HTC Wizard soft resets on it's own... any guesses why??? - 8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General

I have an HTC wizard which seems to reboot (soft reset) itself randomly once per day.
OS is K-JAM_WWE_216901_2169101_020710_ship
Installed programs:
* SPB Pocket Plus 3.1
* SPB weather 1.5
* Resco file explorer 2005 5.35
* Resco Photo Viewer 5.32
* Route 66 Navigate 2004
* Codewallet Pro 5.21
* Phatpad 3.0
* Opera 8.5 Beta 2
* pTravelAlarm 2.05.05
I removed SKYPE and the Anti Virus from the ROM.
The reboots also happened with the QTEK ROM before this one.
Any ideas???

It seems like a common problem to many people - does anybody have a clue? why?

I have recently upgraded to 1.6.7.1 and have used it during several days almost without applications. It was flawlessly.
Recently I started to load the beast with several programs, mostly from spb software, opera, etc. and now I suffer from constantly and random resets....
Is there some Dr Watson tool that monitors the system in order to discover what's going on before the reboot?

I also used to suffer from these resets.
After upgrading my ROM I have now installed as many of my applications as I can INTERNALLY and in a week I cannto recall a single soft reset.
Prior to this with old roms and most of teh apps installed on SD card I was getting 4-8 resets PER DAY!!!!!!!!!
Go figure.

How old is your battery...
I have a similar problem with a Blue Angle. I have had the unit swapped out, lived with only the software installed automaticly following a hard reset, and still experienced the reboots with at least two of my batteries.
All three batteries are now around a year old. I am considering trying a new battery since there are no other variables left other than provider account issues.
Which is why I am asking how old is your battery?
Thanks

Hi,
Here is the link for working programs in WM5. http://forum.xda-developers.com/viewtopic.php?t=20727&postdays=0&postorder=asc&start=0
By the way, Anyone ever successfully installed Money 2005 for PPC?
I tried to install it. It installed successfully, but when ActiveSync 4 sync the money database, a box just came out saying "Reading device databases" and stays there forever. No sincronization at all...
Best Regards,
You may already know, but MS has released Money2006 for PPC.
http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/...65-42f5-4dca-b301-9f05a8583692&DisplayLang=en
I haven't tried it, but maybe it will solve your sync issues? If not, then we ought to slap MS for not even preparing their own software for AS4 and WM5.
WM2005 and software working (not??)
In relation to these:
SPB PocketPlus 3
Resco File Explorer
Microsoft Voice Command 1.5
I couldnt get them to work. SPB works for "quicklaunch" on the today screen, but no forced "close", no battery indicator, no PIE tweaks etc.
Resco couldnt even see the windows directory, and all Icons were not displaying correctly, and MSVC installed but doesnt work properly, and now wont install as I cant even get the icon out of settings.
If somebody can help me to get these to work, wonderful, maybe I have old versions? I love these 3 products and would be grateful to anybody who can help get them to work.
use the latest versions of resco exolorer and spb produts(plus,weather,gprs). they works
SW use in Jasjar(tested all working)

Working perfectly:
SPB Pocket Plus 3.1
Pocket Weather
Resco Explorer
Resco Radio
Leonard Maltin's Movie Guide
Tweaks 2K2
SK Tools
One For All Solitaires
Worms World Party
Working and Usable:
Pocket Breeze (Some settings screens don't display perfectly, but it doesn't affect usability)
Pocket Music Bundle (Folder selection screens have some corruption, but after setting it up to load my entire music folder into the playlist at startup, everything appears in my playlist without any problems)
Morphgear (You need to fiddle about with the 'Orientation' and button mapping settings to get the up, down left and right buttons to actually 'do' up, down left and right, as Morphgear refuses to run properly in landscape mode)
Not working:
Contact Breeze
I've also tried out the SPB Weather & Diary which work perfectly, but I'm happier with Pocket and Contact Breeze (when it's updated) and Pocket Weather, so I've ditched most of my SPB stuff.
So far:
Pocket Plus 3.01
Planmaker - but beware you have to install in portrait mode
Textmaker - " " " " " " "
Calendar Plus from MohairSofa - a little dodgy doesn't quite line up the list right.
OK, I'll add my successes and failures:

@Kevinnugent
In case of Planmaker have you noticed that once the available ram drops to around 15MB it stops working. The colourful circle spins for a short duration and then nothing happens. I do a soft reset which restores the available RAM to around 27MB and then planmaker starts working again till the available RAM again drops to 15MB or so.
I am using it on a JJ and this is a problem for me. For you and others I don't really know but would be obliged if you can test for me the operation of Planmaker at reduced memory conditions. Love to hear your comments.
Regards

This has been identified as an issue cause by PocketPlus, you should see whether you run the latest version 3.01 build 4036 or later.
An updated version of Planmaker is in the works though.

Periodically reset

Hi All,
My MDA Vario is resetting periodically when not in use.
Some times every 15 min some days once a day.
Hard rest did not solve the problem.
I think one of the application is the problem.

have seen that problem caused by skype
but nothing else that i know of.
I don’t have skype installed.
But I think you are right it has to do with GPRS/Network connection
Same for me - it happens frequently, it happened overnight twice last night for no obvious reason.
I don't have any of your softwares. i think it has to do with Win mobile 5 rather than with any of the additional softs that one might install. I don't have Skype either.
It has JUST started happening to me and this only since I installed a new Intellisync push email service.
Before this it had never reset.

Hard Reset, format and reinstall did not help..
it never happened while connected to the pc on active sync though... ONLY when disconnected from the pc while on an "on" or "off" position.
Has anybody got a clue?

same thing with my i-mate k-jam. however, when i had original i-mate ROM (1.1.9.3) it never happened. after about 2 weeks i did ROM update, but only OS ROM (qtek 1.6.7.1) and Radio ROM (1.12.10). from this point, my device used to reset itself once a day without any obvious reason. on last saturday i did update again, but this time using 'full' RUU from qtek with OS 1.6.7.1 and Radio 1.13.10. after that update (a week) self-reset happened only once.
after each update and hard-reset i install the same set of applications so i'm not sure if one of them is reason, but it may be...

This is a problem with the latest ROM notably 1.67.
I have 1.3.7 and happens sometimes.
I think it's something about the MiniSD.
Tried to pull out the SD and PDA doesn't reset.

So I think must be one!
We have only 3 options now!
I have to reset mine, sometimes once a day, sometimes more often.
It's usually caused by me trying to use it while it's connected to my PC. It just hangs

Log resets?
Anyone got an application that can log uptime/resets?
I'd like to throw it on mine and not lose hours of my day watching for
something that shouldn't happen
My i-mate reset 2-3 times an hour

x Removing the mini-SD RAM card I have
x Removing Skype
Adam
Its not Skype.
That was the first thing I removed.
Robin
I removed Skype and reinstalled the new low-CPU version and it seems to have helped _however_ there is a catch. I was beginning to receive notifications that related to WM5 not being able to launch Skype (periodically?) and since removing/reinstalling I've yet to receive such a message.
I think I remember reading somewhere about WM5 creating hundreds of spurious notification events (clearly a bug) - though I'm not sure if I suffer from this - must hunt this down!
Adam
I was having exactly the same problem, furthermore the device was growing slow ... I tried to install 'check notification' program (found it somewhere here) I then stated many duplicate events of sddaemon.exe (hundreds!). I Removed all those duplicates, and it speeded up everything and now I do not have that reboot problem anymore. Nevertheless, from time to time I clean the duplicated events which are still appearing... it's not that annoying but the problem is still here. Anyways, for me, I can affirm the reboot problem came form the miniSD for sure !
Hope it helps,
Cheers,

Pocket Breeze freezes MDA

Hi everyone!
I've got a strange prob on my Universal. It is a german MDA Pro flashed with the german Qtek ROM 1.30 and Radio 1.09. I've installed Pocket Breeze 5 withe some Plugins as Contact Breeze and iLaucher and Pocket Weather. My PIM is Pocket Informant.
All these are installed on SD.
Whenever I activate Breeze it works absolutely perfect. Then I switch the Pro off and switch it on again after a while. It comes to life and before it actually shows the today-screen it freezes and I have to reset
iLaucher, Pocket Weather etc. are deactivated when using PB of course. On the other hand these work as normal Today-plugins .... Installing PB to the internal flash didn't change anything.
Deactivating Breeze as today-plugin immediately solves the freeing problem ... !!!! ?
I didn't notice this behaviour with the T-Online ROM Version 1.20 / radio 1.06.
Another strange thing I found is that the Universal seems to automatically end some programs when going to 'sleep'. This concerns Pocket Informant and Flexmail 2006 and Dinarsoft Handymenu. Several other progs are not affected.
This is really weird and I'd love to have PB back to life sinece it ideally does what I need. I wouldn't like to change back to the 'old' T-Mobile ROMs.
Any idea is very much appeciated!
Thanks for your help

