Hello everyone,
I'm running across a serious battery problem just the day I've flashed my first hacked WM6.1. My vox seems to be useless. Earlier it was quite ok.
Whenever, I try to start Internet over mobile through any mean like skype, IE, operamini, windows live, Internet sharing, my vox suddenly get switched off.
While in a call, it get sudden switched off sometimes on connected sometimes after 2 to 5 mins.
Battery seems to be drained very fast.
I think on trying these roms some of the files got displaced or corrupted or missing ... I've tried almost each and every hacked rom for vox. Also I've tried to flash all the versions of radio. but no luck. I've also tried by replacing new battery, still no luck.
Please help anyone !
Thanks
Which rom did you flash? Have you tried a different rom?
The ROM is not the issue here.
This is the exact same problem with my Vox and believe me, i've tried every ROM that exists for Vox(built a few of my own also).
This is a issue with the Vox's battery. Get a replacement if under warranty or get a enw battery.

Do you think new battery will definitely solve the problem? Because I'm facing this problem just from the day I've flashed first hacked rom, earlier it was ok. As you said that you've faced the same problem. Have you overcome this issue? Have you changed battery?
I've tried each and every rom. I've found only one rom which is almost stable that is of fireburned rom WM6.1
Is there a solution I can flash complete rom I mean not update but new installation the way we install new OS in pc.
Thanks.

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 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
Hello. Yesterday I want to use my TC and it was off. Tried turning it on- nothing. When I plug it in to charge the orange light stays on for a second and then goes off. When its plugged in and I take the battery out, then stick it right back in the "smart mobility" screen pops up, it vibrates, then it goes blank again. Tried a hard reset and still nothing. Please help me. What´s wrong?
No injuries to my device.........
Thank you......
How old is the device? Did you flash a new ROM or something? Might be a battery problem. Try with a spare battery or something. Borrow one from a friend if possible.
The device is quite new, I think I bought it in april 2008. I flashed the new ROM from official htc web site in september.
I will try another battery.
Thank you

Hmmm....you flashed a new ROM from the official HTC website? Did your phone ever work since then? You might have tried to install WM 6.1 which isn't meant for the polaris since it ships with WM 6. Maybe that's what's gone wrong?
The phone worked with this upgrade very well.

6.1 was officially released for polaris i do belive, so this wont be the problem.
marekswan - have u tried leaving the battery out for half an hour or more, then put it back in and leave for min 3 hours.
Heavy usage does create problems for our polaris barrery, have u noticed it getting warm on heavy use (constant gps use for example)
If that doesnt work, and its in guarantee, take it back as they can test battery for fault and give u a replacement. I had a faulty battery after about 6 months and got a new one.
Just a thought, had u installed any new programs or flashed a rom? (soz cant remember ur sig whilst writing.)
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.

hello guys, i recently upgrade my two friends kaisers from there stock att rom to anryls 21202 6.5 builds, i follow the wiki to the last letter, but both kaisers are experiencing some odd problem, both kaisers after a month or so of been upgrade started to go onto a infinite restart loop, both went till the today screen and imitiatly(typos galor) restart they did this loop until both batteries were dead, i recommende them to leave the battery out from the devices for a night or so, they both did and after that both phones rebooted normaly and performed normaly foe about 2 weeks, after this time the infinite restart loop started again, im out of ideas here guys, if anyone can help out i would greatly apreciated.
regards

Just reflash to a better build! Sometimes kooked ROM can do that after a period of time!
I had a somewhat similar problem. What worked for me was flashing the latest HTC ROM for the AT&T Tilt (flash whichever ROM is recommended for the Kaiser from HTC) and then re-flashed a cooked 6.5. Dunno why 6.5 has that issue, but flashing an HTC ROM helped mine. I now run TPC Elite 3.1 without any problems.

i know that lol, but restaring loops mean that something might be wrong with the onboard power supply chip or the battery its self, il try soberguy's solution, anyways thanks for both reply's appreciated.

I freaked at first, too. I couldn't get the damn phone to do anything, no matter what I tried. In a fit of rage it almost hit the wall. I spent hours frantically reflashing all the ROMs I could find, to no avail. Flashing over to the official HTC ROM, and then reflashing TPC Elite 3.1 did the trick!
I'm positive you'll be fine and there's no actual hardware issue with your device.

The devices are not mine xD, the two kaisers are from some friends of mine, i own a touch pro , im still trying to contact them both and tell them to do the oem rom flashing thing, but haven't got a hold of them, i will soon though.
Its probably a memory leak that is causing, sometimes kooked ROM's tend to do that. Just use a different ROM.
I had a similar problem sometime ago, coupled with random key presses. After reflashing, installing HardSPL again and whatnot, I found that the problem was humidity ...
I lived in Bangladesh. Holding the phone close to the AC and keeping it out of my pocket during the humid season fixed it. Dont know if it is the same for your friends ...
Hi All,
I got a strange problem regarding the GPS function of the phone.. when I start a program requirering GPS (TomTom, HTC GPSTool, Chartcross GPSTest) the phone freezes after 5-10seconds and I have to pull the battery out.
I did not had this problem 2/3 weeks ago and nothing has changed since than, just normal usage (dropped it once..)
First I thought it was a TomTom problem or just a problem in the Rom..
I use the EnergyRom currently, but after trying 2 different Roms the problem still existed..
Do you think that there is any program/system thing that could cause this or is my GPS antenna broke or something like that.. and if it's so, can it be fixed or am I in deep trouble..
I am having the same issue, I have had my raph for over 12 months now and its been working fine, using eneryrom, and it was working fine with this ROM until the other day...
No need to pull the battery out, I can reset it by the hard ware reset button.
But still sucks I cant use tom tom
Anyone else got any ideas?
Yeah I found that resetting thing out too I received an idea via a P.M. to reflash the radio, this did not help me.. maybe it will help you out!
I can't even use GPS test it freezes up everytime.. so frustrating if you've tried a lot of things but still the problem remains!
I am having the same problem too....i didnt start until 4 days ago...i have changed the radio and rom still same problem....it freezes up on all those including googlemaps
Ive had the same problem as you guys. Once the device gets a lock on gps it will freeze. Ive been using energy roms since the start and just recently its been doing this.
I solved it by switching to a different radio. but for some reason i cannot go back to the radio i was using because it has this problem. hope that helps til an answer can be figured out as to why its doing this.
btw i was using radio 1.02.25.28
