Hero's!
I've recently upgraded to WM6 (Australian ROM) and what I found is that sometimes (yes, sometimes... sigh....) when I close the Phone tab after I have made/received a call, the top of my screen still shows "Phone" next to the windows start logo, and my start menu is closed and freezed. So I can see the today screen, the only part of the phone tab that remains and cannot be closed is the bar at the top. Ihave to perform a soft reset to "fix" it.
I have some 3rd party stuff installed on my device:
Spb Pocket Plus and Spb GPRS Monitor.
Anyone has/had the same issue and has a solution?
Thnx in advance.
Cheers. Arend
What I noticed is that it doens't just concern my phone tab. It happened to my settings - and programs tab to.
And I do not need to make a softreboot. Just turning the device off and on using the powerbutton is enough.
Still, issue remains, any takers on this subject?
Sounds like a screen refresh problem. i would try uninstalling the additional software one at a time to see if the problem stops when you have removed something.

Thanks.
Deinstalled the 3rd party software. Issue remains. Still, it's not a real big deal. I mean, I will get by. I will just have to hit the powerbutton once in a while.
Still, maybe I will give device a hard reset and use it without any modifications. See if that works.
Any other suggestions.
Go for the hard reset, if that fails to fix the problem I would reflash the ROM. If that doesn't fix it, it might be the AUS ROM that is causing the issue with your network.

I agree with all above expect the part of "it might be the AUS ROM that is causing the issue with your network".
What i think might be possible is that the ROM conflicts with my P3600, since it isn't a Dopod.
But as you suggested, I'm going to give it a hard reset.

Hello,
First and foremost I should note that I tried searching the forums but I was not entirely sure what to search for. I tried a few different queries and they yielded negligible results for my issue. Now, onto my issue:
8525 with wm6 black 3.01
I have my 8525/hermes/tytn/etc/ set to turn the device off after 3 minutes of inactivity in order to preserve battery life. Sometimes, this poses no issues and I can just hit the power button to turn it back on when I need to. Other times however, and perhaps more frequent, I press the power button and nothing happens. Try as I might and regardless of how many times I press the damned button, it will not turn on. I have to use my stylus to do a soft reset in order to have my phone back in operation. Needless to say, this has gotten very annoying. I have since turned that feature off but now my battery drains far too quickly.
Is this a known issue or has anyone experienced similar issues? If so, is there a fix for this? If not, would ATT accept my phone for a warranty exchange with this greymarket software on it? If not, can I just flash it with an official ATT image and then send it in? Thanks.
It's called Sleep of Death... SOD... I had it and I flashed the official AT&T rom and havent had it since.
thanks.. looking into it!
How many apps do you have running. Where are they installed also. I currently run Black Majik, and NEVER have the SoD, or soft reset, so I think it's the stuff you put in your device that may be causing this. Flashing a new ROM wont always solve this, since you and I have the same phone, I think it's what you put in that may cause this.

running? usually just whatever program I have opened since I have it set up to completely escape the program when I X out. As far as where things are installed, everything is installed on my device sans iGo.. However, this issue arised prior to iGo being put on my SD card.
Try this. After a hard reset, load one app to your device, let it sit, test it, and then do another. take your time. See if something you load is causing this. I did a HR on mine cause I had tons of crap on there, loaded stuff slowly and noticed the ButtonFlo CAB is what screwed my ROM from working good, so got rid of it. Since then, its awesome.
Leave the Black and go with JJ's Majik. Is the only ROM to date that hasn't SOD'ed me ... and I run the same apps, the same way, on all the ROM's.

is this so? i'm going to try at&t's wm6 for a bit, see howt aht works..
Don't belive so
I read a lot of threads regarding the problem, i tried AT&T and same problem, others had it with black, now i am having it with latest LVSW, may be a software problem, i had it using SPB WEATHER and SPB TIME, i hard reset install all but them, worked fine for two days, installed TWEAK2K2, problem came back, now trying without TWEAK2K2, but i doubt problem can be solved
My Opinion
been running through threads all over, just found out that there is no solution, because when a program pushes the unit to wake up from standby it freezes, this program can be weather, alarm, mail, active sync, and even a CALL can cause this, so it's a permanent bug in wm6 and PPC :-(
Here is how it happens :
i slide the keyboard out, write an sms or something , then slide the keyboard back in quickly : it soft resets itself.
It also happen when sliding the keyboard out and in without doing anything else.
This doesnt happens 100% of times of course, but in 2 days, it happened to me twice. And it pretty annoying.
I dont know if its something i have installed or not, but i dont see how it can be related (have tomtom, Batti, skype, Resco File Explorer, CorePlayer)
Am i the only one with this problem?
Thanks in advance if you can help me
Seems like the power cuts off sometimes you slide it. (in other words, it's broken). Return it and ask for another one.
Little chance this is the cause of any software interferrence.
But first try a hard reset... if that doensn't help, than you can consider a RMA
Hi,
I've had exacly the same. It looks like we did get a monday morning device
I've returned it to the shop and got a new one, this one is fine. I would suggest you do the same.
Toolman
hmm, mine is also doing that as well. Hard reset did not fix it. Bought from Techrific in Melbourne. Just negotiating return now.
Although my issue is not really a reboot. The phone just does an ungracefull shutdown. Have to power it back on.
i did a hard reset.
And so far, no unwanted reset... I am crossing my fingers.
FYI : unlike my first time, i didnt install Tomtom 7... i dont know if its related or not. So i just wanted to know if those experiencing those unwanted reset also had Tomtom 7 installed ?
May not be the same issue, but be aware of this problem with TomTom7 on the TP2...

