I have a brand new MDA III and it always needs a new ajusting of the touchscreen. I have a tight case of an old MDAI. Could this be the reason. Also it seem to change, when I switch in an off WIFI or GSM. But that is just a feeling. Does someone have the same experience :evil:
ive never had that problem with mine, ive had xda 2 for a year and only ever did it when i had rto hard reset, and ive had xda2s for 6 months and the same with hard reset, never done it cos its gone out of alignment, i would guess that its software related, whats your software versions?
maybe u need an upgrade, or maybe if its under its warrenty, ask the shop u got it from to have a look at it.

Well, tomorrow I will go down to Accord HK (Hong Kong Service agent) and return by SECOND XDA IIs. This will be about my 8th visit to Accord in the three months of owning a IIs.
The first model had its internal microphone replaced three times before I simply got fed up and asked for a replacement.
Now, the replacement has a defect. Everytime I remove the Sim card, the unit HARD resets! Its ridiculous.
I really dont know what to do now. People still complain they cant hear me properly (with the old AND replacement unit), and now the hard reset issue is just too much to handle. I think I will ask them for a Mini and refund me the balance money?
What do you guys with the IIs think? Am I just expecting too much?
Not sure if this is a defect.
If I remove the battery from my XDAII for just a few seconds, my unit also hard-resets.
That's why I never never take the battery out anymore.
Cheers

Hi.
I would say that this is a defect/bug on the BA.
Several people have the same issue when battery is removed.
I don't have this issue.
I can remove the battery with the Device turned on, or turned off. No loss of data.
this is certainly a defect. The IIs has a backup battery specifically for this reason. My first (now returned) unit didnt have this problem. IIs users know about this of course.
I just wonder how everyone is living with the low sound problem...
EXcuse me but Jam sucks , i think XDa2 is the way to go 8)
I have had my BA for some time and have had a problem where it will not receive some text msgs, sometimes it does not respond to them at all other times the screen comes on PHMs cpu usage bar goes up then nothing happens. I kno the messages have been sent as i have checked on the phones that sent them.
this is the third one i've had now after sending it back to O2 and having replacement units. all 3 had the same fault.
anyone know of a fix for this instead of me sending it back to O2 again, since they won't let me have a different model without paying full price for it.
Change to the iMate ROM. It works a treat. Its not that hard once you get your head around it! Although it does mean you have ahost of new bugs to deal with
02 are in complete denial that there is anything wrong with their software. The Orange MS smartphones have the exact same problem and they don't wanna hear it. I think because most users are too dumb to realise anything is wrong OR think its their own fault and are too proud to ask for help so no-one complains about it. You'd think it would be cheaper for them just to sort out the bugs rather than replace probably hundreds of handsets a year.
Just out of intrest, when was the last time they sent you a new handset?
hi im gonna send my phone back because the call/answer button doesnt work very well, i have flashed the phone to original htc but on the new windows mobile 6, i have downgraded the ipl and spl so i dont have olipro. Just wanted to know if its fine to send back phone on the new os or is it prefered if it was back on wm5 instead of 6?
i dont want them complaining its my fault for the button not working well, but i do know its hardware related but you know how companies will squirm out of paying to fix their problem.
Any advice would be grateful.

