I have a problem,
after a while my BA keyboard turns off. the blue backlight isn't lit anymore, and i can't typde. After a softreset everything works fine again.
Anyone have the same problem, or better, a solution to this problem?!
I used to have this problem a LOT with my new BA device, but with the 1.40 ROM I never saw it again. Since you're on 1.40 already, then I guess I don't know how to help. But hey, are you using the i-mate ROM?
No I am using the (dutch) Qtek.nl ROM.
So an official Qtek ROM.
Upgraded from an T-mobile (also dutch) ROM.
Don't know if the problem was there too, because i updated the devices when i got it.
But since all data has been overwritten this shouldn't be a problem.
Are you using the keyboard too much and then it does this problem?
People, anyone else having this problem?
Yes,
when I use the keyboard for sms it takes a while to "shut down", when i use it for MSN (so much more) it doesn't take that long.
So it seems like it "shuts down" after a number of characters, but it hasn't done that while i was typing.
Only with an time-out, so when the backlight turned off; then i can't use it anymore.
don't know for sure in what time period this takes place, because this changes a lot!
The same exact problem used to happen, but now that I barely use MSN Messenger, its gone. I am absolutely positive that this is not from Messenger itself... There is no specific configuration I use for my keyboard. The keyboard backlight is set to turn off in 10 seconds. Maybe this is a problem when it's under heavy usage. We all know the shortcomings of the BA make a long list, and here's one of them.
Oh...forgot to mention: it used to freeze at any time with me even while typing. The keyboard backlight goes off, and whoops, gone.
Hi,
I'm new here, and have just upgraded my girlfriends MDA Vario II to Schap's 3.54 ROM, and everything appears to be working fine, apart from text messaging - which seems a bit strange. I was wondering if this is normal behaviour in WM6, and if not what might I be doing wrong?
I used PIM backup to backup the text messages she had before reflashing, and when I restore - the messages don't appear back in the SMS/MMS inbox. Also, if I send a text message to her, the message goes from the inbox when you do a soft reset on the phone (push the reset button on the bottom). Emails that are in the inbox disappear too.
Is there a setting to stop this, or have I cocked something up to cause this?
Thanks in advance! I'd never have realised you could do so much with these phones without this place...
Regards,
Brian.
I have the same over here. Now I copy my important SMS to my SIM card. Then I don't have this problem!
It's a workaround and is OK for me.......
If you close your messages program completely, instead of minimising it, your messages will be saved after a soft reset.
We've tried that, and they still seem to get deleted.
If you turn the phone off (press and hold the small power key on the side), then the messages are of course saved, and it seems as though they are then saved when you soft reset, but if you soft reset without doing this they get deleted..
By the sounds of this, it's a bit of a known bug then?
Brian.
reset button should only be used for two situations: hard reset or when the device hangs. Any other situation it's best to use the power button.
how fix this bug???
Its not a bug. When you use the power button (also a SR) the device is able to save settings, etc (including sms) before shutting down. Like pressing "shut down" on a PC.
The bottom button SR is an instant kill, you might say. Should only be used, really, if the phone freezes. Its like holding down the power button on your PC if it freezes. Therefore it will not save settings.
Just fyi, this hold true with regedits as well.

Sometimes PIM backup does not restore all the messages, you might have to restore again to make it work right...
I am not sure about disappearing...although, when the msg is unread and i happened to soft reset my phone, messages have disappeared before...i dont know any fix for that one..

Hey Brian. These guys are right. It's not a bug or issue at all. The phone just needs time to put stuff into memory that survives the soft reset. Using the power button to turn off and on should solve this.
use another rom
hi brian,
i had the same issue with some of the roms of schaps. the first two roms i used from schaps where working great with the messages. and they didn't get lost. with newer roms the problem occured like you described it. i also did some research, but it was a problem of the rom. you can wait really long (hours) before the sms is really saved.
so one of the first checks i run after installing a new rom is when the message itself is saved or do i loose messages after soft reset. my current rom "FuN_KeY_s_ROM_WWE_1.5.2" does not have this issue.
my suggestions: try another rom, maybe a newer from schaps!