yes i found out this problem with the BT files... I had this problem too.
So i didnt install it yet since my hard reset, so i will wait a little bit before testing it out .
But so far, no more problems with my TP2, i dont regret upgrading from my Kaiser
I have a weird issue with my TP2.
When i reset it... it boots up and i can see the HTC logo but tf3d won't start.. i went into settings unchecked tf3d and reticked it.. no difference!
How is the executable called? anyone elese experiencing this issue?
Known problem.
The best workaround I found till now:
1. Switch on Flightmode. (use the red phone button press for more than 3 seconds)
2 Reset/Restart
3. Switch off flightmode. The PIN screen comes up automatically.
Works in 100% of the cases.

You can run the manila.exe found in the Windows folder but I've found that when doing this, the clock on the home tab doesn't refresh/change and the notification balloons don't come up (the little round icon on the sms tab when you have unread sms's for example)
the workaround worked like a blast. Thanks..
I could not find that thread describing it.. i wonder why HTC did not release any hotfix for this.
How is the manila.exe started???
Hi!
I have the same issue, Touchflo3d not starting after boot on my swedish Touch Pro2.
If i try to manually start manila.exe i also get the clock freeze on the start screen and no mail/message notifications.
I've tried two hard resets, and adding programs and settings one at a time just to try to find the reason for this, but no luck. It feels like it's all random, it all works with apps installed, and suddenly it stops working, no changes made.
I notice that when i manually execute \windows\manila.exe the screen goes from the black screen with the HTC logo directly to the start screen of touchflo3d. When everything works the way it should do, there is a difference, a text appears on the black screen under the HTC logo, something like "starting Touchflo3D".
I'm not that good at windows mobile myself, but i hope someone on this forum, that has a phone with touchflo3d, can find the difference between starting the manila.exe manually, not seeing the "starting Touchflo"-test, compared to the automatic start with that text.
I hope that would lead to a solution or fix, i would not mind very much having to start touchflo myself with a click, but i'd like to start it the same way it does when working so the clock and notifications work as it should.
Let's all hope some of the many extremly skilled members here picks up the glove and takes a good look at this!!

Thanx it worked for me!
But now TF3D will come in front when I make a call. So after 5 seconds calling the first screen of TF3D (the clock) will appear. Then I have to press the first button (phone) to get the phone screen again. Verry sad.
I also can not use the program Notes anymore when calling, the program will go to the back. And TF3D will come to the front!
Someone know the answer?
Thanx in advance,
Richard
Hi,
i had the same problem and tried many solutions until i found what was the cause for that problem: S2U2. Once i disabled the S2U2-autostart on boot up, tf3d is always starting the way its supposed to. I simply removed the ilock2-shortcut from windows/autostart and start it manually after tf3d has launched. Not really perfect, but better than everything else for me.
Do you use S2U2?

I did the same, disabled s2u2, and no more problems. After a while however the hanging came back randomly.
S2u2 is back now. Mothers little helper! I can live with the flightmode on and off solution.

Try to set a longer "Boot-up Delay" (S2U2 Settings->Advanced).

Nope, 20 secs does not do the job in my case.
Tried several combinations and different ways of startup, but no deal.
I already had the problem without S2U2 so I cannot possibly blame them.
I still am stuck at the flightmode trick which gives a 100% success.

Moisture damage perhaps???

I have the same issue. The first time this behavior surfaced for me was right after i´d applied Zagg´s inivisible shield.
I must admit that i lacked the patience to be leaving the phone for 12 hours drying up.
I´d put it in a dry, warm & well ventilated place for approximately 4 hours and thought that should suffice.
When the phone started acting up i used up all the non-printable 4 letter words i knew and did a hard reset.
Anyway - the problem has showed up about every third time i do a soft reset.
To me the solution has so far been another soft-reset.
Regards
Have the same problem, it's driving me nuts. Hate reseting the phone - it takes ages to boot up.
Won't spend time trying to fix this, will just not reboot/reset often. Hopefully the WM6.5/TF3D official package sometime in October will cure this.

