Hi it s the first time i write here,but i like this forum and i use it since a long time.
I m pretty sure the wake up issue is caused by the quality of the signal during the standby time.So all you have to try to do is to lock your s200 to 2g (gsm) signal,you have to go to settings.Please after this post comment if it work...
Me and my friend live in a village in italy were the vodafone signal it s not so good,many time we have not signal,sometimes umts and sometimes gsm,me and him has the same phones,two product number 027 from november from the italian operator wind that hang up many times a day.The two phones has exactly same problem if we use vodafone,and no problem at all with wind operator (wind here has only a good gsm signal no umts).So i ve tried vodafone with the signal locked to 2g in the two phone and i had no hangs for 5 days (before i had 5 to 10 times a day).I really think the problem is this,even because mine is a 64k card for vodafone and a 64k wind,him is 128k vodafone 64k wind.Mine now has been shipped to acer for the 3th time for this problem cause i need umts,and it will go to acer since i had this problem,in italy it s free to send the phone to assistasnce,so maybe if we send our phone all with the same problem,maybe they will fix it.Now i m waiting because they exchanged mine for a new one with serial xph470n005 and i m crossing my fingers.
So give it a try please and post your comment.Sorry for my english
I forgot to say that i ve tried all the original branded or no branded roms and 2 arto sense versions the last one was the 2.8
No one interested?seems to be a big problem,maybe i give you the solution,and everyone ignore my post
I haven't noticed influence of signal (2G/3G, strength) on this problem. Wake up issue is the internal problem.
I m pretty sure in myne the problem was generated by this,since after turning off 3g i had no more issue. Now new phone from acer,same sim card same signal and it works without hang up even in 3g,so it must be an hardware problem
I think this is problem with the standart WindowsMobile 6.5 locker,if you use another locker like S2U2 or CHT Locker with Cookie's Home tab,this problem dissapears,or may be it could be a solution only for me....You must try this.
It s not my case,i had wake up issue with the standard acer rom and i ve not installed anything and never changed any setting to try if i get problems.I had 5 to 10 wake up issue per day.Now acer sent me back a new one,and i ve tried with the same stock rom without changing any setting for 3 days and i had no issue.So in my case it s a faulty s200 the problem,since nothing have changed from the old one
I'm using S2U2 (slide to unlock) instead of the original screen lock for more than 2 months.
I haven't got a wake up issue since than. You will find to instructions how to install and use the S2U2.

If i can give you an advise,try to install arto sense 3.6 rom...It s fantastic and wor 100 times better than the original one from Acer,then install s2u2.From the first time i ve tested this rom,my s200 experience has been changed
I keep getting sleep of death when I lock the device using the end call button. If I press start - then bottom left software button (Lock), and then power-off the device, I never get the wake-up issue ... its strange. I'm running Arto's Sense 3.5 21911, but I've had the same situation with his Arto's clean 1.1.

my imat jasjar with the latest rom (1.13.53) and latest radio(1.04.02) sometimes freezes 10 times a day, forcing me to soft reset (sometimes 3 or 4 times in a row) before it works again...i have tried everything from upgrading the rom, hardressetting, changing memorycards, leaving the device on instead of automaticly turning of....nothing works..
the worst is when i stop using it and put it on charge during the night, it does not wake up in the morning...i have to softreset everytime and all calls and sms that came in during that time where not received...can anybody relate to this problem, or am i alone in this....i really like the device, but missing my calls and resetting ten times a day, makes me wonder if i should go back to my trusted magician...maybe a rom from another device (o2,mda,qtek) would be a solution ?
any help is welcome
I'd get it replaced as it shouldn't be doing that. I've not had a single hang on my XDA Exec since I got it nearly a month ago.

