Freeze when using hardware keyboard - Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General

I no longer am having issues, thanks to everyone who offered advice.
My Tilt freezes whenever I slide out my hardware keyboard.
It does not matter what program I'm using. It doesn't matter whether or not the phone is on standby or on when I slide out the keyboard. It only happens when I slide out the keyboard. I can use the on-screen controls to go to landscape and it doesn't cause issue.
Hard resetting only temporarily fixed it. It seems to come and go. It had stopped today, for no apparent reason. Now, after having installed the RRKeyboard Fix cab, it started happening again. I uninstalled it, and the freezing stopped for about 5 minutes. Then I plugged my phone into my computer to Sync my calendar appointments, and it froze again.
Just now, I discovered that if I wait long enough my phone seems to work
correctly.
I am using the official 6.1 Tilt ROM. I have not changed my Radio, and my SPL says
"KAIS1*0 MFG
SPL-1.0.liPof
CPLD-8"
Does anyone have any ideas about fixing this?
EDIT: I just discovered that this only happens when using my phone normally. While checking my SPL information, I decided to slide out the keyboard and see if it messed anything up, I then plugged in a USB cable and it recognized it.

very weird maybe try installing teh official rom again( not hard resetting)

I thought of that, but instead decided to use this as an excuse to try a custom ROM. I am using Shifu's v10 and this issue appears to be gone. Here's hoping it stays away.

Spl! Spl! Spl!
dduuuuuuddddeeee!!! your SPL version is out of whack for your 6.1 ROM version!!! direct yourself to the wiki and the search button to see what the recommendations are regarding how to ensure matching SPL, radio, and ROM versions!!!

I don't think that's the issue, since I was using that SPL for a long time without issue. I changed to JockyW's 3.56 while installing Shifu's ROM so it's not really an issue anymore.

I imagine your problem has gone away since flashing a custom ROM, or you probably would have said something. I was wondering, however, if you had tried tweaking any Advanced Config settings (assuming you had it installed).
For instance, there's an option in Advanced config under the "Miscellaneous" category called "Enables or disables Kaiser WM6.1." I don't really know what this does, but the long description is: "Enables or disables the Kaiser WM6.1 landscape cleartype hacked (regarding D3D driver issue).
I have this disabled, especially since I'm using a 6.5 ROM, but for all I know that might help with the issue you were having.

Yeah, I mentioned that the problem stopped when I started using Shifu's ROM. I thought it might have been my Kaiser Tweak settings, but after hard-resetting (and not using Kaiser Tweak, it still occured). I'm guessing some driver got corrupted.

Major rom issues i ned help sorting out

I seem to be having some biig issues with my tilt and was hoping for someone to shed some light on the situation for me, I have a tilt, now running on hyperdragon IIIr , hard spl 3.56 and a emonster radio, ever seince I've unlocked it and flashed the a rom I've ran into oone of two issues 1. rom works fine with exception to heavyish lag on typing that forces me to type slow (E.G. duttys 19716 hybrid) and I do a lot of typin so the lags is a big issue 2. running currrrently beforemention hyperdragon IIIr and emonster radio, (although I've had the issue on other radios) and it runs fine at first, I tap the power button don't use it for 20 mins or so then when it turns back on it either steps in from dark to bright and will be VERY unnresponsive like having to tap the windows button 20x times before I get one tap I've been flashing like a madman tyig tofind a rom that generaly works... PLEASE HELP
Learn to use search. I, as well as many other people, have the lag issue. It's been mentioned before.
The other issue could be either your device, ROM, or radio. Change to an official radio. If you still have the same problem, try going back to the stock ROM. If the problem continues to exist, it could be your device.
If it turns out to be the radio, simply change radios.
If it's the ROM, address it in the ROM's thread, not in a new one in a different forum.
If it's your device, you had better learn how to get it back to it's OEM state, provided you have a warranty.
Also, spacing, punctuation, and spelling tend to be helpful when seeking help. I'm not saying it has to be perfect, but it's nice for it to be understandable without having to analyze it twice.
Now, run along and play.

