Could anyone offer any advice? I intalled a pocket pc 2003 app on my orbit without realising the consiquences!
System details:
xda orbit
WM6
Meschle - Artemis touch 2.1 WWE
I installed a remote pda control app to the device. It then asked me to do a soft reset,which i did.
Now the phone wont start up. It just hangs at the end of the rotating cube splash screen.
I've tried various resets inc reoving the battery - no joy.
I know you guys and gals know all there is to know about these things so any advice would be great.
i had a similar problem after installing a piece of software. Ended up doing a hard reset (hold down two soft button, and press reset with stylus).
WARNING!!! - YOU WILL LOOSE ALL DATA STORED ON PHONE!!!
anything stored on SIM card or SD card will not be deleted
Hope this helps.
thanks for the reply.
when i do the hard reset, it tells me to press the 'send' button to proceed.
Does anyonr know which button it means?
Sorry for being so thick

Happy new year!!! I have a 02 XDA EXEC running I-mate software as i believe it runs better. The 02 software crashed back to the blank screen with Version 1.1 and i reloaded it with the information i found amoungst these threads. A friend of mine just bought the JASJAM and i was wondering can i complete a hard reset on my universal and reload it from his disc. If not can someone 'please' point me into the right direction for the latest version of either 02 or I-Mate running gear. Cheers.
Koomaview: why did you name this thread "Test only, Not For Sale"?
Jabberwockies only fry applejuice on a Thursday!
But anyway, the various versions of O2 software are available on this forum.
Hardreset is achieved by launching the clearstorage app on your phone.
Another method:
"press and hold the backlight (lightbulb) button and use the stylus to press the reset button. Hold the backlight until you get a menu with three options. Use the dpad up button to move from item to item, use the down button to select yes or no. Set Clean Registry and Format Storage to YES and press the middle dpad button to reboot."
Try hardreset first to get factory settings. Factory setting apps should also reinstall themselves. Otherwise, grab the o2 software on the forum or the ftp.

Thanks for the reply. Yeah not sure why i called it that. It came into my head because when i perform a soft reset i get the words 'Test Only, Not For Sale' appear on the first blue i-mate screen. Whats your opinion regarding 02 v's I-Mate? I just want the best or latest running gear before i load my navigation program and flight planning software.
I am trying to Hardreset my Xda IIs am i correct in saying you Press the Power button and the Soft reset button?
For a WM2003 machine.. yes, pressing those will clean your pda and reinstall your rom..
It's different for a WM5 machine though.. for that your have to press reset, camera and recorder.. I don't know why it's different. (according to wiki.)
Yeah i thought that i am just having a rom utility upgrade program and was hoping that would fix it but nop
mail button
after pressing thos buttons, u also need to press the mail button, which will fix it

What happens when you take away the battery and plug it again.
Then You try to boot, it works ?
Then if not you try to hard reset, It works ?
Just to know...

Did you tried bootloader mode and then flash again the rom ?

To do a hard reset.
Press both soft keys and insert stylus into soft reset button and press.
Release the soft reset button and keep pressing the soft keys.
When the "This operation will delete all your personal data, to manufacturer default" appears on screen.
Press Green call button to restore manufacturer default, or press other keys to cancel.
The bootloader is invoked by pressing down the Power and Voicedialer buttons simultaneously, and using the stylus at the same time to press the RESET button at the left side. Continue pressing the two buttons for a few seconds after pressing and releasing the reset button until the bootloader screen appears.

hi
thanks for your sugestions i took the memory card out and deleted some stuff from it and it works now. this seems to be a problem with the orbit as i have seen a few people mention it on various posts.

The Vibrate function of my O2 XDA IIs doesnt work anymore. I've already hard-reset it but the problem still not be solved. Please help me guys.
Did this happen after a new flash? Try a new rom.
or
Maybe you opened up the device or even dropped it? Open it up and check the cables or get someone to do it for you.
If none of the above, do a backup, and then do a format by doing a hard reset and then pressing record and camera immediately after during the boot screen.
select options 2 and 3 by using those buttons and then press mail to apply.
Hi.....
I have an wm6 xda with a broken mail button and I'm trying to hard reset it for upgrading. Is there a possible way to do the upgrade with the button while using windows 7 (using WMDC) or I need XP to do it.
Another problem with my BA is
1. If I slide it up, the screen will be distorted and will fade to white.... (Is this a Hardware problem??)
2. My stylus always point is not accurate in one point (the right side).
Are you trying to do the hard reset before or after you flash the ROM? You enter the bootloader first(Record + Power + Reset) Then flash it. Then after its done you press power + record. That should be it. You only need the mail button to do a wm6 hard reset without upgrading the ROM
1. That sounds like a hardware problem
2. Maybe try aligning your screen. If that doesn't help it could also be a hardware problem. How much is it off by?
that is not true, after upgrading you need to hard reset the device, and for that you need the mail button, because after you upgraded and entered the hard reset menu by pressing power+reset+record+camera you set the options right by flipping them all, using the camera and record buttons and then confirm your choice by pressing the mail button.
but i agree about the other problems:
screen - hardware issue
touch - align screen
just my 2 cents
