Anyone figure out why the WM6 Wizards turn themselves on?

First, props to everyone on this project. I upgraded my T-Mo MDA to WM6 yesterday, and what a fun day it was. Thanks to all for the WM6 preview!
Unfortunately, since this is my main phone, and I use it for work, reality forced me to downgrade back to a "stock" WM5 ROM.
I had everything sorted out in WM6- syncing, bluetooth headset, all my software installed, etc. but every time I set the thing down, it would turn itself back on within 5 minutes.
Just for "data collection," if it helps, I used the Orwell ROM, and had SPB Pocket PC Plus, and Voice Command 1.6 installed (since the "built-in" one didn't do BT.)
All the other little weirdness I could I live with (the "turn on wi-fi" never saying "Turn off," no camera flash, etc.) but I can't have the thing turning itself on randomly all day!
Thanks again for the glimpse of the future!

After switching from the stock wm6 (rwell) to the pdaviet3 rom i did notice a lot of bugs gone.
to your stated bugs:
Cam light works
Phone is not waking up by itself
battery doesnt seem to drain as much as with the 3.3 roms
faster even without overclocking than 3.3
if there is anything u would like me to test let me know
cheers

on mine i set battrystatus to lock the phone after i would put it on standby so when i would hit the button it would turn the screen back on. but after it gets locked it would stay off. So i figured if you lock your device the screen will stay off.

im on pv3 and the powerups still occur, i have a feeling its Batterystatus doing it, because my brother also has pv3 in it, but no powerups...

I just recently re-installed PV3 from the 3.3 rom because of battery drain issues and since re-installing I havent noticed anymore powerups. I have the 1.4 beta ext. baterystatus installed.

Do you use push email?

im sad to inform you guys........that i think it is the batterystatus that is causing the power ups. after reading this thread last night i removed batterystatus and i noticed that my phone did not power on after i would put it on stand by. and it really saddened me because i like this program alot. do you guys think there might be a solution out there. what other program can i use to over clock?

There is a solution, faria seems to know it but he's not sharing
Shame...

Nope, battery status doesn't seem to be it. I removed it, restarted but it still turns on.
This majorly blows!

Did a hard reset... Now no start-ups, push-email enabled (so it is not the cause).

i have the same problem with pdviet3, i did a hard reset... no powerups until i setup exchange server, its got to be something with push-email, i downgraded to wm5 until theres a fix.

OS itself
Hi guys!
I have such a bug for about 6 months. The same sh** I’m eating just from wm5 AKU3.2, & wm6 didn’t change anything.
I tried it in different ways: several releases of wm5 AKU3.2 and wm6, with and without ExtRom cabs installed, with or without any additional progs, also several versions of radio. Nothing helped!
Some good news: I found out the cause, when it DOES wakeups and when – not.
It very simple to check: just REMOWE password to LOCK your device – it will NOT wake up any more!
Reassign password – and soon it will be awake!
So I had choice: 1. – NOT to assign password for PDA locking, or (as I do so for about 3 months) 2. – to set BatteryStatus option “DeviceLock on Wakeup” on – just like someone wrote above – and switch off device twice.
So, it OS itself brings us this bug!
Is there a doctor in the house?

i stand corrected. i am with you rusigor. i took the password off of my 8125 and to my surprise no more screen power ons. i have battery status set to 299 and ive noticed also that my battery is lasting longer with my password. off. i dont know if its just me. but i've noticed it. so i guess no password for me :-|

HOLLY ****!!! All the hair I've been pulling out!!! I wouldn't never suspected that device lock was causing this. I've started to blame batterystatus.
THANKS! THANKS!

wakeup issue
i had the wakeup issue on the pdaviet3.. i took lock off and it worked... i have the wifi bug..
when wifi is connected i press the icon on taskbar and it dont say turn wifi off.... any ideas?

