Hi guys
I have just purchased the Pipo M6 Pro (Which has built in GPS) from Pipomall.
Even though the the battery is fully charged. I still cant get the unit to turn on. Tried the on/off button by holding it in many times.
Anyway finally the reset button resets it and that does work. I'll go away for 10 or so minutes and try to turn the device off standby mode to which it does not do anything. Makes me think tha unit is off so i then try to turn it on by holding the button down for 5 seconds. Nothing. Only a 'reset' at the back of the unit turns it on.
I have got onto Pipomall where i bought it from about this.
They have directed me to this website to a firmware upgrade. However the firmware upgrade doesnt exist for the M6 Pro. Only for the M6.
I really need a firmware for the M6 Pro in English as this is the one that has GPS & built in 3G.
I am guessing the firmware upgrade is my only option? Unless theres any other suggestions you can think of?
Quite disappointed about this.
If i can't upgrade it i'll have to send it back i think.
Thanks.
Where can I download the firmware?
Thanks for the help people.
I have done the factory reset.
Gonna wait some time and see if the issue occurs.
If it does i iwll do the upgrade,
If the upgrade fixes the issue i will let you all know that its worked ok.
Thanks so much again

Is your M6 Pro performing satisfactorily now? Would be great if you could give us a short review of it as there aren't any online yet. I'm particularly interested in knowing if the GPS is any good. Thanks
I have an s1 pro and it will charger but not power on. I tried the upgrade tool but I keep getting IDB fail. Can anyone help. The tech guy says I have to keep guessing with the buttons during the upgrade till I find the flash.

Hi!
Have you found a solution for the reset button because mine does the exact same thing.
Mel
Hello,
I bought a PIPO M6 pro too,
Actually two of them. Both have the same issue: the day it arrived they turned on, without problems.
After some hours I put them under charge... and after that, they don't turn on anymore.
No sign of life.
I tried with the reset button, reset-On/Off button combo, any other combinatrion of buttons...
Nothing happens.
What should I do? Did anyone have the same issue?
Ah.. first one I send it back to the seller.. the second one is the substitute! (
Thanks in advance,
Alessandro
I got the sumvision voyager 2 which is the same as the m6 pro but rebadged for the UK. Its a rocking tablet especially once you put a custom ROM on it. There's plenty of developers around, though unlike my old archos g9 there doesnt seem to be any on here. We have overclocking ROMs and overclocked ram roms to get rid of any lag, which to be fair from stock I haven't experienced. Though mine has the app memory modded to 4gb from 2gb, the ROM I use can go up to 16gb for apps if necessary. Compared Tony old 1gb/16gb G9 Turbo this tablet really blows it away especially on the display and battery life.
Pipo firmware is available on the .cn pipo websitewebsite

May the charger is bad？ so the tablet can't turn on

Recently my phone started occasionally going into a slow-as-molasses mode where even the simplest task takes 20-30 secs to complete. Of course this makes the phone completely unusable. If I'm on a call and it happens it just turns itself off mid-call or sometimes automatically reboots but the reboot takes forever and the problem is still there. I end up having to take the battery out for a few seconds then it will work normally until the next episode. I have the CPU set to the max speed so normally it's fine. Also, I have a triple battery set-up so there is usually plenty of juice left when this happens. I have no idea what is triggering this and luckily it only happens occasionally. I'm using fxdjacentyfxd's excellent 6.5 ROM and having no other problems. If anyone has a solution or workaround or has experienced this please advise.
Thanks & Merry Christmas!
If the phone is getting hot I have bad news for you. It might be procesor. The one we have is in HD2 and xperia x10 if i remmeber well. The HD2 and same xperia x10 had a big problem overheating and rebooting whille talking , sms-ing, music listening, multitasking... I hope that isn't case for you. Haven't heard yet that someone had broken CPU around here on tg01. P.S. flash new ROM
I have this problem myself with my TG. The only solution it was Miro8 rom in my case. It is because your carrier.

The phone is not getting hot. Removing the battery then reinstalling it always fixes the problem (so far). I may have to do a hard (master) reset if the problem persists as I realize that one of the problems with Windows Mobile is it is prone to occasionally getting corrupted, at least in my experience with custom WM 6.0 ROM on my HTC 8525 over three years.

