Guest geezer466 Posted March 5, 2003 Report Posted March 5, 2003 My spv seems to have done a hard reset all by itself. Am sure it was fine last night when I turned it off and placed it in its cradle for charging. Switched it on this morning put it in its case and set off for work Key Lock was engaged. After a couple of hours took it out and first noticed the home screen colour scheme had changed. I changed it back to where it was and it still didn't go to where I wanted it. It then started ringing and it was not my usually selected ring tone.I successfully reset that. I then noticed it would not run any uncertified software on the phone coming up with a 'not digitally signed' error altough I successfully unlocked it over a Month ago first time and with no interim problems at all. If it had managed to hard reset itself without any input from me would all my software contacts and personalized start menu remain intact? Could Orange be covertly issuing an update to re-certify the phone? All very wierd. Am off to examine the relevant xml files through active synch.
Guest geezer466 Posted March 5, 2003 Report Posted March 5, 2003 Have just checked the mxip_oem_10.provxml file and its values have definatly reverted back. This is very worrying as I have definately not conducted a hard reset. Anyone know of any other way this could have happened?
Guest Chris b.a.r.f. Posted March 5, 2003 Report Posted March 5, 2003 It's another case of the phantom-½-hard-reset. It happens, and has happened to me twice. There's been a few similar reports in microsoft.public.smartphone, too. Anyone have any ideas why this happens occasionally?
Guest fraser Posted March 5, 2003 Report Posted March 5, 2003 It's been suggested that it's the auto-repair function in IPSM or the registry. If something becomes corrupted, then it will be restored from ROM. Makes perfect sense, corruption could happen due to crashing programs or lockups. Remember, if a process dies while writing to a file, that file is usually junk.
Guest Blood.DK Posted March 5, 2003 Report Posted March 5, 2003 It happend to me too, but only ones. Still it was bad as I had to install all over again. Blood.dk

Remember, if a process dies while writing to a file, that file is usually junk. OK, a good point. But mine's just done these ½-resets out of the blue. Last time it happened, I'd not farted about with the phone in any way for weeks, no unususal power-downs or anything. If the registry gets so easily corrupted then that must be something that needs looking at by HTC/MS....
Guest Syvwlch Posted March 6, 2003 Report Posted March 6, 2003 I got a scare the other day when the phone started refusing to run uncertified apps. One reboot later, it was back to being de-certified... This was after killing a locked-up app with Task Manager... so I'd definitely done something a bit brutal, but the weird thing is that it was only temporary. Anyone seen this sort of behaviour before?

It shocked me as my phone was having a bit of trouble at the time (probably why it half-hard-resetted). Wyatt
Guest Posted March 7, 2003 Report Posted March 7, 2003 It's just happened to me, I'm not happy! I wonder if it's because I removed some shortcuts from the ipsm/windows/start menu and moved others into a different directory. My contacts, favorites, software, even the extra folders I created in the start menu etc. have all remained but my settings and most importantly my decertification haven't. Very frustrating. And to top it off, my simcard still thinks it's German (I posted something about this a couple of months ago) so after the 1/2 hard reset, the phone restarted itself in German. Does anyone have any idea how to solve this? I've called Orange and rather than just replace it, I've been referred to Technical Support. All seems like a bit of an ordeal for something that can't be worth more than a couple of quid.
Guest MISMan Posted March 7, 2003 Report Posted March 7, 2003 I wonder if Orange is doing something to cause this behavior to "reinitialize" the phones. I have had mine on T-Mobile here in the US and no problems.
Guest Rog Posted March 7, 2003 Report Posted March 7, 2003 Antlane do you have another 'phone to try your sim in? I put my new (spv approved) sim in my old nokia 'phone and it was german! After the uk update my spv defaulted to german too. See your original post here!: http://www.modaco.com/viewtopic...ighlight=german

More like we're all running uncertified alpha/beta software that's part-frying our SPV's ROMs :roll:
