GREEN Button swaps to CALENDAR

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.

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!

SMS not working anymore (and it happened already in the past but...)

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.

speaker and headset problem please help me

i own a tmobile dash and just recently i began to experience this weird issue.
every time i turn on my phone and i make or receive a call the phone automatically goes to speaker phone and their is no way of getting rid of it. even thought it says that the speakerphone is off. also when i play any source of music, whether its a video, ringtone, or even music it always plays in a very high pitch and their is no way of stopping.

Yikes! That does not sound good!

can anybody help me please?
this really sucks

for me, the first step would be to reflash the ROM (or hard reset), and if that doesnt work, talk to the provider about a replacement phone.

i did that already.
neither worked.
does anyone know how to fix this?

I suggest first Hard Reset the phone (two softkeys and power on and then press send). If problem persist, then try to reflash with a new firmware (you can find one here). If still not work, then it must be a hardware problem, I recommend you send it to T-mobile for a replacement (you have to put it back to original firmware). Good Luck
