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.
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
It isn't a perfect phone. I've had it crash 3 times after having it for 10 days. It's the same type of crash too, the screen just becomes nonfunctional and I have to pull the battery out to restart the device. The phone does not freeze, the time and incoming calls all work, but I just cannot accept any calls or dial or do anything with the touch screen because it refuses to listen Not sure why it happens but I'm curious to see if people have had this kind of problem and or know of a resolution.
Thanks!!!
What ROM do you have, any software you've installed on it?

Stock T-Mobile rom. I have installed several games and the FM Radio cab, that is all
i think it is not a hardware problem it must be because of something u loaded.try a hard reset. i have t mobile tp2 no problem. i have loaded volpad application, lots of bugs happened. after removing everything was ok. remove one by one and after each make a soft reset. u will solve it. good luck...
I had the exact same problem. My device would think off and on that I had my headphones plugged into it because the headphone icon would appear. Therefore I couldn't hear anything. I finally took my phone to Sprint and they replace it with a new one. They must all have a defect or something. I tried the soft reset, hard reset, and wiping the device. Nothing worked. Not even tech support could figure it out (which isn't surprising, but whatever).
my tmobile tp2
id give it a hard reset and see whats up, some games can lock up ya phone, like the game majong... thats mess my wifes phone up and freeze it if ya dont exit properly.....
Im now on custom shipped 6.5 and my signal keeps switching edge to 3g annd back, so Now im on figuring this out, fun sometimes huh????lol
Thank you all very much for replying to my thread.
I have decided to load a custom 6.5 rom to my device and everything so far is working wonderfully.
I am using http://thewingster.com/athineoschometf3d.aspx with the latest T-Mobile Touch Pro 2 Radio ROM
I had one before, dropped it a few times.. I wrote it off as that being why, well I just got a replacement one sent.. haven't dropped it once, it's been here only about 2 weeks
Randomly sometimes it won't respond to almost anything.. I'll be trying to slide the screen, it either won't at all or will go halfway like I barely touched it. I'll try clicking on things, programs, start, whatever... it'll not respond at all, I end up having to press with way more pressure than I should have to, way more.
Then sometimes without even a reset it'll start working just about normally again.. but that's rarely, usually I'll soft reset or pull the battery for a second and then it'll be fine.. for days even.. then I'll run into it again..
I noticed 2-3 times it was because I had **** updating at the time (motweets) or was receiving email.. but I've since made everything manual regarding email, and motweets updates once every 15 minutes and the amount of tweets is limited so it's not a lot..
Still, I run into this problem, and I've made sure it wasn't a program updating but I can't think of what else would make this happen, am I the only one??
Is it because there's a way to clear cache on internets and other programs and I have no idea how? (I fully close them, that's not the problem, I know my Vogue I just can't figure this out an it seems nobody else has this problem).. Not to mention I have my internet cache's directed to my storage card so as to keep my phone memory as free'd up as possible
If anyone can help..
mine is unresponsive sometimes and i have to tap on the back of the phone to get to work again. i thinks its going out soon
That's what I thought about my old one, I figured I had dropped it to much.. because I did lol but now I got a new one 2 weeks old and I'm running into the SAME problems.. I'm assuming I must be doing something wrong with how I've got **** set-up

j18yo i think that your problem might be that to many programs run when you start your vogue that happened to me before and i hated it but then i heard of a program named "Space Reclaimer" FREE and it made my vogue much more responsive because the program stops any programs that start when you turn on your vogue or any windows mobile phone
I have the same problem usually under the same conditions. Mostly happens in the morning after the device has been off. Works fine for a few seconds then stops responding correctly i.e., the D-Pad stops scrolling correctly with a lag on touch response. I use CleanRAM and it still doesn't fix the prob once it occurs. Sometimes when I run CleanRAM it will occur. I've tried putting biotouch.exe and everyting BUT the kernel processes in the exceptions list and a Level 1 clean. Hard reset yesterday and haven't had the problem yet. If it continues to work, I'll post my settings.
BTW, I'm on a stock 6.1 ROM with a few apps.

What ROM are you running? I asume that wehn your new device came you loaded it the same as the old one. It has to be something with the ROM you are runnning or a problem with a program causing your issue.
My phone would do this periodically too, with Vin's latest ROMs. I turned off Manila and am running Titanium now. Interestingly - no lags when unlocking since. I'll keep Titanium on for some time to see if that makes it go away. I had an issue with both his current v2 and v4 (which I am running now).
Ive had to replace my screen twice and the whole phone once because of touch screen problems. Thank God for the insurance.
Ah yes... to what OP mentioned:
I do not beleive it is a more pressure thing. I do not think it is more pressure that is required but rather that the phone is non responsive. If you are unlocking and typing a PIN, it takes the PIN and all but it takes perhaps one digit every 5 seconds. That's my experience anyway. So it is just slower, as if something was consuming the CPU and UI is not responsive.

