First try a few soft resets. Do not go straight for a hard reset or you may get stuck on the alignment screen and then there's nothing you can do.
You have got FULL backups I hope??? If so try running one of them.
Mike
thx, after rebooting it like 10 times i just took the battery ou tand left it for half an hour, when i put it back in the touchscreen worked again

Interesting, not seen exactly that happen before. Pleased it's working - report back here if it happens again - just for info
Mike
I received my new P3600 last night and played around with it a little. I installed quite a few apps on to the storage card.
Now, what happens is that when I soft reset the device, it keeps on freezing at the green page saying (Windows Mobile - Direct Push Technology). last night I have seen the little spinning thing, now I dont even see this anymore.
Does anyone have the same problem? I am about to return to the device to the seller but want to make sure that really is a device problem rather then anything else.
Any experience with this?
take the manual or use the search for hard reset

well, I keep resetting and eventually the device does start up (out of 10 resets, it works 3 times).
I am wondering though if i should return this one asap. I have had a few devices over the years but never seen a problem like this.
Is resetting a known problem for P3600's?
The error was not the device but one of the applications, I installed.
Glad you're sorted!
Which app was it- as a warning for other users to avoid?

Mine has just done it now. Apparently it is usually an application on the device that is causing problems. I would guess something along the lines of a today plug in or similar.
Trinity Rox
I've had my trinity now for about 2 months.
I just did a hard reset using the clear storage option on a WM6 rom I installed. I ran the "miniSD HC v3.1.zip" fix but my 512 card just vanished on boot up. Came back and saw the card, No problems. A word of warning before you start toying with your new Phone. put "PPCPimBackup" on your storage card and backup all your contacts etc. This app is a life saver.
Hello,
I have the same problem.
What to do?
just boght the p3600 and after using it 2 days i cant restart it.
its stuck whene the screen shows Windows mobile detect push technology.
what to do?
i have WM 5
I've got a bit of an odd issue with an XDA Trion/Hermes -
Basically no matter what ROM I use (WM5/WM6/Cooked) after installing a few apps (doesn't matter which ones - I've tried all kinds of combinations) when I do a soft reset the device will boot back up and hang at the Windows Mobile splash screen. If I hard reset the device functions fine again until I load some stuff on it. I've also seen it do this without anything installed - but it is a lot less frequent.
All in all I can't go more than a few days without having to hard reset and reload my stuff. Sometimes its one day, sometimes its multiple days. Restoring from a backup also causes this to happen - so hard resetting and then restoring is not an option. Also, I've left the device at the splash screen from a full battery to dead just to make sure I wasn't being impatient.
Anyone seen this before? Any ideas before I call HTC and ask them to look at it?
Suggest you do some searches on "bad memory block"
Mike
Will do - thanks for the suggestion!

Well did I did a bunch of searching as you suggested - spent almost 4 hours yesterday just on the forum looking for answers on this. Using "mtty" and checking in the bootloader I've determined there to be no bad blocks.
I've tried all sorts of different WM6 Roms, Hard SPL, you name it. All of them end up with the same problem.
The only time I don't have a problem is when I use an OEM WM5 ROM. Using an OEM WM6 Rom - I have the problem come back.
RUU_Hermes_CINGULAR_WWE_2.15.502.3_6275_1.40.30.00_108_Ship == NO Lockup on Splash Screen
RUU_Hermes_CINGULAR_WWE_3.62.502.3_6275_1.54.07.00_108_UOOS_SVN05_Ship == Lockup on splash screen after a few MB of apps/data added to the device
Any other ideas?
Mmm... well I think you need someone more expert than I. You might try a PM to the likes of MrVanx to see if anyone has reported this or some of the other developers for the Hermes Pof et al.
Mike
Thanks Mike I appreciate the attempt - I think I might just be happy with the fact that its working again. Its really just backup device to my iPhone but at least now I can rely on it again to hold onto my data for more than a couple days. I'll spend some more time reading all the posts. Now that I know what I have to do to get it working again after trying something experimental its not so bad.
Thanks again
I've been having the same problem with my 8525, it like sometimes more then not, it freezes at the green windows mobile. It is really frustrating, let me know if you have found a solution, but the problem with my 8525 is the lag, in it, I'm thinking of maybe switching to a blackberry 8320 if this problem doesn't get fixed.

