Before i begin: I apologise if this is a common issue, I have done a couple of searches but as i dont have access to a computer atm this was done on my kaiser - not very easy. There is therefore a very good chance i have missed the solution if there is one. Please don't flame if this is the case.
Hi, I'm have a constant problem with my kaiser where if i put it into standby it won't come back out. I have made no changes between it waking up successfully and it now not.
I originally had the stock 02-uk rom which never caused me any problems. I then decided to flash to dutty's rom which i'd heard nothing but good things about. this didn't suit me so i reflashed to confused stu's mob vista 1.2 within the day. i decided to stick with this rom. a week later and everytime my phone entered standby it was refusing to come out. the phone could still receive calls but wouldnt show any signs of ringing and wouldnt allow me to answer them. I decided that as i was about to hard reset anyway i'd flash to v1.3 of mob vista. about a week in again and i cant wake the device from standby.
this is beginning to become seriously annoying and time consuming. I'm not sure if its rom related. all i can say is it never happened on the O2 rom but has on both 1.2 and 1.3 of mob vista. I can't comment on dutty's as i didnt have it long enough.
if anyone knows of any existing threads related to this that would be helpful.
Thanks a lot.
Ok i kept searching and found this thread which has the solution.. i think.
Its to do with the USB advanced network funtionality. With it turned on the phone works fine, when its off the phone sticks in standby.
Does anyone know what causes this. I have always had it turned off as my computer doesn't like it and yet i havent had a problem until recently. would it be to do with WM6.1?
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
Hello everyone, I don't know if this is the right place for asking this, but I'm in quite a big problem.
I've had my HTC Diamond since December and I've flashed it to several different roms many times since then. Never had any problem at all.
But during the past two weeks my phone just started acting crazy. It would all of a sudden crash and even if I took out the battery and placed it in again, it wouldn't boot up. I'd have to wait until I got back home to flash the ROM again, so I could keep using the phone.
BUT the problem is that ever since then the ROM keeps hard-resetting itself every few hours. Sometimes it might last for a day or two without doing anything weird. But all of a sudden it might just crash, and when rebooting the phone would act as if it was the first time running the phone (you know, with the screen calibration, time settings and all... and then having to import all of my contacts and calendar again, not to mention any application).
This hard-reset also happens randomly when I turn the phone off and on again. Sometimes it loads up normally, sometimes it goes to factory settings again.
Now, I wouldn't be so worried if this wasn't happening WITH EVERY SINGLE ROM that I'm trying. Both Windows Mobile 6.1 and 6.5 roms. Even those that I've used in the past without any problem. They all hard-reset themselves at some point or crash and get unable to boot until I flash another ROM again.
I've also tried fully hard-resetting the phone myself -both the phone memory and the internal memory- and even flashing different Hard-SPLs and Radios.
It still goes on the same though.
Anyone has any suggestions?
Or is my phone dead forever now?
Thanks in advance for the help!
Have you tried to instal stock roms? If they work, install cooked rom with the same version as stock. Might help.
I have the same problem since a few days... Have you solved it yet?
I'm having extactly the same strange issues... Does anyone have any idea on why this is happening? I'm going out crazy!
This happens sometimes after you've installed numerous ROM's.
You'll need to use an app called 'Mtty' to sort out the problem, then flash ROM again and it should work fine.

Look on google/do some research before using to make sure you understand what it is mtty.exe is, and how to use it.
thank you for your quick answer cymru, but i resolved flashing a stock rom and then reflashing the cooked one ad suggested by kosherpig.
Bye!
I'm not sure if it a freezing problem or it just won't accept any input
Basically after my Kaiser has been on charge overnight I will get around to using it and can't. What will happen is the screen & buttons will not work, although they can be used for a split second every 3 seconds.
After a reset everything is back to normal, so I'm not sure what the problem is, I don't have a lot of programs installed and only 1 has been install in the past month which is A2DP Today Toggle, so far I've un-installed it and left it again but I still have the problem.
Thanks for any help
I have a similar problem. In the morning i have to soft rest the phone for it to work. Issues started after 6.5 upgrade. There must a solution somewhere in here..........
Does a hard reset fix the problem? Does this happen with every ROM you've tried?
I have only stuck with the official rom, I bought it on 6.0 and then updated to 6.1 after it's release. A hard reset does fix it but some time after it will return, bear in mind this has never done it previously just about a month ago.
I guess it might be a issue with some program that is being installed
Ok, A few months ago I got an old(ish) Tilt. It was heavily used and I wanted to install a fresh operating system. I figured if I am going to flash it I might as well instal WM6.5 on it (it had 6). So far so good. I got HardSPL on it, flashed my ****, all good. My phone was working fine. My issue is in the fact that after a few hours though, the phone will slow down or die or something and I will restart it, and then it will not pass the splash screen. At first I figured I bricked it because I tried one to many ROMs and maybe one was bad. I left my phone alone only for a few months later be in a need of a phone so I searched all over these forums, googled my problems, and found out I can actually flash my phone without starting it by pressing the power and camera buttons. I started doing that, going through tens of ROMs but tey all seem to have the same problem. After a certain amount of time they will not boot up again. I unlocked my phone, I even tried cooking my own rom which failed. I am just lost. Why wont any of these ROMs last for more then a few hours?
The phone is am HTC Tilt, HTC Kaiser, It has been unlocked using the KaiserUnlocking utility, has HardSPL, and right now has WM6.1 on it because I needed it to unlock. I am not certain if 6.1 has these same problems as this will be the first time I have installed it. All I am wondering about is why wont these ROMs last after a few resets and a few hours of use. Is there some "anti-piracy" thing built in the kills them? I don't even know. Please if anyone knows anything and can help me out, all I want is a clean, vanilla if you will, phone that doesn't need to be constantly re-flashed. I need a working phone. Preferably WM6.5 but at this point I will settle for anything that isn't too unstable and slow.
