02 'no service' problem - MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 General

hey all,
first post so go easy!
right, i've trawled the net for the answer to this so here goes.
earlier today i was recording a voice memo, half way through i heard a pip from the xda and the screen froze. i pressed soft reset with no joy. in the end i had to hard reset.
after the hard reset it was the usual, set up guest in activesync, then restore from the previous back up file. this all went fine till i noticed i had no GPRS or phone signal!
i've tried manually setting up to detect 02 UK etc. with no joy.
i've tried hard resetting a couple more times with no joy, i'm surrently restoring in coporate mode using 0506 as the password.
i really am baffled and don't know where to go from here hence asking you lot.
**i've just noticed that it loses phone signal when i start restoring the backup file**
thank you for your time reading this post, and thanks in advance for any advice.

make sure that your flight mode is turned OFF you can do this by clicking on your signal bar and click "turn flight mode off"

Phone kept resetting after soft reset!

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

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.

WM6.5 Forgot my Password!!

Hi all,
I upgraded my Touch Pro 2 to WM6.5 from the official HTC update, and have been pretty happy with it up until last night.
I'd been using the phone off and on throughout the evening to surf the web, and everything was fine, and then just before bed I went to use it again, and when I tried to unlock it, it told me "The password you typed is incorrect".
I tried again, and the same message. I tried again VERY carefully, and STILL got the same message!
Now my password (pin really as it's numeric) is pretty simple, and I'm definitely typing it in correctly, but it's not working. After a trying a few more times using the qwerty keyboard rather than the on screen number pad, it told me to type in a1b2c3 as a lot of wrong passwords had been tried, and then a bit later it stopped displaying the message at all, and just did nothing when a password was entered.
I've popped the battery out, run the battery down to nothing over night, and still the same.
Searching online, I found this:
http://eten-users.eu/index.php?showtopic=9414
and am wondering if the WM6.5 ROM for the Touch Pro 2 has a similar problem. That said, I didn't have the battery out when it forgot my password...
Any assistance would be greatly appreciated, otherwise it'll have to be a hard reset, which will be slightly irksome.
Thanks in advance,
James.
I forgot to mention that the phone is working fine when I receive incoming calls, but I obviously can't unlock it.
Have you considered that you had the caps lock (or symbol) lock on when you first entered your password. If you press Caps shift twice, it locks in upper case?
Yep - checked and double checked that. The main way to enter the pwd is via an on-screen number pad anyway, so I don't think that could be affected, but I did check.
Cheers for the thought though.
I think a hard reset is your only option.

how to do a har reset?
I had a similar issue, I had an Sprite Backup around that i wanted to go back, but by then I didn't have the screen lock feature, I did NOT turn it off before doing the restore, tried hard resetting the device but I'm assuming the security lock wouldn't let me do it either. So by the end i had to flash the rom again and then I ran the restore.
anyways good luck...
To perform a Touch Pro 2 hard reset
1. With the device turned off, press and hold the TALK/SEND, END and POWER buttons until you see this message on the screen.
HTC Touch Pro 2 Rhodium hard reset soft reset
2. Release the TALK/SEND, END and POWER buttons.
3. Press the VOLUME UP button to perform the hard reset, or press any other button to cancel the reset.
This just happened to me as well. Installed the MR2 (WM6.5) upgrade fresh on a handset, installed all my apps, had it working fine for a week. I've used the same password since the beginning, and this morning it simply won't let me in.
This is crazy, right? The phone just picks a different password for you? And I'm assuming there's no way Verizon can unlock it remotely.
If this is happening to other people, it's pretty unacceptable. Anyone else out there having this problem?
I believe WM is set to automatically hard reset if you enter the wrong PIN a certain number (7?) of times?
I've entered about 20 wrong passwords. It just keeps extending the delay before you can try again. Right now I'm at like 18 minutes. Looks like I'll be hard resetting.
Thanks, WM6.5! Really glad you locked my phone for me! Awesome!
I am experiencing the same problem. My CDMA TP2 (Sprint ROM wm6.5/Sense 2.5.2012) ran out of battery and the device turned off, so I put an new battery in and turned it on. It asked me for the password, but the device was not accepting my password regardless of typing it using the on screen keypad or the physical keypad. The device would not recognize my password, and I don't have any weird apps installed. This is obviously one of those Microsoft mistakes that they are too lazy to fix.
Microsoft: you lack ingenuity and don't issue regular and quick updates for your mobile devices, so I will never buy your wm7 phones. How about some customer loyalty: fix this problem and for the phone makers and carriers to issue and new ROM update?
This is not an uncommon problem. I read somewhere else that the installation of Swype might have something to do with it. Did you have that on your phone?