Any idea how the carrier can cause the problem? I've had the same carrier for 5 years including several months with the TG01 and never had this problem before.
yeah, its a WinMo issue
the software gets corrupted.
I faced this issue on my older WinMo devices. best bet is to hard reset!

In my case the carrier has two separate network (one for 2G and one for 3G), but it is certain that if i use the phone under that carrier it works as you described!
I put another sim (from another carrier) and the phone work great! So i identify the problem as beeing created by the carrier network or phone radio!
But i tried diferent radio and the result was that no mather the radio version I use the phone get slow in Cosmote network (the carrier I speak of).
Hi, I had exactly the same problem about one year ago.
Used to work the 'hard reset' stuff but in a days it slows down again and again.
I checked my SD card on the PC and looked like it was working fine, but it really wasn't. I had the final clue by using by a few days the phone without the SD... It worked just fine without sd.
So I decided to buy a ultra cool (an expensive BTW) SDHC class 10 and every problem with TG01 was solved!
Well, not every problem... Still having a little one with the GPS signal and the 3G data but it's not about the same thing.. but i'll still reading post here. Just forgot about this problem cause I was using some cooked roms from this place, but I had to return to the Movistar ES original in order to unlock the phone and now... you know, just don't work anymore. If I can't finx this **** with the original rom I'll go back to another coocked one.
Good luck!

Greetings from Thailand, kijotex! Hadn't considered the SD card as the possible problem. Mine is a 16GB Class 6 and seems to work fine. Did you check your SD card for errors or reformat it before buying the new card? I've used the same card in my previous phone, an HTC 8525/Hermes without problems (that I know of).
Thanks for responding & Happy New Year!

So you solve the problem with S-L-O-W think?
How did you solve it?
what was wrong?
I ask you because in my case only after switching the carrier I could use the phone again!

I backed up everything on the phone late the other night and was going to hard/master reset it the next morning but got called out of town and didn't do it. I did swap out my custom triple-battery pack and went back to my original Toshiba battery for a day. Surprisingly, the phone worked normally so re-installed the triple battery pack and it has been working 'normally' since then. I have no idea why. Between the quirks in Windows Mobile and the TG01 quirks I just never know what this phone is going to do next. If/when the s-l-o-w mode problem shows up again I'll hard/reset it and post again.
Cheers...

I finally did the master-clear this week as the phone was getting completely unusable. That seems to have helped tremendously but the phone went into the SLOW mode again today and I had to reboot it 2 or 3 times before it finally was normal. I had just played the Tiger Woods golf game on it for about 30 minutes so wonder if that didn't contribute somehow. I then went into Toshiba Power settings and unchecked the Reduce CPU speed if low battery box even though immediately after playing the game the battery meter showed 70%, but we all know how buggy that is.
My phone was getting screwed up because the case (actually a thin sleeve) was too tight and it allowed buttons to get mashed while it was in my pocket. This may not have been a problem except I had the Lock function disabled. Over time that random button pushing definitely corrupted WM6.5 just like it had done to my old HTC 8525. I'm now using a 2.5" USB external hard drive case until I can find a better fitting one.
I think I finally solved the problem. [crosses fingers] The Master Clear helped with some of the problems, but didn't cure the random S-L-O-W mode. I ended up reinstalling the same ROM and so far the phone is working flawlessly. I'm guessing that WM6.5 became corrupted over time and that was the culprit. I also had the phone Lock disabled and that continually caused buttons to get accidentally pressed while bicycling and/or jogging and speed walks. I personally feel the buttons need a bit more spring tension, especially the Sleep/Lock button on the left hand side. The Lock is enabled now so hopefully that will help.

In case it may be of interest, I have been using the Capdase leather sleeve case for a long time now without any issues. Nice red microfibre lining and pull tab to extract the phone easily. This UK supplier says no longer available, but most likely there are some about if you search a bit.
Best regards,
Kevin