Are you experiencing the same problem as the poster? I am not experiencing anything like it at all. I have a jasjam, and flashed with a shipped ROM first, and then with CRCinAU's version 11.2, what have you got installed on your phone? Just remember the specs of the hermes, compared to the likes of a raphael or even a polaris (touch cruise).
Don't go jumping the gun getting an iphone, read this bit for a bit of a review. I honestly not having the problems some of the guys are having here knowing my phone's limitations and what I can get out of my hermes.

I am getting the same problem as the poster. I have a Palm Treo 750 running WM6 from Palm web site ATT version 2.25 download.
After I load a few of my apps on there the phone will all of a sudden start playing up with the buttons not responding. I do what you should be able to do and soft reset by it all stops at the windows logo then end of story. Only way out is hard reset and set everything up again.

Must be some app conflict, I have my wife's treo with me at the moment and it is as good as new, can't imagine what would be conflicting with the treo tho
Hi guys!
I'm verry satisfied with Iolite. It's a good, fast communicator, but disturbed by one problem - phone freezes.
Few times a week, because of nothing. I could not understand what is the reason.
Usually, it's comes 2 times sequentially.
Soft-reset is healing everything, but it's bothering to open the cover all the time.
I have even made hard-reset.
I am trying to be verry carefull with new soft installations but freezes still proceed.
Does someone else have the same problem?
What could be a reason of it?
Manila/WM or maybe some mechanical parts inside?
Freezing
I just got mine, its a US 3g version. No problems with freezing but I have not used it much yet. I did manage to change the Footprint button discussed in this forum. I didn't buy the phone for that, fact is I would have uninstalled it if I could.
I was surprised the resolution is better than I expected.
I have mine 2 months and I haven't this problem exept a few times caused by a program crash. But I think that some appication is responcible. Didn't you tried to hard reset and without to install anything else to test for a few weeks?

Hello!,
After trying a numerous NAND roms for my HD2, on every of them the accelerometer is not working. But flashing back to winmo everything is OK and accelerometer works.
Problems having : No screen rotation, no games work which need accelerometer, no bubble meters and so on.
I saw lots of threads here, but none of them were answered. Also some fixes out there from january, but its is said that new kernels include that fix.. Being really desperate about the accelerometer to start working tryed everything , all those fixes - none of them worked.
I really would appreciate if somebody would say a 100% answer if they had same problem and is it for EVERYONE that you are chilling around without accelerometer with NAND roms?
Or, a nicely explained , or some new fixes around there, to fix that..?
I have European HD2, Bought in Estonia. 2.15 radio, and RAFDroid build atm 4.02
Before teyed all cyagenmod build from MDJ, imilka builds, Coredroid, etc.
Waiting for a adequate anwer!, and Thank you in advance!
Daniil.
No pb for me with each Nand i tested. (prj Clean Desire, typhoon, Hyperdroid)
i had this to on my sd build i used to have but when i went to NAND everything was fixed
maybe you can try to recalibrate it in android?

Usually d G-Sensor/Accelerometer has been pre-calibrated while cooking d android build...I've never had such a problem on SD, NAND or RAM builds....Perform a Task 29 on ur device and try flashing the build contained in my signature....CMY's work has always been great...
Done task29, done recalibration in android, everything... same. There is numerous people having the same prob , as i have seen from questions subforum.

Hmmm...Since it works on WinMo, try recalibrating it there and then run an android sd build (i just tried "Desire_DL" series and all was ok....on d other hand, have u tried d NAND build in my sig?
I have tryed everything, including your builds in the signature.... Nothing helps
Help!
Try the post that is in my sig, there is alot of info in there that might be of use to you. What definitely controls the G-Sensor is the bma150_usr file. If nothing in my post helps you at all, then I am unable to help you further since I dont have a Eu HD2. But I still believe that there might have been a revision which might explain your troubles as well as some other people.
Tryed that also, no help at all.

Hmm, dats quite a dilemma....I tk it u can't return n request for another device seeing as u got it 4rom Estonia...or can u?
Android is not supposed to run on HD2 anyways, so why should i have an opportunity to return my device for another one?

