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

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.

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
EDIT: Tried today and seems to be working now. Weird, just works when it feels like it.
Has anyone had the same problem and managed to fix it? Only thing i can think of doing is a master reset which means losing all my programs etc. I restored a backup with SPB to no success. Whenever I try to connect to my home router which has no encryption, it says 'unavailable' and no network is detected. Also, if I'm out, it detects networks which are security enabled even when they are arent! Thinking of selling, but can't until I get this problem resolved. Any help would be most appreciated.
P.S. It was working last night, but today it's decided not to and the problem is not the router as I tried with another phone.
Hi, just wanted to say I fixed the problem... I changed the channel on my router to 6 and restarted it, then my TG01 picked up the signal and can connect so incase anyone has the same problem, try this.
Cheers!
Hi, I've been trying to sort this out for the last 24 hours with no luck and need it fixed quite urgently
I have a Sony Ericsson Play, android version 2.3.4.
The microphone on my phone is rather strange, I can call people no problem, they hear me no problem but if i try and record my voice with a voice recorder there's absolute silence. This led me to backing up all my data and restoring my phone to factory settings hoping it was a glitch that would go away - it didn't.
So i reset my phone and it seems like it has been reset to a previous update to what I had before. I'm unsure of what update I had previously but one thing that has changed is that I no longer have the Google Play store but have the rubbish old market with hardly anything on it. Also my phone doesn't detect any of the apps that are stored on my SD (they're still there the space is taken). This is rather frustrating as I use apps such as Whatsapp a lot and I'm unable to use it.
Another major factor in my issue is that I bought my phone in the UK, had the updates done there and I am now in China. I plugged in my phone and tried updating it using the Sony Companion software but it tells me this is the most recent update (which it isn't). Same thing on the phone when I try and update it in the settings. I tried using a VPN on both my phone and laptop and 'locating myself' in the UK but it still says this is the latest update.
Can anyone offer any solution or advice that could help me regain what I had before. I've been searching all over the internet trying to find a solution with no luck.
Thanks for any help anyone can offer I really appreciate. Any questions just ask. Step by step solution would be excellent
Before/Now
Just bought a used T-mobile LG V10 and everything works fine except I cannot connect to wifi or bluetooth.
Both say "Connection not allowed" next to them in the networks menu. And when I try to turn them on they can't find anything. I've tried rebooting and factory reset a few times. No luck.
IMEI is clean as well.
Any ideas?
Thanks in advance.
I also have the same problem, I went as far as disassembling the phone and making sure nothing was disconnected, still nothing
Hi,
need a bump on this thread, I got the same problem......rooted and on 6.0...........
T-mobile variant......
Any insight will be greatly appreciated.
Thanks
I also have the same issue. According to YouTube the bottom left of the phone has a chip that controls wifi/bt. Didn't seem like a hard fix, but im not attempting it lol
