Hi, I recently hard reset my HTC Vogue (Bell Mobility) and for some strange reason, whenever I put the phone to sleep (power key on the top) it stays there permanently, no keys work, nothing will wake it up. Any ideas?
try start settings system key lock.
tried that, same results when I turn the keylock off. I think it's my ROM though, I need to find an official Bell ROM to flash back to.

I'm pretty sure it's your ROM. Many users have had the same issue with the Alltel ROM.
I'm having the same problem.
Only thing is i used the file listed on these forums as being shipped in box for my Sprint. Everything else works fine except this and it used to work before. Only reason i used the one listed here as official is that i had a bad flash with the Alltel rom. It's supposed to be the official Sprint one. If anyone has any ideas it would be greatly appreciated. I'd hate to reflash because it took 2 hours just to put back my contacts manually and all the other programs i had in there originally.
Nevermind..I turned off the auto time synchronize with mobile network button as suggested in another link and it works so far.

Hi,
I have MDA Vario version of HTC Wizard.
After a ROM upgrade (to version 2.21.2.11) I have the following problem :
If I set AlwaysOn=1 in the registry, then GPRS is always connected as it should be - but when the device goes out of standby (by pressing (I) button or by an incoming call/message), the keyboard and touch screen do not respond for 10-20s. I can hear beeps when pressing keys but nothing happens (e.g. I cannot pick up a call...). After an annoying while, everything goes back to normal until a next standby-wake up cycle.
I've re-flashed the device with my operator ROM three times already, no other programs are installed (except customization stuff) and still have the same problem.
Before I decide to use some custom ROM, I'd rather try to find some other solution...
Any idea ?
regards
Maciek
AHHH me too
same setting applied and now i can i get a white screen after the tmob boot screen. when i call my phone it dosnt ring but the send & end buttons light up. the green signal indicator light is on too, and thats it. it also sleeps after a few min like normal, but the when i wake it up, the signal light is flashing but the backlight is not on. i really want to figure out how to put a txt file in the root of a card with instructions ot reinstall the backup reg i have. or get an activesync of my favs, list of apps, and outlook. any thoughts would be appreciated.....its my first ppc/wm device (xircom rex 6k --> handera 330 --> sharp zaurus 5500sl --> sharp zaurus 6000l --> HTC Wizard/T-mobile MDA Vario).

Hi - I am having a problem almost identical to the one in the first post. when my phone is in standby something happens which means it does not respond when turned on for about 20seconds, although it will anser a call. it's very annoying if you want to add a date quickly or send a text.
I have turned off gprs always on, removed any storage card plugins, and changed exchange server to only sync the last 3 days instead of everything. I am really a bit confused as tbis problem has only come about since I installed the tmob 2.26 rom and latest uk radio (after unlocking my phone) my phone previously worked fine with the current uk rom but was very slow toboot up. I don't really want to downgrade but i'm not seeing much option rihgt now. did anyone ever solve this?
any help greatly appreciated.
I am not really sure if this is a result of the GPRS ALWAYS ON settings - it just does not look that way!
I had a similar problem without having GPRS always turned on. After I reflashed the phone with exactly the same ROM again everything works fine. Did you booth install the CUSTOM ROM integrated in the flashed ROM as well or did you perform a SOFT RESET before it could install? The reason I ask is because of I think the problem is in the way how the WIZ writes / adds contents to the REGISTRY. It might have been that you resetted the device a bit too fast after HARD RESET or REFLASH and some of your REGISTRY KEYS are messed up!
If you have the possibility to perform a HARD RESET or REFLASH of your device: please try it and see if the problem persists! But please do not reload a backup afterwards because it would import also the faulty registry again ...
Please post your results afterwards, so, others would have a solution in future!
will give that a shot, although I did a completely clean install on this phone - no imported backups etc... is there any tool that can reset my registry to default settings?

Not really!
Depending on your phones ROM and CUSTOM ROM your registry will differ from others anyway, so, the only one way to get a 'default registry' is to perform a hard reset.

