When I put the phone into a dock, or remove it from it, whatever app I'm running tends to either stop, or more commonly lose focus. Is there a way I can stop this from happening? I watch a lot of podcasts and other videos, and sometimes I take the phone out of the dock to go to the kitchen or whenever, and it annoys me when I have to spend 10 seconds trying to find my place again!

Is there another app/message that pops-up when you un-dock the phone?
If so, try to get rid of those, then there shouldn't be a problem.
No, it just sort of forgets about everything.

That's weird, I just did a test with WhatsApp and the only message I got was the flaps warning. After I pressed ok I was still in WhatsApp.
With video?
Picking this up again. REALLY annoying. Podcasts not only stop, but some times the app (PocketCasts) gets confused and thinks the podcast has finished, deletes it and starts another.

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

So as you can see I have managed to get custom tones on my phone and everything, BUT when they are set and I get a message and open it the tone doesn't stop playing and does the whole audio file. Is there any way to make it stop playing right when the message is read. Actually I even tried pressing all my buttons and it still plays... Is that normal, like I get a message and the song plays, then no matter what button I hit it continues.... Any ideas, suggestions, help? .... PS I have the HTC Tilt..
Thanks In Advance..
- YOURenemy.
Any Suggestions?
Thats how it works. I dont know of a work around either. I dont think it is possible as of yet.
I have the same problem and it pisses me off. A phone that can do so much but doesnt have such a simply capability that my first flip phone had? Who wants to hear 30 seconds of music every time you get a text, especially during a convo....
Well, who puts a 30sec sound for texts in the first place?

If the file is a song it needs to be stored in the sounds file on your device, in application data\sounds! Then it will stop when you answer or check message!
I did what you said and yet te file keeps playing after the message is opened and read. Let alone I can't do anything to make it stop playing other then put the phone on silent for the length of the song. Even then the song plays. This doesn't make sense. Any other ideas or suggestions?

Simple solution edit the song so as it's short enough for a messege notification, the best free audio editor is Audacity
Umm..
Well to be honest who want a short boring message tone. Its nice to have the option of letting it play or just opening the message to shut it off am I right? Come one some one must know how and have an answer to this small blurp in the phone..

Geez you want to have your cake and eat it too! Either have a 30 second long SMS Notification sound EVERYTIME or don't. When the phone gets a Message its sends a command, "Play Tone" And that is all. Very Simple, no way to stop it.
Woah..
Sorry man. Just curious, I thought I phone as complex as this that maybe there was some silly and simple fix. Maybe that could be a project for someone that is up for a challenge. Find the command and a way to change it so it shuts off after being opened. I don't know, just bouncing ideas around that's all. Thank you for even responding though, I appreciate it it very much

To each his own... personally I'd be saying "Who in the world would want a 1min message tone that would require him to grab his device and open the message to stop it if he doesn't want to be looked at like a dork by all the people around?"
Phone call = continuous ring, normal as the person on the other end is waiting for you to pick up - Message: short notification so you know something has happened, but isn't urgent so no need to insist...
Can go both ways
im interested in this also,keep me updated

See whether this works for you..
"Just press the end call button n the message tone will stop".
Got this tip from a fellow forumer...Thanks to him..
It works on my Sony xperia...
looking for this also. on custom roms this did work, but now i got a newer 6.1 rom on my tp2 (stock) and it plays. i like to have long tones for stuff i dont get often mms, email, voicemail. this has to be somewhere on the interweb
Recently the Google Voice app has started opening very slowly. When I tap on the icon to open it, the screen freezes for a solid 2 seconds before opening. I tried deleting data, reinstalling. I even switched kernels because I thought a new one I installed did something. No luck.
All other apps open fine. And its not just first boot either. It does it even if I just opened the app, gone back to the home screen and try and bring it back up right away.
I'm running FireFly 2.0.5 with Firebird2 0.8.
Any suggestions?
Login via a computer and go to voice.google.com. Then remove all old saved calls. Its lagging because it still needs to go through all the old calls even though you said to remove them!

