Hi,
My Vox/S710 is not working fine:
1- Doesn´t boot with the Micro SD Card instaled. I have to remove it to phone start.
2- Too slow, and i dont use several programs at the same time.
3- Alarm starts by himself!
I´m using WM6 Standard. I never try to replace the rom.
Please, help! ( sorry for my english).
It happens with the original Standard WM6 ROM.
Try any of the Custom ROM's from this forum..... all your problems will be solved.
The shipped ROM is also working fine for me. You should try the following first:
Soft Reset the phone on a regular base (once a day) - this will keep memory fragmentation minimal. -> Switch off/on once a day.
Run chkdsk on your memory card. Put in a card reader on the PC and execute chkdsk <drive:> /f on the commandline
Always really close programs when you start another. WMPlayer is a big memory hog, other programs may be as well. Use the Taskmanager to close them.
For the alarms check if the notification queue has some zombies left. Use sktools to clean that up.
If that all does not help only then consider a hard-reset. This will factory reset your device and delete all installed programs as well as data you have entered (contacts, email, text-messages, everything on the device). The device is then from software side in the state like new out of the box.
Putting another ROM on the device will be like a hard reset + you have a new ROM with some problems solved and others probably created. You could go for that only after you did a hard reset anyway.

Okay, here is the story... Sometimes I just want to soft reset my Tornado to close those "unclosable" apps like MSN Messenger. So I wrote this little program to help me. Now I don't have to turn off the phone and turn it on again just in order to do a soft reset.
I'd like to share it. Haven't been tested on Tornados other than mine. Use it at your own risk.
Just extract the exe from zip, copy it to your Tornado, run from File Manager... you can also create a shortcut for it. :roll:
B.T.W, It DOES NOT work on Windows Mobile 2003 platform. So don't bother to try.
It's updated. No more stupid ARE YOU SURE question.
Few question asked (ok ? Yes ? are you sure ? )
But work ok for me
Maybe turned OFF Button and turned ON Button will be shorter don't you think ?
Thanks anyhow
edit : on the second RUN less question Asked. Only one actually "Would you like to Soft reset"
I guess other question was the Win Mobile 5 things when you first run a new APPZ 8)
Bonjour. It's updated.
I just made it for fun.
Planning to add scheduled reboot function. So it can reboot in midnight, and you get fresh memory for a new day.
Any other ideas are welcome!
If you are havign trouble making registry settings place documents and mail on the storage card because boot-up doesn't find the card fast enough, then maybe soft reset will help.
I will try. Thanks.
Well, I believe CeleTask free memory function is more than sufficient
You didn't understand me, but I think I was wrong anyway.
There are times when you try to place certain system folders on Storage. But when phone boots, it tries to write that data before it recognises the storage card, so it creates the folder in system memory again (I think in Application Data instead of original location).
My thought was that if you could make a registry change immediately effective without theneed for a bood sequence, you could have your data on the storage card.
However, recent reading tells me that for registry settings to take effect, the system needs to be powered down. So no good.

