I've tried this new version found here (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=1769023) hoping that it would solve the freezing-on-incoming-call problem that I experience intermittently.
I've unionstalled the old version, rebooted, installed the new, rebooted again for the sake of safety, but it doesn't show up in the screen, even if I've enalbed it in Today settings.
Are you experiencing this problem too?
@mamaich, and the others: how can we solve?
Hi Bro,
I've totally given up with any version of HTC Home Today no matter how cool it is as it locks up the phone when receiving calls.
The only solution to avoid crash is to run in portrait mode which unfortunately doesn't suit me. Instead, I'll wait for HTC Shift's SnapVue to run in Uni, why not? It runs on HTC Athena!?
Cheers!

yeah, even the HTC Home runs in the athena... it runs in the kaiser...and in the touch, too... so why shouldn't it run on the Universal...
argh... i hate the universal!!!
I think only a few of us are having the freeze/crash problem. Most Uni users don't seem to have any problems at all.

I don't think so. Most uni users switch ROM every 2 days and they don't use the PDA for anything serious at all.
If something suddendly stops working (as it is frequently the case) they just hard reset the device.
I want to use my universal and upgrade the ROM only when needed, when something really new comes out.

Hi guys,
I too get this same problem, and it is very annoying, and yes I do use my Uni for more than just a toy.
Hope we get a working solution soon

confirmed... hangs upon incoming call.... the phone would keep vibrating while all keys/buttons/screen area are locked, no way to answer it....does not stop so had to reset.

you mean this new version? or the old version?
Nice to see "some" of you with the "crash on receiving calls in laptop mode" problem post here!
I use my Uni too as a PDA & a business tool & that made me to conclude that plugin is not for me. The plugin is a beauty but functionality comes first to me. Unless a solution can be found I've learned to live without it!
Going back on topic, haven't tried this version yet but the previous 2.xxxx versions installs well but causes the horrible crash.

How can you say that? When the device is in standby, no other program is running. When the device is on, HTC Home causes no major cpu usage (except maybe once a minute, when btw every plugin has a greater chance to use the CPU to redraw itself)
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?

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%

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
First of all thanks in advance for any assistance you can provide me.
A while back I installed Alex.v52.ATT.162.Cube.ROM located at http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=363865 and all was working as expected. I decided to install Duttys_WM6.1_5.2.19700_Hybrid_V2_1_64.08.21_CubeV2_ ROM located at http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=388947 but upon completion all I got was the boot screen. Rebooting did not help so I reinstalled the Alex rom. Upon completion of the installation process of the Alex rom, the phone tried to reboot but nothing happened. It just stayed off. I tried to hard reset and nothing. When connecting to the computer and the power adapter, the charging light does not come on. I tried to change the battery and nothing helps. At this point I am out of things to try so I am posting in hopes someone has had this issue and was able to recover the phone.
Please note that I created a separate thread for this since the Alex rom thread was discontinue and Dutty is no longer supporting the Kaiser.
Thanks!!!!
[edit] sorry, my advice wount deffently not help you here. Just saw that I adviced on another issue.
Did you at all revert from HardSPL? b/c i assume you had it at one time since you flashed alex's rom earlier.

zeezee: The phone had HardSPL v1 and I did not do anything to update or change it.
One thing I did notice when I removed the battery and used a friend's phone to test if it was working was that it was at 40% and I know that when installing a ROM it calls for the battery to over over 50%. Could this have caused the issue. I did charge it to 100% afterwards and put it back on the phone with no success.

Unplug the device, remove the battery, take a nap (longer the better), replace the battery, then try powering it again, i had the same thing happen to me when i tried to cooking a ROM, scared the crap out of me. Thought i bricked my phone. but it came back to life after the cycle. You have to make sure that all the juice is gone from the unit, just changing the battery may not have enough time to discharge it, also make sure that the sim door is close and there is no SD card installed, after i got it to turn on i had to flash my device with a SD card cause the USB didn't work.
Hope this helps.
Good Luck
No luck!
Thanks everyone for your input but none of the suggestions worked. I guess next step is to put it up on ebay for parts

Try This
Holding the 2 soft keys and pressing the reset button. If not that try holding the camera button and pressing the reset button.
Happened to me too last night. Similar anyway. I was using skype and charging my phone from the charger then it just stopped charging. I soft reset and it still didn't work. Hard reset and that didn't work. The USB port is dead. I'm going to try flashing from the SD card. Maybe that will flash I'm sure but we'll see if it fixes my 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.

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 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 ...
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?
