Orbit 2 - can't turn bluetooth on

The title says it all really. I've tried searching the forums by the way but couldn't get it to work.
I go into connection manager from the today screen and tap on the bluetooth to switch it on, the egg timer comes up for a few seconds as if it's trying to turn on, but then can't. Is this a regular issue? I can't find a self diagnosis tool on this machine, which I've had on all my previous Pocket PCs, is there one hidden away somewhere?
Many thanks for any help.

i think it's just broken. some kind of hardware failure. i got the same problem. have to send it in. :-(

Make a hard reset. I helped for me.

Right I'll try a hard reset if someone could just tell me how to do it. Many thanks.

First hit on google for "hard reset polaris": http://www.hardreset.eu/htc_touch_cruise_polaris_hard_reset_soft_reset.html
You might wanna put some effort in it yourself first, before asking.

Point taken, but the problem with your links' information and all the hard reset guides I initially found, is that the buttons referred to aren't the same as the Orbit 2. Even if you search for Orbit 2 reset info you get a page as you've linked about touch cruise.
Anyway found the info eventually but hard resetting didn't help the bluetooth problem, looks like I've got to send it back to O2. Sucks.

My colleague's Polaris has also gone RMA because of the same bluetooth problem. Hard reset didn't help either.
BTW, now that you know how to hard reset the Orbit2, maybe you can post it here to help others?

Hard resetting Orbit2
Good point. To hard reset the Orbit2 you just push and hold down the "OK" and the windows start menu buttons simultaneously and then press the recessed reset button once. Continue to hold the 2 buttons until the hard reset prompt screen appears then follow the instructions.
So, maybe this isn't the isolated problem they'd have me believe it is then. I've noticed that when the GPS is in use + bluetooth and maybe wifi, the unit gets very hot and I wonder whether this caused it to overheat.....

Major problem with touch screen on Polaris

Hello all... got kind of a big problem that i at the moment don't have an answer to,..
inastalled advanced configuration tool 3.2 on HTC Polaris, the first crash i had was when I enabled animation for menus... (the start menu turned black and the polaris froze), but when i managed to start the advanced configuration tool i unchecked it and it was ok,...
the MAJOR PROBLEM accured when I set the touch screen sensitivity, because the touch part of the screen is inresponsive,.. meaning it does not work at all,.. tryed very hart pressing but it doesn't do it.. the problem is because i can't reach eg start menu or the lower 2 shortcuts with hard button cursor (the wheel)... gestures work however, so i can call the touch flo cube but am not able to select anything, and sam thing goes for enetering pin,.. so i'm not able to make phone calls at the moment.. did few hard resets, and uninstalled the adv. conf. tool but nothing helped... can anyone tel me where (and how to get there) can i adjust this back to normal, i wanted to do this in the advanced configuration tool 3.2 but the problem is you cant make any changes since the screen doesn't work,.. same with reinstalling the program, i can select to install it on a card but canot "click" on next since the screen doesn't do it and the hard keys "can't go there"
so really really someone help me please...
thnx

Are you sure you hard reset and this problem went away or did you mean soft reset?
Maybe aligning the screen will help reset the pressure? Click the button in the middle of the wheel and the GPS button at the same time, the Windows align screen pops up. See if that helps.
I find it very hard to believe that you hard reset and the touch screen sensitivity is still not there. That can't be right.

Hi,
thanx for the reply,... another problem that accoured afterwards was that my friend held the end button (wich locks the keys, screen) and the phone was additionally locked... and literally nothing (again NOTHING ) helped, spent 5 hours trying to save the situation,.. i did soft reset (so your assumption was right) but when later tryed hard reset it probably wasn't done since the instructions say you do it with holding gps and iExplorer buttons while soft reseting it... this resulted in getting the "hard reset screen" wich says to confirm hard reset with hitting the send button, wich unfortunatelly i wasnt able to find in hard keys, and nothing else but this warning text was on the screen as well.. so in the end it probably ended upo wit soft resetting it, anyways it didn't help,... i decided to reinstall the rom i downloaded on htc official site,... it went thru ok and the phone is , though out of the box at least functional,... but in the end, i must admit that am a little surprised this happened with this tool pack (i actually avoided altering the registers just in order to avoid this kid of situations since i don't really know much about these things)... was expecting it to work (in my case) a bit better, more stable. All i wanted really was to get a bit louder speaker volume when ringing and ability to alter the HTC home toolbar, since i find the weather screen totaly irreliable and never really use it, so i thought I would have sth there that i might really have some use of..
well nevertheless.. the phone is working, that's all that matters at the mom so i can again start finishing my phd wich i am defending in a week
PS. the fact that you can not do practically anything without the touch screen just sucks big time, if i compare it to the mouse on pc,... i saved the situation many times with the keybord .. in 1 word strange
take care

My Mobile
Perhaps you should have tryied out the "My Mobile" aplication that allows you to use your mobile from a PC.
It shows a windows with the mobile screen and you can touch it and use the mobile like if you was touching the REAL mobile...
Late for that solucion, perhaps another with that problem can solve it this way...

