Hey guys...I just installed a couple of apps and now I have a screen flicker. When my Tilt is asleep, every 3-4 minutes the screen flashes for a split second and the screen goes back to black. I recently installed these apps:
SPB Mobile Shell 2.0
CommMgrPro 1.3.3
Zomobi
HTC Gif Animation (I think this is the one but I deleted it and it still flashes)
HTC Action Screen
Pocket Wifi Radar
Has anyone installed any one of these apps and had the same flashing screen issue?? I removed them one by one and I still have the flicker.
Anyone good with the registry and could help me figure this out would be great!!
Thanks for any help anyone can give.
Hi
Mine does the same and the only one of those apps I've got installed is HTC ActionScreen. Maybe try removing that and see if it solves it?
Let me know how you get on.
Greg
Have the same issue. Anyone knows why ? I thought I'm seeing things...
Thanks.
Very interesting! Mine has been doing it as well since I downloaded and installed the 6.1 Windows Mobile update, although never did before.
Thanks for any suggestions or input that anyone can provide.
Anyone find out how to fix this?
Is that a known problem for many Kaisers?
if not then upgrading the ROM would be the answer to getting rid of this problem right?
BTW I have no special programs installed, other than commander.
I don't have HTC Home Customizer installed.
This is from a fresh ROM update to 6.1.
The flickering issue has been resolved on my Tilt
Hello All, I tried to just remove the get ATT Navigation from the main menu and sure enough my flickering screen went away. The issue was obviously just a repeat of the same issue that used to occur with the "Get TelNav" option showing in the old 6.0 ROM's from ATT. Thanks!
thanks for replying, however I don't even have that application on my device.
I did install 6.1 without bloatware though.

Hello,
I have been a member for about 3 months or so but not been a heavy poster. (sorry about that)
anyway I have a small problem which normally gets solved by a few searchs but I don't seem to be having any luck.
I Have an Orange build kaiser (installed the today screen) and have hard reset the device a few times after encounting the same problem again and again (about to hard reset for the 4th time i belive)
back to the point, the problem seems to be a simple one in that new SMS don't appear on my today screen... weired?! and last night was the worst my phone was on charge but in standbye mode but my girlfriend couldn't connect any phone calls and when i checked my phone i had a mountain of missed calls and a bundle of txts which all came through at the same time on wake up..
(I've mentioned the fact my phone was on charge because search results suggest it was due to a 30% or less battery)
when i had the problem before I thought at 1st it was one of the many many cabs that have installed so this time i made sure i+I only had on the minumal
(forgive me but with the phone not being with me I am not sure on the names but here is the list)
HTC Home (maybe an old verison but i have tried many verisons)
HTC Home customiser (with IPHONE apps theme)
TOM TOM 6
HTC touch Keypad
A program to stop the phone connecting to the internet
A program that on start up my phone switches directly to the Keypad
Like I said used to install loads and loads of cabs but now limiting my self to a few to try and rectify the problem.
any one else had this problem? should i send it back to Orange? (I have insurance), will there be problems reinstalling TOM TOM? is one of the apps i have currently installed a problem?
any help would be much appricated and thank you in advance.
Does it exhibit this behaviour if you leave the phone in shipped condition, with NO software installed by yourself? If so, then it's faulty; if not, then install your apps one by one and test until you find what's causing it by process of elimination.
thanks for the reply...
I was going to leave it this time around with the dreaded orange home screen, was hoping someone else had a simular problem with one of the apps i have already mentioned
I'll give it a go tonight and see how it goes
thanks again for the reply
Hi folks
Last night my HTC TyTN II ran out of power. When I had recharged it and started the device up again, I had lost the HTC Homescreen plugin. I've been unsuccessfull in getting it back, even after rebooting the device. The plugin is no longer listed under the Today settings screen either
Has anyone else experienced this and most importantly how can I get this back?
Thanks for your interest

you may try the usual paths: hard-reset, and if not, install the cab again. it is floating around, you should find it.
did you try any of these?
I would only do a hard reset as a last result, and if then, maybe even just go for a different ROM.
Do you know where to find this .cab file? I found something in these forums but it seems to be related to the Hermes phones
Thanks again
Wohoo!! I finally got it back
In case someone else gets the same problem, I used "!!!FIXED HTC Kaiser 6 button Home Plugin by schen" found at:

hey everyone, i'm kinda new here, been reading stuff for a while but now that i got a tytn 2 (kaiser wm6.1 rom) and started mucking around with installing new programs i think i broke something
the built in wm6.1 rom that my device came with also has htc home v2.1 builtin
i manually installed htc home customizer 1.0, also tried uninstall/reinstall/reset
not sure what caused it, but now the htc home today screen section is completely blank. it takes up space but shows nothing. resetting themes, settings, soft reset, etc did not work.
i tried twice to download and install htc home 2.1 from an online download. installed on device and also on sd card, but each time i did it the device would go into an endless rebooting loop. it would reset, load up to the today screen, reset, etc etc.
so as far as uninstalling the rom htc home version, i dont think i can do it. plus the rom version seems to have a higher build number then the 2.1 version i see floating around the net.
fyi, i did have htc home and htc customizer working at some point. i used the default htcc themes. but at some point, after a software reset, poof it no longer shows
any suggestions on how to fix this?
HTC Home on WM6.1
My problem is not exactly the same as yours, but I think we're dealing with the same stuff in software and ROM.
My Tilt came from AT&T with only WM6. I had to upgrade it myself to 6.1. When I did, HTC Home came built-in, just like for you. I also downloaded HTC home customizer and installed it...at that point, everything worked fine. The problems started when I was trying to get the music tab to show up on HTC Home. So anyways, even though I already had the built-in Home, I tried to install it again from the cab file HTC Home 2.1. The installation finished, and it told me it had to restart. It did, but then went broke...like yours, my Tilt went into endless rebooting cycles.
However, I have a REALLY serious problem. Mine still won't turn on correctly. So can you tell me how to get rid of HTC Home 2.1, or whatever I need to do, so that my device will run properly again?
I think the solution for you may be to reinstall windows mobile 6.1 from a file online. (You could probably use the same one I did, except I just have to find it again...)
But at this point, I can't even do that, because my phone doesn't even get to the today screen where I can click on stuff. Activesync doesn't work either. HELP?
hard reset
i had to do a hard reset to fix the issue with the rebooting cycle.
right now i'm working on using the manila 2d today screen interface. it looks nice, works good but makes it impossible to add other plugins to the today screen.
i was using the mToday tool to switch between manila and htc home today screens but since htc home is now being a ***** i'm gonna see what i can do with manila to make it better for me.
also using pointui, flash touch flo cube and freestyl.
but if anyone has a quick fix for this htc home issue please post me somethin. i know there are better today screens out there, but simplisity is nice sometimes.
Hey everyone, I hope I'm not utilizing this posting section wrong.
Anyways, I just wanted to put out there that I think* that there is a problem with the kfortouchpro app (I apologize if this problem has been noted before). I dunno if it has to do with the rom I installed (RRE Fuze 4.2 hybrid, which is one of my faves) or if there is just something wrong with my phone.
The Problem:
After playing with Pocketsnes or Morphgear. If I forget to turn M$ IME back to t9, and then reset the device, the device would not boot to the today screen. When the device is reset, it will show the at&t logo, but then the next screen would remain black (the back light is on tho).
I've tried resetting several times and also did so with the bootloader screen. But none of them worked.
So annoyingly, I had to flash my rom to get the phone working again (had to do this 5 time already!!).
I even flashed first with stock rom then custom rom.
If anyone knows how to get that the today screen back after such an incident. Please let me know. And if anyone knows what exactly is wrong please do tell.
Thanks all for reading.
I've had exactly the same problem! Going to have to hard reset again
the same problem here, very frustrating
Hi Guys,
I suppose one good thing to come out of me constantly finding my HD dead after it being on standby for a few hours (it seems intermittent) is that it seems many others are having similar issues.
Can people post their findings to the following question so we can help the community at large narrow down the issue:
When your device hangs/freezes, is it in standby or in use?
If the unit is in Standby, are you using Manila 2.5 or an earlier version?
Which WM version are you using? (6.1 of 6.5)
Have you unticked the "Today timeout" on the Today Settings screen?
My experiences are as follows:
I have only seen this since I have been using a 6.5 ROM
I have only seen this since I have been using Manila 2.5 (i think)
I install only a small number of applications
I have used both MyPhone and PIM Backup to restore info
oh and finally, it's bloody annoying!!!
If anyone has any information as to what could be causing this please post. I'm sure we'd all give our left nut to get this fixed?
This does seem to be an issue that effects some and not others, I had it happen a few times but after flashing back to an official ROM then back to custom (including SPL) I have using custom ROMs for a while now without this occuring again.
Flashmore, thanks for your input. Can you state what steps you followed for others?
Glad to hear someone else is also having the same problem, and that it doesn't sould like a hardware issue.
I have recently been trying to figure out what is causing the lock-ups.
It doesn't happen with WM 6.1 roms.
Always happens is standby, with screen off I think. Nearly always when charging and power off then on using power buttin.
Seems to be happening to me wth WM 6.5 Manila 2.5 or earlier.
Nothing changed for the today timeout.
Using apps that come with rom, nothing extra.
Going back to WM 6.1 until a cure is found.

I'm attempting to systematically find out what the problem is by installing the same programs each flash with the exception of one. The first attempt was to move back to Manila 2.1 - so far so good but I'm expecting the same to happen at some point.
I want a good ROM, but I'm more bothered about not missing an emergency phone call because my phone is dead!
Hi all.
I'm not sure if this is actually related since when I experienced these so called "lock ups" my phone hard reset and corrupted the SD card as well. This happened two times with HD and once with Diamond2. Both phones with WM6.5.
I'm using corporate exchange and get enforced a device lock policy. I noticed that each time the device froze it was displaying the "classic" device lock number keyboard although the "default" (the new wm6.5) lock was selected.
Anyway, both phones have been working perfectly with WM6.5 and manilla 2.5 after I have started to use the ugly "classic" lock screen.

i think this is a conflict about the option ''turn off the backlight'' if you disabled it (on battery power and on external power) the problem disappear. i don´t know why it happes but this is my solution (since the revision 9...)

That's interesting. I might try that.
I have been on Manila 2.1 for a few days and so far so good though.
I'm on WM 6.5 w/ Manila 2.1 for a couple of days and it has happened to me too.
I just tried disabling the options for turning off backlight and turning off phone. Hopefully this "fixes" the problem.
Check this thread, same subject, more details !
