WM5 = Device.exe error, no Start Menu, no phone, slow boot - HTC Typhoon

I got WM5 installed on my T-Mobile SDA and it loads up but 1) It is very slow booting and loading. 2)Turns off Randomly and 3) I keep getting a device.exe error and 4) the Start Menu does not work! I have it plugged into the wall and with the SIM card in it I can't get service. Also the Battery Meter shows that the battery is empty all the time. Please help!

"Synchronizing Connection..." stuck at 90%.

Love my jam, but this is driving me nuts.
Very frequently (approx 3 or 4 in every 5 times), whenever I do a soft reset and my Jam starts up I see a progress bar of "Synchronizing Connection" that gets stuck at 90%.
It never gets stuck at any number and remains on the screen from there on. The device "appears" to be more unstable while in this state also with some features not working properly. I have nothing unusual installed on the device (I've selected deinstalled everything) and have tried it with and without the SD card.
Anyone have any ideas or experienced something similar? Is v frustrating.
Thx,
Lawrence
Try going to "start - settings - system - permanent save" and uncheck the "connections" box.
worked!
Basme, awesome - this worked perfectly. V much appreciated

TyTN freezes overnight, everytime

Hi guys,
My TyTN appears to freeze up EVERY night while on charge, which is a pain if I have alarms set. The only way to get it working again is to soft-reset it. There is usually nothing running in the background, and it has the standard Orange today screen set.
Any ideas?
Are you using Sprite Backup? I found that mine would freeze at the start of the backup (with option to backup to PC) until I disabled "advanced networking functionality" under Connections... USB to PC.
Never got a clear answer why, or for that matter what that "advanced functionality" is...
No, not using Sprite backup. I might just hard reset the thing and make sure its not buggered!!
Have you got a minisd in. If so you could try leaving this out.
BTW if you gave complete info about your device [ROM, software, sdcard,...] you may get more help.
I have the same problem, every night freezing
I have the I-mate Rom, APPZ running are: SBSH pocket wheather, batti, activesync
http://forum.xda-developers.com/viewtopic.php?t=59007
i have the same thing happening on mine, from what i can tell the problem only occurs when you Dont shut off your device and it is on for some time. If you press power and let it bee it always works fine, but for example when you talk on the phone for say 30minutes, during these 30minutes you dont turn the pda off, then when your done talking you will notice it is hung and you have to soft reset it. so remember, turn the pda off!
i am also led to believe this might be because of the strange battery meter, maybe someone can test this: use the phone so it sais 90% or less, start mediaplayer and play music for 1hour or so, with the screen on (set it so it never turns off in settings), then after 1hour check if the device works? i think the screen freezes when the battery drops from 90% to 80%...
sorry for the long post
This happens to me as well, I never had it running through a single night.
But for me, it is related to this problem: http://forum.xda-developers.com/viewtopic.php?t=60543 (TyTN does not detect any SIM cards).
My device detects the SIM card with a probability of 1:10 and then runs for 5 minutes or 5 hours until it locks up (while still draining the battery), e.g. overnight. The TUF (time until freeze) obviously depends on the signal strength (i.e. the number of failed connection retries), which is why the problem is hard to explain in the mobile shop downtown.
At home, most of the time it already hangs on the PIN screen (device PIN, not the SIM card's) or during the blue "Windows Mobile" startup splash screen, shortly after the left LED flashes.
I have to return it.

Hmmmm interesting...I bet some of you experiencing this problem have Agile Messenger installed?
same here, but only since 2 days and during the day, with or w/o BT on.
My Orange SPV M3100 freezes with no reason at all. I've done a hard reset & loaded no programs whatsoever. I've enabled push email & normally have wifi & 3G activated. My device is freezing upon waking it up from sleep mode & when charging overnight. It doesn't happen all the tme but it does happen quite regularly.
At first I thought it might be a program I loaded but even now it still does it. I'm reverted back to using my Wizard as main phone until Orange can get this sorted out.
I want to try a different rom but not until there is way to go back to the original rom.
I'm a user of a Dopod 383 Pro.
Also experiencing the hanging every night problem. Also trying to isolate what is causing it. I suspect it is either:
1. Bluetooth (it seems to hang when I leave bluetooth on)
or
2. MicroSD card (I am using a 2GB Sandisk card, it didnt seem to hang when I was using a 1GB Sandisk card)
And yes, I do have Agilemessenger installed - although not sure if that has to do with anything.