@gastonfama: am not sure this would help, since a friend that has htc diamond has this tool pack on and it work k ok on his phone,.. that's why i predicted that it is going to be stable enough on mnie as well,.. so in my thinking, if the 2 htc that are rather alike had such different "reaction", than an emulation would be even less comparable to mine, thanks though

Had the same problem with Schaps_AdvancedConfig and wrong HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Drivers\TouchPanel\PressureThreshold setting.
XML I used had "200" as advised value (system default is 2908!),
after changing you could hit it with a hammer and nothing.
Managed to set is back to recommended value 9000 using MyMobiler app and all problems gone.
See also HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Drivers\TouchPanel\PressureThreshold
sys default is 18866, I use now 19866 and I'm happy
Check tips&tricks thread

I got the same problem, I wanna to install "My Mobiler" but due to the screen is locked, I can't continue the installation, any help ?

well as far as I see here (forgot how i installed it after previous post) you have an exe here :
http://www.mymobiler.com/downsafe.aspx
so you will install it from the pc anyways, but how will you make the confirm on where to install it (mybe if you put storage card out and there will be only 1 memory option, but you will still have to confirm installation i guess).. i wasnt able to confirm without the screen on polaris,.. maybo on some other phone

double post...mistake

I had that same screen not working problem after tweaking the phone with advanced config 3.3, 3.2, 3.1, only hardware buttons work.
Problem can only be solved by Hard Reset. Version 2.2 I think is the only one that works (not thoroughly tested though)

HELP: Touchpad/screen doesn't respond, can't enter bootmode/security code or PIN code

First of, I have a problem getting into the bootloader as I've said in my post: forum . xda-developers . com / showthread.php?t=759279
I've been using Kostas244's ROM -> www . forum . xda-developers . com / showthread.php?t=554071 for a few months now, no problems until now.
What happened: The touchscreen began to not respond to my input, slowly and gradually for a few days. I clicked on a few things, something else was triggered. So I figured I only had to reboot the phone. Now I can't get even use my phone.
My phone activies: Calls, SMS, Alarm, Play Solitaire, Taking Photos. That's about it. Nothing else.
Now I can't seem to enter the bootloader (Camera Hold + Power) during startup, can't get into the system cause the slider reacts just once and then it hungs up. Freezes for a while, then after I shut down the screen and turn it on again it simply does not respond at all.
First time I could enter my security code, but then I couldn't enter my PIN code so I took out my SIM CARD - then I couldn't enter my security code and nothing seems to be working.
Right now my phone ask me to enter a code due to "several bad atempts to get into the phone" and I could only press q (whatever I would input, it simply gave me a q and then nothing) and that doesn't do me any good.
Just a few minutes ago I tried forum . xda-developers . com / showthread.php?t=636170&highlight=bricked+my+cruise&page=2 on the thread ( forum xda-developers com / showthread.php?t=636170&highlight=bricked+my+cruise&page=2 ) who seemed to have a similiar problem as mine - the touchscreen isn't working.
But I don't have Windows XP (if that's the case it's not working) and the guides seems to point that it has to be in RGB mode (bootloader) and that is not working either.
Does anyone have any ideas or solutions I could try? This just happened out of the blue, I hadn't done anything with the phone for a whole day and it just began acting like this. No damage to the phone has been made or anything out of the ordinary. So it sounds like a software problem, but I can't seem to get past it.
I use Linux 64 and Windows 7 64 if there's solution to connect to the device on either Operating Systems.
Thanks anyway.

To enter the bootloader screen press the camera button an the reset button at the bottom of your phone 'the little hole next to the usb'.
You could try hard reset press and hold both bottom buttons and reset 'you will lose your contacts sms ect' so back up using pimbackup.
If your digitizer is not working 'doesn't respond to touch' try sync your phone and install mymobiler/,then you can browse you phone and backup to sd card before hard reset.

Already tried that, as I included in my previous post about getting access to the bootloader. I can't get into the bootloader with Camera Hold + Reset. Nothing happens, it's as if the buttons don't respond correctly.
Hold down both "bottom buttons"? You mean GPS and IE buttons? Tried that too. Tried a few others. And I'm certain this worked before. Like I said in my post, nothing has happened to the phone recently - it just started acting this way. So I'm guessing it's more a software problem than a hardware problem. Since I have HARD SPL and a homecooked OS the chances of it being that is a probability.
I have nothing that needs to be backed up, so I don't need to do anything about that.

Hi
I have same problem. Screen doesn't react (only if press hard), and i can't enter bootloader and make HR.
Also, I had same problem 2 month ago. But I managed to revive it - made a lot of try of HR and one of them was successful. but now it is dead again and I don't know what to do...

help htc phone

Hi friends,
I have a HTC TATTOO I received a year ago and now I measured code my little brother played with it and put it to me
And he does not let me go with GMAIL account (password and email are correct)
Version 1.6
Please Help

I understand all of those words, just not in that order.

I think you may be referring to issue 3006 on pre-Eclair Android versions.
When you failed the pattern too many times it blocks and you have to put your Google account and password to unlock it, but the bug prevented it from unlocking, showing an 'Incorrect user/pass' message.
You need to do a factory reset to solve the problem. Follow these instructions:
1) With the phone turned off, press and hold the HOME and BACK buttons, and then briefly press the END CALL/POWER button.
2) Press the ENTER button to begin the reset process. (Otherwise, press the END CALL/POWER button to cancel.)
Mind that doing so will make you lose all your data (SMS, apps, etc). SD card will be fine thou.
I hope I have deciphered your post correctly. The truth is, it's a bit hard to understand. :S

Hi mate, when you say 'locked out' do you mean a password or pattern at the lock screen, a SIM (network) lock, or a PUK/security lockout?
The more info you can give, the more I can help you

No worries
First, try this. It's for the AT&T GS2, but may work on yours too.
Alternatively, you could have a go at this method.
There may be others too. That came from just a quick Google search. The final alternative would be to factory reset the phone, but you will lose all your photos etc. from the phone

Thats the problem its gone past the pattern stage now its asking me to enter my email and password,
which i have done many times now and still doesnt change...
i will do factory reset as a last resort.
thankyou

Is it possible your daughter changed it to her email/password? Just a thought
If not, a factory reset will get you out of trouble, although it's not ideal.
Best of luck with it, let me know if you need anything further

all my contacts etc are saved on the sim and the memory card.
how do i do a factory reset?

Are you running a custom.recovery, like CWM?
