I just got back from Dubai this morning, and I recieved my first call from the plane. Fine, it worked.... but then...
disaster struck!
The phone has the "no signal" message when I click on the reception icon. I've tried to click the "turn phone off" button but nothing works...
I can't get into the phone settings in the start menu to change networks...
I'm trying to back-up to SD to do a hard reset, but the phone re-boots itself every 4 minutes! The device is also very slow in responding to the commands. E.G. when I place my phone code it takes 3 seconds just to type in the number... strange! I have 48 / 64 MB free in memory and a 256 MB SD card...
I can't connect to activesync because the decive is not being recognized.
I took out the sim card and am using a crappy nokia until I get this deal fixed.
I searched the forum for possible solutions and some came close, but none popped the cherry...
Have any of you experienced this specific situation? Is there anything I can do to recover my data before hard-reseting the Qtek? I made about 30 new contacts on the recent trip and was going to sync when I got home from the airport... but the 1010 keeps passing out on me!! It's like giving a date a full bottle of Crystal Champange before hitting the bedroom... Sucks!
HELP!
Have you tried a soft reset without the sim or sd card in the xda?
From My experience, I faced this situation (very slow response) once when I selected "Calib/Debug" option by mistake from the GSM menu in the bootloader. The only solution was to do select "Reset" from the same menu but more than once. Hope that will work with you.
PS: if you didn't go to the GSM menu, forget what I said ... your problem might have another cause.

It's a long shot, but this could be dirty SIM or SIM contacts.

Hi
Using a recently purchased used Xda (64mb version). Trying to amend settings for Ornage SIM (machine was supplied already unlocked) the screen froze. Have tried soft and hard resets but nothing. All I have is the Microsoft Pocket PC 2002 screen which doesn't react to anything it appears. Even the battery light doesn't flash although I have fully charged it. Any offers of help out there??
Did you have the xda working with your orange sim? Have you tried unscrewing the top of the stylus and pushing it once in to the hole at bottom right of your xda, then wait one minute and press one time again? You will lose all data.
Yes, I had it working quite well with Orange. Had web browser plus using POP 3 to receive all incoming e mails. Couldn't send e mails though, hence trying to change seetings which is when it all went wrong. Tried soft reset first, followed by hard reset but still nothing other than the welcome screen
And this happens even with the sim removed? Sorry I should have asked that before. It seems to be exhibiting radio stack problems, but if you havent messed with that I dont know if its possible for it to corrupt spontaneously.
Yu, happens with SIM removed
Ever since I upgraded to the new cingular rom and 1.27 radio, I've had great success with the phone, with a few issues.
1) The radio sometimes doesn't respond to 'hang-up'... I've once had to reset the phone to actually disconnect the call!
2) My SD Card will sometimes show no content. When I go to run a program that is installed to the card, it will not run and I get a 'file may not be signed' error. When I load up a file manager, it shows the directory structure of the card, but, not the files. Removing and re-inserting the card fixes everything and I can go on my merry way. Very annoying.
3) The phone will often not turn itself off. When I set the backlight timeout for 1min, and the power-off to 2mins (battery), I will get the backlight to turn off, but the phone itself doesn't turn off... Even stranger, if the device is doing activesync and I manually push the 'power' button, the device will *turn itself back on* within about 1 second.
Also, I had purchased "Ultimate Theft Alert", and for some strange reason it's decided that I'm using a different phone and runs only in non-registered mode. I'm guessing the change of radio threw off the serial # check. Just a warning for those who have the UTAv3.... Upgrading the radio *will* cause you to need to get a new activation code.
Otherwise, very happy with the new radio, and OS. On another note, the new radio shows 'E' for Edge correctly now (instead of a 'G'). I haven't gone to a 3G area yet to know how to works, but, the radio was upgraded after the OS, and with the old radio, I'd get the 'G', as soon as the new radio was installed, I got an 'E'. So, the radio has something to do with the G, E and 3G graphics.

