O2 Stellar problem - General Topics

Hi
I can't find o2 stellar so sorry if I'm posting in wrong place.
I have problems when visiting websites with Java button, the phone just doesn't do anything. I initially thought this was a stellar specific problem as a colleague of mine has the same problem and Orbits don't. Some of my colleagues Stellars do work though. I don't recall changing any settings. Hard resets also dont work.
Anyone any suggestions how to make Java work?
Also the hard/factory reset I've tried involves pressing the two soft keys then the reset button and waiting for a message. The message doesn't appear for me.
Is this the hard reset? If so any idea why it wouldn't work?
Thanks
Dave

Changed hardware buttons work to hard reset?

OK guys, need your help on this one. I have a Qtek S200 and I wold like to change my ROM to a newer one. I have only one problem. After ROM flashing is done you are supposed to do a hard reset. Only problem is, my 'send' button doesn't work (previous owner wasn't very careful with the device). My question is, can I change one of the hardware button's function in the registry (or somewhere else) and do a hard reset after flashing a new ROM?
Thanks in advance,

I don't think such reg hack exists. Even IF it works, the hardresetting procedure does not go through the register, so whatever you might do that might work while in operation mode (eg normal mode, in WM5), it WILL not perform the same when you are hardresetting. You can only do a hardware fix (eg send to a store or DIY).

Randomly shuts off

Hey,
in the past couple of days my phone has just randomly shut off while I was using it (e-mailng). The screen will go blank and the green LED will stop blinking. I'm using HTCs latest room.
I called HTC support and they say I should send it in. Has anyone dealt with HTC repairs yet? I don't really feel like sending my phone in and then they can't do anything. I'm dependent on it.
Did anyone experience the same thing their phone? (random shut offs while using, not windows freezing)
Thanks,
My advice is dont send it in.
I had the same problem and i got it solved with a hard reset.
And while i was at resetting i though i'd upgrade to Gonzo's WM 6.1
Just do a hard reset or install gonzo's rom and you'll be fine.
Hi there, same problem here. Getting very annoying to type a message or try to dial a number and the damn thing shuts off. Doesnt happen all the time, maybe once a day or every other day. Have a updates skin on it from fireburned, not sure if that has any effect on it. On doing a hard reset, what will be lost on the phone so I know what to save first.
Hey There,
I have the same problem, I find it turns off in the middle of my calls. I think it might have something to do with the battery, because it doesn't seem to do it when it's plugged into a charger. I upgraded to Dr. Gonzo's WM 6.1, but that didn't fix the problem. Still happy that I upgraded though. Does any one have an idea of what's wrong?
I had the same problem, and tried several roms. Nothing helped. Then I flashed, so I had the newest radio etc. but that didnt help either...
I tried for a time not to install anything at all, but that didnt help, therefore I send it in to the repair shop. All they did was to hard reset it and send it back. Then I send it back and then they replaced the mainboard, and after that it works perfect...
But...
It might happend to your phone if you clock it to faster speeds. - But if your phone goes black without you installing any software then send it in.
if you hard reset, you will lose all your data, and you are going to restore all the settings to default
going to lose sms, mms, emial and stuff,
search somewhere in the forum , i've seen somewhere a great backup program but cant remember the name, you should try using it before hard reseting
cheers

Problems with password...

Hello!
I have a HTC Touch Cruise and I was testing sprite terminator, which seemed a nice (and very useful) program. However, after the instalation I introduced a password with lower and upper case and numbers. In the end, it asked me to reboot and I said Ok.
But, after that, at the beginning it asks me for a password. The problem is that the keyboard only has numbers, not letters, which makes it impossible to introduce the password (as it has letters and the keyboard doesnt).
Ive tried to introduce my PIN and even tried to introduce only the numbers of my password, but none of them worked. I just dont know what to do.
Is there anyway to solve this without performing a hard reset? Cant I use another keyboard with letters?
Help is much appreciated.
Thanks.
Look for a little triangle that may pop up the keaboard you need, if that doesn't do it, sounds like a "HARD RESET" time. Your getting as smart as me
I've found on the sprite software forum someone with the same problem as me.:

The site admin has said something of how to solve the problem, but I didnt understand it quite well. Can someone help me understand what happened and how was this problem solved?
Thank you!

WM6.1 - I'm asked for a password, but I don't have one!

Hello.
I recently got a Sony Ericsson XPERIA X1 (with Windows Mobile 6.1), and I set a password on it.
Sometimes when it would ask me for my password, the shift or fn keys wouldn't work, so I couldn't enter it. I would have to soft reset the device to be able to type in my password.
Frustrated, I decided to disable password protection entirely. I then found that after leaving the device alone for a period of time (while sleeping, for example), it would lock and ask me for a password - but since I no longer had one, I couldn't. I would have to soft reset the device to bypass the password screen.
I searched around, and found that this was a bug in Windows Mobile, and the only solution was to hard reset and never enable password protection. After a while of putting up with it, I flashed my device to use itje's Touch-IT v7, and I performed a hard reset. It was fine for a while, but now it's doing it again: it's asking me for a password when I leave it alone for a period of time, but I don't have one. I never set a password this time.
Is there any real solution to this? It's incredibly frustrating. Thank you in advance.
you mean the security password that is enforced when using exchange email? there is ap app that will enable you to turn it off, but you should read this thread (the app is listed here but you should take heed of the warning from deedee). I leave it up to you.

