My XDA IIs hard resets on it's own IE got a txt message hit the power button to bring it out of stand by and the thing resets. I have removed all 3rd party software and it is still doing it.
I am running V1.4 and 1.13 Radio ROM funny thing is that it just started doing this about a week ago.
Anyone else experience this? Better yet anyone else know how to fix it?
thanks for any help
i just got this problem.
was receiving an MMS message when it froze, had to reset it (only way i know how to is take battery out) and then it just formatted and reinstalled everythin again.
if i press the reset button will i iloose data? or is it just a reset for the phone?
Pressing the reset button only with the stylus results in a soft reset. Pressing the power button and the reset button at the same time causes a master reset causing all newly installed programs to be deleted. All pre-installed programs are then reinstalled and all default settings are restored as well.
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
Saulo
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.
I was doing something in task manager yesterday.
When i was shutting down some programs.
My MDA COMPACT III froze.
The last program i closes was device.exe
Now its hanging,
It goes through he O2 screen, the next screen stays on.
Back light keeps burning.
what am i supposed to do now?
I've had this a few times now. The latest was after I installed Opera and did a soft reset. I left the PDA for over an hour but it never came back responsive. After several soft resets I had to do a Hard Reset. (Hold down both Soft-Keys and Press the reset button in the hole on the side with the stylus). This WILL wipe all your data though.
i already left it on for 5 hours, no changes where made.
i also left it laying on my desk with the battery removed.
no changes
In bootloader it doesn't get connected to my pc, so i can't flash any rom into it

Do a Hard Reset. (Hold down both Soft-Keys and Press the reset button in the hole on the side with the stylus).
when i do a hard reset, it goes into bootloader.
i press the soft-keys on side of the MDA (voice & power) put the stylus in.
it goes direct into bootloader when i pull out my stylus

that is not how a hard reset is done. dont press the buttons on the sides of the device. what you do is starting bootloader.
to do a hard reset do as described here in the wiki.

That's bootloader mode NOT a hard reset.
To perform a hard reset, press and hold two keys on FRONT of phone next to Red and Green call buttons while pressing reset button with stylus. Keep these TWO buttons held until text appears on screen asking you to "Confirm to Format". Press the GREEN call button and then sit back until the phone re-boots.
Then you have the good job of re-installing everything again.................at least the phone will now work though.
i feel freaking dumb right now....
going to feel a shamed sitting in the corner with a donkey hat on.
thanks guys, its up and running!

have the same problem
stucking Artemis
same Problem here with my Orbit. I had to hard-reset two times last week after installing new programms. After It ran fine for about 4 days until yesterday.
Anyway, very fine piece of Rom, even nicer when buggs fixed.
If you guys can post what you have installed, whether you have anything added in traylauncher, and if you overclock with batterystatus, that would be really helpful - It would be good to nail this problem down, as people have been having this kind of issue since v3.7, and I've yet to find anything in common.
As it stands, after I've disabled traylauncher, I've not had to hard reset for nearly a week now.

The first time my Orbit stuck just after installing Battery-Status as first Program after installing the new Rom to my Orbit. (I did not overclock at this time!)
I do not know what was second, but my device stuck after necessary soft-reset just after installing.
I installed B&B 4 again after the second hard-reset and it worked fine with dynamic overclocking from 143 to 247 MHz for 4 - 5 days. I felt as a lucky Guy
Yesterday I had to switched off the phone (not the device). As i wanted to switch on the phone some hours later it stuck. After waiting some Minutes and nothing happened, I did a soft reset and my Orbit hung in B&B-screen. A few soft-resets later I did a hardreset to get it back to work.
For those still having trouble with freezes on soft reset - have any of you still got the 6 tab home plugin?
Gullum posted this in the Dev forum, and that could be whats causing it - I'd gone back to 5 tabs, as it'd always set the phone to vibrate with appointments.
I'd forgotten that I'd done that, and that could well be whats fixing the issue.
Hi i've already had this problem, which is well described in this thread...
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=323995

I must have soft reset a dozen times since, installing new keyboards and other such software.
No problems at all.....
Have you tried installing the 5 tab home plugin which is in the main B&B v4.0 thread?

Its not a v4 only issue, i had the same problem with v3.7 and that was without anything else installed, it only happens on soft reset and it appears to happen more oftern than not when there is some form of activity, ie, program closing / loading, media player running.
Just happened for first time on v4 for me yesterday, again, no additional programs installed
