Hey people....
i was wondering.....does it usual take 6 rings for the XDA to respond?
im starting to wish i hadn't bought the xda now
jay
Err... No.
I've tested this in the past and found that, if the unit is in stand-by, it starts ringing just after the first ring. If it's on already, about half a ring.
right.....
well i asumed this was wrong and so i checked o2 website......i then discovered the radio v.4.21 and thought that that would sort out the problem. I WAS SOOOOO WRONG!
When i was installing it on the xda, it said "Upgrade failes" and crashed. I then tried a soft and hard reset and it just crashes again.
Can some one PLEASE help me...
Thank you so much
jay

When I turn on my XDA 1 it doesn't seem to boot up, it just stays on the initial "02" scree. I can access Boot loader and run diagnostics which appear be ok, please help !
maybe a program is set to start up which cause it to freeze
if you wish you could try to hardreset it this should remove any
program which are trying to startup and fails
of cause this will cause all your data to be deleted
Hello Steve,
If you still check out xda-dev let me know if you ever solved this problem. I have an identical problem now and I have tried everything from soft reset thru hard reset to upgrading ROM via SD card.
Nothing's worked so far so if you did find a solution I'd be real grateful if you let me know what it is.
Thanks,

Oh my oh my...
I used my XDA normally early this morning, I talked to someone, and received some SMSs. Later at around 10.30AM I received another SMS (it did the sound and shown 1 new text message) and when I was going to read it it was freezed... I couldn't do anything. The backlight was off and it didn't come on when I tapped on the screen, so I did a soft reset and the backlight turned on, the version was shown in the screen but it didn't boot, I did then a hard reset (lamenting the loose of all the messages and stuff) and it booted. About an hour later I decided to make a call... It was frozen again. Soft-reset didn't make it boot. I can access the bootloader and the RAM tests and everything shows up as good, except for the screen test. It shows a cross like the one on WM2003 used to align the screen. It works on on both crosses that are down. The ones on top don't click and to make them disappear I have to tap in the middle of the screen and then it says failed. I did this test in the first hard reset and it didn't work but when WM2003 started I was able to align the screen like I always did and it worked perfectly as always.
I made it boot once again but it was slow and delayed... now it just freezes in the Windows mobile screen even after many hard resets.
I believe I'm in deep sh*t now
Let me know if there's anything I can try or if you solved it aicon...
I was expecting to do a rom upgrade via SD when I get home but you said you tried that so I'm out of hope
Thanks for any help!!

P.S.: My ROM is 6.24/4.01.12.....
HEYYYYYYYY!!! I turned it off with the hard reset pin and now I turned it on to check the version numbers to post them here and it booted... It is not slow... I even started the StuntCar Extreme 3D game and it works fine!!!! (It is on the storage card and it runs without installing)
I even received an SMS that I believe was on the network waiting for my phone to come on to send it... I did read it well...
Hope it stays like that and it was just trying to scare me... I have 40% battery and this morning I just took it out of the charger at 100%. Very strange because the battery lasts at least two days with normal use...
Will post again if something happens... wish me luck
Hello Steve,
I've actually moved on to the XDA 2 now. Been using it for quite a while as I never did get the XDA 1 working right...
Since you haven't posted again I hope yours is behaving itself now...
Oh Yes, don't ask me why, but it is working... I still don't understand what happened...
XDA2's are way expensive than XDA1's... will have to wait a little to get one of those

