Hi guys, I've got a little problem that I need some help with.
Whenever I download and intall any rom on my phone, I use it for a while, maybe a few weeks or sometimes it lasts a month or two (most recently, lasted only a week)....it then freezes up at some point and I have to do a soft reset...sometimes instead of doing a soft reset it does a hard reset on its own....or it even sometimes freezes up on the boot screen and I have no other options but to perform a hard reset.
I'm sick of losing all my data and programs and then having to replace them.
I've tried numerous roms varying from Romeos, Laurentius etc....but I still get the same problem. I haven't had a stable rom since Dutty, but even with his, I would get this problem sometimes.
Any Ideas what I can do, this is getting really really annoying.
My phone spces are:
HTC Kaiser, 3.56 Hardspl (recently updated a month ago), Radio 1.65.24.36.
Apps that I always install:
SBSH Pocketweather, PIM backup, tomtom 6, z2 R2PC client (remote desktop program) and PT Travel alarm.
I sync all my previous emails, notes and call logs with PIM backup, and all of my calendar appointments and contacts I sync using Activesync through my PC.
Any suggestion would be extremely helpful, I'm ready to pull my hair out here....I'm sick of getting stranded having to do a hard reset then coming home and spending two hours fixing my phone to the way I like it,
Thank you,
P
I don't use any of those programs except TomTom, and even TT is used rarely.
BUT
I do/have used pretty much all the new ROMs and have had no stability problems. Obviously one or more of the programs are disagreeing with with the newer ROMs.
Is it because of wm6.1?
Are you getting the freeze when one of the programs are running?
I had that happen to me too the other day. I'll get the details of the ROM and post in here as soon as I can.
Try the ROM in my signature - never have a lock up. Only turn it off when I fly. Used it since it was released. I use TomTom and several of the others that you say and LOTS of others that I have installed.

The SPB Pocket applications are known to cause headaches with WM 6.1 ROMs. I would suggest running without it installed and see if the problem still occurs.
You think this has anything to do with what hardspl version i'm running? Even when i was running the older hardspl with duttys it still crashed on me once or twice.
As for software, i'm not running any spb programs...the only one i can see maybe causing a problem is pocketweather(by sbsh)...but it's a pretty simple weather app...i sure hope it isn't the cause.
I might have to give that Shogun app a try and see how that goes.
Thanks for the replies so far.

Try removing the weather app. As for HardSPL, the only known issues with running an incorrect/outdated version of it are occasional device freezes that generally last from 1-5 seconds.
I recommend flashing the AT&T OEM recent WM6.1 ROM. I am using it now and have no issues thus far. I also installed all of SPB Suite and Resco Suite, iGO8 and many other programs, NO ISSUES so far.
This ROM has been released and it is posted here on this forum.

I was running a faria's the real thing for about a month and everything was working great. then, about a week ago it locked up and got stuck on the splash screen after a soft reset. I tried to soft reset several times with the same result. I then hard reset my phone. I worked, but not properly. then I flashed back to tmo 2.26 and back to the real thing and reinstalled my apps. it seemed to work. later that day, I started noticing a lot of calnot.exe and clocknot.exe errors. after a couple of days of this I flashed back to tmo 2.26 and then to crossbow reloaded 1.5 to see if that fixed the errors. I did. now I have other issues though. if I push gthe power button to put my phone to sleep, I cannot turn back on without soft resetting. phone calls won't wake it. calender reminders won't either. i've tried 2.26 and 3.08 ipl/spl and radio 2.19 and 2.40

Just wondering, what 3rd party apps are you installing?

Have you installed the latest versions of SPB on the phone? I don't personally use them, but I know that unless you have the latest, they cause a lot of problems with WM6.
In fact, those exact issues you're having have been reported in the Hermes forums. Same solution, make sure you're running the most up-to-date SPB versions.
i downloaded all of the up-to-date versions before reinstalling a couple of nights ago. is there any one of those in particular that might be the problem over the others? my first suspect was spb time because the errors were clocknot.exe and calnot.exe - just an uneducated guess, but i figured that those are related to time and calender fuctions.
I am having a problem with ActiveSync on my phone an Orange M700 running the HTC P3600 ROM. It was working with no problems until a few weeks ago when it stopped syncing. I have tested the laptop with another PPC and ActiveSync notices it straight away.
I have installed ActiveSync 4.5 to no avail so I returned to 4.2 and still nothing. I deleted all partnerships in both the phone and the laptop and when I plugged it back in the Windows saw the device as there was a pop up bubble in the bottom right corner but ActiveSync never kicked in.
I have had a look at the ActiveSync settings in the M700 but everything looks fine to me.
I have also been having problems with my 3G connection not connecting and doing the regular syncs it normally does e.g. my personal mail every 5 mins, my yahoo mail every hour and the weather every 2 hours. The only thing that has changed in this time is that I installed Fring, I can't imagine its related but I uninstalled Fring just in case but still no luck.
Anyone got any ideas how to fix it as I have some new appointments (I'm not sure which ones) in my PDA which I want to get synced before messing around with hard resets etc.
Thanks
Did you delete any notifications of any kind, usually replog files? If YES, then you just deleted your notification to activate Active Sync on your computer. You can solve that easily by returning the file. READ this for the solution: http://www.cs.pitt.edu/~jmisurda/ppc/blog/index.php?entry=entry051203-201515

I don't think I did that but I tried the file anyway, still no joy. I think my phone is also vibrating when I plug it into the PC now, very strange.

