wizard problem pls take a look

i'm using a htc wizard with the tnt 5.0 rom, it's been running amazingly fast and smooth, i love it but all of the sudden in the past week, i can't really figure out why but, i reset(soft) my phone once and it sat there forever on the wm6 splash, so i pulled the battery for a few seconds, and reinserted and turned it on, it came on fine, the clock/calender is set to some random time and random day/month of 2006, and if i set the clock to correct date/time/year the hourglass type thing shows up and stays there for a while, i press end and it goes away, but the phone runs super slow, so i soft reset and then it sits there, at wm6 splash and never finished booting up even after 20 minutes, so i pull battery, and repeat, minus chanigng the clock and if i leave the date/time to 2006, it works fine, does this make any sense to anyone? how can i fix this possibly ?

Please make your text readable....
Have you tried to reflash your phone?

it makes vague sense but you need to work on your grammar a little
Reflash your phone, make sure you followed all the steps. Thats all i can recommend until you put more info in a reply

I'm going to try re-flashing it, but as far as working on my grammar, I don't see how anyone would have any problems understanding what I typed. lol. Unless of course english isn't your first language ?
Maybe the problem is so abnormal there isn't much more info I can include to make any more sense. I described exactly what the problems were.

Surely you Jest. There wasn't a single Period (.) in your entire first post. Apparently you realized and corrected that error in your second post. But to claim that there was nothing wrong with it was wrong.
Flash with an official ROM, that should take care of the issue

yeah it happened to me once or twice. I just reset the date.

No grammar problems. Very understandable for one single, long run-on sentence. Really this isn't Language Arts. I had NO PROBLEM understanding you.
I'd do a HARD reset before I resorted to reflashing.
Maybe you should pay a SINTAX for your lack of SYNTAX hehe

I understood because I encountered the same problem. Except I encountered it because my phone was CPU-scaled at a time I didn't know how and I had a heavy start-up program running.
So far the only solution was that I reflash to official ROM, then back to cooked ROM. And now every time I reboot my device, I'm mindful of the 3rd boot loading time.
Therefore I just believe that you have to be mindful about the stuff that's on your phone and see what contributes to a slow or non-responsive boot time. Our phone's are computers, and therefore computer's never last.

I can't understand for the life of me why some of are flaming this guy for making a run on sentence... Last time I checked this wasn't 12th grade english class, it was a forum for a bunch of WM fanatatics to gather together and create great things.... I mean come on...
And to reply to the first post, I could understand you 100% for the record.
I think you need to hard-reset your phone. Just hold the comm manager and voice button while resetting with your stylus and press the send key when it prompts you to. Simple enough.

eject your storage card before resetting, and put it back after your device started up completely...this will not always help, but it did work for me

Keyboard

Had my TP for just over 2 months now and when i slide out the keyboard to write a sms i start typing and nothing shows up, the curors doesn;t even more along as i type. It will only sometimes work in Notes and i used excel earlier today and had to type and the curosr moved along with each button press but wouldn;t show the text. I had to move down a row to actually see what I typed.
Thanks

Neil

mine did the same thing
when I first got mine a few weeks ago, it did the same thing. I cant tell you what caused it happen though
I search through all of the programs I had installed that effect performance and eventually did a hard reset and it started working normally.
I also had an issue with programs running very slow and the tf3d lagged bad. You should flash your rom, it makes a world of difference. If you decide to do it, look through all of your installed programs from the factory rom and make a list of what you want to keep... not all roms have everything you need installed. Then just download all the programs back to your new rom. I used NATFs V2.3 and am really happy with it.
BTW I am a newb and have never done anything like that to a phone before... I just followed the instructions on the Rom development page (sticky) and it was a breeze.
you should do it

Thanks Mike for your help.
What worries me is what would I do if for any reson I need to send the phone back to Vodafone?
I have asked for a link to the defaul Vodafone Touch Pro rom on here but nothing has turned up.
I am also just worried about doing the whole flashing thing as I just don;t really want to break it

If you follow the steps in the stickies, you wont mess up your phone. I am not sure about the vodaphone rom... would it really matter to the company what rom you have if you warranty is covering a broken component of the phone. Just drop it in a bucket of water and claim the insurance taht way??? Maybe someone else can chime in.

X7510 Keeps Locking Up

Hey folks,
I have been having a lot of problems with my X7510 lately. The screen keeps locking up in standby mode. When the device is in standby I turn it on and it prompts me for my password. After putting in my password I just get a black screen with the word "password" at the top. While the device is in this state I can still sync (and see all of the files on it) when I connect to my computer. The screen on the device, however, is locked up. This problem has been happening several times a day lately and I cannot receive calls when it happens (nor do I get any indication of missed calls). The only way to get the X7510 to work is to do a soft reset.
At first I thought it might have something to do with the password manager, so I turned the password off today. A couple of hours later I found it locked up anyway. When I pressed the power button it did not come on at all, though the GSM and BT/WIFI lights continued to flash.
Is anyone having this issue? Were you able to figure out what was causing the problem? I am very frustrated right now. My device locks up so much that it is practically unusable since I have to do a reset 2-4 times a day.

Yes- I'm seeing the same issue from time to time. Haven't had time to investigate yet.
Last time it happened was yesterday- Green and Amber lights were flashing, but all buttons unresponsive, and had to do a soft reset.
Running PocketPlus 4.03 as a front end.

