First of all, thank you ALL for the immensely helpful tools you guys are posting and uploading. You people are awesome. Now for my problem: I bought the HTC Diamond a few days ago, tweaked it using your tools and all, but the phone just WON'T STOP FREEZING on me. I have to soft reset it all the time, and even THEN it freezes sometimes and I have to reset AGAIN! What the **** is going on? Is my phone screwed up, or is it a common problem with WM6? Aside from this problem I'm fairly happy with it. If someone here can help me solve this and make it work like it should I'd be more than just _fairly_ happy with the Diamond.
What tweaks did you use? I've heard that some performance tweaks makes the phone freeze alot, you might have to do a hard reset.

Hi,
I got a TYTN 2 in Singapore recently. It worked fine for a few days, but now it is very sluggish in its response and also hangs frequently.
Any Tips/ Tricks/ Advice anyone?
Also my GPS doesnt seem to work either. I tried a program called MapKing that came with the CD and some other stuff from sites. Nothing is able to detect the GPS, setting is at COM4, 57600
Thanks in advance

My Tilt is having the same problem: it wasn't sluggish, but was hanging a few times a week, so I went ahead and flashed the HTC ROM. Almost immediately, it seemed more sluggish than it had before, and still hangs a few times a week (sometimes I actually have to pop out the battery to even restart it).
I'm sure that's a very vague description, so I'd be happy to provide any further information that might help.
Thanks!

Hey, to reset, i never popped the battery, i just removed the sim card slot lock, and it would turn off completely. Dont know tho, might be dangerous. Would you tell me which rom are you using? Is it Helmi_Kaiser_1.57.00.02BigStorage_AKU.0.7.0.Cooked.exe ? I am thinking of using this one now.

Mine encounter lag every now and then. especially evident when using opera to surf. Screen will just freeze and have to wait a few seconds before I can do anything.

I've never tried to reset by unlocking the sim card - can anyone confirm that that's a safe, easier way to reset? Either way, I'd rather not have to reset at all.
Anyway, I'm using the ROM with the filename: "RUU_Kaiser_HTC_WWE_1.56.405.5_radio_sign_22.45.88.07_1.27.12.11_Ship.exe"
I don't know much about ROMs, and that's the only one I found easily in the forums. Maybe it's a bad ROM, which would explain performance poorer than that of the original Tilt ROM. Can anyone recommend a better ROM?
Fixed?
Just to catch up here:
I've been using dutty's ROMs for a few weeks, and the device is much more responsive. I still have occassional hangs, but I can usually soft reset - maybe once every week or two I get a hard hang that requires me to remove the battery.
Currently using: Dutty's NewBuild Rom N0.6 +NETCF 3.5 AT&T.zip
Awesome ROM!
i have the same hanging as described above ... screen doesn't react. effects typing on the keyboard also ... i hope this can be fixed by new roms or by some fix. I am trying to figure out what is causing this since it doesnt happen all the time. say when i am playing solitaire for an hour it runs great, when typing an email it gets bad again...
anyone had any similar experiences ?
update: going to try dutty's rom as suggested above will see how it goes
ok, so after a few days with dutty's rom no.6 my device seems fine with exactly the same programs installed. my guess is either it was caused due to using an at&t rom including the radio on a kaiser or some problem with the custel 2.0 rom (and probably a few others).
hope this helps someone ...
Before i begin: I apologise if this is a common issue, I have done a couple of searches but as i dont have access to a computer atm this was done on my kaiser - not very easy. There is therefore a very good chance i have missed the solution if there is one. Please don't flame if this is the case.
Hi, I'm have a constant problem with my kaiser where if i put it into standby it won't come back out. I have made no changes between it waking up successfully and it now not.
I originally had the stock 02-uk rom which never caused me any problems. I then decided to flash to dutty's rom which i'd heard nothing but good things about. this didn't suit me so i reflashed to confused stu's mob vista 1.2 within the day. i decided to stick with this rom. a week later and everytime my phone entered standby it was refusing to come out. the phone could still receive calls but wouldnt show any signs of ringing and wouldnt allow me to answer them. I decided that as i was about to hard reset anyway i'd flash to v1.3 of mob vista. about a week in again and i cant wake the device from standby.
this is beginning to become seriously annoying and time consuming. I'm not sure if its rom related. all i can say is it never happened on the O2 rom but has on both 1.2 and 1.3 of mob vista. I can't comment on dutty's as i didnt have it long enough.
if anyone knows of any existing threads related to this that would be helpful.
Thanks a lot.
Ok i kept searching and found this thread which has the solution.. i think.
Its to do with the USB advanced network funtionality. With it turned on the phone works fine, when its off the phone sticks in standby.
Does anyone know what causes this. I have always had it turned off as my computer doesn't like it and yet i havent had a problem until recently. would it be to do with WM6.1?
Hey Guys I have a serious Problem with my MDA II running Windows Mobile 6. For nearly 2 month everything worked out great but since 4 days the organizer is incredible slow even while in the bootloader.
The memory is clean, 28mb/31mb are free but it is still slow as hell.Every action takes ages, even deleting takes several minutes or gets stuck after some time. I tried to run sktools which did not help at all. Softresets also do not help, everything stays the same. When I try to hardreset i cannot select anything in the bootloader, the whole pda freezes.
I have not changed anything in the last days, no new software or stuff so i really do not know what could be the problem or how to fix it.
I really hope someone had the same Problem like me and was able to fix it. Any help is really appreciated!
Please help me
Hard reset will be a good solution.

