Hello,
I've verified this on 2 XDA Orbits: after starting Navigon 7 on the Orbit1 everything works, but when Iswitch off the display and then try to switch it on again, the backlight stays off. When I light the screen with a flashlight I can see, that the display is on and the touchscreen and and hardware buttons all work fine. But without backlight the device is useless.
The same Navigon version (same SDHC card works fine in my Orbit 2 (which is broken atm)). Starting Navigon7 once into its main menu and closing it then and I have the problem... Navigon 6 has no problem (just tested without map).
Soft Reset lets me boot it and everything works until I turn off the display...
Only Hard Reset helps.
Anyone an idea?
regards,
Stefan
1.: which Version of MN7 do you use, this problem should come with versions lower than 7.34.
2. I have installed a small programm litetoggle and joined ist to a hardware key. So when a have this problem, I press the key until the screen is readable.
I hope you could understand my terrible English?
Hi,
another solution, I did a Hard-Reset already. I hope My Orbit 2 will arrive soon, until I'm using terrible TomTom...
I think it's a problem of the ROM...but o2 won't release a newer one I think...
And an ROM from here is dangerous of bricking it I think...
regards,
Stefan

Hi everbody,
first sorry for my english. i am german.
So now, this moring my MDA 3 has made an hardreset and since there, when pushing the phonekeys, contacts and calandar are opening!
So what could i do? I had made an Rom-Update (newest from T-mobil germany) but nothing helps.
Could I change this settings manually in the regestry? Any Ideas?
Thanks for responding.

OMG THE SAME THING'S HAPPENING TO ME TOO! It just happened.
I have a Cingular Siemens SX66 (PH20B1) with
ROM v1.33.10 WWE
Radio v1.02.10
ExtROM v1.33.110 WWE
It just suddenly soft-reset, but now the phone answer (green) and phone end (red) buttons don't work and open Contacts and Calendar simultaneously. Furthermore, my navigation keys don't work either! Whenever I push it in any direction, it automatically loads up the Contacts. The other hardware buttons work fine, though.
I tried restoring from a previous backup, and that didn't work. Then I tried doing a hard reset and not restoring a backup, and that STILL didn't work. I then did a restore from a backup after my hard reset and nuthin!!! I'm at a COMPLETE loss....this is startin' to scare me...any ideas? ANYONE?
Thanks!!

How did you guys go with your probelms.
I have a similar problem with mine after a low battery experience.
My buttons are only working sometimes, especially the multi-directional button.
I have read I should try a new battery, but haven't got one yet.

Turns out mine had just died. The buttons just didn't work, and it was very likely a hardware problem. I got a replacement in the end.
Good luck!

hi guys,
has anyone experienced a problem where their Trinity will not "wake up" with the short press of the on/off button?
I'm sure I read about this some time ago and am trying to work out if it's hardware or OS related.
I'm running mUn's TE WM6 which I have been for many months now.
The problem has only started in the last 2 weeks or so.
I haven't installed anything new, but have enabled Push Mail for OTA mail.
It's doing it 1 or 2 times a day now and is very frustrating. The only way to wake the phone is soft reset.
When calling the phone from a landline, it does not ring and goes to voicemail.
Any advice or solutions gratefully received.
no one seen this then I guess.
Bummer (for me!)
Try hard reset

thanks John.
But do you have any fact based reason for this suggestion?
I'm happy to give it a go if there's more than 50% chance it will work.

