When i press the call button nothing happens, it doesn't go to my call log. Even when i click start, phone nothing happens. Contacts won't even open up. it started yesterday when i recieved text messages from people in my contat list but their names wouldn't show up, just their numbers. Also when my call log did work, i would scroll to a number and press call several times nothing would happen, even when i click and hold And scroll to call.
So whats the solution? Hard-reset?
oh ya, i'm on the latest imate rom and radio
Did you install Resco Keyboard by any chance? Same happened to me when I installed that...
You did not say if you recently installed any new programs etc.. that might of caused it. Probably yes you will need to do a hard reset. Remember to backup favorites & start menu /windows (this will save you doing most reinstalls of programs on your storage card) and pim.vol (contacts/appts) in the root directory if you don't have them on your pc.
I can reset device this way in 30 mins or so
well, in the past 3 days i installed 6 or more apps, pocket streets, world mate, pocket sudoku, warfare inc, spacetime 2, wm torrent, and more. I wasn't gonna sit there and go through each app to figure out the culprit, so i just hard reset. but befoer the hard reset i did a restore from a spb backup i did earlier and it was acting all funny after the restore, every 30 secs or so it would make that sound when you first turn your device on, or right after you hard reset where it says "welcome to windows, tap screen to begin" or whatever.
Anyways, just hard reset and everythings good now..thanks for the help those who comented.

Help!
I'm new to the PPC world with the 6800. I tried downloading Ultimate Bet poker to it about 3 weeks ago and realized that it didn't work and tried deleting it. I deleted it using Active Sync remove programs, then deleted some more files that were still on the actual phone to get it off the Today screen. Last night I used PHM to delete some more files of it that were in the registry.
Every time I press the button to wake the phone up from sleep, I have a Notification Error that pops up and says "Cannot execute \Program Files\Phantom Fiber Inc.\Framework v2.1\PFEventNotifierV21.exe"
It's been doing this ever since I deleted the Ultimate Bet program, and I really don't feel like doing a hard reset. Any suggestions?

run sk tools or memmaid and delete it from the notification queue.
hello guys,
i've got a little problem, a while ago my device started to "hang" on the startup, when soft reset my device it boots, but then, when the backlight fades away, and i wait a while my device is stuck on the "Windows Mobile" screen.
this doesn't happen when i keep pressing my touchscreen when the backlight fades away, but i find it quite annoying.
so i was wondering, has anyone got a solution for this annoying problem?
Thanks in advance
Greetings Richard

already did that and restored using a backup but it didn't solve anything
are you saying i should reinstall everything? :O would be quite ****edup
yep something in the backup you made is screwed, probably a startup program.
if you are able to get fileexlorer up before you soft reset after the restore you might be able to move all the shortcuts out of the startup folder to somewhere else then try putting one back each time until you find whats crashing it.
allthough a full reinstall of everything would be quicker and less work

thanks, mayb a noob question, but where can i find this startup map?
full reinstall would be more work i think, because i have alot of software on the device, so also alot of settings etc., so i think i'll go for option 1
Mostly they are in \Windows\Startup, and some may create system services which you can view (and disable) using TaskMgr (a freeware)
Hi, All
Had my touch about 3 weeks, everything has been great till now. Messaging (Email) suddenly stopped working, I can't open my email program, or text. It's just vanished. Any ideas? Tried reboot, (removed battery), even tried to restore with SPB which I installed yesterday and backed up. I'm new to this forum, but I know this is the best around for technical info. Thanks for any help.
Gary
Well, I can't imagine what caused it, but it sounds like you need to do a hard reset. That will get the device back to factory settings. You'll have to reload all of your stuff, first, and you'll want to backup your contacts.
When you're ready, while holding down the green and red buttons (Call and End), push the reset button with your stylus (it takes a bit of dexterity). You should be prompted to do a hard reset, and that should take care of the problem.
As for what caused it, i have no idea. Even if you could fix it somehow, you're still probably better off just reseting everything.
Thanks, Dave,
I guess I figured I would have to do that, but hoped I wouldn't. Between the SPB backup on my data card, and the customizations saved on my PC, I can get it back to where it was. I've spent hours and hours getting this thing exactly the way I wanted it, but that's life....
Gary
Sorry I missed this... may have been able to save you from hard reset. This happened to me once and if I reacall correctly it was an SD card issue. The cause... I had attachments going to the SD and the folder for the inbox disapeared. Why? No clue. Once I copied it back (from a backup) messaging started to work again.
There is another issue where the SD looks like it has been corrupted. All of the folder name look wacky and some are missing. I cant remember the exact sequence of events in my case but since deselecting "When available, use this storage card to store attachments" I have not had seen either problem.
fyi for the future.
Thanks for the info, SHWA311. I will check out that card issue. I did the hard reset, luckily had all my hacks and downloads saved, just took me a couple of hours to re-input my contacts. I tried everything to save them, but my only SPB backup was made after the problem, only didn't realize it.

you didn't have to hard reset... could have just deleted inbox folder on your sd card and mail/text program would start working again. i had the same issue before (as have many others).
Thanks varunb007,
I will file that under my "relax and wait for some more responses" memory bank!~

I have the htc touch by verizon, and all of the sudden my messaging quit working. when I go to email or text it does nothing, won't open when I run the .exe in total commander, no other processes are running, no mods done. this is the second time this has happened and its getting annoying, any help would be awesome
soft-reset? how did u get it to work the first time?
the way I got it working the first time was, I did a hard hard reset, meaning I had to call verizon n get a 26 digit number for the phone to be authorised. I've done soft reset, and pulled the battey out, uninstalled every program, still to no avail

I had the same problem a couple of weeks before. I did everything: restore previous setting from SKTools, soft reset, ... Eventually I had to do a hard reset and reinstall everything. I don't know why it quit working like that.
Go into your storage card.
Delete the folder "inboxxxxxxxx." The xxxxx are a bunch of letters and numbers.
You should be good after that.
fixed
wombat, that is the correct fix, i found it a few days ago, just havent had time to post it, you delete the inboxxxxxxxx folder, mine is on my storage card, and then it will work fine...thanks for all your help guys!
You guys are genious. I need serious help. First I have a services.exe error everytime I shut off or soft reset. Any one know what to do or if it even matters.
Second all this talk about running things and saving space. I need more memory saving. I don't have a clue what I really need and what I can get rid off to save oh ram. or hard drive memory too. Please tell me exactly what to do.
NExt on my HTC Imagio I want to run SBP mobile shell but I want to run TF3 too because I like the weather start up on it and I can't get to it with spb shell running someone talked about it but I can't figure out what to do based on what I read, I want to start up TF3 and then hit a button to go to shell. ANy one know how to do itl Also I have Pocket Mechanic and all kinds of tools but not SK Tools. I have Vitual Espolorer cuz I thought that would help me ID files but now that I can ID them I doh't know what I need and what I don;t. If I get SK Tools will it help me know what to do. Nothing comes with a manual anynmore. I need a detailed manual for the phone and how it works not what it does. Can anyone answer these with esplicit directions cuz I don;t know a .dll from anything else. I only know that an exe runs something, So Im really dumb about all this. ANyone know how to help. It 2:30 AM and I;ve been up all night for a week trying to figure out things on this phone. So far I like it a lot but the more I add the slower I get and I might want to add more. HELP!!!!!! Going crazy.....
OK, that's a whole lot for anyone to try to process. First things first, what's your biggest problem? The best way to get help is to knock down the issues one at a time.
The first problem is I have a services.exe error every time I turn the phone on after it's been off or any time I reset it. That's first
Based on a little Googling, it looks like the only fix for a services.exe error is a hard reset. I pasted the info on a hard reset below for you:
This will wipe all data off the phone and restore factory default settings.
1. While the phone is off, press and hold Volume Down + Talk/Send + End/Power.
2. When the device displays a message about wiping the data, release all 3 buttons.
3. Press Volume Up to complete the hard reset.

I don't know what programs you are trying to move, listen, just forget moving programs, back up or your files via myphone or use activesync to store everything you want on your computer. When you perform a hard reset either by the method listed or by going to Start->settings->all settings->system->memory then selecting clear storage tab, letting win mo come back up and customize then before you do anything when it restarts, hard reset again, for some reason this helps the functionality of native software. Then immediately take care of the tv icon, proxy mem. tweak, and nopifix. Then what ever you need to install try to install to your sd card via downloading from this xda site for cab files or doing a little google searching rather than installing directly from market place. EXCEPTION: DO NOT INSTALL TWEAKS TO SD CARD OR ITEMS THAT ROTATE THE SCREEN. Keep all the cab files on your pc or on your storage card so that you have them whenever you decide to hard reset or flash your device. Enjoy your imagio thing only become easier the more you use and play.
I must not have my activcesnyc set up right because the only thing it backsup is my contacts, email, journal and a file folder full of what ever I want to but in that folder but thats snyc with my docs on my devic and I don't want to over load it. When I had a palm it used to back everythng up to a file on my computr and I could just reinstall but this windows stuff doesn't seem to do it. How do I set up active sync to sync everythi ng on my devide and card to back up to my computer.? Ans I don't have a clue what you were talking aabout when you said take care of your tv and those other files, not a clue. I have mobil shell on my phone is that what your taling about not having on the phoen. You need to talk like your talking to a 12 year old when your explaining this stuff to me. Thanks. L

Hey you said something about getting rid of the tv icon and other stuff after a hard reset, but never explained in detail. plz help, thx
After weeks of zero issues (aside from memory leak), I just got a barrage of services.exe errors this morning. Phone was throwing error after error even after a soft reset. After three soft resets it's finally working now (after another services.exe error). I didn't make a single change to my configuration though so I'm a big perplexed as to why these just started showing up now. I was really starting to get content with my Imagio too...sigh.
