HTC P3300 ARTE100 hangs up - P3300, MDA Compact III upgrading etc.

Hello, sorry for my english, is not the best.
I've BIG problem with my P3300. originally it came with WM5, after some time I got update from official site for WM6. Had WM6 maybe for 4 months, everything was just perfect while one day my HTC started do funny things like go off it self (white screen when using navigation). It was a once in a week. After some time it started to be like this few times in a day. I thought what I need to do hard reset. Did. Didn't helped. Than I tried to flash my phone to WM6.1. Phone went mad, was constantly switching off it self, screen just freezes and after that you even can't start the phone around 5-10 min. it just want do anything, even if you plug in the charger, indicating orange light want come up. Than I tried to flash with original WM5. Did that, everything was fine for a day, but after the day it went off, i restarted, and than gone wireless and screen started move to the left and to the right aprox 2 mm. When is connected to computer it want connect to ActivSync, it's coming up message: Can't find IP address, try to disconnect phone and connect again... I did manual configurations in network cards and computer, so when you're looking in network connections looks everything fine, but it's still not recognized by ActiveSync :/ Than i send the phone to recovery mode, connected to the computer and updated to WM6. Same thing, screen shaking, wireless not working, goes off. Is strange thing too, in aprox 24 hr memory is filled up to maximum - than is coming up the message: Storage is full, please delete some programs. :/ Hard Reset have to do every single day... Any idea what's can be wrong with my phone? Tried already a lot of things, no more ideas. I think it's software problem... :/
If anyone have any ideas please share with me... Thanks for everyone.

Anyone any ideas? Please, someone... i don't really wanna put phone in to the bin...

Its a hardware isue
Sorry, I have same problems and try same thinks, finaly I send to service and they say its a commone hardware error on electrical micro connections inside cosed by droping the phone down. Before I send it hangs up 2-3 time at day, now its hapen 1 in 10 day if I accedentaly drop the phone

Hardware issue
I think this is hardware problem..., I have some experience with repair HTC smartphones. Freezing, restarting, problem with screen..., GSM etc,,..
In all cases helps Hot air soldering station, find right chip or module (gsm , proc..) and reheating this.. A frequent problem is BROKEN tin joints BGA chips , after impact of equipment. .. sorry for english...

I'm facing the same problem with my old Artemis.
Since I upgrades, I gave it to a friend. It was working perfectly fine months now, until last week.
The phone keeps freezing, doesn't always boot, many times won't even respond to charger pluged in.
Randomly resoldering the board's chips, sound like a long & hard solution :/

SPV M1000 Resets completely for no reason..

Dear All,
I have had my SPV now for about 4 weeks now and very pleased with it. However, twice in the last week it hasn't responded when I turned it
on and ended up removing and re-inserting the battery. When it comes back, it starts with the "Welcome to Pocket PC" setup wizard and all my data is gone.
Has anyone else had this problem. This problem has happened with both
versions of the ROM. The only s/w I am running is
Tube (VisualIT)
MS Arcade Pack (Pacman, DigDug etc)
MS Voice Command
Agenda Fusion
CityTime
Regards & Thanks
Chris
Yeah i got the same problem. But it happens when I upgraded my ExtRom from Orange.com. Sometimes it stays at suspend mode, then i have to perform a hard reset to wake up the device. Very odd.

I have had my M1000 for about four weeks too now and although it occasionally soft resets it never fails to respond to the power button. Maybe you have a faulty phone?
On a different note, you say you have Voice Command, I was looking for places that sell it in the UK but it appears to only be available in the US, if you could let me know where you got it I would be really grateful.
Hope you sort your phone out!

High all
No probs so far
Swiss m1000 installed Programs
Pocket Hack Master ( Overlock your PDA )
Pocket Mechanic ( Clean Defragment and more )

and lots more.
Im overlocking my CPU to 530 MHZ and no Trubbles so far.
Got the thing for two months now, running in this config for about one month.
Peace
Yep, I am having the same problem or much the same problem. The unite works fine until every four or five days when I notice that the bluetooth light and the green phone radio light are flashing (even though bluetooth is turned off). It does not respond to the power button and then lights go off when I try a soft reset. The only way I can get it back on it with a hard reset.
It does not seem to be a battery issue as the battery is fully charged and when I try plugging in the Charger (before doing the hard reset) the charging light does not light up. I have had the same problem with several M1000s from Orange.
Anyone have any ideas at to what might be going on?
Thanks,
Steve

