM you are using...and which ROM is it? What other apps have you loaded? How old is the phone? Who is your service provider? What is your bank account number? (ok maybe we don't need that one haha) What SD card are you using? Have you dropped the phone?
--M
uuh, i haven't dropped the phone at all. Its unlocked, and I changed the network settings so that I get unlimited internet and other data transfers for free. I have Tmobile prepaid. Other than that I am going to try to hardware reset it, tried it already, it didn't work. So, I will try to update the rom, the phone is unlocked, so if I update the rom hopefully it wont become locked again.
It won't become locked again, it sounds like a hardware problem it is most likely a button or key on the keyboard is getting stuck and/or shorting every so often causing this behaviour.
Have you recently loaded any apps? Maybe changed the key settings? Deleted a file by mistake?
How large did you make the cache? What program did you use to change the cache? Did you change anything else besides the cache?
uuh i made the cache to 4 MB and I did change the settings for the IE but I changed them back, I used Resco Registry Editor, also I went to this website to find the registry tweaks http://www.pocketpctweaks.com/pocketpc_tweaks/
Then I went to the 2 performace tweaks:
http://www.pocketpctweaks.com/pocketpc_tweaks/speed_up_your_pocketpc
http://www.pocketpctweaks.com/pocketpc_tweaks/increase_performance_speed
I also did this one on the IE using Resco Registry Editor:
http://www.pocketpctweaks.com/pocketpc_tweaks/change_pocket_internet_explorer_6
Other than that I haven't done any other ones, I tried overclocking by using a software called Omap Clock, but that software sucked, it would be overclocked for a while, and it would return back to the default speed whenever I would press the power button to put it on standby.
if i were you..
if you are willing to pay for those who ever fix you phone, i'd rather pay my nearest service center to fix my device.

Wizard Broken - Windows Directory Missing

Yes I know it sounds strange.
The only thing I can think of that caused this problem was receipt of an MMS.
When I click the Windows Icon all I can see is: "Today, TimeWizard, calupd, coldinit, and Programs" The middle three don't have icons. When I tap Programs all I can see is 'My E-mail' (a Tmobile app)
None of my hardware buttons launch the app they are supposed to however my today screen is showing what it is supposed to oddly enough
The phone portion works calls and receives
I plugged it into my computer and for some reason Windows Mobile Device Center doesn't do anything but I can navigate through the phones folders just fine. That is when I noticed the 'Windows' folder is missing.
I have tried all the bootloader flashing of the Wizard Love rom (for some reason it shows up in Italian) but it doesn't detect my device (done this on XP and Vista)
Activesync on XP detects the phone but can't connect to it.
I would try the shell loader but it's instructions require an activesync connection.
Is there anything that will help? Maybe a VERY vanilla rom that will load from with the bootloader?
Any assistance is greatly appreciated. My only other phone is a T68i and I can't find the charger
Why don't try to hard reset your phone by punching the reset hole while holding CommManager and VoiceCommand?

Maybe I'm reading your instructions wrong but that isn't working.
I am pressing the two buttons on TOP LEFT SIDE and TOP RIGHT SIDE while pressing a pen into the reset hole.
The device resets but everything comes up the same.
Is there a way to do a full complete hard reset?
Okay! I found a second way to do a hard reset in this post http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=1015602&postcount=4
Turn the device off completely then hold both the Voice Command and Comm Manager buttons and press the Power On button. Black screen with white text appears and asks if you're sure, pressed send. Formatted!
yay...now everything is lost but it works again maybe I'll try a WM6 rom now!

what in the world???? Data button is gray and no EDGE CONNECTION

All of the sudden at around 12:45am last night I cant connect to gprs...soft resets dont help.... now the data connection button in Comm Manager is grayed out... I didnt install any aps..... I tried to delete the existing connecting and set up a new one... nothing works...
currently on TNT.19199 Official Wizard ROM
I have a similar problem..I hope someone can help.
ok I can officially contribute this to my stupidity... I typed www.voicesream.com and forgot the "t" because my keyboard is getting poor and pressing T requires lot of pressure on the button. Honest mistake
All OK now... .check your spelling if you're having similar problems.

Activesync , Dataconnect Screen has dissapeared

Active-sync , Data-connect Screen has disappeared when I plug in the phone. I have been trying to search on the forums for something related to this but I cant find anything. I just need to switch back to active-sync so I can flash a new ROM. Thanks for the help

Hi syphen.
First, I would just try unplugging it and plugging it back in, if you haven't done that already. Every now and then the option doesn't appear for me until I do that.
If that doesn't work, go to your settings tab and pick "other" (down near the bottom of the list, you may have to scroll to get to it), and then "USB to PC", you'll then see the checkbox that turns that option on/off.
Sweet that worked thanks very much