Very Sluggish/ Hanging TYTN 2

Hi,
I got a TYTN 2 in Singapore recently. It worked fine for a few days, but now it is very sluggish in its response and also hangs frequently.
Any Tips/ Tricks/ Advice anyone?
Also my GPS doesnt seem to work either. I tried a program called MapKing that came with the CD and some other stuff from sites. Nothing is able to detect the GPS, setting is at COM4, 57600
Thanks in advance

My Tilt is having the same problem: it wasn't sluggish, but was hanging a few times a week, so I went ahead and flashed the HTC ROM. Almost immediately, it seemed more sluggish than it had before, and still hangs a few times a week (sometimes I actually have to pop out the battery to even restart it).
I'm sure that's a very vague description, so I'd be happy to provide any further information that might help.
Thanks!

Hey, to reset, i never popped the battery, i just removed the sim card slot lock, and it would turn off completely. Dont know tho, might be dangerous. Would you tell me which rom are you using? Is it Helmi_Kaiser_1.57.00.02BigStorage_AKU.0.7.0.Cooked.exe ? I am thinking of using this one now.

Mine encounter lag every now and then. especially evident when using opera to surf. Screen will just freeze and have to wait a few seconds before I can do anything.

I've never tried to reset by unlocking the sim card - can anyone confirm that that's a safe, easier way to reset? Either way, I'd rather not have to reset at all.
Anyway, I'm using the ROM with the filename: "RUU_Kaiser_HTC_WWE_1.56.405.5_radio_sign_22.45.88.07_1.27.12.11_Ship.exe"
I don't know much about ROMs, and that's the only one I found easily in the forums. Maybe it's a bad ROM, which would explain performance poorer than that of the original Tilt ROM. Can anyone recommend a better ROM?

Fixed?
Just to catch up here:
I've been using dutty's ROMs for a few weeks, and the device is much more responsive. I still have occassional hangs, but I can usually soft reset - maybe once every week or two I get a hard hang that requires me to remove the battery.
Currently using: Dutty's NewBuild Rom N0.6 +NETCF 3.5 AT&T.zip
Awesome ROM!

i have the same hanging as described above ... screen doesn't react. effects typing on the keyboard also ... i hope this can be fixed by new roms or by some fix. I am trying to figure out what is causing this since it doesnt happen all the time. say when i am playing solitaire for an hour it runs great, when typing an email it gets bad again...
anyone had any similar experiences ?
update: going to try dutty's rom as suggested above will see how it goes
ok, so after a few days with dutty's rom no.6 my device seems fine with exactly the same programs installed. my guess is either it was caused due to using an at&t rom including the radio on a kaiser or some problem with the custel 2.0 rom (and probably a few others).
hope this helps someone ...

Question about TomTom & its icon

iv just downloaded the latest tomtom, and its put a badge/icon on my today screen. AFAIK it doesnt actually do anything, it cant be clicked on or selected, and as a result id like to get rid of it.
iv tried going through the Tomtom settings, checking the today\items and deleting it from the registry under software\microsoft\todays\items but none of it gets rid of it.
Does anyone have a way of doing it?
cheers

You need to *uncheck* the Tomtom box in the today screen options and that icon will then only be accessible from the start menu. Thats what I did with my TyTN II and it works perfectly. If the box is checked you'll get that icon on the today screen.
BTW, if you're using the recently released HTC WM 6.1 update with HTCs Navigator 6.032 are you finding GPS performance to be much worse than before the upgrade (slow fixes and wild fluctuations in GPS reception bars even when stationary)?

thanks for the reply, ill give it a go.
Im a new tom tom & 6.1 user (just flashed one of duttys), so dont have any previous experience to compare it with, sorry.

