Fring - How did you install it?

Hi,
I am having trouble installing Fring on the latest Dutty Rom. Has anybody else experienced this problem?
I install the cab to either memory or storage and it still does the same thing... It just loads the splash screen up and hangs there?
I contacted fring about this problem and they replied with the following:
"Hello Colin,
Thank you for contacting our support team.
We are aware of the issue and working to solve it in the near future.
Make sure to check our blog for version updates http://www.fring.com/blog
Please feel free to contact us again should you have any further queries.
Thank you,

I see alot of people on this forum using Fring and I was just wondering how they went around installing it?
Thanks,
Colin Jensen

Worked fine for me on Dutty's V3 - I installed it and ran it with wi-fi turned off and was surprised that it automatically turned wi-fi on to connect.

Same here
Yeah, I got the same problem on my phone. I have had Fring on my before but it was acting buggy so I uninstalled it and looked for the newer version of it and tried installing it but I install it and like you said the splash screen comes up and just hangs.
Did you ever get it to work? I see that this is an old thread.

I had the same problem on my phone when I installed for a brief period of time last week. I ended up uninstalling......

i have installed the cab on a number of ROMS, never had any issue..

official tilt 6.0 rom didn't work, q mobile 1.2 rom didn't work...official tilt 6.1 rom, @ least it actually opens now (no more error screen) but doesn't get past loading. 3 roms, still haven't been able to get it working over here.

yep, confirmed, same problem, multiple roms, multiple ways of installing, multiple connections when opening program, Fring is still just stuck on the splash screen that says "Fring is loading" I had it working at one point in my Kaiser's life but nothing now seems to revive it, been trying for months, there are no fixes that I have seen online. Any good alternatives?

No problem so far.....
been using it for over 1month now....
installing and uninstalling for more than 8times
i justgot my kaiser....thats why with all thecustomization....
am using a russian Wm6.1 rom

I have the same issue
I tried every known fix that can be googled... I also contacted Fring... no help. It seems to be a huge problem with the 6.1 Roms. Someone here should have a fix...

Nope, it's fring's job to get it right, not much we can do... and they unfortunately dont seem to care much about WM6.1 users given the number of reports they've had for weeks/months about the problem and their everlasting "we're gonna investigate it" answer.

I have just installed Fring today on PDACornerUltimate ROM v15, it works properly.
I was able to make a SIP call to Fringe Testcall as well as SkypeOut call.

Yep, they just released a new version that works.

Language settings
I've the same problem with Fring that I've with google map.
My PPC regional settings are set to China, since it's the olny way to display chinese caracters everywhere in the OS (notice the OS is in English).
But, fring's language (like google map) is choosen according to those settings... it's very annoying.
Does anybody if there is a way to disable this feature (registry hack...) ?
Thanks,

Fring on kaiser
i just installed fring on my kaiser im using duttys_wm6.1 hybrid v2 and dont have a problem with it. it loaded up properly and everything seems to be working. my only thought is maybe a high amount of cpu usage, (programs that are running from start-up?) that is slowing everything down and causing the app to hang of freeze. thats just my thought. im probably wrong. anytime i have an issue with any kind of app freezing of not starting up thats usually were i look first. i hope that this helps. if not im sorry and at least i tried.

HTC ROM 6.1 : the Kaiser freezes all the time !!!

Hello again, I have this big problem with my Kaiser :
since I installed the last HTC 6.1 ROM update, my device randomly freezes for 10-20 seconds.
I also noticed that my devices sometimes slow down ...
Does anyone else have this problem ?

The solution : Downgrade to WM6 !

I think I've found where the problem is :
since I stopped using "Quick Menu", the Kaiser does not freeze anymore ...
That means this is another usefull application I will have to stop using with the HTC 6.1 ROM !!!

Sorry but I don't know what is Quick menu...

If you don't know it, that means you didn't install it on your Kaiser. So your freeze problems were not coming from this application. Sorry ...

The biggest bug i've been with wm6.1 : my kaiser soft reset alone all the time ! Maybe they're drunk when they're built this rom lol ! They should have write : THE MAGIC FUNNY WM6.1 RELEASE WITH GHOST TOUCH !

