Help Fast Please

Don't know what happened to my phone today, but it has become slower than I know slow to be. None of my messages make noise when I receive them. None of my contacts show up, but they are still listed when I just push TALK. It won't download anything. It's still functional, but it just seems like it's literally dying.
EDIT: Oh yah, and my home screen won't reload. I have to go to something else and come back for the time to update and I also just noticed I don't even get a message alert on the screen when I get a new one. Geez!
I don't want to have to wipe and reload a ROM again because I had this phone just the way I wanted it. Anyone know any tricks?
Thanks in advance.

instead of reloading the rom, just go to start > accessories and hit clear storage? yea you will lose all your stuff...but sounds like you are gonna lose it anyways....go do a backup with sprite or spb if you can...then just clear it, reload the keyboard fix...and i think you would be set
might have to run the connection setup too...i dont remember.
but it just doesnt sound like its worth trying to troubleshoot it over the interwebz...like usual..i may be wrong...most likely am..

Like he said above, I was having the same problem and I just did a clear storage and it seems to work to perfection now.

Ahh yes the power of Sprite.......what a great safety blanket...

First thing I would do is try a new battery.

id try the free fix first to be honest...

(solved) weird program (xpopuptoast) popups in task manager

hi folks, just then i had a weird moment with my rhodium. I had just sent an sms to my friend, then i click the htc task manager up the top right of screen and i somehow found a file running, using file explorer icon, and its called "xpopupx....." i couldnt remember the rest.
I clicked on it, it didnt do anything and just disappear. Maybe im just paranoid, but what the hell was that? a spyware? a malware?
Dig through google and found nothing. This is the first time thing like this happen ever since i use winmo and the rhodium too.
Anybody got some lights in what that thing was?
*edit*
it happened again after i did a hard reset and this time i took note of what it was, and its actually called XPOPUPTOAST. No idea what it was, but it definitely happen after i sent an sms. It had the sms icon too.
Weird
Here is what i got after quick search around google:
it made an appearance on ppcgeeks forum HERE
On the Topaz thread on our beloved XDA Developer HERE
Small appearance HERE
Mentioned HERE
And at last, HERE
It seems that it occurs randomly and i have no idea how it happens or the effect of it. I'll just add it to the exclusive list and forget about it. Or just close it everytime it comes out.
Sorry for panicking in the first place
The problem is (kinda) solved.
Solution: forget about it.

bump ...
anyone?
or should i just hard reset for the sake of it?

Solved, last bump, hope this helps anyone who need it.

**Possibly Solved** No SMS, MMS Notification During Standby/Sleep

I think I may have stumbled onto a solution to our dreaded quiet phone that doesnt notify us of a SMS or MMS and possibly email when the phone goes to sleep or standby. I have searched asked inquired, and beat every search engine and found absolutely nothing. So being frustrated of seeing msgs pop up when I hit the power button to wake the phone up I went hunting and I think I found it. I tested this all of today and so far I havent missed one yet, and normally I miss at least 3 a day. Its still in a testing phase so I DONT guarantee this works, but with some feedback with others, it might be the solution. I did alot of comparing with my other phones and my 8125 and 8525 had a different value so i changed it to that value.
I have made it a cab file so that anyone who wants to try it can uninstall it if it doesnt work, I suggest a soft reset after making this change. This changes the following location:
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Drivers\BuiltIn\RIL]
"DisableSMSWakeUpEvent"=dword:00000001
to
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Drivers\BuiltIn\RIL]
"DisableSMSWakeUpEvent"=dword:00000000
Good Luck! And if it works or doesnt, please leave feedback of either thanx or didnt work, like I said so far its working on my att tilt 2 stock eu rom 1.86

Nice one, but its already been solved here.

Well at least its here, I know there is a ton of posts going around in here about this problem, and I did munerous searches, but obviously if you dont get the right keyword you'll never find the post.

so what does this do? light the screen up everytime there is a message? or basically just solve the problem of message not ringing in sleep mode?

Basically it does the same thing it did with the 8125 and the 8525 when a msg comes in the screen wakes up from sleep, so far (I thought) I might have found a solution, but it seems I was beaten to it.
So far there isnt a solution found yet of the alert coming thru without lighting the screen up as far as I know.

yea, i thought it lights up the screen when msg comes. I have a habit of putting the phone to sleep without locking it, so it might cause problem when i put it in my pocket as i receive message more than calls.
Thanks anyway mate

Yeah but if you have the end key setup as a long hold it will lock the screen to prevent that accidential tapping of the screen. Unless you have a modded rom then you would have to see what key it is. But hey for me its better then missing a msg.

