S710 wont stop notifying me of missed calls/texts THAT DIDNT HAPPEN.
I know for sure, i have checked everything manually. I have rebooted the phone several times, hung it on a charger (if it was running out of juice...) nothing helps...
It just continues to buzz-buzz me every 2 or so minutes to tell me i have missed somthing...which i didnt...
What gives ?
Phone is on WM6.1 and all the buzzing started this morning when it was almost out of juice. Now its fully charged and it still wont stop buzzing me every 2 minutes...
Remove notify.mscr from \Windows\Startup - you really should read the release notes of a ROM before you flash it.
well it was flashed like a month or two ago and no false notifications were there. So where did it come from THIS MORNING?
@Hawaii: thanks, that shut it up...

Hi everyone,
I have my Touch Pro for a few months now. for some reason i have stopped receiving text messages while my phone is on standby.
Only after i wake it up, i receive the SMS notification.
I think it started happening only last week after i've put another sim card in my TP. but i changed the sim card back after half an hour.
this is very bothering and i have no idea what to do.
I was using the 1.02.25.28 radio rom. I tried upgrading the rom to see if it would work, but the 1.08.25.20M1 rom didn't help either.
I also tried to check if it's a problem with my sim card, so i put a different sim (a 2G one) and it still didn't work.
anyone have any ideas? i will only hard reset the device as a last resort
P.S
I am using ROMeOS v1.51
Thanks
i only had this issue only once, woke up one fine night when they phone was asleep ... then a message came tru and the time stamp was 4 hours earlier ...
ammon ROMeOS as well ..1.6x
I'm not sure what's going on with it...
I actually received an sms today on time when my phone was in standby.
I told my friend to try to text me again, but this time i didnt get the message untill i woke it up
any ideas before i hard reset??
download/install diamond config or advanced config, both give you the option of changing this setting
which setting is this? the option to disable the automatic sleep or to enable receipt of text messages during standby?
anyway, i can't find this in advanced config. under what option is this?
ive never seen an option like that in advanced config
seems like a hard reset solved the problem
Hey everyone! Yesterday, for the first time since I rooted and upgraded my ROM, I did not receive txts from anyone even though I sent our several texts - even spoke to my friends today who said that they responded. And it wasn't Sprint's fault, cos even after rebooting my phone, they wouldn't come through. But texts sent after rebooting would come through successfully.
Any idea why? I went through a whole day thinking my friends were ignoring me. Not a great feeling on Thanksgiving's eve
FYI - I've just set up Google Calendar to send me an SMS alert every hour just to make sure that I'm receiving txts from now on. It's not the easiest workaround, but at least if I'm down, I'll know it's just for an hour. Any thoughts?
I'm gonna say it's not the ROM and blame it on Thanksgiving.
If HTCIQ force closes on your phone for any reason then every thing will functional properly including sending texts, but you won't receive any. And a reboot won't cause them to come through. I'm not saying that's what happened (did you have any FC's?) but it's possible.
But just like vox said, there's no reason to think it's the rom. There have been 325 downloads of 0.6 so if there was an issue, it would be a known one. Kind of one of those "if you are the only one experiencing the problem...." type of things.
FYI, so far I've received my Google Calendar hourly alerts for 12, 1, 3 & 4 pm (it's now 4.27pm PST) but the 2pm one did not come through I remember yesterday that I had a force close message for the Voice Recorder app. Could it be possible it's one of the apps running in the background?
What's HTCIQ? And how do I prevent it from FC'ing?
Do you have any themes or optimizations or anything other than fresh 0.6? Are you using clear as a bell?
How did you put voice recorder back on?
Nothing of the sort, just been installing apps. Haven't optimized or changed themes at all. So far today, every hourly txt from my Google Calendar came in except for the 2pm one. I'm going to have it send me hourly texts from now on just to make sure I won't go by more than an hour without receiving one. I know it's a random and sporadic issue and there's probably no fix, but I just wanted to put it out there in case it happens to someone else.
Are you using any sort of task killer?

