For some reason the "thinking/waiting" animation continues to pop up. Soft resents don't work. I have done a couple of hard resets to start from scratch. It just keeps coming on for 2 seconds and then disappears for about five.
Have you experienced anything similar? how do I fix it?

We need to know what you actually mean.(soz to sound patronising but this is a world wide forum and I have only just got used to 'Tethering'...)
OK, I assume you mean the busy icon (rotating symbol like the hourglass from old windows).
Do you have any automatic mail checks or any other app's that require data access running in the background? (as they will not work without the following) do you have a working internet setup?
Let the guys know these things and someone here will surely help you...
It seems like that pesky Activesync activating. Next time that happens, go look at your taskbar. Most likely its Activesync "activating".
Sometimes it happens too me a gazillion times a day. Sometimes it never happens at all. Still trying to figure that thing out.
To clarify, I am referring to the rotating red/green/yellow/blue circle. Here are the explicit details:
Unlocked TyTN II (ROM version 1.56.405.5)
3G At&T SIM I have a std voice plan and the unlimited media net internet plan
After the last hard reset I installed
Pocket Informant 2007
Memmaid
Resco Explorer
SPB Pocket Plus
I have a hotmail and gmail account setup to check the servers frequently, although that was the case before this started also.
The circle animation appears in flight mode also.

OH WOW....
review your startup apps, use a file explorer and browse to /windows/startup. List for us what is starting up in there.
Unfortunately, i just isolated the cause of that friggin wait animation. I uninstalled SPB Plus 4 and now it is gone....Here is my new problem:
I love SPB Plus!!
What do I do now?
what options of PP4 did you have turned on. I use PP4 and that never happens so it's something in your config.

Well you've grabbed smitty now who will sort ANY network prob out.. I'm off cause he blows me away in this area..
I'm just general stuff and GPS so I know when I am not wanted..SOB! BIG SMILES...
I had all of the options ticked in PP4. I guess the most important to me is the today plugin and the x close app. I will reinstall those and leave everything else out and see what happens.
This kind of sucks.
hmmm... after reinstall PP4, try this:
First, check the options you want and see if the same things happens. If it's not doing it, then maybe it was a bad reg entry on install.
if it's still doing it, then go to settings > system > task manager and make sure everything is unchecked.
My thought process on this is maybe you have the Close button from PP4 and the built-in task manager trying to compete.
Let us know...
i installed the Today Plugin, Close Button, Taskbar Battery Indicator and PIE Enhancements. It looks like smittyofdhs saved the day.
Thanks a lot, guys.

was it just a reinstall that fixed it or did you do something more? It helps to list out what steps you took to fix the problem, for the sake of future users of this forum
glad to hear it's working again....
As simply an enthusiast, not an expert, I am guessing that your advice was the solution. I don't think the reinstall by itself resolved it.
I would say that the original issue stemmed from conflict between the built in HTC task manager and the PP4 x-button.
I uninstalled pp4. Before reinstalling I disabled all function of the HTC task manager. Then I reinstalled only the PP4 today plugin, battery meter, x-button and PIE stuff.
When I have more time, I will uninstall pp4 and reinstall all of the pp4 components as i believe that the issue is isolated as described above.
Thanks again. you saved Christmas.

Hi Smitty,
I don't think it is the PP4 close button as I have also encountered the problem after installing version 4.0.2. I have always disabled the close button and battery indicator of PP4 as I used WKTask and pwrstat respectively.
As the busy indicator only showed on the Today screen and I have only 3 plugins activated (PP4, HTC Home and Calendar), I disabled the plugins one by one and found that PP4 is the one causing the problem.
Checking the options of PP4, I disabled the "Refresh icons in today plug-in when storage card is inserted." option. The problem disappeared. However, when I enabled back the option, I was unable to simulate back the problem.
Until now, I still have that option on but the problem has not manifest again.

glad you fixed your own issue. In ellistyle's case, my solution helped him. Maybe they are 2 different issues caused by the same app. Either way, everyone is happy with their fix.

