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
I flash the my hima with the TofClock 2.01a32WWE ROM, and it works fine, and I'm very glad with it.
But now, some time I turn off my hima by pressing the power button, the screen went black, after a while, I want to light it to operate, the hima keeping black, and the hima cannot operate any more, and I tried to call my phone(hima), the hima didn't ringing. Also, SMS, MMS, all function dead. But the same time, the 2 leds, Blue and Green/Red, flash like normal.
At this time, the only way to operate hima normally was soft-reset it by press the hole with my pen.
:shock: :shock: :shock: :shock:
Is there someone experience this situation, and is there some way to solve the problem.
:idea: :idea:
ps: in the Settings --> System --> Power --> Advanced page, the 2 options can set "Turn off device if not used for" some minutes, when "turn off" time out, the same problem occurs like above, I called it Auto Turn Off
My device is Dopod 696 (Maybe Chinese mainland version of O2 XDA II).
:wink: :wink:
I also experienced similar problems, but with the 64 version.
After a while, when I tried to turn it back on, it began to act strange. First the automatic turn off backlight option was every time reset to 10 sec and then after a day or 2 I noticed that the screen was sometimes still showing some black lines. Changing the volume still gave the corresponding sounds, but nothing else seemed to work (or wasn't visible). Normal operating mode was only reinstated after a soft-reset.
I gave it a hard reset and restored a backup (using SPB). It's operating again, but it already contains the 10 sec change.
So probably have to start clean again and install everything from the beginning, but before I do I would like to make sure it will not happen again.
Appears like the Power Off option is screwed, no matter in which way I use it (button or a program).
Anyone have any thoughts on it?

Hi I have a MDA Vario 1/ XDA Mini S running WM5. Whenever I go to switch the device on or after a soft reset, it takes about 5-15 minutes to load to the Today screen. It comes up with the T-Mobile screen displaying IPL, SPL etc, freezes for about 20 seconds there and then goes to the blue Windows Mobile screen. This is where it freezes for a long time. Sometimes it wont load at all and will freeze completely.
Does anybody know why it is doing this and any solutions? Any one with the same problem?
All help will be much appreciated
Please help! 1st time this has happened today. My display has gone off. I soft reset the phone, it loads up the o2 screen, but goes off at the green windows screen. The rest of the phone is ok; flashing green light still ok, ive tried phoning it from another mobile, all ok.The home screen will appear but when i touch the screen it immediatey goes off. Ive a feeling its the windows sofware? I haven't done anything different to the phone at all for this to happen.
