When the XDA has not been used for a while the pda pin request kicks in. Now my problem lies like this, I think...
I answer an incoming call. Hang up when finished. Then the PDA pin request kicks in (because the device is switched on of course). Now I just switch it off. Then I go to switch it back on and I can't. The little light flashes to say that it is working. But the on button doesn't work.
As this requires somebody to call in, PDA pin-locked, and phone answered it is not a regular occurance. I am very positive that this is somehow linked. The above exact situation happened last night.
Anybody else have something simlarly strange occur like this...
My ROM is 3.02.00 ENG 05/27/02
Radio 4.01
Protocol 324e2
Any ideas or reports of something similar out there...

Given that your firmware is rather old, I would upgrade to 3.15.15 and see if the problem is gone.
But you haven't told us what state is in when the power on switch doesn't work anymore. Does a warm reset help, or only a cold? Does it still go to bootloader mode?

Just a quick soft reset and I'm on my way again. I'm used to my XDA having to be rest every few hours. Just a fact of life for using vomputer hardware!!
I have tried Linux a little bit, but it just seems a little too long winded for me. why invent the GUI then go back to entering code!!!
I await the British o2 update.. I don't have a serial cable, maybe later..

Having major problems with my XDA II i....any help gratefully received!! I have tried to find similar postings but without much luck...there is lots of talk of ROM upgrades etc etc but no mention of my particular issue.
I must state at this point I am a newbie in terms of ROM upgrades or whatever....but I am desperate to fix this issue as I am left with a dead phone...and sure someone at work can help me if the technology beats me!!!!
At least once a day it will crash and not respond to trying to power up from the on switch. It will only respond to a soft reset. This is intermittent and does not happen after a certain time span, time of day, after x hours in standby or anything.
I am met with a blank screen etc etc BUT the green light on the right hand side keeps flashing when the phone is 'dead'. It also seems to still be connected to the cellular network because if I dial my number from a landline I get a tone on the landline but the handset is dead. Also the
The only time that it started to behave better was when I disabled the Auto Standby function...I killed my battery but the phone seemed to behave much better because it wasn't going into standby from which it seems to not recover.
This is the second handset I have had from O2, the other one failed for the same reason so there is a 'bigger' problem somewhere...therefore I would rather look to you guys for help as opposed to getting the usual run-around from O2 who don't really seem to want to engage in this at a detailed level. I don't really want to give them the handset for another two weeks just to get another one with the same fault on it again.....
I have no other software installed other than the base OS and it still happens.
Details are as follows:
ROM 1.10.00 WWE
Rom date 12/24/04
Radio 1.00.00
Protocol 1337.39
ExtROM 1.10.124 WWE
Model PH10C
THANKS LOADS!!!!!!!!!!

Hi all,
I have one of the original O2 XDA's (64mb), and it has been fine, but over the last 6-8 months the xda keeps resetting (similar to pressing the reset on the left with the stylus) and the phone switches off.
I do not loose any data, but I have to re-enter the code for the phone. It does it randomly, diverting calls to voicemail, till I turn the phone back on.
I thought mine was a one off, but my brother has the same model and he said he has been getting the same problem.
The details are:
ROM Version 3.14.13 ENG dated 10/09/02
Radio Version 4.08
Protocol version 32S54
Any ideas ?
All help will be appreciated.
Thanks
AA :?
PS It is not Sim locked. ( Thanks to this site)
Sounds like a software program, it might be worth using the xda without any additional software for a while, backup first, do a hard reset and use the phone as normal. If this cures it then you will know that one of your programs is causing the problem.
This might be a long shot in the dark....check the reset button to make sure it isn't damaged in some way. I haven't heard of a PPC reset button being jammed in the reset position but it could be a viable theory.
Good Luck
Hi
I have tried this, but keep getting the same problem.
I set the phone to manual selection of network, and when it reset itself, the phone part would not come on again.
In the end I had to take out the sim, and put a different one in before the phone part would come on. could there be a problem with the GSM bit ?
Ta
It might be the sim-door switch which automatically switch off your phone when you open it. There was a solution of similar problem on this forum
has anyone come across the problem that when you move to say 3g from gsm or back or you loose signal as your in a bad signal area and then get it back, the phone actually looses the radio says "operation failed" and relocks on to the signal?
mine will sometimes loose the signal need restarting and on the boot screen will show NOGSM when its clearly installed as it worked 20seconds ago. i have tried many types of radio rangeing from 1.07 to 1.41 and all their varients. i am at a loss why my phone just looses it and then forgets it has actually lost it untill i try to make a call or send an sms. no calls or sms's can be received by me whilst the phones done this and it does it a hell of a lot.
sometimes it also just looses the radio half way through a call or data call.
anyone got any ideas?
i have a m3100
IPL 1.04
bootloader 2.10oli
and the XDA live OS installed. however it does it on any OS i have tried so far. and thats alot of them.
Same for me.
Same problem for me.
Often I get the message "operation failed" or "the phone is not ready, wait 15 seconds and try again". Thought it was a problem with the new 1.38 radio, but it seems to be something different.
i also get all those error msg's. i have no idea how to fix it either and no 1 here seems to have a clue either :-(
i Had the same problem with mine it due to hardware i guess. Your phone might have fell down or something then this kind of problem starts I fixed mine by opening my phone up and fixed the arial part properly
torrentulla
is there a guide you follow for that or can you give me any tips to do it myself?
thanks

