XDA IIi occasionally inexplicably slows down - General Topics

Every now and then my XDA2I inexplicably slows down to a crawl and equally mysteriously comes back to normal speed after several minutes. The only additional software I have installed (but not necessarly running) is Calligrapher 7 and OmniSolve (a calculator that allows me to use RPN.
Has this happened to anyone else? Can anyone suggest what the problem might be?

Slow down
It happens to me as well, think it's when the phone is calling home/getting a sync to the nearest beacon..

Mine does this too, the only thing i have found to cause it slowing down is the SD card i have ...
Its a cheap 1 gig card but when the phone slows down if i remove the sd card it will skip back to normal speed.
Very wierd and a mega pain in the rear...

Me too!
My new O2 XDA IIi has the same problem, a few times a day it slows to a crawl. I touch the screen, I count to three, then I hear the screen tap!
I'm on the verge of returning it.
I also have a 1 gig SD card - branded Bytestor hi-speed.
Any tips from anyone?
Thanks!
Conor

Remove the card for a week and see what happens?

I have the same problem with my Qtek 2020i, but I don't have a SD Card inserted.

maybe this?
I outstalled the onboard 02 UI software, (which is always unwelcome and distracting) and everything seems to be much smoother now. Could it be their software I wonder that caused the problem?

Hi,
I have the same problems with no extended rom files installed.
I also have a Extrememory 1GB card which I blamed for the speed.
It got a little better after disabling Microsoft Voice Dial and the Pocket Plus today plugin, but these problems persist:
It is not possible to enable Wlan after having BT enabled, only after a reboot.
Sometimes the phone hangs when a call arrives (caller gets to the mailbox - very funny)
BT-Headset loses connection frequently.
BT-range is about 1 meter, than it sounds distorted.
Funny also that I noticed that there was no \Windows\Rings folder on my Qtek 2020i.....
BTW: Rom is 1.11.01 Ger. Radio 1.02
Where do you get updates from (in German).... :?: I know that the German xda2i have Radio 1.03 which does not seem to have the problems of my Radio.

O2 Atom = BAD BAD. How to fix?

I've bought the non HTC O2 Xda Atom PPC Phone days ago. This device has quite alot of annoying problems. I believe all these issues have to be rectified before we can comfortably use this device.
I. VERY FEW Main Storage Memory
As we know WM5 includes PS (Persistent Storage). All the RAM are now used as Program Memory. But the Main Storage Memory (Flash ROM) is only 22.1MB. This is petite and would not be sufficient for installations of programs that has to be installed on the main memory to work. The Storage memory is 43.9Mb, I wonder if there is anyway to MERGE the 43.9Mb and 22.1Mb which would make things alot easier.
II. EXTREMELY Slow!
The device's response is very slow. It takes seconds to load things or half a sec to response to tap sometimes. It is just SLOW. I thought it has something to do with WM5 but after upgrading my BlueAngel to WM5, it is SIGNIFICANTLY faster. I've already tried the Registry cache mod to speed it up a little but it is still slow. Even lags up when I type a sms.
III. CHOPPY Mp3 ringtone
It is just so choppy that it is unbearable. How to fix?
IV. Phone Answering Delays
V. Camera is EXTREMELY Slow! Quality of pictures acceptable as a 2MP device.
VI. In Car charger DOES NOT charge phone unless the phone is switched off. Why??
The cons are so critical that it outweighs all the pros of this device
I would rate it 5/10 personally. I am going back to my BA WM5 unless there are fixes. :!:
I have ALL those problems too. It sucks. The memory issue is really bad. I think the choppy ring is from the file being shuffled out of the rom to play. Sometimes I get an error message saying I have no memory when I try to take a pic (when I have used no memory ). If there was a way to get wm2003se onto it I would be willing to do it, but I doubt it is possible.
I HAD the same annoying problems. I wrote to O2. The reply I got is quite formal and useless. It seems most of people wrote to O2, they got the same template-style reply.
I understand how new thigns can have problems but I doubt if there will ever be fixes to the problems listed. We are just not supposed to go back to the default ringer tone because the Mp3 ringtone is so choppy. The Mp3 ringtone Works perfectly on my WM5 Blueangel.
The 22.11MB(16.13 Actual) storage memory just WON'T work. Even if I install everything on the storage cards, there would still be files needed to be written on \windows\ directory, the size of the main storage is just way too small.
The overall speed is slow and unbearable.
I think I am going to sell the device in a few days... Spent too much time trying to fix a $900 phone. Has anyone tried the bundled headset? The pieces are SO BIG that I doubt anyone with the largest earholes can put them on... Just Bad O2...
yesterday I went to Broadway and I saw that there is guy buying this O2 crappy machines.....and I think he will have the same feeling with yours....
But I cannot do anything at that moment.... :roll:
The quality is Below standard expectations. I would not recommend this device to anyone. Do you know where I can sell it off in Hong Kong at a good price?
i think sell it in yahoo.com.hk is the best place.... :lol:
I was going to buy the exec as well later in the year. I do not know any more. Has anyone bought it to comment?
I only have wm5 from the atom, I would like to know just how much of the problem is wm5 and how much is the hardware. O2 have really tarnished the brand name xda. I was dumb enough to buy just based on previous experience with other xda's.
Try some twaeking.. it helps
I have the Atom and I have been tweaking it a little.. the speed performance has improved.. now maybe up to about 85% - 90% of my O2 Mini.. so, it may not be as bad, if you tried some of these tweaks..

