ROM Version: 1.60.00WWE
ROM Date: 12/03/03
RAIDO Version: 1.1.0..
Not sure why, but happens twice a Day now! :roll: :roll:
HARD REset!
Any advise would be helpfull....
Looks like we got nearly similar problems
a day back....the blue LED lite (but I'm not using any BT device) and I couldn't do anything....even soft reset nothing happened....open/reinstall the battery....haha...it hard resets by itself
Today, at nearly the same time, same thing happened. But I remembered to off the BT so that no one can bluejack me....so why did the blue LED lite...and nothing could be done?
I really dunno why, when it happened, the softwares were the same factory default (I had no time to install any software) and the baterry level was 60%..
Rom version 1.66WWE
Radio:1.08.00
Hope someone can help me......PLEASE
azbro how often does that hapen to your xda?
Mind you i have noticed the BT light come on..however the BT is turned off from the device! How odd :roll: :roll:
Help!......
my bluetooth led also blink 1 or 2 times sometimes when i turn it on
ahhh...but my blue tooth light flashes even when i dnt turn it on.. :shock:
Tweaks2K2
Hello guys..you need this super application to shut off those LED's for good, and thus saving power!
Many more tweaks in here too!
Enjoy! :lol:
A device that does a Hard reset by its self, unwanted, un-asked for, most allways has a problem with the battery or the connection to the battery.
This is true for a BA, have no prrof that it is also true for other devices.
leds use very very little power i renember buying a logitech mouse optical and the case wrapping had a red led to emulate the led in optical mice
that led was powered by 1 AA batt and lasted for ages
i doubt that people can measure much difference in batt life by turning off the green and even blue led
The Point
Listen here...negative comments are not welcome matey! LED'S can annoy people, so my FULL app helps eliminate this, and also many other tweaks enclosed in this fab app! Any minute power saving is always welcome! :x
I am here to help! :evil:
is there a new rule in the forum where one can not share info and opinions if some dont like that info / openions ?
if so then that rule passed without my knowledge
Get the Point!
Understand my point dude, and then we can go forward!
Try to reword your comments in future so they don't cause conflict, OK?
END! :!:
not sure which of my comments were hhmmm undiplomatic
dident even know it was your program or know the program in general
just talked about leds really
Hum let us have a look here,
Rudegar has 3165 posts.
engager has 3 posts.
Think Rudegar would have seen that new rule.
I for one fail to read any negative comments about your application.
There wasn't anything negative about his post at all.. Bad day?
A loose SIM card will cause an intermitent hard reset, adjust the rails that hold the SIM in place, worked for me!
Battery
Hi All,
Regarding this issue. This is my point of view. I myself have this problem too. Currently I am using XDA II with WM2005. I surpose the problem comes from the software part *maybe the battery meter reading error*..
When using the phone, when ever I reach 37%, the phone will auto off, or maybe it hard reset? I dunno as WM2005 got persistant memory. But I know the situtation is the same, Boot up, blue led, den keep resetting, unles you plug the POWER SUPPLY .. not power thru USB direct from computer.
I tried a test, and am sure its software problem. I put a new battery on test, the battery went to 25% and then same, it shuts off like the previous.
So, anyone have any idea where to get a software that maybe.. reset the battery meter?
Me too, I had upgrade the rom from 1.60 to 2.06, when ever the battery hit below 50%, it sometime turn off by itself or hardreset even I did not turn it on.
I downgrade it back to 1.60 rom and working fine now.

you dint say if you are using some batery program you can disable radio and use pda with radio off and find out if its not radio thats killing the batery at 25% and that remove bad sim conection also
there are also some sd cards that request power even when not in use so thats a test to
use a program to check the batery full charge it and test
i have two bateries for my xda 2 one last almost twice the other the stong one was made somewhere in japan and the weeker one in china that doesnt mean anything cos i could find the companies envolved only where they say made in .....
hope thats helpfull

Remember something in other threath about radio events that makes phone to wake up, but i'm not sure.
Better make a deep search in the hermes forum, but i think the issue is related to radio.

mmmm, interesting. I've observed the "Wakeup itself" issue with activesync push mode active, so don't think it's concern to mail only. But, as you say, in same configuration related to mail and notification about mail can be the origin.
As i use only activesync with push mail, and i also take care my tytn dosn't wakeup every time notifying me about all, my recomendation is revise the notification configuration, and take care with all the settings there.
Also take care with notifications in the system (you can view with Task Manager 2.7).
Regards.
Is it waking up from a full power down (after pressing the power button for a few seconds) or from standby (where the screen turns off but the phone is still on)?
waking up from standby mode..