+1 for CeleTask
And it also has the great Tools/Reboot shortcut
HI. I´d love to have the s730 HTC home screen on my Vox. Does anybody know where could I get it?
Thx
Ditto that! I also have a 710 and would like the 730 homescreen/theme
Same here
We have tried to use the extracted files posted here earlier but it seems there is bunch of stuff missing...
Any new extraction or guidance would be helpful as well
The file posted here can be extracted : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=1732690&postcount=4
I've been able to use HTC homescreen on my vox but I can't get some things to work like the favorite people application and the weather part... In fact only the clock works
Unfortunately I don't have time to look further into it, but it shouldn't be too difficult for the geniuses out there
wont spb mobile shell give a similar home screen?
Isn't it only for pocket pcs ?
It´s done.
HTC Home Screen for HTC Vox :
Found in this Forum under HTC Tornado. Works fine on my VOX. Be sure to install to the device!!! when you install it to SD Card Phone crashes at boot.
Thank you very much Gregory for this great theme.
Truplaya
Edit: Seems the phone sometimes crashes when you insert the sd card. without sd card it boots fine... Maybe someone knows why and can fix this error...
Before downloading you have to notice that this cab can cause a crash and you have to hard reset the phone.
Gah. A hard reset is now needed all because of that cab above this post.
Total crash, stuck in reboot cycle.
A warning to others.
(installed to device, not storage card of course)
Update: Seems that the cab did something to the phone's MicroSD support. Or something. I can boot the phone without having the storage card inserted. Any idea what may have been changed? I'm guessing something in the registry, but not sure really.
Same problem to me schlinkey. But i can boot without sd card and insert it when booted. I added a notice above about the problem. Sorry that you had to hardreset your phone.
Did the Plugin worked for you when you boot without sd card?
I can take some screens of my phone (Vox) with HTC Plugin tommorow if wanted.
Took some pictures this morning.
It's alright, a hardreset now and then keeps the phone running smoothly
When I managed to boot the phone (without having the SD inserted) I uninstalled the plugin. The error remained however, so ended up with a hardreset anyway
All working again now!
Got it installed on my Vox now, currently uninstalling look alike themes and stuff that I no longer use to free up space on my phone now. Thanks for getting the New HTC Theme to work on the Vox. Just ned to get weather plugin working now. I've also got an annoying problem where my Vox with my T-Mobile Sim in says that I am Roming and the carrier plugin says thatI am connected to T-Mobile UK. I'm in the UK and using a T-Mobile UK Sim.

No problem with the Home screen, but I have had the reboot problem with the SD card for ages.
I did manage to get it to boot with the SD card in by doing various things.
When I first had the problem switching to flight mode before a reboot fixed the problem. The after installing some software it would only reboot with the SD card in if I first ran SK tools to clear duplicates in the notification list and selected a home screen which did not access the SD card (including the MRU list) such as "Windows Simple".
When I installed the Office 6.1 update the problem appeard to go away.
Then I installed Facade and so far have not managed to get it to boot with the SD card inserted.
I guess I could uninstall Facade - but I want to use it.
A Hard Reset is too drastic and I don't want to try that - easier to remove the SD card than to spend all day re-installing everything on my phone - no gurantee it will work anyway.
I suspect its a problem with the SD card driver as I have read that later ROM versions fixed the problem.

Sounds like you need Sprite Backup 6

I thought about that - not tried it - I assume it would back up all the registry settings along with the files.
But if I do a restore, I assume it would be back as it was before the hard reset, including the cause of any problem.
Although I suppose it might allow for some experimentation, with the ability to put things back to how they were before any changes were made.
Can someone who has used it give some comments on how useful sprite would be in these circumstances.
Hi all! Has anyone experienced the "My People" application stopping working after a while? After I installed it, it worked shortly, but now when I try to open it, the list flashes quickly, then disappears. This is from both the Home screen, and through the Start Menu. This has happened both times I've installed it. Any ideas?
Thanks!

Just now installed on my S620 Excalibur and seems to work ok.

And my home screen ;D
http://www.e650.zafriko.pl/kat/tuning__d

Ps. sorry for my eng;/
i have the HTC 5800 and when i try to install this i get a message about not having sufficient privledges.
Any ideas?
I have WM6 running on a HTC Trinity (the Orange SPV M700 variant) has been wonderful for over a month now, last night I reset it cause I hadn't in ages and it was getting all bunged up and slow, when it came back everything just stopped working.
Touchflo, HTCHome, all the stuff i had running on startup instantly blasted errors at me, and all the applications i have installed wont run, including .cab installers..
The error is:
"The File [File name] cannot be opened. Either it is not signed with a trusted certificate, or one of its components cannot be found. If the problem persists, try reinstalling or restoring the file."
I'm not one of these idiots who just panicks and complains about a problem, i've searched google a lot, found that its probably the 'security configuration' and found a program that should be able to change it, only, it can't connect to it properly through activesync, i assume because of the same thing. I would just wipe it clean, even re-flash the ROM if i had too, but I want to back everything up first with something like PPCPimBackup which has worked wonders in the past, only, I can't run the executable...
If it really comes down to it i will just manually backup my contacts list and suffer the other losses, but i'm sure there is some genious on these forums who has a magic sollution..
Always keep in mind, it's called a Pocket PC, because it's just like a PC. So from here on out, be sure to reset daily, it's quick and can help over a long run. As far as it not running now (don't know if you have fixed it yet) but try another reset, sometimes when there are too many startup apps, it can cause some chaos and certain apps won't run. Or try uninstalling the apps not working and reinstalling after a reset, after the uninstall.
Also, always a great idea to backup.
I would like to think i'm pretty good with computers, if this happened on my laptop or desktop I'd be able to find the registry values or find a program to change them for me to stop it blocking the apps from running.
Trouble is, I can't run the PPC version of RegEdit because it is blocking EVERY .exe, If it wasn't PPC i'd boot it up in safe mode, using all the default values, but there isn't on in WM6 by default (to my knowledge anyway)
I've reset many times and nothing changes, turned it off, even taken the battery out just in case it made a difference.
I think i'm going to have to do a hard reset and suffer the losses..
Sometimes a hard reset is the only solution.
Saw this in a signautre from NiteStalker, both hilarious and true, "If knowledge is counted in Hard Resets, I must be a genious!"
Hey guys, I had a TP2 Sprint, now upgraded to MiteyMikes ROM (+WM6.5 I might add) but my fone doesn't mention "loading touch Flo 3D" upon loading up and also there is also Lag in software, turning the screen but a BIG lag when using the windows explorer.
Can anyone explain why that occurs and more importantly how to change prevent it...
Added info:
I think it cud be a shortage of memory. i have ordered a 16Gb mem card from china but its taking ages coming. so to test the fone, I have had to load apps on the phone memory.. could that be a/contributing reason to the lag and should i save the apps to memcard memory when i get it. Can I install them on mem card...
thanks for your help.. well in anticipation of it, anyway...
c0nv1ct
I had MightMike's newest build on my phone and it ran just fine. No lag or anything. It is one of the best roms i have used on my tp2. I always install all my apps to the internal memory of the device, unless the software says to install it to an external card. I have a 4Gb micro sd card and have no problems also. I just have all my music on there. I also have all my .cab files incase i need t hard reset.
If i were you i would either hard reset the device and see if that fixes your problem. If it does not fix it, reflash the same rom or a different rom.
Which MightyROM? Is it his 2.1 or 2.5?
Damn, Lag, really..?? I'm runnin his 2.1.10 release of his 2.1 ROM and this thing is blazin fast...! I have an 8gb minisd but I'm runnin just about everything off the phone and even with the apps I have loaded it still is fast as ****...?? Maybe try to reflash and do a hard reset after u flash, than give it a go, hope that works cuz ur missin out if ur laggin...
Easy one.
The below explaination assumes you have already HardSLP'd your TP2 and have some clue as to how to get around the WinMo OS.
Now, l337 code convict, If you don't mind reflashing your phone (again):
For future reference (becuase you'll flash again, I guarantee it): WHEN reflashing any rom you should "Clear Storage" before running the new rom's .exe on your 'puter --> this soft-resets the phone and your info will be gone, so use a program like PPCPimBackup, it's easy, fast, and cuts out the BS of having to use Outlook to sync pim information.
After the initial "Clear Storage" above, the phone will boot back into your rom, wait for everything to load (a good indication that the boot has arrived upon smooth or smoother operating efficiency, wait for the "three white horizontal lines with a down arrow" also known as the task manager to load. *its the thing in the upper top right hand portion of the black bar located at the top of your screen.* (this is imperative in any flash, even the stock rom)
After the boot has stabilized, sync your phone to your 'puter. (Per a previous post, if you're having probs syncing, go into your USB to PC settings and disable the "Enable faster data syncronization" option and say okay.)
Start your MightyMike installation and go thru the steps. Your phone will inevitably reboot. You'll probably have some waiting to do the first time it boots, with yet another restart.
Now, when the system boots your new rom installation, "Clear Storage" yet again (to clean up any installation files)
You'll reboot yet another time.
After this reboot, restore your pim info, load your extras, and for God's sakes, install At0mAng Enhanced D3D Driver. Reboot. Tweak away.
OH, and heed the words of Mr. MightyMike:
"——————————————————————————-
Please remember to provision your phone before configuring it!
Start > System > Carrier Provisioning
Not doing so before setting up your email, personalized settings will result in unforseen problems.
——————————————————————————-"
Lessons to take away from all of this:
Bottom line, wait for your phone to boot. You don't automatically start World of Warcraft and log into your Dalaran logged player while your computer is loading its AV software and startup entries, so give your little 520-some mhz PPC a chance to shine.
And a large HCSD card isn't going to make your PPC any faster. Your phone doesn't cache it like you have the availablity to do in Window$. Just install visual styles and "always running programs" into internal memory and games and other bullsh*t into your SD card.
Also, it's a good idea to do the following.
Reflash your stock ROM, then run a clear storage as indicated above.
Then flash the MightyROM, wait til it's fully loaded and run clear storage again.
After that it should be just fine.
I'm going through this problem for almost 4 weeks, just when I was away of a computer by 1 mile..
I was getting problems to connect to internet with my PDA, and nothing worked.
Then some apps stopped working (like Messenger, Internet Explorer, and such included apps) and I decided to format my phone by using the HardSPL method. Installed everything again, and then everything was working fine.
After a few days, the buttons stopped working: Couldn't answer calls, or use D-Pad, couldn't get off standby mode and so on. Every time I needed to use my phone, I got to hardreset the PDA, wait it to power on, and use it. It was VERY annoying. So, formatted again and installed a new ROM. Everything worked fine and after a few days, again.. Couldn't get off standby mode.
I read somewhere that it happens when the SD card becomes faulty. It was. I formatted the SD and copied all the contents again. Formatted again the phone, and installed everything again. After a few minutes (yes, minutes), the phone wasn't responding again. I got to plug the headphones and press the HF key and sometimes it got back from standby.
When phone is kind of.. "null", I can't receive calls. SMS are rejected. But the power, Bluetooth and Wifi light keeps blinking as it was active.
I'm using a temporary phone right now. I can't handle it anymore. But I miss my PDA :S
A bit more info: I'm using Spanish NiAX WM6.5.3 ROM. And first ROM was Spanish NiAX WM6.5.1. Maybe it's a ROM fault. I don't know :S
Suggestions?
Thanks in advance..
PS: Read some other threads about this. Switched 3G/2G, changed SIMCARD and SDCard and still not working
EDIT
The problem is my Polaris has a couple bad blocks on its NAND.
In traditional english: The support of the OS (AKA Windows Mobile, or Android, for example) is damaged, so in certain points the data written becomes inaccessible or has trash data. That's the reason the phone doesn't wake up.
I can happen too if you have a faulty SDCard. The point is: Some data couldn't be read.
Currently I'm researching about how to live with this. There's nothing to do with Windows Mobile as far as I know, but we can make it work by using some custom set-up of Android.
I'll let you all know if I get some news, or see HERE where I'll post everything I find
Regards!
Bump!
Please, I'm travelling this week and my temporary phone now is broken, too...

