crazy alarm - HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi,
my stock alarm rings every working morning at 6.02 (in past I had this setup), but I have now set it at 6.20 (not 6.02). Its the reason why I have to wake up earlier every working day.....please help me!
HD2 is very strange device.
P

no one have the same problem???

Never read anything about a problem like this before...
A soft reset from time to time?
Or, a backup of all your user data, then a hard reset and restore the data?
Depending on the ROM you´re using, HD2 can be a confusing machine indeed...
But I haven´t had any issues since at least a year. All custom ROMs I tried and used since then are good. And they got better and better, CHT made Sense a perfect UI for me...

I'm doin' soft reset about every 2 days. CHT is good, I'm using it. I have stock ROM. HD2 si definetly confusing machine... I can't wait for Samsung Galaxy S II - goodby damn Windows Mobile....
**** hard reset For everything exists some solution

Sudden hard resets

Hey guys, has anyone ever experienced the XDAII doing a sudden hard reset? I am running win2003se and the only today plugin i'm using is SPB PocketPlus. I'm using the 2.06 ROM. It has happened to me 3x in this month when the unit just suddently on its own hard resets w/out any intervention or warning. This even if no other programs are loaded into memory except the today plugin. Any advice? Thanks
I have a 2i now, but I did experience the same problem as you're describing shortly before I upgraded. As it turned out, it was the same day I ordered the 2i!!
Maybe it was feeling jealous. I must say that I only ever experienced two hard resets throughout my use of the XDA2. Once was very ill-timed as I was away on business. I didn't have any numbers for texting or anything, so I had to drive back home that day and come back again once I had resynced and rebuilt. Still don't know why it happened, though I seem to remember trying to disconnect from GPRS at the time the unit locked...then I got the high pitch ding dinnng that only comes with a hard reset.
The second time was another lockup, though I don't think related to GPRS. I was not pleased but fast forward 24hrs I had a 2i in my hand instead!
Cheers
Anthony
PS - only on the second hard reset was I using 2.06 2003SE.
Thanks for your feedback Anton. In my case of the 5 hard resets i've so far experienced, only 3 of them was because of a software induced lockup. The other 2 happened on its own without any intervention. Kinda like it just decided on its own to hard reset. I think its a buggy OS that's causing it.
2.06 version
try ExtROM1.13.000version...not the OS.
Hi guys,
FYI about my experience today.
Maybe is link to the Spb Pocket Plus ... Previous im using v 2.3 ... not a problem until today morning.. i tried to install the v 2.5 . Suddenly, ALL.. i mean ALL .. memory has been deleted.. it looks like a hard reset. but lucky my contact list and other infomation is still able to retrive... As i mean ALL .. meaning my programs, storage, extension ROM ... even my SD CARD!! .. .. What happen? I dont know. but that happened when the moment I install the v2.5 PocketPlus.
SPB pocket plus
http://www.spbsoftwarehouse.com/products/?en
from this site:
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
After installing Pocket Plus on my XDA II (MDA II or i-Mate) I can`t see storage cards indicators.
The current build of XDA II ROM contains a bug that can cause a hard-reset when a program reads data from a storage card. Due to the bug in ROM, accessing storage cards may cause complete data loss on XDA2 compatible devices. More often it happens with programs that access a storage card in a timer (like Spb Pocket Plus). There are no known solutions for this problem so we have had to disable the showing storage cards indicators on XDA II. We`ll enable this feature when HTC fixes this bug in their ROM.
But stil the hard reset occur......
got same problem... try your suggestion
I 'm also use the spb plus but v2.0 got the same problem... it just hard resetting in my pocket... I think it's not software induced... thanks for your help.

