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 ...

HTC Diamond shuts down if there is no network - any help?

This is my las try, I posted this message twice in the XDA forum.
I guess if no one having this issue I'll not bother folks with this again and will try to leave with it...
The problem goes like this, when I'm out of cellular reception area the phone shuts down and the only way to turn it back up is to remove and put back the battery.
I suspect this is some sort of strange power saving setting gone wrong.
Any idea on what can I do about it? Registry settings or something?
ROM: 1.93.831.1

Well, without knowing any better I've have to guess it was a problem with the Radio ROM. Are you using .08 or .11 radio version? If so, I'd try 0.5 - it seems to be the most stable for the majority of people here. I had heaps of problems (random freezes/crashes) when using 0.8 or 0.11 that forced me into a battery removal fix quite a few times...
If you've upgraded your Radio ROM (by itself) then most people suggest doing a hard reset afterwards, even though you don't *have* to, so make sure you try that...

It happes to my diamond too. Now i've got the lastest rom with latest radio (05) and in a week it happened only one time (before it happens a lot of time during a single day..)..
I've buy a new battery today just to be sure that it not a battery problem. I'll let you know in the next days.
By the way in my case i've see that the phone does not shut down when goes out of signal, but before shutting down i hear a short sound than the signal is missed and then the phone shutdown. Many times i need to wait a lot of minutes to power on the diamond. I've also try to froze the battery in this cases and like a kind of magic it's possibile to power on immediatly the baby. (this is why i've bought a new battery...)

I do also experience this problem, after upgraded my ROM to 1.93.831.1, when I'm out of cellular reception area the phone shuts down by itself.
I bought it to HTC service centre, they say no problem was found but they reload the Rom and replaced a new battery.
The problem still persist when i enter a no Network area, the phone automatically shut down again ...
Any idea on what can I do about it?
Please advise .....

Ummhh. Having the same problem here! Read a PDA Magazine and it says all bugs from Diamond have been removed and thats why Diamond 2 is released!

***BUMP***
Need a fix quick please!
@mod: please can you sticky this for a few day?

found the problem... sent it off two tmobile and they just took the handset not the battery...
they said they found no problem and made no changes.... i received the phone after 1 month and i put the battery in and it worked fine... used it with my car charger and started again so i left the battery out of the phone for 2 days then tried and works fine now.....

Grey screen of death?

Does anyone experience "Grey Screen of Death"??
Every couple of days my Diamond crashes, the screen is stuck displaying a noisy grey screen.
Most likely I will have to reinstall the ROM (I'm using SwiftBL 5.5) ... but if there is a simpler solution out there I'd love to know it,
Thanks,
Mike

I've seen that kind of screen but only when I'm playing a particular game and if I switch the Diamond off before closing the game down; when I next switch it on I get the noisy (mostly) grey screen. When this happens to me though I just need to toggle the power on and off a couple of times and it sorts itself out. Or just not switch the thing off when playing that game of course.
None of which helps you of course as yours sounds like a much more serious and randomly occurring issue.

never heard of it before. try changing to a different Hard SPL, these can have funny effects sometimes.

Thanks for reply. Well, at least I'm not alone.
Mine is more worrying alright. I left the Diamond in standby last night, it wasn't running any apps before that, and the phone didn't wake me up with my normal alarm as it had crashed sometime during the night, not doing anything in particular.

do you notice it get unusually hot at any time?
with some diamonds, when it is processing a lot and on charge it can get very hot, and this may have caused ur problem.

Maybe the Hard SPL will help.
One possibly odd thing I notice is that my ROM is listed as 1.93.00.00 on the bootup screen, I expected this to be 1.93.405.1. Is that usual?

It's not the hot or charging possibilities.
I can't find a pattern really, it definitely crashes just sitting there doing nothing.

Does this also happen with a stock rom?

I didn't see it on the stock rom, but that didn't last too long in my diamond and I've been running the Swift one for a couple of months now.

To rule out SPL and radio, you could try different versions there. If that doesn't help, try flashing another rom (maybe also the stock rom).
If this still doesn't get rid of the GSOD, I would send the phone back for repairs.
Sorry, I couldn't be of more help...

Good suggestions, thanks. At least there's something to try without flashing whole rom.

mine is the same, seems to only do it when phone is charging but idle overnight, and certainly not hot when it does it. I am running the stock 1.93 ROM. Maybe it just gets bored lol!

Then mine was very bored.
Always restarted itself during the night - and lost half the battery charge while doing so.
Had it repaired twice and now it works great. They told me it was a software problem, but I wonder what they fixed, because I have flashed the same SPL, radio and rom on my phone as before.

