Hi, this is the first time ive submitted a post. Been to the site loads and love it. Ive seen many people have had help to sort out their problems and im hoping one of you cool people could help me...
Last night after reading all about W2003 i thought id upgrade. i did it via the siemens web site and bootloader. it went on fine but i couldnt get gprs, so i tried another version from http://xda.weblink.net/ and i also installed the latest radio stack(from o2). this all worked fine for about 30 mins then while putting old stuff back on the xda it crashed. it re booted and i havent had the phone back since. i went back to the trust xda devoloper 1.2 but it hasnt solved it. and it actually took away the activesync connection and i can get it connected back. it tries but fails at the last.
ive tested from the boot loader and says everything is fine, including gsm(but usb/activesync isnt)
ARGH
Please can any one help me get my beloved phone back into action?
Hey guys,
Before my phone locks up on the splash screen, the OS (Windows Mobile 6) began to run very very very sluggish, the battery was full this morning until when I switched it on (and has not been used since) went to 30% in just about 4 hours, only bluetooth was on and no wifi nor GPS.
I then performed a soft reset to clear up some memory and to stop what ever is being used in the background, to find that after waiting for 30 minutes and only getting the Windows Mobile screen for that long shows that there was a problem.
I NEED HELP NOW! I HAVE A LOT OF INFORMATION ON MY PHONE AND IT HASN'T BEEN BACKED UP, how do I retrieve my SMS/Emails and etc. so that I can perform a hard-reset.
I've just called HTC's tech centre which is Teleplan.
They stated that I should take out the battery and leave it for say 2 hours or more, I think this was to drain the internal battery not the actually battery.
Not sure what the outcome of this may be, but I will keep you posted.

Do you have an update to this. I faced a similar problem with my WM5 device yesterday and am snce unable to load it successfully. It just remains on the windows mobile screen - Indefinately.
Please share the outcome of removing the external battery. I do not want to hard reset either since don't have my sms / mails backed up.
Thanks,
Umesh.

Sorry mate, I don't, I think I was too anxious that I installed the battery in too early, I may just leave the darn thing overnight.
I too didn't back up all my SMS's and MMS's, I have this one SMS that I sent on the exact time and date when my nephew was born! I would be stoked to find I have to hard reset my device!
Not to mention the pain in reinstalling everything!
I will update everyone tomorrow morning.
Sorry guys!

I've had this problem aswell, and the only solve I found was to hard reset it. However after that time everytime I did a soft reset I had the same problem..
Untill I reflashed my device.
Hey guys,
Nope didn't work for me! left it for say 4 hours and put the battery back and still the same issue, I since then farewelled my sms's and mms's :'( and hard reseted it.
I think I will just reflash it, and I would guess that yes it may be a rom image issue then, but why now? why not i think 2 months ago when I flashed my rom to windows mobile 6? why did it happen 2 months after?
And also, from what I know about not giving any charge to your device for a certain amount of period, this will cause the device to perform a hard reset as it would not have enough power to maintain the data on the flash storage, correct me if I am wrong though.
Sorry guys, I AM FULLY STOKED! A WORD OF ADVISE GUYS! BACK UP DAILY WITH WHAT EVERY PROGRAM YOU USE!
hi im new to android phones but i got 2 htc heroes, 1 for me and 1 for my gf, i rooted and installed fresh rom 1.0 on my phone no problems at all. my gf decided to keep hers stock.i had installed fresh rom and rooted my phone because i was having 100% awake problem, i tried everything i could read on the forums but nothing has helped. its not really that big of a deal considering im getting what i consider excellent battery life for my phone.
but my gf's phone has now started having a problem that i cannot fix, her vibrate on her phone just stopped working completely, i checked the settings and everything is enabled and everything looks good, so i did a hard reset which didnt fix the issue, then i restored it with a back up.
i figured at this time the best thing to do is go to sprint and swap them both out, im loving the phone, and the freedom to customize it, i just hate the 100% awake problem, and the no vibrate is a big deal as it vibrate with calls,texts, or keyboard feedback.
if you guys have any input on what it might be that would be great, but all these phones started having problems when they were stock and not rooted, with minimal apps downloaded.
Thanks in advance
Jon
When the phone is powered off and you very first power it on, it should vibrate right away. That is hard coded in to the phone. Does it do that?
If not then the vibe is defective.
no it didnt, i just went ahead and traded both my phones for new ones, both are working great, no more 100% awake for me and my gf has a phone that vibrates. Now its time to root and flash with Fresh 1.0 again.
TY for your response guess it was just a bad one
quick question, when you exchanged the phone, was it still rooted? im having the same problem with my phone and its a little annoying. ive been looking around to see if there is a way to unroot the phone, but it doesnt look like there is a way to do it.

yea it was rooted and still flashed with 1.0 they took it back no problems, since i was still under the 30days return policy.
vibration not working
i rooted my phone with just some rom i found and about an hour ago the vibration stopped working. this is bad for me, i need the virbation more than anything. my 30-day warranty is up but i do have the insurance on my phone, will they let me exchange it even though it is rooted?
Thanks
I was having a similar problem. I downloaded the volume control app and unclicked and reclicked the little vibrate icon above the actual volume level and it fixed it for me.
im sry for posting another topic, went through all other topics and none helped me, my x10 has been rebooting randomly alot, never did when i first got it
it restarts when im using edge while browsing the internet, restarts sometimes during games, restarts when calling someone and ALOT when i use it when its plugged
i tried so far flashing it from SEUS, removing apps, playing around with settings
its a problem so big for me im concidering changing phones, and returning the x10 to a shop or sending it for warranty arnt options for me
I think it's the phone running out of Ram because your having too much stuff open

