[Q] Artemis problem - P3300, MDA Compact III upgrading etc.

Well, I just got a htc p3300 from my aunt, as it wasn't really working.The problem is the front bezel buttons are not working, nor getting lit up.Secondly, even the sim card fails to get detected.I really don't know what to do, as im much more into symbian and this is my first win mo. Will reinstalling the os help? I am not even able to hard reset it as the front buttons don't work, please suggest a solution.
Thank you

P3600 buttons not working anymore

Hi!
Since yesterday my ok, windows, on and off hook and -- buttons aren't working anymore. The button in the middle and the cursor are still ok. Any ideas?
Due to the fact that the "--" (left and right) are not working I can't even do a hard reset.

Hi, I dont know what happened to your buddy, have you recently installed third party software? Anyway you can do an hard reset via the control panel under setting|system|
Hope this helps

Hi all,
OK I did a hard reset but it didn't work. Still no go :-(
The black coating is also peeling off. What a nice device.
mine just packed up too
more and more bugs are showing up every day passes... I somehow knew It would happen.. I don't think I'll take the risk of buying a p3600 through import without warranty after reading all these problems..
Good luck man
Trinity working well ..

While I dare not say my Trinity will be problem free, so far it has served me well. Everything is working as it should and the internal GPS has been enabled without a single problem. I'm on the test ROM (AKU3.3) and so far the performance is much better than my old Dopod 838 Pro (Hermes).
So far I have been very impressed with HTC built devices. A friend of mine's Dopod 838pro (Hermes) went into the pool accidentally, and it refuse to boot. After 3 days of intensive 'drying' it finally came back to life and it is working problem free until now.

Hehe, good to hear that....
I'm personally considering the hermes (TYTN) myself, because it's available here with warranty.. I hope the new ROM with AKU3.3 will improve it..

My personal advise to you would be to test the 3G call on that device before you buy it. The only advantage the Tytn has over Trinity is:
1) Flash light & Macro Picture
2) Keyboard
3) Additional hard button (Messaging, IE, 3G call)

The main reason I'm considering it is that i can buy it from here in israel with warranty, I don't wanna risk buying the trinity abroad.
I don't really care about 3G calls, I never use it, but 3G internet speeds aren't bad
the keyboard seems a big advantage over the trinity. The main advantage of the trinity is the small and pocket form factor, but unfortunately I can have it only by importing it

No. It's @ HTC since 2 weeks

ok cheers, if it's any help they have repaired mine twice for this issue. Originally it went in for the peeling paint, but while they had it the buttons failed the test so were replaced. Then when they bodged the repair and it went back again, again the buttons failed the test and they replaced again.
Then when I get the phone back...the buttons don't work! Incidently before they started repairing the phone I never had a problem with the buttons
Hi!
I know that this thread is quite old but I prefer to post in this thread rather than opening a new one (sorry if I am not doing well but I am new at the community )
Yesterday I was working on a P3600 and suddenly all buttons stop working. The irDA also did not work. I have left the phone all the night without the battery (I really don't know what I was trying to achieve ), and this morning the buttons (and the irDa) did not work yet. Now, after a hard reset, it seems that all is working as it should.
My questions are, why after a hard reset? (it seems to point out a software issue); is this problem related to the touch screen problem I've been reading about in the forum? (perhaps the cause is the same); and finally, is it likely to appear again?
Thanks in advance
ROM version: 1.15.412.2 10/23/06 (original one)
Radio version: 1.20.00.11
ExtROM version: 1.15.412.101
My D-pad select, down, right and OK have been getting steadily worse requiring more pressure to use. Mine isn't software related. Just sent it back today asking for the black peeling issue to be repaired as well.
I held out as long as I could hoping that any issues had been resolved by HTC. I'll post when I get it back.

did u get it back? my keys also stopped working..windows + ok + up key.
should i contact htc or e-tailer?
You will probably have to get return authorization through your retailer.
It's been about 2-1/2 weeks and no word from HTC. I emailed them today. I will be sure to post when I get it back regarding GPS Rom and peeling.
Just got it back - all pretty again. They replaced the bezel and switch board. Still has old rom but I am happy.

