xdaII: BIG problems with SIM, texting and using phone HELP!!

I have been having problems with my XDA II for some time, although it used to be relatively trouble-free and give or take a few idiosynchracies has worked properly since unlocking. I don't know if these problems are related or not so I will put them all in one message:
These are the problems:
1) Putting my Spanish SIM card in activates a hard reset 9 times out of 10 (it was fine putting the same card into my son's XDA). Once it did it putting my English SIM back in, but this is usually Ok.
2) Inbox stopped opening -when I click on 'unread messages' it just flickers. It won't open from 'Programs' or from 'New Message' either, nor by opting to send a message from a particular contact.
3) After a hard reset (involuntary) Inbox would open again until I restored my settings, whereupon it wouldn't, so it looks as though it is a dodgy setting.
4) After restoring contacts & appointments only (not settings) Inbox will open but it won't send texts. It sends the text to an ActiveSync folder instead (can't remember which one).
5) Since the above, there is now a new Folder appeared in SMS, entitled 'IPM.Root'. Weird.
6) Whenever I do a soft reset the volume box comes up and it makes a wild beep! beep! beep! beep! beep! beep! until I turn it off and on again.
7) The volume goes off by itself without me touching it: I virtually never hear my phone as volume has gone off again
8)Then there are the synchronisation problems. It often tells me it doesn't recognise my device and I have to set up a new partnership. This is laborious as I have two computers and then have to do it on the other as well...
Somehow I feel that I need a reset that's harder than hard - or do I need a new device?
Will someone help and advise me please!

Getting SMS Messages off Broken Phone

So yeah, I have an AT&T Tilt. The screen recently broke off from the phone but it still works, I can turn it on etc. Is there anyway to save my sms messages to my computer so I can put them on my new phone?
Thanks

use MY MOBILER to connect to your phone via your PC .. and you'll be able to control your phone by seeing your PPC screen on your PC
http://www.mtux.com/
Then you can use PIMBackup or something to save your info

I tried running this program, it says please weait. checking your mobile to see if mymobiler is running and exit now. It then says please wait. installing mymobiler on your mobile now. But it still says not connected...

Try hitting the left soft key to make it install ... bc whats happening is your phone is popping up the install screen where it asks "DEVICE or STORAGE" ... so hit the Left soft key which is "install" ... and hopefully that will install it.

You F'ing rock.
My Apache got stood on yesterday, and the screen is totally dead. You can't even tell if something has changes on the display it's so stuffed.
But My Mobiler is sweet. Allowed me to install/run PIMBackup, so now I've got everything back.
Good call on using the softkey to accept the install.

flashed with SNN ROM - problem with bluetooth and redial

hey guys.
i'm pretty new at this. i unlocked my phone way back over a year ago, but didn't do much other than add a bunch of programs and emulators. never flashed the rom....until yesterday night.
now i have IPL & SPL 3.08, Radio 2.71.11, OS 10.0.0.10 (i think) and flashed with SNN Diamond.
i'm having two problems (so far anyways):
1. bluetooth is not working right. i can connect to other phones. i can connect to the car bluetooth system and i can hear other people. but they can't hear me. this is a pretty big deal because i need to use bluetooth! how can i fix this problem?
2. this is not essential but it's annoying. when i hang up a call, i can't press "call" from the same screen (i.e. redial) because nothing will happen. it doesn't matter if i press the call button on screen or the actual hard button, the dialer wont call unless i go into phone book or history or otherwise enter the a number. just can't redial how do i fix this?
any help would be greatly appreciated!

Hi,
1. Try using other bluetooth device and make sure it is working in other device. Make sure "Receive all incomming beams" is ticked ( i.e Go to Start Manu -> Settings -> Connection Tab -> Click Beam and tick "Receive all incomming beams" then OK )
2. Use phone canvas. I think it takes mode memory but it is very good.
See this link
Plz Reply
Thanks

thanks. got the bluetooth working now
now i'm trying to figure out how to use phone canvas 'cause it's installed but i can't find it anywhere
but now i dont have to remove this ROM
EDIT: so apparently my attempt at installing the skins from the link you gave me are not working (well, they dont show up) because i need to install phonecanvas first? i found the link on the forums and i'm trying to install the file but after taking a while installing it, it ends saying it was unsuccesful...can you help me with that?

Hi,
Go to this link ( by MBarvian ), download and install.
Make your uninstall all the dialer skins if you have installed any..
Bye 4 Now

well the problem is that file wont succesfully install.
i can't remove the dialer skin i have now because it was cooked into the ROM. there's no setting or option anywhere that i can find to remove it. frankly, i love the way it looks. so i'm going to stick with it for now and see if it's not totally unbearable.
if i see i really can't stand not being able to redial i'll get back to this thread. thanks for the help so far

Please help me with my Fuze!!!