That could be your problem(corrupted files) Check for viruses too(Not too careful)
Thanks A LOT for your answer.
I think that can't be the problem, since I formatted the SD card and put all the fresh content again (music an cabs from my home PC).
I found out that a new fresh installed rom works fine, until I install any cab.
The cabs I have, are stored on SDcard and installed to Phone Memory.
Maybe CABS are faulty. Or it's not recommendend to install from the SDCard.
I'll try installing the new rom again, and Installing all cabs from Activesync.
I'll publish any news.
Thanks!
Still not working.
I read somewhere that this is caused by SRS WOW with Security off patch.
tomorrow I'll reinstall the rom again, and all the software without that cab.
Worked fine for 3 minutes, SDCard wasn't plugged and failed once installed Simcard.
What comes into my mind, try downgrading everything to official HTC ROM, by everything i mean also radio(unplug sdcard and simcard when flashing)
Then check if it works, if not maybe there's hardware fault.
Try different simcard too.
What software are you using?
I suggest you follow pcarvalhos or alexander-voigt instructions on how to flash (basically you have to flash official wm6.1 before flashing a ROM if you observe stability issues) and then flash pcarvalho, alexander voigt (or mines). It should work if you follow the instructions exactly. Then try again Niax' rom
Post #1 updated about the reason of this.
Regards!
