Anyone having trouble with wm6.5 v12?

Flashed NSFFAN's 6.5 v12, and works great for a day or two, then it freezes and losses all settings and deletes everythign! Soft reset or hard reset will get it to work teporarliy but it will only freeze again. Runing verizon radio 3.37.78. Any suggestions? Does anyone have v10 still? Might flash back to that. Thanks for your help.

Flash again... you should flash 2-3x when going to a new ROM to make sure it works right.

i have been running v12 for 2 days now and havent had any issues at all still smooth and very responsive

I'm having the same problem...I flashed twice and hard reset and still won't work properly after a few days. Is it because I'm installing games and apps that freeze up the rom??...I get frustrated when I have to restore all the apps and phone numbers from scratch repetitively...Is there anyway I could modify the autoconfig to change the settings to how I like them and have it install apps and games and restore my contacts using PIM Backup???....help pleeeeez!

NFSFAN roms support user customizations. Take a look at SdConfigGen; once you have it set up any time you flash it will install all your programs and xml provisioning files as part of the rom customization.

I installed v12 on 2 phones, with no issues. Both phones run flawlessly, and fast as hell.
Here's what else I have installed, mostly to the SD card.
Sprint MMS, Sprint DCD Carrier Cab, Pocket Earth 3.5 (slow) Skype, Team One's Reader 3, Fennec (it blows / VGA version I think), Sprint TV, Facebook, FIM, Cash Org 8, Opera 9, Efficasoft GPS Utils, Mobile Netflix, TT Nav 7 +USA/Canada, Warfare Inc, Tower Mogul, Guitar Hero IV, Arvale, Cops & Robbers, SPB Air Islands, Peggle, 5 more JAVA Games, etc. etc.
This ROM has been working absolutely great-
Here's some things I did that might work for other people -
Don't backup your old TXTs, Emails, Tasks, Appts or Contacts, and Don't restore them. Sync to google, MSN or an exchange server. I have my contacts, calender and appts. synced to Gmail and to my work's exchange server, it restores them all when you first sync. On my V-11 install I restored all of that from PIM Backup and it bogged my phone like mad / froze whenever I went into my texts from Titanium. On my V-12 install, I just backed them up but never restored- no more Text issues.
Pull out your SD Card prior to flashing-
Flash W/O SD Card installed.
Fully FORMAT your SD Card, install after all customizations run.
I know, the SD should not affect performance at all, but for some reason I had all kinds of crap on mine. When I formated and installed it like new on this last install, all my problems went away.
Been working awesome ever since.

Double Post- oops.

but how do I make modifications to the file?...is there a tutorial that has screen shots??... or even better a video??

Same problem here. I had very few apps installed.

I flashed 2 Sprint HTC Touch. 1 with problems and 1 without problems.
The one without the problem went from WM6.1 to WM6.5 V12 without any problems. I tried to troubleshoot by pinpointing software but it seems like it's a ROM problem.
The one with problems has been consistantly updated with WM 6.5 V10, V11, then V12....once at V12 it would freeze and HARD RESETS!!! FREQUENTLY! I reflashed it 4x and hard reset after each time....all with the same result...random HARD RESETS. I don't konw why...had to downgrade from 6.5 to 6.1 v1.12 spint

No real issues to speak of with the following:
I have
Resco Radio
WunderRadio
EZinput V2.388 keyboard
CAnalogClock, CFacebook facebook&FIM home plug in and apps
Memory status (Titanium system) plug in
Ccomm manager plug in
iContact
Core Player
Skyfire
Music ID
Activesync set up with my google account
Advanced Task manager
Rhodium HTC Calculator
I'm at around 45-48 mem usage on average when idle. i was using vista battery gauge, but I found it slowing the system and using battery for soem wierd reason.
PS: I know the plug ins show WiFi even though the vogue doesn't have it, but they are super useful none the less.

I have notice some flaws with the VZW 6.5
Contacts:
If I select a person that I want to call & if there are multiple numbers is where I notice the problem. I think the mobile number is the first option by default. If I use the D-pad to select say the work number the screen reverts back to the top of the contacts list.
Call History:
I can’t use the D-pad to simply scroll through call history. When I get passed the fourth number all the numbers are highlighted blue & the names become illegible.
eWallet:
If I need to look at a password key I should only have to tap the selection once but I have to tap twice. Then it brings me to the screen to edit the fields which isn’t correct.
These issues may seem to be relatively minor but I didn’t have these issue with the VZw 6.1 ROM

massive reboot
i've flashed my Telus CDMA with the WM6.5 V12 ROM and my phone reboot and reboot and reboot... i've flashed 3 times now and it still reboot again and again but only when i disconnect the usb cable, when it's plugged to the phone, it goes well but always when i disconnect the cable.. phone restart. What can cause that failure ?