I'm finding the Tom Tom (and other GPS apps) to be worse after the upgrade unfortunately - it's the only fault I can find with the new ROM. The problem for me is just the first fix after any soft reset - it always takes an age (up 10-15 minutes) which I'm sure wasn't the case before.
Subsequent fixes (after closing and later re-opening TT or another GPS program) are always much quicker, within 30 seconds even, so obviously once it's been initialised once it's fine, until the next soft reset when you're back to square one.

do you download the quickgps data after the soft reset, i believe that doesnt save when you do a soft reset, and the first lock you get from GPS, will be remembered and make it easier for the future connections.
I never have a problem with GPS connections, only tomtom and its poorly slow application refresh.

AFAIK it downloads in the background on a regular basis still, whenever I'm plugged into the PC at work (which is most of the working day) - whenever I check it, it always claims to be up to date, anyway. But I agree the behaviour is as if that data isn't there anymore... peculiar.

Then you're lucky! Mine now locks up regularly (2 or 3 times a day) and it never used to before the up?grade.

Although this part also applies to me, even after getting a fix, if I shut it down while I'm moving and start it up again after a couple of minutes its still much slower than it used to be in the same locations under WM 6.0
I'll email HTC and Tomtom about it as it's clear there's now a problem.

If you ever used HardSPL (or possibly even if you didn't) you probably need to flash the new HTC SPL - see the thread over in ROM development. It cured all the freezing issues for me.

I'm pretty sure it's an HTC issue, since I have the same problems using GPS in MS Live Search too. Unfortunately there's not much point in me emailing them, because mine is officially Vodafone branded and they don't support it.

Thanks for the tip. I'm the old school sort who believes the hardware provider should be responsible for fixing things, hence why I'll write when I get the time but I may try this later if I get annoyed enough! I've never installed HardSPL and this official HTC upgrade was the first flash I've subjected my TyTN II to.

In the end the buck stops with HTC and as they are responsible for my phone, I'll remember other branded users are also depending on a fix from them when I write.

How often do you soft reset your X1?

The poll is self explanatory.
I'm just curious. I more or less have to do mine daily. Sometimes I can go a day or so or more, but not often before something doesn't work properly.

about 2-3 times/day avarage .... im not sure if mine's the only one with problems like this but its hell ... changes with roms a bit but always has problems ...

Once a month about. Maybe once a 3 weeks.

I do it daily, because I want to. I feel compelled by my inner voice to do it.

daily...,,...

It depends on navigation use: Without daily navigation I can go more than a week without a softreset. But I guess Navigons MN7.x leaves something in the memory that causes problems afters some days -but only at the next start of MN7.x not at other software. But because I use MN7.x nearly daily, a softreset has to be done every 3-4 days.

i hardly ever do - except today when for some reason the vibrator was stuck on

Ooops. My mistake.
I actually misunderstood the question thinking of beeing forced to do.
Well I do it once a week basically...

once a week

It's done automatically every night with SPB Backup. But before I bought this software, I had to soft reset about once a week.

Same as this guy

I soft-reset the X1 whenever I see a need to. Which is probably about once a week - as soon as I start to feel the device is slightly slower than normal.
Though there was once I was so bored in class I randomly went to soft-reset my X1 - and my friend was staring at me like I was crazy.

I have an external battery charger, and keep a spare charged battery with me. When the battery dies I exchange it, kind of like doing a rotating system with the battery. This shuts down the X1, does that count as a soft-reset? Hah

I do it once a day withouth necessity rather it's just to kill those apps on the back

Resets Depend on what I'm Doing
The only time I have to reset my Xperia is when I'm messing with it and it hangs up. If I simply use it and the programs I've installed, it almost never needs to be reset. I'm hard on my device, as I supposed many of us are.
As a matter of procedure, I reset it once in the morning whether I need to or not.

Anyone noticing these bugs?

Hi all,
I bought my hd7 on thursday and have been using it fairly heavily since.
I have noticed however that it will on occasion reboot itself, at seemingly random occurences. It has done this maybe 3 or 4 times.
On two occasions I've also found that the volume would (without my input), set itself to full volume or no volume. This wouldn't be instantaneous, but more like the volume button being held down one way or the other. On both occasions this resolved itself after around 10 - 15 seconds.
Should I chalk this up to the software (which can hopefully be resolved in due course) or do you think its faulty hardware?
Other than this, I am loving the phone.
Cheers.