Whenever I turn my device on, it goes back to the today screen and for the life of me cannot find any option to disable this!
I'm using LVSWs WM6 ROM.
RAH! Driving me nuts.
Thanks.

I have the same problem with my PC. Every time I boot it up it goes to the desktop!
Can't work out how to stop it.

Good to know I'm not the only one. I don't think it always did this either.
Do you have HTweakC installed?
ok I am a little lost here if you put your device in standby it will awake to what ever screen was there before it went to sleep. If you power your phone off completely it HAS to start at the today screen thats just how it boots up... try using the ROM i have posted in the forum in my SIG since i have no issues with it.

I'm not sure that we are understanding your question properly. I can see some of those replying above are puzzled as well.
As Austinsync says above if you turn on after normal sleep mode you return to the screen you were on before. If you fully powered off (not something you should be doing in regular use) then it will go to the today screen.
So, when you start up your device what screen do you expect to see if it's not the today screen?

I believe I undestand the OP because I have the same problem. No matter what you have loaded, after going into standby the phone returns to the Today screen. The original active app is still loaded, but not in the foreground.
I have tracked the problem down to either pocketbreeze or Handyswitcher. I'll test more when I return from the business trip I am currently on.

Marcelo

Hmm.. I'm not using either of those programs. As for software running, I'm using HTC X-Button, phonealarm and spb tools.
I just flashed a different ROM. Older LVSW modified by austinsync this time. Same problem!
I just flashed the LVSW by Sleuth255 and it doesn't do this!
It seems to have been a problem with all of austinsync's ROMs. Phone starts up MUCH quicker now too!
EDIT: I just remembered that the customizations from EXTROM didn't run with Sleuth255's ROM. Could be part of it.
I have the same problem with Schap's Rom (3.57). Anyone else?
My .02.
I recently hard-reset my Schap's 3.57 ROM and have installed minimal software that interact with the Today screen. Before hard-resetting the device, my system would also go to the Today screen whenever my device came out of standby. After the hard-reset, it no longer goes to the Today screen until after the timeout period defined in the Today Settings.
Before Hard-Reset on Today Screen:
Office Communicator
Windows Live Search
Activesync Exchange Server Direct Push
Palm Messaging
After Hard-Reset on Today Screen:
Palm Messaging
No Data Connection or Direct Push
Hope this helps.
Murad
-----------------------------------
Running Schap's 3.57 ROM, not the Official HTC WM6 ROM (as in my signature)
I really don't have this problem!
OS see my signature
I just had to hard-reset (Schap's 3.54b), and the device still goes to today screen. Gaaaahhhh!!!
This is also being discussed here.
mikechannon suggested this might only happen when you're using device lock? My exchange admin requires it - I have a device lock and I also use Zenyee Stayunlock to allow me to adjust my settings...
Hello all,
First let me say that i have searched hight and low for some info about this but didn't get anything (not just on this site but the internet in general).
I bought a t-mobile UK HD2 and have used HardSPL to flash stock HTC ROM 1.66.405.2 from the HTC website - so far so good...
Now I have two issues:
First - when i first turn on the phone i didn't get the "welcome wizard" that normally sets up the connections and email accounts etc... Its like the first run screen is hidden and never completes, when I turn off the phone you can briefly see the "learn about the on-screen keyboard" wizard as Manilla closes
Second - each time i restart the phone it turns on the wifi, even when i specifically turned it off.
My thoughts are that the startup wizard never finishes so there are some settings that don't retain each reboot?
I have tried several hard reboots, and used Task29 to format and re-install the rom from scratch, the connection autosetup isn't such a big deal for me as i can run them manually however this phone is mean to be going to my brother and i don't want him to have any problems in future if he has to reset it...
Anyone see this before or have any suggestions?

Go into comm manager and switch the phone to off wait about a minute then switch it back on again, the setup wizard should appear after that.
Superb thank you,
Fixed on both counts! Is this quite a well know issue then?

Same here. I found the solution completely by accident but the start wizard being hidden in the background was really starting to annoy me. Glad it's sorted now.

