I'm starting to have issues with my messaging program a lot lately and thought I can see if anyone has some sort of insight for this.
My Tilt is unlocked and my service is T-mobile. This problem occurred a few days ago and now I can't seem to open the program to check my email or even my text message (since its integrated together). I do not even get any alerts for this which is another huge problem. Would anyone know what could cause this issue? If it would be any help when I select the message program I notice its busy working but it does not open the program. Please, any help would be appreciated.
Thanks in advance!
I had the same problem Twice. Do you have any mods on your phone or are you running the stock rom? In any case the only remedy I found was a hard reset. Good luck to you maybe you can find another route.
First off I AM Mr. Jimmy... Not you.. lol.
Now, soft reset if you haven't. Then pull your battery for 30 seconds and reinsert. If that does not work go into your File Browser go into your Windows directory find tmail.exe open it and see if it will open. If not time to hard reset. If yes delete your email settings and readd them and see... try a new shortcut if it works through windows.
Well time to bring this back from the dead. Since I continue to have problems not to mention I can't even access my SMS at all now.
dantegl36 - no mods at all I am running the updated ROM version thats out.
JimmyMcGee - Yes you may be the Mr.Jimmy but I have the name to back it up LOL Any case I've done what you've mentioned and yet I still have the same problem. Even a hard reset I tend to run into this issue at least once a month which is pretty lame.
Would anyone recommend if I just back up all my stuff including rom, radio, etc and just have the phone work off a home brew version instead?
I'll make sure i'm on top of this thread more. Thanks
Hey there,
A bit new, just finished loading Duttys WM6.1.5.2.1972_Hybrid_V2_1_65.14.06[CubeV2] Rom. Seems great at first. Had to download Goodlink for the corporate stuff. It works fine for a bit, but as soon as an Outlook reminder pops up, suddenly the touch screen is completely dead. Tried all buttons etc on the front. The keyboard works and the buttons can be used as the menu choices, but it took a hard reset to fix it. Which then I had to reload Goodlink and it happened again.
Any patches or settings anyone can think of? Goodllink is the only add in I put in. Any other ROM's recommended perhaps? Thanks all!

I notice this is your fisrt post so welcome. There is a great deal of helpful experience here to help but it does certainly pay to pose questions in the correct place. If you ever have a question about a ROM then post your question in that area and you will be far more likely to get the helpful anser that you want. People are also sometimes too quick to 'Flame' people making such errors - but not me so hopefully this will help:
I am on that same ROM and have noticed that after initial ROM installation that the touch screen is initially 'prone' to what appear to be freezes. In fact I noticed on my device that I had to press quite hard to get any interaction with the screen and sometimes it did not respond.
Cannot say why but this has now completely gone and did so with each ROM install. It took a few soft resets to see the screen working correctly but it is great now! So it may not be your additional software. Just try sticking with it for longer and some soft resets. You might also try tweaking the sensitivity of the screen.
Suggest you search within the correct area and you'll see few comments about this kind of thing (but not many).
Regards
Thanks Tony. My first time posting so wasnt sure where to put it. Have done all you suggested. Worse case, back to the ATT rom, oh well. Will search also and try posting in the right location. Thanks!

i just reviewed the software online and i can make several predictions why this is conflicting with the rom. 1) htc home
go to settings>personal>today>items>and uncheck htc home.
let me know if goodlink works thereafter if not I have a few more predictions to why it doesn't operate correctly.
Oh, and i just noticed you had a cube version, which could also be conflicting.
Thanks for the input Red. Tried that to no avail. Even tried soft reset afterwards. It is dead before goodlink even starts. BTW, this will be worth a Pint or two if you get me working.
I thought it might be the Cube version so after several hard resets(storage clearing), I went ahead and flashed it with Dutty's Non Cube version just to see if that was it and it wasn't. I tried tuning the touch screen too, bumping sensitivity up to 200, didnt help either. Tried loading the tweaks program, but nothing there either helped(actually cant even use it when frozen). The keypad, buttons all work, but the touch screen is dead. Hard reset fixes it, loading Goodlink, which I have to have for its a corp phone, kills the touch screen. I believe it worked for a few minutes, then locked up. I need to reverify that just to make sure it didnt happen immediately with Goodlink install. Very strange.
This is my first time using this site and it's great! I'm sorry for any stupid questions I ask that may have been answered somewhere else already. I have the ATT Tilt/HTC Kaiser 8925 and love it...recently the ringer randomly switches to vibrate. It does it sometimes when I'm using the calendar/appointments and sometimes when I haven't even touched it. I've seen tons of posts on HTC Home versions that affect it but I found (then lost) a thread that said something about about a Registry Edit you could to to fix it? Any help would be greatly appreciated or any other thoughts that may help fix this. I keep missing calls and it's driving me crazy!! Thanks so much!
i haven't searched yet, but mine will switch to any level, i keep it on vibrate while at work(Kohl's) and today it switched to loud while in my pocket and i didn't realize it till my VC started to read an extremely long text in front of my boss. fortunately he thought it was the coolest thing ever but he said it will never happen again or i'm fired(ass hole) but yeah i will post what i find when i search later