Looks to me like you did not close the MESSAGING application properly! Only tabbing on the 'X' hides the application. Check in your settings if X BUTTON CLOSE FEATURE is enabled!
I encountered this behaviour of loosing messages, when I stored the
cemail.vol on my SDcard. Since I moved cemail.vol to standard location
(main memory, root) didn't have this problem once.
Just my 2 cents.
Olioaglio
Just a guess here but how long were you waiting after recieveing the texts / emails etc before you did a Soft reset?
i find using the POWER BUTTON solves this problem .. not the reset button, seems to work for me hope that helps.
Its not JUST WM6, it happens on WM5 too and its to do with the message being stored in RAM rather than Memory (i beleive)
Hi,

Yes, install Touch 2.1 and everything is ok. Other solution is to use soft reset when it´s happen....
I'm also had this problem after installing version 3.01. I normally happened twice a day.
Now I installed HTC original WM6 ROM, and the problem still happens(although not so often). I'm thinking the GSM chip is broken in some way...
hi,
I had installed O2 Premium 2.0 WM6 WWE ROM, 5.2.1921 SDHC Full for 3 weeks. It happened the same to me once a day. I had to do softreset as an only solution.
Now I am trying Touch 3.01 for 4 days and it did not happen. I wonder what makes this bug and if there is a solution to fix it.
If u know the solution or reason please let us know.
I think it's a problem with the new radio upgrade, I went back to 02.98.90 and everything's ok.

Does anyone also has this problem with Touch 2.1? If not I will try it because it also has Radio 02.98.90 ...
I had this problem with Touch 2.1 & Touch 3.0 (Radio is 02.98.90) I can't call or send SMS out (it say not available wait for 15 second) but can receive call and sms to me!
I tried newest Touch 3.01 (Radio 3.07.90) and the problem fixed, I did not see this problem 2 weeks ago!
Same bug but difference cases so I think this bug is not by Radio, so please try install another ROM
For me Radio 3.07.90 is fine!
By the way, you don't have to soft reset, just close and open the phone in Comm Manager
had same problem for the first time...
hello all
I have written the following in the main 3.01 thread:
I just want to address this point, I had a Qtek S200 (I am not sure but it may be the prophet) and I have experienced similar problems, this was also why I have sold it after 3 months... - what I am trying to say is that this may be either an HTC or WM related problem.
However, I have not experienced this with my artemis wich I have since september so far and I have used wm5, touch 2.01 full and now since release 3.01 full, but it is also rather hard to find that bug...

unfortunately, I have now also experienced the problem, I was not available. However, I was able to make a phonecall and receive a SMS from which I took notice of the problem.
I must say, I would not have much of problem to close and open the phone on comm man. or even soft reset, I would just like to prevent to do it too often. How do you guys find out that you are unavailable again? The reception does not seem a good indication as it was full when I was not available...
Thanks for your comments,

Im having this problem too since i intalled WM& first the HTC official rom, and now with touch 3.01..first i thought it was some app but the problem still exists and the annoying part is that i dont know when the phone app freezes and i dont receive sms or phone call alert. I always have to check to see if i have phone or not anyone discovered a solution?
Anyone? It's happening at least one time per day

