Hi All,
Just a few issues I'm having with the T-Mob 4.01.16 ROM, anyone else? Anyone got any ideas on fixes?
1 - Keeps on turning itself on (i've confirmed that active sync has no schedule). People have suggested for the known bug in XDAII to kill the activesync process
2 - Text message on-screen alert, doesn't turn the XDA screen on
Cheers - Steve
Somebody else was having a similar problem but thought it was the sim toolkit causing it.
It's doing this to me as well.
Seemed worse when I ran the tAgenda today plugin, but it didn't completely stop when I removed it.
If enough of T-Mobiles customers notice it and complain there should be a fix coming out soon enough. Or perhaps it is not there if you run the T-Mobile applications that came with the ROM?
My turn-ons seem tied to the schedule that Inbox goes out to check the email. whenever the screen comes on and I go look, Inbox is in the middle of an email download.
I have tried re-flashing the ROM and making no modifications to it, it still turns on on a regular basis.
This has been a problem at some point for all PocketPC based devices, my old Cassiopea, Compaq and Dell have all done this at some point (fixed by ROM update eventually). Oh well, waiting once more won't kill me, but will kill my battery.
The problem does not seem to exist in the AT&T Rom, but it is a common thing in the TMOs beta and this latest release. It is bad when you leave the phone and it redials the last number called ( either in or out!)
Also the SD card does get erased, even when formatted in BACKUP FAT and named properly. The best cure is to keep it locked until you need to add or remove something from it and keep a back up of the SD in a folder in your PC.
My wife is getting jealous of the amount of time I spend tinkering with my XDA 1 and 2 phones and shows off her simple phone! :shock:
If nobody beats me to it I will compare the registry settings of the 30.09 and the 4.01.16 to see if I can find anything.
bamse: If you find anything to do with the fading volume in the AT&T rom whilst traulling through the reg, and can remove the "feature" from the AT&T rom you would simply be classed as a LEGEND! :lol:
The T-Mo rom still doesn't seem to be as slick as the AT&T (if only it didn't have that stupid fading volume)
Cheers

Mine keeps switching itself on as well (4.01.00 ENG) - I had always thought that it was something to do with hitting the power switch when I put it into my trouser pocket, as it has powered up when I return to my desk and take it out again. Although it seems hard to see how the power button can be accidentally pressed when putting the XDA into a pocket, especially when the button is below the contour of the case.
I would be interested to find out why this is happening.
I also noticed that the vibrate function no longer works. I have the following setting configured: "Settings, Phone, Sounds, Ring Type: Vibrate" and my XDA does not vibrate when it rings. Then I pressed the side volume button and selected vibrate (the icon next to the time changes to a vibrating XDA), and it still will not vibrate. Setting other notifications to "vibrate" also does not work.
I seem to remember it vibrating when I had an earlier ROM version (3.20.06 ENG), but not in this current ROM version (T-Mobile 4.01.00 ENG).
Can someone please confirm that I have the settings correct?
I have now installed PocketZenPhone, and it also does not work for vibrate, although other users of this program report no vibrate issues. PZP is a great program, it works really well.
I think there maybe a vibrate bug in this current ROM version (T-Mobile 4.01.00 ENG).
Has anyone had anything like this happen to them, or heard of others who have?
Thanks,
A few more observations on the T-Mob ROM;
- GPRS does not have a disconnect button, the AT&T ROM had this feature, very handy
- My signal appears to be much less stable with the T-Mob ROM
I'm going to roll back to the AT&T and put up with the volume clipping, it's far better than an unstable device, that you can't disconnect the GPRS on without turning the radio off+on & keeps on turning itself on!
Hi,
On my XDAII (1.72) I sometimes experience a not responding phone/SMS application or radio stack.
People trying to call me are instantly redirected to the voicemail, and if I try to make eiter a call or send a text message, respectively the phone application is stalling or the SMS 'Send' button stays in the 'pressed' state.
Soft-resetting the phone or toggling the 'turn off radio' function re-establishes the radio.
Does anyone knows of a solution?
Any help would be GREATLY appreciated and possibly rewarded with a 6-pack Heineken beer
weird, mines just done the same thing. I sent an sms and nothing. I was then taken to the phone screen and it said something like invalid sim something.
I'm wondering if the sim card is not locked in place. I was fiddling around with mine yesterday and maybe forgot to lock the sim card in place.
Just a thought but maybe worth checking :wink:
what radio version do you have ? I recently have the problem that when people call me, the ringtone goes for about 2 seconds, then restarts, etc.
Meanwhile I can do nothing ( green button don't work) . When the caller hangs up my phone returns to the normal state.
I use radio 1.18. Thinking of downgrading to 1.17 which people say is more stable.