Hi Kevin,
Nice to 'hear' from you again and thanks for the tip. I'm using the Mugen back cover for their 2600 mAh battery, although with my custom battery pack. The phone is now about 1/2"(17mm) thick. Do you think this Capdase sleeve will fit?
I'm also glad you answered as I was about to post a new thread or PM you with a question about cooking my own phone config into a custom ROM. After just having to reinstall all of my add-ons, customized SPB GUI, etc., twice while trying to fix this problem, I'm now thinking about backing up everything with a custom ROM. That way if I have to reinstall the ROM I won't have to spend another couple of days getting the phone config back to where it was. I've perused the TG01 kitchen thread but confess I'm still confused about how to do it. And since 99.9% of my stuff is installed on the microSD card will the new custom ROM be able to access that existing data?
Finally, I have to say this phone continues to amaze me (when WM isn't acting up). I just can't see any benefit to 'upgrading' to WP7 like many have done, possibly bricking the phone in the process, or trashing the SDcard, etc. as it just doesn't seem worth it. Now I admit that the reason I bought this phone last year was to install Android, but after having a Viewsonic G-Tablet for a few months with a custom Gingerbread 2.3 ROM installed on it I just gave the tablet back (to my buddy) as it was so freakin' buggy. Bottom line is I'm not so impressed with Android at this point, especially custom ROMs. Anyway, that's my story and I'm sticking to it.
I look forward to your sage advice.
Cheers!
Jim
Well... It appears the TG01 show is over
My TG01 has now gone into permanent S-L-O-W mode and I can't get it out of it. I've soft reset it probably 20-25 times, even yanked the battery out while it's still on hoping to shock the system. Did this many times and it didn't make any difference. I even left the battery out all night last night hoping for a miracle this morning. Of course, no change. I'm afraid to try to reinstall the ROM again as it probably couldn't complete the task before the battery runs down. As it is now I can't even make a call as it simply goes so slow it won't even connect, so if I can't find a solution soon the TG01 is going into the trash bin. During the past 3 weeks I have spent way too many hours trying to resolve this problem and have simply run out of ideas and patience. I also Googled it and a few people have had the exact same problem but no one has posted a solution.
If anyone has a tip or suggestion please advise.
tg01 getting slower
In my case the issue was fully solved by: reformatting sd card (full format) and reflashing the ROM. No freezings since I did it 2 months ago. So, I would say it's either your sd card or your ROM. A hardware failure is also possible but it worth trying before throwing your tg01 in the trash Good luck!

Hi mikiril,
Thanks for the fast response. I've tried everything including reflashing the ROM and even that only worked for a few days. I've been researching the problem again this morning and found the problem and a temporary solution. The problem is device.exe is running wide open using between 95%-100% of CPU cycles. A French TG01 website says it has something to do with clicking on the Restrict Sleep Mode button in the Toshiba Power Saving Settings menu, which I had done at some point, but later went back and unchecked it. Their 'solution' is to activate both Bluetooth and WiFi then turn them off. I confirm that does work until the next bootup or Soft Reset. Maybe there's something in the registry that can undo whatever clicking on Restrict Sleep Mode has done. At least the phone is working at normal speed again, temporarily, so I have a little bit of hope.
Thanks!
Okay people, I just got my S3 last night, and after about 3hrs of use, my problems developed. My problem is intermittent, but nonetheless, very aggrivating. When I press the power or home button, screen wakes, but touch is unresponsive. I thought it might have been a lockscreen issue, but I've tried all variants including no lockscreen and have the same problem. Is there any updates or fixes that anyone knows of or do I have a defective phone? Any thoughts are welcomed. For what its worth, I also rooted my device, and it installed supersu. I don't know if that could be related, but I'm going to give a full unroot reset a try as well.

Are you connected to charger, that can cause pro lems when getting unstable current
Sent from my GT-I9300 using xda app-developers app
On or off the charger, makes no difference. I Fully factory restored, pulled root, triangle counter reset, and everything else in between, and the issue still remains. Even tried another rom and kernel, sames results. Seems like I have a fancy light up paperweight for the most part. First samsung phone in over 10 years, and this is what I end up with. Great job samsung.
For how long is there no response.anyway try disable s-voice in settings.that is directly related to home button.power button hmm, don't know..
So, factory reset the phone, reflashed stock rom, even booted phone up with no sim or memory card, fresh from a reset. On the main setup screen, if I lock the phone, then wake it up, touch is dead. Definitely a hardware problem. Called samsung uk because anyone who used DAILYSTEALS.COM will find out if their phone ever needs service, that the phones sold via them came from the UK. Not really happy this wasn't explained on their website prior to purchase, as I would have held off. Now my 3 day old phone with not even 24hrs of use on it is off to a UK service center.
Word to the wise when buying online, check the origin of your phone if the retailer isn't an official seller. now my money saved is going right back.

