Emails locking up everything

Before I do a hard reset and have to re-set everything back up, I thought I'd ask if anyone has run into this problem before. I've had no problems with my Sprint Touch Pro before, but 2 days ago reading emails started locking up my phone completely. I can read one email and reply to it (or close it), but when I go to a second email (either by swiping from right to left, or opening an email later) it completely locks up my phone and I have to do a soft reset. This happens with both my work email (Direct Push) and my POP email addresses. Everything else seems to be working properly.
I've uninstalled anything that I've installed recently (Lumos, TickerTape, Skyfire, and Diamond SensorScroll), and that hasn't helped at all. I'm running a Stock ROM Sprint Touch Pro. I'm currently using the Fuze Flip Clock V7b1.
Any ideas would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Kevin

Alltel HTC Touch Pro not synching email

Hey all, I bought a HTC Touch Pro from Alltel back in December and have had zero issues with it till just recently. I ended up needing to do a hard reset and was able to back up all of my contacts/sms messages/etc... via another cab that I found on here. Since doing the hard reset, my msn.com email address is giving me crap when I try to sync it. When I say "giving me crap" I mean that it simply will not sync. When I hit the send/receive button, it goes straight to the "finished" notification, doesn't even appear to try to synch the folders at all. Also since the hard reset it automatically opens Windows Live, which it never did before. I created a gmail account just to see if it was an msn.com email issue. The Gmail inbox updates just fine, no issues at all, but the msn email just refuses to even try to sync. I'm not running any crazy roms/themes/cabs, all I have are the nocurtains, clear slider, and glass clock cabs installed, just purely visual cabs.
Anybody have any ideas on what I might be able to do to get windows live to stop opening automatically and get my msn email to actually sync? The msn email is my main one and I'd like to be able to access it on my phone. If my problem has been addressed here, I apologize, but I was unable to find it being addressed anywhere here or anywhere else for that matter. Maybe I'm just dumb and cant use the internet, but I was unable to find my answer elsewhere so I figured I could start a new thread and ask people who are more tech savvy than I am. Your help is greatly appreciated and I thank you all in advance.

Disappearing Favorite Contacts on Sprint WM 6.5

Since updating my Sprint HTC TP2 to WM 6.5 I've been randomly loosing one or more favorite entries off my contact list. I'll turn my phone off (not completely powered down), stick it in my pocket, pull it out later, turn on, hit contacts and see one or more empty boxes that once housed my Favorites. :-(
They are still in All People but it's a pain to always have to be adding them back.
Has anyone else seen this problem?

Yes, I am on a Verizon HTC TP2 and have the same issue ...............I think it is a SENSE issue.......

I think it's a google sync issue

I think this is a sync issue as well. I've noticed that once a contact is added as a favorite, it adds some code in the "note" section (which is not exactly the most elegant way to do this) that it seems to need in order to function properly. I am not happy about seeing this on the contacts on my computer, but if you mess with it at all, poof, it will be gone from the favorites page...

I see the HTC info on Favorites and Facebook in the notes section both on google contacts and my phone. I don't see why they seem to randomly disappear.

Since I never had the problem before going with WM 6.5 I don't see how it could be a Google Sync issue. I think it's probably a SENSE issue.
I'm currently looking at my Favorite contacts and 4 of the 9 are gone! I'm having to add back 2 to 3 a day. It's starting to get real annoying!
Does anyone have any suggestions on where I should run this down? I've talked to to the local Sprint Store........ I know, I know, but I am getting desperate.
Thanks.

I am in the same boat and it is literally driving me to the point that I want to just go back to 6.1... Any ideas?

I have no ideas. I can believe we are the only ones have issues.

I think it is a sync issue that is prevalent with the new ROMs version of Sense. I stopped using Google Sync and switched over to hosted Exchange, and the problem went away. I have friend that sees a very similar issue on her Android phone, so it isn't only occurring on WinMo.

"hosted Exchange", is this an alternative to Google Sync to sync my google stuff to my phone?

It happens to me often. It is usually the one in the top left position. In this case, my wife. It would be the one I call the most.. I don't use anything special except my very favorite NRG Rom w/ GTX. Maybe someone here can figure it out.

[Q] My Contact List Reset?!

Woke up today, went to my call history and noticed that it didn't list any names. Instead it had everyones phone number. When I clicked a number to dial, it showed their name. So I reset the phone, numbers still showed. I cleared the list, and dialed a new person. Everything back to normal.
Then, when trying to call someone later on today, I noticed something else. All the links that I had made (Live + Facebook contact) were unlinked.
Anyone have a clue why this happened, or has anyone else experienced it? I hate having to relink everyone again.

Glad to know I'm not the only one that had this happen
Went thru the same process of rebooting & pulled the battery
The call history just mysteriously lost all association to the names?
New calls are showing up ok
I'm guessing that some AT&T system reset is the culprit

I've noticed that very occasionally those contacts whose name doesn't exactly match their Facebook accounts become unlinked and I have to re-link them. I have no idea why that happens and have never been able to attribute a cause.

Although not the same, I am having a problem with my contact pics on the People tile on the homescreen. It looks as though all the pics I added myself are showing up as blue squares , Facebook pics are showing up ok. When I go into my contact list all pics show up correctly.

This happened to me too once, I figured it was just a bug... That and the call history being delayed at times... Calls won't show up for a few minutes randomly... Had only happened about two or three times.

I had the same problem last night, too.
I guess that it is the problem came from Hotmail server. It was corrupt when syncing and then all my contacts were reset and sync again. It made Live contacts and linked-facebook contacts unlink...
Cmon MS, hotmail must be stable like rock or user will have this problem again

HAd same Problem
Just about a hour ago all my contacts unlinked and i als lost all my home screen contacts they just vannished from my home screen.

Did not encounter this issue but I do agree MS should improve the live mail service...
At least make contact editing as good as gmail...

i also encountered this waking up this morning.

Are any of you guys using Micro-SD cards? That could possibly be the cause of the problem

i am on a trophy, so yes, it's built into the phone with a micro SD. given the amount of people who all experienced this at about the same time, i would say it would be something to do with the server.

I have the phone over a month and not having this problem so far until yesterday... So I dont think it is the SD Card problem...
/I have a HD7

About 2 minutes after my first post I noticed that this exact problem had happened to me (my gf had called, and in the call history it simply listed her number and not her name). I remembered that last night while configuring my email settings, under my windows live account it said "not synced" or something like that. Naturally, I did a long press and hit "sync." When it synced, it must have for some reason set everything back to default. This was probably the cause of my problem; I agree it must be some sort of Hotmail/Windows Live sync issue.

Happened to me too, 4x already. My Samsung Focus Windows Live contact becomes unlinked with my previously linked facebook contacts everytime i will sync in hotmail tile. I am annoyed as I have to linked my facebook contact with windows live contacts everytime. Do you have any idea why is this so?

Could someone send this feedback to MS?... Cause my English is not good enough...

I'm on the Omnia 7, bought it especially not to have microSD problems. And seeing how it all happened in this past day, it's gotta be a Windows Live problem. Unless we all installed the same person
It's kinda freaky, Microsoft being in total control, they could just brick all our phones overnight while we sleep.

Throw my hat in the ring too...all contacts in calls list appear as phone number and all contacts/facebook links unlinked. Not too big of a deal but kinda weird.

Happened to me too over the weekend. HD7 with original SD card. Lost my contact tiles from my start screen, lost all links between contacts and facebook friends where the names weren't the same.
If this happens again I'm going to change all my contact names to match the facebook names so they match themselves up, because doing it manually is a pain.

I had exactly the same problem for the first time yesterday. Weird.

Add me to the list. Also emails I deleted on my Hotmail inbox are still showing up on the phone.

Strange Email sync issue with multiple accouts using Samsung Omnia Win7 phone - HELP

Hi,
this is a strange question and a bizzare event thats occuring but i am hoping someone will be able to clear this up for me.
Basically i have had troubles with battery life on my windows 7 phone, its a samsung omnia on the orange network in the uk. This has ONLY been an issue since i upgraded to the Mango update last wednesday.
What i am finding is that my emails are syncing every 30mins or so despite being set to manual update only. I added 3 email accounts to my phone each via the windows live account addition option, i set them to each manually update only and only sync email not contacts/meetings etc... the mad thing is the main acount that is used under my people contact and the main hotmail/live account that is in use with the phone itself seems to stick at only updating when i tell it to sync (i have to click the refresh style sync button within the email screen) however the other two accounts after about 12hours start to go haywire and whilst they start out by syncing manual as soon as i have synced them manually once, after this they just update whenever they want too (every 30mins it appears)... i have tried a reset of the phone and starting from scratch but again eventually this flaw just keeps occuring! over and over, no matter how many resets i do
Its a real pain to be honest, when i first updated to mango i did link all the accounts together as there is an option to band all your accounts into the single hotmail livetile on the homescreen, i changed this option and decided against it, trouble is i cant remember if this issue happened then, im still pretty sure it did, its almost like the other two accounts have a mind of their own, is there any explanation as to what this could possible be?
I have tried to a rollback of my current firmware but it ended up bricking my phone so now it has gone in for a repair under warrenty to samsung, maybe it could have been a dodgy install of mango from day one? as my friend updated and he has the same phone yet hasnt experienced this email flaw, but then again he only has two accounts on his phone
Could it be the manual option no longer works in mango update?
many thanks for reading and hope someone can help, many thanks
