Hi.
My phone shows strange behavior now 2 times in a row: After some time, i suddenly get an error, that some exe wasnt found and i cannot start any application, the start menu gets empty, etc.
It's like he cannot access the hard-drive ( ) anymore, just like what happens if you turn your hard-disk off while xp is still running (try it, its fun!)
Afterwards, i cannot get past bootscreen if i soft-reset. ONLY a hard-reset or reflashing works.
I remember, that i didn't always did a hard-reset after flashing a new rom, could this MAYBE be the issue? I flashed my phone after the first incident and now did a hard reset after the second one.

damn I'm pissed. I was messing around with my phone as usual, setting up pRSSreader and updating all the feeds/channels. I had the phone plugged into my PC because it gives me a faster connection. My connection went out however, and pRSSreader gave me an error. No big deal... so I tell it to update all channels again, and it freezes. I soft-reset the phone twice and it doesn't get past the 3rd boot screen (for me, the blue WM6 screen from mfrazzz's XM6r3 ROM which I'm currently using). Damn. hard reset was the only thing I could think to do.
What would you guys suggest I do incase it happens again?
I sure am getting better at having a list of programs to execute on a fresh install
First you need to figure out if its something that you installed to cause this to happen. There are programs that don't play well with WM6 (but those seem few and far between). Make a list of everything you install on top of the custom rom. If it happens again, you may want to give this a try (but I wouldn't use it until you have the issue again, so you know its something you have added and not this program itself ):

Its an alpha product (and I've never used it) but supposed to give you a SafeMode (like XP) so you can get back into your phone if software / regchanges go bad on you. SPB has similar, but I haven't used that (and not sure it works on WM6).
Unfortunately, if you are stuck in the 3rd splash screen there isn't much else you can do. You can try pulling your SD card and rebooting to see if that might fix the issue. Also don't be plugged into the USB cable when you reboot (I've seen programs like BatteryStatus hang on restart in the past if you are hooked to USB). Speaking of BatteryStatus, if you are overclocking (or using CPUscalar) try turning that off to see if the problem goes away.
Good luck, and let us know what you find...
Has anyone experienced their TP crashing during normal operation, and found the only way to recover is through a hard reset?
That's what happened to me last night. I'm running a stock HTC ROM that I upgraded when it came out (two weeks ago?) and the device was working without any problems up until then.
Last night though I was using Opera to browse a website and it suddenly became unstable. I closed Opera and found it wouldn't re-start so I performed a soft-reset. From this point on the device wouldn't go past the boot screen (displaying 'HTC Touch Pro' with the red version numbers - not even getting to the animation). I attempted to soft reset a few times (and even removed the battery for a while) but it still would not boot.
So I performed a hard-reset and restored a backup, whereupon it now seems ok again.
To give a little more info:
- the device was fully charged (had been on charge via USB all day)
- TF3D not installed - standard WM6.1 with SPB Phone Suite installed
- Browsing over wifi (bluetooth and HSDPA connection were also active)
- Running Opera 15613
- Just before the crash, a bug appeared whereby typing a single character into a website textbox (using the slide-out keyboard) would cause that character to be repeated a large number of times on screen - this has never happened before
I've always run the device with the stock HTC ROM and never had any issues like this.
Anyone had anything similar happen?
Yep, just had to hard reset then restore sprite...I was trying to play a song through tf3d and it froze. Soft reset only lead me up to the first screen that states radio version...yaddah yaddah yaddah...hard reset 'solved it'.
Does your phone got hot?
I had a problem while browsing over wifi. To boost the speed i changed power manegment to best performance in wifi settings and phone got hot in few minutes, opera crashed and soft reset didn't help either. But for me removing betery solved the case and also cooling the device a little.
hope this helps

It gets warm sometimes, however in this case I'd only been using the device for a few minutes, so I think it was still cold.
I tried removing the battery but that didn't help.
Seems to be behaving itself since then though.
I got the same problem nearly every day. After a few hours (up to 12) it gets frozen. Only hardreset was possible. I got this problem since a view months. I'm trying now to leave one after another program not installed after every necessary hardreset. Currently i'm suspecting either WM6.5 itself, vAlert or some other mortscript apps. For now i don't installed vAlert and there is no crash since over 24 h.
The following programs are innocent:
- tf3d
- pointui
- SmsReportsEraser
Surprisingly enough, I had the exact same problem just the other day. I got my TP about two weeks ago and was still looking around here learning the ropes of flashing etc and the differences between it and the Mogul. I kinda liked the business card reader that came on the stock rom and couldn't find it as a cab anywhere so I was undecided on flashing a new rom. I also didn't like the TF3d so I wasn't running it. I was using the regular win today screen with spb weather and Phone Suite installed. Worked fine like that for over a week. I got a text message on Tuesday and the TP froze up, so I did a soft-reset. It got frozen on the boot screen just as you described. Fortunately I was able to in hard-spl from the micro disk to unlock it, then I installed NFSFAN's custom rom, also from the micro disk.
Not related to the topic, but I really like how that new rom functions. I added the telus radio as well and now the battery at least makes it through the work day. Before I had to charge it mid day! Only thing I miss is that stupid business card program from the stock rom. If anyone can point me to a cab I'd really appreciate it. I get so many cards its a pain to enter them all manually.
Thanks,

