Elo,
I've just upgraded my XDA II to the new O2 UK ROM (.187). Before the upgrade, it was rather sluggish when turned off. It would take anywhere from 1 to 5 seconds to swith off after the button was pressed.
Now that I've upgraded, the problem is still there, AND it's now really slow to turn back on when the on/off button is pressed.
Any suggestions guys?
Thx,
B
I have the same problem but it occur from ROM 1.72 O2 UK.
I don't know the reason why it happen but it doesn't occur in ROM 1.60.
I try to remove all today-plugin but it still occur.
Does anyone have idea about it?
I have exactly the same problem. I haven't noticed that in the old O2 1.60.50 cersion but it is very bad in the 1.72.187 I have.
A couple of times it didn't turn on at all! It was only after a HARD reset it came back to life!!
I removed to O2 Active User Interface thing, and that made everything speed up a lot. Including the On/Off function.
However, after about 2 weeks, the problem has returned. The system in general is quite speedy, however the on/off is once again nice and slow.
Ergh.
Anyone got any suggestions?

Sorry, newbie question, but before I have to use my MDA Vario 2 as a door stop, does anyone know if it is possible to get out of the Multi Coloured Screen ? our office had a power cut while I was updating from WM5 to WM6 and now it is stuck on the following screen:
HERM300
IPL-1.01
HERM300
SPL-1.40.Olipro
USB or Serial (Depending if I have the usb cable connected)
Obviously I cant connect to the phone as it is not booting and Active Sync is not connecting so I can upgrade.
Am I buggered like a cat in battersea dogs home ?
OK, false Alarm, was able to recover using a hard re-set + power on button and then load the original SPL loader ! phew ! RTFM me thinks !
U lucky bastard
Ha wow best case scenario from a worst case scenario.
That would piss me off if a brick wasn't my fault haha.
Tell me about it I was, how can you say "*hitting bricks", but it's all working now. I feel so like a virgin, I firstly purchased a ROM off Ebay and then when that didn't work I had a search on the web and found this great site Now to find out more about custom apps !

<laughs> Agreed.
Glad everything worked out. Good luck!
I spoke way too soon, Everything was perfect and then half a hour ago I changed a setting in the advance configuration section about ext ROM, took a telephone call and then re-started the phone..................now it just hangs at the WM6 splash screen !
i installed the XDA Windows mobile 6 about 3-4 months ago on my SPV M3100,
everything worked fine untill just lately it started displaying just a plain white screen, not bricked because if i rapped on the power button a few times it would display everything normally?
problem is it has started doing it more and more often untill lately it decided to completely go white - i found out the phone still works just a blank screen? also some of the mounted buttons stopped working at times and would work othertimes?
ive fully charged it, turned it on and plugged it into my pc but im not sure what to do?
is it something to do with XDA, maybe some kind of virus or should i literally re-install the orange windows mobile 5 and send it back?
any help would be great! - im in a bit of a pickle here
thanks -Edd
wm6 spv m3100 white screen
hi there
if anyone is following this thread, i too upgraded first to 4.01 as good as gold, then to 4.30, Schaps ROM's. all fine but then the white screens started in 4.3, in the end about 10-14 days i had to remove the battery to boot the unit, and only thrn with PSU/USB plugged in, so power issue?
anyway i pushed thorugh to 4.31 alls currently well, keep you posted
cheers in all others senses great work all round
cheers pete
Yep, I've got this issue with my HTC Hermes but it only manifested itself after the upgrade to WM6?!
Can you ALL please tell us what bootloader you are running?
I followed the online instructions for getting Schaps WM6 ROM on board for my SPV. I shall dig them out.

Hi Folks
My Hermes/Tytn is an Orange M3100. Recently it has begun dropping calls, or rather, ignoring them. The caller could hear a ringing tone but the phone wouldn't switch on, show me an incomming call or anything. A short while later, usually after I'd switched it on (I mean, the screen, "off" is that it's on standby) I'd get the notification of a missed call. More often than not it would come through after I had made a call.
This reached a "point" on the weekend where I missed about 17 calls from the Agency to get work for me as I was the only one available
So. I upgraded as reccomended on here. Up to HardSPL 2.10, Radio version 1.41 and then upgraded to Schaps 4.22 WM6 Rom.
Now, I made sure that ActiveSync has connected and synchronised, and all my contacts and PIM info is in Outlook. However, A/S won't transmit the information to the PDA, even though it tells me it's synchronising.
The only way I have managed to get my PIM data/address book back onto the PDA was by running a custom SPB backup file to restore the calender, sms and phonebook.
This is where the fun starts. My PIM and Tasks then go "read only" merely by having a warning telling me I have no memory and to go and close other programs down. But there isn't anything else running!
Fine. Right. Ok. Obviously I've done something wrong. I did a hard reset this evening. It wiped all the data internally and reset it. I changed the details to match the username that was already stored in A/S and plugged it in.
It tells me "Connecting" and the green thing swirls around but doesn't actually do anything.
I have heard mention of the MTTY software, so I've got that here. But it won't allow me to connect on USB, only Com1, 2 or 3.
So I've a pretty useless phone at the moment. It's got none of my files on there, the satnav is rendered useless merely because I can't install the sod and all the other problems to go with it.
Short of screaming abuse at it and throwing it across the room I'm a bit stuffed. And I can't spend anymore time on it as I've got to be getting up for work at 4am (only finished tonight at 8pm ) for another full day
I've read the wiki, I've gone through the pages and pages and, er, pages of posts but I'm hitting a brick wall somewhere. I'm not as bright as you guys, but I get by.
TIA. Elwyn

The device is no longer worthwhile for me and have spoken to Mike Channon over it. If you can change that or help me change it I would be grateful
Mikechannon is the main man when it comes to the hardware side of things, if it was an early bootloader issue (related to bad NAND blocks) then thats what i was questioning your SPL version about.
If mike is confident it is the hardware problem then id take his word for it, the guy rocks
/me has to get his mikechannon ass kissing back into shape again hehe.

Not entirely sure what it is yet. If WM6 wrote to the 'wrong' part of the memory, would reflashing back to WM5 fix this?! Is there a way of repairing NAND issues?
MrVanx, I looked in the original thread that I posted in about this issue and followed you're link. Not sure whether I did or didn't at the time, but I can see there are instructions for downgrading the ROM from 6 to 5. However I am now in the situation that I can't use the USB cable as it causes it to white screen, but probably could if I did it via memory card....
white screen continued
hi there
sorry about lack of info i installed olipro 1.4 as per the instructions at the wiki i think. mine doesnt boot white, it turns white/fades to white when in use, or more commoinly i will press off after use, then later turn the unit on, and it will come white. first few times it si normal after 2nd on/off, then it stops completly requiring a hard boot, then that stops and it requires a battery off, then that stops. however it always seems to repsond when power connected, even if 100% charged or just off.
it feels to me like a power issue, still there in 4.31, wasnt there in 4.01, going back now to see if its hardware.
i will give as much info as you guys need, i got my phone from orange in may 2007

If you don't have any unbacked up data on there, give a Hard reset a shot (check the wiki if you don't know how).
i find out on forum that might be a battery problem.
So i'll buy a new baterry first.
tnx for help
Today i bought a new battery and now phone works normaly
Dear Developers..
my phone is unrooted, running on the official built in ROM and has never been experimented with.
Last night the phone was on low battery and went off. Today morning i plugged it in to charge and the charging never happened nor is the phone coming on. I tried charging the battery on an external portable charger for an hour and tried again but still no use.
The phone seems dead. Tried all ways to make it start, removing the battery and pressing the power button in case any stored power (like in laptops), tried power, home and volume up/down button, kept the battery out for over 2 hours and tried again, yet nothing.
Please advise how to go ahead. The phone already has a problem of running on Factory mode since the last two weeks, a screen pops up and remains on the desktop with all technical details of the phone and the lock features dont work ever since. data, wifi and other apps on the fone work properly. Tried to find a way to fix that but found posts requesting to root the fone to get this fixed. so havent fixed that yet.
Please help!
p.s. im not an engineer so please try to explain in simple english, however am able to work around to fix this on my own.. a little technically sound.

Good luck!
You have a hard brick, either usb jig or repair centre.
Please note this phone has never been rooted. So im not sure if USB jig will help. moreover for USB jig i though the fone should be able to switch on at least. but here the fone just wont come on, nothing comes on.
You don't understand what a usb jig is or does.
How about THIS ?
