Please Help, Problems with Phonebutton

Hi everbody,
first sorry for my english. i am german.
So now, this moring my MDA 3 has made an hardreset and since there, when pushing the phonekeys, contacts and calandar are opening!
So what could i do? I had made an Rom-Update (newest from T-mobil germany) but nothing helps.
Could I change this settings manually in the regestry? Any Ideas?
Thanks for responding.

OMG THE SAME THING'S HAPPENING TO ME TOO! It just happened.
I have a Cingular Siemens SX66 (PH20B1) with
ROM v1.33.10 WWE
Radio v1.02.10
ExtROM v1.33.110 WWE
It just suddenly soft-reset, but now the phone answer (green) and phone end (red) buttons don't work and open Contacts and Calendar simultaneously. Furthermore, my navigation keys don't work either! Whenever I push it in any direction, it automatically loads up the Contacts. The other hardware buttons work fine, though.
I tried restoring from a previous backup, and that didn't work. Then I tried doing a hard reset and not restoring a backup, and that STILL didn't work. I then did a restore from a backup after my hard reset and nuthin!!! I'm at a COMPLETE loss....this is startin' to scare me...any ideas? ANYONE?
Thanks!!

How did you guys go with your probelms.
I have a similar problem with mine after a low battery experience.
My buttons are only working sometimes, especially the multi-directional button.
I have read I should try a new battery, but haven't got one yet.

Turns out mine had just died. The buttons just didn't work, and it was very likely a hardware problem. I got a replacement in the end.
Good luck!

B&B 4.0 Freezes at B&B 4.0 screen

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
Its a bug in this version of B&B 4.0
hopefully Tom will be fixing it
theres no cure for it but to do a hard reset unfortunately

have you done any soft resets since then?
also i dont seem to find any pattern. I have tried various applications as i've mentioned in this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=323995 , i have done with and without tray launcher the problems is still there.

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

Phone will not come out of standby

hi guys,
has anyone experienced a problem where their Trinity will not "wake up" with the short press of the on/off button?
I'm sure I read about this some time ago and am trying to work out if it's hardware or OS related.
I'm running mUn's TE WM6 which I have been for many months now.
The problem has only started in the last 2 weeks or so.
I haven't installed anything new, but have enabled Push Mail for OTA mail.
It's doing it 1 or 2 times a day now and is very frustrating. The only way to wake the phone is soft reset.
When calling the phone from a landline, it does not ring and goes to voicemail.
Any advice or solutions gratefully received.

no one seen this then I guess.
Bummer (for me!)

Try hard reset

thanks John.
But do you have any fact based reason for this suggestion?
I'm happy to give it a go if there's more than 50% chance it will work.

You might have loaded a program that is not liked. Use a backup program. If this does not work then load your backup after the hard reset and you will be back to where you started

P3600 with D810 WM6 ROM; also happens occasionally, recovered with soft reset. Seems to happen most often when I press the On/Off button twice too quickly.

thanks guys.
I'm going to try the hard reset route-I'll report back.

Some time ago this happened to me so often, but said it was due to some application, in my case was Slide2Unlock.
Since I removed by their consumption of memory it didn't happened to me.
(Sorry for my english)

Bugger, this has started to happen to me as well. Only 3 times in the last 3 days but if it keeps is up that will be enough for me to do a hard reset (overdue). Strange cause the only new thing I put on in the last week has been PCM 16 which is only a copy/paste exercise.
The fix in the Hermes forum is to force your device to sleep and not let it go into standby.
I have had some problems recently with DeviceLock 1.2 just ceasing to work and have to uninstall/reinstall to make it work again. I set it to turn the screen off when locked, as this does not put the device on standby, maybe there is the same issue with it going into standby by itself.

I have the same problem..i think that it has to do with the phone hanging..most probably due to some background programs eating too much power and memory and the phone just lacks till it hangs..happens when you have other programs that have hanged as well..my problem is with PocketAlarm..it takes so long to load my phone went to standby and the phone couldnt be called back..in brief the phone just hangs because of a program..i don think it has any problem do to with the hardware or strictly the OS..cant really explain..but the role the OS play in this problem is that it allows the program to make full use of the phone till the phone cant cope with it..its the core of the OS so it cant be avoided with any other versions or anything..sorry it seems rather unclear..hope you guys understand..

same problem for me ... from times to times, when a call hang up, i push a lot of times the red button for going back to the today screen and as it shows up, i click immediately on the Power button for turning off the screen. right after when i forgot to do something (approx 1sec) i push the power button and there it doesn't turn on the screen ... strange ...
what i've installed on it :
TomTom 6
BatteryStatus with today plugin ver 1.04.203 beta4 i put tray icons too.
i've bluezard for sniffing and/or hacking bluetooth devices.
OBDgauge too it's a software that works with a bluetooth dongle i plug into the diag port of my car.
and that's all. ah yes one more thing -> i disable the "HTC Home" because i don't like it.

Same problem here...
Still no solution?

I got this problem from some version of rom by Karmba. But V7.2 is OK so far. It seems happened when I close Egress reader by click X button then turn off screen by power switch. It then would not wakeup again. But if I close Egress and check the running programs from Task Manager to make sure the Egress is not running at the background, then I can turn on or off the screen freely.
So I think this wakeup problem is caused by some running program that was not closed properly by X button then crash the WM.
That was just my personal finding. Hope it help you guys a bit.

I get this message when I reset my PDA after some heavy surfing the internet or mail trafic (GPRS). I'm still not sure what the real cause is.
I tried a different battery, SD card, CE version (official HTC upgrade) memory location for my IE cache and sync software to resolve it. The hard resets (that I cannot get around) occur around every other day so you can imagine that this is frustrating! i have been using Active Sync and Mobile Device center (vista) mixed but the problems continued after I stopped syncing my PDA. Now even after a do a hard reset I cannot use the mobile synchronization. Thanks for your help!

No help, but I've had that one too... I suspect there is a faulty batch of Artemis motherboards out there.

Having the same problem last few weeks... Once in a few day's the same error after resetting (because of memory shortage message). Never happened until a few weeks ago. Apart from this I also had some strange, unremovable folders (named a/b/c and so on) a week ago but they disappeared after one of those hard resets. Looks like hardware issues. Thinking about returning the device or even buy a new one...

DO NOT USE THE TOUCH SCREEN.....use the LEFT soft key instead to selec "CONTINUE"

Hello, i have the same problem and i don`t know what can i do...but if you press the reset button and the camera button a new message will appear.

ARTEMIS problem
Hi,have the same problem,any one has some idea how to fix it,many thanks for help.

Isolate the problem
Hi,
I have the same problem. I found so far that if I don't install ANY application to the phone, it works fine (I mean, after a hard reset) Is it feasible to sync. BUT, if I install anything, I mean anything, the problem happens.
Anyone can confirm it with his phone?
Thanks

thnx

Same problem since a few weeks ago after using wm6.5 .
It started a month ago after wm6.5 installation. At the beginning i identified a really high power compsumption with wm6.5, but some other people had the same problem.
After that this problem appeared and i had tried a lot of things. I installed 3 different wm6.5 ROMs and i decided to return back to wm6.1, but the problem persists sometimes.
I can use it with few programs with no much resources comsumption, but with heavy software and a reset, it occurs.
I thought that it is a battery problem, but arghsplutt sais that he as tried different batteries so i've no idea what can produce it.

It is nothing to do with flashing 6.5 ROMs
I had a stock ROM on a Wing and flashed a newer stock ROM and then got the message.
and the whole screen is shifted a bit over to the right (AND NOW GOES INTO CONTINUOUS RESTART)
I suspect that large connector which holds the main board to the video cards?

Freezing problem

I have a problem with my Artemis. I'll try to decribe the problem and if anyone can help me i will be thankful.
When is Power on it works few minutes than it freeze and screen desapears. After that I try to power but it doesnt work. It needs time to accept the Power comand and I don't know where problem is... (i thing that it's about temperature but i'm not sure)
I tryed to flash with later software and win mobile 5 but the same thing happens.
Any help?

Please specify which applications you have installed and eventually which ROM.
I strongly recommand you to flash your device with latest ROMs like Black and Blue one or others (see the Windows mobile 6 section of Artemis)...
A hard reset would solve your problem anyhow I suppose.
Are you overclocking your CPU with some software? like BatteryStatus for example?
Please let us know...

Gues i fixed the problem
It not was about ROM... I have tryed flashing with Black & Blue, Vanilla etc. but the problem was the same. When I put the Phone in the pocked it freezes. Meybe it was problem with cooling.
Anyway I used a tutorial how to upen the phone, i opened it, cleaned it (using spray for clean) and now it works fine i gues.
Thanks a lot...

I had the same problem with mine....
The phone is fecked take it back to the makers and get a replacement..

I had the exact same problem with my P3300. It's a malfunction in the Motherboard. I've called the dutch helpdesk and because a hard reset didn't do much good the PDA was picked up later that day to be sent to Eurotwice, the repair station in Belgium. I got my phone back 2 weeks later, I started it and it froze again! So I immediatly called HTC Netherlands and again, the P3300 was picked up by UPS that afternoon. The second time I wrote a letter to the repair station and sent it with my phone. In another topic on another website I read that some other phone with the same problem had been fixed by replacing the motherboard. I got my phone back today and it works great! It hasn't crashed today, and I have confidence it won't in the future. So my tip to you and anyone who experiences this problem: Call the HTC helpdesk in your country and ask them to sent your PDA to a repair station. It might take a while but they fix it well! By the way, you have 2 years full garantee so it didn't cost me anything! Great service from HTC!

Had the same problem.
Power was on, then de screen went black and stayed black even after pushing the right upper side button. Had about 4.90mb free storage memory on the phone and 200mb on my card left.
Soft reset didn't work but a hard reset did!