Hello folks,
I have the same problem now for a week... It's driving me crazy... At
some point in time during the night or the day my Qtek2020 gets weird.
The result is that people trying to call me can't connect but to viocemail,
and I can't receive SMS. The only way I can see that I am having this
problem is that whenever I try to send a SMS I get a message "your SMS
cannot be sent", and if I try to make a call, the phone seems to dial out
normally the first second, but then the DIAL-button (which is color-less)
becomes green again...
Please, if someone knows what's wrong or if someone had the same
problem and solved without having to default the whole thing, please
let me know what is the solution.. It is really annoying, so I now have
to randomly reset my phone throughout the day.
PS: my battery is now on 4% so I have to look for my charger, and
after that I can supply with info about radio-version etc. I am running
WM2003 by the way, and I've had no problems like this before, this
unit has been working fine until now. I guess it's a sw-bug? And I
am also wondering if this problem occurs whenever I pass a place
with low signal.. hmm, it's so annoying..
Thanks for any help!

I've been having problems similar to the OP for 2-3 weeks now (found this thread in a search before posting). It's damned annoying, as it means you can't really trust your phone - am I meant to reset every morning, or more frequently? It seems an intermittent problem, in so far as I've been receiving and making calls as normal, and then you someone asks 'did you get my text?'. Gritting teeth, you call the phone from a landline to find that calls are going straight to voicemail. After a soft reset all missing texts are received immediately, and calls can again be received.
When in this state other PDA functions seem to work as normal. However, I suspect that the power display is "suspended" too. On performing a soft reset after experiencing this problem today, I immediately got "your battery is extremely low", whereas before the reset I recall it was around 50% (vBar image). As others have stated, one clue that not all is well is that sent texts do not get a "Message sent" confirmation.
I've been racking my brains as to what's changed recently on my PDA. For family reasons I've been making a lot more calls than usual, but I also added TomTom Navigator 5 a couple of months ago, and so have started intermittently using BT. But I don't use Sat Nav that frequently, and this problem seems more prevalent.
I'm conscious that I don't have latest and greatest ROM, etc, but am vary about attempting upgrades without strong reasons.
Has anyone seen and solved this issue?
Have you tried cleaning the contacts on the sim card? After a while dust and general wear and tear can mess them up. Also as it's obviously(?) a phone problem it might be beneficial to call your service provider for a new sim card.
That's what I had to do last week. Wish you the best anyway.
It can't have anything to with the sim card as I'm having this problem with a brand new sim card.
Now that the honeymoon period is over I have started noticing a few problems with the JJ. The most serious I noted is that when the JJ has gone through some use after its last soft reset it tends to freeze when a new text message arrives in the in-box. This does not happen when the JJ has been freshly soft reset and only when some time has passed since it was last soft reset. Since I have set the unit to vibrating alert on receipt of a new message the vibrator continuously starts operating and the phone freezes. To stop the vibrator you need to do a soft reset again.
Anybody had this problem??? I am planning to do a hard reset and see what happens.
Regards
Definitely related to some software that you have installed. I use sms everyday and havent faced any such problem.
Yes it does freezes your device when you receive new SMS, some time even I lost the SMS which was coming tru,..
Once I lost the MMS Account itself, then had to go for softreset and got it back again...
I've had the same thing happening. Very annoying. That's just Microsoft as we know it. We can't get out of the habbit of frequent softresets.
I did a complete ROM upgrade today and I replaced the Arabic ROM which came preinstalled on my JJ with the english version as available at the clubimate site. Without installing any 3rd party software I tested the SMS freezing problem and unfortunately it is very much there. This at least proves that no 3rd party software is to blame for this.
Now I am thinking that maybe I will have to dispose of the JJ as I so much depend on text messaging. The worst part is that as the JJ freezes on arrival of a new SMS the message itself is also lost and after doing the soft reset you can never tell from whom the message was.
I will really appreciate if anyone can help
Kind Regards
Inherent
If you have an SD card inserted try removing it and see if the problem persist.
What i dont get is why this problem is unique to a very small percentage of devices. Many of use the device for SMS quite frequently and dont face this problem. I wonder what the triggering factor is.