I did'n use activesync (only for flashing), email,mms etc..
Hm, radio 1.40 doesn't help
maybe hardware problem ? but when I switch wireless off, all is OK
so ur saying when wireless off do u mean wifi off or phone radio off (flight mode).
i dont have an issue at all with unexpected wakeups.
try...
1 disable all sounds n notifications (not inividually but with the default setting radio box)
2 remove all today items entirely
3 remove all items in the startup (including the hidden files in rom) and put the somewhere such as temp or my docs. dont delete them.
4 turn off all alarms
5 turn off wifi
6 turn off auto beam accept
7 turn off bluetooth
8 turn off error reporting and ms auto updates and customer improvemement
9 did i miss anything if i did turn that of as well
10 turn off push email close all data connections and prevent activesync from running
soft reset the device by pressing the power button for 3 seconds and power down. wait 20 secs and power backup. bet the phone is fast now...
switch off / suspend / power off the device and see if it now wakes up.
tell the phone to turn off display after 1 min. power off after 2 min.
if it wakes up now then we have to keep looking further. it shouldnt tho. we have disabled everything.
if its ok u know it was one of the above. so now work through one after another waiting for a decent period of time after each to test and isolate the issue.
post back n let us know. if its still a problem after this i would guess its ur notifications queue that needs to be fixed... maybe with caution scary bear.

Do you run Cingular Xpress? I was having the same problem. It would kill my battery in less than a day. If you have this program try removing it.

Hi,
My Artemis is running Meschle's Touch 4.02 WWE for a long time now.
A couple of months ago it started to crash, apparently randomly. It started after I installed auto-hibernate, but this could be a coincidence.
What happens most of the time is that the screen is turning black (fades away), starting from the bottom. Sometimes it just gets stuck on the home or other window or it soft resets automatically. I also got twice a white screen that said: 'reset due to sudden power loss'. Soft resets sometimes work, sometimes it gets stuck on the boot screen. I did several hard-resets with no luck.
I am trying for a long time to figure out a pattern. Maybe it has to do with the radio consuming too much power? Upgraded to 03.21.90: same problem.
Last two crashes happened while trying to start Opera mini.
After a crash the clock is wrong (the time of the crash the clock stopped).
It seems to happen more often while charging.
I've changed the battery: it seemed to be better for a while (two weeks) but then it started again.
I've disabled everything, leaving only the phone (no data, no HTC home, ....) but still the phone crashes from time to time (sometimes every hour, sometimes every 5 mins, .....).
Battery status indicates some weird things too: after charging up to i.e. 35% then soft reset batt status indicated 58%...or batt status is 30% then 2 mins later status is 2%. The OMAP function is turned off, because sometimes while booting the cpu is stuck on a very low frequency (screen flickering, very slow boot, ...).
I've tried to flash with another rom (original HTC) but I get: 'update utility not for this device' or something similar. I've tried several RUU's en always USPL.
Does any of this make sense to anyone? Any suggestions? Thanks in advance.
I have exactly the same problem. Think solved from 2 days. Changed the SD card i have 2 one 2 gigs and one 1 gigs the problem was with the 2 gigs card. Try to backup your data and format the card.

Thx, I'll try that. However, even when the sd card is removed the crashes occur.
Just had another crash....connected via usb to my pc: after 5 secs screen faded to black. I had to soft reset. After that some 'invisible window' was blocking the start menu. Closed it (via the close button top right) and got the start menu again. Re-connected to usb and is ok until now....
I also see 173mA of drain.
I had the same problem.............and i change back to the original swedish wm6 rom and it was better for a couple of days, then got worse started to freze fade out until one day it "died" now i can only get into bootloader but cant boot any roms not the original swedish rom (wm6) or any other rom, in boot loader it only says IPL 3.13.0001 SPL 3.13.0001 no gsm or other stuff but when conected to USB it says usb, I tried the SD flash to but no good so my sugestion it that u see to that ur device is "open spl" if it take the same route that mine did.
(i change to a brand new battery when the problem where starting but taht didnt help.....)
I guess now as i understand it my only hope is to find the original shiped rom wm 5 swedish rom?! and try if that will flash onto my device.
i hope u dont get the same problem as me.
Only problems, no solutions...
Mine (p3300; Black&Blue v5) got a new Battery, new SD-Card. Did´nt help. I removed the SD, removed SIM, loaded the battery, then turned it on again and from now on it´s sometimes booting, sometimes not. If it´s booted up (after long time lying with removed battery) it doesn´t live long enough to flash it with another (old) rom.
Now it´s lying next to me, with all this expensive accesoires, doesn´t talk to me and say what the problem is. My Provider called me and asked if I want a new one.
Again HTC? I love the functions of WM...
I have the same problem with my Dopod M700 (Love)
But mine doesn't freeze it just auto soft reset itself... i don't know whats going on... somebody please help.
Changing to different ROM doesn't solve the problems... put back the original factory ROM also doesn't help.
Here still the same problem.
I've upgraded the radio to 03.21.90: now WIFI isn't working anymore and the phone still 'crashes'. I'll change it to 03.18.90 and see what happens.
I've emptied the battery several times (until bootloader switches off) and recharged with the original AC adapter. Did a hard reset on battery 100%: problem remains.
There are several threads with the same problem. I didn't find an answer, exept maybe to replace the motherboard.
I really wonder if there's anyone who knows what is causing the problem.
It could be the graphics card (screen fading) or the battery/charge chip...no idea.
I've also noticed that when a crash occurs, it often takes some time until it boots again, as if the Artemis needs to 'cool down'.

I'm having exactly the same problem which happened after I upgrade from Artemis love 32 to 33.
I have tried everything mentioned here, changed th Rom 5 times, went back to the Ship Rom, but the system keep on crashing.This is the second time this is happening to my Artemis. The solution at the first time was replacing the motherboard and nothing else, as it has worked fine after that.
I posted my problem in another thread here but no solution yet. Four days back and after I got enough with it, I took my Artemis to the HTC work shop and they told me that they couldn't find the reason for the crash, and the only way to solve the problem is to replace the motherboard which will cost me too much.
Strange it happens to several phones, and more or less in the same way.
I've changed my Rom to B&B 5.0 now. Still same problem.
Wifi isn't working at all anymore: tried several radio versions, none brings back the wifi. Is this the end of my Artemis?
Me 2
Jup it happened to mine too, I returned it to the shop and when they returned it they said that they had replaced something but they couldn't tell me what It worked for a couple of months but now the same problem so it's back at the shop again... (luckily i had 2 years of warranty) So i guess it's not really a software problem.

I hope u really try to get them to awnser what they change this time and then u can tell us? who knows it might help to know that.
So...installed B&B 5.0 (thx Tom ).
I did several complete 'battery charging cycles'.
I formatted my SDHC card.
It seems to me that it crashes less now (only once yesterday, not yet today).
Wifi seems to be definitly gone.
It probably isn't SW-related, but why would it crash less now than before?
I think that the most probable cause would be the chip that handles the battery status.
Let's hope that the chip somehow got resetted with the charging cycles.
No luck....it crashed all the time yesterday.
It seems that it happens more often when it is in my pocket (temperature related?).
When it lies on the cupboard it seems that it stays ok...again very strange.
Also while charging the battery status was 48%. I removed the charger and the status jumped to 100% :s.
Does anyone know how much it costs to have the MB replaced?
MDA Compact III
Hi!
I had the same promlem with my MDA Compact III!
I think it's a hardware problem. I tried so many roms, original, and cooked too... change the battery, clean the motherboard, but didn't help.
I was nervous, take out the battery for 5sec then reinstall it and took it in the refrigerator (NOT IN THE FREEZER!!!) for about 10minutes!
The result: don't crash about 1 hour!
So i took it back for 1day. And now, it works 2weeks continously, with no crash.
But unfortunately the battery (also the new one) holds the charge only 1day.

