All user have to be aware of this serious problem, I happened to me twice.
I upgraded my BA to WM5 the latest patch i think, then I installed Spb Pocket Plus 3. After installation done, i went to settings in "Today Plug-In" option and I wanted to add some tabs, at that time I suddenly change my mind I wanted backup all my data first before doing anything else. I clicked "Ok" button, the loading icon showed up, I wait and wait.... until I could wait anymore, so I did soft-reset, you know what, all my datas' gone even datas on my SD card. I tapped on the start menu, there were only Programs and Help, all others were gone, I went to Programs there was only Pocket Msn stay. I placed my BA in the craddle and browsed my pocket pc through Active Sync, I realized that all my other folders were gone including my SD card and in the Windows folder, 60% of the files were also gone.
I don't know this is the bug from the WM5 upgrade ROM or from SPB. Just want to let everybody know so users can aware of it.
Did you have the safe mode startup selected in PocketPlus? If so, then that's a problem already reported in the main Wizzard ROM thread.
Yes, I enabled the safe mode, but this also happened in the version 2.5 which doesn't have Safe Mode.
No isssues here
Hey, I'm running WM5 (Wizard port) and SPB pocket plus 3.0.0 build 3888 and I havent had any issues with thsi config. I have safe mode off, though.
I also ran the same SPB version on previous WM5 Hima port and it ran fine as well.
Yeah, I have no problem so far beside the one I stated.

I'm not sure what happened, but I was using PIE to view a website. I followed a link from another site and the new window opened about 50% and never loaded. After about 10 minutes of just sitting there I did a soft reset. Now when I go to use PIE it loads about 5% of a page and hangs / freezes and causes me to have to soft reset.
I deleted all cookies, temp files and history but no go. I looked in the \startup\ dir and there isn't anything new in there. There aren't any programs running either.
Everything else on the phone is working fine as far as I know.
Any ideas on how to get my PIE back?
Opps! Sorry, I just noticed I posted this in UPGRADING and it shouldn't have been there!
Same here but I am using NetFront v3.3 and Opera Mini. Let me know if resolved this problem.
I think I might have fix it. I fired it up and it appears to be working better now.
My OPERA 8.65 worked fine, and so did everything else.
What I had done was install Schap's Advancedconfig. After DESTALLING it (because there wasn't anything in there that you cant tweak by hand) it didn't reset the original values!
Anyway, the Glyph cache was changed and so was the file system cache and
file system filter cache. I guess it was TOO BIG and was greezing it. I changed the limi for GLYPHCACHE down to 16384 and did a soft reset and it seems to be back to normal.
Let me know if you get yours fixed.
usually pie freezes if u set the cookies to be stored on the storage card instead of device. It is also known that pie freezes when you use flash player 7 for ppc.
I've had cookies saved to storage since day 1 and never had any problems. I have read other's reporting the same thing as you suggested though. But for me, I have never experienced this problem.
if you have att tilt...what i did was install the removehiddenproxy.cab and it made the PIE freeze go away...you can find it in dutty's collection of cabs in the regular kaiser forums....what ROM are you using because some ROMs use the PIE scroll fix cab within the ROM and it has been known to make PIE freeze on most ATT Tilt devices...
just move all your temp internet files/cache/etc back to the device storage and it will work.
That solved my hanging issues.... I had to hard reset earlier on when I din know what to do....
Nice,
Was havin the exact same issue,and did have my temp stuff on the storage card-that did the trick!!! moved them back to the device and BINGO-working great.
Just working away on my brand new Treo Pro - came across the same problem. Never had this issue with any other phone before.
When Cookies, Temp Internet Files and History were moved to storage card - I locked up. move them back and it works perfectly.
I put JUST the Temporary Internet Files on the storage card and left history and cookies on the device - that seems to work also. Guess I will run with that.

How do you move them back?
