Can anyone else confirm if you have similar problem? After the upgrade, everytime the phone rings, I can't answer the call right away, there's a 5-6 secs pause between when the phone first ring till I can accept the call, during the pause, the screen is hanged like it's trying to wake up from standby... The phone would keep ringing and it's very annoying to just staring at the phone with people watching.. I'm not sure if this is a software conflict but I tried to disable all the softwares but still the same.
And then the battery seems to drain MUCH faster, it drops 30% already in just 6 hours!!! Only had like 10 or so short phone calls, checked email once!!
Last thing is, anyone able to get Journal Bar 4.3.4 running? It went fine before the ROM upgrade, but now it hangs the machine when I sync it with my PC and can't even bring it back with softreset... I had to hardreset 3 times already before of Journal Bar
Am I the only one having these problems????
I too just upgrade but am not facing any of the problems u mentioned. Everything appears to be smooth and much better than the DOPOD ROM
Just running the upgrade now. I'll let you know how I get on with JB.
Edit: Have run the upgrade now an installed JB and all nice and smooth. No problems. Weather is fine, newsfeeds are working, auto scroll is working, expansion pack is detected.... but once it connects and tries to update....the whole things freezes - locks up solid. And a hard reset is the only way of stopping.
Same here, I have not encountered the said problem. As a matter of fact, I don't see any difference either in speed nor performance in corporate mode. Yes, less stuff to go into and change, but come on... all we have to do is turn off the error reporting and beam function. But I do admit, the basic mode deffinitely is faster than the old ROM version. This is my personal experience.
Hmm... looks like only some have and some don't have this problems.. Darkblak, what version JB are you running? And man.. the pause from waking up is driving me crazy
My o2 Exec had been switched off for three hours, but screen open, and I got sombody to call from my landline. Upon the first ring in the calling (landline) handset's earpiece, the Exec screen illuminated and my ring-tone began playing. Clicked the on-screen Answer soft-key immediately (within first three notes of the tune) and the call was connected.
Tried again to check. Same result, connect during first ring.
However, I'm also concerned at the "apparently" faster battery drain. Currently running the battery down to check if the problem is still there after a full discharge/recharge cycle. The only difference in applications that I have installed now, compared with a few weeks ago, is the spb GPRS Monitor v.2.41 (this is *not* the o2 supplied version).

It's a coincidence with your ROM upgrade -- I've been using my Qtek9000's factory ROM for a few months, and yesterday (Dec 22) Journal Bar started acting up. :evil:
I wonder what they're sending through that Journal Bar feed that can freeze a device like that! Very Evil!!

If this is date related - how can you turn the update off. My JB freezes the whole phone as soon as it loads and a soft reset just repeats the process on me. I've hard reset and re-installed 3 times today with no luck.
For now I've hard reset and left JB until a solution can be found.

What I did was I soft-reset, and then before my wifi started up, I would race to disable wifi, or click on one of the buttons (they're in a group of 4) that prevents JB from updating from Wifi/GPRS. Solves the problem for now.
Hmm.. So I guess I should avoid JB for now.. And found out my pausing problem is actually from Worldmate 2006! Remove the today plugin and problem solved. No I have NO weather info at all...

O2 Exec Upgrade Problem
I have today updated my o2 Exec with the new ROM upgrade, all seemed ok until I carried out a soft reset - all my email accounts were lost!!
Tried hard reset, etc - still happening when I soft reset??
Any one have any ideas how I can resolve this problem?
What I find odd is that after the upgrade my handset works perfectly. It is a lot faster than previous, the battery doesn't drain any faster, my email accounts are intact after re-creating them after the ROM Flash.
Is my handset an anomaly ?
Read somewhere here that you should clear out the ROM (Clear Memory app) before you try a ROM upgrade. Also try Corp mode if you haven't yet.

ironically, i think it is battery.nfo which is causing the drain!
i've switched back to the SPB pocket plus battery indicator & my xda exec *appears* to be draining 'normally'.
can anyone confirm?

