Hi All,
I have an Prophet (XDA, Qtek 200) since 4 months. It worked very well. Yesterday evening I switched off normally. But today morning, when I switch it on, the screen brightning strongly, with some blue color, and running some strips in it, but nothing more. Dispite of this screen problem, the unit works well, I heard the beginning signal. Then I tried to synchronize the unit with my desktop computer, and it was successful.
After that I tried all well-known method, to reconfigure my Prophet:
- soft reset (with stylus)
- remove battery for several minutes.
- total fill-up of battery.
- remove SD memory card.
- hard reset (camera+comm buttons and soft reset)
- enter into bootloader.
Neither of them caused changes, the screen doesn't work.
I'm affraid I have some hardware problem in screen or video-driver-"card".
Could anyone help me to repair my unit?
Thanks for advance!

Just got a T-Mobile MDA compact. I have installed the extra applications (FAX, GPS, etc) from the CD ROM supplied with the MDA.
After the installation the PC tells you to do a soft reset on the MDA.
I then did the soft reset and once the MDA restarted the screen was all messed up. I had to do a hard reset to resolve.
Is this a common problem - is there a fix to it? I would like to know as otherwise i am going to be very reluctant to upload any other software incase this happens again.
Messed up in what way?
If it's the Today screen that's messed up, and looks like it's one screen half drawn over another screen, this is the issue when you sometimes install things in the Ext_ROM.
The fix is simple, just click Start>Settings>Today and then just tick "Use this picture as Background" and click OK, your today screen should be fixed.
I have to do this after I install Ext_ROM programs, but just do it once and the phone's fine until I install another thing.
thanks - worked a treat
Yesterday, I had to do a clean reset on my hp ipaq (running WM6.1) because of a problem I was having with my wifi card. The reset went as usual, and I was greeted with the "tap here to set up your device" screen. Next, the usual screen alignment test appeared. I did everything precisely as it asked, and tapped each of the targets. However, the screen alignment keeps repeating and repeating. I've been trying all night . I've already cleaned my screen, and I couldn't have been more precise with the tapping. I've tried everything, from reseting the device to letting the battery die and trying again, with no luck. After a web search, it appears I'm by far not the only one with this problem. Does anyone know a solution to this problem that does not involve buying a new device? My hp warranty is over, and I really can't afford any expensive repairs. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Try hard reseting it again.
How do you hard reset with buttons again?
Hi,
It's happened to me twice in the first week already.
TouchFlo 3D 1.2.34591.1_1813.6
Crashed once on startup, and distored the whole screen. Have to do a soft reset.
It crashed again just then, on wake up there is an error about Manila (I believe that's the TouchFlo program name), then it distorted the whole screen again.
Has anyone had this problem?
Could this be a hardware problem?
Cheers

i have the same problem!
I have the same problem too, although it happened to me only once. It had been charging all night and when I turned it on (still on the charger) the screen was distorted. The white leds around the dial were permanently lit.
I didn't get an error message. No button worked, including the standby button. I had to remove the battery to shut the device down. Anyone else with this problem?
Me too:
first time with ship wwe rom from the box
second and third with RUU_Raphael_HTC_WWE_1.90.405.1_Radio_Signed_Raphael_CRC_52.33.25.17_1.02.25.19_Ship.exe (this one is little better than original ship)
Usually the device crash after 1 or 2 days without soft resets
Same thing here with WWE_1.90.405.1!!!
Hi Folks,
I had my Cuise to repair at o2 (rubber issue). After receiving my gadget, I had to re-install my image (original o2 WM6.1 and restore my backup (Sprite Backup)). Since then my Cuise tend to freeze after wakeup for several seconds. Not every time, just sometimes.
Does anyone has an idea what happens?
Best regards, oli
I have the same kind of problem. When I push the on/off button to get my Cruise off of standby mode, it doesn't do a thing. All other buttons are ineffective too. If I do a soft-reset, it acts normal for 2 or 3 minutes, but if it gets into standby mode again (automatically or manually), same thing happens.
I now run Touch-IT Lite v.1.0 on it since yesterday, but I had the same problem with the full version of Touch-IT. The full version worked very well for maybe a month, but I don't know if it's the firmware or that's something wrong with my Cruise. Can anyone please help?
EDIT:
Nevermind, I found this topic about my problem: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=366558&page=1
I fixed the issue on my Touch Cruise. As I tried to optimize my power management using the Tweak Tools and enabling power management for SD Card etc., I set everythin to "Default" there and now it is working fine again!
Well, still now got a hughe battery drain left... :-(
I'm not sure how many people, if any, have experience with this phone, but I'm taking a shot in the dark because I am completely out of options here. The phone is similar to the Cect M88, and the other Cect iPhone-clones available, although I'm not sure how similar the button layout is.
I installed PCM Keyboard last night, and all was working fine until this afternoon, when all of a sudden, my phone wouldn't wake up. I ended up having to pull the battery in order to get it to restart, but then it wouldn't boot past the Windows Mobile screen (the first one - didn't even make it to the second screen).
After several attempts to hard reset (top volume button + camera button + power button), I was able to get it reset, but even though active sync was running, folders weren't showing up properly on the phone itself. I did a soft reset, and folders then showed up, but this time active sync wouldn't load on the phone. Several more soft resets did nothing, but I kept trying, and finally... the phone froze up again to the point where it hung on the Windows Mobile screen again. Now, despite all attempts, I can't even get it to hard reset. When I push all buttons from an off state, the screen will turn blue (which seems to indicate some kind of resetting is going on since it normally goes straight to the WM screen) and then a few seconds later, the Windows Mobile screen will come up and hang. I've tried every combination of buttons possible, and I've tried hard resetting probably a good 20-30 times since this happened. I've removed the SIM card, removed the SD card... I've basically tried hard resetting seemingly every way possible, and yet it still will not reset and load up WM 6.0 pro like it should.
Any ideas on how I can get this thing to at least move past the WM screen? If I'm totally unable to hard reset, what would be the next best course of action? Since this is an off-brand phone with no support or any kind of warranty, are there repair places out there that can restore the OS? Is that something I can do myself? (Phone didn't come with any software or anything.) I'm at a loss here... I really don't want to end up with a $200 blue flashlight/paperweight. I know I took my chances when I bought it, but well... this stinks.
worked
hey man i know its old and hopefully you still have your phone.. ok what you need to do is let the phone die completely so you may have to keep the blue screen on and keep turning it on till your phone does this like you i have hard reseted serveral time to no avail but when the phone died i took out the battery plugged it in to the wall charger placed the battery in the phone let the red led light by the camera light up then i turned it on and before the screen could show the splash i did the hard reset phone is aye ok !! hope this helps man.. your post helped me..