Those peeps who said problems with MP3 ringtones, i had the same problem with MP3 but if i convert that MP3 to WMA it plays perfectly as a ringtone, i believe that this is because WAV,MID & WMA play natively but the MP3 ringtone goes through a WM10 player.

More Atom Problems
[NB: duplicate post from other Atom thread - suggest an Atom specific area?]
Apart from the poor response time, I also find the standard alarm function does not work properly. A quick test with the alarm set for 10 minutes ahead works well, but 6am the next morning does not sound at all, until you later go into the alarm section to find out why, and then it goes off. Any ideas anyone?
Also, my Atom turns itself on accasionally for no reason. No incoming call or SMS, no alarm set, no USB or bluetooth connection, etc. It just turns on and sits there. Any ideas anyone?
Also - another poster advised removing items from start-up. How do you do this? Does it require a registry edit?
thanks,
depressed_atom_user
my friend from O2 Said, that the old version is very slow
and the there is the newer version from o2, but is not official lunch yet
is have batter memory architecture :roll:
Yeah.. I get the exact same alarm problem..
Ended up late to work 'cause of this.
I just sent in my Atom to the service centre (SG).. hope to receive it by tomorrow evening. Really eager to check out the improvements.

I second psxp's question. What was the problem with your miniSD card?
Apparently, I am having a very typical problem where the O/S "looses" the card as soon as it comes out of standby mode. Was this your problem? If so, what fixed it? Re-formatting your card? I have tried that twice already, from 2 different phones, one of them being my 750. Guess I will have to try from my laptop using my card reader too.