Thanks so much for your help! Yeah, this is driving me crazy..pretty much every time I'm using the calendar/appointment fucntion, it switches automoatically to vibrate from ring and vibrate. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks again!!!
Are you using a stock ROM?
Unless people have had the exact same problem, it's going to be hard to help you without more info on what software is on your device.
If it does happen to be a random occurrence, a hard reset usually fixes it.
i have a similar problem with my tilt
i have noticed this hapening on my tilt which is running duttys latest rom. its only been happening in the last fed weeks.
ive also noticed that sometimes the phone will ring for a couple of seconds then go into vibrate mode as well.
i found my problem to be the settings in spb phone suite. if you have any profiles set etc if you change the system settings spb phone suite will automatically change them back after like 10-20 minutes. hope this is a help to some people. but i was about to go crazy till i sat and stared long and hard at my phone and realized what could also be the problem. i no longer have the issue!
i think this happens when your profile is set to automatic... it takes your status from your calender (if you have set it to busy in some meeting) it will switch to vibrate and if there is nothing for you in the calender it switches to the normal mode.....
I had the problem, then I flashed to L26 v6 and no more problems.

*Dumb question, but how and where do you SET your PROFILE? There's tons of options on the phone, but I don't know of anywhere to change something that says profile from automatic to something else? Any info. on that would be great and I'll try your solution. I'd rather not do a hard reset if I can help it. Thanks!
Having the same issue. Saw this post:

Looks like this might be due to HTC Home. It appears there is an update / fix:
http://www.4winmobile.com/forums/ht...ugin-all-icons-coloured-clocks-1-package.html
Okay, so to those of us who have problems with screen ignoring/being very slow with screen taps and/or buttons, read on.
I flashed ROMeOS ROM and started having problems where I would tap on something, and it would ignore it. I would keep tapping and tapping, but nothing happened. Sometimes, even hardware buttons were ignored, about 40% of the clicks. I never had that problem with Dutty's Diamond ROM or WM6 ROMs. Issue seems to be related to latest 6.1 builds... or so it seemed at the time.
After pulling out half of my hair, reflashing all kinds of ROMs, reflashing to latest HardSPL, etc etc... I almost threw my kaiser at the wall.
First I thought it's TouchFLO, then I thought that it's the latest 6.1 ROMs.. then I thought it's related to 3.56 HardSPL.. well eliminating those factors one by one DID NOT fix the problem. Right now I went 100% to stock ROM (one it came with) and AT&T's original SPL. I started having sound problems (w/e radio I tried did not work) so I flashed Hyperdragon Wm6.1 ROM.
About 90% of the problem is phone ignoring ANY kind of touchscreen taps/drags.
About 10% of the time its the hardware buttons that have the problem - for example I push "call" (or any other softkey) button, and nothing happens, while touchscreen could be working fine at that time. In about 10 seconds, hardware buttons would start working again.
Some information that was gathered from this thread and personal research:
It looks like problem is NOT related to the following:
- POWER. Connecting phone to AC power does not solve the problem. Subjectively, it may improve it a little.
- BLUETOOTH/WIFI. Problem persists with EVERYTHING disabled and phone being in Airplane mode.
- PARTICULAR 6.1 ROM. I had this problem on ANY 6.1 ROM I tested (and I tested all the way from AT&T almost-official WM6.1).. maybe that's why they didn't release it?
- OPERA browser. Some people never had Opera and they still have this problem (please confirm this!).
- SPB/WISBAR interface software. Although having Wisbar stuff does make it a lot worse for me.. and I still have the problem without SPB or WISBAR installed.
- S2U2 screen lock. Still had the problem w/o S2U2 installed.
- iGo 2006 or iGo 8. Many users with this problem never used iGo.
Problem MAY be related to the following (needs more research, please help):
- Original SPL versus HARDSPL 3.XX
- WM6.0 versus WM6.1 (I don't think I had any problems running original AT&T 6.0 ROM, but I did have sound (radio) problems, so had to flash 6.1). Several users report that WM6.0 is immune to this problem.
- A combination of running WM6.1 with latest HardSPL?
- Custom ROM VS Original ROM. Perhaps problem is in the tweaks to the registry.
- Simple things like overtime connection weakening in touchscreen connection to the mainboard. Whoever can open a Kaiser could try to replug/clean it and report back to us.
- Radio version. Should be easy to test, just need to reflash all kinds of older radios and see if problem persists.
Please make sure that you test your phone with some touchscreen intensive games/software a lot for AT LEAST 3-4 days. I had it happen several times where it would be fine after reflash for about a day or so, and then it would come back in full force.
BRICK?
In my case, running HTC WM6.0 ROM with HTC SPL DID NOT fix the problem, I can even say it made it worse. Touchscreen would respond to about 10% of the screen taps. Tap pressure doesn't make any difference.
Also, running AT&T stock shipped ROM with stock shipped radio and SPL did not fix it. I guess at this point, nothing will. Waiting for replacement tilt.
Hope nobody else will get it as bad as I did. All I can say is... make those relfashes count.
Hmm isn't Touch Flo one of the cool things with the Kaiser??? How do you navigate in programs now it's disabeled?

So if you have similar problems - try using Shnaps' Advanced Config to disable the TouchFLO altogether.
Another thing that I've used is PocketMechanic to clean up the notification queue. After fresh install of HypreDragon (latest as of Aug 5), I had 46 duplicate notifications. Removing those seemed to ease the problem, but NOT fix it. Disabling TouchFLO seemed to finally fix it.
I hope this helps somebody. I'll update this thread if I keep having this problem..

Never really caled for it, I use my hardware buttons (D-pad) to scroll, I find TouchFLO to be too unreliable... maybe it's just me, but nothing beats a hardware button which you actually "PUSH".

Do you have the same problem?
Hello,
First off thak you for the post. Ive got two identical Tilts both with the exact same radio/boot/roms. One has this issue and the other doesnt. I will be disabling it on the one havong the issue and report back! Thanks much!!!
I was also having this problem. my biggest complaint was my keyboard was all over the place. Sometimes it wouldnt see key strokes at all, other times one key hit would register as 3 or 4.
Sent a few test messages and This seems to have helped.
THANK YOU!!!
My Kaiser was getting close to being flashed back to a WM6 rom or quite possibly embedded in a wall.
where do you find cab for touchflo? I was looking for that but could not find it.

Try playing around with the TouchFLO sensitivity options in KaiserTweak
i upgraded to official 6.1 about two weeks ago...
i recently started having the "missed taps" problem...
i have a feeling that KaiserTweak has something to do with the issue...if memory serves, i don't remember experiencing the issue BEFORE i played with the "TouchFLO->Sensitivity" and "TouchFLO->Finger Pressure" options...i just launched KaiserTweak right now and its showing those values as set to defaults where as i could've sworn i changed them to the advised settings a day or two ago approximately when i started experiencing the issue...just a point to clarify, i was only playing around for no particular reason and my taps were not problematic before
i've just changed them to the advised settings and did a soft reset to see if these are the kind of settings that are forgotten after a soft reset...but they stuck...so i'm gonna observe this for a couple of days with the advised settings effective and see if they have reverted to defaults on first sight of the issue...i'll report back here if that happens because that would be a pretty strong correlation...almost enough to prove cause and effect
Well, problem is, last time I've used KaiserTweak was like a year ago, so my touchscreen problems cannot be linked to KaiserTweak. I don't even have it on my tilt.
Also, it's definitelly not a touchscreen itself, since this problem is application-dependent. Once again, S2U2 and Opera are immune to this problem. Windows' build-in apps (file explorer, bottom bar, etc) all suffer from it.
I've noticed this too, but I've found a slightly longer tap seems to make things reliable for me.. Instead of a quick 'jab' if I sort of touch it, it seems to be better.
and keyboard too I've noticed.. I mostly notice it with the hard keys rather than the keyboard, but I don't use the keyboard a lot.
I'll try looking for duplicate notifications, what else will do that besides MemMaid? I might reinstall it, it was handy. I previously found phoneAlarm would grow notifications over time, I suppose I need to watch for that anyway.

