Hi guys,

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
Hello All,
Thanks to everyone who makes this site such a terrific resource. Can anyone tell me what the icon on the attached jpg means? I can't find it in any manual and it appears regularly. :? The icon identified by the red arrow didn't appear on the ROM that came with the phone from TMobile, or at least I never saw it for the year prior to changing ROMs.
T-Mobile USA refuses to enhance their ROM with the wireless modem feature so I got a cooked ROM from http://lumpistefan.dyndns.org/ (excellent site btw) and now I'm using the wireless modem feature to my hearts content with a ROM from o2.
Many thanks!
Looks like a missed call icon to me.
Thanks, but I don't think that's it
I get the phone icon with the exclamation point whenever I miss a call. I thought at one time it might be a missed call icon, but it doesn't appear when I call my cell from another line and don't answer. I don't see any connection between this icon and any particular event. It seems to occur completely at random. :?
I think this icon means the radio has just been turned is off and it appears normally as the device starts up after a soft reset and only appears for a couple of seconds as the device loads the radio and finds a connection. I think it's supposed to indicate that you can't make a voice call at this moment.
do you have IACallerID installed? thats the icon that shows when it starts up i think
BINGO! Thanks dabtran!
I just spent the last two hours researching this and came across the Caller ID 1.0 for Pocket PC help file in the windows directory. The very first paragraph describes a not ready icon that will appear. I've played with the photo contacts a bit, but I found it a pain. Anyway, I went back to the photo contacts and added a photo to a contact and an icon like the one I posted showed up only without the 'x'. Then I knew where the icon was coming from. I was just logging on to post my findings when I saw your post. Thanks for confirming my suspicions. :-D
at times callerID get closed down and restarts when that happen that icon is displayed
icon
hey even i get this icon quiet often................. was very curious bout it . but i found out wat it is. wenever ur network in goes off in the sense ur network strenght will show 100 % but it just cuts off for a few seconds and ive noticed if u click on it it just vanishes.so du nworry.its just the network problem. it wont affect ur calls since it lasts for a very small amoutn of time . :lol:
Hello all,
I'm new here, have read lots of the information available, but came here looking for an answer that I haven't found yet.
Situation is the following.
I got this Qtek2020 (or XDA II) from my dad who used it for his work. The reason he stopped using it is because the "phone" function itself is kind off acting weird.
Sometimes it is just nog possible to get into phone mode, neither of the two methods make te device display the dial pad...
- hitting the green button
- going Start-> phone
(It's kind off like a non responding program in windows when you want to execute it)
To make things clear, the phone works fine if we go to contacts and then choose the option to call the contact.
The question is, does this problem seem familiar and is there a way to fix it by for example putting a new rom on the device?
Any help or input about this is greatly appreciated.
Thanks in advance
I think the HARD RESET should help . After a long... long work configuration data and other settings going to be ... melted . If U don't store on devise impotrant data just remove the battery for about 20 mins .
Hello all.
I have a little, but very annoying problem on my HD2. Im on 3.14, 3.03, WWE flashed with SSPL (previously was blocked on a ****ty NLD (dutch) version rom)
All is working fine, ive installed many apps, and games.
However, it seems when i exit some games (tower defence is very buggy, or gameloft Ferrari game), i go back to the home screen and i notice the clock has changed time. But im not sure its the games that do that, i just dont know what makes it change.
Say its 9.15, it will be 11.15. If its 7.20, it will show 9.20.
It seems it always adds 2 hours on my time. How come? Data connection is always turned off (i dont wanna use it) and its not connected to internet, so it cannot check internet time. But why is it doing this suddenly? wasnt doing this a few days ago, and i havnt really installed new stuff in those pas few days.
Thanks in advance for all explanations
Afgter having looked into the problem, it appears it is because of GMT zones and IGO8 nav programme.. any one else had a similar problem with the software?
I think it syncs gps time (greenwich) and this is what creates the problem, or at least the software is inteferring with the phone... damn..
Nobody else has this problem? I thought it was from IGO8 programme, but now when i exit some games, it also changes the time by 1 hour. Why is this? The minutes are always correct, its just the hour that jumps 1 or 2 hours..
This is really frustrating.. Anyone has some help suggestions? (apart from buying a proper watch? )
Thx!
Assuming that you have the correct time zone, then the problem is that the phone is getting its timing from the phone network.
Settings -> Menu -> All Settings -> Personal -> Phone -> GSM\UMTS Services -> Time Synchronization -> Get Settings. Untick 'Automatic change time zone and clock'.
Thanks buddy for the clear answer. I didnt even know those setting were available via the "MENU" in the seetings
But i set all time zones correctly, why was it changing the thing? Im GMT+1, and everywhere in my phone it was put in as GMT+1, so why would it add another hour? Anyways, time will tell
Get a +thanks! Will report back to see if time doesnt get distorted again
This is a general problem in HD2 phones all over Europe and all over different ROMs
There are already a lot of threads about it (search "winter time change") and the only solution offered by HTC until now is to switch off time sync completely (in personal -phone settings and settings HTC time sync)
HTC already promised a solution to several members of XDA as posted 3-4 weeks ago but still has no solution to it.
At start, sorry for my awfull English, but I just want to help and I never seen people from Bosnia (europe) to write something usefull on this forum except our neighbourhood Serbs ....
starting at 10.00 AM I'm never before write any word on this forum, but I used frequently and I just want to help other people about solving this famous problem.
I have niki "htc touch dual" for 5 days, and I see that is very strange behaviour of my touch screen, I try to align screen and get over and over same window
After 12 hours of trying, surfing internet, seeing all kind of problems about this, I found some other codes of touch calibration, and with "CeRegEdit" put some...
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\HARDWARE\DEVICEMAP\TOUCH]
"CalibrationData"="1903,1948 3181,636 3187,3240 607,3242 592,648"
but it's not worked for my phone,
so, keep trying more option, than I see, MSP_RemoteAlignment program, also good for skiping but, now I have unusefull touch
then I found welcom.not (to put on root of sd card, just making txt file blank and save as WELCOM.NOT for skiping align screen, but its same option as skip in MSP_remote Aligment program...
then, reinstalling all of yours roms here in last 356 days that you posted , no result, except that 6.1 all systems, not working skip in software, or cannot change registry value, but 6.5.x working..
and finnaly, now is 10.01.PM, I found solve of problem..
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\GWE\TOUCH]
minimum tap time I put on 50, and it works!!!!!! accidently?!
every next time to align screen is work!!!
no welcome, I'm tired, good night
