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:

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 :

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.

Key remapper?

Okay, long story short(ened).
I've been using xda-dev for a long time, but this is my first time actually posting. I used to have a T-mo Wing, realized just how many ways in which it lacked power-wise, and decided to upgrade to a Kaiser (specifically, an AT&T Tilt).
I used the Tilt with its original ROM for a really long time, and I was about to sell it on eBay to buy a G1 (which I may still do, we'll see) when I decided to try out flashing it with a new ROM.
I weeded through the various ROMs that you guys have cooked up, and I decided I liked Sakajati's Hyperdragon III Opal the best.
Took me a while to get it to work (biggest issue was that I had to switch to my wife's computer with XP, since my PC runs Vista), but now that I've got it running, I love it. I had my Kaiser running all sorts of fun apps before (man, some of you guys make some seriously awesome stuff!), but I could never get TouchFlo to work, so this ROM makes me very pleased. Manila is awesome, too. =)
Anyhow, to the point.
The Tilt has a different keyboard setup than the standard Kaiser. As a result, when I'm typing, I go to hit & and = shows up instead. # turns up with *, " yields &, etc. I can deal with this, but it's pretty annoying.
I don't know, maybe this was addressed in the Hyperdragon III thread, but I tried finding it to no avail. Since this isn't quite a Hyperdragon III issue so much as just needing to rework my keys, I don't think this belongs in that thread anyhow.
But, question is - do you guys happen to have any solutions? Maybe a program that lets me reprogram each of my keys to my own preference, maybe a .CAB that automatically reprograms my keys to the appropriate format. I don't care. I just want a solution.
Anybody?

Do a search on xda for tilt keyboard fix.
jeannette

this file will make the changes you need

Thanks guys. I appreciate the help.

RTFM!! haha just kidding. I'm not trying to be one of those guys.
Since you are new to the tilt, I'd recommend you read this thread though. There are lots of good links and tutorials in there.

T-Mobile MDA IV - Further impressions

Dear All,
Ok, I thought I'd continue my short story of life so far with the Diamond..
I've had it two weeks just over two weeks now and I'm beginning to get used to it. Those of you who read my first post will know that one of the first things I did was update the ROM away from the T-Mobile "Pink-O-Matic" version of the ROM.
I downloaded and installed SWIFTBL Version 7.0 ROM. I also initially installed the 08 Radio but when the BS14 Version came to light, I trailled that. I currently still run it too.
Rom Updates:
Recently, I did update to SWLFTBL's 7.5 ROM but, and I'm not too sure why, the Diamond felt more sluggish. Battery life appeared to decrease too. I noticed that ActiveSync stayed live all the time and put it down to that.. Instead of searching the forum for the ActiveSync Killer, I decided to downgrade the ROM to the Version 7.0.. Afterall, if it's not broke, don't fix it..
Interestingly, after reading about AZTOR's ROMS, I installed his Version 7 WWE but again, I just felt that SWIFT's version 7.0 appeared best suited to me. I'm not really able to put my finger on it though. (Sorry AZTOR )..
AZTOR is an exceptional ROM Developer and his work deserves a lot of recognition on here. I'm keeping a close eye on his partnership with Swtos and the forth-coming ROMS that they're developing as I'm sure their ROMS will be the way I do eventually go
General Use:
I have to admit that the Diamond is not used much during an everage Day. When it is, it's more as a phone then a PPC.
The reason for this is that the position I hold at work requires me to have a Company Phone. Therefore whilst I am at work (such as now - Yeah, busy huh..?) the Company Mobile has to be used and further, the Company in question uses Lotus Notes, so I have to use a Palm Pilot for my Calendar, etc. WM6 & Lotus Notes, do not get along well together!
It's when I leave the office that the Diamond is used. I forward the Company Mobile to it. I'm also still fiddling a bit with it. I'm learning to install themes - Some successfully and some not. Still, it's a learning curve!
Customising:
I currently find that the Diamond is a lot harder to customise compared to my old MDAIII (Blue Angel). Simple things like installing a Theme are met with, so far, lots of non-occurrances. This is a little frustrating but I'm sure it's something I will pick upon - It's probably me doing something wrong! Still, at least I have the ringtone I want!
The Future
Next steps involve installing Tomtom on to it to assess it's capabilities. I'll have to get a Mount for the Phone first. I'll be ordering my Brodit holder next week. Once that's installed in the car I'll obtain a copy of Tomtom to see how it feels..
Anyhow, it's it for me for the minute..
Hope everyone's well..?

Hi MrPhilly,
I ended up on Swift's 7.5 ROM, and I'm pretty happy with it. I'm running the lite version, 12Mb pp, not sure which one you went for?
On TomTom, I've been running V6 on various devices - Diamond, Kaiser and Trinity. So far it's worked pretty well on all of them, and no real difference on the Diamond apart from the better screen resolution, which seems to work well.
I would be interested to know if your Brodit holder allows you to place the phone in landscape mode in the car - I believe this would make TomTom better, so please update us once you have it!

