Dear All,
I have had my SPV now for about 4 weeks now and very pleased with it. However, twice in the last week it hasn't responded when I turned it
on and ended up removing and re-inserting the battery. When it comes back, it starts with the "Welcome to Pocket PC" setup wizard and all my data is gone.
Has anyone else had this problem. This problem has happened with both
versions of the ROM. The only s/w I am running is
Tube (VisualIT)
MS Arcade Pack (Pacman, DigDug etc)
MS Voice Command
Agenda Fusion
CityTime
Regards & Thanks
Chris
Yeah i got the same problem. But it happens when I upgraded my ExtRom from Orange.com. Sometimes it stays at suspend mode, then i have to perform a hard reset to wake up the device. Very odd.

I have had my M1000 for about four weeks too now and although it occasionally soft resets it never fails to respond to the power button. Maybe you have a faulty phone?
On a different note, you say you have Voice Command, I was looking for places that sell it in the UK but it appears to only be available in the US, if you could let me know where you got it I would be really grateful.
Hope you sort your phone out!

High all
No probs so far
Swiss m1000 installed Programs
Pocket Hack Master ( Overlock your PDA )
Pocket Mechanic ( Clean Defragment and more )
Snails ( adictive Worms(TM) Clone )
Crazy Cart ( adictive Mario Cart(TM) clone
and lots more.
Im overlocking my CPU to 530 MHZ and no Trubbles so far.
Got the thing for two months now, running in this config for about one month.
Peace
Yep, I am having the same problem or much the same problem. The unite works fine until every four or five days when I notice that the bluetooth light and the green phone radio light are flashing (even though bluetooth is turned off). It does not respond to the power button and then lights go off when I try a soft reset. The only way I can get it back on it with a hard reset.
It does not seem to be a battery issue as the battery is fully charged and when I try plugging in the Charger (before doing the hard reset) the charging light does not light up. I have had the same problem with several M1000s from Orange.
Anyone have any ideas at to what might be going on?
Thanks,
Steve

With Orange Switzerland SPV M1000 I experience the following problems:
1) Bluetooth lights (blue light) and the battery lights flashes even though
bluetooth is not connected and the battery level is fine.
2) Once every other day the device (though fully charged) freezes and I end up doing soft reset.
3) Removing battery already puts the device to soft reset. Orange
4) The activeSync is running without me having to start any activeSync session.
5) Abruptly I get message the memory is full and the device then freeses.
Is anyone having the above problems? How do i resove this?
Many thanks
Swissmate

SAME PROBLEM AS THE REST OF YOU WHO HAVE THEIR SPV FREEZED UP VERY OFTEN. IN MY CASE IT'S EVERY 3 OR 4 DAYS, POWER BUTTON AND SOFT REST DOES NOT RESPONDE, SO IT'S EITHER HARD RESET OR SOMETIMES SIMPLY REMOVING THE BATTERY DOES THE WORK. I HAD MY PHONE REPLACED 3 TIMES ALREADY AND STILL THE SAME PROBLEM EVEN WITHOUT INSTALLING ADDITIONAL SOFTWARE BUT WHAT CAME BUNDLE WITH THE ORANGE PHONE. IS THIS A ROM BUG ???
SPV M1000 FRANCE
SD CARD 1 GB
OMEGA ONE BATTERY PACK PRO
OMEGA ONE JOURNAL BAR
SPB GPRS MONITORS.
FORTUNATELY I USE THE X BACKUP PROVIDED WITH THE PHONE TO SAVE MY DATA, BUT IT'S TIME COMSUMMING AND REPETITIVE AS AFTER EACH TIME THE PHONE RESETS ITSELF, I HAVE TO RESTORE IT AGAIN AND AGAIN. :evil: :twisted:
IF SOMEBODY COULD IDENTIFY THE PROBLEM, THIS WOULD HELP A LOT OF PEOPLE LIKE ME
THANKS

There have been frequent reports of this problem- Orange are aware of it, and are replacing M1000's as required. They are currently testing a new ROM, so it appears that they think it may be a ROM problem, though it could also be a batch of faulty hardware.
Another possibility
Turning off the record button seems to have helped, could it be that this is being caught and filling memory / draining batrtery?

Great when working - anyone using a GPS receiver? Tried a TomTom with an XDA 2 lead is not recognised

we got almost 30 of these at our work, it seems the only one to have this problem is... my one! so i swapped it for another one and it did the same problem... hmm, they must not like power users, the other users are idiots so they dont really mess about with the settings n all
anyhooz, ill be upgrading all of em to SE very soon and i doubt that rom will have the same glitch...
who knows... now that we can confirm (99%) that SE works on the xda II maybe the operators will now make an official upgrade to SE... they have no reason not to

Hmm. That is interesting. Only having one here - and having problems - I do not have much to compare.
Do you think the problem comes from changing the standard settings or using extra software then?
By the way the new ROM does not seem to make much difference in terms of this problem, alas!
Exactly the same thing to me...
Every 5 or 6 days... it goes of for no reason, and the only way to wake it up is to hard reset it! weird SPV... maybe some day a nice guy will come up with a solution to our problem! Hopefully...
:shock:
To keep an old thread alive
Those experiencing issues with this device going into coma (requiring Hard Reset to clear)please would you post detailed accounts of when the issue occurs.
Please confirm power settings, what applications were open on the device and whether the radio or BT was on.
Does the problem occur off or on charge, if on does same problem occur if charged from travel charger not dock?
If off charge, if known - state both internal and external battery charge levels when problem occurs?
What is seen on the handset at point of coma?
Working from soft Reset through battery off to hard reset, what was necessary to restore the device and did soft reset or battery off result in a dump?
Could ROM V's and bootloader V's also be stated.
cheers guy's, together we'll crack it
To keep an old Thread Alive
:roll: I have had my phone from about June last year. The first reset occurred about the 3rd Jan this and two more occurring in the past few weeks the last one on sat 12th Feb
The history as I can recall with the last reset is as follows. I took the phone out from work (cradle) Friday afternoon after 4pm don’t think it was put to charge again before the incident also the phone was not used very often as its a work phone. It was on stand by all day Saturday with the green light flashing but no signal input was being received as I was expecting a cal which never came only to find out the phone was off as mentioned by the caller when I called them. Got home about 530pm with the light still flashing and tried to switch the phone on after finding out no signal was received, the light then went out. Could remember this quite distinctly as it happed on the previous occasion. To activate the phone i have to take the battery and sim card out as with the previous occasion put the card in another/different phone to activate it (make a cal) then put the card and battery back in for the phone to work when it would then go through the reset process. Once working on checking, both battery powers were very low think less than 50% as when i checked some time after they were up to 75%
Am in an office with 3 other users and the only one with this problem and am on my 3rd phone since the year started. It seems to be linked with low battery power (both) and extended stand by when it completely shuts down. Trust this would help to get us a stage further.
i have had two m1000's with this problem,
orangecare stepped up for the replacement and i upgraded the 2nd to win2003se and it still does it!
i make scheduled backups now and have learnt to live with it until my contract expires..
on another seperate note..
Remember you have to turn of the IR in settings>connections>beam before a GPS will be recognised.

MORE ON THIS
I had an M1000 that worked fine but a small problem occured and orange replaced it - the new one had this problem every 7 days or so - the bluetooth light was flashing although not switched on and when I try to turn phone on it wont - remove/replace bat and resets - I upgraded to ROM 2.02 from this forum but was using origional orange extended rom and it made no difference - if it is a rom problem its in oranges extended rom
I was on a 166wwe - boot loader 1.06 - dont know radio version but was still happening after DCM 2.02 WM2003SE WWE from this forum with radio 1.18.00 and original ORANGE ext rom so if is on ROM is definatley oranges ext rom that has a problem. - HAS ANYONE HAD THIS HAPPEN WHILE ON CHARGE????
THEY REPLACED MY PHONE WITH A REFURB - ITS NOW FINE BUT IM NOT HAPPY
guys lets think here
were all orange subs so its got to be an orange thing (so unlikley to be hardware) - there are people here (myself included) who have upgraded radio and OS so I am begining to think it is in the extended rom on these machines - has anyone who has replaced extended rom had this trouble - I would experiment but no longer have this fault - I never thought Id wish I could get it back but now I think I can see a resolve
we need an orange customer who does not have this trouble to post extended rom on here for us all to try????? - - - Please ??????
it would be nice to crack this one guys keep plugging on
Had my M100 nearly a year now and after many many resets decided to call Orange as I would have thought this was a known problem with them. But according to technical they have never seen this before!!!
There response was ... backup your data! doh!
I told them I did and it was unacceptable to say this as the thing is faulty it takes over an hour to reload the data and it's happend 4 times since I called them 4 days ago.
:twisted:
PS: has anyone got a copy of the original 1.66 rom as you can no longer get it from Orange.
Hi everyone
My o2 mini speaker dead last week , does not work at all , I installed the image but no diffrence , any suggestion ????
I also had a problem with the speaker. It occured after using the headset. The problem could be solved with plugging the headset again and detaching it with a quick movement (the phone was working cerrectly with the headset plugged). Don't know what is the reason, but sometimes after long use of the headset the problem turns up after unplugging the set. Try this, maybe it helps you too.
hi
i read about it somewhere in the forum.
its just because of a switch inside.
no need to worry about a major problem.
just like what Szilu said, plug it in and out firmly.
hope this helped!
regards
chester
-edit-
oh and its not due to long usage
i suffered this situation too...but O2 Centre can fix it within 1 day...real quick!
it's just because of the very FRAGILE audio jack that is installed in ur MINI. When u unplugged ur headset, the phone "doesn't know u unplugged the jack" so it assumes that it is still plugged in...so no sound will be channeled to the speakers...
try on...put in ur headset again, u will hear everything thru headset but not the speakers.
what u can do is VISIT O2 Customer Centre...small case...dun worry!
Same problem with me too
hi. i'm having the same problem - and - i don't have any JAM service centre near my place....or in the entire state....so i was planning to open it up and see if i can fix it from the inside...