do you really think it is a hardware problem....i find it more to be a software problem...and i would not like to be without my device for 1,2,3 or even more weeks...anybody know if the qtek 9000 rom is available somewhere...having had a qtek 2020,9090 and s100 and also tried a few mda's and imate's, i find these to be the best roms in general
@jesax, I had a JJ and I used all the features (inc. video calling and UMTS downloads) but only had a freeze with SMS notifications and downloading emails over UMTS. You device could have a hardware problem. The other possibility is the ROM is corrupted so you should try to download a new copy.
mine randomly hangs when using Agile Messenger. Stable the rest of the time.
Planning a hard reset shortly, will see if this fixes it.
in my case a hard reset does not change anything...i have done three and have changed to the latest rom...no dice
does anybody know where i can find the original jasjar rom or a good working english rom to try out or do a downgrade...
i am reaching in the dark here....
@jesax, did you download a fresh ROM from clubimate? Your original ROM could be corrupted

yes, i downloaded the latest rom from the imate site...no go...still the same problems...i first tought it was a charging problem, as it happens every morning when i take it from the charger....i now left the jasjar untouched for a few hours in closed position without the charger, and when i opened it up, it froze again, leading to a softreset.....HEEEEELLLP
@Jesax,
If I were you, I would have falshed the ROM again to my device as I think there is some kind of corruption to your installed ROM.
To get the latest ROM version go to this site :
ftp://ftp.xda-developers.com/Universal/
If it does not open, just go to this site and you can open it from there:
http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=BA_FTP_Site
You can get it also from this site:
http://www.clubimate.com/t-DEVICE_JASJAR_UPD.aspx
But your device must be registered to axcess to this site.
Flash the ROM to your device and try to use it without up-grading the radio version to 1.04.02..... if you experience the same problem so it's definately a hardware problem and in this case you have to give it back, but I think it will work properly "I hope".
If you don't experience the same problem again, it might be either a problem with the radio version or a problem with any of the softwares installed on your device.
By the way, can we know which softwares are installed on your device at the time being??
Please let me know the result.
Regards,
jesax, okay. So you have downloaded the new ROM at least twice now from the clubimate site therefore we can assume the ROM is okay. Also please confirm that you are not using any third-party apps. Are you using a 3G or standard GMS SIM. Try turning off the radio functions (Fn+->) and see if the freezing stops.
Jesax,
Are you using spb pocket plus or any similar software??

thanx, i give it a try but am getting fed up with spending hours behind the computer resetting this thing...
the software i am running are :
resco file explorer
gpspocketmagic
launcher
tomtom 5.1 installed, working but like to freez up also when in use
tweaks2k2
that's about it
i do not use 3g but do use gprs...it was switched to "always on" with the reg hack, but i turned it back (you never know)
i will have a try when i com home this evening to turn of radio function, and charge it overnight (how do i do this, without taking out the sim )
on the wiki ftp site i see there is a 02 xda exec rom i can dowload.
can anyone recommebd this ?
should i give it a try instead of the jasjar rom, and will it install as easily as the jasjar, or will it ask for id's and codes?
thanx guys
@ Jesax,
Before flashing the ROM again to your device just un-install tomtom 5.1 and pocketmajic and see the result "you can use majic button instead" .... if it does the same, you will have no option but flashing.
Don't get fed up...... your problem will be solved, the Jasjar is a wonderful device and you will enjoy it once your problem is solved.
Regards,

I wouldn't advise you to do that.
There is nothing wrong with the jasjar ROM.... and it's the most popular.
Regards,
jesax, as I said in my previous post, you can switch off the radio using the following keys on your JJ "Fn" + "->" and select the All Off option.
Also remove all third-party apps and see if stability improves. If it does add one app at a time back to see which one is causing the stability issue.
The XDA ROM only requires a code for the Coroprate option (code is 0506), the Corporate option is the best to choose at it has no O2 additions.

thanx...i don't think tomtom5.1 is the problem, as i was having this problem before the install of tomtom...pocketmagic i can't remember when i put it on (so many resets, so many....)
i will give it a go
what's annoying is that it does not happen on steady intervals...it can freeze up twice in a minute, and then work fine for ten hours.

would you recommend me trying it, or is the jasjar rom actually better...i don't want to spend another few hours flashing the o2 rom, if it is no use
another question...maybe related...
i have noticed that when i open up my jasjar from fully closed to "laptop" mode, the backlight does not come on everytime...sometimes it does, sometimes i have to push the "on button" to light up...
my backlight is set to go out on batterypower after 30 seconds, and to stay on with external power.
the powersettings are : turn off after 1 minute on battery power and stay on with external power
@ jesax,
Most probably your ROM is corrupted.... in this case a hard reset will not work, but a fresh flashing to the ROM will be the best solution.

