I've tried this new version found here (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=1769023) hoping that it would solve the freezing-on-incoming-call problem that I experience intermittently.
I've unionstalled the old version, rebooted, installed the new, rebooted again for the sake of safety, but it doesn't show up in the screen, even if I've enalbed it in Today settings.
Are you experiencing this problem too?
@mamaich, and the others: how can we solve?
Hi Bro,
I've totally given up with any version of HTC Home Today no matter how cool it is as it locks up the phone when receiving calls.
The only solution to avoid crash is to run in portrait mode which unfortunately doesn't suit me. Instead, I'll wait for HTC Shift's SnapVue to run in Uni, why not? It runs on HTC Athena!?
Cheers!

yeah, even the HTC Home runs in the athena... it runs in the kaiser...and in the touch, too... so why shouldn't it run on the Universal...
argh... i hate the universal!!!
I think only a few of us are having the freeze/crash problem. Most Uni users don't seem to have any problems at all.

I don't think so. Most uni users switch ROM every 2 days and they don't use the PDA for anything serious at all.
If something suddendly stops working (as it is frequently the case) they just hard reset the device.
I want to use my universal and upgrade the ROM only when needed, when something really new comes out.

Hi guys,
I too get this same problem, and it is very annoying, and yes I do use my Uni for more than just a toy.
Hope we get a working solution soon

confirmed... hangs upon incoming call.... the phone would keep vibrating while all keys/buttons/screen area are locked, no way to answer it....does not stop so had to reset.

you mean this new version? or the old version?
Nice to see "some" of you with the "crash on receiving calls in laptop mode" problem post here!
I use my Uni too as a PDA & a business tool & that made me to conclude that plugin is not for me. The plugin is a beauty but functionality comes first to me. Unless a solution can be found I've learned to live without it!
Going back on topic, haven't tried this version yet but the previous 2.xxxx versions installs well but causes the horrible crash.

I think the version i've found is newer... the version number is higher, and the file was posted just yesterday (29th december) ... in contrast, the version found at your link was posted on november... (but we may well give it a try!)
thanks tho...
HTC Home v.2.1.1005.722 is more then HTC Home v.2.0.1025.721

you are right
but i don't think that version has the VGA fix applied...
Anyway even the link pointed to by wuwuwu doesn't work. Same thing. HTC HOme selected in the setting but it doesn't appear.
me too have the same issue. I have switched to JW 1533 which i feel is the most stable ROM

How can you say that? When the device is in standby, no other program is running. When the device is on, HTC Home causes no major cpu usage (except maybe once a minute, when btw every plugin has a greater chance to use the CPU to redraw itself)
My Tilt was shipped with a rom version 1.57.502.2, and radio 1.27.12.11, and the first few calls i made, i realized that i could hear my own voice on the speaker. at first i thought it was a problem with the network, but it never went away, after a couple weeks of use. So then i started to think that maybe it was meant to be like this, ie some form of feedback, and i did start to like it. oh, and i forgot to mention, i had to do an exchange the very first day, the tilt had a stuck pixel, but i still have not sent it back yet.
Finally having enough fun with bloated at&t rom, i decided to flash Alex's v5 home rom, and after the flash i notice that the voice feedback was gone. so i popped my sim back into my other tilt (the one i was supposed to send back), and made a call, and it still did have that voice feedback.
So out of curiosity, i flashed the tilt with Alex's rom back to the original at&t rom, and the voice feedback came back. Now this makes me wonder, was the voice feedback a bug in the rom version, or was it done on purpose? Any other Tilt users with the at&t rom notice this on their phone?
Now if it was done on purpose, this would be something i would like to enable, cause i did find it easier to talk with the feedback. If this has been discussed before then i'm sorry, but i searched as much as i could and all i could find was a few tilt users complaining about hearing their own voice.
I noticed it when I hard reset my phone yesterday, but it went away after the first soft reset... Running AT&T Stock WM6, I thought it was just me
Yes, I have this too on my 2 day old Tilt! Was thinking about returning the phone because of it!
I find it really annoying and disconcerting.
I'm glad I am not the only one. I'm about to flash to the HTC TYTN II shipping ROM.
Will let you know if this fixes it!
yep I get and echo sound some times.
Also had it on my wizard.
I am running Alex Ultra clean v4
Sorry, would you mind clarifying...
Is it a hardware problem? Does everyone have this or do you think some devices are faulty.
I really do not like this issue.
Thanks for your info.
same here..
when i first got mine a couple months ago i could hear my self in the speaker, its either gone now, or i dont notice it any more .

Hi all,
I have just upgraded to the official WM6.1 release. First everything was working fine, but after a little while phone began to dial numbers like crazy and the device became unresponsive.
Any thoughts?
Has anyone else experienced the same?
Many thanks,
Chris
If I understand your symptons, I think I had the very same problem some time ago.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=384791
I only fixed it by getting a replacement. Later, it turned out that my photo button was 'broken'.
Check all your buttons, maybe the problem is situated there. Maybe not...

I think there were other reports of this in one of the two main threads on the official release. Have you installed any other keyboards/SIPs?
I wouldn't blame this on hardware yet, especially if you don't have the problem with other ROMS.
Gents, I also flased the new official rom but have had a number of occassions where the device has stopped responding. Soft reset is the only thing that resolves. Sometimes it freezes, as if it is 'hanging', then suddenly works again. Not sure why. Tried a hard reset but still have same problems. Thinking bout flashing back to the WM 6 rom. Any thoughts?