Hmmm, im haviing the same problems, i dont get it, also when i open a tile i.e, Marketplace it will load and then just go back to the start screeen :\, anyone know how to fix this bug ?

So I'm not the only one. That would suggest that its not just a one-off faulty handset. At a guess I'd say the software was just a little rough around the edges.
If it is the software, hopefully Microsoft will be able to fix these things and improve overall stability with future updates. This is the trade off for getting things at release I suppose.
Aside from these minor issues (they've only happened maybe once a day with heavy use) the OS is silky smooth. If they are the only problems, I can live with them until the next update.

Mine phone randomly re-booted the other night, I hope that it's just software related.

I got mine on thursday too, mine's reset itself once or twice. Today I had a weird bug though. The battery was quite low, about 10%, and I called my friend and I could hear her, but she couldn't hear me. She called back - same thing. I tried calling someone else and still the same. I turned the phone off and back on again and everything was back to normal. I thought it was all very strange. Can anyone confirm whether that was a hardware or software fault? Or is it nothing to worry about? (I did check the in-call volume/mute settings!)
cheers

Yep me too, has rebooted a few times when trying to do multiple things at once eg when receiving a text and updating hotmail. 6 or 7 times since thursday, with a couple occasions where I took it out my pocket and it was on the sim pin request screen meaning it had rebooted for now reason and I didn't know :-(
Anyone loaded the generic RUU yet?

I also have this problem! I'd be using either zune(selecting a song) or marketing place(browsing apps) and it will crash and go to the home screen. When i try and re-launch the apps, they saying "loading" and just returns to the home screen.
I hope this is a software bug rather than a fault with my HD7

But if no other WP7 owner is reporting this except HD7, he might have a point.
(I am a omnia 7 owner and there are no random reboot)

Yeah.bought hd7 last week.having the same problem

I am an Omnia 7 owner, and there's been no random reboot.
But, I am getting the thing where if the marketplace gets stuck loading something, I exit and then can't get back in.
On touch of the tile it just says loading and returns to home, needs reboot.

+1, thank goodness im not alone with this issue. My HD7 doesn't randomly reboot either, its just a problem with marketplace and zune crashing and then not run again until i manually reboot the device.
Seems to be a common issue. I've raised this in the microsoft windows phone 7 forum, i'll update what they come back with.

having the same reboot issues and also apps closing themselves on my german o2 hd7 ..
has anyone tried
RUU_Schubert_hTC_Asia_WWE_1.23.707.01_Radio_5.51.09.06a_22.30.50.09_Signed_SCHUBERT_RELEASE ?? is this any better? (and does it have german keyboard?)

There's a possibility the cpu could be overheating. I know my N1 used to randomly reboot due to this when I'd run Wifi Tether for an extended period of time.

i do not think this is the case, the phone reboots overnight in idle mode.

Just to add, have had the phone for 1 week
Cant say mine has ever auto rebooted but the volume has gone mute (and have to restart to fix) twice now
Once also screen froze on alarm display and again had to be retarted
also have had same problem as others here with market place and jumping back to main screen
glad its not my phone, hope updates come soon, having a phone with unreliable volume aint so hot!

Let me lay it down for you:
Microsoft decided to enter the mobile market with a new OS.
Microsoft laid down the minimum requirements for their OS that the hardware manufacturers must meet.
Microsoft designed all aspects of the OS, including the drivers for the hardware.
So now you're telling me that HTC decided to go grab the OS, and install on their device packed with electronics around the globe without MS knowing and approving it?
One thing when you load your own environment like Sense or TouchWiz on the phone and you are responsible for it functioning, and providing user access to the OS, and another when you cannot do any of it, because the whole OS is closed, and you are told you must use this .dll with these options, and no you cannot know why and how how it does it.