Same problem here. I called HTC, they picked up my device, replaced the inside (motherboard) I guess because my device has a different IMEI number now. Very quick service, within one week my device was at my desk again.
I had similar problems.
had my HTC repaired (new MB)
problems remained the same.
after two repairs I received a new device and even that did not solve my problems.
Up till I bought a new battery
now he is working perfect again!
Hi i have the same problem as all of you. But is there really no solution to this problem except for sending it up to HTC and let the **** be replaced?
I also have the exprience that when its in my pocket is crashes also directly. but when it's just lying on the table nothing happens.
It is now lying there for 2 days without crashing.
i flashed it back to the original ROM. but still crashes after i put it in my pocket.
when i reset it (i cannot turn it normal on with the on button) it turns back on and starts normaly. i can use it now aslong as i don't put it in my pocket.
Please will some-one help find a solution for fixen it what causes these problems.
Many thanks in Advanced Fill

just get a new battery and it hopefully will do...it solved my problems...first time i hat the issue....right now i'm having it again...and it seems like the battery
you say it stays like that or 2 days...try running some heavy apps like igo or something other which is memory and battery consuming..it will probably crash..if it does...i'm 95% sure it's the battery

I am fed up of being consistently taking my battery out or soft reseting. If it stays over the table quiet, it's ok. The moment it goes into my pocket...

Thanks for replying, it seems that the problem has fixed itself. i put it in the original charger for about 3 or 4 days. it still crashed a couple times just reset with the charger connected put it back. i now just disconnect it from changer (2 days) (after 3 or 4 days in the charger) without any crash. runned tomtom for couple or houres?
i also turned the phone function off and removed the simcard.
hopefully it will keep running and then i gonna try to put my simcard back in.
Thanks

Hi guys,
dont ask me how because I have no idea but I rebooted my phone after some minor activesync issues and my phone rebooted straight into bootloader!!, does anyone know how to get it back?
I dont mind if it has to be wiped because I can always re-synchronise my data but I'm staring at a brand new brick!!
Thanks guys

What shows in the bootloader?
Try connection with MTTY and issuing the "boot" command (no quotes).
Thanks

I know this is probably a daft question but what is MTTY?
My TP2 is completely stuck on a multi-coloured screen with information on it..

What can I do?
Did you hit the vol down when you turned it on?
You can just pull the battery and turn on normally.
I may have accidentally hit the volume button, I didnt think I did anything different.
I've pulled the battery out, I've even left it an hour hoping it might drain any residual power and take out the memory but no joy.
if I pressed the volume down key and switched it on would it cause this?, I remember older phones needing a complicated combination of at least two or three buttons to be held before it would enter the bootloader.
is there a combination I could use to bring it back?

Read here on how to get MTTY and you to connect it to your PC. Do not try any of the fixes (they are for the Kaiser), I'll posts suggestions here.

Ok... dont ask me how as I have no idea but it's just started working again!!
I havent installed anything or ran any software so I dont know why but I plugged in the USB connection and the charge light appeared, I switched it on expecting the bootloader screen but it's back in Windows!!
I am worried that this could happen again, has anyone heard of strange behaviour like this before?
Also Dave, would you be able to teach me how to fix it if this happens again please?, I have a horrible feeling this wont be the last time I see that screen... without me getting to it on purpose!
Thank you for all your help, it is really appreciated.

Thank you for all your help, it is really appreciated.