I've had my Tilt running pretty smoothly on the stock firmware since I bought it over the summer (camera stopped working, but that's a different story). Anyway, I did a backup this morning (SPB Backup), and after the reboot I couldn't get a voice signal. If I pushed the phone button, nothing would happen! Now here's the weird thing: I'm able to get a data connection (was able to get new email), but the phone icon still says no service. Has anybody experienced this before, or know of any fixes? I've soft-booted a few times, but didn't want to hard boot if there was a simpler way.
And yes I did search this entire forum for similar posts, but didn't find any.
Thanks in advance!
have you tried a different SIM from a different operator?
you might want to try a different SIM from a different operator just to be sure your SIM and/or operator is not the problem.
if it works with another SIM, you can be fairly certain that it is NOT a hardware issue...in which case, a hard reset will more than likely resolve your problem.
also, are you able to receive incoming calls? what kind of a message does the caller get in case your phone doesn't even wake up and ring? finally, have you tested sms text messaging? try sending a message to someone and also try to receive an sms text message from someone...these little steps will help you confirm whether or not you are experiencing a hardware issue...in which case you might want to consider having it checked/fixed under warranty.
keep searching...cheers !!!
Happened to me once. I tried everything, but didn't work. If it's under warranty, AT&T will replace it. I went through 3 units in the 11 months I owned tilt.
hmmm have you tried flashing another Radio? (don't know what happened to your camera, but if you've got cam & phone issues, it's worth checking the Radio...
It's happened to me twicw also. This is an SPB Backup quirk. I'm afraid a hard reset is all that's left to do.
Well,
first of check if you're connecting to the correct network AT&T and not accidently logged on to the T-Mobile network - perform a manual network search / selection on your device.
If the above step does not help, try to restore your device with the SPB Backup you made. If that also does not work, well, then ... yeah ... hard reset! I would not really consider a RADIO FLASH on your device since it semmed to be working fine for you before that?
Thanks for everyone's suggestions. I tried doing a full restore of the latest backup (that morning), and that seemed to bring back the phone functionality. However, the restore also eliminated a few of my main programs, which was very weird! So, I did a full restore from the previous backup and tested that one out. Everything was like it should be. Then I did a restore of the latest backup's tasks/appointments (only things that changed), and now I'm back to full operation
As a side question, since I'm running WM 6.0 and want to flash to 6.1, would I be able to do a full restore from SPB Backup... or would that be incompatible with the upgraded OS?
You won't be able to perform a FULL RESTORE. There are a couple of changes in WM6.1, so, just to be on the save side I would suggest that you back up your PIM data, then flash to 6.1, restore your PIM data and reinstall all of your application.
BTW:
I was running WM6.1 on my MWg Zinc II and couldn't find any real advantages other than THREADED SMS. The Pocket IE gets a whole bunch of new bugs (for example Frames in websites are not shown or not shown correctly) and experienced a couple of incompatibilities with 3rd-party software application. If you still want to take a chance, good luck! However, I do not believe that you can go back to WM6.0 once you flash to 6.1!
I wouldn't upgrade to 6.1 if you're running SPB software. I was running 6.1 without problems, then loaded SPB Phone Suite, Diary, and Pocket Plus, and suddenly Garmin XT couldn't locate satellites at all. It took several hard and soft resets, and a visit to the SPB forums to realize that 6.1 could be the culprit, and it was. All problems disappeared with 6.0. There was a post at the SPB forums that *seemed* to indicate that SPB apps hadn't been fully tested--they may have used the word "certified"--with 6.1. Good luck.
