Tilt very very unresponsive today.

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

Phantom Reset

I was using my phone a few hours ago (adding an icon from the application drawer to the home screen if that will help with solving the problem) when suddenly, the phone reset itself as though I had done a wipe from the recovery console. I had to sign back into Google and re-sync my contacts and calendar. All my settings were back to defaults. My home screen icons disappeared and changed to the default icons (browser, contacts, dialer, market, messaging, maps) as did the wallpaper. All my SMS messages were gone. Basically, it as was as though I had wiped and flashed the ROM for the first time.
However, and this is the weird part. Not only were all my apps still there but they were still installed. All the settings were lost but they were still there. I am not concerned with the restoration of my settings or anything like that. I've got that all covered with backups. My big question is why did it happen? Has anyone experienced or heard of this phantom reset? My ROM details are in my sig but just in case that changes and someone visits this post later, it will make more sense to them if I list it in the post itself.
Cyanogen 3.6.8.1 w/Recovery Menu v1.4. Radio v2.22.19.26i. A2SD on 550MB ext2 partition. Compcache enabled/24MB.

Has the only happened once with you? It could have been just a glitch.

Well, I can tell you why your apps survived, because you have them on sd card so that's not weird, you can wipe all you want and they will survive.
I would say this is a glitch, don't worry about it unless it happens again.

Yes, the apps on sd being the reason I didn't lose them makes sense. I had a different problem losing apps on the sd when I wiped but that was a mistakes in the way I was slinking and it was also on JF1.51 (a2sd is very unstable on that ROM). Anyway, I'm seriously hoping it was just a one time glitch because my setup is voodoo smooth otherwise. I finally got my G1 running perfectly and I'd hate to think something was wrong. Either way, Nandroid is always an option.

Phantom Reset Not a Glitch. Happened Again!
OK. So it happened again. The phantom reset that I described in the first post happened to me again. It's pretty annoying to have to perform Nadroid restores all the time. Anyone have any real thoughts other than telling me it was a fluke?

Possible Answer
I am pretty certain that this happened right after I used Backup for Root Users. I have my identical setup on my father's G1 and this has never happened. He has told me in the past that he does not use that app. I don't want to instantly blame the app but I want to provide as much info as possible. Cyan's ROMs are too good for this to be an issue.

The dev has reported that it has issues (if you can replicate the errors, send him a logcat)
hes on the forums on this site

SOLVED
Thanks a lot. I will try and write-up (on dev's site) of what I was doing when it happened. It happened to me twice so I don't think I will use it again (at least until it's fixed). I am a backup freak so I like to use multiple apps but nandroid seems to cover it all. I will stick with what seems to work (and work well) for now.
On a side note, Cyan's latest looks too juicy not to try out. Going to upgrade now.

android.process.acore is giving me lots of crap. please help!!

Hi, I just joined this community
I am here cause my phone has pretty much become useless,
I did a hard reset on my phone ( more like a 100 of them ) & still no luck...my touch screen is not working, I cant make or receive any calls, i can't access my contacts, nor can I send new texts unless people text me first.
If i try to access any of it it tells me that android.process.acore has to force close.
I do not believe its any app as I've done a hard reset on my phone & I am still having the same problem.
It is so frustrating cause I baby the phone & this would happen to me.
I'd appreciate it if anyone could help.
I was thinking maybe reverting back to an old update like RC29 could maybe help?

Well then what are you waiting for?
If your using the stock 1.6 there have been some known bugs, so you could try to root or go to tmo and ask for a replacement.

i think i will have to call tomorrow...it kinda sucks you know?
sometimes it works for like 10 minutes and then it goes back to not working at all. very frustrating.

Have you installed an alternative Home launcher? That sometimes causes issues. Another one is a messed up contact. If you wipe the phone completely does it boot normally to the "log into Google" stage?

[Q] phone crashes every night

Hi all,
for the last 5 or 6 days, my phone has crashed every single night. :-(
When I go to bed, I just leave it on the table, not charging, but with enough battery left to easily last for the night. The next morning, the phone is switched off and I cannot switch it back on, because the battery is completey drained.
When I charge and then turn the phone back on, it has done a "partial reset", meaning that all settings are back to factory defaults, contacts are gone, ... All accounts, apps, ... are still there, though. The worst part is that I cannot receive calls anymore either, in this case. Callers are immediately redirected to my mailbox, even though the phone has a signal and I can make outgoing calls without problems. The only way to fix this is a factory reset.
The next night, the same happens again.
Has anybody had a similar problem? Does anybody have an idea how to fix it?
Thanks and regards,
Andy

I'm sorry that I have no advice for you Andy, but I'm interested in hearing any solutions you may find.
What firmware/ROM are you using?

I am still using the stock Froyo ROM that the phone came with. The phone is rooted and I've installed a SpeedMod Kernel. However, both (rooting and new kernel) have happened months ago, so I doubt that they have anything to do with the problem.

(partial) solution found
Since a phone that crashes every night, using all settings in the process, is fairly useless, I decided that I might just as well trash it completely by trying (and maybe failling ) to install a custom firmware. So I downloaded Darky 10.1 and thanks to an excellent installation guide, I actually managed to install it.
Since then, my phone does no longer crash every night - it now reboots a couple of times a day The good thing is, though that after the reboot, the phone is back "in action" after maybe two minutes and it does not lose any data, setting or anything. So, it's not ideal, but much better than before ...

I was going to recommend trying a new ROM, but I found that as a workaround rather than a solution to your problem.
Did you perform a wipe or no-wipe install?

As I had pointed out in my first post, the crash that happens every night breaks something so that I can no longer receive calls and have to do a factory reset. Thus, the phone was basically wiped, already, before I did the installation and I then did a no-wipe install.
You are right, of course that this is more of a work around than a solution, but since I was thinking about putting on a new ROM for a while, already, anyways, it is a fairly good work around for me - and I really like Gingerbread and DarkyROM so far.

In the end it turned out to be a hardware problem and I needed to get the phone replaced.

Text messaging problem

Hey guys, so today I decided to backup my texts and once I did that I started to delete messages from my phone (as I normally do without any problems). I know it can take literally forever for just one convo to delete especially if you have over TONS of messages, so i waited and waited for the 'deleting messages' box to disappear.
I left my phone doing it's thing whilst ocassiaonlly using the phone at the same time, obviously I didn't do anything in texts, but when I went back on messaging I noticed it was gone, so I tapped on messaging again only to find the 'opening conversation' to appear and its been stuck like that for ages, therefore I cannot access any of my texts yet..
Any advice on what to do? Is it really still opening conversations? (it's been about 15mins probably!) and I have no idea if it deleted one of my convo's fully.. Is it safe to turn the phone off & then back on perhaps? I don't want to risk losing anything...
Hope it all makes sense. Thanks!
EDIT: nevermind sorry, it literally just stopped with the opening conversation message and back up. My convo I tried to delete is still there though, so will try again and not touch anything this time! Sorry, please remove this thread if you wish!

Oh my days, it's now probably been about 2 hours since I started deleting and its STILL doing it - is it supposed to take THIS long?

I had my phone showing messages from another conversation/recipient a few days ago. In this case, all alerts from my train operator about delays were showing as being sent from my wife.
Killing the task and reloading messaging seemed to fix it, but it now has me worried that such problems might one day see me getting corruption errors, although I don't really have any texts I couldn't afford to lose.