True, if I keep pushing on the screen button, in about 5 seconds it will be clicked. But that's ridiculous, i gotta say.

I use PocketMechanic - good stuff. Has lots of useful functions, including notification queue cleanup and analysis.
Just had another "seizure" - touchscreen would not respond AT ALL for several minutes. No matter what or how I tap - complete ignore.
After couple of minutes it started working again.
Interesting that S2U2 worked fine. Seems that windows just chooses to ignore touchscreen input.
I'm forced to return to WM6.0 ROM...
Please, anybody look into this.. phone is becoming to be unusable - I can't even enter a phone number.

Yeah it's really bad here. I've tried all sorts of tricks, including:
Re-install 6.1
Re-install 6.1 with the recent radio update found on the e-club
Install SPL 3.56
Disable HTC today screen
Kaisertweaks - tweaks on and off
Disable radio completely (seems to help, but makes the device useless)
Disable activesync
Disable quickgps
For now, I've done 2 things that seems to help:
- Disable the HTC task manager - improves the responsiveness
- Kill the MSTLI.EXE process - improves on the number of freezes
But I still experience freezes, and it's really getting to me. I need a responsive device, not this c****

I concur, it is application specific. I tried to run the "Task manager" from Fdcsoft to see if it was related to a process eating up all the CPU. But the problem doesn't occur while the application is focused.

Oh wow, not a LONG PRESS, literally a 'touch' vs a 'tap'. What you describe would be seriously annoying.
Thanks for the suggestion, I'll look at it
I posted a thread below concerning xpress mail not working, and it's a big hassle. I'm on the verge of going to the ATT store and returning it but need to know if there's an easy way to uninstall the "Comm Manager" app I installed from this site, and have the default one come back ? Thing is, if I go to the corporate store, and they have a look at it to troubleshoot, and see the hacked Comm Manager, they might just tell me to take a walk because whatever went wrong is likely my fault.
I'd really rather have a nice working Tilt, but it just seems to be getting worse and worse every time I pick it up ! Here's a quote from a different forum explaining:
I'm no longer receiving mail, and I'm not able to add any new mail accounts. When I tap on add new email account, it simply brings me to the yahoo inbox. Then, if I hit Menu>Tools>new account, it goes nowhere. Or if I go to options, and hit the new account option, nothing happens at all.
What the heck could I have possibly done ? I don't recall making any system changes that would do this ? As said earlier, I only installed comm manager and Kaiser tweak. Could either of those programs have changed the nature of what is happening now ?
I'm pretty much on the verge of taking the Tilt back today, because this is the biggest hassle I've had with a phone. I thought that the power behind WM 6 would be a bonus on top of having a good phone, but it's not looking that way. I was willing to tweak it to hell, but if I can't get to the bottom of why the phone is acting this way (hardware, or software issue ?) then I'd rather not waste the rest of my 30 day evaluation figuring it out, then having it be too late to exchange it.
So it's either the Treo 750, the Centro or the iPhone. And if I find out that I'd be able to change the SIM on the iPhone when I travel over seas, I'll likely just get that, despite the lack of cut/paste and some other stuff.
Sorry if this is technically cross posting or double thread posting etc.. I really need some help here !
Doug
Perform a hard reset and see if that clears up the issue. Then install one thing at a time and see if that thing breaks your mail.
Thanks, but I've done several hard reboots now, even followed directly by soft boots, and nothing has worked at all. I'm literally about to head out to the ATT store to see if they can help, and if not, it's getting exchanged.
