I had a problem with the password TWICE!! my P3600 does not recognize my password after i power off and on the device. i had to do a hard reset in order to use the device again, then i'd lost all my data. i am a Apple user so i did not back it up, actually i do not know how to sync my WM6 with my Apple.
now i do not use the password in fear that it may happen again. is this a bug with WM6? apparently a few people have experience this as well.
Hi,
it's a problem which happens if the device is reset before the change in the registry is written into the flashrom.
Turn the device off by holding the powerbutton down for about 10s, then you should be fine.

i did not power off/on, or reset, the device right after i created the password. the password was working fine when the device goes into the sleep mode. in fact, i am sure the password was fine as well when i power off/on a couple of times. it just seems to happen randomly without a pattern.
your suggestion seems logical enough, but i know for sure it was LONG enough for it to update the registry.
Good, someone else with this problem. I posted this in Shaps rom thread on Monday but got no reply.
I flashed a standard WM5 Orange M700 up to Schaps new rom.
First i sim unlocked it.
Then hard SPL
Then flashed the ROM
Got everything set up and must have rebooted a few times in different ways after setting the password and then 1 time it just wouldnt accept the password.
Hard reset, did everything again and same thing. I set the password the first thing when i first booted the device this time though and since that i must have reset about 5 or 6 times without problem when installing things like Random Access and stuff you obviously have to reboot. Then again after half an hour or so after another soft reset and it locks me out.
I flashed to a dif WM6 rom after this and i havent heard that there has been an issue yet.

thanks for th info. too bad it costs $39.99 just to sync it with Mac. I was hoping there is a free software out there.

okay. I just reread your first post... you said you were not able to back up data...
for me, I use PIM Backup by dotFred because it backs up the PIM on storage card, and can be restored on any WM version using the same program. (i.e. between wm5 and wm6) PIM data would be contacts, messages, call logs, calendard, etc.
if you'd really need to sync your pocket-pc to mac, you can see this
http://www.eltima.com/products/syncmate/
the one at sourceforge is still under development...

hey again,
i downloaded syncmate a few weeks ago, it works great. then today, it says my beta version expired and i should go to www.eltima.com to get the newer version. i tried but with no luck. i downloaded what appears to be the latest, yet whenever i start it up, i get the expired error again.
do you have any more info on this software? or anyone in this forum use this software to sync between Mac ans WM6?
i have the same "syncmate expired"-problem. I use HTC 3300 (WM6). It has worked for many weeks, but today i get this problem.

i thought this is a free software with no expiration date. the error suggested to go to their site for a newer version, yet there is none.
i am hoping someone in this forum may have a work around as it's nice to be able to sync between Mac and WM6
here is a solution: http://www.eltima.com/download/EltimaSyncMate.dmg
it works very well. i don't know why, but it works.

Which kind of hard-spl do you have?
the problem was solved. it was the fault of Igo, i think that it has a virus. i've deleted and put a safe and known version, and is working perfectly. The problem was that each time i've hard reset the device or reinstall windows, igo window appears and ask me if i want to install it. anyway, deleting that version of igo, and install another one was the solving matter. thank you all.
after phone working perfectly fine for a few weeks. i am not receiving constant signal. i am using radio 4.49.25.17. idk what can possibly be wrong any ideas?
i installed the ATT stock rom and left it for about 2 days and it started working again! idk if that fixed the issue but thats what i did.
is your problem anything similar to this? If so, I have been looking for a solution, but got no ideas so far =)
Edit: Oh yeah, forgot the link =)) http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=616426
Similar to what? I think you might have forgot to paste a link or somthing.
Any rate, if you have not loaded any new software to the phone I would sugguest the first thing you do is a hard reset. If that does not help you out then I would reflash the radio. This is all software and it can become corrupt for various reasons. It doesnt happen much but it does happen. All you have to do is read around this site to find out how many times a "Gremlin" has been removed with a hard reset.
how to perform a hard reset?

With the phone on:
Settings>System>Clear Storage
You know, this wipes out everything -- data and applications -- on your device, everything that's not part of the ROM (OS or Radio)
ok, so my work requires me to use a password to lock my phone in order to enable my microsoft exchange (push email) on my phone. I recently installed and tested voice texting. Only problem is, when my phone went to sleep and i tried unlock it, the voice texting program was set as the input method. But it runs as a program so my lock is preventing it from running and thereby preventing me from entering any numbers/letters to unlock my phone!! when i longpress on the input field it won't allow me to change to another keyboard. WHAT CAN I DO?? Please help.
Thanks!

I suppose a complete wipe would work. I'm sure you have a backup right?

Seems like the most up front way.
adb reboot recovery >> boot recovery console >> restore nandroid backup
thanks, but now what?

well... no backup yet...i haven't rooted yet b/c my confidence isn't there yet either. Hard reset?? Ok, so if i want to do it right, how would i backup my entire phone -what do you recommend. I guess now that i will have to hard reset it i might as well figure out how to do a complete backup. (also, not really familiar with adb, but i can read -any pointers??)
Personally, I would just follow toast's rooting guide. When you flash the PC36IMG.zip your problem will go away and your phone will essentially be restored to stock anyway. If you are looking for a great ROM, I am particular to Flipz.

so, i did a hard reset. any backup program (apps2sd, mobile defense, etc that you recommend?...or just a nandroid backup?) I don't really know what is best and easiest to restore.
Now that i see my need to root/backup...
@ danknee -thanks! looks like flipz rom is one i would like.
@ TheBiles -you are right -no excuse anymore! that is awesome and simple enough for even me!!
***by the way, swype is awesome!!! thanks for posting that. i never would have thought it could have been that much faster!
Thanks again you guys for responding!!

If you do a hard-reset -- and prevent the "old saved spb file" from running -- then that should work.
Hard-reset = Start>Settings (All Settings)>System>Clear Storage.
This wipes out all your data/settings and restores whatever ROM you have flashed -- 6.5 stock in your case.
