GREEN Button swaps to CALENDAR

Recently I am experience and incredible fact.
The green button to start a call NOW works as CALENDAR shortcut button (yes like the top right button)
The red button to END a call NOW works as CONTACT shortcut button (yes like the top LEFT button)
The 2 Contact and Calendar button (top left and right) DO work correctly.
I supposed some recently installed applications made this mess. Therefore I tried
- soft reset: no way
- hard reset: no way
- I PUT MDA 3 in BootLoader mode and I REINSTALLED MY rom 1.42 WWE
Now what happened is that for 2 days OK, the GREEN and RED button DID work correctly to start and end CALLS.
After 2 days, the strange phenomena appeared again!
Please note that I HAVE NOT INSTALLED ANY ADDITIONAL SOFTWARE!
I am very puzzled.
Please help

Maybe a virus?

I got it to the second time yesterday, but it just went away.
The first time it happened I did a hard reset 2 times and that didn't fix it.
The battery had to die completely

Is it a known issue ofr ROM 1.42?
Thanks and waiting
Saulo

did you try to REFLASHING ????

I was actually going to downgrade because the problem never happened in 2003, but my battery was dead when the battery was charged enough to start the buttons worked correctly.....
The second time it happened it just went away after a few hours (I was driving so I couldn't mess with it) when I got home it was back to normal.

Have you recently installed any software, let me know maybe it is related to some software??

Do you know how to UNLOCK the ExtROM and then install 1.42 o
Yes I have installed Windows 2005. Then since very unstable, I downgraded to Win2003, 1.42 (not the original 1.31
Now, in addiiton to his strange fact, (flipping buttons) I experience the flickering of screen, several times a week. A soft reset usually solves this new problem. But then it may reappear.
I installed the following softwares: CE Chinese Input
I thought it was the culprit, therefore i made a HARD RESET.
Then I tried other sfw, also trial Chinese Inputs.
But again this problem reappeared
Now I made a clean HARD RESET and NO sfw.
The problem reappeared.
Conclusion:
I guess something wrong in External ROM.
In fact in Device Information:
ROM version 1.4200 WWE
Radio 1.13.00
ExtRom: NONE
Do you know how to UNLOCK the ExtROM and then install 1.42 on it?
Thanks

i have the same problem today. it has happened before. i think it is a glitch in the rom. i have hard reset and it went away before. this time no. i have hard reset and restore my backup and same thing. the culprit could be a bad wisbar install. that is what i think i did wrong, i installed wise bar and did not reset (forgot). then this morning woke up to the send button going to calendar. any suggestions. thanks.

I also upgraded to WM5 and then back down again to the 2003 1.42

B&B 4.0 Freezes at B&B 4.0 screen

I was doing something in task manager yesterday.
When i was shutting down some programs.
My MDA COMPACT III froze.
The last program i closes was device.exe
Now its hanging,
It goes through he O2 screen, the next screen stays on.
Back light keeps burning.
what am i supposed to do now?

I've had this a few times now. The latest was after I installed Opera and did a soft reset. I left the PDA for over an hour but it never came back responsive. After several soft resets I had to do a Hard Reset. (Hold down both Soft-Keys and Press the reset button in the hole on the side with the stylus). This WILL wipe all your data though.

i already left it on for 5 hours, no changes where made.
i also left it laying on my desk with the battery removed.
no changes
In bootloader it doesn't get connected to my pc, so i can't flash any rom into it

Do a Hard Reset. (Hold down both Soft-Keys and Press the reset button in the hole on the side with the stylus).

when i do a hard reset, it goes into bootloader.
i press the soft-keys on side of the MDA (voice & power) put the stylus in.
it goes direct into bootloader when i pull out my stylus

that is not how a hard reset is done. dont press the buttons on the sides of the device. what you do is starting bootloader.
to do a hard reset do as described here in the wiki.

