Hi all,
I've successfully recovered from the dreaded GSM error and have been using my resurrected wallaby for about 3 months now (since the gsm error). I have a WM2003SE, 4.21RSU and a PW10A1 device. Everything worked great until I've experienced this "weird" problem.
Problems:
1. Suddenly becomes "slow", delayed response to stylus taps
2. Backlight becomes "turned off"
3. If I do a soft reset (and hard reset) I end up on the bootscreen with "no radio" again (apparently gsm error)
4. All symptoms of a gsm error are evident here (can't charge and sync)
5. When I am able to revive my device and charge it; battery status remains at "charging" state or "unknown" even though i've already removed it from the charger
6. I've charged last night; when I woke up (after 7hrs) it is still in charging state
What's weird:
1. If I do a series of soft and hard resets (even entering bootloader); this gets my Wallaby back "surprisingly" with the radio on again
Questions:
1. Is it possible for the device not to detect a working RSU even though it is still there? I've done a number of RSU upgrades (all 4.21) still the problem persists
2. Can this be caused by a dying battery? I think I have a 2.5 year old battery and I don't know how to check if it is still ok (using spb plus shows good battery life though but when you run battery test in bootloader diagnostics; it indicates a charging error)
3. Can the rocker switch in the sim door be the culprit? I have a broken sim door that is just being held up by a scotch tape in place
I have read through the forum and reading through gets me more confused. I want to exhaust all efforts first before buying a new battery (which may not solve the problem). Sorry for the long post; I just want to give all the details in anticipation for a detailed solution. Thanks!
Problem solved! (I hope)
Before tinkering with the hardware and buying a new battery; I reflashed my RSU for the nth time. What I did differently this time was to remove the AC power while doing the RSU upgrade (because RSU 4.21 exe prompted me to do so, first time it happened). After this, I was able to soft and hard reset without losing my radio.
Second, I checked my OS (WM2003SE) and under device information/hardware, my data bus was set to 0. I think I corrupted my OS. Also reading from the forum re: WM2003SE bugs, I downgraded to WM2003 4.01.12 (the most stable rom so far accdg to some posts). Now my Wallaby is up and running again for 2 days without glitches. No hanging, freezing, losing backlight and signal.
I also did not re-install SPB Pocket Plus 3 thinking this causes conflict re: battery state. Saw some posts having problems with SPB applications.
Well, I still got the 2.5 year old battery (charging and working fine right now) and the broken sim door. :lol: Saved a few bucks instead of buying a new battery. Thanks to the forum, lots of useful information. Just have to piece them all together. Nonetheless all my problems with my Wallaby were successfully resolved (and hoping I don't encounter them anymore!)
Hi guys.
I need your expertise...
What do you think is the problem with my Dopod838Pro.
Everytime I use videocall, after a minute or so, my device shutsdown with a blankscreen.....and whatever I try to do, it wont wake up unless I poke on the softreset hole. My device will restart alright. But when I try to videocall again, it happens again. I just cannot complete a videocall unlike before when I enjoy videocall for over 10 minutes
You think the problem is the battery, the ROM or the radio version? I am using Shamanix' rom and have tried many versions of the radio....still the same result. My device is about 2 years old now.
thanks..
At least my TyTN started to shutdown every now and then just recently. It's about two years old as well. It only shut down when I was browsing the web over UMTS. I think the battery couln't give enough juice momentarily. Bought a new battery and everything has been fine for a week now. So I suggest replacing the battery.
thanks for the info. Guess I have to look for a battery then
I have flashed the latest HTC update with Windows mobile 6.1 onto my T-mobile MDA touch plus. But I have a problem and I don't know if this is about the firmware, the phone or the battery.
I bought this phone recently (secondhand) and actually flashed this update directly, so I don't have experience with the phone how it came.
Right now, the battery doesn't last for a day without actually using it (even without a simcard inserted). It is clean of software, only flashed the firmware and that's all.
After a day, when battery is empty, the device won't turn on with the charger connected. Even when I keep the charger connected for a whole day. Then I try some things like unplugging the charger, remove/insert the battery, press reset button, connect/disconnect usb and it eventually turns on (I don't know what the real trick is). Battery is empty then, so it didn't charge at all...
Current firmware is Nike_HTC_NLD_2.09.404.1 with its default radio (1.65.28.25). Camera works.
Does this have to do with the software, hardware or do I have a 'almost-dead' battery?
I also like to try to flash the stock firmware, but it won't flash when I have run the sspl 1.16.jump executable on my mda. Or can I just flash the phone with the new stock 1.22 spl ?(fixed)
you need hardspl first ... try again!
I did try that preciously, but the problem was that the 1.16.jump executable booted up the bootflash menu without showing usb. But I did a second try now, and it worked
I am now running the default t-mobile firmware (but I don't get a t-mobile bootscreen.. so it's not a real shipped rom I think).
Battery is 95% now, let's see how long it takes to get empty again...
Battery is empty now, so this had nothing to do with the firmware.
I try to charge the mda with a different charger, because the one that I had was an aftermarket type.
I have another question. When I charge the phone, should the orange light in the speaker turn on? It stays off here...
When in charging mode, via charger or USB cable, the light will be orange, turning yellow once fully charged.

