Wizard wont turn on - however lights still flash?????

Im currently using the imate rom 2.16.9.1.wwe Rom date 2/6/06 extrom version 0 2.16.9.101
It has been working fine for the past few weeks and the performane increase has been much better. I was also using the oush mail which also worked well. Then a few days ago I started to have a few problems with the phone, basically it would look as if it was working the lights flashing, however when I went to turn it on it wouldn’t turn on. The only way to resolve this si to soft reset the handset. This problem is now occuring on average 2 times a day! I havent even installed any new software!! Thwe only major incident before this started happening was I used skype twice! But havent used it since! I have also stopped push mail cause I thought this maybe the issue but it didn’t solve it!
Its so annoying cause I think the device is operating normally cause I see the flashing lights however it cant do anything cause it has frozen!
Any ideas???
I was thinking of going for a hard reset but if I restore my backup ive taken with spb will this not just reintroduce the problem?

just to add for further info i have no apps running and the
program memory is total - 44.01mb
in use 19.67mb and Free 24.34
thats after a soft reboot!!

This might be a really silly suggestion, so appologies if it is, but could it be just the backlight turned off for some reason so it looks like the device is off when it is actually on?

No, I don't think that it is the backlight as I am also now experiencing this same problem ... approx 1 - 2 time daily. You think that the phone is functioning until you try to use it. Only option is soft reset.
Any help on this would be appreciated.

no at present a soft reset is the only cure and even then it may occur again later on! Bluey HK are you using the same rom as me??? the imate one?

its done it twice already today and its only midday! the last time i was just browsing the web, closed the browser, then switched it off and then couldnt turn it back on! Do you think it may be a memory leakage issue????

This happened to me yesterday on my T-Mobile MDA. I am running the latest T-Mobile_RUU_Wizard_2210401_221_20710_ENG_US image from xelencin.
What appears to have triggered the problem for me was attempting to connect to T-Mobile's My Email app to download mailbox settings while the signal level is too low or intermittent (Wi-fi and Bluetooth were disabled).
The backlight would not turn on and I could observe the My Email app trying to access the server.

it sounds as though it may be a bug connected with a GPRS connection???

ahh its done it again, this time i wasnt doing anything just died! I think i am gonnna have to do a hard reset cause this is making the phone unuseable!

if i do a hard reset and then install a back up is there a high possibility that this will reintroduce the bug???

its not the backlight
my 8125 is having the same damn problem. its nto a backlight issue, as it just stalls, and the past 4 times its done it, i've just removed the battery and turned it back on as a soft reset wont work, and i can't it to react to any commands. this is either a software issue all our phones are dying. i was having this problem with summitter's previous 2.17 rom, then updated to the recent 2.17.11 aku 2.2 rom... thinking the upgraded rom is what it needed...NOPE... still crashed. almost all instances i believe are when the wifi connection was active. but i could be making that up, i'm positive on 3 occasions it was with a wifi connection active. but not too sure about the 4th.
this is making me insane, and we need to figure out whats up~!

to expound on the problem:
one time i was in the middle of checking voicemail, then tried to delete, but the screen wouldn't light up, and it wasn't responding to my option 7 to delete command. the other time was in the middle of a phone call. something's up....

i am having the same issue with my 9100, its running the latest offical rom, mine does it whenever it feels i dont believe it is wifi or gprs related as i have the problem at time when i have been using neither.
there does not appear to be a link to any software i am using either
any ideas?.

yea- i get the same sometimes, i go to take my phone out of standby and it wont do anything, the power button doesnt work- the light just flashes. sometimes it freezes on the today screen, the power button dont work or anything. really need to sort this!

any ideas? any1 else get this? its where u put ur MDA in standby, and next time u press power button 2 turn on nufin happens, but the leds still flash at the top!

yep i still get the problem! still no cure!

I have exactly the same problem... I just pick up my device from my pocket to use it, I press on the power button once but the device won't wake up from the standby mode. I wish someone can give us a cure.

Low Battery...
I had this happen to me once recently...for me it was becuase my battery was too low. Freaked me out, because everything looked good, but I would power on and get nothing! Right after it started it powered on for a sec then quit. I had to put it on the charger and leave it for a couple hours to get a good solid charge, then everything was fine. Hope this helps....

thanks for the response, unfortunately mine is definately not related to the battery charge!

mine hasnt done it in the last day, ive been leaving it a while before putting it into standby. i used to exit my app (messaging or whatever) and shut it off straightaway, but i give it a sec or 2 to make sure its all good
and its doin ok so far!

HELP | TyTN unable to wake up after power off!!!

