was trying to establish a bluetooth connection with nokia 6600 and it just froze displaying the today screen

Can anybody help
Isn't There anyone who can help me...??????
Isn't There anyone who can help me...?????? :roll: :roll: :roll: :roll:
when you mean turn on do you talk about turn on as in turn on the top power connector
or a softreset ?
if you mean top power connector then that dont reset the pda you need to do a softreset
if you did mean a softreset then i dont know any other way then a hardreset which of cause delete all your data
Inderts the stylus in the reset hole, if that doesnt work then as the man said you will need to do a hard reset and all data will be lost, hard reset is done by pressing power while inserting stylus in reset hole.
Hi
Thanks for yr reply
I have aslo tried a hard reset but no luck
The device switches on and freezes on the blue O2 screen or sometimes goes thru the setup procedure & freezes at the today screen
Tried it a couple of times
Is there any other way please let me know.
Thanx again :? :? :?
Which ROM do you use? You can try to flash your ROM. There are plenty of treads on this forum on how to do this. Make sure you don't use a USB hub when connected to flash you're ROM. Your MDA II must be connected to a normal USB connection (I learned it the hard way....)

Hi
Sorry for the late reply as i was out of town
Dunno exactly how to identify the rom version but when switched on it shows
R 1.05.14
G 1337.14
D 1.03.00 USA
Can u please suggest what to do
Thanx
You can see which ROM version you have by going to:
Settings, System tab and then Device information.
Mine says:
ROM version 1.60.00WWE
ROM date: 12/03/03
Radio version: 1.06.01
Protocol version: 1337.16
ExtROM version: 1.60.06
So I guess you can do a ROM upgrade. To find out how to do it, just do a search on this forum for ROM upgrade and you'll find detailed describcions on how to do it. Make sure that your device is not connected via a USB hub otherwise you can have some trouble getting it done.

Thanx for the prompt reply but the problem is that the device starts goes on thru the new device setup programme & hangs nuthing beyong that
So am unable to go to the system settings
Is there any other way i can see the rom version...
Well the colors at the beginning tell you which ROM you have (but are only very short on the screen so hard to read) but you can defenitely upgrade.

No Bluettoth Hardware Installed Error Msg
Hey, this sounds like the same problem I have too! I have just posted a new subject in the "Using It" section of this Forum. Does your device also suffer from the following i.e. when the software ha loaded and you hit the bluetooth icon, does this error message come up "There is No Bluetooth Hardware Installed on this Device"? Pls read my post below.
"I have an XDA II, bought from the UK. I live in E. Africa so sending it back is a hassle. EVer since I bought it, although it was OK for a few days, a msg then came up saying "There is no bluetooth hardware installed on this device". This means I cannot put b/t on or off. Also, it affects the performance of the XDA II as it crashes frequently and loses ActiveSync connections frequently. The odd thing is that SOMETIMES, after a hard reset, it's OK again. But then when I do a subsequent hard or even soft reset the same problem occurs! So it DOES work. But not consistently. I conttacted O2 by email & tel. They were semi-helpful. I returned the XDA II to the O2 repair centre in London by courier (expensive). It came back, apparently repaired, but they had addressed the wrong thing and the problem still persists! I am loathe to sending it back without trying something for it - if you have any suggestions. Perhaps I can try a Rom Update or something to see if it sorts it. Even O2 are baffled, but I do not have the privilege of sending it off again because of where I live. Any suggestions or advice please? Many thanks. "
'Frozen' O2 screen with bluetooth light flashing
Hi to all,
I 've been having similar problems since I got my unit last November. You may be able to relate with my problems.. screen won't respond to any taps.. when you send SMS, the 'Send' button freezes... tried soft resetting, sometimes lucky, gets back to normal... at worst, does a hard reset...
after a few months of no reliable answer from local and foreign XDA help.. i'm used to either removing my battery/sim.. wait for awhile.. try to find a place where there's better network signal.. then, puts back the SIM and battery.. many times a get lucky by doing this... but there are also times that I had to do hard reset.. like two hours ago..
Hopefully, some help will come ...
For those who have yet to develop a routine to address similar problem, you may try mine...
Helpless xda II fanatic(???)