no, usually happens after it just booted while doing a random action
Probably time to back up your apps and wipe things out. Also, defrag your SD card because a few times mine became amazingly fragmented.
You could back track and try figuring out what app or what change had caused this but for the same amount of effort you can start fresh. I routinely wipe things out. I do it partially because if you only do a few reformats every now and again it becomes a daunting, intimidating task where you fear losing important info, etc.. just my two cents.
Mine is doing it too, while I have almost no extra applications installed and I don't use timescape and very rarely mediascape.
Just laying on my desk when suddenly the display lights up and the phone says simcard locked (asking for my pincode).
Happens approx. once every 1-2 days, and sometimes a short time after I reboot.
I never noticed it in the almost 6 months I have this phone, until I plugged in a new simcard with the pincode request active
Sent from my X10i using XDA App
Reseating the SIM and SD card can definitely help too. But I've personally used the same SIM cards for years without challenges on the network or with my phones. Sometimes you get a dud or some dust in there.
I like using Hot Reboot to reboot my phone from time to time as well. I don't do it too often because I like to see how long my battery lasts, but it helps out a ton. Much better than killing tasks. I only do that before putting my phone to sleep for a long time, just in case some stray apps don't close or trick WiFi into staying on, etc.
My phone seems to be rebooting much more when I plug in to charge (while on the phone or having the earphones plugged in) . . . Its really annoying. Last night just trying to talk to my girlfriend it rebooted about.. 7 times? Less than 30 minutes. That is very frustrating. . I'll go home later and try to defrag the card and maybe the sim and such. I'll see what happens.. if it keeps up I might just have to go back to the storm1 until 2.1 comes out. Hopefully that'll fix this rebooting problem..

same here, its a perfect phone i and i dnt mind anything in it but the reboot problem, cuz i already have a couple of deals lined up to sell it and if the prob isnt fixed any time soon im gonna take the plunge and sell it
it is a hardware failure. If you smell the back (behind the cover) u smell something burning. it will hapen more often and than you have to take it to a repair center where they can fix it under warrenty. They are repairing mine right now.....
I have same issue in HK & got replace mainboard but still got error restart.
Finally they change a new X10i to me beside they need me keep my old back cover!
My friend has got the same issue and the phone was sent back with the same problem again. In return we sent it back again to sony and we received a new phone
I wonder if the restarting could be related to wifi,
I didn't enable the wifi for about 2 weeks now and it didn't reboot once.
Just leaving 3g network on for the moment.
get your x10 replaced with its motherboard. i had to threaten legal action just to get the restart loop fixed.
its a very common problem with a faulty batch or with the phone itself. you can check all the complaints here

m8 i had exactly the same problem first the restart was just randomly and then the START became random i mean when i boot my phone it restarted itself over and over again so i turn it off and leave it to rest then when i switch it on again i was able to use it about 30 min and then the restarting session comes back again and i wasnt even able to log in to Android OS . The device just reached Sonny Ericsson logo and restart .SO i gave it back to the shop i bought it from and after few days they gave me new one coz it was some hardware issue they couldnt fix that was the only way to repair it for me.
P.s. 1st i bought black xperia but they gave me white cant be more happy coz i wanted white when i first went to the shop but they ware all sold ..
I think it happens when the phone gets too hot. check the back of your phone and feel it it is overly warm, I know my phone has rebooted sometimes when I have been doing cpu intensive tasks and multitasking or using the gps for a while. This happened with my g1 as well.
Are you using a Task Killer? If so, do NOT kill the Backup and Restore application on the phone and see if that resolves your problem.
I know it sounds strange, but I was having a similar issue where my phone would randonly restarted. It only started to happen after I did a firmware upgrade that installed the Backup and Restore feature (I'm on Rogers). Once I stopped killing the app, my problems stopped.
For mine it was GPS. Disabling GPS stops rebooting the phone.
bad chipset... return to se.
Before I tried all the other MODs, especially Froyo ROMs, everything works fine.
After trying and flashing and downloading and ... my GPS will now work for nearly 30 mins or equal to kilometers driven and then reboots or GPS signal lost
It needs to cool down or the timeframe will be shorter just after the reboot. To turn GPS on/off will not work.
I tried everything in any possible combination:with and without backcover; car charger; Navigon, MAPs; reflashed back to 2.1 Stock; formatting SDCard; changed SDCard - problem remains
I wouldn't say that it's the cover will be hot..yes warm, but that's all.
My problem is, that there is a little crack on the touchscreen on the upper left side, so I guess SE will not replace my generic full-paid handset.
I still have this problem lately, and it is right out of warranty, so i am stuck with this phone.
I check with robbers (rogers) if i can get another phone cheaper... heck they are selling me old smart phones more expensive then the market.
I think i am through with Sony ericsson, phone is nice but their choice of manufacturers are horrible.
Seriously, Sony deserve to be hacked and deserve to lose billions.
I received my new lavender and started the unlock counter (170h) last week. Then i was so smart that i did not use the phone at all, but just kept using my old phone until the countdown. I know, i was stupid, but now it's done.
Today i went to unlock and got the "unable to unlock phone has been used too little" message....
Did this happen to anybody? What should i do now, beside start using the phone right away? Should i just wait a few days and try again or should i create a new mi account and associate it to the phone and start over again?
It happen to a lot of people out there.. Just turn on your device and don't worry, you just need to wait 3 more days but be sure to have the device connected on internet once a day. Good luck.
