Hi all menber
I have O2 , normaly i using it no problem , but from 3 days ago , it often power off when i put it in the pocket ??? please help me
Thank you
When you say power-off you mean the little light stops flashing? Don't worry about the screen turning off, this is normal, the phone will continue to operate.
Just as long as your litte green light keeps on flashing all is well.
I've had a similar problem where my XDA switched off completely while its in my pocket and even during a phone call. Some time it takes two dozen attempts to switch it back on. I thought it was battery power but when i checked level in power settings it was 3 quarter full.
Has anyone experienced this problem, my XDA is one day old.
Thanks in advance.
I was going to ask a similar question. My problem is my XDA works fine while in the house but after a trip in the car 80% of the time my xda has no green light flashing then when I turn it on it acts like it has had a soft reset. I am wondering if this is a static problem.
My XDA Details
32MB Version
Special Rom 3.17.3
and radio 4.21
:evil:
We've seen all sorts of weird issues when an XDA loses signal for too long. You may want to upgrade Radio Stack if your version is rather old.
I have Radio Stack 4.21.00 is this the latest ? :shock:
I too suffer from this.
Sometimes i go to turn my phone on and it does a soft reset.
Never considered it resetting itself if it lost radio signal (using the latest stack)
Checking that sim flap is correctly place may help, if i bang mine then sometimes it resets (suspect that the sim card switch is being jolted)
Has anyone else experienced this ????
I have an O2 XDA II with 1.72 , 1.14, and for no apparent reason it just decides to turn itself off, needing me to remove the battery. Instead of starting normally, it hard resets itself :/
Any advice welcomed
Just had that happen twice. It didn't turn off though; it locked up hard. The soft reset button would leave it on a black screen. Once I removed and replaced the battery, it was hard reset. Both times it happened on airplanes, maybe it's allergic to them...
What softwares do you install to your XDA2??
if u installed Pocketplus, remove it...
it caused your XDA to be death...
No Pocket Plus in my case, don't like it. I have several programs that provide the same functions, but had not caused a problem in the past.
Do you have a link to some evidence of the Pocket Plus problem?
Hello,
I've got the same problem with a new one. Just sent it back for exchange.
The only software it might have caused problems is iStatus, which worked properly on my old xdaI before.
So however if you've installed this software as well this could be a solution ...

xda2 hard reset
Had the same prob. too, fixed it by getting rid ofpocket skype.
i seemed to have cured the problem. although i'm not sure which cured it.
The XDA seemed to start hard reseting around the time I :
a) bought a spare battery from PDAMAODS (1400mAh). Am now using the original again
b) upgraded the roms from
1.66WWE (now 1.72.00)
1.10 (now 1.17)
can't remember (now 1.72.126)
c) adjusting the power settings to turn the device off after <5 mins for both battery and external power
I now have have the power setting set to constantly on, have put in the original battery and cleared the ext rom of ALL programs, and it now works fine, although battery life is now crap, as to be expected.
Hope this helps ppl with similar problems :/
Only time that my MDA-II has to hard reset is when I set Bluetooth function on. Maybe there is a bug in Bluetooth
Hey all... first for the record, I'm a longtime lurker here but not many posts, but I'm also "answerman" over at PPCGeeks and HowardForums, probably close to 1000 posts at those sites so I am definitely not new to this world...
Looking to see if anyone else has had this issue: I went from the stock Alltel WM6 ROM to the 3.27 radio and the progression of DCD's ROMs from 2.0.0 to 2.1.0 to 2.2.1... and every one has the same issue for me: when I leave my 6800 plugged into the wall charger overnight, the next morning it is locked up solid and I have to soft reset to get it back.
I'm guessing this has less to do with DCD's ROM and more to do with the radio, but I am just looking for clarification. Anyone else seeing this?
I don't have much installed... the next step would be to hard reset and see if the problem arises with no programs installed, but I haven't gotten to that yet... all I have installed besides Odyssey Mobile are HTC X-Button 1.5, VistaHide battery meter, AIM (which I haven't even opened yet), Total Commander, Opera Mobile 8.65, and nandHP FreeCell. And I have it checking 4 email accounts via IMAP once an hour. It's fine during the day, the problem arises only when I leave it plugged in overnight.
Otherwise, DCD's ROMs have been fantastic... fast, reliable (other than the above issue) and GPS has worked flawlessly from day 1 for me... I use Odyssey Mobile (nav program that came with my Holux GPSlim 236) and I get a lock within about 60 seconds of starting up Odyssey, no need to "jumpstart" the GPS.
26 views and no responses... apparently I am in the minority...
I'd even like to hear "No, I have not had this problem" from someone... that would be useful...

