I hate posting questions like this, but I can't seem to find any answers by searching...
For the past few days, whenever I close an application (or the program menu), the phone application will be there right behind it, forcing me to close it as well. If I start another program, use it for awhile, then close it, the phone app shows up again. Any ideas? It started right around the time I installed pocket toolman, but I'm not sure if that is the cause.
i am having the exact same problem.
it started immediately after flashing to dcd 3.2.6 rom and radio 3.42.40.
very annoying.
thanks in advance for any suggestions

ps: this problem persists despite numerous soft resets.

Someone had this in the updating forum next door.
Much appreciated!

I hope you guys can help?
I upgraded my rom without a hitch on Saturday from the O2 website, however whenever I click the sounds tab in "sounds and notifications" my exec hangs. A soft reboot does not help. All thoughts appreciated.
Have you tried a hard reset, if so I would sugest downloading the ROM upgrade again and re-installing it, I had no problems - from another sandgrownun - Mike
I reflashed it and everything was fine. Re-installed my apps and same problem occured. I will backtrack the apps tomorrow and post the result here.
Nice to see another seasider in her
I am bit stuck on this one. I removed all apps, downloaded a fresh copy of the rom and re-installed without any apps. I got the problem straight away even without installing any apps. I tried in basic and corporate mode but still got the same issue.
It affects start/settings/sounds and notifications/notifications tab and also start/settings/phone. If I tap either they eventually open after a two minutes wait (to the second). I use it all the time so getting the time to figure it out by flattening it every time is a pain. I dont know much about XDA as I was on an SPV before so any ideas are appreciated.
I have noticed a peculiar event with my 8125. When I recharge my phone, it freezes after reaching full charge. It doesn't happen all the time, but enough to be noticed. I have absolutely no idea why this would occur. This poses a certain problem in that I sometimes use the phone's alarm and I charge it while I sleep. Any thoughts as the source of the problem and the solution? Thanks.
Same Problem!
Glad I am not the only one......
Any cures for this woe?
What Alarm program are you using?
Hello Curious D,
What Alarm program are you using? Since I am having that same problem some one else suggested that it may a problem with that program. I am using:
Green Software's "Alarm Clock"
The alarm is a freeware version called AlarmClock v0.04. It works fine actually and the fault is not limited to when I have the alarm running. Actually, I don't have this alarm running now because I can't rely on it and the problem still persists.
My alarm clock info
Hello again,
My alarm clock program is AlarmClock v.04 as well. Perhaps there is at least correlation between the problem and the program. Though you say this happens even when the alarm is not set? Have you tried completely uninstalling the alarm clock from the wizard? Perhaps I will try this. The only problem is "The Problem" is only intermittent....What to do..???
I have been having problems with this unit freezing on an intermittent basis that appear to be random. It may be that I have noticing this freeze after fully charging only because it is an event that I can latch on the intermittent freezes on. I have to soft reset my phone at least twice a day. The most annoying thing is not realizing that my phone has frozen so I miss calls. I have been loathing the idea that I have to do a hard reset since reinstalling everything is such a pain. I installed SKTools in hopes that it might have solved my problem, but no such luck. (I have to probably do the same on my desktop and laptop since they have slowed down without any known viruses or trojans showing up on scans.) The hardest thing about reinstalling everything on this phone is how long do I wait for a possible freeze before I can install the next program. That process could take a couple weeks given the number of programs I have on this phone (about 35 plus some other required programs).
I am at the same point
Considering a hard reset, or possibly re-flashing the original rom. But as you have pointed out...doing this in such a manor as to track down offending software can take forever! I am really not sure what to do here. I really wish that we could get some more people who have had, and possibly solved, these problems to chime in. But it appears that most every one on this forum is more interested in the next greatest rom or CrossBow.......... Is there a forum that is more geared toward the actual everyday use of and problem solving of the Wizard? Maybe I am in the wrong place?
The problem i have is whenever i open a text message the page is scrolled all the way down. I have to scroll up to read the message.
It is an XDA Exec running WM6 and works fine after a hard reset but after some time it starts again. I suspect some software may have changed a setting somewhere but it never happens straight away after all my software is installed. I can do a hard reset install all software then its fine for some time then all of a sudden it starts.
Has anyone else had this happen or know any possible solutions ?
yup, happened to my hermes when i upgrade it with WM6, seems to be some aplication that we installed that makes that error. without solution i hardreset my handset, install the progie one by one and looking the messanging for any error, continuing till all the apps are installed, spb backup it at last
Hi thanks for the reply.
If you find anything please let me know.
I have tried the installing one at a time and checking but everything was fine. Then all of a sudden it started doing it and i am sure i had not installed anything else.
I will probably try again but i do not have the time at the moment.
Just wondering if anyone else have the same problem .. it's driving me nuts during hard resets, i have been reading this forums almost everyday and don't see anyone reporting on this issue
whenever i do a hard reset and try to install all my programs. In the midst of installing the programs, Manila will randomly get corrupted and i will be unable to use the touchscreen properly. At the START menu, whatever program i touch, it will show "MOVE TO THE TOP" and i can't scroll up or down.
i have to hard reset again in order to restore Manila and install the programs very very slowly and with a lot of time lag in between programs installation. Meaning, i install program A .. wait for 1-2 hours, install program B .. wait for 1-2 hours ...
very very irriting and i seem to be able to duplicate the issue quite successfullly. I ever had to hard reset 5-7 times during the weekend, until i realise i can prevent the issue by install my programs very very slowly.
Has anyone encountered the same problem?

