Every couple of days my mda3 freezes. I thought at first it was only happening whilst using tom tom nav 3 but have now found it just happens at random times. The problem is that when it does freeze the only thing i can do is a soft reset. However after I do this the pda totally resets and everthing on it is gone(apart from the pre-installed applications etc). Any help on this would be much appreciated.
Thanks.

m2000 keeps freezing and stays frozen till i reset it, can some one help? :roll:
Can you be a bit more specific? How often does it freeze?
I used to have to do a soft reset 3 or 4 times a day with my XDA IIs due to lock-ups until I did as I explained in THIS post. Now hasn't locked up since.
Not sure if there is something similar with the m2000
Recently I am experience and incredible fact.
The green button to start a call NOW works as CALENDAR shortcut button (yes like the top right button)
The red button to END a call NOW works as CONTACT shortcut button (yes like the top LEFT button)
The 2 Contact and Calendar button (top left and right) DO work correctly.
I supposed some recently installed applications made this mess. Therefore I tried
- soft reset: no way
- hard reset: no way
- I PUT MDA 3 in BootLoader mode and I REINSTALLED MY rom 1.42 WWE
Now what happened is that for 2 days OK, the GREEN and RED button DID work correctly to start and end CALLS.
After 2 days, the strange phenomena appeared again!
Please note that I HAVE NOT INSTALLED ANY ADDITIONAL SOFTWARE!
I am very puzzled.
Please help

I got it to the second time yesterday, but it just went away.
The first time it happened I did a hard reset 2 times and that didn't fix it.
The battery had to die completely
Is it a known issue ofr ROM 1.42?
Thanks and waiting
Saulo
did you try to REFLASHING ????
I was actually going to downgrade because the problem never happened in 2003, but my battery was dead when the battery was charged enough to start the buttons worked correctly.....
The second time it happened it just went away after a few hours (I was driving so I couldn't mess with it) when I got home it was back to normal.

Have you recently installed any software, let me know maybe it is related to some software??
Do you know how to UNLOCK the ExtROM and then install 1.42 o
Yes I have installed Windows 2005. Then since very unstable, I downgraded to Win2003, 1.42 (not the original 1.31
Now, in addiiton to his strange fact, (flipping buttons) I experience the flickering of screen, several times a week. A soft reset usually solves this new problem. But then it may reappear.
I installed the following softwares: CE Chinese Input
I thought it was the culprit, therefore i made a HARD RESET.
Then I tried other sfw, also trial Chinese Inputs.
But again this problem reappeared
Now I made a clean HARD RESET and NO sfw.
The problem reappeared.
Conclusion:
I guess something wrong in External ROM.
In fact in Device Information:
ROM version 1.4200 WWE
Radio 1.13.00
ExtRom: NONE
Do you know how to UNLOCK the ExtROM and then install 1.42 on it?
Thanks

i have the same problem today. it has happened before. i think it is a glitch in the rom. i have hard reset and it went away before. this time no. i have hard reset and restore my backup and same thing. the culprit could be a bad wisbar install. that is what i think i did wrong, i installed wise bar and did not reset (forgot). then this morning woke up to the send button going to calendar. any suggestions. thanks.

I get a similar thing but my green button opens TomTom navigator
I also upgraded to WM5 and then back down again to the 2003 1.42
Hi all,
I recently received an O2 XDA Orbit. The Orbit works fine, except that sometimes on doing a soft reset it will hang at the green "Windows Mobile 5.0" welcome screen.
I have left it for periods of time in excess of 30 minutes, and eventually the XDA becomes completely unresponsive (backlight doesn't come on when pressing buttons etc). On doing a consecutive reset, it does exactly the same thing. The only way to resolve it is to do a complete hard reset.
This initially happened when using Sprite Backup. Before doing a backup the program resets the device, and this exact same thing happened. I thought it would be to do with the software, however i have not installed Sprite since but i am getting the same symptoms.
A relative of mine got an Orbit at the same time and hers is having the same problems, yet another relative received one a few months before and his is fine.
I was wondering if anyone else is having this problem, or if anyone can suggest a remedy for it?
I got my orbit too recently but it did not freeze at startup but a white screen flashed up for a few secs. I did a hard reset and then before the o2 extras get installed - a\3 sec countdown will appear on the screen do a quick softreset - stylus in the soft reset hole.
I reckon that will solve your problem as its prob due to the o2 extras.

Was it plugged in when it hung?
It happens both when it is plugged in to my laptop, and when it isn't connected to anything at all.
Hi, I have a dopod 838pro and recently upgrade to Schap's 3.57a WM6 Rom. It was working fine for the past 2 months, until today where it blackout completely. I soft reset the phone and after the startup screen, it just stop at the windows mobile screen without booting into the system. None of the keys work and i have to take out the battery just to turn the phone off.
Tried a hard reset and the result is still the same. I can't sync with activesync nor do much from the phone.
Anyone out there who has experience something like this and maybe a workaround of it.
Highly appreciate if someone can help. Thanks!!!
After a few hard reset and some luck i manage to get it working again. thanks
Hello, I tried searching but to no avail.
I have an intermittent problem that is getting the best of me with my TP2. The phone application seems to freeze randomly. It seems to usually occur at the end of a call when I go to hang up. I click end, the call ends and the phone just freezes. The call is disconnected, but the end screen is just displayed and my only recourse is to soft-reset.
There is really not a lot of third part stuff on it, in fact, I did a hard reset not 5 days ago.
Can anyone offer any help on the matter...
As always, many many thanks...
Same problem
I also have the same problem. I recently upgraded to WM6.5, but the problem still exist.
Somtimes the light on the bottom remain on as the phone freezes
I'm also having this problem, infact it keeps freezing on the home screen for me..
If I was not so green, I'd consider trying to get more stable by flashing a different ROM but I have no clue how to even begin to find one, select one, and do the operation.
You might try doing a hard reset. That's cured similar problems for me. I wouldn't suggest doing a backup, because you might backup and restore whatever is causing the problem.
Did a hard reset and no backup loaded only 4 days ago.
Any better solution for this problem??
