TYTN II sticking after phone call

Hi!
I have a problem and I don't know how to solve it. i noticed that when i am caaling with my phone for a bit longer - so long that my screen turns of, after I finish my call The uper part just freezes - I mean that I cant open the start menu, I cant click any of the icons in the upper right corner except the task manager and also the screen doesn't lit up as in active mode.
Can someone help me? I have noticed in other forums that this is happening to them also.
Thanks for your help, Joze M.

It's most likely software, maybe something you installed or a registry change.

Strange problem, is it just me??? [Update: Found what causes it!]

Hi,
I have this strange problem on my device...here's the description of the bug -
- When i have a phone call active, the start button goes dead...I cant click on the start button Even if i press the Win key, the start menu doesnt roll out.
- however, the close button and the volume icons are active
- when i try to tap and hold on the clock (to change between analog and digital), i get the circle of dots, but at the end i dont get the menu options for switching between the two modes.
- when i end the call, the start button is still disabled. If i have to re-enable it, I need to press the POWER button to turn off my device and turn it back ON, then it gets active again. However, this works only after i end the active call.
This started to happen ever since i installed one of the roms/radio roms (which i dont remember) and now, it happens on any ROM that i flash it with
I have no clue as to whats broken and this seriously gets on my nerves
Any suggestions or ideas?
thanks!
San

Damn, i take it that noone has had this problem.....anyone any suggestions which may help fix it?!

Did you try a DOC format?
It may help...

Hey Ranju!!!
Thanks for your response! How do i do a DOC level format???
Thanks so much for responding!
San
On a side note, your v6 rom is just amazing! I love it for its great stability on my device, and not to mention the perfect balance in terms of applications it comes with etc.!

Hi Dreamtheater,
Enter BootLoader, connect to pc with USB, load, MTTY and type "Task 28 55aa" this will restore DOC to original state.
You will loose all info on your device so back-up first.

Before you try the DOC format, try re-flashing the radio only rom. If you are using v 1.18 or 1.17, try 1.15 which is more stable.

I was running on R1.15...now i'm trying 1.17!
You suspect the problem to be with the radio? I guessed as much too...but it seemed like it happened two different radios and all the OS roms. Maybe something was screwed at DOC level, hopefully the doc format should work....
thanks!
San

Still no luck
I formatted the DOC and reinstalled everything, and it still fails...
All i need to do is, dial a number, shut the lid, re-open it and then try to click on the start button, doesnt respond
Everything below is functional.....
Sad :-(((
Why me??!

still no luck
@beasty, ranju
Any other suggestions? This is such a wierd problem. Is there something like a format of radio section on the device?

This is a very typical problem, I've no solid answer.
But lets try...
1. Run the CID unlock tool
2. Unplug the battery and plugin back after a few minutes
3. Start the device in BL
4. Flash the Radio 1.09, an original OS rom (i.e. from O2) and an empty extrom
5. Hard reset, screen align etc. (do not install anything)
6. Check the device status ....
Are you having the same problem?

thanks ranju,
let me give this a spin now....i'll post back after i try it. one thing though, when i tried a wm5 based rom, this issue didnt turn up.
one thing though....i actually cooked my own rom using a wm5 rom base and replaced the phone and outlook apps from wm6 and tried to run it. the phone module never powered on, and nothing worked....and went back to a wm6 rom after which. i'm not too sure if this has triggered these problems or a bad wm6 rom which i've flashed (i remember mo3ulla's rom which never worked for me and fubared my device completely....this could also be the cause....)
either ways, still hunting for a possible fix, and thanks so much for helping out! will post back bro....

Hi San,
If you have a history file in the root of your device can you post it for us please?
If not do you have access to Visual Studio and Platform Builder so that you can get a KITL output of this in action, then post the KITL for us?
Also, are you running any taskamanagers or additional apps?
Does the issue occur straight after a clean flash of a Vanilla Rom?
Cheers,
Beasty

@beasty
Here's history.txt attached....
I have visual studio, but i dont have platform builder....so i'm afraid thats not possible. If you could point me as to where i can get it, I could give it a shot.
Right now i'm going to radio 1.09, and checking if its a radio incompatibility issue...doubt it though.....
San

Oh dudes! I guess i figured out what's causing the problem, though i have no idea how to fix this!!!!!!
All this has started when my exchange service provider has migrated to exchange 2007 which makes it mandatory for me to have a password for my device. I have a 24 hr time out for the password, pretty much making the need for a password useless....
When i make a call and leave the lid open and continue to talk - no problems! the start button works as it should....
but the moment i close the lid and pull it open again, it seems like the display blanks and redraws (only happens if you have a password for your device), and thats when the start button gets disabled! Now, the only way out is to end the call, power off and then power on again......
This is confirmed, but how do i fix the problem? I should have a password, cant disable it.....and i always close the lid when i make a call! MS bug????
Thanks again ranju, beasty.....really appreciate it!
San

knock knock!