BT audio gateway for HEADSET, not headphones
Hey,
Ever since I tweaked the the tytn to keep the BT audio gateway open, (so to listen to mp3's thru a headset), I've wanted to do it on the treo's but have had no success. I know I can get a BT headphone that support the a2dp profile, but I kinda like the smallness of a headset & don't care about audio quality...any tweaks or help is appreciated...
I've got the second Treo 750v after I sold the first one 2 months ago and was hoping that maybe the following bug will be fixed or that my 1st unit only had this failure, but with the current 2nd unit, I have the same problem:
When I start dialing a contact or a entered number -the phone application starts to dial- and if the phone volume is set to the middle level or even higher, the dialing tone is extremely loud. It is impossible to hold the Treo closed to the ear, so I must to decrease the volume.
This appears everytime when the Treo was set to higher volume even during the last call and I'm wondering whether there is any registry-hack how to decrease the overall dialing tone??
here's my list... so far
OK, here goes. I previously had a Treo 650 (Palm OS, so you have to take these criticisms in the context of that. Palm OS is brill, wish I had stayed put)
- Random lightups (phone lights up for no reason - really off-putting in the car, prob something to do with it losing then re-finding vodafone signal)
- No sound - even when al settings are correct (solution: soft reset)
- Making notes While in call - you try it, it takes about 20 taps just to get to any app in which to write (the old 650 took one button press)
- Too many button presses for simple common tasks generally
- Strange behavior when shiftlock or nulockm is inadvertently on (i.e when pressing the app buttons it does strange things, but there is no visual indication that you have shiftlock on)
- Too many button presses to sync. Old palm 650: 1 press on a shortcut key. palm 750: start, activesync, menu, connect, sync (at least 5 presses, then keeps the bluetooth connection up and kills your battery)
- Doesn't auto end calls, when the other party hangs up
- doesn't sort notes by category - if you use categories in outlook notes the treo ignores them and you just get a massive list
- No visual indication of mute, so in the dark you have to fiddle with the hardware switch (which incidentally is way more fiddly than on the 650)
- Sync doesn't sync an item if it is still open (and its not obvious if you exit an app with the item still open)
- You can't see all an appointment description in the small space gives, it doesn't do a line break
- Items randomly not synced
- commands for common edit functions are different in different screens (i.e you cant just do menu x to cut, or menu c to copy cos it does something completely different
- many button clicks just to go speakerphone - what happened to the simple onscreen buttons for speaker, mute, hold, etc???
- Click on appt in today view doesn't take u to the appt but to the current day - so if you are looking at an entry in today for an appt tomorrow and you click it, the treo takes you to the calendar but on today
- When treo turns off while in an app, say while I am reading a note, when I turn it back on it goes to today screen, not back to the note i was in, so then I have to do about 50million clicks to get back to my note (which incidentally I have no way to organize by category so I have a huge list of 134 items to scroll through to find the right one. No way to view notes by categories (when u use outlook categories for notes)
- Unnecessary taps to edit a task note - when a task is displayed and i tap the notes it should go staight to the edit screen, but no, it ignores me, then I have to hit edit, then I have to select the 'notes' tab, then scroll to the right place in the text... TOO MANY CLICKS
- Cant use the 5way nav to move from appointment to appointment, it just scrolls the whole screen (when viewing a day view). You need to take out and use stylus or use your finger
- When in a no signal area and you accidentally try to mke a call (cos you hit the green button twice because the response time is so bad you thought it didn't hear you the first time), it says call in progress endlessly on the screen when no call in progress. Solution: turn off phone and turn back on again.
- No way to assign apps to the quickdial buttons like you can on palm - which makes the problem of millions of taps to open simple common apps even worse
- repeat speed is too fast for the basic programmes to handle so the buffer fills up and it keeps repeating after you release a key (I know I can turn the speed down, but its only set at midway, it should be able to keep up, should not allow me to set it faster than it can handle, or should at least clear the buffer when I release the key so it doesn’t keep scrolling)
- search my 1500 contacts hangs, slows entire machine, 'stop' key doesnt work and i cant browse my contacts. Requires reset
- no option to auto lock at a certain time. The only options I have are after 12 hours or 2 hours, but 12 hours is too long and 2 hours is too short. In the REAL treo (palm OS) you can set a pre-determined time, so you set it for sday 1am, and you know its going to lock. If I set it for 2 hours it sometimes locks during the day and sends all my calls to voicemail. If I set it for 12 hours that’s not much security, cos anyone who finds it if I lose it will probably never get locked out. Crap.
...thats it so far...
My verdict.... will I keep the 750 or go back to the (palm OS) 650.....?
I will keep the 750. for all its problems it MUCH more sexy, and I am ashamed to say that actually counts for something. Now, if they could just get te apps working more like the Palm apps it'd be sorted. D

sleep of death

any one else getting it? unit goes in to standby and then wont wake up you have to soft reset.
ive been getting it frequently very anoying im using the big storage rom i dont rember who made it i can find out of some one wants to know
but is any one else having problems like me?
No problems here. I'm using the clean 1978 ROM...
I had it happen yesterday, running the stock AT&T ROM.
Hi
No problems here either.
It's worth remembering the phone wakes itself up about once an hour, although the display is dark so you will not see this happening.
If you have installed some software that doesn't handle this switching on very well and it crashes the phone, it will look the phone has died in standby, but it probably hasn't, it just looks that way.
I would advise a clean reset and not to install any programs, and see if it happens again. If it does your phone may be faulty, for example a memory problem that surfaces when the phone goes into a low power state.

Mine SOD'ed last night. I was using the phone, turned the screen off using the power button, then plugged it into my computer USB to charge. I was trying to do it one-handed and as you could imagine I was fiddling with the cable/phone for 30 seconds before I got the mini-usb plug into the phone. I watched to see the charging light come on but it didn't. I then tried to turn on the phone and realized I was SOD'ed. It only happens to me once every 1-2 weeks. My phone runs the stock Tilt ROM, but with lots of custom cabs installed, ie:
HTC Home 6 button
HTC Taskmanager 2.0 30995
Skype
Color Dot battery indicator
Schaps 10 Button Comm manager
PocketCM
Funambol 6.5.4
I push my phone all day long, surfing, ssh'ing into servers with putty, imap email, playing music etc, and I think if there was a bad memory issue Id see something other than an SOD. IMHO,theres a bug in the power management software.
SOD happened on my Tilt too. Im runnig the ATT rom. I had the same problem with the 8525 with the earlier ROM. The problem is IMAP email push. IF you use IMAP there is a chance you will get SOD once in a while. I changed all my emails to POP3 never had SOD since then.
I think you guys have to run the kaiser tweek to turn off the sleep mode in the registry. I had the SOD once....forgot to modify the registry via the kaisertweak app. 1st 2 options i think is what you have to modify.....that should fix you guys up.
Happened With Me too !!!
Now after using my at&t tilt flashed with HTC stock rom for 5 days, suddenly today my device suffered from a SOD.... had to soft-reset.... tried to figure out what went wrong but without any luck..... do any of u guys figured out the cause.... Kaiser Tweak only allows us to disable the sleep mode during call.....
kaiser falling sleep happens to me so frequently that I read all the posts with the key words KAISER FREEZE on xda-developers.
The only solution seems to power off and on again.
On modaco.com somebody posted a small applet which does automatically the power on-off for you.
Of course this does not remove the problem, just hide it...
Additionally I have tried 4 different WWE ROMS! from Att to HTC original ROMS to cooked Helmi aka 0.7.0 etc... No way to solve.
Please if modifying the registry can solve, can somebody post the link for kaiser tweaks and possibly the application?
Thanks

I think it might have something to do with Windows Live Maps program. This happend to me everytime I was using the program in the background. I upgraded the version and it stopped the problem I was having.

