Help - Himalaya (I-Mate) PH10B Problems

Hello,
Forgive me I am a complete noobee.
I bought a Himalaya (Ebay) which seemed to work correctly for a few hours. The it froze and kept freezing on reboot. Next day similar sequence. I basically found it irratic as to when it would switch on and when it would stay on, (I charge battery fully on the cradle but no difference).
Hoping to cure the problems I managed to upgrade from PPC2003 to WM6, but it's performance is the same as before.
Can anybody recommend a fix?
Again forgive me if this is a really dumb question.
Thanks.

My hima freezes at starting too, but I found out it is sd card which causes freezing at start up. So when I softreset I just take off sd card than it start normally,
I have kngston 2GB sd card, maybe sdhc driver fix would help, but it aint a big problem for me, I dont mind.

Thanks for the info.
Mine freezes with both SD card inserted and SD card removed.

sounds like the batt is causing the issues by getting a bit loose or being generaly a bit defect or the batt connector

I have bought a new battery, still no joy everything is exactly the same. It seem to boot briefly when first thing but once it's froze it is impossible to reboot, you have to leave it a couple of hours before it will boot or nearly boot. I think this is a definately hardware issue, any suggestions anybody?
Thanks

Did you try to put your device in Bootloader (Hold POWER+ACTION+RESET)
If you can acces to bootloader than try to reflash the rom with the new one (I recommend syed ather wm6.1 rom) simple fast and stable

Hi
I upgraded my i-mate PH-10B to many ROMS on this forum its upgrades very well but aftr that its very slow and have lost sound on the set please anybody can help on it

Which voltage on which pins?!?

Hello/Moin,
I have an Wazard with a bad akku. I only use the Wizard for testing. The problem is, that I have made an firmware update with the bad akku. In the middle of the updating-prozess the akku was empty. Now I have an wizard, with ist starting the three color screen in an endless modus.
I have a laboratory power pack. I can set the voltage an the current. The WIZARD has six pins for akku. Which voltage has to be attached to which pin?

The same Text on german: Hallo, ich habe meinen Wizard zerschossen. Beim wechseln der Firmware hat der Akku aufgegeben. Jtzt startet er immer wider diesen drei Farben screen. Wie kann ich den Wizard direkt an einem Netzteil betreiben? Welche Spannung muss an welchen Pins anliegen?

hi,
the voltage you'll need is 3.7 volts. And if you face the pda from the back, the upper pin is the positive and the last pin is the negative, so you don't need the pins between the first and the last.
I've also found a dead battery fix on the net. I'm with the same battery issue, but the fix won't help. Maybe it works for you?
There are two options, the first one can be found here: http://asktheadmin.wordpress.com/2007/06/20/htc-wizardcingular-8125-dead-battery-fix-errr-jumpstart-pt-1/
And the second option if you cant find a second battery: http://asktheadmin.wordpress.com/2007/06/22/htc-wizardcingular-8125-dead-battery-fix-errr-jumpstart-pt-2/
Oh, and if you know other ways to fix my pda, could you tell me how?
Good luck!

Once my computer just up and turned off in the middle of a flash. After this it would only go into bootloader mode (RGB screen.) Good thing I ripped my original ROM with WST (Wizard Service Tool), as my piddly lil carrier doesn't have a official rom that I've found.
In my experience, if you can get bootloader and it says "USB" in the bottom left when connected, you can flash your original rom (or part of) to your phone with the no id version of RUU.
Although I haven't experienced the dead battery issue, I don't think the RGB would load in that case. However, pinouts.ru is the shiznit. Happy hunting.

Im kinda unsure what your problem is
Is it you cant access the boot loader to flash a new rom??
Or is it you dont have a battery??
Did ya try booting while holding the camera button with the stylus pressing the reset button?
also you can get a new battery for $10 at
http://www.batteries.com/productprofile.asp?appid=394544
the wizard repair manual might help too
hopefully i helped somewhat lol

@ SlimDan22: None of your 2 options.. His problem is that he flashed his rom and in the middle of the flashing process, his PDA turned off. Because he has a dead/bad bettery. So the only thing he has to do is charge his battery with the wallcharger to 100% (from 0% to 100% it takes 4 hours according to the ser vice manual). Then connect it to the pc and get the bootloader in USB mode. You can do that by holding the camera button and press the reset button with the stylus. Hold the camera button until the device restarts, then follow the on-screen steps (just press the send key, the green button)
Then the device is in USB mode and you can flash your PDA again
I've got nearly the same problem (exept the reboot in the middle of the flash process) so i've got to fix my battery issue.
This is what I'm doing now:
I'm testing my PDA with the htc battery diagnostic tool "PowerDetect". I've attached the tool if you want to use it
I also found the service manual at: ftp://xda:[email protected]/Wizard/Docs_Tutorials/Wizard_Service_Manual.pdf.
I've put back the original Rom temporary now (WM5, not WM6) maybe that was the problem but my battery issue started before I upgraded my PDA to the newest TNT software.
My prevous software was TNT 5.0, that's where the problem started (after a use of a couple of months..)
I hope I can fix my phone, because I've no warrenty anymore. It's second hand and i teard off the warrenty label..
We'll see if it works..
I've heard about many issues with the wizard but this is the most annoying one until now
Succes fixing your phone
Jordy

My problem is nearly solved
After some tests with multimeter and PowerDetect I found out that it was a bad battery problem. There were many options:
1. bad battery
2. corrupted chip on mainboard
3. bad contacts (oxidation on pins)
4. software bug
So it was #1, I don't need help anymore..
The website for a new battery wich SlimDan22 linked, was very cheap but only ships in UK and I'm living in the netherlands but I found a good website if you're living here: http://shop.strato.com/epages/61396109.sf/secoKSHUJAaOLc/?ObjectPath=/Shops/61396109/Products/PDA16010
It has many models of batteries but only ships in the netherlands so..

