Gang,
I just got my VOX back from HTC service in the US - it stopped reading my microSD...
The phoen now will now shut off its display - I set the backlight for timout=15 sec and display timout =30 secs - nothign happens. TomTom, that used to run just fine will nto start and lock the phone up and there are other weird issues.
The phone displays the ROM as 1.15.405.2
Q1 - are there any updates that I can try?
Q2 - anybody run into the display timout issues and has a fix?
Q3 - nybody got the black HTC home screen from the S730 - I know we all wish for that

Hello guys,
I've just received my TC and couldn't wait to set it up and install all applications I need.
During this procedure I recognized that the screen flickers whenever there is activity on screen.
Doesn't matter if the device is looking for WLAN or GSM Network, filling up a progressbar during restore of my SMS Messages with PPC PIM Backup or just navigating around in TomTom.
Found out that flickering stops if I hide the progress-bar filling application by opening the Programs-tab in startmenu and if the device is idle and nothing happens on screen (no animation or screen change) it wouldn't flicker at all.
This flicker-thing is quite annoying. Anyone else got that?
Maybe it is an effect of the video-driver problem. Don't know.
Maybe the device is just "broken" in some way and I have to return it to my dealer.
EDIT: Just saw that the screen even flickers slightly when the cursor is blinking in the SMS-Editor
Never seen this problem on my TC. Had it for nearly 2 months. I would return it and get a new one.
OK, now I'm quite sure that it is a device error.
Woke up this morning and the flicker-effect has gone.
The I "navigated" to work (just for fun). And when I arrived (50 Minutes est.) the flicker was back again. Seems to happen when the device works hard for a couple of minutes.
Anyway, I'll stop investigation and send it back to the dealer.
BTW: Thanks for the comment !
Hello there, Quick question.
I recently upgraded TomTom Navigator 7 on my SE XPERIA X1 from version 7.450.9028 to version 7.910.9185 mainly for the fixes for a WVGA screen e.g. larger buttons and text.
However, I have found that the phone always seems to freeze when using TTN7. I never found this with the previous version however, the improvements are too improved to revert back to the old version.
Is this problem caused by the application or the phone as the screen becomes unresponsive when freezing (e.g. it doesn't vibrate on tap) giving the idea that the phone's memory is full when running the application and causing the phone to slow down.
Cheers,
Hyped
I have been experiencing the same issue on my Xperia X1 that you've had Hyped. I am actually running version 7.915.9196. Basically, TomTom will be fine UNTIL it gets a GPS fix. Once that has happened, it is only a matter of 1-2 mins before the whole phone locks up, requiring a battery cover removal + reset button fix.
I also don't want to revert to the previous version, but I'm thinking it may have to come to this I have the ATI D3D driver installed from the Diamond, and I'm planning on removing it to test, but I don't think TomTom calls D3D at all (in fact, im 99% sure), so I doubt this will fix the issue.
Looking for more insight from anyone else, or if there's a newer version of TT7 that we're missing out on.
Mine is touch and go, When it hasn't got a GPS fix, it'll freeze at random moments e.g. when the keyboard is up.
I tried it yesterday in the car and experienced the same problem as you, as soon as it got a GPS fix it froze up and required a soft reset.
Just wondering if anyone has encoutered a problem with the screen turning itself off. It is not a settings issue but the screen randomly turns itself off in the middle of being used so i am guessing it mght be something to do with the light sensor perhaps?
Well if anyone else has the same problem or can offer some sort of explanation i would be very interested to hear about it.
Thanks in advance
i think this might be related to autolock. if you have that enabled, disable the screen dimming and let it turn off after say 2 minutes. then you should be ok.

I've had a similar issue recently - suddenly the screen started to switch off after 30 seconds without use, no matter what settings I configured in the energy system settings. No explanation, probably a bug in the 6.1 stock ROM. (I'm on another ROM now...)

Ditto.
Own ROM 6.1 (nothing special - really just Google maps and teeter removed)
Apps:
4 Column Start Menu.cab
FdcSoft TaskMgr 3.1.cab
GoogleMaps.CAB
GpsCycleComputer_3.114.CAB
htcAddicts cleanRAM v1.6.cab
MobileTweet.CAB
NETCFv35.cab
NetworkPlugin_1_0_30468_1.CAB
PocketShield.CAB
rar.ppc_arm.cab
SoftReset_Suspend.CAB
same here. tried some reg tweaks but none disabled poweroff after 30 seconds
it happens to me every time after i use igo8,
so my solution is to go to the MANILA power setting (not the default windows setting) and turn DIM off.
cannot find manila power settings. where are they?

i have Tom's 6.5 rom so when i goto regular settings it takes me to manila style setting & not the default one.
I have that problem to ?
I have a 6.1 windows, what can I do to deal with this problem ?
Thankx
in power settings enable & disable dim it will fix this but only till next time... i do it after every time i use igo8.
this is especially annoying when using the topaz as hard disk or navigating via tomtom. hope they will bring out a fix soon.
Think my problem was slightly similar as I was using the original shipped ROM. Well phone is with HTC now in for screen repair so hopefully the problem will be solved.
I'm guessing it was probably down to an install of some 3rd party application. anyway will repost after i get my td2 back tomorrow

Hi, Got my phone back recently with this from HTC.
Problem Description: 1. Touch Panel Function abnormality
Repair Description: 1. Diagnosis
2. Replace SUB ASSY, Bezel w/touch window pre-Assy
3. Function Test
All working ok so far!
Hello everyone
I have a problem with my touch pro.
when I get a text message(sms) sometimes only the light around navigation control shows that I have a new message but the new text message sound wont play and when I press the power button(even after an hour) in order to turn on the lcd at this time the new message sound play, therefor I cannot answer a new message on time.
I have had my touch pro for 14 months and I have had this problem for 2-3 months.I checked sound & notifications and every thing is ok.
I changed the Rom to a new version but still I have the same problem.
Previous rom was : 1.90.456.3 WWE
New Rom is : 2.01.415.3 WWE
What should I do? It bothers me a lot.
thank you very much in advance.
I get this too now and then and also with e-mails. As i don't use stock ROMs i didn't worry too much but it is annoying as it doesn't even vibrate too.
However, recently I have been using windows mobile 6.5.1 default today screen rather than the HTC touch flow (manilla) today screen and I have not had this problem yet. So possibly it could be manilla which causes this problem.
Is anyone else having this problem?
yeah, same here. disabled touch flo and bam - sound everywhere lol
help meeeeeeee,
I still have the same problem !!!
0. Specs
My Samsung Galaxy S6 G920F 128GB keeps crashing.
N.B.: This is also a bit of rant....
The device is unlocked and was flashed just after it was bought with the BTU firmware for minimal bloatware and crapware, and of course that B(r)itish Humor Since then it was updated several times OTA. It's running 5.1.1 right now.
OffTopic: Seriously Word, Exel, Powerpoint, OneNote, OneDrive. I didn't want any other apps on my phone... ESPECIALLY AFTER AN UPDATE ! ! ! In any case WTF SAMSUNG?
1. Symptoms
- Nature of crashes:
1.1 - Screen freeze
1.1.1 - If music is playing on internal speakers the device will emit a "noise loop", does also happen with headphones.
1.1.2 - After a freeze the device will:
1.1.3 - only restart if a soft reset is performed (DOWN and POWER pressed for 7 seconds)
1.1.4 - reboot
1.2 - Reset immediately without rebooting to lock-screen
1.3 - The device also freezes in Safe Mode (DOWN while booting)
1.4 ! - The device also freezes sometimes while charging and powered of: The LED is red and it does not react to POWER or HOME
1.5 ! - The device also freezes while on recovery menu (HOME and UP at boot)
1.5.1 - It even froze when factory resetting; I then did a soft reset and it rebooted with that blue screen with the Android; after a few seconds it added "Erasing...."; it rebooted successfully into ANDROID with lock-screen....
1.6 - If the device is charging a reboot will not be initiated; it's only powered off
1.7 - The phone also powers off sometimes
1.8 - Crashes at random intervals
1.8.1 - Some just after booting and before any SIM-PIN entry is possible
1.8.2 - Some take place after a few minutes of usage
1.8.3 - Very rarely does the device function longer than half an hour without a crash
2. Already tried (unsuccessful in eliminating crashes:
2.1 - Reset of cache (several times)
2.2 - Factory reset/Data wipe (several times)
2.2.1 - From recovery menu
2.2.2 - From settings
3. Other Symptoms:
3.1 - The device will not display "Starting Android Apps, or whatever it says..." on startup
3.2 - Sometimes it emits a disturbing crackling noise right after the lock screen; actually I kind of like it now, it gives you a nice warm feeling just like the old tube TV had that crackling noise...
3.3 - I think it has a shorter battery life for the last week or so, I might be wrong, or it might be due to normal usage
3.4 - It gets quite hot while fast charging, especially the OEM-MICRO-USB-TYPE-B-CONNECTOR gets very hot, so hot you would burn yourself if holding for a sufficient amount of time (probably more than a minute or two), I'm not sure if this is related to the original issue
As with capitalism one thing is sure: The next crash will come. While writing this( using the auto save feature) the device restarted more than a dozen times. The device goes from not usable at all to annoyingly usable.....
4. What might cause it:
4.1 - Something in CACHE or RAM or TEMP (temporary files on the file system) is not deleted as it should be.
4.1.1 - The other day I read that there is an issue with ENCRYPTION as the device will boot WITHOUT PASS CODE if it has crashed or shutdown due to lack of battery, maybe the issue is the same?
4.2 - Hardware defect:
-Maybe but: I had the issue a few months ago and a factory reset resolved it, but why not now?
4.3 - Maybe I'm using too much internal storage?
- Apple Music had ~30 GB and
- Videos ~40GB most ~100MB
- Music ~ 3GB
4.3.1 - Just some crazy thought: Does ANDROID have TRIM? If not might I have not left any free pages for it to write to?
5. What can be done:
5.1 - Continue using the phone
5.2 - Bring it back to shop (the phone came with a contract for two years) and try to get a new one, but how am I going to reproduce random crashes?
5.3 - Eventually buy an iPhone
- I'm actually not joking on this one; I will. But how will I put music on it, just how, how???
Thanks for reading. Do you have any suggestions?
Hi did you ever find a solution for this? I am experiencing the same thing, I even sent it to Samsung via RMA, but they could not find anything wrong. I got it back and it continues to freeze and restart.
Nah I returned it (to my carrier) while it was freezing and got a new one after two days.
Try to make a video so that no can argue that the unit is not broken or even better: Show it broken/freezing/restarting for no reason to the retailer where you have bought the phone.
Also depending on your jurisdiction you might have the right to a flawless product within a certain time frame i.e. EU: 2 years, AUS: 3 years.... besides the manufracturer warrenty!
Anyways good luck.