I have this problem since I updated my ROM.
I posted this a few days back that the Jasjar tends to hang not all the time but most of the time when a new SMS arrives and in fact the SMS is also lost when you recover after a soft reset.
I thought that I will re-post this question because now more users would have had more experience with their Jasjars. For me this problem does not seem to go. I have tried even a hard reset and the problem keeps coming back even with no third party software installed.
I shall be obliged if anyone else who has had this problem may kindly post his views because this may put some pressure on the people at i-mate to come up with a fix. I fear that since this problem is being faced by a very small minority of JJ users a fix may never see the light of the day.
Kind Regards
I have a himalaya device with WM5 and have the exact same 'sms-lockup' problem.
Also, somethimes all the incoming calls are forwarded to my voicemail, even when my phone ison and the signal is strong and im not using my device. This can only be solved by a reset or after i made a call myself. Till that time no-one could call me!
The problems started when i installed another WM5-rom and a new radio-rom( 1.18 ). This was the first time a upgraded the radio-rom, so i think this could be the problem.
Im going to install the older radio-rom ver1.08 (recommanded in combi with WM5 by buzzdef.net). I hope this solves it!
I to have the same problem... Every time you open a new text message or even after sending message and when you get delivery report it freezes and you will have to reset.. but if you are in the middle of a call the phone still works fine but not able to use the PDA part because its freeze...
Have installed another, older, radio-rom( 1.08 ) and used it for almost a week... no freezes sofar!! I dont know if this rom can be used for a Universal device...
Just uncheck the "turn off device after..." option in battery settings and this problem will go away.
This was pointed out by user Khaled in another thread.
im also experiencing this after i upgraded to Second Edition. my Himalaya tends to freeze when receiving SMS. applications starts to slow down but will eventually recover after the SMS receipt notification, no need for softresets. i also noticed that currently, it would take about 10 seconds before SMS notification appears in the screen. im sure about this because i would know that an SMS is coming because my computer monitor, adjacent to my XDA, would flicker. so the turn-around time from the flickering of the monitor to the SMS notification would last around 10-12 seconds. is this normal?
I was so fed up with the SMS freezing problem that I sold my Jasjar, albeit at a much loss and exchanged it for a new one.
Just my bad luck the problem is also there on my 2nd Jasjar. It is exactly the same as the one I have sold. When I get a new SMS the unit freezes and has to be soft reset. Please note that this does not happen every time but say 1 in 10 times. Anyways this makes the whole system very unreliable. When your phone is in your pocket and an SMS causes it to freeze you will never know if now somebody tries to make an urgent call because your unit is not responding.
I have also tried the remedy / fix mentioned in this fourm to to Uncheck Turn Off Device but does not work.
My only hope is that this problem is fixed in the next ROM upgrade.
In the meantime I am evaluating prospects of leaving the WM platform altogether and going for a Nokia 9500
a friend just adviced me that it was my Radio version that is causing the problem. 1.18 has a lot of bugs including this freezing issue. so he suggested that i reflash my ROM and go back to Radio version 1.17. could somebody point me where the bug issues of 1.18 are listed here in the forum? thanks
Hi,
I have one of 6 P4350's that go into a "hibernation" mode after being idle for about an hour or so. If the phone is called, the caller will hear it ringing, but the handset does not ring. If the power button is depressed or the slider opened during the ringing, the device will start to ring.
When it is this mode, it will not accept SMS or give a missed calls notification.
Has any had any similar experiences?
Thanks
What do you mean by you have 1 of 6? My 4350 goes into a hibernation mode; they all should.
Anyways have you tried to hardreset it?
We have 6 4350s and I own one, but all 6 give the same problem. I agree that it should go into power save mode, but after being in this mode for about an hour it will not ring when called.
Yes, we have hard reset them with no success. After a hard reset, the device boots and then a customisation process runs. Is there any way to prevent this process from running?
So all 6 have the problem of not ringing when asleep? I find that very amazing that you have 6 devices that are not working correctly. Perhaps its a setting but I don't recall ever seem a setting of this nature on my phone. Do you know what ROM version you are running? Have you tried a different providers SIM in the phone?
Yep,
All six give the same problem. Strange thing is that they run 2 different ROM versions.
We got our provider to run some checks and they can "page" the phone from the switch and it responds, but yet will not ring. I will try a SIM from another provider and see if that solves the problem.
I seem to have the same problem on my new P4350.
After being idle for some time, for example when i get up in the morning, it doesnt receive incoming phone calls. And a hard reset did not help either.
Do you already know the solution to this problem?
The same with me... on WM6
The Solution
Well, it seems to work again.
But i don't really know how i solved it
It's one of three things:
1. I changed a setting which said to automatically switch of the device after three minutes or so.
2. After calling my telco provider they said that i should switch of my phone for at least 10 minutes each day so that the SIM card has up-to-date network information.
3. I installed a new SIM card, which was necessary because of a new subscription.
I think that the first solution did not really help, since i think that after i changed that the phone still didnt work a few times. Same for the second solution.
But after i installed the new SIM card, it has not happened once
"Knockin on wood"
Hope this can help some of you in solving this problem.
Hello
I've the HTC Jade smartphone since one week, and I'm very happy of this. I love design and multiple functions.
But sometime, I observed a problem with my phone.
It was normally on, no problem with network or others appears, but nobody can phone me or sms me, and I can't phone and SMS. It doesn't work too.
As the network was disfunctionnaly.
A phone reboot resolve the problem, but in one week I oftently had this problem (three times minimum). It's a real problem because I can't know when my phone is "disconnected" or no.
Is there anybody have this problem, and know a fix of this bug ?
Thanks,
Julien.
Do you use SPB Phone suite or similar software?
It happened to me before, if I switched GSM on, did not wait until it is really on and than switched the phone to standby.
No, I don't use SPB Phone or others software for my phone.
I just use ActiveSync for synchronise phone with computer.
Do you switch your GSM network off regularly?
Try hard reset. I think that is a software problem. Are you using 3G network or GSM only?
Just found a brand new bug.
When the phone is on stand by for a long period of time (during the night), if i get a sms, it only arrives when i press the power button to light the screen.
Until then, the phone doesnt warn me about the incoming sms.
sorry, double post