No, that's not it -- I'm running the latest versions of all of those SPB titles on a stock 6.1 with no problems.
i have no spb apps on this one and i have the problem...it just can't fix the network
it happened few days ago to a guy that isn't quite familiar with ppcs he somehow turned it off and when he turned it on he couldn't get the network...eventually he hooked up after half a day (i'm not sure for how long did this problem last because i don't know does he use soft reset and flight mode)...so i took the kaiser to test it and to see what happened..i messed with flight mode and SR it couldn't find the net at all
tried wm6 and two wm6 radios
tried wm6.1 and two wm6.1 radios
i'll try android...just to test the module itself..if there are any hardware issues
Hi,
Over the weekend, my Kaiser starting giving the error message that it was running low on memory, and i suspect that it was due to downloading large files and the system cache filling up.
I tried ClearTemp and MemAid to regain space and it was a temporary fix.
How ever last night my Today screen was not displaying correctly (only showing HTC Home) and a SPB Wireles icon citing that both Phone Alarm and SPB Wireless were unsigned and incorrect parameters.
I decided to check my 8gb MicroSD to reinstall the applications but virtually all data on it was erased (except for the files in use on the today screen) It was only half full.
I cant even access the settings page to modify my Today screen as the 'settings button is no longer there.
Has anyone experienced this and / or know of a fix. I prefer to exhaust all avenues before i hard reset and build it back again.
thanks in advance for your input.
Dear friend,
your situation looks very complicated. I have never faced such a problem,but I am aware of some similar problems....but those problems are very rare,though.
First of all you need to do some back up if you can and format your memory card on your PC.
Then find some good ROM,I suggest a non modified,stock ROM and flash your device.
I know this can be frustrating,but this is the only way to get your device to work again.
Although I do not know what exactly did you do before that problem appeared,the solution is very simple...new ROM.Stock HTC ROM would be the best.
Let me know if I was helpful.
Best regards,
Alexander.
Thanks, I ended up having to hard reset.
I have currently defaulted to the stock Aus3 Rom but am looking at trying the the WM6.1 Aus3 rom, or even a cooked rom!
It will depend how much time i have to try and fix things if it goes pear shaped again! I dont want to Brick my phone!
Hello,
I had some freezes on bootloader.
Searching a solution on this forum, I updated my Kaiser 130 with a 3.29hard2 patched HSPL. I installed the PDACorner v8 rom, set my all stuff and made a backup with SPB Backup 2.
Since this time, every day, my Kaiser lose the contacts, the programs and calendar. The settings still remain. It happens while my ppc is USB connected to my PC, some hours after a sucessfull synchronization.
After each "crash", I restore the full system and settings with SPB backup.
Today, I thought the problem was on my Activesync 4.5. So, I removed it, reboot my PC and install Activesync again. I removed the activesync's settings on my PPC and launched a new partnership with synchronization.
But my PPCfinally "crashed" some hours after.
I hope you can really help me.
I tried HSPL 3.29hard2 and 3.34 ; radio 1.71 and 1.70 ; PDAcorner V8 rom and some others ; without success.
Greetings.
Restoring full setting might be a problem! What OS was your backup and what OS are you restoring it to?
I forgot to mention that.
Of course, I only used my backup on the same OS it was made.
Clearly, I didn't use the SPB backup's possibility to restore my settings on an updated or different rom.
The crazy thing is that the first synchronization is succesful and that my PPC seems to run normally until it crashes.
After each crash, I need to hard reset my Kaiser to reboot normally again (with all items in programs, Start, etc.)
I don't remember if I tried to set my all stuff manually instead of restoring with SPB. In fact, I'm just doing this try since this afternoon and all seems OK at the moment.
some bad news
I was trying my Kaiser's stability since yesterday afternoon, after a hard reset and without a SPB backup.
This morning I was thinking the problem was due to the restore of SPB.
But my PPC just crashes. So I have to search a new explanation.
Thanks for your help
strange... i have the same problem.
ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh
i'm not alone !!!!!!!!
sorry... and welcome to my club !
Actually I have the following roms on the Kaiser :
- SPL 3.34
- radio 1.71.09.01
- PDA Corner V8 (win 6.1)
and Activesync 4.5 on the PC.