I fixed my phone almost the same way as Torrentulla did. I'm my case it seems that something was damaged when I dropped my phone a few weeks back. I discovered that when I pushed at a spot right below the flashlight that the radio kept coming up all the time.
These are the steps I took to repair:
Remove all 4 screws (very small torx) at the back of your hermes
Remove back
Put a little piece of paper on the "pressure" spot
Put your phone back together
Turn it on and enjoy!
I hope you'll manage to fix yours aswell!
Phone sometimes shows No GSM, fails to ring
Hey guys, I posted this in the dead hermes thread, but decided to post it here as it's not really bricked. I think it may be a faulty component or something.
My phone was working fine this morning, then in the afternoon I noticed I would have to try to make a call 3 or 4 times before it would go through, it kept on giving me the error (Can't connect, or something along those lines).
Then, I checked my voicemail and found that I had 10 messages from people who had been trying to get in touch with me, but my phone hadn't been ringing.
The kicker came when I soft reset my phone and all of a sudden No GSM popped up! I soft reset it again, and it was gone, and worked fine for a couple of hours. Now its back to not ringing again.
I flashed radio 1.41.00.10 about a week ago, and have been running fine with no problems since. I haven't flashed any rom's in the past week, and this problem just started yesterday. No new software has been installed (except Pimp my black v0.1).
I don't know a lot about the radio, but I didn't think it could become corrupted during regular use, I thought you could only mess it up when you were flashing the phone. I wonder if there is something wrong with the radio? Could the hardware be faulty? This phone is about 8 months old and hasn't had any problems up to this date.
I'm going to flash radio 1.40.10.0 again and see if that makes a difference, but I'd like to know if anyone has any ideas as to what could be causing this.
Sorry this post was so long,
Thanks
-Kai
it seems i don't have a pressure point on mine as the radio is working as and when it likes. which is not alot
gotta sort it out somehow, will take it apart and see if theres anything obvious.
I have the same problem too, phone sometimes shows NO GSM on startup and sometimes it works. Here's where I posted : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=306073
Now its not even showing NO GSM it just says: NONE, NONE
Also, I noticed that it will only last about 6 hours on a full charge before the battery is absolutely dead.
I'm beginning to think that it may be my radio 1.41.00.10
It seems strange that all of these people are suddenly having this problem now.
Whats the warranty like on these devices? Is it a 1 years parts and defects warranty? Or is it some ****ty 90 day warranty?
As it is my phone is a piece of garbage, not worth using at all, I am very disapointed in it.
It's a hardware problem.
Hi guys,
I'm experiencing the same problems since two months and I've been struggling with all kind of OS, ROM, RADIO and bootloader, without even gettin close to solve them.
My phone randomly loads the RADIO (otherwise I get the "No Gsm" message), even when loaded, the connection is not suitable and my phone is often unreachable on the net. The battery life is very short because the phone always looses the signal and then seraches till he find it, before loosing it again.
So I disassembled my phone and did a lot of testing with hardware connections. I have found that the motherboard connection with the flash/scroll module isn't stable at all. You can easily move it and find that this affects the phone ability to load the RADIO. It seem strange but it's true. I can't solve the problem and I'm very upset with HTC because of their hardware components lack of quality. I would like to try to change the module to but I can't find a place where i can buy HTC hardware parts.
So I'm going to change my pda, I'll never buy HTC anymore.
Any help?
Has anyone figured out the problem? If it is hardware, what "pressure" spot is it? I tried, but wondered if I'm not in the right place.
In my case it was a spot right below the flash/scroll-part. As said earlier, i put a piece of paper on the spot and reassembled the phone. It still works excellent after a week!
My dopod can't connect to the mobile network as well, but only with the 3 network. It seems fine when being connected to an Optus network. Have you guys tried using a different network simcard?
I'm not sure if mine is a physical problem but maybe a setting which i need to configure so i can connect to a 3 network. Help anyone?
ROM version : Pro BLACK 3.0
ROM date : 01/04/07
Radio version : 1.41.00.10
mine also works just under the flash with the cover off, but if i hold it too hard then the screen goes all white and doesn't work, until i can get the case off its a hit and miss game at the moment.
thanks very much for the tips and help