You might have loaded a program that is not liked. Use a backup program. If this does not work then load your backup after the hard reset and you will be back to where you started
P3600 with D810 WM6 ROM; also happens occasionally, recovered with soft reset. Seems to happen most often when I press the On/Off button twice too quickly.
thanks guys.
I'm going to try the hard reset route-I'll report back.
Some time ago this happened to me so often, but said it was due to some application, in my case was Slide2Unlock.
Since I removed by their consumption of memory it didn't happened to me.
(Sorry for my english)
Bugger, this has started to happen to me as well. Only 3 times in the last 3 days but if it keeps is up that will be enough for me to do a hard reset (overdue). Strange cause the only new thing I put on in the last week has been PCM 16 which is only a copy/paste exercise.
The fix in the Hermes forum is to force your device to sleep and not let it go into standby.
I have had some problems recently with DeviceLock 1.2 just ceasing to work and have to uninstall/reinstall to make it work again. I set it to turn the screen off when locked, as this does not put the device on standby, maybe there is the same issue with it going into standby by itself.
I have the same problem..i think that it has to do with the phone hanging..most probably due to some background programs eating too much power and memory and the phone just lacks till it hangs..happens when you have other programs that have hanged as well..my problem is with PocketAlarm..it takes so long to load my phone went to standby and the phone couldnt be called back..in brief the phone just hangs because of a program..i don think it has any problem do to with the hardware or strictly the OS..cant really explain..but the role the OS play in this problem is that it allows the program to make full use of the phone till the phone cant cope with it..its the core of the OS so it cant be avoided with any other versions or anything..sorry it seems rather unclear..hope you guys understand..
same problem for me ... from times to times, when a call hang up, i push a lot of times the red button for going back to the today screen and as it shows up, i click immediately on the Power button for turning off the screen. right after when i forgot to do something (approx 1sec) i push the power button and there it doesn't turn on the screen ... strange ...
what i've installed on it :
TomTom 6
BatteryStatus with today plugin ver 1.04.203 beta4 i put tray icons too.
i've bluezard for sniffing and/or hacking bluetooth devices.
OBDgauge too it's a software that works with a bluetooth dongle i plug into the diag port of my car.
and that's all. ah yes one more thing -> i disable the "HTC Home" because i don't like it.
Same problem here...
Still no solution?
I got this problem from some version of rom by Karmba. But V7.2 is OK so far. It seems happened when I close Egress reader by click X button then turn off screen by power switch. It then would not wakeup again. But if I close Egress and check the running programs from Task Manager to make sure the Egress is not running at the background, then I can turn on or off the screen freely.
So I think this wakeup problem is caused by some running program that was not closed properly by X button then crash the WM.
That was just my personal finding. Hope it help you guys a bit.
Hi, to all!
I have a problem with the touchscreen of my hermes alias O2 trion.
When starting from cold state the touchscreen works normal. After some time the screen reacts not allways and shortly after that it does not react at all. Reset does not change anything.
Is it a upgrading problem or is it a hardware problem?
Here the hole story:
I bought a used device with Win Mobile 5 on it. At the first try out it worked, but afer some time the screen did not react to my stylus at all. After a reset it worked again so i dit not pay much attention to this and upgraded to official Windows mobile 6 (which was downloaded from O2). Update worked fine.
Then i ran a rom update on the computer to change the start screen. The tion disconnected (update stopped at 0%). Little shock, but the trion still worked. The program and radio versions did not change.
First thought: this was no official update, so trion did not accept it. Was something installed or was everything blocked?
Could this make problems?
What do you think?
Thanks

