Cruise cannot be turned off

I installed several programs on my Cruise and unfortunately the device cannot be turned off anymore.
If I hold the button on top of the device and hold it, you get the message that you are turning the device off....but it puts it in hibernate....
I don't really know which program caused the problem, since I seldom turn my phone off. So in the 2 weeks I have the phone, I tried to turn it off only once.
In the beginning the button worked...but now...not anymore.
I know I can try a hard reset, but I am reluctant...since I have to install everything again.
The software I installed were:
SBSH PocketBreeze (uninstalled it)
PZP tools (uninstalled it)
BatteryStatus Advanced
SPB Diary
HTC Home Customizer
At least these are the programs of which I think could have caused the problem.
Does anybody know how to correct this, without hardresetting?

Same situation for me .....
Maybe HTC HomeCustomizer ???

you can try soft reseting the device with the stylus and see once it is back on if the problem persists. then u might want to try uninstalling the last application u installed to see if it makes a difference.

I have used HTC Home Customizer and do not have this problem. Have you tried a short double press of the power button? Sounds like the long press power off works by your descriptions. You may also want to check if xpshut will work for you.

I tried xpshut also with no results, now after hardresetting seems it's all ok. If the situation will repeat i'll write it in this thread, thanks mates

Problem seems to be resolved
The problem seems to be HTCHome v2.1 necessary for HHCustomizer to work. I installed it and i'm not able to turn off the device, after uninstalled it's all ok.

At least there is someone to share this inconvenience. Glad to hear you found out what caused it....however, does your Home Customizer still work?

No, it doesn't work without HTCHome v2.1

Keypad service
There's also a service, keypad, that if stopped, disables all buttons. Not sure if this applies to you or not, but I had stopped it on my TC by accident, and had the same issue you described.

Best way to install ROM

To flash then Hard reset then start setting up the ROM, or just flash and start setting up your phone.
What is the point of the hard reset after a flash of ROM?

Clean install. May just be my imagination, but I've had far better luck with ROMs when I hard reset after flashing...both other's cooked and mine - FWIW. Plus all the great chefs here seem to suggest it, which is enough for me.

I've taken the liberty of explaining the benefits of a hardreset after a flash.
Check my signature for the link called Things to do before and after a flash.

can you tell me how to hard reset kaiser?

One the flash has completed and you get to screen that says “Tap the screen to begin to set up your windows-mobile device” perform a hard reset.
To do this press & hold your left and right soft keys. Those are the key that are just above the Internet and Message button and push you stylus into the reset button. Hold this for about 3-5 seconds. A screen will appear that says “This operation will delete all your personal data, and reset all settings to manufacturer default. Press send to restore manufacturer default or press other keys to cancel” If you want to continue hit the green call button.
Once the restore is complete press the green call button again and this will reboot your phone. If you want to cancel out of this press any other button.
This reason behind doing this is quite significant. If you do this you will have far less problems then if you do not do it. Trust me on this. This is a proven solution to a lot of problems that many users will face.
[size=+2]YOU SHOULD ALWAYS PERFORM A HARD RESET WHEN FLASHING TO ANY NEW ROM![/size]

Thank you very much alltheway. Great information.

Wifi Wont Turn On

Im running Duty's 6.1 and for some reason my wifi wont turn on. Whenever i go to the Comm. Manager and click wifi the wait cursor comes up than the wifi stays off. Any help on what could be the problem?

What Comm Manager are you using?
Check in the registry @ HKLM\Software\HTC\CommManager.
The WLAN key should end in \TNETW12511.
Then soft reset, if this doesn't work post all the values in WLAN and I will have a look.

wow.. wifi seems to be working now.. ive done about 5 soft resets and that did nothing before... but anyways thanks for the help

I read wifi as wife.... and wondered what the hell you were doing on this forum! ;-P

A Hard Reset will fix that wife problem.
Hold down both soft buttons and Insert your stylus into the small hole on the bottom.
Am I sick? or is this just HTC humor (if so I didn't know they had any)
P.S. It's 11:30 pm on a Sunday, I really need sleep.

