hi everyone.. i've had a problem that has been bugging me for quite some time now. it happens just once or twice a week, but it is still very annoying.
sometimes when i receive an SMS message on my trinity, nothing will happen, no alert, no screen light up, nothing.. and without me even knowing, my trinity has frozen. the green light still flashes, and i can try to ring the phone and it rings from the end i dial from.. but the phone does nothing, does not light up or make noise or vibrate. it's just stuck.. whenever this happens i have to soft reset, and when i do, i lose the text message that was received, and i am never able to read it.
i've pin-pointed it down to it only happening when i receive SMS messages, but even then it's only occassionally.. as i said, about once or twice a week.
has anyone else had this problem?
Did you use a third party soft like SMS notifier?
no i don't.. the only third party software i use is a tab control program to launch my applications from today screen, this has been happening since before i installed pretty much anything on the phone
*bump*
really annoying bug

Hi all
My Wizard has been acting very strangely for the last 24 hours. Without any obvious trigger evet, it has started doing the followig things:
- GSM notification light has started blinking amber without any associated problem or warning. Normally this means GSM disabled, but I can still place and receive calls fine.
- Refusal to sync with desktop. When I plug it in, both the computer and phone make studdery 'hardware connected' noises but nothing else. Whatever I try, I cannot coaxe them to talk.
- Worst of all, at seemingly random times, in perhaps 1-minute intervals, the phone vibrates briefly and makes the notification noise, as if an appointment was coming up. But there are no appointments, all system alarms have been turned off and I can't for the life of me tell what's triggering it - there's nothing in the task manager list, so it seems to be a system fault. This is making it an extremely annoying device to be around.
I tried a soft reset, nothing. I'm reluctant to do a hard reset beacuse I have some data which I mustn't lose (but I can't back it up). The only thing that I can think of is an application I installed a while back SMS Threader, which was pretty parasitic. I removed it, but apparently the uninstallation wasn't clean. The buzzes and noises sound a bit like what the phone would do when I received a message while I had SMS Threader installed.
Any ideas?
Thanks...
Hi,
I faced this problem too often, so I ask on this forum to know if it only happens to me:
when I end the call, telephone programs stucks. In the top bar, the indication of an on going call is still there. Everything is working except telephone application. I can't open the telephone options. Even if I turn on Airplane mode, the phone logo in the top bar remains.
Any idea?
I had that problem once. Did it occur when you dialed a number not in your phone book? It turned out the prompt for saving a new dialed number was still there but I somehow couldn't access it. Perhaps turn that setting off?
no, it was an outgoing call to someone in my phonebook. (at least in my last problem)
facing the same problem. after ending a call the phone app freeze a couple of minutes and sometimes more than ten minutes
Did you installed the HTC patch to avoid the freeze ?
I didn't.
Could it be usefull there ?
This is really annoying if you have to wait 10mn before doing an another call !
Problem happened again
The problem happened again yesterday.
But worse. I was leaving a message on an answering machine. and I couldn't end the call !
Pressing the right key (end call) had no effect !
Usually in my previous problems, the other user was ending the call.
So I had to switch off the phone in comm manager !
I'm surprised that no one else faced this problem !
I tried to follow one's advice to wait then until phone gets back to normal. (release the phone icon in the top bar).
After one hour, I finaly rebooted the phone to be able to do an outgoing call.
Help !
Phone blocks during or after a call
Hello guys and girls
I had the same problem last week, a couple of times in a row, I was on the phone with a contact, after a couple of minutes I couldn't hear anything anymore and tried to end the call but no joy, a soft reset did the thing the first time, the second I waited a couple of minutes wich worked aswell. It was very annoying I must say especially as it happened 4 times in a row...
Hoping for a solution