Good question.
I have TasKiller installed but I stopped using it over the last few days. I'm still experiencing receiving issues. My Google calendar alerts have decided to skip every other hour now Especially in the middle of the night. Fri night, the last alert came in at 9pm and the next one came in at 1am. This sucks
I experienced this problem for the first time last night. Texts were sent and nothing showed on the phone. Once I rebooted texts came through but only new ones. Any texts sent while the phone was apparently having issues ended up in /dev/null. Since I've read about this happening previously on other, non-rooted and non-flashed, Heros I test occasionally just to make sure things are working as expected and always right before I go to sleep.
The force close theory makes a lot of sense to me. The Mail app did a force close 2-3 times yesterday. if HTCIQ did a force close I was not notified.
MoDaCo 1.1 -> fresh 0.6 + optimized apk
I have the Verizon Touch Pro2 and recently upgraded to Windows Mobile 6.5 using the official release.
I saw someone else have this problem (he posted a video of the issue) but I cannot find if he found a solution.
Normally, if you press the top button, the blacklight turns the device's backlight on or off. If off and you press the Power button, the device tells you "Backlight is off. Press button to turn on." and points to the top button with a little green arrow.
Well, something is wrong with mine. When the backlight is off, pressing the top button does nothing. The problem is intermittent and very frustrating.
Now the device is not locked/crashed because the power button will bring up the message. Also, if I call my phone, it comes up. If I txt my phone, it comes up. If I plug my phone into my computer via USB, it comes up. But pressing the top button doesnt make it come up.
I've flashed the phone 3 times to try to get rid of the problem. Originally the phone had the 6.1 stock Verizon ROM. I have not ever try to load a custom ROM on this phone. I have no special software installed on the phone. I am not using the Sense interface, I'm using the Windows Default.
Please help! & Thanks to all you gurus!
I've only noticed this problem when my device gets too hot, so try to keep it out of the sun/heat. I've been on Mighty Mike rom for the past week and have had no issues.
i dont think its the heat..

i have not noticed any heat issues. the problem has occurred both when the device was plugged in and not plugged in. in rooms with temperatures from 68° to 76° F and never in direct sunlight..
i think the problem has something to do with email.
i have it setup to check my yahoomail via imap. its downloading messages from years ago, even though its been setup to do only the past 30 days, how is this possible?
ive seen it say 2000+ new emails on the today screen, and dating back to 2003 the last time i was able to turn the backlight on via USB, the yahoomail account was in a perpetual disconnecting... sometimes erroring at being unable to synchronize at all..
also the error reporting service has told me that "tmail.exe" keeps crashing.. im assuming its crashing cause its getting overloaded with too many emails.. can any provide some input?
ive deleted the yahoomail account for now and will see if it happens again..
update
almost 24 hours later, no locking up. device is running smooth.
i fear that the issue is related to the email problem.
it downloading 2000+ emails must have been it.. im assuming
has anyone else had the backlight issue? and have you found it may be related to email?
im going to wait 2 more days and re-add the yahoomail account and see what happens.
That is very interesting. Have you tried using seven for your mail?

almost 48 hours later..

no ive never heard of it.. it looks like id have to join a beta to get it for my phone..
and although i enjoy the idea of using something that works i dont like just giving up on the whatever is wrong with the software.
and...
almost 48 hours later the phone has not at all locked up.. i fear the issue is directly related to whatever it was doing with my yahoomail account.
the settings were: imap yahoomail, html, 2kb, 30days, no attachments.. i think thats all thats relevant.. and it was downloading well over 2000 messages from as far back as 2003
im going to add the mail account back tonight to see what happens..

Since you mentioned it I was mulling it over...I really think you are onto something with that mail message, because the two times I did that I had a message waiting.
Seven should be free, I've posted the cab below.
Same thing with mine...
I've had the same thing happening with my TouchPro 2. I found a quasi-work around that helps limit the number of freezes, but it sure increases the number of pocket-dials I make. In the advanced section of the power settings deselect the "turn off backlight if device is not used for" box. Then decrease the "turn off device if not used for" box to 1 minute. I'm still getting really good battery life (lasts all day) and it's not a new battery.
I sure hope there's some sort of update or fix for this issue soon, because this is only a work-around.
Backlight issue on Verizon
I was having the same problem. I do not know if you have mobile email installed. I did. I removed it and so far so good. You will have to hold the back light button for about three seconds sometimes but it always works. No more soft resets. The only issue is that you have to contact Verizon and have them stop the text notifications from OZ Mail. The way Mobile E mail works is the third party software company sends a text which you never see because mobile email software gets it and uses it to give you the notification that you have new mail. Tech support had to create a trouble ticket in order to stop these text messages. Every time I got a email I would get a text from OZ mail with about 20 something alphanumeric numbers. SO far so good!
I had this problem with mine and it appeared to have something to do with my 3.5 audio jack... it was like it thought there was somthing plugged in there but there wasn't. as soon as i plugged in my headphones the screen came right on...
update - and semi-isolation
so after days of not having my yahoomail account configured, and my phone not locking up once, i added it back with the following settings:
imap, 7days, 2kb, no attachments. (the original issue occurred with similar settings, only 30day past messages and not 7)
it worked for a few days, then when i was leaving work today i took my phone out of my locker and noticed the backlight was on. an alarm had gone off.
then i looked at yahoomail and it said i had 2000+ new messages.. the first message dated from august 2008
i turned the backlight off. when i tried to turn it back on it worked. but later in the evening it did not. it hung like it was doing when i started this thread. and it was in the process of "downloading headers" for hours. upon clicking "send/receive" to make it disconnect, it sat on disconnect for a long time, without doing anything.
something is clearly wrong with yahoomail or perhaps simply the imap service
who should be contacted? someone at verizon?

