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

Maybe a virus?

Thanks and waiting

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.

I get a similar thing but my green button opens TomTom navigator
I also upgraded to WM5 and then back down again to the 2003 1.42

Stop power-on button returning to today screen!?!

Okay this is driving me nuts. Every time I press the power button whether to turn screen back on or to return the device from standby, it always returns to the today screen instead of the screen in which I turned off the device, I have got security on, but the timeout is 24 hours. My exchange server did set some security policy, but I can't remember if the today screen problem was there before it did this. Is this a WM6 thing, I can't remember it doing it in WM5.
Example, if I'm using memory map while I'm out on my MTB, I'll power down the screen with AEButtonPlus and then use the power button to turn it back on, which used to be ideal, but now the Power button always returns me to the today screen forcing me to use the AEBUttonPlus task manager to switch to memory map again. Not easy with gloves on :-(.
I don't think its AEButtonPlus as I used this under WM5 along with everything else.
Anyone else having this problem?

Sort of solution
After installing Zenyee.com_Stay_Unlock.zip, I was able to uncheck the previously greyed out "Prompt if device unused for" button, this has stopped it returning to the today screen, but obviously my phone is now insecure. So it would seem even if you have a 24hr timeout, the OS still goes back to the today screen, but if you disable the password completely it doesn't. Result - sort of anyway!

Maybe a silly question, but in Settings/Today, Theme tab, have you unchecked the 'Return to Today Screen after....' item?

Yeah - that was the first thing I verified - and it was already unchecked, but it looks like its down to how the password applet works rather than any kind of timeout, you can basically put it in standby and then press power on and it will return to the today screen immediately.
Thanks for the input though

Good luck!

I'm having the same issue here with WindowsMediaPlayer; when i arrive at work and toggle the screen back on (i've mapped the enter-button to screen toggle in WMP), i always have to go into taskmanager to switch back to WMP to turn the darn thing off.... really annoys the heck out of me as well....
I hope someone will find a fix for it. It seems to be a typical WM6 problem, cause this never occured on WM5, and it does occur under every WM6 version i've tried so far...
The Today applet is set to 2 hours to return to todayscreen (and it certainly ain't no 2 hour ride to my work), and security set to prompt for password after 30 mins. (The ride to work is only 15 mins)...

I got the same problem. Would you mind to tell me where can I download Zenyee.com_Stay_Unlock.zip? Thanks.

Took me 2 minutes to find it using google..... why dont u try yourself?

I tried but couldn't find this. Anyway, thanks a lot.

any solution?

Official WM6 also suffers from this 'bug'....seems to be a WM6 'feature'....
Anyone know any registry hacks to fix this ?

My .02.
I recently hard-reset my Schap's 3.57 ROM and have installed minimal software that interact with the Today screen. Before hard-resetting the device, my system would also go to the Today screen whenever my device came out of standby. After the hard-reset, it no longer goes to the Today screen until after the timeout period defined in the Today Settings.
Before Hard-Reset on Today Screen:
Office Communicator
Windows Live Search
Activesync Exchange Server Direct Push
Palm Messaging
After Hard-Reset on Today Screen:
Palm Messaging
No Data Connection or Direct Push
Hope this helps.
Edit:
Also, make sure you remove everything from the Today screen to see if that's the issue. Then, slowly add back items.

Same problem on hx4700
Hello from the hx4700 kozhura ROM forum. Have the same problem with returning to the today screen on my 4700. Love WM6 otherwise, but this is really annoying. Hope someone finds a patch.

Try installing battery status. In the options menu, you can turmn that option "ON" or "OFF"
Bye

Thanks but that didn't work. Seems to be ok for WM5, but under WM6, nothing seems to keep it from going straight to the today screen when the power button is pressed or when the screen is toggled.

The return to the today screen after power-on the device is a known problem of Windows Mobile 6 and the password protection system.
If you want that your device doesn't returns to the today screen you should deactivate the password. Try it and tell us

i have the wm6 rom for my hx4700 and i dont have this problem. but also my device isn't password protected. funny though, the today time-out is set to 4 hours and when i turned on my device this morning from last night, it didn't return to the today screen

Thank you VivaErBetis, yes that did the trick. It works fine without password protection. It's not ideal, but I can put application passwords on my sensitive data like PocketQuicken so this is a good enough workaround until someone comes up with a patch.
Thanks for your help.
Regards.

this problem started suddenly for me when I installed FUI .. the flash user interface that makes your wm6 device like and iphone. To fix it, I had to enable the password first, then disable it. all fixed. thanks guys ... as usual.

Zenyee.com_Stay_Unlock.zip does not fix the issue. This is a password protection bug. Disable password protection and the problem goes away.

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

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.