My ppc crashed so frequently during the last days that Activesync is totally lost with the two partnerships it can manage. I tried to completely uninstall this soft two days ago, but without success... for the Kaiser's stability, I mean.
I have to mention that I only attempted to create partnerships with the same PC, my work's one. Tomorrow I will connect the ppc only for synchronization instead of the usual all the day's connection.
Are your crash's conditions similar with mine ?
similar issues
i have had similar issues, I never worked out what was causing it exactly... it happens if i sync with active sync and even worse i have lost my whole sd card once (it's ok i backup, phew). I assumed i had caused the problem by using advanced config to move some of the basic file storage and caching to the sd card. in the end i have switched to Google sync for my contacts and calender and use Bluetooth to transfer files between pc and ppc. I had initially also thought it had something to do with sprite back up, so i had stopped using it. wondering if you have moved cache and default file locations too? cos maybe active sync has an issue with this (maybe a delay writing to the sd card?) jst speculating really. since i switched to google sync i dont have a use for active sync at all....

No, I didn't.
I usually only change minor settings (regional settings, owner informations, ringtone, etc.) after a flash or a hard reset.
I made backup to speed up my ppc's customization, especially since crashes happened more and more frequently (ppc was under non patched HSPL 3.56).
I really think that two problems are chaining in my case. The first was my Kaiser's instability, due to the couple HSPL & TPCElite rom, which caused a great shake in my partnerships. The second is due to Activesync, I think, but I don't have any evidence at this time.
So, I just made two synchronizations today.
I have disconnected my Kaiser after each one.
And the ppc didn't crash again.
Hey guys,
Just moved this over to kaiser general, Wanted to keep the rom dev section a bit cleaner since this isn't really related to rom development.
Peace,
Josh
Joshkoss :
Sorry, I firstly thought my problem was a rom's one.
Finally, it appears that my crashes became from my PC's connection even I don't know why.
So, you are right !
This post shall not stay in rom section anymore.
phone hell in crazy town.....
Woke up this am and simply tried to sync my diamond2 (running dutty HG) with my PC, its always worked before but today it decided it didnt want to play ball.
it kept saying it couldnt sync this device, and to run AS troubleshooter, which unsurprisingly did nothing, however it still allowed you to "explore" ie browse the folders etc.
after running through all the obvious things (restarting devices in various orders, re attaching all usb connections) and having had AS issues at various times with previous versions of AS and WM, i uninstalled and reinstalled activesync on the laptop. this failed and still gave the same error but still allowed browsing.
during all of this i also noticed that some pages and the settings tab in the opera browser were causing the browser to shut down. it too was working fine last night, i rebooted the phone several times, and suddenly opera would give a couldnt find the opera armvi operating file........... hmmmmmmm its part of the os so couldnt just reload the cab and i still had the activesync issue to solve.
so i'd been meaning to rebuild the phone for while and do clean installs of some of the cabs etc and decided that this would probably also solve the activesync issue, so i reloaded the ROM via the bootloader, and proceded to go about the usual set up and install procedure again.
everything went great until i tried load the first cab from the sd card........ "unsuccessfull" , next one was the same, tried loading another cab from the PC, unsuccessfull, tried to connect to active sync still the same error, unable to sync but able to explore..........
at least opera works :/
any ideas on why the CAB's won't install now, its almost like the phones "read only"....
and any ideas on whats up with activesync????? or how to reset the relationships???? without it i cant even load on the contacts after the reset
--- ok after a reflashing for 3rd time the CAB files now installs ok, but the active sync issue still reminas
Are you hard resetting after flashing.
If so, you may want to consider running a Task 29 or flashing back to your stock ROM first.
Check your USB to PC settings and play around with "enable faster data", if its checked, uncheck and visa versa.
I just want to add one thing..sometimes when a microSD card starts going bad, strange things really happen to the device. If you have a extra microSD card handy, try it, just to check.
