I hate this phone!

this phone is starting to stress me out more then work does!
the memory card messes up atleast twice a month. and i've only had it for 2 and a half months!
for i have to reformat the phone all the time, cuz somehow the memory card messes up my programs too. i installed IguidenceV3 on the storage card, and now that the card messed up, when i reinstall it, the program won't run! it keeps saying it's not signd with a trusted certificate or one of it's compents aren't found. WTF!
i deletw, reinstall, reflash etc.. nothing works anymore!
i have reflashed my phone about 10 times already!
im about to throw my phone against the wall!
argh!
wtf is wrong with this phone!
i even used sprite backup to make a backup of all my stuff, so if my phone does fuk up again, i can easily restore it, but the restore keeps failing! wtf! i hate this ****!

either youve messed up somink real bad...or you got bad luck :shock:
my phone is fine..! had it since march..done one hard reset to get rid of the tmobile stuff..
storage card etc is fine
:?

im running 2.17 t-mo rom, i tired the new 2.21 rom, my phone keeps freezing when it loads up today screen. it loads half the programs and stops.

Your best bet at this point is to do a hard reset, wipe everything, and then reinstall NOTHING for a day and see how the phone works. Not 15 minutes or an hour, a day. If it seems ok, try overclocking again if you really think you need it. Again, install NOTHING else and let it go for a day and see if overclocking kills it. If not, start installing software, one by one, and see how the phone reacts to each. Don't install a dozen and play with them, install one at a time, check it out, do stuff with it, see how everything reacts before installing the next one. And finally, the today screen crap sucks up tons of memory and CPU time and leaks like a sieve. Get rid of it.

Sounds like some pretty good advice. Having all of those programs installed will surely create some type of conflicts within the OS.

when I first got my K-Jam, I installed all the plugins and apps I had on my last PPC. I found within a day or so my K-Jam would simply reboot itself whether I was touching it or not. And it did it a LOT!
I did a hard reset and ran it that way for a couple days and it was an amazing phone. I then only installed a couple apps at a time. I eventually found it was a today plugin that was causing my problems.
I haven't had a single problem since then. I'm betting it's one of the *MANY* apps you have installed.

I agree with markgamber, to do a hard reset and run it clean for a while. Rather than blame the phone, perhaps the issues lie with the storage card.
Also, some apps don't like to run from the storage card, as I had a similar same problem with PocketMusic installed on the card. It was flakey, getting worse by the day, and after a hard-reset and reinstall this time on the device it runs fine (so far).
I just installed iGuidance v3 but put the app on the device with maps on the card. It runs fine so far.
After verifying the phone is working okay without third-party software, install iGuidance on the device (maps on card, of course) and give it a try. If you still have trouble, try replacing the card.

[Duplicated message. Wish you could delete messages!]

if you on 02 get rid of the o2 active rubbish itll run a lot better

Oh yeah....one last thing since I see you're running 2.17....get rid of that tweaks rubbish. I run 2.17 and it works great just as it is. All you're going to do by "tweaking" it is destablize it for what probably amounts to an imperceptable performance gain. I'd also recommend dumping the overclock bit, too. If you get rid of all that today screen junk, you will probably find that real apps run just fine without having to resort to tricks like overclocking.

T-Zones main page & IE Favorites error

Hello,
This is my first post, but I've been a member for several months. Currently, I have the NBD WM6 ROM installed on my Wizard, and have been using it for about a month now with only minor issues. What prompted me to post this was when I went to access http://wap.myvoicestream.com for T-Mobile's T-Zones. It now seems to be some other (non t-mobile) website, and I can't find any information on this (it's actually a re-direct). I can't remember the last time I've accessed the site (maybe about 2 weeks ago). I only really use this as a quick way to look up movie times usually, so it's not a major issue, but thought I'd ask around if anyone knows what happened.
My other problem as that I seem to get the following error when trying to access favorites from PIE: "An error occured while opening Favorites. No program memory available.". I'm pretty sure that it works fine when I first install the ROM or do a hard reset, but I wanted to see if anyone else has this issue.
Note that I have at least 15+ mb Program memory free, and 16+ mb of Storage memory free. Also, I had just recently installed PIE+, but the issue was there before that (I usually use Netfront 4.3, but wanted to tre PIE with PIE+ to try to reduce the number of programs I use).
I'll be happy to list all the software installed if that will help.

Well, you can nevermind about the t-zones website. Seems to be working fine now, but only if I'm connecting when not using ActiveSync (or whatever the Vista version is called). Just disconnected and tried to connected again, and it went to the T-zones main page. Very strange. That could actually be linked with using PIE+, but whatever. So long as it works when I'm out and about.
Still having issues with the PIE Favorites, though.

Regarding to the screenshot you attached: it is not a t-zones problem! You have running memory-eating programs in the background, so, the www application has no available memory left to run the task ...

Yeah, I figured that had nothing to do with t-zones, I was pointing out two different issues (the t-zones being a fluke). Sorry if my posting about two different subjects makes it seem that I'm connecting the two.
As far as memory, here's what I said in my post: "Note that I have at least 15+ mb Program memory free, and 16+ mb of Storage memory free. " But for clarification, I meant that this was the amount of memory available while running PIE - in other words, I ran PIE, then went to settings and checked my memory. And the only things running at the time is PIE or PIE and ActiveSync. That's it. But the error still comes up.

What ROM version are you running? The official 2.26 from the TMO page or another one?
Seems like there is something eating your recources. I know from my own experiences that ActiveSync is a real killer-app when ever it synchronizes.
Also:
a lot of programs just do not show up in the MEMORY. 2 of those 'ghosts' are SPB MOBILE SHELL and also DockWARE. Allthrough this are not killer-apps!
If you have the chance and time back up your whole device and then perform a CLEAR STORAGE. Access t-zones and see how it works. Afterwards start to build back the device by adding a prog and then run t-zones again - this is a loooong but safe way to locate a killer-app on your PPC. When you found the responsible application try to find something similar instead of that particular program ...
I have only 5MB free program memory and no problems running t-zones ...

Just to re-iterate, this is not something tied into t-zones. I can access it just fine on my phone. The error occurs when I try to access the favorites from within PIE. This is what causes the error (well, maybe not causes, but it generates the error). Click "favorites" and you get above error.
Also, as stated in my original post, I'm running the NBD ROM. I know the favorites works on this ROM because I stored some of these favorites when putting my system together.
Also, when you say "eating my resources", I would have to note that it should at lest indicate memory is being eaten up. In other words, it wouldn't show that I have 15mb free, it would show a lot less. Even if a program doesn't show up in task manager and is a "ghost" as you say, it would still take away some of my memory.
Anyway, I'll try your suggestion in reverse - I'll back up my system then uninstall things one at a time and see if that can fix it (and hopefully pinpoint the problem program). I can always restore later. That may not pin point the problem, but I don't have time right now to go through and re-install and configure everything to see what causes the problem.

how much free program memory should I have?

I'm running Black Dymond 3.5 on my TyTN and I'm not sure how much free program memory I'm supposed to have.
I rarely have over 9mb of Program memory free. Total of 48mb.
I'm getting tons of crashes (like many other people), have tried either running everything on the storage card, or everything on the device. Either way I'm restarting at least 10 times/day, even crashing during phone calls.
Many times programs won't even load either. (Opera especially)
Could this be due to the memory being short? If so, what tweaks should I be using to increase available RAM?
Thanks!

You may be a little low on programme memory but I think the crashes are more likely due to a variety of other factors that may be shown here:

Mike

so how much ram *should* I ideally have?

I'd say a bit more than the program that you are about to start needs. You might have tested (installed and uninstalled) many programs and that lets windows run unstable in many cases. And have you tried to give it to the service point and say that it crashes all day long? I think it could even be a hardware problem.

Thanks for the reply.
I seem to have fixed at least half of my crashing issues by removing Spb Phone.
I've started using phonealarm and that's been working great.
My biggest problem now is the phone slowing down (crashing maybe?) when receiving a call, to the point where I can't answer it.
Is there a specific # of free program memory I should be aiming for? I'm thinking of giving LVSW a try. just need to decide on which flavour.

phone memory full

strange problem with the phones memory being full
seems to be loading kb files on but takes up mb space, just loaded a 3.5kn file but took up 30 mb space
any help would be great

Full because you have probably installed every app onto the internal memory. Reinstall them onto the SD card.
While you are at it, read this thread for tips on how to maximise your memory space....http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=583638

il explain a bit more. i dont have a HD2 im trying to sort this for a friend, i do have the touch pro 2 and i have never had to install apps on the SD card, i must have 30/40 apps on it (games TC resco etc ) and i still have loads of space
my memory reads
storage total 283mb used 166 free 117
program total 188 used 110 free 76
i have never got anywhwere near full
my mates HD2 is new and he has added very little in terms of apps(1 or 2 at the most ) but when i got to it today it only had about 35/40 mb free
i added the 4 short cut cab instead of the standard 3 short cut tabs and it used 30 mb of memory
something does seem right with this or is it that the HD2 short of memory

have you been downloading any stuff from internet / opera browser?
The HD2 is short of memory but it shoudn't be a problem having some stuff on SD card.

