Help Greatly Appreciated: Phone cuts off. Possible power or WM6 problem.

I used to own a T Mobile MDA Compact 3 which I believe is the same as the Artemis.
The phone worked fine for me over the 18 months I had it. However I've since sold this phone on ebay and the buyer has reported a problem where it keeps cutting off via email.
I don't know if he's pulling a fast one or if this is a genuine problem. If it is a genuine problem how do I fix it? Any help would be appreciated.
The only problem I've had with the phone is a screen problem on it in January and went back to T Mobile for repair. They sent it back with a replaced screen and WM6 on it which the buyer is saying is likely to be the cause of the power cut outs.
If it is WM6 does anyone know how to downgrade the device back to WM5? Any help appreciated.
Rather than paraphrase his emails I'll just list them in order received:
Email 1 received:
"hi.. this phone keeps switching off compeletely. each time i have to restart. sometimes its after 10mins other times its later. do you still have any warranty on it? if so can you post me paperwork and i can possibly have it repaired. if not then its faulty. it just keeps randomnly switching itself off. ive tried hard resets. even downloaded latest roms from tmobile website for compact 3 but still no success. ?? only other thing i can try is reinstalling windows mobile....."
I asked him for the link used to download the rom:
Email 2:
"tmobile direct.. under support and software.. i worked for 02 providing data support on pdas for 7 years and now own a 60 seater call centre in manchester and sell consumer and business mobile phones.. look at my feedback. ive bought and sold many pdas. im familar with them. backlight and power settings are unticked. it just completely shuts down. same as would when you would when you do a soft reset. after a hard reset the only thing you can really do is make sure the latest rom or software is installed. its an intermittent problem and i cant replicate it all the time. when it does it just switches off completely. no error messages at all. on standby it fine. its when your using the phone, any application or even on the internet. did wm6 come with the phone or did you install this yourself. ive noticed wm6 is not available on this model by tmobile. they have taken it off their websites.. ive used wm5 and have never experienced problems with them. if wm6 was an upgrade do you have wm5"
Email 3:
"i will try another battery as i have more mda compact 3's... if it works with another battery. no probs. i'll keep it. if it doesnt then i will have no option but to return as its faulty. could well be the battery if you have used it for about 18mths.. will keep you posted. thanks"
Email 4:
"i have done a little more testing and here is a problem that i can replicate every 5-10 mins.. the phone itself if not used does not switch off. its when its used that i have the problem. i have noticed in the about section the phone originally came with WM5. so maybe its the WM6 that is not fit for the phone? WM6 is not available and not supported on this model by Tmobile. Anyway. if i log onto to the internet via gprs and am physically browsing after a few mins the phone will reboot itself and switch off. so if im on the internet but not actually browsing and have just a gprs session active, the phone is fine. its only when i am actually browsing a site - it can be any randomn sites its not linked to any one site.. regards bash - hope the above makes sense.."
Email 5:
"i still have not had chance to try with a different battery but when i do i will let you know. i dont think you are a rip off merchant at all. im just letting you know the problems i am experiencing. its not just the internet. its also when i use my own 3rd party software which i use on other mdas orbits and spvs and works totally fine. i will speak to tmobile in the morning and see if i can get wm5 off them as i think its related to wm6. if the battery or wm5 does not fix it then i will have no choice but to return it. will keep you posted. regards"

bump.
Any help really appreciated.

I have the very same problem here !!!!
Dont think its the battery because it started from one moment to another with a FULL battery

I had the same problem with my phone turning off during use for no reason even when the battery was showing it was charged.
I replaced my battery and all seems to be OK now.

[Q] CM 10.1.3 RC1 Galay Note 2 N7100 Bluetooth Issues

Dear All,
This is the first time I am participating on such a technical forum. Please forgive me if I am a little lengthy in details. I own a Galaxy Note 2 N7100 in India. Mine is not a carrier locked unit as there is no such practice in India. I recently installed CM 10.1.3. RC1 on my phone. The installation was perfect and after installation the phone seemed to be working perfectly. I installed a large number of apps that I regularly use and there was no problem. However, later on when I tried to connect my phone with my Fiat Linea Blue & Me system via Bluetooth then it got connected with great difficulty but the phone and contacts app crashed. Thereafter if I dialled a number from my phone I could neither hear the ring going through to the other number nor the voice of the person on the other side even after the phone was connected. However, the person on the other side was able to hear my voice perfectly. I disconnected the bluetooth but the problem was not solved. I did a factory reset and without installing any apps again connected my phone to Jabra BT & Fiat Blue & Me. this time everything worked flawlessly. However, after having installed all my apps, the problem resurfaced. Finally i was compelled to unroot my stock rom and everything is back to normal. All the apps are still installed and everything works fine.
Someone please guide as to what might be the problem. I have nearly 70 apps on my phone. Can anyone please help me?