i noticed my screen coming back on this evening when i got out of my car. i have bluetooth set up from my car deck to my phone for audio streaming and hands free.. it automatically connects when i turn the car on and disconnects when i turn the car off. upon disconnect the phone usually displays an error saying that the hands-free device has been disconnected.
it looks like the phone will respond when any kind of event happens (ie plug/unplug of headphones, phone call, txt message, alarm, etc..) so whatever the hell is wrong the phone is not actually crashed, just the backlight wont respond to the top button..
What your describing bis not new... nor is it limited the the TP2 or HTC phones. Commonly referred to as "failure to wake" or "sleep of death" (do ba search). Potentially effects all WinMo devices.
Frequently attributed to programs running in the background as the phone goes into sleep mode. By Programs, this could mean an active applicationyou initiated, a system program running invisibly in the background or an event that creats a notification while the phone was asleep.
Workaround is similar to what you've already tried: Extend the amount of time it takes for the device to go to sleep (+ve found 3 minutes sufficient, allowing for more time to multitask with multiple programs running).
Try not to put the phone to sleep with known programs running under the task manager.
Use Lumos to conserve battery life, since youre possibly keeping the device on for longer periods.
Keep availible RAM using a RAM cleaner and clean up duplicate notifications. I use MemMade for both.
This is a software issue and the circumstances are descibed in Microsoft's documentation for software developers. They test for programs that contribute,or create this problem before they go into the marketplace.
Sorry for the typos. In class banging out a hasty responce.
I've been having the same issue too, intermitantly maybe twice a month. I can't find any pattern.
I use Google Latitude, Batti, and I sync email every 30 minutes (Exchange to my univeristy, and IMAP to AOL) but I also have my computer set to download messages and erase messages after 2 days so I never have more than about 100 messages to sync.
WM 6.5 Verizon ROM (it came preloaded out of the box)
Sometimes, it locks up immediately after bootup (as a moment ago) sometimes it will run great for weeks before having problems. I can't find a pattern.
I wonder if anyone has seen this. Once every few days, I would look at my phone and find that the phone appeared to be starting up. I would see the no cell service icon, it would eventually connect after a minute or so. Then media scanner will start. Even notifications that I previously cleared will popup again. However, it was not a full restart since I never heard the phone startup sound.
Yes, I have had the exact same problem, it happened today. Today was the second time it has happened in just over a months time. I was at the gym and I got a phone call, didn't wanna answer so I rejected it and the person left a voicemail. Minutes after that, I experienced what you described.
Even after deleting the voice message, the voicemail icon still showed up in the notification bar and the phone kept reloading itself.
The phone would not even get to a point where I could use it, it stayed in a loop of reloading.
My issue may have been different, but I pinpointed it to the SIM card.
Here's the steps I took to resolve that issue, which resolved the "rebooting":
Put my SIM card into my old GoPhone (any ATT or unlocked phone should do)
Called my number from my landline and left a voice message
Called my voicemail from the GoPhone
Deleted my new voicemail
Put the SIM card back into the Captivate and it worked just fine
That same situation happened to me this morning. I was in the car and had pandora playing. Then it just stopped in the middle of a song and did what you described - I also didn't hear the start up sound, just saw the media scanner running and the no signal icon. After everything finished, I was able to start pandora back up. Phone has been running fine since. Strange.

When this happens, I also lost the bluetooth connection to my car. It appeared the bluetooth device was still paired but I couldn't connect to it. I had to unpair and pair it again. I also had to go through the initial screen of Vlingo again when I started it up.
I just had this happen an hour or so ago and have seen it multiple times before... for what it's worth.
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I897 using XDA App
Was offered and got this this morning. Ok so far, but now 'LinkedIn for HTC Sense' reliably force closes on sync or changing its sync settings. Anyone else seen this? Uninstalled now anyway.
I think I got it from the HTC Hub, but can't find it now - maybe they know and pulled it??
Have a separate question but still related to the post. I received a notification for this update this morning. Currently running stock HTC sense but s-off by alpharevx and have superuser access using gingerbreak. Will i lose both features if i do the system update as some other posts of earlier updates indicate that the hboot gets updated.
Just restarted phone because of weirdness again - used to have to do it every 3 days or so.
This time SMS notifications suddenly started auto-clearing a few secs after they arrived. Now works again. Missed I'd got an important one too, meanwhile. Really bad this phone is less reliable doing basic phone stuff than a £10 plastic 'txt and talk' alternative. Maybe I should swap for one of those. At least they allow me to txt and talk reliably, and the battery will last ages :-(
I think it'll be back to Blackberry as soon as I can. Over a year to go :-(
Anyway, got 10days 4hrs 39min 55sec out of it this time without a reboot or hard crash. A record
(Sorry about the rant)

Happened again. SMS's appear in the message list as new IF I open the message list, but the notification behaviour breaks after some trigger yet to be discovered. Anyone else seeing this?