Did you try to re-calibrate your screen? It could be a question of the screen loosing calibration so bad that when you press it, it works but you are not HITTING any buttons, because the calibration is off...
I have that problem with my Hermes, I need to recalibrate several times every day, especially after sliding out the keyboard (since the screen flips then) .
There's a very nifty short-cut to the calibration app: press the middle button on the D-pad while pressing the messaging button to go to the calibration screen, then press the middle D-pad button to launch the calibration (same as pressing "calibrate" with your stylus).
There seems to be a lot of Herms that have serious calibration issues. I'm personally so tired of it I am thinking of buying something else.
Good luck,
Laz
It's KNOWN hardware issue where the processor heats up and *somehow* transfer heat to the digitizer which make it unresponsive. I got a Hermes just like that laying around. Can't fix it.
http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=Hermes_Problems
Thanks!
Today the touchscreen worked good. Even playing spider solitair was possible. Then i pluged it into power supply and the device got slightly warm. The touchscreen did not work any more.
Could be a heating problem of the prozessor like Mikro_ Tech described. Thanks by the way
How can i be sure it is this problem and not something else?
@LazPL: That was one of my first thoughts as well and i did.
When the Touchscreen works, it works just fine and accurate. Then it behaves strange (sometimes not corresponding to touches, programms close all of a sudden) and shortly after that it doesn not work at all.
@the_passenger: The Hermes Version is HT 626... Anything special to this, because the link just lists screen allignment issues for this modell?
What do you think of the solution from the link LazPL posted?
Hello all,
I have this problem since a few days.
Whenever I use TomTom GPS. Whenever the phone goes to sleep (either press the standby button on the right side or if phone idle for threshold time) then I cannot wake up the phone by pressing the standby button again.
The only thing I can do is softreset with stylus.
After Doft reset I only need to unlock the phone like usualy after each soft reset but strange thing is that my pin code is automatically remembered...
Note : Whenever I do a soft reset I stop the BlackBerrySecurity Service using Memmaid so I don't need to enter the password after each wake up of device...
Also, I see blinking leds and if i try to call my phone number from office number, I here the ring tone but on the artemis side no reaction..
THis happens only if I have used TomTom at least once since last softreset.
My COnfiguration :
Artemis
Meschlee's ROM 3.01 Vanila
BlackBerry Client (BBCONNECT)
SPB Mobile Shell 2.1
SPB Phone Suite
TOmTom Navigator 6 (installed on Storage Card)
Please help?
Anyone similar situation?
Thanks
Anyone?
Plz
Hi
This could be down to a corrupted ROM. I have checked through the settings and cannot find one that affects the way the power button acts.
I would suggest that you re-flash the phone with the Same ROM or one of the New ones (toms oops black is currently the best)
Cheers Dave
ok now
Yeah but unfortunately I'm stuck on Meschle 3.01 'cause it's the only one that is compatible with Artemis and BlackBerr Connect (Client for Blackberry corporate service).
I finally flashed it over again and now I don't have anymore problems
Seems like All windows are the same sometimes you just need to reboot
Thanks for the reply anyhow.
No Problems
Hey guys,
Long time member, but first time poster . I got some good news for you iMate users out there. I was able to get the new WM 6.1 ROMs for both the iMate Ultimate 8502 and 9502, though I was told these were still considered beta ROMs. They are for the Australian market I assume as the Telstra logo displays on the boot up.
I've been using it on my 9502 for the past day or two and it seems to have fixed the following issues:
SDHC is supported now
MS Voice Command is working
GPS does not have to be turned on manually anymore
Camera program memory leak seems to be fixed. I will have to do more testing.
Ongoing issues:
Free Program Memory is still 33 MB after a hard reset
The ROM also seems to fix alot of software compatibility issue I was having. Like some of my SPB software that I normally use is now working without any freezes or heavy slowdown. It also seems to run a bit faster, especially when you slide out the keyboard. Anyways, give it a try. Hope this helps.
iMate 8502 : http://www.megaupload.com/?d=NU4R6EWA
iMate 9502 : http://rapidshare.com/files/129807567/Ultimate_9502_V.01.73_NO_CP.rar.html
Great! Thank you!
Nice.
I went to run the update but it requires a "ROM unlock code"
Anyone know what that is?
Thanks
Dave
Re: ROM unlock code
You may find the code printed on the box you have bought the device in or on www.imate.com after you have registered your imate.

Has anyone run this beta as yet ? Keen to see what the opinions are. If WM6.1 doesn't make the device any more stable then ebay here we come which is a real pity I must say.
Just installed and it works better but yet to install my other software. GPS is missing from the wireless manager but I assume that is because GPS is now always active.
Now there is about 50mb free after hard reset. Might be some more once I get rid of the other start up shortcuts.
BTW I have an 8502 and thanks to the OP. Looks like we may be into a winner here, finally............