I disabled Weather tab and contacts tab with HTC home customizer. It seems to work well now. I will see if problem has really gone. Thank you for your help Dizzy. You gave a direction to my searchs

You're welcome ... But I use HTC home mainly for its contact and weather application ... So it's not a solution for me.

I noticed that orange france users had problems. Perhaps it is linked with our SIM CARD...

do you really need to post two threads on this?
I thought about using HTC's rom, but instead, i used dutty's lite rom, and built it up myself with what i wanted. Its a hell of a,lot faster, i wouldnt touch another oem htc rom ever again, they are full of rubbish, and slow as my old wizard

Finally I discovered that the problem didn't come from "Quick Menu", but from "HTC home" !!!!!
HTC home does slown down my Kaiser and is responsible for randoms freezes of it !
If I disable "HTC home" on the today setup screen, then everything is faster (start menu display ...).
I re-installed Quick-menu and now my Kaiser is working fine.
I will have to replace HTC home by a clone application ...

I haven't had any issues with my Kaiser freezing with the 3.28.405.0 WWE ROM, but then I haven't used ROM that was oficially released by HTC. Instead I've been using the one that was leaked out a couple of days before the official release.
Is it possible that the official ROM image is corrupted in some way? I've noticed this post over in the Kaiser ROM Development forum, which was posted today:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=2234850&postcount=356

Called HTC today.
I'm not the only one having trouble with 6.1. They said in the next two days there will be a "new" version available.
The file we could download now is corrupt and they will upload a non corrupt version. Supposedly the file was corrupt by uploading to ftp server
I think they will release a patched version.

I've installed the official (English) rom I got from someone in the UK (there is none for TYTN II from Hong Kong being used in the USA as of yet ) and loved the idea that all I had to do is just install ( No hard SPL ) and everything seems fine. I have a lot of apps. installed and everything is fine.

I upgraded to the leaked ROM and have had nothing but Freezing problems !!
I turned off HTC home and this seemed to do the job...for about 12 hours and then wouldnt you know it, its slow again.
I did a hard reset and turned everything off, used Kaiser tweaks to change the cache options and its still not right.
I feel badly let down by this product. I upgraded from a blackberry 8800 which ran like a dream, no problems. I've always been alittle sceptical about Windows Mobile Products. I've owned many PDAs in the past and have always felt that they were always compromised. My Dell Axim X51v was a good PDA but too bulky to carry around. I've always been someone who wasnt bothered by Windows Mobile Devices because of their windows hang ups. Seems I was proved right, though I know this isnt necessarily a Windows thing, more likely a HTC thing....it still doesnt help !
I needed a product that offered, office apps, with internet and the ability to FTP easily at high speeds either over WiFi or 3g. The Vario III had the lot including imense flexability which made me give up my Blackberry (which was a big thing, trust me as I adored my blackberry,,,it was just alittle limited).
After having purchased HTC's almost flagship model I've feel totally let down, they knowingly shipped a product that was flawed and then released a dodgy fix that affectively made the device worse (for some of us!). Freezing all the time. When it wasnt freezing it was a pleasure to use...but seriously, i'm 5 weeks into using it and I'm absolutely pee'd off. I seem to be constantly looking for fixes all the time !! my wife thinks I've become bloody addicted to it, she wont listen when i tell her I'm trying to fix it. it always seems to be in my hand !! (the kaiser that is )
That blackberry of mine is going to be taken out of the box and this paper weight will be used as just that.
gutted man

You need to remove the HardSPL application from your Kaiser in order to stop the freezes ... Take a look at this thread :
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=394783
It works ... Guaranteed !

Yes, the HardSPL is your problem, not HTC.

I tried the official htc e-club 6.1 and had lots of freezing issues. It would just freez for 20 seconds or so then start working again. Drove me crazy. I off-loaded it and re-loaded dutty's 6.1 hybrid and am very happy with it. Very stable, no more freezes either. I also reloaded mobile shell and found it to work much better than with the old 6.0. The memory issues, leaks etc. I had with shell on 6.0 seem to have become almost non-existant with this rom. And did I say batt life is heaven . I'm stickin' with what works for now.

