need help, after i soft reset my mini, the bluetooth icon in right hand bottom of the screen is lost, i cannot get it back. however, data transfering between pc and mini still work. bluetooth headset work as well, but the icon is just not there. can anyone help me to restore back? thanks
Had a similar problem but sorry I can't remember how and why. I think it was after I installed some 3rd party software.
One I upgraded to 1.12.00 the icon is back and fine
and if you make a second soft reset?
I had the same problem. The bluetooth icon came and went from reset to reset. Changing ROM version didn't make any difference.
At one time I noticed that after a hard reset, the icon was always back. But after installing a few programs, the on/off thing came back. I finally nailed it down to being the Paragon Language Extender causing my problems, so I stopped installing that.
I have been without the extender for more than a month now, and I haven't had a single BT icon problem during that period.
If you don't use that program, you must have a problem with another bad program. You will need to hard reset your device and then install your programs one by one, preferably over several days, to notice when the problem comes back.
Good luck!
from what I understand, the BT icon will timeout and not load if you have startup programs or today plugins that take a lot of time to load. Some examples are SBSH PocketBreeze or SPB PocketPlus. You can do a search in these forums to find a program called NoPluginsToday. I forgot the details of the program and installation but it works like a charm for me. I've been using it for months and my BT icon loads everytime.
No it wasn't pocketplus as I have that installed now I think it was another battery status plug-in I had installed that caused the problem. The one that places a battery level icon under the time in the top right corner.
guys, thanks for all your reply, i have already solve it, the battery pack is the problem, i got this answer from other forum and i unistalled it as what the guy teach me, it work, hope this will help others who is using battery pack and lost their BT icon, try to uninstalled it.
well ...
just like the title states my 8125 will go into hibernate mode and whne i go to power it back up it wont. the service light is still flashing but the screen will not appear..
anyone have a solution ?
Had the same problem on and off. Upgraded to 2.26 and have not had the problem since.
and how do i go about doing that?
is it a hard procedure? amd is it easy to screw up?
i did a hard reset on the device and the problem went away, then after about a month or 2 of use again it seems to have started happening.
I had that problem after I installed the test bluetooth stack... probably a memory leak issue...
anyone have suggestion what i should do ?
I had the same problem too.. I installed Memmaid, and checked the notifications queue. There was a program I installed which placed itself to run when the device woke up.. When I deleted it the problem was solved. But be careful, just delete 3rd party software entries. I guess this is easier than uninstallling them one by one. After spotting the problematic software, you can consider uninstalling it. Hope this helps.
well, you did do a hard reset right? That should tell you what software you installed that caused this, that is if you do your app installation one by one...
Another advice given to me is to get a task manager and monitor if any process/app take up too much memory..
the only apps i have installed are:
SPB Pocket Plus
SPB Weather
MemMAID
Resco Photo Viewer
Batti
Smartskey
Eten Dialer Skin
NFpencil - some nothing drawing/sketch application
it gets really annoying, when i do a soft reset it starts off with 22mb of memory by the end of the day or next morning its down to 18-17-16mb which is usually when it would freeze.
I have a problem and I hope someone can help me.....
First of all I have been having problems when soft-resetting my MDA Vario. When soft-resetting my device, it freezes when starting up. I have the following programs installed:
Wisbar Advance 2
SBSH PocketBreeze
SBSH PocketWeather
Windows Live Messenger Beta
I haven't found out what is causing the problem, but everytime it freezes I have to hard-reset my device which is totally getting frustrating!!! Usually it takes me about an hour to reinstall everything again, sync my contacts, tweaks in my registry and so on.
Has anyone else been having this problem or knows what is causing it to do this???? I'm just reinstalled everything again and everything is running smooth again, but I'm afraid to soft-reset my device again because I'm afraid it will freeze again on startup. Furthermore, everytime I sync my device I have a pain in the royal to get my contacts back the way they are....
I'm open to any suggestions! Thanks in advance!!
Freezing
Try not re-installing one of them after your next hard-reset.
It it no longer freezes - you have the culprit.

I have a feeling that it's WLM that is causing the problems. I know I shouldn't have installed it, but once you use it your hooked! Going back to the old Pocket MSN is like trading in a Ferrari for a old Toyota Corolla... although the old Corolla is like old fateful and won't let you down, driving a Ferrari is like a dream!
Anyway.... I will try rebooting when I get home and see if I find out the problem. Have you had this problem too ? Or is it just me ? I've done some searching and it seems that others have the problem but haven't been able to pin point it.
I just hope I can uninstall the WLM beta off my device without hard-resetting it.....
One thing I noticed on my device is that when you boot it up and leave it alone it will crash, but if you touch the screen or press a button every 30 seconds or so it boots up fine.
Think it is something to do with the standby setting after x seconds, if thats disabled it boots up ok.
Thanks for your reply!
I reinstalled everything on my phone again... getting to be a real pain reinstalling everything. Anyway, my vario works fine now with WLM, that did seem to be the problem.
But, how did you manage to disable the standby setting ??? And how did you find it out??? Have you tested this enough to know that this is the cause?
Maybe there is a registry tweak that will help, can anyone say which adjustment is necessary in your registry???
Hi,
Had this problem on my Hermes where the backlight timeout is always reset to 10secs no matter what i set it to once i perform a soft-reset (by poking the reset hole at the bottom). I've tried editing the registry entry directly, flash back to the manufacturer's default ROM etc but with mixed results.
What eventually worked for me is this:
Change your backlight settings but soft-reset using software instead of poking the reset hole. I used Tweaks2k2 to perform the soft-reset but any other tool should work.
In case you are wondering what is my registry type -- i'm already using a File-based registry rather than Hive. (see http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=767833 for more info).
Anyone has any alternative solutions that works?
cheers!
Patrick
Hi Patrick... bizarre -- my device exhibits the same annoying reset to 10-seconds, but only when using software reset, not hardware. What software are you using to soft reset? I've used both PHM Reset.exe and Wisbar Lite v1.1.0.7...
If I use the stylus to soft-reset, then the 'on battery' backlight timeout remains at 1-minute (where I like it).
I wondered what in the hell was causing this. A few searches couldn't find it.
I thought it was high cpu usage or something..

Hi aquaut88,
Hmm, that's interesting. I have the opposite effect when i use soft reset via hardware. I'm using Tweaks2k2 for my soft-reset now. Did you check ur registry type setting (hive vs file) to see if that makes a diff?
It was set at (1). I changed it to (0) and still same behaviour, so switched it back to (1). It seems to have to do with something installed (Maybe Resco Explorer?) Cheers

Hmm.. I have Resco Explorer installed too. Doesn't seem to be the culprit here.
I had the same problem until I removed Voicecommand 1.6.
When I loaded Voicecommend 1.6 to my 8525 it did something that re-locked my Ext Rom and was causing serval other problems like the backlight changing back to 10 sec. I am not sure if it was all the hacks I had to make to make VC 1.6 work or a semi-failed install.
But I finally hard reset my phone and reloaded everything but used Voicecommand 1.5 and have not had the problem since.
i also have this problem. but i am not sure what causes it.
it is a strange problem, after a hard reset my backlight settings remain as what I selected it to be. be after i install some apps, then the problem arises. I am not sure of which app(s) cause the problem. to find out i have to install each app after a HR and test to islate the culprit.
8525 - 10sec backlight problem also.
Having the SAME EXACT problem guys! My 8525 is also constantly switching back to a 10sec timeout on the backlight display. I do have Resco Explorer too, but I doubt its the problem. I've been reseting w/ the bottom-hole, but will try doing it via software.
Does anyone else have any real fixes though? This is making me CRAZY!!!
This seems related to restoring from a backup. It has happened to me twice after restoring from SPB Backup on my Universal.
The first time I hard-reset and reinstalled everything. The problem went away.
This weekend I had to restore from backup after a freeze and the problem came back (but not immediately). I think it occurs after a backup and after changing settings in the Settings applets (not sure which one).
I think it is a error in the driver. I get a related problem with the brightness. One of my own programs sets the brightness but strangely after a while it always goes back to the 3rd bar. It makes no difference if I lower the brightness using the backlight control, it will always end up on 3. If I make it brighter it seems to stay where I put it.

I concur. While not using Hermes, I am using a Samsung SGH-i607 (Blackjack) and after having to restore a back-up from Sprite, I started having this same issue. From everything that I have read, it seems that a hard reset and starting from scratch is the only true fix.
What good are the back-up programs if they leave your phone in this state? Kinf of sucks not feeling safe about being able to restore a back-up in the even it is needed.
i have been using battery status to fix my timeout at 30 seconds.. fixed my problem

Thats what did it for me too.
I have the same broblem. after "spb backup" restore backlight timout goes to 10sec. I had the same problem before on anotrer wm6 rom, and it starts after "spb backup" system restore too
I was just getting ready to hard reset my 8525, but before I uninstall Spb Backup from my SD and install new version (v1.6.3) on device memory to properly save my data, and ........?? problem disapears with it self..
I think problem was in non proper intsallation of backup program (on Micro SD).
now averything is ok without any hard reset
it keeps working normally only if I turn off device without lock.....
Following installation Backlight stuck @ 10sec WM v6.1
Thank you, downloaded latest Tweak2k2, installed and selected soft reset.
Backlight setting now perfect
“Contingency WM6.1 Backlight stuck at 10sec”.
Tried Trial version Tweak2k2 PPC Soft Reset and three attempts recognise this is only a temporary solution to "Contingency WM6.1 Backlight Stuck at 10sec” .
Telephoned HTC UK service, Sebastian says that If a hard reset fails to correct backlight contingency Kaiser will have to go to repair. Sebastian says that HTC do not provide Registry settings and customers that do change registry settings negate their warranty.
Request transfer to supervisor. Dan head of support says that I am the first customer with this contingency and that I need to do a hard reset and if contingency continues the Kaiser will need return to HTC for repair.
PS Thankfully HTC do not sell cars or bicycles as they would also say mending punctures negated the car or bicycle warranty!
Hello there guys. This is my first post on this forum, so please bear with me. I have problem on my device. Basically my htc hd2 was running fine, i had all my programs installed etc. I have created various backups of the phone using sprite backup.
I decided to do a hard reset because the phone never used to go into standby (screen off) when charging, only the backlight used to dim. I checked all the settings and i set the device to dim after 1 min and switch off after 2 mins when connected to external power. It still never switched off, this was turning out to be a nuisence specially when getting missed calls at night and screen staying on.
Therefore i done a hard reset and used sprite backup to restore various backup's as i had a few, but they wernt making the device function correctly. So once the backup file's were restored everything would be fine on the phone untill it went into standby, it then would fail to respond, sometimes the hardware button light up, sometimes nothing. The screen would remain off. I would really like to use the backup files as restoring the phone manually would be teadous. Any clues in what could be causing this, cant be the case off a bad backup as i have created a few.
P.S When hd2 is returned to stock it functions normally. Programs installed battlog, clear temp, bsb tweakes opera 10, opnmarket, skype, spb wireless monitor, coreplayer, srs wowhd 1.5.1.0 v2.1, coreplayer 1.3.6, myplayer, 1NETCFv35.wm.armv4i, 2NETCFv35.Messages.EN.wm, resco explorer + reg editor, cht cookie hometab.
Really appreciate it if you pros can shed any light on this? cheers
do you have s2u2 installed?
if so goto settjng power and switch power of in setting to off.
i had a similar problem, this seemed to cure it
hth
nev
Hi nev, thans for your reply, no i do not have s2u2 installed, also i would like to add that when the device was left overnight on charge, it fails to wake up,the screen stays blank only the hardware buttons light up and shows the orange charging light. Please guys help me out here, thanks
I'm a little stuck for another solution. I'd always thought that this was an issues with sprite and s2u2, seems no now.
Would you be willing to test? worse case you could un-install S2U2 or disable it.
It would be interesting to see if installing S2U2 and disabling the power option would fix the problem.
Which lock screen do you currently use?
All of the problems you are describing are exactly the same issues I was having.
Hi Nev, so you reckon sprite backup software could be the problem? I have never had S2U2 installed.
I have restored the phone to factory it works as it should. Nev are you suggesting that i install S2U2 after restoring the sprite backup file, then disable the power option?
oh i am using the winmo default lockscreen with device password.
How did you manage to fix your device then? Were you having the same issues when restoring using sprite back up files? If so could you please give me a brief rundown on what i should do?
Seems like this is not a common issue on here judging on lack of replies. Thanks for your help nev.
I'd give it a go. You have nothing to lose.
S2U2 is an excellent piece of software, amongst other things, it has password protection, and allows you the option of reviewing txt, mail, reminders, etc all from the lockscreen. Additionally, you can set it to allow quick switching between vibrate and sound profiles. ("sales" pitch over)
If your not going down this route I suspect that another hard reset and re-installing you apps from scratch is in order.... I did this about three times before I realised that there was a conflict when restoring from Sprite.
good luck

your symptoms seem kinda similar to "Leo Screen freeze crash Issue"
Thanks guys for your help, i think i am going to leave it stock for a while and see if the screen plays up. I dont fancy doing all the sofware installs, incase the device is faulty. Thank you that link p107r0
good luck with yours, btw I used to have the described 'syndrom', hard reset helped, since than I keep most of the old backup copies, assuming that if anything similar happens some of those should work properly
Same problem here - SOLVED
Guys,
I very recently faced the same problem that it was virtually impossible to wake up my HD2 from standby after I had to do a restore with Sprite Backup (same problem as reported by explicitsoundz1984).
Since I actually found two solutions to fix the problem permanently, I like to share them with you:
Solution 1) After I removed all non-stock program links from the autostart folder, the problem was still exisiting. Therefore, I checked the list of installed apps from explicitsoundz1984 with mime and found a potential suspect: "srs wowhd" which obviously is buried deeper in the OS. After de-installing "srs wowhd", the standby of death problem was permanently gone!
Solution 2) I read in another threat that the standard restore options of Sprite Backup do not replace the current registry with the backup registry, but tries to "merge" them - this obiously leads to the situation that a full restore from a stable backup set can result in an unstable configuration.
After changing the restore setting for "system settings" to "replace" instead of "merge", the resulting restore was again a stable one.
Cheers,
Jan
Yes
with Sprite you must use erase and restore. You have to reset these parameters each time you are going to do a restore. It merges by default. If you are going to restore directly from the backup file on the SD then just double click on the file and restore. Then go into Sprite and change the parameters to restore and erase and restore again. The first one directly from the file execute will merge A pain but it works.