Have you ever used Check Notifications? It is a free software to clear away JUNK notifications.
Link: http://www.scarybearsoftware.com/cn_overview.html
Sometimes, our PPC just creates duplicates of certain Notifications that can cause conflicts with some softwares. Maybe this is what is happening in your device. You can try and download Check Notifications, even though it says it is only compatible with WM 2003, I use it for my HTC Universal (WM5). Just go to Check Notifications settings and tick the 3 choices, run it and CLEAR those pesky bugs.

Right I ticked the three boxes and cleared the issues but still nothing
Normally I'd just hard reset but I am worried about losing appointments I've forgotten I have made since my last sync.

I don't know what else to suggest.
If you do decide to HARD RESET, take a look at this FREE BABKUP program for contacts and calendar events: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=299705&highlight=backup
I hate doing hard resets myself, that is why I have SPB Backup configured to do automatic backups everyday at 5AM.
Good Luck...

Thanks for your help.
I'm not sure how I am going to progress this. My major issue is that we use GroupWise at work with a third party app to allow the PocketPCs to sync with it. When you set it up it blanks the device before you can do anything, if I wait and import everything after this it usually can't cope with the levels of changes and kills the system on the server.
Oh joy, why wasn't someone looking at the "bigger picture" when we choose an e-mail system.....
Hi
A couple of days ago I realized that my Qtek 9100 no longer processed my reminders. My phone don't any longer play a sound and pop up a window at the time/date a reminder is due.
I checked the settings and everything is set correctly. Then I reset the Qtek and it still didn't go back to work normally. The last step was to switch it off, remove the battery and switch it on again. That did the trick, everything went back to normal, however only for a time. Next day same situation, reminders do not process. Again switch off, etc., and again it returned to working normally and again until some time....
I don't know if and what program I might have installed, and I surely don't know what causes this malfunction nor how to get rid of it.
Anyone out there who could give me a hand on solving this problem?
cheers...
May users have notification problems (in WM5 and WM6 devices). Search forum and you'll find FAQ about NQ and reminders problem.
My experiences: since I use pmClean (free) and SKTools (commercial) everyday my notifications and reminders work without any bugs for more then 2 months. Both applications have scheduling then you don't have to run them manually.
I don't synchronize my Artemis with Outlook on PC, maybe it's useful too.
Good luck.
PS. You could try Check Notifications, but for check only (suspicious notifications are in red color), don't use it's clean feature or you could have NQ cleaned too much
Hi
Thanks for you help. I installed the pmClean and the notifications came back after cleaning. However the next day again they were blocked again. May I ask you how you configured your pmClean? Do you run it automatically? If so, one or more days per week? Do you let it execute a soft reset after cleaning?

Actually I use 2 programs now - pmClean runs one a day (auto, with no reset) and SKTools - once a day too.
Hi.... I installed pmClean and even purchased SKTools.... but every day I realize that the reminders don't work. I have the pmClean programmed to run every day at 06:00... doesn't help. The reminders seem to works however always after I did a reset. However it looks that inbetween the next day something happens and the reminders again won't work. Any idea on what I could do? Is there anymore server reset like uninstalling all programs but mobile 5 itself and re-install everything?
cheers
Try not to synchronize with PC and see it it'll help. You may also use WakeUp Tweak to make every night cleanup longer.
I know WM5 and WM6 bugs in NQ are very annoying and MS ignores our prayers for years... I always think about new Android from Google when it happens to me

Hi
guess I finally figured out what caused the problem. It's not the Qtek 9100 but the ActiveSync application. I suspected this yesterday after reading some comments. So I decided to not connect my phone to my note which always triggered the ActiveSync to load. And since my last cleanup and soft reset yesterday all reminders worked. The WM5 sync at midnight didn't do any harm. Now the question is how can I fix ActiveSync? At least I'd like to be able to install programs on my Qtek which always comes with a sync. Any idea? Or do I simply have to always run pmClean followed by a soft reset after having my Qtek being connected?