Recently I've noticed that reminders which I set up in calendar events have stopped working. Basically, I get no alarm sound, no notification, no nothing. Like I'd never set that reminder up. :-o But at the same time clock alarms are working OK - just these in calendar don't...
I've tried to check notifications queue, clear it up from duplicates using ScaryBear Check Notifications, restart Kaiser - still no luck. I have no idea what to do to get my reminders working again. Any suggestions, anyone?
I'm having the same problem. Also, the voice command works but it continues to repeat the announcement over and over. I've tried pretty much everything I can think of. Did you get any help?
Same here
Any fix to this problem? I got the same thing here. Missed a couple of meetings because of this..
Updates to WM 6?
Any solutions? This is now getting really 'alarming'. Is this a WM 6 issue, and isn't one of the most used features of a smartphone/pocket PC its alarm functionality?
A solution is urgently called for.
Try cleaning up the notification queue using MemMaid
There's a demo version.
Download pmclean from pocketmax.net and use it to clean notifications.
It is freeware!
I've tried pmclean, it does clean up the notification queue, but that doesn't solve the problem of no sounds for reminders and notifications.
I hesitate to try a paid program like memmaid, since people have reported that the problem is not resolved even after using memmaid.
I find it hard to believe that Microsoft is releasing an OS that does not provide robust alarm functionality. But is it possible they have done so?
Possible, certainly.
But do try out MemMaid, they have a demo version.
Memmaid Tried
Bought memmaid v.2 and deleted all the notification que stuff. NO CHANGE. Calendar reminders still not working..GRRRRRRRRRRR
Can someone who have solved this issue soon read this que and report a solution ?
I ran into a similar issue recently, so maybe it can help you.
Do you have QuickMenu installed? If so, are you showing the battery meter on the task bar and in all programs? If you do have this set it may be the cause of your issue. Try unchecking the box to show in all titles, and see if this fixes it.
Hope this helps.
I am now experiencing this. :-(
Did anyone ever find a fix?
Thanks
Only with existing notifications?
Hi,
I do have this issue also. But only with existing notifications. When i make a new calendar item with a reminder, the notfication works.
After i've cleaned the notification queue with memaid (duplicate, dangling, expired and invalid notifications), not a single existing notification is working. But after setting the reminder again (first, set reminder to none, save, and then set reminder again) the notification is working again.
I'm testing now with memaid, which has a rebuild notification queue function. I'm hoping this function will help.
Greetz, Creda
i'm getting this problem now. my phone has been working great until this happened yesterday. i've already hard reset and it occured again approximately 6 hours later. i then fixed it using memmaid but now it's occured again. it seems when i sync to my computer it jacks it up. any fixes?
Cingular 8125
Original OEM ROM
regular applications
Add me to the list.
I have had the free plugin 'Today Agenda' but I disabled it and still have problems.

Thanks guys ...
I'm sure this isn't the first time this has been a problem here. I've tried searching and found nothing.
I installed the XDA-Live 1.2... installed flawlessly. Installed the other apps I wanted, everything was working like a charm. Now suddenly I get no audible notifications on either email or SMS even though I have them set correctly. This just started yesterday and I installed the new ROM almost a week ago.
I've checked every setting I can think that would interfere with this and I just can't figure it out. Any ideas?
Here's what I have installed:
AT&T Tilt with the XDA-Live 1.2 ROM
Softkey app
Shantz Today Changer
Battery Status
Mobitv & XM Radio
Google Maps
Telenav
HTC Home Plugin & Customizer
HTC Task Manager
Wireless Today Plugin
IM+
SPB Pocket Plus
Pocket Controller
Mortscript
Pocket Cleaner
Auto Softreset
PIM Backup
SPB GPRS Monitor
I think that's it. Like I said, I've had all this installed since last week except SPB GPRS Monitor and Pocket Cleaner. Those were installed about 2 days ago. Notifications were working after that.
I'm just at a loss. Any ideas?
If this is a stupid answer then apologies but have you tried a soft reset?
That can do the trick if notifications have suddenly given up the ghost.
Not a stupid question, I should have included that I've tried that as well. Thanks anyhow!
did you install vibra, the tool that allows you to turn on vibrate with a button press?
I didn't. I don't have either email or SMS set to vibrate either. Just the sound notifications. I'm really perplexed by this.
This may be another stupid troubleshoot but most problems are normally overlooking settings
Make sure in Sounds and notifications, in the sound tab that Events, Programs and its subgroup notifications are checked. And then in the notification tab make sure play sound is selected!
And don't forget to make sure system sound[i.e. not on vibrate, silent, and/or volume is raised to an audible level] is up too!
If all else fails, a hard reset should resolve the issue, it could possibly be a missing reg key mistakenly deleted.