Just switching on airplane mode also brings the wizard on top so you can compleate it.
i had same problems and stumbled over this, great help.. thanks!
Sometimes i cant get wifi to work, i open comm manager and wifi its turned on even if i have disable it the last time i use. Then i turn it off and turn on again and i cant get it to work. If i made a soft reset with wifi on, the next boot in comm manager the wifi switch its on, but in task bar it's not showing the wifi icon, then i cant connect even if disable and enable.
The only way to make it work again its doing some soft resets, and sometimes even power off, before this i have to disable it in comm manager.
I thought its my phone problem and today installed the standard rom that came with my phone to send it to rma, but before, i try to replicate the problem and no sucess, wifi always working even after turn off, soft reset etc...
I allways do task 29 before flash, except today that i have installed standard rom, then the cooked.
The roms i use to flash are xanny and nrgz, i have the same problem in both, i even try diferent radios...
Any tip?
Thanks
Since I started flashing I've had this problem. Right after the flash WiFi works like a charm but after the first reset it's gone.
Solution I've been using for more than a year now is the following:
- Goto the WiFi Settings in your configuration settings and push on "Wireless Networks"
- Then "Edit" this profile (in WM 6.5.x the button on the bottom of your screen)
- Then goto "Name Servers" and put in your own
Gateway IP address in the DNS box and/or Wins box
- Press "OK" twice and you'll see the WiFi icon popup in your topbar
I know it's not the best solution but at least it works without having to reset it first (until the next reset. 'cause then you'll have to it again)
Hope it's working for you too.
Thanks i wil try next time to do that.
Its very weird my phone have almost 2 years and in the begining i start to flash i didn't have any problems like this, the original rom didn't last 24h in my phone, i didn't know exactly when it start to happen, but its only in the cooked roms.
I couldn't replicate it in the original rom...
But now since i installed the original rom and then a cooked rom it only happens once, lets see if it gets better.
Wifi Blues
Hi all
I am also facing similar issues on my Blackstone. I am using blackstonehenge rom and tried energy, kwbr rom as well. But my wifi and blue tooth some how don't work.
Today for the first time wifi signal was identified but it dried down quickly afterwards. No clue how it came or why it went away.
Please I need assistance. Can any body help Please.
Regards
I have same problem. Any solution?
well, a good start is to flash the latest radio rom. many cooked roms recommend it and have the corresponding rilphone integrated. if you are already on the latest radio, flash a previous version and then back to latest radio. also, after a radio upgrade, a hard reset is recommended. that should usually get it working.
Hi,
This may be way off mark but thought I'd mention it anyway.
My WIFI worked fine on my phone, then I flashed my first cooked rom a couple of weeks ago. After a soft reset, WIFI would start and be fine for a few minutes then wouldn't connect to anything.
I went through the settings and noticed that the WIFI was set to "best Battery". I moved this to "best performance" and WIFI has been fine ever since.
Like I say, this may be too simple but mabye worth a try.
Cheers
Wifi and Blue Tooth
Chef
I followed your guidelines but my blackstone Wifi and Blue Tooth are not yet working.
Anyother advise?
Please Help me??

Hi!
Got my Priv(stv100-4) yesterday,and after setting it up i realised that pbk gestures is not working.
It is enabled in settings,the phone has the latest updates and all blackberry apps are also updated. I also tried the "factory reset" several times.
Everything else is working perfect so i don,t see what causes this. Is there a setting somewhere that i am missing or did i just get a defective device?
If possible i would reflash the firmware,but haven,t found a way to do that.
Sombody have a good advise for me?
Was hoping to avoid sending it back for replacement...

If as you say it is enabled in settings, then it just has to work. Have you tried turning gestures off, restarting phone, then turning it back on?
Also you can try pressing VOL UP BUTTON and VOL DOWN BUTTON for at least 10 Second. Device should restart.
Thanks for replying.
tried both,and nothing happend.
guess i just have to send it back.
PKB gestures only work when using the Blackberry Keyboard, so if you installed say, the Google keyboard instead, and set it as the active input method, PKB gestures stop working. You have to use the Blackberry Keyboard as the active input method.
I wish it could be someting that easy,but i only have the blackberry keyboard installed
