I searched and couldn't find anything on this. I'm running one of Dutty's older roms. The exact one I am not sure of. It has the cube and all. Anyhow, I was trying to find a good onscreen qwerty keyboard and I installed the HTC Touch Keyboard + Keypad from Dutty's sight. Things were going fine all day now it seems as if i can no longer access my text or emails from any of the possible links. Really odd. If any one has a clue as to what's causing this that would be awesome. Oh I uninstalled the cab but this didn't help. Thanks!
usually when I have a problem and I've tried everything I can think of to fix it, I hard reset. Unless you have a ton of programs installed and customized options, hard reset.
to hard reset your device (this will wipe it clean by the way) press and Hold both soft keys while inserting your stylus into the soft reset hole. you'll get a screen with instructions on what to do next.
Yeah I have a bunch of things i'd hate to lose. Thanks though, i'll keep that as a last resort.
if you download and install "Sprite Backup" it will save your entire phone settings including customization, cab installs, and just about everything else. So that way you can hard reset and then just load up sprite backup to restore everything.

My TytnII freezes every time I turn on Bluetooth. The only way I can unfreeze it is by hard reset. Even after hard reset I can't turn on bluetooth without freezing the phone again. I have tried numerous ROMs but the problem remains. I would like to try uninstalling and reinstalling WM6. Can anyone tell me how to uninstall WM6?
Any other suggestions on how I can solve the Bluetooth problem would be most welcome. Thanks
By doing a hard reset you are reinstalling WM6. Are you installing any other apps that may be causing the problem.
I installed and removed some programs which caused my start menu to go funny.
Only way to solve this was a hard reset.
Press and hold the two soft keys with a - marked on them and then press the reset button on the bottom of the device with the stylus.
This will reset the whole device and you will loose all information, data, settings you have put onto or programmed into the device.#
I did this and left it as it should be out the box from the network

I think I cleared out everything before hard resetting. I used clear storage before the hard reset. I am sure I have hard reset correctly- using softkeys and reset hole-went to a white screen with blue print. I can only think that the version of WM6 in factory reset has become corrupted, hence my wish to uninstall. Thanks
Unlikely that your factory ROM got corrupted, but you can't UNINSTALL. You can only flash a the factory ROM again - do a search and you'll find the links to the factory ROMs for download. Better yet, flash to a cooked rom in the Upgrade forums, they're MUCH better!
Start > Settings > System > Remove Programs

Later, Lew
I would say that if bluetooth locks your phone on different ROMS and after HARDRESET then its not a software issue as you have killed the software by installing ROMS and Hard Reset..
AH, didn't catch that he'd already tried different ROMs.
Have you tried different radio's? Don't think it'll help but...
Likely is time to send in for repair!
I know this is my first post here but I've done my best to search the forums and I haven't found anything that looks like it helps me.
I just got my AT&T Tilt yesterday. It came unlocked (I'm using it with T-Mobile) and has an HTC ROM installed as well as various other apps (Ms. Pacman, TomTom 6, SuperDoku, etc.). I had some issues with it locking up yesterday (similar to what I'm experiencing now but to a much, much lesser degree) when I was playing around with it but those issues somehow corrected themselves.
This morning I installed the Tilt keyboard fix that TaurusBullba posted on here back in June to fix some mapping issues. Since I installed and soft reseted, everything has been going kinda haywire. The Wi-Fi turned itself off and I can't turn it back on. When I slide out the keyboard the orientation stays in portrait mode. When I try to shut down the phone using the power button it hangs forever. Now, actually, half the time I press the power button nothing happens at all.
I've tried uninstalling the CAB but that didn't fix anything at all. I'm afraid to try a hard reset because, from my understanding, I'm going to lose everything that came pre-installed on my phone for me. I should probably also add that last night I installed the Google Maps CAB with no problems whatsoever. Is there some simple solution I'm overlooking? Thanks much!
I would advise that if you have tried soft resets to try and resolve the issues and it hasn't worked, then perhaps a hard reset?
It sounds as if the software you have installed as either caused the problems or exacberated them (ie made them worse).
With hard reset it wipes everything back to when you got it. If you are able I would suggest that you plug it into the computer and make sure ActiveSync backups up your contents. You may also want to use this get all the files on the main memory either to the storage card or to you're PC.
As this is yo're first post I don't know how au fait you are with the above that I have mentioned
The preloaded apps will be reloaded again. You won't have an empty ROM if you do a hard reset. It will be as if you just flashed the ROM again.
Thanks for the replies guys. I went ahead and did a hard reset and it looks like the only thing I lost (or at least the only thing I miss) was TomTom. I've already reinstalled that using a link I found on here, and everything seems to be good to go.
I still have no idea what might have caused the problems though, so I'm afraid that they might come back or I might repeat some dumb mistake I made. I guess I'll just have to live with that for now.
clear storage / hard resets no big deal, just expect to do it every other week while you're finding all the cabs that work (or dont work) for you..
I generally clear storaged every week when i first got my tilt until I found all the app's I liked that didn't have side effects
my tilt is starting to get a mind of its own rings some times and not others, an goes slow.
the screen is set to stay on all the time but keeps going to sleep this is anotying when searching for bluetooth devices as if i dont keep pressing a button it goes off then it loses the search results
can i reset the machine but not have to re install all my apps?
Do a soft reset. Use the stylus and press into the small hole located beside the stylus location. If it does not work you'll have to do a hard reset, but you will loose your personal data if you don't backup them.
Give a look to the manual ...
Word of advice...
I had the same issue last week. Had to hard reset. works fine now.
If you have never backed up your files for a hard reset, be careful while using Sprite bkup. DO NOT have a lock code set when you back up. It will not remember your PIN when you restore, and you will have to hard reset again and start from scratch!!! Also my experience with Sprite did not restore Email properly. So I found deleting email settings before back up MUCH easier. Kaiser sets up most automatically anyway.
A lot of people here recommended
PIM backup. Search u will find.
Good luck!
Suddenly my Sprint HTC Touch Diamond is running extremely slow. TouchFlo 3D will not start. Various things runs extremely slowly like tapping on the start menu takes like 20-30 seconds to come up.
Rebooted several times. Turned off TouchFlo. Phone's still as slow as molasses?
What to do? Flash the ROM? If so, which I'd hate to do, where do I get the original Sprint based ROM?
Update: For some reason \Windows\manilla.exe never gets run. If I run it by hand then Touch Flo comes up. But it's still kinda slow.
Who/What starts manilla.exe?
Simply do a hard reset, this will reset everything back to original rom as in a factory reset.