Does it happen if you don't install any software? I only ask in case it's a particular application that's causing the problem.
If it does happen, you should immediately get on to your supplier to arrange a replacement.

that's the strange thing, it doesn't happen at any particular application .. and after hard reset, it will work fine.
it sorts of happens randomly, whilst during program installation.
i'm thinking of bringing it down to HTC service center but i bet they will do a hard reset and show me that everything's fine and blame it on the 3rd party SW.

Can you not try using it for a while without any 3rd party software? Just to see if it happens that way. This is obviously not a long-term solution, but if it only happens during installation then it actually does sound like that's the problem.

have tested that out, the symptops will NOT surface, in fact the phone is very stable as long as i don't do a mass installation of the apps. Now i am restricting myself for 1 App installation PER DAY.
but i can successfully duplicate the issue almost 95% of the time by doing a mass installation of my apps (install1, reboot, install App2 ..)
very strange and it seems not as wide spread as i thought it would be .. i have not heard of such similar problems yet.
What rom are you on please?

Currently on 1.66 but i have seen it in both 1.66 and 1.48 ROMs
Can somebody with the know how make a little program which litterally only performs one task: kills the process services.exe.
The reason for this is it is the cause of many soft resets in a day. Sometimes not even fixing the slowdown anyway and causing the famous black screen of death.
But as soon as i go to sktools and use the processes tool and kill the process phone goes back to being how it should! However because the phone goes into major slowdown it takes ages for the sktools processes program to load and then hard to select services from the list because of the lagging etc so it would be nice just to have a link that i could put on my quick links and when phone goes to melt down just press this magic button which saves the phone being hurled at a wall!
It needs to be called Meltdown Override or something!
This is a serious request as it would make HD2 use a much more pleasant experience!
Many thanks
This is pretty easy to do AFAIK...
If nobody else does it, I can do it when I have some more free time ...
I would appreciate this so much!
I think I may even use AEB to assign it to a long press of the back key or something
But, does services.exe auto-starts again? Because you could have some problems if you kill it and don't start it again...
Yer it does straight away but not running at 90% + CPU.
I find it unlikely that services.exe is really the culprit here, but rather a service installed on your phone that is misbehaving. If you find out which service is causing the problem, and then uninstall or disable it....

This guy is right...
Ive only just installed a new ROM voda UK 1.72 so I have next to no programs installed at the moment so I don't see what could cause it.
The main time this happens is when left charging over night and when you go to use it in the morning it's completely screwed. Soft reset doesnt fix it it just goes to black screen of death so then u have to take the battery cover off and reset again. The only thing i have found to get it to a useable state again is to kill process services.exe, and then its fine again. Once by doing that it stopped weather update and text messaging from working but atleast when i then did a soft reset things where still fine and those two things worked again and no laggy phone.
I kno it seems stupid to just kill a process and not find the problem but i cant see what the problem could be considering how recently i hard reset the phone (which i did 3 times in total to see if it got rid of the problem).
Just forget that ROM and go back to a working one? Seems easy to me... don't always need to have the latest or highest version number, just something that works... If 1.72 doesn't work for you, don't use it!
I would if it wasn't for the fact that after doing the annoying procedure in the morning of killing process "services.exe" then soft reseting, it runs the quickest i have ever been able to use the device on any ROM before it
You know that services.exe is one of the main parts of your phone-funcionality (calls, sms, etc.)?
As you said you experience it in most cases in the morning... Have u got GAlarm installed?
If yes --> Did you check the RegKey MidnightWakeup=True and change it to false?
My Girlfriends TD2 had the same issue. CPU usage by services.exe was often around 70-90% until i applied this change...
Services.exe is just like svchost on a windows-machine, it just hosts a bunch of services. So most likely its a service that has gone crazy.