I have similar experience too. I got my XDAII last November, it runs smoth without a single hang for the first month until one day in January, while using it reboot by itself, after that day the device will just reboot anytime anywhere!
Thinking that this might be caused by some installed softwae, I hard reset my device. After the initial setup then it hang while running the auto installation from the extended rom saying that some file is missing. I hard reset again and it still hang while running the auto installation but saying another file is missing. On the day alone, I hard reset my device for more than 10 times! Each time it will either hang on the O2 startup screen or during the auto installation. Until finally one time manage to pass through the initial setup and auto installation.
On the second day, I quickly bring my set to the service centre for repair, while I describe and showing the faulty set to the service officer, the device self reboot for another couple of times.
I took back my set two days later, the service officer told me they cannot find the fault of this so they re-flash the rom for me, and they have tested it with internet browsing, mms, sms etc without any problem.
The 'repaired' set works fine for another one month until couple of week ago it start to hang during some incoming calls. When call was received, I press the answer key to answer the phone, the device would just hang with the ballon still showing on the screen, i'm not able to answer the call at all.
Last Friday, I finally hard reset the device again and re-install some my software applicaton and games. Second day morning while I was waiting for my friend, I start to attach photo to my contact, just when I attached the first photo and click on the save, the device hang! I press the soft reset button and the screen goes off without rebooting. I press the reset button again but the screen just won't come back. I even took out the battery and put in my backup battery, still the screen refuse to come back! The screen only come back when I performed a hard reset.
Today i found another problem with the device, the free memory is getting lesser and lesser by itself! Just before I type this reply, I soft reset my device and leave my device on the momory status screen, the allocated momory for the program showing 63.02Mb, in used 16.96MB and the Free momory 46.06MB. Now the in use memory increases to 30.75MB while the Free memory drops to 32.27MB!! I did not run anything in the background, I did not even tough my device!!
Anybody here can help save my device?
I have the same problem now. It is really a nightmare for all of us!!!
Exactly
Have a very similar problems 4 days in the row. Self-Blackhangs without any knowing reason. Impossible to use device longer then 10 min. HELP!!!
P.S. Some days before I try to uninstall Intellisync, wich I try, but does not use for a long time. Uninstall was unsuccessful cause .exe was "in use". There problems begins. May be. After one of hard-resets I remove .exe manually and then uninstall prog, but problems persists.
Hi guys, Fortunatly I do not have the same problems with my XDA II but I was thinking maby it is a type of software that has been installed on the device, I have noticed that some apps can cuase VERY strange things to happen (Even some THEMES!!!).... LOOK out for this..
Maybe you could try and run the XDA II after doing a hard reset as bare as possible... As in not installing any other themes or thirdparty software for a day or two and see if the device still gives your any problems... Will be interesting to find out.. I have had resets on my XDA II from using some themes avalible from the O2 website (that users have made not O2, but still) and since using the default theme I have not had a crash or a reboot since... (THIS TOOK ME FORVER to find out)... but might be worth a try..
Keep us all informed how you go with things.. Hopfully its just a pice of software or somthing simple like that...
GOOD LUCK ALL!!!
So, guys, I think that there is a HW problem. MDA freezing during initial install or during HardReset before install. Maybe "motherboard" is microbroken or so on.
Week ago I return my MDAII to T-Mobile and they will repair it to some way. I will report this way to you all as soon as possible. Let we see.

