Let me preface by saying that I know almost no one uses PIE anymore. I typically don't either, but until a stable Opera 9.5 is out, I'm using Opera Mini, PIE, and Skyfire. PIE unfortunately, is the only one of those three that I can access my bank account on right now.
PIE freezes the phone every single time I use it now. I don't know why. I have plenty of free memory left (both ROM and RAM) and nothing running in the background when I try to open it. I have KaiserTweak as well as MemMaid... should I tweak the IE settings in either of those apps? I don't know what the deal is, and I hate that I have to rely on PIE, but I do for now
did you use advanced config and change the temp internet files storage location to the SD card?
Yes. That was one of the first things I did when I got the phone. Are you saying this is good for performance or bad?
I'm saying thats your problem.
Well it's more of a suggested problem, it's a know issue with doing that.

Ok, I'll try putting it back to default and see how that goes. Thanks!
I had the same exact problem at once and i had to disable the proxy each time and sometimes it still wouldn't work. I hated using the internet. I then decided to do a hard reset and it fixed things (or i might have flashed to another ROM, can't exactly remember).
I migrated from a Wizard to a Kaiser and I ported quite a few things from old Kitchen - one of these was the registry entries to put IE temporary stuff on the Storage Card. This was my first mistake and I was flamed for asking why (search, search, search apparently...).
For some reason IE on the Kaiser dies a death when the cache etc is set to use the Storage Card. I changed the .RGU files in my kitchen and flashed a new ROM and I have not had a problem since.
Andy
Thanks for the posts guys, I appreciate it. I'm going to undo my Storage Card cache settings and hopefully all will be good.
Yep, that fixed it! Thanks again everyone!

This is the second time this has happened and I cant figure it out. I was running the 2.17 rom the first time. Then I now have Shoguns new beta rom and same thing has happened. I cant text or anything including mms, but that has never worked since I got this phone. When you try to open it nothing happens at all, like it ignores you or something. Other than that and the bluetooth not working anymore its all good.
Any ideas before doing another hard reset?

what all apps have you installed since installing the roms?
I installed all the apps on the ext rom installer but this happened before those were installed. The only programs I can think of that are the same is Opera, Total Commander, and tcpmp. If it helps any I was messing around with Omap trying to see if I could squeeze out a few more mhz and I froze it up. Come to think of it I cant soft reset unless the storage card is removed or else it will freeze on the omap program. Anyways I dont see how the entire messenging program stopped working. Any way this could be related?
DAVE
Just in case anybody cares about this thread I found out some strange info. With the storage card out everything works again. Put it back in and its all messed up. Also I cannot boot it up with the card in the phone anymore it hangs on the omap screen. Any way to make that screen not come up everytime? I couldve sworn it didnt used to pop up everytime I rebooted before. Card is not bad it works fine. I wonder if the program that turns the phone into a card reader has something to do with it?
Dave
Happen to me few time. Just start messanger from startup menu and it will work again.
I have had a similar problem with Messaging. Usually it works fine, but sometimes nothing will open Messaging will not open with any method, from the Today Screen item (it highlights, but never opens), the Mail buttonhas no effect, and the Start menu item has no effect. I found that deleting the Inbox.mstxxxxxx folder from the storage card would allow it to open again. Also, the phone would not see the MiniSD card, and create a "Storage Card" folder then the real storage card would be called "Storage Card 2" and that would also cause Messanger problems. This has happened in the past on this phone as well, without any custom ROMs and with multiple MiniSD cards. I took out a reg hack to show the ext ROM in the file system and it seemed to help the problem.
Just FYI this is on an 8125 with a SanDisk 1gb MiniSD card and Shoguns current public ROM and the 2.47.11 radio.
I ended up doing the hard reset anyways, but its good to know there may be a fix for this. I did see the files but they would not open and said the program was missiing or something like that. Its all good now thouugh, but thanks for the info. Im sure itll happen again.

Hi all, I got the ATT Tilt, and unlocked it, am overseas right now, i donwloaded opera mini over a wifi connection when i was home, now i am able to access the internet using opera mini (which is how i am posting now), but PIE remains stuck on "loading". Because of this, I am unable to download anything. What can I do to fix this.
Edit: Got it working, I had to hard reset and let the AT&T customizations install since the proxy option in the programs menu isn't there without the customoizations, then in Programs > Tools > Proxy Manager (I think), there is an option to remove Proxy, I tried it and it worked, then I went hunting in the windows folder and found a file called removeHiddenProxy4cws....cab, copied it to the storage card and then hard reset again and canceled the customizations, tried IE again, didn't work. I then executed the aforementioned cab file and tried PIE again, and it worked. Also of note is that the cab file is there even if the customizations aren't installed, so if your PIE is not working (note, it is not working, some people have lag problems which is a different issue), all you gotta do is execute the file and the proxy setting for PIE will be disabled.

I'm not sure if I had the same problem, but when I first got my Kaiser, I tweaked it like hell... and one of the tweaks was to set PIE cache to Stroage Card, and since I did it, PIE stoped working... in fact the whole device hangs and I had to soft reset...
anyway.. I changed the cache to the default, and everything works OK now...
I hope this could help
cheers
I had a similar issue when I first got my tilt as well. Not sure if this helps, but I had to run the little disable hidden proxy program which should be in programs/tools/proxy or something like that
You might have a look at this:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=337521
I noticed that on large websites (ebay, forums, etc) that PIE would stop about half way and freeze up causing me to have to soft reset. I started using the new DLL that I just pointed you to and PIE is fine now.
Problem solved, Check first post
Bump for problem solution.
I'm not sure what happened, but I was using PIE to view a website. I followed a link from another site and the new window opened about 50% and never loaded. After about 10 minutes of just sitting there I did a soft reset. Now when I go to use PIE it loads about 5% of a page and hangs / freezes and causes me to have to soft reset.
I deleted all cookies, temp files and history but no go. I looked in the \startup\ dir and there isn't anything new in there. There aren't any programs running either.
Everything else on the phone is working fine as far as I know.
Any ideas on how to get my PIE back?
Opps! Sorry, I just noticed I posted this in UPGRADING and it shouldn't have been there!
Same here but I am using NetFront v3.3 and Opera Mini. Let me know if resolved this problem.
I think I might have fix it. I fired it up and it appears to be working better now.
My OPERA 8.65 worked fine, and so did everything else.
What I had done was install Schap's Advancedconfig. After DESTALLING it (because there wasn't anything in there that you cant tweak by hand) it didn't reset the original values!
Anyway, the Glyph cache was changed and so was the file system cache and
file system filter cache. I guess it was TOO BIG and was greezing it. I changed the limi for GLYPHCACHE down to 16384 and did a soft reset and it seems to be back to normal.
Let me know if you get yours fixed.
usually pie freezes if u set the cookies to be stored on the storage card instead of device. It is also known that pie freezes when you use flash player 7 for ppc.
I've had cookies saved to storage since day 1 and never had any problems. I have read other's reporting the same thing as you suggested though. But for me, I have never experienced this problem.
if you have att tilt...what i did was install the removehiddenproxy.cab and it made the PIE freeze go away...you can find it in dutty's collection of cabs in the regular kaiser forums....what ROM are you using because some ROMs use the PIE scroll fix cab within the ROM and it has been known to make PIE freeze on most ATT Tilt devices...
just move all your temp internet files/cache/etc back to the device storage and it will work.
That solved my hanging issues.... I had to hard reset earlier on when I din know what to do....
Nice,
Was havin the exact same issue,and did have my temp stuff on the storage card-that did the trick!!! moved them back to the device and BINGO-working great.
Just working away on my brand new Treo Pro - came across the same problem. Never had this issue with any other phone before.
When Cookies, Temp Internet Files and History were moved to storage card - I locked up. move them back and it works perfectly.
I put JUST the Temporary Internet Files on the storage card and left history and cookies on the device - that seems to work also. Guess I will run with that.

How do you move them back?
So I always try to download large emails or file from PIE/Poutlook and the file starts downloading very fast, then nothing. It just stops downloading. Any ideas why ?
I have a fairly new duttys 6.1/ not the new one but the one before.
I've noticed this as well but have not found a fix for it. Whenever i try to download a ROM or Radio from here it stops downloading part way through.
I'd love to see if anybody has any experience with this problem.
I'm not saying that it happens from this site. For instance. I use my tilt to download that warcraft port, it stops at about 1/4 way in. The first 1/4 goes fast though, after that it can sit for a day and go nowhere. This of course happens on all larger files, not just this particular one.
Yeah, thats the same. I mean when i click a link to go outside of XDA (i.e. roms etc) that it quits shortly into the download. It seems to have happened with dutty's newer ROMS b/c i used to be able to.
i have occasionally downloaded a rom or two using pie and i noticed this.........the download progress bar stops moving, but i think the download is still continuing, cause eventually it finished, and file extracted fine, with no problems
Well I've let some 900k files transfer for hours, how long did you have to wait?
It happens to me to with the first download PIE has to do. I stop the download and try it again. The second time it works without problems.
I've been having download issues using Newsbreak an RSS reader. I have a dozen or so podcasts I normally download and lately they get stuck, consistently stuck

