S200 Hanging every now and then

I have Qtek S200 for 3-4 months.
First I had wm5 2.20.7.34. The phone used to hang sometimes. Usualy if the wifi was on and I suspend it it will hand when I wake it up. The screen stays lit and no button/touchscreen works. The power button also wont work so I had to do SR.
I thought upgrading to wm6 will fix the problem and I tried pda mobiz 20.b3 and b4.
The phone still will hang sometimes. Finlay I installed Prophet Touch v6. Its great rom but it also hangs and sometimes its 2 times in a day..
There is no way to predict when it will happen but usualy its more often when I use Internet gprs or wifi. Most often when I use the wifi( I guess
I have upgraded to the latest Radio ROM but I cant see any diference.
So my question is, How often u guys get hangs on your prophets?
Is this normal?
Is there a way to make it work with no hangs at all or this is the way it is?

Im not using overclocking and the phone usually hangs when its left alone not while I use it.
In wm5 it usually used to hang right after I wake it from suspend while in wm6 I just cant wake it, it stays dark.

Well, when I had the original i-mate ROM I almost never needed to do an SR, unless I was really messing with it.
Then I tried PDAmobiz b4 and I got the phenomenon you describe:
Some times I would turn on the device and notice the clock was an hour or two behind and the device would not respond. Basically it hanged quietly and I didn't even know.
After suffering this for a week I changed the ROM to my current PDAViet 4.0.0.0.6 Touch and it seems fine so far (better then the original).
Perhaps a different ROM, maybe a WM 5 not 6 will work for you.
Also you should see what kind of programs are running in background on your device. Maybe one of them is the problem.

Actually I had the problem u described with the original wm5 ROM not with the wm6 roms.
The thing is that the original rom had many other problems and for this reason I dont want to go back to it.
For example I could connect with gprs without problems but after disconnecting I was unable to connect again. The device was saying "The answering modem has disconnected" or one of 2-3 other messages like that I was in a phone session and so on. The only solution was to restart the phone app...
The phone dialer was terribly slow. When pressing the dialpad buttons it was taking about a second for the phone to respond
Also I noticed that the same problem u described when the device freezes just after wakeup will generally happen if the wifi was left on.
If I switched it off I had almost no freezes.. but u know Ive got this phone to use its network capabilities and it looks like the network part was most buggy
All this is about the original wm5 qtek rom.
With wm6 I only have this case when the phone dont want to wake up. It just stays dark when I press the power button.
It will also freeze somethimes when I work but not very often..
Currently I use Prophet Touch v6 by gullum
I few months ago I have read that windows has some delay bringing up the sd card online after suspend and that this may cause problems if some program tries to read the Storage card before its online. For that reason there was suggestion to install all system and most used programs in the internal storage.
Now I have noticed that SPB Insight was installed on the storage card and I use its today plugin so I reinstalled it to the internal storage to see if this will help.

I have the same problem
Please help me to find out why my S200 hanging and hanging and hanging

i have got same problem in my prophet...my model is orange m600............is there anybody to help....

Troubleshoot Reboot Hangs

Gurus -- can you help me tell if I have flaky hardware or if I am shooting myself in the foot with some software I'm loading. 3.3, 3.5, and now 6.1 work and I LOVE them. Fresh off of a hard reboot after flash of a simple or maxed out kitchen the device works fine. I run SQL2 for a program that requires it. I restore my PIM. I add in WSync for Verizon. It works fine for a few days and then the device will be dead (not dead battery, just black screen). Reset button gets as far as the 2nd screen (Windows Mobile) and that's it -- full hang, never progresses.
Only way to get alive is either a hard reset or bootloader and new load of SW.
1.02 bootloader
Verizion PPC6700 (Apache)
Any ideas on basic troubleshooting of the bootup process?
Does the device cache "last start" in some way such that if it gets some sort of corruption, it persists through a soft reset?
I'd like to fix it myself but when you can't see what's going on, what do you do to troubleshoot? Trial and error hasn't homed in on much -- it has to run for a while before the problem shows up. I'm about ready to go back to the original OEM 2.7 release (shiver) and run a few days just to see if it stays alive.
Thanks guys!

Make sure the battery is fully charged, then try to boot it up, I know if the battery is near 10% remaining, the phone will hang on windows mobile splash. I had a similar issue as you and realized the battery life remaining affected its performance. If you feel that a certain program is causing the hang, then weed the culprit out. If I were you I'd leave out all the verizon customizations (reseting within 3 seconds after hard reset boot)

if your running a custom rom for winmobile 6 it probably has all the verizon customizations built in so when you do a hard reset don't let the carrier customizations run

Phone Freezes, how do I debug?

2-3 times a day I have to take out the battery because the phone will not respond. How can I find what is causing this? Is there any event viewer / error log or any way of debugging this?

I've also had this problem when powering up the device from being completely turned off. I have to reset and remove the battery a couple of times before it works properly again. Usually I get stuck on the mindows mobile startup screen (after the xperia one), or on the today page before it loads my plugins. The shell is unresponsive but I can use other panels okay.
It seems to corellate with powering off/on the device while it has a USB connection to either the computer or mains.
(I've got a black X1i on Voda UK, latest ROM available afaik)

I too am having this problem. I am now on my second handset in 2 weeks because of this. My replacement handset is doing the same. I am seriously considering changing to a different phone.

my X1 only started locking up itself without apparent reason when I installed TouchFLO3D.
Upon removal, everything normal.
check your software, also check if it hangs without having things installed appart from stock softwar.e

i had SPB shell installed. I have now uninstalled it so see how it goes

This seems to be the same problem I have with my Voda UK Xperia. Only problem is, 1) It happens without a USB connection and 2) I have flashed to the generic ROM and I still have the same problems. So I guess it's not Voda related.