THIS..
It has to be the problem.. I have CleanRAM run every 12 hours or 6 hours because I figured it would help.. lol but now your saying sometimes it happens WHEN you run cleanRAM.. Im assuming it does something, or erases something it shouldnt?
This is like the 1 sole thing I have run on a schedule, I've turned off my email and everything to manual, I went into my startup folder and there was about 4-5 things I didn't need which made the battery 100% better than it was in terms of how long it lasts.. and I set-up this CleanRAM schedule on my last phone I THINK I forgot but I do know as soon as I got this 1 going I did it and I'm bout to delete the program completely and see if it'll help, I have speedbooster too which does a cleanup too I'm curious if it would have the same result..
I'll let everyone know if this ended up being my problem incase anyones in the exact same boat with the same apps
PS: I was doing level 3 cleans

Update: I don't think CR erases things as much as it kills processes that won't restart. Thru trial and error, I've adjusted my CleanRAM settings to where I haven't had the problem for a couple of days. I'm able to do a Level 3 cleans on a once a night schedule and during the day if need be. In settings, I have it to close all apps, launch startup progs, and display today screen. I have no exceptions listed for either running progs or startup progs. I have the most up to date version from the OTA update in the program.
The program links in my StartUp folder are: poutlook (original on ROM), sddaemon (original on ROM), WLMUpdate (original on ROM), Glossybars.exe (I added this), biotouch.exe (I added as I thought CR killing this was the source of the problem), pocketwit.exe (I added), and SIPChange (I added).
One thing I did do was delete the link for TouchPal from the Startup folder. I did this for other reasons (I use FingerKeyBoard). Not sure if this was part of the problem.
I can scroll with d-pad and no touch lag.
On a side note, can I delete any of poutlook, sddaemon, or WLMUpdate from the startup folder to save battery power?
I'm probably just a bit above a newb so sorry if I don't make sense.
Update: Just for kicks, I deleted the links for glossybars.exe and pocketwit.exe from my StartUp and it started locking again after running CleanRAM. I put them back in and it works again even after running CleanRAM. Maybe someone with more knowledge can explain this. I'm just keeping it the way it is now...
Hmm weird that you removed something not very important like pocketwit an cleanram caused problems again.. someone has to have some info on this??
I deleted everything from my StartUp folder but my SPB Mobile Shell.. I didn't have sddaemon, but I did have poutlook and WLMUpdate both of which I deleted.. then I had some other programs that aren't necessary for the phone.. I have no problems on restart or anything, and the % showed being used is stays around the 30's now instead of 40s/50s.. and when I run programs it usually reachs 50% tops now instead of 60/70% I used to get.
PS: Pocketwit isnt bad I used to praise the program but now I've tried MoTweets and.. I can't think of the other one now.. ****.. it's really good though but it seems to use a lot more phone power than MoTweets so I went back to that.
Pocketwit kept giving me problems, started saying I need to install that NET 3.5 or whatever but when I try to it says I have a later version already so it won't install, then other times it'll work completely fine.. but MoTweets I like better anyways
Ok, I give up. I restored everything to the way I had it when it was working and now I'm having problems again. After the screen turns off and I turn it back on, it locks up and won't scroll and has the touch lag issue.
Hope someone figures this out. Shouldn't have messed with success. Good luck.

Are you running TouchFLO?
As mentioned before -for me, turning off TouchFLO (and running Titanium) fixed this 100%...

I'm not using the TouchFLO interface, does that mean its still on though?
I'm not completely up on understanding all this
This was happening with Vin's Rom for me as well. I was tripping out pressing ON so many times with no screen showing up but phone light on! I believe it could be the power settings. I disabled the "Turn off device" which I believe was mentioned in his notes about the rom.
I gave up on this problem for a while but found something when researching how to disable to cube. I used the registry edit in this thread to disable to cube post #69. I didn't do any of the other steps because I'm not having memory probs (42% with pocketwit in the bckgrd).

I noticed that biotouch.exe never shows up in the running processes menu in CleanRAM and I don't have the "lock/freeze" scrolling problem any longer and I can run CleanRam without the problem occurring. I can press any item on the screen as well with no delayed response.
However, this stops you from being able to finger scroll and do the "side to side" scroll in Messaging. I never really finger scrolled and prefer using the d-pad for scrolling so losing that functionality isn't a big deal to me.
If anyone can figure out how to keep this working so smooth and have the option to finger scroll, I'd be much obliged. It just seems that biotouch.exe craps out sometimes and locks up the d-pad. If they could both work equally well....
Hi,Guys...
Two days ago I was interested on a thread in Reddit, since it cant be accessed freely in my country so I choose to try it with VPN.
Then I installed alot of VPN apps and I just realized everything was turning ON at the same time and my phone start to laggy then freeze/stuck. Can't do a thing like moving screen or pressing button which force me to restart the phone.
After the phone reboot I uninstalled all of the VPN that I've been downloaded.
Then I look on my screen which is full of dulls cuz of use, so I wiped it with soft cloth (i like shiny screen), since the Ambient Display in ON, the screen was moved along with the wipe process which make the notification tile move up and down and the switch like Wifi,Mobile Data, DnD, etc get pressed randomly many times, then the phone freeze/stuck again.
I rebooted it, and when I'm about to use it like 5-10 seconds it freeze again but this time it had adjacent lines and have color like rainbow (i dont know what it called), and this is the beginning of the problem. It keep happening even now.
I can't use my phone for few minutes. Keep freezing/stuck sometimes it have lines sometimes dont.
Even if after I restart the phone and let it boot to homescreen, sometimes it would restart it by itself.
Is there anyone who ever face this kind of problem? I'm hoping this is not related to the hardware since until now this phone is not officialy released in my country so I dont know where I can bring this phone to get serviced.
Please for anyone who can tell me what to do to help bring my daily phone to be normal again.
Thanks in advanced. And sorry if my english is not that good.
bump. I have the same issue.

Hi man,
Sorry to hear that you have the same problem as mine ? Did you fixed already ?
I fixed mine (I guess..it's been a week without problem) with someone help
Maybe you should try it yourself and hope the method will work with your 5x too :highfive:
