didnt get you ?. you mean is it due to some bug in WM5 for BA ?
or
My procedure ?

I had the same problem on my first time upgraded WM5 on my BA.
Howver, I found out my problem was on Wiki
http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=BA_5.1.1700_build_14343_Upgrade
Step 11
You'll see three options; change the second and the third to "yes".
If you have a PH20B device such as MDAIII, QTEK 9090, XDAIIs, PDA2K etc.
You can do that with the camera and the record buttons.

This step is important, and if by any chance you missed this step, just do that instructions and change 2nd and 3rd option to yes and apply all the pathes from
http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=BA_WM5_Patches_ChangeLog
Well it worked for me, I hope it helped to solve your problem.
Sorry if my english terrible.

Hi,
I make sured, the second and third are set to Yes, and after that press mail button.
to be sure, i just reflashed again, still same problem. Phone Funciton, is really slow, and cant even show ringing, when a call is coming
any help?

After installing WM5, your machine will be really slow. You need to apply the patches that are found at http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=BA_WM5_Patches_ChangeLog
A few tips for you:
Before applying the patches, make sure you disable ALL sounds, including the ringer on the phone (set it to vibrate) and keypad tones. Also make sure you disable Error Reporting, as stated.
After applying each patch make sure you power down the device, wait about 30 seconds, power the device on again and then do a soft reset to make sure that the registry changes take. This applies to any registry change on WM5, even in the future.
After all the patches have been applied, you should be able to switch sounds back on as you like and the device will be much faster.
One final tip: I've always used PocketPlus on my device in the past but I found that it really slows my phone down, especially on WM5 so I've had to uninstall it. I'm now running iLauncher instead, and although I prefer PocketPlus for functionality, the speed increase that I get with iLauncher seals the deal for me.

Strange, I am using the helemi_C rom but I havn't experience any problem like this. May be you need to reflash the rom again with all fixes available. [/list]
I flash this ROM this morning and face this problem in the afternoon one time.
I have had this thing in my Himalaya with WM5 ROM a long time ago.
Don't know why.
Did U hard reset and clear all the previous registries?
Yes , surely.
with options No,Yes,Yes.
don't know if it can help but I had the very same problem with different roms. after some tests I discovered that this was due to the joypad at the bottom, the 'down' key made contact and was, in a way I don't know, kind of overriding the pression of any key, power included.
cleaning the contacts worked perfectly for me.

Same problem with Qtek9090 flashed with IvanV4R3_RAMDisk32_1
Hi guys,
In fact, I'm having the same problem after having flashed my Qtek9090 with IvanV4R3_RAMDisk32_1.11. (When the device is turned off (standby mode) for more than 5 minutes, it's impossible to turn it back on - only reset helps. While that state, when somebody rings my phone, they get "engaged" signal as though I'm talking on the phone. When you put the device into cradle - the computer indicates that there is a new device with some installing errors...)
Now, I've noticed one thing: there is a localization software from Paragon (LEng - Russian language pack for Pocket PC) - after having disabled that software, the device works well and comes back from the standby mode easily. Perhaps, that deals with some bugs in the localization software.
I guess you all have some localization soft on your BA (Arabic, Chinese, etc.) - try and disable it - let's see if that helps...
No i dont have any language pack on my PPC.
Using helmi 1.3 and this is what i have currently installed
E-TEN m600 Blue Dualer Skin
IdosPPC - (train schedule )
Resco Explorer
Resco Today Plugin
Resco Keyboard Pro
Helmi 1.3 NET missing FIle
SpbAirlands
Microsoft .NET CF 2.0 ENU-String
Socket Wi-Fi Companion
SpaceTime Mobile 2.0
Gray is right. I have tried 2 Chinese Localisation softwares, namely Monster Chinese V5.3 and CE-Star V2.8R2 and they both hanged the machine, especially before dawn, usually with the red LED flashing but BA hanged. Well yes, I am using the stupid MS Auto-Push on my BA! (Pocket Outlook is the least stupid email client available at the moment, FlexMail still needs much works to integrate with the WM5 interface) I have tried to disable MS Auto-Push while running Monster Chinese V5.3 and tested for 3 full days without hanging.
When I resumed the MS Auto-Push, the machine hanged again.
Interim findings:-
1. My BA hangs when running both Chinese localisation software and MS Push.
2. My BA seems to work OK when running Chinese localisation but not MS Push.
3. My BA seems to work OK when running MS Push but not Chinese localisation.
I guessed Notification of Email feature may have caused the hanging problem, I'll try to reduce the red LED flash duration from UNLIMITED to say 15 minutes. Will report my findings in due course.
In fact, I've installed an update for the language pack (LEng build 7928) and the problem disappeared.
So, I guess, you need to check if there is any buggy software on your PPC. ...Although the issue may be much deeper...
Good luck!

Dpad dead

Hi all.
I´ve installed the Custom 2.26 ROM (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=276700) and it works great except for one tiiny detail. The Dpad doesnt work anymore. Its completely dead. I suspect that this could be related to smartskey. What happend is that after I turned off the phone and turned it on again the Dpad was dead.
I have tried to alter the smartskey.ini file and set the DPAD value to 0 but it didnt do anything. When I run smartskey.exe all I get is an popup asking me if I want to close smartskey. Whats that about? How does it work?
Does anyone have a clue what could be wrong and/or how to solve it?
Thanks
/dodgy
anyone? pretty please? I don´t wanna flash it again....

i have never heard of this problem with smartskey. however, if you really do believe it's related to smartskey, you can close the program by following the steps:
1. click the smartskey.exe
2. a popup window will ask if you really want to close it. just click "ok".
3. then you must change STARTONREBOOT=0 in the ini file.
4. next, go to windows>startup folder and remove any shortcut refering to smartskey.
5. soft reset your phone. it will start witnout smartskey.
and you can confirm if the problem is really related to smartskey, although I really doubt it.
if the above fail, hard reset. if still fail, reflashing to your last known good rom file. if all fail..... you've got yourself a new dpad hardware.
I think your are right, it´s not smartskey. Reverted back to my old 2.17 Sve ROM and I now have to same problem, it was fine for a while but now I have the problem again. I have installed very few apps; TotalCommander, TCPMP, and some a2dp cabs.
I´m thinking if I could attack this problem from a different angle; to install something that remapps the Dpad and see if that works. I have a hunch that the Dpad is locked for some reason and not broken.
Another approach is to go in the registry and have a look but I really dont know where to look.
3rd option is to take it back to the manufactuer. I suspect they will discover that I messed with it (unlocked it, installed dodgy ROMS and such) and refuse me.
On a sidenote I got my Sony Ericson HBH-DS970 headphones today. Looks really nice. I think that someone said the sound quality improves with AKU so i´m eager to get some new ROM installed. Is it possbile to just install AKU upgrades? or are they always bundled with a ROM ?
Thanks alot for your reply ecchi, I´ve posted about this problem a few time and never got any response.

Touchscreen unresponsiveness - BRICK?

Okay, so to those of us who have problems with screen ignoring/being very slow with screen taps and/or buttons, read on.
I flashed ROMeOS ROM and started having problems where I would tap on something, and it would ignore it. I would keep tapping and tapping, but nothing happened. Sometimes, even hardware buttons were ignored, about 40% of the clicks. I never had that problem with Dutty's Diamond ROM or WM6 ROMs. Issue seems to be related to latest 6.1 builds... or so it seemed at the time.
After pulling out half of my hair, reflashing all kinds of ROMs, reflashing to latest HardSPL, etc etc... I almost threw my kaiser at the wall.
First I thought it's TouchFLO, then I thought that it's the latest 6.1 ROMs.. then I thought it's related to 3.56 HardSPL.. well eliminating those factors one by one DID NOT fix the problem. Right now I went 100% to stock ROM (one it came with) and AT&T's original SPL. I started having sound problems (w/e radio I tried did not work) so I flashed Hyperdragon Wm6.1 ROM.
About 90% of the problem is phone ignoring ANY kind of touchscreen taps/drags.
About 10% of the time its the hardware buttons that have the problem - for example I push "call" (or any other softkey) button, and nothing happens, while touchscreen could be working fine at that time. In about 10 seconds, hardware buttons would start working again.
Some information that was gathered from this thread and personal research:
It looks like problem is NOT related to the following:
- POWER. Connecting phone to AC power does not solve the problem. Subjectively, it may improve it a little.
- BLUETOOTH/WIFI. Problem persists with EVERYTHING disabled and phone being in Airplane mode.
- PARTICULAR 6.1 ROM. I had this problem on ANY 6.1 ROM I tested (and I tested all the way from AT&T almost-official WM6.1).. maybe that's why they didn't release it?
- OPERA browser. Some people never had Opera and they still have this problem (please confirm this!).
- SPB/WISBAR interface software. Although having Wisbar stuff does make it a lot worse for me.. and I still have the problem without SPB or WISBAR installed.
- S2U2 screen lock. Still had the problem w/o S2U2 installed.
- iGo 2006 or iGo 8. Many users with this problem never used iGo.
Problem MAY be related to the following (needs more research, please help):
- Original SPL versus HARDSPL 3.XX
- WM6.0 versus WM6.1 (I don't think I had any problems running original AT&T 6.0 ROM, but I did have sound (radio) problems, so had to flash 6.1). Several users report that WM6.0 is immune to this problem.
- A combination of running WM6.1 with latest HardSPL?
- Custom ROM VS Original ROM. Perhaps problem is in the tweaks to the registry.
- Simple things like overtime connection weakening in touchscreen connection to the mainboard. Whoever can open a Kaiser could try to replug/clean it and report back to us.
- Radio version. Should be easy to test, just need to reflash all kinds of older radios and see if problem persists.
Please make sure that you test your phone with some touchscreen intensive games/software a lot for AT LEAST 3-4 days. I had it happen several times where it would be fine after reflash for about a day or so, and then it would come back in full force.
BRICK?
In my case, running HTC WM6.0 ROM with HTC SPL DID NOT fix the problem, I can even say it made it worse. Touchscreen would respond to about 10% of the screen taps. Tap pressure doesn't make any difference.
Also, running AT&T stock shipped ROM with stock shipped radio and SPL did not fix it. I guess at this point, nothing will. Waiting for replacement tilt.
Hope nobody else will get it as bad as I did. All I can say is... make those relfashes count.
Hmm isn't Touch Flo one of the cool things with the Kaiser??? How do you navigate in programs now it's disabeled?