With Orange Switzerland SPV M1000 I experience the following problems:
1) Bluetooth lights (blue light) and the battery lights flashes even though
bluetooth is not connected and the battery level is fine.
2) Once every other day the device (though fully charged) freezes and I end up doing soft reset.
3) Removing battery already puts the device to soft reset. Orange
4) The activeSync is running without me having to start any activeSync session.
5) Abruptly I get message the memory is full and the device then freeses.
Is anyone having the above problems? How do i resove this?
Many thanks

SAME PROBLEM AS THE REST OF YOU WHO HAVE THEIR SPV FREEZED UP VERY OFTEN. IN MY CASE IT'S EVERY 3 OR 4 DAYS, POWER BUTTON AND SOFT REST DOES NOT RESPONDE, SO IT'S EITHER HARD RESET OR SOMETIMES SIMPLY REMOVING THE BATTERY DOES THE WORK. I HAD MY PHONE REPLACED 3 TIMES ALREADY AND STILL THE SAME PROBLEM EVEN WITHOUT INSTALLING ADDITIONAL SOFTWARE BUT WHAT CAME BUNDLE WITH THE ORANGE PHONE. IS THIS A ROM BUG ???
SPV M1000 FRANCE
SD CARD 1 GB
OMEGA ONE BATTERY PACK PRO
OMEGA ONE JOURNAL BAR
SPB GPRS MONITORS.
FORTUNATELY I USE THE X BACKUP PROVIDED WITH THE PHONE TO SAVE MY DATA, BUT IT'S TIME COMSUMMING AND REPETITIVE AS AFTER EACH TIME THE PHONE RESETS ITSELF, I HAVE TO RESTORE IT AGAIN AND AGAIN. :evil: :twisted:
IF SOMEBODY COULD IDENTIFY THE PROBLEM, THIS WOULD HELP A LOT OF PEOPLE LIKE ME
THANKS

There have been frequent reports of this problem- Orange are aware of it, and are replacing M1000's as required. They are currently testing a new ROM, so it appears that they think it may be a ROM problem, though it could also be a batch of faulty hardware.
Another possibility
Turning off the record button seems to have helped, could it be that this is being caught and filling memory / draining batrtery?
3rd phone 3 weeks.
Great when working - anyone using a GPS receiver? Tried a TomTom with an XDA 2 lead is not recognised

we got almost 30 of these at our work, it seems the only one to have this problem is... my one! so i swapped it for another one and it did the same problem... hmm, they must not like power users, the other users are idiots so they dont really mess about with the settings n all
anyhooz, ill be upgrading all of em to SE very soon and i doubt that rom will have the same glitch...
who knows... now that we can confirm (99%) that SE works on the xda II maybe the operators will now make an official upgrade to SE... they have no reason not to

Hmm. That is interesting. Only having one here - and having problems - I do not have much to compare.
Do you think the problem comes from changing the standard settings or using extra software then?
By the way the new ROM does not seem to make much difference in terms of this problem, alas!
Exactly the same thing to me...
Every 5 or 6 days... it goes of for no reason, and the only way to wake it up is to hard reset it! weird SPV... maybe some day a nice guy will come up with a solution to our problem! Hopefully...
:shock:
To keep an old thread alive
Those experiencing issues with this device going into coma (requiring Hard Reset to clear)please would you post detailed accounts of when the issue occurs.
Please confirm power settings, what applications were open on the device and whether the radio or BT was on.
Does the problem occur off or on charge, if on does same problem occur if charged from travel charger not dock?
If off charge, if known - state both internal and external battery charge levels when problem occurs?
What is seen on the handset at point of coma?
Working from soft Reset through battery off to hard reset, what was necessary to restore the device and did soft reset or battery off result in a dump?
Could ROM V's and bootloader V's also be stated.
cheers guy's, together we'll crack it
To keep an old Thread Alive
:roll: I have had my phone from about June last year. The first reset occurred about the 3rd Jan this and two more occurring in the past few weeks the last one on sat 12th Feb
The history as I can recall with the last reset is as follows. I took the phone out from work (cradle) Friday afternoon after 4pm don’t think it was put to charge again before the incident also the phone was not used very often as its a work phone. It was on stand by all day Saturday with the green light flashing but no signal input was being received as I was expecting a cal which never came only to find out the phone was off as mentioned by the caller when I called them. Got home about 530pm with the light still flashing and tried to switch the phone on after finding out no signal was received, the light then went out. Could remember this quite distinctly as it happed on the previous occasion. To activate the phone i have to take the battery and sim card out as with the previous occasion put the card in another/different phone to activate it (make a cal) then put the card and battery back in for the phone to work when it would then go through the reset process. Once working on checking, both battery powers were very low think less than 50% as when i checked some time after they were up to 75%
Am in an office with 3 other users and the only one with this problem and am on my 3rd phone since the year started. It seems to be linked with low battery power (both) and extended stand by when it completely shuts down. Trust this would help to get us a stage further.
i have had two m1000's with this problem,
orangecare stepped up for the replacement and i upgraded the 2nd to win2003se and it still does it!
i make scheduled backups now and have learnt to live with it until my contract expires..
on another seperate note..

