random freezing on tilt

hey guys, i have an unlocked tilt, flashed with the htc rom, and for some reason it randomly locks up.. i especially notice it with PIE, but also with other programs. i usually have to wait 5-6 seconds, and then it works again. the weird thing is that from what i remember when windows mobile freezes up, and you click a bunch of different buttons, as soon as it un-freezes, all those buttons are pushed, however in this case, no matter what i press, when it un-freezes, it just stays where it is.. im beginning to wonder if i just have a defective screen or something, but i dont remember this happening with the tilt rom tho... any help? thanks

I have the exact same problems...

same here, did it when i had the att rom on it also.

I *had* the same problem. I did a Clear Storage, and everything is fine now. I sware my problems started after I loaded the HTC Home plug-in. After I did the clear storage, my problems went away.
I'm running the Tilt on the Cingular ROM at this time for what it's worth.
I didn't run the HTC ROM long enough to see if it did it also.

Clear Storage
What does clear storage really do?

Basically resets it back to how it was when you first turned it on...no contacts, no apps (other than what it shipped with), etc. Basically a factory reset.

If you used kaiser tweak to set your ie temp files to storage card, this will make your kaiser freeze. set back to default.

My problems happend with the HTC rom, and are still happening (although the freeze time is shorter) with the Helmi ROM. I didn't have the ATT rom on long enough to notice it.
Are any of you guys using the Shogun threaded SMS app?

Threaded app works great. Its most likely that you tried to set your Pocket IE storage cache to your storage card. this is a known issue. I believe there's a fix around, but without that fix, you can't put your IE cache on the Storage Card. Set it back to your main memory and you should be OK.

Thats not likely, seeing as how I've *never* done that... ever. And the problem happens outside of IE also.

Are you using the HTC home screen? I'm wondering if that may be a culprit in more than one issue I'm seeing...

Are you using blackberry connect? I was using version 4.0.0.90 then switched to 4.0.0.84 and my random freezing went away.

HTC home screen = always
Blackberry connect = never
Every rom I used with my 8525 had the HTC home screen, never had freezing issues this bad. Although I do remember having some...

OK, did you use the official HTC ROM? Or one of the cooked variants?

I have witnessed this problem on ATT ROM, HTC ROM, and a cooked ROM. I wonder what is causing this.

All of the above.

Same here with Helmi's Big Storage Clean Rom.

My ATT Rom with schen's HTC homescreen plug-in freezes too, although I think it did before I put it on. It won't accept screen taps for maybe 10 seconds or so, then resumes running fine.

I just performed a hard reset and am starting from scratch. My problems are directly related to PIE and large websites. I did that webview.dll hack thatI just did it to try it out, but I think that is when my major issues started happening. I'll see how things go now with the stock AT&T Rom without customization.

I've been noticing the same behavior, but I noticed it when I was running the stock AT&T ROM, so I'm not 100% positive it's related to HTC Home.
At first I thought it was just really crappy screen recognition, but I've been noticing it with the hard buttons as well, so I don't think it's related to the screen.

20 Softresets a day, solution?

I've got big problems with my Kaiser,
Almost everytime it falls in Standby mode, i can't reactivate it with the On/Off button. But the green LED is still blinking.
i've got the original HTC ROM 1.56.407.3
Does anybody have same problems? Or has anybody a solution for that problem.
It really bugs to restart it 20 times a day...

change to a different rom

and which one?

Any one...
I know it doesn't help and not very informative, but any of them sounds like it'd be better than what you have now.

I'm quite new here and have no idea which rom is good and stable.
Are there newer original ROMs from HTC?
Or which one would you propose?
I wood prefer one in German

if you want a stable rom try Sleuth's v1.1

is it in german?

Same happened to me some days ago... but I solved it with a hard reset. Now it works perfectly again.

Take a look at those 2 threads, maybe they help....

Soft Resets
Had the same problem, tried new ROM's, hard resets...etc..etc. Problem fixed by changing SIM card from a three (or four) year old sim to the latest available. Everything running perfectly now!

I'd agree, it's not the ROM. I'm using it since day 1 and haven't even needed a hard reset yet. I want to try Sleuth's but the stock is so stable I'm not feeling the need to jump. I'd check your SIM as mentioned and them maybe a hard reset and a carefull watch of what you install back on the phone to see if it's a rogue application.

dang my tytn 2 is soundless

I really had a bad day (past 2-3 days actually) my kaiser has lost sound, cant hear anything, no calls, no music, no system "bleeps", I did hard-reset, flashed diffrent rom, diffrent radio w/e
so its dead, well sound is...dead....
sux
but on the bright side, its a company phone
and since i need my phone, I got a new one.....company paid
got a touch cruise, great phone btw
wish my kaiser could have waited to fail untill diamond was out....
but, maybe someone have a bright idea on how to fix the sound?
cheers

Can't think of anything else; all the things i was going to suggest you have already tried maybe someone with a little more experience than me might be able to help.
Good luck though.

errrm, no, I have had the radio for a long time, and I reflashed the stock rom with default radio to check..
I flashed the new radio AFTER I got the problem, I have used same radio for 4-5 months with no issues at all.

Sameproblem
Hi, I've got the same problem here.
I flash to NoThrills Dutch (WM6.1) about a month ago..
Everything worked fine.
No problems at all
At one moment (yesterday) my phone rang. I pressed the green butten. The call was accepted but no sound. I hungup. Called the person back, no sound.
After that happend all sound was lost (speaker, windows media, coreplayer, etc, etc)
Then I performed a softreset. sound was working again. I called someone. Everything was ok. Then I hungup. and the sound was gone again.
So I performed a Hard reset.
Sound was OK till I accepted a call.. and the problem started all over again.
Then I performed a Radio ROM flash. I've tried the following versions:
KAIS_Radinly_1.27.12.11_CustomRUU
KAIS_Radinly_1.64.08.21_CustomRUU < This was my default radio after nothrills update.
POLAR_Radinly_1.58.21.23_CustomRUU.
This didn't solve the problem.
Any suggestions?
Keep in mind that before the problem occured I didn't perform any (rom)updates nor have I installed any software lately.
I perform a softreset every 2 days normally.

I also have the same problem and have been experiencing it on a number of rom/radio combinations. I have now flashed back to stock bootloader/rom/radio to see if it happens again - it did happen when I was just on stock rom/radion but using hard-spl.
There seems to be a few people now with this problem Unfortunately nobody of any particular knowledge to help fix it. Lots of people are making noises about incompatible radios but I know for a fact that I have been using compatible radios and still getting the problem. If it does it again now it will go back to HTC, but at a bit of a loss as to what is going on.

Yep, happened again.... hard resetting now again to see if happens on 'bare' device!

Yesterday I've flashed the nothrills rom twice. First time no luck. the second time everything functioned OK...
I hope it will stay working this time. If not it's back to HTC with the phone..

I am having the same issue starting 2-3 weeks ago. I am also having trouble with all phone functionality in general. The SMS, Phone call, internet. They all work intermittently. Sometimes it work but most of time it doesn't work. Now I am so frustrated that I am planning to take the phone back to vodafone to see whether they can replace mine.

Who here has had the issue that is using MSVC or S2U2, or both?

Hey everyone, watch http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=392606
for a similar discussion.
I think it's going to end up being S2U2.
H

It happened to me on the ATT Death Beta and I do not use S2U2...
Reverted back to L26 V4 Vanilla and all is well again...

I've tried most every ROM available on XDA with most every radio in the last 6 weeks (I used the compatible ones). I even went back to AT&T 6.0 ROM/radio. No luck. Unfortunately I probably can't return it to HTC as I bought my Tilt on ebay and unlocked it to use with T-Mobile... I don't use S2U2 and actually have very vague idea what it is.

I am seeing this on my stock AT&T ROM and Radio, but I am hard spl'd. This also popped up on me about 2 - 3 weeks ago and I can't shake it no matter what ROM I try, even stock.
It seems today I am good but I am not running anything on here - no HTC Home, no MS VC, no S2U2.
I am going to put MS VC on first and go ahead through the weekend to see what makes me break.
Not good news that people WITHOUT S2U2 are seeing this exact problem. I was hoping that was it.
Just to confirm, we have users that:
1.) Do NOT use S2U2
2.) Do NOT use MS VC
3.) DO have the problem where the phone will suddenly stop making sounds. Calling people, they cannot hear you, you cannot hear them. Only a soft reset helps and only then for a short while.
Can someone confirm they meet all of these criteria? If not, do we have people that hit 2 out of 3?

1.) Do NOT use S2U2
2.) Do NOT use MS VC
3.) DO have the problem where the phone will suddenly stop making sounds. Calling people, they cannot hear you, you cannot hear them. Only a soft reset helps and only then for a short while.
1.) Check
2.) Check
3.) Check.... But the soft reset doesn't help...

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.

Xperia Boot problems?

Hi guys, I have had my Xperia a few days now, it's a Vodafone that I hae flashed the Generic UK software to (without HardSPL) it seems to work ok but I am having a few problems. First of all, whether or not the phone will boot is hit and miss, it will get to the today screen and lock up as soon as the clock on the today screen loads. Hitting the reset switch under the cover will reboot it and it will generally boot fine, usually on every second boot.
Another problem I have is that Shell32.exe crashes a lot as does explorer.exe Shell32.exe seems to crash when installing and uninstalling applications, it does not always happen but it's happened a few times so far and is becoming irritating.
I am going to reinstall the firmware image and leave it a day or two without installing any apps to see if the problem is resolved. If anyone has any posible ideas I would appreciate it. Thanks.
Edit: I have renamed thread to remove the reference to boot problem with memory card inserted because after having removed the memory card the problem still persists so I gues it's unrelated.

Shell32.exe error
I also am having issue with shell32.exe crashing, the problem is repeatable everytime I go into the today screen options, as soon as I exit, regardles of which panel I went in from, shell32,exe crashes and I have to reboot the phone. Sometimes the only way to do so is to remove the battery. Any changes that I have made in the today screen do show up after the reboot. This is really annoying me now as shell32.exe is an important system process. Any thoughts, or shall I just hard reset.

R2AA
I'd make sure you're updated to the GENERIC UK R2AA ROM, if you're already on it, get a new copy of it from here, reformat your mem card and flash the phone again.
I seem to be OK now and not getting the shell32.exe crash anymore. Still having various other problems with it stopping responding (barely anything installed, and nothing really running) but not much more I can do, just learning to deal with it because i can't do with the stress of worrying about it. It's Windows, so expect it to suck.

i was on my R1A, had this problem, Hard reset it and the problem still exist...
Upgraded to the official R2AA10 and guess what? the problem is still there....
What is it that actually causing this problem? im planning on selling my X1 because this problem is so irritating....

Strange

Strangely, I stoppped having this problem a long time ago. I ran on R2A and R3A for a long time without any trouble now, I think it was due to a common program we were having installed because I use different programs than I used to and I havn't seen it happen since I last posted about having the problem.
Stick with a fresh install and see how it goes, install your apps slowly until it doesn't happen anymore.
I can't remember the exact programs I used to use but I have a feeling it was related to homescreen plugins or some such.
Let me know what programs you use maybe we can find a common denominator.

Strangely, the error always happen the FIRST time i install any program that uses today plugin...at first i thought it was SPB Wireless, then after another hard reset i installed Beejive, and the same error occurs...
Now mine is a little bit stable, mainly because i dont touch the today setting anymore....i (forcefully, despite the error ) installed Pocket digital clock, SPB Pocket Plus, and SPB wireless....
Its been fine for the last 2 days...without touching any of the today settings...

Well, I never used SPB wireless when i had that problem, but i did use Beejive, Vito Sound Explorer (has a today plugin) HomeScreen++ and Wisbar Advance Desktop (saw a few crashes with this). Saw the problems a lot back then.
When I only ran Homescreen++ I never saw the problem.
I am running 6.5 now so i can't test it for you I'm afraid to find the exact problem, but I'd certainly keep hold of your Xperia because it's definately just caused by a 3rd party app/plugin.

the weird thing is, i ran all my program above for about 4 months on my R1A and no problem occurred....everything was good.
Then i tried to install SPB phone suite, but the installation stopped at 3/4 because the software wasnt signed or something like that (strange, i got it from SPB site), and it just left me some today plugin but withoun any name...it was blank....my today plugin order was in a mess too...i soft reset, it was okay....but i soft reset it again later that day and thats when the problem happened...
I found it strange that it still happens after hard reset and even after Rom change...especially to ANY program that uses today plugin....weird...

Try using R2A_10 or later, I never had any problems from then on, I'm running gtrabs R3A/6.5 atm, although it hasa bunch oof problemsof its own.