Glitch with Xplore 1.1

My FP, but I have been reading here a lot for the past week or so.
I am a Linux user... so I know a bit about what I'm doing. However, these phones are a different animal that I am not too familiar with.
I recently flashed my 15 day old 8125 with the Xplore 1.1 WM6 rom. Works great, but only one problem, sometimes when It goes to "sleep" it will not intercept a call one out of 5 times. If I wake it during that call, the indicator will pick up that it is ringing at the top, but will not intercept the call, and lock the phone up. It will fail to display some notifications as well... And the time doesn't sync to cingular. Im not on edge, I use the wifi for internet since my town is covered with APs. No, no apps are running on the phone during the call interception problems.
The ONLY progs im running on the phone are winrar, and wififofum2.
I Suspect that activesync may be causing the problems, because it.... runs
for no reason sometimes even after being turned off.
I have flashed the phone back to factory just to test this and see if it is in fact Xplore 1.1.
I want a WM6 rom, and I like Xplore, and appreciate the work done on it, but would like some help. I can't stand WM5. The tool bars are too plain, and old looking, and the stock HTC rom is a RAM hog.
Thanks.

Why don't you post problems with my rom on my thread? It's your right.
I am not familiar with this bug, post it again in the Xplore 1.1 thread and see if somebody else has it.
Also, when you say that your phone has problems, provide the ipl/spl G3/G4 ...and other info you think it may be helpfull.
Hi I'm a bit of a N00b about pdas
sorry if im asking a dumb question, but will Xplore 1.1 work on my WM5 dell AXIM X51v? and is this a wm6 update or just a wm6 addon (do u need wm6 preinstalled?) Also will this work with most wm5 programs??

Why is my Jamin stuck on Gullum's Boot screen?

Hey guys,
I successfully put Gullum's V5 Touch ROM on my Jamin and I have been using it since it came out which is a few weeks I think. Today I went to reset it and it's just stuck at Gullum's grey themed Prophet Touch the boot screen.
Does anyone know why that would happen after using it no problem for a while? Can I get any of the info on it back as I didn't syncronize it for a week. I'm guessing a Hard reset will do the job but now I don't trust the ROM if it just randomly locks up.
why didnt you flash to v6 instead?make sure you do step 1 first then proceed to doing step2.gullum is one of the best.beta testers rules!

My advice: look an search a bit more before you start a new thread. There is one (very heavy) allready about this topic. There's even an tips and tricks Wiki-page that makes notice of this problem.
My personal solution: don't restart with the cube active.
It's difficult to search threads that have pages and pages of information. My eyes can only take so much scrolling. And even using the right combination of words to search for is the next thing to be successful at. Anyways I don't want to argue with you as I have been trying to keep up with information as some of you more 'experience' have learned and retained.
I always downgrade before I upgrade and I have done it many times as ROMs just keep coming out by the week!
I'm just wondering if there is anyway to get my Pocket PC back up and running to at least get an excel spreadsheet that is in internal memory. If not then I will suck it up and hard boot it. I'm just confused why a soft reset lead to a full boot screen freeze after countless soft resets before.
We don't going to argue my friend.. it was just a friendly advice!
But did you find the thread that deals with this problem? http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=320689 It realy tells a lot about problems and solutions experienced by other pp.
As about your wish to backup from the bootscreen (if I understand you correctly) I really don't know, never heard nor red about it.
But I did read that someone managed to start up again by removing his SD card, perhaps worth trying.

Device screen sometimes does not turn on.

I have tried about 5 different WM6 roms from here mostly Gullums roms(VII, VIII, IXb, X). I am sure there are other roms that I cannot remember. By the way thank you to Gullum for his hard work cooking these roms. They seem to work fine for a few days then my device's power button will not turn on the screen and I cannot pick up a call or use the device unless I do a soft reset. The last rom I had which was VIII would require a hard reset and a lost of data. My question is wether this is the roms which have issues or just my device which is dying slowly. When I first got this device I had to ship it back to Spain because the motherboard died after a few days of use and flashing from WM5 in Spanish to WM5 in English. Has anyone had similar issues with their qtek s200 after flashing.
hope it might help!

so just change clean rom WM6 and try sor some days i guess u will find findout. hope.
hope it might help u out
I am now trying transformer 1.1 and so far no power button issues. Its only been 24hrs. The problem tends to happen anytime but usually after 1 week of installing. The other issues I was having with the other roms listed was that the program would get stuck on the second screen past the initial ipl/qtek screen. Hopefully this rom will work.
I have this problem as well, but believe it has to do with Pocket player. Are you using any applications that listen to button events?