Hi Pernod99!
Thanks for the info! So I'll play with different install-targets.
I'll keep you posted with the things I'll (possibly) find out
Thanks again!
mikrolinux
Damn you got me excited, i thought macromedia release a pocket pc version of their Breeze software, now that would be good.
Hi Ahrjay!
I suppose we're talking about different 'Breezes' ;-)
The Pocket Breeze here is Pocket Breeze from www.sbsh.net It's an Today Plugin integrating PIMs, Mailers, Meters and stuff.
Sorry for the false alarm
cheers
mikrolinux
Hi Pernod99!
Well this seems to be the solution. I've reinstalled PocketBreeze, Contact Breeze and iLauncher to the devices flash
and soft-reset the MDA. Since then it seems to run as desired - fast and stable so far.
It seems PB doesn't like to be installed on SD, this concerns it's plugins as well. It urged me to reset the device frequently
until even the last PB-plugin had been removed from SD and shifted to the systems flash-mem.
There is an option inside PB that determines how Plugins are called. This usually is set to dynamic which means that the
plugin is initiated on first use after a reset. So everything runs pretty smooth until you call an application PB has to init from SD
-> crash after wakeup.
Setting the above option other values such as static doesn't alter anything since PB always has to init theSD and often crashes,
presumably due to timeouts. So PB and everything it has to init have to be installed to the devices flash for proper operation.
Thanks again for your help!
Have fun!

Problems with newer rom or SPB Pocket Plus?

Hi,
Since installing the newest O2 Rom three days ago, I've had on several occasions that Windows Mobile got so incredibly slow, that each tile in Minesweeper took nearly a second to draw.
I first thought it was my email being retrieved from the background, but even after turning that off it kept on happening every now and then, and the only thing that'd solve it was a reset.
I talked to a friend about it, and he seemed to have the same problem on his HTC Wizard since instaling his newest ROM (~2 weeks ago)
He had experimented a little more, and found out that it only happened with software installed, and the only software we have in common is SPB Pocket Plus (of which we both downloaded the newest version after the rom-update).
My current config is:
Radio: 1.11.00
OS: 1.30.107 WWE (O2)
ExtROM: 1.30.162 WWE (O2)
Software installed:
- Microsoft Games, Entertainment, and Arcade packs
- SPB PocketPlus
- SPB Backup
- Sean O'Connor's Pocket Games
- ScaryBear Software Check Notifications
- WM5Storage
- Hexacto Lemonade
- Tascalsoft TRE
- Kasuei Hitchiker
- TCPMP The Core Pocket Media Player
- C. Ghisler & Co. Total commander
I'm hoping I'm not the only one with these problems. If you are experiencing the same issues, please post here clearly stating what ROM and Software you have installed. That way maybe there's a way to pinpoint what's causing this
Spb Pocket Plus used to run smoothly when I had an older ROM (forgot which one, though); it seems to be less stable when installed on newer versions, so I just gave up.
May I recommend "Magic Button" as a substitue for the Close button feature in Pocket Plus? It takes up less system resource, and it's free!

Are you absolutely sure this is caused by Spb PocketPlus ?
Well, the Universal definitely runs faster without Pocket Plus installed.

de-install spb and find another tool to do the functions you need.
had the same thing in several program-combi's and install-order
that bad huh.. i looked around and found Spb connected issues..
thanks
I use all pda soft by spb, I find it great. the problem you mentioned used to afflict also my 9000, but it has been 99% solved after installing the last pocketplus version (should be 3.1.2) which fixes the memory leak and looks like its a lot faster than the others. on the other hand, it is slow while loading the today plugin only after a soft reset or when you modify it, since it has to cache again all the icons,tabs and so on. apart from those events in my 9000 its rare delays are fairly acceptable if compared to an absolutely stable software, which is perfect in my opinion!
My MDA pro was very slow when I had the battery indicator used on my today screen. Removing it solved my problem. Maybe yours too...???
I also use the latest versions of SPB and of course the speed of your Universal will be slightly reduced. You are running some extra programs, but I find it working relativly quick. I still have 22mb of working memory left after a soft reset with all the SPB apps opened. Only SPB diary can take some seconds to load when you haven't used it for a while.