As stupid as it may be, I want s-voice to work, shouldn't have to disable something to make the phone work properly out the box.
So this is probably the 3rd thread I've made for this device.
After returning my first Z2, I got this one a few (maybe 4 to 5) days ago and now I'm having issues with it. First time, the screen froze at my lock screen pattern entry; no response whatsoever but the LED light was blinking as I had a notification. I had to hold volume up + power button to soft reset. In the same day (today) I've just had to reset it again for the second time but this time, the power button would not wake the screen! No matter what I clicked, it would not work so I had to press volume up + power again till it vibrated 3 times and reset. I'll be going back to return the phone tomorrow and getting my third Z2! Anyone else having issues or anyone have any ideas as to why it's/what is happening?
Thanks in advance for any responses
EDIT: Are there any built in logs I can have a look at or anything of that sort to determine what went wrong?

Is your phone bone stock at the moment? (locked BL, no root, stock rom, stock kernel)
I had the issue initially - the phone wouldn't wake up a couple of times a day and I'd have to soft reset. But I was rooted with a custom kernel, etc. and learning to use the tools for Sony phones (coming from Samsung phones). But now it's perfectly stable. In my case, I suspect it was a combination of how I was flashing things,etc.
Otherwise, completely stock, i don't recall the phone freezing. Have you done a complete wipe and repair via SUS or PC Companion?

Hey, yeah the phone is pure stock. I've not messed around with the software nor downloaded anything I shouldn't have. I've not done a complete wipe and repair but I'm thinking about factory resetting. Obviously this is not a hardware issue but I don't want to have to keep resetting my phone twice a day because that is stupid. Hopefully it was a one off and I guess I'm not too bothered but I may go in store tomorrow and just see if they will replace it. Silly reason to do so, I know, but I guess I'm within my rights if the phone isn't working properly. What do you think?

I only bought it a few days ago and manufacturer's warranty is 12 months here I think I'll keep it and see if a firmware update helps because it is perfect hardware wise and I won't be happy if they give me a new one and it has gaps etc. Would you happen to know if the new update helps with the camera/overheating issue?

Hey mate, sorry late reply! I rang the place I bought the phone from and they said if I can't reproduce the problem they cannot replace it as I have no proof so I'm waiting for it to happen again as I have no clue what is going wrong!

Haha, to think I'm gonna be working for them next month! Yeah I'll have to record all problems from now until them give me a working phone. I saw the .402 OTA was available from today in Europe so I'll wait for that to roll out before making any rash decisions about returns

So this is probably the 3rd thread I've made for this device.
After returning my first Z2, I got this one a few (maybe 4 to 5) days ago and now I'm having issues with it. First time, the screen froze at my lock screen pattern entry; no response whatsoever but the LED light was blinking as I had a notification. I had to hold volume up + power button to soft reset. In the same day (today) I've just had to reset it again for the second time but this time, the power button would not wake the screen! No matter what I clicked, it would not work so I had to press volume up + power again till it vibrated 3 times and reset. I'll be going back to return the phone tomorrow and getting my third Z2! Anyone else having issues or anyone have any ideas as to why it's/what is happening?
Thanks in advance for any responses
EDIT: Are there any built in logs I can have a look at or anything of that sort to determine what went wrong?

I was having issues with mine freezing especially while using the camera.

Ah man. In a way I'm glad to see I'm not alone at least! For some reason mine is mostly random but I've kind of noticed it happens after I pull the charger out. Have you tried to go in and exchange it? If it's the camera causing it, it seems easily reproducible.
@shaf46
Hey Shaf, sorry to bother you mate. I just don't understand what is wrong with this phone! My estimated time on with stamina mode is down to 1 day a few hours again. It is a brand new phone I only got it yesterday. Is it the way I am charging it or is it just buggy software? I don't have any apps I don't need and even tap to wake is off. The battery works normally I guess although it is draining a bit fast (5% in 20 minutes while using it) but I don't understand what could be causing this to happen!

It's happened to me once where the phone wouldn't switch on after sleeping, turned on after about 2mins, but only when I received my magnetic charger and started charging with it. Not sure if the magnetic charger is the problem since I only had that problem once and never happened since.
Are you charging it with a magnetic charger?