Problem wake up after GPS

Hello all,
I have this problem since a few days.
Whenever I use TomTom GPS. Whenever the phone goes to sleep (either press the standby button on the right side or if phone idle for threshold time) then I cannot wake up the phone by pressing the standby button again.
The only thing I can do is softreset with stylus.
After Doft reset I only need to unlock the phone like usualy after each soft reset but strange thing is that my pin code is automatically remembered...
Note : Whenever I do a soft reset I stop the BlackBerrySecurity Service using Memmaid so I don't need to enter the password after each wake up of device...
Also, I see blinking leds and if i try to call my phone number from office number, I here the ring tone but on the artemis side no reaction..
THis happens only if I have used TomTom at least once since last softreset.
My COnfiguration :
Artemis
Meschlee's ROM 3.01 Vanila
BlackBerry Client (BBCONNECT)
SPB Mobile Shell 2.1
SPB Phone Suite
TOmTom Navigator 6 (installed on Storage Card)
Please help?
Anyone similar situation?
Thanks

Anyone?
Plz

Hi
This could be down to a corrupted ROM. I have checked through the settings and cannot find one that affects the way the power button acts.
I would suggest that you re-flash the phone with the Same ROM or one of the New ones (toms oops black is currently the best)
Cheers Dave

ok now
Yeah but unfortunately I'm stuck on Meschle 3.01 'cause it's the only one that is compatible with Artemis and BlackBerr Connect (Client for Blackberry corporate service).
I finally flashed it over again and now I don't have anymore problems
Seems like All windows are the same sometimes you just need to reboot
Thanks for the reply anyhow.

No Problems

"I think he bricked his freekin' Dash!"

My Dash started acting up the other day and I am hoping someone here can help.
It is responding very slowly to most key presses, sometimes taking 5-10 minutes to, say, open a folder or bring up a settings screen. Sometimes they don't come up at all and it appears frozen, requiring a "yank the battery" reset procedure.
ActiveSync on both home and work PC's detects the device but cannot connect to it.
On bootup, the Windows Mobile splash will be displayed much longer than it used to (3 - 4 minutes) before I finally get a desktop.
The time on the main (top) sliding panel is often the last to (slowly) appear on the display when "waking up".
Email has stopped working in and out. I can receive calls, and Bluetooth is working, but often the ringer will continue for 5 -10 seconds after I answer, and transferring calls to my headset takes about 5 - 10 seconds after that.
Sometimes, settings changes won't "take" and will reset themselves back to their previous values.
Hard resets haven't helped, and nothing seems changed after them, which is odd.
The only thing I have changed recently is I installed the ODSHOW weather thing a few weeks ago (which seriously fubar'd my phone and it was all I could do to get the "normal" top panel back) as far as I know it's uninstalled now.
And all of this started happening after the battery had run completely down and the phone shut itself off. I have already tried another battery and the behavior hasn't changed.
I would love to flash it as I think the problem is the O/S is hosed, but is that possible without being able to connect to a PC through ActiveSync? Say, by copying the ROM package to the SD card and running it from there?
I am running RickyWatts/Kavana's WM 6.1 ROM, btw.
Many thanks if you have any suggestions.

Here's what you do.Turn the phone off, holding the camera button down for about 10 seconds , plug the usb cable that should give you the bootloader screen,you can get the official tmo 6.0 on there, it has to be an official rom. Once you got the phone with the 6.0 running, set up active sync and then flash which ever 6.1 rom you want. Good luck.
Here's the link for the official 6.0 rom http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=381726&highlight=official+roms
Her's the 6.1 rom link. I recomend V24 w/opera http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=3315417&postcount=1

Thanks rolo. Let me make sure I have this:
1) Turn off the phone while holding down the camera button for about ten seconds.
2)Release the camera button and plug in the USB cable. Bootloader screen will appear.
3) From the bootloader screen I can put the TMO ROM on.
Is that correct?
Thanks again!

No!
1. Turn off phone
2. after phone's off, press and hold the camera button.
3. after holding it for about 10 seconds, plug the usb like you're gonna use active sync.
4.That will give you the bootloader screen, and you can now install official 6.0.
5. after you got 6.0 set. set up active sync.
6. I would wait about 10 or 15 minutes, then flash 6.1

the phone should recognize the 6.0 rom update. If it doesn't, unpack it again, wait until the screen ask you if you did everything to establish connection, click next and attempt the bootloader sequence again.

ah-HA!! I did it! Officially un-bricked! I downloaded the latest ROM for the T-Mobile site.
ActiveSync now works, I can receive Outlook email, and have even paired up my Aliph Jawbone via Bluetooth! Thanks so much Rolo!! You rock, dude!
I think I might wait a bit before flashing a custom ROM. I'd like to have sliding panels and such, but I'm not in a hurry.

Yep, you need the official rom that the phone used from factory. Check for your rom on the official rom thread on the sticky. You might want to pm profezza and ask him if the O2 XDA Cosmo, Orange SPV E600 and the Rogers HTC S621 use the same rom. If they do, he has your official rom there.