It seems a bug. You can press volume up/down buttons on the device itself to open the volume bar screen. After that just press somewhere on the grey area to go back to home screen. The top bar will restore from the phone application.
It's not the top bar. The phone application is completely unavailable.
We see the top bar,but the phone icon is stuck. Like if we were still on call.
I too have a similar problem.
Although I haven't particularly logged the prolems, I think that it only happens on incoming calls, and not outgoing ones.
During a phone call, the incoming sound just goes mute, and afterwards I can't hang up the call.
I reckon I have lost well over half the calls I have received because of this.
Luckily, not many people call me!!
I reckon this is a CRAP phone, and am seriously thinking of getting a REAL phone, and just using the HD as a PDA device. Good old HTC!!!!!!
I edited the title of this topic.
The phone app is really stucked : I called an answering machine, I wasn't able to end the call !
Help !
I am thinking of changing ROM.
1024 Leo, USA T-Mobile version.
It only happens with incoming email, SMS and calls are fine.
When I try to reproduce the problem, I simply have to wait for the phone to check for new mail. The the phone notifies me about new email. If I try to turn the screen on, it won't. The hard button lights up, indicating the phone is on but I can't interact with the screen. Resetting the phone via the red button is the only remedy.
If I act real fast when new mail comes, sometimes I'm able to start sliding to unlock but it still crashes. If I'm really fast I'm able to even get to the mail screen but it still crashes.
But the crash does not occur if I'm already using the phone when new email comes in. If I want to reproduce it, I have to leave the phone "alone", with the screen off. If the screen is on when the new mail comes in, the crash does not occur.
The problem started occurring with completely stock phone, the very first day, without making changes. As I cab tweaked the phone, (no ROM) the problem persists, it happens.
Because of this problem, when I wake up in the morning, I can't use my phone because the screen doesn't turn on and I have to restart the phone so I can use it. My mail send/receive interval is set for 4 hours so while I sleep the phone receives new email at least once.
I investigated similar problems for TP2 and Touch HD but it does not help.
I backed up everything on my phone so I'm ready to make changes if you have any advice. I checked for: changing the email ring tone, wake up on new email setting. They have no effect on this problem.
After this happens, I tried calling my phone. It will not ring, but the hard buttons light up but are unresponsive, I can't neither pick up nor reject the incoming call. I sent an SMS to the phone in this state, it didn't do anything.
Do you have knowledge that can help me? Is anyone willing to try to reproduce the problem on their phone?
All you would do is set any ring tone for incoming mail, leave the phone with the screen off and "wait" for new email to come in. Don't do anything for a minute and then check if the crash occurred.
Please help, I hate waking up to a crashed phone that I need to restart every time. Because of this problem, setting a wake up alarm is useless.
If you can't help with this, at least is there any way I can "force" the phone to restart without removing the battery cover?
Thank you.
Volume changes - For instance, I'm at work and I sent my phone to silent or vibrate first thing in the morning. Then, on my break I would use my phone but not change the silent or vibrate mode at all. All of a sudden, I'm off my break working, and my phone would ring and I would be like "WTF, I put it on silent/vibrate" .....and this doesn't happen all the time, just occasionally on its own. Anyone else having this issue?
SMS text not showing - With this issue, I would tap the text message box and would see myself texting, then all of a sudden I can't see what I'm typing at all, until I tap the text box again. It gets hella annoying and want to know if this issue was apart of the SMS bug issue.
Please give me advice for any or both of my issues. Thanks

I get that same issue, in my case the cause is a new message appearing in the thread, while I'm still composing a reply to an earlier one...any time that happens, my text input box disappears behind the keyboard, until I close and open it again.
+1 i have the same issue, super ****ing annoying

Does any one else use shazam? bc i noticed when i loaded in to it this issue with volume started
ok nvm still having issue and soft reset does not work
Anyone else has this or is it just me, when i receive a text message my phone freezes for 4-5 seconds and after that back to normal.
if im doing some thing i notice it hangs for a second but nowhere near that long.
I Agree
I noticed this issue more today than any other. I recently hard reset my phone, and thought that I needed to reapply some hotfixes, so I did. On the way home I will see if my music keeps cutting out during bandswitching and receipt of text messages.
Why just WinMo priotise so much resource to receive a poxy text?!? It doesnt need 1Ghz of power for such a basic communications protocol!
Mine freezes after clicking send. It freezes for like 10s and sometimes the message I send doesn't show under the message I received.