I don't know what software you're running but if I setup a storage card indicator in SPB Plus I get a long (5-6 seconds) delay before I can do anything after switching on. This is even with the storage card indicator not on the visible tab - it must be gathering information. As soon as I remove that indicator then the machine responds as soon as I switch on.
Jon.
YAY! Thanks been trying to figure out what it was in Pocket+ that was causing that.
Taken the storage card details off and all is good!
Now if only they can sort out the 'stuttering' ringtone!
hm.. i had that problem too..
i think i should try to uninstall pocket + n see how it works...
thanks ape..
I had my Exec repaired and had the latest ROM installed (dated 30 Nov 05). I have not installed any third-party apps at all. Will monitor its behaviour over the next few days. So far, it has been stable and I am alerted to all calls even when using the PowerSave option. Speed a little slower now that I am not using GSPMagic+
When I apply a soft reset to my wizard, (T-Mobile 2.24 Beta ROM found here on the the site), the backlight settings, (battery power), reverts to turning off the backlight at 10 seconds. I can change the settings and they stick until the next soft reset. Any thoughts/hacks/fixes?
(I searched the forums and did not find this solution, so please be gentle if I am asking something I should have found...I try to read as much as possible on this wonderful site. Made a lot of improvements to my MDA through reading and learning but I could not find this one).
I have the exaxt same problem ever since I installed SPB Gprs Monitor. Any chance you also have it?
Nope, so we both have a common culprit. Either the ROM or our apps...
I have:
Registry Wizard, 1.0U
Space Reclaimer
PHM Tray
Smartskey
OmapClock
Eten Dialer
TCPMP
eReader
Sompy Weather
Magic Button
Vade Mecum
Quickreset
Anything in common? Or does anyone else know what causes this bug?
Actually, I misread your post! I don't have this problem. My settings remain after a soft reset. In my case the screen goes blank (or should I say black!) after a soft reset (backlight slider all the way to the left).
We have TCMP and omapclock in common, so I guess you can eliminate those two from your list of potential culprits to your problem
Anyone else with a comment? It's been happening to a colleague of mine as well, again, after we installed the TMobile 2.24 Beta ROM.
We've had this problem with 15 devices we purchased earlier this year - all but 2 are running the TMO USA stock ROM, the others are running the 2.21 custom ROM... but ALL of them will reset the backlight timer to 10 seconds on a soft reset.
Very, very annoying...
Have you checked the content of your \windows\startup folder? You may have some program there that does it. I had another problem with my custom today background picture disappearing afeter each reset and I found out that it was a startup ptogram (custtdstk) that did the trick
I am getting a new one soon...so we will see if that fixes things, (although my colleague will not be getting one). Did anything fix the 15 devices?
Hi , I'm having the same problem as pat12 after sleep or timeout the backlight slider is all the way to the left, has anyone found a fix for this ?
thx paparoach
UPDATE: not sure if this is the fix for everyone but I upgraded to Mr. Clean's 224a rom and now it works, I'm now reloading my apps.
I've tried wiping everything out of the startup folder, doesn't seem to help at all.
Hoping TMO fixes this with their AKU2 ROM for the MDA.
Is anyone here NOT using SPB backup and still getting the problem?
Are you sure none of you are using Goodlink? It has had a known bug that everytime the unit was reset, and the Goodlink launcher was run, it would reset the backlight to 10 seconds. It was finally fixed with client version 4.9.

I'm definately not using goodlink
That was my issue, Goodlink. I had orphaned this post but now that you mention it, since the upgrade, the issue has stopped. Thanks for the confirmation.
Same thing here - as soon as we upgraded to the 4.9 client, the backlight timeout would no longer reset.
GldRush98 has supplied the fix for this and so I've posted it here on his behalf as he replied on a seperate thread which was running for the same problem.
"The device lock feature causes this bug.
If you don't want it to do that any more you have to do 2 things.
1) Turn off device lock
2) Change the registry key:
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\ControlPanel\Backlight\Locklevel\
Change the "LockLevel" value to "0".
Then your phone will remember your backlight settings again."
Once again many thanks to GldRush98
Oh wow, so in order to get rid of this bug, we have to switch off the single most important feature on the device?
There's got to be a better way...
No, instead of coming up with a sarcastic comment try it..it works! and no features are switched off :roll:
Sorry
But you do mean the Settings--Personal--Lock don't you? The one that you set a password for? If you have to disable this, first of all I won;t get any email from my Exch box any more, and 2nd someone's bound to nick it and see all the dirty txts I've got on it... deffo a case for Max Clifford!

I have had this happen twice now.
My tytn (v0628) has locked up. I took it out of my case and pressed the power button and got nothing. The lights are blinking as usual (bluetooth and phone). I tried to call it and it did not wake or ring, but on the phone I was calling on it was ringing, and I got that speaker interference so I know the call was reaching my TYTN, but it didn't wake up. So I had to soft reset it. The first time this happened it was on the charger (wall) and not in its case, it happened overnight. Woke up to it not turning on.
Anyone else having this issue?
Later; Lew
Yup ... I've seen it perhaps 6 or 7 times in the month I've had it.
The actual stability issues I had were resolved - i.e. hanging soft resets etc - by rebuilding. In the main it is very stable.
You also get irritating hangs when the device is left to rung and hang up.
Paul.
Yep. Same issue here. The phone is working normally; you just couldn't get it out of powersave mode by pressing the on/off button. I sent mine back for replacement due to two bad keys and an inoperative flash, but I was going to investigate it further. Like:
How about pressing something that would normally wake it up like the camera button perhaps?
... sometimes its rough out here on the (b)leading edge....
This happened twice to me too, both times after being charging for 4-5 hours during the night it doesn't wake up the next morning, it doesn't matter which key I press, only solution was to soft-reset with stylus.

