Device is very slow (hangs)

Hello!
I got a HTC Wizard (MDA Vario, t-mobile austria).
After a hardreset everything works fine. I can change Ringtone and notification sounds without a problem.
But it seems thath after the first sync with active sync 4.1 (build 4841) i only can hardly change the ringtones or any other notification sounds because it really takes very long (a few minutes)if you click on telephony settings (behaivor occours only on the tab with the sounds) or sounds & notification settings (also only on the tab where you can change the sounds). Device hangs with or without miniSD card inserted.
I only sync mail, contacts, notes, task, appointments and favorites.
Mail, appointments and contacts are synced over Exchange Active sync.
ROM-Version: 1.6.2.1 GER
ROM-Date: 11/14/05
Radio-Version: 01.12.10
Protocol-Version: 4.0.13.23
Is there somebody how knows this issue? Help wanted!
THX
Regards

Read this http://forum.xda-developers.com/viewtopic.php?t=37692

I already read this thread and can not belive this....because....
This only occours after the first Sync...before the first sync really everything is fine (also the sounds)
After the first sync the device also is fine and no problem.....until you want to change some sound...if you try to change the sounds AFTER the first sync this will cause the device to hang in this screen and of course if you try to start a new application then it will be very slow....
Maybe i missed something in the other thread or misunterstood something...hopefully not...

Update also got this with MDAPro (Universal)
Hello all...
Just want to tell i also got this issue with my Universal (MDAPro T-Mobile AT)
After hardreset everything is running fast. (sound preferences also)
After Active Sync it tooks very long time (really up to minutes instead of second(s)) to start the telephony preferences or sound and notification preferences.
I just try to reinstall active sync maybe there is some problem in the configuration.
Ill post information as soon it is available.
Regards

GOT a ?BUG? (in my case) ;-) seems to be some kind of DoS
Hi again....
After some testing i found the (a) bug...
It was only ONE note which causes this failure...it seems to some kind of Denial of Service because device only freezes if i got a special note on the device.
I tried this with two MDAPro (Universal) and one MDA Vario (Wizard) and on all devices the system hangs (freezes) if i got this Note on the device...after i removed this note everything was fine again.
Here is the text which the Note contains (without brackets!):
"_flowcontrol.........config für broadcom und intel...."
maybe someone can also try this and post his results or comments here!

Problems with Calendar Notificatios

I have a Hermes running Pocket Breeze and Pocket Informant 2007, however I don't seem to be getting any alarm notifications / alerts for calendar events..
Cant seem to find a setting in these apps. I am setting on alarm on the acutal event but it never notifes me.
I am also using phoneAlarm, can this be disabling them?
I have check under Sounds and Notifications and all is ticked for events/notifications.
Any ideas??
Thanks
Mark

Does anyone have any idea on this? If so could you please give me some pointers
Thanks
Mark

Could this problem be related to the "Notification Queue"????
Help.. I keep missing meetings..

Have you tried checking your notification queue for duplicates and/or out of date entries.
You can try scarybear checknotifications, memmaid or sk tools for this (prob there are others too)
Try this first, see if there are any duplicates or out of date entries. Delete all these, soft reset and then try again.
I use a combination of the above tools as I find that they often find dups or out of date entries that the others miss. Try checknotifications first (free), and see if this helps.

I still find that the known alarm problems with windows mobile persist into WM5. I use Tweaks2k2 to alter the wake-up settings. You can also get an alarm fix from Burr Oak software - its free the last time I looked. Look for "Wakeup Tweak Installer. I assume this is the same programme I used to use before I got Tweaks2k2.

Try uninstalling all non-core apps and see what happens. ie PI and phone Alarm. Clearly there is a conflict with 3 programs all having a go at alarming you, ie default calendar, PI calendar and phoneAlarm.
I have never had a problem with any alarm notifications, but then I am just using the default calendar.

0x80883001 - AS error?

I've had this come up a couple of times - major PITA - where you have to do a manual reset of AS - loosing updated information from the previous update. I googled that error and searched for it here, but found nothing helpful and no mention of it in the forums here. Anyone have this before or know if there's a way to fix it? I'm running g4 with the tnt 4 or 1537 (?)

