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.

I know the feeling
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.
So I recently got back from a trip to Maryland (I live in Michigan) and now I am experiencing frustrating behavior from my Tilt. In places where I use to have acceptable signal (typically 2 bars, sometimes one if I angle just wrong behind a wall) I now get "no signal", however, when I reset the phone or when I turned the radio off and then back on again it would connect to the network just fine. I tried to use the "Airplane Mode" in the communications manager to simulate switching the phone off, and almost every time I do this it immediately says that my SIM card is missing. I have to take out the card, wait a few minutes, and then reinsert it for the phone to work normally again. I don't believe this to be an issue with a loose card, as it only happens as soon as I attempt to use Airplane Mode. Jostling the phone, opening and closing it, nothing else seems to trigger this. Can someone explain to me what's wrong, and how I can fix it?
Have you ever flashed a rom on the phone or anything?
No, I use the stock 6.1 AT&T rom. I do use Manilla 2D, but I've been using that for awhile.
Sync up the contacts or use PIM backup, save all of your files and do a hard reset.
that's what I was afraid of, oh well, It'll give me an excuse to clean out my phone of apps I don't use.
thanks, I'll update if that works.
Yeah it's pretty painless to redo your phone. Good luck

What happened. I have this SIM CARD MISSING problem as well
I seem to have done some real damage to my phone and I could definitely use the help of fellow XDA'ers. I took my memory card out to put some files on my PC. Phone was off so no problems. I reinsert the SD card and reboot. Now although I'm absolutely sure the card was fully inserted, once the phone fully booted I had the "SD Card removed" icon in the corner and everything started to force close. So I quickly shut the phone off, made sure the card was fully in, and rebooted again. it loaded up again, and while the no SD Card removed error was gone, I was still getting FC's left and right and apparently have no gps, no wifi, and no 3g. So I once again rebooted into recovery, ran the fix permissions and rebooted. Again, booted up and FC's everywhere. So now about 90% of my apps FC on launch (either actual launch of the phone or by pressing the icon), I can't activate WiFi or GPS, and I have no data/3g. What happened and how can I fix this? Thank you so much in advance for your help.
Edit: After a little more fiddling, I find that I can't change any settings. I can't set screen timeout, notification levels, so on and so forth. What happened?

Windoze no doubt. Windoze is HOSTILE to non-MS filesystems and WILL attempt to destroy them.
Other possibility is that you simply didn't click the card in all the way.
Anyways, what has happened is that your phone booted up and was missing a ton of applications that it was expecting. It therefore irreparably destroyed your package configuration.
You MIGHT be able to salvage it if you have a recent backup of the file /data/system/packages.xml.
Try restoring that file, syncing the filesystem, and rebooting via 3-finger-salute INTO RECOVERY ***IMMEDIATELY*** after syncing. Then do a fix permissions and reboot normally.
... and cross your fingers.

I did that, but it was a no go. Everything still FC'd, couldn't change any setings, and it says my phone doesn't have internet permission, so anything requiring data access doesn't work.