One little thng I noticed is the icons on the left side of the call history screen is missing.

Got it to work
To fix the problem, I did the following:
-Went to HTC's website and downloaded the latest Sprint ROM.
-Reinstalled V12.
A couple of notes:
-I was using radio 3.42.50. After downloading the official rom, I have 3.42.30.
-I had to repeat the process twice because the first time I did it, I had no data. The second time through I verified I had data with the official ROM before upgrading to V12.

That would be the correct thing to have done in the first place. Flashing your own carriers radio and letting customizations rrun helps ensure your phone is properly provisioned. The difference between the .30 and .50 radio is virtually none. Back when the 6.1 updates first came out (including the 3.xx radios with rev.a and gps) people were updating other carriers radio's to get gps, rev a etc. Now that most carriers have had official 6.1 updates since last August or so that is not required.
The only possible exception might be the verizon slaves with the gps problems.

Data connection on demand

Okay I am really starting to regret this phone as its being a pain. I have an ATT tilt2 on Rogers and settings all work.
On my Kaiser when an app needed the Data it would turn it on and all would be good. Then after a certain amt of time of non use it would disconnect the data. Is there a setting that allows the phone to turn on the data when its needed? It seems that its either on or off.
This leads me to the second issue. About 5 times a day I get a message that the connection failed. I can then go to the settings and turn on the data connection and the internet will work again. I have never turned it off nor do I have any programs that restrict it.
Lastly, I have a bunch of factory connections that I can not use as I am not on ATT's service plus a few I created when I was first setting up the phone. I can delete some of them in connection manager how do I get rid of them permanantly?
It seems to me that there is way less user configuration in 6.5 than in 6.1 yet thanks to ATT its 3 times as large. Can anyone suggest a work around for the Data on demand issue?

I use HD Tweak and it works fairly well. Because the hardware is a little different, not all of the settings translate, but the things that are common between both phones works fine. You can find the link on this post:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=452505
Under section 6 (Data), there is a "Disconnect After", which I set for 2 minutes. Once the data is idle for 2 mins, it disconnects. The next time a program needs it again, the data connects again. Don't forget to soft reset after making changes.
Hope this helps

Okay got it working
Thanks its working now. I had installed that but there must have been somthing corrupt in my ROM as I was also unable to Harddpl it. I did two hard resets in a row, was able to flash then reistalled and now it seems to work fine.
Now if someone would make an app that uses different LED's for different notices similar to the Kaiser Notification app that was awsome.

Google Maps no longer functions

I posted before about my phone always starting up in airplane mode (here) after trying to get flash working on Opera.
Well for some reason, that has gone away. YAY!
But now, google maps no longer works. BOOoo!
What happened is that I started it up at the beginning of my weekly road trip, it looked like everything was working but the "Loading" note at the top was persistent AND traffic wasn't loading. If I moved the map around, new sections of the map were being downloaded without a problem. Opera works with no problem.
I then got this error:
Network Unavailable
This application requires a data connection. Please contact your carrier, or visit www.google.com/gmm/configure.html on your computer for more info.
(Error: wininetHttpError [0 12007])
I have had Google Maps die on me before so I keep the latest version on my SD card just in case. I removed Google and reinstalled. Now it doesn't even get to a map and gives the same error message.
Because of my weekly roadtrip, Google Maps is very important to me. Does anyone have any suggestions?

If you are having so many probs why don you just hard reset or even change ROM?
Perhaps that could help.
And don´t forget to vote for Rhodium

Hard reset is always an option but it is such a pain in the ass to reload everything that is working fine now.
As for loading a new ROM, for some reason I am told that I already unlocked my phone when I run the utility. Also, none of the ROMS look (or sound like they perform) all that different from AT&T's stock ROM after the available tweaks.

Scratch hard reset from the list of potential fixes.

Solved.

