I just got back from Dubai this morning, and I recieved my first call from the plane. Fine, it worked.... but then...
disaster struck!
The phone has the "no signal" message when I click on the reception icon. I've tried to click the "turn phone off" button but nothing works...
I can't get into the phone settings in the start menu to change networks...
I'm trying to back-up to SD to do a hard reset, but the phone re-boots itself every 4 minutes! The device is also very slow in responding to the commands. E.G. when I place my phone code it takes 3 seconds just to type in the number... strange! I have 48 / 64 MB free in memory and a 256 MB SD card...
I can't connect to activesync because the decive is not being recognized. So I can't transfer anything through the USB... it's gotta be some kind of manual un-locking from the phone itself...
I took out the sim card and am using a crappy nokia until I get this deal fixed.
I searched the forum for possible solutions and some came close, but none popped the cherry...
Have any of you experienced this specific situation? Is there anything I can do to recover my data before hard-reseting the Qtek? I made about 30 new contacts on the recent trip and was going to sync when I got home from the airport... but the 1010 keeps passing out on me!! It's like giving a date a full bottle of Crystal Champange before hitting the bedroom... Sucks!
All my appoinments are on the phone for tomorrow.. it's 2:11AM if anyone can get back soon with instructions or any previous posting, please let me know.. E-mail me... SOMEBODY SAVE MY SOUL!!
HELP!
sorry to hear about ur problem, must be awful
I dunno if any one can save ur soul, but if worst comes to worst, Ill buy ur soul off of u, just gimmie a good price
thanx, an good luck
Does the phone reboot even if plugged into the power? Also have you tried a soft reset with the sd card removed?
try also to remove the SIM or try another one. some of them are faulty.
I had a similar but less traumactic problem in the phone part wouldn't work at all. Turned out that error messages can be saved on the sim card and block functions. Removing and re inserting the sim is enough to clear the block in my case.
Good luck.

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.
same problem here

imate jasjar with qtek 9000 rom
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 have tried looking on the forums for these problems, and the only thing that comes up is an issue from like 3 years ago with a different phone.
I think this issue is different than the early post because I don't really use a blue tooth headset with my phone. I just plug it into my car audio, and the voice/music goes through the car speakers. With that said, Every time I boot up my phone, a prompt comes up saying that voicecommand needs to end because I am low on memory. I am running the stock ROM and haven't flashed anything yet (really nervous about it) but one thing I have done is add a file to the StarUp folder in the windows directory. The program is a colored battery gage to let me know where the battery life is at. However, I can't uninstall it for some reason, probably because the file is in use. But when I go to the task manager, the program isn't even listed!!!
Also, earlier today, the touch screen when the phone dialer was completely not working. The only way I could end calls was to push the hang-up button at the bottom of the phone. I couldn't mute the call, nor put it on speaker phone. I was thinking that these two issues were related. I am really getting sick of this phone and have already put my SIM card back into my iphone.
Lastly, on my iphone, blackberry, and G1 I had numbers listed in the 123.456.7890 format and could text just fine. But on the HD2, when i try to text those numbers (its all jumbled, really, some i entered in as (123) 456-7890, and others the first), the text wont send because it returns an "Invalid Number" or something.
Any feedback I thank in advance and please don't hate me if these problems have already been addressed in early posts.
ive got the same message on bootup as you have. i read somewhere it may have something to do with having low memory on the sim card or having an old sim card. not sure about the number problem but i would be interested to know exactly whats causing the low memory message also. ive had stock, energy, and cell ROMs and all had this message. so i think it has something to do with the sim card and not the ROMs or apps installed. by the way this Cell rom is the shiitt! my favorite by far, just FYI for anyone looking for a baller rom.

I suspect that at least 2, if not all 3, of your issues could be cleared up by getting tmo to get you a newer sim card. They should do it for free.
OH thats easy enough! I have like 2 of them lying around from various phones I have had. I will try that out later today Tho it has been a while since i had contacts on my sim card. I have used google sync for years now, and have been rather pleased, except for some reason, using google sync puts my contacts onto the HD2 as Last Name, First Name automatically. And when I try switching them around, as soon as it gets synced again, it goes back the same way. But otherwise, I like it!

Well...I don't know if the problem(s) will be solved just by using a different sim card, I was suggesting you get a new one from Tmo...there's a newer revision of SIM cards available that might alleviate some of your issues, it's at least worth starting there. Just walk into any tmo store, tell them that you called tech support and were told to come in and get a new sim. (I'm assuming that when you got the HD2, you just kept using the same sim you had had before)

I actually bought my HD2 from someone that had already bought theirs and didn't like it. She had it for 2 weeks then sold it to me for cheap. She never used the SIM card that came with the phone, so I would imagine that that sim card is a new one. And yes, I used the same sim card I have had for the past 4 years or so. The last time I got a new sim card, it cost me 20 bucks. I don't think the T-mobile store just gives them out.

So...the sim in the HD2 that's giving you issues is the one that the girl got when she bought the phone, or the one you've been using for 4 years? If it's the latter, then yes, you need a new one. Tmo will charge you $20 if you just say you'd like to have a new one, but I've gotten 2 newer ones (one for me, one for daughter) just by walking in and telling the store that customer service instructed me to come in and get one to troubleshoot an issue with my phone...no charge.

