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
I am having a problem with my program memory on my TP2.
After a soft reset I run my opera browser and sometimes it will pop up and say my program memory is low and to close something down. I have 40 MBs available. Is this not enough? If not where do I start cutting. I really want to show off my phone to everyone but don't want to look like an idiot with it locking up every 5 mins.
I suggest a hard reset (check the manual), because that amount of free RAM is not normal. Most users boot up with around 80-90 free. More available using the "Disable Push Internet" and ResProxy hacks, found elsewhere on this board.
My TP2 (VZW) runs great.. so great, in fact, that i launched google maps, found my location, and guided my group to one bar to another bar in nyc last night before 2 of my iPhone friends could.
Thats a testament, right there.
i got my verizon touch pro to boot up with 102 megs free, i usually stay within the 43-48% of memory usage
i got my verizon touch pro 2 to boot up with 102 megs free, i usually stay within the 43-48% of memory usage
My memory also stays between 42%-48%. I disabled the push internet and did the resproxy edit and it runs great. After using for a while it will get up to the mid 50% range. When it does that, I will use the cleanram program and it goes back down without resetting.
that's exactly what i use too, but overall mine never slows down or lags
thats weird i normally start up between 70 - 75% and all i am running is gyrator 2.
What is that cleanup prog you are talking about i don't want to do a hard reset if i don't have to and reinstall all my apps and regedits...
it is even giving me problems now... but even at 75% i have like 35mb free why would it be lagging?
Would a lot of emails in my inbox cause that?
better yet is there a app that will show me what is taking up my program memory?

do a search on this forum for DisablePushInternet and you'll find that cab that'll free up plenty of memory
I installed Dutty's disable push internet and reset 54% YaY!!
Thanks man I had originally thought this might of been a problem but since I had push internet turned off in my data settings I didn't think I needed to install a cab just for it. Maybe it was still holding memory from when I tried out push internet the first day I got my phone before I disabled it.
Thanks A lot I will monitor my phone today and see if I have anymore problems with it lagging.
ok It jumped back up to 70%
I tried to move my opera cache to my storage card to see if that would help
I soft reset
it started at 54%
I started opera went to this site page and then exited opera
and now it is 61%
I started opera again went to ESPN College football page where it froze for about 10 secs then resumed loading then exited
and now it is 65%
opened opera back running very sluggish now
click on another link exited
and now it is 67%
seems to be a pattern here
when I go back to Opera:config
user prefs the Cache Directory4 is back to default
changed it again this time to
\Storage Card\Program Files\opera9\cache\
(which someone recommended)
reset
started up at 54%
opened opera loaded XDA Forum page
exited
and now it is at 61%.................again
went BACK to opera config
cache file is STILL default
what am I doing wrong?
and am I even on the right path with the opera cache to correcting this problem?
Thanks for yalls help
PS: I just deleted my cache and it is still 64%.......
disable push internet
sorry if this is blatently obvious but i have looked all over this forum and i keep coming back to this same thread. does anyone have instructions on how do disable the push internet. i have found other forums for other phones but not sure if it will work for the TP2. im currently running CERegEditor to edit everything. also i keep following the instructions for turning off the "message sent" notification but again no luck. these are 2 of my biggest qualms with my phone right now. thanks for any help!

install this cab and do a soft reset to disable push internet
For the SMS notification
If you have a registry editor just here
HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Inbox\Settings SMSNoSentMsg = 0
HKCU\ControlPanel\Notifications\Default Options = 0
HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Inbox\Settings DisableSMSDeliveryReceipt = 0
You just change all the values to 0 and then do a soft reset
worked for me
worked like a charm! thanks!
install cleanram, or if you want to buy speedbooster they both help my tp2 to stay below 48% while having a lot of apps on my phone including emulators
Ok, I've been having a bit of the memory problem as well. Not running anything out of the ordinary - software wise - yet, but booting with the Push Internet Disable to 54%...
First opening Messaging, dropping to 57%... Other TF programs show no effect...
Open Opera - Drops to 63%... Exit Opera - Raises to 58%...
I think 75-80MB of open memory speak for itself here... Course, you really wanna make it scream, just disable Touchflo... lol
I installed clean ram and ran it
its at 62%
Why can't I get mine to 48%
I hate to but I think I am going to Hard Reset and see what happens

