hello there to everybody on the xda-forums . Rob here from South Africa , I have been having a weird problem lately with my TYTN II , let me explain .
I purchased a tytn from a local dealership and the purchased a 2gig sd card from another supplier and then proceeded to use the memory card in the phone ( to store pricelists etc.) the problem I then got was that the phone started switching off , well not really switching off , but when you pressed the power button nothing would come on the screen although the green "standby" light was flashing . I would then have to do a soft reset everytime to start the phone up again , the weird part is , is that it doesn't do it frequently , sometime 3 times a day sometimes only every 3 days . Well to cut a lond story short , I have since been through 3 new phones from the supplier and thay were all doing the same thing hence me thinking that it can only be the sd card or the sim card , well since monday I have got a new phone , did a hard reset and have not used my sd card and guess what the phone has not "switched off"
My question is to fellow Forum members , has anybody else out there had similar problems ???

I have a qtek 9000 and an xda exec. Both have the same rom updates (latest o2). The qtek works as it should, but the o2 does not. I have re-flashed the rom twice. No software is installed, nor is bluetooth running. The phone works and connects to 3g etc. If I close the clamshell, about 1 hour later the phone is asleep and will not wake up. A reset must be done in order to turn it on. I have hard reset many times and cannot fix this problem No calls or messages have been received by the phone. The green phone light remains flashing in its deep sleep mode, but it is not possible to call the phone. It does not ring or wake up. Has anyone had this problem? I have searched this forum and read many posts concerning sms causing sleep problems etc., but can find nothing relating specifically to my problem. Thanks for any help.
sounds like it could be faulty.
never woken it up via a phone call, so I don't know about that, as I don't use it as a phone yet, waiting until the contract for the W800i ends at the end of this month before I start informing people of my new number. But I wake mine up via the power button. If that fails for you, then I would suggest speaking to the company you got it from, as it would suggest a fault.

verry annoying
Kaze, this problem is usually caused by having anything running on the Today screen or resident in memory that is installed on the Today screen. For instance, a application loader on the today screen with links to programs on the SD card can cause this type of freeze, as it tries to get the icons from the SD card but cant - crashing(?) WM5. Just keep anything related to the today screen or bootup etc on the phone's memory itself and your crashes should go away.
dont think so

That other thread you are posting in is back from October/November last year. Just taking out the SD card wont help, you need to disable the programs trying to access the SD card. Although your problem might be different - maybe somethings faulty with your SIM card then? Try a different SIM card and see if it still happens.
As I said in my initial post, there was nothing installed on the unit. There was no sd card, and it was in total factory default condition. The unit was returned as it was faulty. The new unit works as it should, with the same sim card etc.

I've had a new Qtek 9000 for about 3 weeks and it has had exactly this problem from day 1.
Looking at this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/viewtopic.php?t=32688 I thought it might be a SIM problem but it isn't. Done a load of tests and the final one - hard reset - no SIM - no SD card and the problem still occurs. It's on it's way back for repair / replacement.
Same problem here? Does anyone have the solution yet?
I'm sorry no - mine had to be sent back for reapir.
It's fine now.
First one I got had this problem from day one fresh from the box with nothing installed. I simply took it back to the shop and had them replace it as faulty. Second one has never shown this behaviour.
Dodgy batch/ component.
My advice is don't wait for a fix, it's a hardware fault, return it under warranty.
I recently purchased an I-mate JASJAR almost 2 weeks ago.I have rarely had to do soft resets(2 a day @ the most).Well i purchased a PNY SD 1gb card.I had a good amount of software on the card.This morning i wake up to the JASJAR asking me if i wanted to boot up in safe mode.I let the phone boot normally.I then attempted to connect the phone to the pc for active sync(newest version 4.1)nothing!!!Well alot of my applications that were stored on the card were showing me white blocks within the applications window.Then it tells me no card is inserted.I did the dreaded hard reset.The card is still not verified.Should i take the card back or what could cause this problem?Any help would be thankful.
Regards

This problem was fixed thanks to JORGEE who told me that i needed to re-format the card.All is well now
Hi,
This is my first post in this forum so I apologise if I am breaking any rules concerning repeating posts.
My problem is that I have a 2Gb mini SD card which appears to be very unreliable when used with the Vario. Sometimes I cannot get it to work at all. Well, sometimes I can get it to work .
However, when I insert it on an Axim PDA it works 100% of the times (through a mini-normal adapter).
I suspect that the problem may be with the Vario itself particularly the contacts mechanism. The reason I am saying this is that I can make it work sometimes by adding a bit of tape to the opposite side of the contacts in an attempt to make them press more against the Vario's ones. But this doesn't always cure the problem.
I am wondering whether anyone has any thoughts about this problem instead of just blaming the sd-card.
Cheers