Try "hard reseting" it
I'm not using Exchange email, and the checkbox to disable password protection isn't greyed out (like it is in that thread). Thanks for the link anyway though, I'll have a look around the registry.
Anyone else know anything about this?
Edit: As I said in my original post, I already tried a hard reset when this problem originally appeared. I hadn't touched the password protection settings at all since my hard reset, but it's happening again.
Does nobody have a solution for this?
are you sure someone isn't messing with your phone and setting a password? I've been using windows mobile for 6 years and never had that problem.
And you said something about a bug.... can you link me to whatever you found?
Thanks for the reply, I appreciate it.
I just tried searching for that again, but unfortunately I can't find it. It was a thread with somebody saying that they have no password set, yet the device asks for one so they can only bypass the screen by soft resetting - and that's the exact problem I'm having now. There was no solution posted so I didn't bookmark it or anything.
I am the only person that has had access to my phone, so nobody has messed with it. The password setting is definitely disabled, and the HKLM\Security\Policies\Policies\00001023 registry value is set to 1 (disabled). My phone doesn't ask me for a password when I first start it (so I can get past it each time via a soft reset), it just seems to happen after 10 hours or so - I'm not exactly sure what triggers it.
Edit: I'm not sure if this is what I read before, but it seems to describe the same thing.

Thats the question: is it really time for WM6?
So far i believe that the device cannot digest what we have so far of WM6. Too many non-functional things or bugs if you would like to say =_=
Device auto-locks and asks for password and if you dont have a password you cannot get into the device other than by soft reset. Asks password even for activesync! PDAViet has problem with activesync in vista as it disconnects after 5 minutes. WiFi only turns on from Comm center. Hang up's on 25MB free RAM. A lot of memory leak! 10MB to run SPB Time -_-...

I have recently purchased HTC Touch with WM6. 2 days ago, it suddenly locked. I couldn't unlock because it asks for password. Because I didn't set a password, I couldn't unlock.

This is really wierd, i have been using wm since 5 was on the scene and ive never come across your issue. I appreciate that your not using exchange but did you try the zeynee unlock app? It might stop the lock screen, you never know. If it doesnt work then nothing lost huh??
I didn't try it, no. I was concerned about the posts saying the application used up too much battery power, and thought checking the registry would be good enough (since nothing should be changing the value). I'll install it now and see if the problem still occurs. I don't have much hope that this will help though.
Okay, it just happened again. The application didn't help.
Ok, worth a try...
Have yoyu considered flashing to a different rom to see if this works? Is there a new stock Rom available?
Ill have to look more into this, maybe msdn has something on it.
Well, I had this problem with both my original Vodafone ROM and the custom one I'm using now. I'm reluctant to flash it again due to the hassle of reinstalling everything again.
I think it may be related to notifications. It just happened again as I got a text message, and last time it happened just before I received a Skype call. When I'm away and come back to find it locked, there tends to be a new icon in the notification area. It definitely doesn't happen every time I get a notification though...

Vibration on Connect

Hi I have looked through all the forums for my issue but I cannot seem to find my solution. I love the vibration on connect feature but I have not been able to get it to work. I have it checked in the advanced phone settings, and have looked in the registry "HKLM\Software\HTC\PHONE\PhoneExtendSetting\ConnetingVibration" and the value is set to 1, but it still never seems to work for me. I was wondering if someone could help out with that, I would highly appreciate it.
Thanks a lot ,
Mikel
assuming that you have already performed a soft reset in this case, I think you should try to change the registery value back to 0 and then try to "activate" it via the actual menu on the settings option. and do another soft reset.
I hope that helps. otherwise, if all else fails and nothing is helping, a hard reset should solve the problem.
good luck
Vibration on Connect still not working
I tried all those things and still have no luck! Do you have any other ideas?
you even tried the hard reset? That usually clears everything back to factory settings.
If that's the case then it might be the rom that you are using.
At this point, i think you are beyond my scope of knowledge (which isn't much in technical details). Hopefully one of the more experienced members here will provide you a better answer than me.
Vibration on connect
Yes Im using the chrome rom and that could be the issue. If there is anyone who could help me with this that would be greatly appreciated!
which dialer does it use? is it the standard htc dialer that came with your phone? or is it the newer tachi dialer? google or youtube these if you don't know the difference between them. I suspect that you have the newer tachi dialer, which doesn't actually work with vibrate on connect with the fuze . If it's the older dialer (ie on a stock rom) then i would recommend hard resetting to get it back. good luck!
ps make a signature with your rom and radio etc or put it in your question so others know what you're running