It sounds like you're talking about something else. I think the OP was saying that his signal shows full or good and when he tries to make a phone call, it says the phone is not ready or available. You said you're able to make calls and SMS, but with this situation, you cannot connect to use the phone at all except BT, Wifi, & GPS. I'm assuming you mean that people can't reach you when they call but your can still make phone calls. ? I've had that happen to me on other phones in the past. I always thought it was a network issue.
I too have this problem and I've had it on the Touch ROMs and the Premium 2.1 ROM that I'm currently using. I've used radio 02.98.90 & now using 3.07.90. I can't remember if I had the issue with 02.98.90 though. But it's the same as the OP. The signal shows full but you can't make a phone call or anything. If you go to the Comm Mgr and try to turn the radio off and then on, it will not turn the radio off. The signal still shows full but no connectivity. This usually happens to me if I go a few days to a week without soft resetting. I reset my device maybe once every 2 days to avoid the problem.
So I'm not sure if it's a radio problem, ROM problem, or hardware problem. It doesn't happen that often so I just live with it but I'd love to learn what the source of the problem is and get a fix (or work around) for it. I was just thinking yesterday that maybe I need to go back to radio 02.98.90 but from the posts, it seems that it is happening on this radio too.
What happen to me is that the pda works normal the signal strenght too but when i press the green key to acess the phone or go to lost call or so nothing happen. And when the phone rings when in this state it only lights the keypad light but wont ring or show anything on the sreen and wont register a lost call or any SMS..

I have Vanilla 1.0 and I had that problem two times a week. It was caused by enAlarmPPC -alarmclock program, which freezed TomTom Navigator when loading it and caused that problem too. When I took enAlarmPPC away, it has done it only once during 30 days.
The problem was annoying, because I thought all things are fine, and I did not know, that I cannot make a phone call or to receive it or to send and receive sms.
The only program i have for alarm e spb time now but i will try to remove it to see if it works. Thanks.
Just got this issue today directly after connecting to wifi and updating weather. Phone was working fine - no resets or malfunctions for 5 days! The only thing I've done today that I haven't done in the past 5 days was connect to wifi. I just noticed my signal was full at work and I know it's usually about 4 bars. So I tried to make a phone call and got the following message:
"Cannot complete the call. The signal may be unavailable or the phone number may not be valid. Verify the number or try again later."
And when I try to connect to GPRS, I get this message:
"Cannot connect for an unknown reason. To check your connection settings and change them if needed, tap Settings. If the problem continues, reset your mobile device according to your manufacture's documentation and try again."
This is all while the signal strength is full and the green light is flashing. I just doen't know Maybe it has something to do with the Comm manager. I haven't used the Comm Mgr in 5 days either, so could be issues with it since it seems to be ineffective at turning the phone on or off in this condition. Hopes someone can figure this out.
same problem
I had touch 2 installed and it worked fine for months. but last 2 weeks the phone freezes and I can't do anything and have to soft reset.
Now I installed Touch 3.0 and again the same problem. once or twice a day when I press a button, the screen stays black doesn't respond at all. sometimes I start a app (random) and it just freezes and I have to sof reset.
remember i worked months with Touch 2 and never had the problem!
Already tried to take spb time but still freeze the phone app with no warning and random..only one time after two day but i miss a lot os sms or important calls since i have to chech everytime if its stuck or not
Hi all,
I've just done a search on this and have found a few posts but none with a conclusive answer to my problem.
I have upgraded to Schaps 4.x ROM and all has been fine for a good few weeks, then without [knowningly] changing anything, the phone has stopped ringing or vibrating no matter what ring tone/type I select. I still see the pop-up of the name/number of person calling but no sound whatsoever.
When I play the sample tones (using the play button in sounds & notifications) the ringer plays fine. Also other notifications (SMS, Email, etc) seem to be fine.
Anyone experienced this and found a solution?
Many thanks.
Now thats a coincendence as I'm seem to have extactly the same problem.
Not all the time thou and I have recently flashed my phone with Farias new rom.
I couldn't be bothered to diagnose the problem any more than I have already have so just did a hard-reset and finished installing my apps. I forgot to create a working back-up before and will do one this time!
It would still be good to know if this problem does get resolved.
yes, i have the same problem with
Shamanix`s WM6 Ultimate v2, which is based on Schaps 4.x ROM i presume.
so it looks like a bug in the OS itself, or maybe something in Schaps Advanced Config Tools.
because sometimes Vibration starts working (sometimes for a couple of hours, sometimes just until the next call, sometimes for a couple of days) and then it doesnt work again.