Guys
I am facing a really weird problem which is becoming increasingly frustrating and driving me nuts.
I usually charge my phone overnite using the stock charger. The phone powers off after a while as per the the settings (15 mins I think) and stays like that throughout the night. But in the morning it fails to wake up totally. Nothin works. So, I am forced to soft reset it everytime this happens. This has happened quite a few times now.
Any ideas why this might be happening? This is killing me because the alarms dont sound and the phone is totally dead in the morning.
ps. I am using the stock HTC ROM (1.18, 07/22), on Cingular UMTS.
Thanks in advance.
JoKer

Dude, I'm getting the EXACT same thing!!!! I'm using using the stock TyTN ROM! I have no idea what's causing it, or even how to fix it. I thought it had something to do with software, but that doesn't seem to be the case here. I need help too!!!!

) .. that's crazy .. maybe this is the next SA ... jk ..
but seriously ... maybe there are more folks with this prob ... let's see if anyone knows any more details about this or how to fix it ..
And the really strangest thing is that this doesnt happen to me in the day .. it powers off and wakes up fine .. but then it's never powered off for that long ..

Mine seems to happen when it's powered off for a given amount of time. It's insanely annoying because I have to reboot, and I hate rebooting the phone.

I've experienced a lot less of this behavior since moving to the 1.20 radio ROM...

I'm at the 1.20 radio, and I'm still having the problem.

I too am having exactly this problem. I have flashed the Cingular 1.34 ROM but it seems that the ROM doesn't matter. (I notice the bluetooth and or wifi lights are still on, the screen just doesnt come back to life).

Hi, you probably already tested this, but your device goes into standby mode with WiFi on it will become locked and unable to power on.
But it has happenned to me this sympton without WiFi connected.
Cheers

check out this search...there are a few topics on this already

Well I used to think there was some truth to the freezing being related to certain apps... and I suspected on mine it was PhoneAlarm causing problems.
Last week I hard reset and re-installed everything except PhoneAlarm but am having freezing if my TyTN is not used for some time (does not have to charge to freeze!)... And yes, I do kill ActiveSync and WiFi when I know I will not be using my phone for a while. My conclusion is that there's more to this and that maybe a newer ROM from HTC will address this - anyone know what the status is on this??
BTW, anybody else having alarms going off constantly on re-boot or MS VC reading out ca. 2 weeks of appointments on soft re-boot?

I still don't think there is a definitive answer on this. I've heard quite a few things to fix it; but I don't really have any of the software that's mentioned. Someone said it was because I had Opera installed (so I uninstalled it), then someone said it was because of the ActiveSync Advanced Network Connection option (I unchecked that), last someone said it was because of SBSH PocketWeather, and to take that off the today screen. Well I'd rather not do the latter, so I'll test these two and see how it goes.

I think it's the today plug-in issue. I hard reset and left off PW and it didn't lock-up for 2 days. But like you, I like it a lot.
So I'll deal with resetting it.

For me, it's just Pocket Plus, Resco File Explorer and WA Lite on the Today screen along with the standard stuff .. really nothin that needs to connect to the connect to the internet .. and still ..

The one that caused the TyTn not to wakeup was Wisbar Advance. Since removing it, I've not had any issues with the pda not waking up from power off.

Ok, what are you using in its place?

Well after uninstalling Opera, and unchecking the check box; I had the problem again! ( So annoying (.

Well i'll post my problem too
I have missed class twice in a week because the phone alarm never rang in the morning. The phone was frozen and i had to reset it in both cases. I always leave it charginf over night and now i'm afraid to turn it off anymore for fear of never waking me up in the morning
Adi

guys,
I am suspecting the issue is related to the today's plugin. After a few days of experiments, I believe the battery level reading utilities such as SPB pockets plus or Resco today plugin might be the one we are looking for.
Not only uncheck it, but also un-install it, hopefully, would help to solve the problem.
Mark

I have no today's plugin, just the standard stuff, en i do have the same problem

Give the Fake Server Trick a try, which worked for similar symptoms on the old Axim x51v: http://www.aximsite.com/boards/showthread.php?t=112638
If your problems are caused by the same thing, then this is to do with Activesync launching itself automatically. This in turn causes windows mobile 5 to stop waking up from standby, requiring a soft reset. No idea why.
I did the FST straight away when I received my TyTN and I don't get any of the problems you describe at all. It's worth a go!

