XDA Orbit Freezes on Reset

[Nexim]

Hi all,

I recently received an O2 XDA Orbit. The Orbit works fine, except that sometimes on doing a soft reset it will hang at the green "Windows Mobile 5.0" welcome screen.

I have left it for periods of time in excess of 30 minutes, and eventually the XDA becomes completely unresponsive (backlight doesn't come on when pressing buttons etc). On doing a consecutive reset, it does exactly the same thing. The only way to resolve it is to do a complete hard reset.

This initially happened when using Sprite Backup. Before doing a backup the program resets the device, and this exact same thing happened. I thought it would be to do with the software, however i have not installed Sprite since but i am getting the same symptoms.

A relative of mine got an Orbit at the same time and hers is having the same problems, yet another relative received one a few months before and his is fine.

I was wondering if anyone else is having this problem, or if anyone can suggest a remedy for it?

I got my orbit too recently but it did not freeze at startup but a white screen flashed up for a few secs. I did a hard reset and then before the o2 extras get installed - a\3 sec countdown will appear on the screen do a quick softreset - stylus in the soft reset hole.
I reckon that will solve your problem as its prob due to the o2 extras.

Was it plugged in when it hung?

It happens both when it is plugged in to my laptop, and when it isn't connected to anything at all.