Hi AngelDeath,
Just wanted to say thx for this one -I realise this thread is old, but it's sorted my no sms alert issue on my HD2. It had been driving me nuts for ages!

Voicemail Notification

Hi guys,
I'm not really new here but this is my first post. I've been reading xda forums for days now and it's nothing but good info and helpful tips. Just wanted to thank you guys for all your hard work. With that said, my phone just stopped notifying me that I have a voicemail completely. I checked my voicemail box today because my friend told me he left me a message about something. I had 8 new voicemails that I didn't check. I'm running Auto task killer so it kills all apps I've checked when I turn off the screen. Do I need to uncheck something from there for me to get voicemail notifications??? I'm not new to Android but when it comes to knowing what I'm exactly killing, I'm lost. There are bunch of apps running like com.htc.....and etc and I don't know what they are. So if you guys could please give me some help to get my voicemail notification to work I would really appreciate it. Thank you.

You can try to update your profile under system updates then reboot your phone.

i will give that a try. thank you very much for your super quick response.

Still nothing. I'm confused.

Rather than start a new thread...
Just today, I started getting a notification that a voicemail was pending, then that it couldn't be downloaded. I dialed into my voicemail, retrieved the vm and then... the darn notification won't go away.
I went into Settings and tried removing it. Didn't help.
I rebooted the phone. Didn't help.
I called the VM number, made sure there were no messages there. Same thing.
Any ideas?
Using the OTA2.2 and I have installed the OTA VM upgrade/update.

Open your voicemail, - press the menu button - settings - notifications - see if the check mark is on, select a ringtone. Back out completely, reboot your phone.

Should the check mark be in the Notifications box or not?
Should I try selecting a different ringtone??
I unselected the check that was there and rebooted; still have the notification. That seems really crazy to me.

Try leaving yourself a new VM and then check it...

I've actually had two new voicemails since then- they showed up. When I listened to them, it disappeared and then reappeared a minute later.
On the phone w/Sprint right now.

Having the same problem, did you get it fixed and if so please tell me how.
UPDATE: Found the fix in case anyone else has this problem
Settings/Applications/Manage Applications/Voicemail/Clear data
- This will wipe out your old Inbox messages but your filesystem will come clean

After about 1/2hr on the phone with Sprint, that was the exact same fix they came up with.
Actually a nice discovery, as that directory has a lot of nice options.

holy bumpination.
instead of hitting clear data you can force stop and reboot and that should fix it.
(force stopping and then clicking on the visual voicemal icon should be ok too)

Waterboy is right! it's much easier and you don't lose your voicemails!

Had this problem before. A simple reboot did the trick for me. :]

rebooted.. it worked for awhile. then it started up again. seems to be on and off.. very random. i looked thru everything on my phone thinking "maybe" theres some option thats making it do this, but nothing. its quite annoying when im trying to txt.

I'm assuming you're talking about the physical keyboard; its a quick keys bug, just push the search button first and it'll disable it

There actually is a setting for keyboard shortcuts - clear all of them and the problem goes away. No bug, the ROM has the shortcuts set when you flash it for some reason. Flash a newer ROM and it shouldn't do it - or just clear the shortcuts.
I can't look in my phone right now to tell you where the setting is at but it might do some good for you to look through them and become familiar so you don't call something a bug that isn't.

yeah i figured this was the problem. i looked through my phone pretty throughly and didn't see any options though. I'll look again and get back to this thread n report.

this has been happening on and off to my phone for the last couple of weeks, I am still running RC4. it is very strange, the ROM worked fine for a while and now does this every so often, pressing E opens email app, S opens search. a reboot fixed everytime and then for what seems like no reason at all, it starts again.
will go to stable this week and hopefully it will go away. just thought i'd add another device to the list of ones with the issue.
i have no shortcuts setup at all, and have double checked. have been using CM7 since the start and it never happened prior to RC4.

When this happen just hit the "symb/search" button and the keyboard will work again

Sorry it took so long to get back with the cure but here it is:
settings>applications>quick launch
In there is where all the hw keyboard shortcut settings are. Clear any you don't want, create new ones, or whatever. Clear the ones that are giving you issues and this should solve it. If you ever clear your user data (factory reset) then it clears these settings also, so you may have to go in and delete the shortcuts again.
Hope this helped!

thank you! i cleared it all.