Tomtom freezing problem fix

For thoughs who have had problems with tomtom freezing up a few times at the beginning.
i was messing about with tomtom 6 and always had that dreaded freeze at the beginning. I usually keep my bluetooth off (as tomtom usually activates it)and on this occasion i decided to keep it on before activating the tomtom program and didnt even see any freezes. I hope that helps some people. I only thought of this cause as noticed during the freezes the bluetooth flashey light didnt come on and only come on after program was running fine.
If someone has worked it out before me sorry for repeating it but didnt see it when i was searching the forums.
Kidd

I've been fixing this by pressing ok button when it freezes up and switch back to TT via taskmanager to continue working

I've always 'fixed' this by turning the power off and back on again, that sorts it 95% of the time. I do the same with the bluetooth though, never have it on, so woudl try that, except the lock-ups have gone on WM6.

yeah i know about the green or red dial button. but i noticed i dont need to do that if the program starts up fine and works most of the time.

This problem is present in new Rom with aku 3.3.1?
And in wm 6?

Bluetooth hardware fault?!

Hi,
Got a Vario 2 running TNT 2.0 Pro pp6 ROM.
Its brand new and was working great with TomTom 6 and my 32 channel bluetooth GPS device.
Then after two days of having the phone, Bluetooth radio would not turn on at all - i.e. in comms manger when selecting Bluetooth it starts loading and then goes back to disabled.
In Bluetooth settings, trying to enable and find a device comes back with bluetooth hardware failure. I therefore thought it was faulty as was goign to send it back.
A Hardware reset does not fix it, nor does flashing back to orginal WM5 rom.
However...
Removing the battery for over 6-7 hours and then restarting the device, bluetooth comes on from boot up and works fine. Then if bluetooth is turned off or the phone reset for any reason it will not turn on again until the battery is taken out for 6-7 hours again! WTF!?
Since then I have also found that starting Tomtom 6 (which hangs or goes realy slow as it cannot start the bluetooth radio), if while tomtom is booting i then go into comm manger and start bluetooth it eventually turns bluetooth on! BUT no devices are then discoverable.
Again take battery out for 6-7 hours and bluetooth is ok at start again!
Any ideas whats going on?
Is there an bluetooth radio/stack that can be upgraded to try differnt drivers etc?
Cheers

TNT 2.0 Pro PP6
Radio 1.16.00.00

No one had the same fault then?
Time to take it back for a new one!

Yep, same here.
Was using Tomtom at the time, and it just lost connection with the Bluetooth GPS. Ever since, Bluetooth will not turn on - Blue LED flashes, but it stays turned off and fails with a bluetooth hardware error message..
I've flashed new ROM's and done hard resets, and never managed to get BT back again. Never actually had a chance to try leaving the battery out for so long though, should give it a try.
Andy.

exactly the same problem here, if I try to search for new devices to pair I get a "Problem with Bluetooth Hardware" error

So has anybody got any idea what could cause this?
Really doesn't make a lot of sense to me. I managed to get it working again briefly, as per instructions in first post, but never again since.
A reflash surely sets the RAM/ROM back to default state, and leaving the battery out is obviously resetting the hardware in some form. What I don't understand is why it happens in the first place, and why leaving the battery out would fix enough for it to work again, albeit briefly, but then not again til another removal of the battery.
In all my 30 years or so of playing with electronics hardware it makes little sense to me.
Andy.

I'm glad I'm not the only one stumped by this.
I just can't understand how it can work perfectly well and then all of a sudden stop working. I've tried 5 different radio and OS roms in the last 2 days and they all have the same problem.
Madness

I was using the Schapps WM6 ROM and had this same issue to a t. Installed official HTC WM6 ROM and problem solved. Point blank though, Windows Mobile sucks, I'm going back to my Symbian V3.

I have this same problem.
I had my BT working fine - connected to my PC for AS, and to my BT GPS. But, now it won't start up.
Using Comm Mgr, or connex-BT doesn't work.
Any solutions?

have the same Problem Anyone an Idea for this

Trinity keeps hard resetting loop !

Hi all.
I've had my Trinity for 3 years now, and all of a sudden, the phone keeps doind hard resets without notice.
I tried to install a different ROM, even a 6.5 one, but this problems keep happening.
Any idea what's the problem??
Thanks in advance.

Anyone??? no one had a problem like this before?

me too
OK,
now I have the same problem.
Screen suddenly get black with backlight on. Only option then is taking the battery out or wait until it's out of power. When this happens, Trinity will start fully reseted next time with every data on on it loss.
And yes, this happens over and over again, so you can really call it some kind of loop.
Good news however, that flashing new ROM would be almost wasted time.
Then it would be even dangerous whilest this happens on flashing.
Also I feel that it does not happen when all automatic power saving options are deactivated. Maybe it happens while switching the backlight off?!
Do you have SIM-Lock? Because I still have and GPS also not installed with oldest Win5 Rom ever (caught on ebay )
Any solution?
Thanks for every idea.
EDIT: I found also this threat beneath. This problems might be of same value.:
