Hi. Bought mine a few weeks ago, after I installed a few sofwarez on it, i encountered a problem. The GSM network icon and the volume icon in the taskbar simply disappeared! Every now and then, I get HALF of the network icon back... Its annoying, since I travel a lot and sometimes I don;t have coverage, and don;t even know it. Any ideas that might help? Other than hard reset, that is....
what softwarez have you installed? do they have any icons that block the icons that are missing? why don't you try uninstalling some of the applications you have installed and see if it gets fixed rather than hard-resetting?
Hi. thanks for the reply.
Tried unistalling everything, the problem is still there. The only software I had that had icons in the toolbar was Spb GPRS monitor, and that is gone as well...
Do ou know of any software that would in any way enhance the toolbar? I'm thinking that if I install such a toolbar related utility, the software itself might force those icons to reappear...
I'm a noob who has been reading away for months, trying to learn as much as possible from the forums. This week I finally decided to try my hand at tinkering. I took my one-year old stock Kaiser and used JumpSoft to flash HardSPL v.3.29, then I upgraded to HTC ROM v3.28.405.0 (WM6.1) from their support website.
Since the "upgrade" I have been experiencing the following issues:
1. Occasional freezes (screen becomes unresponsive)
2. Some settings do not persist (e.g. backlight timeout, call display filter, etc)
3. The Weather Tab on the Today Screen can only retrieve the forcast when the device is connected to the PC or to a WiFi Network.
It seems as though the freezes can be fixed by installing the SPL that comes with the HTC ROM, but I have no idea how to extract it. Has anyone extracted it for us and posted it?
I haven't seen anyone else having problems with settings resetting themselves. Anyone have an idea on this one?
I have yet to find a clear fix for the weather problem...
Thanks in advance for all your help. This site continues to amaze me!
Well I guess it's not news to anyone that the HTC ROM is crap. BUT...it was news to me! Still hoping someone can help me out.
I assume You followed the standard procedure of making a Hard reset after the flashing was finished?
About the weather updating: Can you do MMS and get access to internet on the device using 3G or Edge
(The easy way is to test if QiockGPS work when not connected via USB/wifi)?
If not, check the connection and messaging settings (configure connections and MMS options if not autoconfig wizard is usable).
Thanks for the reply!
I did the hard reset, no problem there.
I fixed the weather update problem by editing my MEdia Net Proxy Settings. I'm not having any other problems with Internet, MMS, QuickGPS, etc.
Still hoping for fixes for the non-persistant settings, and for the occasional freezes...

Try flashing cmonex's HardSPL 3.29 as alot of people say it fixes screen freezes:
First Download cmonex HardSPL 3.29:
http://www.4shared.com/file/66276521...rdSPL_329.html
Flash cmonex HardSPL 3.29
1. Copy JumpSPL1.56-KAIS.exe and JumpSPL1.93-KAIS.exe to your device (NOT storage card)
2. Pull out the battery and reinsert it (this step *IS* important)
3. Connect your PC to phone with a USB cable
4. REMOVE SIM and SD CARDS !!
5. Turn phone back on
6. Run JumpSPL1.56-KAIS.exe on your device (make sure the USB cable is still connected). If you get a white screen then reset your device and now try JumpSPL1.93-KAIS.exe
7. After a few seconds "USB" appears on the phone display
8. Unplug and replug the usb cable after 30 seconds
9. Deselect "Allow USB connections" in Activesync connection settings (right click activesync bottom corner icon)
10. Now flash cmonex's hardSPL 3.29 (run KaiserCustomRUU.exe in the cmonex folder on your PC and follow instructions)
11. REPLACE SIM and SD CARDS !!
I know you fixed the weather bug but the official fix for that is:
1. Go to Settings - Connections - Connections - Advanced - Select Networks - Edit (MEdia Net) - Proxy Settings -> UNCHECK BOTH OPTIONS
2. Soft Reset
What intermitent problems are you having?
Thanks for the reply!