Same here... I upgraded to helmi_c's Tilt ROM and haven't had the problem since. Pretty much guarantted though, if you leave Live Search running in the background and your phone goes to sleep... it will not wake up with the stock ATT ROM (at least with the current version of Live Search).
Cheers!!
SOD has typical been associated with running programs off of a Storage card. I had tons of SOD problems with the early WM6 Hermes ROMs. So far I have only had SOD a few times on my Tilt (running austinsync's BigStorage ROM). I installed Google maps to my microSD and within 20 minutes had 3 SODs. I uninstalled it and they stoppped immediately (Live Search is way better anyway).
I would recommend installing any programs that you use heavily or leave running onto the main memory. Also, saving attachments to a storage card has been a known cause as well.
I think SOD issues will get better as more ROMs start coming out for the Kaiser (and the chefs keep cooking).
OK, this keeps happening to me with the AT&T ROM....today it happened with no programs running in the background, anybody figure out a solution yet?
Me too
well I've had this problem also while running my own cooked rom, however to be fair i had this problem in the early days of the hermes. I thought however that the hermes problem was related to activesync's push email and the data connection (i.e. switching between 3G and 2G alot making activesync trip out) That all said maybe I'm barking up the wrong tree?!
Oh just in case anyone as the time to investgate this problem, I do know the Toshiba G900 had alot of problems with SOD inwhich tosh releases a fix for...... maybe if someone was to look at what that fixed it could help us here? have a read here > www.my900.com
Kaiser won't power back up
My unit after reset won't either power up or down with the power button. Everything still functions.
I found that if I have the power charger connected it works fine, so I thought I had a weak battery. Got a new battery and same thing.
Don't know what's going on, but if you do a soft reset with the charger plugged in, it will reset fine.
Hope someone figures this out!
Be careful overconfiguring...

This might be the case, but I tried calling my phone when it SOD'd and didn't get a ring (it rang on the phone I was calling from.) I bet the problem is installed programs conflicting somehow, maybe kaisertweak will fix it in the future.
I can't guess what causes it tho...
For now, I'm running Kyphur's XDA Live and it has yet to happen.

I was running Kypher's Tilt XDA-Live v 1.0 (AWSOME) with several custom cabs including PocketCM and was getting the SOD every time. I wiped the phone and started adding all of my cabs one at a time and all of them are loaded back in except PocketCM and since then i have not seen a single SOD.
Tim
I've noticed that I get the SOD a LOT more when I have bluetooth active. Not sure if that's just coincidental but literally the only time I've noticed the SOD has been when I've had BT enabled.
Happens to me a few times a week very annoying.
Well, I don't do emails, use Windows live, have pocketCM, used my bluetooth, tried Google maps, or have any programs on my sd card (basically whatever you all mentioned above, I don't have or do!), and still get SOD. So I guess I start backtracking. Sigh...

Strange network problem

Some time ago I wrote a thread at the Diamond section about a problem with my HTC Diamond, regarding the unusual waking up of the phone in random periods of time. This happens on a freshly installed ROM from the HTC, official one. Nobody could help me, so I switched back to my Touch Cruise, again after freshly installed ROM (no third party software installed) and the problem started apearing again. I came to the conclusion that the problem is somehow related to my SIM card. I guess there is some bug either in WM or in my mobile operator's network, regarding something with 3G or HSDPA. My opinion is that on random intervals my phone recieves some kind of a signal from the network or loses some kind of a signal, which makes it to wake up. I reached this opinion because there is a certain place on the road between my home and office, where the phone ALWAYS wakes up. I guess there is a weak spot in the network.
My question is: How can I find and read the system log of Windows Mobile 6.1 ? I am asking this because I am almost certain that there will be some kind of information or error message on the times of the wake, which will help me determin the problem.
try to use your phone in Airplane Mode.. if it happened again then it doesnt belong to your network
I Found the problem !!!
Finally after months of agony, I have found the source of my problem. It was my SIM Card ! The damn thing was broken. I found that this is the problem, because I was already given up on my Diamond and wanted to sell it. So i put my SIM Card in my older Touch Cruise. And as you guess, the Touch started to act the same way as the Diamond. I went to my operator, exchanged my SIM card with a new one and now everything works as a charm. I don't know really what was the problem, but I guess it was some Voltage issue or maybe the card just wasn't getting the right signals. The important thing is that now I get to keep my Diamond and enjoy it without the problems I had.
Thanks for the replies !