I am not sure what you mean. Do you mean the windows music player. I am trying the transformer 1.1 rom but after 48hrs, today the same thing happened. I was just surfing the web on opera while in line to vote. It has happened while receiving a phone call as well and I cannot turn the screen on to answer. I did a soft reset and everything was ok. Unfortunatelly sometimes also what happens is that the software doesn't load and it requires a hard reset.
Actually i had the same problems when i use gullums rom for some reason.. I have had this problem with all of gullums rom except the coffie rom ! Try that and report back..
sorry, thread flush only~~
I also had the mentioned problem, especially with the battery <50%.
Sometimes, when I'm listening with the built in audio player and the screen is off, the playback stopps right after a track and the screen won't turn on again.
A softreset helped each time.
Also the phone is logged in in the gsm net, the caller hears the ringing, but the phone didn't ring.
Strange thing. I had the problem with ProphetTouch IX and VIII, yesterday I flashed number X.

I have had same issue with all of those. I'd hate to downgrade to wm5 to try it a couple of days and see. Maybe I'll do that.
After closing all running programs, especially Conduits Pocket Player, this problem seems to go away. I have noticed that when I start the pocket player and wait until the screen turns off, I can not turn it back on with the power button.
I my case it seems to be connected with Pocket Player, but it could just as well be ROM related. I'll keep looking for a source.
I hope there is a simple solution to this, as it is quite annoying.
i have the same problem b4 last time, when the batery status- lock device when wake up fuction is tick.

phone hangs and re-sets

Howdy guys,
after a little help please. I am using energy cookie rom since may with little problems.
However, recently the phone started switching itself off. I noticed it whilst streaming with 'myplayer'. Then it did it when i received a text message. Now it is doing it all the time. I have started playing a game called land, air, sea, warfare (great game btw) And the problem is worse not only does it just switch the phone off but it somehow manages to make the phone do a hard reset???????
When the phone switches back on it says it is the first time the phone has been on and goes through asking me which carrier i am using?
Also sometimes it wont switch back on and i have to false a hard reset to get it to work. I have done about a dozen hard resets since yesterday.
Any ideas please? Btw i did perform a task 29 and a hard reset after i installed this rom.

My two pennies on this:
1. Perform a task29 again.
2. Install a stock ROM.
3. Install HSPL3.
4. Perform Task29 again.
5. Install the ROM again.
Should remove all the problems and get you a good clean ROM without probs.

Howdy, thanks for taking the time to respond. So you think the issue is probably software related rather than hardware? I only ask cause that 'game' is 40 mb and i was wondering if maybe it is too resource hungry for my phone and maybe i have an issue? Ram, cpu etc?
Either way i will try and change the rom first.

I am using energy cookie rom too. I used to have the same problem like you, and i did some easy things to solve. It's ok so far and i hope to help you.
- Flash new stable radio after flash rom (someone say should flash radio in advance, but not for me). V2.10.50.28_2 is good to me.
- Turn off auto lock. It makes some disadvantages to you, but helps your device from death - sleep.

I doubt it is that game resource problem. Most probably some software conflict only. HD2 can handle 40mb game files easily.

Guess your game has got some serious conflict with the ROM and is corrupting some reg settings or some ROM settings. Probably you are better off not installing that game again. Moreover, write to the developer of the game about this issue.
With regard to the phone, just follow the same advice I gave in the first post. Time consuming I know, but your device will get back to normal. Fingers crossed.

looks like something is going on? I performed about 5 hard resets and finally got the phone to boot up. But it is hanging for everything now. I turned on bluetooth, i tried to access sense and both caused the phone to hang. So i will try your advice again, tomorrow. Thanks,
well that game definitely conflicts with the phone.
i flashed a stock rom from the sd card as advised and finally got the phone working aok. within 10 minutes of installing and playing that game the phone is back to her old ways of soft/hard resetting.
is there a way to check that it is not a hardware issue?
thanks again for all your help.