I've got Jocky's v3.29 on my Kaiser now, is cmonex's version different or is that link just a mirror for Jocky's HardSPL? If it is different, I will definitely give it a shot. I am hating my Kaiser right now.
As far as the intermittent problems, there are two bad ones that are driving me nuts:
1. The backlight times out after ~12 seconds, no matter what setting I have it on. Interestingly, the backlight no longer goes dim for a few seconds before the screen goes black as it did with the OEM ROM. This means that there is no warning before it goes dark...I'll be reading a NYTimes article and the screen just blacks out every ~12 seconds. I have tried changing the settings and powering down, soft resetting, even hard resetting--nothing works.
2. The missed call tab (under the clock on the right side of the HTC home screen) will only list missed calls. If I go to Menu>Filter and select "All Calls" it will show me all the calls going in, out, and missed, but as soon as I go back to the home screen and select the tab again, it will only show me the missed calls. I know that this is minor, but I really liked having all my calls there b/c it helps me keep track of call times for billing. Again, I have tried all manner of resets and this setting will not persist.
These two problems, along with the freezes, are the only problems I have noticed with this HTC ROM. HOWEVER, they are enough to make me wish I hadn't flashed. I am now scouring the threads for a stable and flawless cooked rom. Thinking of Dutty's Non-Cube Hybrid V2, but haven't finished reading the thousands of posts to see if all issues are resolved. Any favorites?
Thanks again for reading!

The link is to cmonex's HardSPL 3.29 and it has been patched so it is different and definitely worth trying if your screen keeps freezing as it fixed my screen freezes.
For the backlight problem try installing these 2 files then soft reset and see if it fixes it:

I dont think the missed calls screen problem is anything to worry about since you can just press the 1st tab at the bottom of the screen to see the all calls list lol.
Im using HyperDragon3 6th oct Rom and it runs great for me (with a few tweaks):

What does that "longpressendkey" cab do? I have seen it mentioned in the forum many times, but I still don't know if it is a fix or a small program...

LongPressSendKey (or End key for that matter) is an addon app to allow an app or function to be triggered when you hold down the Send/End key. On my Garmin.DK.4.3c ROM, I have the LongPressSendKey give me my Comm Manager, and my LongPressEndKey give me a menu of options (set phone to vibrate, lock phone, etc.)
I've been having a problem since shortly after I got my Fuze, that sometimes on reset it doesn't want to finish starting up -- maybe on one out of three resets. It seems to hang just before starting TF3D. It's still semi-responsive ... the backlight brightness turns back up if I hit a button, and an on-screen button may react if I press it (though it doesn't get as far as launching the application or bringing up the start menu)
Usually forcing another soft reset via the pinhole button results in it booting just fine.
I'm currently using ROMeOS, but I've run into this problem with multiple ROMs, including the stock one. I don't think it's a hardware issue ... I haven't had any other problems that suggest the unit itself is bad.
I tried to figure out what I've done each time I've customized my setup. I stayed away from registry tweaks that affect things like caches or hardware performance this time, and still got the issue. I tried uninstalling some of the apps that I always use. No dice.
But I think I've narrowed down the issue. I uninstalled mun background4allpages, which puts the wallpaper you select onto every tab. After several resets, no problem. I'll continue to test throughout the day, resetting sporadically. But I haven't seen anyone else report a problem like this with background4allpages ... so I'm not sure this is it.
Anyone have anything like this, with any cause at all?
I have his problem every once in awhile with ROMeOS too. I'm not sure what causes it but I'll have to do three or four restarts before it continues on. I think it usually happens after I install an app that has a Today plugin with it. But I'm not totally sure about that but I do know if is after I install a cab.
Looks like a today screen hangup. I can fix it by going to the Today Items tab in settings->today then choosing ok (which causes today to refresh plugins).
imtribble -- I've never needed to do 3-4 resets to clear it. I'm not sure I've even needed to do 2. But I know in my case, it's happened without any cab installed since the last boot.
Sleuth255 -- I'd actually tried that (though not for that purpose) but it doesn't seem to have helped, at least not permanently.
With background4alltabs uninstalled, it seems like the problem is gone (at least so far). I wonder if it might actually be the collision of using both background4alltabs and manilla customizer to change my clock -- since I read somewhere that the files background4alltabs changes also affect the clock. If I can confirm after several more resets that this was the problem, I'll post something in that thread.
I'm just so confused that it only happens sometimes, not all the time. Odd.
Actually, Sleuth255, that may have helped after all. I reinstalled background5allpages, and the problem reappeared. But then I did the Today "OK" and haven't been able to make it freeze since ... so maybe. Will report back further after more testing.
It is not just on ROMeOS though, with my fuze the same thing happens and I am running elite ROM RC2. It is some kind of today screen hangup and sleuth's solution did not help me. It takes ~2-3 soft resets to get it working correctly. If I hold the power button to reset rather than pressing the stylus reset it boots up with no hangs though. Interesting.
mdow09 -- are you using background4allpapers? how about manila customizer (and if so, what have you used it to change)? anything loading in your startup group? trying to figure out what the common elements among people having this problem might be.
its happened to me on provens rom and when i had romeos
but a second reset always fixes it
Not using background4allpapers or manila customizer, the clsoest thing I am using to that is TF3D config. My senses tell me it is something to do with my secondtoday screen. My startups are as follows:
Answer key disabler
autoshortcut.ink
cleartemp.ink
filedlgchgs.ink
G-alarm reload
HTC startup
PKG.ink
poutlook.ink
startclean.ink
hmmm.... I've not gotten a permanent fix either, I occasionally hang up after a reset. When I have my issue, the start menu is operational and I can load programs etc w/o issues. It's only the today screen that's hung which is why I tried fixing it by refreshing the items list in today settings. I'm not running touchflo either if that makes a diff.
mdow09 -- It looks like the only things in common we're running are the processes that are always there. Nothing from an installed app.
Sleuth -- How long does the today/ok seem to fix it for? Do you do something in between that could be re-triggering the problem? I've done 6-7 resets since I reinstalled background4allpapes. I got a freeze on the first. I tried the today/ok and it hasn't frozen since. Been running various apps and doing various tasks in between the resets.
I -MAY- have solved this, or at least worked around it.
Previously, I tried uninstalling Background4allpages. That seemed to solve it, but I only had it uninstalled for a day or so. No conclusive word on whether it was involved.
I tried Sleuth's Today/OK trick. That seemed to stave it off for a while. Still came back. Possibly after installing new apps or doing other things that affect the Today setup. Not sure.
But here's my most recent attempt -- I moved TouchFlo3d (almost) all the way to the top in the list of Today items, with everything else (as normal) unchecked. You can't go all the way to the top, because the date entry is there. My working theory (based on nothing concrete yet) is that the plugins are loaded in the order in which they appear in that list, and the Today function isn't getting to load one that's problematic. Perhaps it's a similar issue - when the problem appears, Touchflo itself won't load because of another plugin that loads first, but each would be fine independently. In any case, pushing it to the top priority seems to be preventing the problem -- at least for now.
Obvious holes in my theory -- It seems strange that Today would still load unchecked plug-ins at all, though maybe it still does some sort of cursory scan of them. And wouldn't the problematic plugin still then load AFTER touchflo in my new setup? Maybe it is, but it's only causing a problem if it loads before TF3D?
As before, will report back after more observation ...

Its intermittent for sure. I've not been able to peg down what causes it yet.
I've got a strange problem with my Touch Pro. It works well for two years and one month after end of warranty (don't ask me why) it starts freezing.
I've got standard ROM, I've made hardreset and use only device without any software installed, nothing helped. After few weeks I've noticed that it freezes mostly when some sound is played: when is playing alarm or when I'm typing in navigation with sound enabled and so on. It also freezes in some incoming calls: I was able to pick up the phone and it freezes after 2-3 seconds of the call. The call was not terminated, but I was not able to hang it - only by soft reset. It doesn't freeze in each call - it's quite unpredictable.
Later I turned off the sound and keep only vibration. Phone works without any issue. Of course, when I turn the sound again on, it freezes after a few tests...
Do you have any idea what can cause this? I'm getting angrier after each freeze and I'm sure the device will fly through the window soon if I don't cope with this...
Standard ROM as in non-custom? Do you have any additional programs installed or additional mods applied? You mentioned doing a hard reset, do you experience any issues with your TP immediately after the hard reset or only after any app installation or mods? May need to narrow it down to something more specific. I have no issues what-so-ever with a custom ROM (see my sig) nor additional mods or applications. They'll have to go after my at&t Fuze with an EMP to get me to buy another phone...
It's standard HTC ROM version 5.05.405.1 WWE with Radio 1.01.25.16. I have no problems for two years with this ROM. After the device started freezing, I've made hard reset (twice), but it obviously isn't a software issue - it froze even after clear install with no additional programs or mods applied...
When the TP is frozen, radio still works (so when it freeze in a call, I can continue talking). Sometimes it freeze when I don't answer the phone - funny is it looks like someone is still calling, even the LED is blinking, but I can't do anything. HW buttons won't work, neither power button. Display always stays turned on (as well as I can remember, it never freeze with display off). Soft reset is the only way out of this...
Yeah, I've seen that once or twice (the screen freezes but lights still blinking while the device is stationary) but not lately and not with the ROM I have installed on my at&t Fuze. Have you installed any additional apps or made and modifications? When's the last time you flashed your device? I can't promise you that flashing will solve the issue as it seems very intermittent and random but perhaps it's tied to a specific phone app or mod?
I've got same problem as You.
I was change a roms few times and still not work correctly.
Has anyone can help ?
I still think it's a hardware problem. I have no freeze for two weeks - but it's only because I'm using vibration mode instead of sound. I'll try to disconnect internal speaker to check if it's the source of the problem...
I was in the service and said that it found none of the above-mentioned defects.
They found that this may be dependent on weather conditions (humidity, conditions of work ect)
It is strange, because it rarely encounters this type of problems.
Personally, you're the first person (including me) who has this type of problems
I have not found anything on the forums in my language.
I'll try to look somewhere.
Regards.
sorry for my English
I used this radio and stopped freeze

Hi All,
I've had the phone about 8 months, UK model.
About 2 months ago, when scrolling in Wikipedia pages on Chrome browser, the display would alternate between normal and blue light (eye comfort). It still does occasionally.
From a few weeks ago, the keyboard sometimes take about 10s to appear.
A few days ago when on voice call from the phone other person can't hear me but I can them while voice call on Whatsapp is fine both ways. Restarting phone seems to solved it for now.
Then yesterday while trying to access settings from either the home screen or app drawer, it fails but you can see its attempting to as you see the settings screen momentarily then a message comes up saying settings failed to start several times and whether to restore by clearing history. Doing that doesn't work. The only way that I can is to touch and hold the settings icon till the search option comes up and then type the particular setting I want.
Before I do anything to fix this, are these symptoms an indication the phone is on the way to a complete breakdown? Would it be a software problem and I suppose the 1st step to fix is factory reset.
Has anyone experience this on their phone?
Reset the phone to factory settings

Unfortunately it's the Oppo software that causes these issues... We hope we can unlock the bootloader soon and flash custom roms to remedy these problems since Oppo are just incompetent.
Chrome colour shift is fixed by typing into your chrome address bar and type: "chrome://flags" then search "Dynamic Color Gamut" and set it to disabled (or it was enabled, I forget since I didn't have the issue myself)
Oppo uses the wrong microphone on third party apps like whatsapp, signal, instagram etc. and we have to wait for an update to fix that. (Issue has been posted here before)
The rest of the issues you described sound like some software instability caused by the Android 11 update. You should save your data and do a factory reset.
If the issues persist after the reset and you didn't install any dodgy apps or modified the software using adb then consider sending the phone in for repair.
OK thanks for replies. So factory reset then...
