(Another) Problem with stock Sprint WM6.5 - Touch Pro2 CDMA

After flashing the official Sprint Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM I seem to be having an issue with text messaging. After I exit a message thread to return to the message list, it freezes up for a moment. Nearly crippling, but I'm not the type to complain. What is a major annoyance, and the actual reason I'm here, is that if my screen shuts off during this performance stutter the power button/phone becomes unresponsive and I have to take the battery out before I can use it again.
Any help would be appreciated.

tmail.exe is crashing quite frequently along with these problems. Causes a feedback "loop", only way to get out of it is to press the Windows hardware key and use task manager to kill it.

I was having similar issues after flashing, I would suggest a Hard Reset and see if that helps. I have found many times in the past that a hard reset after a flash can cure a lot of issues.

A lot of times old install and ROM information can get stuck on your memory, causing issues like this. Always reset your device a couple times, even remove the battery for 30 seconds and then clear your memory. It all helps to ensure your latest ROM flash is as efficient as possible.

I think the issues may be in this version of Sense UI.

sprint 6.5 roms issues
check you task manager and use cleanram frequently..you can set up clean ram to run periodically...

Sense UI issue with large contact directory
I use the RAM Cleaner and task bar frequently. I found that my device Locks up when I try to use anyone of the people in the contact tab. I synch with an exchange server and have over 1000 contacts in my contact list. When the phone freezes it needs a battery removal to get out of that state.
So I tried a few things.
1- I disabled the people tab and am using speed dial.
2- Installed SPB MB 3.5.3 ( phone is very stable and fast with this app, but I am used to the SENSE UI and would prefer it to work the way it should.)
My instincts tell me something is wrong wiht this ROMs Manilla files when it comes to the contacts tab. I am interested to see if others using exchange Server are experiencing the same issue.
PS: This is my second device. Sprint replaced my original TP2 and the problem still persists.

Screen get to Bright and stop communicate

Don't know how to name my problem, so...
when I'm writing messages, sometimes screen get to bright and I cannot send, cannot phone, nothing. When I turn off Uni, and turn it on again, it ask me for a password - I don't have any password.
I tried to slow down CPU, I tried to minimize file system cach... still don't know, where's the problem. Now, I think, the amout of messages mayby the problem. So, I deleted half of them and wait, what happened.
Does anyone have similar experience?
I've realised that the problem is caused by outlook (mean sms|emails messanger). The program is named tmail.exe. When I shut this program by taskmanager, the screen get normal and other function too. Even phone (lastly i forgot to write, when I get this bug, and try to open phone, i get error message (this program does not cooperate)).
I found, that this ROM - Tomal (Ranju) 7.7 is made from Wizard ROM - maybe this is the prob.
Does someone know what's happening? And how to get it normal. I think (but have not prove it yet), that after flash it is normal. And couple of days after, all is getting worse. Only what I've installed after flash was SPB pocket plus and Tom Tom 6. No other programs.
i had the same problem in one of the earlier roms i tried....
It can be quite frustrating for sure! Try other roms and see what works, I couldnt find what the problem was and i just moved on to another rom!
San
I tried also TOMAL 8.2 rom. And the problem doesn't dissappear.
Maybe it's collision between SPB pocket plus and WK task manager. So I turn off Wk task manager (which is preinstalled with TML rom) and see what happend.
So... noone has suggestions?
i have seen this in every rom i used. somewhere here somebody even posted photos of his uni while this happened. probably reason for this is a some low-level os bug which lead to this thing, maybe overflow of some cache because for me this happened only when i was typing a lot, no matter which program i used, the result was the same. the only solution i found is to soft-reset your device every hour even if everything seems to be ok at that moment.

Touch Pro crashed - needed hard-reset to recover

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

Problem with runaway HTC driver slowing down Touch Pro

Ok, this one has me baffled. About a week ago my Touch Pro, with the stock Sprint ROM, started running very slow. At first I thought it was GPS related as the last software I had installed (earlier that weekend) was GPS Tuner.
After uninstalling all of my GPS related software with no improvement, I downloaded MemMaid and was able to determine that device.exe was running at anywhere between 75%-100% CPU usage. Unfortunately, that still left open a lot of possible source to the problem, so I decided to backup what I could and perform a hard reset.
I tried the "Clear Storage" method first, and when that did not fix the problem I used the HW keys to reset. Even after two hard resets device.exe was still abusing my CPU, so I tried reflashing the stock ROM...
No improvement.
So I tried flashing NSFFAN's WM6.5 ROM...
No improvement.
So I tried reflashing the stock Radio...
No improvement.
At this point I discovered SKTools and, through a little trial and error, was able to pinpoint the problem driver to HTCNavi.dll. If I stop this driver from running, device.exe goes back to normal CPU usage, which would be great except that I'm no longer be able to use the Home, Back, Talk or Hang-Up buttons.
I have also tried NavDbgTool.exe, thinking that maybe the buttons were sending erroneous messages to the OS, but even that seems to be a dead end as all buttons and touch surfaces responded appropriately and no unintended behaviors were observed.
Has anyone else run across this problem? Does anyone have any suggestions?
Thanks,