Who's there?
There are some known issues with password screen causing issues on some roms mate.
All I can suggest is dig through the forums to see if you can find a fix posted............I think J had a similar issue with one of his Roms and it was discussed in detail............
or flash to a different Rom and see if it is reproduceable.

TouchFlo3D conflicting with QuickMenu/SmallMenu

Anyone had any luck getting eithe of these working alongside TF3D?
The task switching doesn't work, most the time instead of taking you to the app you click on, it drops you into TF3D. Everything else works apart from this (the bit I use most). With TF3D turned off, it works fine.
I've using a trial of Wisbar Advance Lite for now, see if I get used to it's different way of doing it, but at leat it seems to work.
Anyone had any luck, or else just seeing the same behaviour?

I've got the same problem with Quickmenu v2.7 i could'nt switch between tasks either.
Also from the close apps menu there an items called "start" and you cannot close it that annoys me a bit to.
I don't use it for now untill i find a better app or newer version of Quickmenu.

Start.exe is I believe linked to TF3D, but even setting it to hide in QuickMenu didn't help, the same thing still happens. Still, nice to have confirmation it's not just me.
Wisbar Lite seems ok, but it would still be nice to have QuickMenu or SmallMenu back...

damn i love quickmenus hopefully someone gets it to work i want this phone once its out

has anyone tried it lately or have it working?

Start.exe is Manila and if you end this it restarts back your tfl3d.
I can confirm that sometimes some tasks are dropped right back to the touchflo3d screen but on a few occasions only. I have noticed that if you click on them longer, it finally restores the application.
I have since switched to wisbar advanced because of the other benefits and mainly fancy stuff not to mention to use some of TP's power it has a lot.

I had no problems hiding start.exe. Just make sure that after adding to the exclude list you select 'hide both' radio button (I hope I remember the terms correctly)

[ROM][WWE][Nov. 27, 09] Solace v4 Alpha - Energy Edition! (WM6.5 build 21864)

Hey guys,
As some of you might know, I've been working on Solace v4 for quite some
time now. Well, now I finally have a stable version with some bugs. The
thing is, I haven't had any time recently to go through the ROM and pick out
bugs, except for the few noticeable ones, so I've uploaded Solace v4 Alpha
for anyone who wants to test .
I will be creating a new thread with more information when the stable, non-alpha version comes out.
For now I'll tell you that it is Windows Mobile 6.5 with Manila 2D and just the basic programs. Screenshots can be found here.
Thanks guys!
Please note that some bugs are: Manila 2D Sounds page isn't working, PTT button is not linked correctly, and SRS WOW HD is not configured correctly
Download:
http://www.multiupload.com/6GR1QZ8TM4

Keep up the good work,looks very nice,I enjoyed a lot Solace 3.1...I hope you will finish soon this ROM...

Perfect timing, I have my favorite " stable " roms ( one of which was 3.1 ) to use during the business week , but love to try new roms over the weekend. Will flash and let you know if I find anything. Thanks for the hard work.

Damm,
was checking your site some while to find out when Solance v4 (Alpha) would be released..
now this is it, dl now.
thanks

Fantastic!
Seems like years since 3.1.........
On the download now.

I´m testing yout ROM

It's like centuries passed since v3.1
Looks promising. Images are interesting and it seems to be another "professional" ROM for everyday work. Maybe this will be the reason for me to not trying to cook again
DL now and testing in some moment. (Have no free time to flash and test and flash and test and cook and flash...)
Thanks, mbarvian !!!

Have had it on for a few hrs now and it really looks nice. AE Button took care of assigning button 6 to comm manager and Weather4me. Still trying to get WKtask to play nice with 6.5 , Excluding shell32.exe doesn't seem to be working.
Also the screen seems to be very insensitive to taps and touches. Tried increasing sensitivity with Kaiser Tweaks but still requires multiple taps and a really firm touch to open things sometimes. The taskbar works great as does the M2D slider with a light tap, it just seems to be the main screen. But I am still tweaking the setup, so I am not prepared to blame the rom for this.
Other than that everything seems to be working great.

Glitches so far
Hey Mbarvian
Been running a few hours now and a couple of things I've noticed.
SMS - not working. Sent messages remain unread. I don't know if they are sending, but I'm getting no replies (and I am very popular so there must be a fault!)
On startup 'messaging' is displayed in the taskbar where 'start' would normally be. Don't know if this is related to the above
The M2D music tab doesn't seem to function - it hangs on searching but doesn't find my music. The 'library' soft key doesn't work and the options under menu don't turn on shuffle or repeat or go to audio booster.
Power button/Backlight issue - It's been a while since I've had this issue on a ROM, but when I press the power button to bring the phone out of sleep the screen flashes on but then returns to sleep - I have to press again. As I'm sure you know this problem was around a while, but solved in the end - I don't know how!
I've installed and run lots of applications with no problems, but TomTom 7 refuses to install - it hangs after I select the install location. This happens whether I select device or storage card.
Voicemail number doesn't configure in the dialer (just being picky now)
Red end button doesnt return to M2D home when pressed (I know you are a perfectionist!)
Volume control isn't available under notifications - had to install 'setvolume' and map.
That's it for now! - I'll have to reflash to another ROM until there is a fix for SMS bug as need this working. Be waiting to flash back after though.
I flashed stock ROM and radio before flashing - radio updated to the same as my signature.

hey man, nice to see u got ur alpha booting again... Im sure its much more improved than the one i tried out
if i get the time, i might give it a test, but no promises
keep up the good work and hope u accomplish ur goal of perfection

Another Solace Rom
Will try it out later today

Well been using for almost a day now, I can confirm all that brandall has pointed out, except I am not getting the double push to wake up bug.
I too flashed stock before flashing and unfortunately SMS is a biggee for me also, my kids seem unable to ever dial a phone, so SMS is the only way they communicate with me. Because of course walking from room to room in the house is too much of an effort when you can just text from the bedroom to the kitchen. But off-topic
Will need to switch for now but will be back when sms is fixed to explore further and again, thanks much for the effort, all the chefs put in a lot of time and it is appreciated.

little review
As everyone was saying the text messages don´t work for me either. This isn´t a big deal for me because I don´t text much anyway. I can confirm that everything brandall reported doesn´t work for me either including the double power button push. I had the same issue with Solace 3.1 ever since I started using it so I kinda got used to it already.
However, I was unable to start the camera or bluetooth.
Please someone confirm that this isn´t just my fault.
Before flashing v4 alpha I flashed Kaiser_HTC_ASIA_HK_WWE_3.34.721.2.
Still love this ROM and will use it untill the final v4 is out :-D

...ohh...very big problem is SMS all day I´m waiting for my test sms...unfortunately sms still doesn´t arrived thereby this ROM is for me unusable
and I agree with brandall
So I respect your hard work.

Wow guys sorry for putting out a version with so many bugs. Ill try and fix them but some of them like the power button issue I have no clue on. If any chefs would like the share some solutions to these problems, please don't hesitate to speak up
Thanks for the feedback though

I'm always interested in your work, but reading SMS issue, I have to hold back for awhile. no offense, but SMS is primary for me.
One question, you mentioned WM 6.5 but the screen shot shows Start Menu & Setting look like WM6.1?
Seems the M2D you use is not latest with weather on Home screen. Is that by choice?

Hi,
I'm really excited about this, I put reply here so I can set the Thread Subscription and get all new replies to my inbox, do not know any other way of doing it other than writing a message.
I would love to test this one but unfortunately too busy at work now - can't wait for the full edition, I haven't used stayed with any other rom other than the solace 3.1 since I started to learn stuff from this site. so thanks !

Sorry for adding some more but found out that the sound control isn´t working In the Settings tab in Manila after clicking on the sounds icon, only blank menu pops up.
Also the battery indicator is showing only the decimal value like 100%, 90% 80% ... not showing the exact value so for example from 60% it jumps straight to 50%.
Opera browser 9.7 doesn´t even load, moreover it freezes the phone. However the Opera Mobile 10 Beta and also Opera Widgets work flawlessly.
The power button issue seems to be happening on more than just your ROMs and what I´ve found it´s Microsoft´s fault - here but the suggested cab doesn´t fix anything, at least not for me
The solution is simply holding the power button a little longer (which I cannot blame any chef for not doing this for me every time I need it ).
Mbarvian, please don´t take this in a bad way, I appreciate your work and since Solace 3.1 haven´t found anything better. Just trying to help...