No, I never switch off my GSM Network (you talk about Airplane mode ?).
And HSDPA mode and 3G are always activated.
Again now, my phone just have the problem ! I saw that when I wanted to call then it doesn't work.
I must reboot and I lost three calls and one SMS >_<
I'll test hard reboot now, and I'll tell you news.
Thanks to all !!
If you do not use any third party software, you can ask HTC support directly.

Tried that one after whole night in standby. Worked just fine... Device woke up on it's own, delivered the message, played sound, started blinking LED.
C4st92 I have same bag with my O2 Atom Exec, but nobody can`t help me long time
I waiting, waiting long time... and buy new phone - HTC 3G, 2 days ago...and... Oops, i see your news, you make me shook
I hope you can make this bag...and write here about this problem....
I have also both bugs. Yesterday, my jade loose the call and didn't react at any order. I could not abbort the call. Actually after a reset, i was not able to call anybody as a operator failure.
And today after the night, I sent me a sms from the inet and my jade didn't react althrough it was on stand by. After wake up, the SMS was shown.
I have the german version of the jade.

Hi, I have the same problem with my HTC Touch HD. Only when i set to GSM network is good. Problems are when i use Auto or 3G band. I have this device from 17.11.08. How do You thing, can I replacement for new one? Without waiting for warranty repair?
Sorry for my English.
troxter
How do You thing, can I replacement for new one?
Try But, some shop have rule "If product have problen can change within 7 days from date of purchase with the original receipt only"
I bought this phone in Orange shop. It was upgrade phone.
is it a general bug or depending on device?
I already wrote that I did not encounter this problem in my Jade.

Since hard reboot, my phone has bugg two times.
I'll test to disable HSDPA and test with just GSM/GPRS Network if I keep this problem.
Wait & See
Guys, have you tried to contact HTC directly and ask about this problem?
I am using only GSM network and I did not encounter any of those problems. But if it seems to be common, why not ask them?
I called the german HTC support two days ago and reported the problem. They want to check this. The support has no resposibility to check, they report it to HTC directly and I think they could better speak english than german ;-)
Perhaps it depends of the rom. I have the german rom and using umts.
The problem is very special. If I receive a sms after a certain time (wake off 3h), only LED flashs. When the time is longer (e.g. 6h), the LED doesn't flash receiving a sms.