I did that too. Deleted all my 9000+ records. Making it a point to empty the account completely (purging history, inbox, thrash), but still no use. It still takes atleast 6-10 seconds to open up.
Never had this kind of lag earlier though I never used to empty thrash.

I archived everything in my inbox. (It was a lot smaller than yours. Only a little over 1000 items.) Still no luck for me either. Maybe it's just the app?

9000+ was earlier. I deleted everything, and emptying thrash getting my count to 0. Now I hardly have like 10-20 in mine. Still the heavy lag!!!
I'm sure everyone hates the stupid AT&T ringtone, and if you don't you should. About once a day my phone reverts back to that abomination of a ringtone, after I have changed it to a different ringtone--one that doesn't make me want to pile drive my phone into the concrete.
It's as if it wants to spite me because I can find no apparent reason why it's doing this.. I've tried a couple of things: 1) restarting the phone and having someone call me when it starts back up (this ended up not being the cause) 2) letting it lay around for hours and then checking, which sometimes ends with relief that it hasn't chosen that satan-conjuring jingle, but sometimes not..
Anyone have any idea what in the blazes is going on?
I've noticed it happening to mine on occasion, too, for no apparent reason.
Are you using a different stock ringtone? Or one from your sd card? If you remove you're sd card for something or connect via PC, it can happen. It could also happen if you use an app that accesses your sound. For instance, it was happening to me when I used handcent messenger. It's a great app, but once I uninstalled, it stopped happening.

I was using the one called "Modular Light"--pretty sweet one... I'm not sure of any app I'm using that needs to access my sound settings.. What I'm trying now is a custom sound set that I created by going into the personalization menu.. so far today I've received 3-4 calls and it hasn't chosen enrage me with that smut.. we shall see...
Looks like you found a solution.
Mine gets reset back to the default "AT&T ringtone" sometimes, after reboots or connecting to PC via USB port -- very irritating.
Is there a way to disable the default "AT&T ringtone" using a temp root?
Hello everyone. I'm really interested in getting this watch for the custom faces. I have no interest in connecting to my email, using a facebook I don't have, paging my cat, etc. Yes, I want to spend $300 dollars on this for custom faces. I know my options, I know the alternatives. You may call me crazy. Heck my psychiatrist does. Did he tell you to say that? Ok I don't have a psychiatrist. Maybe you don't believe me. Not my problem. What I do have is an Sony Ericsson Xperia Play phone running 2.3.4 gingerbread. Wont upgrade until something with a built in Playstation-like controller is released i.g. never, or rather when I'm millions of dollars richer. Don't steal my idea. If you don't already know, I'm living in the dark ages and I'm loving it. Like McDonald's milkshakes. Which I gotta start cutting back on. Why am I telling you all of this? Good question. But not the question I'm here to ask.
Can I connect my watch to a friend's modern droid phone, download a bunch of custom faces, desync it, go offline and never look back? Or are my accounts and dirty internet histories gonna stay with his phone? I don't mind my professional email being invaded, but I don't like people copying me or my internet histories. It just cramps my style. On a more serious note, I don't mind people copying me. It's flattering. My cat's name is Porko if you were wondering.
Yeah, you can upload whatever Watch face you like and just turn off the Bluetooth and you're offline..
That psychiatrist you mention might just be a good thing you know
And, this ain't Reddit, so cat names aren't important
I don't own this device but.. Does the watch sync time from phone? So after reboot or so you need to pair again to get correct time to watch?
No, it had an OS capable of tellinh and handling time but no internet conection
You can use without phone, but you must never power down an LG watch without phone. When you power off it lost hour until it connect to a phone to sync hour. When LG boot it is 1H00 on january 1, 1970 You can restart but never down. You can not power off for night.

You can reboot without power off. If you power OFF and ON you must have a phone to connect the watch until hour sync. After you can disconnect.
I've had my watch lose connection and as such, the correct time in the middle of my work day. The problem fixes itself right away, but this could be a problem for you trying to use the watch independently.