PS. @snowyrain: would you tell me if it worked for you by just connect a powerpack to the pins? maybe i'll do that instead of buying a new battery..

G1 locks up or doesnt turn on or charge?

Hey all, working on a friends G1 (Yeaaa mine isnt the messed up one heh) anyways its odd.. sometimes it locks up. I mean I have even flashed restored it fresh etc. Sometimes when you plug the charger in it doesnt even act like anything happened. Sometimes need to take battery out and put back in a few times to get it to respond etc.
Now I am wondering, since right now it turns on fine etc.. could this be some sorta software botch up or is it hardware? Anyone else see issues like this where the G1 is unstable? Its not been dropped or water as well. Just trying to see notes before I tell him it has to be sent off. Thanks.

I'd restore to stock and see if it continues. If so, warranty exchange it.

Use the searc buttton.

I agree with GenericNode, just tell him to send it back. They will replace it for 10 dollars (Shipping charge). It's not worth the long term risks.

Question is, how long is the warrenty for? I dont know if it is or not, also I did restore to stock, never had this one modded.
und max, was ist mit dir? Du bist neu hier und nichts konstruktive zu sagen? Auch es ist "Search" geschrieben nicht "Searc" und ich kann hier suchen aber mein probleme ist was anderes. Ok?

Faulty HD2?

Hi all,
I am after some guidance as I believe my phone to be faulty.
Basically without warning the phone will lock up/freeze, I am unable to do anything with it until I remove the batttery & then, within 2 hours sometimes as short as 1 minute it will freeze again. I've tried both a hard & soft reset & still it continues to freeze/lock up.
I have managed to use the phone constantly for long periods but the minute I let the lights dim or the phone goes into standby it will lock up, the hardware buttons light up but nothing from the screen.
My questions are:
Could this be a software/rom issue?
If it is possible to be a software/rom issue & I have the phone unlocked could I reflash the rom using one of the genuine HTC roms on this site?
Would doing the above void my warranty with Vodafone?
I would really appreciate any help as it would appear that it is going to be a long time before Vodafone get a replacement to me.
Regards,
Pailea.

Assuming that you have the standard ROM and have not installed any programs, this behaviour would unfortunately seem to indicate a faulty phone.
Sorry I can't bring you any good news

Faulty phone or faulty rom
I am getting this issue but only since the new 1.48 rom, and only after a few days.
Not sure if it is a software conflicict or what.
Most likely the rom.

Try upgrading ROM by standard method instead of using gold card (in case)
Check few days without additional programs.
Also, don't use any power saving tweaks.

[Help] HTC P3600 Trinity freezing software and tearing screen

Hi, this is my first post here I didn't have time (and will) to read the rules and everything, so I just hope that this is the right forum for this kind of request.
Since you guys have showed up to be people with nice expertises, I request your help to avoid going to any support center and spend money for something that by lucky means, may be fixed at home
The problem is that when doing some operations, the device freezes and no action can be done, whatever button I press or wherever I click with the stylo.
The only thing that can be done to restore for a while the correct functionality of the device is to remove and reinsert the battery.
I don't know exactly when this problem started to show up, because the device isn't mine, so I don't even know what can be the possible causes.
I have also to say that this problem occurred few times at the beginning, but now it happens more and more often making it impossible the use of the phone. Sometimes I even can't turn it on.
I've tried to substitute the battery, but with all of them, the problem remains.
After that I've tried the software reset, didn't solve anything.
The hardware reset didn't solve anything either.
I thought then that maybe the operating system was going nuts, so I tried to flash the device putting WM6.1 Stratos FE+ on it (of course, following the guide and without doing anything wrong), but nothing changed.
I don't know what else it could be, so before throwing this piece of garbage in the bin I ask here for the last sentence, if you can help me.
I have some pictures attached of the phone freezing and the screen tearing up (looks almost like The Matrix movie).
Thanks in advance.

Hello,
From my experience, i think your problem is due to CPU overheating.
There are similar threads on this forum, regarding your problem.
I advice you to check those threads.

have anyone fix that problem? i have the same problem, but 3months before i put a rubber between the cpu and the metal cover and it worked, but now again and the rubber dont help anymore

I didn't do anything still on my phone, I am waiting that somebody gives us an answer
The only thing I did was to reduce the backlight brightness, according to the problem this guy has on this other thread -> hxxp://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=596927
But the only thing I've got after this is that the phone lasts a bit longer before crashing

trinity

nothing help. reinstal everything twice. even in stand by it freeze...

Everything is testing, if you have your experience pls share

Nobody has an idea how to fix that error?
@ivanish: can u please share your solution!!

how u solved that freezing problem ? plz can u share ?

thinh30 its overheating problem of cpu as i experiance this freezing problem when media player is in use for long time or during usb connection with pc
i think cpu speed should be lowered to avoid overheating and not increased

it's not that , the screen connector is destroyed , i have the same problem , it's not CPU , use search , there were solved this problem few years ago
