after my XDAIIs Freezed, i did soft-reset. i try to turn it on, But nothing happen. So i put a battery out and did hard reset and put it in. then turn it on, nothing happen. i spend a few hour waiting and try to turn it on sometimes can sometimes cannot. How can i do?
Thank you in advance for your answer
what did you do made your XDAIIs Freezed?
any software upgrade?or just happened suddenly?
re:
It's freeze while i'm backing up.
Update: Maybe it's cause by i restore all program from my old Pocketpc Backup, and they have a bad conflication between program and hardware. Now i send my ppc to service for frashing rom and i will try to install it manually one by one.and less program i will use. So, After finished i'll tell you all the result.
Thank you for all you guys reading my topic.
Hard Reset
You dont need to remove the battery to do a hard reset. Just press and hold the power button on the top, and then use the stylus to press the 'soft reset' button on the bottem. That will hard reset the device. It should then power up and re-install its software.
Restoring a backup from an old device aint a good idea (same model, and operator required for sensible results). The backup will contain the windows dir, registry, as well as the operator unique progs that they put on the device to personalize it to them. Result will likely be not being able to boot, or device working incorrectly once started.
If the hard reset does not work, then you'll have to return it for a replacement.
Best bet will be to re-install all the progs from your own device and resync your email, contacts, blah from a PC.

I have the same problem after I upgraded my MDA II to WM2003SE and did a restore from backup.
If the device is in the cradle I can turn it on an also if I receive a phonecall it switches on. A soft reset works also. But if I just press the button nothing happens .........
Will do a hard reset and restore everything manually, see if that helps.....
Update: My board was broke. Services will change it for free but i take a little long times. Because spare parts wasn't avaible.
Have to wait few week.
Since i am relatively new to ppcs, i read almost all the forums to upgrade my BA to wm5.0
the first try, it was so slow, i tried the overclock software, pocket hack master and more, it still had ten second pauses when turning on or waking up. plus the phone was lagging, (slow)
I dont know but i stumbled on this by mistake,
Warning: Backup all data on your device to your computer..
(make a backup compy of all your data on computer)
1) all i did was the following press: (camers + record+ reset "hold untill options appears") then wait until some options appear on the screen, (three options with Yes/No options) I did the same as before, leave the first as No, the last two as Yes, then press the e (internet key), it will reset itself, this takes about 5 secs, this wipe my phone clean, every installed program was gone, brand new....
point1-> do not copy old backup folders to ur device, make only one new directory in my documents (i called mine Files) and place all your files and sub-folders in there.
Note: you will still have the folders, business, personal and my pictures
plus couple others
point2-.just like a PC using MS software, the OS looks for all directories before making next steps.. for example: if you open my documents on the Pc and my documents have a lot of directories/folders and files, the OS will locate all the folders and files before actually shoing a picture in my documents.
The ppc does the same, the less folders you make the better, the faster it runs, the amount of files doesnt matter, the OS keeps special tags on folders and these takes time to read, (NO, the OS doesnt check for sud-folders unless the folder it is contained in is beeing opened)
having less folders increases the speed on the device.
2) then i installed the camera patch, then the album patch to go with it
3) i then installed the keboard patch, you need this..
4) i did not install the fix buttons patch (This is what i think slows down the BA) forgive me if i am wrong, but i leave things as is.
5) i placed all the missing apps in programs, so i can use them just as wn2003
6) i installed all my programs
skyforce 1
spb pocket plus
quickverse bible
adobe reader
photo viewer
7) i then set up my internet connections for att
8) i turn on button lock
9) i turned off all sounds
then i reset...
thats all i did, now my ppc is fast, i am not even using pocket hack master, i didnt even install it (the truth is that i forgot, i didnt see the 10 sec pauses anymore, i power off the device for two hours, power on, no pauses.
a) phone perfect
b) camera perfect
c) backlights perfect
d) keyboard perfect
e) games run fast without a glitch
I dont know what happened, i cant explain it, maybe this is just by luck or by chance, but evrything works well and now for two days works better and faster than ever before.
try, maybe this works for you.
thanks to all the programmers that made this possible, i couldnt have gotten this far without you guys.
let me know what happened or what you think
Hey Mutty...I'm game...will give your method a try and report...you need to make a small edit... "then press the e (internet key), it will reset itself, this takes about 5 secs..." Pressing the e will not do anything, you have to actually press the envolope key.
I have a question do we have to move all the default folders (eg Personal, My Music..etc) in My Documents into one folder or just leave the default folders as is and create a new folder (eg my files) and add all future folders inside this one?
3) i then installed the keboard patch, you need this..
WHAT KEYBOARD PATCH?
Localized Keyboard cabs for different HW-Keyboard Layout...
Here on FTP...
I think it's probably the "Enable KITL = No" option that makes the difference. KITL (Kernel Independent Transport Layer) is a diagnostic mode for developers to debug their drivers and apps, so it's very likely that leaving this enabled will slow things down.
-no1
is it as fast as WM2003se?
i dont know what Kitl is, but one thing i know is that the device worked bettr than before, no pauses, even till now.. I just have to get used to having "ok" and the "windows" key set as soft keys. its kinda good though, i use them as default, for notifications and contacts. pretty cool.
You leave all default folders as is, only create one folder to store all your other files and folders.
where do you find the option to disable KITL
maybe that will ven make my device runs even much faster.
And yes its faster than 2003se... dont take my word for it though..
Try it yourselves, you will see.. even the phone works better.
1) no ten secs pauses on wakup
2) phone works better and responds better
3) I played skyforce without a glitch many times and it is a graphics driven fast pace game.
i have a keyboard patch, i dont remember where i get it from, but i think its used to turn on the backlight on the keyboard, i am not sure, but guess i just installed it
Guys just wanna ask did anyone has problem when recieving sms, backlight didn't on? just vibrate and ring (i set to vibrate and ring) but no light? anyone has the same experience?
It is suposed to be that way
oops!... :lol:

The KITL option is the first of the three options in the boot menu list - the one you said you set to "No".
well im giving yr method a go too, do you have the wifi problem?
nope, no wifi issue
Holy sh!"&%ยง! :shock: Do you mean that if WiFi's on when you turn off the unit (not soft reset, just suspend with the power button) WiFi will still be active when you turn the unit back on again?
wifi caused me a lot of problems. I had it on, and left it on accidentally. it went into sleep or suspend mode of course, but i thought wifi would go off as usual so i didnt check it. Ohh damn, it drained my battery dead. The worst part is that when the battery went dead, i couldnt make or recieve calls for a few minutes, then the whole thing just went dead. on reserve battery. i had to wait till i got home to recharge. half a day of my life was wasted. i depend on my phone very much.
OK, but have you tested if wifi will still be on if you turn suspend with wifi on and then powers on the PPC again? That's what I'm looking for.
holy moly, it only works some times. wifi keeps on only sometimes whaen my devise is suspended. say about 40% of the time. I DONT LIKE THIS....
That's 40 % more than most people get. It's the main problem right now, that BlueTooth and WiFi is turned off when the unit is suspended.
Hi, I am using a WM5 based T-mobile Compact III. it was prefectly functional for the first 3 weeks. Suddently neither the phone button(the green button for answering a call) nor the contacts book function works. After rebooting and powercycle the device many times. it still gives no response, apart from turning the backlight on (i.e. the hardware seems still in good shape). I would suspect it is something wrong with launching (or linking to) the relevant programs for these functions, but I couldn't find the answer to the problem. anyone has the similar experience before? or anyone can help??
Make one more try. Set the phone to fly modus. Make soft reset.
an then turn fly modus off.

you can still browse the contacts or access to the phone function (with a note "phone off" on the top) in the fly mode. My problem is the phone function is nowhere to find at all.... thinking might be a problem somewhere in the registry...
anyone has more idea on this issue? please help...
If you suspect the registry what have you been doing with the device? I would sugest a full hard reset and return the device to the out of the box situation, Page 90 of the manual explains how to do this. As a direct result you will loose all software and settings, the device will be returned to the same state it was in when you removed the unit from the box, if the phone still doesn't work take it back - Mike

I have done nothing suspicious, i.e. any attempt to the registry, apart from applying a network unlock to the phone 2 weeks before it came to this problem. As you suggested, a hard reset seems to be the only solution now... thanks for your reply anyway
Ok has that anyone had this issue with their Orbit?
I had noticed that the keyboard was not giving me any predicted text choices while typing, so I tried to change the input method to no avail. So I decided to perform a sft reset to sort the problem.
Oh was I not happy with the result as for over 5 mins all that was happening with my phone was the screen would light up o2 screen, green screen then enter pin and reset and it would do this again and again.
So even after removing the battery for a few minutes not change once I attempted to start the phone. I even reset the device via the button on the side and it made no difference.
I was just getting ready to bite the bullet and sound off the o2 when I remembered reading on here of something similar happening so I searched and found a posting saying to try and press soft reset just after phone started. And guess what it worked after that so what I want to know is why or what I did to get my phone working again?
Any ideas guys, only thing I can add was the phone was plugged in to my workstation USB so was charging when the initial soft reset was performed while using Valksoft's space reclaimer reset option.
Thanks
JC
Ok an update the phone is now doing this everytime it is turned off. And since the last time it occurred I have been unable to get the phone to work.
Any ideas, I believe it could be a registry issue with the phone as I had recently installed a couple of programs that worked fine for a couple of days then while installing a dictionary several programs were uninstalled in error.
So after installing again this problem has arisen. It is possible that this was not th cause as I hae noticed tat the last scheduled back up was on the 22/01/07 so Monday's was not carried out possibly due to this?
my orbit has also this bug. after a soft reset he is booting up till the pin entry and then a boots again and again. Up to 5 times
Yes, my Orbit sometimes needs to reboot 4 times before it will sucessfully bring up the Home Screen. Anyone got any ideas on why???!!!??
I had enough of it doing this so I have done a hard reset and the problem has gone now just need to set everything back as I want it as backup still had the initial issue once it was retored.