Possibly. I only got mine on Thursday, it first happened on Friday...only seems to occur with the USB connection for me.
I've not installed much or fiddled with the firmware. Just realised that it seems to have happened after I installed Xperia Tweak - might be that I've got the wrong version. I will uninstall and let you know whether it sorts it.
Either way, I can definitely invoke it by powering it off with an active USB connection.

I had also the same problems, after updating to an R2 ROM the problem was solved!!!

Same issue here. I've used custom ROMs from ITJE, Jack and Timur. No difference, still freezes and I have to soft-reset or do a battery pull. Anyone else having this issue? Thx.

since iv had the phone is freeze is little more than sometimes. i'v had it stock all the way with no tf3d or anything and still does it. it happens no matter what. sometimes the phone just shuts off w/o me noticing and i have to take the battery out. but what gets me is not all the freezing believe it or not what gets me is im gonna break my phone by just taking out the battery cover. i mean what the hell is wrong with that design. i feel like sooner or later im gonna break something eventually or put a crack in the plastic part of the phone.

my phone started to hang when I switch panels more than once per boot. It has to be connected to some software installed lately, because it did+g occur before.

OK, problem appears to be solved: my Xperia hasn't freezed in 36 hours, since I installed custom ROM "Touch-IT v7" by ITJE. Will report back after a few days just to be sure. Cheers.

Still no freezes.

[Q] Omnia 7 keeps turning off

Hi all
Today my Omnia 7 keeps turning itself off. The behavior doesn't seem to be entirely predictable, but it happens when the screen shuts itself off to save power and when the light sensor shuts the screen off. It also happens when you plug headphones in, but it happens unpredictably as well.
I've tried taking the battery out and leaving it for a while, as well as some longshot ideas like setting a password and changing the timeout interval.
Has anyone experienced this, and does anyone know how to fix it? The place I bought it from are refusing to replace it, even though it's only a few months old, and I don't want to send it in for repair. (That's Buymobilephones.net btw - do not use).
Thanks

Hi
I am facing the same problem
Unfortunately, it seems that Omnia 7 isn't designed in a proper way, because you are the fifth guy face the problem form the same device.
I think Samsung should consider this and solve it
the problem is we don't know from where t this problem comes from
is ti hardware or software
but I think it hardware issue because while I was formatting process it just restart itself
if you have any news just tell us

Thanks for the reply
It also freezes every morning after disconnecting from the charger but not until I get in the car. lol. So I assume it's either when I put it in my pocket or take it out. I have to take the battery out and then the whole turning off thing starts. I've called Samsung who said they would repair it, but as you said it might be software related, so really I should try rolling back from 7008 to 7004 (and remove chevron) or update to NoDo properly. Either way I think getting it back to MS official would be a good starting point.
Thanks

i have almost the same problem. my omnia 7 keeps restarting every time i'm in an app or using ie or marketplace, sometimes is just showing the samsung logo and stays like that untill i remove the battery or do a hard reset.
these problem appeared after i updated to nodo 7392 from 7008 so i'm thinking it's a software problem, then i rolled back to 7004 thought everything was ok and it started restarting again.
so rolling back to other firmwares wont help, if anyone found the cause or a solution for this problem please let us know

Note 4 Randomly Turned Off Won't Turn On Anymore

Hi everyone, after trying everything I could to fix this phone I don't know what to do anymore so I'm here asking for other options.
So the story is, I was just using my phone as I usually would that day and it just randomly turned off and won't turn back on anymore.
(it randomly turned off before a couple of times but it would always turn back on)
- It won't go into recovery mode or any other of the 'modes' (I tried all the different combinations of pressing the keys).
- It's not a battery issue as I've tried my battery on my brother's phone (he has a Note 4 too) and it worked fine and I tried his battery on mine and it wouldn't work.
- I tried the 'drain' method (removing the battery and holding the power button for a minute or more).
- I tried using multiple cables to charge my phone nothing worked.
I didn't drop my phone, wet it, root it or anything and it was working fine the day it happened until it just powered off by itself. When I plug it in my laptop it would make
a sound indicating I've plugged something in but nothing happens. It was version 5.1.1 model SM-N910F.
TLDR; Is there a way to somehow recover the files in the internal phone memory?

This is happening to me as well, also started in February. I'm suspecting a hardware issue. Tried it ALL but rooting. In the past 30 minutes my phone has booted and rebooted itself till it died. If someone can confirm it is a hardware issue. Maybe it's time to unite and get it fixed for free. ~Tamarnouche

Recovering data from a brain dead phone may not be possible, as it probably need some internal component replacement which may erase the data(Mostly). Have u tried connecting it to pc? Better give it to service immediately. Good Luck.

My phone has done exactly the same thing, happened in February too, initially it did the random freeze then started to reboot itself, went back to stock software and full wipe but no improvement; now it will only boot if I leave the battery out for a prolonged period, otherwise it doesn't respond to the power button at all.
I occasionally see MMC Read Fail on boot but not all the time so presumably the internal memory has a bad contact or is failing.
Can it be replaced?

I have the same problem with my Note 3. Only if I keep the battery out for a long (over 24 hours) time I can see the boot logo. So if you find a solution to this kindly don't forget to tag me, will really appreciate it.

I was wondering..
I came across this Forum group since I was looking for boot problems with my SM-N910T3
I hope flashing pit will resolve this..
I recently started to have some low level issue and was hoping it was partition/boot related and not hardware.
Randomly phone boot directly into Download mode with error;
ddi: mmc_read failed
Often I have to pull battery and hold down /power / home for 10 sec to boot up again.
Thanks