Hi mate,
yes, I was thinking the same. The Brodit holders are robustly made and feature a tight fit in the sides of the phone. The one I was using for my old Nokia was excellent but more so relied on gravity to ensure the phone didn't "pop" out of the holder.
From what I've seen so far, it looks like you could put the Diamond into Landscape mode however I'm not too sure how the Diamond would cope with "the lack of gravity" holding it in place.. If that makes sense..? hehe
Cheers.

Problem getting Japanese to work on 6.1

I work for a Japanese company, so I've added support for the language to WindowsMobile phones several times and never had these problems.
I install LetsJapanNo6 on a Tilt that's been upgraded to 6.1 and as soon as I type a few keys (regardless of the SIP used; even before any extra are loaded) it flips out and starts "typing" garbage and the only way to stop it is to soft reset. I've done a lot of other stuff without typing, and that seems to be the only time it happens. I tried installing IME_31J_QVGA_F first and making the necessary reg edits, but that didn't change anything.
I thought my files might be corrupt, so I re-downloaded them from a few different locations. I was going to use Effy's solution, but it doesn't have the type of SIP my people like to use.

Hmm... I remember I saw exactly the same behavior you are describing a little while back on my Tilt. If I remember correctly I was trying to install ookii.org's pocket dictionary and not LetsJapan at the time though. I never figured out what the deal was though as got rid of the device shortly after that.
I used to use LetsJapan on that same phone all the time without any issues, but I think that was before I upgraded to WM6.1, so maybe it is a issue with the WM6.1 rom for the tilt? I know it is not an issue with WM6.1 in general because I have LetsJapan running on my new Fuze without any problems.
If downgrading to WM6 is an option, you might try that and see if it works.

Try IME for WM6
Frode Aleksandersen ported or emulated IME on WM6...
I initially found it here...

HTC Tytn II freezes few seconds

Hi all,
First of all, let me wish you all a happy 2009
Since a few days my HTC Tytn II freezes sometimes: During several seconds I can't select items using the Stylus.. Even if i tap several times, nothing happens. It usually freezes for 2-3 seconds, not more.
I'm using the 6.1 ROM. I already tried a hard reset, and even without any additional programs installed, the problem occurs every now and then.
Anyone has an idea?
-moose

I've had this happen to me as well, but thought it normal just because of the OS being Windows. Sorry I don't really have an answer I'm learning all this stuff as well but did want to at least acknowledge your not the only one with this as an issue.

ok, but is it exactly what I'm experiencing? It's not always the case, only sometimes.. And I can't tell beforehand when it's going to happen actually.
I don't have lots of programs open when the problem occurs..

Par for the course with HTCs WM 6.1 'upgrade'
I had that problem with the HTC supplied WM 6.1 upgrade ROM (along with general unreliability and poor GPS performance). Reverting back to the WM 6.0 ROM/Radio/SPL seems to have cured those issues. Now the only problem I have is an occasionally laggy keyboard (or if I install the laggy keyboard fix here on xda-dev, then occasional pausing during media such as video and mp3 playback - haven't figured out how to solve both). I suspect your pausing is associated with radio/reception activity. Try turning it to flight mode as a test and see if it still occurs (not that the device is much use like this, but it will pinpoint the cause).

HI,
Thanks for reply. Do you know if there's an official (supported by HTC) way to revert back to the old windows?
I indeed upgraded recently to 6.1, and it seems that problems started after the upgrade.

You could complain and get HTC to do it

If your phone is still under warranty then just speak with the HTC Repair Centre for your area (in the UK they're in Milton Keynes). In my case because the GPS under WM 6.1 wouldn't work properly (and I was having the other problems you described), when I told them I needed a prompt solution they offered to revert it for free. After booking it in through their call centre, I left it with the repair centre in the morning and it was done at the end of that day. No there is no official way to do it yourself (even though one HTC call centre staffmember tried to tell me there was - the RUU package he referred me to was only for upgrading from even older WM 6.0 ROMs or reflashing over the same WM 6.0 setup, not reverting back from WM 6.1). There are unofficial ways as per instructions in the wiki so if you're not near to one of their repair centres (or object to the delay/costs involved with postage), then thats an option but make sure you know what you're doing first.
Assuming you have a European WWE HTC branded TyTN II, the setup in my sig seems to be working pretty well here in the UK.

The cure for this is to use the kaiser unlocker and unlock your phone. You will probably have to re-flash your radio after that but this fixed it for me. I only experienced after upgrading to 6.1.

I don't think thats an issue associated with any lock on the phone (although perhaps a lock may make it worse). My HTC branded TyTN II came totally unlocked to start with and after the WM 6.1 upgrade the problems came, after reverting to WM 6.0, they went - the solution seems simple to me if people can get past the 'against the grain thinking' of using an 'old' ROM for greater reliability.

I will confirm that this is happening on a HTC Branded unlocked TyTN II. I have had no experience with 6.0 on my TyTN II, as my phone came with 6.1 installed and exhibits the above mentioned behavior.
