My O2 XDA Star is switching off himself every time i transport it in my trouser pocket.
I made a Hardreset but the same problem.
My O2 XDA Star is key locked every time. But it will be switching off if i transport it in my pocket.
Does anybody know this problem?

Well - Long awaited and now regretted.
The new updates from the UK O2 website have been applied to my XDA per instructions but left me with a phone that does not dial out. It reports after a delay of 10-15 secs ,"The operation failed".
SIM card checks out in an another phone. All O2 technical have suggested is a repair and have sent me a body bag for the XDA!
I would like to try a reversion to an earlier firmware if anybody knows where to get it from.
Any ideas fellow XDAers?

common problem
I have this problem whenever I put the handsfree ear piece into the phone.
Hence I do not use the ear piece.
Can anybody help me/us?
Ron
Partial solution
Try taking the earpiece out and hard resetting.
But I am a novice user

Hi all
I am new to this board and new to the xda,, I have just bought a XDA Exec (guess i am in the right place, this is the same as the "universal"?)
GOt it from ebay, boxed as new for £265 which i did not think was a bad price.
I mainly wanted it as I want to be able to use msn messager on the go, plus email and intranet access via work, plus I like the idea of putting my music on to it aswell..
As I am new to this I would appicate all the help you guys can give me.
A,,, Which ROM is the best to use (where can i download, how do i update)
B,,, What software is recommended for use
C,,, I am going to be using it as a mobile phone as well, can you use it like a normal one (IE hold to side of your head while shut and speak like you would on a normal phone)
D,,, ANy Hints tips or tricks would be greatfully received,

Do you have a problem with the O2 ROM that it (presumably) already has? The O2 ROM seems to be pretty stable and reliable. Certainly works for me. If it ain't broke....