MORE ON THIS
I had an M1000 that worked fine but a small problem occured and orange replaced it - the new one had this problem every 7 days or so - the bluetooth light was flashing although not switched on and when I try to turn phone on it wont - remove/replace bat and resets - I upgraded to ROM 2.02 from this forum but was using origional orange extended rom and it made no difference - if it is a rom problem its in oranges extended rom
I was on a 166wwe - boot loader 1.06 - dont know radio version but was still happening after DCM 2.02 WM2003SE WWE from this forum with radio 1.18.00 and original ORANGE ext rom so if is on ROM is definatley oranges ext rom that has a problem. - HAS ANYONE HAD THIS HAPPEN WHILE ON CHARGE????
THEY REPLACED MY PHONE WITH A REFURB - ITS NOW FINE BUT IM NOT HAPPY
guys lets think here
were all orange subs so its got to be an orange thing (so unlikley to be hardware) - there are people here (myself included) who have upgraded radio and OS so I am begining to think it is in the extended rom on these machines - has anyone who has replaced extended rom had this trouble - I would experiment but no longer have this fault - I never thought Id wish I could get it back but now I think I can see a resolve
we need an orange customer who does not have this trouble to post extended rom on here for us all to try????? - - - Please ??????
it would be nice to crack this one guys keep plugging on
Had my M100 nearly a year now and after many many resets decided to call Orange as I would have thought this was a known problem with them. But according to technical they have never seen this before!!!
There response was ... backup your data! doh!
I told them I did and it was unacceptable to say this as the thing is faulty it takes over an hour to reload the data and it's happend 4 times since I called them 4 days ago.
:twisted:
PS: has anyone got a copy of the original 1.66 rom as you can no longer get it from Orange.

USB problems anyone?

Hello
I'm having some USB problems:
The device seems to disconnect after a few minutes, sooner with intense usb activity (like copying files)
I tried with 2 cables, 3 computers and with both XP and linux
However 3 days ago it didn't seem to act like this, altough at the time I didn't use the device so much (I was busy exporting/importing the contacts into HTC)
I tried hard reset, didn't work
I can only think of 2 possibilities: either there is a problem with the usb driver in the device, ori there is some problem with the electrical connection somewhere on the device
So, the question is - does anyone else experience the same problem?
Thanks
I think, that device disconnects when it goes to sleep mode (my device does it). When it is on USB, it acts like it it on charger, so simply make charger sleep time longer. It is quite annoying, but only solution so far.
No, it's not that, my device doesn't go to sleep when connected to a power source, anyway I tried to disable sleep mode completely and it still gets disconnected.
Interesting, the device still belives it's connected (I see the icon at the top of the screen), but the PC end is down.
Never had such issue. Maybe you could try to contact HTC Tech Support... But as the hard reset didn't help, I'm sorry to say, maybe you should consider a warranty claim. Might be a bad connector or something.
Ups sorry, i didn't read correctly the original post.
Maybe, it´s will be the energy-management from PC?
Look in device-manager in the properties of the USB-Port, try to disable the "Energy management". Please post the result here.
Greetings Mirko
Tried that too. Same result
Hello 4EST,
please use only the origional USB cable to connect PC and XDA! You got to pull the Mini USB side as you can´t see the silver part!!!
The connetion lost when you act at the cable?
Somethimes it seems only to be connectet right.
Greetings
Rescue01, I used the original cable, the problem is exactly the same.
Here is an update:
I sent the device for reparis to HTC. The device came back "reflashed", but the problem still pesisted from the first power-up. In other words, they fixed nothing, didn't even bother to check if it worked right
I sent the device back again for repairs, very angry, talking to the call center. This time they opened the device (I can see it on the screws), did something to it, then reflashed the device again.
And it worked perfectly, with all the cables and the computers I tested before........for a while....... Because after ~4-5 days of usage the problem started to reappear more and more.
Now, as I just tested, the USB gets disconnected after only 5sec of reading from the device. Sometimes it lasts longer, like 2 min
So my opinion is that there is an electric problem, I would guess with the USB connector
Unfortunately for me, the service center even if they fixed the problem last time, they did NOT checked for it before fixing it and assumed everything was ok the first time and blaimed the USB cables/computers for the problem. They said something like "sadly, after checking the electrical connections and reflashing, the device works perfectly". And it did for a few days...
Here is an update:
I send the device for the 2nd time to the service center, this time calling them angry about not fixing it for the 1st time.
The device came back quickly. This time they opened the device (I can see it on the screws), and the USB connection actually WORKED!..........for a while.....
After 3-4 days it started disconnecting again, having less and less USB connection time.
Now I have to try to get it conencted, as sometimes it disconnects right after connecting