That doesn't happen.. It charges, but it doesn't show any light
Is there a way to check the battery instead of buying a new one ?
I have bought a new battery, but the problem persists
The last thing I want to try is flashing another or original radio. I have read that battery drain can be the result of having the wrong radio version. I hope this is the case.
My device is a niki200 and it is currently running Nike_HTC_NLD_2.09.404.1 with its default radio (1.65.28.25).
I'm unsure if a niki200 device needs a different radio than niki100's. Therefore I like to get a original T-Mobile MDA Touch Plus rom (Dutch/NLD) or a radio that is 100% compatible with the phone. Which radio do I need? And where can I get an original T-Mobile rom, or do I have to request it?
I hope the problem is in the radio, otherwise the hardware itself is faulty
Problem is fixed. It was a hardware issue. The keyboard lights and gsm/charge status leds didn't work at all. Only when I moved the display housing a little bit, I sometimes got these lights working. I have disassembled the phone, reconnected everything.. and it all works fine again . Battery is 95% after 16 hours standby! I'm happy again!
all nike can use the same radios ... only japan nikes use different radios!
I want to say thanks to tuti fruiti, I had the same problem with my touch dual, followed instructions as give, and everything is fine now.
Cheers

HI,
I purchased Touch Dual from UK as SIM FREE unit last year. Couple of days back i checked the HTC web site and saw the WM 6.1 upgrade from HTC available there; So yesterday i downloaded that file i.e. " RUU_Nike_HTC_WWE_2.09.405.1_Radio_NikeMR_1.65.28.25_signed_Ship " and upgrade the device.
At the time of running the RUU the unit battery level was 70% and after the upgrade the battery was almost 55%. So i kept using the device and that was perfect. Anyhow i forgot to recharge the device and next morning i realised that Unit went off somewhere during the night. So i simply attach the charger cable with device but immedately i realised that the usual orange light hasn't turned on and after a while the red colour light shows up instaed of orange. Upon seening this i try to turn on the device and its turned on BUT went into AEROPLANE MODE automatically and stays there. And above all the BATTERY ALWAYS SHOWING THE CHARGE LEVEL IS 0% besides the fact that unit is continiously charging from the last 24 hours....
And if i remove the charger the becomes dead..
Any suggestion would highly appreciated.
This can mean two things:
1. Your battery is broken
2. Your charger doesn't work well (I had this with a blackberry charger I borrowed from someone)
The second is the easiest to check if you charge it with a usb cable instead of the charger you can see if it works or with another charger of course. It switches to airplane mode when the battery level is to low so don't worry about that. The led is red when it really has no battery level at all so also nothing to worry about
Good luck.

Thanks for the suggestion. The problem is solved ... Now i know that if battery went to ZERO level than one must remove the SIM and charge the unit.... for atleast the initial 10% charge level... after that insert the sim into unit...
Anyway Thanks again
Hi guys.
I have really annoing issue with my tablet. Few days ago my tablet run off battery, so
I plug it into charger and run on, next then I saw that WiFi is running on, but it is constantly running on and it never runs.
I do wipe and clean everything but it dont working, after few hours it start working again. I was thinking that was just weird bug and it never come again but its come today.
I dont know why its happend, it is not 'cause of low battery because my battery is full now. I have around 500mb free RAM so this is not problem too.
Additionaly when screen goes black and i wake up my tablet it slow down incredibly and it need 2 mins to go to homescreen (and it is fast again after that.).
I have PC Tablet Toshiba AT300, never rooted, witch stock rom and nevest update (android 4.1.1) and also I have poor english.
If you have any solution then help me, please.
If this post is in wrong place then moove it if you can.