Reboot issues
Has anyone been able to sort out the reboot issues?
I have it working in landscape now problems. Except when it is in the actual navigation mode, it reboots the phone.
If there is no nav, just the map, no problem.
Thanks for your help guys.
Reboot issue with iGo on HD2
I had the irritating problem of freezing when starting ANY navigation software. And to be more exact, when the software achieves a satellite fix!!
I noticed that the lower part of the phone warms up everytime, and it helped to extend the duration of navigation software by putting it against the air condition of the car. But this was not enough, because iGo worked only for 5 minutes at best, after which I had to pull the battery and WAIT for a couple of minutes before inserting it again and restart the phone.
It's really hot in Egypt at this time of the year. So, this meant that the HD2 is permanently and completely crippled when it comes to GPS software.
So, I moved to SD android, which had the same problem. The phone also froze when it connected to to GPRS on Android after some time (about 5 minutes without cooling).
The next logic step was flashing a NAND android, hoping that the probelm was in WM6.5.3 itself. Surprisingly, the Android NAND had the same problem!!!
I finally discovered the ultimate solution; UNDER-CLOCK your CPU! since then I could use CoPilot on android for as long as I want.
Now, I'm moving back to WM and going to under-clock the CPU to see if this will work.
please let me know if this helps you..
BTW, I noticed that this restart issues with GPS software was somewhat common with HD2 esp in hot weather, but I think this is the first time somebody (that'll be me!!) comes out with a solution. So, I'm really looking to replicate it and test it.

I used hd2 (wm 6.5.5)+TomTom last summer in Sardinia (not as hot as Egypt .. but driving hours under the sun in a car with black leather interior is quiet the same ) and never had any lags or device over heating.
maybe iGo for WM is buggy
I have never had those issues.
I have been using TomTom for over 12 months, I switched to iGo and it was perfect. I then run iGo Primo and it also works with maps on only.
When I use the voice navigation, thats when it reboots. This tells me it's not an overheating issue, but a config or voices problem.
Other people using it in Italy don't have the problem. I assume I need to find other English voice files.
igo8 without bug on winmo
hi,
personally i am using this version ( Nav N Go iGo8 Revision 3
V 8.3.4.102680 - August 13 2009 )
you can download it from
david2131.com
or from google torrents search
the size is about 44mb without maps
i use it for one year and it has no bug for me and its not slow.
N.B : format your sd card (1 or 2 gb) and install IGO8 on it before installing anything, its very important to do this step for a 100% success.
you don't have to install nothing, it's just copy paste, and works like charm.

I had the irritating problem of freezing when starting ANY navigation software. And to be more exact, when the software achieves a satellite fix!!
I noticed that the lower part of the phone warms up everytime, and it helped to extend the duration of navigation software by putting it against the air condition of the car. But this was not enough, because iGo worked only for 5 minutes at best, after which I had to pull the battery and WAIT for a couple of minutes before inserting it again and restart the phone.
It's really hot in Egypt at this time of the year. So, this meant that the HD2 is permanently and completely crippled when it comes to GPS software.
So, I moved to SD android, which had the same problem. The phone also froze when it connected to to GPRS on Android after some time (about 5 minutes without cooling).
The next logic step was flashing a NAND android, hoping that the probelm was in WM6.5.3 itself. Surprisingly, the Android NAND had the same problem!!!
I finally discovered the ultimate solution; UNDER-CLOCK your CPU! since then I could use CoPilot on android for as long as I want.
Now, I'm moving back to WM and going to under-clock the CPU to see if this will work.
please let me know if this helps you..
BTW, I noticed that this restart issues with GPS software was somewhat common with HD2 esp in hot weather, but I think this is the first time somebody (that'll be me!!) comes out with a solution. So, I'm really looking to replicate it and test it.

I had a same problem and do the tricks same as you do.
At first time for about week or two under clock do the job, but after some time situation goes worse and worse. After problem with GPS, there were problems with WIFI and Youtube clips, after that situation came little bit worse because i didn't even make a call without restart or freeze.
And at all times lower part of phone goes warmer and warmer. I bring it to service and they told me that they know for that bug for HTC HD2 and it`s a usual problem. They changed mother board and now phone work like a charm without this problems and it`s a cold always.