Phone automatically triggers Navi-Panel.

Firstly,i would like to apologise for making another thread with the same topic if there's any.I've searched the forums and most of the threads seem to be 'Dead'.
Last week,my phone had something strange going on.When it's at sleep mode,it automatically lights up.I picked it up and i see this thing called the 'Navi-Panel'.The screen was in landscape mode.The only thing that i can access was the phone.I managed to exit the Navi-Panel through the task manager but the problem's still there,my phone and my SMS are in landscape.Also,the phone calls that i make and received are always on loudspeaker mode.I also cannot connect the phone to the computer via the USB. I've tried various ways to fix the phone such as hard reset and rom flashing but it's still the same.I'm currently on the Stock rom version 1.66.707.1(76641) WWE. Can someone post a solution for my problems?
It happened to me twice when a tiny drop of water dropped on the micro usb slot, creating a temporary short circuit.
Make sure the slot is clean, (no conductor material inside).
It may be a small chance, but it is still a chance...
I have the same problem
My phone got wet last night due to rain. And the Navi panel kept coming up. So I set the option for Navi panel not to have an automatic launch. Thats fine now, but I got another problem to sort through. When ever I pick up a call the speaker is automatically turned ON. Its embarrassing now. I am just hoping its temporary..
If anyone has an idea on how to turn off the automatic speaker on call pick up, pls let me know.. Thanks in advance.
Whats more is: I cant connect to the Activesync now. The phone is charging well though.
I can probably live with that since I can connect through Blue Tooth. Hoever, if someone has any idea on how to turn off the "Auto external Speaker mode", pls let me know .. any registry key ... or any other means.
Thanks in advance.
This happened to me a few months back now on a wet evening, assuming the phone must have got wet through my pocket. Tried everything to fix it, left it to dry out for 24 hours near radiator with the battery out to no avail. But then flashed a new ROM and it started working. (Had to flash the same ROM three times till it started working. Every ROM since has been fine)
Hope this helps.
Thanks .. That gives me a hope. Could you pls tell me what ROM you flashed.. may be its something to do with that specific ROM..
Activesync died...
Thanks all of you who contributed to the forum. My HD2's activesync stopped working yesterday... and main challenge was to put shipped ROM and send it to the repair...
There is only one thing that I could not explain... When OS is up and running (regardless whether it is cooked or shipped) there is no active sync can be established (only charge function is working). However, when phone is in boot loader (RGB screen) I could connect it thru USB and install ROM from computer...

Thanks for trying to help XAH, but this was the first thing in my troubleshooting process. Usually it helps when you plug in the phone, computer acknowledges it, but pop in warning sign that USB device is not recognized. In my case there was no reaction (on multiple computers) - like nothing is plugged in... Will see what repairer says... I'll post an update as soon as I'll hear from them.
got my HD2 from repair centre
I've got my HD2 back from repair centre... and it works fine... most bizzar part is paper say that nothing was done...
a friend of me hat this problem some time ago. it disappeared after about 1 or 2 weeks iirc.
Same problem for me, but i've changed 5 diferent rom's and nothing...i will try the airdryer now

HD2 Heat causing freeze on soft reset

yesterday i had the problem lots of HD2 owner faced it, my device worked fine, but when i had to soft reset it, it always freezes on the white screen, and never starts up, every many times of taking the battery out, and start again, it finally started up.
i tried to soft reset it again and faced the same problem
i tried to flash the ROM again, but after many tries, i finally got it to flash, but the thing is that the problem wasn't solved, and the unit kept freezing in the start up, but once it started up it worked perfectly until the next soft reset.
but then i tried cooling the device against an AC, and the surprise was that the unis was able to start normally, every time with no problems when it was cooled
any one faced such problem with the device? i will try it again today at noon, when the temperatures are high.
I tried it again now, when the Battery temperature was 38.5, the devise did not start, when i cooled it down, it did start, and when it started the battery temperature was 35.5
can some one with the same issue confirm?
Yes I am having the same problem!
My fone did the same again last night and I'm going to try reflash it today - else the POS is going back to the shop! Not happy!
did you try cooling it down? flashing the ROM did not help me at all
Can this be a Battery problem? that the battery can not provide the required current when it's heated?
ok, i did these two experiments
1- i heated the battery alone on a air heater to almost 45 degree
and cooled the phone, but the phone did boot up normally
2- i heated the phone on the heater and cooled the battery, the phone didn't bootup
so the problem is defiantly with the phone not the battery :-(