I agree, hard reset if all else fails and put you app cabs back on one at a time, see if all is OK then move onto the next.
It colud be a conflict with one or more of them.

Just thought I'd update. I hard reset with the XDA-Live 1.2 again. Before adding anything else, I created my mail account (Not an Outlook account) and then tested notifications on email and SMS. SMS is working perfectly once again. The emails aren't getting any notifications at all, no matter what I set. Strange but I can live with it. At least my SMS is back.

But on the serious note. Yeah I've tried every sound file I have. I've tried no sound and just vibrate. I've tried nothing but the message window. It adds the emails and I can see the HTC today screen add the new mail but nothing else. It's very odd.

Nope, I was sure to test this before adding anything other than the XDA-Live 1.2 ROM. I have no idea what's up with it but I can live with it as long as the SMS is working, which it is.
And I should mention, last week when I had initially added the XDA ROM, it worked after that so it's not a conflict in the ROM.
There is a serious bug with the built in phone app , I was wondering whether any of you are suffering this.
When you dial a number manually and hit the arrow to delete one of the digits, the phone goes berzerk, starts dialing loads of 0pw00's and locks up.
Same happens when scrolling through the contacts on the phone app (not the standard contacts app) and tapping the forward hardkey to change from say a Mobile number to a Home number for the listed contact
Nop just tried it all is good.
Not experienced that problem, but i have experienced another problem in the phone app.
when you select a contact in the phone app, and push either left or right on the scroll wheel to select the next available number in the contact, i.e. business, home, mobile2, etc, it will just keep scrolling until you reset the phone. really annoying if you want to select a number other than the default number for the contact.

happens here also but only if i try changing the number with the "go right" button. "go left" works. interesting because it is the third ROM and in all 3 of them i had the same problem.
My problem go so worse that I could not press any hardware buttons in the phone app. Sadly I had to hard reset. Now the problem has disappeared, but I have yet to install any apps onto my device..

Got the same problem on the call history but not all the time
French rom 1.37.406.1
Got another two annoying bugs:
- the clock that show minutes after minutes non stop (1Minute per second)
- a part of screen not updating on the SMS/MMS application
Okay the bug has returned sadly... After I spent hours reinstalling all of my apps.
The problem is not limited to the phone app, it happens when I tap any key on the SIP or press any hardware button - a bunch of text is pasted.
I created a txt document and tapped a button so I could copy all of the crap it pastes,
it is attached
This is driving me nuts and makes the phone unusable. Im certain this is the fault of software rather than hardware. Can anyone help?

To me it seems like one of the 3rd party apps that you installed is causing this. If it was me, after a hard reset I would test it after installing each app to find the guilty one.

Same here. But luckily I don't have to reset the phone. By pressing some buttons randomly I get it out of the loop. But it's annoying all the same! Doesn't happen every time though... that's quite strange. Don't know why it goes wrong, so I can't do anything about it.
i have the same problem!! hope the coming new rom can help!
Could be a third party app, I thought. So curiously I went through my installed apps list. First on the list was remote desktop mobile (the new version with the device mapping feature which doesnt actually work) - So, I uninstalled that and voila, the bug has disappeared.
Bad news is that I really need remote desktop. Perhaps I installed a bad CAB. Anyone have a decent cab that is proven to work?

AGREED!
How do you know whats what? I mean if you kill a process you could cause a reset/freeze right?
From what I have seen, it can kill the process for a particular program but it still runs in the background and will possibly crash the phone. Hasn't happened yet but might after trying more programs. The only way it might lock up the entire phone is if you close one of the "stock background processes such as android.process.* " but then again... yes we still need something to kill the entire application. It's a good bit different that WM, when you kill the process for the application, then the application closes.