I have the problem that Activesync is automatically turned on when I start the phone and it makes alot of problems but when I turn it off it usually solves it - anyone know how to fix this?

I have the e-club 6.1 and am experiencing the same freezes. Really annoying. I think there is a pattern that when I turn off the phone, the freezes go away.

I had a similar issue where Activesync would start running on my phone every so many minutes, when looking in the task manager it would be running. I fixed that by running task manager v2.8 from Fdcsoft you can download it from here http://www.dotfred.net/TaskMgr.htm with that go to notification and disable replog.exe (AppRunAfterTimeChange). This does not affect active sync working when connecting to a pc or with push email.

Help! IGO8 always crashes!

Hey everybody, problem is as follows:
Installation works without problems, and after disabling HTC Home it starts properly. Everything seems to work fine, but after a few minutes of navigation it crashes! Screen freezes and no input is possible. Only way to get out is a soft reset.
does anybody have an idea how to solve the issue? would be thankfull for every suggestion!
by the way, I use Dutty's latest ROM [Jun 07] (Dutty's Diamond V1 Build 19588)
greetings!

ok... it's even worse now!
i uninstalled and reinstalled IGO8. and now it doesn't even start up anymore. well it tries to. the starting screen shows up, and it starts processing. but at some point the whole device (kaiser) just collapses and starts up completely new!
please! someone tell me whats going on!

First: Search in rom tread
Secound: Post rom related question in rom tread (yes this is rom related)
This issue been discussed in about every new build tread since Duttys april 29 hybrid. You will find youre answer in V1 tread, and before you flip. Its normal, youre kaiser isnt dying

Just desactivate AGPS :
Edit the registry HKLM/Software/HTC/SUPL AGPS/
Set 0 to EnableAGPS key.
Restart your kaiser, relaunch IGO8 and enjoy

DrQ is half-right...
You also need to disable HTC-Home if you're under WM6.1 AFAIK.

thanks for your answers...
even though I'm quite new to all of this, I found out myself that aGPS and HTC have to be disabled. I did both, but the problem exists. that's why I posted.
raiisak, thanks for your comment! I think you're also talking bout the aGPS and HTC-home disabling "fix" ... cause I looked over the Dutty V1 thread more than once without finding an other post concerning this problem...
I guess I will just do what Dutty did: going back to his APR 29th build. That one was stable and everything worked without problems. also I share his opinion that 6.1 sucks.
regards!

No.. iGO8 crashes like *crazy* on my stock ATT Tilt (shipped ROM/Radio/etc). If it doesn't crash it locks it up and I have to poke the reset hole.
I'll try disabling AGPS to see if that helps.. I don't have HTC Home installed, although I did a while back.

AT&T Stock with Bloat? Cause th bloat really makes the Tilt suck.
As long as HTC Home isn't running. Igo and HTC Home share a file. But like twin brothers they don't share it well.

You need to dump dutty
I wasted hours of my life getting iGo8 to work with my Kaiser. Unfortunately it's a bigger problem than just uninstalling HTC Home (if you can) and disabling A-GPS.
In the end I dumped Dutty and flashed L26_Kaiser_Diamond_V8_light release by Laurentius26. This solved all the problems. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=400118
Only thing that doesn't work with this ROM are custom keyboards (SIP), such as PCM Keyboard. Apart from that iGo8 works a treat

You have to disable HTC Home, and disable A-GPS to get iGO8 to work under WM6.1.

I run IGO8 with Dutty's Diamond V1 without problems (if I disable HTC Home, that is). The reboots have something with either the legality of your IGO8 release, or with the fact that you dumped to many POI files in the POI directory (i.e. all available countries). In Dutty's Hybrid V2 this was not an issue, and it must have something to do with memory management in the Diamond ROM.
@mb: different ROMs work best for different people, no need to be a fanboy.