Weird Market Problems on Desire

Just got my HTC Desire today and everything is working fine apart from the android market. I have 3 problems:
1) I don't have the paid apps tab only top free and just in. I can see paid apps within the just in section, but not top paid apps.
2) When I clock on the install button I get a blank screen with just the background gui showing for at least 10-20 seconds before the confirmation screen that shows what permissions the app needs is finally shown.
3) Apps install correctly however they never get removed from the "currently downloading" list in the Downloads section of the android market.
I got the phone through virgin mobile and I am currently using a t-mobile sim in it. I have tried doing a factory reset which didn't solve the problem.
Anyone had any similar issues?
Liam

Please search before posting.
Your problems will be solved by removing t-mobile content lock. It can be done through their website or by calling customer service.
One problem will remain though: so far no one can see copy-protected apps because market is not recognizing our build number. It should be solved soon though.

Hi,
The phone actually came from Virgin Mobile, but for the moment I am using my old T-Mobile sim which used to be in my G1 which didn't have any problems with the market. I seem to remember de-activating the content lock when I used the browser for the first time on my g1.

I just checked on my t-mobile account details and I definitely have the content lock turned off.
I still have the same problem with the market, i.e. I get about 20 seconds of blank screen after clicking install before the permission confirmation details come up.
And after an app is installed it still shows in the download section as installing with the grey progress bar and doesn't disappear unless I go to the settings/Applications and clear the cache in download manager, market and force close the market app.
Anyone have any similar problems? I have done a full factory reset three times, still the same problems.
Liam

I just got mine, its a open one unbranded. I can neither connect to gtalk or download apps, both hang. I have read similar problems for the Droid, but the fixes dont work for me.

Also can you connect the device to the internet via the PC, like windows mobile ?

That's odd. My problems were solved by removing content lock.
Does the same thing happen on WiFi? Did you try to restart the device?
Regarding PC to phone tethering, it's not possible over USB. There are guides on how to do it over WiFi though.

Its the same for me : confirmed that content lock is off.
and still have this problem.
On Tmobile, upgraded from G1, same sim.
I get this on wifi or not.
If I restart the device, the Market Place states its installed correctly (like it should do). But installing another shows the same problem.
I've done a Factory Reset via the menu and that did solve it.
And I've just phoned tmo tech support, and they recommend resetting via fastboot.
I'll give that a go later, and post back the results.
Any other ideas?

Its really weird. Yesterday at a different wifi location it worked fine. But again its not working in work. I assume then the downloads are being blocked by the service provider, or the router.
Thats really crap you cannot connect to the internet via the USB cable like in windows mobile. I cant get my data service working either - so in work I have to work.

ok, I did a clear storage from the fastboot menu, I assumed that what he meant, had no effect.
but figured it out!!!!!!
its my gmail/Google account thats the problem! if I reset the phone and created a new account it works fine. log back in as me, bang. back as previously created new account, fine.
1. is this the same for other people?
2. the people who are having this problem, are you all previous Android users?
3. if so, what phone? me was G1.
I will have to raise a bug with android or google on this.
I now also have to ring back tmo and tell them this info, as I'm guessing by his language he want to take the phone back in.

Beware that while most apps like gmail, calendar, contacts, etc work using port 80 (HTTP), both google talk and android market use different ports.
In my school network I can't connect to gtalk or download from market because they block those ports on the firewall.

I previously had a g1 and think the problems I was having had something to do with my gmail account but it seemed to resolve itself after several factory resets.
I am not convinced that the factory reset was what fixed it, I just think it needed a bit of time to sort itself out.
I wonder if having a new device with the same gmail account causes the issue and it takes a while to recognise the new device. though that doesn't really explain the behaviour I was seeing.

I cannot find a way around this.
My google account shows the slowness and install problems, a test/temp/dummy/other account does not, I do not want to change my email address!
So I have emailed Google, see where that gets me.
Anyone know/think-of any other routes?

