i have developed a problem with my hermes. it will just turn itself off even with a fully charged battery. i think the issue may be connected with the new case i bought. it is one of the monstech snap on cases. when i was first installing it, it caused the keyboard to pop loose(the actual keypad part), but it snapped right back in place. when it shuts itself down you can still see the screen image, but just barely. i was just wondering if anyone had any idea of what might be causing the issue and if it is something i can do to fix it myself since i assume that the warranty is void since the phone has been superCIDed. any help would be greatly appreciated.
hi
had the same problem. what i did was to turn on all functions (wlan,gsm phone, data transfer, bluetooth) run a bunch of programs in the background
then turn of the screen ( tapping the power button once)
the battery will then start to slowly drain itself and once you recharge the battery, the phone should be quite ok afterwards
All of the sudden the Hermes stopped responding to the touch screen, all of the regular buttons work and the screen remains on, doesnt shut down. I reflashed it thinking it might fix the problem but now I am stuck at the calibrate screen. Anyone else encounter this, and if so is there a fix for it?

What is your device s/n ?
to pass calibrate screen,take out battery for 3 or 4 hour.
then put battery and power on.
I had the battery out overnight and the problem remains, the serial starts with HT729F

Maybe same problem...
My Wizard had that problem. I got a business card and stuck it between the screen and casing and swiped it all along the perimeter, especially the bottom, and it worked fine after that.
Hello, a while back I posted a charging problem, which turned out to be the Mini-USB and Wall Charger was bent, and before that, the Mini USB outlet in the phone broke entirely. Well, another problem has arisen, as finally got a new charger yesterday, and worked perfectly. So, I shut it off, and left it to charge overnight. Now, the problem? All of a sudden, it refuses to boot. Held down the power button for 5 seconds, 20 seconds, and a full minute. Nothing. Any suggestions?

nothing AT ALL? or the screen turns on and gets stuck?
if nothing at all happens, try the battery jump start method
Well, after constant trying at starting the phone, I managed to have it boot after hours. What happened? During the boot,where it displays Windows Mobile 6, a line appeared, and the phone darkened, and then crashed.
What the hell.
I suggest a hard reset......

....................And how can I hard reset when it doesn't boot, and whenever it does, crashes during it?
Anyone that's here help?
I'm currently having the same problem with mine. Hard resetting didn't work for me but you may as well try it.
If you can get it to start booting for just a few seconds you can hard reset it without loading the operating system. As soon as you get it to turn on, hold down the Wifi and Voice command buttons (one's on the left, one on the right). After holding those down, press the soft reset button (the little button on the right that you can press with your stylus) very quickly and release it. If you hold the soft reset button too long, it will perform a regular soft reset and you'll have to start over, so do that quickly.
A black screen should come up and tell you to press your send button to hard reset your phone.
I have similar problem,It's turn on to the logo that's always shown when boot and then it show the logo till it discharged.I tried hard reset,but it's still the same,i post 2 topic's in this website and no one help me
i too am facing the same problem, i was able to start it a few times but it crashed after a few seconds each time. i m gonna charge it all night and see if it starts. right now all i m getting is the red led. i really hope someone finds a solution soon.
With me it was my battery that caused the problem. Try it with the battery of another wizard. Succes, Rietje
ok so i charged it for more than 12 hours and my wizadr still didnt start.
I then got a NEW BATTERY and my wizard turned on within the very moment i pressed the power button.
So any one who is facing a similar problem should try a new battery.

try a battery frm a friends phone. u ll be sure that the battery u r using works fine. if ur phone still doesnt work then u need to have it checked.
i have same problem,,and i use T-Mobile MDA Vario
is it just battery problem or not?and if the PDA inactive it can still charge or not?
and i usually use blackberry charger to charge my PDA,is it ok?and is there any possibility my PDA can't work again?i hope not
pls help me..
Well for starters, charging your phone overnight will probably damage the battery over time. It's only the newer phones and batteries that are able to withstand extended overcharging times without serious damage to the battery. With older phones including the K-JAM/MDA Vario, the battery is meant to be charged till its full, and no more. If you overcharge it, you run the risk of damaging your battery and possibly the phone too.
If a new battery hasn't fixed your problem, the problem lies in your phone's mainboard.
Try charging your phone from a USB port on a computer to see if anything happens.
Never had this happened to me b4. Removing battery wont help either. Tried diff battery and power cable. Its just dead. Soft reseting wont work either
Any ways to fix this myself? Is it the power supply?
I have the same problem, I was downloading the stock firmware on my note 4 while charging, I went to check if it was done downloading but it was frozen, I couldn't get to the lock screen just a black screen with the red notification light, I removed the battery but since then it won't turn on nor charge. I know it's not the battery cuz it works fine on another n4. The weird thing is that I was also downloding the same file on my computer and it was frozen too it didn't finish the download just like my phone,.
This is the first time that something like this happened to me, it wasn't over heating or anything so I have no idea why it won't turn on.
Hi Guys,
I am wondering if anyone is having this problem or has had this problem and knows how to fix it.
Basically what happens is the battery is over 70 percent and when I attempt to use the camera whether it be taking a picture or video the phone will shut right off, then when I attempt to restart it by pressing the power button, it will not power up.
The only way to get it to turn on is to remove the battery and reinstall it. I di notice that the back of the phone is very warm.
Here is what I have tried, originally I was thinking it had something to do wit ht he sd card failing, so I removed it and turned the phone on but the problem keeps happening. I also tried leaving it alone to see if letting it cool down would fix the problem but again it keeps happening.
I do not want to restore the phone but I might just have to do it.
Any help is appreciated.

Have you tried taking a picture with the phone plugged into an outlet to see if it's a faulty battery?
Bad battery mine was doing same thing, Everytime I opened snap chat or try to take a picture at 50ish percent phone would shut down. New battery solved the issue for me.
