As a road warrior I really like my 3125 but it's showing it's age and really, really looks like it's been through a war. I notices the back cover not closing very snugly anymore and looking closer notices one of the tabs had broken off so I glued it shut. This took away one of my easier ways to reboot the phone which is probably how I broke the tabs to begin with. I remember on my Wizard I had a reboot cab, that's all it did, just rebooted the device. I was wondering if anyone had something like a reboot cab for the 3125. I did do a search on reboot and everything comes up so I'm not sure how best to parse all the results down so thought I post it to the group.
Thanks
reboot
several questions
1, why can't you just push and hold the red end call key?
2, what rom are you using, several roms have that feature built in
3, are you using wm standard or wm pro?
Assuming you are running WM Std, this should work. I use it on GnatGoSplat's WM6.1 image and it works flawlessly. It adds a link to the quicklist (press and hold Home)
Mike
Magpie,
Thanks so much, that's exactly what I was looking for. I'm using it on a wm6 standard as well, just clicked on it and bang, it works.
Thanks again.
Downloaded the boot cab for my HTC Snap from Sprint and it's disabled my powering off button. Is there a feature to use that will help me with this or what?
Thanks!

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
pete
white screen update
hello again
still on 4.31 activesync isnt playing at teh moment but anyway.
on the screen thing, if i leave the unit standby itself and then power back on it seems fine, so far 3 hours of good, no white screens.
thanks pete
hi there i face this problem with my imate jasjam sorry to tell you that but this problem is a hardware problem you be confirm that it hardware by push by your 2 fingers below the screen and above the keys like you catch"hold" something bush the power key again the white screen will be disappear .sorry if you don't understand me because of my English.
Hi everybody.
Anybody solved problem with white screen?
I have the same truble as EddTQ - White blank screen & also some of the mounted buttons stopped working rarely 2 week before white blank.
same problem here.
Maybe a radio problem?
Folks,
The problem you are describing sounds like the flex connector.

OK, so I have an Atom exec and I tried to install a new ROM on it.
The process was going along quite well until the thing booted up for the first time and I had to 'align' the screen.
The problem is my old Atom Exec has a horizontal crack about two thirds down the screen and while this does make it hard to type on using the stylus the thing as a whole still works and I was hoping to use it as an alarm clock (OK, a stupidly overpowered alarm clock with wi-fi, bluetooth and a touch screen).
Does anyone know of a ROM that won't need me to align the screen?
Willing to try pretty much anything as at the moment is might as well be shiny paperweight.
U should search first. Now don't tell me that I am pissing u of as the same thing is avail on these forums somewhere, I have seen it.
OK U search for "MSP Remote Alignment" on the net and download the prog and it will automatically do the alignment for u. That is all I know rest u do and also explain here for others for future reference please.
Also read this:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=490245
OK, so the assumption that I haven't searched for this is a little rash. I have. I even found that program you are recommending (sure, I may have found it after my original post but I found it none the less) the problem is that as far as I can tell it can bypass the screen alignment but then I am left with a touchscreen that is totally useless..... any touch results in a 'top left' response.
Yes, this program will (accoring to it) inject the screen alignment information into the phone but as far as I can tell all it does is fire up the screen alignment program again.
Also you may have noticed that this program requires a soft reset of the phone and th epopular ROMs I have seen here require the installation process to go from start to finish without a reset.
So I was asking if anyone had had a similar problem before and could recommend a way for me to proceed.
Thanks
(and tjkhattak61, while it may not soundlike it I really appreciate your reply)
Wow......am I that harsh, lol. OK what I did is I made my self do this for u so u don't think we here at XDA don't help .
I tried it with a hard reset and after the calibration and soft reset I started of with the normal customization and every thing went well. Hope u satisfied now and sorry if u felt that I am harsh, meeeeee and harsh no way.
Thanks very much for you efforts, I will give it a go tonight.
ok, so I have hit a small problem.
The WM 6.5 rom installs fine (thanks!) but I still cannot align my screen and I have managed to lock the screen. The slider to unlock it will not work and I can't even update the ROM to start from scratch.
Any suggestions?
Also my experience with the MSP remote alignment is the same, the part where it skips the alignemnt works a treat but I cannot get it to align the screen for me.
I have read that there are applications out there that will let me remotely control the phone but so far I cannot find one that works (or that I am able to get to work)
Help much appreciated.
Thanks
OK can u try by pressing hard button for the windows key and going to settings and then with the help of the hard keys going to the System and then go for Screen. I did it once and I never used the Stylus please try it u may get to carry out the alignment.
Not all is going according to plan, I might just give up and invest in a new touchscreen (not that they are expensive).
I managed to get 6.1 back on it but functionality is low with out some semblance of touchscreen usage.
Oh well,
Thanks for all your help.
First I'd like to truly apologize if this question has been answered before (which I am afraid it may have been).
But today I flashed my Verizon XV6800 with a 6.5 beta5 rom.
Well, after it installed, um, well it won't load basically. After the "Windows Mobile 6.5" screen pops up, a white screen comes up. I don't exactly know how to fix it and reflash it or anything, because my phone isn't detected.
Is there some way to reset the ROM? Like, holding down buttons while it's loading?
I'm truly sorry if this has been answered before, and greatly appreciate the help.
Flash a GPS radio and then hard reset. Followed by a battery pull for a few minutes.
How to get into bootloader is power camera and reset button at the same time. I usually press power and camera at the same time, then press reset button for a sec and let go of them all.
First off, thanks for the reply. Also, I am from Pittsburgh, PA. Cool coincidence. Well, a little north.
Now that I'm at the boot screen, it was able to update again. I know you probably get this question often so thank you for taking the time.
I'm afraid to reinstall that 6.5 mobile beta I tried before. (I'm going back to 6.1 right now). Is there a good 6.5 you recommend? I'm going to try the search feature here, but was interested in what you think was best.

