I'm experiencing a weird problem. All of a sudden my Kaiser won't turn off and the keyboard has stopped working. I've tried restarting it about 10 times and took the battery out for 5 mins and it's still doing it.
I really don't want to completely reset it, does anyone have any ideas what could be up with it?
Ok, so I just softreset it whilst it was on charge and it seems to be working now! Never had this bug before so I'd still be interested to know if anyone knows anything about this in case it happens again.
i had this the other week, it wouldnt do anything, load any programs, kept saying missing DLL files.
Turned out, when i uninstalled a program "Google Navigator" or something, it screwed my file system up.
Sounds like a hard reset is the only way to fix these sort of problems mate.
Yeah, I kind of guessed that, just didn't want to admit it .
Think I'm gonna upgrade to WM6.1 anyway so now is probably a good time to do it.

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 diamond is playing up, there are no sound at all from earpiece, ringer or loud speaker after every 30mins to 1hour,
once you restart the phone and its works again, then gone within 1hour, have to keep restart the phone
here what i have done:
i run this RUU_Diamond_HTC_WWE-ME_1.93.456.2_Radio_Signed_Diamond_52.29.25.12_1.0 0.25.05_Ship
Still not fix
then this
SwiftBL-WWE-Diamond-ROM-v5.6
still not fix,
i dismantle the phone have a look is anything simple loose connection and such, but there is no sign of that or no sign of any water damage.
please if you have any idea to share here will be much appreciated
thanks
Same problem here...
looks like still fresh this Diamond phone, no one have idea yet to rectify this issue
still waiting.............
if it is fine to begin with, and then it goes after a little while, i would say it is not a hardware problem, but a software one.
especially as you have tried it on more than one ROM, it suggests that you may have installed something else on to the device which may be influencing it.
Hard reset and sycn your contacts etc back to the device, but do not install anything else, or do any tweaks at all.
let it run out of the box without any changes for a 24 hour period.
does it still happen?
if yes, send it back.
if no, start putting everything back on one by one until the problem re-occurs, trying the device for a couple of hours after each install. when it fails again, you have your suspect which is the last thing you installed or did before it failed again.
course, it could be a dodgy device, but make sure before you go through the hassle of sending it back, cos it could just be some software that doesn't like wm6.1.
I was playing around with the different applications on my kaiser and I think I activated one that didnt respond well to the OS or something and now every time i boot the phone, it crawls at painful speeds... I'm talking, clicking on the screen takes few minutes to get any reaction out of the phone. using it is out of the question.
I tried opening the task manager but that never opens up in full, just shows the program running in the taskbar.
Any ideas? I've done a search with nothing reasonable or similar to my situation.
Firstly, it would help to know which app you tried to open. The best thing is to do a soft reset. That should sort it out.
I think he meant hard reset...
Thought I could solve the issue w/o a hard reset but that worked... now back to setting everything up again
thx for the help boys
ok so here's the situation. I know that my battery is bad but i don't know if that's causing the problem. I was working on my car today and noticed that i had a text, so when i tried to open it, the phone froze. I thought no biggie and soft reset the phone. Here's where the problem began. It was on the loading screen.....and never did anything else. So i reset again and again until i plugged it to a wall. Same thing. It eventually booted up all the way, but it was acting way too slow. It would take more than 2 minutes to respond to an input. When I tried to make a call after it was on the phonepad, it took 3 minutes to even dial the speednumber and make the call. The call went through with no events. I patiently went to my back up program to try to back up my info and whatnot and it was so slow that it didn't back anything up. Has anyone had this problem before? I hope I explained it clearly.
My current rom is Solace 3.1 from mbarvian.
The best is if you replace the battery. It can be so slow cause of the battery. But it can also be your ROM. You could try a different ROM but I wouldn't recommend that until you have a better battery.
truth be told, i was holding off on the battery until the pro touch 2 came out for AT&T, but now i think it's best, even if i don't keep the phone. I have it plugged into the wall right now and it still doesnt want to finish backing up my stuff.
Is that a 6.5 ROM?
Get a replacement battery. You can try eBay. I have had good luck with battery there.
Once you have battery, backup your data and note down all you settings and then hard reset. After reset, redo your settings, restore your data. It should be fast as new.
seems strange that it would be a battery causing the phone to lock up, normally it is a program or something that causes it. If you have the phone plugged in to the wall and it still happens then I would say " how could it be the battery when that's not the power source"..
Keep trying to back it up, then hardreset the phone.
to answer a few posts back, it's a 6.1 rom. As far as the battery goes, i left it plugged for 24hours and then when i tried turning it on, still slow as always. I'm beginning to think that it's a combination of a corrupt rom and bad battery. I NEED to back up my stuff, but i wonder how i can do it if it's acting all slow.
I think it's just a problem with the rom. Good luck backing stuff up.