I just started having this problem a couple of days ago. This has happened twice now. Warm-booting did start the reset process (I would get the splash screen), but it never got past that.
i think theres a thread about this somewhere. The cause isnt known but they are trying to pinpoint the problem. Bad rom chip, software problem etc
I've also have been affected by this and its a pain... having to setup the device again.
Mainly this problem has to do with tf3d2 in my case as i try to save a contact each time it will free. So i have to manually enter a phone number and store it.
I guess its better than a hard-reset
Hy,
I ve got the problem that suddenly my TP shows unusually hanging after a few minutes playing around. If i do a softreset then it hangs on the splash screen and nothing happens. I can do a hr then and the same story begins. After tast appeared i flashed some other roms to be sure that its not depending from the rom. Also i restored different backups, with all its the same... i fear that a part of the memory is defect ... Any ideas how to test the memory or other suggestions? thx in advance.... i dont want to use my microwave

Did this happen suddenly or did you do something before it happened (eg install something, etc)?
Mine just today won't turn on, I had it off all day and now it just sits on the splash screen.
Trying some things, if I figure anything out I'll let you know.
No, i didnt do anything special today or yesterday, but a week ago i set it up completly new, cause i had equal problems.... to set it up completly new with all progs and cosmetic "operations" costs me nearly one week so i dont want to do it again ...
If i find a way to solve, i will post here too

I flashed EnergyROM (booted into the tricolor screen by holding down Power and Volume Down), and it seems to be working.
Youre the lucky one, congrats...
I have a similar problem. The only change/new install is the updated version of Microsoft MyPhone. Now my TP will not connect to my telephone provider: T-Mobile. It just tries and tries but never connects.
Also, sometimes when I try to open any program, I get the error message that the certificate cannot be read. a soft reset fixes this but this problem is driving me crazy.
Is this another Microsoft update ****up?
same here: today more than 3 times problems with certificate or similar message ... thinking of the last timebomb in my old romeos rom ... was no fun..
Borisku,
Are you running Microsoft MyPhone? If so, did you do the software update within the past 4 days?
i do, but i didnt update ... ??? This morning my TP hung again, and i tried to sr it.... seemed to work until tp vibrates 3 times and then nothing anymore, no screen, no button, nothing
.... took out battery, left it out for 30 minutes, then i could HR again and restore my backup... since then no problems.... do you think it could run too long, getting too hot or something like this??
Greetz
Boris..
Edit: was too fast just 1 minute after i wrote that, tp hangs while in connection to active sync.... hr now, will test how it runs with pure romeos2 for 2 days now... rport follows
Edit II: The last days i always flashed from SD Card... i will now try to flash ROMEoS2 from PC ... maybe theres a difference, especially cause the text at the end of flashing from SD was confused. there were mor than one words at one place one the screen, and i found i typing on the screen RaphSimg.nbh, although the file is named as usual raphimg.nbh (without the "s" in the centre...)
I hope i m not too early: i think i solved the prob, maybe that helps somebody & prevents a tp from ending in a microwave
in preparing to bury my tp in the microwave i flashed back to the german stock rom or - correct - to the official update that can be loaded from the HTC Homepage; it contains not only the Rom but also radio & Splash Screen. I flashed it to my tp and was prepared to undo Hard SPL, but it gave it a chance.... and it ran like a VW beetle, flashed back to ROMeOS2, it runs.... i will wait till tomorrow & hope that it will not change to freeze or change clock Font colour partly as it did before...
Hope it will help somebody...
Greetz
Boris
Edit: its now 14th of december and it runs like a charm... seems like the failure is gone through flashing to stock ROM & then flashing ROMeOS again
Still is okay ...
Hello everyone
I'm having trouple running WM 6.5 on my HTC TYTN II.
After install it reboots and I can use it for the stuff I want. But when I've used it for some time (everything from 10 minutes to a days work), it hangs at some point. When it hangs I have to pull the battery and insert it again, which might be just fine if it remembered that I've already set up my phone and all my data is lost.
When I insert the battery again it boots and ask me to setup my phone, i.e. align screen, set clock (time is even reset) and so forth. I have to install all my apps (read: maybe 5) again, setup my exchange account and so on.
Can anybody help or have any ideas what to do?
After an install I do a hard reset and it boots.
I've installed a few releases, so I don't think it's related to that, but I could be wrong.
Thanks for any help!
Hi all. 1st post here.
I've been having a lot of trouble with my Galaxy Tab 2 lately. I rooted it a long time ago. Never had trouble with it. A few days ago, after charging it, I tried to start it, but when it starter, after a minute or so, it restarted. Normally the tablet only did that when it was froze due to many apps or processes being used at the same time. The problem is that the tablet never started properly after that one time. It's on some type of infinite loop. It starts, stays on for 1 or 2 minutes and then freezes and restarts. Well, i thought what most people would think at the moment: "I need to reset the tablet". I went to Recovery mod, made the format, but when the tablet rebooted, everything was untouched. No format. Odd to me. I then tried to return to stock. If it after that the problem was still there, at least I could be able to call for warranty. Odin gave me a lot of failed errors when I was trying but there was once that it said "Pass". Rebooted, still the same. Updated the recovery, tried to format, still the same. I'm running out of options right now. I don't really know what can be the problem and how can I fix it. I thought that if there was a way to format it like in recovery but using my PC it would do something (or not)
I appreciate any type of help.