Anyone? Bump!

happens to me too
it's sooooo obnoxious. I havent been able to find a pattern yet. It just randomly seems to give me that error. I'm using the htc kaiser w/ wm6. i do sync my pda between my laptop and my desktop. I've done that before with my htc blue angel and never had any problems with it.
it seems to happen at least once a week. the annoying part about it for me is that I have to delete all of my calendar items, contacts, and tasks on my laptop's outlook so I can sync them.

I don't have that problem anymore - and not sure why. I've switched roms so many times I think it might have been related to the rom - or maybe even the dst updates.

Work around
According some microsoft posts (users, nothing official) this is caused by syncing email containing sub-folders. I haven't tested other than to stop syncing emails. It works fine if I don't sync Emails.
Good luck!

I've seen a lot of ActiveSync errors (I hope that's what you're talking about, or I'm going to sound very off-topic). Use DotFred's Task Manager to remove all duplicate notifications from your device. 9 of 10 times, this will resolve ActiveSync errors.

I bet you're right. I think it has something to do with snoozing reminders on the pda and the pc and them getting out of sync...

Solved... no
I red that if you dont sync email it will work - i tried:
While geting errormessage i vent to activ sync and disabled syncing of mail. After that i start synking. This sync ended up doing a resync, wich means tatt all voice commands and keyboard shortcuts went directly in toilet.
I will keep this setting for a while and se of error comes back.
Please keep positing possible solutions, this sync error is SO frustrating

its the same with me here...
it does anoy me so bloody much...
i will deselect email as well. lets see
resync everything again, cvause something on the server has changed... thats always the message...
it sux!!!!
i am using
win2k
officexp
htc touch diamond2

No appointments in HTC Calendar

All of a sudden none of my appointments appear in the HTC Calendar (inc. the Home page).
If I choose a day in the Calendar app I see one of them for a fraction of a second, then it disappears.
I see them all in the WM Calendar app and even on the S2U2 screen, but not via the HTC TouchFLo apps.
Running WM 6.2 Sense 2.1 on TD2.
Any ideas ??????

Issue resolved - related to problems with language support.

Can you help me, I have the same problem on a Rhodium.

His issue was with language support, since you're in DC I suspect your issue is different.
You can sync calendars with MS My Phone, Google Exchange Server, or MS Exchange Server

I gave up since this thread was the only place I read the same exact problem. I decided to just use the ms calendar instead of htc calendar since it was not a sync issue. If htc updates the calendar app I will try it then maybe it will fix it for me. the sleek look of htc calendar is the only thing better anyway.

Have you tried to sync using Google as an exchange server? Its working for me.

that is what im doing. the sync is not the problem as they appear for a second, they just visually disappear in htc calendar a second or less later. but the events are still in google on pc and if i open builtin calendar on tilt 2 then the events are still there as well. so i am sure it is not an ms exchange or activesync issue

I assume you've tweaked the "keep item on device" setting.
I would delete and reestablish your server. I have seen contact photos be slow to load or disappear but never any issues with calendars.
It could be an issue with your ROM retaining data and you may have to hard reset.

Just tried "keep item on device" setting, and same as before.
I don't think the ROM problem not retain the data since if I use standard ms calendar feature the events are still there. The ROM is getting the data from ms exchange and keeping the data but not viewable more than split second in HTC Calendar.
I just deleted the activsync server and re-setup but still same.

Resolution
I was getting the same results - OK in regular calendar app but only very briefly, if at all, on theTouchFlo screen.
As I wrote above that the problem was due to language issues.
I assume that what was happening was that there were some characters or content which was problematic and causing problems in some cases (TochFlo display). I have the feeling that even one problematic entry caused the others not to be displayed.
If you are experiencing the problem I would look at the content of the entries (or selectively delete them etc). to find out what is happening.

I found the problem but no solution to get what i want
i have the taskbar to show date and time so I change some reg entries one which tell the taskbar to show MMM dd screws up HTC Calendar. i assume HTC Calendar pulls the date info from the same place as the taskbar so it gets confused. So I can pick date and time in taskbar or HTC Calendar. I want date and time in taskbar mm/dd/yyyy then it works since that is the default but the year doesn't really fit even with extra spaces so I guess I'll have to choose one.
Problem Key:
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\nls\overrides]
"SSDte"="dd MMM "

What happens if you change the date format in your regional settings?
Does it change both WM and TF3D to match?
Strange! Glad you found the culprit.

yes iv been playing with this. The best solution so far is to use "dd MMM yy" in the taskbar. Then select this in the regional settings. Now HTC Calendar works...but this is only 99% success for me since I didnt want to wast 3 character spots in the taskbar for the _yy
I always know the year so it is waster space but I think I will have to live with that.

[Feb 2011] [Q] Recurring Dates in Calendar

I've set recurring calendar entries (Birthdays, etc) in my Calendar. Now with the new year, they are not showing up in this years calendar.... but if I go back to the original date and edit the entry, it definitely shows as a recurring event.
Consequently, I'm missing out on notifications of upcoming events, as they have not recurred over to the new year correctly.
How can I force the calendar entries to re-appear correctly, without having to manually re-enter all the entries again (which defeats the purpose of having a "recurring" setting)
I'm using the Stock 1.44 WWE ROM with Cookies v1 Home Tab to show multiple calendar entries on the homescreen. No other tweaks or registry changes have been made.

Just for future reference, You have no need to tag your topics with date/year, That is for posting ROM/Build releases not general questions/discussion.
Do you get same issue on different roms or just this one?

Thanx Atheist.... I thought was doing the right thing after reading the "Mandatory" thread !!!
Only ever used the official Roms so far... not sure I'm ready to take the step into cooked Roms, until at least the original 12mth warranty is up.
I've found the thread here regarding setting up Google synch, which i've just done. Seems to have solved all the issues I was having
Would be cool though, if you could multi-select appointments (like birthdays, for example) and change settings on them as a global thing (eg, if I want to set up a generic SMS reminder 1 Day and 1 Week prior to the event... it's TEDIOUS to open up every birthday entry to set them)

Ahh yes you are correct, my bad. tbh its a silly thing to ask espesially since newbies/n00bs have trouble posting in correct section or reading stickies etc. (btw, not calling you a n00b, just speaking in general).

Installing cooked roms (espesially wm) is very easy and you can also revert back to stock rom/spl etc and your warrenty is intact.
Only thing you need to worry about is flashing incorrect radio as that can brick your device, plenty of info and guides to read though, you should definatley have a good read, you can really bring your phone to life with cooked roms.

Well I havent used WM6.5 regulary for nearly a year now so cant really help on this.
Have a really good read though and try some roms, its really easy.
And once you are confident you should 100% get Android on there

Cheers Mate,
Took the plunge last nite and installed my first cooked Rom... Energy/NRG. F**k me it's pretty !!!!!
Still going thru learning how it all works and setting it all up to my specs. Having a few little issues with Active Synch for the calendar with the google/Gmail calendar I set up yesterday.
As described above, I managed to get the calendar synched up yesterday, with the stock Rom... but I am getting an "Invalid Security Certificate on Server" error on the NRG Rom, after following the same process of setting up the synch to google/gmail.
I know this isn't the right place probably to ask for help on THAT particular issue... but since it relates to my original question here, can anyone help on this please?
Error code is 0x80072F06
I've (FINALLY - TOOK FOREVER) managed to synch everything else with MS MyPhone... just need to synch the calendar with my google/gmail calendar.... but Active Synch (when phone is NOT connected physically by USB)... I can press the "Synch" button and A/S attempts to synch, then returns the above error.
If the phone is docked by USB and I attempt to synch, A/S just sits there and does nothing.
Pressing the "Menu" button reveals ONLY the "Status" option available to select.... all of the other options are greyed out and un-selectable.

I've just worked out what I did wrong..... instead of putting the Server as m.google.com, i accidentally put it as m.gmail.com ....... resulting in the certificate error message
OOPS !!!

Recurring Dates
Check HTC Support Downloads, you will see an update that fixes this very issue.
You will also see a 3.14 ROM, Oct2010 I think, that includes the update and some others in it.
