Hello everybody,
I seem to have a major problem with my XDA Orbit: Not only it shuts down with no apparent reason so that I have to reset it, but it shows sometimes the dreaded "white screen of death" - from now on "WHISOD". The screen all of the sudden slowly goes white and sometimes shows dark vertical bands. After that - if I am lucky - I can reset the device, however a couple of times I already had to hard reset end even reflash it.
I have already checked software and plugin problems and would rather say that it seems to be a hardware problem. Any ideas out there. They would be highly appreciated.
Best regards,

i had the same problem and as at now my phone is dead becuase i did not flash it with the original rom. look for the rom it came with and flash it to the phone ,like how u first got the phone or u will loos ur phone very soon
I am not at all sure if it has to do with the ROM. I have tried different ROMs to check the error but it appeared with all of them. However the next time I will try again with the latest official ROM.
Thanks for the comment and your help. BTW Did you send your Orbit in for repair?

Hi, do you use the uspl before every new rom install? Try it.
I have the same problem, my htc3300 is almost dead I think. No way I can even turn it on, allways end in the windows screen, and it was because I didn`t use the uspl before last rom install.
Give it a try, and let us know.
See ya.
Thanks. No flashing problem. I have flashed a couple of devices (always unlocking them before ;-) )and have had no problems whatsoever.
The problem I mentioned is not connected to any earlier flashing. The device works a couple of hours perfectly. However suddenly it starts to behave like crazy.
Now to your problem: If you can get into boot loader modus you will most probably be able to unlock your item. Search for uspl and download it. Then get into boot loader mode (press voice recorder button and power button while resetting the device) and you will get a three colored screen. Then connect the USB cable. You will see "usb" in small fonts on the screen of the device. Now you can run uspl. With a little luck the device starts again. However you can flash it again with a fresh ROM the same way (after unlocking it). This may (!) work.

Hello,
I have the same problem, I already hard reset end even reflash my p3300 many times with different ROM.
I even tried running it for some time with and without the micro SD, ending with the same result: the screen of death.
Any ideas , tips, anyone ?
Thanks,
Roundi
Ok, I tried the following: Just take the battery out for six or seven hours and insert it again. The device seems to run smoother. Will keep you posted. Tell me if it works out for you.
Regards,
Smack
Ok, just removed the battery, I will leave till tomorrow morning.
I will keep you updated.
Thanks,
Roundi.
I have same problem here - though mine is the second phone and the fifth motherboard I've had. HTC just don't seem to able to fix it. I'm now trying to get a refund.
Hi, Jem.
Yes that's something I have thought about too. Did you you use the original ROM? However right now the system seems to be more stable. I have had only one blank screen after removing the battery (and one shut down).
Regards,
Smack
I have just put in the battery and switched on the phone after almost 24h.
So far so good.... I will try to use it for a while and will let you know.

Roundi
Had the same problem again, when using Mortplayer. I have Mortplayer installed on the SD card. Could it be that the problems arise, when there is heavy usage of the SD Card?
Any ideas are welcome.

Again it went SOD shortly after turning it on. I didn't launch any applications.
I am stuck here.....
Hey guys, hoping you can help me with a problem with my harrier.
It was was working perfectly fine, and I replaced the touch screen (original screen was cracked) and it seemed to be working perfectly fine.
However one time, the battery fell out, and when i put it back (and ever since then) it showed the Pocket PC 2003 startup screen, and won't go any further then that.
Reseting didnt work, so I tried discharging the internal battery (by leaving the the battery off it for several hours), and then charging up the battery and charging up the internal battery.
That broke the cycle, now it showed the Welcome to Pocket PC, please touch the screen to continue - however touching the screen did not have any response. I tried hard reseting, and what do you know, back to the boot up screen only cycle.
Another thing, the boot up screen as soon as you turn it on, and then you can't turn it off and it's completely unresponsive.
I thought it's possible there was a loose connection inside, from when i took it apart, but i took it apart again and plugged everything in again, but it's still doing the same thing ~_~.
Does anyone have any ideas whatsoever?
Thanks!

Soft reset to your BA, before the red software letters appear in the splash screen push camera and record buttons simultaneosly , if you do correctly simultaneosly three labels gonna appear, with camera and record buttons you can choose the labels and set "yes or no". set all to "yes" exept KITL, after do it press message button and your BA begin to boot, dont afraid for the white screen it take a moment
did you sort it? - I have been through this exactly. Pressing the camera and record buttons does not do anything in wm2003 and there is almost no delay before the boot screen appears.
I reflashed mine with ship roms and in all cases the BA froze at exctly the same place. Amazingly enough I fixed it by letting the internal backup battery go completely flat (took the main battery out for a few days), flashed with fresh ship rom and all was fine. Even works great with WM6.1
Worth a try, I tried so many things and none of them worked I was going to throw it in the bin, amazing how easy the fix was.
thanks for the replies.
Currently trying to find a rom for a CDMA blue angel.
Try this post, it does work on Vista.
I know that it is an o2 rom but will be fine then follow the steps to upgrade as before

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

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

Exactly my case!!!
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

Ok it crashed already again
So, I left my Artemis in my RAM Aqua Box waterproof phone case attached to my motorcycle while I ran into the store.
I came out, started the bike and started the ride home. That was when I noticed the white screen and my tunes had stopped playing. I've seen it happen before (while turning off the phone in camera mode, etc), but a simple soft reset always fixed it. Not this time...
For two days now I've flashed it back to factory, installed my latest ROM (twice), reconfigured all my settings, etc, only to have the phone seize up by fading to the White Screen Of Death. The only fix is to remove the battery and let it sit for a bit. I have found however I can get the phone to run longer if I put it in the freezer for 15 mins, then it runs as it should until it warms up.
Sometimes it will work for half a day, other times it will fade out even before the soft reset boots up again. It really doesn't like being plugged in to charge or sync.
Now for some more background info. It did get deathly hot in the case I have because it has a clear face, is sealed, and it was sunny. Also, I started the bike when the phone was plugged in. I've heard this is bad for the charging circuit, but I'm leaning to the overheating as being the seminal event of the start of my sorrows because I've started the bike/truck many times with the phone plugged in. Did my luck run out?
What have I done, and how do I fix it?
i have had a white screen problem on my phone to it would go like this when just left on or when wanting to flash it in boot mode i have taken both sim card and memory card out and i have found that the memory care is curupted and works fine now will have to formate the memory card in order for it to work properly in the phone again
htc artimis 02 orbit
Yes, you can remove your memory card.
Just had similar problem. Possible reason: ROM update. Possible solution - ROM changed again (different) and hard reset. Hopefully everything will be ok. Until now (9 hours) - it is!

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.
flisak
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.

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?
