Phone alarm and wm6 problems

Anyone have problems with phone alarm and wm6. Everytime I soft reset since install in wm6 I get a missed call from (000)000-0000?

Which version are you using (of phonealarm)

No problems here with version 1.58 build 100. Using latest LVSW.

Try running the latest beta version (available on the pocketmax forum)

000-000-0000 is a skype. Unfortunately some networks still allow that number to come in. I got one myself today. Ridiculous because if you block it no one from skype will be able to call you.

I have pa 1.58 (build 100). Can you get a skype number if you don't use skype or have there software installed.

Still getting the missed calls from (000)000-0000. The phone doesnt ring just a notification of missed call. Happens 3-4 time a day now. Anyone have any ideas.

I am having problems with PhonelAlarm and WM6 as well. I'm running the LSVW 26-3 edition without any problems except for PhoneAlarm.
I've tried PA 1.58 (full/lite) and 1.6B9 + 1.6B10 (full/lite) and i've no reminders for missed calls and missed sms (the others i don't use).
I also tried the new app alarmPal 0.3 (which is exactly what i need), but also no luck...
(you find alarmPal (still beta) here: http://www.pocketmax.net/smf/index.php?topic=4030.0 )
No notification, no sound ;(
I've searched allready and it seems that a lot of people are running PhoneAlarm on their LVSW Phones without problems. I also made a clean install follwing mrvanx guide and installed PA as my only app, no luck.
Maybe someone running PA could point me in the right direction.
Thanks a lot,

Am using PA 1.6 b9 on black 2.0 no problems.

How long does the Beta version last for?
I used 1.58 before and it has "tearing" screen refresh issue. I.e. when I open another program and go back to Today screen, PhoneAlarm graphics are messed up.

Same as the final release, 30 days.
Have you tried a different skin? I've read that there are some skins that will work with WM6 and some not, i just can't remember the name ;(
Some people also reported that if you set the startupdelay in the pa-config (~10sec.) helps, followed buy one two or sometimes even three reboots....

I just tried 1.60B9 again and still no luck.

Starting to feel like a stupid easter lamb.

Have you revised the profiles for the notifications configuration?
I noted that the default sounds for notifications dosn't are the corrects WAV and WMA in LVSW cause PA came preconfigured to expecific WAVs and VMA . Perhaps this files dosn't exist in the ROM version you are trying, and must to modify to select the correct audio files.
Hope this helps you.

Tried, and it seems to work. the Problem seems to be that PA and alarmPal can not play sounds from the memorycard. What got me confused, is the fact that if you select the specific sound in the pa-settings the sound files are all playing fine, but you can not use them for your reminders...
I fell a little ashamed now, because this was actually the first thing i tried but did not invetigated it deeper, because the sounds were playing fine during setup.
Thanks for your help
Now it is even working with alarmPal
love it!

Public Apologies to Olipro

It happened what I feared...the purpose of my 3d was completely misunderstood ( maybe because I'm not mothertongue English?).
I have absolutely nothing against Olipro , infact when I wrote he might have been the "culprit" I wrote culprit between " "...
I think he is a great guy even if I don't know him in the flesh and I completely trust him , proof is that I flashed his boot loader myself too...
I was just trying to understand which common points are there between all of us experiencing the SOD and I thought, from the very little that I know , that this could have been a possibility but if you read my 3d you'll find that I'm doing also other considerations so , in my opinion , closing it so quickly wasn't after all a good idea.
But this is life , Olipro is correctly consider a guru inside here and I'm nothing so i can understand all this reaction to protect him even if my intentions have been over looked because as I already wrote it was not my will to offend him or his job which is always great. I just wanted to break the discussion concerning the SOD which is always rotating around the same things and possible culprits and in this way we haven't reached very much so far...
I'm confident that Olipro didn't get upset after my message, I don't see a reason why others should do.
Regards all and thanks for the flame!

Uh!...by the way, To answer to Bram87 I also did flash the new official WM6release from HTC but it didn't solve the issue I'm afraid.

SO you are adding some third party applications...?

Man, you are obstinate.....
FYI: I'm using Olipros Bootloader since some months and I flashed at about 15 Roms and I never had a SOD.
Conclusion: Olipro ist NOT causing SOD'S.

hmm..strange. I downloaded this HTC wm6 rom http://www.megaupload.com/nl/?d=IASNVPS7

Oh yes, many of them... the same third party apps that I installed soon after I bought the tytn and didn't give me the SOD , including Wisbar and SPB software including mobile shell...

Then you really should read up on your problem.
Most of the sleep of death issues have been identified as caused by third party apps.
Sounds to me like you are either using an application that simply isnt compatible with WM6 or you haven't downloaded the latest versions (SPB particularly, you need the latest updates).

When you bought your device it came with WM5. Most of the apps are designed for WM5 and some of them are causing troubles with WM6.
If you want to check out which apps are causing troubles flash a rom and run it without any app for some days. Then start to install one app after the other and test every app carefully.
As I told you above: I never had a SOD even though I've installed Olipros bootloader

I'm glad to find that Olipro bootloader didn't ease the SOD thing...
I already did the kind of troubleshooting you suggested me without being able to isolate the problem.
My SOD started with WM5 and I decided to upgrade to WM6 for this reason but now it's back again!!!

Now I don't have any SPB software acting in the background installed and I had the latest SOD one hour ago... Wisbar still onboard but auto start disabled and not running at the moment...

I just downloaded the file...It's a different one from the other that I got out of Rapidshare...I will decide in the next days after testing some more the one that I have now... In case I need to flash the dopod one, do I need to remap the keyboard as I remember to have read somewhere or it's just flash it/use it? If yes can you point me out where to get directions or if short can you post how you did?

I thought it had been agreed that SOD was caused by the messenging app (mail) set to check mail regularly. I had SOD when this was set and also when I had it checking an exchange account (Mail2web).
I check mail manualy now and my tytn has been extremely stable. I have not had SOD for months.
using LVSW 19-5-07 (elf edition)

Looks like the Toshiba G900 is having sleep of death issues too. So, I think it is pretty safe to that Olipro is not the cause of the SOD. Hopefully someone can nail down the real cause of SOD soon as it seems to be a widespread issue that doesn't seem to have any rhyme or reason.

Personally, my ollllld SOD issues were SD card related, exchange with retrieving items as they arrive has worked flawlessly for months now, I dont think there is one determining factor for the SOD's.
Since I see this thread is about Olipro, where is he nowdays, I never see him on the board, but then again I dont visit the other sections much.

One thing I noticed and it could be a coincidence...my SOD went away after I got rid of (unchecked) encryption. Just a thought...

I had a few SOD's back on Black 1.2 and I believe that was a Storage Card/apps issue. With Black Majik, I've never had a SOD and I run the same apps in the same manner I did from 1.2 with a few minor exceptions. One, I got rid of WAD. As great as it looks, it slows the device down and was a constant SR issue. Most of my main apps that need to constantly run I have stored to the device and NOT the storage card, so that too may be a hint as to why the SOD may occur. Do I think we'll ever narrow it down to a specific thing? No, cause I beleive many different things can cause it, and as all of our devices are unique, then it's up to each of us to work-out the SOD issue on our own with some of these threads as advice. I'm happy with my setup now and the SOD is a non issue.

The HTC Rom branded as pre-release (OS Build 1238 so far i remember) is known to have SOD.
Just avoid this rom and flash to another.

Looking for a rom without mem leaks and battery drains

Is there a rom which does not have these 2 problems?
I don't care if it is official, cooked, lite, clean.
Up to now I've tried the official and the latest one from bepe.
The official seems to have the battery problem, and bepe's seems to have both.
Now I'm going to try ADW version 1.1 .
Please post your experiences concerning these two bugs so we can save time on flashing our devices constantly.
Thanks

I am using AX3L 3.1.2.c Lite for some while now and have never experienced issues like these. (free memory stable at 28 MB and battery life beats 72 hours).