Hello all,
last week I got my new HTC Magician, here in Austria so called "T-Mobile MDA Compact". Unfortunately I have the problem, that my device freezes from time to time (at least 1 time a day). This happens most of the time when using the T-Mobile IntelliDialer, but sometimes it happens even when I do not use the device at all.
When the problem occurs, I am not able to make or receive a call, the upper status LED is gone as well (no signal, no blinking).
When I got the device I had ROM 1.13 installed, but after I heard that maybe this could cause the problems, I installed version 1.12 from T-Mobile site, but still have the same problems.
Now I am really out of ideas, don't know what to do. It seems I am not the only one with this problem, so I am afraid it hase no sense to switch the device with a new one @ a T-Mobile shop. Or do you guys have a "good", normal running Magician w/o this bug?
Thanks in advance for your help!
Greetings, Matthias
Helle again,
As you've got the same problems on rom 1.12 & 1.13 and you got it just for a week I'd say go back and get another one. There are people with simular issues and I guess there are much more users without it, like myself.
So my advice use your warrenty, make a backup of your contacts etc. first with sprite (trial version is available) or AS or whatever, saves you a lot of times. I won't restore the apps just reinstall, maybe it is some combination of a faulty program & with a backup you get that back as well. And it gives you the chance to determine, if possible, what's causing the freeze.
Good luck, M
ok, then thanks again
Today I made a ROM update @ T-Mobile. If that did not the trick (I will look for errors the next days), then I will use my warranty and change the device itself. I hope they don't send it to technical support somewhere, but give me another one instead...
Greetings and thanks for your infos, Matthias

