I have an o2 XDA III that I am trying to upgrade to WM6. Apparently, my mail button doesn't work, so I am unable to complete a hard reset. Does anyone know of a workaround for this problem?
search for the MTTY procedure.
If you take the battery out and leave it for about 20 mins the internal backup battery will run flat. forcing a hard reset.
hope this helps

Every time I change the battery on blueangel and start it up I find that the phone is off and that I have to soft reset to get it to work.
I installed wm5 quite a while back and have had this problem since the beginning. Is there a fix for this?
no, but is it so hard for you to perform soft reset ?
and one more question, how often you hange batteries every 5 minutes? (if i am correct i see why you are upset)
ridan: this is known problem: there is delay between RadioROM starting and initialisation of the device. There is only one fix: when device is booting for the first time, wait 5s (from the time you can see on the screen, that there is no information about radiorom version), then immediately make a soft reset, long before the device will finish booting: after this 2nd soft reset readio rom will boot and everything will work fine.
if you don't want to play like this, there is only one option (and there won't be other in the future): go back to WM2003.
xplode: It shouldn't really matter how often I change my battery as everyone who owns a BA knows that battery life is dependent on usage and can range from a couple of hours to a few days.
And it is not 'hard' to insert the stylus into the reset hole, but it is annoying to find that your phone has been off the whole day just because you forgot to wait 5secs and reset.
jakubd: I was going to change to a different rom, but as you say that its present on all wm5 roms I will ditch the idea. I may switch back to wm2k5 but I'm on the fence at the moment as to whether I will.
thanks for the reply jakubd.
today，I install a software "TMTCP" for video ,and I reset my kaiser.then the kaiser reset ,reset ,reset,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,till I unplug the battery. I flash the offical version,OK,but kaiser also reset,reset.what happen for my phone.help me ,thanks
happened to me too... hard reset will solve the problem but you'll lost all the valuable software installed...
I have hard reset，problem also
hard reset supposed bring back the setting to the original factory setting... in your case might be advisable to ask help from the expert... sorry can't help
Not sure if I'm experiencing the same problem.
I've recently installed the Core Media Player??? used it once or twice I believe then it crashed and wouldnt work anymore. I uninstalled it a day or two ago. Today my screen keeps freezing every few minutes after a soft reset ... it appears to have resolved it self for now but I'd like to know what happened.....
tnx.
My Tilt did a hard reset when today. I pusehd the button for a soft set, and it did a hard one. Anyone ever experience that?
I am suspicious of software. But haven't seen any comments about this problem in any threads on it.
Recently installed software is:
SBP Mobile Shell 3
Finger Suite
Touchpal
Any thoughts?
In order for a full hard reset to happen you need to press the key combination THEN press the green call pickup key.
If it did bypass all those then I guess there is a severe software error for it to manage it.
My only advice would be to be careful and keep a note if it happens again....
Yep. In fact I've found it hard to do a hard resset on my phone. I"ve done 2-3 times over the past 18 months, but haven't for a while.
It's really strange.
The good news is I had a 2 day old backup.
Strange indeeed. Normally the hard reset is done either by a combination of keys as you said or with the “clear storage” function in the settings menu.
However, recently I had a similar "mysterious" experience with a TyTN 1. I installed a new SPL and a new ROM and then I started filling it up with programs and then at one of the soft resets I noticed it was too slow starting up and it did a hard reset instead. What I did is I installed another SPL version (newer one) and I never had this problem again (so far).
Sorry. I'm blank. What is SPL, and what version did you install that helped?
Hi.
First i hope i post this in the right section.
I bought my X1 it was the R1.
months ago, i had upgraded to R2.
No problem.
Since yesterday, i had flash it to R3, and i noticed many problems.
1st:If i maintain the hangup button, it used to locked the phone.
Now, i have a soft reset.
2nd:If i launch the slideshow on sd card's pictures, randomly i have a Soft reset.
3rd.I can use my phone normally.
Perform some regular action,many times, and suddently, one actions which had work minutes ago, lead to a Soft reset.
Any ideas? ?
I'm thinking to downgrade it to R2 to see.
Thanks for your help and advices.
David.
Downgraded to R2
Hi.
I had downgrade the X1 to R2AA, french.
No more SoftReset when "hangup" is hold.
No more SoftReset when slideshow is running.
Will see if, during the day, it reboot by itself.
I forgot to mention , for the R3, i had install the 1% driver battery : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=514647
Will not bother the Thread of battery yet, if i'm not sure is related to softreset.
If after this day, no soft reset, i will go back to R3 without the driver , and try to see if it's more stable.....
Thanks you .
[Edit]
Hangup hold (long time > 5sec), leads to a softreset.
i'm wondering if it's a "normal" feature.
But , so far, no more random Soft Reset on normal usage (slideshow, phone, calendar).
David.
After 1 day of normal usage:
Some Soft resets.
Sometimes, when i plug the usb cable.
Sometimes, when i lock the phone (maintaining hangup)
Sometimes, by itself.
Any suggestions?
Before flashing the R3 i did not noticed any trouble.
Flashing can corrupt something, even when i flash back the R2?
Thanks for you support.
David
Hi.
After almost a week, some soft reset by itself.
No one has an idea to solve it?
Thank you.
David.
Hi,
I have problem with my HTX Tytn II, from time to time it just freezes, if I try to press any button or press anything on screen simply nothing happens. After couple seconds everything get back to normal. This is pretty annoying when I need to write SMS, I must press some letter 10 times to get it.
If you have some advise, please help.
My phone has Windows Mobile 6.1, I did not install any special app except Skype, have storage card 4GB.
Thanks,
Sinisa.
