Hi,
This is what happens on my device:
-first press -> screen goes black/off -> screen goes on again -> device is locked
-second press -> screen goes off -> stays off
I'd like to know if this is the normal expected behaviour of the off-button,
and I'd rather have it stay off already on the first press.
Is this possible?
Cheers
Christian
Hi!
I can't confirm this behaviour on my charmer with vlodecks rom.
pressing the button short: display off, no lock
pressing long: shut down...
which version did you have previous?
i had the regular TMO AT AKU2 update (with reduced extended rom installations).
maybe a reflash/hard reset could solve this problem.

Hi Andi,
I had the official German T-Mobile Rom Upgrade AKU 3.3 before.
I just tried a hard reset, same as before.
I won't do the reflash, to much hassle, I'll live with that behaviour.
Cheers
Christian
Evening!
Just saw your post now...
The reflash isn't the hassle, it's the customziation afterwards
That's why I didn't try out the german version of touchflo until now.

The problem appeared today morning, while listening music using tcmp. the sound stopped suddenly, and standard animated cursor appeared over tcmp screen. i closed tcmp, and the rest of the system seemed fine, i was able to mute the phone and entered my work place. After a while i noticed the screen is off and i can not turn it on using pwr button, although green led kept blinking so the phone was operating. after a soft reset it would not go over splash screen showing IPL, SPL (which are: IPL: 1.06, SPL 1.06, GSM: 01.12.10, OS 1.6.2.4).
I've tried multiple times and still the same, only difference is that sometimes I can see the cursor and sometimes not. I can get to rgb screen and "press send to restore" as well, but that's it. I can't remember whether previously pressing a key illuminated a screen and keys, but now it doesn't. I used to have problems with screen not going black on idle since few days, but that's it. What could have happened? And if the only solution is hard reset, please tell me, could I somehow backup my contacts now? I don't have activesync here so I have to wait till I finish my work to find out..
please help anyone...
rom version : 1.6.2.4 WWE,
date : 11/15/05
radio : 01.12.10
protocol : 4.0.13.23
extrom : 1.6.2.105
That's spooky. My MDA has the same versions of IPL, SPL, GSM and OS, and this morning started misbehaving.
What's this rgb screen you can get to with the "press send to restore" option?
How do I do a hard reset (I have a backup on SD) without being able to get to the Start>Settings>System>Clear storage control panel option?
Rgb screen is a bootloader which i enter by holding cam+voicedial+commmanager butons while softreseting wizard. the other screen i mentioned i enter holding cam and voice buttons, and then pres reset. that screen says 'pres send to restore factory defaults any other key to quit' and it does hard reset if you press green button here...
my problem seems to be over for now, i managed to turn the phone on while i plugged it into a wall charger (believe me, the battery was not a problem - i don't know for how long it's ok now, but at least i made contacts backup now so that i'm ok with a hard reste if i have to...
You both have old roms and could do with upgrading them to aku2 roms. (your device will be more stable) i.e. the first number of the rom will be 2. Please dont ask me to go through how to flash a rom because there are hundreds of posts on the same topic and read the wiki - shortcut top left of the screen. You need to identify whether your device is g3 or g4 but i suspect you both have g3 chips.
Now read & read esp the wizard upgrading forum and wiki and then when you feel confident - flash your device.
mu chipset is g3 based on my ipl/spl info... i wouldn't dare to ask anyone to explain the process of flashing, i'm not that crazy. only thing i'd dare, would be to advice me what rom should i use... or a way to determine this, since i know it can't be just any rom...

Looking at your rom numbers i gather you have a t-mobile vario - is it uk or usa rom or polish - i see you live in poland.
there latest uk rom is here ftp://[email protected]/Wi...Prodigy_2210206_109_21911_TMO_UK_WWE_Ship.exe
us rom ftp://[email protected]/Wizard/Roms/Tmobile/RUU_Prodigy_2170702_217_20710_TMO_US.exe

Its prob best you sim unlock and cid unlock before you flash in case you change to a non-tmobile rom inc one of the cooked roms.
see here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=249474
and read dr puttingham's tutorial http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=285435
and now i have given you more than enough hints
p.s. by the way remember to write down your gprs settings and mms settings to use with your new rom.
thats right, its tmobile vario, uk one. it is sim unlocked, i'm not sure about cid but it should not be a problem. thanks for the hints, it really seems more then enough;] i'll probably have to use theese, as soon i have a spare evening...
you don't have to explain me the importance of gprs settings - forcing my wiz to work in uk's o2, then in polish plusgsm, then loosing settings and doing it again finally got me into a habbit of backing every settings up ;]
and last but not least, guys, yesterday i did my first HR ;] ...

Connect USB Cable. Go in the Boot Loader screen (Hold down camera button, power button and soft reset until the 3 colours display appear). Run Rom upgrade Software.

don't worry, your device isn't bricked as long as you can run it in bootloader
check in WIKI if you have G3 or G4 Prophet
I'm the exact same situation.
And wiki didn't help so far...
Take it easy and flash the ROM as described. Use any WM5 ROM compatible with your device, but preferrably one with no vendor ID. In case you cannot update normally use the RUU-No-Vendor-ID application found in the FTP.
As said above the device is not dead, it can be recovered.