Hi,
I have been using my Magician for almost 8-9 months .. moving from ROM version 1.11 to 1.13 WWE BigStorage (radio 1.11 to 1.13 as well).Recently (last 1mth or so) I start to notice that I have a strange problem similiar to you, my 'radio' would 'hang' where I cannot receive or make calls, can't even receive or send SMS. However, my signal (the top bar signal strengh) will still work. This is really fustrating .. because the PDA still works, I won't know when my Magician 'hangs' ... (at least until I try to send SMS or make a call).
I've downgraded to Radio 1.11 & ROM 1.11 ... I'm still facing this problem, but not as often (sometime once in 2 days). The strange thing is that my wife who is using a Magician as well, is facing the same problem (symptom arrise almost the same time together). Both our phone used to be fine.
So far, no luck trying to locate the source of the problem, and I don't think both our magician's hardware got screwed at the same time ... I have a feeling, it has something to do with GPRS ... gut feel ... but cannot confirm.
Anyone face this problem and managed to solve it, I would appreciate any pointers ... Many thanks!
Note : I don't install additional ROM software such as CallerID, etc ... I only use intellidialer.
Hello, you could be right with your GPRS feeling, I have it as well...
Is the LED of your device blinking, when you have one of these freezes?
Hi guys,
Don't know if this gets you on the right track, but a few months ago I had major memory problems with my magician. Thought it was a virus, probably was one or two today plug-ins that consumed all of my memory very rapidly. Think of plug-ins like OO journalbar. Didn't look at the led blinking I just soft-reseted to solved the prob. for a few minutes. Very inconvenience when you're navigating in a car.
Since I ditched these plug-ins eveything is fine, tried them afterwards of course & noticed the memory leaks.
When you're not using anything like those apps. it must be something else. Maybe there's something on the forum.
Cheers, M
I thought about some apps or plugins as problem source too, so I refreshed my device without installing any additional app to it -- no success. So I still have these hangups, even if I have no tool installed...
Sounds like really s..tty problem.
Does the use of gprs or phone functionalities make any difference? what happens when you skip the ext-rom installation (hard-reset & soft-reset just before the customization kicks in) & go for basic WM2003, without all the TMO apps&branding?
M
... tried this allready, but without any difference, device freezes serveral times a day. I would say it's a hardware fault, can't think of another problem source.
Yesterday I spoke with a T-Mobile tech @ T-Mobile support. He told me, he is not aware of this problem and he always had "good" devices. And he updated my ROM to latest version...
Since I still have the problem, I will change my device now and see if this makes any difference!
haimat,
I think exchanging your magician is the best option, the techi might be right in saying he only encountered good ones. Haven't found much error reports like yours, so the rest must be good (look at the bright side). Hope you can trade it directly without any hassle & enjoy your magician for the rest of it's lifetime.
Found some people with a universal with simular probs. didn't read all posts though there were so many. So can't tell you how it ended, it's about a JasJas that hangs and hangs and ...
In the meantime good luck with the change of your device.
Cheers, M
Has anyone had this???
My MDA Vario restarts on it self on a regular basis...then it asks for my password n den pin....
is this due to the fact that its been dropped twice??
or is it because i play mp3s on a regular basis?
Are you overclocking it? I was getting that as well but I reduced the speed to 240MHz from 264MHz and it hasn't happened since.
nope
Could also be the ROM Version you are using. I had constant reboots ( 3-5 times a day ) with the original T-Mobile ROM - now that I am using the QTEK 2.18 all is fine - no more reboots.
hmmm im using the original t mobile rom.....i seriously didnt want to blank my rom and flash a new version cos i aint done it before
Well known issue with the TMO Ship ROM I'm afraid. I'm stuck with it (and the reboots) as I need BB Connect but if you don't need BB then I'd recommend the latest QTEK, it's excellent and stable
JoninLA, thanks for that info mate, but whats BB?
also can you direct me to the latest rom, and a few simple instructions...
if the process is long then i wont do it. ive got a ton of coursework to get done...so messing about with fone makes me life a bit more stressful
BB (Blackberry).
Latest QTEK ROM is at ftp://ftp.xda-developers.com/Wizard/Roms/Qtek/ and I was using the 186504-ruu_9100_2170702_21707102_20710_qtek_wwe_ship.exe which was very stable
Guys... I have the same problem with resets. However, this only happens when i have the bluetooth on. Anyone heard of any glitch with the bluetooth patch?
Well I haven't tried having the bluetooth off so you may be right - kind of sucks to say you can't use the SD in all the time or you have to turn the bluetooth off. Basically, this is an issue with the AKU1 and never had any problems with the AKU2 QTEK ROM so if anyone in this post chain doesn't need Blackberry connect I'd just recommend upgrading to a decent ROM
We're wondering if this problem, along with the MDA Vario ROM, might be SD-card related? See thread at http://forum.xda-developers.com/viewtopic.php?t=33537

andrewilley, hi mate....now that you mention it...restarts only kicked off when i got my 1GB mini sd!! never happend before :shock:

What's on your SD card at the moment, is there anything that would prevent you from doing what I'm doing and taking it out for a few days for testing purposes?
It would also be worthwhile downloading B_Uptime, a neat little utility that logs all reboots so you'll know how long your device has been running and when any unexpected reboots have occured. See the thread at: http://forum.xda-developers.com/viewtopic.php?t=45168
Andre
Well that's a full week with not a single unexpected reboot. When I had the SD card in place I was getting several reboots a day. I've got to put the card back in now as I need TomTom, so I guess the reboots will come back and really prove the point if there's any doubt left.
Has anyone else tried this test to see if their reboots go away without an SD card in place?
Hopefully it'll be fully cured with a newer ROM, anyway. I'm waiting to see what the new T-Mobile UK one is like before venturing into that area though.
Andre
andrewilley, mate ive done a hard reset..and also deleted a film of my mini SD card..since then there has not been any random reboots
First post so be gentle.
New to my MDA Vario with a 2 Gig card.
Random reboots have caused me to search for answers.
This link may have some answers.... http://www.aximsite.com/boards/showthread.php?t=112638
I have tried the fix and will see what happens.
thanks for the info-i tried that activesync fix but still had 2 futher reboots today :x
Have called tmob, im waiting for them to call me back now :arrow:
a bit of googling and i found it seems the problem is quite common-
http://www.modaco.com/index.php?showtopic=235270&st=0
i noticed, today the rebooting has been really frequent and its the first time in ages i actually got sined into msn messenger-(albeit for 15 minutes before "unexpected error":roll: ) just wondering if maybe the 2 things are connected in any way?
also havent activesynced for a couple of days
seems theres a new tmob uk rom out very soon-hope tis fixes this very annoying problem
dmonik, Good find mate, I noticed that mine restarts when ive put a large film on the Mini SD Card

I've tried the Activesync fake server trick from that thread, seems to help in some ways. But, I've found that if you cold boot or soft-reset, then the AS schedule returns to how it was before the change, so you have to do it again.
Hey guys I just had an issue with my new phone. When I go to answer a call, I would say it has about a 50% chance of getting hung up. The phone will ring and when I slide to answer, it just stays on that screen for around 10 seconds. If I pick up early enough, the call will still come through after it waits. Most of the time it just stays silent until it notifies me of missing the call. It does this whether I use the hard key to answer or the slide function. I hve tried several roms and this problem keeps happening. i have tried Dutty's R6, Tess Pride III and IV, Cheetah 2.2, Official HTC ROM, and even the stock At&t rom. It does it regardless of what ring I have selected as well. If i have a short mp3 it does it and stock ringtones and even vibrate and silent.
The interesting thing is that this is my second htc pure. The first one had a badly scratched screen due to the crappy screen protector that att sold me. The first phone also had this same issue. I was wondering if you guys had a solution to this. I don't know if it is a network problem or a phone problem. I have tried using S2U2 because I thought that maybe it was because of the actual slide to answer function but that did not work.
I am currently using the EnergyROM "Phoenix 2" manilla 2.1 WWE 21889 with radio
4.49.25.17
I am really leaning towards it being a problem with the at&t network. I have had problems in the past with them because it did something similar with my old phone.
Any help would be awesome. I appreciate everything you guys do on this forum.

works fine on the stock rom i am useing ... dont know what to say .
I am still looking for the solution. I am gonna try my Sim in a couple other phones tonight and see if it is just my number.
I figured out what the problem was. I selected the standard windows mobile phone skin instead of the Leo canvas that everyone loves to cook into the roms. I think that the phone was having a hard time loading this canvas after loading my ringtone and showing the slide to answer screen. I have not had any problems ever since I switched canvases.
Been having some problems with my HD2 as of late. If this is the wrong forum to post, please point me elsewhere.
Purchased original one via Mobicity - turned out it was a HK version. I dropped it and smashed the screen, so got a replacement one (purchased thru Mobicity again) under my insurance.
Not sure the origins of the second fone though. When it arrived, it was in Italian. Had to send it back to M/City to reflash it with (what I believe to be ) a WWE version.
Details on startup screen:
R 2.00.51.07
G 15.30.50.07U
D 1.66.76641
Have left the phone as-is after it was reflashed with an English ROM and returned to me. Has worked perfectly for about 8 months. Recent issues only occurring last 2 months or so.
Issues having lately:
* Randomly reboots itself - completely randomly. Sometimes, while not even touching the phone, sometimes while typing a text or browsing the net.
* Battery usage lately has been horrendous. Hard to pin an exact figure on it, but it's MUCH MUCH worse than usual, over the last 2 months.
* CONSTANTLY dropping signal & Data connection. I can watch the data/signal symbols switch from nothing, to G, to 3G, to H, and back again within the space of seconds. On occasions, when the data-conn drops out (but fone signal remains), I go into connection settings and find the Data Settings slider is switched off! I must manually go and turn it on again... which sometimes works, and sometimes fails to stay on.
I HAVE manually gone into the settings and told it to update to the latest data settings from my provider (Optus) and it always responds that I already have the latest settings.
Often, the only way to get data connection back is to manually reboot the whole fone.
Sometimes, while browsing a simple website on the fone, it will drop connection. I live in Brisbane. Optus advises Brisbane has absolute FULL coverage, until you start going outskirts. I can be in the city centre gardens (no big buildings to block signals) and still not achieve full "H" or even "3G" speeds... most times only achieving simple "G" speeds.
This is obviously not right I HAVE contacted Optus about this, and they suggest it is an issue with the phone, as they insist they have full coverage brisbane-wide.
I have also noticed, in the last 2-weeks or so, that Cookies Home Tab is not working correctly all the time.
On occasions - but not ALL the time - on my home-page CHT displays appointments that are already passed days or even weeks ago.
Sometimes, when adding a new appointment (either manually in the fone, or via the MyPhone website and synching), it will not display at all in CHT.
I know there is a new version of CHT, but some of the technical info on the website sounds like there can be issues with not correctly un- or re- installing it.
I've still got a couple of months left for my manufacturer warranty.... I'm not keen on reflashing with un-official ROMS until after that period has elapsed... then i'm keen to go for it. If that is my only option, then I will consider, but would prefer a "genuine" fix first.
Can anyone please offer some suggestions, hints, experiences ? I haven't been on the forums for months, and now the HD2 thread is some 10-episodes of 30+ pages, so I have no hope in hell of reading thru all that hoping to find an answer.
Suggestions please for possible reasons, or fixes, or a different WWE English ROM to flash to ?
Note also: My serial number does not appear to be Asian in origin. I have tried to d/l the Asia Pacific, the Worldwide, and the HK latest ROMS... but it fails upon serial number. I have not tried, but I assume my fone is Italian model, hence any ROM that I flash must be d/loadable from another source, not the HTC website.
Please also note: I'm not - at this point - interested in running Android, so (without wanting to sound ungrateful) if any help could avoid suggestions of that nature please.
Thanx in advance for any assistance.

