Could you guys tell how many soft reset you are forced to do within certain period? Please don't count hard resets coz it's obviously related to incompatible software installed or tweaks. Also please don't count soft reset that needs to be performed for pre/post software installation.
I've done three times myself after using it for 6 days:
1. in-coming call while establishing GPRS connection caused hang
2. another system hang but don't know how
3. no sound at all after plug/unplug headphone and connect/disconnect A2DP headset for several times

just out of curiosity how many times in a day/week/month do u do a soft reboot?
You should only ever need to soft reboot if something goes wrong (e.g. if it stops responding). So long as you keep it charged up and ocasionally close down all your open applications, you shouldn't need to routinely soft reboot.
I used to have to do this twice a day as my XDA2i was constantly locking up, but now I have removed the O2 Active screen it is just so stable and reliable I haven't soft reset the device in ages.
Sometimes software running on Pocket PCs can cause memory leaks (LOTS of PPC apps can do this, depending on various situations), so unfortunately - more often than I'd like, for sure - you HAVE to soft reboot, because your system becomes so bogged down with API calls and orphaned UI threads it grinds to a halt.
When I was using Helmi's 1.3.2 rom (I have since switched back to the latest WM2003 rom) I had some odd, seemingly hardware related, Issues:
*Back light randomly turned on and off, programs opened and closed and did random things, then the device would reboot.
*It would just randomly reboot.
*I would get a "Problem with bluetooth hardware" Error message when trying to scan for new devices some times, and I would have to soft reset.
*I could not turn off the screen in WMP while using A2DP
*The device would shut off completely and wouldn't turn back on occasionally, and the only way I could get to turn back on was to plug it in. After doing that, all the version numbers on the first boot screen would read "NONE" and I would have to soft reset the device several times to get the wireless working again.
I have taken very good care of my SX66 (I have only dropped it once), and these problems worry me...has anyone else experienced these?
I had also a lot of trouble after having installed a new version of WM5, because I forgot to wipe the memory clean (check step 9 - and especially 9.2 - in http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=Helmi). Just repeating this step will solve it... it dit for me. that's another thing I won't forget anymore
This is my 2nd HTC diamond , with the first one I had heating problems.
Now with this one the first thing I noticed (only twice) is that it keeps vibrating on incomming sms until I soft reset.. well it only happended twice and looks good now.
But what really annoys me is that on random moments the speakers dont give any sound at all and the device needs a soft reset.. This has happend like 5 times now. Anyone else experiencing this same ussue?
Yes it is known and AFAIK unsolved problem...
I have the same problem. Soft or hard resets don't change anything. The sound of the system disapears randomly and only returns after a soft reset. First I thought it had to do with the scheduled mail check, but I could eliminate that as a reason. I also reinstalled the original ROM, that didn't help either. Hopefully someone has a solution, while my Diamond isn't that much fun when it gives no sounds.
Dear buds,
I've bought a TD2 with WinMO 6.5 lately. I had lots of bugs and fixed them all but one...
After some time from bootup (after 1 or 2 hours) the sound of phone goes off without a reason. No sound from speaker, headset or volume control buttons. However everything goes well instead sound. Phone vibrates when get call, notifications and alarms vibrate without sound etc. My only solution to get back the sounds is soft reset. After soft reset everything gets fine...
I think this is a sound driver issue but... If someone to help or show the way on forum please help (because I couldn't find same issue on search)
Thanks in advance.
If there aren't any other programs causing this by adjusting your volume levels, It may be a driver issue and you'll probably have to hard reset.
This is a common issue when flashing a new ROM without hard resetting after.
Dear Bruce,
Thanks for solution suggestion.
I hard reset three times until I bought the phone but nothing changed. I'm using the official shipped ROM and I didn't flash any other ROMs.
Extra programs list:
Klaxon
SKTools Lite
Garmin Mobile XT (Because my Copilot runs only after first installing then crashes forever)
Sportypal
Google Translator
Could that happen because of wrong flashing at factory or service etc.? I mean, this phone is a Vodafone version.
In Turkey, Vodafone signal often goes off and usually my phone gets stuck when the signal is off. Could this be the reason for unloading driver?
The digits of my phone are here:
ROM version: 2.16.468.4 (67041) WWE
ROM Date: 11.12.09
Radio Version:4.49.25.17
The fact that it works for a short while after soft reset perplexes me.
You have verified your volume is on when the sound turns off? (Sorry I have to ask this)
Any other programs running at the time is stops?
GPS software can conflict with system volume and backlight, so maybe make sure Garmin is set to dynamic settings.
Other than that, I really have no suggestions as a hard reset has not helped.
Perhaps hard reset, test for a while and see if it fails w/o any programs. Then install one prog at a time until you find the cause.
There is a slight possiblity that it was a bad flash and the driver is corrupt, which would mean reflashing the stock ROM.
Sorry I couldn't be of more assistance.
Dear Bruce
Sorry for very late answer for your last post
It's sure the phone volume is on
I've been examining the phone for one week and tried some possibilities and still no way for the bug
First I hard reseted again, then didn't install any other programs. After 6 hours, the same issue occured.
I uninstalled CoPilot (which I didn't use after hard reset) then soft reset and wait, just only some hours later, the sounds went off again.
After several soft resets, I decided to play music and monitor if it happens. Then BINGO! The sound went off just after poor GSM signal. When the phone lost the signal, it temporarily locked itself. After 2 or 3 issue, the phone sounds went off.
I think, phone starts a search after signal loss, then it tries to execute rest after 10 or 30 seconds either the signal comes back or not. After some trials it cannot reload sound .dll and sounds lock forever. But after soft reset, everything gets fine again.
To be sure about signal loss, I took the phone in flight mode for one day and wait for the same bug and the second BINGO came Phone didn't show the same bug.
After all, I reflashed the official ROM of TD2 and tried the same things but nothing changed. It's sure that the bug is not due to the wrong flashing the ROM.
For now, I'm sure that the bug occurs because of poor GSM signal of Vodafone in my region. So the question comes
Is there anything (such as a registry tweak or vice versa) to make the phone not to lock itself while loosing the signal and searching? Or do I have a way to increase the signal sensitivity?
Thanks for the worthful answers.
Regards
Hi!
I tried hard reset, I don't install ANY program - doesn't change anything.
My XDA working fine for 3 months, but since 1-2 weeks randomly soft resetting, when I pressing the turn-on button. This event is 0 to 10 times/day.
Before automatically resetting, the incoming calls fail. When I have a call, then my XDA not ringing and looks like my phone turned off.
Only one suspicious thing occurred: I dropped down my XDA to the floor, but I can't remember when. (Before the trouble, or after the trouble.)
Is this a hardware problem? If the answer is Yes, then how can I repair my favorite XDA?
Or my be radio stack problem? Do You think, this trouble repairable with a radio stack upgrade?
If You have any idea or free book for this tell me
