I have the exact ame problem on my Kaiser, altough it isn't a replacement from O2. If it wasn't fro teh fact I don't have a spare, I'd send it in. I would be really appreciative to hear what your problem is KC, as it does seem to be the same as mine.

I'm having the exact same issue. If anyone has an idea I'd be interested to know what is wrong. I'm on O2 if that helps.

I'm having some serious issues with my XDA Stellar at the moment. It keeps on dropping the signal, whether it be GSM, EDGE, or HSDPA, it drops everything. It can go hours without any signal, then get full signal for about 30 seconds, then nothing. It's constantly searching for a signal, so speakers go crazy all the time, and the battery life is shocking. the other night it went from 90% to 10% overnight. I've got the stcok HTC Windows Mobile 6.1 ROM. I thought that might be the issue, but it has done the same with the new O2 6.1 ROM as well.

Now for the strange bits. This problem only seems to be evident when I'm at home. It seems to have no problems anywhere esle, and that includes inside other buildings. I would appreciate it if it was a dead spot, but it's a relatively new problem, and my wife is also on O2 and has no problems at all.

Does anybody have any ideas, it's really bugging me.

Is anybody else experiencing problems with the buttons on their Graphite? The '2' button has to be pressed so firmly I think I'm going to crack the phone. The back button isn't much better. Am I the only one that has this issue, and is there a way to sort it?

I have to say I've been really dissapointed with this phone. I'll be glad when I can upgrade and get a Stellar.

I'm having that problem too. Strangley enough, the window that tells you your number is invalid has a HTC web address. Which is strange as HTC don't make the graphite.

I'm having the same problem, but it seems to be affecting the '2' button more. Very annoying.

The battery issues seem to have sorted themselves out. I used to have a period where battery life would drop, but I'm not getting 2-3 days with only a 50% reduction in battery life.

I was thinking that something is causing the phone to create the interference. If whatever it is is quite power intensive, then that would explain it. Maybe.

Sorry, I didn't get make myself clear there did I? I meant my PC monitor. You know when you leave your phone next to your PC and the PC's moniter flickers when you're about to receive a call or a text. That's what I was trying, badly, to describe. It's almost as if the phone is trying to get a signal, but constantly doing it for about an hour or so. I leave in an area with 3G, but work in an area without it. Would this be an issue?

I don't know if this is a solution, but it is coincidental.

In the main I haven't had too much of a problem with the battery life on my Graphite, but every now and again I do notice a sharp drop. Today was one of those days. The time in whcih the drop occured also appeared to be a time where my phone was doing a lot but without me doing anything. Basically, the moniter at work was flickering like crazy, in true incoming call style. This lasted quite a while. Before it happened I had a 100% charge, according to BatteryLife about 240hrs , afterwards I'm down to 30%.

Am I putting 2 and 2 together and getting 5? Or could this be the problem?

I've got a 3rd party plugin I'd like to use.would I go about putting it into the XML?

O2 have now got it on there standard phone pages. See here.

I've had my Mini S for about 14 months now, and not had any real problems, until recently.

For some reason, it keeps dropping it's connection to the O2 network, and won't get it back until I do a soft reset. I've tried switching flight mode on and off, as that seems to cut the signal, but no joy. I've also done a hard reset, but it's still doing it. It's getting really annoying now. Is it a problem with my SIM card? Or has anybody else had the same issue?

Hmmmm, tempting. I'll be keeping an eye out for that. Cheers

Pretty much what my Mini S has. Which is why I'm beginning to think about keeping it. I'd probably be prepared to sacrifice the Mini SD card for a Micro SD, it's just the keyboard issue. I'm unsure as to how easy it is to input text. I've had the usual issues with the stylus on the Mini S, so would like a system that isn't reliant on haveing a stylus.

I'm looking at getting the XDA Orbit when it comes out on O2, but I'm 'umming' and 'ahhing at the moment. I've got an XDA Mini S at the mo, and I've got so used to the slide out keyboard that I'm being put off the Orbit because it doesn't have one. How easy is to input text and stuff on the Orbit? Or should I just hang fire until O2 get something like the E-TEN Glofish M700?

Another factor is that I've recently stumped up for a 2gb Mini SD card for the Mini S, and would rather not have to buy another one.

Does anybody know how to edit the templates for SPB weather. I'd like to see if I can get the weather info from metcheck.com.

Probably, thats the nature of the electronics business. Never for something better as you'll always be waiting, and don't be surprised if your kit is out of date in 6 months. Although the C500 isstill a pretty useful handset. I was sad to see mine go.

I guess the next thing would be a WiFi enabled smart phone. Something along the lines of the C600 with built in WiFi. Some American firm have developed a dual core handset with two processors. coolsmartphone.com have a link to the story here, which look spretty nifty. Basically, keep an eye out for any news items from CES, that's where most of this years new gear is going to be previewed.

I've got the XDA mini S, and, suprise, surprise, I want rid of all the O2 gubbins. If I do a hard reset, will it automatically start to re-install the ROM. Also, do I just need to install the corporate version to get rid of all the O2 rubbish. Finally, can I expect anything to be radically different afterwards, compared to what i have now.

Cheers

Moby memeory are spot on. If you get their own branded card, you get a nifty little adaptor to turn your old miniSD card into a USB pen drive.

I'll do the hard reset tonight.

As for the stand-by that some of you seem to use. Is that when it asks to turn the phone off after x amount of minutes? Would you recommend using it? How quick does it boot up from stand-by?

Mine worked straight out of the box with my Orange sim. This may be an O2 thing as my other half got a Samsung mobile and she's also using her Orange card until her number ports over.

I got an XDA Mini S on O2 last week, and I'm finding the battery life to be very poor. As an example, I'm having to charge the phone every night. I unplug the phone at about 7am on 100% charge. It's now 11:20 and the battery level is at 61%. Stand-by time is supposed by pretty good. I've got WiFi, Bluetooth and IRDA all turned off and the back-light goes out after 30 seconds. I'm a bit stumped now.

Does anybody have any other ideas, or shall I go back to O2?

Also, how do you get rid of all the O2 software gubbins. I'll never use it, and it supposed to make the phone slow anyway?
