:?: HI,
I have little prob.
It's very important for me to know how long are my calls in and out.
This info exist in device infos, but I can't reset this infos every month.
Anybody me have tell about "XDA manipulator" for reste this infos.
I've buy a serial-cabel and download the XDA-manipulator...
but I can't find this option.
I hope you con help me.
My Radio Ver. are 4.16
(sorry, my english are very bad but I hope you can understand me)
On the main Manipulator screen, next to 'Call Timers: non zero' there is a 'Reset' button - press that. See the instruction page for what it should look like.
Failing that, you can use the call log timers. Fire up the phone app (press the green off-hook button), hit the 'Call log' button. Select 'Tools, Options...' hey presto, you can reset this whenever you like and you don't have to be at your PC. This doesn't reset the In/Out Call Duration mentioned above.
rgds,
Alex.
Hi Alex,
thank you for your tip.
Now I have the counter reset.
Bye, bye

To be perfectly honest, and I'm sure a lot of others feel this too, the XDA's call stats features are sh1te!!
Unlike virtually every other phone on the planet, there are no easy ways to say "this month you have used your phone on outgoing calls for XX mins" etc. The call timers thing is crap cos it's only extremely basic.
I've found a great little program called Funnysnake TodayPhone Pro, and it's much better to use, though I must admit I do still tend to check the xda's inbuilt call log on the fly.

Does anyone know a way to know if an sms has indeed been sent away? some Sms's just don't arrive and there is no notice to confirm the fact that it was sent off.
Lionel,
Pocket PC 2003 solves this. It displays a little message bubble when a message has been successfully sent.
I have seen that in Pocket PC 2002, if I write and send a message and turn off the display before the message leaves my phone, it will never go. But it will give you the error messge when you go back into your SMS's.

Go for the 4.00.10

Hi Ranger,
Can I be sure everything will work all right by upgrading to 4.00.10? I read quite some comments about a series of problems and some people going back to previous versions. Isn't it going to bust up my phone settings in Belgium? Someone wrote not to do any upgrades unless your an expert technician.
2. If I do go on with the upgrade can I just use sd-backup and get my stuff back from Sd-card? Isn't that going to restore my old system?
3. I don't know anything about technics. Most of the options on http://cuba.calyx.nl/~jsummers/ROMkitchen/ sound like Chinese to me.
Sorry for all the dumb questions, but I want to make sure I'm not going to run into trouble.
Hi Ranger,
I decided to run the risk anyway. I can probably do a hard reset and backup if I get into deep trouble.
I went to your link, but as I am a complete beginner at this, I got stuck after 'building the rom now'! I asked for the 'Installer.exe' but couldn't find it on my pc. What shoud I do?
greetings,
Lionel
Ok, first off. Back up your XDA ROM to your SD card. I've never done this, but I'm sure once this is done you can copy it to your desk top.
Secondly, yes there is a possability that it will kill your phone. See http://www.xda-developers.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=1624
But I have never had a problem, once I stick to my golden rule. Close EVERY PROGRAM that you possibly can while doing the upgrade. And son't touch your computer while it is doing it as well. It's a tiny price to pay. If you're using USB it shouldn't take more than 5 minutes. With Serial cable, I heard it can take upto 20 minutes, maybe more.
As far as downloading it, after you've selected the options in the ROM kitchen [whici belongs to Jeff Summers by the way, not me ] make sure that the bar up the top is still green, NOT RED.
Next, down the bottom there are three options. For yourself, choose the EXE file. After a few seconds, might take upto 30 seconds, up the top of the screen will be a button to down load your file. Just save it somewhere on your computer and run it.
Make sure that your phone is in it's cradle which should be conntected to your computer [or connect the phone to the computer with a serial or usb cable]. Also make sure that the power cable is plugged in.
I think some people have advised taking out your SIM card but i never have.
That should be it.
Let me know either way. If it messes up, just pray that it's after 5% or 10%, so I hear. If so we can try the second option.

One last thing. Take a note of your Network provider settings [GPRS etc...] before you upgrade. They will not be in the new 2003 image.
I forgot when I was doing mine and no longer have my GPRS settings
Hi Keith,
I'm trying it out right away. I have the backup on the sd-card, so that should work fine.
Just be careful with your SD card. I have heard a few reports that it sometimes gets erased in the PDA. Can't remember when or where but if you search the forum you might find it.
Good Luck. It's worth it.
if all you need are sms delivery reports, just click on options when in the compose sms screen and then click on delivery reports, unfortunately you have to do this for every sms as there doesnt seem to be a way to switch it on permanently.