Hi all,
I have the following devis info of mine:
ROM version 1.66.00WWE
ROM date: 02/20/04
Radio version: 1.10.00
Protocol version: 1337.18
ExtROM version: 1.66.101
This Rom works great, just search for it and upgrade!!
Wish you all luck!!!
sounds a lot like the problem I'm having.
Can any of you guys install a new rom at all? mine freezes up and activesync disconnects the second it does... So I guess when flashing your rom and having it freeze up on you, you'd be even further from a solution... thoughts pls
I fixed it guys...
seems a corrupted rom was the problem hitting bootloader mode (power + action + stylus) and installing a new rom fixed my problems
let me know how it works out for you guys
i removed the 02 logo from the top of my xda2 now my phone dont refresh the desktop correctly, how do you reinstall the 02 software?
thanks in advance
I have seen this after I uninstalled O2 Active. Just do a soft reset and that should sort it out.
just tried that, no luck, thanks tho
Did you unistall both O2 active and the O2 Active installer?
v2r setup o2activeuisetup is still in remove programs, should i uninstall it
Yes I think so. I certainly did and I managed to get rid of the problem. If I remember correctly, I uninstalled the v2r setup o2activeuisetup first, then uninstalled O2 Active. Im sure the solution is there somewhere
just tried that, still the same
If you are prepared to do a hard reset, then I suggest you do that, then uninstall the V2R setup then uninstall O2 active - with soft resets in between. I think thats how I did it.
ok, once i have backup my settings i will try that later this afternoon
OK. Please let me know how it goes.
will do, wont be untill around tea time tho, around 1800
ok, just tried a hard reset, got the screen back, i followed your instructions, but it still went the same, half missing / corrupt
Having just upgraded to the new O2 ROM, I had the chance to do this myself.
The solution is very simple .
Before or after uninstalling O2 Active, go to Start/Settings/Personal/Today and select a different theme than the currently selected one, and tap OK.
I just did this and I got a nice clean Today screen.
i can also confirm that DCS has hit the nail on the head as i had the same prob and this is how i resolved it (i chose the spiral theme coz its quite nice and it will do for now until i put my cartoon skull and crossbones back on)
I have a GPRS account @ my SP with all the things I need to check my mails, send wap based smses, or check/dl stuff from the net
it has worked OK with wm2003...
it has worked OK with wm2003se...
it has worked OK with wm2005...
but it is not working any more!
in the last two weeks I made hard resets on a regular basis (every another day) installing and trying out softwares on wm2005, sometimes when I needed destinator or tomtom, I uploded my wm2003se full install - after finished, back to wm2005...
as things and limitations clear now with wm2005 (and also have all get arounds for dest & tomtom problems) I would have a full WORKING version of my ppc with wm2005...
but I figured out, that regardless of I make all the correct setup with passwords, gatways, usernames and so on (which I now by heart now the thing refuses to go online...
it tries to connect then say: check your settings...
I am NOT about to check the setup, but to ask you guys has anybody same problem?
anyway it's an xdaII/bl 1.01/wm2005g/no other soft installed
thanks
and - after another hard reset - voila, it suddenly started to work and still working...
although - compared to wm2003 & wm2003se - it has a strange behaviour: when the connection lost (for some reason, usually after a few hours) I cannot reconnect, I have to soft reset
any comment?
hey there!
First of all, a big congrats for b4. It's made my Qtek S200 one of the most complete phones I've ever handled. Using for a while now, I've decided to ask you guys about two problems I've had. First, my phone has stopped vibrating. I know it's not a physical problem since I downgraded to my original rom and the vibration started working again. But once I upgraded to fantastic b4, no vibration.
2nd problem is I'm having trouble activating both bluetooth and wifi. For bluetooth, the only way I can get it to activate is by clicking the bluetooth at the bottom right of the today screen, and that just after I've done a soft reset. There's no way I can get it to activate using the Comm Manager screen. Now for wifi, I've the same problem. I can't get it to activate even after doing a soft reset.
Anybody has any ideas for my problems? Thanks for letting me know.
p.s. I've installed the PCMKeyboard which is an emulation of the iphone keyboard and now my ppc is uniquely thumb dependant!
I installed gulum's Touch v6 and now both the bluetooth and wifi are working correctly. However still nothing for the vibration...
Hi all!
When I installed the Cyanogenmod 7.1 on my SGS2 yesterday (YAY!!!!) I had, at some point, removed the numbers on the top row of my keyboard. I don't remember playing with any settings, it seemed to come stock with the mod. I had to reinstall a few times and wipe clean everything and now that my phone is fully functionnal under Cyanogen, I'm unable to redo that.
So, does anyone know how to change the keyboard settings so that when I hold the E letter, the first thing that pops up is not a friggin 3?
So far I tried changing the keyboard input langage to French (Canada) and the interface langage as well to French (Canada) but to no avail
