Pocket Word has stopped working. Before you suggest a hard reset please read on.
Whenever I try load Pword it loads up, briefly shows the folders and then goes white with an empty bar at the bottom. It's as if it's attempting to load something as there is a cancel button at the button. But it's just completely locked and i have to terminate it manually.
At the moment I'm running G's Dk.10 but this has happened before when I was running one of Dutty's roms. Different screen but still wouldn't work.
I've only just finished customising my phone after the latest rom flash. I'm loathed to hard reset, especially when it might just stop working again. I've tried reinstalling office 6.1 but to no avail.
Changing radios couldn't affect Pword could it? I've flashed a couple of radios since it was last working. I'm probably grasping at straws here.
any suggestions other than hard reset?
Cheers
Yeah... A hard reset won't fix that... Try cooking a new ROM or something. My guess is that pword.exe became corrupted when the Kitchen built it. That has happened to many many many many system files of mine when I build custom ROMs.
EDIT: Removed. Double post. Doh!

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.
I recently got a Tilt and have tried several different ROMs including official and cooked, with and without apps and tweaks, and my Tilt always becomes unresponsive for a couple of seconds at a time, this happens no matter what I'm doing, whether it's web browsing, text/e-mail, playing a game, etc. Is there anything else that I can try?
EDIT: I hate my co-workers.
yes, you can try different SPLs

After flashing your device, are you doing a hard reset? You're a bit vague with the problem. It's probably a software issue so try to go a bit deeper in detail if you can.
The device will basically just stop repsonding for a couple of seconds at mostly random times, neither the keyboard nor the touch screen will repsond to any kind of input, then, after about 2-3 seconds the device will begin to repond again, though it won't take whatever taps I had done while frozen. Is there a particular SPL anyone would recommend?
EDIT: Nevermind, I think I got it.
EDIT AGAIN: Maybe not. I re-checked what SPL I had installed and noted that it said 1.0.OliPof, so I thought I'd try to upgrade to the latest HardSPL, but after a couple of attempts at flashing it, SPL-1.0.OliPof still comes up, is this normal, or is something wrong?
EDIT: Nevermind...again.
make up your mind already
this is well known thing in kaiser...
SPL fix will help to an extent but i assure you that you will always experience it even with Shipped ROMs and their SPLs
Kaiser Tweaks will help to reduce symptoms try it

Yes that's a known issue. This may reduce the frequency (did it for me):
- Disable the HTC task manager
- Disable OTA activesync and automatic SMTP e-mail checks
- kill the mstli.exe process if it's running (will start up with a legacy Home Screen plugin).
As to your co-workers: That's a little off-topic, but not unheard of at all
i searched and could not find anything about this issue.
i'm stuck at the startup screen where it shows the radio, rom versions in the lower right corner.
soft reset returns it to the same place, and holding down the power does nothing. removing the battery does nothing. and i'm physically unable to do a hard reset. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=413976
what can i do? i have hardspl 1.40, new radio and flashed one of the roms here. it was working for a while, then i installed a bunch of cabs, and unsuccessfully tried to hard reset about 25 times (i had 2 internal storage folders for some reason and i wanted to clean it up), gave up on hard reset, did a a memory cleanup by settings-clean memory-1234 way, soft reset several times while reinstalling cabs again and now it gets stuck at the screen...
fixed by going into bootloader manually and flashing the same rom again. it works now. but i'm going with another rom.
all was fine, then i installed the touch diamond 2 keyboard and didn't like the one with the arrows so i uninstalled and this same problem came up again. the last i suspected that was the cause too so this is just so it's documented that uninstalling the TD 2 keyboards causes this problem.
hard reset and putting all my settings again, oh joy....
Hi,
I have tried several ROMs, all of them work just fine until (after a period of time that may range from hours to days) and when I soft-reset my device, it acts like if I hard-reset it; goes through the setup, contacts gone.. etc. Anybody?
I do flash ROMs following the the steps in the related threads.
I've tried to search threads for anything like this, but I couldn't find any. (I hope I didn't miss any post, I know how annoying it would be for more to ask for something that was asked before).
Ah, and this is my first post! I'd like to thank all the devs for their outstanding work.
Thanks.
How do you reset the device from the back of the phone or from the software.
If you do it from the back of the phone, it should only do a saft reset not eraase anything.
If you do it using software on the phone, It maybe written to do a hard reset, I advise to check with the maker of the software or ROM what type of reset it is suppose to do.