To me Mary 3.3.5 SL and AXEL 3.1.2.c Lite.
These are the ones I use over and over,battery is pretty good and so is memory,maybe someone doesn´t agree with me but this is just what I think or maybe is because of the third party apps I use.

thanks for your input.
I'm now going to try the new pdaviet one:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=352550
even if its revision is fake, it might be worth it.
I'll post my findings

Hey guys.
I have this stupid doubt,long time ago in this forum was rumoured that one of the X-buttons was the reason of a battery leak.
Does anyone remember some of this or knows anything about?
Thanks.

What do you mean 'one of the X buttons'?

as I understand, the pdaviet rom has 3 big advantages:
*fixes the password and account corruption bug
* battery lasts more than other roms (but i'm still not satisfied)
* no memory drain
what other roms meet these specifications?
I'm very happy with this rom except from the fact that they always customize dialers, icons etc.
oh and video calling is not working (even if you change the dialer)

The X button is window task manager or HTC task manager.....
Are you sure about it? can you let me know how to check it?

Sorry widigol,I don´t know how to do it,this were old rumors posted in this forum long time ago....it was just a question in case someone remember.

I remember a battery drain due to SD Card... enabling its power management reduced the power drain.

I believe it was a setting... Some of the Rom's had the default set to minimize when tapping the "X" rather than close, switching the setting to Close on Tapping "X" resolved the problem of not keeping multiple applications constantly opened, thus many were reporting memory leaks... but it was probably just utilitizing too many resources...
However, new versions of the HTC Task Manager, can't really remember 2.xx or something had issues which did not save settings after tapping the "X".
I'm not sure if this is what you are referring to, but just my 2 cents... It's been awhile...
Good luck in your search

Thanks for your response and that nice explanation.

S2U2 : power button issue (dutty v3)

Hi everyone,
I just flashed the new dutty v3, and reinstalled HD tweak and S2U2.
I tried S2U2 last version, 1.62, with and without fix, and could not get the next alarm displayed, so I switched back to 1.52, now I have the next alarm back.
But, with 1.62 or 1.52, I have the same problem : when I press the power button (not waiting for the backlight to stop), S2U2 does not launch, so when I press the power button again, the phone is not locked
With HD Tweak, I then set the auto lock to Enable, but still, the device is now locked with the standard Windows lock.
Anyone got an idea ?
Thanks a lot,
JP.

perhaps you should post this in Dutty's V3 thread
as your running that rom,
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=507372

Ok, I'll try it. I was not sure because it is linked to S2U2 and not to a stock application of this ROM.

not had any of the issues you mentioned above with Dutty v3 and S2u2 1.62.
I don't have it installed anymore though as it drains the battery too much and I couldn't be bothered messing too much.

I have the Dutty V3 ROM and S2U2 1.62 on my device, and it's working fine here as well... Good luck sorting it out
btw; could you lock your device the first time with 1.62? Before installing the older version I mean?

Yes I could.
Maybe I'll try another lock app and wait for the next version of S2U2...hoping it'll work. Since I have no idea on how to "debug" this kind of thing.

wow.. I have never had an issue finding that rom on tha htc site...
Finally installed this rom last week after so long using 6.0 with really no issues (oct 2008) I have had a lot of problems since.. (i sware bell releaced this to cripple tha touch) Main two problems: One: camera will Not work (it did work afew times and i noticed improvments 1: works a lot better in low lighting in doors, 2: now allso you can zoom) But now it will Not open.. i can get it to open via camera album but opens in half tha screen and cannot use any options...
Two: htc home customizer does not install - rather hermes 2.1 cab anyway (to enable 6 tabs instead of 4) freezes my phone and im forced to hard reset (6 time with in tha first 24hours)
have others but those are my main issues.. anyone else? or anyone got fix's or answers?
I know i should have flashed a custom rom, after this but didnt want to brick my phone & returned my computer with in a week.. may be awhile before I get another...
Thanks XDA

I have not used HHC in forever... but it shouldn't have that kind of behavior. And yes, you should flash to a custom rom if you want to get the best out of your Touch.