The HD2's shortness of memory is only relative. It still has 145MB free Storage after a hard reset, which is a huge increase on previous generations of WinMo phone before the HD, and TD models.
It is probable that users are inadvertantly storing photos and videos in main memory rather than the SD card. Add this to the effects of the Album and Browser caches and the memory can get filled up.
C-G: There is no way that a simple tweak installation would cause this problem. Either your friend has failed to notice something else, or there is some sort of major problem with the device, or somwe software he has installed.

theres no photos videos etc taking it up, i check all that i removed shazam that it saidd was 50 mb but only freed up about 5 mb
as for the app i installed it myself on his phone and it went from 40mb free space to 11 mb free in one go very strange

You are right, it does seem strange, and unrelated to other threads on this issue.
If you (or your friend) are really adventures you could give MTTY a go. It sort of formats the internal memory. After that flash a fresh (shipped) rom.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=616422

Combat,
Its me again. In the thread I pointed you to it also tells you how to move the album and opera caches to storage card. Have you tried these tips?
If you do and you still have problems then backup the data on the device, do a hard reset, then on reboot, check the available memory and use that as a startpoint (compare it to the public specs to make sure you are there or thereabouts). Then reinstall all your apps onto the external storage card (not the internal memory) and see what happens.
Oh, one more thing before you do all this; install Showcase, which is a task manager, and see what programmes are running in the background that you thought were closed. These eat memory and can cause the symptoms you allude to.
Whatever you do, DON't go playing with MTTY. Its an advanced tool and you can do some serious damage if you don't know what you are doing.
I am confident that if you follow the steps here you will solve your problems.
If yo don't, return the device for an exchange.

...i had problems with internal memory, i think were problems of programs cache like htc album, opera...i tried with SKTOOLS for cleaning temporal archives and this work ok

thanks for all the help i have pointed my mate in thedirection of this thread , and once tried i will post some feedback that may help others
thanks again

Are you really sure. As wacky.banana suggested, I would return the device as faulty first.

As the others have said, there is something seriously wrong here
Shazam is actually less than 1MB in size, though saved tags may take some space.
If this is showing as 50MB and it isn't being recovered there is something drastically wrong.

still trying to sort this out yesterday my mate did a hard reset so he could start from scratch to add things and see how the memory goes
he no informs me that since the hard reset he has lost camera, keyboard functions etc dont have full details yet but this isnt normal, i hard reset my TP2 a couple of times a month flashing new roms then doing hard resets and its ok
any advice would be great
thanks

What version ROM are you using in your device?

couldnt tell you its not mine think its the stock europe rom unbranded, why i cant see what rom would do this after a hard reset
im going to get him to download the new 1.43 rom and install that later on unless anyone can suggest other wise
i have not know a hard reset result in the loss of functions

You mean version 1.48, which was what I was going to suggest but you are ahead of me here. Even if it's already on the device might be worth re-flashing.

Tell him to stop messing around and return this as a faulty device
He's now had 2 major issues with different aspects of the phone- memory allocation and now camera problems.
It is likely that there is some sort of fault with the memory chip itself leading to internal memory errors. This may also explain the other hardware issues if the device is trying to load these services into an unaddressable memory location.

Hello, I am a newbie, but one frustrating factor I've been dealing with is that there is virtually no information on the "cheaper" tablets. I have a ZEEPAD I purchased from Amazon. It is a lot of fun for a VERY small price.
However, now I have a memory problem. After resetting the tablet, it shows that my internal memory is full, even though there are NO apps installed. I cannot install anything from the market; all installs fail because the tablet detects or thinks there is no memory available.
I have an old CRUZ tablet, and I can get into the program by holding down the + volume when pressing the power button, but that does not work with this tablet.
In the "info" section of the tablet, it states that this is a TWD_MID tablet, android 4.0.4. There has to be something I can try before I have to ship this back to China. Please be understanding of my "newbie" status.......

I have the same issue with mine! Weird, wonder what the deal is? I hope someone with some knowledge of this can help us because it is an fun tab especially for the price..

WMtorrent slows down everything

hi, my first post ever just got HTC Leo, flashed it and instlled arteus rom and sbp mobile shell. everything works like a dream, exept one program: wmtorrent.
whenever i launch wmtorrent my phone becomes unusable because everything is so slow. cant even open taskmanager sometimes.
is it because wmtorrent is installed on the SD-Card, or does everyone have this problem?

im not sure we can talk much about torrents on this site lol

Could be caused by several things. First of all - sbp shell - although nice, is a complete resource hog plus it will eat your battery quickly...so you might try getting rid of that.
Next I would take a look at all your configs in wmtorrent - make sure it's not making too many connections and such. And if you pulling down a lot of torrents at once that can cause an issue too. Anyway I'm using it on my t-mobile HD2 and no real issues here...

I had the same issue..
..and for me, it was simple: when you download something it gets stored on your device memory until it is complete, even though you are downloading it to your SD-card. Sadly, the HD2 have the worst internal memory in history so... good luck with that. You need free internal memory for your device to operate smoothly. I had 70MB internal memory left, and tried to download a file on 80MB, then I ended up with no free space on my device for it to work with.. but after some time lagging through it and deleting the download it was OK again.
The SD-card itself can be a problem, if it is huge, have a lot of files on it and it is a lower class SD-card. There are class 1-6 on them (it should say so on the card itself what class it is, 1 being slowest, 6 being fastest).