I've had the exact same thing happen twice now. Everything is going along fine and then suddenly all the keys stop working until I do a hard reset. The touch screen keeps going as normal. I haven't tested the IRDA but it appears that USB and active sync don't want to go either. A hard reset solves the problem but then I have to reinstall things which is annoying.
There must be other people out there with this problem. Has anyone come up with a solution?
I don't think, that there will be a fix...seems like a hardware problem to me.
I have nearly the same....the red and the green call buttons don't work properly!
For me they work immediately after a soft reset and then stop again within about 30 seconds. Hardware or software? it would appear to be software but I had the same issue using the official T-Mobile WM5 and still umder Black Satin WM6.....
think I'll flash back to official ROM and take it into the shop tomorrow!

ATT 8525 Camera Issue

I bought an ATT 8525 a month ago. Suddenly the camera stopped working.
I got the message "Unable to initialize camera. Failed to set up the device".
I looked for this in the web and could not find much help... seems that Cingular may exchange the unit as solution...
Some said it may be a problem with the SD card (2gb from sandisk).
I tried soft reset, hard reset, re-installing ROM (the one from cingular USA) and nothing seemed to work.
I almost gave up when I found this
I followed the steps and not only got the camera to work but I got a very fast , stable and spanish!! version of windows mobile 6. And with a lot of available memory !
Thanks so much to Schap !
hope this would be useful for those having the camera issue!
fabian
ROM Version: Schap's 3.30c
ROM Date: 05/15/07
Radio: 1.41.00.10
Protocol: 32.74.7020.18H
False alarm.
The camera worked for an hour or two... then I started getting the same error.
I did not install anything during that time or change any configuration...
I guess it must be a hardware problem...
any ideas?
Good news!!... (again)
I just downloadedthis cab that says it corrects SC bad management.
After installing the cab... turning off/on the phone... the camera works!!
(I don't know for how long it will work... but at least it is alive! )
Good luck and please share your experience with this cab !!
fabian
doesnt matter since our cameras suck anyways
Im just mad cause I parted with my K800i lol
F****'n camera!
I was trying almost everything.... It's still not working at all. Camera just stoped working..soft reset..nothing...hard reset...nothing...I did what Fabian is writing in his posts...nothing...one thing has changed, phone found camera and I have icon of camera in Programs menu, but it still don't work. It don't give me any error raports or something, when I tap on the camera icon it's just don't do nothing so....mayby I should go to church and pray for a miracle because I don't have any other options.
Someone knows any program to find problem? To diagnose or something...
I am sure that problem is in software. I didn't drop phone or damaged him...
I have Sandisk mSD, mayby that is the source of the problem?
Hi,
I know it sounds weird, but I got the camera to work for 2 or 3 days by removing the battery for 5 minutes.
I really don't know which is the trigger that makes the camera stop working, but it seems that removing the battery "cleans" or releases something somewhere.
It's really annoying but at least I found a systematic way to make the camera return to life everytime it dies...
Try this... maybe works for you too...
fabian
...zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz...
Yo Fabian
That thing with taking off battery don't work on my 8525.
I was trying few combinations of that solution (without mSD cart, with cart in the phone). Life is hard. Nothing helps.
I just looking for software that can tell me what is wrong, but i can't find nothing. Something to check my hardware or something...
Mayby you have any idea how to get any info what to f*** is going on?
NeOrB
Hi
I really tried everything I could...
I've been looking for that tool you mention ... no luck..
Could not find a windows mobile event viewer neither...
I'm thinking on messing around with the c# sdk to debug the camera application ...
I can tell you now after a few days that removing the battery does not always work
My advise... if you're one of those lucky guys that can claim for the warranty... go for it and replace this f... phone!
fabian
Hi Fabian!
I don't have warranty for my phone, I bought it on eBay in USA, I had 7 days to turn it back if there were something wrong with that....camera stoped working after 9 days. Worst thing is that now I am in Poland and I even can't find any place where someone could repair that phone for me.
Thanks for wasting your time for me!
I'll not surrender and I will try to find solution!
Someone must know what to f**** is going on!
Few guys telling that problem could be with Sandisk mSD. And that could be true, because I remember that after I bought that card camera stoped working.
When I will have some more time I will hard reset PDA or something with taking off mSD from PDA before doing that. Mayby that is the solution. We will see...
Thanks one more time Fabian
C U at the next post!