Help guys plz help!!
I upgraded my JasJam softbank X01H mobile to WM6 via a great ROM. it worked perfectly. Then suddenly no vibration! nothing at all! I ofcourse checked the vibration option on notifications. yet, nothing!
restart? nothing.
factory settings? nothing.
another ROM? nothing.
Please help plz
ahahahaha! i solved it!!! guess how?
I throwed my mobile to the ground!!!! IT WORKED SERIOUSLY!!!
thats weird!
But funny
The vibrating mechanism is rather odd in the way it was designed. If you check in the Wiki it shows how to repair it, but basically it is two little metal "fingers" that are kinda springy that make contact with the correct points. Over time these can fall or become dislocated.
I've found with mine I can fix it by holding it in one hand by the top of the phone and striking the bottom back against the palm of my other hand. This manages to get it lined up again and working (and beats throwing it around).
Hope that helps!
i installed the XDA Windows mobile 6 about 3-4 months ago on my SPV M3100,
everything worked fine untill just lately it started displaying just a plain white screen, not bricked because if i rapped on the power button a few times it would display everything normally?
problem is it has started doing it more and more often untill lately it decided to completely go white - i found out the phone still works just a blank screen? also some of the mounted buttons stopped working at times and would work othertimes?
ive fully charged it, turned it on and plugged it into my pc but im not sure what to do?
is it something to do with XDA, maybe some kind of virus or should i literally re-install the orange windows mobile 5 and send it back?
any help would be great! - im in a bit of a pickle here
thanks -Edd
wm6 spv m3100 white screen
hi there
if anyone is following this thread, i too upgraded first to 4.01 as good as gold, then to 4.30, Schaps ROM's. all fine but then the white screens started in 4.3, in the end about 10-14 days i had to remove the battery to boot the unit, and only thrn with PSU/USB plugged in, so power issue?
anyway i pushed thorugh to 4.31 alls currently well, keep you posted
cheers in all others senses great work all round
cheers pete
Yep, I've got this issue with my HTC Hermes but it only manifested itself after the upgrade to WM6?!
Can you ALL please tell us what bootloader you are running?
I followed the online instructions for getting Schaps WM6 ROM on board for my SPV. I shall dig them out.

Hi Folks
My Hermes/Tytn is an Orange M3100. Recently it has begun dropping calls, or rather, ignoring them. The caller could hear a ringing tone but the phone wouldn't switch on, show me an incomming call or anything. A short while later, usually after I'd switched it on (I mean, the screen, "off" is that it's on standby) I'd get the notification of a missed call. More often than not it would come through after I had made a call.
This reached a "point" on the weekend where I missed about 17 calls from the Agency to get work for me as I was the only one available
So. I upgraded as reccomended on here. Up to HardSPL 2.10, Radio version 1.41 and then upgraded to Schaps 4.22 WM6 Rom.
Now, I made sure that ActiveSync has connected and synchronised, and all my contacts and PIM info is in Outlook. However, A/S won't transmit the information to the PDA, even though it tells me it's synchronising.
The only way I have managed to get my PIM data/address book back onto the PDA was by running a custom SPB backup file to restore the calender, sms and phonebook.
This is where the fun starts. My PIM and Tasks then go "read only" merely by having a warning telling me I have no memory and to go and close other programs down. But there isn't anything else running!
Fine. Right. Ok. Obviously I've done something wrong. I did a hard reset this evening. It wiped all the data internally and reset it. I changed the details to match the username that was already stored in A/S and plugged it in.
It tells me "Connecting" and the green thing swirls around but doesn't actually do anything.
I have heard mention of the MTTY software, so I've got that here. But it won't allow me to connect on USB, only Com1, 2 or 3.
So I've a pretty useless phone at the moment. It's got none of my files on there, the satnav is rendered useless merely because I can't install the sod and all the other problems to go with it.
Short of screaming abuse at it and throwing it across the room I'm a bit stuffed. And I can't spend anymore time on it as I've got to be getting up for work at 4am (only finished tonight at 8pm ) for another full day
I've read the wiki, I've gone through the pages and pages and, er, pages of posts but I'm hitting a brick wall somewhere. I'm not as bright as you guys, but I get by.
TIA. Elwyn

The device is no longer worthwhile for me and have spoken to Mike Channon over it. If you can change that or help me change it I would be grateful
Mikechannon is the main man when it comes to the hardware side of things, if it was an early bootloader issue (related to bad NAND blocks) then thats what i was questioning your SPL version about.
If mike is confident it is the hardware problem then id take his word for it, the guy rocks
/me has to get his mikechannon ass kissing back into shape again hehe.