I am having problems with the Market on my new Desire. I previously had a G1.
1. When I select Downloads tab, it takes about 10 seconds before the loading text is displayed.
2. When selecting something to install, the 1st info page with the install button is displayed but with no info/text/etc, ie only the install button, again about a 10sec wait and the info shows fine.
3. When selecting install, the security confirm page is displayed but is blank, no text or buttons, another 10secs and its displayed.
4. If I actually go to install an app, it correctly redirects me back to the last market list page. From there if I go to Downloads, after the 10sec wait, it always states "installing", even when its finished, and pushed a notification up.
I can use the app, but the market always states installing. Even hours after. These all queue up and never clear.
Only rebooting the phone clears the installing app, and correctly marks them as installed.
5. Uninstalling app cannot be completed at all. I select uninstall, and it pops up the confirmation box, but then displays a blank page, and after the 10 or so seconds, displays the "Uninstalling application" with progress bar, but never completes. Again only a reboot corrects this.
All this occurs for any app.
I have done many Factory Resets from software, and Clear Storage from Fastboot.
Interestingly, my phone works corrected with a new account, I reset the phone and instead of signing in with my usual account, I created a new one, this worked very fast and correctly. Signing back in with my normal account again showed the same problems.

same problem here, gone from a G1 to HTC desire not tryed to sign up with a new account simply becasue i had the xxxx.xxxgmail mail now for over 18 months and rely on it.

All I know is that the day after I got my Desire, probably about 24 hours after first turning it on (and after 4 factory resets which may have nothing to do with it) I was installing an app, which had the same problems i.e. delayed permissions screen, remaining in the download screen even after being installed succesfully, then a few minutes later I went to install another app and it was fine, no delay, suddenly I had the Top Paid apps tab and apps did not remain in the download section as still downloading. It has been fine ever since.
It seems that all of us who have this problem have had G1s previously so it must be something to do with that.

I experienced this issue with my new desire but not one with older rom. Both from T-Mobile. The funny thing was first day it was running pretty slow, could not view paid apps either but now it is much faster as it should be and paid apps have appeared too. So it's working brilliantly.

i have market problems too... i cant see many market apps, including paid apps which i bought..
it's a free desire with vodafone spain sim.

That's a different issue, apparently Google have not yet added the HTC Desires "fingerprint" to some kind of database that enables access to apps with copy protection, this is why some apps you have previously purchased won't show up.
Apparently this happens with all new handsets, though why Google don't get this resolved before the phones release I don't know, as it doesn't give a great experience to the end user (HTC say they sent the fingerprint well before the phone was released but google haven't processed it yet).
Hopefully this should be resolved soon. Until then I have had to extract a few of my more regularly used protected apps from my G1 with root.

But it happens to me with free apps too.

Any application developer can choose to use copy protection, some free apps choose to do that.

Unvoluntary big internet donwnloads

I live in Bolivia, my cellular provider is Tigo.
I own and HTC Touch pro2 (AT&T HTC Tilt2) and I had this problem: Involuntary internet connections happen in my phone, my cellular provider has billed me 16 MB for internet navigation in a single day. Their explanation is that probably phone has connected in background using an application. I know the touch flo interface connects to download e-mail headers and weather reports, but I find difficult that this application can use 16MB What can be happening?
As I said all the 16MB were downloaded in a single day and the last 3MB in 5 minutes after downloading internet connection.
Besides the default applications I have just installed pocket e-sword, a bible reader that does not connect to Internet
Is there an application that downloads this quantity of information?
If so, how can I disable it?
Is there any way to see which is the server where my cell connected and what it was doing?
Is there any way to set up my phone with a max download data amount?
The solution that the cell provider gave me momentanially is to disable my internet conection, but that is not exactly what I want.
Thanks on advance.
Igor

Well if you are using Sense, it downloads weather if you dont have it set not to. You might also want to disable the "Get my location at anytime" feature, because it may use AGPS. But I really dont know what else would cause this other than the fact that it is Windows, and it loves its TCP/IP. but the best thing to do would be to use MoDaco - No data to disable the data connections, then when you want to use them just turn them back on.

Thank you
What's MODACO???
How do I disable "Get my location at anytime" ???

Modaco is another website with a forum.
Not sure if this is the latest version, but a quick google of this site turned up the Modaco No Data cab attached to this thread.
btw, you could use something like the SPB GPRS monitor to keep an eye on when internet connections are being made, and how much data is being down/uploaded. If you check task manager when you see a connection being made, perhaps we can trace where the data is being requested. I believe there is a demo version available of this program. I've not yet got a TP2, but can at least confirm that this monitor works fine on a TyTn II. You'll need to tell it which connection to monitor. Battery Status plugin for the today screen should apparently also do the trick.
If you ever get really desperate, you could always use WiFi at home to test without involving spending more, and use your PC to sniff the packets, check for what IP addresses and types of data are being requested. There maybe an app to do this directly on your phone, but I've not looked.