Upgrade

Hi all,
I just bought a new HTC Cruise or T4242 china model, and the guy who sell this to me told me that the phone has touchflo 3d and i assumed that all the applications that an original HTC would have.
Anyway, it has wm6.1 i tried to use the gps and simply the software does not run, i tried to install the footprints but aparently i supposed to upgrade the rom or something like that... I AM COMPLETELY NEW at this.
What i want is to have this phone working as an original or better, with all the htc software like gps, footprint, the touchflo 3d or whatever works, and take all advantage possible of having this device.
COULD ANYBODY PLEASE HELP ME TO FIND THE RIGHT ROM, SPECIFIC INSTRUCTIONS ABOUT HOW TO INSTALL IT (I dont have the knowledge, but i learn fast), AND ALL THE SOFTWARE RELATED...
Thanks in advance, i hope someone can really help me!!!
there is no rom upgrade available (yet), at least not from HTC.
something tells me that something went wrong during installation, because all of it should work.
only one thing: don't overestimate touchflo. it is not 3D i.m.o., maybe 2D....
mikekarim: Try to perform hard reset. Device will go into factory setting and everything must work then.
HTC T4242+ (I need support)
Hi All,
I also have bought an HTC T4242+ via the internet from China, and when I received the phone I found WM6.1 loaded in the phone and I have a problem with it as my voice is breaking or not hearable when I do a phone call!!! I asked many people and they told that I have to upgrade the ROM but infact, I found that there is no Boot Loader in the phone and did not know how to do that, I contacted my supplier who sent me a .rar file and he told me to open it to be UPR file and load it on the TFT card by a TFT card reader, then to press three buttons together, the power, Middle and green buttons until I see bar showing upgrading, then to restart the phone!!! I did all that many times but nothing happend, the bar showed no progress at all!!!! anybody can help to instruct me to how to upgrade the ROM..................??????????? I will appreciate your help guys
I'm afaraid that's one of the negative sides of the fake touch cruise, my friend... I had such fake iolite, I had to sell it because of this issue, and to buy the original.
Hi there, to format the tft card to fat, not fat 16, not fat 32
and try it out.
I hope it works.

universal going crazy on me! keeps dialling and doing weird things!

Hi, recently my SPV M5000 has been really acting weird. it was fine using WM5 official rom, then i upgraded it to luca's wm6.1 rom, and it was still fine. then a month or two later it started behaving weird. in apps such as word, typing on the keyboard brings up the phone app, and when left alone it suddenly starts dialling numbers (the last number dialled)
i flashed it to tomal's 6.1 rom, and its still doing the same thing!! i'm at my wits end right now. could it be the bootloader or something? im using v2.06. i cant remember if i upgraded to it or if my device came with it.
thanks in advance
Try Doc format and reflash ROM
thanks for the reply, i just tried it but it dosent work
after checking it out some more, i realised most of the keys work fine, however its the h,n,j and u keys that are causing it to launch the phone app. Im not sure why it keeps trying to dial the last dialled number all by itself. i have to cancel it maybe 10 times before it stops trying.
the green "call" button on the spine of the phone also dosent work
could this be a hardware issue?
If if you tried the doc format and flashed other roms and the issue is still there it might be hardware problem...
and one thing just after flashing to new rom don't back up anything and see if the problem is still there.. if no then this bight be due to some applications in backup....
cheers
Rajiv...
sounds like hardware. you may have a sticky key. I'd take it to bits, give it a good clean and make sure the connectors are firmly pressed in - as concerns the spine keys and keyboard.
no, its not a sticky key. i guess its a loose/frayed connector
i'm reluctant to disassemble because of the form factor. guess i'll have to mothball it until i can get it repaired. i dont use it much anymore anyway, have since upgraded to a HD, but my girlfriend was using it as a mini laptop for word and skype when she didnt want to lug her laptop to college.
thanks anyway for the help
Is the screen intact? Is it clean around the edges? Did she spill coffee (cola?any drink?) on it? Is there any dirt around the screen where it meets the frame? Has it got a new screen protector installed recently?
Sounds like your hinge PCB got wet and is shorting.