Glad you fixed it. Mine was ordered on the cheap from HK (to Ireland) so I'm reluctant to send it back except in dire need.
I often see it get very hot around the crash time, as if some app is running crazy, would explain the low battery.

BTW, what rom, spl, radio do you use?

I had the same exact problem up till a week ago.
Now I'm happily a satisfied Diamond user. To solve this issue, do either of the following:
1. Find a rom with a newer Manila version, e.g. Dutty > v2.6.
2. Install the latest Manila cab.
Changing hard spl doesnt work, as I had tried them all. Stock rom was more acceptable but the problem still occurs once in a while.
I had changed to Dutty's rom more than a week ago I haven't had the problem ever since. Try it and share with us if it works.
Reason I say its due to Manila is becos Dutty is using a newer version of Manila as compared to the rest.

Oooh, tasty. A confirmed software method of fixing the problem! I'll give that a go and observe the phone for a week. I'll post then if all is well.
Many thanks,
Mike

I'm running Olinex HardSPL 1.93, Radio BS14 and O2 Germany stock rom 1.93.207.2.
I hope knave's solution will do the trick for you.

Hi...
This just append to my phone sometime tonight..!
A left it charging over night ... like I always do..
and when I wake up... there's just a gray screen of death!
I've just flashed my first cooked rom... had stock HTC ROM before...
and my TF3D version is 1.2.35091.2_1813.6..
maybe this was just a freak accident... one time happening??
lets wait and see...

i'm backing up my phone at the moment to hard reset it later. i've got the problem, that in opera when the page (spiegel.de especially) is fully loaded and it idles for 5 secs, the screen turns grey with stripes and blocks slowly. after hitting power on/off 2 times it's normal again, but as soon as it's idling for 5 secs it fades to grey again.
must have messed up something while updating opera

HELP! I've looked through a thousand+ posts...

I recently falshed the new WM6.1 ROM from the HTC website. The only problem I can't seem to get around is when the phone is locked and put in sleep mode, a few seconds later the screen will flash white for a second. And then periodically blink white. Mainly I don't want to waist precious battery life. Its now driving me insane. I've looked and searched for hours on hours and can't find anything like this.
I've hard reset, soft rest. Got rid of the bloatware. But still got this blink.
Any help would be greatly appreciated!
Thanks in advance!

I've came across this several times with many 6.1 roms. I am not sure if a fix exists. However, this has never bothered me. I simply click the power button twice and the blinking stops. Hope this does the same for you.
All The Best.

Same thing happens to me. I will be watching to see what the response is. Bugs me too. No idea how many times that's happening while it's in my pocket or something - not good for battery life and can't be good for the screen either...

As already mentioned several WM 6.1 ROMs suffers from screen flashes relating to power management issues. Using the latest HTC WWE WM 6.1 ROM the TyTN II will occasionally require two button presses to come out of power saving mode.
If you were happy/happier with the WM 6.0 ROM complain to your ROM provider and if necessary request it be reverted (or read up here and once you know whats required, do it yourself). I don't see any 'new' official ROMs coming for this device now it's comparitively elderly, so I think it'll be up to you to come up with a solution.

HTC has provided an HotFix for that issue at :
AT&T Tilt WM 6.1 Backlight HotFix
But Truely speaking, I installed and it didn't worked for me.
It might work for you, so just give a try.
Regards,

Thanks guys. I'll try the double push of the power button and see if it works, if not I live with it a little longer, till I go mad.
If I can't take it anymore I'll just re-flash to a different ROM.
Once again, thanks for the replies.
By the way the BACKLIGHT HotFix didn't work for me either. I think thats mainly to fix issues with the backlight timer always reverting back to 10 seconds, no matter what the user setting is.

Strange problem (phone hard-resets itself)

Hey everyone, I had a recent issue (not sure if it's still there) and was wondering if anyone could shed some light on what's going on. Anyway here's what happened:
I have had my Diamond for almost 2 months, I flashed a new ROM cause the one I was using (Franlov V3) was running a bit slow, I used DIBB v1.33, flashed, hard-reset and it was working ok but then it froze (or was really sluggish) so I reseted, and the phone took the reset as a hardreset, weird stuff, when it booted it was incredibly sluggish, so I turned it off, when I turned it on, bam, another hardreset. And well it pretty much entered a hardreset cycle.
I thought it was a problem with DIBB's ROM so I changed to another ROM and whenever I reseted ,the phone hardreseted. And this has been going on with multiple ROMs.
I searched and found a possible solution: leave the phone overnight without battery then reflash HardSPL, Radio and ROM, I did that yesterday...and had the same issue, till I flashed Dutty's 3.6, the only problem now is that drop-down lists, don't drop down. Any help (so it doesn't happen again) would be really appreciated.

I have the same problem
¿Did you solve it?