I've got the same problem. I use the final version 10.1.3. When I want to turn on Bluetooth, it instantly turns off. I've got no idea what this is. Maybe the next release helps.
Sorry for bad English.

[q] samsung galaxy note 2 serious issue

Hi everyone. I bought a galaxy note 2 from a friend two days ago and now I cant make calls, use 4g data or send/recieve sms, everything else works (including wifi), let me be as clear as possible as to what happened.
I purchased the phone from my friend 2 days ago and it was working fine. its a Telcel (mexico) galaxy note 2 N7100. I tested the device fully and everything was working, I made calls etc and data was wotking also.
I took the phone home and used a soft damp cloth to wipe the battery cover clean, it was greasy and all note I removed the battery cover from the device. Afterwards I replaced the battery cover, connected to my home wifi and then there was a message on my phone "set up software update' which i agreed to .
I then switched my sim card with a different one( it had call credit on it). and upon powering on the phone, i was greeted with a screen with a small padlock and the words "SIMLOCK". i swiped up and bypassed that screen. MY PHONE WAS SHOWING 4 SIGNAL BARS BUT UPON TRYING TO MAKE A CALL OR SEND A TEXT MESSAGE, I keep getting error messages such as "NOT REGISTERED ON NETWORK".
I have tried every single thing to get rid of this. I even purchased galaxsim unlock from the playstore and it claimed to have removed the simlock but i kept getting that screen with the padlock and simlock message and also no calls or text can be send or recieved. I tred different custom roms, official roms, I tried flashing different kernels, modems etc you name it and still I cant use my phone.
The phone was on android version 4.1.2, now its on the official/rooted 4.3. I read online that samsung may have region locked my phone but this is very strange because my friend was using it for several months. and the issue arised when I took it home. I have never given up on an android device EVER. I have spent days trying and succeeding in unbricking phones but for the first time i actually feel helpless.
I have used so many samsung devices befoe including a galaxy s4 from europe without any problems.
Lasty even when there is no simcard in the phone, THE PHONE IS SHOWING 4 TO 5 SIGNAL BARS ALL THE SAME, IS THIS NORMAL??? also the phone detects the simcard, i can see my contacts etc. The phone can search and detect available networks also but when i try to connect to a network manually it fails to do so, or sometimes it will connect but i still get that message saying network not available.
also the phone only allows emergency calls, but when I try to to dial emergency it says OUT OF SERVICE AREA. Someone please help me if you can

Need help activating Verizon Tab S for Wi-Fi only use

Hello!
I bought a refurbished Tab S from Amazon. Got it this past weekend, logged in and set it up and it runs great over Wi-Fi. However, I'm getting an error while it's trying to activate the tablet and it fails every time I ask it to check for an update to the OS (it's on 4.X right now).
I found a post saying you do down volume once, up twice, etc... but that doesn't seem to do it. Unless I'm doing it wrong? I unlock the tablet, am at the home screen and then try it.
Thank you!

it will not update if it's not on the verizon network and it probably won't activate without a sim in it.
if it's working, don' worry bout it.

Have you tried kies/smart switch?
If someone here can catch the ota and upload it you could flash it with odin.

Is there a way to create Lee o account if you are in Europe(croatia)

Is there any round way to make Leeco account somehow if you are not from USA, CHINA, India and 3 or 4 other countries Leeco would accept ?
If something crashes, I can't even send a feedback or anything.
Any help would be appreciated.
" Contacts stopped working, so please describe what happened bcos we would like to hear from you what happened."
After I write everything, there comes a reply something like this:
"OPS, SORRY, YOU ARE NOT FROM FEW COUNTRIES WE ACCEPT FEEDBACK FROM. BYE, AND NEXT TIME BE MORE CAREFULL WHEN READING A SMALLPRINT IN YOUR PHONE BOX.
Thanks in advance for any help.
P. S. Phone was bought from Banggood. 2 months ago.
