TyTN virtual keyboard disappears

Developed a strange problem -- was using Resco Keyboard Pro and it stopped working (I saw other msg threads on this so it's apparently not unique to me). Long story short -- ended up with a bricked TyTN (had the Imate ROM and ExtROM in it at the time) -- couldn't recover even with hard reset. So I reflashed the device and used the latest Cingular 8525 ROM with the HTC ExtROM (actually I also installed the Cingular ExtROM too). After tediously reinstalling all my software except Resco Keyboard Pro, it seemed to be working OK but then (within hours) I noted that the little keyboard symbol in the lower tray began disapearing -- it momentarily flashes when I start a program but is not there when I need to click on it and bring up the keyboard.
I'm baffled -- any suggestions are most welcome.

1 reason found for Trion hangs/freezes at Windows boot screen

Hi,
seems I have nailed down one situation, when trion refused to boot through. Whenever I have WLAN active and the system hangs (happened last time today when trying to start up avantgo) its very likely the xda won't boot correctly after soft reset.
Usually I solved it by going to bootloader and softreset again. Today this didn't help, also booting with and without SIM/battery in all combinations didn't help.
So I connected the phone in bootloader mode and sent some commands via mtty.
Don't know why, but this helped the phone to boot again. Weird.
Now - is there a way to switch off WLAN via mtty in case it happens again?
Dirk
P.S.: never give up when the xda hangs, I refuse to use a hard reset (unfortunately it required xx reboot trials and 1 hour of my time...)

Hi,
still there are occasions, where my TyTN hangs at Windows Mobile screen while booting. I couldn't find any system behind it...
I had several suspicions:
- HTweakC while Power Saver Tweak was enabled,
- pBar, when being set to automatically load,
In both cases, removing this options seemed to help, but shortly after that the hangs came up again.
Did anybody else also experience frequently hangs while booting and could isolate some reasons for that?
P.S.:
I know some of the hangs are related with today plugins. The only I have currently is Birthdays 1.2.10. I just removed this as well, but the XDA seems to hang after the reboot again.

How likely are hangs at bootup time hardware related?
Is it a common problem with AKU2.3 and could an upgrade to 3.3 help?
I just don't want to mess around and waste a lot of time - would you suggest to send it in for repair?
(My operator claims, that I should do a hard reset. After that everything is fine. But why should I use an XDA without adding any more program and risking that behaviour?)

I have only ever had one hang on boot up. I have AKU 2.3. Used to get lots of freezing at other times, but it appears I have cured all that and it has settled down very nicely. I also have several today plugins spread over multiple desktops using WAD.
I just wonder (and I am no expert here) whether you may have a little corruption in boot up files. Have you actually tried a hard reset yet?
Having learned several lessons I took mine back to scratch with a hard reset and used SPB backup at each stage as I reloaded software. This way I am able to return to a nicely working setup (within 5 minutes) if I load something duff along the way.

Yep, did a hard reset and installed some programs. I will try to adopt your way of adding programs. Even if it takes a lot of extra time. Now I need at least 5-6 soft resets, until one works.
However - did anyone ever notice, that sometimes between the operator splash screen and windows mobile splash screen, there is a scrambled splash screen with vertical lines in windows mobile splash screen colors?

Do I understand you correctly - even after hard reset you still need several soft reset attempts to get it going?

Hi,
no... if its "O2 virgin" ROM its working.
okay, seems to answer my question regarding HW problem. It seems not to be one.
This is the SW I then installed (maybe in different order):
- Avantgo
- Flashplayer 7
- tcpmp
- SPB Gprs monitor (came with the hardware)
- Clearvue PDF viewer (came with the hardware)
- Birthdays plugin
- HTweakC
- SK Tools
- pBar
I removed battery and communication manager Icon from frontscreen with HTweakC and tried the battery saving tweak. More I can't remember.
I will pay attention now with setting it up again. Did some of the above ring a bell?

Nothing obvious but I wonder about pbar given it appears to monitor a lot of actions and will load at start up.
I'd also do the following with backups before and after. It's a pain doing some of this from scratch if things go pear shaped.

Hello all, This newbie needs some help!

Hello everyone,
I am new to the world of pocket pc phones (Smart phones) I have a Verizon XV-6700 with the stock rom. My questions are as follows,
1 Can the RAM (memory) be upgraded in the handset? (thought I read it could be done on this site)
2 I have the following programs installed to the device and wanted to know if any of them could be installed to the memory card, in order to free up some of the phones memory.
Shape Services IMPlus
HTC SDHC
Zombienexus.net WM6 3G video...
Emulamer SiriuCEsp
TCPMP The Core Pocket Media Player
Microsoft SQL Mobile 2005
Microsoft .NET CF 2.0

Tom Tom 6 2day by ifalleni (Today plug-in)
Tom Tom Navigator 6 by ifalleni (Program launcher)
WinCESoft RemoteControl II
Microsoft Voice Command US PPC...
Teksoft BlueMusic
Arcsoft Arcsoft MMS
Customization VZWProvision
Sync Client
The above GREEN colored items are for Tom Tom the maps are stored on the memory card
The above RED items are things I installed after hard reset with show ROM hack done.
So if I could get some input from the experts that would be great, as I love this phone but am running out of room quick!
Thank you all,
David

Still need help with this!
TTT
Anyone?

yes you can. i have the same phone. when did you purchase your phone. also, put it into bootloader by holding the power button, the record button, and pressing the soft reset button with your stylus. the version number is at the bottom. if it's 2.04 or 2.05 then no you can't because of the new verizon rom. after you find out the bootloader number, do a soft reset and when the first screen comes up, it gives you the P, R, and D numbers on the bottom right. WHAT DOES YOURS READ??? but other then that a new rom can be flashed on your ppc and a new radio can be too.