I didn't have it on the wall charger, but using the USB computer cable, so it doesn't seem a problem related to charger.
I had this happen to me a bunch of times too but it turns out that it was spb software that was causing this issue for me. I had SPB pocket plus and Weather installed, and running on my today screen and it happened quite frequently. I decided to do a hard reset and keep the software minimal to what i "needed" so I kept is simple. haven't had this problem since then. I believer it has to do with the today screen which is either a bug in spb software of a bug in the firmware.
Good Luck!

I don't have any 3rd party software from SPB installed, but can be probably some other soft....
It was locking up for me too and I went and removed SBSH PocketWeather to test it out since it was the last thing I installed. I remove it from teh Today screen and have not had a lock up yet. I am also running SPB Diary with no problems. I am thinking it could possibly be due to these programs that have to connect to GPRS/UDMA every so often to update its data like PocketWeather since it happens with different programs. Maybe it locks up while charging and trying to make a connection. Just my thoughts.
AJH..
hmmm... I also had spb pocket plus and spb weather installed. When I get my next TyTN I'll have to remove those if the problem re-occurs. however I also had one instance of POFs charge related issue. Maybe its also spb backup related since I fire one of those off every day at 3AM.
I don't have any SPB software on mine. However I was using magic button with the battery meter on top. I have disabled the battery meter. That was 3 days ago. It has not happened since but that does not mean it was the problem. BTW I decided to allow the device to stay on (screen back light off but awake) while charging to prevent this from happening overnight.
I know SPB has a battery meter and I also know that this device reports the battery level in strange ways. Like it only reports 10% increments. Also when you first wake it up the battery is @ 100% then goes to the proper level.
Try this if you have voice command;
Have your device off the charger with some battery missing, 90% or lower. Wake up your phone and quickly activate voice command and say "what is my battery level" It will report something strange like "the battery level is unavailable" or I got this one "the battery level is critical" but it was @ 50% and when i asked again it reported 50% just fine. So I think this may be related to battery polling programs.
I am guessing at this and I have not had long enough time to test it but I thought I would toss it out there for everyone to try.
Later; Lew
I have the SAME EXACTLY problem with my magician, this is a common fault as I can see :? The fact is, most users says that the PDA wouldn't wake up after a night: then the problem is the low temperature.. test this putting the TyTN in a fridge while it's cold, then try to wake it up the problem is there...
MocciJ
i had the same problem with my trion using imate rom......but it didnt happen after a long charge......i just havent turned it on for about 5-7 hours, and then when i did turn it on it wont respond.....so i had to do a soft reset........from my experience i think it was my wisbar advance so i uninstalled it and went back to using wisbar lite......i never had this problem before when i was running wisbar lite originally....when i installed wisbar advance and had it on my device for a couple of days and thats when the problem started to happen......after uninstalling wisbar advance and putting back the wisbar lite the problem didnt come back.....so i think it has something to do with what is running on our today screen.....maybe programs that takes up a lot of resources etc might be the culprit......
i have same problems with prophet. after every charging a have to soft-reset. no additional software is installed and never been. just clenan WM5. so this is not a problem with 3rd party software.
Has anyone noticed that the magnet in the HTC leather case is too strong for the TyTN?
I think that I FINALLY figured out why I was having so many "strange" things happen (i.e. Pull out the phone from the HTC case and it comes out in landscape mode). To test- Open the case and move the magnetic flap around the phone while it's on (with screen lit up) and see if it causes a problem with the display.
I need to find a durable NON-Magnetic carry case. Any know of one available for the TyTN?

Anyway, I recommend to all who's having this problem to send the TyTN to repairs.. It's an hardware fault :roll:
MocciJ
Well you can send out your TyTN if you want. I can say that since I removed the battery bar feture in magic button I have not had this problem. I also let my device stay on (screen backlight off, but device still on) over night.