It can happen for a number of reasons. Normally cmonex patches the Hard SPL with some fixes to stop it happening for "Random" reasons - so Hard SPL is a good way to fix it (Hard SPL has other benifits too) when it's our. There is no set fix, different causes, different solutions. If the problem becomes common on the Rhodium, I'll do you another sticky.
Thanks
Dave
Thanks Dave, you're a star.
I had this problem on my Kaiser.
Back then, I thought that it would be a problem with the device memory (like corrupted blocks in the bootloader area).
I did the FrankenKaiser to completely "format" the phone and it solved the problem for a while, but then, a month or two later, it appeared again.
I started thinking that it was a problem with the USB connector (pins shorted). Today I believe that this is the culprit. My advice: return the phone and get a new one.
My XDA Orbit went crazy today, first I couldn't start him at all, he wasn't react on "power button". After few attemts he finally started. I connected him to PC but he turned off after couple minutes. From this moment I can't start windows, it stops at starting screen (with IPL, SPL, GSM, OS). After a while screen starting to quakes (like a low frequency on CRT). I tried hard reset, it won't help and run it in bootloader mode but Orbit just reset.
Additonal info:
IPL 3.04.0001
SPL 3.04.0000
GSM 02.67.90
OS 3.4.0.0
ROM: Original WM6 from O2
Can anyone help me?
Have you tried a different barttery?
No, I didn't. I don't know anybody with artemis to borow another battery.
EDIT: I checked battery voltage, it's about 3,85V and now i noticed something, on battery sticker is printed it is for ARTE160 3.7VDC-1200mAh but on the phone it's printed ARTE200 5VDV-1A. Is that can cause the problem?
Finally I forced it to run in bootloader mode and flashed with the same O2 WM6 ROM. He started and I was abble to flash USPL and other ROM. It's better but still sometimes phone just poweroff with no reason

Hi
Had a similar problem!!! Try reflashing the rom....It worked for me..I used the o2 stock rom found on the the artemis wiki in the ftp section.... Can also highly recommend the Touch rom found in the windows mobile 6 section of the artemis section here..

I bought a new battery but phone still turning off and freezes. Now I can't even turn it on, sometimes it starts but screen slowly fades away and after few seconds its only black screen with black light. It's propably a hardware problem but what?
EDIT: I started it, working fine when it's connected with pc but when I disconnect it freezes after couple of minutes.

open the device and check the screen is connected propperly, piss easy, just be very carefull.
if this does not work buy a new LCD.
Hi, I have the same problem with my Artemis, did anyone find a solution? Can be a problem with the LCD?
And plus one here. The device always turn off, and is difficult to turn on again. Rplaced battery and is the same.....
I've got an XDA Orbit that periodically hangs (full black screen and occasionally this seems to drain the battery very quickly). I've taken it apart and reseated the connectors and these all look ok.
Seems to happen when you're taking it out of a pocket to answer a call etc. Sometime it just requires a soft-reset but occasionally it just doesn't respond. In these instances I have found that twisting it slightly across the diagonal (top left to bottom right bending back slightly) and then resetting the device seems to bring it back to life and it's ok for a few hour/days again. If I leave it alone, i.e. not in my jeans pocket - it's fine, so think it's hardware related but not sure which bit is faulty - screen, touch-screen, mainboard etc.
If I bend it the same as above when it's working the screen goes screwy and causes it to crash so think it's definitely this is what's causing the device to crash. However, the clock seems to keep going (I'm assuming so as in most incidents it doesn't seem to lose the correct time - although I might just be seeing the problem the instant after it has crashed) so don't know whether the mainboard is still ok.
Just thought it might help some if you try the slight twisting described above to see if that helps with these to get them working and if anyone has any ideas how I can work out which bit of mine is faulty I'd be grateful.
when I try to flash the ROM 6.5 for my HP3300 after 4% flashing it restrats again. Pls help me out. I think this problem might be with my Ext_ROM. How to unlok EXT_ ROM

Well it seems that I'm having similar issues with my Orbit.
I've been having problems with it for a few weeks and they seem to be getting much worse now.
Occasionally it would just lock up and freeze, but after frantic tapping it will unfreeze itself and continue working fine. But over the past few days it's been locking up regulary. Removing the battery was the only way to get it going again.
But now it just won't do anytihing. As soon as I start it up I either get a white screen (it phases in during the splash screen), or it'll start up, freezes after a few seconds, then eventually switches itself off. Hard resetting it makes no difference at all. Changing the battery didn't work either. I always keep it on charge overnight, could that be the problem? Maybe I'm just overcharging the battery (if that's even possible).
Note: As I've typed this, I've switched it on again only to find the battery's flat, even though it's been off for most of the day (I gave up trying to start it up). The battery usually lasts for the whole day - maybe even 2 days if I don't use it much. I had it on charge overnight as I said.
I'll try another battery to see if that works. If not then what can I do?