I bought a 2GB card too that was acting weird with the MDA Vario. It was one from Transcend. Sometimes parts would be visible, sometimes the whole card was invisible. Returned it to the reseller, and asked for a Sandisk instead. Not the fastest card in the world, but at least it works. Not sure why the Transcend card wouldn't work though...
If you can, exchange the card for another.
I've had similar issues as the OP with my Kingston. It either shows up or doesn't. If it just refuses to show up, I can usually soft-boot to get it back. Often though, just reinserting it several times will eventually get it back online. Very odd problem though.
Thanks for your replies guys,
I think I am going to try a new card just for my piece of mind. But judging by the number of issues on mini-sd cards associated with the Vario I would say it is a phone issue rather then a card issue.
Is there a range of cards that don't seem to give problems with the Vario?
Cheers

there r many fakes around, many many...so they r not phone issues but different card problems...i use a 1gb nokia (not the best brand) that is working perfectly but i read somewhere that someone had problems with kingston (yea, kingston, mister memory in person, they make really good memorys) so i guess is a matter of luck and formating the card every now and then...i do it using wm5torage...
i had bought a 2gig Topram off ebay about 5-6 months ago, has worked flawlessly, had a 1gig topram before that, never had issues with either
Hi,
It appears that the best thing to do is to put a little bit of tape on the card (on the side opposite to the contacts).
Doing this seems to increase the number of times the card works.
I am now using 2 layers. I am wondering whether I am loosening the contacts and will, as a result, need to add more layers in the future.
Dodgy.....

Howdy,
Xda rocks! Top of the line situation!
The mini worked fine for a few weeks!
Than after installing some cab yesterday the 8125 locked up and locked up until I removed the sd card!
I cant locate the cab that did it, if that was the real problem anyway?
So with NO sd card the 8125 is about useless, except for a phone!
Great phone, but the pda has no storage now!
I sync and no problem, until I install the card than "FREEZE solid" and I have to eject the card, soft reset and good to go in the limited way!
Could someone help before I sling the thing!
Thanks very much!
Just added. . .. .. . ... . ... .. .. . ..
I did the deadly HARD reset and the card works now!
I didn't want to do that!
Cause I didn't have a backup but the thing is brand new so I didn't loose much!
Later
hello all,
last week I bought the samsung focus from the US. (i am from Austria by the way..) and the first 3 days were absolute great and I was happy about my new samsung. but on the 4th day the phone shut down all the time, I cant stop it.
now when I start the phone I can only see "Samsung" and dark colour. this picture belongs to hours and hours. nothing happens.
I don't know what I can do, I have already tried it with the "hard reset" and a "micro SD" because I have heared that this 2 options can help.
But it doesnt work
Can anybody help me with this problem?
or knows anybody when there will be a new update?
I am going crazy because of this situation....
thanks for all your help!

Did you have a microSD card installed in the phone before the phone started rebooting?
Tussi1 - it's me again.. forgotten the password...
thanks for your comment!!
When I get the phone without microSD and I have started it without it. and everything works well the first 2-3 days.
I bought the mircoSD when I saw that I can't start the phone anymore. Because I read a lot that such a microSD can help when you this problem with samsung focus. I bought 2 different types (different GB's) but nothing works.
It was a 4 GB sanDisk and a 8 GB kingstonDisk. Both doesn't work!
As I already wrote there is only the SAMSUNG design on the dark display...
do you think I need a other microSD for rebooting it?
thanks!!!

At this point I would just take it back and exchange it. Sounds like more work than it's worth dealing with.
Did you format the SD card?
I realize you can't get past the boot screen currently but WP7 is notorious for SD card incompatibility.
Also, have you attempted to boot the phone while connected to a PC?
If these attempts fail, a return may be your only option but how feasible is it to return a phone to the US from Austria?
I believe you need to remove the SD Cards and do a complete reformat. I ran into the same issue after using an incompatible SD Card. Pull the Card, Turn OFF the phone by holding Power Button when NOT connected to power. Hold down Volume Down, Power button, and Camera button whilst the phone is off. That will make it turn on and ask if you want to format.
I believe that was it. Anyone know different?
Hello XDA Members,
I have Asus Zenfone Max Pro M1 ( Unrooted 6GB) bought 3 - 4 months ago ,
i was using it yesterday afternoon , after couple of hours i thought to Put phone on charge it was 36% , But when i pickup my phone it was restarting . i was confused , when booted up after 2 mins use then restarted again , i noticed little bit lag becasue i was googling the possible reason of unexpected Reboot.
then it kept restarting after every 4 to 5 mins of use , i thought its the button so i open the case but everything looked fine . then it started to reboot right after bootup , i thought its a virus , i was able to wipe data and reset 2 times , but still same rebooting issue , now i carefully checked my phone buttons , everything like new , and i take care of my phone very well . I AM VERY SURE BUTTONS ARE FINE , but phone is behaving like power button is being pressed whole time .
things got worse i woke up midnight i looked at my phone still stuck on restart continuously, and next reboot it booted up for couple of secs and showed me pattren lock but called emergency number ( Emergency Call Button Under Pattren) , i was not able to cut the call but i keep trying then again re boot , i didnt sleep because of this phone vibrating rebooting and sometimes calling EMERGENCY service even when i removed sim and SD card , i can't remove battery so i let it keep rebooting, now battery died .
guys i am sorry for this long description but i am in big problem and stress . i am youtube lover and some social media , games like pubg sometimes . my phones is rebooting even if i go Boot Menu , after many tries i was able to reset once , but same issue ,

Goto Service center
Sounds like power button contacts have shorted out somehow, though very less likely. Better go to a service centre instead of wrecking your brain over something which you probably can't fix.

I'm not too sure about what exactly had happened to your phone. I can't say much if I don't see it myself. This is a very uncommon and peculiar problem because modern phones are less vulnerable to viruses. So it might just be a fault unit which you have received.

try to get a replacement. Since you said you bought this phone 4 months ago you might not be able to exchange it. Other option is getting it fixed at an asus service centre and they may do it for free because it's still under warranty.