I would flash back to the WM6.1 ROM.
Hard reset before customization. aka At the screen where is says "tap the screen to begin to setup your device."
If that still doesn't work then after you are done with the customization flash the 1.65.16.25 radio and see if that works.
skype and tcpmp dont work. lots of freezes and lots of error reports wanting to be sent to microsoft. the most adventurous firmware uograde that i have ever experienced and it ate up the whole of my sunday and it is yet to eat up more of my time.
very irresponsible of htc to release something as unripe as this. i doubtv anything got tested before the release.

An application not working is not HTC's fault. This is an OS upgrade and vendors need to upgrade their apps. I don't believe I have found an official/leaked 6.1 ROM that DOES run Skype....only cooked versions.

Hi,
I installed some other keyboard some time ago. But that was before flashing to this new upgrade. I suppose that they will be gone when doing so.
The thing is that it is working fine for some time, about 10 minutes after i flashed to this new upgrade and it begins to dial numbers.
If I do a soft reset the problem begins when I press any key.
Many thanks for any help!
where do you get offical 6.1?
where do you get the offical wm 6.1?
i go to the HTC website and log into the E-club click phone software updates and nothing happens....

I had exact same issues, the device dialed all kinds of numbers, alphabets, etc and would not respond for about 5-7 seconds at random times.
I hear someone got that issue fixed by changing SPL and/or chaning Page Pool size to 16MB.
I hope someone can confirm that and make that a sticky before I revert back to this ROM, I am using 3.02 now.

Didn't change the SPL but changed to 16MB pagepool. The intermittent sluggishness is cured about 90%. Wish there was way to fix this 100%

This is the same issue I had. The freeze ups were driving me crazy. I got rid of it and am very happy camper again.
Beware changing SPL...
The file on rapidshare, SSPL-KAIS.exe may be infected with a virus. Trend identified it containing the PAK_Generic.005 virus/malware. Your mileage may vary...

i am aware of that. but somehow very popular 3rd party software just should be taken into consideration, not to annoy most of the updaters.
apart from the random unresponsivenesses, crashes and freezes, what i find pretty unacceptable, is that you cannot restore a backup from the old system although i was given backup software from htc itself. and we are talking about an upgrade from 6.0 to 6.1. had they called it 7, i would have understood the incompatibility.
i am new to the windows mobile world, so i guess i need to keep shut and swallow what is being offered as i dont have any other choice yet.
but the future is looking bright and we will look back at these occasions and have a laugh when sometime soon everything will be functioning seamlessly with the linux based android and palm operating systems. i heard that nokia too wants to join the fun. lets see.
for now, i will need to revert back to 6.0
Hi all, new to this. Was just wondering if anyone else is getting the same problems as me with HTC Touch HD and the Opera browser?
Basically after using for maybe 5 mins Opera either hangs or just shuts itself down, even losing favourites this morning! Have tried hard reset and still get the same problems. Have also installed the HTC update which improved response times. The idea of using Opera is very nice but completely unusable for me at the moment. Will stick IE for the time being, and hopefully someone out there can point me in the right direction to solve this issue? Any help would be much appreciated )
All problem found for TouchHD about OPERA was only this:

http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=HTC_Blackstone_Tweaks
so, are you using a custom ROM now?
- Then please post this question in the apropriate ROM thread
are you using an original ROM now?
- Then what apps have you installed?
- Try reflash
Hope this help,.
I've never had this kind of trouble at all. As asked above, what ROM and apps have you got?
Hi sorry for the late response, out all day. I am using the original rom that came with the phone, only had it a week. It does this even after a complete hard reset without any additional apps having been installed. Will probably have to hard spl but didn't want to so quickly, and would like to try to get to the bottom of this in case it happens to others. Tx LEWY.

You could try and contact HTC directly. If that gives nothing, a new ROM is in order!
Problem solved. Hard spl, flashed new radio, now using black pearl rom v.1.2. Opera now works as it was meant to.

Hello. Yesterday I want to use my TC and it was off. Tried turning it on- nothing. When I plug it in to charge the orange light stays on for a second and then goes off. When its plugged in and I take the battery out, then stick it right back in the "smart mobility" screen pops up, it vibrates, then it goes blank again. Tried a hard reset and still nothing. Please help me. What´s wrong?
No injuries to my device.........
Thank you......
How old is the device? Did you flash a new ROM or something? Might be a battery problem. Try with a spare battery or something. Borrow one from a friend if possible.
The device is quite new, I think I bought it in april 2008. I flashed the new ROM from official htc web site in september.
I will try another battery.
Thank you

Hmmm....you flashed a new ROM from the official HTC website? Did your phone ever work since then? You might have tried to install WM 6.1 which isn't meant for the polaris since it ships with WM 6. Maybe that's what's gone wrong?
The phone worked with this upgrade very well.

6.1 was officially released for polaris i do belive, so this wont be the problem.
marekswan - have u tried leaving the battery out for half an hour or more, then put it back in and leave for min 3 hours.
Heavy usage does create problems for our polaris barrery, have u noticed it getting warm on heavy use (constant gps use for example)
If that doesnt work, and its in guarantee, take it back as they can test battery for fault and give u a replacement. I had a faulty battery after about 6 months and got a new one.
Just a thought, had u installed any new programs or flashed a rom? (soz cant remember ur sig whilst writing.)