That's bootloader mode NOT a hard reset.
To perform a hard reset, press and hold two keys on FRONT of phone next to Red and Green call buttons while pressing reset button with stylus. Keep these TWO buttons held until text appears on screen asking you to "Confirm to Format". Press the GREEN call button and then sit back until the phone re-boots.
Then you have the good job of re-installing everything again.................at least the phone will now work though.

i feel freaking dumb right now....
going to feel a shamed sitting in the corner with a donkey hat on.
thanks guys, its up and running!

have the same problem

stucking Artemis
same Problem here with my Orbit. I had to hard-reset two times last week after installing new programms. After It ran fine for about 4 days until yesterday.
Anyway, very fine piece of Rom, even nicer when buggs fixed.

If you guys can post what you have installed, whether you have anything added in traylauncher, and if you overclock with batterystatus, that would be really helpful - It would be good to nail this problem down, as people have been having this kind of issue since v3.7, and I've yet to find anything in common.
As it stands, after I've disabled traylauncher, I've not had to hard reset for nearly a week now.

The first time my Orbit stuck just after installing Battery-Status as first Program after installing the new Rom to my Orbit. (I did not overclock at this time!)
I do not know what was second, but my device stuck after necessary soft-reset just after installing.
I installed B&B 4 again after the second hard-reset and it worked fine with dynamic overclocking from 143 to 247 MHz for 4 - 5 days. I felt as a lucky Guy
Yesterday I had to switched off the phone (not the device). As i wanted to switch on the phone some hours later it stuck. After waiting some Minutes and nothing happened, I did a soft reset and my Orbit hung in B&B-screen. A few soft-resets later I did a hardreset to get it back to work.

For those still having trouble with freezes on soft reset - have any of you still got the 6 tab home plugin?
Gullum posted this in the Dev forum, and that could be whats causing it - I'd gone back to 5 tabs, as it'd always set the phone to vibrate with appointments.
I'd forgotten that I'd done that, and that could well be whats fixing the issue.

Hi i've already had this problem, which is well described in this thread...
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=323995
Its a bug in this version of B&B 4.0
hopefully Tom will be fixing it
theres no cure for it but to do a hard reset unfortunately

I must have soft reset a dozen times since, installing new keyboards and other such software.

Its not a v4 only issue, i had the same problem with v3.7 and that was without anything else installed, it only happens on soft reset and it appears to happen more oftern than not when there is some form of activity, ie, program closing / loading, media player running.
Just happened for first time on v4 for me yesterday, again, no additional programs installed

I get this message when I reset my PDA after some heavy surfing the internet or mail trafic (GPRS). I'm still not sure what the real cause is.
I tried a different battery, SD card, CE version (official HTC upgrade) memory location for my IE cache and sync software to resolve it. The hard resets (that I cannot get around) occur around every other day so you can imagine that this is frustrating! i have been using Active Sync and Mobile Device center (vista) mixed but the problems continued after I stopped syncing my PDA. Now even after a do a hard reset I cannot use the mobile synchronization. Thanks for your help!

No help, but I've had that one too... I suspect there is a faulty batch of Artemis motherboards out there.

Having the same problem last few weeks... Once in a few day's the same error after resetting (because of memory shortage message). Never happened until a few weeks ago. Apart from this I also had some strange, unremovable folders (named a/b/c and so on) a week ago but they disappeared after one of those hard resets. Looks like hardware issues. Thinking about returning the device or even buy a new one...

ARTEMIS problem
Hi,have the same problem,any one has some idea how to fix it,many thanks for help.

Isolate the problem
Hi,
I have the same problem. I found so far that if I don't install ANY application to the phone, it works fine (I mean, after a hard reset) Is it feasible to sync. BUT, if I install anything, I mean anything, the problem happens.
Anyone can confirm it with his phone?
Thanks

thnx

Same problem since a few weeks ago after using wm6.5 .
It started a month ago after wm6.5 installation. At the beginning i identified a really high power compsumption with wm6.5, but some other people had the same problem.
After that this problem appeared and i had tried a lot of things. I installed 3 different wm6.5 ROMs and i decided to return back to wm6.1, but the problem persists sometimes.
I can use it with few programs with no much resources comsumption, but with heavy software and a reset, it occurs.
I thought that it is a battery problem, but arghsplutt sais that he as tried different batteries so i've no idea what can produce it.

