Hey everyone, I hope I'm not utilizing this posting section wrong.
Anyways, I just wanted to put out there that I think* that there is a problem with the kfortouchpro app (I apologize if this problem has been noted before). I dunno if it has to do with the rom I installed (RRE Fuze 4.2 hybrid, which is one of my faves) or if there is just something wrong with my phone.
The Problem:
After playing with Pocketsnes or Morphgear. If I forget to turn M$ IME back to t9, and then reset the device, the device would not boot to the today screen. When the device is reset, it will show the at&t logo, but then the next screen would remain black (the back light is on tho).
I've tried resetting several times and also did so with the bootloader screen. But none of them worked.
So annoyingly, I had to flash my rom to get the phone working again (had to do this 5 time already!!).
I even flashed first with stock rom then custom rom.
If anyone knows how to get that the today screen back after such an incident. Please let me know. And if anyone knows what exactly is wrong please do tell.
Thanks all for reading.
I've had exactly the same problem! Going to have to hard reset again
the same problem here, very frustrating

I know this is my first post here but I've done my best to search the forums and I haven't found anything that looks like it helps me.
I just got my AT&T Tilt yesterday. It came unlocked (I'm using it with T-Mobile) and has an HTC ROM installed as well as various other apps (Ms. Pacman, TomTom 6, SuperDoku, etc.). I had some issues with it locking up yesterday (similar to what I'm experiencing now but to a much, much lesser degree) when I was playing around with it but those issues somehow corrected themselves.
This morning I installed the Tilt keyboard fix that TaurusBullba posted on here back in June to fix some mapping issues. Since I installed and soft reseted, everything has been going kinda haywire. The Wi-Fi turned itself off and I can't turn it back on. When I slide out the keyboard the orientation stays in portrait mode. When I try to shut down the phone using the power button it hangs forever. Now, actually, half the time I press the power button nothing happens at all.
I've tried uninstalling the CAB but that didn't fix anything at all. I'm afraid to try a hard reset because, from my understanding, I'm going to lose everything that came pre-installed on my phone for me. I should probably also add that last night I installed the Google Maps CAB with no problems whatsoever. Is there some simple solution I'm overlooking? Thanks much!
I would advise that if you have tried soft resets to try and resolve the issues and it hasn't worked, then perhaps a hard reset?
It sounds as if the software you have installed as either caused the problems or exacberated them (ie made them worse).
With hard reset it wipes everything back to when you got it. If you are able I would suggest that you plug it into the computer and make sure ActiveSync backups up your contents. You may also want to use this get all the files on the main memory either to the storage card or to you're PC.
As this is yo're first post I don't know how au fait you are with the above that I have mentioned
The preloaded apps will be reloaded again. You won't have an empty ROM if you do a hard reset. It will be as if you just flashed the ROM again.
Thanks for the replies guys. I went ahead and did a hard reset and it looks like the only thing I lost (or at least the only thing I miss) was TomTom. I've already reinstalled that using a link I found on here, and everything seems to be good to go.
I still have no idea what might have caused the problems though, so I'm afraid that they might come back or I might repeat some dumb mistake I made. I guess I'll just have to live with that for now.
clear storage / hard resets no big deal, just expect to do it every other week while you're finding all the cabs that work (or dont work) for you..
I generally clear storaged every week when i first got my tilt until I found all the app's I liked that didn't have side effects
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.
Ok so I think I have some sort of problem here. Previous Kaiser started to act up (hardware keys and keyboard stopped working even after a hardreset) so I took the measures needed to get the phone back to factory stock conditions. Got the refurbed tilt in the mail today and of course tried to get it to the way my previous tilt was. Here is where I think I went wrong.
I placed JumpSPL1.56-KAIS on my phone and ran it and got the tri-color screen and what not. I think after this step I was supposed to install hardspl onto the phone but I forgot that step and instead installed a rom instead. The rom installed but it was the wrong one (Dutty's Hybrid NO.7b TouchFlo Final vs the one I really wanted: Duttys_New_years_Rom_2k8_[DualTouch_v2]). At this point I noticed my error because I tried to do the same thing again but when it got the rom% loaded screen it just stayed at 0% and froze.
From here I went through the motions to install hardspl properly but got the same results as above (freezing at 0%). Is there any way to correct this? I would really like to switch this rom (not that it's bad, it's actually a very solid rom but not what I want). Thanks in advance for any advice!
*Edit* Also for some odd reason I have no sound from the phone when getting a phone call (and yes I checked the settings and it's not muted).
*EDIT* Ok I'm really sorry for starting this thread. I figured the problem out. It wasn't even hardspl I was trying to install. Not sure what is was. I got the correct file and installed and updated the rom. Sorry again.
you did many things wrong, but atleast its working now. I would bet all you needed to do was reset phone/computer. as far as the sound issue, it is found everywhere. It is the result of an incompatible radio.
I have had my G1 for about 6 months. I flashed a custom ROM few months ago, everything has worked fine. Few days ago something weird started happening. The screen will NOT light up when the phone is closed, doesn't matter what buttons I press or what I do, the screen will stay black. The only time the screen turns on is when I open the phone. When the screen is on and the phone is open and I close the phone, the screen will go dark and shut off...
I have tried hard reset that didnt help. Next think i would try is to format the phone and load up new OS.
Before I do that I would like to know if this happened to anyone else. Also I would like to know if this is hardware related or OS related.
Please help me!
Its still in warranty right? flash the stock rom and send it back, tell them you did a hard reset to try and fix it but it didn't work (explains away why your data isn't on the phone)
Sounds like a hardware issue. As Newbie said, reflash the stock ROM, if that doesn't fix it take it back to Tmo (assuming you're on a contract).
Hi guys,
I've got a bit of a problem with my friends X1...
A while ago I updated my X1 to WM6.5 and it works perfect...
But last week my friend asked me to update her phone as well, so I did
Now here's the problem:
After updating, the phone got stuck on loading, it didn't even get past the SE screen...
Turned it on and off for a couple of times, soft reset, hard reset, nothing worked...
I was still able to get the phone in the tri-colour screen, so I did, and I installed a stripped down version of WM6.5
And it worked!
But this afternoon she called me up to say that the phone was having problems again.
She often can't turn it on, and when she can it seems as if it has lost all of its memory again, comletely blank as if you just got it out of the box... (So you have to setup your screen again, the time and date etc...)
I did it exactly as id did mine, and mine still works perfect...
What could have gone wrong?
First I put Hard-SPL on the device.
Then I used the rom update utility from christian-web.nl/sections.php?section=Xperia_rom (I used version 3.810)
And thats it!
Does somebody have any idea what could be the problem?
Thanks,
Rob
A few days back I read somewhat of the same story, about the phone hard resetting by itself. Can't recall where, but it was somewhere in the Xperia section of this forum.
Did you do a hard reset after flash? Or maybe task29 before flashing her phone?
Try the hard reset first and see if that helps.