are you on ATT? I have an old cingular branded simcard.. what about you? I am lucky i have a friend with a Tilt.. i have taken his att branded simcard and inserted it into my phone, tested some downloads they appears to be working fine and sure enough my card in his phone is producing the same results I had.. INCOMPLETE DOWNLOADS..
now either its my sim card, or something is screwy with my account. I am trying to scam ATT, i have a unlimited smartphone data plan from an old phone that I quietly moved to my pocketpc. I'm hoping it's the OLDER sim card that is affecting me.
post any info if you can.
say it aint so, say it aint so. Man I guess I need to get my new sim activated, but I'm a little worried they will try to change my plan if I call in.
Any Update?
Checking to see if there was any update on this topic? I'm having the same trouble and wondering if I should replace my old cingular SIM card with a newer ATT one?
Mike
I am having the same problem since upgraded to Dutty's jun 7th rom. I know it is different from yours. I thought I was just special in having this problem. I don't see how it is the sim card that is the problem. I have the newest at&t sim card and have the problem.
Only since installing this rom have I had any problems. But I am signed up for the 15.00 dollar media net though.
I never use PIE, but it happens all the time in Opera 9.5 built 1184(I think). I just assumed it was an Opera 9.5 issue as I upgraded to Dutty's rom and Opera 9.5 on the same day. Before that I was using Mobile Vista with Opera 8.65.
I have the same symptoms as you, I start a download and the first 1/4th is fast, then it just stops. I close Opera and start the transfer again and it works.
jeff
bumb, would like an answer
Well that was ages ago I did swap my SIM card and since then have switched roms 10 or more times.. and still the same problem
It's very strange tho, I can get email attachments just fine. But if I try to do a download of an .mp3 or .cab or pretty much anything, I get the same results as you posted below. It' gets a certain portion of the download then stops never to restart.
REALLY SUCKS!

Same problem, but it also happens when I'm tethering to a PC (Vista). It's really apparent in youtube - it downloads 5-10 seconds ahead really fast, then just stops and as soon as player reaches that point, it just keeps trying to load movie further, and can't. If I manually move the slider forward, it will download 5-10 seconds, then stop again. It's 100% consistent.
Not sure if I should try switching back to Dutty's April rom (6.0) from my current 6.1
I to am having the same problem with my tilt. I cannot seem to D/L files. Any help with this would be great.
I've noticed recently the same thing, and I suspect it's Cingular. Anyone not using Cingular in this thread seeing it?
I also noticed that EDGE was really slow last week but that seems to have gone away.
If I switch to WiFi, no problems. And given the number of people mentioning this, I seriously doubt it's hardware/rom/etc.. I'm using the AT&T stock rom and radio.
my experience
well this is my experience, mind you I have att with the cheap medianet settings too. When my file downloading would stop id X(close) the pie window and you restart it it asks if you want to resume downloading. though this works, as time went on it seemed that the problem got worse. (id be resetting sometimes 10 times on a 4mb file) And then I wanted to download some larger files 300mb+ and didnt want to deal with this problem i noticed settings or different roms didnt help. So I moved my storage card to the computer and formatted my card 32k clusters with memmaid. now it seemed that i did have a corrupt file because this one music track would not erase easily i needed some program to get rid of it. after the card was formatted I put all my files back on it and I have not had a problem since. hope this helps some of you. also whenever you download something go to start\system\memory\storage card and you can easily see how much has transferred and how fast its transferring.
Hi,
Over the weekend, my Kaiser starting giving the error message that it was running low on memory, and i suspect that it was due to downloading large files and the system cache filling up.
I tried ClearTemp and MemAid to regain space and it was a temporary fix.
How ever last night my Today screen was not displaying correctly (only showing HTC Home) and a SPB Wireles icon citing that both Phone Alarm and SPB Wireless were unsigned and incorrect parameters.
I decided to check my 8gb MicroSD to reinstall the applications but virtually all data on it was erased (except for the files in use on the today screen) It was only half full.
I cant even access the settings page to modify my Today screen as the 'settings button is no longer there.
Has anyone experienced this and / or know of a fix. I prefer to exhaust all avenues before i hard reset and build it back again.
thanks in advance for your input.
Dear friend,
your situation looks very complicated. I have never faced such a problem,but I am aware of some similar problems....but those problems are very rare,though.
First of all you need to do some back up if you can and format your memory card on your PC.
Then find some good ROM,I suggest a non modified,stock ROM and flash your device.
I know this can be frustrating,but this is the only way to get your device to work again.
Although I do not know what exactly did you do before that problem appeared,the solution is very simple...new ROM.Stock HTC ROM would be the best.
Let me know if I was helpful.
Best regards,
Alexander.
Thanks, I ended up having to hard reset.
I have currently defaulted to the stock Aus3 Rom but am looking at trying the the WM6.1 Aus3 rom, or even a cooked rom!
It will depend how much time i have to try and fix things if it goes pear shaped again! I dont want to Brick my phone!
