Does anyone know why the ringtone on my exec keeps reverting back to the o2 tune randomly?
At a rough guess, you've set your ringtone to a file on the SD card, and every now and then when the exec goes into standby, it's unmounting the SD card. If it wakes up via a phoen call, it doesn't have time to re-mount the SD, and is falling back to the default one?
Just a guess mind you.
Thanks for your reply, however I am using one of the default ringtones of "ringer" which is not on the SD card.
I have found, and deleted, the crappy o2 tune from the PDA so it'll not revert to it in future, I will see how it copes from now on

Hi,
- something that's irritated me for a while now but I've never posted on it before:
I only turn bluetooth on when I need it. When I click the bluetooth tray icon, the settings screen takes ages to show. The close icon in the top right of the screen shows (as if it's partially loaded) but it takes 10-30 seconds for the remainder of the screen to show.
Is there an explanation for this behaviour - I can't find any similar topics on the matter. Anyway round it..?
cheers

I have also experienced this... from what I have found it mostly happens after switching on the device... sometimes it can take serval minutes for bluetooth setings to show!!
I have narrowed it down to the sd card... if you remove your sd card then the problem goes away!!
Upgrading to the 1.72 rom seems to have made this a lot better now, I only have to wait no more than 4 secs... :lol:

SD card and new ROM
Upgrading to the new ROM certainly improved things. I hadn't thought about removing the SD card.
If I use the 'Ultraprofiler' and select the appropriate profile i.e. flight/normal it shuts down/starts up the radio really quickly so I do it that way sometimes.
It's just that I make a habit of turning it off before I go to bed so that it isn't draining the battery all night - don't suppose it uses much power mind.
Hi,
is there a menu setting or registry change I can apply to stop my MDAc from switching on when I insert or remove the SD memory card?
Cheers
Not really me thinks. But you can use the SD Switcher posted earlier elsewhere to disable the SD card until needed. Saves your battery (apparently) and prevents genital warts. However, after testing, inserting an SD card just re-enables the slot and still switches it on.
There is a more heavy duty registry based solution I think, but I don't recommend it.

hmmm,
The Problem is that whenever I remove the SD Card and re-insert, tomtom resets all my POI settings, are am I barking up the wrong tree here?

Most of my software is stored on my mini SD card. If my device has been in sleep mode for some time, I get a "storage card has beem removed" error if I have left an app open. Alternatively, if I haven't left an ap open, it takes some time after waking the device before the apps on the storage card work properly.
I have been assuming that some sort of power manager on the Wizard kicks in to turn the storage card off - is this correct or do I have some sort of fault?
If it is correct, is there any way to make the storage card wake up faster when I turn the device on? [at the moment, if I am impatient, I remove and reinsert the card - which seems to work - but can't be a terribly good thing to do].
Many thanks
Chris
I am running into the same problem, if anyone has any suggestions please let us know.
Has anybody else seen this? it happens to both mine and my wife?
You cannot receive calls, and the alarms don't work? It needs a soft resest to start up again.
Any ideas?
If I understand your problem correctly the same thing is happening to my TyTN. I'm slowly trying to figure out if it's some software that I've loaded or not - any 3rd party apps you've recently loaded? The biggest problem for me is I can't tell if it's frozen or not until I try to turn it back on. Post any progress with fixes and I shall do the same.
Voice Command is the only culprit I can think off
I will uninstall it and see what happens, even though I love it it ha notorious bugs and power consumptions (it runs in the background 24/7)
Also here is a list of my software maybe you can add yours?

If you search the forum I think you find it has been traced to installing *some* apps onto the micro SD card.
Think I might have fixed it
I'm sitting here fingers crossed as I think I might have fixed this on my Vario II.
I was getting the hang in standby mode problem and having to soft reset on average about 3 times a day. I was reading in some forum or other that it has something to do with applications trying to access the SD card while in standby mode.
It occurred to me that this might have something to do with my email settings. I had a pop3 email account setup to download emails at 15 min intervals (24hrs a day).
I changed 2 things :-
1) Changed interval to 30 mins (basically to save baterry power)
2) Unchecked the 'Store attachments on storage card' check box on the Options - Storage tab.
I don't see how changing the interval would change anything apart from possibly reducing the number of crashes.
I think it could well be caused by email trying to store downloaded email attachments on the storage card when in standby.
It's been 2 days now without a hang.
Fingers crossed.
I'll update if it comes back.

I changed radio from 1.20 to 1.16
Because I realized that i had recently upgraded my wife's and then this started with her too.
I had 1.05->Radio 1.20>HANGS, so changed to 1.11> some hangs, but less, back to 1.20=hanging all the time=>back to 1.16, no hanging so far and battery improved.
Must be something to do with power usage as battery is much better now.
I conclude not such a great idea to upgrade with Chinese Dopod radio rom when living in London, who knows how they all set up their networks and GPRS etc.
Last night, with BT on, and AS in the background, I only lost 30% power compared to 50% before with these apps off. So a noticeable difference.
I got my HTC Universal yesterday, hence the newbie tag, feel free to point me at any wiki or faq that will help me, my first most pressing issue is that if the phone sleeps (i.e. left for a few minutes in battery mode) it forgets that the SD card is inserted and after waking it i have to eject and reinsert. I can live with reinserting after a restart or soft reset but this is really annoying. How can i get around it?
Edit Solved : Turned out to be a dodgy SD card and nothing wrong with the HTC!

Welcome to the forum
Try to install Advanced Config, with that app you can turn of the disable sleep mode for SD but your battery will suffer the consequences, I have not that problem
Good luck,
And dont forget to vote!
I've figured out how to turn on/off sleep mode now and have got the hang of that but it'd still be great for it to auto-detect the SD card on waking from sleep, even if i have to run a tiny teeny app (via shortcut!) to force it to notice it, instead of having to physically unclick, wait, click, wait to use the sd card.
To conserve power i basically keep it in standby 90% of the time - as i don't use it as a phone - so this is actually a bit annoying.
Have you tried changing the SD-Type in Settings\System\SD Settings?
There is no "SD Settings" in Settings/System
(Windows Mobile 5.0
Version 5.1.159
Build (14847.2.0.0))
Do you use a SDHC Card?
install a sdhc driver may solve the problem
No, normal SD card