Actually, sorry, my mistake in my original post, I used to have the Schaps ROM but then changed it to Shamanix one too- based on Schaps though like you've mentioned.
Anyway, I got just a bit annoyed with it and like I said, did a hard-reset. I re-installed all the same apps and no problems so far. Not sure what triggered the problem though.
the same problem exactlly, I flashed Faria - the last -I think it is a 6.1 error
Phone ringer resets itself to silent.
Just to be clear about the problem I am having, my phone periodically turns off the ringer and vibrate and goes to silent without any prompting.
I first noticed this when I flashed to a Faria's first 6.1 rom. It was suggested that the Home "profiles" tab had something to do with this. Apparently the "Auto" switch in the profile tab is supposed to turn off the ringer during appointments. I have not ever used the profiles, and in fact I usually disable the profiles tab in HTC home. Also at that time, I found that the ringer would be randomly turned off even when there were no appointments scheduled.
I switched to a 6.0 rom and continued to have the same issues. I have flashed a OEM rom and reflashed the newest Faria 6.1 rom and I am still having the ringer turn to silent, however now it does seem to be primarily when an appointment is scheduled, though I have never set it to "Auto" in the profiles.
Does anyone have any suggestions on how to stop this? It is frustrating to be missing calls every day.
seems it is a very old problem:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=279920
maybe it is something with Hermes hardware problem?
another thread about it:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=288728&highlight=mute;+no+sound
mostly everybody who has this problem start having it NOT after flashing\updating software, but after sometime of just using a device. so it SEEMS to be a hardware problem with some contacts, which brake\disconnect cuz of vibrations and\or just oxidation\corrosion.
I have the same problem, and I don't think the above threads are the same thing. The ringer just doesn't work for incoming calls, regardless of which ringtone I use. I have it set to ring and vibrate, and up until a couple days ago, it would at least vibrate, but no ring. I was ok with that, but now it won't vibrate. I do get the voicemail notification sounds, and I get sound for incoming text messages. Vibrate also works with text messages and such.
And now that I'm typing this, I just received a call, and the phone vibrated! It was set to ring and vibrate, though. At least it's vibrating again, but I miss my ringtones!
I'm running K's rom version 1.31 right now, but I'll be installing K's final rom as soon as the download finishes. I also plan on installing all my programs one by one and soft resetting in between. Hopefully if it's a software conflict causing this, I can narrow it down that way.

same here.. i already try installing a few diff rom.. but it still cant fix the mute problem.. can anyone else help us? hmm
I got K's final rom installed, and I finished installing all of my crap. My ringtones work fine now. I have to say, I wish I would have installed this rom earlier; it's much faster. I think I'm going to backup my registry now, so if the ringtones do quit working again, I can at least prove whether or not the registry had the problem. I'll update if I learn anymore about this.
Like I mentioned in a earlier thread, I installed Shamanix`s WM6 Ultimate v2 ROM which was about 5 weeks ago; ringtones were working perfectly and all of a sudden they stopped.
I'm not sure if I did 'something' by accident to cause this problem. But having reflashed using the EXACT same ROM and apps, the ringtones are working fine again.
Hi,
Recently my P3300 started behaving strangely.
When working on it, it suddenly starts scrolling without me touching anything.
Sometimes it stops, but after a few seconds it starts over again.
I have it when using the contacts list, typing an SMS, ...
I already flashed a new ROM and changed the battery, but same behaviour.
It's driving me mad, because it has practically become unuseable this way.
Does anybody have an idea about the cause?
Thx,
Vince
I have the same problem,but only when i am using internet explorer....
p3300,scrollig
Hi,
I have exactly the same problem. But i think the problem comes when there is traffic on wifi... so when i use IE, but if i use the internet throught activesync there is no problem, just with wifi
Please Masters, help us
Hi all,
In my case there is the solution:
If i change the power mode of the wifi to best performance, then everything is ok... there is no scrollig randomly...
Well in my case it starts random scrolling whenever the ie is started...it doesn't matter if it connects via gprs,active sync or wifi....however since i gave the device a cleaning it doesn't seem to do it so often