The only sim card I have used on the HD2 is the one I have had for 4 years. The sim card that came with the HD2 hasn't ever been used. I think the girl used her own sim card before that. But she switched to AT&T anyway to get an iPhone, so she is probably enjoying life.
How often should I get a new sim card?

It's not something you need to do very often, it's just that a better version was released a while ago (like a year or two ago), and it's known to work better especially in smartphones.
And...if you have in your possession the unused card that came with the HD2, that would work fine, and Tmo can't even try to charge you for a new one...just tell them you need to have the newer one flashed to your number, and that should do it.
UPDATE: I don't think its a SIM card issue. My sim card isn't even in the device and every time I reboot it the same error comes up. WORST PHONE EVER (and I really liked my TMO MDA. Aside from a few strange glitches, it never had a problem!)

Can you give a link to that batt meter you installed and can't uninstall? I'm going to try it to see if 1) I get any odd behavior, and 2) I can find a way for you to uninstall it.
Sorry, I also forgot to mention that I was able to successfully shut the program down and move it out of the windows startup folder. Turns out, all I had to do was tap the file, and it turned off. Then I powered the phone off and turned it back on. I went back into the folder, cut the program out of the startup folder and moved it somewhere else. Then I was able to delete it. Even after doing this, the voicecmd.exe error prompt comes up. But the battery gage is pretty cool still...
These problems really started occurring after I had put music onto the memory card. And when I check the memory in the settings tab, I still have plenty of free memory. I even toggled between turning off HTC sense and selecting the different menus and the voicecmd.exe prompt comes up. So it could be because of the large files I have put onto my memory card, which just goes to show that either the card is faulty, or the card driver/reader is faulty?

Quite possibly, yes...the SD card that was shipped with these phones is the suspect in a large number of issues people have experienced. Have you tried running with a different card, or no card at all? Some people who found that removing the card cleared up their issues also found that copying all your stuff off the card, then reformatting it and putting it back in the phone works too.
I just copied the stuff off the card, formated it, and reinstalled the music and such. Pretty much the same thing happened. I even did a hard reset on the phone. I guess its the card.

Did you use the phone for a while with no card at all in it? I just want to make sure we've clearly eliminated all possibilities
I had the voice command problem- if you go to settings->all settings->personal->buttons and change the default for send key from voice command to ok/close, it stops coming up.
I used the phone for a while without putting music onto the memory card. But I have always had the stock memory card in it. This really started happening as soon as I loaded music onto it. I had a few files on it like the bsb tweaks and other mods. But nothing big. What is interesting is that I found a 8 gig micro sdhc lying around and put that in. It has a bunch of pictures and files from school when I had my bb last summer. When I try opening some of the pictures, a new prompt comes up saying "A problem has occurred with HTCPhotoPicker.exe..." and the picture viewer terminates. What the eff is wrong with my phone???
So i think its most definitely something to do with the memory card. When I take it out, it doesn't have a problem. When I put it back in, thats when it acts up. And I even tried deleting all my music from the card then putting it back on, and it still occurs. I emailed HTC about it. Hopefully, I actually get a response.
hello, yesterday a friend give me his old tmobile g1. today when i power it on i went to setting to tunr on the wifi. but it does nt :'( aftes 5-6 secs it says unable to turn wifi on.
then i put a 1gb micro sd card in the slot, and the phone doesnt recognise it. it was like i hadnt put ever a sd card.
please i want your help/ what can i do to fix it?
it has android 1.6
thanks for your help!!!
(sorry, for my english )
if it was given to me this is what i'd try ...
go here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=727688&highlight=root
with this you have two options
1. if you want a good stable 1.6? do steps up until INSTALL CYANOGENMOD 6
2. you want more options and can put up with a SOME lag ... do it ALL!
either one MIGHT fix your problem
i cant do that, because i tryed 2-3 sd card, and the ohine didnt recognize none of them...
This happened to my G1 as well, and if yours is anything like mine, then you can kiss wi-fi and microsd reading goodbye because they're gone. I took my whole phone apart and double checked everything and I can't find a reason. But here's a tip: When mine first stopped working I tried squeezing the bottom left of the phone (Or using an oversized paperclip to do it for me) and it worked for the most part (although it would often annoyingly press the call button) but it eventually completely stopped working. Good Luck. Hopefully it's not too late.
Hi,
I installed WP7 on my HD2 a couple of months ago and all has been going well (except for the reboot issue which is a known SD card problem!!). However since yesterday I have been unable to access any of the contacts on my phone.
When on the home screen, if I select the "people" widget I get a blank screen for a second then it returns me to the home screen. If I try to send a message and type in the persons name in my contact list, no matches are displayed in the To bar. I have tried different ways to access my people contacts but it always returns me to the home screen?!?!
The annoying thing is I know my contacts are still on the phone. When I get a phone call/text message it displays my contacts name on the screen?!?!
Has anyone ever come across this error before and if so how do i get around it???
Cheers,
Colin
I am having this same issue as well. This is my second time having this problem. First time I managed to fix it by pulling everything out of my phone and reinserting them (sd, SIM, battery). Now everything I try doesn't seem to work either. I might just have to re-flash.
its probably worth reflashing, try using a different SD card or for a quick test reflash without the SD card, you wont be able to install much and it will be slow but it will give you an idea if its the SD or not
Man! you should not open people. It hurts them.
