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
Its not letting me receive any calls. Because by the time I press "Accept" it becomes unresponsive for like a couple of mins and the call has already ended.
Its taking forever to load any apps too. It takes forever to open the Programs folder or the Settings folder. Everything takes like a min on the phone now.
I don't know what has caused this. It was working fine yesterday. I haven't installed any new apps either.
I have the HTC stock ROM downloaded from this website. I've had it installed for a few months now without a problem.
Can someone please help me in understanding whats causing this?
I've restarted the phone a few times now. The boot time is around 15 mins for some reason. It stays at the Window Mobile 6 screen for 15 mins before starting up.
Hard reset anyone?
Is that the only solution?
I'm sick of this and slowing turning anti-windows.
Some times things need to be refreshed. Don't be scared, it will be ok.

Somebody please explain to us that this slowness/unresponsiveness is unique for the TYTN II?! Should I expect the same from a HTC Touch or a Samsung?

Have you, by chance, been experimenting with network folders? I saw something similar with the file explorer, after I had connected to a network drive at home. It was trying to reconnect while I was away from the home network.
You should expect it from any electronic device like this. Maybe not 100% of the time and not 100% of them, but things like this do happen. There are too many things trying to live in harmony and not step on each others feet for there to never be a problem.
Do a hard reset and see what happens. If it doesn't solve your problem then it's time to look into a warranty claim. If you can use the phone, just backup your numbers and then reset. It's really easy and doesn't take much time to get things back to normal.

I didn't touch any of the system folders. In fact, nothing was done to the phone since yesterday except send/receive phone calls and play Solitaire.
If you don't reset it then don't complain.

I've done this (hard reset) before and I have every right to complain. Not trying to be a troll, but sometimes I feel I should've bought an iP***e instead.
Right now I'm trying to take a backup of my files on the Storage card, but Total Commander is unresponsive (trying to copy 5 files for the past 30 mins).
I know I'll eventually hard reset this thing, but I'm just pissed right now.
So you don't think people have to hard reset their iphones? I laugh in your general direction.
If you can't make or receive calls, send or receive text messages, or access email or the web
Check the cell signal indicator in the status bar at the top of the screen. If there are no bars, or if it says "No service," try moving to a different location. If you're indoors, try going outdoors or moving closer to a window.
Check to make sure you’re in an area with network coverage. Go to your carrier's website to see network coverage areas.
Make sure airplane mode isn't on. From the Home screen choose Settings, then turn Airplane Mode off.
If that doesn't work, turn airplane mode on, wait 15 seconds, then turn airplane mode off again.
Make sure to include an area code for every phone number in your contacts list that you use to send or receive text messages.
If that doesn't work, turn iPhone off and turn it on again. Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button on top of iPhone for a few seconds until a red slider appears, then slide the slider. Then press and hold the Sleep/Wake button until the Apple logo appears.
Note: If you enter the SIM PIN incorrectly three times, you may need to contact your carrier for a Personal Unlocking Key (PUK) to enable your SIM card again.
If that doesn't work, there may be an issue with your wireless service. Call your carrier or go to your carrier's website.
If that doesn't work, restore the iPhone software. See this document or see "Updating and Restoring iPhone Software" in the iPhone User's Guide.

Come on now. You know what I meant. I wasn't trying to imply that at all. I was just venting. Sorry if it offended anyone.
is it possible that its just having trouble reading the sd card (if you have one?) maybe the file system is becoming corrupt on the card and its constantly trying to read it?..

I thought about this. I tried using the phone without the SD card. But the behavious was the same. Currently I'm hard resetting it
So how did it go?
Just finished hard resetting it. The phone works now. Fortunately I had an export of my contacts in an XML file (using a .NET utility that I wrote.) Unfortunately, I haven't written the import part of the utility yet
The phone works, but my docs and pics are gone. The SD card works fine. Thanks for your help guys.
Outlook works nice for backing up contacts and there is also a program you run from your phone that does the same thing. I think it's PIM backup
use cleartemp from now on to clear unneeded items on every start up
it is pim back up
its the BEST

More junk to cause this sort of problem.
i just got my htc tilt yesterday. everything was fine, i even got a hang of it. i started downloading apps by simiply putting it in a applications folder and installin it when i click it from my device. however, once i installed a customizer for the home screen, my phone kept restarting itself without barely making it to the home screen everytime. i tried many things then had to hard reset the device. once i did so, everything went into orginal settings except for the fact that the folder is no longer there where i drag applications by sync. i dont know what to do.
can someone help me?? how will i be able to send plugs ins to my device...no matter what folder i put it under, it doesnt show up on device!!
i really have no idea what you are talking about. you need more details all you said was you installed something and your device screwed up and you don't have to copy a cab to your applications folder it can be run from anywhere
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
Hi all,
I bought my hd7 on thursday and have been using it fairly heavily since.
I have noticed however that it will on occasion reboot itself, at seemingly random occurences. It has done this maybe 3 or 4 times.
On two occasions I've also found that the volume would (without my input), set itself to full volume or no volume. This wouldn't be instantaneous, but more like the volume button being held down one way or the other. On both occasions this resolved itself after around 10 - 15 seconds.
Should I chalk this up to the software (which can hopefully be resolved in due course) or do you think its faulty hardware?
Other than this, I am loving the phone.
Cheers.
Hmmm, im haviing the same problems, i dont get it, also when i open a tile i.e, Marketplace it will load and then just go back to the start screeen :\, anyone know how to fix this bug ?
So I'm not the only one. That would suggest that its not just a one-off faulty handset. At a guess I'd say the software was just a little rough around the edges.
If it is the software, hopefully Microsoft will be able to fix these things and improve overall stability with future updates. This is the trade off for getting things at release I suppose.
Aside from these minor issues (they've only happened maybe once a day with heavy use) the OS is silky smooth. If they are the only problems, I can live with them until the next update.
Mine phone randomly re-booted the other night, I hope that it's just software related.
I got mine on thursday too, mine's reset itself once or twice. Today I had a weird bug though. The battery was quite low, about 10%, and I called my friend and I could hear her, but she couldn't hear me. She called back - same thing. I tried calling someone else and still the same. I turned the phone off and back on again and everything was back to normal. I thought it was all very strange. Can anyone confirm whether that was a hardware or software fault? Or is it nothing to worry about? (I did check the in-call volume/mute settings!)
cheers
Yep me too, has rebooted a few times when trying to do multiple things at once eg when receiving a text and updating hotmail. 6 or 7 times since thursday, with a couple occasions where I took it out my pocket and it was on the sim pin request screen meaning it had rebooted for now reason and I didn't know :-(
Anyone loaded the generic RUU yet?

I also have this problem! I'd be using either zune(selecting a song) or marketing place(browsing apps) and it will crash and go to the home screen. When i try and re-launch the apps, they saying "loading" and just returns to the home screen.
I hope this is a software bug rather than a fault with my HD7

If this is true, it must be HTC fault and not M$.

But if no other WP7 owner is reporting this except HD7, he might have a point.
(I am a omnia 7 owner and there are no random reboot)
Yeah.bought hd7 last week.having the same problem
I am an Omnia 7 owner, and there's been no random reboot.
But, I am getting the thing where if the marketplace gets stuck loading something, I exit and then can't get back in.
On touch of the tile it just says loading and returns to home, needs reboot.

+1, thank goodness im not alone with this issue. My HD7 doesn't randomly reboot either, its just a problem with marketplace and zune crashing and then not run again until i manually reboot the device.
Seems to be a common issue. I've raised this in the microsoft windows phone 7 forum, i'll update what they come back with.
having the same reboot issues and also apps closing themselves on my german o2 hd7 ..
has anyone tried
RUU_Schubert_hTC_Asia_WWE_1.23.707.01_Radio_5.51.09.06a_22.30.50.09_Signed_SCHUBERT_RELEASE ?? is this any better? (and does it have german keyboard?)
There's a possibility the cpu could be overheating. I know my N1 used to randomly reboot due to this when I'd run Wifi Tether for an extended period of time.

i do not think this is the case, the phone reboots overnight in idle mode.
Just to add, have had the phone for 1 week
Cant say mine has ever auto rebooted but the volume has gone mute (and have to restart to fix) twice now
Once also screen froze on alarm display and again had to be retarted
also have had same problem as others here with market place and jumping back to main screen
glad its not my phone, hope updates come soon, having a phone with unreliable volume aint so hot!

Let me lay it down for you:
Microsoft decided to enter the mobile market with a new OS.
Microsoft laid down the minimum requirements for their OS that the hardware manufacturers must meet.
Microsoft designed all aspects of the OS, including the drivers for the hardware.
So now you're telling me that HTC decided to go grab the OS, and install on their device packed with electronics around the globe without MS knowing and approving it?
One thing when you load your own environment like Sense or TouchWiz on the phone and you are responsible for it functioning, and providing user access to the OS, and another when you cannot do any of it, because the whole OS is closed, and you are told you must use this .dll with these options, and no you cannot know why and how how it does it.