So if you have similar problems - try using Shnaps' Advanced Config to disable the TouchFLO altogether.
Another thing that I've used is PocketMechanic to clean up the notification queue. After fresh install of HypreDragon (latest as of Aug 5), I had 46 duplicate notifications. Removing those seemed to ease the problem, but NOT fix it. Disabling TouchFLO seemed to finally fix it.
I hope this helps somebody. I'll update this thread if I keep having this problem..

Never really caled for it, I use my hardware buttons (D-pad) to scroll, I find TouchFLO to be too unreliable... maybe it's just me, but nothing beats a hardware button which you actually "PUSH".

Do you have the same problem?
Hello,
First off thak you for the post. Ive got two identical Tilts both with the exact same radio/boot/roms. One has this issue and the other doesnt. I will be disabling it on the one havong the issue and report back! Thanks much!!!
I was also having this problem. my biggest complaint was my keyboard was all over the place. Sometimes it wouldnt see key strokes at all, other times one key hit would register as 3 or 4.
Sent a few test messages and This seems to have helped.
THANK YOU!!!
My Kaiser was getting close to being flashed back to a WM6 rom or quite possibly embedded in a wall.
where do you find cab for touchflo? I was looking for that but could not find it.

Try playing around with the TouchFLO sensitivity options in KaiserTweak
i upgraded to official 6.1 about two weeks ago...
i recently started having the "missed taps" problem...
i have a feeling that KaiserTweak has something to do with the issue...if memory serves, i don't remember experiencing the issue BEFORE i played with the "TouchFLO->Sensitivity" and "TouchFLO->Finger Pressure" options...i just launched KaiserTweak right now and its showing those values as set to defaults where as i could've sworn i changed them to the advised settings a day or two ago approximately when i started experiencing the issue...just a point to clarify, i was only playing around for no particular reason and my taps were not problematic before
i've just changed them to the advised settings and did a soft reset to see if these are the kind of settings that are forgotten after a soft reset...but they stuck...so i'm gonna observe this for a couple of days with the advised settings effective and see if they have reverted to defaults on first sight of the issue...i'll report back here if that happens because that would be a pretty strong correlation...almost enough to prove cause and effect
Well, problem is, last time I've used KaiserTweak was like a year ago, so my touchscreen problems cannot be linked to KaiserTweak. I don't even have it on my tilt.
Also, it's definitelly not a touchscreen itself, since this problem is application-dependent. Once again, S2U2 and Opera are immune to this problem. Windows' build-in apps (file explorer, bottom bar, etc) all suffer from it.
I've noticed this too, but I've found a slightly longer tap seems to make things reliable for me.. Instead of a quick 'jab' if I sort of touch it, it seems to be better.
and keyboard too I've noticed.. I mostly notice it with the hard keys rather than the keyboard, but I don't use the keyboard a lot.
I'll try looking for duplicate notifications, what else will do that besides MemMaid? I might reinstall it, it was handy. I previously found phoneAlarm would grow notifications over time, I suppose I need to watch for that anyway.

True, if I keep pushing on the screen button, in about 5 seconds it will be clicked. But that's ridiculous, i gotta say.

I use PocketMechanic - good stuff. Has lots of useful functions, including notification queue cleanup and analysis.
Just had another "seizure" - touchscreen would not respond AT ALL for several minutes. No matter what or how I tap - complete ignore.
After couple of minutes it started working again.
Interesting that S2U2 worked fine. Seems that windows just chooses to ignore touchscreen input.
I'm forced to return to WM6.0 ROM...
Please, anybody look into this.. phone is becoming to be unusable - I can't even enter a phone number.