Once your bootloader is unlocked and you have a GPS radio you can try as many as you like. I guess I would stay away from Beta ROMs. Other than that I dont have a recommendation.
This sucks... out of the blue my touch screen went all kinds of screwy on me. I'm gonna list everything that is going wrong...
1. When sending a text I can see the letters along the bottom of the keyboard scrolling back and forth really fast, as if I'm dragging my finger across it.
2. When on any of the home screens, it's acting like I'm pinching it, like the new sense screen selector thing keeps zooming in and out but I can't select anything.
3. I can't select items on any of the home screens, it is action like I have my palm resting on it or something...
4. When I select something on a menu, it acts like the input is a couple of inches below my finger (i.e. I select power off, it selects turn off mobile network)
If I press the power button to turn off the screen, I can press it again and ulock it, I have full functionality for about 5 seconds, then it freaks out again. This seems to be consistent, however annoying to have to do this all the time to send a text message.
This first happened while using the latest ChronosDroid ROM (CronosDroid_2.1.2), I reflashed with VillainROM 12.0.0 twice, and once with the newer RCMixV10, the symptoms are the same accross all ROMs, the only similarities is that they're all v 2.1 with Sense. I did a wipe of everything before each install.
I am going to try going back to v2.0 with some other ROM (probably SenseHERO-2.1-090610-B5, cuz I liked that interface...) I'll post back if that fixes it... If it doesn't, what can I do? I really like this phone, I hope it's not busted...
***Edit***
Purchased new digitizer and replaced it, all is back to normal.
I had this problem with cronos froyo, wiped everything and flashed fusion rom 6.1.1 and hey presto, everything was fine. Try it it may work for you aswell if not, something more sinister may be at work :$

I'll give that a try. I had flashed to that version before to test it out, but that was before the screen was all messed up. I used the hard OCed version to 710, I'll try the SOC version this time and see if I have better luck.
I did flash with the aforementioned sense hero, and it is still a little bit messed up, but it doesn't seem as bad... I wonder if the OC from the Froyo is partly to blame. This is just so random... That is the only link I can think of. If the Fusion 6.1.1 is the cause, how can I make sure the CPU is back at it's default frequency? I never use any OC tools...
K, response is a little better but still jacked. I think I have a nand backup thing from before I installed Froyo, I've never had to restore a backup before, is it a bad idea to restore a backup from v2.1 on a 2.2 ROM? Or should I restore the backup and reflash to something else?
Restoring to a 2.1 from 2.2 will be fine mate, which Rom is the 2.1 you have as nandroid restore?

Unfortunately this is a hardware problem. I have the same problem and after searching for a solution, I understand that this is something about display's touch part and you have to return it to HTC to change it.
In my country there is no valid HTC center and I cannot trust lcal repair shops so I have to deal with it and change my beloved hero in near future.
But for now, after installing different ROMs I find out that the best keyboard is default HTC sense keyboard and I dont know why. Currently I've installed Froydvillain 1.2.2 and use HTC_mod keyboard and it almost works for me with a bit struggle.

Just do this yourself. You can buy the touch window off eBay for £25, and replacing it will take 20 minutes - see youtube for videos.
Have had same problems which then lead to the bottom 1/2 to 1cm of my screen becoming completely unresponsive. I managed to get my screen back to perfect working order without replacing it at all as this seems to be caused by the screen slightly coming away from the frame.
I detailed how i sorted it in this thread:-
forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=7710742&postcount=99
I had this problem with CMH-1.4.3 (Vanilla). I did a nand restore to VR12 but the same happened. Then I realised that the screen was a little up from his "standard" position let's say, if the screen is normally like this
______ <-screen
mine was slightly up (diagonally) at the top
_____-
I pressed the two upper corners of the screen with my fingers and everything went back to normal
Try this first, and then if you want, the Hairdryer solution
to all guys having the same issue, did you guys try to fully wipe & re partition your sdcard? try it & let see it still having same issue. best try do a clean flash of rom.

Interesting indeed. I did not see that my screen was raised at all. I have formatted, used a new microSD thinking it could be anything. When the screen goes wonky, I can set it on the table and it will continue to type in random characters until I hit the power button.
This isn't isolated to one area of the screen though, and pressing the phone together making sure the screen isn't raised does nothing to fix it. I think the digitizer is just going on vacation. Laying it down, it will keep typing in letters, if I hover my finger about 1 cm from the screen it will sense that my finger is there and interrupt the auto imput fuction that has been enabled, but doesn't stop it permanantly until I press the power button and unlock it again, then it all starts over.
I've taken the device apart and reseated everything and it didn't help. I think I'm going to take a chance and order a new digitizer from eBay. I really like this phone, don't want to have to get a new one.

Ah, thank you. Again wasn't sure if this was a bug in the rom, or I screwed up the hardware or something.
On a lighter note, I ordered a new digitizer from eBay for $65, got it in today and replaced it and it's back to 100% functionality!!!! w00t!! Thank you all for your help and suggestions, XDA is the best thing to hit mobile phones since the wheel! I'll update the title of the first post to notate that it is fixed.
Okay,
I just got this HD2 as a replacement two weeks ago and was doing fine except it was going dead each night- so they sent me a new battery.
I put in the battery this morning (54% chg) and was syncing/charging the HD2 when I got the message that due to some server problem (I don't even use a server) the entire phone would have to be re-synced. It happedned on my other phone some but not yet on this one. When I deleted the PC from Activesync, the phone looked like it did a hard reset, opening screens about keyboard etc, came up and no programs were apparent. When I looked at programs list, they were still there so I started executing them and they woulset back up.
On reset for one of these the HD2 got stuck at the second "stick together" screen, the one after the radio info had gone. I've tried pulling the cards, battery plugging it in, checked the battery pins, etc but it will not get past the Stick Together screen. I've seached myself blue but cannot find anything similar.
Any assistance would be GREATLY appreciated.
Thank you,
OZ
1. Send it back if possible
2. Hard reset via volume keys - have you tried?
3. Flash new rom (stock or custom)
Give em a try!

Yeah sounds like you need to do a hard reset.if this does not fix your problem flsh a new ROM.
Had to Master Reset...
Thanks you very much for your help.
I finally did a master reset using the buttons as recommended. No further toubles so far, but I have no idea what caused it to begin with...could happen again.
Considering a new ROM for sure. I've liked this stock T-mo more than I thought as I formerly did the ROM-a-week thing with previous phones.
The Voice command and random volume problems are the only real issues I can think of that would cause me to try a new one, but they are bad enough that I am looking. Any suggestions?