Ok so far I have mooved a bunch of stuff over to my storage card, and had to switch the S2U2 settings to not suspend power and all is fine.
My new problem is charging!
When I plug it in at home to the supplied charger or my computers USB port to active sync it charges fine but when I plug it in to any of the 2 car chargers it won't charge?
I have the verizon car charger as well as a motorola one (wifes)
I just don't get it!
Any one know why?
I have all the programs listed above as well as the following reg hacks,
Show GPS
Enable data disconnect
Keyboard backlight timer set to 30 seconds
Wireless modem enabled
I may have others that I can't remember!
Any help on this would be great.
Thank you,
David

BTW I also have touch pal kebord, Quick menus, and Taskmgr 2.7 installed. I also have an extended battery from Seidio don't know if that matters?
Thanks !

I will do as you say but I can't do this till Tuesday as I am at work till then (nice job) I work straight through the weekend 52 hours and am off the rest of the week! I will be sleeping from Monday morning till Tuesday morning.

Ok I know why it don't charge in my vehicle, The car chargers only put out 400ma and the home charger is rated at 1 amp (over twice the power) So I have ordered a 1 amp car/home USB charger that I just plug my sync cable in to.
Hopefully this works!
Thank you,

Touch Screen

Hi, I have a problem with my Cingular 8125. See my touch sreen is not working and I just flashed my phone. Now I am at the part where it tells me to "Tap the screen to set your Windows Mobile based device." Since my touch sreen is not working, I can not touch it, well I did but it does not work. Is there any other way I can by pass this? Any help is really apprecited, thanks in advance.

why not install wm6 standard rom without (touch screen)

If can provide the link, I would really apprecite it and also I tried flashing the ROM with WM6 but I have Vista. I followed all the steps in how to update ROM with Vista but it doesn't work. Everytime I try to flash the phone, it says "ROMUpdateUtility MFC Application has stopped working" and I can not seem to find any solutions .

PLEASE NOTE!!! SMARTPHONE(Non touchscreen) AND POCKET PC ROMS ARE TWO DIFFERENT THINGS! YOU CANNOT FLASH A SMARTPHONE ROM TO A POCKET PC!

I tried flashing the Cingular 8125 with a WM6 ROM, and that doesn't work. I couldn't find any ROM that has the touch sreen disabled . Is there a WM6 for Cingular 8125 that has the touch sreen disabled? If anyone could help me, I would really apprecite it.
- Thank You...

If your touch screen doesn't work I don't know how much use the phone will be for you but to get past the spot your in at this stage of your install you can always use a freeware called my mobiler at mymobiler dot com or pocket controller pro from any of the usual places.

Than you for the software information, it really helped but I'm still stuck, I am at the "align screen" part, I keep tapping the target but never works.. .

I just posted this on another forum and then I read this posting. Based on what I read here, the MDA is totally hosed if you cannot use the touch screen?
Well my MDA Touch Screen has finally quit working. My MDA is almost 2 years old. Now I have a problem using the MDA since I am so use to using the Touch Screen. Has anyone tried to use the MDA without the touch screen?
If so, how did you setup your MDA? I cannot even get to the various button menu to reset all my buttons. I have been using SPB PocketPlus, SPB Diary, etc., and now I am at a loss to even get to the Menu Screen. Any suggestions will be appreciated. Thank you in advance.

All I can say is that you can try to change the touch screen or call T-Mobile or HTC to see if they will replace it for you. I just ordered a new touch screen I found on eBay and am waiting until it comes so I can replace it and see what happens. If you are having software problems, I am not sure what problems you are having, you can try to re-flash the MDA with the newest MDA ROM or a ROM on this site...
Hope it helps

I had the exact same problem you had, and I finally came across a solution on a different site.
All you need to do to bypass this is connect your phone to your pc (usb activesync) and browse the contents on your wizard and delete \\\Windows\StartUp\Welcome.ink . Then soft reset your phone and you are past the screen calibration part and continuing the installation

Can you tell me how to find this file? I've connected my 8125 to my PC, but did a search for the file and it's not found. If I can bypass the screen it would at least be able to be used. I appreciate your help. Also, using My Mobilier doesn't work if you can't tap the screen as I tried it.

Omnia and Destinator

Hey guys.
Haivng a problem with my Omnia and destinator 7 working together.
On standard wm6 rom worked ok till one day it stopped working properly.
When you open Destinator it would show loading screen then pause for 5secs or so then go back to main screen on phone. BUT the top task bar was gone and it showed the top part of destinaotr there. So you couldnt open it again or really do anything.
Now if i soft reset it before trying to open it and open destinator STRAAIGHT away when it reboots it works a treat.
I have recently installed a custom 6.5 row and was working fine for a few weeks and is now doing the EXACT thing.
Any suggestions at all. I have a mate with the exact phone and exact problem but his works sometimes. Mine wont open at all unless i soft reset.
Cheers
Matt