Been having some problems with my HD2 as of late. If this is the wrong forum to post, please point me elsewhere.
Purchased original one via Mobicity - turned out it was a HK version. I dropped it and smashed the screen, so got a replacement one (purchased thru Mobicity again) under my insurance.
Not sure the origins of the second fone though. When it arrived, it was in Italian. Had to send it back to M/City to reflash it with (what I believe to be ) a WWE version.
Details on startup screen:
R 2.00.51.07
G 15.30.50.07U
D 1.66.76641
Have left the phone as-is after it was reflashed with an English ROM and returned to me. Has worked perfectly for about 8 months. Recent issues only occurring last 2 months or so.
Issues having lately:
* Randomly reboots itself - completely randomly. Sometimes, while not even touching the phone, sometimes while typing a text or browsing the net.
* Battery usage lately has been horrendous. Hard to pin an exact figure on it, but it's MUCH MUCH worse than usual, over the last 2 months.
* CONSTANTLY dropping signal & Data connection. I can watch the data/signal symbols switch from nothing, to G, to 3G, to H, and back again within the space of seconds. On occasions, when the data-conn drops out (but fone signal remains), I go into connection settings and find the Data Settings slider is switched off! I must manually go and turn it on again... which sometimes works, and sometimes fails to stay on.
I HAVE manually gone into the settings and told it to update to the latest data settings from my provider (Optus) and it always responds that I already have the latest settings.
Often, the only way to get data connection back is to manually reboot the whole fone.
Sometimes, while browsing a simple website on the fone, it will drop connection. I live in Brisbane. Optus advises Brisbane has absolute FULL coverage, until you start going outskirts. I can be in the city centre gardens (no big buildings to block signals) and still not achieve full "H" or even "3G" speeds... most times only achieving simple "G" speeds.
This is obviously not right I HAVE contacted Optus about this, and they suggest it is an issue with the phone, as they insist they have full coverage brisbane-wide.
I have also noticed, in the last 2-weeks or so, that Cookies Home Tab is not working correctly all the time.
On occasions - but not ALL the time - on my home-page CHT displays appointments that are already passed days or even weeks ago.
Sometimes, when adding a new appointment (either manually in the fone, or via the MyPhone website and synching), it will not display at all in CHT.
I know there is a new version of CHT, but some of the technical info on the website sounds like there can be issues with not correctly un- or re- installing it.

Hi, I to have an HD2 in Oz from Mobicity - though never got an Italian version. To be honest, the only time I had an issues like those you are talking about was when I flashed new roms WITHOUT 'Task 29' first. Look it up. It kind of "cleans up" your phone inbetween cooked roms. But as you have only had Official roms on your phone, this might not be the issue.
To be honest, I don't think you Task 29 anyway until you put HSPL on your phone (this allows you to put cooked Roms on), but as soon as you do this, you void your warranty. Now you can take HSPL off before you send it back, but if your phone was to die BEFORE you took it off and then you sent it back, you'd be ****ed if they managed to power it up.
As you're under warranty, I'd send it back to be fixed and explain the fact that they had another rom on when you first got it.
Ra-ey
ps. You may want to quickly check online to make sure you are running the most uptodate Rom for your phone on the HTC website.
Hi,
Did u try hard-reseting your phone by pressing the volume up and down and the power button at the same time. Usually fixes many issues relating to yours. It might have been caused by a programs problem which corrupted main system files.

Thanx guys for responses.

Not yet, no..... will go through that process tonight. Was just worried that hard-setting it MAY end up back with the Italian settings (on the off-chance it still has an Italian ROM, but has just been set to display in English) ???
Can anyone identify the ROM details in my original post, as being WWE (I assume this means World Wide English?)
I cannot find anywhere that lists if those numbers mean WWE or English ?
Further to this... i just found this thread here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=791436
This is almost exactly what my phone is doing too, so I suspect it may be the same cause.
One thing I forgot to mention in my original post here, is that sometimes, after the fone reboots itself, it fails to boot up again and all the handset buttons fail to respond. The little red reset button does not work either.
Doesn't happen EVERY time, but occasionally, the only way to resurrect the phone is to remove the battery for 30 mins or so, then reinstall and try again.
Obviously a very real issue - and it seems a known one - perhaps time to return for warranty fix or replacement.
Thanx all for responses in this thread - I will monitor the other thread now for further news.
when you hard-reset it reverts it back to the last rom you had, if it was WWE then it would reload that.
Remember when someone load's another rom on your phone it complete (kinda) erases the old rom and replaces it so there would be nothing that would revert it to the italy ROM.
R 2.00.51.07 (Radio Version)
G 15.30.50.07U (Protocol version)
D 1.66.76641 (ROM Version) could be anything
Usually the Italy ROM only has one language in the rom so my guess would be it has the WWE, by looking at the numbers above no-one would be able to tell you what you what rom it is.
Hope this helps

Thankyou mate.... that makes it a lot clearer
Will try the hard-reset method tonite and-reinstall only the apps (if it ok to use that term, for WM programs !!!) that I need.
Have also been given a link to the latest WWE ROM to flash, from Mobicity, so will hard-reset, to clear any crap, then re-flash with the new ROM.
Just curious... I know I should remove the memory card when resetting/reflashing (i'm not doing dual-boot with Android), but should I also remove the SIM card too? Eg: Get the background system installed and running, then power-off, insert SIM, power-on to get the network specifics up and running ???
My Guess
I have a Telstra HD2, running the latest Telstra ROM and CHT 1.8.5. The phone reboots regularly of its own accord. Seems to be related to overheating as the base of the phone is quite hot when it reboots. If the phone get really hot, it will not re-start (stays at white screen). Have had to put the phone in the fridge to get it to work.
I don't know if this is related but I have a cradle that I use to connect my HD2 to my work PC. If the HD2 is running SenseUI, after the HD2 was been in the cradle for a while, the HD2 re-starts. This does not happen if I disable SenseUI. It seems that the restart only occurs after the battery reaches 100%.
The restarting occurs with CHT 2.0 beta as well.
When I get a chance, I'll do a hard reset and see if that fixes the problem.
Cheers
Hmmmm....... seems to be a recurring issue with some of the "newer" phones. My original phone - before I dropped it and smashed the screen - never had any of the issues I'm currently experiencing
I've read somewhere on here that the rebooting issue is suspected to be from early-production snapdragon processors..... which SHOULD be an immediate warranty claim, in my opinion.
I will try the hard-reset, and then a fresh Official ROM install, to see if it solves it.
