so basically i haven't had any problems with the phone yet, i switched it off last night, got up this morning and switched it on and it froze on the black screen where it's supposed to say 'loading touchflo 3d' or something? i don't think it actually reaches that part though. i can see the start button, icons, and bottom menu but it's frozen. everytime i restart this happens now. what should i do :/
edit: is there any way of retrieving my contacts (if i can't actually load into windows)? ..before hard resetting
nevermind i'm too impatient, did the hard reset and the device seems to be working fine so far
Yeah theres a website through Microsoft...its in beta but works..
It allows you to backup all your contacts, emails, txts, pictures etc to your microsoft hotmail storage....

Hope that helps for future issues.

Okay. I have had this same problem at least once on three different devs' WM roms. It happened first with VJ's WM6 3.2, then again on 3.4, then again on 3.7. Then it happened once with Nitro's WM6. Now, just last night, it happened again on GnatGoSplat's WM6.1s.
I have no idea what causes it. I can't replicate the problem. I just notice it after it happens.
I'll get to where I'm going and take my phone out of the holster, switch it from Vibrate to Normal, and set it down. Then I'll either receive a call or message, or else I'll pick up the phone to send one, and notice that it's still on Vibrate. Oops, must've forgotten to put it on Normal. So I switch it to Normal. It says "Normal" for about a second, but the Vibrate icon stays put, and then it switches from "Normal" to "Vibrate" by itself.
When this happens, I can't figure out how to get it back into Normal mode. Soft reset, hard reset, pull-the-battery. Nothing. The only thing I can do is re-flash the ROM.
But here's where it gets interesting. After all this happens, when I plug the phone into the computer via USB (WinXP), ActiveSync starts up, connects, and then pops up a dialog box that says ActiveSync cannot synchronize with the device. The AS window still shows it as being "Connected" but not "Synchronized". I can explore, copy, move, whatever. I can even reflash the OS. Which I do.
And then all is well.
Until it happens again.
Kicker: When it happened to Nitro's WM6, it was the same day Gnat released his 6.1, so I flashed that instead. And when he updated it and fixed a few things, I flashed that one. And I used it 24-7 without even a soft reset from the day it was released until approximately a week ago, when I installed moalesipufos' 6.1Pro RC4, just to test it out. It lasted all of an hour until I decided I just couldn't figure out the interface and wanted my GGS6.1s back. So I reflashed Gnat's ROM onto the phone.
A week later I get this.
So that was a long and (probably) boring description of my problem, but as it is so random and confusing, I wanted to make it as clear as possible in the hopes that someone, anyone, would read it and have some clue what the problem is - including whether it's user error or an ID=10T error.
So. Anything?
Thanks a ton!
hi guys, well i just woke up not to long ago hearing my TP restarts by its self, when it did, the task bars were like grey instead of the EnergyROM theme, my Lumos icon looked bizerk and the screen was at full brightness, the connection wizard was launched for some odd reason, scrolled to my Pictures tab and i found like 4 pictures that looked blank O_O, i decided to shut off my phone and guess what? it wouldnt by pass the boot screen, i had to hard reset it manually....what could cause this problem? did anyone else had this problem?
yea, i got the same problem earlier, but only the restart part. everything else is fine.
This may be nonsense but I'm beginning to get a suspicion about S2U2 potentially being the cause of data connectivity issues for me.
I'm hoping I'm wrong because it's such a great program and I've used it on my last couple of phones.
Basically when I had my Touch HD, I had to reboot it pretty much daily if I wanted my data connection to work, otherwise I would get connectivity problems, but they would always be solved by a reboot.
I never figured out why this was, even though it was mega annoying. In the end I installed a cab to do a scheduled reset each night and it helped quite a bit.
Since I got my HD2 it has behaved perfectly as far as data is concerned and has not had a single connection fail with use every day for emails & browsing, UNTIL I installed S2U2 yesterday late afternoon, then last night it failed to connect. Yes you've guessed it, a reboot solved it.
I know that's hardly conclusive and I'm hoping it's not the case as I love using this program as an unlock screen, but I was wondering if anyone else has had any problems like this?
I was wondering if it was somehow also linked to my carrier too. The reason for this is that my friend also had a Touch HD and used S2U2 and never had this problem but he uses a different phone company. He now also has the HD2, and has installed S2U2 again and is fine, but mine is acting up, so it seems weird that it happens to both my phones but neither of his....
I know I could remove it to see if the problem goes away but programs sometimes leave bits behind when you uninstall.
Cheers
Jim
I get problems either daily or bi-daily where I have to reboot my HD2 to get my data connection to work again, (its connected but doesn't work). Every time its solved by a reboot.
I dont have S2U2 installed. If you find the reason behind the issue let me know as I am about to start doing a search into it.
Hmmm, maybe it's just coincidence then. But why would it have worked perfectly up to that point though, that's the thing that makes me wonder.
Mine also appears to be fine in terms of still displaying the GPRS signal/sign, but trying to retrieve emails or open the browser etc gives an error. It's maddening, whatever causes it!
Same thing again this morning when I told the phone to get my emails - connection failed. Worked fine after a reboot.
I'll see what happens tomorrow. If it does it again then I'm going to uninstall S2U2 and see what happens from then onwards. If it doesn't fix it then I guess it'll be a hard reset on the cards....
Back to original HD2 screen lock from 2SUS
Dear all,
Can tell how to change back to original lock after installed disable the screen lock? I don't like 2SUS needed so long to slide...
Just uninstall it, then press your windows button and hit the lock softkey.
I've removed it myself tonight even though I'm a long term S2U2 fan.
Since installing it a few days ago I've had even worse problems with ghost unlocks than before.
Previously the only issue was accidentally cutting calls off, but with S2U2 in use (standard lock disabled) I had a text from a friend on Friday asking if I was drunk. Somehow, whilst locked in my pocket it unlocked and sent a gibberish sms!
Then today, it also somehow unlocked in my pocket and dialled my mum!
I'm just glad I wasn't playing Call of Duty when it happened or she would have just heard "Sh1t!!! You cheating f***!!! WTF??? You..... FFS!!!!" etc
But seriously - I love S2U2 from previous winmo phones but it's made my HD2 worse so I've uninstalled it tonight sadly.
Isn't there a working fix for these bastard hard buttons yet? I LOVE this phone but the bloody hard keys are ruining it.
Hi Cret,
Thank you so much for your response. I did remove 2SUS and selected the Screen Lock from pressing the Power buttom but it doesn't auto lock each time...
Can you tell what to do such change Registry or I need to restore the original setting?
Thank you, dude.

