T-Mobile MDA Compact prob when receiving calls?

[thekeogh]

Hello,

I have a T-Mobile MDA Compact (UK) that I got several months ago. The details of the device are:

ROM Version: 1.01.00 WWE
ROM Date: 10/21/04
Radio Version: 1.00.10
Protocol Version: 1337.36
ExtROM Version: 1.01.128 WWE

Firstly I havent; installed ANY software on this, apart from whats already on it and I have given it a hard reset (re-installed everything) once and the problem

still occurs.

=== THE PROBLEM =========
This doesn;t happen everytime I receive a call, but it happens often enough to become very annoying.

If I receive a call from someone at a certain point and then after the conversation I press the red hang up button the phone screen loses its little "X" in the

top right of the screen. This then prevents me from leaving the phone call screen.

Press the red hang up button again or holding it down doesn;t return me to the today screen neither, Ive tried pressing every combo of buttons the the thing and

it stays on that screen.

To fix it I have to do a soft reset and reboot the damn phone, which is annoying.

It was happening a lot before I done the hard reset, after I reset it didn't happen for a while so I thought it was fixed, but its started doing again now... and

doing it too often for my liking now.

The only thing I have done is install a new theme... could it have anything to do with that? If not what could it be?

T-Mobile UK havent released an update for the MDA Compact yet, but there is one on the german T-Mobile site... but I dont want to risk installing that... or could

I?

Any help you can give will be appreciated.

Thanks

I've seen a number of probs with different Compacts but never heard of that one before. It's not something I've experienced on my own one either, which leads me to think it may be a fault on your handset. I have something similar when I use my camera occasionally but I put that down to mucking around with software updates, but if you haven't changed anything I'd go with a fault. It can go for repair under warranty, which means they'll probably do a complete software upgrade or exchange the unit, so make sure all your important stuff is backed up before you do.

I tend to agree with the Bulletman. I had the exact same problem with 2 brand new xda IIi's and returned them (o2 not happy!). i did however find that when I installed SPB pocket plus 3.0 , which does shut down the phone dialler/application properly, that that problem was resolved.
Still I concur that it's most likely a hardware issue as I still had poor reception, poor call quality and consequently lost calls! Get it repaired or replaced if you can. My current MDA Compact never does this and it has all the original Rom and software on it, but works flawlessly, hence I've never upgraded.

If it ain't broke why fix it?