HELP! Verizon Touch Pro2 freezing frequently

I have the Verizon Touch Pro2 and it is freezing frequently. It seems like the freezes happen around text messaging (send/read a text, close the slider). The phone will redraw after rotate ONCE, then never again. Sometimes it recovers, sometimes I have to pull the battery. This happens very, very frequently. I was wondering if anyone out there knew about this problem.
ROM: WM 6.5 Verizon shipped rom
Installed stuff:
Microsoft MyPhone
Gougelet PE XnView Pocket
Microsoft .NET Compact Framework 3.5
no2chem 1-Percent Battery
soft4vn.net Chinese Keyboard Font
Microsoft Windows Marketplace
Chien Homescreen Customizer
Skyfire
ScanLife
Facebook
Google Maps
mobIT Message Sentinel
I am using the non-Sense homescreen because before my hard reset it was freezing all the time. Now after the hard reset, after a reinstallation, the problem persists even on the new Windows Default home screen! What gives?
Please let me know if you have ANY ideas as to the cause. I concede that I may have to go through and un-install everything and try again, but maybe someone's knowledge can point me to the cause or tell me what I can try?
Sometimes when you flash a new ROM you do not uninstall all the old files and registry settings. When you flash your phone perform the following steps:
1. Clear Storage
2. Flash to a Stock ROM
3. Clear Storage
4. Flash your radio (if applicable)
5. Clear Storage
6. Flash your ROM
7. Clear Storage
NOTE: Do not use the hard-reset key press. This actually cannot wipe the phone as thoroughly as the builtin WM Clear Storage setting.
Taken from here:
http://forum.ppcgeeks.com/showpost.php?p=1661617&postcount=1287
Before the final clear remove your battery for 30 seconds to fully cycle the phone. Does it freeze while using WM SMS interface as well as HTC SMS interface?
Ah, I see. This was a hard reset due to another problem where my company-mandated PIN entry bugged out and made my PIN stop working, which has the policy to wipe the phone after 10 unsuccessful attempts. Which type of hard reset would that use, you think?

It is hard to say, but if the phone is still on when the hard reset is performed then most likely it uses the one the WM Clear Storage. You should also perform a hard reset before re-configuring your phone, just to re-assure that all the files have been deleted. So once that program from your company finishes and the phone reboots, go to the phone settings and clear the storage again.
BTW, I noticed the same issue on my TP2 with the vzw stock rom. You might want to give this a try:

Download the correct version or your phone may stop liking you.
I have the same problem, showed it to a Verizon QA manager, a Windows Rep, and a HTC rep and all said they hadn't seen it. I'm trying the cab from ppcgeeks, hopefully it works. I have no other issues but the messaging
I even did:
Reset
S/w
Reset
but to no avail :/

[Q] Screen lock software stalls Messaging

I was using S2U2 as a screen lock application while running Windows Mobile 6.1 on my HTC Touch Pro 2. In the beginning everything worked smoothly, and S2U2 was exactly the program I needed. However, after I while, I started experiencing problems with my text messaging applications. Text messages would not come in, only the screen would wake up. Then, if I unlocked the phone with S2U2, the first stuck text message would come in. Later, as the problem progressed, text messages would not come in even after the unlock. I would have to open any other program, close it, and then the next SMS would come in. And so on. It came to a point where I was going off my mind, and I couldn't figure out where the source of the problem is.
It seemed as it is either a software problem or a system problem. Because of all the problems I decided it's time to upgrade to Windows Mobile 6.5. I was confident that this would stabilize everything. Unfortunately, after restoring all programs and settings from a backup program, it was even worse. I was very disappointed. This meant that the problem is with some software, and trying to figure out which one is a major job. But I had no choice. I made another hard reset and started re-installing all programs one by one, while monitoring performance in order to pinpoint the bad guy.
Guess what? I installed everything I had before and it works very fine. The only program I did not install is S2U2. I suspected this one is causing all the trouble, but I had no evidence. Now I do. I need this program desperately, but I'm afraid to re-install it, because I'm sure it will start all the problems again...
Later, I found another similar program (but not free) - Pocket Shield. So I installed this program. Worked nicely, but sure enough, after a day or 2, the same problems started to resurface again!
I guess after all, it must be something in the code that both programs use that clogs up the system.
Right now, I'm totally lost. I desperately need a screen locker because my phone does all kind of weird stuff on its own while in my pocket, but I'm afraid to install any of these programs, as I'm sure it will mess everything up again!!
Any help will be greatly appreciated!!! Thanks in advance...
