ok. i had my phone for a week, had put a few of the programs that give it an iphone look, like s2u2, freestyl, ifonz 2 and finally ifonz v0.8.8. i didnt like freestyle simply because you had to run it by opening flash light, ifonz 2 wasnt very good eather, but .8.8 i really liked, and for a lock, i didnt really like s2u2. but it was what i could find, i also find slide 1.0 but couldnt download it. i got .8.8 running and was quite happy, but the next morning my phone started acting really weird, the alarm didnt go off, so i woke up late, it didnt show i had an incoming call and it didnt ring eather, it said i had to service. i then erased all the ifonz files and the s2u2 (my phone wouldnt open the remove programs) and it still didnt fix it. i did the *228 and tried both 1 and 2. (i have verizon) and it then started letting me make a call but it still said i had no service up until it started calling. i took it to verizon, dubbed it a factory defect, and they gave me a new one, i really like .8.8 but im now afraid to put it on the new one, did i do something wrong? was my phone really defected? or is it ifonz v0.8.8 and/or s2u2?
try to make a hard reset , that should resolve your problem, make backup first on everything you want to keep and proceed to hard reset

Greetings,
I recently updated the stock AT&T ROM, and am a user of KaiserTweak.
Following my update to the new stock Tilt ROM, I no longer get autocomplete either when typing out a message OR (and this is the annoying part) when I want to send an email. Previously, I could enter the first letter and all of the entried beginning with that letter would come up.
Can any kind soul please let me know how I might be able to restore this? My current KaiserTweak autosuggest is set at 6. Of course, I am getting 0.
Thanks!
I recently had this problem with mine using Kaiser Tweak... Turn off XT9 in Kaiser Tweak if you have it enabled and then soft reset and it should work fine. This is what i did and my auto complete came back on no problems. If that doesnt work then I have no idea what it could be. Im still a noob.
SOLVED
That was it. XT9 is a 'advised' setting too ... YIKES.
well i didnt update the new att rom, nor do i use kaiser tweak. i just have stock everything & mysteriously my auto complete stopped working. well its not that it doesnt work, but there is a 15 second lag or something on it. and when it does work it pisses me off bcuz i'll click on the item i wanted to auto complete & it doesnt go away (bcuz the lag) so i'll click it & start typing the next word & it keeps adding the auto complete entry!
i've tried soft reseting, tried, cutting the phone off, and i've noticed i've just got a huge lag on the whole phone w/in the last hour or hour & a half. i cut the phone off & removed my sim & then started it back up & there is no lag whatsoever. could it be something that ATT is doing on their networks or something? pissing me off bad tho...bcuz i've been finding little POS problems day after day w/ this phone and when you spend that damn much money on one, you figure that you wont have to worry about all these little problems...and they add up to amount to one pissed off customer. hell if att had something else w/ wm6 & office & wifi, i'd be using it now instead of feeling like im getting shafted by purchasing this POS.
I understand that your phone is behaving in a way that you do not like. It is either:
1. a bad phone - take it back
2. it is behaving correctly and you do not understand it - in that case indicate here AFTER SEARCHING what your problems are and I am pretty sure that you can get them solved.
3. you have hosed something up - again AFTER SEARCHING ask and you shall receive.
As a newbie myself I have found this a wonderful wealth of knowledge. HOWEVER - if you do not TRY and helpyourself - put on your asbestos suit.
Now - it is entirely possible that you have purchaseda high maintenance phone that has lots of power that you do not need and should not have because it will take more than you want to invest in it.
Your decision.
(BUT - I would quit griping here because you will get VERY LITTLE sympathy.)