hello..i also can't hear phone calls from main speaker,i've to activate every time hands free speaker.but 1 month ago it worked for 1 day.i can't understand,it seems software problem;and i normally use bluetooth headset,not wired...can somebody help me???..bye
Thanks for saving me a few hundred dollars, hassle, downtime
Wow, what a resource this has been! I came here months ago when I wanted to upgrade my system. Now it just saved me who knows how much in service costs. My speaker stopped working as well and I was sure my device was completely messed up until I checked this forum.
I tried what you suggested and it worked perfectly! I had to plug the headset out twice, I guess the first time I didn't do it fast enough. You really have to give a quick tug.
Thanks for the valuable advice!
P.S. Now I have lost my excuse to upgrade to the imate K-Jam. Oh well, all in good time. :lol:
Put my money where my comment is
I've made a donation to the forum to thank you for this helpful advice.
Ok, so I didn't donate as much as I would have paid a technician but...hey, it's something

Hi everyone,
I have a problem with my XDA Exec, basically, the internal phone speaker doesn't seem to work. External one is fine (the one on the outside of the case) but the one next to the screen does nothing.
It did work when I first bought it. I have since upgraded to the latest o2 rom. However I cannot remember if it stopped working exactly then or later!! Daft I know!
So I just wanted to ask if anyone else had this problem after upgrading the rom (I am using 1.30.107 WWE, radio version 1.09.00), and if so, is there a way to fix it? If there is no one else with this then I guess it is a hardware fault and will return it for repair, but wanted to check.
Cheers
Rick
Anyone? I don't mind if the answer is just "Mine works fine", I just want to know if anyone else has experienced this with the same rom version as mine, before I condemn it and return it to the shop.
I have the same o2 rom as you mentioned, and have encountered no problems. Im sure its a hardware problem, caused by dropping the phone etc, rather than a software one.
o2 offer a free replacement within 1 month if you got it directly from them, or I suppose you could get it repaired from somewhere. Im not sure if the speaker is covered under warranty, but might be worth a shot!
Thanks. I have had it about 4 months now I think, I would bloody hope the speaker is covered by the warranty though, phone ain't much use without it :shock:
By the way, are you sure the incall volume is turned up!!! Just making sure!
If it is, why not try a hard reset just to see if it helps!
Just gone through the same problem.
First of all try to put the jack of the headset inside the hole and twistle it.
If it doesn't solve the problem, I'm afraid you need a replacement.
I had the same problem a week ago. Every speaker worked, except the one next to the display. The problem appeared somehow over night ... I definitely didn't drop the phone or did something "rude" with it.
Unfortunately, I don't have the original headset to exercise this plugin/plugout/twisteling method as mentioned by lautunno, so I tried this with a regular headphone. Without direct success
A hard reset didn't change anything.
... but after a few days of trying almost everything, the speaker started to work again and still works without any interruptions :?
I'm not sure if it's really hardware related because there are so many people with the same problem and almost everyone of them has fixed the problem by just powercycling the phone many times, plugging the headset in and out, fiddling around with the phone app, etc.
As far as I know, the radio firmware is responsible for addressing this speaker (because it's only useable as a phone speaker) and this part of the device firmware doesn't get resetted when you do a hard reset. Maybe it stores some settings (like headphone mode?) in an EEPROM or something like this.
Anyway, good luck and keep trying.
.ox
ps.: I'm also using the O2 firmware (1.30.96 GER) but I've upgraded the radio stack to version 1.11.00.
Recently I posted about my 7501 not having any Bluetooth audio.Two trips to HTC finally got that fixed. Now I have the reverse problem. I only have Bluetooth audio. Nothing from the speakers. This started intermittently at first & now there's nothing. I use Bluetooth a lot & it acts as if it's just not switching the speakers back on after I've used bluetooth. I've tried turning the mute/unmute on & off numerous times as well as doing the same with the bluetooth, plus several soft resets & battery removal & reinstalls, nothing. Any ideas? I really don't want to send it off again for repairs or even do a hard reset if possible......Thanks.