I have upgraded to the cingular rom and it seem to reformat my sd card, I tried tor recover it.
I have now gone back to the HTC Test rom to see if I get the same issues
Hi
Ive been lurking for a while, about time to have my say! Upgraded to the test rom a couple of days ago and all seems fine. I have experienced the same behavior from my memory card too (1gb sandisk) but a soft reset sorts it. I havent noticed many other differences but everything runs fine, have yet to get things working with my Parrot in car handsfree and gps receiver.
Upgraded last night to the 1.27 radio, so far so good - I am now getting an "H" for hsdpa which is cool. Signal seems about the same as previous (1.18), waiting to see about battery life.
Thanks to all the "experts" that gave me the confidence to do the upgrade via the 1.01 bootloader and saved me from ending up with my radio rom stuck with 1.08!
I just love playing with this thing!
Dear All,
I was using 4.0.0.3. During my air travel i used to switch on the flight mode and it after landing i used to turn it off. It used to work properly.
But now after every time i land my phone refuses to detect a network. So i have to take out my sim. put it inside a 3310 or any other phone where it start working. After that when i put the sim card back in to my neo it starts working fine.
Is there something wrong i m doing.
regards,
vinit
Does the phone turn on when you deactivate flight mode? Do you have to remove the sim or does a soft reset suffice? Try to clean the card, I had similar problems. Try to reactivate the phone not by using the comm manager, but the wireless manager (tap on the connection icon in the top bar).
i had similar problem but it finished after uninstalling htc xbutton . or not installing it at all .use gullum's IX rom its without xbutton.
I do not use HTC xButton. It is not installed on my phone.
I used all methods suggested by the infestor. Tried cleaning the card many times. The phone turns on when i deactivate flight mode. Even tried doing this using the buttong on the tray as suggested by infestor.
I have to physically remove the sim card. This is turning quite a bit of a problem. Tried to take it to my phone operator. In front of them it suddenly started working fine.
Should i add that mine is an old sim card. i think a 16k sim card. it was issued in 2000. Can tha be a reason?
Regards,
Vinit.
I had problems on my prophet loggin into network because I had manual network selection. Somehow it didn't connect to chosen network from time to time, so I turned it to automatic and everything is fine since then. Maybe this will help ?
settings/phone/network -> network selection (under WM6 and WM5 i think)

Tried this as well. The only solution which i have right now is to switch off my phone when i m flying..and switching it on again...
the only solution is to press green button (call button) after you switch off flight mode and it will work.
Firstly I would like to thank numourous people on this website, as a long time reader and solver of a few phones I have had over the last year, its thanks to you people that I have been able to fix, upgrade, and modify these phones.
Thank you all.
My problem is I recently bought 3 of these SPV m3100 from a local boot sale, 2, I've got working, unlocked and WM 6.1 installed and mobile shell, running perfect, the other one starts and gets up to the phone password, which I have no Idea what it is, I've tried to do a hard / soft reset ,I can get it into bootloader, but It trys to sync with activsync but says "unlock password !"
I've also tried a 1gb micro sd card, but again nothing happens as its locked, I've downloaded the manual and it states that if you have lost the password, you have to clear the memory!!!
I've tried to do a hard reset but I do not get the option of returing phone to original( assuming this might get rid of the password?) I just get a white screen with no writing for me to press "R", bootloader is the coloured bars, and when normal booting, screen is perfect up to password screen!
Any help would be appreicated.
Many thanks again

Switch off the SPV M3100, then on the bottom of the phone you have the answer call and end call buttons in clusters of 3 buttons on each side. The Top button on the left is a dash like symbol -- above the windows button, and you have the same dash like symbol button -- on the right above the ok button. You need to hold down both the dash-like symbol buttons and the middle silver button at the same time, then restart the phone. The phone will ask you if you want to reset the entire phone memory and settings back to factory settings and confirm this by using the Query keyboard letter "R". Click R and it will wipe it and set it back to its original settings. Hope this helps. Thanks Pete from www(dot)86plex(dot)com
Hi,
Something strange happened with my z5c E5823 running stock 7.1.1. Here is the riddle
I got a message the other day, saying space on internal memory is decreasing and the option to transfer stuff to SD card. Since there were almost no pictures and music on the phone, I keep them on SD card, there was the option to transfer about 2GB of Apps. I choose that (big mistake when I think of it now) .
I continued using the phone while the transfer was in progress and @ some point , the phone crashed. That never happened before. Screen froze and stayed like that for around 10 min, completely inactive, and the phone restarted itself alone. After this it all seemed fine until I tried to start the Camera app. It just gave me black screen and some seconds later the message - Camera has stopped/ Restart app.
The front camera and flashlight don't work either.
Another weather app - AcuWeather didn't want to start too, but after reinstalling it it was alright.
There is no such option for the camera app and clearing data and restarting didn't help.
Decided I will do a Factory reset for the first time since I use the device and tried a manual back up of all the info to the SD card. Contacts , personal info and settings backed up successfully , but the process hanged up at 50% when transferring apps. It crashed and stooped. Tried it 2 times !
Since back up wasn't possible I proceeded with the factory reset and after that the phone successfully restored my personal data, without the apps , but the camera didn't work. I did a Software repair with xperia companion with the same result.
Another bug appeared. When I pull down the full notification bar, and want to edit/rearrange the icons/shortcuts and press the little pencil next to the settings(gear) icon, the phone freezes for a few seconds and than the screen turns black. The phone is unusable at that point, thought it works, and receives calls which i can not answer. I only can restart it, because the power button gets me to the window for power off and restart.
Than I read some camera sensors might get disconnected from the board so I opened the phone , but it was alright inside. nothing changed.
Now I got an open phone and no answer or clue whatsoever of how to proceed.
Any ideas are very welcome!
I there a way to reset the phone to an earlier version of android?
Thanks inadvance!