Sprint TP2 is set up in such a way, that after disabling the push internet feature, only about 38% of memory is used after a soft reset. The memory usage never goes above ~ 50%, if you truly exit Opera (clicking x by default minimizes it, and it won't show in Task Manager; one only needs to choose Exit from Opera menu and/or hack the registry to make it truly exit).
There's something wrong with programs you installed. You need to check your running processes (there's a number of programs available, I use memmaid) after a soft reset. Mine doesn't go above 16 - and that's just stock minus Opera push stuff.
I did a hard reset
I reinstalled my programs to my storage card
Advanced Config
BerBible
Facebook
FreeCadie
GoogleMaps
Memmaid
NoniGPS
Skyfire
Slingplayer
Sprite Backup
XML Contact Backup
I am still running at about 70% but it does not seem to be lagging as bad
I ran memmaid and did a scan it only found 124kbs.
But it closed 1 program that was 23 MB
that took me down 4% to 66%

Go to memmaid, Jump To/Process/Running processes. Write down or take screenshots of everything in there. Post it here.
Someone here will be able to figure out what's eating your memory and how to fix it.
here's the thing, i only got edge on my area for now
wont be in my hometown till xmas, when i can get a decent 3g for downloading
gameloft needs quite a massive data download
lets say dungeon hunter for 300mb
i did insist on downloading it, with some failure upon it
tried once, got 30mb, down to 270mb for next downloading
got 50mb on the next, down to 220mb for next
got 11mb, down to 209mb for next
after that, never got a reduce even if i left it for a long time, and when i check battery use, the MB on the app is actually increasing, the edge status keeps showing downloading
anybody know why?
i tried clearing data and deleting on gameloft folder, files that showing 0 on size
but of course i dont want to delete it all which would be absurd since it took me hard enough from 300mb to 200mb
can anybody help me?
what should i do or need to delete or anything to be able to finish my download, since it actually can be resumed from 300 mb down to 200mb with some fail download
I had similar issue, I had to finally delete everything and start from scratch
Sent from my GT-P1000 using XDA App
Same here... was doing NOVA on WIfi... stuck with 59mb left... nothing worked. Deleted the folders, uninstalled and cleared cache. Then reinstalled and downloaded. While downloading, I was surfing the net and doing some other stuff to make sure the connection kept on going... finally got it working
well, in that case, i need to wait till i can get myself a good internet speed then >.<
Hey everyone. First post, long time lurking. Thanks, in advance, for all the help you've given me just by letting me read!
Two problems:
Power Amp (Full Version) was running just fine for a couple months, then suddenly force closed every time it ran. Uninstalled, attempted to reinstall, and now I get an error message every time I try to reinstall saying there isn't enough storage space on my Internal SD (5.12gb free). I tried installing it on the External SD (32gb) but no such luck. Any idea how I can get it to run again?
Secondly, I'm only able to use internet browsing features while connected to WiFi (tried multiple browsers: Opera, Dolphin HD, Skyfire & Default) - no connection when I'm on either HSPA or 3G. All other data using applications work fine on the network or on WiFi (Facebook, E-Mail, etc). Ideas?
Thus far, I've tried rebooting, re-installs of all relevant software, market cache clear (longshot for the power amp fix). Any help is much obliged.