It is nothing to do with flashing 6.5 ROMs
I had a stock ROM on a Wing and flashed a newer stock ROM and then got the message.
and the whole screen is shifted a bit over to the right (AND NOW GOES INTO CONTINUOUS RESTART)
I suspect that large connector which holds the main board to the video cards?

[Q] [31 Mar 09] Xperia does not come out fo standby mode

Hi, I have a Vadophone branded Xperia that I have unlocked and it works fine most of the time. Sometimes (randonmly) however it does not come out of standby mode when I slide it open or press the power button. The phone still works as it I can still receive calls but the screen remains blank/off. I have to put it away for a while and then try pressing the power button again and sometimes the screen comes back on but sometimes it doesn't and I have to take out the battery to reset it. Its very annoying.
Does anyone else face the same problem and more importantly does anyone have a remedy to this problem? Thank you.

I get it. Just press the power button 3-4 times and it works

Hi ratchetclank,
I have tried it but unfortunately it does not work. Another friend of mine has the same Vodfone branded one and he has the exact same problem. Aparently the unbranded ones do not have this problem. Is there anything else that can be done? Thank you.

anyone found the fix to this problem??

Try with no oficial ROM

it culd be two things
1>Theres something wrong with the button-But as ur freind has the same problem i doubt this
2>Your rom is still the stock rom that came wih your phone.Flash a new rom.Like smaberg touch x10.And then see what happens!!
Cheers

Standby problem
Yeah, I have that same condition with him too, I use smaberg Touch X 10.1, but still have that problem, that happen meybe about 1 or 2 days once. please help, thanks before

Do you have SPB Mobile Shell 3 installed?
The amount of times I've had to hard reset this useless block of metal im supposed to call a phone, is ridiculous. sometimes I install certain apps, other times I dont.
At times where I've had SPB Mobile Shell installed, I get this problem. Times when I dont have it installed, I dont.

Touchflo 3d not autolaunching after reset at times.

Is anyone else having the problem where after a soft reset(or a manual shutdown/restart) touchflo3d doesn't autostart?
It happens to me about 50% of the times I reset, but I jus thave to switch it off again and on again and usually it works fine.

Totally different, but I have this sometimes with Touch Flo 2D on my TyTn II. I usually get it if I've installed to much, It always launches if I haven't got the Micro SD card in though.

I've had this happening to me since I got it, and after a few hard resets it still happens... Seemingly at an increasing frequency too.

Yup, I'm experiencing the same problem.
It's really annoying, and more people are having this issue.
There's already a thread about this.
What works for me most of the time is this:
- Disable TF3D in settings.
- Soft reset device with power button
- Enable TF3D again
- Sometimes TF3D starts now, but if not reset again.
I can't wait for a more stable and fast cooked rom
Hope this helps

Oh Sorry, I couldn't find the other thread. I just keep resetting and hopee it randomly decides to starts. Love this phone, just a few things that really annoy me
The inability to find a way to make it autolock(not standby) after X seconds for example. If anyone can help with that, I'd greatly appreciate it.

DId you install any apps?
These kind of problems are mostly caused when 2 programs interfere with eachother. Teh reason why one time it does start up and the other time it doesn't is the sequence of programs starting up. Most of the time touch flow 3d will start later (because it's so big)

i have had this happen a couple of times as well.

I doubt it's caused by that. I've hard reset it installed core and tomtoma nd had it happen..
and I'm sure it's not just slow to start up, I've tried making calls and simply leaving it for 10 minutes and it still doesnt start up.

It only started haooening to me after I instaled software.
I guess the best thing to do right now, is to install all software with touchflo disabled, then reboot completly the device to finalize the instaltion, and then reboot it again. Now you can reactivate Touchflo again.
This "trick" has worked perfectly on my Pro 2
HastaSSSS

disable startup
Many programs that you install will leave a startup file in the windows\startup directory. Try cutting and pasting them to some temporary directory. I did that with poutlook and slovoed and the problem has gone away for me, without in any way impairing my calendar/contacts or slovoed functioning.

I got the same problem too.. soft resetting a few times do it or disable/re-enable on Personal-Today Items screen
Kinda annoying

Same problem here. Spoke to HTC today and tol them there were more people having this problem. Mine is so serious that it won't start at all! HTC says I was the first and ONLY one in the world with this problem. They told me that if there were more people having this issue they should CALL HTC. It's free to call them... please do so in finding a solution!
Thanks!