No, I haven't had that problem. I'm on Verizon though so it might make a difference.
I'm also on Verizon and leave my phone in a charging cradle all night with no problems.
i have the problem, but it seems only if i leave IM+ running overnight, if nothing is running it seems to last fine
Had that problem when I used S2U2.
ok, that would seem to rule out the radio then... that was the answer I was looking for...
I am going to leave it off the charger tonight and see if it happens that way...
[I have a AT&T tilt and more often than not, it is locked up solid in the mornings, whenever i leave it on charging overnight.
Well, the plot thickens... since it had a pretty good charge, I left it unplugged overnight and it was fine this morning after 8 hours of nonuse... so it's not a "lockup during idle" thing. Definitely seems to be related to being plugged in.
Next step is to try a different charger, I guess... weird, because this was never a problem until I reflashed the radio and DCD's ROM, and this is the original OEM charger I'm using so there shouldn't be anything wonky there.
I had this issue with DCD 2.0.0 and 2.1.0, but since 2.2.0 came out, the problem has gone away. I'm now running 2.2.4 and still no problems yet. It only seems to happen if the screen turns off. If you uncheck that setting in the power management, you could avoid the issue.

Isn't the current version 2.2.3?
Edit: Just saw the 2.2.4 version for Sprint. My bad.
Yeah, well I tried that... kinda...
I have my power management settings set to never turn the screen off when it is on external power, and usually I manually put it in standby (screen off) when I charge it, but a couple nights ago I tried leaving the screen on all night and it still did the same thing... so...

i have the issue even when the screen is one (i did have the backlight turning off, that would seem an odd thing to lock it up though)

dcd posted a 2.2.4 test for sprint, its in the second post in his thread
i'm still running dcd 2.1.0 here on verizon. i only had the unit lock up overnight once... the first night after reflashing. i had left a wmirc session open and running -- the next morning the unit was locked up solid and needed a soft reset to fix.
since then, i haven't had it do anything wonky while charging overnight at all, but i usually close all apps when it's done for the night and set down to charge.
could still be a radio issue with data connections causing these crashes... not sure. given all the seemingly known issues with radio v3.27, i can't wait for an update to the radio already...

See, that was what I was wondering... the only thing that should be running when it's charging overnight (I'm pretty anal about closing apps when I am not using them) is Messaging to check my email accounts...there are 3 that get checked every 15 minutes via IMAP... I will try disabling the auto send/receive and see if that makes a difference.
I installed 2.2.4 and went to break, came back and my device was locked again. It's hooked to my pc via USB. Not sure if those details help or not. Running Vista Ultimate x64. This didn't appear to happen with 2.2.1 or 2.2.2. Could just be coincidental. Overall, great ROM!
i am having the same, my phone is password protected in the morning when left charging overnight. I am currently using DCD 2.5 but it was also happening using PPCkitchens newest build. After doing a little research it seems to mostly be happening to the Alltel 6800s.
mine usually locks up once or twice during the day, and only when it is in a timed-out/sleep state. I have to push the reset button/hole thing to bring it back, but I have never woken up to it being frozen, but that could be because of my power settings.
Set your screen/power to always stay on when plugged in on external power, but still to time out/off after 1minutes on battery power. You should set it to that, because I let mine charge all night and never wake up with it frozen.
also, when mine does freeze, during the day, the service light is still blinking green, like it still has a signal...i dont get it. you would think that would stop too when it froze. hmm.
it happens to me a few times...seems to happen after a new rom update...but mostly goes away after a few days..i noticed it alot after 3.2.0
i leave it charging and i thinks it just in standby until i push the power button...but its frozen and got to soft reset
i posted about it on this page http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=402920&page=38
My issue is not that the phone is frozen but is actually locked with a password and I have not set any passwords or lock on my phone. I have tried the epst unlock code, and my phone number but it still will not unlock unless I soft reset.