Yes, onlywhen the phone was cool to the touch again did it boot correctly. However last night it did the same but would not reboot after leaving it for a while. I tried to do a hard reset but the phone hung on the HTC boot screen and would not go further.
This morning the OS booted but was totally corrupt - it looked like booting in to windows 98!! no graphics, no HTC Sense, no usual colour scheme and a whole whole of corrupt file messages. This happened each time I hard reset - and the USB port also failed to recognise any device. I think it's safe to say it is practically bircked and thus, Ireturned it to O2 today to sort out and give me a new handset! I think it is a hardware issue. Infact, I'll put biscuits on it being that vs software.
it is definitely a hardware issue, but the thing is, these are the first few days of summer in my country, the days when the weather is getting really hot, and i guess this is the first summer HD2 will experience, since it was released in the Autumn, so my guess is more and more units will get this issue as the weather get hotter in other countries
Hi guys.
Weird issue you are facing!.. Mine gets very hot on hard use.. today I tried a soft reset while it was hot and it started normally.
When did you bought your HD2?

i got it like 4 months ago, but i am sure now that there is a hardware issue
had a same problem...
my solution was screawing the middle battery pin under cover...
the hd2 have must have Temperature senzor...
the hd2 have 3 pins under battery cover, 1 = +, 3 = -, and the middle pins is the 2 = ?
i think the middle or the pin nr. 2, is same as ACPI in desktop or notebook, Advanced Configuration and Power Interface,
Operating System-directed configuration and Power Management,
so if your middle pin is screawed, the powermanagement tell to device stop boot!!
or if the pin dont make a contact with battery - the powermanagement canot corectly detect the Temperature and the hd2 owerheat, then randomly restart...
its only my teory, my middle pins was screawed, im take it to the right position and my device worked well... but i want more and more and i broke the middle pin
after that the hd2 boot, and worked but when i want to do restart dont want to boot...
now my hd2 is in service center... so for all i want to say:
warrnig!!! dont youse the power or angry when u want to screaw the pin back
its only my teory, im not the electro technic...
sorry for my english, but i think everybody understand what i want to say
i know sucj hardware issues are unfixable, i am wondering should i get me a new HD2 or another phone
I got mine on contract in March - 1.48 ROM. but also had the issues in 1.66 prior to sending back.
Just awaiting for it to be returned - I'll report back to let you know if sending it away has fixed the issue. I'll be a mite miffed if they just flash the ROM and send it back lol!
had the same issue: overheating / reset loop / stuck on white screen
contacted HTC, sent for repair, received with new mainboard,
now works flawlessly

I had the same problem with mine on an UK O2 network. They took it back and flashed it. Sadly that didn't solve the problem. So I sent it back again and they replaced it with a newer model. This seems to have fixed it. Sadly looks like the early ones were crapy and had the same fault.
However mine still gets ruddy hot when connected to the anything in the car.
Bad job HTC :-(
Hi all,
Actually, there is CPU's overheating problem, not battery's. ALLMOST same problem you'll have if you'll remove cooler from your PC's CPU
My LEO shuts down at 38 deg. and cannot start again without cooling. Definitely, it's a price for 1 GHz processor - it should have less power demand or good cooling system.
Hi had the same problem mine also used to reboot on it's own when connected on pc and overheated. Going to contact HTC repair and send it back. I was wondering though is it ok if i send it back with a cooked rom and 2.10 radio or will they not change it cause i've switched that on my own? Any ideas pls?

Early model as in what date.month.year?
Regarding getting ruddy hot when connected to the anything in the car, it's the connector, IMHO.
I have problems too. My God, today is the first and really hotest day of the year in Germany.When I will back in Spain at 40 degrees celsius there my hd2 will be a bomb!!
My device is a German o2 hd2...

[HELP] my Omnia7 will not stay in standby! it switchs on alone

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

Are you really sure that the problem is USB port.. Mine too behave like this. I've tried to remove battery, factory reseting, reflashing ROM. But nothing works. Mine is Samsung focus