I am suffering under the same issue! It is really annoying! HTC should immediately sovle this problem!

I copied manila.exe from windows to my start-up folder, now it works fine.

yeah i have the same problem its really annoying. it works about 90% of the time now when i copied the manilla.exe to start up folder. before that i tried to put the phone in airplane mode before booting but that worked like half of the time.

touch flor not loading
My phone is hanging again. I can't get it to load Touch Flo 3D. I get this message that it's trying to activate handsfree network and then it says connected and reboots and goes through the same thing 2 or 3 times. I hard reset back in Dec cause of this and then the same thing happened again about a month ago and out of the blue it loaded touch flo and fixed itself.
But this time it's been a couple days and my phone is so slow it's crazy. It's been trying to remove one program for 20 minutes. I thought removing a few programs might help instead of doing another hard reset but it looks like i'm gonna have to do one more.. I haven't added anything new lately. And I even got a message saying your phone can not boot up because of a program from an untrusted source or something else and it wants me to hard reset. It says press volume up to reset or any key to continue and then it goes to that hands activation screen.
Iv'e tried enableing and disabling bluetooth. Sprint store said I have a bad phone cause of that hands free actication message I keep getting and they want to order me aother phone but it's going to be a refurb so I guess i'll hard reset.. Something is causeing it to hang and not load and I don't know what it is.. But I came here and I tired puttingmy phone in airplane mode and rebooted nothng. I have unchecked and checked touch flo and rebooted..
But I went to windows and saw manilla.exe cause you guys said copy it to start up and I clicked on it and I saw my background and clock again but I don't think Touch Flo fully loaded and my task manager wasn't at the top and I ran clean ram cause it was still slow and it said it freed up 32mb but then my screen went black again. I put it in airplane mode once more and took out the battery. But when I never pasted the manila to start up should I do that? I just clicked on it and saw where my clock and background were back but my clock was off by like 15-20 minutes.. I'm sure I'll probablyt have to hard reset but wanted to ask around a couple more times before doing one.. Rose

I was sitting in my den and my friend said he texted me but I didn't get it. I went to check my phone and it seemed ok but no text. I then went to make a phone call and it hung. I went to turn it to airplane mode and it froze. When I restarted it, now I get the black screen with the top and bottom menu bar but no touchflo 3d loading. I get some weird hands free activation message and then it says successful and reboots my phone. When the phone starts back up it is in the same condition without touchflo 3d and the reboot loop continues unless I click cancel.
If I run manilla.exe it will boot up and my today screen will come back but it is SLOW and it doesn't seem to have completely loaded.
WTF happened and how do I fix this?

Same thing happened to me.. Touchflo wouldn't load phone was so slow hands free message kept coming and saying connected and rebooting. I did a hard reset and was good for a couple months then out of the blue on day it did it again. I turned off phone and left battery off overnight and just got lucky and the next day as I was getting in my car it came back on.
But then a few weeks later it did it again and I took it to a Sprint store. I was told that the handsfree activation is something that only happens once when you 1st get a new phone and they said my phone was defective. They were going to order me another one but it was going to be refurbed so I never picked up and just dealt with a hard reset once again. Don't know what causes this but I've had my phone reset for over a week and I just now tonight started putting apps back on cause I was afraid ut had to do with something I installed I really don't know what causes it.. But my touchflo wouldn't load at all compeltely black screen no today screen at all and boy was my phone slow. I went to windows and clicked on manilla.exe also and saw my today screen but it was still slow and not completely loading up to touchflo like you said. And then I read about putting it in airplane mode turning off BT nothing worked for me this last time so I did a heard reset again..
Maybe someone else knows what causes this but I'm leary and am not going to put everything back on my phone that was on there but I've put most everything back.. Sorry I wasn't much help but same thing for me hands free siad connected and would reboot and over and over.. I kind of want an Android phone now and I don't think Sprint should of offered me a refurb when I just bought this in Sept and it's an expensive phone. But oh well things happen.. Good Luck!