I'm guessing I didn't click it all the way in because I have done this 100's of times before and it never happened. Unfortunately, I don't have a recent back up of that file so it's sounding like i am screwed. Would i be able to just wipe the phone, the ext, the cache and start over from scratch?
It seems I may be out of the woods. It's going to be a tedious solution, but at least I won't have to wipe anything or unroot or so on. Basically I have to uninstall and then reinstall everything to end the FC's and restore settings and data. It was actually the Maps update that helped me figure this out. I got the notification that there was an update so i followed it and upgraded. The fact that it notified me and then allowed me to download the new version told me the net was working. I also had another app that needed to be updated that was also fc'ing. So i upgraded that app and viola, no more fc and the 3g was working. So i uninstalled other apps that were giving me trouble with settings and data like Quick Settings and Tweetcaster, reinstalled and now I'm good money. I've got 144 apps installed so it's gonna take a few hours, but it's worth it to have my phone back. Thanks again for the advice.
This is a great version of Android 4 topaz
It contains a new linux image, a new vresion of FRX (03 modified)
Major changes
* Disable slow background blurring for some dialogs
* Internal improvements to auto-backlight implementation
* Disable JIT by default for various stability improvements
* Updated gapps package (20101114)
* Much more easy to import contacts from SIM (no google accounts and other stupid things.
* Bugs fixed:
o 19 – Boot loop on first boot (fresh data.img)
o 36 – Repeated Volume button press crashes the system
o Possibly 12 – Terminal emulator special keys/digits do not respond
And a lot of more.
thanks to txtter I connected phone to pc and I installed a lot of stuff
LINK
Lets talk less and start a small tutorial
1. Insert your MicroSD card into a card-reader and format it as Fat32
2. Unzip the content of Topaz.rar
3. Copy the unziped files to storage card
It should look like this
/Storage Card/
/AndroidApps/
/conf/
/media/
/STARTUP CONFIG/
/STARTUP.TXT
/haret.exe
/initrd.gz
/rootfs.img
/system.ex2
/zImage
4. Safely remove hardware and eject media (it is recomanded for your MicroSD) can be founded near the clock on the startbar.
5. Insert the card into device
6. Use your explorer to go on storage card and start haret.exe
WELL DONE !!!

i installed this with frx02 it works perfect on my topa100 only the menu by network you can normally pull down it that doesn't work but for the rest no problems thank you
U are welcome... i recomand u to try it with the frx03 version
I will try to upload and some applications for android
Is there any chance to get the frx03 modified by someone?
I mean, removing all the unnecessary apps, all these stuff like market,
google maps, carhome, gmail, youtube, googlabackup and sync,
feedback and partner setup, I would like to have just clean one.
You can install this stuff if you need it.
The more of this junk is there the bigger the chance for crashes and
longer loading time. I am willing to donate something for such work.
I have installed all the latest packages, sometimes when you run haret,
my TD2 restarts and loads OK on second run, sometimes it freezes when
I answer the phone, sometimes I can't make phone calls, receive any
and sometimes I don't have service at all.
frx03
i have tried iit with frx03 it becomes slower after i restart android
hello body ... i wana know how is battry usage in this one ... and what do you mean '' Stable '' ... thanks ...
About battery.... i had install some apps for android, test them, listen some music and setting up the device in my opinion the battery is ok no problems.
Stable i mean no more freezes when somebody is calling, no more freezes when phone is sleeping . Only camera is still no working
Sorry for my english
I have tested it again, today. Reformated the SD card, fat32, installed OK,
runs a bit sluggish, when goes on standby doesn't receive any calls, whoever is trying to ring, tells me that there is no message just rings 4ever, phone doesnt ring and doesnt wake up.
You have to restart the phone and rerun haret to get the phone fully functional again,
but only till next standby or sleep.

I follow the installation instruction but the phone pops up a message saying
"HaRET: Booting Linux ..."
then not responding anymore.

hi iasi_me, i had same problem. i solved it using another android-rar-archiv. first i copied this to my storage card and replaced only system.ext2 and module-file. now its working fine. i have not checked whether there is a difference in one config file. i think there is one.

Ok I found the problem. For some reason the "andboot" folder got renamed to "ANDBOOT" after I copy it to my SD card. I renamed the folder back to "andboot" by using the file explorer in my phone and now it boots up fine
Thanks.

I'm trying to play Asphalt 6 but I have to download a 250mb package to play it. Unfortunately the download always stalls out about 25% of the way through and says a problem occurred. Anybody have a solution to this?
edit: Retried the download, it went 100%, and then still said that a problem occurred and wants me to restart the download. Such a hassle for a racing game...
normal for most of gameloft games.
I believe you must keep the screen on while downloading the data.
For me, fails if screen turns off or if I bring up another app
I left it completely alone with the screen on the whole time when it hit 100% and like I said, it still didn't complete successfully. Maybe there is a way to download it on the PC and then transfer it over?
If you have tried multiple attempts than go into your SD card and delete the stuff it downloaded and retry, you might have corrupted the data from your first attempt when you only got 25%. Also yes with all Gameloft games there is the inherent problem that You Have to keep your screen on or else it disconnects for some screwy reason.