I am on my third one and now my 30 days are over so I'm stuck with it and if I return it based on warranty help I get a remanufactured one but I am having some really annoying problems. I have searched these forums but frankly they are very complicated and you all seem very advanced and technical and it's very confusing. I'm hoping someone can lay out in baby steps how to help me with these issues.
1. My folders, and TF3D indicate I have a text message when there are no conversations in there it's completely empty in every folder but it still indicates I have one new text message and it won't clear with a soft reset or anything.
2. Often times my calls go straight to voicemail and do not ring on my phone.
3. I drop a lot of calls
4. Often times my phone will flash and show who is calling but not actually ring even though the sound is completely on.
5. I get a ton of errors that want to report to Microsoft especially the shell32.exe error
6. Often times when I try to connect to the internet it won't work on the Opera browser or IE browser just says can't connect.
7. Often times my email won't download and I get a message saying check in my network connections and the only way it'll fix is if I power the device off.
8. The feature where I can flip it upside down to mute it doesn't work
9. Often times I will click on one spot and it activates something I didn't click.
These are just the ones I can think of off the top of my head. Can someone please help me? I am begging. You can find me on Yahoo at julesthequeen06 if it'd be just easier to tell me I'm a lost cause on chat. Thank you in advance for reading this far.

Have you flashed a new rom, loaded any progams, or done anything beyond out of the box configuring? The easiest answer would be to hard reset the phone and see if that helps.

We need to know some more in-depth info
Carrier:
Rom:
If you haven't tried flashing a rom I highly suggest doing so. This can help with a lot of the problems you are having. For the Stock Rom has a lot of problems.

i wouldnt flash a new rom if its screwing up like this out of the box. what have you installed on your phone? if its doing all these these without any installed programs or mods why have you waited 30 days to do something about it? it seems to me its more of a software issue. try hard resetting and go from there. if its fine, install one program at a time and find out which is causing it. if you have att then i dont think your mute is supposed to work like that, thats a feature you have to install another program to do. i could be wrong but mine doesnt work like that.

I would do a hard reset and clear everything... i would change my time to redirect the call to voice mail to the Max: 30 seconds, I would turn off error reporting because its just a pain in the arse.. the flipping it upside down to mute is the program thats having and issue but like everyone else said what do you have installed on your phone

Touch screen causing me to answer/cancel calls when phone is in my pocket

I've had my Touch Pro for a while now but I've always had one problem with it that is pretty darn annoying, & that is that the phone seems to auto-unlock when I'm receiving calls. And so, many times the phone has answered the call in my pocket & I've had no idea. Or worse yet, it's cancelled the phone call without me getting round to even take the phone out of my pocket. I wondered if there was any fix for this.
I'm pretty damn sure that I've seen this problem before when roaming around here & PPCgeeks but after spending the past half hour or so trying to look for a fix, I just can't seem to find one. And so, I knew that if I just posted a thread that someone would most likely be able to help me & it'd all be alot easier than me spending all day trying to find whatever it is I need.
Oh, & before you ask, I've not got any custom ROMs or anything on my phone. I've installed apps from here, & some other stuff, but it's all just on the standard XDA Serra ROM.

you could install the Tachi dialer which gives a sliding mechanism if answering the phone
or swtich on auto lock after backlight dim

Free program called slide to unlock "s2u2" will work, also, you can download the program Advanced Configuration, and there is an option to allow the default slide lock that is built into windows mobile. The screen will still light up, but, unless you unlock the screen, it won't answer the call.

Advanced Configuration Utility Thread on XDA>>>>> http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=317070

I tried the Advanced Configuration Utility program but whenever I try to load the program (obviously after installing it), I get an error message saying:
An unexpected error has occured in AdvancedConfig.exe.
Select Quit & then restart this program, or select Details for more information.
This application requires a newer version of the Microsoft .NET Compact Framework than the version installed on this device.

Clicking 'Details' doesn't seem to do anything, except give me the 2nd paragraph from above (about the .NET framework).
Where can download this ".NET Compact Framework", or does anybody know of any other programs/applications/utilities/whatever which can help me with this problem.
Oh, & yeah, thanks for the help guys.

Net Compact Framework v3.5
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=432470

Alright well I installed that & I'm still getting error messages when trying to load the Advanced Configuration Utility program. However this time instead I just get:
An unexpected error has occured in AdvancedConfig.exe.
Select Quit & then restart this program, or select Details for more information.

Click to collapse
And then if I click Details I get:
AdvancedConfig.exe

So yeah, there's still some kind of problem. Though what it is exactly, I do not know.