That is probably a software issue. Better enumerate your softwares and find out the common one causing it. Usually start with the last one you installed prior to having the problem.

I agree it's definitely a software issue. The only recent addition for me has been Spb Keyboard. PP4.03 has been on since day one, and did not initially seem to be associated with lockups.
When I have time, I'll try and narrow it down a bit.

I have not installed any new software in over six weeks. The only thing that has changed in the last week is an update to IM+. I have uninstalled it completely and will see what happens. If this fails I am not sure what to do.

Just for the record, I don't use any sort of Instant Messaging!

With my Advantage on the ultra-extreme blinks I suffered the tortures of the damned, tortures of the damned. No less than once every couple of hours I'd find my device locked up. Upon direction from my kind forum mates, I decided to uninstall the last software change on the not-so trusty X7510. After removing the IM+ software the PDA still locked up two more times that day. I gave up hope and decided to do an hard reset.
The next day, however, it did not hang up at all. The same goes for today, so after locking up five times a day for a week I have not locked up once in the last 48 hours. No hard reset and all is viddy well, little brother, Viddy well.
Unsure if it was the IM+ update or not, since it locked up twice after the uninstall, but I will not be reinstalling the IM+ update. In the name of science, I will install the original version this afternoon and see what happens.
Most gracious thanks to all those who took time out to reply to this thread.

I can concur that 3rd party software running in the background is usually the culprit.
In my case, I'm having an on-going saga with Hebrew localization bought from P.D.A.C. If I put the device to "sleep", with the email program set to download every 15 minutes (via wifi - no SIM installed), I come back to find a device that will turn on when the power button is pressed (a bit longer than usual), but then no response from any hardware button or screen - a soft reset via the hole in the back is the only way out.
I can in general say that the localization has other problems, like slowing the device down, and generally causing unpredictable hangs, but I'll save that for another thread.
To their credit, PDAC have taken a stab at trying to fix it, but since they don't have (and apparently don't intend to purchase) an HTC 7510 for testing, it's become a slow, hit-or-miss proposition.
One of the problems for gadget fiends like me who are not programmers is choosing a device that isn't massively popular - the support by third-party developers is not adequate. So here I find myself trying to learn how to fix what should work properly out-of-the-box.....and being frustrated by lack of background/knowledge.

Had this lockup problem since i received the device.
The other week in an attempt to fix this i have flashed to the latest 3.29 Rom from cmonex (thanks!) with ExtRom 3.29. As i have a Chinese x7510 version this ExtRom has fixed Opera text block problem, but still had constant lockup after putting unit into sleep mode.
Yesterday, i tried option 'Do not lock buttons' in Key Lock under Settings. Since I have not had one single lockup! Even having in sleep overnight, hit power button and up pops today screen. Normally i would have to soft reset.
This is what i have done so far. I'll have to start installing apps and see how it goes...

G'day from LA
Hi AvantX,
Another Aussie here, but living in LA for the last 7 years.
I loaded cmonex's hard SPL on to my x7510 some time ago, but so far I've been loathe to load an other ROM on to my x7510 as I have been unclear on the return path to the stock rom in the evet of a mishap. I've been hoping to see some ROM development on this forum similar to Kaiser & TyTN but so far we have not seen too much, other than the promise of AP4 amd MichyPrima's ROM somewhen.
Can you show here some screen shots of the 3.29 ROM? Does it look the same as the stock ROM and how does it run compared to the stock ROM? The stock ROM is 3.27.405.3 - is 3.29 an improvement? Does loading 3.29 affect the radio - mine is 1.58.
Thanks mate in advance.

Data problems related to S2U2??

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.

Touch pro 2 Keeps freezing and becomes unusable, Please Help

I Have a Sprint TP2.
I delved into Roms last week when i got my TP2. I tried the r13 rom first and liked it, but at some point when I tried to turn my phone back on it wouldn't. I tried everything, even restarting the phone. It just didn't respond any more so I had to hard format. Then i tried installing Mighty Rom.
I got it customized and everything. It worked nearly perfectly. The only problem I had was that it drained the battery REALLY quickly (like 1 percent per minute) sometimes and i figured something might be running in the background. But today, it's doing the same thing as the r13 rom.
Some programs I have installed are:
Cookie's home tab editor
Skyscape medical programs
Batti
1% battery cab
No-push internet
tree size pro
pandora
slacker radio
clean rom
and some more i can't remember at the moment.
Does anyone have any tips on how i can fix this for good? Or should I just keep trying roms and hope that it will fix it.
Is this a known problem?
Thanks.

It is something you have installed. hard reset and try the rom without anything installed. Then slowly install until you find he bad program.

thanks for the reply.
i used task 29. reinsralled mighty rom then did a hard reset last night. all is well so far. im adding stuff back very slowly to see how it goes.

Did you run task 29 before those two first installs?? A lot of times those hangs can be from not cleaning out the old flash fully. I run task 29 and then clear storage anytime I install a new ROM.
Here is a great thread about batterylife in general:

Just a question, is your error similar to the Sleep of Death, where the phone will not wake when you sleep the phone?

yes it is similar to the sof but worse. in sod a restart fixes it. for mine i couldnt do anything until i did a hard reset. i should say that i was also getting sod before this but i could deal with that by opening the keyboard or restarting at times.