Yes. I removed Opera and all went back to normal.
We have many topics on "locking up", freezing, storage card problems, windows media player problem, and so on
Please when you have this kind of problem check if you are using appz writing/reading on the storage card
The worst period in my life with TyTN was when I set IE cache and E-mail cache on storage card... (It is a FAT 16 card...)
http://forum.xda-developers.com/viewtopic.php?t=61879 is about overnight freezing....
Sergiopi,
Can you tell us in simple terms what to check to be sure that our programs are not making use of storage card. For instance, I am using pocketbreeze and sbsh pocketweather and both were installed on storage card. Should I simply remove them from the Today screen? Should I reinstall them on main memory?
Thanks, apap
1) Have you sat up IE or Mail SW to store cache or attachment on storage card?
2) Have appz with auto update or log file installed on storage card?
3) Check active processes and events scheduled
This is a simple check list, you can also leave without storage card your TyTN and check if any error message appear after 2-3 ours
To stop applications use any process explore to recognize and stop the process (safer un-checking from today screen first)
I experienced this problem regularly, especially when left on charger overnight as others have reported . I also chgd my ROM from HTC to IMATE -- experienced lockups in both so it's not the ROM.
Saw a suggested "fix" another thread (referenced above) -- Settings/Connections/PC to USB - uncheck box for Advanced Network Functionality --- that seems to have corrected it! I was experiencing the lockip several times a day, but haven't had a lockup since making this chamge. Amd my software install is very similar to others in this thread - spbpktplus, sbsh pocket weather and pocket breeze, wisbar adv 2.
Not sure how this setting is involved, or even whzt it does, but glad the lockips seem to have endec.
Today, my 8525 keeps freezing again and again. However, it's not 100% dead. The HTC task manager has the little icon on the right top corner, and there is an small arrow indicating "open" or "close". So when my 8525 freezed, that little arrow is fliping all the time. Also, today, when I connect 8525 to PC, using activeSync, it keeps disconnecting me, then the phone freezes. This never happend before. Does any pro have a clue?

Press the reset button.
I reset it many times. But the problem remains.
Are you running an HTC WM5 ROM. Have you checked he notification queue. Known problem. Google something like windows mobile 5 notification queue and you will get answers.
I am running it on wm6
Hm, interesting. I've seen that once on mine, which I just attributed to lag on the device. Pretty annoying to be sure.
Resetting did fix it, if you're still having trouble you may need to hard reset and/or uninstall some things.
Hi guys,
I just got my Xperia a few days ago and I noticed that my time is always delayed!
yesterday, i didn't look at my phone for a few hours and when I did, clock was delayed by an hour! I thought I was still early for an afternoon meeting but it turned out that I was late 30 minutes!
I didn't think anything of it, I just adjusted the time, maybe i had it wrong to begin with since the phone is still new, but this morning it was late again! by 20 minutes.... so I said, there must be something wrong with it?
adjusted the clock again and took a look at it after 2 hours late again by 10minutes!!! aaah!!!
Is there any fix to this?
I did a search and the HTC diamond has the same problem...the fix for the diamond is hotfix...will this work with the Xperia as well?
Any other way to fix this problem?
Help!
Thanks!
got the sameproblem since a few days... dunno what it is.
no one knows what the problem is?
still no one?
there is a a few threads on this topic on the forum, search it
there is no fix other than try the today panel for about 5-10 mins and then go back to whichever panel you were on. not sure why but that sorts it out, until it happens again. for me it happens every 3-4 weeks
the alarm isnt affected by this, also when you click the clock it will show you the latest time, i think its a screen update problem.
let us know if the HTC fix works here.
Thanks...I did try to search but no real solution...maybe I gave the wrong search words.
Most definitive answer I got was yours and the hotfix....maybe someone else can point me to the right direction?
I also noticed this....the panel time was delayed and then the time on the upper right copied the time on the panel?
What I did was I removed the clock on the panel, now my time is only delayed by 5minutes.
I'll try your suggestion.
Thanks!

Time on my Xperia is wrong mostly 7 minutes. When i synchronize it with SynchroTime it is usually 422-423 sec delayed. After synchronization within 5-10 minutes the clock again is back the 7 minutes :-/ Also clock on the panel (any) and the tray bar (upper right corner) often show a bit different time (the tray one is delayed 1-3 minutes). Can not realize what is caused this. Any idea how to fix it?
go to \Program Files\Panels\SonyEricssonPanel\ open config1.ini or config 2 and change SummerCity to 1...

I also had clock delays on my phone, sometime 20 minutes, sometimes 5min., sometimes 2hours...now I think its fixed.
This is what I did, I removed the clock on the panel, yes, because I was experiencing the same problem as yours....the panel has a different or later time than the one on the top bar, what happens is everytime I go to the panel top bar always adjusts to the late time on the panel...so I removed the clock on the panel.
Next, I was forced to hard reset because of a program I installed kept on stalling my phone for some reason.
Now my time (on the top bar) is always on time.
Maybe the solution was just the hard reset? but I still did not put time on my panel, I don't want that problem again!