I recently falshed the new WM6.1 ROM from the HTC website. The only problem I can't seem to get around is when the phone is locked and put in sleep mode, a few seconds later the screen will flash white for a second. And then periodically blink white. Mainly I don't want to waist precious battery life. Its now driving me insane. I've looked and searched for hours on hours and can't find anything like this.
I've hard reset, soft rest. Got rid of the bloatware. But still got this blink.
Any help would be greatly appreciated!
Thanks in advance!
I've came across this several times with many 6.1 roms. I am not sure if a fix exists. However, this has never bothered me. I simply click the power button twice and the blinking stops. Hope this does the same for you.
All The Best.
Same thing happens to me. I will be watching to see what the response is. Bugs me too. No idea how many times that's happening while it's in my pocket or something - not good for battery life and can't be good for the screen either...

As already mentioned several WM 6.1 ROMs suffers from screen flashes relating to power management issues. Using the latest HTC WWE WM 6.1 ROM the TyTN II will occasionally require two button presses to come out of power saving mode.
If you were happy/happier with the WM 6.0 ROM complain to your ROM provider and if necessary request it be reverted (or read up here and once you know whats required, do it yourself). I don't see any 'new' official ROMs coming for this device now it's comparitively elderly, so I think it'll be up to you to come up with a solution.
HTC has provided an HotFix for that issue at :
AT&T Tilt WM 6.1 Backlight HotFix
But Truely speaking, I installed and it didn't worked for me.
It might work for you, so just give a try.
Regards,
Thanks guys. I'll try the double push of the power button and see if it works, if not I live with it a little longer, till I go mad.
If I can't take it anymore I'll just re-flash to a different ROM.
Once again, thanks for the replies.
By the way the BACKLIGHT HotFix didn't work for me either. I think thats mainly to fix issues with the backlight timer always reverting back to 10 seconds, no matter what the user setting is.
Been lurking around for quite a bit now, been flashing my diamond since i discovered xda-dev, and with that goes out awesome thanks to the chefs out there for pushing what our phones can do, and how quickly they do them!
Though I've run into a problem that search cant seem to find an answer to!
My Diamond requires a Hard Reset about every 12 hours, and if it doesn't, then all programs disappear, and eventually it'll hard reset itself!
I was running CT's 6.4 for 2 months without a single lockup, decided to flash topaz r6, then back to CT's 6.4 and then bam, problem started. I've tried numerous roms, seems to have developed into a chronic problem with all of them.
I've managed to uncover this problem, or very similar to this with other devices, especially when moving to a wm6.5 rom, and it seems the fix is to flash back to a stock rom, then to the rom of choosing!
But this is where I'm on the confused side. My phone is a branded (rogers) diamond, htc doesn't seem to have released a stock rom for this phone, so I'm not sure how to go about fixing the problem!
If someone has some insight, you'd be a huge help! Thanks!
Just flash ANY stock ROM. Doesn't need to be branded. Just one that is not cooked. Any one that is released by HTC or a Telco should do the trick.
if flashing a stock rom doesnt fix your problem have a look here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=3433851&postcount=22
cobbs,
After 3 weeks, that quick fix solved the problem right away!
I appreciate you digging out that answer for me!