i hate to correct you but the process' are the applications. you mean Services' which are not listed as of yet... i emailed arron and i have not gotten a reply about that. i told him it would be awesome to list the process' and services linked to them so we could kill it all
Looks like the application was updated and it now kills programs! Excellent application, definitely one the best around now.
Questions about TASK MANAGER?
I have it installed on my g1, obviously because I have root access. I noticed there are some apps that keep coming back seconds after I terminate them. For example Craigslist and self help. Anyone know why craigslist keeps coming back. I understand selfhelp may be a background program. Also I restarted my phone and taskmanager shows these programs are already running? Whats up with that?
The 2nd question is when I terminate some apps like powermanager for example, I can still see it running in my notifications and I know it is still running because when I plug in the g1 my power setting are applied. Because it doesn't show it in the in the taskmanager list.
Does anyone else notice this? Task manager doesnt seem to eliminate some apps from running. It makes question that it really works. Can anyone verify this?

Yea it keeps coming back because it loads a Service that isn't listed on this program that continues to run the search command. The intervals are not that frequent but it keeps it loaded.
Craigslist checks every few minutes for postings, I believe. You can track particular posts. It's annoying that you can't disable it.

(what the heck is that with message too short?!)
This is driving me nuts. I set up my new s10 by signing in to my Google account and choosing to restore my Pixel 3 XL backup. All the apps and everything downloaded just fine, but the blue light filter that I had scheduled for 10pm to 6am on the Pixel has apparently followed me to the S10. The only problem is that I have no way to disable it. It shows as off in the settings even though it clearly turns on at 10pm. If I manually change the clock to say 7pm, the filter turns off, but the whole time, the settings show that it's off. Enabling it in settings while it is already active results in a slightly more red blue light filter, that's it. Short of doing a factory reset and setting it up as a new device, I can't think of any way to fix it. I've even tried turning off the setting on my Pixel to no avail. Any ideas?
I had the same issue.
Download an application called Activity Launcher.
You will need to find the activity that is linked to night shift, I can't remember the name on the top of head but it will be pretty obvious when you will see it.
Samsung apparently decided to scratch away the stock feature by just creating their own one and removing the stock one's setting entry. However it's still there, and still working as long as you can manually launch the activity and it activate automatically if you had a schedule created on another device.
Funily enough that allows you to get even stronger effect by combining both features at the same time.
Check your nightlight settings in the Google Play Books App. Set that to 0 and it should fix the issue.

Samsung apparently decided to scratch away the stock feature by just creating their own one and removing the stock one's setting entry. However it's still there, and still working as long as you can manually launch the activity and it activate automatically if you had a schedule created on another device.
Funily enough that allows you to get even stronger effect by combining both features at the same time.

Thank you! Thank you! Thank you!
This was driving me crazy when I upgraded to the OneUI 3.0 Beta on my S10+

Can confirm this worked for me on S20 with info transferred from a Pixel 2 XL. The color shift was so subtle I thought I was imagining it at first! Thanks for the fix.

I am having the same issue with my newly bought 2 days old Xiaomi 11T. I transferred everything from my previous phone Xiaomi Mi A1 and I had Night Light scheduled to turn on at 11:30 p.m. and off at 7:00 a.m. But now there is no NIGHT LIGHT feature on Xiaomi 11T but the screen automatically turns yellow when the schedule starts and turns back to normal at 7 a.m. Please help me with this. I tried installing Activity Launcher, but I couldn't find the setting you are talking about. I also have both, schedule and reading mode turned off in the settings, but this still happens due to settings brought from the old phone.
Please help me out.

Check your nightlight settings in the Google Play Books App. Set that to 0 and it should fix the issue.

Think that's the same app that boned me. It alters a hidden user setting that remains after you uninstall it.
Unclean uninstall... Gookill sucks.
The way I fixed it was to reinstall it, change that setting, uninstall. Over a year later still on that same OS load, A-ok.
OP: don't use SmartSwitch when migrating to a different device especially for apps. Do a clean load... more *surprises* are likely waiting for you.
Do not trust SmartSwitch with critical data... I use it for homepage settings only where if it fails it's no big deal.
I have a Galaxy s21 ultra and I spent the last month so furious that I couldn't get the blue light filter to stop coming on at sunset until I saw this post and downloaded activity launcher and found the night light setting
Thank you so much to everybody who responded here
God am I happy I wasn't the only one with this problem. Thank you guys so much for finding a fix, I just got a z fold 3 and updated from the Pixel 3XL so I had the exact same issue.