True it wasn't but IT IS...I and several others are proof it works beautifully on the HD2, even better than some native android devices...I offered a suggestion n its ur call 2 tk it or leave it...I on d other hand, love my current android build on my HD2.
Have u tried this workaround?
P.S. Oh yeah, and my accelerometer/g-sensor works perfectly in apps n games.
I mean, yeah it is working, but... not working for my device. And the point was that i can't take it to my local shop for a return, as the g-sensor works for the WinMo, and they will say that its your fault that it isn't working in android. Yeah i know that accelerometer works on androids on the Tmobile HD2-s
And yeah, i have tryed
Different type of g-sensor
I understand that some newer builds of the HD2 have a different type of g-sensor. I have x4 HD2's. 3 are working perfectly with HyperDroid CM7 cheerful cheetah. The forth is used by my company co-director which I recently tried to move over to the HyperDroid CM7 cheerful cheetah from WM6.5. This is when I came across the problem. Very annoying. The fact is that this device went back to HTC to repair/replace a cracked screen (I dropped the device last June). I suspect they gave me a reconditioned or replacement unit with the "updated" sensor.
Please advise me if there are any new developments. I can confirm that the HD2 (with the working g-sensor) has incredible battery life and is only my no.2 device because of the 8mp camera on the DesireHD.
Regards,
Jay

Hi Jay, I've got a similar problem.
Actually, I've got (or had) an EU model, and my screen cracked, so it has been out for repair. So both descriptions in this post (yours and Auralol's) fit my problem. I have been looking for a fix for a while now, did you find anything?
I would love it to work, it really is the only thing that doesn't. If this is fixed, my HD2 would be perfect and irreplaceable.
If you find anything that helps, keep me posted?
Kind regards,
Bas
Hey Bas,
I contacted vfuk & simply said that there was a problem with the g-sensor on my HD2... The helpful telephone attendant asked me to remove the battery, memory and sim cards and a replacement device would be with me the next day. The following day the courier took the troubled HD2 and handed me a new Desire HD albeit without the antenna and battery covers. I have a spare battery and ordered the covers from expansys.
I did explain to vfuk what happened - they said I wasn't to worry.
At the time of writing I now have x4 dhd's and a working HD2 with HyperDroid which I am going to give to a pal to lure him away from Nokia...
I now have no way of helping you further. Sorry bout that.
Best,
Jay

Heyy Jay,
Thanks for the reply. So, you kind of worked around the issue Sounds like great customer service. Too bad my provider does not work like that.
Just being curious if you had the same problem as I am facing now, did you try to retrieve / read data from the sensor (i.e. with "sensor debug")? I tried yesterday, didn't get any data at all. Probably means Android doesn't see the sensor, or it is indeed a different sensor and therefore needs other drivers.
I just downloaded some e-books about android and java, just to see how it works with hardware. Maybe it is possible to implement my 'own' drivers in a ROM to make sure the sensor can be detected at least. I guess it is going to be my pet project to find a solution, and when I do, I'll probably try to get it posted on xda. But then again, my programming skills are minimal at this point (just some Basic, html and Step 7), so it might take me a while...
Anyway, thanks for the reply. Too bad your solution does not work for me (I would not mind that either).
Kind regards,
Bas

Hi,
I'm having the same issue as you and was wondering if you had made any progress or if there is anything I could help you with although my programming knowledge is probably more limited than yours. Anyway this issue seriously needs to be looked at! :'(
Still no fix?
Hello, I know it is old thread, but I see there are more people than only me having this issue. Same thing happens to me. Accelerometer isnt working on Android, but it works great on WinMo. I tried a lot of ROMs, "fixes", but nothing helped at all. I used apps like Sensor debug, and sensor list, seems that they dont see my g sensor at all, like someone said before. As I know, g sensor is connected with bma150_usr file, but I used my Root Explorer to search for that file and there is no such a file at all. Shouldnt it come to my device with other ROM files? Yes, I tried to put it where it should be, but the same s**t again... Is there anyone who solved this thing? Because I dont see any solutions mentioned in the whole xda forum.
Looking forward for answers which REALLY helps.
Hi,
I have this same problem, My g-sensor didin't work on AMeriCan Android.
I was reading a topic http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=902129, and my question for this: How I can delete files
Before installing the file above, go to System/Bin and delete the bma150_usr, then navigate to Data/Misc, and delete the following files:
AK8973Prms.txt
AK8973.Prms.txt.tmp (If there)
bma150_usr.txt (If there)
After navigate to the above file and add it to System/BIN and then your calibrating will function correctly and adjust the values properly.