Dave;
Same problem here, WiFi won't turn on.
I am using Schap's 6 button Comm Mgr cab on of the latest ATT rom release.
Checked the CommMgr registry key and it had two key values, the one did not end with the TNETW12311 as suggested. I tried changing just the ending but that did not work.
I also changed the Name value key to wrlsmgr.exe as that was the name of the exe I found in the Windows directory. That did not help either. If I run wrlsmgr directly then I can turn Wifi on and off.
I figure at this point my WLAN key is all screwed up so if you could provide me the correct values I will try to enter them.
Thanks!
Mark

Change name to WLanSettings.exe, I think let me know if it doesn't work.

Actually the WALN key should end in TNETW12511 and not TNETW12311

The executable required should NOT be "WLanMgr.exe" but should be instead "WLANSettings.exe".
Has this been done?
And it should be the corrected WLAN value of TNETW12511

Must depend on the ROM, I have had this issue before with one of Schapps 6 btn comm managers.
Those were the two changes I made to get it working.

A hard reset fixed it!

I restored my system from a backup and it stopped working. I turned off PhoneAlarm and - bingo - it worked again.

The "5" and the "WLANSettings.exe" followed by a hard reset seems to have fixed it for me too.
Thanks all!

Actually, if you made the changes and then did a hard reset, the changes went away. If you are using PhoneAlarm, there is a brand new release coming out today that will fix this (at least it fixed mine). The last release screwed WIFI up altogether.

Hilarious

[Q] Shut down toggle switch?

Hey everyone,
First off i wanted to show my appreciation to the Dev's on this site for all your hard work, The minute I seen the HD2 I had to have it, But out of the box i was kinda let down with its UI and OS limitations, So i checked around and found this site and I've been making my phone more custom to my needs everyday, without these tweaks and mods, The phone would have most likely been returned within days. But now I'm hooked. And I'm def looking forward to seeing a 100% stable android rom so i dont have to use WMO anymore, and I know its just a matter of time. So again thanks a lot for your hard work!
With that being said, I'm relativly new to WMO and this whole customization process, I've gotten this far because of the tutorials on the site and just reading a lot, but theres still some i dont understand, But I'll ask those questions when the time comes in a whole new thread.
*NOTE: I'M ON TMOUS. ROM IS STOCK 3.14.*
The question I have is:
I just installed a cab (longpress reset) so that when i hold the endkey (red button on the far right bottom of the HD2) for a few seconds it soft resets my phone, which is awesome because my phone likes to lock up a lot and I really hate having to pull it apart and reseting it by pulling the battery or find a paper clip or something to push the reset button.
But even tho I have yet to actually turn my phone off, I feel like im going to miss the option (I no longer get the stock action screen with the turn-off phone option since i installed the said cab above.) And at this point, unless I'm missing something, I have no way to turn my phone off now.
I was looking for a - POWER OFF TOGGLE SWITCH/BUTTON - like the toggle switches that came with CHTeditor. Just a button I can place right on my home screen in my quicklinks that if i need to I can just click to power off my phone. Is there currently anything like this available? I've been looking for hours and cant find anything like it.
If not, is this something someone can put together, I would be greatly appreciative and would be happy to donate anything I could.
Thanks.
Dan

Just decide to use CHT 2.0. There you´ll find exactly the switch that restarts the phone

Thanks, But I no longer have the option to select anything when i hold my endkey, which is what i want, so when the phone freezes i can just simply restart it without taking it apart, so i'm just looking for a button (which as soon as cht 2.0 is out of beta, I guess i'll have) that i can put on my home screen for the time being, that just incase i need to i can just power off my phone with the hit of a single button.
It might be on there, but im just seeing the endkey menu thing like the one that came stock on my htc hd2.
Thanks everyone for the quick replies and help!

Yep, I found them, But when i push the "Shutdown" or "Softreset" buttons the cab installed, they just turn my screen off and lock my phone, just like when i short click my endkey. Weird.

Try this one, I wrote it specially for you 8) hehehehe