It almost sounds like you installed an application that is causing your device to freeze up. Also, remember to hard reset after flashing. If you can please list the applications and sips you have installed and maybe someone can point out the culprit.
trust me spelling is never normally an issue but im typng from the device, unfortunatly I don't have a home computer at the moment. I've used search, I just haven't come across anything that matched my situation, the best working rom so far was duttys apr 29 hybrid. I've done some different radios and if anyone would be able to id love to read whatever setups you guys have on your devices thatwork and whatever issues you guys may be having btw my hard spl is 3.56 as well. I mean alll I wanted was 6.1 style messaging a good strong antenna (emonster is working well) if the roms fome with extras cool, if not its all good, I just need the device to work, thanks for all you help people
and btw the issue with the major slowdown is after flash (and hard reset) when I first tap the power button to put it on my belt for later no apps installed
This will be tedious, but try going back to AT&T Stock and see if you're still having an issue with the slowdown. Also, you might want to try looking for the Tilt Keyboard fix and trying that first. I still have lag with it, but it's worth a shot before you go back to stock.
If you still have issues with the stock ROM (try the stock SPL too if you can, there's instructions for going back to OEM you can click here to see those)
If you have the issue with everything set to stock, it's your device itself. If the problem goes away after reverting to stock, then try re-doing the whole SPL and flashing process for the ROM of your choice. At that point, you may wish to consider addressing your issue in that ROM's thread.
you are a genius, i ran it from the beginning and started it from scratch, i started with a light rom the new Hyperdraggon IIIr emonster rom and then hard spl'd at 3.29 (after i did the whole re stock and unlock process) im guessing i might not have done it right from the start and or the 3.56 spl might have been the problem also but its acting sufficiently well now i will keep you guys posted thanks for the support
I have 3.56 and have no problems. I almost always use a light rom and throw EVERYTHING onto my storage card. You also might trying running Pocket Mechanic

Touchscreen unresponsiveness - BRICK?

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?

Okay, so to those of us who have problems with screen ignoring/being very slow with screen taps - I think I've found a fix. Here's a little background:
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 only to latest 6.1 builds.

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.

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.

tilt keeps freezing

hey guys, not sure whats going on, but my tilt lately keeps freezing, but it only freezes when i go into landscape mode. i've ran the same programs for a long time (palringo, google maps, live search, kaiser tweak and srs wow) i'm not even running skyfire anymore, and i've uninstalled my opera browser but it keeps freeze. i've done some reflashes and hardware resets, and only ran the above programs, and it still ends up freezing when i put it into landscape. Anyone know what could be causing this? it doesn't matter if im typing landscape in notes, palringo, PIE or anything else, always freezes. The ironic thing is that if i bust out my stylus and type w/ that using the soft keyboard it seems to run just fine (but slows me down A LOT). any help would be much appreciated.
Do you mean your hardware keyboard lags?
If so in software is a speedup keyboard .cab.

sorry, i should have given a lot more info, but i had to jet to class. Anyways, its not the stock rom, i'm running NATF's Lite rom (no TF3D). I actually downloaded originally around september/nov/dec of 08 (dont remember, but its been months that i've been running it). And never had a problem with it...now all of a sudden it seriously craps out everytime i run it. I tried running Hyperdragons IV Lite and i was experiencing some of the same problems. I'm really starting to think its one of the problems i'm running, so i'm going to to a hard reset (again) and see if it runs just palringo, and google maps w/out any problems. its just getting super frustrating to be honest. i'm running the exact same programs that i've ran for the last year, but now its deciding to act up. hopefully its something in the software and not hardware
ok...so i got home, and installed the OEM att tilt rom. really, no matter what program i install, pretty much anything. the freezing occurs. any out there familiar w/ cell phone hardware? i'm thinking that might be the cause, if so...do you think there's anything that can be done/replaced to fix it?
Hi, this started happening to my just today also! At first I thought it was the onscreen keyboard that made my phone freeze (as I have seen others with the same issue) and thought I could fix it by using another keyboard app. I used SPB's keyboard and it prevents my phone from freezing and I'm able to type things using it. BUT my phone STILL freezes when I put it in landscape mode and try to type something. It freezes after typing a couple of letters. This is stock ROM; I've never flashed it.
Is there a .dll I can use to repair or anything of the sort?
Btw, I'm using a Tilt. Thanks!
anyone have any method ..to prevent this problem???
I find that if restart the phone few times will freeze at gray screen .."the original HTC gray blank screen with loading box in the middle" but the antenna reception green light is normal blinking (all the button not functioning).... -solution have to press reset button below ...
so now everytime install new program very scare to restart .. if un lucky ..will stuck at that screen.... really wonder why ...is it the WM6.1 not stable???
I use motorola linux ..no such problem...

Try the relevant ROM thread also look at your hardSPL version. Some users have fewer freezing probs just by updating hardSPL.

Not at all, there's definitely something wrong with your setup if it wont even boot fully. Maybe a hard reset and some testing between installing each individual program will weed out the culprit. That said I've found (at least the HTC official) WM 6.0 ROMs to be much more reliable and stable than WM 6.1 ROMs.