Buy it in marketplace, or get Nokia Drive, this you can get for free..
Hi. I use Navigon 4.1 on my HTC Mozart. Did anyone noticed that after using the program for more than 20 mins, the phone turns very hot (i never imagined that a mobile phone can turn this hot). I used it a few times to go to a city 80km and after reaching, when i touched the phone for turning off the navigation, it was really hot. The screen stopped responding to my touch, and I had to cool it in front of the AC for a few mins before it became responsive again. (My guess: the program stresses the processor to near max capacity all the time)
I tried the same distance with nokia drive, and everything was normal. There was only slight heat production (I guess because of the screen turned on for so long), but nothing like when I have navigon on.
Does anyone else has this problem, or am I the only one?
Any reply would be helpful.
Thanks.

I know what you say. For me the phone was very hot too. I drive with it about 1100 kilometers, from Hungary to Italy, this summer. When I touched the phone it was about 50 Celsius degrees. But for me the touchscreen went without problems.
My mozart screen normally gets hot when i play for long minutes or when gps on... so i think its normal, or maybe another general bug among the mozart family like the touch problem...
After riding my motorcycle in the rain, my P780 started turning itself off and on. I assume the power button sort of makes contact from time to time. At first it would allow the phone to boot before shutting down and then power on. Now it's just resetting itself every few seconds.
Has anyone heard of something like this happening? My 2 problems:
1. How do I stop it? I'm afraid it will break for good with all the shutting on and off. I can't stop it because I cannot remove the battery. I am in Vietnam and don't have access to any tools. So I just here a vibrating sound every 2 seconds or so when it turns on. The screen flickers a bit, then it shuts itself down. Repeat.
2. How the hell will I explain my problem to a service? Nobody speaks English here and I am not in one of the big cities.
I have no idea if the water played a role in this. Maybe it's a coincidence. The phone is currently in a big bowl of rice. I have no idea if it will do something. It's been there for over 3 hours and the battery doesn't seem to be giving out soon.
So yeah.
Help!
edit: it stopped resetting.. Now it just stays with all three buttons lit.

Hi. It seems that the condensation played an interesting role in this problem. Let him dry few days then try to charge him again. See what is going on after...

Hi,
Something similar happened with me also. Last week I was using the phone and suddenly it slept from pocket and
fall into full bucket of water. Immediately after this I taken out my phone from bucket and saw that it was starting again and again.
Without wasting anytime I dis mental my phone and kept under hair dryer and gave heat so that all water can get dry.
It was my luck that when giving heat and assembling it. It started working.
Now it is almost a week since this incident was occurred. everything working normal.
Hope it should help you.

This afternoon I took it to a shop. The guy took the battery out, put it back in. Phone starts working. After a few hours same thing starts happening again. At least now I got a video and I can show to him tomorrow. I still don't know what the real issue is.
Indeed the power button contact was at fault. After fixing that (twice, because I managed to fill it with water again) I have a new set of problems:
1. The signal of both phone cards is awful. Useless 99% of the time. I see a lot of people have this issue
2. The security applications magically changed to chinese and there doesn't seem to be an option to turn it back to english (this coming from a mandarin speaking girl I met on a bus)
3. I constantly get the message that I cannot install applications because I have no space available on the phone. I just run the chinese security app cleaner and it ejects 250MBs of garbage.
I guess installing a custom ROM might fix this? I don't know almost anything about ROMs and it is really important I don't brick the phone. My phone seems to alteady have a custom ROM. I have Vibeui 2.0. Do you have recomandations for a stabile and easy to install english ROM?
Thank you very much

Hi. Try to install a fresh new stock ROW firmware or custom ROM called Life. From Life you could try flashing modem software from my post How about some modems.
Good luck and Happy new year.

Thank you for the answer and a happy new year to you too!
The problem is that I really have no idea how to that. Is there a page somewhere that describes the necessary steps I need to take? And is there a high bricking chance?
Thank you again.

On the third point, no space available on the phone, either you're really out of space (check it, due to weird partitioning of the internal storage, might be true, but if you are trying to install through Play store (and know you have some space left), there is a known issue with the MTK chipset and Google Play Services version, giving this error. My workaround was to uninstall Play Store (it will not uninstall, but roll back all updates), then quickly install/update apps because the Play Store will update itself automatically again (can't stop it). Very annoying, but it works... After I upgraded to KitKat, no more issues with Play Store.
