I am getting a red green and blue screen with the 8125 when It turns off and then on :? and I have to hard reset but when I hard reset I don't loose my data. but my camera button doesn't work and my camera randomly opens after my 8125 comes out of sleep. Any Ideas on How to fix it???
By any chance is 8125 another name for Prophet\jamin\qtek s200?
What you are describing sounds like the bootloader, which you enter by pressing power + camera + reset.
I think your camera button is stuck and sending key presses at random.
Also, I think your comm manager button (under the volume slider) isn't working so instead of hard reset you get a soft reset which is the only way to exit bootloader.
8125
I think it is a wizard. But you can confirm at Cingular.com
Comm button works for sure but camera button doesn't seem to work even though it presses in. Thought it was software not hardware making it not work.
If you're using the stock case that came with the phone, that might be causing issues as well. check out this thread: http://www.howardforums.com/showthread.php?t=909904
Checked out cingular site. Scratch what I said about comm button, the HR on your device is probably different then mine, but I still think you are entering bootloader when you turn on your device.
Since it doesn't happen each restart, I doubt it's software related, especially since you are having trouble with the camera button. The only connection between camera and bootloader I can think of is the hardware button combination used.

I spilt some tea on my qtek s200 yesterday, and right after the spill, I unplugged the battery and dried it first with tissues and then a hair dryler .It seeed ok for a while but now I have a strange problem.Whenever I softreset the device, it sticks on the three color screen.
Softreset doesn't work at this stage so I try to hardreset the device.After I press camera+comm man+reset buttons, there is a confirmation message and then I press "yes", this is where,I think, the problem is; I can't get a format completed message and after this stage the device boots up normally.
After the spill, the camera button started to act weirdly. I open the camera app and try to shoot a photo by pressing the camera button but it doesn't react but whenever a turnoff the screen with the power button and on again it shoots a photo.
May be there is still some parts that need to be dried,so shall I dismantle it and take a look inside
If you have an idea, please have me informed.
Thanks.
To sum up the problem:
whenever I try to hardreset my ppc, it performs as a soft reset ,so,I cannot hardreset the device.
Help me please...
I wonder if one of the buttons (the camera button probably) is stuck. That would explain the entering bootloader and the inability to take a picture.
If you can get the device to boot up properly, in the settings under "System" there should be a "Clear Storage" program, that will allow you to do the same as a hard reset.
I tried that "clear storage" but that didn't work, all the same.Maybe you are right.Because when the bootloader screen came up, I tired to hardreset again,this time just pressing the comm manager button and reset the device with the stylus and it tried to hardreset but again was unable to do it.
So,i think, I should find a way to prevent the camera button from keeping pressed steadily.
Do you have an idea?
more likely the camera button have short circuited..
do u use usb cable to connect with pc .. if yes then after 3 color screen try to connect it and look if u see text at bottom left "usb" .. if its all true u can flash your ram
@sahir74,
When I connect the device on the three-color screen with the usb cable,i can see the "usb" on the bottom left.
I have no issues upgrading my qtek s200 (prophet), but when I try to hardreset, I come across a problem like this,or whenever I softreset the device, it doesn't normally boot up and just sticks at three-color screen.
Do you think a surgery can fix this problem?I am thinking about opening the device and doing something about the camera button.
All the problem arose when eye spilled a glass of tea on my s200 ,which happened exactly where the camera button is.
What ROM have you upgraded to? and, what is your devices IPL/SPL?
If you tried an official WM5 NVID ROM, then I think taking it apart and checking the connections is the only option...
Shadow 2
and I tired other roms, it seems to be a hardware problem.Anywayapart from this problem, I am using my device happily though.
When I wake the polaris up, it seems that the left button (the one in the wheel) is permanently pressed until I press another button. I have to do this in order to unlock the device, as the button is pressed I only get the message "Press cancel and then unlock".
This happens every time I wake up the device and sometimes when I am using it in other situations. It is almost unusable in this state.
I suppose it is a hardware problem. Any ideas for a way to fix it? I wouldn't like to send it to service, but I am fearing this is the only chance I have now. Any help would be appreciated. I have already switched it off, and also removed the battery for a while, but I have the same problem when I turn it on again.
This has happened to me for the first time yesterday. The device has not fallen to the ground any time since I have it (since February). I only carry it in my pocket.
Thanks for your help.
ah, I forgot to tell you. When the button stops being pressed (because I have pulsed another one) it doesn't work anymore. If a press it, no effect, the cursor doesn't move to the left...
I have read in another forum that someone who had a similar problem with the wheel managed to solve it by doing a hard reset and by restoring a backup done before the problem. He stated that using the option "erasing memory" didn't work and that he had to do the hard reset by doing "gps button + ie button + soft reset".
Here is the funny thing. I cannot do that kind of hardreset. Why? Because as the left button seems always pressed the confirmation screen in which you must press the send button to perform the hard reset, never appears. I guess it is due to the cruise which detects that the combination of buttons is no good or because the confirmation screen is shown but as the left button is pressed, you do not have enough time to press the send button (I don't even see the screen).
Is there anyway to perform the hard reset in another way? Thanks for your help...
Well, my cruise works fine now. What have I done? Nothing. Maybe it was a hardware problem in the contact of the button (some dirt or whatever) and now it is working. I don't know, although it wouldn't surprise me if it were software (I had a similar problem with the vibrator in a Mio A701, two days broken, got to work after that and never again failed). I just used the bluetooth and received a couple of calls.
Now I can hardreset. As the button is no longer permanently pressed, the combination of buttons works. Although I haven't pressed "send" to actually do it, since it seems fine.
More here if it fails again, but as I told you I read similar problems in the wheel in another forum...
Hi,
I'm experiencing a strange problem with my Tornado (i-mate SP5, WM6 Platinum Edition). Today it stopped working suddenly, I had to remove the battery. When rebooting, the i-mate sceen appears, then the HTC logo, then Nitrogenius' splashscreen, then a beep sounds, and afterwards the screen is black and nothing happens, no keys are responding. I can "switch off" the phone by long pressing of the power key. Reset with pressing the 2 soft keys and the starting key does not work, the phone starts until the splashscreen and afterwards the screen goes black. Strangely I can connect the phone with activesync, synchronize contacts and calendar and even explore the device with activesync's filemanager; and the battery is charging, too.
Any suggestions except reflashing?
Regards

Thanks for the hint, I tried, but unfortunately I seem to miss something. Could you elaborate a bit how you managed to switch on backlight.
Thanks a lot!
EDIT: It worked! You made my day!
After pressing the keys you mentioned (and some others, too) and after rebooting again the backlight is on again. Thanks a lot!
I met the same problem in many cases and I found the culprit, it is tornadolowlight or tornadopowercontrol. while these appli are activating if I soft reset or by force restart (removing battery) then next startup will get a blank screen. But actually in this case the device is on and working only thing is its backlight is off. So, by using a torch light or simply using MyMobiler from a pc you can see the screen, and start that culprit appli then done
OR another thing I have done is I put shortkey for MultiFlashLight and whenever such situation happened I just press the shortkey and activated it and done
Anyone have problems with the 4 hard keys on the front of the phone and the scroll wheel? Talking about the att fuze here. Randomly when using the text program it will scroll in and out without stopping. Only way to make it stop is to press the power button to turn the screen off then again to turn the screen back on. Also, when i press the bottom left key to bring up the dialer sometimes it will not and just do nothing. Just as in a phone call i press the bottom right hard key to hang up the call and sometimes it will not respond what so ever.
I know the keys work because when i press them they light up showing i pressed them but they have no effect. This happens about 50% of the time and not at all rom related. I have tried over 8 different roms including those with tf3d2 and wm6.5 and all have the same problem. I have even tried flashing to the stock att rom and even on that rom i am still having this problem. I have never dropped my phone or any physical damage. Any ideas? I have already called warranty exchange and have another fuze on its way to me. I am convinced it has to be hardware related some how since no rom will work 100% for me with these keys. I have had my phone since january and out of the blue this all started about 3 weeks ago.

I dont have that problem, but sometimes my keys dont work and I have to turn off the screen and turn it back on
sometimes I even have to soft-reset my phone
this is partially because the Left and Right directional button is roughly between the Home/pick up and Back/hang up keys respectively. you have to press more towards the corner otherwise it will register as a left or right press.
another situation is when it is running a bunch of processes in the background it forgets what keys are what and you just have to turn it off and turn it back on (the display) and it should work again. that or open a random program and exit out back into tf3d
goodluck
Actually, I have exactly the problem that you're reporting where the zoom in happens circurlarly, without any ceasing. It's driving me batty.
This is the craziest issue.. My slide to unlock is no longer working so therefore I can hardly use the phone except that I can take inbound calls. I have tried to factory reset using down volume, circle, reset. Please please please any other ideas are greatly appreciated! I am totally stuck with a useless phone and am having to use a BJ II for now! Uggh!
How come the hard reset didn't work? You need to hold down vol down and the dpad button until the tri-color screen appears.
The easiest thing would be to connect to your pc, then access the registry with ceregeditor. Switch HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Shell\Lockscreen\enabled:1 to 0 and soft reset. Then just unlock off the old screen.
Beats the heck out of me.. I hold the volume button down, and hold down the dpad and nothing. I have done it on reboot, I have done it from the lock screen and nothing. As for your registry idea I like it, its just too bad I cannot get the phone to connect to windows. I have tried it on 2 Windows 7computers now. Anymore ideas?
You need to figure out how to hard reset-you're clearly doing it wrong. Hold down vol-down and the d-pad button simultaneously. Keep holding them down. Then just soft reset. Don't hold down the soft reset-just tap it with the stylus. Wait until the hard reset screen appears, then let go of the other two buttons. There is really no way that it won't work, it's a bootloader operation and it doesn't matter what crap you have on your main memory.
I'm having the same issue. Just flashed the Energy Rom and now I can't unlock my phone. I'll try some of the suggested tips and let you know which worked.

I edited the registry with the above value and it solved my problem - Phone is no longer locked on bootup. Now my issue is that somehow my touchscreen is unresponsive (probably why I couldn't unlock my phone). I believe it's a hardware issue not a software one because it looks like liquid got under the screen somehow. Lame. Now I need to flash back to stock ROM and lock it so I can send it in under insurance.
