Upgraded to new 3.35 ROM.
Installed HTC Home, Home customizer, Pocket mechanic, Google maps, Memmaid, and then a few games.
When I go to Settings > System > Backlight, I can't adjust either of the settings for Brightness (on battery power, on external power). Both are 'stuck' all the way to the left.
Another interesting thing on Brightness. After installing the HTC Home, it has a button on the launcher tab set for 'Brightness' That doesn't work anymore either.
Anyone else seeing this?
reinstalled ROM. Working now. I'll test after each program install to see if it was a specific app that causes it.
Pretty sure it's HTC Home causing it. I've had similar issues. I need to look around at the different versions of Home, maybe one of them has it working correctly.

Which version are you using..try the 2.1 hermes for Home and v1.0 for the customizer that is the latest and greatest.
Thanks for the tip. I hate trying to track down latest versions of everything.
Could be HTC home. I don't remember which I installed before the ROM reinstall. But this time I installed a version I have that is called 'Schen 2.1 with N2A weatherpatch'
I had this same problem, oddly enough, after installing Nadavi Task Manager 2.0.31261.1. Uninstalling it didn't work and now I'm spellunking looking for a fix.
My Backlight adjustment wasn't working as well after I upgraded the ROM and reinstalled a bunch of stuff. After reading this thread I uninstalled the copy of HTC Home and voila, brightness adjustment works again.
The version of HTC home that futzes up the Brightness adjustment on the TITAN that I installed was: JUVS HTC Home.v2_1_1005722_s0.zip
I got this from the "All Extracted HTC Apps" Thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=344533
Thanks for the tip, else I'd ended uninstalling things left and right to figure out what caused the problem.
PS I probably won't be reloading another version of HTC Home... it's quite a memory hog.

hey guys, any clue why my mda vario II would keep minimizing full screen apps?
so far have seen it for my games as well as tomtom navigator, which is definitely no good. for games i keep goign back to the main menu or just going to the today screen - same goes with tomtom where it runs for 2 seconds and then is back to the today screen!

Has this just started happening?
Are you doing anything (tapping screen etc) when it happens?
Did you install a new prog after which it happens?
Have you tried anthing to solve it?
Does it do it i landscape as well?

> Has this just started happening?
Since my ROM upgrade to the latest HTC one (not WM6)
> Are you doing anything (tapping screen etc) when it happens?
With games, yes. with tomtom-no, it just minimizes.
> Did you install a new prog after which it happens?
Nope. also have no running apps in the background - did a reset, started no other app and it still does it.
> Have you tried anthing to solve it?
tried disabling connection / direct push etc, gotten rid of sbp plus and my theme.
> Does it do it i landscape as well?
yes.

Hiya
Thanks for info. Good news is those answers have ruled out a physical cause that some folks have been getting. But it takes you into a ROM upgrade matter which is not my area. You might want to try posting in the upgrading Hermes section.
Mike
i've posted it in that forum, thanks
probably a related issue, but my backlight does not turn off and my phone does not go off after 1 minute when running on battery, even though its set to!
annoying...

Probably, there will be registry keys for those settings but without a lot of tracking down I don't know which ones. Frankly I find my Hermes behaves a lot better with fewer freezes if I don't have it set to sleep/turn off backlight automatically - need to remember to do it manually though (which I don't always ) I'm lazy - waiting for all those glitches to be ironed out before moving to WM6 - keeping an eye on Kyphur and the boys though!

Hey guys, I appreciate all the work you have done on the manilla app. I am having a couple of issues though and am wondering if anyone knows what I can do. Everything was working perfectly on my i760, but all of a sudden I can no longer add contacts to the contacts screen, programs to the program screen, and if I hit the Sync Data, Wallpaper, Sounds or about buttons on the settings tab nothing happens either. I really would like this to work out since I loved using it for a few days while it was working, but now I can't do things that are essential to this app. I realize this is a beta, but is there anything that you guys may know of that I can do to get this back up and running correctly? Thanks in advance guys.
same experience
I have had the same experience running m2d on a iphone clone wm6 device (m88) ......lost count of the number of times I have wiped it all and started fresh : but ive got about 85% of this thing working .......what is essential is to go one step at a time......reset between each step ......even when you load m2d and the md2 patch for non htc devices (even though I read somewhere to load the two contiguously) ....then 1 app at a time ......still cant get the audiomanager to work or the photo/ camera app .....just renoved them with the m2dconfig app ......
I tried this many times and got into the "loaded one too many apps mode" ...things stopped working and I had to start fresh again .......be patient
Ok, i have an elf. of the phone variety.
No funny hats or curly shoes with bells on.
On the third panel of the HTC today screen,
the app launcher, it will no longer add anything.
I can click on the plus icon, and it will show me
a selecion of programs to add, but after clicking
"select" or "ok" it still wont show the item in
the launcher.
Anyone else had this problem?
More importantly, has anyone got a solution?
(and i have searched the forum. found nothing)
LOL....no really? I thought you actually got one of santa's little helpers
Hmmmm....never heard of that one. Did you make any changes to the phone recently? Install something, flash a new ROM? Have you tried soft resetting the phone? Also try to disable the HTC home plug in and then try to re-enable.
well, i did capture one a couple of years ago, but some rights organisation said it was politically incorrect for me to keep it, so i had to let it go.
anyway.
ive not changed the rom in any way. ive only just got it a couple of days ago.
but ill now try disabling it and enabling it again. see if it helps.
thanks for the idea
ok, nope, turning the htc home off and on again didnt work
and i didnt really keep anything and pretend it was an elf.
my previous comment didnt come out sounding sarcastic enough.
any other ideas?
If you havn't got HTC Home Customizer = get this and install on your device.
Not only can you customize the HTC Home plugin to make it prettier you can also add your app shortcuts through HHC and see if they will add that way.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=319308
This is the link to HTC Home customizer XDA - This link aslo has link to official site - it is freeware and worth downloading and installing anyways.
well, thats a prety fantastic program. Ive finally been able to get rid of that weather tab that i never use.
Sadly, whenever I try to add anything to the app launcher through the htc home customizer, it throws an error and closes.
???
:edit:
Fiddle-De-Dee
Just played with it some more and got it working ok.
i was making a silly mistake with the HHC.
Thanks for your helps folks.
sounds like something got really messed up on your device, probably a registtry change or another app is causing conflict.
Did you get this device brand new?
Have you installed anything recently? If so Try uninstalling it and see if it is working properly now?
Have you been playing around with changing registry settings? If so, try changing things back to the way they were originally.
Maybe if you got the device used, someone else had made these changes.
A hard reset will reset the device back to factory settings and may solve your problem. Unfortunately, you will loose everything you have put on your device, apps, contacts, any customization. You may want to look into backing up some of your data before performing the hard reset. Once hard reset is completed, you can add your custom apps again and start customizing again. No big deal really if you have not done much with your device yet. I have had to do it twice on my device - Just time consuming since I had a lot of customizing already done and had to redo it. Now I know to back up my data before doing a hard reset.
edit: I was typing this reply before you edited your post. Glad to hear that you got it working. Enjoy
I've searched the forums all day and there doesnt seem to be an answer, basically when i turned on my HD2 today it would not load Sense on startup, it keeps trying then eventually comes up with "Unable to start HTC Sense, tap here to try again" i've tried that about 30 times and still nothing! anyone have any ideas of how to get it to start? (checked my startup folder and there isnt much there)
I had this once, after installing and uninstalling a mod which fu**ed up the system (don´t remember which one). Only a hard reset could cure, but then again, maybe a much more experienced WinMo user could have solved it better...
I had a similar problem where I would re-start my HD2 and it would get to the screen where it loads Sense then it would re-boot. This would keep going round in cicles until I removed the battery.
It turned out to be MobiReg 1.11. I had to do a hard reset and not re-install this app.
I hope this helps.

Hi, I am author of that application and I must confess that this is first news that my application can cause this. If you are in mood for debugging, I would like to verify that issue and to discover root cause of this behavior.
I ran into the same problem with my HD2 with this app. Although mobireg did install and run for a while just fine on it for a while. So I think the cause of it was another program which I had installed. It was more for an older windows mobile version and I don't think it was for sense either. I don't recall the name of it but after I installed that my HD2 started to restart over and over. And after I wiped it clean it would still restart over and over whenever I had reinstalled mobireg.
If you have CHT, try reinstalling it. Has worked for myself and others.

I second it...It worked for me..
I'm having the same problem I've checked and unchecked HTC sense, re-booted, removed battery, re-installed CHT and still nothing is working. I go from one problem to another with this phone and i'm no computer wizard but a phone shouldn't be this much hard work.
If you've tried all the possible solutions in this thread and had no luck then Im afraid its hard reset time...
Any recent installs or did it come out of nowhere? (CHT / sense mods??)
edit, just noticed your cht comment.
Try installing a different version of cht.....(older or newer depending on which one you used last)
Long shot but you never know.....
Also try logging out of HTC peep and disabling the twitter tab from "settings - personalise - sense tabs"
just in case that up to its old tricks.........
i dont know what to do. ive rebooted the device about 5 times in the last 2 days. it will will go in to stand by mode and the screen will turn off as it should but when i try to press one of the keys the screen stays black and only the keys are lit up. sometimes if i wait about 30 seconds after i keep pushing it, the lock screen will come up but its a big pain.
the only thing i have installed on it is CHT 1.7.1 CHT editor 1.7.1.2 and Anastasia CHT theme. i had a bunch of other stuff but i didnt reload it since my last boot because i thought that may have been causing the problem.
What can i do?
which rom are you on? can you hard reset and run just stock for a few days and see what happens?
I honestly think the sleep of death is lock related imho
I believe there is already a thread on this. Try disabling the auto lock function on your device. I had the same issue and this resolved it for me.
It seems that the device won't bring up the slider bar to unlock the phone, the screen is locked out to avoid accidental key strokes, and that's why the hard keys still light up but you get no display.
You can try uninstalling CHT and see if that makes any difference, it has for some people when trying to fix this issue.
Another thing you can try is this:
Go into Settings -> All Settings -> Today, and on the "Items" tab, make sure the "Today timeout" box at the bottom is UNchecked. It's not a guaranteed solution, but it has cleared that problem for some.
Your feedback is appreciated
ok well it seemed like my texts were slowing it down a lot.. i wish there were settings to erase them automatically.. besides that everything is perfect now
Did you install ANY version (including 2.07) of the FileExplorerExt mod, or even the combine fix (0.3)?
I had nothing but problems with my phone until I uninstalled it. Even the supposed fix in 2.07 doesn't work.
After removing this application, I haven't had a phone freeze/lockup/refuse to wake up in over 2 weeks.

Yes, the issues with those extensions happen when you either (fully) close file explorer while it's pointed at the SD card, or let the phone sleep while it's open and pointed at the card. If you just hit the "up" button when you're done using it, so it's pointed at "my device" again, you shouldn't have those issues anymore.
Good work sir

So I have been running without cookies for a little while. I flashed to the new ROM and have been SOD free for about two weeks not. Not a hiccup. Dont know if it is the new ROM but I know when I uninstalled cookies it helped a lot. Im thinking maybe wednesday I will install cookies back. Maybe the new ROM fixed sense enough to allow me to re-install cookies.

Yeah, I'm anxious to hear the results when you try CHT again, especially with the new ROM.
Were you ever running the fexplorer extension(s) mentioned above? It hadn't occured to me before that that might be behind some of the lockups people experience.

I had Co0kie installed for 2 weeks (on original stock ROM) and had no SOD. Only when FileExplorerExt was installed did I have that issue. As of the new 2.13 ROM, had Co0kie installed and still no lockups. I installed the 0.3 combined FileExplorerExt fix last night and had SOD within 15 minutes. After uninstalling, been running without SOD ever since.
Unless you have a corrupt Co0kie install, I don't think that's a problem, thought nobody can totally rule it out. Seems every phone is different.

No I recently read about those fexplorers but never got around to trying them out. Seemed a little unnecessary for me. At one point after uninstalling I installed diniks icons and slider and it was still running great?! idk... I will keep you posted.