Did you manage to sort it out? No I'm using the standard charger provided but after charging it last night, the estimation of battery time in stamina mode has come down significantly. The estimation assumes stamina mode is not on but it is turned on in my notification bar. This time yesterday the estimate was at ~5 days.
Dear All,
I have been using xda for long time as a user of the huge amount of knowledge in these pages...
Thanks to this community I got the most out of my samsung Galaxy S, Galaxy SII, Galaxy SIII and LG G2.
Now I have an Xperia Z2 D6503. I've been using it for a month and I love it.
But this is my problem.
2 days ago I was using the phone normally, I checked google maps and I put the phone under charge.
An hour later, I went to check the phone, and the phone was unresponsive: black screen, impossible to turn off/restart, no sound, no apparent activity. The only sign of life is a red led when I press the power botton.
The phone is with the original stock (firmware 17.1.A.2.69), I rooted it with a guide I found here (of course) just to use an app like android firewall.
I tried to search the forum for something like this, but honestly all I could find was something similar for the Xperia Z and what was proposed there to restart the phone didn't work (power+volume up).
I also tried to restart the phone with the off button inside the slot where the sim card is. That didn't work either.
Please let me know how can I move forward. As anybody else experienced something like this?
Thanks for your support!
Try flashing official firmware with flashtool maybe? Maybe this will help, I don't know man.
and what about hard reboot, by maintaining power and volume up until the 3 vibrations?

I suggest you go back to stock using flashtool, use it for a while just stock and see if this happens again. If it does, there's something wrong with your phone, but i don't think that's the case.
Try and tell us.
diego9016 HugePotato thanks for your answer! is there any way I can save my data first before flashing?
sensei_sai how do I perform the hard reboot? if I press power and volume up the phone does 3 vibrations, then nothing. what next? how do I hard reboot?
thanks for your help!
I'm currently travelling but when back home in a week I'll definitely go back to stock. But in the meantime, I'm so anxious to save the data stored in the phone.
thanks again!

hi RocketSauce83 thanks!
yes. as I said in the first post, I did try the reset button. Unfortunately nothing happens....

When I put it on charge the red led blinks regularly as usual. Apart that, nothing else.

Have you tried to repair using Sony PC Companion?
That usually helps me if I get stuck

Thanks, I read that post. Interesting, but basically no solution except getting the phone replaced under warranty. I'd go for that, but I wish there was a way to save my data first. I've something in the phone only with no backup.

I haven't tried that yet, as I'm currently travelling.
for my phone was also blinking with a red light when put for charging through the usb or even the charger and then i later found out is because i locked my bootloader when i was in root and had to reflash the stock rom to get it back up

Did your pc recognize your z2, because I can't seem to get it work on my pc to flash a stock Rom. I only get a blinking red light and when I press the power and volume up I get 3 vibrations that's about it.

when I connect the phone to the USB I see that the laptop tries to install the drivers and it fails.
But this is my work laptop and I cannot install sony drivers. I don't know if my desktop at home would recognize the phone. I'll try when I get back.
For the rest, the experience is as discribed by malek777, doing power and volume up I get 3 vibrations and that's it.
I fortgot to mention, I rooted the phone without unlocking the boatloader.

I figured out a way to use the companion app to go back to stock. When you get to the part in repair my device to connect your device, phone must be plugged in.
Hold the power button and volume up, once you hear the 3 vibrations let go of all and hold volume down. You will see a red light and then a green one. You're phone now in download even though there nothing on the screen.
Let me know if this works for you.

Thanks malek777 I'll try it when I got home.
Something similar happened to me, I know that's a little silly answer but can you tried charging with another charger/cable?

hi tel033 I tried to plug it with a different cable. What should happen? The only thing that happens is the red led blinking.....
thanks again.
Same thing happened to me. week 22. Got a replacement. Stock Phone, no root.
A friendly guy (http://forum.xda-developers.com/member.php?u=2047451) here reccomended I post this here, so: here's my problem.
Hello, it's me again, Omnitrixer. I recently (2-3 months ago) bought a new Android device, myTab MT72A. Everything worked fine, I loved the UI, the free space, graphics, everything! A week ago, I turned it off while I was away. When I got back home, I tried to turn it on but: it wouldn't power on, no matter what. Yes, I tried charging it, pressing every button etc. etc. but nope. Just wouldn't turn on. It wasn't even on the bootloop screen. Should I send it to the manufacturer and hopefully get a new one? Or just buy another one? Reccomendations and advice welcome. Thank you.