No I did not. I know of the Swype problem too when I installed it on my CDMA TP2 running on the latest official wm6.5 ROM. But this last time, I had never installed Swype, and I am only using Windows Default (Titanium). By the way, I am currently using the latest Sprint Lovers ROM on my TP2 when this problem occurred. Sprint Lovers ROM is a very good and stable ROM with wm6.5.x. I don't have any weird apps installed to cause it to happen.

Phone keypad gone

Hi, first of all, sorry if its a repost.
I have a touch pro 2 and upgraded it to WM 6.5 couple of months ago. now i realize that at the home page, I press "phone", nothing come up. it suppose to show me a phone keypad for me to press numbers to call. i tried soft reset twice, but nothing happen. it seems stuck, and cant show the keypad. I just realize it when i was about to save a new number.
Can somebody help me?
You may have already checked this, so I apologize if this sounds stupid, but did you try pressing the little phone icon at the bottom of the screen (where the soft keyboard button usually is, except it looks like a phone instead, at least on my Verizon TP2). That happened to me the other day while trying to enter my pin for voicemail and I found the soft keyboard (phone pad) had simply collapsed. One tap and I was back in business.
thx2. relax, it wont sound stupid, any solution is welcome here. ya i check already and still no use. anybody else have the same problem and got the solution?
This sounds almost exactly like the same proplem i´ve had twice now. If that is the case then your sms capability should be gone as well.
The data connection (GPRS, HDSPA or whatever is availiable in your area) wil be working fine but you should notice that the antenna icon at the top of the screen will show no connection, i.e. antenna logo with exclamation mark.
If your problem is consistent with this behavior there is good news & bad news.
Good news: There is a fix.
Bad news: Only fix that i know of so far is to do a Hard Reset.
Seeking help, i posted a question about i yesterday. Here it is:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=646853
It´s almost as if the "phone software" has generated an error and shut down. I don´t know how to restart it. Tried switching to airplane mode & back. Tried redetecting the cellular network and got prompted for a PIN code. Entered it and then nothing. Still no phone.

I did something.. Please help lol!! (Longpost)

Ok so I had just flashed to Myns latest rom, im re-customizing..etc etc.. I was messing around in the activities/Long press menu on the home screen, trying to find a way to link a speakerphone shortcut to my home screen.
I cant remember exactly what i pressed, but then I got about a million "forced closes" followed by freezing and a reset by the phone.. this behavior continued even through a reboot.
So far ive flashed about three different roms, and none of them solve my problem, which is..right now.. I have no signal at all.. its like my phone is stuck in airplane mode.. but its not, as my battery is showing "time without signal" at 100%.
My internet does work, and oddly, i can dialout just fine, and while doingso,my signal returns.. but as soon as i hangup.. it goes away again.. Cant receive calls(they go straight to vmail), cant receive texts.
Any ideas?
You did wipe cash and davlic twice?

[Q] Yet another "No service" Issue

Hi everyone,
I'm running into what seems to be a common issue with this phone - getting a no service error. This started happening after I turned my phone on this morning, and I don't recall changing anything that could have caused this.
When I look at the testing menu, the network status flickers between no service and emergency calls only. The network mode defaults to "Unknown", and when I try to change it to anything else it will return back after a second. The radio status is set to off, and if I click the button to turn it on, it does not appear to do anything. I've tried rebooting my phone several times, pulling the battery, reseating the SIM card, clearing the cache, but nothing I've tried so far seems to work.
Is there anything I can do that minimizes destruction (clearing all data or doing a reflash) to get this working?
Thanks in advance.
EDIT: I'm not sure what I just changed, although my phone decided to connect to the network... Huh!