Not as such - hardSPL is made by dedicated folks who have customised the OEM version but installing it will mean you no longer have an 'official' setup. That said, you can always revert to the official HTC SPL if needed for eg a warranty return. You could also install a newer HTC SPL for your ROM (as long as it's compatible *be careful about this* - eg I'm using the 1.93 HTC SPL with my ROM instead of the 1.56 SPL). This is all explained in the Kaiser wiki (through the xda-wiki button above) so it's well worth having a good read there
aaaahh I looked around. and I can't find a driver to reinstall for the hardware keyboard... I'm assuming this would fix it~
Sorry to double post but I just wanted to say I fixed the problem by backing up and restoring with SKTools after doing a hard reset. It makes me think, what exactly caused the problem in the first place if doing this fixes it? Is there anything that SKTools leaves behind in an All System backup? Perhaps something messed with my registry causing the keyboard to freeze the phone when used.
I'd hate to think my phone can actually get spyware now. Maybe Skyfire's true desktop viewing of webpages allows for this to happen?
Let me know what you guys think
" used Spb's keyboard and it prevents my phone from freezing and I'm able to type things using it. BUT my phone STILL freezes when I put it in landscape mode and try to type something. It freezes after typing a couple of letters. This is stock ROM; I've never flashed it."
If I will you to avoid ...uninstall this soft keyboard ... use back the original keyboard at the time being and see... if u restore back what is the diff compare to now ... If I not wrong still the same ...
FYI, I got this freezing problem is after I have install PCM kb 0.14 ...then I try install & uninstall & install ..and need to restart the phone ..2 out of 4 time is freeze at loading screen .. now really worry is it b'cos I uninstall it at the same time have remove certain original files .....
WM is diff with windows ...lack of tool to chk which system files damage .... I really hate hard reset ..just like computer... imagine keep format the hard disk ....

If only restoring a full size PC was as easy and quick as hard restting. Sure there's a little work involved in reinstalling apps after completing the hard reset but if the apps are well designed ones that install via activesync, that's as easy as going to Activesyncs add and remove programs function and ticking a box. If this is not available then maybe the old app is the cause of the problem?
A hard reset every now and again is very useful for maintaining peak performance and it certainly weeds out whether a problem is hardware or software related pretty quickly.

WM6.5 Manila 2.5 Roms & Lockups

Hi Guys,
I suppose one good thing to come out of me constantly finding my HD dead after it being on standby for a few hours (it seems intermittent) is that it seems many others are having similar issues.
Can people post their findings to the following question so we can help the community at large narrow down the issue:
When your device hangs/freezes, is it in standby or in use?
If the unit is in Standby, are you using Manila 2.5 or an earlier version?
Which WM version are you using? (6.1 of 6.5)
Have you unticked the "Today timeout" on the Today Settings screen?
My experiences are as follows:
I have only seen this since I have been using a 6.5 ROM
I have only seen this since I have been using Manila 2.5 (i think)
I install only a small number of applications
I have used both MyPhone and PIM Backup to restore info
oh and finally, it's bloody annoying!!!
If anyone has any information as to what could be causing this please post. I'm sure we'd all give our left nut to get this fixed?
This does seem to be an issue that effects some and not others, I had it happen a few times but after flashing back to an official ROM then back to custom (including SPL) I have using custom ROMs for a while now without this occuring again.
Flashmore, thanks for your input. Can you state what steps you followed for others?
Glad to hear someone else is also having the same problem, and that it doesn't sould like a hardware issue.
I have recently been trying to figure out what is causing the lock-ups.
It doesn't happen with WM 6.1 roms.
Always happens is standby, with screen off I think. Nearly always when charging and power off then on using power buttin.
Seems to be happening to me wth WM 6.5 Manila 2.5 or earlier.
Nothing changed for the today timeout.
Using apps that come with rom, nothing extra.
Going back to WM 6.1 until a cure is found.

Seems to be happening to me wth WM 6.5 Manila 2.5 or earlier.
Nothing changed for the today timeout.
Using apps that come with rom, nothing extra.
Going back to WM 6.1 until a cure is found.

I'm attempting to systematically find out what the problem is by installing the same programs each flash with the exception of one. The first attempt was to move back to Manila 2.1 - so far so good but I'm expecting the same to happen at some point.
I want a good ROM, but I'm more bothered about not missing an emergency phone call because my phone is dead!
Hi all.
I'm not sure if this is actually related since when I experienced these so called "lock ups" my phone hard reset and corrupted the SD card as well. This happened two times with HD and once with Diamond2. Both phones with WM6.5.
I'm using corporate exchange and get enforced a device lock policy. I noticed that each time the device froze it was displaying the "classic" device lock number keyboard although the "default" (the new wm6.5) lock was selected.
Anyway, both phones have been working perfectly with WM6.5 and manilla 2.5 after I have started to use the ugly "classic" lock screen.

i think this is a conflict about the option ''turn off the backlight'' if you disabled it (on battery power and on external power) the problem disappear. i don´t know why it happes but this is my solution (since the revision 9...)