this happened to me like last year. however, i didn't have the previous troubles you had. what happened was my unit was bonded to my headset. a call came through and the next thing you know all the sounds were being streamed to the headset only. after unbonding, deleting the connection, resets, removing the battery, etc....nothing changed. i had to do a hard reset...that worked but after like 3 calls all the sounds would stream back to the headset only. the speakers refused to work.
i don't know if this fix is applicable for you. what rom version are you using? is it the original? what i did was upgraded my rom to aku3. my unit was using the original rom when the problem happened. i was reading a lot on the aku3 rom but was hesitant to upgrade. let's face it, everyone who upgrades is always in danger of bricking their units. but in my case, i had nothing to lose....if upgrading my unit did brick it...then i wouldn't feel as bad given the problems i had regarding the bt / non-working speakers.
thankfully the upgrade proved to be successful and it certainly fixed the issue i had. to date i've had no other problems ever since i upgraded to aku3....which is another reason why i'm now hesitant to upgrade to the 4.0 rom. my unit's functioning in tip-top shape and i don't really see the need for the upgrade.
for you, if your unit is on warranty then i would suggest that you send it back to the shop. if all else fails, then perhaps you may start considering the rom upgrade. a friend of mine had the same issue and he mentioned that the feedback from the shop was that his rom was corrupted. thus, he did the upgrade as well and that fixed the problem.
cheers
In the Universal thread, I've come across that problem of yours. The solution was plugging in a wired headset or headphones, then just unplugged it again. This usually brings back the sound to the speakers. I believe the problem lies in the headphone jack and had to be replaced. I don't know if it is similar to what you are experiencing, but it won't hurt to try.
Good luck.

Hello everyone, well, I will explain my problem, The Wifi in my Titan used to work great, but as it is a little old, it have some hardware problems, actually the answer green button doesn't works, but I have no problem with it, the real problem is that the Wifi switch don't want to work anymore, I now it because after some days after it happened, I open the phone, turn it on, and try the switch, it only worked with a very big preassure, but now, after some days, it's fully dead, I have allready tried using the 10 Buttons Comm Manager, but when I click the Wifi won't work, there appears the dildo-like image in the top of the screen but only about 2 seconds, and then it just go and the Wifi is still of, so I'm asking for your help, what can I do? Thanks in advanced.
Ah, I was forgetting to tell you that here in Mexico there are no service for any HTC because it is not usual to see here one of these excelent phones.
You won't get wifi to work if the switch is broken in the off position. Your only option is to get a new one.
My wifi used to work great until I upgraded the phone to the MR2 update. When it restarted, it would do exactly as yours. I would turn the switch on and it would keep the wireless icon in the top of the screen with no connection to a wireless network. I tried to go back to MR1 update but to no avail. I took the phone to Verizon and they told me the wifi chip must have burned outduring the upgrade and that it was not their problem and would not replace the phone. I had to go through insurance and pay $50 to get another phone.

Same problem here. It seems to be more then just coincidence here. It cannot be that so many people are having the same problem at almost the same time experiencing the same symptoms.
We need to find out what is in common between all of us in order to find the solution.
I have searched in the past, with no luck, for instructions on how to dis-assemble the Mogul. Maybe the hardware switch can be replaced? (assuming you have the stomach for such things)

Disregard wrong post.
Well, finally after some research, without any results, I decided to work my self, so I disasembly the back of my Titan, rid of the useless swtich and build a bridge with a copper wire from the terminals and now it works perfectly!!
Of course the problem is that is it too dangerous and to be honest I don't recommend to do this, but if you try it, you will have to be prepared with a 10 buttons comm manager, because with every reboot, the wifi wil be turned on, I know that this is not a good solution, but here in Mexico there are not service for HTC.