I dont about the data or internet, but if you have a rooted phone use uninstaller for root to uninstall any app that you dont use even the stock ones that come the phone or rom, hopefully that give more memory to install that app again!!!!
Thanks for the crack at a reply, man. Unfortunately, that's exactly the oddness of the problem that I'm dealing with; there's more than enough storage space available on both my Internal and External SD cards to install the application, but it won't install. Other applications can install just fine, for whatever reason.
Browser still not connecting outside of WiFi either. I repeat, other data applications (e-mail, Facebook, maps, etc.) enjoy full functionality.
Thanks again for the effort. Anyone else have any ideas?
Hello, I am seeking advice/help...
I can see by looking and reading some of your writings and posts that yours and others time is worth alot... I am not sure on how much I could spend as I have already lost funds and had my bank accounts hacked. However I will gladly see what I can do if someone can hopfully help me...
I have been without proper internet for well over a month now.. I have changed my wireless routers out twice even added in a AP(hardware firewall)... My internet provider also suppliea optik TV and that is all ran through the same router.
At first I noticed some new programs would appear, things would be moved around some things would go missing... it was very unnoticeable unless you were paying attention.
Then the windows start up acreen would freeze for 5 minutes sometimes almost as if somethinf had froze the screen so that I wouldn't be able to see whats happening(Basically started getting worse - passwords being changed on me etc... - would lose my elevated privledges almost as if I was just a guest account)...
I even tried using CMD in dos to get my permission settings back and at first this would work but then the dos/cmd commands(whoami / ICACLS / and a few other commands would not work and say they don't exist... I also started to notice the size of my harddrive change.. I was never able to get it back to the right amount of GB. I tried to restore it many different methods as well (win7, linux, dos) nothing worked.. I then also noticed the MBR would constantly become corrupt and same with the hard drive.
So I looked into things and figured it must be the bios or cmos.. I tried to flash it and just decided I would start from scratch... However, everytime the computer restarts the old cmos/bios is back. I then also found things saved on (A: , B: and X) ... They were all write protected so I decided to pull the hard drive out. They still showed up even if I had the hard drive removed.
** X: is the boot drive as well so every time I tried to reinstall anything a bunch of extra files would get installed as well**
**Drive B had a volume named RamDrive..**
I ran some system/ tests in dos on the memory and kept getting errors but would not tell me what the problem was I finally figured out that it was a system error because the range went higher(above the 4gb that it's supposed to be)..
Now 4 laptops ruined... I just got a new laptop (win8.1) was never used and had never been turned on and after the initial startup/setup had extra software etc and now is stuck in infiniti boot loop....
Also similar stuff has happend or is happening with fax/printer, pvr, tv, ipad, iPhone, Android, wii, ps3, ps4.. dvd player, basically all media devices and anything wireless..
I have seen lots of evidence on remote connections through IOT, P2P/PHP, IPv4, IPv6, ssl, http(local group/work group) now it seems like things are communicating through a technique called air hopping or coupling. (RF, NFC, WIFI, IR, GPS/GSM, RFID, Altel Bluetooth and a few others). **I can remove the wireless card and laptops still connect**
They even got into a desktop computer that has no wirelsss or bluetooth card... and never gets plugged into the internet. Odd internet type numbers started calling my house phone also my house phone if I unplugged it etc... then powered it back up and didn't set date or time it would reset itself... The play stations would turn on and off them self... I tried reformattibg and missing a huge amount of GB.
Also, money was taken out of bank account as well.... anyone who goes to where this all is happening there cell phones get infected tooo... it seems to update tbe phones in fhe form of a push update aka broadcast signal.. Any help or input would be greatly appreciated...
another thing i noticed was files like index.dat/index.ini... desktop.ini. doubles of everything in my registry... and the fonts i couldnt change or delete... i noticed files from other devices listed on my phones and vice versa for things listed on the computer... if this isnt the right place for this i apolohgize...
also it appears as if my phone is rooted.. judging by the files and folders that are on my phone but it says not rooted. there is apps installed that i didnt put there and cant remove without being rooted.. my phones are constantly connected. factory reset doesnt work anymore... Neither does wipe cache. also constantly streaming data even if data is off and airplane mode. i keep seeng something about a 299-amtel.. redirect in any and all browsers...lots of adware as well.
im not even sure i will be able to ge back on here... if not you can try emailing me [email protected]... i appreciate any and all help.. thank you and sorry for the grammer juat trying to type this as fast as possible.
Your MEANINGLESS title is discouraging people from helping you.
Please at least use a simple sentence to summarize your problem in your title.
Anyway from what you're saying, you should report to the police, or if you have some friend with network and PC knowledge, ask him for help.