yeah i wasnt really looking for sympathy...but thanks for the tip, i'll digress prior to the rant next time. its just getting more & more frustrating. the purpose of my post was to in fact garner some sort of assistance in regards to the auto complete not working on the phone.
the other issues i've had w/ the phone are issues that are seemingly unable to be fixed. ie. the camera lag issues, the utilization of the phone as a 56k modem, or other things like that. i wouldnt say the phone is too much work for me as i dont mind putting forth the effort but it just makes me wonder how a phone can be sold so haphazardly without many of these issues resolved prior to it being released. /end rant
edit: i just wanted to shed more light in regards to the situation that i've found out. this is the only way i can replicate the issue.
i turn the phone on. go into messaging, its defaulted back to keyboard input, i change it to block recognizer. begin to input letters. no auto complete. after about 3 words, auto complete pops up. i click one of the options. it doesnt go away. i wait for the auto complete applet to leave. it does, i begin to type & at this point the lag has commenced. auto complete will not show up again unless i stop adding letters to the sms. when i do so, about 8-10 seconds later the auto complete pops up. i finishe the sms & send or cancel it. now everything is laggy. i cant access apps, if i lock the phone i cant unlock it. everything is frozen w/ an absurd delay, as in i've waited over 5 minutes & the unlock will not remove itself. the only thing that i can do is turn the screen off by clicking the power button. when i resume i get the top today bar and the bottom unlock bar, everything in the middle is blanked out. the only way i have been able to continue passed this point is to pop the sim door forcing it to cut the phone off, then replace the sim door lock. if i dont use the auto complete function on the phone i dont have any issues whatsoever. hopefully the added info helps. thanks.
After reading this I checked and autocomplete was not working! I recently updated Kaiser tweak and remember putting 6 words in. When I checked, it was set to 0 words. I changed it back to 6 words and is working fine again. Not sure how it got set to 0.
stock rom and everything, just no bloatware.
this morning it worked perfect, about 2 hours later is all retarted.
1)the backlight is dim and doesnt get as bright as its supposed to unless i plug it in
2)when i slide the phone open the screen doesnt flip the other way
3)getting multiple "cannot execute" errors of clocknot.exe, repllog.exe, calnot.exe. these pop up and i have to click OK 20+ times and less than a minute later they came back on again. actually now i cant even get them to go away.
4)i left my phone alone for a while after realizing something was wrong with it and when i came back to it was just constantly vibrating, i dont know for how long but it killed 60% of my battery.
software i installed is just your basic stuff, tomtom, touchflo cube, htc touch dialer and touch today setup, htc home customizer and battery status and i think thats pretty much it.
anybody have any idea on what might have happened? like i said, the phone worked perfect this morning. i put it down, went a swim, came back and it wasnt working right so i did a soft reset and it didnt fix anything. i put it back down, took a nap, came back and it was vibrating and then i did another soft reset and thats when i got all the error messages. so i did another soft reset and still doesnt want to work.
wait, now for some reason it seems to be OK after another soft reset. I DONT GET IT.
so now i received and sent a text message and then closed the phone, it locked and turned the screen off. i then put it on the charged and the screen wouldnt turn back on now matter what button i pushed. but the lights on top blinked and when i opened it the keyboard lit up. so once again....another soft reset
you probably should hard reset your phone. but be aware that it will erase evrything on ur phone and return it back the way it was, so backup ur info
Yes, I second that. Make sure to back up your data before hard-resetting, though, as you will lose it all (contacts, files, everything).
To hard reset the phone, press and hold the two soft keys (buttons on the front that have a dash on them; next to the send and end buttons) while pushing the stylus into the reset hole in the bottom. If you do it correctly, a white screen will come up asking you if you want to do this, and just follow the steps until it is finished.
Please post back and tell us the result.

Use the latest version of "SPB backup" to backup all data before you hard reset and you restore the all applications after a hard reset or even a ROM Upgrade.
P.S: I don't work for SPB... I just like the software

Don't just back everything up as you may just re-introduce the problem on restore!
Back up your contacts and volotile data only (sync it with Outlook if you use it).
Hard reset and then install 1 app/util at a time and test the device each time to check stability.
Hang on a second...
Before you hard-reset...
Open your favorite file explorer application (I use GSFinder, but the default WM6 File Explorer should be fine), and browse to the Storage Card folder. If there's more than one, keep reading.
I store lots of applications on the microSD card itself, and I often take the card out of the Tilt, and put it into a card reader for faster file transfer. Sometimes, this results in the Tilt thinking I have multiple microSD cards when I put it back in. I haven't quite nailed down what causes this (I haven't searched, either, the answer might be on XDA-dev somewhere).
The end result is, the Tilt is looking for stuff that isn't in the /Storage Card folder. Instead, the phone recognizes the card as /Storage Card2 or /Storage Card3.
I have run into the EXACT same problem you've got, with the same errors. Every time, I've been able to correct it by removing the physical card, and then deleting all the /Storage Card (1,2,3) folders that are still on the phone.
After you do that, just insert the card again, and it will be recognized as simply /Storage Card without any numbers after it. Now the applications will work properly, as WM6 will be looking at the right folders.
ok sorry, havent been back on. phone was working great until last night and then it started acting up again. after multiple soft resets it started working fine again this morning.
there is only one storage card listed so thats not my problem but thank you for the idea.
looks like ill just take any stuff of the phone i want when i get home and do a hard reset. do they replace these phones for software issues with a stock ROM?
happened again, should i try to see if they will replace the phone?
anyone know if i need to call to do that or do i need to go to a certified at&t place?
If you are using the Stock ROM and have performed a hard reset and it still has problems then return it under warranty.

There are no more certified ATT places around here, everything is by phone and mail. If it is still under warranty thats what I would do if you are unsure of it's long term condition.
i am still stock ROM. it locked up on me again yesterday and i did a hard reset. hopefully it wont happen again. i dont feel like customizing my phone from scratch yet again
my diamond is playing up, there are no sound at all from earpiece, ringer or loud speaker after every 30mins to 1hour,
once you restart the phone and its works again, then gone within 1hour, have to keep restart the phone
here what i have done:
i run this RUU_Diamond_HTC_WWE-ME_1.93.456.2_Radio_Signed_Diamond_52.29.25.12_1.0 0.25.05_Ship
Still not fix
then this
SwiftBL-WWE-Diamond-ROM-v5.6
still not fix,
i dismantle the phone have a look is anything simple loose connection and such, but there is no sign of that or no sign of any water damage.
please if you have any idea to share here will be much appreciated
thanks
Same problem here...
looks like still fresh this Diamond phone, no one have idea yet to rectify this issue
still waiting.............
if it is fine to begin with, and then it goes after a little while, i would say it is not a hardware problem, but a software one.
especially as you have tried it on more than one ROM, it suggests that you may have installed something else on to the device which may be influencing it.
Hard reset and sycn your contacts etc back to the device, but do not install anything else, or do any tweaks at all.
let it run out of the box without any changes for a 24 hour period.
does it still happen?
if yes, send it back.
if no, start putting everything back on one by one until the problem re-occurs, trying the device for a couple of hours after each install. when it fails again, you have your suspect which is the last thing you installed or did before it failed again.
course, it could be a dodgy device, but make sure before you go through the hassle of sending it back, cos it could just be some software that doesn't like wm6.1.
So, I really needed/wanted a program, like the locking slider for the iphone, for my phone. And eventually, I stumbled across S2U2, I didn't read about any big issues with it, and everyone loved it. So I installed it right away last night on my phone. My phone worked Lag FreeandFlawlesslybefore installing the app. After the installation of the latest VGA version of the app, it worked great and did everything I needed it to do, with hardly any noticeable lag on the phone or anything since installing it. Today, it still worked great, however, I accidentally did a soft reset on my phone, and when it booted back up .... I was getting MAJOR LAG. I tried to close every program and shut down S2U2, but that did absolutely nothing. The memory status in task manager said it was only at about 30-32%, as it normally is with no programs running in the background, but this time, the phone is lagging horrendously. It's so bad, I can't even access my texts messages readily, sometimes they take forever to load when opening one. I knew S2U2 had to be the problem, so I uninstalled it using the add/remove program option in the windows settings folder. After that, I did another soft reset. Great, the program is now gone, however, the same horrible lag is still there. Did the program edit a reg key or something? I'm almost certain the program is the root of this evil. Can someone please help me out? If no one can, I'll try to e-mail the developer, but he'll probably be browsing around on here anyway. Also, I'm sorry if this is not the right place for such a post, my apologies.
P.S- I'm running the latest Verizon Stock ROM, which was released fairly recently, and therefore, this phone is on the Verizon Network.
Thanks,
Chris
I just got mine, even flashed the ROM for mine (T Mobile) and this phone freezes almost literally every 5 minutes and programs freeze a lot and won't allow me to open any other programs and I'm just curious if this is common with other people? I cannot use this phone at all for daily use unless I ONLY use it for texting and not open or use any other programs .
why did you flash it? :S
Mine actually works really nicely, and after changing my polling to 30 minutes instead of as items arrive, i get a completely full day of hard use out of mine...why did you flash it?
Moved to General
Well if you flashed anything theres your answer
You can flash HD 7 ??? never knew it lol what did you flash it with...
I do get a bit of lag now and then if i open too many programs, but not that bad
must say MS has done a good job of winmo 7 hope the updates come soon though
What ROM? How did you flash? Where did you buy the device.
This is the FIRST device I am using with MS OS on it, that actually did not freeze on me at all. The WP7 on my HD7 is fluid, fast and stable. Not a single freeze or hangup. Of course if you are talking about loading of apps like Twitter and Facebook, well, they take time to update and thats an App issue. Not th OS issue.
I think there is something seriously wrong with your device or what you have done with it. Better call up the customer care and get a replacement.
Not even one freeze in 8 days
I flashed the official TMOUS ROM that's been posted in these forums, and nah I mean it way freezes like every 5 minutes... guess I'm the only one with the problem then ? Even factory resetting it still freezes then reboots like every 5-10 minutes... man this sucks, and the phone is so fluid though...
I do mean it freezes/reboots A LOT!
Is there any way I can get a replacement even though I bought it off a friend? (practically straight up brand new) Like lie or something to T-Mobile and say I got it off some smaller T-Mobile dealer? The phone is scratchless and scuff free.
Or any suggestions?
Is it possible that it's a hardware issue? I don't think it could be though...?

