Im not sure exactly how to word this so I will try my best; My tilt has been acting up lately. I touch a button and maybe a few or more seconds later it will finally load. Does anyone happen to know what might be causing it. (Sometimes it almost freezes) Ive tried to search but i dont know how i can paraphrase that.
Thanks in advance for any help!

well to be able to answer your question i need to ask you one:
did you recently flash a wm6.1 rom to your device? if answer is yes, than you need to flash the newer hardspl onto your device by jockyw.
if not than the problem is most probably related to programs eating up your ram. Try disabling these programs from staying loaded at all times to save system memory or if you have alot of junk on your ppc than doing a little bit of house cleaning should help i.e. deleting temporary files, uninstalling unused cabs/programs, you get my drift.

Did you ever try the first simple troubleshooting method: soft-reset?
pretty much.. start off slow before u get into the technical aspect.. if u can clear out ur cookies from ur browser, free up some space on ur memory, and soft reset..

You don't sound like you have much to lose, Back up personal data and " go for the gold " hard reset and start again. Then you will know for sure whether it is hardware or software.

i reworded my question and posted in the general forum. i was told to do a hard reset, and it worked. i think the problem was with my pimbackups. they must have had a bug in there, cuz i would flash and there was the problem again. anyway, it's all good now. thanks for the suggestion
nevermind. it happened again. ok, i have a clue what might be going on. it has to do with schaps config. after changing something in there, i lose the ability to download. i had to hard reset again today, which sux cuz i forgot to pimbackup before i advance configed. lesson learned
I've been searching and I can't seem to find what I need, I need to send back my g1 to tmobile, I have cyanogen 4.0.1 and cyanogen recovery 1.4. How do I get back the stock recovery and unroot the phone

LOL. That was hard work.
I often wonder in instances like these if the OP's are just lying and they didn't search or if they are so bad at searching that they actually come up with nothing.
@ OP: If you did indeed search and didn't come up with anything, I have a tip for you in the future:
Instead of searching for something like "un-rooting my phone so I can send it back to T-mobo"
try "unrooting"
I see it all the time with people who use Google. They try to search for a specific thing and get frustrated. Go broad, you can never go wrong especially in a forum.

Well said.
Hello, I'm new around here. I recently acquired a Vodafone VPx Blue Angel phone. Is it completely safe to upgrade them to the latest version of Windows Mobile for a newbie like me?
Thanks,
BrandonSH.
completely? theres always a risk.
backup your current rom to sdcard before you do anything.
just be careful about flashing radio, that's what will brick you.
Actually, upgrading any part of the device could potentially brick it. Just make sure that you follow all the necessary steps for unlocking (if necessary) and upgrading your device. Good luck...
OK... I'll try it when the cradle from eBay comes.
you should definetely follow step by step instructions. my tutorial is fool proof, because even if you don't know, what you are doing, you will still get there, and following every step exactly, there is no risk at all. hundreds of people do it exactly like that and have not bricked their devices.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=630416
i totally agree..
i have a blue angel also that still runs on WM2003..i've installed spb applications in it and every time my battery runs out, all of the installed programs disappears or uninstalls..i've read in some forums that in WM5 and WM6 this thing doesnt happen even if your battery runs out..
the only thing that's been troubling me is i don't want my (beloved) Blue Angel to turn into a useless brick after stuffing up an upgrade to WM6 (if ever i decided to upgrade)..
being a newbie like you doesn't give me much confidence in following the upgrade steps that are posted in the forums..probably, when there's one that i can 'really' understand i'll give that upgrading a go for sure..until then..i just have to make sure that my battery life is doing fine
the reason, the programs are "uninstalled" when your battery runs out, is that your home drive ("C:") is stored in the ram, you can see that, when you go to start - settings - system - memory. you can adjust the level of ram in comparison to storage space on the ram. ram consists of an architecture, that can only hold data as long as it is supplied with power, just like on the pc, when you put a windows xp pc into hibernation, the ram is stored on the harddisk, so that it can power off and still save the system state. so, everytime you run out of power, probably in combination with a broken backup battery, your device is hard resetted, as it can only store the internal permanent data, like the rom partition, the storage and the storage card.
that does not happen to devices running wm5 or above, since their home drives are not located on the ram, but the storage, some roms come with a ram disk as a 2nd drive, but you would only use that space temporarily and programs and documents are stored in a save area that is independent from power supply.
btw. you are a registered user for more than a year now, by now you could have figured out the upgrade procedure. it has been posted dozens of times, the most recent and accurate ones by me. i can see that you don't want to follow steps randomly without knowing what they do. that wouldn't be a problem. i can explain any given step to you, what exactly it does and why it does that and what that is necessary for, if you want me to. after all, i wrote my tutorials, because i understand the procedure, not just copying it from somewhere.
EDIT: btw. as long as you try and flash a blueangel rom, you cannot brick your device. even if the flashing process fails for any reason, you would simply start over. besides trying to flash a rom from another device, i couldn't think of a single case, where somebody really bricked their device.
thank you for the very informative reply Chef..i've always been wondering why that thing happens to my BA, now i know why..
as for being a bit tentative on upgrading my BA..you're right..i just don't wanna follow random steps and besides im not really that 'technically' gifted when it comes to gadgets..i know my BA is an old model but i really like the benefits that i get from it..so is it ok if i post some messages to you regarding help on upgrading to wm6 for my BA?
i know you've already posted a tutorial for it..and i know a lot of people can follow it without any trouble at all..as for me..i can only understand the steps where i need to download certain files..that's about it..as for the rest of the tutorial im in total darkness..like i said, im not really that good when it comes to these kind of things
but don't worry..now that i know there's someone like you who would gladly help out a newbie like me in upgrading my BA, i think im about to 'dive in' into this upgrading stuff..just need to read your tutorial again..and download all the necessary stuff needed for the upgrade..
thanks so much..
erm im not entirely sure how flashing the wince image would brick it. i mean, i've ATTEMPTED to brick a harrier before. i zerod out the entire wince image and flashed it, i corrupted it and flashed it, i dc'd it at 2% 10% 40% 60% and so on.
i cant get the damn thing to die, seriously. ive always came back from wince flashes.
spygyro, if you want fast help you should check out the xda irc. having a live talk with someone is alot faster than on here, #xda-devs on irc.freeenode.net:6667
thanks cheapusenet..but im bit tentative to go into those chatrooms for i dont know much about gadgets like i've said before..i dont wanna bore them with my incessant questions about upgrading..but then again, it's a good suggestion..i'll try to visit it one of these days, but im still going through some of the upgrading tutorials on this site because i'm comfortable with the other forum users here..
there are a lot of knowledgeable forum members here that i think could help me gain 'confidence' into upgrading my BA..don't get me wrong, i know there are a lot of knowledgeable people on the site that you've just mentioned and i'm sure gonna give it a go and visit it..thanks for the suggestion..

The instructions become more clear when you actually have the device and everything you need in front of you. There is no science to this though. Just read, read, read, and re-read until it all begins to make sense (it will, trust me)
BTW, bricking a device is perfectly possible, regardless of what cheapusenet might say (don't really know what purpose killing a Harrier would have, but...)
thanks egzthunder1...i'll try as much as possible to comprehend what the instructions are trying to convey..by the way..i went to that irc chat channel that cheapusenet suggested, and just as i thought, the only thing i got were smart-ass remarks and answers..someone even asked me 'wtf do u want b***h' ..but then again there's a kind soul who suggested i should just follow the instructions here on the forum..i think that would be my last time asking help from an irc chatroom..lol..
anyways..thanks for all the suggestion guys..all i need to do right now is to read and re-read those upgrade instructions until it all becomes crystal clear to me..i just hope i won't 'brick' my BA (fingers crossed)..
i have a large..large amount of harriers. they're the same device as the blueangel just CDMA, i wasnt attempting to brick it as much as i was trying to learn from it. i was attempting to port wm5 to the harrier and thought it may help in some way. and i'm sorrya bout that. I wasnt around i guess, i wouldve helped. it was agentblair and jason8 i bet!
you won't brick it, as long as you just flash a wince image. hell, just dont unplug it or let the battery die and it wont brick. it really isnt all that scary.
also, i DID brick a harrier once come to think about it. it was the radio. flashing the radio you have to worry about, not the WM image.
Hi,
I have a Samsung Galaxy S. I performed the lag fix (V2.2+) on my phone and everything ran successfully, but today I decided to undo the lag fix just to compare the results.
So I undid the lag fix, and my phone rebooted.
But when I was finished comparing the results, I decided to redo the lag fix. The problem is, the option to apply the lag fix was red, making it unavailable. When I clicked on it, it said 'You already appear to have another lag fix installed! (/system/bin/playlogos1 less than 5KB)'. So, I decided to attempt to undo the lag fix again.
But the undo the lag fix was also red! I clicked it, and it said 'You do not appear to have a V2 lag fix installed! (free space on /data does not match /dbdata/ext2data)'.
When I tried to Remove EXT2 Tools, just to see if that would help, it was unsuccessful. I really want the lag fix again, but how?
I tried removing the playlogos1 file from my phone, and reinstall it using OCLF, but it didn't work, because the lag fix buttons were still red.
Please help!!!
Sorry for the long question, but I really need help.
By the way, I am a big newbie, and I don't understand all of this ROM and kernel business, so try to keep the answer simple if possible!
Thanks,
Katie

Wow, your hardcore! How about deleting some other essential boot files? Just so that you can write another post in wrong forum.
Good advice - dont use old and unnecessary lagfix any more.
Crap advice - press "restore boot animation" or something like this.
seriously, take it easy. my quadrant standard now is like 800, but with the lag fix it was roughly 2000, so it does make a difference, especially while booting up.
i tried restoring boot animation, but that didn't work.
and im sorry if i posted this in the wrong forum, but whatever, its the first one that came to mind

Thats why there is STOP!! Before You Post, Read This NOW!! topic on freaking top of the page. hough apparently we need to have atleast 10 of them for people to notice it.
800 kind of make it sound like your on eclair, probably god awful old too.
And quadrant doesnt mean anything.
Could you be more rude. I know it is posted in the wrong section but you could have been a bit nicer.
OnTopic, I don't know what the problem is. You could look in the Q&A section or ask the author of the program who has probably knows the most about this. And if you are on a really old firmware there is probably a offical update for it.