Yeah it's really bad here. I've tried all sorts of tricks, including:
Re-install 6.1
Re-install 6.1 with the recent radio update found on the e-club
Install SPL 3.56
Disable HTC today screen
Kaisertweaks - tweaks on and off
Disable radio completely (seems to help, but makes the device useless)
Disable activesync
Disable quickgps
For now, I've done 2 things that seems to help:
- Disable the HTC task manager - improves the responsiveness
- Kill the MSTLI.EXE process - improves on the number of freezes
But I still experience freezes, and it's really getting to me. I need a responsive device, not this c****

I concur, it is application specific. I tried to run the "Task manager" from Fdcsoft to see if it was related to a process eating up all the CPU. But the problem doesn't occur while the application is focused.

Oh wow, not a LONG PRESS, literally a 'touch' vs a 'tap'. What you describe would be seriously annoying.

Tilt unresponsive to anything (not just touch)

I have searched and found some thread's about this sort of this but not exactly the same problem. I am using GARMIN'S FINAL ROM which I must say it awesome. Stable and the fastest I have seen yet but I am still have one problem, at certain point's my phone doesn't respond to touch, clicking of the front key's and even sometime I have to press button's on the keyboard 3 or 4 time's just to get it to type. I thought it could just be lag but even when I give the phone a few second's to do it's thing (load fully) it doesn't work properly? I mean even sometime's when I press the end key the friggin button's don't even light up.
I hope there is some help because I just got the Tilt and it seem's like a great phone but this is just getting to be stupid.
Thank's ahead of time.
i have the same issue with hyper dragon rom. and no, im not running any programs, memory usage is 48% (running nothing) however the screen wont respond to touchs, the keyboard wont respond etc but the cursor still blinks, animations still play etc.
ive already tried all of the "keyboard" fix's, adjusted the settings manually etc yes i calibrated the screen multiple times *waits for somebody to reflash even though i did that *
I was having that problem and I found the only way to workaround it was to re-align The screen in the Start>Settings>System>Screen menu. But, I have not had it since installing SJ's 15 November 08] HyperDragon III Raphael version here
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=397121
I strongly recommend it. All you need to do is remember to install Opera 9 last per Notes at the top of the post.
Hope that helps.
I am going to try that out, it look's cool but it look's like there is way to much stuff for it to run fast? Also if I don't use Opera I don't need to install it correct?
bump! Any other idea's?
I have the same problem but mostly notice it when the phone comes out of sleep. The phone will work right then slow to a stop and not allow any input via the screen or keys. 10 seconds later it's good to go.
Edit
OK the fix I can confirm that woks is that you have to sim unlock your phone with the newer 6.1 roms. I did it and it completely fixed my lag problem. Use the kaiser unlocker to do it and it can be found with a simple search. Make sure you have a the right SPL and newer radio to make sure everything is compatible.

can't sync after upgrade :(

hello. i recently upgraded to the latest WM6.5 rom (21189) by sun_dream. after the update it was ok. but i can't sync my BA with my pc. i noticed that i failed to "kill" wcescomm before running the update. i need your help! do i need to redo the upgrade itself? i tried to uninstall active sync 4.5 and installed 4.1 but the same results. please advise.
thanks & regards!
junnel
Umm I dont know if this would work for you, but try going to settings, connection, and usb connections. There look for something that says something about advanced wireless connections. Make sure thats on(checked). Cause that prevented me from active sync before.
IF that doesnt work, then perform a hard reset. It'll basically reset your devices settings.
To do a hard reset, push the reset button on the bottom of the Blue Angel with the stylus but quickly hold both the buttons on the left side(rec and media) after the reset. Your suppose to been have holding the buttons before the version shows up. After that, 3 things should show up. You want the 2nd and 3rd one to have yes on them, leave the kt memory things as no. Use the rec. to change from yes to no, and media button to scroll down. After the 2nd and 3rd are set to yes. Just hit the mail button. And a white screen should pop up, and the device would reset.
good job, tada1228
that's the way to go.
if all that, however, doesn't solve your problem, try a different, newer build, like 21193, 21198 or 21202.
21202 in my opinion, is the best wm6.5 rom so far, way faster than the revious build, and since your rom is under 21190, even just by one, it wouldn't support several plugins, like titanium weather, fave people and other things.
21189 is a nice build and i don't wanna diss sun_dream, but xplode's 21202 is just a little nicer, faster and i like it better (plus it has a way better extrom).
my BA is up and about! thanks alot, man..