I guess it was to do with the registry but not sure what exactly, maybe redundant reg keys etc?
I've experienced same problem on my dutch t-mobile mda compact III.
Happend after installing different programs, but i can't find the exact cause.
when i remove the microsd (on which i installed the programme's) the device starts en doesn't softreset when phone screen shows.
At first i thought it had to do with programs that tried to connect to gprs before even entering the pincode of the phone. But even without pincode it keeps restarting.
Happend on my 1gb microSD once en also on my 2 gb microSD.
Hope that someone knows what the cause is, so i can prevend it from happening.
Resets caused by the Memory Card Fault
Look at the posts regarding the memory card corruption if you back-up the card format it and then put it back everything is fine for a while. Not puttting a My Documents folder on the storage card usually helps with this issue...
rebooting.
hi,
as you well understand there are only 2 possibilities: software and hardware failure.
Surely, you don't want to think about hardware failure, because in this case the solution is to send it back to seller or to service center. Except for the cases caused by battery and sd card. These are 2 elements you can replace on your own easy.
However, "instability" of the device normally caused by installed software.
The first thing you do, like it or not, if you have a problem, hard reset your device.
BACKUP your DATA before hard reset!
You can try to to remove software piece by piece, but could be time consuming thing and not necessarily lead you to a good result.
Radical approach is to return device to "factory state" - hard reset.
If after hard reset you still have a problem with your device like accidentally rebooting, address to service center or ask seller to to replace the good.
regards,
rebooting.
double post.
I had the issue once... card corrupted. Had a back up so formatted the card, put data back in, issue gone.
This has happened to my orbit a couple of times. But I think if I reset by pressing the reset button on the side of the machine it only resets once. Resetting after installing apps for example from the prompt is bad, do it later by pressing the actual button. This seems to work for me but only time will tell.
my htc p3300 has reset problm
my htc p3300 restarts automatically while im calling or using net it starts autuomatically it goes till green screen where it shows wm 6.1 then restarts again n again i dnt know plz tell me is it software or hardware problm
Hi,
I have a VODAFONE 1605 (a plain Hermes 200, a TyTN). It had the original Italian Vodafone WM5 ROM until last month when I decided upgrading it.
I first tried the CH Vodafone version of WM6 ROM, but I had to remove it quickly because for no apparent reason, it was not working with SMS at all (no SMS out, no SMS in...).
I then decided to use HTC WM6 ITA ROM and to apply manually all the needed configurations to use it with my VODAFONE.
It run perfectly until yesterday, when it stopped sending and receiving SMS.
This is very strange as I did not install any program since one week (at least) and it seems difficult for me to be able to find any reason.
Probably the pim.vol file grew too much it is not anymore able to handle more SMS (provided the infos are inside there) ?
I have no explanations available to me and I was not able to find any kind of hint digging into the forum...
I was only able to find some other people with similar problems in the last few days but on different platforms...
Is this maybe a WM6 bug ???
Any hint appreciated.
I'll in the meaningwhile backup all of my infos and proceed to a HR... I'll keep my fingers crossed...
Dear Mix,
I wish I could give you a good answer, but... well, maybe the answer is not really an answer, but it could be at least an hint for other people like you (ME !!!).
You do not want to lose all of your settings, all of your received SMS, you do not want to waste a lot of time setting everything as it was before, so an HR is REALLY the LAST solution for you. You would like to find a tricky path to follow to bypass this unlucky situation...
You already tried to SOFT RESET your device but you did not succeed. The problem is still there...
Well, there seems to be another kind of RESET, before the HARD RESET.
I would define it the "DEEP SOFT RESET", which is something more than a SOFT RESET, but it is right before the HARD RESET.
This kind of reset solved the above problem. I don't know why, I don't know how. It only worked.
The DEEP SOFT RESET is this: press OK and ON button and while pressing those two buttons, put your stilus into the reset hole, pressing the recessed switch. This will place you into the BOOTLOADER MODE.
Keep the device there, showing all the colors and Bootloader information for around 20 seconds at least (obviously, not connected to any cable).
Then, put your stylus again into the hole for resetting and press the internal swith one time more (without pressing any other button).
Your device will reset again, your data will still be into your TyTN and your TyTN will start loading all the data it still has inside.
As soon as I did this, the waiting SMS started reaching their addressee and they moved to "sent" folder.
Again, I'M SURE THIS DID NOT WORK WITH A NORMAL SOFT RESET (I ALREADY DID THIS 20 TIMES !!!). And again, I don't know wither HOW and WHY.
It only worked.
Good luck.
UPDATE:
I've noticed that the problem aroused again and I did a DEEP investigation, with a complete reset of my Hermes...
I then placed all the same programs inside and again no problem...
Problem came back once I used a program called Hermes Tweaker v2.1b which tweaks some parameters around in the WM device...
Once I reset the parameters to default again, the problem went away.
I'll have to discover which parameter is creating the problem...
I'll post the results here (beside fit4cat's pm...)
Good luck.