Hi,
I've been trying to cook about 20 times since the 1. of August. Tried about everything. Tried all the roms, with and without adding software. Turning off my firewall. Trying all the Rom's. No other programs running.
This is what happens every time:
After selecting the items, I choose the 'install.exe' option and choose 'build rom now'. It starts doing 'something'. I have ADSL and after about 10 seconds the blue bar at the bottom is completed. At the top of the window in the yellow background it keeps saying
'Creating rom... Please be patient
copying rom Files
running mkrom
even after waiting for 30 minutes nothing more happens.
What am I doing wrong?

Radio Upgrade
@rk
No.
There's no Radio Stack Unit (RSU) Upgrade integrated.
As it depends on the location, where you live, be carefull, which you choose.
For me living in (good ol') Europe the RSU 4.21.00 from O2 UK webside is working.
My native language is Greek and naturally I send Greek sms.
The only problem is that XDA sends them using Unicode character set meaning that over 70 character messages will be splitted.
Does anybody know of any solution on this issue?
I have an O2 payg sim card, even though I ask for delivery reports on sms each time I dont get them, reason being the remaining balance comes in as an sms which cancels the process somehow. Has anybody got a solution to this?
regarding the last, on o2, put *0# in the subject line, and the main sms in the body.

Thank you very much, that worked a treat, I was told by somebody to put that *0# before the fone number, no wonder it didnt work, thanks again.
Hi guys,
I have just bought an o2 xda ii and am having serious problems
was trying to establish a bluetooth connection with nokia 6600 and it just froze displaying the today screen
now xda hangs after switching on and nothing works only the bluetooth light keeps on flashing
cant try anything as it doesnt function at all.
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.
Wouter
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
Hi
Please, I need your help, I have a serious problem with my htc tytn 1 :
Herm200
Radio: 1.47.00.10
the problem is that my phone's keypad fate alone, and sometimes make calls alone!
what should I do?! I have to flash ! but by what flash!
Go to start>settings>system>Key lock>Lock all buttons but power button.
This should stop it activating if the buttons other than the power button on the side are pressed...
Cheers...
Hi ultramag69
but my HTC done it alone, I do not touch it! and not even in my pocket! when the phone keypad sort, sometimes gives me a message with "3g not available, click on ok if you want to leave a voice message"!
and call the last number in my call history!
and sometimes the two buttons for call "Green & Red", not works!
is a possible problem with the ROM!
but I installed the official ROM HTC TYTN and I still have that problem!
and I had not this problem before. just lately!
that's going on with my HTC not!
No one can help me! pls
What should I do!
I have no hope now
have you thought that maybe its the circuitboard thats at fault and not the rom? maybe the call button is broken and that is what is making it dial your last number?
If you press the call button the dial pad appears , which is probably why the 3g signal message appears because the video call button was pressed, also why the last number is being dialled which is what happens when you press call twice. If you constantly delete your call history, it wont be able to call. But i know that isnt really a soloution to the problem.
The simplest way of finding out if it is the call button that is causing the problem is to lock the keys as ultramag69 has said, then the software part of your phone cannot activate the buttons. If the problem persists then you have a fault with the motherboard connections.
Thats my view on it anyway, i had a similar problem years ago with a wallaby and the call switch on the motherboard was the problem
I noticed
is that all the buttons in the front does not work, just the buttons of directions and ok works.
I always have same problem of keyboard of Call !
yes it is possible that I have problem with motherboard! or I did a bad flash!
Now I want to know how to downgrade please, to get back to original rom / radio / spl and bootloader possible!
thx
I think it sounds like more of a hardware problem...
After flashing with a few different ROMs, the problem should have fixed itself by now if it was software.
You may need to open Her up and poke around, use the "HTC service manual hermes" to do a search to find on the wiki for good instructions to open.
I have also this problem
i think it's abaut with hard spl end spl
how i can find the spl
i have already hard spl
but the pocket, clos end open alone the programs
for i 4 or 7 min
end plis need help
i think i'ts problem in the spl end, Rom somethink do not go together
need help ........
that is what I thought too
possible problems with hard spl!
but I repeat the flash a lot of time and I now see that it works yet.
sorry to be open about twice

Hi all
I'm sure this issue has been around for awhile, but the search function is failing me... If someone wants to point me in the right direction I'd appreciate it.
My girlfriend uses an HTC Touch Pro, and sporadically it decides that it doesn't want to hear what the other person is saying. What I mean is that there is no incoming audio to the phone. Sprint support says the only way to fix it is to hard-reset, which I'd be willing to do, except logically that tells me that the problem will eventually just come back.
Sprint ROM version is 1.03.651.4, ROM date is 11/11/08.
Any suggestions would be extremely helpful. Thank you!
Hard Reset
Try first getting a Backup program once you backup your contacts you can go to start / settings / system / clear storage /
then enter 1234 in the blank space and the hit yes this will hard reset the phone
make sure you have full charge you don't want to get stock in the middle of a hard reset!
re install the backup program run the back up and that is it...
