Problems with official wm6.1 release

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.

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 went to att website and cant find anything im actually talking to an ATT rep now but its prty obvious they have no idea what i am talking about as the girl responded with youll need to plug it into a Microsoft computer,

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 fashed the HardASPL that came with the rom but still same result.

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

Curious problem of memory/file system errors

I have a htc fuze. I seem to be running into a wierd problem of filesystem corruption after a few days. I am curious If anyone else is having the problem. The phone today decided to erase the system folder under windows. Prior to that is was erasing the prog files folder under the root directory. The only difference in where it is deleting files seems to be by what radio I have installed. I used the have the test radio 1.12 but switched to an older radio hoping to fix the problem. I have tried reflashing multiple times but the phone works for a few days and the corruption issue strikes.
Wondering if anyone has encountered this problem before, how did you fix it?
Thanks
ROM Energery ROM 2.0 build 32609
Radio 1.08

I've been experiencing similar problems, after a day or so of use it starts acting up, files not there anymore then after a soft reset it locks up then goes through like I've hard reset it. This usually occurred after being on charge overnight.
I've been using many several cooked roms and the AT&T radio 1.12.25.19 as it has working agps, good battery life etc..
My phone is hard SPL'd, unlocked and supercid, I thought it was a program or tweaks i was using but I tried them with only exchange sync added for my email etc. which I need, and i was still getting the problem.
I've just gone back to my default carrier rom (vodafone UK) still with the same radio and so far so good, but obviously I'd like the speed and improvements of the cooked roms.
Its interesting you have associated the problem with the radio as I have stuck with the same one although I had reflashed it just in case I had a bad flash. I even went to the extent of reflashing hardSPL just incase but had the same results.
I'd been interested to hear if anyone was having similar problems, or is it just we have phones with duff phone memory?
Thanks,
G

Same thing... Every 6.5 ROM does it to me... I can only use the phone for about a day before everything but the Windows folder corrupts (not the Storage Card) and when I SR, the phone hangs during bootup.
My problem is now that any ROM (stock, 6.1, or 6.5) will corrupt the file system after a day. I must admit that this particular phone is a bit suspect. My original Fuze worked fine until the digitizer stopped working. The replacement refurb phone never could get security unlocked (only HardSPL) and has been tempermental to say the least.
XBM won't work this time as it will work for a period of time before it fails/locks up...

Well after flashing back to stock everything except the spl then re-flashing with with a cooked rom and radio everything seems stable so far, it usually dies overnight and its still going fine.
I know with earlier HTC it was always recommended to flash back to a stock rom before a new cooked rom, it didn't always do this on my previous devices and never had a problem.
I guess if it continues being ok, it might be a possible solution for others with similar problem.

Could use suggestions on an issue

I recently flashed to Shav3d on my wing camera worked 1 time then neither the button or shortcuts would work thinking some how i might have corrupted a file or the rom just didn't like me i went over to numb3rs .. still no camera so i jumped back to shav3d again at this time i still have no camera and was wondering if anyone had had this particuler problem and if so if you might be able to reccommend a fix. Thanks ahead of time for your advice and input.

have you tried anybody elses WM6.5 Roms? All the ones listed were made by Ace who isn't doing any updates (Atleast i don't believe he is) but i don't think anyone else had those problems with his ROMs

Good point i'll try another this evening. Open to suggestions on which. didn't figure was a common. Problem as didn't see mention of anthing about it posted. Thanks for the respond.

they are all good... really just depends what you want M2D or titanium or niether.

Yea, that's weird. I would hazard to guess that the phone's hardware is having a problem somewhere. I don't have that problem at all.
As to updates to my ROM's, well, if these TP2 people would stop freakin releasing soooo many ROM's, then I could work on mine! I'm trying to tweak up the visuals, and fix some minor bugs. But there's nothing that really needs a major update, just some very minor things.
But there's millions of ROM's out there now. You can try everything. It's impossible to say which is good now.

Thanks guys ill keep chasing the issue except for that one minor matter i love your ROM's Ace so keep it up

I'm still a noob, but whenever I've done something or tried a ROM that jacked up my wing, I revert back to stock ROM, and try again from scratch. I know it's probobly a long way about the problem, but it works for me. lol! like I said, still a noob. lol.

Sorry to have to resurrect this thread. I'd really like to stick with the numb3rs ROM, there has to be a way to fix the camera; I'm hoping someone knows how.
I also noticed the home screen & tmail randomly crashes when I open a message & it halts on "loading". grr.
Unless anyone knows of a cleaner ROM with a similar UI?

Check to make sure your SD Card is working properly?

talk and end buttons stop working

this problem has been bugging the heck out of me. I only noticed it once I flashed custom ROMs. I may go back to the ATT rom or chadsters stripped ATT rom if need be.
it happened on all versions of EnergyROM I have used over the last few months and on hergs new wm6.5 rom as well.
my talk and end buttons just seem to stop working sometimes and act as the home and back buttons respectively when they fail. Sometimes even the back and home buttons stop responding and the whole area aside from the dpad is useless. This only happens after a while and a soft reset temporarily fixes the issue...until something triggers them to stop working again.
this is causing me extreme frustration with my Fuze that I otherwise love...
is anyone else having this issue? is there a fix? if not, I will try just moving back to a stock ROM and see if it happens.

Yes, I have the exact same problem on the same roms.
Turning the screen off and on again seems to fix it for me.

I am using the stock ROM and have this issue.

same problem
i have same problem..yesterday i flash new EnergyRom Genesis and 1.14.25.05 radio..and all my buttons except hw keyboard stop working (volume up,down,back,home,answer call,end call button stop working)..so i falshed back older EnergyRom and its still not working (older EnergRom was ok, everything worked fine for me), some people have same problem and solve it by flashing back stock rom, but i tried so many original stock rom and cooked rom with combination with many radio and soft resets and hardresets..and its still not working...i dont have warranty now-so i dont know what to do...but iam sure-that it is software problem..but dont know what to do..please help me..

I had the same problem, twice. I don't know if it is EnergyROM that causes this or that its just because so many people flash EnergyROM that they notice it and think it is what causes it.
My first time also started shortly after flashing my first EnergyROM, when my FUZE was about 5 months old. No matter what I tried flashing, hard resetting, anything I couldn't fix it. So I reverted it to stock and had AT&T replace it. The second time this happened was also about 4 months after I got my replacement. I was also running EnergyROM, but I had been running the same ROM and hadn't flashed for over 2 months when it started again. Once again, I had to get it replaced under warranty.
I assume this problem isn't very widespread and don't know if it is a hardware fault or if flashing ROMs someway changes something that isn't always changed when flashing ROMs. This may even be an AT&T specific issue. I would recommend just calling and having it replaced, everyone who bought it new still has warranty, and hopefully if you bought it refurbished it isn't over 3 months old.
Since I have had this issue twice and they sent me DOA replacements 2 times, they offered to give me another phone last time I asked for a replacement. They offered the Epix and the Incite, which I declined and took another FUZE instead. I told them to note it on my account. I am going to try getting my FUZE replaced with a Touch Pro 2 once that is at least 1 month old.

thanks very much for your reply...iam from czech republic..every from my last five WM phones i bought in czech republic was new from T-Mobile..but i lost my first touch pro (it cost me 600euro)..so i decided to buy second touch pro in england, when i was there on holiday (prize only 200euro- but second hand)..now iam back in czech republic, buttons on my touch pro dont work and i dont have warranty i loved energy rom..but i think, that it is reason, why my touch pro dont work

I have the same problem with my Fuze (using NATF 4.5 ROM). I don't think it's a software issue. I think it's a malfunction of the capacitive touch sensor (NAV sensor) that controls the entire bottom panel of the phone (HOME/BACK/TALK/END and Smart Touch wheel). Search for a tool called navdbgtool.exe. It lets you see what inputs are registered by the panel (e.g. where it detects a touch or which buttons are pressed). Mine sometimes works fine but randomly malfunctions (zoom functionality is broken, buttons do not perform the proper commands).

Same here!
I only have flashed Shep's and Timolol's ROM.

what is wrong?
i'v seen somewhere on forum for blackstone, that hard spl can cause weird problems like that, maybe touch pro needs 'bios' update?
it's just a thought, as i've got same problem... really annoying ####!

I have the same problem!!!! I thinked that was a hardware problem but now that I have read all your post I think is a software problem, because I'm using ENERGYROM with sense 2.5 and zoom function is broken and I have the same problems with all keys......I don't now waht to do.....Any ROM fix this problem??? I open a new post, please check:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=596314

Glad to know that others are having similar problems. Just flashed to the latest version of the EnergyROM and having trouble with the Talk key.
A soft-reset seems to fix it for awhile, then it randomly stops working. Haven't had time yet to either hard-reset or flash back to the previous version. Will try that when I get time.
I do suspect it is a software issue. The key press is registered, something is making it do something else. So the solution for me is using Tarkim's Keyboard Config, having it map that key to Talk. Works like a charm!

Okay, finally had a chance to do a hard-reset. The buttons now work like a charm and overall, things work much faster. Not sure what the deal was, originally went through the proper steps to flash, including a hard-reset afterward...

I'm glad that you solved your problem....but please where I can get the Tarkim's Keyboard Config?? I did a hard reset and nothing happened!!! Thanks for your help.

Sorry, didn't have the link handy at the time. Here's the thread about it: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=521786

to resolve my issue on this thread...
I took my phone in for warranty replacement due to this issue. I got a new phone, flashed the ROM I was having issue with at the time and have not had a problem since on any ROMs

I have the latest "stock" rom installed and I am having the same problem. Hard reset or soft rest doesn't permanently fix my problem. Also my navigation "wheel" in the middle will sometimes go bizerk while typing texts, in the form of zooming all the way out and zooming all the way in...very fast. Never understood that button. I don't use the bloatware. Seems like a hardware problem to me?
Another feature that has stopped working as of lately was is the selecting of multiple email msgs with one finger swipe... I have to use the shift button to select multiple msgs.
Seems that HTC has stopped supporting the fuze, as there is no support on their website?

[Q] T-Mobile HD2 - Hard Reset/Radio/Rom problem

Alright, I seem to be in a mess. I really did try searching all over the forums for the problem(s) I have, some luck here and there but I believe my problem is a tiny bit unique. (I hope this is the right section)
I was always on rom 2.10.531.1 (the one I got from T-mobile in April). A couple of days ago, I decided to upgrade using "T-Mobile_HD2_MR_Software_2.13.531.1" Which obviously takes me to rom 2.13.531.1.
At this point, my bluetooth stopped working, I figured out it was the radio version which also changed. I used to be on 2.08.50.08_2.
So, I decided to change to Maxsense rom Miri_Steve0007_EleganciaMaxSense_V5.0_FINAL_NoHTCMessaging Before doing this I used SPB backup, once I upgraded the ROM to Maxsense then restored my files, I realized SPB backup wasn't recommended so it screwed up Maxsense + my bluetooth was still not working...
Okay, so I'm basically trying to go back to HTC HD2, the way I got it, so I can use a different backup tool like UC or SASHIMI and at the sametime hopefully fix the bluetooth issue + hopefully start using MAX sense...
Thanks for reading and hopefully somebody can get me out of my dilemma...

Did you get it sorted?