I cannot agree with this more.
I am sick to death of this phone. I had one of the first in the country for normal sales and spent weeks arguing with HTC who flatly denied the screen alignment issue. EVENTUALLY I got them to fix this after referencing posts in this forum.
I continued to suffer the "coma" software issue - why is it so F*((&&^ dificult for a device to wake up when its auto-sleeped?
And finaly, to top it off, I have been suffering this problem. I cannot express how mad I am. Did I buy a cheap phone? NO. I have had nothing but problems with this phone and will NOT buy another HTC.
Oh and if anyone knows how to repair a failed Radio upgrade, please help me! I don't have any choice but to use it until the IMate Ultimates come out.
Due to seeing this radio problem I thought I would try downgrading the radio from 1.4.summint or other (the latest) to a slightly older version. This was of course before I saw this thread. During the downgrade the installer stopped at 15%. Now no matter what I do it sits at the IPL/SPL screen (3 colour bars+white). I have done the obvious i.e. follow the installers error procedure (remove the battery).
Device: HERM200
IPL-1.04
SPL-2.10.Olipro
Please help me be able to use this for another month or two at most - i hope!
Thanks guys
update:
OK Guys
thanks to this thread: http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=Hermes_Unbrick
I now have it trying to boot the o/s. I get the message "No GSM" on the boot screen but when it boots up it asks me for my pin number and freezes. I guess its locking up because it has no "phone" part? According to the instructions in the other thread I am supposed to flash it again but I can't as the phone locks on boot.....
Any ideas?
*FINALY* got it back into pre-flash feck up situation. Sadly, this still leaves me with the hardware problem. HTC can go poke themselves until the cows come home. Im taking my money somewhere else.
Hey all,
Here's some basic info about my phone. I'm not much of a phone geek so if something is missing, let me know...
Android version: 4.4.2
Sense Version: 6.0
Phone was never rooted.
Essentially, my problem is as simple as the title. I turned my phone off while at work, and when I rebooted it, it refused to exit airplane mode. I tried hard reboots, pulling out and reinserting the SIM, and even a factory reset. Nothing has worked.
I've noticed that this seems to be a fairly common occurrence for HTC users based on the forums I've been reading through. People who did manage to find a solution either poorly explain how they did it or it's just going way over my head.
If anyone has had experience with this issue on an HTC, and managed to fix it, please share your experience. Again, I'm no expert with Android or even cell phones in general, so explanations with small words would be most appreciated .
Thanks in advance
May seem silly but have you tried WITHOUT the SIM inserted?
Mine (even since factory update by HTC) still has (since I caught it!!) Mobile data showing as off in the settings but is actually on.
My guess is corrupt data from the crappy bdiff OTA's or just the same with the RADIO section of the handset. It's hit and miss if it gets sorted or sorts itself out.
Sent from my HTC One_M8 using XDA Free mobile app
Ok, I left my phone sit on it's own for an hour or so and when I came back it was working. Airplane mode now toggles normally, and data/calls are coming through just fine. I'm genuinely confused.
For anyone looking at this thread for answers (hello, future angry people!), the only thing that changed with regards to my phone working/not working was the battery level. After leaving it to fully charge, the issue resolved itself. I can't really explain or say that the charge level was the issue, but it's the only factor that changed while I left my phone alone. So give that a try, maybe.
I guess I'm just glad it's working. Hope that airplane mode nightmare doesn't happen again.