I combine the flightmode trick together with the SlidetoShutdown, where I use the restart slider.
Doing it this way makes it more acceptable.

Hmm... I've had success with the 20 second thing but now that is also not working for me anymore... not sure what changed.

It is quite random.
The flight-on/restart/flight-off always works, at least in my tp2.
Huib
so i've tried checking on/off Today/Item/TF3D, tried Flight Mode, and it still won't work. i'm talking like only 30-50% of the time it does work. and I never had PIN1 enabled!
i'm no programmer but it is conflicting with apps we install because TF3D works perfectly when the phone was fresh or hard-resetted. btw i'm using 6.1 Stock T-mobile
Hey guys,
I need your help here my G3 is acting up now and its really irritating me. So what happens is when im using the phone my WiFi will suddenly drop and I would have to wait around 5 minutes every-time this happens to me. I don't have a problem with my router its a fast router and works well all the time. Lets say i to go into a bathroom and when using the phone the WiFi will drop instantly and I've tried all the steps by forgetting the wifi and re-typing it again, factory resetting going onto my 2.4.GHZ and still receiving the problem. Is there ANY fix out there that can do it its really annoying me and i need it fixed. Please.
Thank you.
I'm no expert, but in my opinion (and assuming you haven't tried this yet) the first thing I would do is to do a hard reset. It is unclear from your post if the problem is occurring immediately after a hard/factory reset, so will assume you have added all apps afterwards.
If it is still happening after that (and before you start installing all your apps) then you have a problem with the phone itself. If not add all your apps back and ensure all have been opened/run.
If it starts happening again, then it might be an app causing it. Hard reset again and then add your apps back piecemeal (maybe 5 at a time - keep not of which ones you are doing) and open each one after installation (as installing is one thing, but the running of an app might be the cause)
This way, if it does start happening again, you will know which 1 (or maybe 5) app(s) is to blame.
As I said, I am no expert, but this is the logical way I would go about eliminating or trying to find the cause of an annoying problem.

I had a similar issue and the cause for me was having both 2.4 GHz and 5GHz WiFi networks SSID the same. If you have a dual band router name each differently. Hope that helps.

Weird though I did multiple factory resets and that actually managed to fix the problem aha. Thank you. : )
Hi
My Z1 Compact started to hang while opening apps or while using them. Sometimes it doesn't reset and then some things are not responding and whole interface disappear and comes up again.
I tried to record it with the screen recorder and the "show touches" option but the record wasn't saved. The "show touches" option worked during the hang.
Sometimes I can turn it off by clicking power button and power off but it takes some time to "read" my touch. There are no problems with the battery.
Is it a RAM problem? How can I find out what happens before and during the hang? Is there something like Windows event viewer for Android? My ROM was DstrikerZ1 Kai SP007, after the problems started I updated it to SP008, now it is on stock ROM with no root. The bootloader is locked and it was never unlocked.
I thought it would work for another 2 years

Are you saying that the problem was the same through both Dstriker versions, and straight stock? Was there full wipes in between? If so, I would think it's a hw issue, maybe digitizer... If not, best thing to test is a totally different rom with full wipe.
Maybe I'm wrong but I don't think digitizer can cause software freezes... If it was faulty I couldn't control the phone but it would respond anyway.
I flashed SP008 with data+system+cache+art cache wipe, then I flashed stock ROM via software repair in PC Companion.

A good app for what you're looking for might be OSMonitor from f-droid - https://f-droid.org/repository/browse/?fdfilter=git&fdid=com.eolwral.osmonitor&fdpage=3 There's a 'message' tab, and a drop-down menu you can choose which type of log you want to read.
I don't understand this log ;/ There is a lot of messages.
I consider buying a Z1C with cracked screen and swapping the mobo, but first, I will call a technician.
Hello I have the same issues from today. It looks like a SW issue. I never do updates, except yesterday I did,...
I also saw that lots of people have issues with the latest update of Facebook.
Yes, it was all because of Facebook. I restored custom rom and all mods yesterday and it works fine so far.
Somebody wants us to throw old Z1Cs, but we throw FB app instead. Nice try mr. Zuckerberg.
I don't know why, but i have this problem, i don't think it's hw fault, i have the same issue in all my 3 z1, it's kinda funny, deleting Facebook App 'fixed' my problem
Had same freeze on SP007, so I downgraded to SP005, instead of upgrade to SP008.
SP005 runs much better and doesn't look like Pixel but has the XZ look :angel:
Had this issue all week and now I know it's Facebook! Was having hard / soft reset issues for like a week after this stupid Facebook update... thank god I checked here.