he wanted it back... not disable...
Go to HKCU\ControlPanel\Keybd and change DeviceLockWhenSuspend to 1
This should re-enable the lock...
Thank you very much!
I will try to see it works on my HD2.
Mine was the same ie the lock would not return.
I already had BSB tweaks installed which had a toggle for the lock though, so I just activated that.

Hi, did uninstalling S2U2 help on the connection failures?
Well, I only removed it last night but so far yes. I have not had to reboot the phone this morning and the data is working flawlessly.
Also - and this is a biggie! The battery life on the phone is MILES better without S2U2.
Normally the phone would be down to about 70% by lunchtime without even doing anything and it's still on 96% now - that's a massive improvement!
However, one thing has occurred to me as a possible cause of these issues - I've realised I was using a very old version of the program - v 1.5.
I think I'll try the latest one - 2.22 and have a look through the changelogs to see if there's anything mentioned in there along these lines.

Here's two fixes right away in the next version relating to battery use:
- fixed the v1.50 issue of occasionally high CPU usage during idle.
- save more power than the old version when the device is sleeping.
v1.6
- removed option "Power Save" as the power leak problem is found & fixed.
I can't really be arsed reading through the rest of it but it's obvious there have been power issues addressed by subsequent versions so I'll try the latest and see how it goes.
Hi everyone, I hope someone can help me.
I just upgrade to the offical Verizon ROM to WM 6.5 and I'm having some issues.
The main problem: I take my phone off of sleep mode or stop it from entering just prior to and my TF3D home screen shows but the banner reads "messaging" instead of "start" like I'm in my messages and the virtual keyboard will pop up. This also happens 85% of the time when I recieve a new txt/mms not with emails however. This is a new development I;ve had the ROM since launch.
Before I call VZW and get stuck on hold for 50 years I figured i would see if anyone else has this issue or knows of a .cab that might fix the issue. I have had luck with .cabs in the past for other issues.
Side note, has anyone successfully stopped the clock from flipping an hour and two minutes? I have checked the fourms downloaded all the .cabs and nothing seems to actually stop it.
I am in the exact same boat as you my friend. I am also having diffuculty locating a background for all tabs .cab and a working rotator for all screens that functions in the VZ TP2 6.5update

I have a very similar problem to you my friend. When I check my messages (txt or emails) and close out of them the Messaging will pop up like yours, although my keyboard doesn't show up. Sometimes it takes 5 seconds sometimes 30 seconds.
My main issue is it will turn my screen back on when this happens. So if I read a txt and close it and I don't wait for it to pop up, my screen will stay on. It's killing my battery life and some funky things happen when its in my pocket turned on..
Any idea if anyone has come across a solution to this?
I have been running CleanROM Seven for sometime without any problem or issues. In the last few weeks it has been glitching something awful! The screen blinks whenever I try to load an app or really do anything at all. Sometimes it blinks between the old and the new screen (like when swiping from page to page I'll see the page I was on and the page I am going to back and forth very quickly). Other times I see vertical stripes that alternate from the screen and black bars.
Restarting the phone worked for a while and then it stopped working, so I reflashed the ROM and that worked for a week or so and now it's back. I really, really, really want to avoid any kind of reset that involves the removal of my contacts or anything of that nature (I always back up before a reset, and I always end up missing stuff like contacts that I had). Either a fix to this problem or a ROM that I can flash without having to reset would be great.

You can't really flash a new ROM without wiping because then you'd face a whole new set of issues.
If you're missing contacts, back them all up to Google through settings/accounts/Google/check contacts. That will help you avoid anything with contacts.
For apps, back them up with titanium backup, but only backup user apps and data. Do not backup system data or apps as this will cause issues as well.
My suggestion would be to do these things I've suggested, then nandroid backup, then wipe and flash bonestock. Its probably the stablest ROM around. Also the developer is really awesome and keeps up with most of the stuff.
Outside of that stuff, I can't really help you. Unfortunately there's not a safe way to flash without wiping.

the reason why we recommend that you wipe the device is that one rom might have features that won't work on another rom. there are other things that end up happening.