2. MicroSD card (I am using a 2GB Sandisk card, it didnt seem to hang when I was using a 1GB Sandisk card)
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
I inserted the card using the adapter into my PC SD slot and checked it.
It (FAT 16) was heavily fragmented, I've defragmented and since today (2 days) non more overnight freeze
anyway ny tytn doesn't freeze overnight, BUT i don't use BT on during sleep. probably i had freezes during the day when BT was on, so... could you please check if freeze occours with BT on?
Progress in freezing problem analisys... Never used BT overnight, I've checked and stopped any app using SD card and now I haven't see any freeze.
Also I have the storage card disappeared from windows media player menu.
Checking the card my MSMETADATA dir is "invalid" from Total Commander menu. If I select "update library" all storage card files are detected, but not added to library
I delete it , update and the storage et voila', the card re-appears!
I am almost sure that the freezing problem in my device is a storage card writing problem, NOT related to storage card.
In stand-by mode the storage is "unmounted"? No power? Low Power?
Same happens in first wizard ROMS...
Update: I was experiencing overnight hanging problems on my Dopod 838 Pro (with the Dopod ROM).
Recently I flashed it with the imate ROM - and no more overnight hanging! I tried it with Bluetooth on as well - its okay.
It Agile Messenger! i have had all the roms and found my phone crashed over night and i missed my wake up alarms and if someone tries to call, it will ring on their end, but my phone will not respond so i dont even know who's called.
anyway, i reinstalled the imate rom afterwards again, without Agile Messenger and it's fine.
but now have a new vodafone v1605 with the voda rom and so far so good.
DONT install Agile Messenger.

Cannot transfer files from MDA to PC

Right, So I've decided that it's time to go with the custom rom due to some problems I've been having.
I am not able to transfer files from the phone to my pc or browse the windows folder with my pc.
On top of this I have other problems.
For starters the phone refuses to turn off on it's own. I have it set to turn the backlight off after 30sec and the entire display off in 1min. The backlight turns off ok but the screen never does. I can turn the phone off normally with the power button but as soon as a notification occurs the phone turns on and never turns off. This has been killing my battery on the nights I forget to plug it in.
The other problem I have is activesync just doesn't work. Most times it just sits there saying retrieving settings forever, I can browse the phone but not sync it. If I delete the partnership and recreate it I can get it to sync once but not again. Most other times the phone just says waiting for network when I try to sync.
I also have been getting alot of random crashes on the phone and really slow response. So I've been attempting to downgrade to the 1.8 rom so I can SIM unlock with Lokiwiz. I believe I've got the right rom from XDA's ftp but I can't seem to get it to install.
I get to this message and it just hangs
"Running machinagod's HTC Wizard Unlocker"
I get this when I try a straight upgrade to the 2.26 custom rom as well.
However nothing happens to the phone, I can close out the bat window and disconnect the phone and nothing ever happens.
I know I've got the right versions to beable to do all this but alas nothing seems to work.
Here's my bootup screen.
IPL: 2.26
SPL: 2.26
GSM: 02.25.11
OS: 2.26.10.2
Can anyone help me out or has t-mobile done something to completly cripple my phone?
EDIT:
I've done a bit of troubleshooting and it seems the trouble I'm having with SIM and CID unlocking has to do with the ability to transfer from the device to the PC. The unlock programs are trying to create lock_backup.bin but that file never gets written cause I cannot transfer any data from the MDA to the pc.
Is there a regedit that might beable to fix this? I've tried everyting, multiple pc's disabling all firewalls, even uninstalling firewalls does nothing.
I figured it out.
apparently my firewall had some registry entries after an unintall.
Removed those entries and all is working fine now.