That's interesting. I might try that.
I have been on Manila 2.1 for a few days and so far so good though.
I'm on WM 6.5 w/ Manila 2.1 for a couple of days and it has happened to me too.
I just tried disabling the options for turning off backlight and turning off phone. Hopefully this "fixes" the problem.
Check this thread, same subject, more details !

X1 random freezing issue

Hi,
i'm new here, so i might seem a bit dumb and sorry for my bad english.
anyway, i tried using search, but i only found this SOD thing and that's not exactly what i have got. the thing is that my X1 freezes randomly. i.e. i put it charging for the night and when i wake up in the morning, my X1's screen is all lit up.
another example is when i just pull it out my pocket to check the time, it's either in SOD or same as the above: lit up and frozen.
when this occurs, the X1 is very warm and it doesn't respond to screen/button presses, the only thing that works is that small reset button in the back or pulling out the battery.
i don't really know, what is important and what's not, so if you ask, i can provide additional details. thanks for your help in advance.
it might help if you provide your current firmware (and version) and a list of apps you installed additionally and when it started (e.g. after installing xy|flashing rom xy|tweaking reg key xy|..., but as of now it just sounds weird
well, i'm currently on this Evilash Leo ROM and i haven't installed much programs, because i'm looking for a fast and stable ROM.
OS version: 5.2.21056 (21056.1.6.9)
Manila version: 2.5.20121412.2
ROM version: 1.05.911.15 WWE
ROM date: 09/10/09
Radio version: 1.14.25.55
Protocol version 52.65.25.34U
currently i have only installed Opera Mobile browser, version 10.00
the problem started when i started flashing my phone. my first ROM was from Valkyrie, but it had some issues with displaying stuff on screen (phone lock icon, scroll bars etc.).
then i switched to Energy ROM and on that ROM this problem occurred for the first time.
at first i thought that it was because i used XperiaTweak and Advanced Config, but when i reset all values to their defaults and even tried reflashing, the problem persisted.
i have never touched the registry.
my usual set of programs includes (newest versions available):
Opera Mobile browser
Skyfire browser
Resco Radio
OpnMarket
Microsoft Marketplace
Julien Manici WiFi Remote Access
my first suspicion would be it could be rom specific, but as it started with NRGZ's and I'm a regular visitor there I can't remember hearing of similar occurrences
what you might try is flash back to latest stock rom, then reflash the custom rom of your choice and see if that helps
I hear that helps for some specific problems after flashing custom roms, I can't guarantee it will help you, but it might be worth a try
apart from that I can't come up with something more intelligent, maybe I get another idea
cheers
can i flash to any stock ROM, or it needs to be the same language as it was on this phone initially? and how do i exactly flash to a stock ROM? just change the name to KOVSIMG and the extension to .nrg (currently it's .image) and do as with any custom ROM?
i also wanted to ask whether i need to do something specific before/after flashing a custom ROM that i might have forgotten or use some programs/format my memory card etc.?

I would try the generic one for your country, if there is one
rename it to KOVSIMG.nbh only if you flash sd method
backup your personal data
you might consider task29 from agent, but read the des and last pages of the thread carefully before you decide
well, i did as you suggested. didn't quite understand how to backup stuff with UC and Sashimi, but i found this app called SKTools, which got the job done.
after that, i have once encountered this strange thing, which is hard to describe. something like all my screen colors became different shades of white or something. i could still use the phone though, so i just did a soft reset.
the freezing problem occurred a couple times too, but i think that this time it was the ROM (correct me if i'm wrong). currently i'm using the Evilash Leo ROM and when i scrolled to the Twitter page, pressed the "All Tweets" button and scrolled to either my mentions, direct messages or favorites it showed nothing and a couple secons later it froze the way i mentioned in the first post of the topic.
other than that, no random freezing yet (i flashed this ROM at about 2 PM, and right now it's 11 PM here). Thanks for the help!

you are welcome, though nothing much done on my part
you think the rom might cause probs so I can only advice on checking the respective rom thread for similar reports, if you find them it might confirm your suspicion and even lead to a solution, if you find nothing post your experience there and check for feedback, maybe it got encountered but not reported yet and if it turns out that you are the only one using that rom suffering this problems it probably isn't rom related and you are still looking for a conclusion, but at least you can discard one possibility
gl anyway and have fun
cheers