I'm having the same errors as with v3 with sound, text/mms, random resets, browser doesn't function at all, sound icon still doesn't work, can't remap buttons, etc
I appreciate Mbarvian's efforts and when the Rom is ready I'll try to use it again but some of us can only wait so long, and unfortunately using a ROM where text msging doesn't work isn't possible.
I have the correct and updated SPL/radio as well.

There's really no need to apologise! We appreciate your efforts.
If you knock up an SMS fix I'll jump back on the ROM to further test - I need SMS working though due to the masses of girls that text me.... I wouldn't want to let them down...
Or maybe I made that up.
Look forward to your update!

[Finaly] auto disconnect GPRS!!

After searching the forums for so long I finaly found a program that disconnects Idle connections after x-time..
Even with location or auto weather/twitter/stocks turned on..
It's called CommMgrPro (CMP)..
How to:
1) Simply install the cab to your main memory.. and when promped Proces\Service ---> choose proces..
2) When asked to restart the device press yes..
3) after restart a popup apears.. (skizzo) install it to main memory..
4) when CMP asks if it should be integrated with manila say yes..
5) launch CMP from startmenu and press right softkey for menu and choose settings. Once your in settings press the profiles tab and press the right softkey (menu) choose profiles-->add
Name your profile & Description than press right softkey (menu) and hit save..
when asked to create a 24 hours time frame schedule press yess..
6) now you can go and edit your profile if you want.. I just left it the way it was..
7) Back in the settings menu choose the connections tab..
Where it says default: choose your GPRS connenction and check close Idle connections. (set the timer to whatever you like)
for example mine is:
Default: Vodafone live!
close Idle connection: 30 seconds..
8) Hit the left softkey (Close)
9) Back at the main screen you will see huge button (unknown!) Hit it!
when prompted just continue.. tap Profile and choose the profile you just created and choose no time limit..
10) tap left softkey (hide)
your done.. back at the homescreen in Manila in the top left corner you should see your profile name..
If everything is done well the connection should be terminated after x seconds..
And for me it works like a charm!!!
Also there is an other program made by the same dev named bandswitch..
Some people in this thread state that Bandswitch is more than enough to get it done So feel free to try it out..!!
You can find the files underneed...

Fantastic app, that's what I was looking for , thanks very much .

Hi there. I'm not an expert on this, but didn't WMLongLife already does the same things and even more? I know it's working fine on my HTC HD2, but I don't really have access to 3G where I'm living, so I can't tell if it's "really" working or not. Also, the installation process is much simpler and common...

and worst of all wmlonglife doesnt always work...

Thanks a lot for this man. Looks like it's working fine with many people. Thanks for your quick answer.

And you installed it on HD2? And it works?
I've tried to install, then I've soft reset.
When I go in Control Panel and execute GB-SOFT Tweak.
First of All I can't see correctly the "About" tab.
Second, after I set the timer, I can't close the app.
Any help?

Mmhh, after the second soft-reset (done by removing the cover and pressing the red button for reset) because my device locked up after using GB-SOFT Tweak, I've tried it again.
Now the app closes normally.
But I can't see it auto-disconnect after the time I've set (1 minute) for test.
Do you configured it in a particular manner?
Can you help me/us, please?

Weird...
wmLongLife never works for me [tested on my Cruise & then on my Leo].
Seems like I'll try those two cab on this post. =]

I think this app might take too much memory for the less usage we need :/
However I've installed it. The problem is that the applications main screen keeps on poping every 10 secondes when I'm using my phone. For me it's unusable. What am I missing ?

guys.. just check the first post for commMgr this one works for real..
I also noticed that the huge battery drain has been halted...
wmlonglife would be fine if it didnt have this much issues.. and also when I quickly want to look up for something it takes too long to switch from 2G to 3G.. sometimes it wont connect at all..
that's why I kept searching for something that didn't have these issues...

strange, but mine worked perfect directly..

The link from the first post is dead. I downloaded CMP directly from http://www.commmgrpro.com.
Installed like you said, set at 30 seconds and… it really works, finally indeed.
Thank you very much for your post.