You still can install programs without Activesync partnership (your device is seen as Guest).
I think I've put this in the right place, but Mods please feel free to move it if I haven't.
My O2 XDA Ignito (HTC Touch Diamond in a different housing) has worked perfectly with iFonz for many months. I'm on version 1.1.2. I am very, very happy with iFonz and would not want to go back to TouchFlo which is nowhere near as good.
Yesterday, iFonz suddenly started operating extremely slowly. I thought I had crashed, but in fact it responds to commands but takes anything from 15 seconds to over a minute to do so. Until then, it has been virtually instantaneous.
The first command I issue after it's been left for some time will work as normal, but if I open (say) the PI Calendar, then close that - the nothing else will work for about 15 seconds after the keypress.
The only change I know about is that I had a problem with ActiveSynch to a new desktop installation (the familiar 0x86000107 problem) which I fixed in the usual way by deleting and reinstalling the pairing. Activesync worked fine after that.
I have S2U2 running - but that's always been there.
I noticed from the time I first installed iFonz that it would not update its header bar for several seconds after starting, but everything else worked OK.
Can anyone suggest a cause or a fix? I'm reluctant to uninstall and reinstall because I've set up 4 pages of icons and don't want to lose all that work.
I never used iFonz but i'm pretty sure the settings are kept somewhere so you can export them and not have to set everything up from the beginning. I always suggest uninstalling to check what causes the problem.
Thank you. Indeed, that is what I would have expected. I've searched the machine carefully, and found the iFonz software but no settings file.
I've PMed the author, and meanwhile I've taken iFonz off the startup list and running Touchflo instead. I don't like it anything like as much as iFonz, but it works.
Well, there's been no reply from the author, and everything I've tried (including uninstall and reinstall) has made no difference. Sad, because I liked iFonz.

Please tell me how to fix the above a bit more specifik...
I don't understand what you mean by: "pairing"
"Pairing" is setting up the ActiveSync connection between the PDA/phone and the PC so that they will synchronise when you connect them.
If you get the error, you have a problem. I fixed mine for a few months, but then the problem came back worse, and the fixes that used to work stopped. Basically, I don't think ActiveSync is capable of doing the job reliably. It deleted all my contacts (losing me a load of names and addresses that I needed and couldn't recover). I threw it out some time ago.
I now use an iPhone which doesn't have any of those problems.
Hello all. I have an HTC Touch Diamond on Bell. The issue I have is quite annoying. I want to avoid a hard reset as much as possible. Basically, the problem I have is that when I delete messages, they will always reappear after a soft reset. Any messages I received between the last reset message will be deleted once a soft reset is performed. For example, I received a message on May 23rd and messages received after that are not kept once I soft reset. I found users with a similar issue here: http://www.technologyquestions.com/...general/225754-text-messages-wont-delete.html
I have tried everything. Clearing ALL text messages doesn't even work. I clear my messages, wait overnight, then in the morning, soft reset, all the messages have returned. I would appreciate any help that you can give.
PS: It does the same thing with my email. I have 2 new emails in one of my three accounts, which I delete, and then sync again. After a soft reset, they have returned along with all the other text messages. It's very frustrating!
I should also say that I am not using a cooked ROM, I'm using the stock Bell ROM. Anyone have any ideas?
I've heard of this problem before.. and to be honest, i couldn't find a solution other than hard-reseting or replacing the ROM... i'm sorry..
wm reads your pim files everytime it loads.. and apparently you have a problem erasing data from within the file.. no idea why.
wait for a couple of days to see if someone managed to solve this.. if not, i'd hard-reset.
Thank you for your reply. I did a hard reset. I just hope this problem won't return. I really don't want to do a hard reset every 2-3 months!
flash new roms
you will be hard resetting every 2 weeks and finding out how much better your phone can be
try out the new microsoft my phone software you can sync over the network so you dont lose anything when you hard reset

I flashed a cooked ROM in the past and I didn't like it at all. The time stamps on messages were way off and even when changing the time manually it would switch back.
And thanks for the MyPhone suggestion. I've been using it since April and has worked pretty good so far. I also used Dashwire which worked nicely as well.
cooked ROMs in this forum are usually fantastic. you probably just stumbled upon a sucky one. I always suggest cooked ROMs as they are faster and more useful than the official ones (to be honest, i wouldn't be surprised if HTC actually assume their official ROMs will only be used for reference applications and system packages)...
also, ALWAYS backup your data. ALWAYS!
you can use PIMBackup2.8 to backup messages/recent calls/appointments/tasks.... and SPB Backup/Sprite Backup/Resco Backup...to backup you system.
dont soft reset hold the power button until the popup appears then press yes... worked for me
If you soft-reset just in few seconds after deleting mesages, they'll appear again. They'll also appear again if you don't let time to write again the registry.
For soft-resetting, better use an app to do this, slowly. If not, take your time to power off after some minutes. Remember the message "everything you did not save will be lost" and apply it for the fact you deleted the messages but this deletion was not "saved" yet if you don't take you time.
As I stated earlier, I even waited overnight to reset, and have done it by holding down the power buttion. They would still come back. Something was corrupt and only a hard reset would fix it.
Regarding the cooked ROM, I used MightyROM before and it gave me issues.