Absolutely. You can have the screen facing out or in: the Exec has two different speakers in the screen shell for this reason. You have another two in the base for the speakerphone. The microphone is near the power button. One tip: Don't flip the screen from landscape to portrait (or vice-versa) when the phone rings. Leave it in its current orientation and answer it. If it's closed in clamshell mode and the phone rings, open the screen to see who's calling, but close it again to answer. Don't flip to portrait mode just to answer it cos you'll probably lose the call as the OS takes a second or two to flip the screen orientation. :roll:
Browse this forum for a while. You'll find lots of tips and tricks to improve your experience with your Exec. Disabling the O2 Active interface, turning off Error Reporting, and Incoming Beams are the first, most basic things you can do to improve things for yourself.
am havin som sort of trouble with my atom.. wen i turn it off by pressin the power button, some time later, i find tht the green led stops blinkin and the orange led is blinkin instead.. (my friends find tht my fone is turned off at this time..) its not lik there a notification in the background.. it blinks shorter than normal.. and wen i press the power button to turn it on, my atom restarts.. this happens quite frequently now.. am on the latest rom 20060426.. anybody else with this prob? anybody kno wat i can do to fix this? thanx in advance..
ps. i've hardreset my atom to see whether any thirdparty app is causin the prob.. this happens even if i dont have anything installed...
have you tried reflashing your atom? try doing that and let's see what happens. goodluck bro
i reflashed it, i hardreset it, but stil it keeps softresetin like that.. am beginin to hate my atom after i said i luv it just a week ago..
Same Problem encountered
Hey
I've got the same problem with my Atom regardless of whichever ROM... And so does my brother's Atom.
It seems that the Atom can't take rough handling and severe vibrations...
I say this because I noticed whenever I do some running when the Atom's in my jeans and especially when I'm riding my bike where my Atom is in the Bike Box, It will almost definitely restart thereafter...
Hope somebody could come up with a solution...
or maybe the ATOM is just a S.N.A.G. (Sensitive New Age Gadget)
Nevertheless, I still love my Atom...
Same problem.
Solution!!! !!! I guess
Hey guys...
I dropped the Atom {again} the other week... And the restarting occurs more frequently...
Found out that the Battery is NOT snuggingly fitted in its place... and I guess the drop made it worse...
What I did was I slip a folded piece of paper (about 1 - 2 mm thick) through the bottom portion of the Battery so that it pushes more tightly towards the connection...
So Now the the Battery is NICE and TIGHT pressing on the connection...
And NO MORE RESTARTS ever since...
I dunno what kindof side effects it has in the long run, but well i prefer the current situation of my phone...
sorry for the long story guys...
Good Luck
yup.. me did the sam thing.. read abt slippin paper frm else where n was waitin to see it happens for a day or two b4 i posted here.. guess the battery is too loose and just as u said, wen it get severe vibrations, the battery also moves and get disconnected frm the contacts, so the phone turns itself off.. gues this is the solution afterall.. 8)
must sue O2 for makin the battery smaller.. :lol:
Try to clean the battery contacts with some sort of blaze. If they get dirty the phone starts to restart!
Loose battery attachment has been one of the MANY physical problems of HTC units....... SmartPhone (Tanager) was one. I hope HTC Taiwan can address the problem. Paging HTC!!! Your attention, please!
Like what you did on your Atom, i slid a double-sided Scotch mounting tape so to stick the battery on its [battery] bay, the problem of "uncalled-for restarting" was solved.
By the way, my Atom will be arriving next week yet, good thing i know the loose battery mounting prior to its arrival. I might change my mind and advise the supplier to cancel my order (of course, with a total refund of my e-payment)
Good day to all.
Xda Atom ROM Upgrade (CHT) 20060426B1CHT_RS00052 also has so much bugs,,,
We were shipped 6 brand new XDA Exec’s by O2 when we renewed our contract.
When they arrived they already had on the latest Xda Exec System Software v1.30.162
They arrived last Thursday morning, by Friday afternoon we had 2 dead and by Monday morning the total was 3 dead. So O2 very nicely arranged to ship out another 6 to us, they arrived Wednesday morning. At 5pm last night 1 of them was dead!
During this time O2 technical customer services have been very helpful and are trying to reproduce the problem , I have had no problem with them at all
It needs to be noted that when they arrived they all worked.
While setting them up and testing them before deploying to our users I hit a few problems.
The first XDA was a full basic install and just locked up and would not respond to screen or keyboard input. When I did a soft reboot it would not load at all, you got the initial o2 logo screen with the ROM version numbers in the corner and that was it.
The second XDA again was a basic install but this time after a soft reboot it came back, but after a few minutes started to fail. All the Microsoft core applications like “word” worked fine, but the O2 applications like “hotspot” would not run and the other applications like “sim manager” would not work. They failed with a message and certificates being incorrect or files being missing. Basically it was unusable.
So I got my third XDA out of the cupboard late Friday afternoon and headed home.
Saturday morning I rang O2 technical customer services and found out how to do a corporate install and was told they had not heard of anyone else having these kind of problems and that we should get another 6 xda’s sent out and send the old 6 xda’s back.
So I did a hard reset with the corporate install much better and much faster, I put of doing a soft reset for as long as I could. On Monday morning I did a soft reset and things went wrong, after a few minutes the xda would lock up. I would do a hard reset and the xda would work fine until you did a soft reset. Then it to died like the first one did.
Then yesterday the first of the new batch of 6 died.
The last thing that was installed on each of them was the data transfer monitor the O2 ship via app update on xda.o2.co.uk
Has anyone seen or had problems like this with an XDA Exec?
Thanks.
Dead Exec
I have experienced similar problems since updating to the latest ROM, I have found that If I connect to an External power source the system reboots fine and remains fine for an indeterminate time 1 hour, 1 day, 1 week or more but completely unpredictable.
Corporate Install
How do you do a corporate install?
My pet bird died. :roll:
Hi, I have also had the same problems for about 2 months now, and the more i read into this its seams that it is a hardware not a software problem. And most people are lucky enough to have a new uni and can send it back on warrenty, sadly not mine.
with regards to the corporate instal. when u flash the new o2 rom and it loads up. you will get a screen with "personal mode" or "corporate mode"
click the corporate mode and enter 0506 as the axcess code.
hope this helps.
hi all. i have an xda exec which is batterd and heavily used so i bought new spv silver case for it and fitted the yesterday. all went well untill i tried the phone today. the screen wont turn off when lid closed and it doesnt automaticaly roatate. Also when i use the camera everything is upside down and it wont save any pictures, it just say not enough memory but i have an empty 1gig in there.
Has anybody come across this before? cheers
craig
Craig - some cases contain magnets that screw around with the auto-rotation.
Is your effect now permanent? If so, use a different case, backup, then hardreset to revert to factory settings.
