Hello there, I am quite new to this forum, only being a lurker for quite some time. But I have decided to join because I am in dire need of help. My MDA/Wizard has suddenly gone out of control. I have had Mobile 6.1 installed on it for years with no problem, and the .cabs I have are working fine.
Now, recently, my phone has acted in a very unfavorable manner that has even caused me to hard reset it to it's original state, with still no luck. On about three different occasions, my phone's lights, keyboard and face, have gone off, and stay on until the phone locks. The main buttons, (Directional arrows, Exit, Call, Internet Explorer, and Mail) do not function unless I press a top right hand corner button on the keyboard twice. From there, it slightly functions. When I quickly press the power button and press it again, the phone will enter its mail area. Doing this again opens up internet explorer. Pressing the center button in the directional pad causes the screen adjustment function to suddenly appear. The keyboard can barely function.
I have no idea what's causing this, any help please?
try getting the newest hard spl and flashing a new rom. maybe your rom got corrupted

Hi,
I've had my Hermes for about a month now. On about 4 occassions I've pulled the keyboard to use it and input will not be 'received' properly. It seems the Hermes gets stuck in a 'mode'.
Some of the keys work... like at the moment I clicked forward on an email, slid the keyboard out to start typing but the letters did not work. Pressing 'Return' activates the start menu, however.
I started pressing random things to get it work: I pressed the green phone button to get to the dialer, tapped the X for the dialer to get back to the email and now the keyboard is working again. Weird!
Has anyone else experienced anything similar?

If you can rule out software issues then there is a push on multi connector inside that may not be pressed in firmly!

I've had this problem sometimes. If I 'beat the phone' to it, or catch it mid-thought, as it were... Just have to be a bit slower with it. Seems that I slide the keyboard out before it has time to allocate the appropriate amount of CPU time to flipping the screen and initialising the hardware input, so it either takes a few presses for it to register, or it just gets stuck in keyboard-in mode, and I have to soft reset to make it work.
Happened on my old Hermes, not happened yet (touch wood) on my new replacement.
Hi All,
I have a strange problem, tried to search the forum,
without success...
Sometimes the OK button doesn't response (both OK buttons...),
only clicking OK on the screen works.
another issue - sometimes when clicking the action button nothing happens, or even worse - it acts like a long press even when I press it really shortly...
Any one else had such problems?
Is it (as I guess) a hardware problem?
I have the same problem and I dont think its the hardware cause the button is not presented in "buttonmapping" in the controlpanel. This has worked before. Please respond if you solve the problem.
Mine does it on occasion. Pretty sure it's software and It seems to happen with the same apps each time. Make note of what apps you have running when it happens.
Just started doing it again but I realized that I have never had a prob with the OK or Start Menu buttons but rather the softkeys. In Today Agenda, the left key (edit) stopped working and then a few minutes later the right key (menu) stopped working. I closed all apps and the problem persisted with every appointment I opened. Soft reset fixed it.
I should also add that I am not using the latest version of Today Agenda because I have not figured out how to make it look like the version I am used to.
Might be related: a lot of games I have tried don't seem to support the softbuttons, phone buttons, or really much else besides the directional pad and center select button.
I experienced something strange with my Qtek 9100 today. when i turned on my phone, all the keys including the call and the 'hang up'-button where backlighted. the keys did not respond as they should, and pressing the d-pad center would either open the start menu or initialize the screen calibration. if i opened the Notes app and created a new note, the note was filled with single letters like the L, the H or the Y. none of the keys seemed to be working when i pressed them.
i've experienced this once before, and the only thing in common is that i had my phone in a thight pocket for several hours. last thime i solved the problem by hibernate the unit and pressing all the keys, and turn it on again. this time it wasn't that easy, but i managed to get it working again at last.
but why is this happending?
PS: i've tried soft reset and taking out the battery, and that didn't help.
Please help me and my phone
Odd Behavior T-mobile Wing
T-Mobile Wing
ROM 4.10.531.3 WWE
ExtROM 4.10.531.103
Bought this at a garage sale.
Behaves strangely.
Start with a hard reset.
Using the notes application,
I can draw on the screen or use the
keyboard.
I can save the note, repoen, edit it
etc. as it should.
If I power off the Wing and turn it back
on, I can no longer open a note for
editing. The touchpad acts as though
a control key has been pressed.
I can highlight multiple notes, just not
do anything with the selection.
There's a link in the notes options menu
"global input options". It works the first
time, but does nothing after power off cycle.
I can create a new note, but can't draw
on the screen. It just highlights
lines where the text would go on the
screen. I can type a note and save
it, but can't view or edit it.
Soft reset fixes it until the next power off.
It's interesting that the manual makes no mention
of ever opening or editing a note.
The windows key brings up the screen alignment
screen. The buttons menu says the key is
assigned to the start menu. If I reassign
the key and then reassign it back to start menu,
it works as desired until the next power off.
It's then back to alignment.
When I turn it off, it pops right back on.
After several power off presses, it finally
stays off.
I don't have or want cellular service.
I'm using the wifi successfully.
Seems to behave properly when surfing the web.
After deleting one of the customizations, forget
which, I can
copy files and run programs.
I'm experienced with WM5, but this is my first
WM6 device.
I've googled myself silly. I find references
to new ROM's but all the links are broken or
file no longer exists.
I've tried deleting the customized applications,
no help. I've interrupted a hard reset with a
soft reset to prevent installation of the customizations,
still no help.
This is such an obvious defect, it couldn't
have made it past first evaluation. Must be
something I'm doing, or it's busted.
Ideas on how/what to fix?
Thanks, mike
Hi! I have a massive problem atm that I'm hoping to get your guys help on. My screen on my HD2 WP7 device is caput...not responding at all to any touch input. I know that this had nothing to do with the ROM (PDAimatejam Rom v8) but more the hardware itself (I believe that this is a common problem with old HD2's - ie. diffuser goes or something). Right now the only thing I can do is accept or reject an incoming call. I don't mind resetting the device but there are 2 SMS text messages that I desperately need to read.
Is there any way to access these via my computer using USB->microUSB, or if there is a utility that I can flash to it to allow me to access the device interface? If so, it will have to be something that I can flash as I cannot access the device interface at all.
Hopefully I can resolve this soon with your advice/help! Thank you in advance!
you can try but only if you have SMSBackup installed on phone
restart phone (screen must be not locked) to show main screen with tiles
connect to Zune
install SMSBackup to phone (if not installed) http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1448197
install wf Phone Tools to PC (if not installed) http://wpmanagertool.codeplex.com/
run wf Phone Tools, connect to device (Zune must be run and screen unlocked), select "extract sms from device"
Thanks for the reply dxdy. I'm downloading wfPhoneTools now. ClickOnce installer ran but application doesn't open. In any case, I'm unsure if this work....if I reboot my phone I won't even be able to get to the main tiles interface. I can bypass the "Enter PIN" screen by pressing 'Back' on my device, but that will take me back to the lockscreen, and device is not registering any touch input for me to even slide up to unlock. Advice please?
screen not responding? try pressing the call and power button alternating quickly and simultaneously. This works coz sometimes the digitizer is located at the bottom of the power button and gets stuck at times from pressure (like putting it in a tight pocket) and the green button puts counter pressure on the opposite side so relieve the pressure

Hi drmodify. Tried that as well but to no avail. I followed some advice I read up somewhere on XDA to press down hard just above the power button, in a way to kind of 're-seat' the digitizer (lol, I called it a diffuser in my op!). That actually did the trick, albeit temporarily. But managed to get my SMSs off the phone. Thanks anyway for the input!