I've seen many comments in many threads about returning phones under warranty and the consensus is that IPL/SPL or ROM probably doesn't matter. Nobody seems to notice....
I bricked my 8525 a couple of months ago while out in Los Altos, CA.
Took it into the AT&T dealership near Stanford. They exchanged it no questions asked. They basically looked it over to see if it had been dropped (looking for deep scratches), and checked the fluid indicator near the battery to ensure it had not gotten wet.
I don't think they care what version the phone is running, but I'm not 100% positive.
if ur phone is htc branded then yes it is okay as u are sending it back with a official htc rom. if its another then send it back with that carriers rom. better safe the sorry.
EDIT: i see u have a htc tytn so yes dont worrry about it as long as spl and ipl are the same as original.
thanks for the advice, hopefully the wont complain about the little scratches, im abit clumsy this past few weeks. Cheers all
Right, well i had enough on my tytn!! Contacted orange and got a new contract and getting an spv m3100 (free).
my question is, have i made the right move? I'm thinking about updating the rom, but will i still have the same issues? ie, not turning back on sometimes after i turn it off? also, text messeges not being sent? I use the black pro rom at the moment. is there a new updated version that most people are happy with? i have insured it with orange, so if it f**cks up on the upgrade or after, i can always "lose" it.
Let me get this right - you had a TyTN and now you have a SPV M3100?
These are the same devices, same hardware.
I guess the problems you are describing are caused by software - not by hardware.
Regarding a new ROM version - have you tried to read this forum? There are plenty out there.
as said its the same device?
tho be its now black than pink
same device, maybe so. but htc seem to suck at customer service. prolly the same with orange, but i'll be insuring the phone.
maybe, my tytn is duff. i had problems from day one but htc did nuttin about it! decided to go back on contract for a couple of reasons. 1 being gprs/g3 is way cheaper, and whats more the device is free!!
anyway, i'll give it a go, and if i'm not happy within 14 days, i'll be sending it back and getting something else, maybe an m700.
cheers anyway
wouldnt it have been worth trying some dif roms on your tytn and see if that solves the problem.
Probably a bit silly taking out a new contract on an old phone that you already have when the tytn 2 is due to be released any day now.
Might be worth a play with your tytn more while you are still in your 14days.
Also if you are porting your pay as you go number across to your contract, and the process has already started then you will loose your number if you give the phone back in 14 days.

all good valid points.
I'm sure orange isn't going to release the new version for a while, but then i really don't know about these things.
I will try a couple more roms (tried 3 already), but to be honest, i really hate the looks of the tytn!! looks fully out dated! it's deffo going on ebay!
i'm not going to port the number over (unless they can do it as a line 2). Also, i am gonna stick with the orange contract, i'll just change devices. i like the m700 (more so if there's a black version).
Thanks for the comments!
Txt messages not being sent is not down to the phone but a network problem. I have no problem with the phone not turning on with the Schaps 3.54 rom so give that a try if you haven't.
Hi,
my Artemis turns off every now and then and I'm getting a bit pissed off by the phone. Because it happens exspecially when I'm talking to someone. The error occurred first about two weeks ago and i tried to fix wit an hard reset, but that didn't worked out. I also don't think it has anything to do with the battery, since it also turns off while being connected to the charger.
If anyone knows help, I would be grateful.
i had the same problem and the solution is ......
a new battery
My XDA Orbit is doing the same thing - randomly switching off when in use (either phone call or browsing the web). Its being doing this for over the last two to three weeks and I, too, am getting pissed off with it. My Orbit is over two years old so I'm suspecting the battery although the battery meter states everything is OK. I've just purchase a new battery on-line and, when I receive, I'll let you know if it cures the resetting issue.
Alistair
thanx, that is at least a problem with an easy solution.
@ ajmcfarlane: thx, I'll wait for your post.
Received battery on Saturday and early indications look as though it has cured the problem of the phone resetting. If anything changes, I'll keep you posted.
Cheers, Alistair
great, I'll order a battery right away
i also got same problem in my p3300 so did changing battry really solvd problms?
It will cure it.
awesome.. i think most of us have purchase this amazing handset more or less the same time..
all of our devices loosing out on batt.... no bad..
can any one please update the price of a new battery ?
i am in india now.. will be going to singapore this month end to watch the formula 1.. are there any options to buy it in singapore to save some money on it ??
how much is the new batt ??
I have over 200 of these devices in their various guises, and I can tell you that this is a very common problem. If you are lucky you only need change the battery and the device will be fine. If that does not improve matters then good luck as I am yet to find a solution when the problem is not simply the battery. At the moment my best effort is to flash the device with an upto date original ROM and change the battery. It seems to help but I can't say it fixes them as I have not monitored how the reflashed devices perform yet. I will post when I have used the reflashed devices for a few months and see how they go on

Hi radcarash,
do you have any findings? I got the same issue with one Artemis, and it seams the battery change doesn't help at all. I'm just wondering if you found already another solution to cure this world wide problem.
cheers,