That would be wonderful if I didn't customize things. But I have - heavily. And I'll need to reinstall all my apps. I was hoping not to do that...

But this is the most likely reason it is running slowly... Needs a hard reset and start again - and be judicious with what you re-install.
Before doing a hard reset, have you tried a soft reset??
A soft reset for heavy users is almost required dally in some cases to release the memory from being attached to programs and the OS which is consider to be called "Memory Leaks." A typical problem for all 6.1 Roms.
This slow and sometimes unresponsive behaviour was what also experience as well. There are programs that help memory find it's home but sometimes a good old fashion soft reset is what's needed.
Last thing: Make sure that when you have flashed a new ROM to ALWAYS do a HARD RESET immediately. Not sure if you followed that procedure in your last flash. IF not, I'm afraid a soft reset might not be sufficient to remedy this issue for you.

This is exactly what I was trying to avoid. A computer doesn't suddenly go from running OK to dog slow when you have not changed anything (I only rebooted/soft reset). The running of manilla.exe doesn't suddenly disappear.
Everything I install I install for a reason.

Daily! If not hourly. WinMo is not known for being stable.

I'm well versed in what memory leaks are. 'Round here we call them bugs. Being in the business for some 30 years now I can tell you that having to reboot an OS periodically is a sign of an extremely buggy OS. Unfortunately that's what WinMo is.

There's a big difference between being slow and being suddenly SLOOOOOOOOOWWWWW.

I've yet to flash this phone. I was hoping to avoid it. There are so many ROMs to choose from, some better than others. And I'm not looking forward to having to reapply all my customizations...
i get a problem like this occasionally after a restart. I need to hit the green dial key to get it to ask my PIN. after i enter my pin everything is back to normal.
just an idea
sprite backup
What you should do is when you hard-reset the phone and you have installed all your must-have apps (and the phone still runs smoothly) use Sprite Backup to make an image. This way when things go bad again, just restore the Sprite image to that wonderful time when everything still worked smoothly and you won't have to install all the apps again. Only the apps you installed after the image ofcourse... depends how often you backup
Works like a charm.
Be careful though, when you flash another rom, you CAN'T use the Sprite image anymore!! You have to make a new image then.
Hope this helps.
My Tilt did a hard reset when today. I pusehd the button for a soft set, and it did a hard one. Anyone ever experience that?
I am suspicious of software. But haven't seen any comments about this problem in any threads on it.
Recently installed software is:
SBP Mobile Shell 3
Finger Suite
Touchpal
Any thoughts?
In order for a full hard reset to happen you need to press the key combination THEN press the green call pickup key.
If it did bypass all those then I guess there is a severe software error for it to manage it.
My only advice would be to be careful and keep a note if it happens again....
Yep. In fact I've found it hard to do a hard resset on my phone. I"ve done 2-3 times over the past 18 months, but haven't for a while.
It's really strange.
The good news is I had a 2 day old backup.
Strange indeeed. Normally the hard reset is done either by a combination of keys as you said or with the “clear storage” function in the settings menu.
However, recently I had a similar "mysterious" experience with a TyTN 1. I installed a new SPL and a new ROM and then I started filling it up with programs and then at one of the soft resets I noticed it was too slow starting up and it did a hard reset instead. What I did is I installed another SPL version (newer one) and I never had this problem again (so far).
Sorry. I'm blank. What is SPL, and what version did you install that helped?