T-Mobile has a 14 day return policy, and if your friend purchased it on contract (new line, or as a upgrade), then only he can return it as he will be asked for proper ID in order to identify himself as an authorized person the account.
If he bought it outright (full price) and gave you the receipt, you should be able to go back to the same store and return it and get a new.
Either way, I'd say return it and get a new one. And however you flashed it, don't. Its perfect out of the box. Not once has the phone froze on me.
Blah guess I just got bad luck , it seems to freeze 90% of the time whenever I start up the HTC Hub and am in it or go to the main screen. But thanks everyone for your input .
you still haven't answered what rom you flashed.
Also, maybe your friend knew it was defective and hosed you.

he did actually answered on post #9
anyway, does anyone experienced a lockup when using the alarm when the alarm sets off but left alone for a long time? cause i tried using this phone as an alarm but could never wake me up even on full blast volume. so it is left there for hours .. then when i do eventually wake up .. i see the snooze and dismiss buttons up front and when i tried pressing any of the buttons ..the phone doesn't respond.. so i restart the phone and its back to normal.
Ah yeah guess I did get scammed blah. Oh well, **** happens... the one time I did use the alarm it worked for me and woke me up.
But I seriously wonder why it's all super messed up?
Could it be a hardware problem?
Hmm and right when it freezes it automatically enters airplane mode... then stays frozen until I take out the battery.
EDIT: Actually it seems like the HTC Hub makes it freeze 90% of the time and makes other apps not pop up or nothing. Bah! Would like an update (when HTC/Microsoft releases one) fix this problem?
Please, can you tell us, HOW excatly you've flashed a new ROM , because I thought it was actually impossible before someone find a kind of HSPL or something like that for WP7 ????

I flashed mine because of reboot issues too. Mine would reboot and not only that it would hard reset ! After the flash the phone works like a charm. No freezing, no reboots, no hard resets.
Be sure to choose the right one. I don't believe these are upgrades in anyway, just a fresh ROM to install to start from the beginning.
mine hung at the white splash screen / boot screen, so i hard reset (dialled into my memory from HD1 days!) and it was fine. Took the SIM card out later to put into HD1 to write down things to manually move across (cheers MS for no easy option to migrate*), put it back in, frozen again.
Hard reset: still frozen. Doesn't seem like anything i can do - phone seems bricked. Will have to take back - can't find anything on forums. LAME!!!
*option to migrate / set your own ringtones / use swype / send texts, etc, will be available from 2011
OP, have you called htc and reported the problem. It might take them a couple weeks, but they will warranty it for you since you can't take it to t-mobile.
It has to be hardware if it did it before and after flashing.
call htc @ 888-356-2375 (for USA HTC)
If you have an SDCARD in the phone it could be the problem, remove it.