yeah no kidding. haha. i can't even access half of the stuff on that phone. I wonder what caused it to go bad after 2 months or so of use with that ROM.
hey guys, I don't know what's going on with my S7 but yesterday was working fine and out of nowhere everything started to FC! From twitter to "Google Services Framwork", Gmail, browser, tweetdeck, calendar, voice, I can't pretty much use it anymore, I haven't done any new app installations so i don't know what's wrong! is it just me, or anyone else having this problem??
Any help will be much appreciated!
Thanks
That has happened to me 4 or 5 times. It's like half of the device gets erased but the apps are there. Everything force closes. I end up having to erase the device and re-install everything. Reboot into recovery if you can't figure it out and format the system and data. For some reason when i do that, i keep root. Not entirely sure how that happens, but one less step for me. I think root is power and one of the volume buttons.

ha! i remember I already did that. After the Update we had, and I exchanged mine for a new one I decided to stay with no root (i don't know why! lol) so I guess I'll reset everything and go back to root I figured at the end I was gonna do that, but I was trying to see if it was just me or there was a fix
thanks man!
ok, so since yesterday I've been trying to factory reset the DS, and when it boots back on, everything stays the same!
I'm a little confused now, if I take a picture and I turn the tablet off, when I turn it back on, the picture disappears. Same thing happens if I move widgets, delete or create new ones on the screen, they go back to as the configuration was on friday night! GV not working, and the last message that shows there, same thing, shows the last one on friday. I don't know what can I do.... should I call dell??
duck tape and dynomite
stupid thing started crashing yesterday FC this and FC that ....cant restore it as i no longer have write access to the internal sd card
1) tried nv flash
2) tried restoring from clockwork
3) tried pushing files through adb
4) tried fastboot ....
if i didnt just dump money into this thing id blow it up ......
any help would be appreciated.......any tips to fix it or kill it completely so i can get another one
actually deleted all of the files on internal sd card and uninstalled every program on the device looked completly stock ....rebooted it and it went back to how it was yesterday ......theres gotta be a reason why other are having the same problem that started on the same day .....maybe dell pushed an OTA update and screwed us ......just a thought cause mine was fine till i went 4g yesterday so my sis could post facebook pics ....not sure but hope we can figure this out
Samething happened to me
Hi, did you ever find a solution? my streak 7 was ran out of battery, before it shut off, the screen started flickering and then it turned off. after it came back on, it looked like it was fine, everything looked normal, but then everything started force closing, haven't found a solution

I'm running stock, and I discovered the hard way that you can't let the S7 battery run all the way down. The S7 will not power itself down in time. I had the same issue, and the only way around it was to do a complete factory reset, using the menu button from the main screen. I think the reset is in the "About" section, but I don't have my S7 with me now.
Being used to WM6, which powers the device down at 5%, I was not expecting the device to do this, but there it is.
dell streak 7
im not sure if I am the only one with this issue you but becareful with the streak 7 mine well both of mine wont charge properly and the newest one wont charge at all. i have to send it back to dell for them to fix it. Im not sure what cause this but my only advie is to never use a different charger for it only dell chargers. Im guessing that it messes up the battery callibration and then it gets really hot when charging
