Hi:
I have searched the Forum, but did not see anything similar to the problem I am having.
At times my wait cursor just pops up. It will stay for about a second, then disappear, then reappear etc...
I have checked Task manager, and I have no running programs etc.
In order to get it to stop, I have to soft reset, but a couple times not even a soft reset seems to work.
The cursor is only visible on the Today screen, if I go to any other screen, it is not there, but as soon as I return to Today, there it is
Any ideas or suggestions would really be appreciated.
Thanks!
i had that issue when i installed marshall's skin. It stopped after i unloaded and removed it from my kaiser.

Thanks for the reply, but I don't have Marshall Wait Cursor (actually have never tried it), this is just the standard cursor.
Any other ideas?

Update:
After proceeding to flash intermittently for a while, the phone turned itself off completely, and by itself
Turns back on fine, but I am very concerned, since I didn't even notice it had turned off, til I went to use it.
Hi. I am a new owner of the AT&T Tilt, so I was messing around with a few cool new features. I installed the HTC Home Plugin and the HTC Default Theme, which looked really nice. After I installed these, things began going crazy. When I had them installed, the screen would not turn back on after going blank, so I would have to remove the battery and then reboot it again. When it loaded back up, I tried to manually power it off via the power button on the side. INstead of powering off, it would freeze. Sucks, I know...
So I finally decided to remove both the plugin and the default screen, as I figured it would send things back to normal. It didn't. When it was all removed, I tried to slide the phone open, but the screen did not automatically switch to landscape view. So I tried to power it off, and it acted as if it was continually loading something and refused to turn off.
This is very furstrating... Do any of you all know what to do?
Thanks.

Try a soft reset and if that doesn't work, back up any data you don't want to lose and then try a hard reset. This will bring you back to factory settings but you lose all your data and added programs.
I have both those things on my Tilt and have not had that happen. Any other third party software it could be reacting with?
Not that I know of. I installed TomTom6 on there, but I had that for several hours prior to putting the two other programs on there and it worked just fine. Is there a way to do a hard reset before the phone turns on fully? Because once it turns on, I am very limited as to what I can do...
Yes.
Put your stylus into the reset hole (just above and to the right of the USB port) and hold both soft keys at the same time (next to the green and red phone buttons).
Hm.. Strange thing happened. I simply held the two soft keys at start up and it seems to have reset the whole thing. Did I do this correctly or should I redo it?

hmm i don't think so you did a hard reset than buddy. Hard reset is holding the two soft keys and than inserting stylus into soft reset hole on bottom of phone. Doing this brings you to a white screen with a warning in blue that basically tells you all data will be erased to proceed hit the send button .. and once you hit send (green button) than it starts the hard reset and once it finishes it asks you to hit the send button again to reboot the phone.
Yeah. STrangely enough, it didn't warn me of any of that. It simply took a while to boot up from the AT&T screen and when it did, all of the stuff that I had installed was gone...
Another question..
Okay, so after about seven attempts, I finally got the hard reset to work properly. Now that everything is back to it's manufacture settings, I would like to update the plain jane look of it. I know this may sound utterly stupid, but can anyone tell me exactly how to install the HTC Plugin along with the HTC Default theme and Customizer? (If links can be provided as to the correct download site, it would be greatly appreciated as well.)
The last time I thought I installed these correctly, my phone went crazy...
Thanks guys.
P.S. TomTom 6 would not have an affect on my phone.. would it?
Thanks again!
no tomtom6 will not affect your phone, I have used it for months with HTC home plugin, didn't have an issue with my tilt. I hope that helps. I don't quite understand what you want to do with the customizer maybe someone else can help ya with that.
Good luck on your new phone.

Go here, down load HTC Home plugin and Home Customizer again.
Remember to soft reset after installing (no soft keys just stylus in the reset hole) Go to start>settings>today>items,check HTC Home. And you should be good to go.
If not , now you know how to hard reset and start again.

Alright! Thanks a lot!
I'll keep you informed as to how it goes! Thanks again!
Ah! Thanks! It works flawlessly now!
Juuust kidding...
I don't know what it is, but it worked just fine for a while.
Now, whenever I tap the power button on the side to turn the screen off, I can not get it to turn back on.
Why?
Alright my At&t tilt front face buttons started to not work (i could only use the arrow buttons and the ok button) and my keyboard stopped working but the arrow keys would. i upgraded the rom after calling htc for help. that didnt fix a thing and now today none of the buttons work. i keep getting the PTT to come up and ask for installation and edfc keeps typing themselves on the screen. so idk if it is a software problem or if the hard ware is malfunctioning.
Damn, I got the same problem. Does anybody know how to fix this?
the same problem here... :/
same problema here.
i already tried another radio, another SPL, another ROM and nothing.
any idea?
Just updating.
Yesterday my tytn started working perfectly again, but today the same problem is occuring. I did nothing, so probably is really a hardware issue.
I have a similar problem.
Send/End + Soft Keys + Keyboard are not working. The issue is not resolved yet?
Wow, this problem just happened to me as well. I've searched everywhere on the net and couldn't find anything.
So is this a pervasive issue? Anyone with any hint as to what might be the source of the problem?
Originally, I thought it the PTT button was stuck in the PRESSED position because the phone behaves as if this button was constantly being pressed. For example my PTT button was mapped to Voice Recorder if the PTT button was held down. The voice recorder constantly comes on everytime I turn the phone on!!

I have the exact same problem.
The only change I recently made (two weeks ago) was installing tom tom navigator.
First I thought it was a virus and I installed bull guard, but with no success.
It opens/closes the start menu every second, no buttons work apart from the directional buttons and it writes "edfc" in my textmessages when I turn on/off the screen with the power button.
Most of the time(!) this irritating opening/closing of the start menu only happens after I first turn off/on the screen (with the power button).
I saw this problem described in a post dating back almost two years ago. Someone ought to know the answer to our problems. What does HTC say about it?
I have been lucky and not had this issue yet; but I would recommend starting by flashing the stock rom from HTC. Then hard reset; that will clear everything back to original. If you still experence this after that, then you have a hardware issue. Good luck
This just happened to me this morning. I cant use any buttons and nothing is popping up. This is soo wierd cause the phone was just sitting there overnight!!
Me too...
I have been going nuts with this issue for a couple months now. Makes the phone unusable half the time. I am so disappointed to find that a ROM reload doesn't fix it!! I remapped the 6 key to none and that sort of helps but it was mapped to Voice record before and it would constantly record memos until all the memory was gone in the phone and then it would all crash from there. So frustrating.
I too get the edfc message after I reboot....
It really seems like a virus the way it acts but I guess if it is a hardware issue then it's not a virus.
Anyone ever figure anything out with this? Nothing has changed on my phone recently.
Still an issue?
Holy Toledo fellow Tilt Users. Have you ditched your half-functioning touchscreen, or have we figured out how to solve this issue.
Recently I FOUND THE SAME PROBLEM!
I am going to do what was suggested (original HTC Rom & hard reset) and will let you know if I get the rest of my keyboard back...
All buttons except for power and... NOT WORKING
Outside "Enter" buttons work but they are mapped to Windows key. ? Weird. For some reason the kaiser thinks it is something else. I do not know how it got this way, but there must be a way to convince the hardware of the existence of all my other buttons. The entire keyboard does not work.
Hard Reset & stock HTC Rom did not help. I was surprised that I could hard reset it at all since the two soft buttons are unresponsive to software.
Anyone figure this out yet?
Hi, I got the same issue today as well - Has anyone got rid of this?
I don't know if it's just the rom i'm using but i've noticed that 80% of times when I press the power button to take my phone out of sleep, it turns on and then goes off about half a second later, and I have to press it again to keep it on.. is this a known bug?
It's not just you
I've been seeing the same behavior with mine, and I'm running the stock ROM.
Same issue here ever since flashing stock WM 6.1 ROM.
You all are not alone...
I couldn't find the thread after a quick search, but this is a known issue of the phone, not the customized roms. About 5 or 6 months ago, i read a post saying that HTC was trying to figure out a solution. Perhaps someone will post a better reply than mine.
I have this exact same issue.... I am using the stock 6.0 rom still (don't laugh)... It also does it when I receive a TXT message (and it is sleeping) and anything else that would normally power it on from sleep mode... I am glad to see that I am not the only one experiancing this....
My phone did not always do this... but has been for quite some time.... If I am not mistaken, it was after one of my "ravamps" of the phone... more specifically, I applied a reg edit so I coudl reprogram the PTT button... Any of the rest of you do this? I changed the PTT so on a short push it does Voice command, and long press it loads TomTom (in my mind, PTT is a french button "Pour TomTom" lol).. Anyways... Let me know folks
Stock ROM. Same problem.
I think the problem is in "device lock" plugin on today screen.
After I disabled that plugin and stopped using it- it stopped to flash the screen.
Is it the same with other devices?
I've never used the device lock today plugin and I have always had this issue. 6.1 stock rom.
Hi all
I have a stock HTC GPE 4.4.4, with stock recovery, no SU. Phone works fine except for a random problem which has only just started with the phone. When i unlock the phone, the back button doesnt work at all - even if i leave it for a few seconds or more. But, if i tap the home button, the back button will then start to work. I thought initially it may have been the screen lock which i recently put on so i turned that off - no cigar. Im stumped as to why its happening just! Im hoping the official GPE update will fix it but not sure...
Thanks
I hate to be the bearer of bad news, but it sounds to me like the capacitive buttons are starting to go bad on your phone. If you think it's the software, back everything up and do a factory reset and see if that resolves the issue. Also, I'm curious, does the back button work in recovery?
Yep works fine in recovery. In fact, its working again right now. It only ever happens when the phone has been locked for a period of time. Once unlocked, it occasionally doesnt work unless i hit the home button. Also, the search bar in chrome fails to bring up the keyboard as well.
Im pretty sure its software related though. Just wondered of anyone here had same issue