Bear with me on the dumb questions
It looks like I managed to re-install
Thank you for your help. I installed the rom dezzer advised (post 7 of this thread) and it worked fine. Does that mean tha NOW i can flash smart1 1.3's?
Yep. Turn off the phone, make it sync with activesync and run UPDATE_ROM.bat.
Then cross your fingers Kidding. It will surely work. Remember to hard-reset after the upgrade.
If anything goes wrong just reflash WM5 and hard-reset. Always hard-reset after ANY OS upgrade.
I seldom activate MrTrueVGA. But tonight I did that for reading one PDF.
It leads me to hard reset the device right after a soft reset.
But the nightmare is ---
after hard reset, I press ACTION key to restore factory default as suggested. It takes few seconds to finish the default restore. Then I was asked to press POWER KEY to boot.
the device doesn't boot at all. just go back to the previous screen: 'Press ACTION to restore factory default or press Camera Key to exit'
If I press Camera Key, it just simply refresh the screen.
Seems the AMEO has entered an endless loop...
I have to try resetting the device in different way...
Now I mange to get the a dark screen as well as the ACTION key with Green light on.
any idea what mode is it (green light)?
Seems the OS couldn't startup after restoring factory setting. I guess I have to put the origin ROM back to the device instead of the updated WM6.
Continues tomorrow...
I've used it on my Athena with WM6 without a problem. Maybe something else is going on.
Is that an official release of WM6 for your device? I have no problem with MvRTrueVGA what so ever....
Have you tried flashing your device again?
I got my Ameo into a very similar loop. I took the battery out for a few minutes, then when re-inserted, I was able to "see" the Ameo from Sync Centre and re-flash the ROM...
Monocube SafeMode2 saved my butt various time with truevga..
the WM6 is download from here (t mobile version). I am looking for a way to flash back origin version.
BTW, other softwares I run after starup: USB mousr driver, WM5storage.
Sounds like the OS got killed. reflash the device
Thanks Olipro, I am a bit regret that if I had run your hard-SPL, probably i wouldn't experienced this problem.
The symptom do like OS got kill for some reason. I am wondering anyone had tried to hard reset after flashing WM6 ROM?
more update will come...
update:
reflashing ROM image solves the problem.
but i still believe MrTrueVGA caused the problem. Somehow it causes the conflict and blow up the OS.
I use MvRTrueVGA on WM5 and WM6 on my Ameo without problems.
(only smaller graphical bugs)
even changing the resolution never took me more than one soft reset
forget to mention, i use another software "scree orientation" at the same time.
maybe these two chaps don't work well together.
Hi,
For the last month I noticed that Left softkey (Phone softkey) is freezing.. Now this is becoming more often. The only solution I found is when it freezes to press windows start button at the top left corner and then the phone is working normaly again. At the moment I press left softkey and it freezes, I see that background for that button drops in (the animation works). Then, to un-freeze it, I press verry gently with stylus windows start button.. The rom upgrade didnt work, so I dont know if this is hardware or software bug ???
Any idea ??

It sounds like a firmware issue, especially since you had attempted to upgrade the ROM version and failed to do so. Have you tried performing a hard reset? This will restore the phone back to default factory settings and should resolve this problem.
I would strongly advise you to first backup your data (Contacts, Emails, SMS, etc) using PIMBackup.
To perform a hard reset, please try the following:
(1) With the device turned off, press and hold the VOLUME UP and VOLUME DOWN buttons, then briefly press the POWER button.
(2) Continue pressing the VOLUME UP and VOLUME DOWN buttons until you see this message on the screen:
Warning! Your device will be set back to factory default settings. Please ensure any additional installed programs and/or user data have been backed up before a hard reset is performed.
(3) Release the VOLUME UP and VOLUME DOWN buttons, press the VOLUME UP button to perform the hard reset.
Regards.
p.s. if you would like some detailed information on how to unlock your phone to upgrade to another ROM version, such as a custom ROM, then please carefully read the following guide.

Hi again,
Thanks for your replay. I succeded with ROM upgrade. The problem appeared while I was using previous ROM version (some clean WWE) and then I flashed to custom ROM few days ago thinking that I had a lot of programes instaled on previos ROM and if I install a clean ROM problem will dissapear.. Now I see I was wrong.. I dont realy get it.
I was following the guide from your post while I was upgrading the ROM I have now. And when I did, I did hard reset..
Good thing is that I found the temporary solution how to unbug it (by pressing start button) otherwise I would be verry pissed of as I dont have warranty
Did enyone experienced same problem ?

wow , thanks for guide me.
as your experiences , this work would be harmful for the device ?
thankx
It's not harmful - basically it totally wipes the device removing everything (including garbage). So you will, of course, need to flash a ROM afterwards.