S200 Hanging every now and then

I have Qtek S200 for 3-4 months.
First I had wm5 2.20.7.34. The phone used to hang sometimes. Usualy if the wifi was on and I suspend it it will hand when I wake it up. The screen stays lit and no button/touchscreen works. The power button also wont work so I had to do SR.
I thought upgrading to wm6 will fix the problem and I tried pda mobiz 20.b3 and b4.
The phone still will hang sometimes. Finlay I installed Prophet Touch v6. Its great rom but it also hangs and sometimes its 2 times in a day..
There is no way to predict when it will happen but usualy its more often when I use Internet gprs or wifi. Most often when I use the wifi( I guess
I have upgraded to the latest Radio ROM but I cant see any diference.
So my question is, How often u guys get hangs on your prophets?
Is this normal?
Is there a way to make it work with no hangs at all or this is the way it is?
Im not using overclocking and the phone usually hangs when its left alone not while I use it.
In wm5 it usually used to hang right after I wake it from suspend while in wm6 I just cant wake it, it stays dark.
Well, when I had the original i-mate ROM I almost never needed to do an SR, unless I was really messing with it.
Then I tried PDAmobiz b4 and I got the phenomenon you describe:
Some times I would turn on the device and notice the clock was an hour or two behind and the device would not respond. Basically it hanged quietly and I didn't even know.
After suffering this for a week I changed the ROM to my current PDAViet 4.0.0.0.6 Touch and it seems fine so far (better then the original).
Perhaps a different ROM, maybe a WM 5 not 6 will work for you.
Also you should see what kind of programs are running in background on your device. Maybe one of them is the problem.
Actually I had the problem u described with the original wm5 ROM not with the wm6 roms.
The thing is that the original rom had many other problems and for this reason I dont want to go back to it.
For example I could connect with gprs without problems but after disconnecting I was unable to connect again. The device was saying "The answering modem has disconnected" or one of 2-3 other messages like that I was in a phone session and so on. The only solution was to restart the phone app...
The phone dialer was terribly slow. When pressing the dialpad buttons it was taking about a second for the phone to respond
Also I noticed that the same problem u described when the device freezes just after wakeup will generally happen if the wifi was left on.
If I switched it off I had almost no freezes.. but u know Ive got this phone to use its network capabilities and it looks like the network part was most buggy
All this is about the original wm5 qtek rom.
With wm6 I only have this case when the phone dont want to wake up. It just stays dark when I press the power button.
It will also freeze somethimes when I work but not very often..
Currently I use Prophet Touch v6 by gullum
I few months ago I have read that windows has some delay bringing up the sd card online after suspend and that this may cause problems if some program tries to read the Storage card before its online. For that reason there was suggestion to install all system and most used programs in the internal storage.
Now I have noticed that SPB Insight was installed on the storage card and I use its today plugin so I reinstalled it to the internal storage to see if this will help.
I have the same problem
Please help me to find out why my S200 hanging and hanging and hanging
i have got same problem in my prophet...my model is orange m600............is there anybody to help....

iPaq hw6945 freezes unless unplugged

Hi there,
I have an iPaq hw6945 and it freezes every time the battery goes below about 60% or so... Then it freezes at boot every time unless I plug it in to charge. The curious thing is after plugging it for the boot, I can use it for a while and it freezes again (and the battery gets hot fast when below 60%)...
Is the battery screwed? Do you think another thing is screwed? Is there any error log or something on Windows Mobile to analyze what the problem is?
I'm out of warranty so HP support sucks for me unless I pay. I just want to know if there is any way / tools to analyze what the problem is.
Thank you,
P.S.: it freezes at boot time but during Windows Mobile progress bar (not always in the same place); so I'm suspecting maybe on a failing battery driver. Is there any bootlog or debug mode that can be enabled?
P.S.2: already tried hard-reset, the only change I've made recently was the failing ROM update from HP corrected with another post here (taking German version of hpRUU.exe).
