Hi guys,

was trying to establish a bluetooth connection with nokia 6600 and it just froze displaying the today screen

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
I sent my I/O tablet to Samsung for repairing a hardware defect (see http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1272086). I got it back today and now it's stuck in some factory mode. There is a lock displaying at the bottom of the screen during boot-up. I have an app called factory mode that seems to launch some sort of calculator. I am unable to lock the screen at all now. No matter what lock screen setting I try the screen never locks. Pushing the power button powers down the device in an instant. No more popup asking if I want to power down. I've tried a factory reset, but during the reset it's complaining about not having access to some directory. After the factory reset runs its course I'm back to square one. I'm not asked to setup wifi, create an account or anything. I'll obviously call Samsung support tomorrow to find out how the hell I get out of this factory mode. But in the meantime has anybody seen this type of behavior after getting their tablet back from Samsung support?
Please use the Q&A Forum for questions Thanks
Moving to Q&A
Samsung wants me to send the tab back to them cause they don't give out the engineering codes to get it out of factory mode. Honestly I find this rather ridiculous. I use this thing for development for christ sake. I really don't want to sent it back to them again being without a tab for another few weeks. If anyone knows the magic code to get the tab out of factory mode please pm me.
Thanks.
I need that Code aswell
Yeah I need that code to get out of factory mode aswell as I have the same issue.
Thanks
Which is amazing because they keep sending unusable tablets back to people after repairs. For me they set a password and I had to use ODIN to flash the original 3.0 I/O rom on it. Wouldn't even let me wipe portions in recovery.

man it is annoying i got the same problem. Anyone got the solution?
This is the exact issue I have, so this can't be cured by flashing old firmwares eh? Any solutions?
Btw, I have the 10.1 P7510 retail, not the Google I/O edition.

Got my Tab Fixed by Samsung Service Centre, In my case it was caused by missing IMEI and Serial Number.
I have the same problem, factory mode, and i already know that it is because of missing IMEI and efs folder on my tab. I have imei number on my box, isn't it possible to recover it using my imei number by myself?
the way i understand this is only samsung can take out the factory mode. so it happens on 3G tab as well, how did you get the "factory mode" in the first place?

Hello,
My screen suddenly does not work anymore.
It certainly is a hardware problem because I can start, shutdown (I hear the sounds and it vibrates normally) and access through USB.
How can I wipe before sending to RMA without seeing anything on the screen ?
Thanks for helping.
Laurent
You probably can't. Unless.... search for fast boot. You can probably hit the right combination of buttons to hard wipe it.

Thanks.
Currently trying to do this.
Hard.
Any other good idea is welcome.

Edit : Done. Difficult to do this blindly.

If it's the screen and not electronics, you probably could have used the HDMI out to a TV...using the TV as a replacement screen.
The other option would have been the "factory reset" function...using a combination of the volume buttons and the power button....I think that would have wiped all data off the device.
what are you trying to wipe? if it boots up but screen doesnt work you can attach to your pc and use adb to pull data and wipe out personal data, if you are rooted then you can also get in and remove applications then use vipermod exe to remove root
Thank you guys.
I was trying to wipe out all data before sending for RMA.
I managed to mimick the "volume buttons" procedure. Had to try numerous time as it is not easy when blind.
Your ideas are good and I will remember if there is ever a next time.
Good day.

you may also want to try the reset button on the left hand side near the micro sd card slot to restore to factory settings.

This just reboots .. pretty sure it doesnt format ..
Mic hole is on the top of the device, reset is on the side.

My screen went out and I did the HDMI out to the tv and did a factoy reset before I sent it in .
My brother has bought a Sony Tablet however he has setup up a screenlock PIN/Password and subsequently forgotten it.
The tablet is more or less brand new and I doubt he even managed to get Google Play setup with a password.
He is going to confirm what model it is once he gets home tonight but on the assumption that all recent Sony tablets will be similar I am going to ask for help now. As it is brand new data loss is not an issue.
This probably looks like I am trying to access a stolen unit but believe me my brother is not capable of stealing a tablet. I nearly ctied when I saw his Facebook post telling everyone he was buying a tablet in Paris!! He is an IT numpty.
I have a couple of questions:
1. How does he perform a Factory Reset in order to start again. The instructions in the Manual (from Sony website) are aimed at doing the reset from within Jelly Bean.
2. He bought the unit in Paris because it was a gift for his French speaking wife. I suspect that I may have to help him set it up properly when he next visits the UK (they live in West Africa so all my support is via phone and email). Can I switch the OS language to English in order to get the various accounts setup and then switch it back to French?
1: To do a factory reset hold volume up then hit the power button. Keep holding the volume up and you will get into recovery where you can do a factory reset.
2: Yes you should be able to setup in one language the go into language and input in the settings menu and change to another.

Thanks Gordo. Much appreciated.
So I have just noticed this morning when I'm texting....
Every time I'm using the keyboard, the soft keys below (the back, home, task, and input method keys) were... gone. Disappear. I don't know why, it was normal yesterday and I didn't do anything. It makes me kind of difficult every time I have finished typing, because I have to tap on the screen, and cannot hide the keyboard using the back softkey, and I cannot change keyboard input (I switch between the Japanese and international keyboard a lot). but, when I use the keyboard on the lock screen to type my password, the soft keys were still there. Intact. ._.
I have tried to restart twice, but nothing changed. What is wrong? How do I get my soft keys back when I use the keyboard? I'm using the stock Lollipop 5.0.2, not rooted, and never did any modifications at all. Please, can anyone help me? thanks a lot. here i put a screenshot to show you what I mean.
I really do need answer to fix this. once again thanks a bunch!

Hi, I'm facing the same problem since this afternoon too! My soft keys go missing whenever I use the keyboard on my Xperia ZL. Did you manage to find a solution to the problem? I've tried restarting my device too but it doesn't help and I really don't want to factory reset my phone D:
I remember this was a common problem when lollipop was released. Not only limited to stock sony roms. But any lollipop rom.. anyway it was so long ago I first flashed a lollipop rom so I cant quite remember exacly
Hi, I've contacted Sony Xperia and they've provided me with a possible solution:
"In regards to your query, we can advise you to try clear data and cache of the app by going Settings > Apps > All apps > Xperia Keyboard > Force stop > Ok > Clear cache > Clear data and restart the phone and test again. If problem persists, we would suggest that you try to perform a repair of the software using PC Companion. If the issue is related to a problem with your software this will be repaired and your handset will work as intended. "
I've tried it and my keyboard is working fine so far. Hope that it'll help you too
I've tried to clear data and cache and restart, but it was fine for only a few hours and it was gone again I will try to repair software via PC now, i was out of my country last week so didnt have a chance to do it. thanks a lot! i'll let you know if whether the software repair works or not.