As mentioned in this thread, AGPS fixes it. Very odd. iGO has some quirky bugs.. This one I would consider a MAJOR bug, but oh well.. Another bug I noticed (and is on their website in the FAQS) is that their timezone/system time from GPS functionality is hosed.. Always wind up with the time on the PDA being GMT. Have to fiddle to get it to set the time right then disable that functionality or disable it and fix it in WM.
Otherwise, it seems to work well enough.. Wish I had 3d/buildings here to look at, but otherwise the maps look pretty nice with parks and such outlined. Still looking into how to add my own POI's without some silly .net gui in Windows to do it.

Just to be pedantic; AGPS is a problem in WM6.0 as well. WM6.1 may require the additional step of disabling HTC Home.

No. IGO8 works with HTC Home in Dutty's WM6.1 Hybrid V2. It really depends on the OS version in the specific ROM, be it WM6 or WM6.1.

Tried the rest and went back to the Best. Duttys April 29th Hybrid is staying on my tytn2 now . Dutty will be missed here.

Missed the "may" part huh? Or got hung up on the 6.1 part? I suppose I shouldn't have even mentioned WM 6.1.

connectivity issues with more recent roms.

I'm starting this thread to get some advice, as well as some polling done as to how the new roms are working with different cell providers.
I'm in China, I have China unicom, and the network is gprs. I've been having some strange problems, as of recently, with connecting to the net using GPRS. I've tested with both Opera mini, and Skyfire.
I can no longer connect to msn live (messenger), youtube, and with Opera, I am only able to open a very select few different web sites.
Using skyfire, I can open up any site (although it's not the nicest browser for speed or looks), so this is making me think that it's something to do with Opera itself. It's really hard to tell.
I'd like to be able to use msn, the web, and the 2gigs a month bandwidth that I'm paying for. (can anyone say youtube?).
Is this problem isolated to me? Anyone else experiencing this?
The problem began on David's wm6.5, rather suddenly, as it was working on that rom before. I recently installed Dutty's 2.3, again, same problem, only skyfire works. I've since installed David's V3HP, and the problem persists.
This must be software related, and limited to the new roms being cooked on the touchpro 2 build, because it wasn't happening before, and I still have connectivity (only for skyfire, and a couple pages in Opera mini).
Any feedback would be beautiful.
Thanks in advance.
Caid.

go back to stock ROMs if custom roms don't meet your needs

yeah right.
I'm rather fond of custom roms now. This problem has only been happening since the later roms. I would like to move along with everyone else, as what's being offered by the cooks these days is really quite nice. I had a stock ROM on my phone when I first got it. I know the difference. I prefer cooked roms. I'd just like a fix is all.
Caid.

That could be a radio issue and nothing to do with the rom...
What radio version do you have?

have you gone back to the stock rom to see if there is a difference between the stock rom and cooked rom, because for all you know mate maybe your phone developed a knock somewhere, cause mine works just fine with any custom rom of maybe your mobile network is fidling with your conection

I guess to get it working you need to have netcf 3.5 installed to make it work.

I've myself not been able to get this working on my fuze. My thoughts are it might be dependant on running WM 6.5. I've tried killing a bunch of processes before installing. Turned off Voicecommand, everything and no go. My hopes are someone here can figure out how to ge this thing working on our phones.... at least the phones running WM 6.1. For all of you running WM 6.5, I'm jealous!

When I try speak, my phone says "Thinking...." and always "Sorry didn't catch that"
EDIT: So I tried Text *persons name* and it worked, but when I spoke my message it said unable to reach network.

What Rom version are you running?

Amnya over at PPCgeeks posted this cab file. I installed it and low and behold the programs now on the phone. That said, I cant do much with it. Any search I try just comes back with a network error, same with sending a text message "can't access mobile network"

I got it to work on mine. I had to DL the newest ROM from HTC, but it is working flawless now.
I couldnt get it to start before I updated.

Still trying to get it to work..

None as of yet... My original thoughts were that it was 6.5 dependant... but it would seem its actually network dependant and thats why it had issues installing from the original exe. It would get to where it needed the network confirmation and fail.
I'll be reading other forums and post back here as soon as I see something relevant