Not entirely sure what it is yet. If WM6 wrote to the 'wrong' part of the memory, would reflashing back to WM5 fix this?! Is there a way of repairing NAND issues?
MrVanx, I looked in the original thread that I posted in about this issue and followed you're link. Not sure whether I did or didn't at the time, but I can see there are instructions for downgrading the ROM from 6 to 5. However I am now in the situation that I can't use the USB cable as it causes it to white screen, but probably could if I did it via memory card....
white screen continued
hi there
sorry about lack of info i installed olipro 1.4 as per the instructions at the wiki i think. mine doesnt boot white, it turns white/fades to white when in use, or more commoinly i will press off after use, then later turn the unit on, and it will come white. first few times it si normal after 2nd on/off, then it stops completly requiring a hard boot, then that stops and it requires a battery off, then that stops. however it always seems to repsond when power connected, even if 100% charged or just off.
it feels to me like a power issue, still there in 4.31, wasnt there in 4.01, going back now to see if its hardware.
i will give as much info as you guys need, i got my phone from orange in may 2007
pete
white screen update
hello again
still on 4.31 activesync isnt playing at teh moment but anyway.
on the screen thing, if i leave the unit standby itself and then power back on it seems fine, so far 3 hours of good, no white screens.
thanks pete
hi there i face this problem with my imate jasjam sorry to tell you that but this problem is a hardware problem you be confirm that it hardware by push by your 2 fingers below the screen and above the keys like you catch"hold" something bush the power key again the white screen will be disappear .sorry if you don't understand me because of my English.
Hi everybody.
Anybody solved problem with white screen?
I have the same truble as EddTQ - White blank screen & also some of the mounted buttons stopped working rarely 2 week before white blank.
same problem here.
Maybe a radio problem?
Folks,
The problem you are describing sounds like the flex connector.

Hey Com,
I got some problems with my u20i x10 Mini Pro. It was stuck in some boot loop like 1 month ago and I tried to reflash it with SEUS and this flaher App thing thousands of times. I did not have a little bit of success so i gave it up 3 weeks ago. Since then i had my phone laying under my desk without the battery. Today I decided to try it again and, GOD KNOWS WHY, it started up normally. So i finished the startup wizard and everything worked fine. Then i rooted it with superoneclick (my phone had A.0.6 FW), rebooted and everything worked just fine. Then I wanted to sign in to my wireless network and for some reason it did not work, but whatever. After like half an hour my phone started lagging really hard and suddenly the screen went black. I tried to push all the buttons and the screen went bright for a very little while and went black again. And this point it was like it was turned off. So i tried to turn it on and, guess what, its stuck in a boot loop! YAY! Now my phone is lying in front of me and all i can see is the only white SONY ERICSSON logo.
Seriously what has happened? Anyone knows how to fix that?
Thanks in advance, Martin.
UPDATE:
Now I am facing a new problem. My device turns "on", I can see the white SE logo, then the screen goes black but for some odd reason the touchscreen is reacting at the lower left and right parts of the screen. I can even dial a number (i hear the beeps) when I press twice at the lower left corner and then tapping at the display. But well, i guess thats not how the phone should work. So did any one also face this problem? Do you have a solution for that?
Anyway, Thanks in advance.
Kind Regards, Martin.

Your posting skills are zero..
Using profanity is one thing, but using it in the topic? Surely a 99% ignore from most members!
Id go back and edit your posting if you are actually capable of using better language!
Nochances,
Wow, you must be one big loser, your first post is to criticise someone the way the lay out a question script.

cool trick. next teach it to use the toilet. then to flush. small steps.
I'd probably call a priest for an exorcism
I'd say it was a defective screen but I am having no problems when the phone is on... really bizarre. perhaps I am having a grounding issue with my screen.
I fixed it by doing a reset ##786#. Bizarre.
As a psychologist I can tell you that your phone is schizophrenic.

It's been a while, but honestly I think I replaced the phone to fix it... Some ROMs are more finicky than others... the screen was actually having grounding issues--if I recall correctly. It kept happening even on the stock ROM. That's how I convinced Sprint to replace it finally.
That's a nice little trick, Can it make you a sandwhich as well? I am hungry though.....