There it is!!! Thanks! Sheesh iMate is tough :-\

Got it up to 6.1 and it is true the GPS is good to go without a turn-on.
However, with this rom I am NOT able to launch iGo 06 or iGo8. Anyone else have this issue and/or a solution? Note: It was working on the old rom.
Thanks

Please help me....
I have i-mate 8502
I did the upgrade BUT before it I lounched Sprite Backup to save all phone data and settings.
After ugrading to WM 6.1 I lounched Sprite Backup again and... now I have only i-mate blue screen (i-mate sign on it) and phone doesn't go any further....
I would flash it again but my pc doesn't see it now at all.
Maybe you know some way to bring my i-mate back to life?
Please help.... Did i brake it?
Not sure why Sprite would cause that for you. I installed Sprite backup NP. I even, backed up, hard reset and restored with Sprite and not even an error.
Still can't get iGo to work though. I doubt anyone here has an 8502 WM6.0 ROM ??? At this point I would rather go back if I can't use iGo :-(

Taking battery out for 3 hours didn't work...
What else can I do?
Help please...
BIG Problem
Hi,
I've run the upgrade program and it worked fine until the first reset... Now I see the message "Please reconnect to PC and run the upgrade again"... I did this 10 times and nothing... I keep getting the "Connect fail" message from the setup file... The problem is that Active Sync dosen't see anymore the phone connected and I don't think it can anymore... that message seem to be from the bootstrap program or something like that...
Please help...

After Flashed with the new ROM, My Device is now stuck in iMate Blue Screen Logo....!!!
But Don't worry Guys...it can be solved with manually hard Reset...
1. Remove battery and reinsert (to make sure the phone is off).
2. Hold down Fn and the Green button (with the phone icon on it) and press the power button.
3. You will see the white hard reset option screen almost immediately. Press the Left Soft Key to hard reset.
Work for me...
Can someone post another link? The original is not working at the moment. Thanks in advance

OK, I got an XP machine and did the upgrade, went smoothly in about 15 minutes.
Overall I would say it is a worthwhile improvement.
Changes/improvements:-
* PIE scrolling fixed - much smoother, now with zoom
* PIE doesn't freeze any more
* Auto GPS enabling is nice
* Camera seems to start faster
* Threaded SMS is really good (and MMS is integrated now into one account)
* Seems to now stop notifying "SMS Sent"
* Overall perf seems better
* Wireless manager is simpler (I hated the old "solar system" UI)
* Phone settings includes Network Time setting and "battery saver" HSPA setting
* Can change default phone number (w, h, m) from the phone contacts app
Things not fixed:
* Voice call volume appears to be the same
* Select and hold with center button on email attachments still tries to open them (instead of offering to save like every other PPC I have used)
Not tested:
* SDHC support - I don't have a card
Best of all is that it appears to not have introduced any new bugs (fingers crossed).
I am sure I have spoken too soon ...
One thing I did notice was SPB Backup 2.0 stops the phone from rebooting successfully (just stays on Windows Mobile screen forever) if you have scheduled backups on. Seems as if it doesn't like something in the notification queue - so just backup manually. Not sure if scheduled backups on SPB Backup 2.0 worked properly in 6.0?

I have the same issue with the "Please reconnect to PC and run the upgrade again" message. Unfortunately, the reset doesn't help. As soon as you press the power button that message comes up. I think if we got that message, we've bricked it

You may be right but in the spirit of trying everything you:-
1) PRESS AND HOLD "Fn and Green" buttons
2) WHILE KEEPING THEM PRESSED press and release the reset hole with stylus
3) CONTINUE HOLDING the Fn and Green buttons until the white reset options screen appears
Fingers crossed for you - if this doesn't work then you are right, time to send it back.
